Update: Hi guys I have discontinued this thread to the fact that I do no longer own a N7100 device.
Hi Guys,
I thought of creating an official Modem list for the Samsung Galaxy Note II N7100 Modems
I will be adding all the modems available in CWM flashable zips.
What is a modem?
Modem/Radio/Baseband is all the same thing and can be seen by going to Settings - About device - Baseband version. It's basically a driver which receives and sends Mobile Network signals as well as handling switching between GPRS, 3G, HSDPA etc....... (but not WiFi connection, that and switchover between Mobile Network and WiFi is handled by the kernel). Reasoning as to why Modem has no influence on WiFi can be found in this post by Entropy
Why?
Sometimes some custom roms come with modems for various regions. If your modem is designed for different regions than yours then the chances are that it will sometime not work with optimal network performance.
You should look into changing your modem if you are experiencing the following... (I'm writing this from my personal experience, so all may not apply to you).
Poor 3G speeds
Very fast battery drain whilst on 3G
Poor call reception
How to check
Settings >> About device >> Baseband version
Requests
If you want I can make CWM flashable zips, I just need modem donors who will send me modem.bin files with relevant versions so that I could build up this list. You are free to PM me as well.
It is not practical for me to go around downloading all the N7100 roms in the world and extract the modem file.
How to Extract
If you have the N7100 rom zip
1. Extract zip
2. Send me a zip file of the following files modem.bin, optional (/system/lib/libril.so, /system/lib/libsec-ril.so)
From an already installed N7100 (if you do not have the ROM zip with you)
First of all you need to extract a modem if and only if you are in following situations
1. You use a network specific rom and you need to backup the network specific modem and move to a custom rom.
2. Your friend is using a network specific rom and you want to use the same modem.
***[WARNING!]Modems are device dependent
To extract the phone you are extracting must be rooted and usb debugging enabled:
Use adb to dump the modem to your internal phone memory, use this command
Code:
adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p10 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096
exit
The dumped size will be bigger like 88MB don't worry just zip it and send me the link, I will make a CWM Installer.

Thanks
Wanam - for sending me various modems bundled with ROMS
Extra Info
Region Code
(info referred from geko95gek's post)
The name of the Modem usually specifies the region its intended for, however... this doesn't mean it will work best for you. Classification of the Modem regions is as follows:
CE---> Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands
DC---> Thailand
DD---> India
DX---> Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam
DZ---> Malaysia, Singapore
JA---> South Africa
JC---> Algeria, Morocco, Nigeria, South Africa, Tunisia
JP---> Arabic, Algeria, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria
JV---> Tunisia, Turkey
UG---> North America
UH---> Latin America, The Caribbean
XE---> Bulgaria, Estonia, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, Ukraine
XX---> Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, United Kingdom
XW---> Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Nordic, Spain, United Kingdom
ZC---> China, Hong Kong
ZH---> Hong Kong
ZS---> China, Hong Kong
ZT---> Taiwan
After you install the modem, here is how to check the speeds and signal strength
Signal strength and quality can be tested using this app: Network Signal Info
Download and upload speeds on your network with a current Modem can be tested using this app: Speedtest.net

Subscribed this thread and will look forward to some odin / cwm flashable modems. Thanks mate.
No one knows everything, so i wondered, what are "Modems"? I know those Modems that create connections between 2 points for Internet for example.
But Flashable Android Modems?
You know, I just looked for such thread through XDA yesterday and was surprised I never find one. Ended up grabbing binary from firmware and flashed through Odin
Thanks in advance!
Thanks but why here.:thumbup:

Modem is basically the connection driver software for your mobile device's radios for it to connect to GSM/3G/HSPDA

Does it require root? Im from belgium but i dont see any "CE" in my radio version so i should flash the one for my country?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
you need custom recovery...
weather it has root or not does not matter mate...
Also no need to worry about your country code. If a modem is working good then leave it as it is.
If you are having any issues with it then go ahead try different ones...

Hello there.
I'm sorry if I haven't used the search engine right but I couldn't find a thread similar or answering my question.
I bought my phone, the note 3 in the Netherlands. It is an unbranded phone(phn) as far as I know.
But I am living in belgium. And for some reason I can't get my 4g to work with the Base operator.
Or with any other operators. For some reason there is no LTE option available in the network settings.
Now I have been searching on Google and went to some stores and compared my csc and ap version to the note 3 working on lte on the same network in the stores. And I saw with every note 3 in the stores that the ap version was ap n9005xxuena7 and mine is n9005xxuena6.
How come my unbranded phone with csc n9005phnena2 is not getting the update that let's me use 4g?
At least that is what I think?
After previewing the post, I noticed I have to update my signature. ..
Your carrier probably hasn't enabled it on your line.
Ring them up
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
I doubt that. They informed me about 4g them selves and the Sim they gave me had a small picture of 4g(lte) and 3 dual carrier on it.
Have you tried a factory reset?
I had a similar problem with my btu uk device after flashing the Polish na6 official firmware. Very unreliable mobile data connectity and went to 4g very rarely.
I didn't factory reset but instead flashed a custom rom (also based on na6) which fixed the problem completely.
I'd suggest factory reset first to see if that helps.

I don't know about Base, but with Proximus, you really have to call the customer service to ask them to activate the 4g for you. Did you try that?

I have a cheap abo with Proximus and have 4G on my note 3.
I don't have to do a thing about it so you don't have to call them its already activated for every abo.
I don't think it is operator related. Because my Sim works on my mother's s4 perfect.
I guess it is the update that is necessary to activate 4g on unbranded phones.

I can't say what's wrong with BASE, maybe they haven't enabled 4G towers yet...I'm on XL from Proximus and I get LTE all over Vlaanderen.
Well, try to flash some of the Polish 4.4.2 available all over XDA. My Note was also bought from Belsimpel but never had any issues with 4g--->with the latest NB3 (OTA) there's no more 4G sign...it's LTE.

Kies Backup works just fine...
Not every provider has 4G enabled in every CSC version. I get this question about 12 times a day on the T-Mobile NL forums.
I had 4G on DBT with T-Mobile NL two months before the T-Mobile NL Branded and PHN versions had it.
Resetting won't make a difference. This needs to be toggled in the firmware itself by Samsung. On most other devices you can use the *#*#4636#*#* or *#2263# dialer code to manually force the network mode, but they disabled it on the Note 3.

Thank you. You confirmed what I assumed was the problem.
I already have tried viaero. All I get is a black screen. No selectable option or toggle button. Nothing but a black screen. So I have to wait for an update or put a custom rom on it?
And is it possible to backup app settings? Like I dont have to configure Yatse again and Xbmc?
I am a noob with flashing custom roms and rooting.
Thank you.
call Base , tell them to activate it . Mobile Viking uses the base network and they had to phone base to activate G4 for my number.
up till few weeks a go you neded to make a call for proximus aswell but that changed because of the promoting of 4G action that is running for 6 months

No need to flash a customROM. If another official ROM has 4G enabled for our provider, you could flash that over PHN. No rooting, no knox triggering, no warranty issues. The only issue you might run into is that nonsense people have recently been getting flashing over PHN with the filesize.
NA6 is the most recent firmware for PHN. Could you go check in the stores what CSC version the devices are using that do have 4G on your provider? To my knowledge NA7 is a provider-specific version limited to T-Mobile and daughter-companies.

I have been searching on Google for people having the same problem. I found someone posting his csc version and for this guy is the 4g working with the Ota update he got.
His csc version was N9005OXXDMJ4.
I'm also going to the store tomorrow to look it up.

Actually, that's XEF. France Unbranded. (It could also be romania, but XEF is more common. Also, they tend to sell XEF in most open stores here in the benelux.)

You got me all excited about this. I am at work right now so I can't do it right now.
How do I flash? With kies? Or do I use something else?
Or should I look that up ?
I am going to look that up no matter what but advise and how to is always welcome.
Thank you for the help everybody.
EDIT: it explains on the website it self how to flash. Thank you.
Gonna let know if it worked.
Hello Xda community,
Personally i own an unbranded GS4 i9500( currently i have Android Jellu Bean) and i wanted to know which version of kit kat is the best to update to, since there are many options in sammobile.
- Country: India
PDA: I9500XXUFNB3
CSC: I9500ODDFNB3
And the rest are from different countries(Trinidad and Tobago, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia) but they have the same PDA and CSC, unfortunately it isnt released in my country yet...
PDA: I9500XXUFNB7
CSC: I9500OLBFNB4
Thank you in advance
The best u can do for avoid problems is:
1- Conect it to Kies 3 for know ur code region. CSC are the 3 letters btw parenthesis. The list of codes for region is HERE
2- Wait the update for ur code region. Why? Each country is different (some have LTE, others only 3g, differents modems, etc).
3- If its try for try.... select the one u wish but take care of the step 2 :highfive:
Indian one is quite stable and battery friendly.

As the i9500 does not have LTE, is safe to flash both. I did saw some improvments in phone calls and time to do the call in the indian version from the latest Omega Rom. The v18 was based on Russian version and v19 is based on indian.
Hope this help.

I'm on the same network in the UK, and although rooted find that Xposed + Wanam Xposed + App Settings allows me to pretty much set up the phone the way I want it, without really needing to jump to a custom rom.
If you're wanting to try a rom, make sure it's for the N9005 and maybe has BTU selection as part of the installation. I was considering X-Note, CivZ, Assassin - there are loads to go at.
:good:
Hay, struggling with the same issue, was there ever a resolution to this?
You can use any ROM that ends with hlte because your phone is international phone at the moment I'm using resurrection remix ROM. I live in UK and I have EE as well with a note 3 thanks
Its the modem and CSC that counts .
Hi XDA, I need help with my future Stock Rom. I have an Galaxy S4 I9500 which Im going to give away but its rom-customized, rooted and also has xposed framework. I live in Venezuela so I searched the firmwares trought Samobile but neither of the rom's worked because they are all branded and the one that I need (movistar) is from Android Jelly Bean. When I got this phone it had an unbranded stock rom without any bloatware from any Phone-line company, find that rom would be excellent but Android 5.0.1 from movistar could also works. Any help?

I have used Samobile and downloaded the firmware either for Argentina, Product Code: ARO, or Trinidad and Tobago, Product Code: TTT. They are open firmewares and work just fine and are more updated than the ones for Venezuela Movistar, Digitel or Movilnet. I use Digitel and have had no problem with these.
