It should work on tw roms using the new base. Not sure about roms based on the older base.

As I said earlier. If you want to tinker PM me for the link.

I'm not posting it here because I don't want to deal with the fallout and multitude of people complaining that it doesn't work right with XYZ rom and asking how to revert. I had it up for half an hour before and it generated ~40 PMs

Yes.

It's as confusing as possible, since when you flash in Odin, you select "Phone" to flash the "modem" file (which to many of us is a "radio.")

I got hung up on that one too

noobnl · Jul 18, 2013

you need to make a build based on that review
try this with the hlos + modem

noobnl: i need a test build with me7 modem and hlos img
[10:45am] noobnl: test and confirm the modem breaks your call audio in cm
[10:45am] noobnl: then install my experimental

I thought this too would work, but I tried flashing both the modem and the NON-HLOS.bin. Then I flashed I545VRUAME7. Wifi worked but I had no audio...

I tried the test build on the new me7 modem and hlos.img. No Audio and the phone kept crashing...

sdsurferbob · Jul 19, 2013

To revert to MDK, do we need to flash the whole revert file as an MD5? Or can I extract the modem file and just flash it, same as I did the ME7?

My thought being if I didn't flash any updated HLOS to update, do I have to flash it as part of the revert file?

EDIT: arcanexvi answered this for me in IRC, which was yes. I flashed only the modem.bin of the MDK revert package this morning and everything went perfectly

nicholi2789 · Jul 19, 2013

So I thought I would give this a try last night. I flashed the modem.bin. I can confirm that it does indeed maintain a more stable 4G signal. Though it seems to sacrifice signal strength to keep you in 4G. In places where my 4G signal would be about -85 dbm it's now about 110. But I get it in places that I didn't previously get it. Like my back porch was always 3G only, but now I get 2 bars of 4G consistently. It very rarely drops to 3G anymore.
On another note though I am getting noticeable battery drain. I was getting killer battery life with Beans build 5 and it's stock kernel. But now I'm dropping battery like nobody's business. It seems it's using more juice to maintain that 4G signal instead of dropping to 3G again. I think I will flash the revert.

I can confrim this also about battery drain at least. All was fixed with reverting back to previous radio

krazykevin76 · Jul 19, 2013

Could you use something like juice defender to turn the radio off when you are not using the phone. would this help the battery drain issue? The better 4G coverage sounds nice at the sacrifice of a little speed but I don't know if I would like the battery drain

brizey · Jul 19, 2013

All a matter of circumstance. I dig the more solid 4g. I haven't noticed any drops in speed. And I never even come close to draining the battery. I have a wireless charger at my desk at work. A lot of times I leave for home with a 100% charge, lol. And I have a 12000 mAh power bank for travel. Never understood why people don't charge at work then ***** about battery life.

Well, some of us can't charge at work for one, and two, I'm not at work 24/7 or near a charger hardly every. Might as well have a land line if you gonna always be by a charger. Battery life means more to some than you. And if my battery life sucks, I'll *****.

manofcolombia · Jul 20, 2013

My battery life is fine... Granted I'm on chronic kernel but still oc to 2.1 and getting 16 hours with 5 hours on screen time

I am stuck with the same issue but this after flashing Beans ME7 OTA pre rooted.

Doesn't have to do with the radio. The hlos file handles wifi which I'm sure you haven't flashed otherwise you wouldn't have audio.

Full wipe and re-flash your ROM, it fixed it for me.

Not entirely sure what the problem was, I only flashed the modem and on the next boot, wifi didn't work, downgraded and did a full wipe and that did the trick.

What do you mean you downgraded?
