Hello,
I have recently flashed TDJ's Darkside Beta2 ROM, and as a prerequisite, I had to upgrade to an ICS modem. The one I tried was UVLC8 ICS RADIO and this seemed to work great until I noticed that I never got a 4G icon for packet data, only 3G. Scanning the thread revealed that people don't have an issue with getting a 4g icon. Further testing revealed that my speed gets capped out at 11Mb/s So I am assuming this radio is really stuck at 3g speeds. Enabling GSM only also doesn't work, I can only use WCDMA only (or auto).
Now this modem and ROM are specifically for the tmobile t989 but I actually have the Telus T989D, and up until recently, I always assumed that the hardware was 100% the same. I read up a little more and found that Telus uses a dual-band for GSM, does anyone know what this is and if Tmobile's network is the same? I am assuming this is preventing 4g speeds.
What I would really like is to use the old KJ8 modem that came with the telus phone, but I think its RIL is incompatible with ICS.. Don't know if Roms flash over this RIL but the modem flash certainly puts one in place.
The only other modem available for ICS is the one from the i727.. I am assuming that trying this is a bad idea? I heard you can easily brick your phone while flashing radios.
Can anyone else make a suggestion on what I can do ? Am I stuck at 3g until someone leaks the Telus modem ?

try using the KJ3 radio that is in the NexusMOD thread.. it's a telus radio and i'm pretty sure it works on ICS
Isn't that a rather risky thing to do... ?

in the thread it gives choices of different rados and it says to flash them over any ICS ROM..
flashing anything is Risky in general

and thats the thrill of flashing i love the feeling after you installed the rom you will be holding your breath hoping it will boot up. lol
Just use the one from the nexusmod thread, because it has the system folder removed. You do not want to flash over the ICS RIL files or it will break signal
altogether.

So can u give me a hint what is the factory radio for t989 so I can reflash it. Or can u give me another radio witch is with better results?
Thanks

I'm on TDJs Dark side Evo2 Beta2 and flashed the recommended LC8 radio and had worse reception then I downloaded the Telus KJ3 radio and removed the system file and flashed and reception hasnt been better.
I'm with T-Mobile by the way.

Same problem here
I'm on T-mobile, and flashed several ICS roms before flashing Darkside Evolution Beta03. As described in the OP, I flashed the UCLV8 radio. Since then, my signal has not been as good as it was before I flashed the new radio. I tried flashing the UVKL1 radio a couple of times, but I had no signal. I flashed cache.wipe and reflashed the UVKL1 radio and still no signal. Next, I tried the Blaze 4G for ICS radio, and phone signal is better, but my data connections are timing out.

Thanks for the file. I see what you meant about the system files that you removed. I ended up restoring a backup from the Malice GB ROM because my ICS backup had a bad MD5 checksum. Maybe this weekend, I'll give it another go.
Please direct me to a thread that explains this if it exists. I am not a newb to flashing but still lack some knowledge about it.
I unlocked my gnex, flashed twrp, flashed superuser, then flash the jan 14th nightly cm10.1 which worked well for me.
Then i decide that i needed to flash a radio for some stupid reason(obviously the wrong one) leading to an endless battle to retrieve my connection.
I used odin to get to ics stock. I am running ics stock and still no service connection. I can see my imei but..... network, mobile network type, my phone number, min, prl version, and iccid are all unknown.
EDIT:
I flashed a different stock rom from odin. Stock ICS. Then flashed the radio that came with it and now..
Voice calls work though i feel like the reception sucks
Sms works great as far as i can tell
4g works great
3g doesnt exist at all.
I think i may just be missing the radio for 3g. (cdma?)
Im afraid of flashing anything before knowing what will actually work but i need 3g.

You can't reflash it with the correct radio?
Radios are device specific. Ga02 are latest from sprint and can be found
in the sprint galaxy nexus sourcery thread. If on GSM find latest in that
that thread. Flash using twrp. I lost connection when trying to flash a
Verizon prl once. Flashed radios then spammed the update profile and
Update prl until I got connected

After getting it mostly working with ics I flashed cm10.1 but did not flash another radio.
This confuses me because i thought i needed an updated radio to go with the updated rom. From ics to 4.2.1.. But instead of needing another radio it worked the same as it did with ics.
Is the ga02 going to be what i need with cm10.1? Also does it work better from fastboot or twrp? Does it matter if i flash a cdma or an lte radio first?
Ga02 is not needed but it's the latest radio.
They all work but different people prefer different radios.
Many are flashable using twrp. Just got to find them.
Also make sure the radios you flash are for your carrier.
Hello all. I bought Galaxy Nexus L700 a few days ago. It was used.
And I have a problem now. After it boot up, I have a message "no SIM-card, No Service" After I change Mobile Network from CDMA to LTE/CDMA and back to CDMA I have a signal. But no 3G.
I know that this issue is available at Verizon Gnex until you insert SIm card. I'm confused because there is no SIM card.
Does anybody know how can i fix it? I tried flash factory image from link above, but with the same result.
Please, help!

You sure? I've flashed just the radio image in the past on an old HTC Evo. I think there are switches in the commands for adb if I'm not mistaken.
OP, are you having the problem where your data connection turns off if you go from 4G to 3G and back?

Probably a mismatch of boot image, firmware, ROM.
Flash Sprint N RUU to restore your radio and IMEI, then start over by installing your other new RUU and make sure to restore the Sprint radio again.

Did you install 2.41.401.3 or 2.41.401.4?
The 2.41.401.3 caused some issues for Netherlands, maybe some other countries also, where IMEI disappeared. 2.41.401.4 fixed it.

You didn't do what I told you. Run STROCK SPRINT RUU NOUGAT.
Then load beta TWRP and ROM of your choice.
Also, you didn't search the sprint radio, a quick search would have led to it, it's posted several places.

After you installed the Nougat RUU, erase the modem1 and modem2 partition manually via fastboot and flash the sprint radio again. See if that helps.

OK, I install the RR Nougat 7.1.1 android version on my htc one m8. I have been using it for a while now without issues,
but just yesterday, my phone had low battery and it turn off.
After restarting the phone, could not connect it to my home country network.
I can't access the carrier settings menu as the 'com.android.phone has stopped' pops up.
I have most tuts on the forum but not much help. Even factory reset does not work.
After factory reset, Sprint apns settings are on the apn setup menu but after i delete them, still can't connect to my home country network carrier.
Please some help here guys.

Then this has nothing to do with APN, since voice service does not rely on APN (APN only applies to data cell service).
A few folks have had this issue of "no SIM" and no service after letting the battery die on the Sprint version M8. But I'm not sure what the solutions is. You may search around, as I know the issue has been posted a couple times recently. I suggested the Sprint RUU for one user. But it inexplicably caused the device to brick.

If s-off, try a lower level (such as kitkat 4.4.2 or 4.4.3) Sprint RUU and see if that helps.
You can only try this with s-off. If s-on, you can't "downgrade" (run older RUU then version presently on the phone) by RUU as it will fail the version check.
Also, don't flash any other carrier version RUU (only Sprint) as doing so with s-off may lead to permanent damage on a Sprint device due to incompatibility (even on a properly working Sprint M8).

The main issue, is that you bought the wrong version for your location. It's my strong opinion, that the Sprint version should never be bought by anyone except those using the US Sprint network. It's intended primarily for the Sprint CDMA network.

Yeah, your probably right, but I learnt that by flashing a new radio (radio frequency in HTC phones directly installs the network carrrier base band) can solve it but can't get the right radio image. Though am not a 100% sure but have tried some radio images but still no result.

If you are talking about radio images from other (non-Sprint) versions of the M8; radio from any other version is not compatible, meaning it won't work with the Sprint version, and can possibly lead to a permanent radio brick. This is for the same reason as I previously cautioned you not to run RUUs for another version M8.
If you are talking about flashing different radios specifically intended for the Sprint M8, that isn't any different from trying the various Sprint M8 RUUs (which install different radio image along with every other partition).
