[Q] Modem questions - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

hi all,
I didnt find any threads that answered my question well, so if its a repeat my apologies. I am running Blu Kuban 1.0.5.4, it runs nice and smooth, i love everything about it, but i dont know JACK about modems in this sense. In about phone it says my modem is FF18, which seems right from everything i HAVE read lol, but then the BK build # say FL24.
i have read that GB and ICS modems are interchangeable, but i have no knowledge of where to start or IF i should bother messing with it. i know i have to travel to downtown orlando to catch a 4g signal, and 3g kinda sux and i get almost nothing inside my apt, and wifi is alot lower than i expected given i run a full dual-band DDWRT gigabit cat6 network.
so the crux of the question is the modem in the build number what it seems like? are the 2 conflicting or am i just misunderstanding al together lol and more, is there a better setup i can use, i know that tends to be phone specific but it seems like in general some prove to work well together and some dont.
thanks in advance for any/all help

FF18 is fine to run in BK FL24. Both are ICS. However, modems vary from phone to phone, location to location. I would try updating your modem to FL24, and after you reboot, update prl and profile, and see if that improves signal. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. But the short answer is no, the build is not conflicting with your modem, it's most likely the area you are in. Play around with other modems, see if it helps! Good luck

ok so i tried that...wifi speeds jumped up by like 5 mb/s on the download side but i lost all 3g/4g capabilities...hmm, i used the kuban updater to d/l ffl24, and it all went smoothly, is it possible i missed a step in the process, i have read that some people need to re enter msl or things like that my cell # is right but the msid looks like someone elses phone # and prl is 21097... so im not sure if thats right or not lol

Hmmm, sounds like you may have flashed a bad modem. Flash back, see what happens, then try another ff, fi, fk build

thanks, i tried a couple of different modems from the series' you suggested and none help, and most actually caused reboots and lockups, so im back at the FF18 and im gonna call it a failed experiment...im almost always on the wifi anyway but, it was worth a try

What method are you using to flash? Flashing modem shouldn't be causing all that
Sent from my SPH-D710BST using xda premium

great inglihd
for the first one the FL24 i used the internal updater built into BK, but after that i switched to mobile odin bc i was afraid it was an updater issue...though my battery was a tad low but it was on the charger, and a straight wall charger too not a usb to my pc charger. ah well im not sweating it, like i said im mostly home anyway so having a kick ass rom thats rock solid is more important anyway lol

Not sure if you know but mobile Odin does not support the flashing of modems for the epic touch. It may look like it flashes but nothing happens. Either desktop Odin or recovery is the only way to flash a modem.

wow..no i didnt know that, some of the other boards hinted at it working through mobile odin and some said nothing at all, a friend however said it could so i took his advice...its possible he had the same thing where it looked like it flashed but didnt...it would explain the probs i had with the other modems lol

Read RWilco's comment in tutorial for flashing TAR and TAR.MD5 files, and it is a blanket statement regarding modems and Mobile Odin/Mobile Odin Pro (don't do it).

with that in mind i will try using only cwm, and see if that makes a difference...thanks all for the help and the quick responses you guys all rock! im not a complete noob with flashing and such, but im not a pro either, i spent alot of time in IT and helpdesk, but now im back in school for programming, still only kinda towards the end of what would probably still be considered an apprentice level code monkey and while i some experience with linux/unix, in that realm i WOULD call myself a noob lol

ok so...i guess i have one more question, im running Blu Kuban, which uses a modified AGAT recovery...is it ok to flash a modem from that or should i just stick with desktop odin?

It's ok to flash from that. If it doesn't take, then try pc Odin. But like I said, I use CWM exclusively for modems.

Thank you for keeping us posted on your progress. Sprint/Boost/Virgin Mobile should just link to this forum in their communities for all tech support issues. It's faster, better info, and way friendlier. And wow it beats the heck out of going into their stores. I remember when Garwynn would post in the Sprint forum for the E4GT, and his input was far better than the Sprint monitors.

Try updating profile/prl in system updates and reboot. If that doesn't fix it contact sprint and have them attempt to push it through reactivation.
But no, simply rooting the device will not solve the problem you're explaining. If the above steps don't work, just swap it out?? Clearly its not a widespread issue and likely has something to do with its activation.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Assuming you or he already updated the profile and PRL correctly and talked with Sprint (while on the phone to assure it is registered correctly!) I'd recommend using sfhub's stock root [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101] This provides a clean start with el29 modem, kernal and stock ROM, and provides root access. Since he's having problems I'd do a FULL restore (reset user data). I'd then use Auto Root with CWM - option C [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728]. That will give you a stock rooted phone with CWM for recovery and additions. Make sure all works. That may be enough. It could be just horrible reception at his place. Might want to check out an Airave device. There are also posts on how to tweak 3g/4g speeds [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1265990] Then if all is working maybe think about another ROM. I'm loving Blazer. Calkulin's and Strong Steve's are also super. Good luck.

Fastest Setup I've ever experienced

Hey guys and gals-
Just thought I'd share with you something I'm really excited about. I've been flashing pretty much everything that has come out over recent weeks, and even months. I just was on CM9 build 3.1, which was incredible, but unfinished. I thought it could be my daily, but it started to go into airplane mode and lose mobile data randomly, so I had to restore. After doing so, I feel the need to share with you a setup that I am blown away by. It is:
Gingerbread (Android 2.3.6)
FB 21 Modem (Steady's newest release)
EL29 Kernel (I know some might be upset it's not the newest available, but go with me here)
Everything is just SO ridiculously snappy, I can't believe what I have been missing. Since the "about phone" only has Gingerbread.EL29 in it and not the rom's developer, I can't be certain about the specific ROM I used but I'm fairly certain it's Blazer.
Anyway, enough of the rant. I suggest those who need a break from flashing all the newest things give this combo a try and let me know if you have a similarly enjoyable experience!
Out of curiosity, how long have you been on this setup?
Surely one of the [email protected] here will chime and tell you of a better way to be certain who's kernel you're using? I could be wrong...
Ill check it out now. If nothing else it will take my mind off the fact that I'm jones'n so hard for CM9 Alpha 4, so why not.
Any particular flash order? ...flash this combo all in one CWM session, or reboot in-between? ...etc. Any additional details you can provide would be helpful. I'm bored atm anyway.
Thanks for the info.

Just about six hours now with about 1.5 hours total of voice calling and consistent texts. Hasn't slowed down, but if there are any major (out of the ordinary) changes I'll be sure to report.

Unfortunately like I said, this was a restore which ended up keeping my FB21 Modem with EL29 Kernel. So I don't know the recommended way to flash, but if I were to do it on my own I would probably say format all, blazer EL29 ROM (with kernel), and then this morning is when I actually ODIN'd the FB21 modem, so probably boot up, turn off, enter ODIN download mode, and do that last.

I can confirm my blazer 4.0 setup on stock EL29 kernel with FB21 modem is insanely fast, super long battery and no problems. I highly recommend it!

Well, it's at least a step towards a consensus. Promising.... Hope you become a hero bro, lol. Seriously though, I'd *so* love it if you're right. win/win for everyone.
I ran this for a few days before going to the FB21 Leaked ICS ROM from Calk. It is very nice.
I ran the fb 21 modem and everything was really awesome. except gps. gps sucked miserably. when I was using fb 15 it worked fine so I have since gone back to it.

Another good sign. I think I need to stop typing and start flashing.
So to be clear FB modems work fine with Gingerbread ROMs? No issues flashing? I was kinda on the fence about it. Im waiting for a stable ICS ROM.
Nevermind flashed it anyway on Blend 2.6.2 ROM. No problems.
Edit, weird LOS issues moved back to EL29.

In that case, your sig needs updating. Lol j/k. Were you using FB21 in combination with Blazer 4.0 and EL29, like the OP? Just curious...
Yes, no issues. A great improvement, actually.
For reference, here is a screenshot of my home screen. Note the status bar....can't recall exactly which ROM this is from but it's pretty distinguishable. My favorite thus far.

[Q] FC09 or FB15

I am running FB15 on CM9 and have had a pretty good experience with it. Has anyone moved to the latest radio, FC09 (i think it is still the latest)???? Did it make a difference? Is it worth changing over to it?
haven't seen any difference in Daytona area. I really don't think they are doing any modem work since EI22.

I have to say I believe fc09 appears more consistant on day 2 of testing! 4g and 3g are more consistant on speeds and much less fluctuation than fb15
MTD (EL30)
BLENDED CLEAN GB 1.12 With Various mods
SHADOW V3.0
(in the voice of lil john)
YAAAYUUUUUHH!!!!
I no longer have Sprint service but, instead, uses it on WIFI. I noticed battery life under use is better with FC09, GPS is back to being more accurate and the automatic brightness is finally more consistent, whereas, before it used to fluctuate.

Modem only effects signal, 1x, and 3g. If you only use wifi, you do not need a modem.

It sounds like he has the whole update, not just the modem.
FC09 gave my data speeds a little boost and more consistency as well as made my WiFi speeds jump up a whole 10 Mbps. Very worth the tedious task of collecting files, odining back to EL30, then using the CWM 5.0.2.7 zip to flash the FC09 delta file, even with a 20% chance of possible corruption that would cause me to start the entire process over again.
I'm on FB15 and have been since it leaked....seems like the whole community skipped over it and jumped directly to FC09 tho might jump ship myself soon enough but as of late I've had great 3G speeds and download speeds (could be the 3G Turbo tweak tho) and I never use wifi so.

Why did you Odin back to el30? Just flash the FC modem on its own.

ok, i asked this question originally to see if there was a definite answer. seems to be half and half. however, being that i am on cm9 with fb15, what is the easiest way to install fc09? should i boot in to stock rom from my sddisk and install fc09, or can i just odin the modem directly to the phone while on cm9? i tried to odin it a while back and screwed the entire phone up and had to start all over.
Just Odin the modem directly.

Do you bother to read posts? Odin the fc modem on its own, or titanium backup your apps and flash the fc tar and reinstall your apps. How many hand outs do you need?

the reason i asked is i did odin it and caused my phone to not boot up. i had to start all over. if you do not have anything constructive or professional to say, perhaps you should keep it to yourself. you are probably 5'2" and angry at the world and what,...17 and no life?

when you odin just the modem it should be a modem.bin in the phone section of odin I believe. someone else can chime in but for sure. but I had the same problem with the modem.tar for fc09. but if you have to start over just flash the official fc09 or fc19 tar then root and boot.

Synergy r484

Kinda new to the xda still trying to figure out rules. Kudos to the synergy guys tried a couple different roms and I'm addicted to this rom and is features. Just flanged the r484 and am support happy the mms issue wad fixed. Multi Window flawless. No problems with cameras. The only thing I have had issues with is reception 4g/3g. It seemed more stable with r433. Using ziggy and used custom install with pre selected synergy recs. If this post is on the wrong spot mod please fix. If someone has an answer for me greatly appreciated

Have you tried changing your modem ? Or going to a different ROM and updating prl and profile ?

Changing modem? Haven't heard that one yet. If you could elaborate on that one that would help. As for prl and profile I'll try that but I didn't have the issue with the previous build. Should I just try flashing stock and update? Then reflash. My area hasn't changed. Stock and previous r434 build I had very constant and strong 4g everywhere. With the r484 it can't make up its mind between 3g/4g. Thanks Daniel for the info

You change your modem through Odin. Been a while since I've done it (on HTC for a while there when my Epic broke it's charge port) but as I recall you put the phone in download mode, put them modem in the 'Phone' field after downloading it to your computer, and fire away. Do check the instructions first, I'm going off of memory from six months ago.... Some radios work better with some phones than others. Depends on your device.

In CWM or TWRP recovery, he can flash new modem in .zip format from this thread- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787677
FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CLOSELY, FLASHING MODEM WRONG CAN BRICK YOUR DEVICE!!

That's probably (read:is) easier than Odin.
Thanks for the input guys. Very appreciated. I'll try that the next time I'm at the home computer and let you know.

I s-offed an Evo3D.... that was fun. I got it right the first time by some luck....
Odin is *much* easier than HTC.

I know right. I hate how the only way to root the newer HTC devices is by doing sketchy wire tricks.
Dunno about the ET4G, but my Epic was fairly easy to root. But the GS3 was much easier. My wife's Photon Q was about the same as the GS3.
I had an HTC but never played with it due to watching a friend ruin multiples of them. So I never attempted. Had my gs3 for three days before I rooted and started modding. For never doing this before and having mediocre comp skills this was fairly simple. Just want to make sure I cover my bases before doing something wrong.

[Q] no calls out no texts out no nothing in or out please help

Did a clean install of dirty unicorns and lighting zap kerneral and every since i got no data no phone calls out or texts no nothing any ideas ?
Well if you came from a touchwiz Rom (including stock) you prolly still have a JB Modem. Look under about phone and see if it says GB27 under baseband. If so you need to flash an ICS modem. Get one here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1764210

Ok that rules out the easy one. It would not hurt to flash the FI27 modem. If that don't get you anywhere I personally would check the md5 then dirty flash the Rom over itself to restore the stock kernel. That'll help narrow the possibilities.

I sent him a flashable FI27 modem. For some reason his el29 was not working for him. I only suggested the FI27 modem cause I know my copy is good. If you want to try it, drop me a PM and I'll send you the DB link.

hey thats cool and would try that but right now my phone is a paper weight that i can't seem to get out of bootlooping .. stock sprint jellybean
Get into download mode.
Grab a one click full restore gb27. And use that to get you back.
If you are having problems getting into download mode, be patient. If the partitions are jacked up you have to be quick with the fingers - on and off of the keys to get to download mode.
Also take the battery out of the phone for a full 30 earth minutes before you try again to let the capacitor I completely drain.
If your getting boot loops you haven't bricked...yet
