I am not responsible if you brick your phone.
This is ONLY the modem, not a full ROM.
I take no credit for this, I only extracted the modem.bin from the KI3 ROM leak.
Here is the new KI3 modem in Odin and CWM flashable form. Simply flash with Odin, or use the CWM recovery image. Enjoy!

EDIT
For those wondering I was able to flash this with both Odin and CWM with EXT4 enabled on all partitions, if it even matters I have no clue.

Oops wrong thread!
-Sent From My Amazing Galaxy S 4G-
this is the one everyone's using on KJ6 to bypass the plaguing 'message not sent' garbage yes?
if so, can I have a quick set of instructions on how to flash it please (like there should be in the OP)
I've got root on stock 236, I've installed/set up CWM (recovery in bin folder, zip on SD) and I've got root explorer installed..
I'm also aware of this flash tutorial, but being an Android beginner, I'm unsure if that's what we need to do for modem only..
so insight and instructions would certainly be appreciated
Not going to flame as it hinders things and I just read a very long angry post from bh about how annoying the community has gotten lol.
Its not the OPs responsibility to provide full flash instructions for roms. But if you have CWM already its really easy.
Select zip to install click the modem zip file, clear the cache and wa la.
Now if you don't have CWM just put the modem file in the modem section in ODIN and make sure the bootloaders box is unchecked and you're good.
Flashing a modem is not much different than flashing any Rom (except for the lower chances of things going wrong hehe)
Now what I will say asking this question here instead of just using the search or google only wastes your own time as well as other peoples time
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
search and google? LOL ..yeah, I've done that, and I get 2 dozen variations on how to flash - in one tutorial they say to use Odin (but they don't tell you how to use it urhr), in another tutorial, there's no mention of Odin what-so-ever - in yet another tutorial, links point to the Froyo only CWM - and in yet another, there's links pointing to the GB CWM.. and in another there's no mention of using any CWM at all so...
not to be cynical, but I've seen a lot of amagad whining about noobs and android beginners.. but if someone would actually put together a point blank step by step tutorial(s) without being so arrogant as to 'keep it in the community' by being ambiguous with their answers and/or excluding certain crucial or needed instructions in their tutorials, there wouldn't be an excess of noobs asking the 'wrong questions'
you'll always get a few knuckleheads, stupidity's inevitable.. but for the most part, dumb questions would be minimal and posted 'thank you's maximized because the available instructions are clear, informative and concise ..so in more ways than one, kats are bringn it on themselves by being vague and/or self-centered enough to completely skip over certain steps because 'myself and everyone here already knows that -or- there's already a tutorial on that little crucial part somewhere else on the web urhr'
I'm not trying to be an assO here.. but damn people, isn't this just common freakn sense? lol
but thanks for the Re Hampster, after 7 hours and cross-referencing 8 different tutorials, I got it flashed and working

Just make sure you skip the parts about flashing a new rom.
Grab the CWM file he posted and put it on your SD card. Remember where you saved it.
I assume you already know how to flash using CWM since you have your phone rooted?
If you don't, go in the market and grab Quick Boot
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.siriusapplications.quickboot
Once you got it installed open it and tap Recovery. Allow with SuperUser.
Once you're in CWM (red lettered text) select Install zip from sd card using the volume keys and confirm using power.
Select choose zip from sd card
Find the zip file for the KI3 modem. Select it and select Yes - Install ki3modem.zip or whatever it's called.
Your screen will flash blue/white text and might go blank for a moment. After this you can reboot. You can verify that you have the KI3 modem by going into Settings > About phone and checking the modem version under Baseband version.

I downloaded that file, but couldn't figure out what to do afterwards. I watched the mobile tech videos and it seemed that he was able to just click on the file and open the odin, while when I try to open it says "can't find application to open" after I extract it.

Open it first and then point it to your rom image that you would like to use, you don't extract the file you have, it's ready to use as downloaded.
Please watch the videos again because you don't understand it yet and you're well on your way to a solid brick.
BTW using CWM with a .zip is easier then Odin IMHO, and can be done completely from your phone, no computer needed, it will also let you know if you have the three button recovery ( very important if something goes wrong ).
Read, read and read some more. Flashing a rom is not hard but it does have to be done correctly. If you want an almost guaranteed result you'll do the homework and learn something.

Thanks for the information, it looks like I got lots of work to do.. The link you sent me has a broken Odin link on the other side, do you have a mirror or some sort so I can get the file? Also my final question is that since I have a Rogers Captivate I need to JL1 file not a J16 right? I've looked everywhere but couldn't find an answer to this... Thank you.

do you want to install a custom rom?? like phoenix or cog? if you are already rooted, just install clockwork mod and flash it to phone... then reboot into recovery and choose install zip from sd card... then select 'choose zip from sdcard'. then find the zip of the rom you want to install. I'm a rogers user and I've flashed all the latest roms (currently using andromeda 2.0). Never needed odin.
oh I see thanks, I've tried flashing Cognition via ROM manager with no success. I had Cognition on my SD card, installed and flashed the Clockwork mod and then selected "install ROM from SD card". From their it makes me select my ROM and then after I do it takes me to recovery mode. From here I select Reinstall packages and it says something like "Can't verify file" in red writing and aborts installation. I've always thought that maybe since I skip the whole "flashing ODIN" step that's why it's not working but obviously that's not the case. Do you know why it's not working for me? Thanks for the help.
are you running rogers 2.2 update? it has 3e recovery and will not allow zips to be flashed.
if that's the case, you will need odin3 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821625
then put a new kernel in the PDA section. I used the tar file listed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870760
then with your phone powered off, sim card and memory cards out (put back cover on so the battery doesn't fall out) hold 2 volume buttons and plug in usb... should go to download mode. then hit start.
boot up will take a bit while voodoo formats ext4 on your files. after that, you can go into recovery mode and flash zips from sd card

I see Kaik541 has a thread in Dev section for an ODIN version of KF1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14782572&postcount=1
This is for those who want to flash and root from using the tar files.
I personally always remove my external memory and sim card before using odin. It is not needed as people will obviously post and neither is doing master clear. I do these steps just to make sure I eliminate any possible issues that can occur during flashing.
1) Download Firmware from http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-samsungusa.htm
2) Flash back to stock JF6 w/ odin one-click and did a master clear.
3) Flash Gingerbread KF1 using Odin (see image attached)
4) Flash fugu kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1010141 (I attached the zImage-root.tar to post if link does not work)
In the first post look for and select the download link in step 2: (credit to nikademus)
How to use:
1: Flash the stock rom
2: Download the image for Heimdall or for Odin
3: Flash it with either Odin or Heimdall
4: Boot once, it will install root and crash/shutdown (it is preferred to let the phone connected to usb so it does not loop boot)
5: Reflash the original kernel
5) Flash stock kernel (attached kernelKF1.7z) credit to lownox for helping me on that
6) Settings>Applications> enable Unknown Sources (AT&T finally got something right)
7) Install busybox from market
8) ENJOY!

The next in the series of Odin flashable files, here's drhonk's Bali kernel for the SGS4G in an Odin flashable format! No more having to mess with pushing a custom recovery file to /system, as long as you have a Windows PC with Odin on it you'll be good to go.
FEATURES
Roots your phone
Installs ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM/CWR)
The UV kernel gives you more freedom for overclock settings.
NOTES
This is for FROYO ONLY versions 2.2.x only, NOT 2.3.x
Comes in 2 flavors, UV which is undervolted, and regular.
Please read drhonk's original thread for features and usage.
INSTRUCTIONS
1) Download the file to your Windows PC
2) Extract the 7-Zip file using a compatible program, such as 7-Zip
3) Load up the file in Odin, putting it in the PDA section
4) Flash
5) Success!
ODIN
Learn how to flash files with Odin using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1001759

Sorry for the noob questions, I'm used to a vibrant so this is all different to me. Just to be clear about what this does....basically it just roots the phone and adds cwm, but does not change anything about the phone other than that or wipe settings/ data?
I'm using a mac that I have parallels with xp on. Would this work that way? I had trouble trying to root before on parallels with superoneclick...the file just wouldn't run. Also, i'm assuming the phone needs to be in download mode for this to work?
Thanks.
You will not lose data. Yes, it gives you root and cwm. Yes, you have to be in download mode.
Are you dual booting or running vmware?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
i'm not exactly sure, i'm running parallels within osx so I think that would qualify as a virtual machine...I don't know what you mean by dual booting
Well, i've tried it in parallels and no luck. Odin opens fine and loads up the tar file. However it never recognizes the phone. I have the correct samsung drivers installed and windows recognizes that the phone is plugged in, it just doesn't make it into odin. It seems that there is just no way for me to root this phone with a mac, and unfortunately i don't know anybody with a pc. Oh how I wish somebody could make an app for the market that would root just like the vibrant...... it was sooo easy with that phone.....oh well
Well this isn't a vibrant, so I will end that argument there.

yes, I am in download mode, it just doesn't show up. I've heard that odin can be picky about usb issues, so perhaps there are too many factors at play between the mac and windows interface for it.....I don't know. And, I'm definitely not trying to start a vibrant vs 4g argument, i understand that they are very different. I'm just frustrated that i'm having such a hard time rooting this phone.
I've never tried heimdall, is it a vm as well....similar to parallells?
Thanks for taking time to read this and give advice btw....it really is appreciated regardless of whether I get this working or not.
Heimdall is a flashing program for windows/mac/linux. The author of it reverse engineered Odin's file transfer protocol and made that program available for free.
Alright, after taking a look at the vibrant forums, i noticed that they have CWM3 flashable modems, so it must be possible.
I extracted the tar file of an EC05 Modem and of course, all that's inside is the .bin file. I extracted a modem from the vibrant's 'old' cwm3 flashable files. I also found a batch operation that makes update zip files flashable via cwm3. with some guesswork and a little luck, I created two EC05 Modems, the first is my attempt, and the second is with a few extra files that i think are responsible for modems installing via cwm exclusively. Anyway, I'll keep you guys posted on my success. (hopefully not brick) If all goes well, I want to create CWM Flashables of all of our modems. wish me luck.
Edit: No dice with the ones I made.. Still looking for a way.
This would make it a lot easier to switch modems. Hopefully you can figure it out and not brick your phone! Thanks.

The thoughts were to actually flash a modem you needed source. When EC05 first came out some ROMs would update your modem from DK28 or EB13. This why all the leaked ROMs had to be Odin'd. It would be awesome if you found a method that worked on the Epic for those who can't get their phone to connect on the computer.

I found a cwm deodexed eg22 zip on my desktop. Its setup slightly different from Deca's deodex cwm or other cwm roms I've seen. Its very blunt and straightforward with eg22 modem bin in it. I thought if there was a way to eliminate factoryfs with the flash still going through, it'd be around 30mb cwm flash, however I do not kno what is dispensable in the files. I'm thinking dummy files or somehow omitting most of the flash except the modem?
You should be able to delete all but the modem and the flash script right? Did not know there was any ROM that successfully flashed a GB modem.

They wrote the software that applies the delta, as well as the software that generates the delta... It's their proprietary format, do they have all of the specs because they created them...
Edit: to be accurate, I can't say they wrote every piece of the delta system (I don't know everything, trying not to come across like I think I do, lol). But they have components we don't, that they haven't shown an interest in releasing

Hi!
This is my first post. Hope I'm following the rules....
OK..I'm Canadian and have a phone from Rogers, It is the SGH-i727R. I suppose the R is for Rogers. I'm sick of waiting for an ICS upgrade so I wanna try A DIY Rom install. Can I use all the software/firmware from the non-R version for my Rogers-R version phone?
Thanks all
Stew
Only the cwm flashable ones. Odin tar won't work.

since this is your first post, welcome! xda is a great place, and the skyrocket sub forum is full of a fun loving knowledgeable bunch.
In the future, try to search around first to see if you can find a solution. If not, post your question and what you HAVE found out, as senior members will be more inclined to help u.
Only difference between our phones and the at&t version, is as u said, the "r". Once u have cwm installed, u are more than welcome to flash any rom in the development section. As previously stated however, the one click Odin leaks for design gears have some kind of firmware check, and won't work on our devices.
Also, when someone helps u, press their thanks button! :-D
Thanxs guys.
I'll spend some more time reading posts BUT It's quite confusing. For example...I find a post on flashing a rom and two pages in it's talking about ODIN when I've now learned that system isn't compatible for my phone. There must be dozens of posts, all different, about rooting my phone. I don't even know if I need to root before installing a custom rom!! But then it makes for some interesting reading.

The phone must be rooted before installing any custom rom
This is the method I used to root my phone http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...-anything-try-doomlords-easy-rooting-toolkit/
This thread is very helpful too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1383464

It doesn't need rooted to flash roms. It just requires CWM, the custom recovery. Then you can flash a custom rom, since they are already rooted for you

Odin works fine for Rogers phones. Things such as flashing back stock tars and recoveries work fine. What doesn't work is the ONECLICK odin's from the ICS leak designed for the regular i727. This is because it checks the model # and because we have an (r) at the end it wont work. There are plenty of great roms to flash. Just use odin to flash CWM and then install any rom you want.
almost
Well I got the sgh-I727r rooted. Installed Rom Manager,just to get CWM installed. 2 questions..If I back up the original ROM then do a "wipe" will I loose the B/U file. I don't have an removable SD card. I might be mistaken but in CWM restore, I didn't find an option to restore from internal SD only External? Did I miss something?
Stew
Thanks in advance

It will not wipe internal sd(emmc). It will only do that if you format emmc.
Just don't wipe the internal SD card and you should be fine
i'm new at this too and i have the R version but so far I haven't noticed any problems. except ODIN restoring to AT&T stock... which I doubt why you would do that lol

OK so where do I find odin and CWM files? I've only found CWM as part of rom manager?
Edit:
OK I found Odin3 and have it on my PC. Just looking for CWM.. BTW I found a thread on Canadian specific phones ad read their "how to" on flashing roms and they basically omitted the CWM part and instead loaded the ROM file into odin and flashed it that way!!?? What gives?

CWM touch
Anyone know if there's a built in Rom backerupper in the latest CWMtouch version?

Sounds like you have the cord plugged in. Don't.
Hold volume up, down and power. Release power when Samsung logo appears but stay holding volume buttons until cwm pops up
