Yes, I've searched.... I know I've seen a zip file of just the new radio somewhere, but for the life of me, I can't find it again, and I've been searching for a couple days now. Can someone give me a hand and link me to just the 4.0.3 radio? If I don't get my Galaxy Nexus signal improved, I'm gonna have to return the damn thing.... it's useless in my house right now. Oh yeah, I have the Verizon version, if it matters.
Thanks!

Could you give some more info what radio that is? As far as I know 4.0.3 isn't officially out yet, so I don't think it officially came with a radio. I'm running 4.0.3 with KK6 (which you can find here) and it's working great.
There isn't a 4.0.3 radio, so use XXKK6
There IS, however, the 4.0.3 bootloader. You can find it in the Dev forum
Ahh, ok, sorry for the incorrect terminology. I'm still ramping up on Android-speak. Basically, I just wanted a radio that was newer and hopefully better than the stock Nexus one. Thanks for the link
DO NOT flash those radios in the link as they are for the GSM Galaxy Nexus. You can CWM flash a newer bootloader and radios from this thread in the CDMA Dev section for the Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus.
Missed the Verizon part, good call
Ha, thanks, had figured it out the hard way. I noticed only afterward that the thread was labelled GSM. Interesting note - fastboot won't flash the GSM radio, but CWM will (not that it works when it flashes via CWM obviously).
Should I see a different baseband after I flash those radios? It's the same as it was before I flashed... wanted to make sure I didn't accidentally flash the stock radios.
Thanks,

The radios aren't in a format that fastboot can flash, that is why. They are in CWM zip format.. a fastboot radio will be a .img file
which will be inside the CWM ZIP so it can be extracted

Yes, but the OP implied they tried to flash the cwm zip in fastboot

Yeah, I just extracted the image and used it with fastboot. Anyway... the real question is, how can I tell if I have XXKK6 correctly installed? Should that show up in the baseband? (I ask because it's not).
Thanks.

Im having major signal loss on my Galaxy Nexus with the XXKK1 radio.
Any radio recommendations?
And somehow I messed up my adb on Windows and I cant get it working again, so I need flashable radios.
http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html#yakju
here are all the original factory images.
within them, there is radio as well
in 4.0.2, you will have XXKK6 radio.
I flashed this XXKK6 radio (coming from XXKK1), seems ok so far
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374077
Theres a CWM flashable zip on page 3
Not sure if its compatible with all versions though, im on 4.0.3
Thank you! Tried KK6, and noticed slight better speeds.
What radio is recommended/the best?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Apologies ive posted in general it shouldve been in Q&A sorry, Hi, I updated from 4.0.2 to 4.0.4 stock yesterday but my download and internet speed was terrible, so I flashed android revolution 3.0 and the problem still stayed the same, so this morning I flashed android revolution 2.15 or whatever which is 4.0.2 but my problem still remains??? My download speeds are crap I'm only hitting like 10kbps sometimes???
Now I've looked in about phone and my baseband version is still XXLA2 , is this where my problem is coming from?? If so how do I change it??
Is baseband the kernel/radio???
I wish I knew the answer but just recently got my gnex and am a bit unsure of what to do???
If anyone could help I would be most appreciative
Thank you

The baseband is the radio, I've unlocked my phone and use fastboot to switch between radio versions.

I'm not familiar with flashing the radio outside of fastboot as I've only owned Nexus handsets and always unlocked them, am sure someone will come along and explain what's possible.. Here is a handy list of all the available radios

Yes, you can flash a radio in either fastboot mode, or CWM. See the Baseband sticky here.
P.S. As far as terminology goes (simplified a bit):
baseband = radio image
kernel = boot image
you can flash radios & kernels through clockwork... just download the flashable zip and flash it like if it was a ROM in CWR
Well definitly is not the cpu Settings, i bought Last night setcpu and set it up to 700 mghz and still got Signal issues, apparently IMM76D radios does not work Well with my provider (MOVISTAR venezuela), can anybody point me the right way to replace radios with no data lost, no wipe? Im running 4.0.4 upgraded from 4.0.2 OTA im rooted and bootloader unlocked, im tired of this issue and thinking about going back to 4.0.2... I also need radios compatibles with 4.0.4 IMM76D gsm... Thanks in advance

Assuming you are talking about the GSM version you can find the radio images here. Select one that you know worked fine before.
To flash it you can either flash an update.zip with it in CWM or flash it using "fastboot flash radio radio.img". None of those will do anything to your data.

Hi guys,
I have a backup of an rom I9250XWKK9_user_ITL41F_163575.tar
Before this i flashed a telstra radio using Galaxy Nexus toolkit. Now when i flash the rom or any rom i have the same radio installed (i9250TDVKKX).
Anybody able to tell me how to remove this and install rom again from backup?
I'm only a noob and a its supposed to have XKKK1 radio.
I did restore the rom a couple of times after a Google image restore and after this was restoring from above backup and every time i had different radios when it should be XKK1 lol.
Is there a way to completely wipe the phone and do recovery from cwm from the toolkits via flash technique of not installing cwm from within nexus toolkit. step 6 i think it was.
Cheers
Dan
Flash your backup and then find the xxkk1 radio cmw flashable zip file from the development section radio thread and flash that.

This might help. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24308497&postcount=362
I just installed UGLC1 (the newest right now) and it is working great!
Roms and radios are independent of one another, so flashing a ROM will leave the radio unchanged. What you're seeing, them, it's as it should be.
That being said, I abhor toolkits. It's easy enough to just flash a radio image in Fastboot yourself. Nothing against those that develop them, but so-called all-in-one solutions can easily cause problems for the inexperienced.

This x1,000,000.
Also to the guy recommending the uglc1 radio, aren't they for north America and the xx series radios are for Europe etc and are uncapped?
If the phone came with an xx radio then flash an xx radio.
Preferably XXLA2 which is the newest xx series radio.

That doesn't matter, the only thing that matters is, wich radio works for you, meaning work as for no signal drops, full bars, great speed, if it's for europe or asia or usa or the moon its the least

Thanks for the help guys.
I've found that the best radio for me is the stock telstra one i9250tdvkk6.
Not sure what build that was released for tho.
So I am on Verizon and I see there is an update for the radio in the development section. There are a lot of people that say its an improvement and a few people that say is made matters worse.
My question is if I do the update how do I go back to the original radio?
And if worse come to worse could I just do the "back to stock for replacement/repair" method? Idk if this method manages the radios but any input would help.

Backup your current radio. Do a nandroid backup. Then flash new radio. Just pay attention to the build #. Like mine is jroo3l so that's the radio I'm using. I've never had a issue updating mine.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
If you want to go back to the other radio, just flash it back.
How do I back up radio? Or where do I find my build #s radio?

No it doesn't, but if you have fastboot back to factory then reroot you could use your nandroid to get back where you were.

Edit: misread OP.
custom combination of radios
Some users have reported positive experiences with the 4.0.2 CMDA radio (EK05) and the newest LTE radio (FG02). I'm assuming its not as easy as downloading both the 4.0.2 & 4.1 radios, unzip, remove the cdma radio from the 4.1 folder, copy and paste the 4.0.2 and rezip > flash.
any suggestions on how to go about testing custom combinations of radios?

There are hybrid radios out there where you can just flash them. I went from a factory radio 404 to a hybrid 404 to a hybrid 411. The only real differences I noticed were how long it took to switch between 3g and 4g.
