I'd say ki3 but thats for where I live. I'd always flash it right after flashing a new rom.

KJ6 but it's crap. Don't say you weren't warned.

KG4 is more stable than the other ones I've tried. I haven't had issues with GPS or sending long SMS messages. You can go ahead and test others, but like I said, I've had the best performance with KG4

I'm using sidekick kd1.

I use kj6 with no problems. And I've never had the SMS problem so many reported.

The reason why I asked is beacause I flashed the sidekick modem and it drains battery more... so I'm looking for a stock modem that will sleep when the phone is not in use.. why are there so many modems... kd1 and all the way up to kj6? Are all of them stock modems for our phone? Are they just updates of each other?... just wanted to know more.
Thanx again guys

There is a modem for each ROM version (leak or official release). So when VUVKD1 was released, the modem with it had the same last three character designation. People have reported that they receive better performance in their area using certain modems over the others - it's a trial and error thing to see which is best for you.
I know when KJ6 came out a lot of people reported issues with sending long SMS messages. As FB said, he reverted to KG4 and it works better for him. Try 'em all & see which works best for you in your area.

Thanx for the info.. I will.. I just really want the one that drains battery less

stock rom

since none of the developers i have talked to have these files, i would like to know if someone has the odin STOCK rom .tar and .pit files that aren't on multiupload... i want to go back to stock since the rom i am using is horrible and no one is making any new ones.. thanks

Well stock sucks I have them at home but it will be a while before I get there. Have you tried my rom? Ill be releasing a very stable release soon. Maybe its the one you think sucks who know. But ill upload the odin files later today.

the one that i have now is not yours. i just downloaded yours. the rage 3.0.2 which i am going to try now. are there any issues with it?

You have to set the apn manually and its missing a lot of unessisary apps maybe hold off until the release of 3.0.3 but its up to you. What have been the issues with the rom you are using? Either way ill upload the odin stuff and a more stable release of rage tonight hopefully

this rom is smooth. the only thing i have noticed is that there is no touch screen keyboard. i tried to download one and it installed but i still cant open it to use it. i actually have to use my keyboard which i can't use because of fat fingers.

Go into locale and text and make sure the one you downloaded is enabled.

thanks d3xtro

for future reference, if you should need to restore your phone or something, the tar files have been re-uploaded here:

VZWALG7 vs VZWALHD

Okay guys, I have been searching for a comparison between these 2 stock Roms and can't find anything. I have read that the leak is better, but would like to know if anyone has ran both stock and rooted on their phone? If so, what are the differences? I am running the radio and can't tell much of a difference, if any.
If there is a dev that would care to weigh in with any technical differences, that would be great!

It supposed to help with signal reception on the Galaxy S III and may provide better voice quality. No new features!

Is there anything in the firmware that is different or is it basically a radio? I would assume firmware fixes as well, would just like to clarify from someone that knows and is not assuming like me.

I've ran both and have not really noticed a difference speed wise. I did notice that my GPS is fixed from the G7 radio. G7 I couldn't connect on the brightest, cloud free day standing on top of a hill. Now it finds me instantly (again). The only other thing I did notice ( and this may have been fixed in the G7 build is when you are looking at your phone and you hit favorites, it doesn't swap the favorites and contacts tabs like it used too. Other than that, phone quality seems the same.

Okay, here is what I did. I don't have access to a PC so I downloaded the Odin image of the HD build and flashed it via Mobile Odin. I wiped the caches and everything appeared to be okay. I started restoring everything and then gaps started force closing, then the message app started force closing. I figured wipe caches again and reboot. Same problem. Wiped again and fixed permissions, gaps seemed to be okay for the short time that I ran it but messaging still wouldn't work. Tried again, still no luck. Tried restoring with Titanium, installation failed so I uninstalled, but it wouldn't reinstall the app. I had to revert to a nandroid to get everything back running properly.
I have not had very good luck with Mobile Odin Pro. It could very well be user error, but I have yet to get it to work properly. Also, in addition to the force closes, I could not get a very good signal. I thought this is strange because I am on build 7 running the HD radio and it appears to give me the best signal that I have had so far with this phone.

ran 5 tests on this and last radio. Average was PRECISELY same. I also literally did not move the phone an inch.

Will flashing the new modem in odin trip the counter??? Im still on stock and thinking about flashing the HD radio.

I didn't notice any speed difference but I did notice on HD that I get lte in low reception spots where it would go to 3g so it's great for me.

I'm new to the Verizon side of the sgs3 but should I be getting this HD update ota? Been checking for update on about phone for past 3 days and says I'm up to date so it makes me wonder...

The HD is a leak. You will not get it ota. If you want to try it, you will have to flash it.

To get the VRLHD modem head on over to this page.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-of...zon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/
It also contains all the modems available for the phone. There is Odin and CWM flashable formats available.
Flashing via Odin should not trip the flash counter. I really don't know what trips the counter. Mine says 4 but I've done a ton of flashing in the last week.
Just buy a $8 USB JIG to reset the counter or try Triangle Away.

I'm not a dev, only an enthusiast.
I should point out. The HD update is not a ROM is only a modem upgrade.
@OP,
if you did your TB restore settings under all apps and system data that could be why you're having a buggy device. It's best to only restore Apps + data..and not System data with it after an upgrade like this.
As far as performance of the leaked modem goes,I have not noticed any real difference since coming from the G7 Modem. But still it's always good to have the latest..and supposedly..greatest..
Also when using Mobile Odin pro, it's a good idea to acquire the TAR files instead of the ZIP files to do the flashing. Just saying...lol..

Yeah, I knew not to batch restore. I individually restored the apps without the data to attempt to try and avoid any problems with that. Nothing much to restore data wise anyway, I hardly ever play games. My contacts are the biggest deal. I am currently running G7 base with HD modem and it seems very responsive and stable so far. If I don't see any reports of big gains from the HD base, I intend to stay put for awhile.

[Q] XBSAVX3D - No connection with wifi

I am on xbsalls XBSAVX3D custom rom and when i try and use wifi everything connects properly, but when i try and use it at all it says its not connected at all, ive had this problem with the 28b rom too, im fine with stock rom though. Any help is appreciated

I'm on XBSAVX3D as well but my wifi is working fine as I'm answering you right now with it I did have an issue earlier that I was watching youtube on data and then connected to wifi later...said no network connection. No idea why but a simple reboot fixed for me. Hope it helped. Also I'm running a different kernel with unlocked bootloaders instead of the stock kernel that came with the rom. No idea if that makes any difference or not.

Lol i dont have data so wifi is my only option haha and rebooting doesnt help and im using unlocked bootloaders and ive tried iodaks kernel and Pesach85s kernel each with the same result

Sorry my bad I totally got backwards on that. If you are in the US like me, did you alter the build.prop target country from EU to US and flash the V30B baseband followed by a factory reset? If so have you tried to flash V28B baseband instead? If those options don't work my friend I'm clueless.

Just curious did you flash a stock T989 ROM onto your skyrocket? any issues? did you use odin?
Also LTE should work with any of the skyrocket modems by default as long as the APNs are correct. There are threads and info on this in the skyrocket forums.

Yeah I flashed a few stock roms on it without Odin, using twrp and infamous wipe/superwipe and without infamous. Although when I did it without the infamous zips about 20% of the time on reboot it would hang on start up which was fine I just reboot and it was good to go. Noticed it hasn't done it since I reflashed with infamous though.
Lte did work just no hspa which is all I get in my town. So I put the stock uvmc6 radio in since 4g sits around 2-7mbs over here and that's more than enough. Heard you can get 2g,4g,lte with some blaze radio's but never cared to try. Only glitch I'd can't find a fix on JB for the screen rotation. It's all wacked out.

Oh most defiantly. There sister phones. But I've tried flashing I'd say about 4 or 5 different ones and no dice. I put an ics stock Rom and flashed a fix, worked fine. my brother which who I gave it to would rather live with vertical movies and sideways camera on JB than go with ics. Haha but if you know of one that works on Jb can you share the link?
