Is there a way to update just the radio? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Apparently I have the old baseband radio, NJ2, and I'm getting no 3G/4G connection when I'm not connected to wifi. I can still get phone calls and text messages, but that's it. It seems like I need to upgrade to the MF1. Is there a way to update that by itself? I can't seem to find a tutorial on it, or the files itself. Any help would be appreciated.
As a side note, 3G seems to work just fine when I run a Slimkat rom, but not on any of the Lollipop roms.

I would like to know this as well

If someone makes a flashable zip of the modem then yes. Or you can try to make one yourself. But most (myself included) are on nj2 with data working fine. I was using aicp lollipop for months, then PAC lollipop. All good. Now running aicp unofficial marshmallow, still strong 4g lte data.

[Q] Lost LTE after switching to KitKat

I decided to give Kit Kat another try a few days ago, but since then I have not been able to connect to LTE.
Prior to flashing I was running CM10.2 and my LTE was working fine. I initially lost LTE when I flashed PACMAN. I have also tried AOSB/ProBAM and Beanstalk. None of the Kit Kat roms gave me LTE so I gave up and restored CM10.2, but afterward I was still not getting any LTE connection.
I tried flashing the MD4 modem, but that didn't seem to fix anything. I've also heard that going back to stock could help, but I'd rather not have Knox if I don't have to use it. Which stock ROM here on XDA would be the best (Not planning on using the ROM. I just want LTE and then will flash back to Kit Kat)? Would a different modem fix my LTE issues? Is MK3 better than MD4, or are there any newer modems I should try?
Thanks for the help!

Any of the ROMS that have [TW] in the title should work. Full Knox only comes with flashing a tar file in ODIN, because your flashing every partition of the phone. Modified stock ROM zips do not have knox, unless otherwise noted. Make sure to do a prl and profile update when you flash to stock.

Flashed Wicked Sensations last night with the MK3 modem and I seemed to be getting LTE as soon as that booted. Updated my PRL and Profile, and then wiped. Installed AOSB again, and I seemed to be getting LTE until I rebooted. After the first reboot I seem to be stuck in 3G again.
Im currently running AOSB on 2 devices. When I first flashed them, I had the same issue until I rebooted the phone. After that I never had this issue again.

I think that's the opposite of what happened to me. My status bar said I had LTE when I first booted AOSB (this was after flashing/wiping TW). After the first reboot it connected to 3G and I haven't seen the LTE signal since.
I have updated the APNs, but I was using the same APNs for a while and had LTE on CM10.2 with them.

This is something wierd with Kitkat. I do not believe a fix has been found just yet. but if you dial *#*#info#*#* on most phones you can get into the phone systems and turn LTE back on.

There are some other options in there for networks (e.g. TD-SCDMA, CDMA auto). Would any of them help picking up Sprint LTE?
Other options include:
Turn off radio, CellInfoListRate
Turn on IMS registration required
Turn on SMS over IMS
Turn on lte ram dump

KitKat roms are currently having data issues. You could try backing up your current KK rom and go back to Stock, update prl and backup your DNS settings then go back to your backed up KK rom and restore from the dns settings you backed up.

ohhh i had this issue but i figured it out for pacman and most roms just download nova launcher and when you do create a shortcut on nova ad click on setting an it should say apn once there u open it and youll see where it says ehprd something like that click on it and go all the way to the bottom and change where it says bearer to ehrpd and lte should work ^_^
Ok so I finally got it working, although I'm not sure what was wrong with everything in the first place. My buddy said Cyanogenmod screwed up a recent ROM, so maybe that code was in one of the ROMs I was using.
Each time I flashed back to TouchWiz (I ended up using Wicked Sensations) I could get 4G/LTE. I ran a **72786*, did a PRL & profile update. Prior to finding a working ROM, when I went back to BeanStalk/PACMAN I would lose LTE. After I found the updated BeanStalk ROM I flashed and it still had LTE! Happy days!
At this point I was able to send MMS somehow, but phone was having problems being recognized by the network. I could connect to LTE but couldn't use the data. After I updated the APNs everything started working again.

[Q] LTE no service when using custom ROMS

I have been unable to use the LTE on my Nexus 7 2013 LTE (Deb).
There is no issue when I reinstall the stock backup, 4G straight away. I have tried PA and CM and each time the device claims there is 'no service'. Occasionally the device receives texts and shows full signal but never connects with the internet.
I am certainly using the correct ROM version. Everything else works perfectly.
Baseband:
DEB-G00_2.42.0_1204
Android
4.4.4
Can anybody help me fix this issue? I don't want to go back to stock.
Why don't you want to go back to stock? What does a custom ROM give you that Xposed and GravityBox don't other than bugs?

My phone gets really bad reception everywhere with 3rd party ROM.

I've got the T-Mobile M919 S4 and I have a 4.4.4 ROM on it (Insane Hybrid).
I've got the latest NK2 Baseband and I also don't want to upgrade to Lollipop since I did before and it was lag lag lag lag lag after a week or so.
I've noticed recently that it is getting very poor reception.
My buddy's S3 will have two bars and mine will show no service. Or it'll have bars but no data service. Or I won't be able to call out.
There also seems to be an unusual amount of spots where I have no service.
When I do have service, the data can get really really slow.
My GPS lock also frequently gets lost during navigation.
Any ideas? Do I need to flash a kernal, modem, or radio or something? Which ones?

Try updating your baseband. That sometimes solves it. Here's the link:

Thanks, I'll give those a shot. I'm going to flash this and see what happens:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...stock-base-4-4-4-nk2-rooted-deodexed-t2990478
I'm still a bit confused on some of the terminology and what's bundled with what.
- The "modem" is the same as the "radio", right? It's a driver that controls how the device deals with cellular voice and data signals. I can find the version of my modem/radio by looking at the last letters in my "baseband."
- The modem/radio driver is usually bundled with a ROM, right? So the ROM that I flashed above will also update/replace my current modem/radio driver?
- Modem/radio drivers can be separate from the ROM itself. If I use a 4.4.4 rom that has NK2 bundled, I can still flash just a NH4 radio using ODIN onto the old ROM and be ok, right?
- Where does the kernal come in? I'm assuming the kernel is bundled with the ROM and the kernal is only in charge of the switching between cellular and WiFi data, right?
That's the price you pay with custom roms, sometimes your lucky and everything works the way it's supposed to sometimes it doesn't.
Run phone for a day and make sure everything works properly after flashing back to stock before attempting custom again.
If you need your device to function as a reliable phone, making and receiving calls and messages you may have to rely on stock roms.

Mobile data not working +STOCK ROM

Hi everyone,
I have LG G3 d855 (Europe version). I bought it online, not at any network. I had an lollipop update really fast (Poland). Yesterday I rooted the phone, it worked fine, and installed the BlissPop rom. I missed the Quick Circle option though, so today I installed the ChupaChups rom for lollipop. And now my problem: The mobile data connection is not working. I can make calls, send texts, connect via wifi, but the data connection over the network is not working at all. I went back to stock - I downloaded and installed the European version using kdz method, it didn't help, so I did it over LG Flash Tool. It still does not work. Do you have any ideas, what to do with this? I feel like I'm going to cry, I'm very nervous about it, because I use mobile data almost all the time...
Maybe there's something wrong with the modem driver? I really hope someone is able to help me. Thank you in advance!
Edit: Maybe I used the wrong stock rom? I don't even have the option to update to lollipop anymore.

Seems like a modem baseband was flashed somehow.
Flash the modem back to the correct stock version you had and it should fix the problem

Do you know where I can find those modem drivers?
Edit: I checked which version of software I should use with my IMEI no. It's 20h. Would it be enough to flash the stock rom over kdz, or do I have to find somewhere the modem driver for this version? If yes, do you have any idea where can I find it?
Thanks.

Not sure.
I have the G2 and we have these files in our Development Section where you find ROM files etc.
Should be there as flashable zip files in the same section for the G3

Ok, thanks! Last question before I do the final step - I have the ROM I am supposed to have. I rooted the phone, installed TWRP. I've also found the modem driver for my rom. And the question is - how should I flash the driver? Should I mount system or do anything apart from just installing the zip? Should I clear any cache?
@CaPlanePourMoi Wipe the modem partition in Recovery and then just flash the modem zip which will replace it. If that doesn't work, you can go back to BlissPop that includes it's own Modem and install Xposed for 5.1 Super-Alpha and the QuickCircle Mod for AOSP, all 3 of those I'm using with no issues whatsoever!
So I installed the modem driver (20h) yesterday, but it didn't help. I decided to install the BlissPop ROM, and mobile data (with LTE) works just fine. I will go back to the problem on Saturday and keep you up to date. Thanks!
Update
Update: Hey everyone - it seems like I didn't find any solution. I tried to go back to the ROM based on stock again (it was Cloudy this time), but the modem still didn't work. It was acutally working for a few seconds (I had 4G connection), but then again it was lost and it didn't connect anymore. Wifi works fine. Do you have any ideas on how I can flash the modem correctly? And how can I uninstall the modem that I have now in recovery? I didn't do that, because I cannot find this option.
Thanks in advance!

I have a very similar issue
my LG G3 is the D855 on AT&T , and was working fine on Cloudy 2.2 or 2.3 Lolipop without any issues!
All of a sudden last Friday 5/22/2015, mobile data stopped working, but WiFi is still okay.
I just did a full wipe, updated APN, and the issue still there
I haven't change any major things in probably 2 months, not sure what's going on.
Finally, contacted AT&T, and made sure that they remove from the network,a put my back(troubleshooting). As well as changing the sim, and APN, but nothing worked!!
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
UPDATE: So my last attempt, I contacted my provider AT&T, and they requested to try a default APN settings, even though what I used was working fine.
I did, and immediately my mobile data was back!!
Everything is working back as normal, and for some reason the network APN required updating
Did almost the same few days ago! I have finally solved my problem. Here's the explanation:
In Poland we had a network called "Era", a few years ago it was bought by T-Mobile. I searched the internet for T-Mobile APN settings in Poland and it didn't work. I have also found the APN settings for the old network, "Era" and surprisingly it's working. I don't know why T-Mobile settings don't work while they do for other people (and at this point I'm too afraid to ask. )
HI, i have the same problem on my d855 with wind (i'm in italy), i was rooted with custom rom and when i came back to stock i lose data connection. What i have to do? what do u mean for restore default apn? the default of my carrier? or the default for g3?
