I thought there wasn't a modem yet?

There's a zip to update to the EK02 modem. You MUST be on the EG30 modem to flash it though.

....meaning if your baseband says EG12 or EG31 then you can't update the modem

Just my 2cents:
I think it would reduce the amount of "What if I'm on EG31" posts if a message was put in the OP saying something like "ONLY EG30, NOT EG31, EG12". Lots of people only read the OP, and it would probably save a lot of headaches if it was made abundantly clear from the beginning. Gotta see it from a non-readers' perspective, "EG31 is an updated EG30 therefore it works".
Otherwise, awesome vid qbking. Your other vids definitely helped me when I first got this phone.

Some of the methods posted in the OP are not only for EG30, you can have the EG31 and EG12 modems for certain videos.

Oh I should've clarified. I mean for flashing just the pulled EK02 modem.

Swype was updated so no more mixing letters like A and I with previous words...haven't noticed a whole lot yet but yes the media hub was also updated as you said.

Damn! They killed the bounce effect. I really like the bounce and I'm not fond of overscroll at all. I guess I'll have to hope for a mod.
Does the updated Swype still have the same theme?

Just updated to stock 2.3.6. Thanks for the info and videos. It really made it easy.

I am currently on stock EG30 and was planning to upgrade to stock EK02. My question is if I can root after I upgrade to EK02, maybe with either of these files:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367971
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1368180
Or should I just go with the pre rooted EK02? I would like to try the stock out first just to make sure everything runs fine before I go rooted. Thanks in advance!

i was rooted on a stock rom can i not be rooted at all???

EL30 is small?

Kinda of a noob here. But I do know ask about cwm and odin.
My question is... Is this update under 30mb? I thought roms are like over 100 mb. Did I download a wrong one? Thank you.

This is a point release. The file is ~20MB in size and contains changed files and scripts to uninstall CIQ. There is a full .tar for this release somewhere within Samsung and Sprint, but not leaked yet.

And probably won't be for some time if the lack of EI22 tar is any indication. This is just a maintenance update not a major upgrade.

Not that I have the Verizon Nexus .. but yeah its coming out... it was updated and it seems another user got the update as well. =]
- Galaxy Nexus

I hope someone can post the radios as flashable zip. Gotta be patient hehe

I guess if u clear the Google services framework within app and press check for update... perhaps it'll work =]… if it doesn't the first time.. try 10 more times. It will say last checked on 1969 ... disregard that
- Galaxy Nexus

Looks like it is rolling out (or at least starting to).
For anyone who has received it, would you mind looking in the log files in /cache/recovery and try and find the name of the update file (ending in .zip) please and post it in this thread. Thanks.

Just reading through the comments on the article, seems a couple people are getting (Much) better signal strength. Whatever they did it seems to have worked! (Maybe they just poured butter all over the radio code?)

Potentially! Are they comparing them to the leaked 4.0.4 radios? Doubtful since they upgraded and were presumably on 4.0.2 lol.
Either way, someone needs to find the images and make a flashable zip. I need something to do at work, nah mean?

So if I am running Liquid (4.04) will all I have to do is flash the new radios once they are available?
Sorry for the noob question. Just got my nexus last week and new to the flashing scene.

Yes. Radios are compatible with pretty much anything. They are separate from the rom, and do not even "stick" with a nandroid.

OK I'm running the leaked 4.0.4... I'll have to revert to 4.0.2 yo receive this correct? And I installed Franco's kernel last night. Anywhere I can pick up stock kernel?

Just use a tool like Wugs or the GNEX toolkit to relock and unroot.

I am biting the bullet and flashing back to stock to try and capture it.
Don't hold your breath of course. The only reason I put any merit in this is one of the radio versions is listed in AOSP.

i actually love my rooted 4.0.4 and my hybrid radio... like others id be more interested in the actual OFFICAL radio...

No need to "un-root", and no need to re-lock. Makes no difference.

No, you are right -- you can't receive the update with a custom ROM, but a rooted stock ROM is perfectly fine. Bootloader lock/unlock makes no difference.

Updating my Radios?

Ok, forgive my noobness...
I am on AOKP MS5 with Franco Kernel MS3. But, I am on the IMM30B radios (I think - baseband says I515.09 V.FA02 / I515.FA02).
I would like to upgrade to the IMM76K radios (FC05 / FC05). But, how do I do this? I know I can just flash them like any other update, but I read somewhere that it only works if coming from the 4.0.2 radios. Is that true? Do I need to downgrade to 4.0.2 radios before upgrading to the 76K 4.0.4 or can I go from 30B 4.0.4 to 76K?
Also, are the MD5 sums different for each file? I hear people saying to check the MD5 values, but they are all different. Does that mean they are actually different versions of the radios, or are MD5 values just a unique identifier for the file?
Thanks for any help!

I came from the fa02 radios too- no problems at all- just flash in cwm. the CDMA one takes a while to flash, so don't panic The md5 is a digital signature to make sure your downloaded copy is the exact same file (not corrupted) as the original, so your md5 should match the one provided by the op exactly.

What about the MD5 values? Are all the 4.0.4 76K radio packages the same thing, even though the MD5 values are different?

As I understand it, they are not all created equal. Some are upgrades from certain existing radios (may not be 100% accurate here). Anyhow, I know this one is a full radio update: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630438
I've used this one on AOKP M5 and the same radio you're on, so that one should work for you.

[OTA Update] Touchwiz 4.3 T-Mobile NOW available! MJC.

So my mother's non-rooted stock UVDMD5 S3 was sitting there and mobile background said update checker used 3 kb, so I checked the update checker and a 527.00 MB file started downloading. Just a heads up, is it the new download?
Edit 1 : Confirmed, this is Android 4.3 official.

Edit 2 : @DocHoliday77 has confirmed this actual OTA is ONLY for the SGH-T999..if you don't have one (you won't get the OTA) but DO NOT FLASH OR ATTEMPT TO FLASH ANY ODIN FILES!
Edit 3 : This has KNOX. Proceed at caution.
Edit 4 : have you ever been to jail? No? Me either. But if I had to picture it this update is much like it. Still to Docs leak thread or AOSP but don't touch this with a fine toothcomb if you want to root and later downgrade.

One way to find out, I suppose. I'm not currently rooted, the phone's bone-stock. Saw the download and immediately came here to see what was going on. Under 30 megs remaining.

check samfirmware...theres an update with over 800 mb

I guess that's a confirmation. Any issues? The AT&T version was riddled with problems.
Edit- Confirmed. Kernel version 3.0.31-1962493, Produced October 31.

According to Kies the update is MJC so its probably the same or similar to leak version DOC post .

seriously though, this is awesome! im bout to download in a min. will then upload to AFH so you guys dont have to wait on that blazing fast Hotfile!

but yes, its the same as my leaked build, can anyone confirm if i was correct and knox is NOT included?

Ok, something important to be aware of. From piecing information together from users around these and other forums, it appears just about everyone who had problems with the 4.3 update had updated via OTA. So if you choose to update this way, please let us know how things go. But if you do experience problems, DONT PANIC, Grab Your Towel, and start downloading the Odin flashable full firmware update.
This of course will include the T-Mobile kernel. I am 90% certain that the reason WiFi did not work with the leaked kernel is because we did not flash the full firmware update. I believe the WiFi modules needed to be built into the bootloader (likely the aboot partition to be exact). This is what I was attempting to confirm when I bricked my phone. So by flashing the full firmware/OTA update, you should have a fully working build, including WiFi if I am correct.
Aside from this, I would suggest reading through some of my posts in the leaked Rom threads. This is the same build that was leaked to us a week or so ago. Do let me know how things are going, I wish I could join you guys in the discovery phase of this "official" version, but I seriously doubt that other than the kernel working, and Knox likely being left out, it will be any different from what we have been using.
I do not see any reason you should not be able to root, but I will get an insecure kernel posted asap. As soon as my download finishes. In the meantime, if anyone wants the insecure kernel from the leaked build, it should be exactly the same one. Download here:
UVUEMJC_Insecure_kernel.zip
Hope everything goes well, and I am still here to help!

a root66 version will be coming soon. These have always been released within a day of us getting a new official release. Please be patient though, as I don't think mrRobinson has the S3 anymore. I will send him the download link as soon as I have it posted on my AFH account.
If he cannot get to it, i will do my best to get you guys a root66 build asap. But again, please be patient.
---------- Post added at 10:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 AM ----------
You know, I have to be honest....I was hoping to be wrong about the latest leak becoming our official build! Was hoping they would update one more test build first, then we would have had another kernel/modem/build......oh well! I must say that I am quite surprised they went through with our release so quickly!
Someone must be watching us......

Thanks Doc, I'm in no rush.
Thanks for all your help, great appreciated.

oh, one more thing. if updating via ota, try Voodoo OTA Roitkeeper from the store. its worked in the past to preserve root.
and can someone pull the ota before applying it, and upload it for me please?
look in /data/fota, /data/temp, /cache/fota
its there somewhere, just cant remember for certain.
