Hello,
I bought a SGN and 4G was acting really flaky on me, as in even dropping calls. I had No Signal Alert installed and I was loosing connection about every 15-20 mins. In any event, I took it to a VZW store and held my Nexus next to theirs. I dropped connection, theirs didn't.... I exchanged my phone.
Now, I have a new Nexus and it is working great! No drops, speed isn't the best, but I will happily take slower speeds over dropouts. I have not updated this phone to 4.0.2 intentionally because it is working so well. Is there a copy of the 4.0.1 radio anywhere? I don't want to update and be stuck with 4g issues again.
Current baseband is I515.09 V.EK01 / I515.EK02 (4.0.1)
Does the baseband change in 4.0.2? Can someone confirm?
If so, how can we get back to the 4.0.1 radio?
Thanks!
on 4.0.2 mine shows
I515.09 V.EK05/I515.EK02

Thanks man! So I wonder if there is anyway to get an update.zip of the old 4.0.1 baseband/radio?
I don't want to update to 4.0.2 unless I know I can revert back to the old baseband/radio.... I may have to root the phone in 4.0.1 and try to block the update.
I have this strange feeling that the 4g dropping issues were introduced in 4.0.2.
i never got to use mine before the update. im guessing it was updated at the store before i got it. havent had any signal issues on the new one yet.
Yup, a lot of people in various forums complained that signal issues began after upgrading to 4.0.2.
the stock 4.0.1 radio should be in the package for your device here --> http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html#yakju
the GSM 4.0.2 stock image has a new radio image in, so i assume the others do as well.
Well I just tried flashing my LTE Nexus with the 4.0.1 radios and now only wifi works. I'm trying things now and I will report back if anything changes.
Thanks for the link!
In answer to my own question... I upgraded to 4.0.2 and the radio performance appears to be on par with 4.0.1.
This just confirms that my original SGN, which dropped all data and cell connections every 15-20mins had bad hardware. My new phone works fine with 4.0.2 and the same sim.

DO NOT USE THIS PACKAGE ON VERIZON PHONES!
This is the base package for GSM phones, not Verizon's CDMA/LTE phones. Flashing this will cause the radios to become useless until you flash the correct files.
The GSM version is base yakju, while the CDMA/LTE version is mysid.
The radio files you'd want/need are here hxxps://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/mysid-icl53f-factory-65895fa8.tgz (replace hxxp with http).
And if you don't want to take my word on it, here's where I found those files hxxps://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/android-building/pJDz7jxCNkk/hH5q1W6x0iwJ
Hope this helps someone.
Currently, I am using a LTE GNex, and I am eager for the new ICS update...I'm on 4.0.2, and correct me if I'm wrong, GSM users already have 4.0.4 rolling out. What's the dealio?
Thanks to Verizon.
Verizon needs to approve of the update by Google. There's a rumor going around that 4.0.5 is around the corner so Verizon users will get that instead.
I was wondering if some kind person smarter than myself could package the old Leaked CDMA 4.0.4 radio with the new OTA Official LTE 4.0.4 radio please.
I have read nothing but good things about the new LTE radio but my phone no likey the new CDMA radio. Was much worse signal strength and was chewing thru my battery all day until I flashed the old Leaked package.

I'm currently running my Verizon GNex with a JellyBean ROM (mROM v1.5)
I'm still using the radios I was using on ICS - I515.09 V.FC04 / I515.FC05
Are there any newer radios for Verizon? They finally turned on LTE by my house, and ever since I have been getting frequent radio lockups. (A couple times a day)

No. Any cursory search of the site would have shown any number of the other threads about Verizon radios, where it's been continually stated that there are no Jelly Bean radios since there's no official Jelly Bean release.
Hey everybody, I'm just wondering if it is possible to still receive device updates when switching to a new carrier. I switched my Verizon note 4 to cricket not long ago and I saw that someone posted the phone is supposed to receive an update tomorrow so I am just wondering will I still receive it? Or is it something else that I would need to do to update?
Nope, you won't receive ota updates if not on verizon network. However, you can still update your phone using verizon's software assistance on your pc.
