[Q] Sprint Galaxy Nexus latest/best radios - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hello everyone and happy holidays!
I have a Sprint Galaxy Nexus and I was wondering what is the newest radio and which one is the best radio. I did something to my phone running a ROM and had to flash the factory image 4.1.1 from the GNex TOOLKIT V10.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1614827.
When I look at the settings and radio, I have the baseband version L700.05 V.FC12 / L700.FC.12 and the build number is JRO03U.L700FH05.
My service appears to be fine and working, but I was just curious if I was running the latest radio and which one is the best? I am in Phoenix, AZ so I do not have 4G.
Any help or thoughts on the matter are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

[Q] 4.0.1 to 4.0.4? Engineering model

Hello,
I am new to the Galaxy Nexus and 4.0. I traded for a Nexus and it appears to be a unlocked engineering model currently running 4.0.1
I flashed the newest version of clockwork recovery on and see that the new 4.0.4 for GSM was released today. I am reading a lot of back and forth regarding the compatibility of the release so I figured I would check here before I dig in.
Am I able to simply put the 4.0.4 GSM release on my SD and wipe/flash using Clockwork install from zip? or is there something I am missing.
I don't care about losing all my data. I would appreciate any help guys!
Model Number: Galaxy Nexus (ENGINEERING)
Android Version: 4.0.1
Baseband version: I9250UGKKA
Kernel version: 3.0.1-ga052f63

the 4.0.4 OTA is a upgrade from 4.0.2. you need 4.0.2 as a prequisite and its for "yakju" devices, verify if your device is 'yakju' it says Galaxy Nexus but 'yakjuxw' has Galaxy Nexus.

thanks for the quick reply. Where do I find if this is YAKJU or not, bootloader?

re-read my post.. i included a link to a app that tells you how to find out.
edit: lol you insulted yourself
Looks like I am on yakjuux. Am I able to move to jakju 4.0.2 and then update to 4.0.4?
Sorry for the back and forth I just need to get the various version straight before I start going crazy flashing

Would you mind doing a couple of things before you flash anything please?
1) Could you check the version of your bootloader? Reboot into the bootloader and read it from there. If you have an engineering version, I'd REALLY appreciate a dump before you flash anything over it.
2) Could you dump your radio? If you don't know how to do it, I can guide you through it. You need root.
We haven't been able to get ahold of any engineering bootloaders/radios yet, and it seems you lucked out.
It would be very much appreciated!!! Thanks.
Any news? Can you dump your radio and bootloader for us?

4.0.4 Radio Goes Offline

Hello,
I just decided to flash Cyanogenmod 9 to my phone to get 4.0.4 and noticed that the signal indicator was hollow and had an x in it after waking up. I then abandoned Cyanogenmod 9 and flashed the 4.0.4 stock image to my phone. Now I can't seem to keep the device connected via mobile voice and data and all I seem to be able to do is reboot the device. I am kind of new to the GSM scheme, but the APN list is empty and I can't seem to scan for mobile networks. To me it seems like the radio is completely disabled. Here are the specs, if anyone has any advice I would appreciate it. I am going to try to restore my backup of my previous rom. Alternatively if anyone has the stock radio image for the yakjuxw, I could also just try to restore that. Thank you for reading my post ^_^.

grab the radio of ICL53F from http://code.google.com/intl/en-EN/android/nexus/images.html
that is the same one you had on yakjuxw.
4.0.2
Thank you. About an hour after my post I tried flashing the yakku stock firmware. I appear not to be having the issue on 4.0.2! I have a sneaking suspicion that the problem is the kernel. I base my hypothesis on the fact that 4.0.2 yakju works fine and Cyanogenmod 9 had similar issues with the same baseband. I'm going to try flashing the newer baseband and staying with 4.0.2 to see if it recurs. Thank you again for confirming the yakjuxw used the same baseband as the yakju! This is all new to me and I appreciate the advice.

I'm afraid of you won't learn anything from this. The 4.0.2 ROM(!) is sticked to GSM/CDMA, but 4.0.4 is sticked to WCDMA preferred...
Hello,
I think the problem comes from Android 4.0.4 itself. I have the same problem with a stock 4.0.4 flashed from the factory image provided by Google.
Other people have the same issue and are talking about it here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24304822
Same problem here. After update to 4.0.4 I always lost the cellular signal when screen has gone down. I tried with different radios (xxkk6, xxkl1) but it didn't help. Anytime I move back to 4.0.2, problem disappears.
Originally my Gnex was yakjuxw.
My GN was yakju
Strange.. I suspected until now it is related to the difference of yakju and its variants...

I've checked and my phone is a Yakju, I tweeted a pic when I got it : https://twitter.com/#!/mephissto/media/slideshow?url=http://yfrog.com/kicn0p

[Q] Radios - Included in ROMs or flash separately?

Hello all,
Just upgraded to a Verizon Galaxy Nexus from an Incredible yesterday. Was having a few connectivity issues, so wanted to try running some aftermarket ROMs/radios/etc before I pursued replacing the phone altogether.
I just flashed LiquidSmooth v1.3 (+extras), and was wondering if flashing a 4.0.4 ROM includes updated radios automatically (versus the stock VZW 4.0.2) or if I need to flash these separately from the ROM? I never had any issues with my DInc radios, so never messed with it and thus have no experience.
Is the radio called the "Baseband" in the phone info screen? I feel like it was actually called "radio" on my DInc, so I'm a bit confused. If so, my version is I515.10V.EK05/I515.EK02.
Thanks for any info!

I have a GSM Nexus but i think its the same. Usually roms doesnt have radio when flashed. But u can flash any radio after flashing the rom.
Radio = Baseband. The newest its LC1 (L=2012, C=March)
Im writing this post cause i havent 10. Im new in this forum but not in development Knowledge, and i consider its a stupid rule. Im sorry if i write any Irrelevant post.
Thanks, I will look for a new radio to accompany this ROM.

[Q] best baseband for WIND galaxy nexus jelly bean

Hi
Upgraded to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 using Wugfresh's excellent Toolkit.
Stock baseband that came with the Wind GNex was Android 4.1.1 running UGLH1. After upgrading to 4.1.2 Stock Yakju build, the baseband changes to XXFL1 - which i assume is the same version as ICS.
So far seems reception is fine. Mostly in Toronto North York area I receive 3 bars signal and switching frequently between 3g/HSPA+.
Wondering from fellow Canadian WIND / AWS users if they have experienced any issues using XXFL1 radio baseband on Jelly bean 4.1 or what the best radio to flash is ?
cheers
Mike
Read through this, see what works for others on your carrier in your location. You will get many answers. You will have to test them all to find which one is BEST for YOU. No one else can answer that but you.

New Nexus Just Ariived - Next Steps?

UPS just dropped off my new Galaxy Nexus (didn't want to wait for the new ones, $349 seemed decent, unless it drops a ton, no regrets, don't need the latest and greatest, etc...). I've got a Nexus S I'm going to give to my kid, who's on a RAZR v3 right now. I'm on AT&T US.
I'm familiar with all the advanced Android stuff, running a Nexus 7 with Rasbean Jelly and Franco/Trinity...but I've only done a phone once (the Nexus S) and I had some problems with Baseband showing NO DGS XXXXXX and no signal, but got it working finally by flashing Rasbean and the latest baseband.
I obviously want this to go as smooth as possible. Right now it is at ICS 4.0.4 and I haven't connected it to WiFi yet, or put the Sim in it from the Nexus S. I've written down the IMEI and Baseband (It's not the latest UGLH, but I have that, and the RIL).
Should I unlock/root/recovery (TWRP) and flash Rasbean first, and then stick the SIM in...or should I start it up with the SIM and accept any OTA that comes? Then do the above?
Do I need to call AT&T and give them the new IMEI?
I plan on switching to Straight Talk, and I know I need to put in the IMEI. The ST Sim should be here any day. I'm confused about what IMEI I need to give them when they port over my number...the currently up and running Nexus S that AT&T has in their records, or the GNex (after calling AT&T)?
What steps would you guys do if you were doing the above?
Thanks,
RF

Stay stock and test it out for a bit. That way when you flash a rom and something goes wrong you wont blame the developer for a hardware failure.
I would accept the OTA to get the latest firmware (bootloader, recovery, radio, etc) & I agree with Darunion, stay stock for a little while & make sure everything works before flashing a custom ROM
Ok, connected to WiFi and got pushed JB 4.1.1 JRO03C. Didn't check the bootloader, Radio stayed the same at I9250XXLF1.
RF
Should be another OTA coming to upgrade to 4.1.2 (JZO54K)
Thanks for the help. Went all in, couldn't wait. Rasbean Jelly 4.1.2 UGLH1 Radio and RIL. Running like a top.
Thanks again,
RH

It's always a good idea to use the stock ROM for a while first before you flash a custom ROM. It makes you appreciate the features of the custom ROMs a bit more.
