How would we measure objectively, coverage/speed differences between what we have the old and new radios?

I guess bandwidth speed test app? Anything else?

Sweet. Maybe I'll get better signal. My voice/1x reception has been worse than my old dx. I'm dropping calls left and right. I also live in the middle of BFE.

how is baseband/radio affected when we flash something else with cwm or with Odin? I mean, I have stock rooted w. b00stedv.002, but if I flash aokp or cm, will it replace this new radio with whatever one is included with them?

Slightly OT, I remember on the dx, if you wanted to sbf without the radio you did it with Linux, otherwise with moto's rsdlite.

Will this wipe data/swap us back to a stockish rom?

These are packaged for flashing with Odin. Flash in the PDA section.

I will not promise anything as far as faster speeds or better coverage.

IMPORTANT:
Do not unplug while this is happening, unless you are in dire need of a paperweight.
Odin tends to seem like it hangs for a short bit toward the end of the flash. Be patient, it will finish and automatically reboot.


Latest one on top.

very good idea these are amaazing.. any idea if the new radio plays nicer with installs etc.. as the old one has more or less everyone with no service here and there.. or globally roaming :/

im on cm10 after all the audio commits etc it seems like the most stable rom other than stock, beats aokp or cm9 right now imho, no data drops etc

So...This is just the new baseband right?

So should be able to flash with custom recovery/rom etc?

this is my first samsung device so not looking for a brick.

I'm stuck at this screen, its been doing it for about 10 min. is it ok to unplug and start over?

Did you verify the MD5 before flashing?
