Hello,
I wanted to ask if there is any connection between a kernel and a modem version ?
Can I use any kernel with any modem ?
Thanks !
Yes you can. Also there's a q&a section

Does changing firmware automatically change the modem?

I believe so since the firmware has the modem inside. But from what I have read you can use any modem you like on any Kernel but some may not work for you depending on where you live.

If by firmware you mean rom, no, not automatically, it depends if the rom comes with a modem inside.
You can always flash another modem ontop of the one installed if you want to, and unlike in the old days, modem flashing is a low risk operation, as generally at worst you just have to reflash another modem.

I can't seem to understand which Modem version I need to install on my device.
I rooted my SGS2 and installed the villain rom and it said in the end to update the modem to a XXKG1. Atm I have a XXKE7 one.
Can I install the XXKG1 modem?

First of all, thanks for the reply.
But I was looking for a more general rule:
Can I install any modem? I saw a thread in the developers forum which has a very long list of modems that have the PHONE, PDA specs under each modem name.
I thought maybe I need to install one that matches my own modem or something of that sort. Would love to get a proper explanation.

The baseband (modem) update contains the information required to operate the radio chipset and generally gets refined and improved with later releases. That's not to say you will encounter any issues using the KE7 version with KG1 firmware but of course it would make sense to upgrade.
Regards.
Generally its good practice to match the modem software to the rom, but some members have suffered poor signal when they installed the kg1 modem, and ended up going back to the kf2 modem software.
At one point i was running villainrom 2.0 with ke7 modem, but have just updated to the kg1 version. No real difference so far, except maybe slightly better wifi performance?

How do I update the modem btw?
Either a modem.bin is contained in the ROM's .tar, then it gets flashed automatically AFAIK, or you have a seperate .tar for it, put that into the "Modem" or "Radio" slot in Odin and off you go
But do I have to put the phone in some mode?
Download / Recovery mode?
Yes, would need to boot phone into download mode.
And choose modem file in "Phone" selection in Odin (as is mentioned in this thread).
I'm not sure if you can but I want to change my baseband from kl7 to kkla4, sorry if it sounds dumb but thanks if anyone is willing to help
use odin...or the Q&A section, whichever you see fit
I'm curious about this too. Im familiar with the multi file firmware but not the single file LA4. How do you extract just the baseband?
Can you elaborate a little on how to use Odin mate
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Chang baseband is just changing modem. Go to the dev section to down load the la4 modem and flash it from cmw . Warning tho my kk1 start to have issue with data connection after flash la4 where it would disconnect itself every now and then. So make a bk up first
Link to download and instruction

Yes it's possible thru Odin, I have done this too. From my experience KL7 is the best modem, it holds on to signal better and wifi wakes-up very quick. But overall LA4 rom is the best stock rom out there, you might just wanna flash the whole rom as well.

The most radio is la4 and is better than other modem. Why do you update the complete rom la4?
Hello, i want to extarct the ROM from my moms S4 any way to do that? and i preffer a way that wont damage the device or any data on it i just need a copy of the ROM
What exactly are you wanting to achieve by doing that ?
The only way I know is to make a backup on her phone in CWM and then restore it on yours.
Pointless though.

What's the point in doing that?
If your mom's phone has a stock rom in it right now, why not just download the stock rom
from SamMobile.com ?
If your mom's phone has some custom rom in it, why not simply download the same
custom rom which you can find here in xda ?
Or perhaps you just want to spy on your mom and see all her texting, email and phone numbers? LOL
My moms S4 has a modem that works well in israel the i9505 works badly if its bought not from sanny ( a i9505 supplier ) and my is a T mobile from the states so yes getting her rom would work best for me and i couldnt get to copy her modem to the PC always stops before starting like its blocked or something
Ummmm you should make sure that its not an i9500 if it is that will explain why it doesn't seam to be as good I think.

Hers is a different model than yours. The ROMs are interchangeable but the modems are not. You cannot use a 9505 modem on a t mobile 919. Besides, the modem isn't part of the ROM so backing up her ROM wouldn't let you move the modem to your phone.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

They are both the same phone I installed lots of different ROMs and they all work except it still drops calls when I'm on 3G+

Yeah but extracting/flashing a ROM on the s4 will not change the modem. Modem can only be changed with Odin or heimdall and flashing the wrong modem=bad news. If you're asking how to extract a ROM to fix modem issues you probably shouldn't be playing with your modem... but here you go.

Dude i live in israel why give me T mobile antenas?
Well, there are a plethora of modems in there. Puerto Rico, Mexico, Canada for a few different firmwares. I don't know what exact phone or baseband you have but I linked that for the reading about modems.
I'm running Golden eye rom. And my baseband is I9505DXUAMDM. The problem is, i'm having trouble with the network. When the phone gets idle, then i use it, it has no network and takes while to have it back in. Idk but when i bought this phone, it was only locked by Globe(sim) which i was using globe as well. So i believe it doesnt have anything to do with that carrier locked thingy. TIA.

You need to update the modem in order to fix the dropping issue. and The latest modem for your country is MKE mate. Have a nice day

I am using the MJ5 modem on most of the 4.3 and kitkat roms and I am not having any network drops.
Since the 4.3 update, old modems are getting network drops. So you need to update your baseband. Try MJ5.
Btw I'm locked to Globe as well.

Yep just download the MKE and MJ5 earlier on that thread.
So, just flash it then? No need to reinstall everything?

because im scared. because some people says that if i flash to stock firmware there is possibility that the baseband again will corrupt (sorry for bad english)
That is a very rare chance. Just make sure you have good downloads and when using ODIN, do not touch the phone until it is complete.

Just keep your MODEM / BASEBAND version in mind. Write it down before updating.
If baseband unknown happens, just flash your previous modem version, not whole rom. It will be fine then
