[SGS3-R530M] Modem Repository

[Shabbypenguin]

Hey guys ill be posting all the modems we have here

http://shabbypenguin.com/?developer=MetroPCS_Samsung_SG3(CDMA-White)

Download them and flash in cwm and should write the modem , i can make odin tars if anyone really wants em. ill be updating as time goes on.

now you may be wondering why? sometimes the latest modem isnt always teh best one, different people get better battery or worse, better signal and speeds depending. so test them all very thoroughly and see what works for you

What does this do??

 

[airtioteclint]

How do we know which modem we currently have?

 

[Shabbypenguin]

go to about phone and your baseband you can see the LJ1 or LJ3 in the string

 

[airtioteclint]

Cool. Downloading and testing lj3 now.

like shab said may or may not improve anything usually if it dosn't improve anything probaly fixes a few bugs to make your phone's radio more efficient aka less battery consumption.

 

[Shabbypenguin]

well its hard to say, on teh epic 4g touch some people had better speeds on some of the ics modems, but some experienced loss of signal (your phone goes into airplane mode without letting you know and can only be fixed by reboot) so they were misisng calls/texts. some get better battery on older ones its all per user really hence why im uploading all of tehm that i have so that people can try for themselves and customize their phone how they want

When will you be able to upload the original lj1 modem as the new one made my speeds slower and I would like to flash back. Thank you for everything you do by the way

 

[Shabbypenguin]

[ironlung]

Thank you again shabby, you guys really do rock

 

[AP2FTW]

we dont have to wipe anything before flashing this do we?

 

[mike28]

we dont have to wipe anything before flashing this do we?

Me personally anything I flash I wipe cache and dalvik cache but that's just me

 

[n4zty]

i don't wipe unless its huge system files such as gapps or installing a rom. but dosn't hurt to wipe cache/dalvik.

 

[DrHangman]

Running on LJ3 now. Thanks Shabby.
I had to reboot one more time after flashing to get data working again. Works like a charm. I'll test it out and see if I can find a difference.

Thanks again for making the MetroPCS SIII a real part of the SIII community.

[mike28]

I have LJ1.... do I flash the LJ3 ???

Yes you have to

 

[Shabbypenguin]

Yes you have to

you dont have to, you can be on any modem that you want. sometimes there is a noticable difference, sometimes there isnt its up to you to test
