Charge modems - Verizon Droid Charge

Having come from the fascinate, there were different modems and some worked better that others. Was just wondering if the charge had different modems (4g/3g) and which ones performed better (connectivity, speed etc)

Personally I think that the current ones are the best, but then again I never really had issues with any of them like we had with one of the Fassy's we have.
That being said, others have said that they have seen improvement with this or that depending on where they are I guess.
I do not know of a list for the Charge Radios and that will make it somewhat difficult to find them all. The best bet if you are looking to switch up is to search for Radios and go through the threads....
Or stick with the newest...

Froyo: ED1 (Shipped with), ED2, EE4 (OTA)
GB: EP1F, EP1H, EP1Q, EP1W, EP3HA, EP4P, EP4D (OTA)
those should be most if not all leaked and OTA radios, all radio packages contain both CDMA (3G) and LTE (4G) parts so there is no mix and match... personally the newer GB ones work better for me, but you'd have to try all of them as different phones work differently
blazing through on my 4G Droid Charge

I have tried EE4, EP1W, EP3HA, EP4P, EP4D and found the latest (OTA) EP4D to be the best for me

Latest Leaked Radio Version

What is the latest Leaked radio version for the TB. I see MR2.5, MR2.75 and MR3 but I cant get any version info or download links. Can someone point me in the right direction, and which has been good for most people?
Goto section VI of the Rom and kernel listing that is a stckie in the development section of this site. Click the link for Adryn's obligatory radio thread listed there.
I ran the MR2 radio with no issues whatsoever, and recently updated to the leaked alpha GB radio (.704). IMO, radio selection is trial and error - for example I had bad performance from the MR2.5 radio where others didn't.
Be sure to use a radio recommended on the OP of the ROM you stein running. All will list the radio there as well.

because of the intermediate leaked versions which were thought to be the official MR2, and such, but ultimately were not.. I'm confused when people are calling the different radios by MR2, MR2.5, mr2.75, etc...
I really wish people would just call out the Radio code version, rather than anything else.
Some threads which may or may not be helpful, since their OP's haven't been updated since MAY -> [RADIO] The Obligatory Thunderbolt Radio Thread and -> [RUU] All known Mecha RUUs & OTAs (signed only) 5/16/2011
From "official ROM" stand point, I know the following...
ROM 1.12.605.6 with Radio_1.16.00.0223r Was the shipping version.
ROM 1.13.605.7 with Radio_1.16.00.0402w was the MR1 pushed by Verizon OTA
ROM 1.70.605.0 with Radio 1.39.00.0627r, 0.01.69.0625r was the MR2 pushed by VZW OTA on July 8. ("ROM" and Radio link -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160374 )
Chingy51o has acquired a newer GB ROM leak which also included radio "1.46.00.0704w_2, 0.01.76.0703_2r". The entire ROM/Radio hasn't been shared yet... BUT This radio has been stripped out and posted over on themikmik.com. It is the newest leaked radio I've seen to date. (you'll have to visit themikmik.com to get it... its in the Thunderbolt -> Development -> General -> Official section)... And the ROM part serves as the base for Gingeritis v1.2.

That's exactly the combo I was trying to run and it would only boot a quarter of the time. Is there something I should be doing first? Reflashing the ROM when I flash the radio? Wouldn't think I should have to.
I've ran the leaked radio a few times, and each time my wifi acts weird. I would have wifi connected, then randomly it would disconnect and say my home wifi is out of range, even though I'm sitting at home with my computer connected to my wifi.
No problems on the OTA radio, so that's what I'm sticking with. Just sharing my experience.
No, just sounds like you had a corrupted file. Try and dl everything again and try it again. On the 3d beta 2 version I was using the mr2 radio first for a week or so then flashed the new radio. So when I went to the new 3d build, beta 6, I already had the new radio

I had the same issue on first boot with gingeritis 3d VI. Actually bootlooped on me. Pulled the battery and it booted just fine after that. Was on the original Mr2 radio at the time. Since updated to his new leak. Been the best Rom I've run on my bolt so far.

If you read the directions he tells you this is likely to happen and tells you to hold the volume buttons and press power to reboot and then everything works.fine, and it never does it again. It happens to me with every version upgrade, don't know why, but after the reboot it never happens again and everything works fine. ****s rock solid for me, hella fast, super batt life.

Been running the .704 leaked radio with ging3r3dth3ory and its been great.
Ive tried all these leaked radio's and they are garbage in Connecticut. OTA MR2 has my SpeedTeasts at 10-15 MBs down and 5 MBs up. The leaked crap only gives me 0.3 MBs up or down. Especially that last one i tried 1.46.00.0704w_2.

[MODEM][ODIN][CWM] KH1 Modem Leak

This is NOT a full ROM, only the modem. It will not mess with your current ROM/data.
Here is the KH1 modem from Krylon's ROM leak. It is available in Odin and CWM flashable packages depending on your preference. Attached to this thread is Odin version 1.85, to my knowledge the latest version (at least the version I use).
I am not responsible if you brick/break/blow up your phone.
Odin Package: Here
CWM Package: Here
If you are unsure how to use Odin to flash the modem see this thread. If you are unsure how to use CWM to flash the modem, then please stop now and go watch some T.V., leave your phone alone.
Thanks for CWM version. Updated my Dr honk powered Kg4 rom with this modem.
So does this modem help with the weak wifi signal on KG4?
were is the modem at?
were is the link for the modem so i can test it out.
I just flashed the CWM version on Audiophile Bump in the trunk with no problems.
KB5 Has worked the best for me in Boston. I'm going to give this a good checking out.
Thank you for this.
Just Odin`d and... instant results. Thanks guys!!!

You can check what modem you have installed by going to settings > about phone and looking at baseband version. Should say "KH1" toward the end if you just flashed the KH1 ROM.
Says KH1, All is well.
I flashed the CWM version yesterday.
I'm running Audiophile Bump in the Trunk.
A couple hours ago I went into our market app to browse and while there the MARKET automatically updated on my phone.
I believe it recognized my phone as a gingerbread phone because I ended up with a high definition (tv like) market app with a new icon. It looked and functioned GREAT...I want it!
But my phone got laggy and just a little buggy. My quadrant went from mid 1600's to mid 900's so I just uninstalled the updates and my phone is behaving normally. It has the mid 1600 quadrant again.
However now gmail tries to update and I'm getting "Package file was not singed correctly"
I have my froyo gmail and all is well. I'm not sure if the update is for gingerbread and I'm on froyo so it won't update or if I'm not receiving a froyo update.
Has this happened to anyone?
My market upgraded itself too. I'm using kg6+ kh1 modem and kg4 kernel.. Not sure about lag or scores..

I got this KH1 modem on my Samsung Infuse 4G and the battery life just amazing. I think I also posted it on samsung infuse 4G section. Once I fully charged the phone after 4 hours it still have 100%.
My friend has the HTC Sensation 4G, do you know if this KH1 will work on HTC phones? He has bad battery life also.

Highly doubt it would work on any brand of phone that isn't Samsung, would probably cause all kinds of problems. Wouldn't advise you try it.

Looking for best Rom, Kernel and whatever. Priority Audio quality and stability

Hi,
Please don't burn me about a new post I've done a lot of phone research to get to the Infuse. The options for an "android development newb" are many. And not sure what a kernel and Rom is...Rom is the operating system right?
Basically looking for a stable/best operating system with priority in audio quality for headphones.
Ive read abit about the Voodoo for the wolfson chip in the Infuse. Read about a leaked version of Android 2.3.5 available but it may have some 'rainbow' effect?..
Basically trying to find the best rom, kernel and whatever, their are so many.
Thanks.
EDIT: Looking to use 'Voodoo control plus' app and 'Voodoo Screen Tuning' app so need compatible rom & kernel.
It really is going to be personal preference all the roms I have tried are pretty damn stable I have seen people really liking caty rom though prob try that first
Other popular one I used to see in google searches was MIUI, infused might be good, is it closer to stock ROM? Stock roms are probably safer ie not losing BT?

"ROM" in the download title indicates it's stock (from Samsung or AT&T) & the one that says ie "Stock UCKJ4 [Rooted, Deodexed, Busybox] [2.3.6]" is the stock rom with things done to it like rooted??
Is video fine on KL2?

Video only works with that rom if you have the correct kernel I do believe.
I would suggest going here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021 and downloading the one with 3e recovery. That enables access to modifications such as voodoo control, while maintaining a stable stock environment. The simplest voodoo kernel you can use is the voodoo community kernel, which can be found in the infuse super thread under the android development section of this forum.
Hope this helps!
I am also new to the Infuse. I had the AT&T Captivate that I was able to flash to Rogers 2.2 and it was great. Rogers allows more control of the phone and was very stable. I then got greedy and tried to flash a Rogers GB rom and bricked my phone. I read that the Infused rom is based on Rogers but it seems to have some bugs.

No bugs in Infused. The Rogers firmware doesn't have HDMI support, because the Rogers phone doesn't have HDMI out. Other than that, Infused is the best stock ROM for this phone. Once AT&T releases GB, we'll probably get another update, but there's no bugs. If you flashed an Infuse ROM on a Captivate, well... there's your problem. I can't tell from your post if that's what happened or not.

I disagree that the infused is the best ROM. Its a good ROM, but IMO CatyRom or Numas, are better. I ran infused for a long time as well as a lot of Ports. The Ports are fun, lots of customization and bells and whistles, but the 2 I mention as well as the infused are the best for what you're looking for I think.
Infused is outdated though.
I prefer these because they are native to infuse.
I suggest
1) CatyRom
2) Numas
3) Infused v2.3.3
The ICS version of Caty has a MIUI music player that is awesome. Also there is a free app called audio FX that I use for an eq and its great.

Might try Catyrom, but probably will one of the latest leaks "ROM I997UCKL2 [2.3.6]" or "UCKL2[Rooted, Deodexed, Busybox, and CRT off]" I'm led to believe theyr both stock.
If I go with first UCKL2 I will need to root it to run the voodoo apps. If I root it will I lose video and HDMI? If so how do you fix it? Would I be better to go with the latter UCKL2 (already rooted)?
Note I may be upgrading from froyo (I havent got the phone yet).
Also not sure on the flashing procedure, I found this; any good or bit outdated? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318160

DesignGears' ICS include 2.3.6 goodness?

I'm still on (rooted) Stock 2.3.5. Even the the last round of 2.3.6 failed to install, so I never got any of the new 2.3.6 goodness I heard some describing -- new modem, drivers, etc. for better connectivity and longer battery.
Does the ICS leak brought to us by DesignGears include all of that extra goodness I was supposed to be getting in 2.3.6?
You will get a new modem, new firmware, new OS that will be better than 2.3.6. ICS 4.0 and GB 2.3.6, comparing the two, are like comparing apples and oranges.
That's what I was hoping.
When 2.3.6 made the rounds I read some stuff got skipped if you just flashed the ROM (i.e. the newer modem?)
I guess this leak is more than *just* the 4.0 ROM then.

You can't find it because KD5 doesn't exist haha. It's either KB5 or KD1
