Thx Mate!!!

great job m8, keep up the good work

The good work :good:
Thank you txr33 share.

At the risk of invoking the XDA idiot seeking missiles - are all of these modems "safe" to try on any network?
I'm on T Mobile UK, and suffering horrendous connectivity problems when I am at work. Eager to try out a few modems to see if I can lock onto a better signal, but I'm sure I read something once saying that T Mobile require specific modems because of something particular to their network?

Brilliant mate.
Which is the UK EE model?

Thx, greate work, now I can use the modem that I want.

Thanks so much! Can someone recommend the best modem for Optus Australia please ?
Sent from my GT-I9305 using xda premium

is it a good or bad idea for me to flash one of these modems?
I have the GT-I9305N (LTE 900/1800/2600)
my current modem is I9305NXXALI8
edit: I flashed and it seems to work ok
edit2: 4G and 3G broke, only have "E" now and a ****ty 0.05Mbps...

New Modem XXALI7
New modem for you all extracted from T-Mobile Germany:

txr33 can you add it to your first post?
Greets

I did some testing and found the best modem for my phone. Thanks again OP

great!
thx txr33. good chance to test several modems for me.
maybe a short overview could be useful. just to see which modem offers best connectivity in which countries.

I tested all modems for about two and a half hour and did some measurement.
I'm living in Germany, Baden Württemberg and for me the two ...ALK2 work best.
XXALK2 has a slightly better reception, but AEALK2 is better at WLAN conncectivity (faster) and finding internet connection at poor reception.
Interestingly the original firmware (T-Mobile) is the worst from all the listed ones, by far!
The internet speed in all networks (3G, H+...) is half (!) as fast compared to the ...ALK2 ones
I attached the exel chart I did for the test. It's German, but I hope you'll get what it means, otherwise I'll translate it.

Hi all,
This may help a few French users, and maybe others too. I quickly made a CWM flashable zip by using one of the files available on this thread (many thanks to all the devs for the great job by the way !) and replacing the modem inside by the one contained in the French SFR I9305XXALK5 ROM file (jellybean 4.1.1).
I noticed that this modem is giving me by far the best data connexion when used along with custom ROMs. As some German users mentionned earlier, I noticed that when I use custom ROMs (Ripper or Supreme) I can not benefit from Dual Carrier (or 4G) anymore. My data connexion is then restricted to 3G or HSPDA.
By flashing this file, I managed to at least connect in HSPDA+. But still no dual carrier, unfortunately . As I am a very basic user, I can not investigate the reason why I lose 4G when I flash a custom ROM (4G works nicely when I use SFR provider stock ROM).
If you want to give it a try, the file is available HERE.
I would be glad to read if some people are experiencing the same problems.

ok, flashing your GT-I9305 modems on a GT-I9305N was a bad idea, it broke my 4G and more or mess my 3G too
I only had "E" (Edge?) on AEALK2 and I had 0.05Mbit
with XXALK2 I messured ~2Mbit and I had 3G and H+ for a short while.
I found a source of my original firmware and extracted the modem and made it to a flashable cwm zip
(first time I did this and I did it the easy way, editing an existing .zip downloaded from first post, so my .zip will have the "Ripper" message while flashing)
tested ok by me.

Hi
That's a pity, sorry for this problem. The modem I took from the French provider SFR is I9305AEALK2. I just discussed with a member on a French forum, and he thinks that this version is optimized for SFR network. But the fact that your phone is a "N" version can also explain the differences. I do not know what is the difference between N and non-N versions.
I think I will try your modem, in order to see if I can get a better connexion. With my file I get something like 10 Mbps on speedtest when connected on HSPDA+.

I think N is for Nordic. Im fr sweden & got the N version...

[Q] Mobile Data doesn't work.

Hi! I have really mysterious problem with my Moto G. I have Global GSM (because I live in Europe) , 16GB model purchased in US. Of course I'm running stock US ROM (4.4.2). Yesterday I purchased mobile data bundle from T-Mobile, then enabled it and everything was working fine for ~20 minutes. After that mobile data icon disappeared. Now every time when I try to enable mobile data icon does not appear and for example Chrome shows me that I'm offline. Is that because I'm running US ROM in Europe? Also if this is important I have little homescreen lag with stock launcher on US ROM but my friend with UK works really smooth. If so can i flash my US model to UK ROM without problems? Sorry for such dumb questions but I'm new to Android (I was running iOS before). I was searching whole Moto G forum but didn't find any familiar problem. Is there any reason or I need to flash/wipe?

I have a similar or maybe the same problem.
My mobile data drops every now and then. Most of the times it happens when I leave home in the morning. Somehow the switch from wifi at home to the mobile data does not happen and I am offline.
I did not find a solution yet other then rebooting the phone which brings back connectivity.
I found some threads in the internet where Kitkat users with different phones face similar issues, but no solution yet.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=63524
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/saOjkcCsPSo
I believe this must be a KitKat SW issue.
Or, maybe it is a Moto G issue, because I also ordered the international model in the US and use it in Malaysia, similar to what you did. Still I tend towards a SW issue in KitKat.
I will monitor this problem and post as soon as I have a solution.

The problem is you didn't just flash the US 4.4.2 ROM, you also flashed the US MODEM firmware which is included in the Stock Firmware Images. I was having something similar happen on a UK handset with US ROM / MODEM firmware. Flashing the UK 4.4.2 Firmware Image here solved it. I suggest you don't flash another region's Modem firmware.
FYI: Custom ROMs don't normally change the Modem firmware.

Just for my understanding:
In the US there are two versions to purchase, the "US" and the "International" version.
Since I live in Malaysia I ordered the "International" version, I suppose the thread starter did the same. Would this problem still affect us??

Since I doubt Motorola will do anything, you could experiment yourself. There is a Retail Asian Stock firmware image you could try flashing and see if things improve. Also there is now a 4.4.2 Stock Retail EU firmware image.

[Q] Stock Firmware for sm-n915w8

Ihave rogers galaxy note edge and does anyone know where to find the stock rom?!??!
I've been searching for 3 hours...

There isn't any yet.
Hopefully it will become available on Sammobile soon.

you can pull it yourself using Kies. I posted a tutorial on her in the question forum.

Look in tho these sites, as per the Tech Specs, the N915T and N915F are identical to our N915W8. Both stock version are available at Sammobile (915f and 915t )
http://www.mobosdata.com/samsung-gal...-edge-sm-n915f
http://www.mobosdata.com/samsung-gal...-edge-sm-n915t
http://www.mobosdata.com/samsung-gal...edge-sm-n915w8

I have the n915t (because I was not sure if Canada was actually going to get it) that runs perfectly on ROGERS LTE, Fido LTE, Bell (Telus) LTE,WIND (no LTE since they do not have it in Calgary), and T-mobile (since it's a T-mobile phone) (these are the SIMS it has successfully used).
I was trying to find out if it was similar to n915g and n915s (so at least you state (based on that mobosdata) that the n915t it is equivalent to the n915f and n915w8 in terms of hardware (does that also include the modem / radio?). I ask since I wanted to put the 915g Lollipop on it (I would have to change the sales code from TMB to XSA I think).
I tried your mobosdata links but they all come back 404 error.

Wrong LTE band

I have purchased the US LTE version Insted of the GLOBAL one(I need 1800MHz)
I try to flash to the European Lte version but I failed .

Please help me

I may have some bad news for you. ?
You can't change the modem bands on these tablets because the actual modem firmware on the chip prevents the other bands on the ROM from passing the security check. So the US bands will load regardless of the fact you have the global ROM loaded.
I'm in Australia, facing the same issue. I just flashed the US WiFi ROM so it cripples the modem stack and use my Nexus 5 to tether.

hi guys..
im from Malaysia and also have problem with this..
i bought it from local seller and its (US) AT&T model...so i cant use it with my local line..
any idea/method to get it work?

Thanks for your reply mate
Have u try the 3rd party services that available online? They will give an unlock code but im not sure if it'll work or not..
What a waste...

How much signal do you have? J700

Hi guys! Can you tell me how much signal do you have? I tried flashing three different modem.bin from Stock Roms trying to getting a better signal, because I have a bad signal, and I didn't have lucky.
My signal is: -99 dbm 41 asu (just 2 bars or one).
Do you have the same signal?
Im trying to guess if it's a software problem (Custom ROM, modem.bin etc), a Mobile Network Operator problem or a Hardware problem (something broken or idk).
Thanks!
PS: I have a Samsung J7 2015 (J700m)

The problem, I guess, is software. But not what you think - not the roms.
Backup your data - sms, contacts, messages etc, and full wipe and then flash the latest stock firmware via Odin.
This will give you the latest radio software. Maybe this will work better. :good:
On the Samsung site the latest J700M firmware is 700MUBU2BRxx depending on country. E.g. xx for Brazil is C2, for Mexico D1, Chile A1.
Download from updato.com your country specific firmware; link below.

Hi bro, thanks for the answer!
Alright, I'll try. Im downloading J700MUBU2BRA1 (Im from Argentina) and I'll flash it via ODIN. After that, I'll come back here to tell you if it works.
Just 2 more questions:
1) Im downloading the "ARO" Version. Its okay? My phone is Factory Unlock. I saw "Claro" and "Movistar" versions, and they are Mobile Network Operator, but I don't Know what its ARO or ANC.
2) After flashing the Stock Firmware, I can back to EnigmaUX or other custom rom right? Without losing the fix, assuming this helped me.
Thanks! Have a nice day :good:

ARO looks good. I think its the generic firmware for Argentina (as opposed to Carrier specific, with maybe customization, bloatware, locked apn etc)
2) After flashing the Stock Firmware, I can back to EnigmaUX or other custom rom right? Without losing the fix, assuming this helped me.
Yes. You'll have to reinstall TWRP first
Latest TWRP v3.2.3.0 is here Official TWRP page for J700 M/F/H exynos

Thanks for trying man! But this didn't work.
Not just after flashing a Custom Rom, even with Stock Firmaware I had bad signal, and now with Xperience OS Too. See attached screenshots :crying:

Hmmm ........
Maybe you're just in an area with a weak signal.
Have you ever seen a stronger LTE signal right there?
Try this to analyze the LTE signals around you.
Advanced LTE Discovery on Google Playstore
At least you have the latest Radio for your fon.

Maybe, as I thought, its a Hardware problem... because I have a tower near my house, less than 100 meters (328 feet or 109 yards). It's weird... tomorrow comes a friend who also have a J7 but full stock, never root or anything, I'll see how much signal she have.
