Modem pulled from the Samsung Blaze4G.
Not hard to install at all, just put it on your sdcard and flash in Recovery.
Yes. This was not originally for Froyo I have to remove some /libs.
I made it work for the Sidekick 4G.
Credits to Master&Slave for pulling the Modem from the device.

Download: Here
Froyo/Gingerbread Only

My Results:
-My speeds have increased and I always have 3/4 full bars no lower and always 4G.

Just Hit the thanks button...
It will save a lot of you from getting infractions/warnings

I'll give it a shot and report back here. Thanks.

Edit : Noticing a gain of 1-2 bars on signal and faster 4G speeds. This is the real deal man, thanks! It will report as KJ2 but it is the Blaze 4G modem.

HOLY******* MOTHER OF LORD! SUPER EDIT! Just ran a speed test....holy..****. 11,000 kbps (download), 1,000 kbps (upload)

MY HERO! Lol!

mind getting permission to upload the modem directly to xda? call me lazy if you want but I do not feel like having to sign up at a file sharing site just to download something -_-

May seem like a noob question, but how does this affect your contract and things like that? Like its not going to give me surcharges or anything? It just increaces the ability of the radio already built in?

Maybe I made some othr significant change right before flashing the modem that I forgot about, but I have to ask. Is anyone else's phone being significantly more responsive? Especially during gpu intensive tasks. For example like playing temple run

I can't tell... Temple Run is always lagging for me, as time goes by it gets more smooth..but it'll still lag occasionally.

I will have to try this when I get home. The file sharing site is blocked at work.


I don't have any service in my apartment, so... after flashing, and it works, I'll be very happy.

I beleave he removed the /libs from the original zip so it would flash correctly (only guessing since thats what it took for me to flash the original onto my phone an notice a difference)

Modem flashing is a huge thing over in the captivate forum its nothing new.

    Here is a link to get the KD1 and KJ2 modems. This is handy for people that want to revert back to what they had before.

    xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1572722

    On my device, the KD1 modem has delivered around 10 megabits down and 1.5 megabit up... KJ2 averages around 7 megs down and 1.5 meg up... This Blaze modem delivered about 3.5 megs down and 1 meg up.

    I tested over a three day period with each modem. I have posted the best speeds that I see and they all come from the local test servers in Dallas. Speeds from New York and California have too many variables between me and the server to be reliable.

    As always, use what works best for you.

    How smooth your video game runs has nothing to do with this modem.

    Thank You.
