if you flash a rom that isn't for your region, you probably cant conect to 3g cause different regions uses different radio bands.
So, if you got this trouble, you might flash this binary via odin to recover 3g connection.
it's for north america, south america and thailand!
just flash any rom you want, then flash this in the phone section of odin:

let me know if this help anyone
I am reluctant to believe that you can't connect to a 3G signal because of a software limitation. If the radio does not support certain bands no modem.bin can solve the problem. The P6200 support 900/1900/2100 the P6200L support 850/1900/2100.

if you dont know yet, models like p6200 and p6200L got the same hardware. But the firmware changes, because of regions. That's why p6200 got 3g over 850mhz band and p6200, on 900mhz.
The modem.bin is the firmware for this region.. like a driver, that make this band freq work.
if you dont try this yet.. go ahead and you will find that you cant connect to 3g in your country. this is only for thailand and americas
dont talk if you dont try first man
cheers
You are saying that both the P6200 and the P6200L have the same quad Band radio on 3G at 850/900/1900/2100. But the P6200 has a baseband that only supports 900/1900/2100 while the P6200L has a baseband that only supports 850/1900/2100?
Has anyone else successfully been able to flash the modem.bin of a P6200 over a P6200L and connect to 850mhz on 3G?
P_
yup.. im from chile and my device was SOD. so i have to flash a firmware from rusia.. there 3g band works on 900mhz so i only have edge on my GTP. i flashed the modem.bin from thailand (where 3g works on 850 mhz, like in south/centroamerica) and voila: IT WORKS.
You are confirming what I am saying : your TAB is a P6200L, thus has a 3G radio that works on 850/1900/2100 . You flashed a baseband for a radio that works on 3G on 900/1900/2100 . While your phone was still working on Edge ( since the radio is indeed a quad band on GPRS/Edge ) it could not connect on 3G.
I am assuming that the code of the two baseband is the same for the GPRS/Edge part, and this is why you are still able to flash it and have it partially working on a radio with different frequency.
But do not tell me that the P6200 and the P6200L have the same radio because they don't.
P_
they do have the same HARDWARE but different FIRMWARE
You've lost your mind. Someone please call 911
i already test that on 3 different devices: i9003, galaxy fit and galaxy ace.. all the same thing. and now, the GTP..
that's why im talkin bout that.. because i try it already man
P6200L to P2600 firmware to get 3g on 900mhz

please be real. to say something AT LEAST try it first. you dont know anything about this topic, so please dont be like that. you can change the firmware to anything you want and vice versa.
It's possible, but you'll have to find the modem from the P6200. I don't think anyone has uploaded it yet (could be wrong).
you are wrong my friend =)

Matey I live in Australia I ihad firmware from Hong Kong but I the used this to fix a messed up ROM and wiped it with a pit file as well now I have lost 3G HSPDA all I have at the top is H by the way I am using a Galaxy S4 so far you are the only person that I have found with a fix can this be adapted to the GS4 to work on the original firmware?? If not do you know what direction to point me to I have tried doing all the manual APN etc. but no go please I would be so grateful for any advice given.....

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...

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...
Hi all
I have a nexus 5 i have ROM cataclysm 4.4.2 installed first i really happy with this custom ROM it is fast stable no real issues
i have 2 questions:
is there any updates like nightly for this custom ROM ?
where i can find them ?
i have the battery draining fast down i installed wakelock detector and found out is it google Now that draining the battery
i did what was suggested clear data (which clears the home layouts back to original one) and stopped for google now the battery is performing better
i don't know if there is already an updated from google to this .. ?
any feedback would great ..
Thanks
D821 N5 LTE signal
Hi all
Another question i have
I'm still using the cataclysm ROM very stable one
my operator activated LTE but i never get te signal of LTE ..
BaseBand/modem version : M8974A.1.0.25.0.23
Build : KOT49H
Kernel version 3.4.0-gadb2201 [email protected] #1 Wed Nov 20 14:42:53 PST 20 13
I was wondering if the Catalysm ROM update also th e modem and if it is the D820 instead of the D821 ?
does the D820 can impact LTE if it is running on D821 since they doesnt use sam bands
I'm in France ..
Thanks for any support and help .

No. Even flashing a modem cannot physically change the hardware.

Thanks for the answer , in fact the question is since in LTE the modem will try the available frequencies (bands) if the modem is US it will try different bands than EU bands
This is why i was wondering if i need to flash it back to EU version (if it gets flashed when i falshed the catcalysm rom with U.S modem)
I'm just trying to understand why i get zero LTE signa while i'm 600m from the tower
Thanks

There are 2 things here:
1) Radio Hardware. This has different bands between D820 and D821
2) Modem Software. There is no difference between US and RoW. D820 Software modem and D821 Software Modem are identical.
So this is not your issue...
Check your APN and ROM settings

hi
i've bought an H60-L01 with TDD LTE...
the problem now is that it only works in 2g mode and the mobile data connection is only G, which is damn slow
is there any chance to fix that f.e. flash rom or kernel or anything else??? i would be thankful for any way to solute this! so please help
greets

maybe flashing the L04 rom incl. radio could turn the L01 to L04? Someone has done L04 on L02 seems OK, won't harm the phone.
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

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.

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.
