Upgrading from an Admire so I have some experience here and there but I looking into this device i keep seeing something about a modemst backup zip yet i cant find the thread on it no matter how hard i look. can anyone point on there and explain why the need to use and why it has to be used?

Im by no means a noob, I know that better than most :rolleyes:

anyways I just wanted to know, plus i dont think ill be needing it since I dont think im gonna flash roms on my motion. id rather wait till the bootloader is unlocked and thats if it is unlocked. if i want o flash roms id just flash them on my old phone and play around :D just plan to root and put the soft keys and ctr shut off effect on this phone
 
The whole reason I made the modemst backup scripts is because I was experimenting a lot with radio / ril settings for my version of CM10, trying to get 4G working and stuff.

At some point I did something that killed my radio, my PRL was not showing, baseband said unknown, could not make calls, nothing.

I did the Sammy unbrick a few times, wipe setting, could not get it working at all.


I always dump all the partitions of phones that I mess with before I start messing with them, and I had found that restoring the 2 modemst partitions fixed my problem, and radio started working again

So I said to myself, if people are going to be installing my CM10 and messing with things to try to get 4G working, they should probably be backing up these 2 partitions, just in case they mess up something the way I did, so I made the script.

I think these 2 partitions contain the PRL and NAM programming stuff

Anyway, it is just an option
