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] nexus 5

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

[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.

International S7, T-Mobile's wifi calling and VOLTE, and custom ROMs

I'm about to pull the trigger on buying the S7 and (thanks to this forum) have researched the (T-mobile) "carrier" version with SnapDragon processor vs. the International non-carrier version with Exynos processor. Seems like the latter is generally preferred, with 2 drawbacks:
1) Not compatible with T-Mobile's wifi calling;
2) No VOLTE
My only remaining questions are:
1) It seems as though with most unlocked / non-carrier smartphone models, custom ROMs are usually made available that enable carrier-specific features, but it seems like no such ROMs have yet been developed and widely circulated to enable T-Mobile's wifi calling or VOLTE. Is it typically just a matter of WHEN, rather than IF, such ROMs usually get into circulation? IOW, even though I'll be without those features on the Exynos S7 for now, can I buy the phone with confidence that in the not too distant future there SHOULD be a ROM to enable these? (Wifi calling is actually rather important to me since my gf's apt is a dead zone.)
2) Can someone ELI5 VOLTE to me? I'm still note entirely sure what it is / does, and want to evaluate how much I should care if my Exynos S7 doesn't support this...

Exynos does support volte. I am using it and it works fine.

Would you mind explaining how you got it working? Did you have to do anything other than change your CSC? I changed my CSC to T-Mobile US and I now have the option to enable wifi calling, however when I turn it on it just hangs there saying 'Enabling'.

Yep that's what I used. I did a clean install of the SuperMan rom and used CSC changer again...same issue, it hangs at Enabling. Even went back to stock rom and it does the same thing.
Finally, I installed the Note 7 OnTheEdge rom like you said and it appears to be working, I now see the wifi calling notification at the top left and I get the volte icon when i'm not connected to wifi. I wonder if anyone has been able to get it to work on other roms?

I've only tried it on n7rom mentioned above. Guess it has to do with the rom since not working in Superman rom.

New G930F, wish to downgrade FW

Hi, I'm in the US and I received my new S7 G930F International today with baseband G930FXXU1DQB1, Android 7.0 and wish to downgrade to Marshmallow 6.01, where can I find the proper FW for this?
From what I've been able to find so far I have this,
XX = COUNTRY CODE (Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom)

Hi mate
Use an app like PhoneInfo to find out what is your active CSC , this will tell you what country is the firmware from
You can flash the firmware of any country you want , just make sure that its CSC has the country specific features you need ( like Wif calling or VoLTE)

Hi mate
You have and unbranded Panamanian firmware
My question would be is it working good in the USA , are you missing any carrier option like wifi calling or VoLTE?
If not you can use any of the 6.0.1 from here (TPA)
http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?r=TPA&v=&q=g930f&exact=1
Here you use Odin and i would use AP, BL , CP and CSC ....not quite sure if you could use home_csc to save your data, using CSC will factory reset your phone....i would use that option
This option here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fvq2-XRisDI
Downgrade your phone and save your data but is not a 100% downgrade as it does not flash the bootloader and the modem.......
Why you want to downgrade anyhow?

Hi @MAX 404, thanks for that link, it's a genuine PITA sifting thru all of the firmware over there. I'm with Consumer Cellular (AT&T) and the reason for the downgrade (6.01), I want to just root (CF-Auto-Root) without a custom recovery atm.
Also, things seem to be running fine with this firmware, data etc. though I haven't used it much. I don't use WiFi calling so have no real need for that. Curious, though what would be a better or closer firmware other than Panama as I have to admit I'm a bit overwhelmed with the sheer number of firmware choices.

Yes, In the USA they do not have the G930F ( exynos chipset) they comercialice the snapdragon version.....with a lock bootloader
Myself i think the one you got is better
That is why you do not have a G930F USA firmware

Quick question, just so I'm square on this, I read somewhere but forgot where, how these files are handled, in their respective slots, CSC, CP, BL, AP but what is done if at all of the "HOME" file?
Edit: I found that it should be ignored and just use the regular CSC file, I do opt for a full wipe anyhow.

Hi
That is right , you should use home_csc only if is the same one that is in your phone and you want to keep the user date , with CSC you will wipe the phone and have a clean install...better that way
