Quick question. I've flashed modems before when installing a rom (like any of the i9000 kernels) but was wondering if that modem stays when I flash a rom like, Cognition. Are there times when the modem stays? If I flashed to, I think it was JG8 to get HSUPA with an i9000 kernel, if I decide to go back to the CogKernel, do I have to swap out the modem again?

I believe when you flash COG it will also flash a new modem. I dont' recall which one DG has in the latest COG. Anyone?

So I flashed Tayutama Themed JPM Rom with JPM modem, I9000 reoriented kernel & working HSUPA (10-20-10) and all works well. I then wanted to flash back to Cog 8.1, and flash was successful, only cannot access the network, I get a "not registered on network" error. I tried ODIN one click 2.2, ODIN 2.1 one click. ODIN cog 8 all with no luck. I flashed back to Tayutama rom, and radio works. Any idea what im doing wrong?
Thanks!
Fixed it! flashed a new modem to the phone and it works again.
This will upgrade your modem from either DI18 or EB13 to EC05.....
Flash this in CW and your good to go.
ALL Credit goes to Randy_T at Bonsai, he is the coding genius behind this script I modded slightly, sprinkled in some Autism Awareness and created a .zip for use on ANY ROM.
Enjoy....

If I didn't find using Odin so easy and not updated already I would have given this a shot. Great that users are getting so many different options. The Devs for the Epic are rocking as of late!
Is there a specific version of CM I should use for this? I have flashed it a couple times and it seems to work but when my phone reboots I am still on EB13.

No it doesn't matter which CW you use. What does the baseband version read? Under settings/about phone look for baseband. What's the version number.
is this going to wipe the data on the phone?

I re downloaded and flashed and now baseband is sd700.0.5s.ec05 so must have worked this time.

I've flashed twice and still says I am on EB13. Will this not work with other ROMS?

Well, looking at the script, it checks a variable in the build.prop of the rom (located in the system folder) to see what it should update, so I guess it depends on if the rom is based on EB13, or if it is based on a newer/older version.
If, say for instance, the rom is based on DK28 (or EC05), even though the modem is EB13 (possibly updated through Odin, or even from stock EB13), the script will see your phone having the DK28 (or EC05) modem and not update it.
The only way I see to get by this is if the script is altered to check for a DI18 rom, and flash the DI18->EC05 update; and if it isn't a DI18 rom, assume it has the EB13 modem and flash the EB13->EC05 update. In which case, if the phone doesn't have the EB13 modem, it wouldn't work anyway (right?), and no harm done.
So, if this is your case, I would try flashing the other, specific, EB13->EC05 modem update.zip.

I'm running Viper Synergy which is an EB13 ROM but I did flash the other EB13 to EC05 modem zip and it's now showing correct in my About Phone
Is there any way to get from DK28 modem to EC05 without Odin? I don't have access to any computers that run Odin or Heimdall correctly.
yes i just posted a cwm zip that will update it using redbend_ua
Does this also work with EXT4??

I believe it doesn't make a difference if running rfs or ext4, as this upgrades/patches the modem while in CWM. But, in your case (running ext4), you have to be running an EB13 rom with the EB13 modem for it to work.
Sorry for dumb question.. as I am really novice for installing custom rom..
I read similar contents from [BIONIX BIUI] but there is no Q&A of [BIONIX BIUI] here so allow me to post here...
I was in Darky Rom and switched to FusionXII direct through CWM qithout any problem and now hope to flash BINIX BIUI...
Do I have to flash UCKL2's stock bootloader first through ODIN then should flash KJ2 based custom rom or can flash direct through CWM ???
Anything should I be careful when switching from one rom to another ??
Thanks, guys...
Pls consider I am learning step by step...
Yes you still have bootloadets

You should avoid messing with bootloaders whenever possible.
The only reason EVER to flash a bootloader on Infuse is to transition from Froyo to Gingerbread - once you're on a Gingerbread bootloader, if you're staying with a Gingerbread ROM, keep the bootloader.

I had GB running. Last night I flashed Infused 1.6.0 (Froyo), and then came back to GB rom, with no issues. So I think once we are on GB, we can switch back and forth while being careful not to mess with CWM.
Or maybe I was lucky 'cos the the line in Infused 1.6.0 changelog:
"Removed recovery binary to prevent the phone from booting into green CWM"
stick with gingerbread bootloaders after you install them
I'd avoid Bionix for the time being. I've been doing this for a while and I it's taking some work to get back.. flash around with the others for a while and get some experience.. Doesn't mean you don't have good work nopco..
Ok, thanks guys...
Sorry again for novice question again..
I want to "Stick" to GB bootloarder... the problem is "HOW?"
I read through forum and found out there is no way to check whether I am in GB' bootloader or not...
Already flashed with UCKL2 Stock Rom once, so can I consider I have GB bootloader now ???
I flashed other rom such as MaxQ, FusionXII and re-flash to BIONIX without Rainbow problem so this is ok now ?
Thanks again for advice again, duds..

During switch between one rom to another, my device also booted in "Green Recovery" then I ODIN with community kernel to get Red CWM recovery to re-flash other rom.
Did I do something wrong ??

Everyone has their way of installing roms. What's weird is I have no idea how everyone is getting different color recovery screens other than red. The only recovery I've ever had has always been red in Cwm. Simple if your on Froyo if you flash the community kernel v8 reboot into recovery, you'll be in red Cwm and can flash any rom you want without issues. You don't need to worry about changing the kernel cause most roms come with a kernel and will erase the community kernel v8. Why is this all so difficult?

Yes, I also though as you explained...
I have flashed GB based rom as I believe... never flashed to Froyo Rom.
So there should be no worries about bootloader or kernel.
But when I flashed BOINIX which is based on stock Kernel, things messed up with shown Rainbow affect and this was caused because I was in Froyo Kernel as I read.
Ok, so now I want to make really sure I am in GB bootloader.
Question is,
If flashed successfully to GB based Rom, bootloader is not to be concerned ??
Is there anyway to flash ONLY GB BOOTLOADER with ODIN to make sure I am on GB bootloader ?
Sorry again for dumb question again...
I am really, really newbie not only for Infuse but for ANDROID totally so need help and advice.

The bootloader are found within the kernel itself. So if you flashed a gb rom using a gb based kernel you are on gb bootloader and not froyo. Froyo stock based kernels may cause rainbow screens cause it won't work with gb roms this is why you are getting them.

Edit: community kernel v8 works for both froyo and gb. I flash it using sgs kernel flasher from the market and then I'm able to flash gb roms without getting bootloops and other issues. You can't flash a gb kernel over Froyo cause it will cause bootloops and it won't load and you'll have to gtg to stock again.

@Axiomkid,
Thanks for kind advice, now I know clearly,
1) Bootloader is in the kernel so unnecessary to flash separately.
2) Community kernel V8 works both for Gb and Froyo so it will be ok to flash Community kernel v8 to get Red CWM to re-flash other GB Rom from existing GB Rom.
Another question is,
If I want to flash Froyo Rom from existing GB Rom, what is the right way to do and if flash to Froyo Rom, I am on Froyo Bootloader, right ??
Thanks again & Merry Christmas !
If you wanna go back to Froyo use Odin and flash GTG ultimate unbrick to reformat the phone back to original Froyo.

It is very important if you install a rom and you don't like the kernel, sometimes it can be flashed with a different kernel but chances are it will screw your phone up. I tried using a different kernel on someone's rom and I had a tint of yellow on my screen. The Devs give us a kernel that works specifically for their rom and should not be replaced with another kernel unless told otherwise. People get errors cause of this and fill up a lot of forum space asking why their phone is screwed up. You just need to read before installing a rom. Each rom includes each own set of directions.
Most kernels allow overclocking and under volting your phone, and to be honest I don't mess with the settings so I don't end up with a burnt CPU

WRONG. DEAD WRONG.
The bootloader is a COMPLETELY different entity than the kernel.
Custom Gingerbread kernels (such as Infusion-GB and Daily Driver) have a workaround that allows operation with Froyo bootloaders.
However, working video acceleration in the latest leaks can only be obtained with a stock kernel from one of those leaks. If you flash a kernel and system image from a leak (such as UCKL2) and you get rainbows, you need to flash new bootloaders. If you don't get rainbows - you don't need new bootloaders and should avoid flashing them if at all possible.
(Basically, don't flash anything with boot.bin or sbl.bin using Heimdall or Odin once you're on GB bootloaders.)

Boy, I wish I read this yesterday.
I had struggled with this yesterday trying to install Bionix using heimdall.
Managd to boot loop in 3e blue recovery several times until I flashed bootloaders in heimdall to get back to a working stock.
Paxunion, if I may suggest, if you are on froyo,
I think it'll be easier for you to use Adam outler's heimdall uckj4 return to stock.
Put your phone in the download mode. Flash it once then flash it again with the bootloader checked.
Go to his second post and flash the kernel to get recovery and then you will have gb bootloader and be able to flash the ROM of your choice.
If you did want Bionix, very nice, use the heimdall package that Dani included in the bionix thread. You won't have to flash the kernel step if you use Dani's heimdall package.
Do not check the repartition or partition box with the bionix flash.

From what i understand you have to flash the new radio it doesn't come with the rom and if you want flash the new rpm also.

I can flash the new Jellywiz rls 12 just fine, but still trying to figure out what an "RPM" is. Can't find a simple explanation. The modem at least relates to the mobile data, still can't see if it's necessary to flash though.
if you flash the odin version of I5 jellybean it will include the rom, kernel, radio...however the previous root methods dont work and the bootloader is locked. im not sure if it can be unlocked yet. rpm is a power management update.

I'm assuming once I open the .zip it will have the individual modem file to flash via Odin?
No you will have the whole rom you'll have to flash, honestly i dont believe that rom flashed a new modem, they really shouldn't.

that's too bad- I already have my stock file backed up with twrp... no need to reflash whole firmware.
I thought the recovery used to back up modem file as well? or am I mistaken?
It's been so long since I've played with this type of thing...
I think you have to specify to backup the modem.
Keep this updated if you do get a hold of a flashable modem. I'm in the spot and would like to reflash the stock modem.
