Nexus Radios
Leaked 4.03 radios and bootloader
http://www.mediafire.com/?m1wq3xeztmckzua
CDMA Version - EK06 LTE Version - EK04 Bootloader Version - PRIMEKL01
This must be flashed using clockwork recovery!
Will work with 4.02 and 4.03
They take awhile to flash so be patient

Hopefully the 3g/4g handoff and the signal quality...had more dropped calls with this phone than any other I have ever had on vzw.
Do we just flash the entire zip in CWR? Does this address the service issues?

Thanks and thanked...
i have a nandroid backup already, might as well try this.
will report back.
my current signal strength in the spot i am in is -93dBm 2 asu
I sometimes get 1 bar of 4g without moving.

Just flash the zip file in CWR. You will just have try them to see if they benefit you.

This is my first pure google phone so this may be more of a motorola question but does flashing leaked radios throw us off the upgrade path? Is there even such a thing as a uograde path on a nexus?
Getting slower speed tests after the upgrade. I'll keep testing... someone else try too please
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Downloads are faster uploads slower which is fine I don't need 20 mbps upstream.

You will be fine. You can flash what you need when you want to..
Woohoo! Hopefully better radios! Can't stand the current ones.
Much better so far here, consistently seeing 3 bars now instead of 2, dbm seems to have dropped average about 10 and connectivity seems quicker ... thank you
This is my first Google phone seems flashing radios is different because this phone is so open on my Thunderbolt i flash radios in bootloader . Oh how i love my Nexus .
All I know is it is definitely not worse than the previous radio
Update from my phone: I get a solid 1 more bar of signal for 4G.
My steps:
1. Flash radios
2. Do the *22899
3. Wait 60 seconds or more til it finishes

I do this post today because I discovered this radio, flash it in CWM recovery and I have awesome results with it in download and upload, stability, and more...
It's not originally for the I9250-model, but for Japanese NTT Docomo Galaxy Nexus (SC-04D), which should contain the same hardware.
It works...Test it...Enjoy...

Works here indeed.
Do we know anything about when this release was created?
My GNex is GSM, VODAFONE FRANCE, and this radio boost really my connection, that's really awesome ! When I go to the countryside, after with edge reception, now 3g @ 1200 kbps down !
In my home, after 2200 kbps down max, now 2900 kbps down, fantastic !

Works good for me 3/4 3G all the time, with KK1 i had 1/4 or even Edge.. and i also lost my connection dropping all the time with Android 4.0.3 and KK1
I don't lie, I think you see that, lol... Happy to share this very good baseband...

I tried this one out for me:
Ping dropped from 130 to 90 and data was extremely stable with 2 bars stable like you normally see with Wi-Fi.
The rest can say.

You should upgrade to the KL1 radio, kk1 is old.

Now on this one (compared to the kl1): ping slightly faster, download horrendously slower (0, 57 mbps - kl1 gives me 2,3 mbps), upload more or less the same. Back to kl1 for me..
Tested at the exact spot & on full signal. o2 Germany
To Vangelis13 :
I'm very surprised by your results for this radio, I've try before KL1, good radio but the best for me is SC04DOMKKD, after one week of try for both...

I just ordered my sprint galaxy nexus and I'm curious as to whether current cdma ROMS (cooked for the Verizon galaxy nexus) will work as is our will need to be ported?
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
I would think so, because most ROMs/kernels (that I've seen) are compatible between the GSM and CDMA Nexus phones, so I would think it would be the same for the Sprint version. But I'm not a dev, so I'm not 100% on that.

The rom's are different versions...not the same that can be flashed for either.
And no, they won't be compatible from what I've heard.

If the device repo on AOSP is correct and complete, they will indeed be compatible.
No the Verizon galaxy nexus usually needs a different from than the GSM version

Without going into too much detail, how would they be compatible when they use different radios and towers and such? Especially when sprint launches their LTE in like 2020 or so. I would also assume that we would be able to use the same hotspot hack as well? I don't know how roms work, I just know I like them

Because when you flash a ROM, you aren't flashing the radio/baseband.

I won't go into much detail. When your Sprint phone roams you're using Verizon's network.

Thats cool. I figured it would be like say a computer and a usb modem. You can have them both but if the computer doesn't have the drivers for the modem it will not recognize the modem.

Yes but LTE doesn't roam.
I thought that also, since these are two different phone (GSM /cmda) it might have different radio frequency?

Verizon and Sprint both use CDMA and LTE. Neither use GSM or HSPA+. They'll be the "same" hardware. The only differences we see now is that they're operating on different frequencies.

The difference between the two will be the hardware lte modem and the baseband software. These are independent of the rom.

I'd imagine there would be a slight amount of tweaking involved still. For example, the ROM includes the build.prop which makes reference to the specific carrier. But whatever the differences are maybe a flashable zip could be easily created to convert ROMs made for the VZW Gnex to the S'G'Nex.

As long as you flash a 4.0.4 rom it'll be fine the AOSP code already has sprint nexus references so it'll run fine. The CDMA development section will encompass Verizon and Sprint nexus

Yet. They don't roam yet. It wouldn't shock me to see Sprint work some kind of agreement with Verizon to get LTE roaming.
So here is my gnex. White international. Was running stock perfectly fine last night. No problem. But I woke up this morning and it wouldn't connect to any network. Tried rebooting tried wipes tried choosing networks. Nothing. And so I kindly showed my nexus the way of the root, unlocked boot loader ect. Flashed aokp. Still nothing. Flashed cm9 nothing. So I'm gonna flash a couple kernels. But I wanna know your opinions. Please and thank you

I have had this phone for about 4 or 5 days. When at my house I get 3g and only about 1 or 2 bars. This happened on my Samsung stratosphere too. Could this be a SIM card issue or hardware. I have read about a lot of people replacing this phone and still getting issues with signal. If I do bring my phone in to a Verizon store to get a sim card do I have to revert my phone to stock? I don't know if I should send my phone back or if where I live is just horrible for data. Sorry for so many questions.

Flash another baseband radio and if you are using custom rom with custom kernel then flash stock galaxy nexus's kernel.

Since it is the case for two phones, then maybe the 3G coverage is not good in your place.
Try asking others living around to confirm if they also suffer the same 3G coverage problem. Also try in another place to see if it still shows a weak signal everywhere or only at your place.
I do get better signals in different areas. Even with the 3g and 1 bar my speeds for browsing are decent but I just was wondering if a sim card or replacement would help. Thanks and I will ask some people

If you would like to try another baseband radio as suggested by manumanfred then this thread should help you if you have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus as it seems

Flashing radios makes a slight, if at all a difference. Your best bet would be to keep calling and complaining to your provider, ive seen some success stories where others have been able to get verizon/att to pay for a 3g extender
Edit:Alright thanks. I think I am just in a bad area and I use wifi at my house anyways. Thanks
I accidentally misread the radio labels. The 4.0.4 did install.

I am not sure that an old radio will perform better than the newer one. Give them a try then choose the one that suits you better

4.0.4 radios are old. Try running something a little newer. I'm using FC04/FC05. Although honestly I don't really see a difference. Most of the time it just adjusts the timings between switching in and out of 4G... which I have disabled.
I would also recommend looking at a cellular booster/repeater. I work underground in the bottom floor of an office complex and we don't get signal from any carrier. We paid like $200 for a repeater and now we're good.
