Root FF27(Boost)FG11(Sprint) Baseband Manual Update

Just did this update today.

Thanks to all involved, much appreciated.

Verified with speed test .net my DL/UL speed is the same as before, but my PING is much better. I was getting >200ms all the time, now I'm under 150ms consistently. I even got a 72ms on one try.

( I play Diablo 3 via tethered internet on my laptop at work :D )
 
Ok so I had a tiff some where else on the site and the result is Im on probation. No post edit.

So for now this will be here sorry for the inconvenience.

Follow the instructions in post #2 of this thread. Obviously you need to change the file name in Terminal Emulator instructions to the name of this file.

Aside from previous thanks would like to thank xaelith for testing this.

niteNarmor deserves a slap on the back and a big thanks. He flashed back to stock and did the ota then had to reroot restore his phone so we could get this file.

As before this is free to use for what ever use you have. No worries about crediting me if you use it in a release.
 
this worked fine on boost and took only 5 minutes, thanks much!

but dudes, i get like 600ms ping consistently, and slow download speeds when tethered ;(

is this normal?

No most people have experienced a speed up or at least (in my case) a more stable speed with a lot faster ping time.

Im tethered via pdanet and using 3g with 3bars I hit a ping of 175ms and 920kbps DL / 500kbps UL and for some reason it bounced me off a server 1000 miles away in Alendale Mi.

Try a battery pull to wipe the cache.
 
I've done everything as shown to no success.I have a Galaxy Prevail that somehow lost it's Baseband and hardware versions. I've flashed different roms, Basebands ff27 and fc29. Nothing worked. Any ideas on how I can Get the phoneback in working order. I noticed that my boot sound was gone along with all the rest of the sounds. It only vibrates. Thanks in advance.:confused:

This forum and those basebands are for the Samsung Transform Ultra. If you a a Prevail you should not be flashing these!!!!!!

The forum for your phone is located here: Samsung Galaxy Prevail - Android Forums
 
My Boost Transform Ultra is on FC29 baseband but is flashed to Virgin Mobile USA and everything works but MMS(which I'm sure needs a ROM fix to get it working) so....are there any gurus out there who would know if flashing a different baseband would make any difference? Note: I got a Sprint error 16 that I had to call in to get fixed before the phone's voice and data started working.

I'm no guru, but I have both the Boost FF27 and Sprint FG11 basebands as flashable zips for CWM if you wanted to give them a try. Worst-case scenario as far as I know, 3G will be spotty. The Sprint one is from my phone immediately after the FG11 update rolled out, and has worked flawlessly for me.

EDIT: Just flashed the Boost baseband on my Sprint TU, and everything works just fine. Service is a little slow, but that's not the baseband's fault. Anyway, I tested the market, browser, phone, sms and mms and it all worked as it should. :)
 
For bads3ctor, and anyone else wanting a CWM-flashable zip of the latest basebands, here they are:

Boost FF27

Sprint FG11

If anyone would like me to make a zip of any of the other basebands, all I need is the .bak or .img file, and I'll whip it up for them. :)
