Where can I get the 4.03 update for cdma GNEX?

I need this update as 4.04 wasnt working how I think it should have.

There was 4.0.3 update, and the 4.0.4 update was just a leak (only official for GSM model). The only way to get 4.0.3 is from a custom ROM that was built from 4.0.3 source.

There was never a 4.0.4 leak for CDMA. Only the radio dropped.
4.0.4 is only OFFICIALLY on GSM...but the source dropping means we can rip literally everything from it but the radios on our CDMA version.
Here are two 4.0.4 stock rooted roms.

I can't seem to find any 4.0.3...
But what seems to be the problem that you're having with 4.0.4 that you didn't on 4.0.3?

My issue is volume+ doesnt work.

Just tested.
Works fine with Lean Kernel 3.2.1 stable...as long as the volume increase supposed to be pretty minimal. Never bothered with it before.
Try that?

if the 4.0.4 cdma roms are just official 4.0.4 gsm roms with radios ripped out, what is the difference between those two 4.0.4 roms you linked? also, what radios will I have if i flash one of those two roms in your post? i just got my gnex so i'm on stock 4.0.2 right now. i'm having some issues with my reception dropping and reconnecting after 5-10 seconds quite frequently and i'm not entirely sure what i should be trying to change to remedy the problem.
thanks for the insightful post

I'm not sure of the exact differences besides post date and developer.
Potentially none: Haven't scanned the threads.
These won't change your radios...
Here is a link:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/12864-radiosgalaxy-nexus-all-available-radiosbasebands/
These can be flashed in CWM.
I personally use the 4.0.4's.

You're mistaken. There was indeed a 4.0.4 CDMA leak back in February (Build IMM30B). I have been running said leak since it hit XDA. You had to be completely stock to flash it through stock recovery and it included new radios and a new bootloader.
The 4.0.4 CDMA radios running around were ripped from that same 4.0.4 CDMA leak.

what differences are there between the 4.0.4 CDMA leak youre referring to and the two 4.0.4 roms posted above, if any? is the 4.0.4 CDMA leak youre referring to an update or full ROM like above?

Full rom.
Just not compiled from source.
4.0.4 from source was released much more recently...
And Google provided "hundreds" of bug-fixes with it.
I'd recommend the Google-source base.

quick newbie question i suppose is kinda off topic.. i guess i'd just like some clarification. do the roms themselves contain the radios in them? for instance, if I flashed a custom rom, would my phone's radios be automatically changed to whatever that custom rom dev decided to use in his rom?
additionally, individual radios are also available to swap out without altering roms, correct?

Do I need to be running 4.0.x to run that 4.0.x radio? For example, if I try to run IMM30B, do I need to be on 4.0.4 ROM? also, what do people mean by make sure to check the MD5?
really appreciate all the help!!

No problem at all man.
And no.
Radios are interchangeable.
MD5 checks make sure you got a good download.
For example:
bd63961006aa65e88100017bab2c7fbb
http://synibox.info/synik4l/razorloves/4.0.4Radios.zip
If you download directly on your phone...quite a few applications can verify MD5's.
Root Explorer...Rom Toolbox...Pretty much any file manager.
Most you must long-press the file, and click "properties."
It should pop up a MD5: __________________________.
If it matches, it's safe to flash.
If not...delete it and re-download.
There are also quite a few free MD5 checkers available for your PC if you download on the PC and then transfer.

great will def check before flashing. lastly, my issue is this: i have strong signal where i live (i think its strong anyway, shows up as usually 3bar, never drops below, and a lot of times 4 full bars of 4G) but i notice it just drops all signal for about 5 seconds.. then my bars come back and a few seconds later my 4g bars come back after that.
what exactly is happening to my phone during this process? is this what people are referring to as hand off or is that simply changing between 4g to 3g, or 3g to 2g? is my issue something different, as in just dropping signal altogether?
finally, is there a specific radio you think i should try or could my problem possibly be a ROM problem? i'm on stock out of box 4.0.2 ROM and ICL53F

aokp with rogers s3

I have read the FAQ for the aokp jellybean release, stated it was designed for the att version but I also found a topic about a member who had trouble with his apn settings on his Rogers phone that was on that rom. So my question is can I flash my s3 with that from?

FWIW, I am on Telus and have flashed many iterations of this ROM and have had no problems with APNs / LTE / HSPA+.
In fact for the last week or so an LTE option has been available for Canadian users which makes this ROM the best IMO.
EDIT: you could always make a nandroid backup of you current setup and try AOKP. If something messes up just reload your nandroid.

Hello Naruto! I am a happy AOKP-Rogers user, no problem whatsoever and I have been updating to the latest rom pretty much every day. Just 2 recommendations, get Titanium Back up Pro and ROM Manager. They will make your life sooo easy
3G works well for me
Cheers from Canada!

3G working perfectly for me.. try reflashing or do all your cache wipes and dalvik cache wipes... it should work.

[Q] ROM & Basebrand Compliancy

Hello everyone, new registeree here but I've been lurking for longer than I can remember. Very excellent community here and I'd like to make up for all the thank yous I haven't been able to say to you all from just lurking around for guides and fixes for a lot of my problems. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
I "spider webbed" the screen on my T-Mobile Galaxy S3 SGH T999 that had a baseband version T999UVDLJA. I never had any issues with the phone and loved it to death until the screen broke. I paid the dedictable and had the insurance company send me a replacement immediately. My new S3 came in and I was so excited up until ALL of my calls were dropping. I didn't notice any kind of pattern to the dropped calls, but considering the circumstances I immediately thought hardware issue with the "new" phone they sent me. This "new" device now has a baseband version of T999UVDLJC. So I called T-Mobile and spoke with a tech rep, then transferred to a level 2 tech and pinpointed the issue. The towers in my area are having problems communicating with the UVDLJC but there are no reported incidents with the UVDLJA having communication issues(which explains why I never had this problem with my previous device.)
I did get to briefly experience the new Cyanogen nightly builds before this issue was discovered and fell in love with it. However, until I can get this phone flashed back to the UVDLJA build I will continue to have this drop call issue. Will I have compatibility issues reverting back to the old UVDLJA build and then flashing the Cyanogen nightlly? Is it even possible? If so, can anyone link me to the correct, up-to-date resources to use to get this done?

You can go to Doc Holiday's modem thread stickied in the Dev section and download the LJA modem and flash it. You don't need to flash a ROM to have a different modem. Doc has a map on page 2 of that thread that shows people's entries of their location and modem. I personally use LI7, which was pulled from a leaked JB ROM from a few months ago. That is a far cry from the current LJC that is the latest but it works the best for me.
Moral of the stroy is that you can flash modems all day long and not have to flash ROMs too. That is as long as you have a custom recovery of course.

I am using ClockWork as my recovery. So I'm understanding that the LJA is called the modem, and it will not change when I flash a ROM(such as Cyanogen.) That's great news!
I've determined with T-Mobile that the modem is the issue so at least for now I can use Doc's LJA modem combined with Cyanogen and continue business as usual at least until T-Mobile gets their slow butts out here to fix the communication with the LJC and the towers.

Yes that is correct. The modem stays preserved when you flash a ROM as it is on an entirely different partition. Only time it would change is when you use a full Odin package. This means you can flash Wicked or CM10.1 or PACman or RootBox and your baseband will be left untouched.
Btw, for your first post, I give you a golf clap. Well informed and detailed enough for me to diagnose and answer. Granted you could have searched and found you answer but compared to some of the BS questions we get around here, you are leaps and bounds beyond those. Keep it up and if you've lurked as much as you say, please make sure to help out someone else in their time of need.
Good luck and happy flashing.

Exceptional, this is exactly what I needed to hear after a rough day of overdramatizing with T-Mobile about cancelling my service.
Thank you so much, and I do plan to post regularly and learn as much as I can. I will contribute to the best of my abilities.

Kernels and WiFi

Why do some kernels kill WiFi when flashed. Or is it just a mobile Odin thing
I have also tried to replace the kernel and rezip same issue
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app

Kernels control the hardware functionality. They specify higher-level functions so that the software (Android OS) can properly interact with the hardware. The kernel is what contains the drivers and such that you need for your different radios to work (mobile network [LTE or 3G] and wifi), as well as things like power management and proper boot/shutdown sequences. If its not implemented in the kernel, theres no way any programs can access the higher level functions to get the wifi going, or to get 4G going.
This is also why it's difficult for some devices to get working 4G on android versions past what is officially supported because the 4G drivers have to be written from scratch into the kernel, and they change from version to version. Now its not impossible, but very difficult
Hope that answers your question :thumbup:

Knowing this, does that mean TW kernels are better for writing things like 4G? I don't know how to explain my question, I guess I'm asking if TW kernels are more 'compatible' since they're just stock modifications.

OK the reason I'm asking is because of my port of pure aosp the stock CM kernel will not do WiFi but any other kernel will Lean BMS KT
Why work with one ROM but not another.

No, what I mean is that once its officially released (for this phone it would be Touchwiz), then that can be incorporated into aosp kernels made for that official version for a specific phone. Both (theoretically) run it just as well, theres no compatibility issues in favor or either. But of course, since TW kernels have been engineered for this phone while AOSP has not, AOSP kernels would require a little more hacking to get it to work, hence possibly degrading the quality of 4G or other radios

My guess would be that the paths for different things arent what its expecting, you would have to split the boot.img and diff the files to find out for sure though

Wifi broken
So, on a Sprint Galaxy S3, after rooting first with the unified toolkit and finding that my wifi no longer works, I went back to the stock version and found I still had no wifi. Figuring that it's better to be rooted so I can tweak things, I rerooted using QBKing's method (much easier, by the way). Wifi is still broken. Is there not a fix for this yet?
I've got:
Model#
SPH-L710
Android Version:
4.1.1
Baseband Version:
L710VPBLJ7
Kernel version:
3.0.31-CL616748
[email protected] #1
SMP PREEMPT Sat Dec 1 23:25:55 KST 2012
Build#:
JRO03L.L710VPBLJ7
Hardware Version:
L710.14
Because I'm a quiet one, I'm not allowed to comment in the forum that originally started this and I don't have 10 posts yet. So, here I am - sort of on topic and sort of off topic. But the bottom line is, I need to fix wifi since I'm *always* in roaming and connect to the world through my wifi.
So.
Ideas?? Please.
Thanks!

When you rooted, did you install a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP)? Turn off your phone and boot into recovery and see if it's either of those.
You're currently on an out-of-date system. I don't think that's why you don't have Wifi, but I thik it'd be best if you try the latest and greatest.
If you do have a custom recovery, you can flash the stock rooted rom by Freeza. If you don't have a custom recovery, you'd have to re-root and make sure to follow the instructions (including pulling the battery).
If you need help with how to flash a Rom in a custom Recovery, I wrote this up for a thread earlier.
Hope you get your wifi working.

I guess I'm not sure how to answer your questions. I do have ClockWorkMod (that is what CWM means, right?) on right now, yes.
That page you recommended is over-the-top. There's so many choices, I don't know which one to make! I think I want Odex, just because I'm not a developer at this stage. Because I'm starting out with CWM, do I want this one or that one?

Yes, CWM is ClockWorkMod.
I'd recommend DeOdex Rom, because if it doesn't work, you can still flash mods onto it that might help you out (without reflashing a whole new Rom). If you install the Odex version, you wouldn't be able to flash most mods out there.
I haven't messed around with the "Leaked" build, so I'd personally recommend the latest official, which is the MB1. The link you should be looking for is:
DeOdex:
Sprint Touchwiz Jelly Bean 4.1.2 L710VPBMB1 | Mirror | Mirror 2 (Not yet active)
MD5: 37E1CCCB3A30959C64DF238D0BD2B23C
If you download this file and install it per my previous instructions (that I linked to, make sure to do a Nandroid Backup and to wipe the /system in CWM), Wi-Fi should be working. If it doesn't I might have another thing I'd want you to try, but I'm fairly certain this will do the trick.

THAT worked beautifully. I guess I just needed jellybean. lol. So, I'm rooted, on the latest and greatest, AND I have Wifi! Yae!
Thanks so much for your help!

Why flash 4.3 OTA Baseband ?

I am avoiding the Knox OTA and have flashed OTA based ROM without the new baseband.
While there is a mod with a combination of 4.3 baseband and 4.2 LTE, I would like to know if there is any benefit in doing that - given the problems a number of posters have run into ? The Stock odexed ROM seems to run Ok without.

Here is how you do it. For me I just like having the newest baseband. But, it stands to reason they improve over time. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2544612

I was referring to that thread and was wondering what the benefits of the new baseband might be. Should have also asked if there are no problems with it on 4.3 ROMs, will there be any issues restoring 4.2 nandroids after ODINing the modem?

Their would be no problems if you odined the modems, only if you had the new bootloader.

I think the OP is shooting for an answer to "Does the new baseband improve signal quality" or "MAke the battery last for like a decade" or anything like that.
I have no idea because I've not tried it. But I'd certainly be interested in the answer.

It improved signal on my end. On some ROMs the signal would drop also when the phone goes to sleep and this helps with that too.
One other thing is I'm seeing Lte where I wasn't before (but I don't know if that's because of the modem or they are improving around here).
I don't know about battery life yet though.

I would settle for a year on the battery - lol.
I have not read anything so far that answers this, and there is a mixed bag with respect to issues after flashing only the 4.3 GSM modem. I am more concerned with the latter.
I flashed the "ROM] [STOCK] M919UVUEMK2 | 4.3 | Deodexed | CIQ Free | KNOX Free" with no issues on MDL and ran pretty good. Only issue initially is was not able to get the Wallet Mod to work on it (since it was Deodexed thought it would work, as deodexed is specified in the MOD thread), but no luck. I seems to break NFC - maybe why OP of Omega thread gave up on it.
When this gets sorted out, you might update the OP of your thread, as everyone who does not accept the OTA will have to deal with this.

I have the Wicked ROM v7 with the 4.3 modem and the 4.2.2 LTE installed on my phone. Along with the latest Ktoonsez kernel, I've notice a decent improvement on my mobile signal. My Wi-Fi signal works as well without any issues. I recommend that you try it and see what results you get.
