Yeah it's kinda tough with the galaxy s series since they all look so similar. You might think that things are interchangeable between phones but they're not most of the time.
Well I feel a bit of a dork.....On the galaxy s2 forum I posted saying i had slow internet connection, slower than on my Moto Defy and someone sugested i flash the modem KG6 so I googled it and come up with the US site and assumed it was the same, flashed the modem and, no suprise, failed. I've learned from my mistake now though.
The kh2 is a .tar.tar file? do i just change the end to .md5or do i flash it just the way it is?

sourceforge fudged something up, the file will work as long as it ends on either .md5 or .tar, Odin will recognize what kind of file it is, if it says something like checksum failed get back to me.
Lmfao just flashed it. I dont get why i always need to put in a pit when flashing just the modem. Or else it bricks. Anyways. Running kh2 modem right now. Wifi sig isntthat great.

Give this a test.

If your signal is above -60 dBm then you have a strong connection. I think that the gingerbread wifi icon might be lying to you... But hey, test away.
Kh2 seems to work great.I'm on frost and I get full wifi from very far away

I Odin'd the KH2 modem file and was wondering whether there's really any improvement over the KG6 modem. Here's my build set:
Baseband: KG6
Kernel: KG4
Build No.: ICBINB 2.3.4
I ran WiFi Analyzer and both are showing a signal strength of around -85db (the modem's on the 2nd floor of the house and approximately 20 feet away from my downstairs position). Both the KG6 and KH2 are reading about the same (which isn't all that great and causing problems with trying to call people using WiFi).
Do I need to update the Kernel to KG6 for that to make any difference in improvement? I'm somewhat resigned to wait for cm7 as it seems like every modem install I've tried has made little difference in improving WiFi connectivity but wanted to see if any one else had success. Thanks!

It looks like it's gingerbread that causes lower wifi signal. If you tried the same modems on Froyo you'd get better signal.
just a quick thanks to the OP for putting all of these here. I moved into my gf's condo this weekend, and it's really hard to get a signal inside her place. Unless you are right next to a window, there is no signal, and even then, it's spotty.
tested a bunch modems this weekend and settled on KD1. I can get 2 bars inside the condo now with the phone sitting on my desk. other modems I tested would fluctuate from 0-2 bars, and couldn't hold a steady connection.
So I am a happy camper!

- Having trouble with your KJ6 ROM not sending long texts? Use the KG4 modem!
- These files will NOT erase any of your data. You can flash these and continue using your ROM as normal.
- You can flash these modems from any ROM/kernel combination (froyo or gingerbread). All you need to do is be able to get into download mode or CWM!
- The all_modems_odin/cwm.7z files will always contain all the modems for your convenience.

CHANGELOG
15Alright, finally got around to padding the rest of the modems that we had available for GB. I flash tested all of them in a low signal area and these are the two of this group that gave me the best signal:
KC1
KI1
Go ahead and test them yourself if you're in an area that you normally get no signal in.
Enjoy! They're all posted in the same location as the other padded modems.
MTD padded modems on SourceForge
9Alright guys I finally got around to updating the modem zip files for MTD roms. I've been testing Erik/beastmode's Proton kernel and since he added TWRP 2.4.x (the JB version) I found out that I couldn't flash the padded modems. After a little investigation I found out that the update-binary was failing and complaining about an API change. I remembered reading about an API change to JB recoveries so Erik recommended I grab the update-binary from his JB Slim Beam and voila! it works fine on ICS/JB now.
I haven't yet tested the new MTD padded zips on CWM5/6 nor CM7 so if you guys can test those and report back here that'd be great. I have tested them successfully on TWRP 2.4 and 2.2 though so those are working fine. Enjoy!
Here's the link to the new mtd padded modems

Changelog
Jan 26, 2013
Added LB6 modem for MTD roms (big thanks to getochkn for providing the modem file!)
Updated update-binary file for mtd modems for compatibility with newer JB+ recoveries (thanks to erik/beastmode for the fix!)
Updated flash_modem.sh
--Fixed incorrect busybox variable declaration that could have caused problems
--Added erase_image radio to format the /radio partition before flashing the new modem
EDIT
By the way, you should probably not use the old cm7 padded modems since you won't be able to flash them for newer ICS/JB kernel builds. I'm not taking down the files to keep people from having broken links though.8Well, I finally got around to repackaging the modem files using the new flash script that should work on any ROM that is CM7 and newer! I know I said I'd have this for you guys months ago, I apologize for the wait.
I have even included a 7zip archive that contains all the zip files so you don't have to download them individually if you want the whole collection. I only flash tested 3 of the modems so if you run into any problems make sure you reply.
