[BASEBAND] Collection of Basebands for GT-I8730/T Models

[nunopenim]

Hello everyone. I came up with the idea of making a colletion of basebands for I8730/T Models. I already have some installers scripted, with the basebands we most use. These zip files are flashable using a custom recovery You can expect some Odin flashable archives too sometime, as they are easier to make

I recommend using TWRP that you can find here (Now it is officially supported -> try this one)

Many thanks to @kotzir for this amazing version, I do not take credit of making TWRP, all goes to @kotzir

I8730:
I8730XWAMK1 (Our CM project is based on this one)
I8730XWANE1 (The last one ever made, also works with CM Project)
I8730XWAMC2
I8730XWAMD1
I8730XWAMI1
I8730XXAMB8
I8730XWAMB7

I8730T:
I8730TDUAMD2 (The only made for this phone, for Vodafone Australia)

Odin Flashable (with Bootloader updates) - These include bootloader pieces, and in my tests they didn't increase binary count
I8730XWAMK1 (Our CM project is based on this one)
I8730XWANE1 (The last one ever made, also works with CM Project)
These are flashed in PDA (or AP) button of Odin, not Bootloader button. If you do this in bootloader button, you will brick your phone

Custom Odin version for our phone -> here

I need your help, post the baseband you want me to make a zip installer. Thank you

Hey, I'm using CM 11 on my GT-I8730, the messages and phone calls are allright but I'm having problems with my GPS. Do you think that installing a baseband would be useful? If yes do I need to wipe my data and everything before installing it or I can install it without wiping anything? And which baseband would be the best?

Thanks a lot for the good work

Not really... Basebands are only radio images for the cellular data, not even wifi uses them. You can try to do it
I will recommend I8730XWAMK1, the first one on the list

Our roms are made for I8730XWAMK1, I know some brazilian users who flashed I8730XWAMK1 and can get it to run there. I know that most European countries share similar basebands. Baseband is just a "firmware" for the cell phone radio (not FM radio, but cellular data radio). Flash it, you can flash it before the rom, between rom and gapps, or after. It doesnt really matter, since it is a different part of phone But before flashing, please tell me your current baseband, so I can make an installer for it, in case something goes wrong

Um abraço

Great to know. Do you have good cell service and mobile data?

Yes, everything working perfect.

Uma dúvida.A doubt. There is the possibility of installing the factory GPS software? Because the GPS is giving errors.

The GPS has nothing to do with Basebands. This is part of integration in the ROM, if you are using Ressurection Remix like me, GPS never worked. In CM13 builds, GPS worked before 08/07/2016, I believe

Bootloaders

Released I8730XWAMK1 and I8730XWANE1 odin tarballs. These include bootloader files and they don't increase flash counts You can update your bootloader, but this will also update your baseband, so be careful

I understand the I8730XWAMK1 is recommended to get rid of the "Fast sound" issue, but is it not specific to some region(s)?
I'm in the Netherlands (Western Europe), does that matter?

You can use I8730XWANE1. Works the same way.

I am from germany and just freshly installed TWRP v3.0.2 and Nightly 20170328. I have problems with calling. Echoes and everyone including myself have a very very deep voice, almost like a devil. Does any of these fix my problem?

Pardon for very late reply, yes they do fix the problem. I8730XWANE1 or I8730XWAMK1 should work fine.

Hey guys!

I am a happy user of CM13 on our phone, everything is working fine, thanks for all the great efforts!
However, when I try to switch to the new LineageOS system, the voice during calls will get az echo effect and also the mobile data connection is not working. I've flashed several baseband images (including I8730XWAMK1 and I8730XWANE1), even unrelated ones, but no success. Now I'm on CM13 with I8730XWAMK1, and it is perfect. I am from Hungary on the carrier named Telenor.
I would be very happy to use the latest LineageOS on my phone, but this annoying thing prevents me from it.
Do you have any clue about this?

Cheers!
