I've run out of time to download and share, but there is a new DUKJ1 modem out for Australia Vodafone customers. Will be interesting to try this modem.. though it's probably best suited to Australian users, Telstra or Vodafone.

If someone gets to it, and shares a CWM file, even easier for us all.. hint hint.. :)

Tar of the new KL1 modem.

Gave me great signal in the Long Island and NYC area but crap speeds, actually stalled quite a bit.

Try it out, see what you think.

Edit: it would help if I actually attached the file

Thanks to Intratech and bclark for posting the latest modems. They are now up on page 1. :)


Communicated from a Galaxy far far away via an XDA premium neurotransmitter while DJ'ing on The Enterprise. :D

just to make sure: the modem linked on page1 is flashable over odin, not over cwm, right? I'm just asking, because the link goes to dropbox and ends with "zip"....

Both. ;)

Choose the one you want.

Been hot swapping KL1 with my previous favourite K13, and KL1 in a good signal area today, got the best dBm signal I've ever achieved on any modem I've tested before.

It gets slightly higher pings but faster data speeds.

FYI my carrier uses the 850mhz freq.

If the modem comes in a zip file and contains "Meta-inf" folder and modem.bin file, it's a CWM flashable file.
If the modem comes in a tar file and contains modem.bin file, it's an ODIN flashable file.

Stupid noob question, but this doesn't increase the custom counter?
I don't think so, but just checking.

Only flashing custom ROMs and Kernels via ODIN increases your binary counter. The rest should be fine.

Flashing KL1 tonight and strictly testing battery over the next week or so to compare it with XXKI3.

Looking forward to your impressions in regards to battery life.

As for my impressions, I didn't didn't any different in battery usage compared to my everyday use on K13 on this early stage.

But it's quite hard to judge as there's so many factors involved, not the least being the strength of the 3G signal, the more it hunts the more it drains.

Also, It will be good to know your firmware set up, mine is KK5 Frankenstein, Siyah 2.3(though I'll probably move to 2.4.2).

    Which Modem comes with which various Stock firmwares can be found out here:
    http://devsrom4android.blogspot.co.uk/2011/10/samsung-galaxy-s2-firmware-updates-via.html


    RECOMMENDED MODEMS TO TRY:

    KH3
    XXKI4
    NELP2
    NELP3
    NELP4
    XXLPX
    DXLP9
    DXLPA
    BVLP7 (tested by many, deemed to be a fantastic modem)


    DEFINITION:

    *Modem/Radio/Baseband is all the same thing and can be seen by going to Settings - About Phone - Baseband. 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 - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28052552&postcount=6556


    USAGE:

    *There is no one "Best" modem for everybody. Unfortunately you actually have to try to find the modem which works perfectly for you on performance, strength and battery drain levels. The good thing is that from my lengthy 8 month experience with Galaxy S2, I'm happy to report that there are a few modems that seem to perform well geographically for most users. These modems are KE7, KH3, KI3, KI4, KL1, LPS, NEKF2, NELP2 & NELP3.


    COMPATIBILITY:

    *Modems do not need to be matched up with firmware like it's done with ROMs and Kernels. For example, a KI4 modem can be used with a KL1 ROM and the other way round. The only thing you need to pay attention to is what model your SGS2 is. 9100 and 9100 modems are compatible across both models. However, 9100 model and US variants are not cross compatible since the devices are designed to work on different bands.


    INSTALLATION:

    *I will add a flashing guide to post number 5 soon, hence why it says "Work in progress.....". For the moment I suggest asking Mr. Google to do a search for you. Bottom line is, for CWM packaged modems you need to be rooted and have a working CWM recovery (flash the CWM modem zip within recovery). For .TAR packages, all you need to do is flash it while your device is in Download Mode and connected to ODIN. The .TAR file should be selected in the PHONE field. Don't touch anything else.


    TESTING:

    *Usually just flashing and then using the same modem for 3-5 days should tell you how well it performs in your are and with you Mobile Network operator. Please remember that it takes around 2-3 days for a Modem to "settle" and achieve optimum performance, so don't judge how good a Modem is straight after flashing. That's where a lot of people fail when asserting battery drain.

    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


    RESULTS:

    Testing done by 3ayachi (Tunisia)
