Need to know what phone and build. Without that info, you could get really screwed. I have all of the builds except the DJ20 for the Showcase, and every build for the Mesmerize.

Its the samsung mesmerize running on 2.2 not sure the build this is going to sound super lame but how do i go upon finding it i believe its EA11
edit
its build number sch-i500.EA11
phidelt82 Im almost like 99 percent sure me and you have the exact same phone im on uscc as i believe are you according to your profile if theres anyway you could make a backup of your rom? would that work?

Have you tried reflashing EA11?
Yeah, the modem is the in EA11 Odin flash. If you want a flash specificly for modem only, I can do that too. Just PM me so I don't forget.

why is it that every time i flash a rom, data speeds become complete crap? the apn fix didoes work for me. i don't see a reason why this should happen.
Normally each ROM will have a preferred radio. Make sure you are using the correct radio.

Its best to stick with factory. There has never been scientific proof that any other radio is better than factory.

OK I'm lost what rom do you have?
You also can't expect things to work honky dory if you're flashing a lot lol. Im on stock radio with cm7 and have also used miui and at one point android revolution. I've never had data speed issues.
What issues are you having exactly?

If you're saying the APN fix DOES work for you, the answer to your question is because almost all ROMs have the incorrect APN config for some markets.
I tried the APN "update" on the stock radio using CM7 but my upload speeds are still only around 300k. I'm wondering if the network is still behind here in Kansas City.

Indeed that may be the case. CM7 (as do most custom ROMs) already has the proper build.prop settings to allow 1.3 MB/s upload speeds, and you've already tried my APN changes. There are some threads claiming a few people have lost HSUPA from flashing radios, but I don't know if this situation applies to you.
If you want to confirm without a doubt whether or not your market is HSUPA enabled, try this if you're feeling adventurous. First, backup your current CM7 ROM in ROM Manager, then flash the updated rooted stock RUU that came out a few days ago at THIS thread. This method flashes the updated stock image through the bootloader (using the P98IMG.ZIP method), and it flashes a new radio to your phone. If your speeds stay the same then it's safe to say your market isn't HSUPA enabled yet. However, if your upload speeds improve vastly after doing this method, then just keep that new radio that the new RUU flashed to your phone, and restore your CM7 backup. After restoring CM7, flash the HTC-RIL file that matches the new radio (HTC-RIL 2.2.0079HM). You can find this RIL in this thread. Works like a charm, I've been running it for a couple of days now on CM7.0.2 stable. Battery life is very good too.
Awesome! Thanks Henry. I'll try it when I get back into town. One of my coworkers has the Inspire (100% stock). I'm going to ask her how her U/L speeds look after the update as well.
Give it 3-5 days, i used to think that too. Your new rom or radio has to get adjusted to each other. Its like a fine wine in most cases. if you flash a new rom it has to get adjusted to the radio vise versa. Its kinda like a new baby thier brains like a sponge soaks up info quickly. just give it time my freind spend a few days with each rom and radio combo you test and on the 3rd to 5th day, data, and kernal test your setup.
The following is a list of modems I have tried with my Captivate.
Notes, Setup, etc.
Cognition 5 b2 kernel, provides root and Clockwork capabilities
Stock 2.3.3 KF1 ROM, removed AT&T bloat that's all
"Tests" were done with Speedtest
General observations were noted in the Saratoga/Albany, NY to NYC, NY area.
Davlik cache wiped before each modem flash via Clockwork
GPS testing using AngryGPS
Looks like
doesn't work here, so just follow the link to the google doc until I find an easier way of doing this.

I will add more as they are available
If anyone has any modems that work with I897 Captivate(!not 9000 series) kernels please feel free to list them, I am searching the forums but I know I am missing some. Clockwork or Odin doesn't matter to me. ;-)
These will continue to be tested on ONLY Captivate based kernels.
Thanks for sharing the results...upload speed of the JL3 is interesting indeed.
How did you flash these modems. I wanna try kb1, but can I flash via cwm, considering I'm on cog 5 beta 2 with cwm 4? Is it compatible?

I think I am going to reflash that one today and let it sit for a while, I have had poor results with any of the newer modems and this build.

I just used Odin3 1.81 to flash these on there. The original files are in the CWM zip files and can be placed in the Phone section of Odin.

What I did was:
1) Grab cwm2 KB1 zip and open it
2) Grab any cwm3 modem zip, open it and replace the modem.bin file with the modem.bin from the KB1 zip
3) Copy cwm3 zip to phone
4) Flash with cwm4 (yes it's compatible)
Here is the one I used. Props to devz3r0 for the cwm3 zip I used.
As a follow up the JL1 is completely unreliable in my short experiences with it.
First and Second run with Speed test were great, then I got a call and quality was so-so. Then after the call I couldn't get the data to reconnect and rebooted. Now the speeds are very slow ping times in the 2000ms range and 3G performance is abysmal at best most of the time it just locks up and says network error.
I doubt I will be able to use this much longer today.

I was right I couldn't deal, so I am currently running JJJV5, yes it's a 9000 modem :X I'm going to run this for a while and see if it's stable on KF1. I like the speed of 3G with this one and signal strength seems up there as some places where I would get 2 EDGE bars before I now get 2 3G bars. As stated I will keep this one for a while and post back some experiences.
Ha! Data is awesome, but you can't hear the phone.. So there you go, useless on a Captivate kernel
I see you added JJJV5 to your results.. I've been dying to try this modem after reading all of the good feedback, but I thought it was a I9000 modem and wasn't compatible.
Edit: Didn't see the above post before replying... Let us know how it goes!
Still looking for some more Captivate modems to try out, if there is anymore.

Unless I missed something I believe all i9k modems must have a i9k compatible kernel to work properly. Yes data will work just fine but voice will not work.

Right as I found out, removed from the spread sheet and added the note in red you quoted
Just added CWM3 downloads to the modems in the list, just so they are all in one place.
Let me know if the links don't work for you.
JV5 works great and it uses 850 by default. No modem dance required.

I have a feeling that is the way mine is looking too, the non-9000 builds simply aren't giving me the service level I require. My data speed is crap, the GPS is horrid and I can't seem to find the fix no matter what I try.
Appreciate it, cool stats!

I thought trying something actually made for our phones would be better, but far from it. I will now stick with i9000 roms and modems, they just work better,faster and are more feature packed. I guess the carriers requirements are the problem. Thanks for your research.

I downloaded the gb leak from LG when it came out. I liked it at first but I missed the LG camera. So I flashed CWM with nvflash. I did a nandroid backup. I was still not rooted yet. Then I flashed Eagles Blood 1.05 Froyo then did the supeoneclick root method and then flashed faux kernel. I happened to notice that I kept the new baseband the whole time. Which was a surprise to me. Do jot know if this will help anyone but just thought maybe someone might want to know if they wanted the baseband. I am not sure if this will work with other roms but I tried it with Eagles Blood 1.05 Froyo.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
I'm pretty sure none of the ROMs in this forum have a baseband included in the .zip file. So none of them should change the baseband in any way.
Since no dev has uploaded a flashable update for the baseband (probably so nobody bricks their phone), the only way to get it is by using the lg updater tool.
It seems that the 2.3.3 roms and the 2.3.4 roms from cm7 source are working with the new baseband, I haven't checked to see whether any based on faux's aosp are working.
Hope that helps anybody.
Can you make a nandroid of Eagle's Blood 1.0.5 with the new baseband and post it here? I'm trying to do the update via LG's program but it's bricked my phone and crashed windows 7 twice. This is my first experience with the dreaded blue screen of death!
My understanding nandroid doesn't backup baseband

if you're thinking a nandroid will backup the radio, you're wasting your time. if that were the case,everyone could simply flash the rooted gb leak that is posted and instantly have the new baseband. FOR ANYONE THAT IS CURIOUS--AS OF RIGHT NOW, THERE IS NO WAY TO GET THE NEW BASEBAND WITHOUT FIRST FLASHING THE RECENT GB LEAK. not yelling at you tidewaterns, just wanted to make that clear to everyone.

I am not sure. I just posted this on the forums because of people wanting the new baseband. I did a backup of it and I will post it if anyone wants to give it a try. Just let me know. Do I need to check with doniqcc before I post it since he is the original creator and I am definitely not trying to step on someones toes. I am in no way shape or form a dev like him I was just trying to help out.
OMG it wouldnt matter.... the radio/baseband is NOT included in a nandroid... anyways... how was the new radio on froyo???

I do not know how it got on there. The way I got it on there was by doing the steps above. I was not trying to achieve anything. I just wanted to flash Eagles Blood Froyo. It was a complete accident I just noticed that it stayed the same after flashing Eagles Blood Froyo.

once you have the new baseband, you can flash any g2x rom in the world and retain the same baseband. think about it. has lg or tmobile released a radio for this phone yet...separately? no. the baseband in the leak was flashed along with the rom. there is no other way to get it other than to go through kdz or lg updater. nandroid cannot and will not ever backup the radio .

I got it about it does not retain it. I was just letting someone know that is a way to retain it.
I'm curious to know does the baseband contain anything that fixes random reboots and other issues that we are not getting in other roms that just came out without it's presence?

Having a major problem. I just installed CM7 but did not get a working signal, just got "searching for service". Before installing I was using a Sense ROM and it was working 100%- but I do remember switching off LTE when I was on the ROM and I never changed it back to on.
So anyway, I also flashed a radio via hboot and same thing.
Is there a certain radio I should be flashing?
When I go to settings I just get Unknown for the baseband version. Is this normal..? Should I have done something that maybe I missed?
let me know, right now I'm without a signal.. so no texts or phone calls.. pretty bad
Which version of CM7 are you on? If you are on RC1.3 then you need an MR2 radio. I'd suggest the radio from the OTA located HERE.
Yes the latest RC1.3
Okay thanks I will try this out, things are REALLY jumbled here.. I've checked out like 4 different radio threads.
Will let you know if it works

Yeah now that you are on this radio you can flash the vast majority of ROMs and ALL GB ROMs for the TBolt without changing the radio.
Also pay no attention to the idiot cussing you out for asking a question in the CM7 thread.
Thanks man, works great.
No problem! Glad you got it up and running!!
Is there any advantage to putting the MR2 radio above on a stock rooted TB?

I would use it solely because that's the radio that VzW tested and I would think it works best hence why they released it.
