About to embark on the flashing and rooting process after a couple of weeks on stock. Been lookin out for an Aussie radio, so thanks so much for posting this!

Hopefully all goes to plan now...

OP updated - new CWM flashable zips that actually work properly now. Adding mirrors (there soon). Adding additional modems for some other countries I currently have firmware for.

How do you backup your current modem in case something goes wrong after flashing another modem?

Pretty sure TWRP has modem backup in it, not sure about CWM. And/or download the modem zip for your current one. Far as my testing goes, flashing any N7105 modem will not kill signal as the hardware is the same, just may vary in results of speed etc

By international version, I suspect you mean N7105XXALJ5_N7105ZZZALJ5_DNF - it's the only version without a specific country/carrier listed. I don't have it yet, as the links on sammobile seem to be dead for it. If anyone has the file, and can extract the modem & cache files, zip and upload I'll get it going as a flashable modem

Hey how come the files are so big at round 140mb?

There's only a few of the files that size. The reason for the file size is that not only modem.bin requires flashing, but also csc. As csc is being changed too, i've included the language files in system/VODB and system/sipdb folders as well - I figured if you're flashing a specific modem for a specific country, you probably want those files too.

I am working on cut-down versions with just the modem and csc files, it's just a matter of making sure no dependant files are missed for csc.

EDIT: I removed the language files and did a test flash, boot loop. So for now, language files stay :)

DXALJ1 is the modem that came in the latest Singapore release, confirmed I have the latest off sammobile. It is out of the LJ5 release. N7105XXALJ5_N7105OLBALJ1_MM1.zip

This is the m1 rom. But I susppose its the same as singtel. Thanks a lot for the work. Salute!

Cool thanks. I am assuming that best modem for Australia would be Optus one? I am with Telstra but that shouldn't make a difference I imagine.

It is identical to the Singtel one mate - same modem, same file size to the bit :) The one I uploaded was the Singtel one as I had that already extracted, but I checked the M1 against the Singtel and identical

Telstra and Optus utilise the same frequencies for LTE, so should work great on either carrier - as well as Vodafone when they get 4G, as they will be sharing LTE towers with Optus. So in short - should work perfectly :)

That said, just because it's the only Australian modem does not necessarily mean it'll be the best on our networks! Same as the fact the South Africa modem isn't necessarily the best for everyone just because it's the newest. For me personally, I get far better signal/speed out of the optus one than all the other posted ones (tested them all of course) but that's no guarantee someone else in AU will have the same result.

Hey bro, could you tell me how to pull the modem and any necessary files from the stock rom on the phone, I want to make a back up of the one that comes with the phone just in case.

Cheers,
Evil.

Edit: Please and thank-you.
