Looking for a wind 4.3 modem

[nodyarg]

I have a wind t889v, I am stuck on stock after taking a 4.3 OTA update, i rooted and flashed the 4.1.1 modem from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061031 so that i could unlock my phone, but now I am stuck with this old modem since there is no link there for the 4.3 version. Does anyone have a link to the wind t889v 4.3 modem?

EDIT: I am going to try flashing a stock 4.3 wind rom for now, but how can i upload files to my phone? I have installed kies and kies3 but neither seem to detect it, and windows explorer does not show my phones storage. I have had to transfer files through my mega cloud folder in order to get them on my phone, but that is going to be a pain in the ass for a 907mb rom...

And my next question: How do I know what roms are flashable for the t889v after taking that stupid 4.3 update? I found this guide but its for a verizon note 2. I am rooted and I am hoping there is some customized odin flashable firmware for me

all roms are flashable while on the 4.3 bootloader. you will need to install a custom recovery (CWM, TWRP, etc). here is a link to the modem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554226 you can flash this in said recovery

Oh alright, I suppose I can give it a shot. But I have been told its not possible to flash anything other than stock factory 4.3, for example here:

If your phone has factory 4.3 you can not downgrade to a lower version as the KNOX functionality that is built into the 4.3 bootloader will prevent the flashing of a prior version.

You can still root with stock factory 4.3 but you'll need to either trip the KNOX counter or use one of the more involved methods. Is there a reason you are trying to flash such an early version?

I have already rooted with saferoot, can i just flash the recovery and then custom images as normal?

what that is referring to is the bootloader. which currently can not be downgraded. install a custom recovery and you can flash rom zips not images. most roms do not have a bootloader in the zip so there will be no conflict

thanks you were right, i used the unified android toolkit to install twrp and it worked. so can i just flash any rom for the t889? because i believe i read that only touchwiz roms work. if thats true i havent seen many roms that i can use.

N7105, i317, and SGH-T889 ROMs are usually OK. Don't flash another device's modem. There is a whole mess of ROM options out there.

Make certain your APN is correct in other carrier designated ROMs. Don't flash recovery from automated recovery installers as they will not put the correct version in unless you are on a ROM with the correct build prop settings for the SGH-T889 (if your using a Tmo US device).

So I flashed DN3, it was for n7105, its an AROMA installer. I jsut realized that thats what you meant when you said dont flash automated installers. It required that i flash an n7105 modem to complete the installation. Can i fix my build.prop after? How do i flash this rom without using AROMA? aaah

EDIT: I am going to try to flash the wind 4.1.1 t889v over top of this using mobile odin since my modem doesnt work now.

I was more referring to ROM Manager and Goo Manager. ROMs that flash modems are atypical. Usually they leave you with a choice to install one of a couple choices or leave it as is. Sometimes they don't.

You may be able to find the 4.3 modem appropriate to your device around here somewhere. That will work much better than the 4.1.1 if you can get it to stick.

I flashed the wind 4.1.1 modem with mobile odin but i still have a "no network" icon. ill try to find a 4.3 wind modem and flash that. hopefully i havent bricked my modem, i thought this rom would be cross compatible. damn...

EDIT: I used mattlowry's 4.3 wind modem above, but still "no network" icon (the one that looks like a no smoking sign. not really sure what to do now. i was told this rom would work but i guess not. hopefully if i flash back to a t889v firmware i can get my modem working again....
any advice?

You could mobile Odin the stock image from sammobile or the root66 to flash everything but the bootloader. Kies recovery could maybe work. T889V is stubborn with modems IIRC. Teshx had problems with this very problem quite sometime ago IIRC.

This fits in my "this is a problem" category, backup and save your data.

yeah i did some wiping in recovery and managed to soft brick my phone, then using pc odin to flahs a stock image got my phone back to life and showed signal bars again, then i flashed the custom recovery back on. so at least i know i can save my modem when i do this again. i then tried replacing the modem.bin files in the dn3 istall zip with t889v modem.bin files, tried reflashing it with the new modem.bins but it still gives me the no network symbol instead of signal bars.
