Updating Baseband from EG22 without Odin?

---

I was running ACS SFR 1.2 for the longest time (about a year I think), and yesterday finally decided to update to CM9. I didn't realize it wouldn't update my baseband at the same time (previous roms always did).

I do have CWM 5.0.2.7 installed, and also have successfully used the multiboot FC09 to update my profile and PRL, however, I realized my baseband in CM9 is still EG22.

Is there a way to update the baseband without having to use Odin and losing my CM9 setup? I guess it's not a huge deal to re-set up everything... but I'm a little pissed that Mybackup root wouldn't let me restore my stuff from the backup I made before updating.... so I had to re-install everything from scratch.

I did see a reference to uprgrade.zip, usable from CWM9, but it seems like you had to be on EL30 or something 1st (diff patch?).

Why not just odin the modem (not a full tar, just the modem itself)? It won't touch the rest of your setup.

Yes use odin to flash just the modem you won't touch your rom setup. Search youtube for qbking77 and find his how to video on updating modems. Takes maybe 4 min.

Ok, I was just confused because everything said I'd have to repartition if I used Odin.

Just leary because the last time I Odin'd I damn near bricked my phone...

Anyway... grabbed the FC09 modem.bin, Odin 1.85, Samsung drivers, installed everything on my work PC...

Powered down phone, plugged in... let windows auto update the drivers for the ports ... Booted into download mode (1 + power). Once the com port showed up, I put the modem.bin in the phone slot of Odin ... hit start ... about a minute later... phone rebooted and I now have FC09

Thanks!

Only very few ROMs that did a very specific check could update modems. This was done by using the delta modem provided in the update zip. So you HAD to be on EB13 modem to have the ROM update you to EC05 and that was the only situation supported. There is no way to flash a full modem.bin on the Epic without Heimdall or Odin. There are flashable deltas from EI22 to EL30 and another from EL30 to FC09 but you will need to flash them with the BML CWM temp boot from sd card.

To OP: Below is a download link for all modems from EC05 to FC09, including deltas. Each phone performs differently depending on modem version, so try them out and see which one works best for you.
