[Q] How to know which radio is best for my location - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi there
I have recently flashed a stock 4.0.2 radio, but it seems like im having a lot of problems with it. How to know what radio version i had before i flashed it ? How to know what radio is best for my location ?
Sorry for spamming q&a but i really need this answer
Thanks folx in advance

I don't know how you'd specifically find the radio you did have if you haven't made a note of it. You can find the radio prefixes here, but there isn't one for Serbia.
If you look at this thread you'll find a list in post 2 of all the radios, there is no way to find out which one will specifically work better for you, there is no science to it, you'll just have to flash and test them out. Or find a friend with the same device that has a radio that works well in your area.
Hope this helps.

Thanks mate ! I bought my phone in Hungary, in a mobile shop (no operator or smt).. So i assume that i had
XX---> Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, United Kingdom
XW---> Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Nordic, Spain, United Kingdom

The stock yakju 4.0.1 radio was XXKK1

Can i flash 4.0.1 radio with 4.0.2 rom ?

You can but it won't be as good as with the 4.0.2 one

Yes... Radios are interchangeable. As one of the previous posters mentioned... Just flash radios until you find one that works best or YOU like...

Hi friend.......
First thing is....you are not bricked!!!!
Second thing....this has happened to almost everyone here.......
Third thing......I think I can solve for you.......
Can you go to here, my thread for my own semi-brick:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20687063&postcount=233
It has links for ROM, 2.3.6. [Oh...Oh...dead link]
[I see andy post different link, use that for ODIN flashable package....it's prob I8150XXKK1_I8150OXXKJ6_I8150XXKK1_HOME.tar.md5]
Flash as One Package, Check One Package/Auto Reboot/Protect OPS
You got ODIN, right, and ancora.ops......if not, let us know.
BTW, this is not Romanian ROM. It is Multi-CSC, English OK, no branding from Local Carrier.....in CSC OXX means Multi-CSC, so it's OK and safe.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765032
Here is the description of CSCĀ“s (included country variants):
DBT (Germany specific)
OXA *Multi CSC* (for France, Germany, Italy, Poland, UK, UK & Ireland)
OXE *Multi CSC* (for Baltic, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine)
OXX *Multi CSC* (for Austria, Baltic, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Macedonia, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Switzerland)

You will need to re-root and all the other stuff after this, good practice!!!
And, KIES won't like your new F/W, so phuck KIES......who cares
KJ6 Just means it is 2011-10-v6.....but it is 2.3.6........
KK1 means 2011-11-v1........
Best of luck
I downloaded this rom here http://hotfile.com/dl/136341547/541a9dc/I8150XXKK1_OXXKJ6_COA_Romania_Android_2.3.6.rar.html

Good man....hope we helped.....this is good, nobody is left to struggle alone!!!
BTW, is it ROM with I8150XXKK1_I8150OXXKJ6_I8150XXKK1
OXX means Multi-CSC, which supports many Euro Languages, including English(Ireland)....but without Meteor or EMobile shyte.
CSC = Customer Sales Code or Consumer Software Customisation??
In Phone/PDA:
XX means Region....Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom
KK1 means Year 2011 Month November Revision 1
[Year 2001 = A........Year 2011 = K]...........[Month Jan = A......... Month December = L]

well if its only for one day I suggest to leave it
the XXLA2 runs so much smoother
before installing don't forget to wipe everything

File says XEU.......generic, unbranded UK.......it seems OK!!! on first look.....
But: I8150XXLA2_OXXKL4_XEU_Android_2.3.6.zip
XXLA2....means Phone/PDA F/W
XX Region is Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom and
LA2....means Year 2012, Month Jan, Revision 2
OXXKL4........CSC values are ambiguous???
OXX...........means OXX means unbranded Multi-CSC, which supports many Euro Languages
KL4....means Year 2011, Month November, Revision 4
Which is all OK......
But then there is the XEU....does this refer to CSC also???
As I said, XEU.......generic, unbranded UK CSC.....so, two CSC values.....
But, I think it's just academic, it should not matter!!!
AS for Messages not being sent, you set up the APN's for your provider???
Settings/Wireless and network/Mobile networks/Access Point Names.....maybe important
Who is that, O2, Voda, Tesco????
May be important, as I don't think all Irish Providers are included in the generic CSC xml files, like customer.xml, thers.xml, etc......
Im with meteor. Checked there and few of the settings seem to be different also few more on the phone that are not listed on the website, so going to give them a ring. Flashing the new rom as i type so see if that has any effect

[Q] baseband question

hello, i just got my gsm GNex for tmobile today (ordered from expansys)
and i installed AOKP B29
i noticed that i'm dropping signals time to time because of the baseband XXKK1, i think.
if i'm correct, xx is for the Europe.
I live in east coast of USA with tmobile.
i've looked around, and i found i have couple choices for basebands in USA.
UGKK7
UGKL1
UGLA4
i might missing one or two more.
i was wondering which baseband would be the best choice for me in east coast of USA with tmobile network?
i'm very new to these, please help!!
yes XXKK1 is causing the drops. that radio doesnt function well with 4.0.2+ ROMs.
the BEST radio is to try them all and see what gives you the best performance.
start from the newest to the oldest
my suggestions are to start from: UGLC1, XXLA2, UGLA4
there are many threads of this....
check out the baseband thread in the general setion, theres lots of post there with what you are looking for.
thx for the reply guys.
one more question.
to install radios, i can just flash them in clockworkmod, correct ?

[Q] Best Radio(s) for SEA

I'm from Indonesia and bought my GN several months ago. It was included with the XXKK6 radio (the default for Europe, right?).
Are there any SEAans there (or anyone with experience) using an alternative radio that's suitable for Indonesia? I tried the newest Europe baseband (XXLA2), but ended up having no reception.
Thanks in advance.

If XXKK6 worked then XXLA2 will work, just reboot to try and get signal.
If it came with an XX radio then what you should probably use is XX radios.
You can try other ones if you want to without doing any harm.
Maybe try this. I have seen it help others in similar situations...

[Q] China Baseband needed

Hey guys,
I'm currently in china and I need a chinese (China Mobile) baseband for my gnex (GSM). It should be region code ZC or ZS and for 4.1.2 JB. If someone could extract or point me to a link, it would be greatly appreciated. The CWM one, thanks!
P.S I checked the big stickyed "radio dumps" thread, but couldn't find any.
No such radios.
Is it because the gnex never made the market in china? What radio do you recommend using best? Thanks
No idea.
Try out the radios in the radio thread, see which one works for you.
Just wondering if any new china/hong kong gsm nexus users have any input on the basebands they use? and a questions about basebands itself, would any baseband technically work just that different baseband will yield different signal strengths?

So I can just flash it with UK XEU firmware for a SM-N930F??
Yes. I originally had the United Arab Emirates firmware and went to BTU, XEU now I'm on DTM. Or if you're more comfortable with this.

From my personal experience I've tried various different official stock roms from United Arab Emirates, Germany, UK, Panama, New Zealand, South Africa and Italy. I have not seen any differences in language selection apart from all of them not having English (Canada), and some of them still have the option to charge 80 percent in the second latest update!

I do but its an August firmware (N930FXXU1BPHA) that we cannot use anymore. I've tried flashing it over any September or later updated roms but always get an error on Odin. It's useless if you're on a September or later rom in other words lol. The only way to get back 100% is flash Hydra.

I am new to all this stuff, I also tried to flash older stock rom but got error message, what I got from this is if you find out the way to install older bootloader on your phone then you can flash older stock rom, so far I m looking for that but could not find any guide on this.

I think your modem software is more important to your local region. I had the original english FD version from Singapore and switched to the local F version where I currently live. And my internet speed just tripled. ?

I have the latest firmware and only rooted then flashed TedHD's hybrid 5.1 and now have 100% battery. If interested, you can go to his site and download. It made me so happy I quickly sent donation for his work and thank you note.
