What's the latest radio baseband - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My baseband version is 4.06.00.12_7.
I bought a used Nexus one online. It had some kind of customized ROM on it. So I flashed it back to original ROM (2.1). However, I only flashed boot.img, system.img, recovery.img. There is one more radio.img I did not flash.
I then updated the system via OTA to 2.2.1. But I am not sure about the radio.img. Do I have to do anything about it? Right now the phone works fine so I don't want to risk anything.
Thanks.

Latest is 5.08. The results with it are mixed, so you can try it, and if you don't like it - flash the 4.06 back.

Officially 5.08 is only available outside the States... why, I don't know. IMO they must have created it for a reason though.

thanks. I think I'll just stick to what it is now.

Some noob questions.

Hey friends.
I have some questions which i can't seem to find the answer to.
1. what's all that deal with SPL? what exactly is that and why do i need to flash it before flashing the radio version? what do i have to watch out from in order to not bricking my phone?
2. I wanted to flash a radio version from ERE36B that was posted on modaco site.
I downloaded the zip, copied to the sdcard, flashed it using the amonra 1.7 recovery. it said that it was successfully flashed but the radio version hadn't changed. what did i do wrong? I wanted to flash using fastboot but there were no .img files posted. only after extracting the zip files there is an img file inside along with some other files that may be important.
3. why are there different versions of superboot for each build? I mean, after I used superboot once and rooted my phone - I won't have to use it ever again.
no?
many thanks and sorry for the long post.
1. SPL stands for Second Program Loader. but you wont have to worry about it on the Nexus One. Its a different story for the G1.
2. If flashing the radio is successful then your baseband should be 4.04.00.03_2. And you might already had that radio if you just recently bought your phone.
3. Superboot version is not different. As long as you flash a rooted version of the rom then you will still retain root. But if you flash back to a stock rom, then you'll lose root. So always use nandroid to backup.
Thanks for the answer
So what exactly are the risks ?
is it possible to brick the nexus one or it's completely impossible?

need N! back to stock with OTA updats. HELP!!

I have been searching for awhile now, and just can't seem to find out what I need. I have a rooted N1 that I was running Kang-O-Roma's Latest Froyo build and Radio on it, but now need to get it back to stock with OTA updates. I flashed a the stock image that I got from the developers section, but still no updates. when the phone downloads an update it just restarts in recovery. I thought I may need to downgrade the radio, but no luck. I baught an Evo and am selling my beloved N1, but the person who baught it wants it completely stock, and able to get updates. he doesn't mind it being rooted if this is possible. Please help.

reboot the phone into bootloader then use the passimg file to return back to stock once this is done it should reboot into 2.1 then leave it alone till u see the update available or use the code to force the update then reboot and it should pop up within a few hours...
The update pops up, It downloads it, it even says what the update includes, but then when it tries to install, it restarts back into recovery mode, and doesnt' install the update. Is the update on the phone somewhere? I still have the froyo radio on the phone, because I cannot find and original Radio update Zip. Adb won't work on my new computer.
Did you get the stock recovery back in there or still using a custom one?
I loaded the stock image found in the developers section under original shipping, but it didn't downgrade the radio. I followed all of the instructions, but still, the update won't install. I have been searching and searching, but still can't come up with a solution.

thanks for all the help, I had flashed the stock ROM, but not the passimg.zip. so even though the rom was right everything else was not. Thanks again. I'll wait to see if I get an update.

no problem hope this works!
Ok, this should be my last question on this subject. under about phone it now says:
Model Number-
Nexus One
Firmware version-
2.1 update 1
Baseband version-
32.26.00.24U_4.04.00.03_2
Kernel version-
2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c2
[email protected] #1
Build number-
EPE76
As I recall EPE76 was a leaked ROM
I tried using 22607-ERD79-update-nexusone-stock-signed.zip and renaming it passimg.zip , but that didn't work. am I OK with the EPE76 build or do I need to get the ERD79 build on there to be?
A: get updates, and
B: truly be stock.
thanks again. I had no problem when I was trying cooked roms and updating radios and stuff. go figure this would be the thing to get me stuck.

@OP
If you're still have problems, this thread has all the files you need in the first post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=614850
I bought my Nexus One off another member here, and he was kind enough to flash back to the original ERD79 before he sent me the phone but he didn't flash the stock recovery.img. I got the update to Froyo almost immediately after I turned the phone on, but it would not install. After flashing the stock recovery.img the OTA installed just fine

go root to 2.2 or 2.1.update 1 first then use it okay..
Now that you mention it I do remember seeing something about that, while I was searching for an answer to this dilemma. Thanks again, I'll let you know.

[Q] Flash to Stock Rom?

Okay, I'm relatively new to Android phones in general, but recently purchased a captivate and absolutely love it. I upgraded to the unofficial leaked version of froyo and am now wanting to try out a custom rom. The issue I'm having is as follows:
I've read that before flashing a custom rom, it is recommended to flash back to the stock rom first. When I tried that, I flashed back to the stock rom (pre OTA update that fixed the 3 buttom recovery mode issue) and was not able to get into recovery mode. I then tried to do the ota update and it kept failing. I then flashed back to the leaked froyo rom via download mode and am basically stuck here. My question is two fold. Does anyone have a link to the stock rom file that has the latest update (I forget the version number) or can I just flash to a new custom rom from the leaked froyo build? Would that build be considered stock?

Don't flash back to stock unless absolutely necessary. Otherwise, it's pointless and just creates additional opportunities for things to mess up and brick your phone. Wiping your data and cache partitions with CWM recovery should be sufficient for a clean ROM install.
As for the stock ROM you're looking for, it depends on your Captivate. If your phone came with JF6 and working button combos, and is an older build (1009 or older), this should work fine: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
If your button combos were disabled, either use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=818439 -OR- the first link followed by installing the OTA update (be careful, as an incomplete OTA update can perma-brick your phone).
If your phone is a build 1010 or came with JH7, the stock ROM you need is JH2. Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36

[Q] No OTA updates, says "up to date" but stuck on 10c

My O2x self bricked after an OTA update (from 10b if I recall correctly). I did not prior to this event flash any other ROM or BB, I just rooted it and everything was working fine. The update downloaded, said it was ready to update, the phone rebooted and then just locked up on "updating software". My friend has an identical P990 and everything went well for him...
I had to reflash the whole phone using USB cable in recovery mode by downloading the 10b stock firmware. After this, the phone won't update itself and if I manually click on the software update it says it's up to date, while my friend received the latest update to 10d. Currently my phone (unbranded) is:
BB v 622 (1035.21_20110622)
kernel 2.6.32.9
Build FRG83G
LGE version LGP990-V10b
Additionally I installed clockworkmod (after bricking) to backup all my phone and then reflashed the stock recovery partition that I found online. Also, I currently can no longer list any "secured" apps from the Android marketplace.
I'd like to bring my phone back to stock situation (which I thought it was) so I downloaded the latest stock (10d) in kdz format from the lg site but before wiping everything again I'd like to know what the hell is going on with my phone and why I see no secured apps and why I get no OTA updates... maybe I can avoid reflashing the phone from scratch.
Thanks for any pointers!
The version of the baseband you are using does not match with the V10B firmware. The update tool then believes you have another firmware version installed.
Thanks for the heads up! What version of baseband should I be using? Or would it be better for me to downgrade the rom? Quicker to change BB I reckon...
i think it is 405 you need to use with 10b
I tried searching for the 405BB but couldn't find it... only the 622 or 725 apparently - does anyone have any link to download the BB aligned to the v10b ROM?
here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070
I flashed 405BB but when I went to download OTA updates it said it wasn't a valid update package after it downloaded it and quit. To fix it I completely flashed stock 10a and did all the updates until 10d and now it has BB 1035.21_20110725.
I have my data.img partition saved with CWM but before restoring it and wiping the stock recovery for CWM I'd like to save it: anyway I can make an img out of the stock recovery partition of this version for safety with adb? As it pulls or pushes files or apks, I was wondering if there was a utility to create a partition image of the stock recovery and save that... I found a stock recovery img but I don't know if the image is up to date with this version (10d).
Thanks for the help!

[q] sooo confused!!

hi people, this is my first post, so please be nice!
i've had the galaxy s and it's been rooted for a while, with a custom MIUI rom installed (not sure which one it is... but it's NOT the 2.3.4 one in the development section, it's version 1.7.1). i want to switch roms now, since the battery life is terrible, though the rom is great.
i've been looking through the development section for a new rom to flash, but a lot of them require some change to the firmware, bootloader, etc. the problem is, i don't know what bootloader, firmware, etc version i have
i rooted this phone when it was on STOCK 2.1 eclair ( i know, old), and i did flash a 2.2 rom before flashing this version of MIUI (2.3.4).
do roms change the bootloader? i came from an HTC device, so i don't really have an idea on whats the deal with the Galaxy S. HTC devices were a LOT easier (IMO).
i did a google search, but it didn't really help... O_O
so, if anyone can point me in the right direction, i will be VERY grateful.
thanks
'Settings -> About Phone' will show you your current firmware, etc.
Bootloaders usually only change for major revisions. If you're on Froyo (2.2) and want to flash a Gingerbread (2.3) firmware, you would need to upgrade from Froyo to Gingerbread bootloaders. If you're flashing from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4, you won't need to upgrade bootloaders. Flashing is done using the program Odin or Heimdall (or using a flashable zip via recovery, such as Clockworkmod Recoevery). Heimdall has the "flash bootloaders" right there for you to tick/untick, if I recall correctly. Some firmware files (pit, tar, etc—the files you flash with Odin) have bootloaders, some do not. I can't recall if there's an option within Odin to specify whether to flash the bootloaders or not. Either way, if you flash to an AOSP Gingerbread firmware, it's likely the bootloaders will be included.
So basically, just grab Odin/Heimdall and the necessary firmware files, and you're good to go! But before you do that, verify that download mode (volume down + home + power) works. If it does not, you'll need to get it working before you start flashing—otherwise you risk bricking your device.
If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask. We're here to help.

Unfortunately, you won't be able to tell what bootloader you have. Since you're running 2.3.4, which is Gingerbread, I'd assume you have a Gingerbread bootloader—but if you flashed from Froyo to MIUI, it's likely you only have a Froyo bootloader.
If you're currently running MIUI, the best way to change to another custom ROM would be to flash (via Odin/Heimdall) to the latest AOSP Gingerbread firmware (including the bootloaders), and then flash via recovery (using a flashable zip) to the custom ROM of your choosing—unless they have a package to flash using Odin.

i was on the stock 2.1 eclair galaxy s rom, and then i downloaded and flashed the baldoz rom, which used to be 2.2 (not sure if it still is). did that custom rom change my bootloader? so if i had the stock eclair 2.1 bootloader before, wouldn't i still have that bootloader right now? since you said MIUI doesn't change the bootloader?

If you used a flashable zip to flash via CWM, your bootloaders wouldn't have been changed. If you flashed via Odin, they may have been, depending on whether or not bootloaders were included in the files. (Although, for the most part, I don't believe many custom ROMs would include bootloaders, if any at all.)
Either way, your current bootloaders shouldn't matter much. I would still advise upgrading to Gingerbread bootloaders, as per the custom ROMs requirement (which I'm assuming most up-to-date ROMs will require, or at the very least recommend. For example, CM7 can run off of Froyo bootloaders or Gingerbread bootloaders, but battery life is negatively affected if you're using Froyo bootloaders.)

Assuming the files you use to flash (via Odin/Heimdall) include the bootloaders, but it's likely they will.
