setings > about phone > baseband will give you your current version.
Compare the version there against the versions listed in the flashable modem thread, which you can get to via the links thread in my signature (section 6.1)

Thank you both. Found it and it did indeed flash. Now T-Mo falls back instead of dropping completely...

You would just wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash the radio in cwm. You can flash the radio twice to make sure it sticks.

[Q] Extracting radio/modem from GB2.3.5

Hello, my wife and I both have SGH-I727 (ATT)..they are both unlocked. I use ATT she uses Straight Talk wireless. I have GB 2.3.5 (UCKJ2), she has ICS.
The radio/modem/gps on ICS sucks. In GB is just fantastic. I want to extract the radio from my device, then either CWM apply it from a zip file to her or via ODIN.
How can I do this?
I did find the ATT UCKJ2 modem/radio which on some forum which I was able to apply to her phone via CWM, but the code was apparently locked to ATT and therefore Straight Talk Wireless did not work.
I would therefore like to try to extract it from my phone and apply it to hers.
I have searched and searched but have not found a way to do this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
THanks!
Have you checked if the apn is the same for the phone that works and the one that doesn't? You may have to manually input the apn.

jd...thanks for the reply...after I flashed the UCKJ2 ATT radio from a thread I found here, I did not check the APN settings. Maybe I did not make it very clear but my ATT SGH-I727 (GB 2.3.5) was not used at all to flashed the Straight Talk (ST) one (ICS). That is what I am trying to do. However,
if you are saying that flashing a new radio may change the target phone APN settings, understood. I can try to flash again (I restored everything back from a CWM backup I had taken before the flashing) and then check the APN settings after the flash to make sure they are still there and correct.
thanks!

I wasn't very clear either. Flash the radio you want to try but then make sure the apn matches the carrier you want to be on.

Hi jd,..I checked the APN settings after flashing the UCKJ2 radio on found on XDA and as I suspected when I hit APN, it told me NO SIM INSERTED error message. That tells me that the radio I flashed was indeed locked to AT&T. So, again here is what I am trying to do
Device 1 Device 2
SGH-I727 Unlocked SGH-I727 Unlocked
Rooted Rooted
CWM Installed CWM Installed
Carrier ATT Carrier Straight Talk Wireless
GB 2.3.5 UCKJ2 ICS 4.0.4 UCLF6
GPS/Rario Perfect GPS/Radio crappy
I want to extract just the radio/modem from Device 1, put it on a zip file and flash it onto device #2.
How can I do that?
Thanks!

Hello xcrazydx,
Would you mind pointing me to them? I have been searching and I did found one UCKJ2 radio as I mentioned but it was locked to AT&T. Are the radios that you re referring to unlocked?
If you can help me locate them I will appreciate it!..
thanks!!

I may be wrong, but I don't believe any of the radios are locked to att. It's the phone that is locked. If you got a no sim error it was probably a bad radio flash. If you look for vincoms one stop sticky in the development forum you'll find links to all sorts of radios.

[Q] carbonROM baseband modem help

Can anyone please tell me whether CM-based ROMs like Carbon automatically update your baseband modem? I'm currently running the 5/15 nightly with ML1 modem and am wondering if I need to update my modem? Yesterday my radio system started acting really odd - my data connection completely dropped out for about an hour. When it came back I could only get 1x or 3G connections, but no 4GLTE. I am pretty sure it isn't location related, I generally get a good connection in the city (Portland, OR). All getting slow connection. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

ROMs do not change or update your baseband unless you are flashing a full ODIN image or taking an OTA. Modems have to be changed or updated separately and by you when you flash ROMs.
Different modems perform at different levels depending on the individual device and area where you live. Best thing to do is flash different modems, try each one for a few days, and test which one works best for you.

Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it. If it's not too much trouble, could you tell me what version I should be using and where to get a flashable image? Thanks in advance.

Also interested, I don't see any firmware threads anywhere.

This is what you're looking for. You'll follow the link and want to flash the firmware with no boot img. When your updating like that, it's always best to flash the full firmware.

Thanks for the "Quote" otherwise I would of never seen this post!
When I was on the S4 you could just flash the baseband update w/ new radios and stuff. Is this not possible anymore?
Gonna dissect the RUU and try to flash via fastboot.
Doing this in the Next 5 mins. If this bricks, do tell.
UPDATE:
It failed, nothing happened, I just want an radio update.zip or something.

You'll want the firmware with out the boot img. You'll flash via fastboot.
Santod does have a radio only in there, but I'd recommend the full firmware (the one without the boot img, of course).
