Recently I played with radios a bit.
I tought the retail Brazil radio would work perfectly in my zone, but I was wrong.
I lost internet access with it.
The 4.2.1.1 radio kills the signal strength and also the internet connectivity.
Then the Telstra 4.1.4.2 radio. It works well, but the phone heats a lot. Also there's occasions where you loose the signal completely then in a few seconds you have full signal again. And sometimes you loose internet connectivity for a few seconds or until you reboot the phone.
Actually I'm back at the 4.1.8.3 radio.
Josuetenista asked me to upload the retail Brazil radio so he can try it.
To anyone willing to test it on an AT&T Atrix, be advised this will kill your internet connectivity. Phone will show 3G but won't send nor receive data.
I've included the 4.1.8.3 radio so you can return the phone to its original state.
These SBFs are for AT&T phones only.
You can download them HERE.
Hi Whipon, would you like to upload all the Radios for the At&t Atrix? Currently I'm at Capital Federal (Movistar, carrier) and constantly loosing signal and H+ connectivity all the time, so I would like to mess with these radios a little bit.

I see. So I'm not the only one not having HSPA in Argentina.
I only have the Retail Brazil and the Telstra one that dew.man uploaded some time ago.
The 4.2.1.1 radio kills the signal almost completely, so I deleted it. I can rebuild it if you want, but I don't see the point.
Currently the best radio seems to be the 4.1.8.3 one.
I hope this HSPA issue will be solved with Gingerbread.
What other radio do you want?. I can make you one with the Claro Brasil radio.

Thanks Whipon. I will try it and let you know how the radio works here in ecuador. Im still having lot of problems with the 4.1.83 Radio. The best radio so far is the 4.1.57 Radio, but I tried to use that radio with the latest firmware and it doesn't have internet connectivity, that's why im stuck on the 4.1.57 update.

Are you on Movistar or Claro, I'm on Claro, I'm not any having problems at all with 4.1.83
Hello,
I have a question, why are you guys talking about the different radios and post System Versions instead of Baseband versions?
Baseband means Radios and heres an example of different baseband version numbers:
N_01.87.00R
N_01.77.15P
N_01.77.07P
Etc...
Just curious...

also tried Brazilian Claro and Bell radios and doesn't seem to get better. Signal drops sometimes in conclusion SIM card seems to be broken

I'm on Claro but the problem started 1 week ago, dropped calls, very poor signal and internet connectivity very slow. I think I screwed my SIM Card because I uploaded 11000 songs to Google Music through the Phone's Tether (About 30gb) and the SIM card overheated

I have the same problem with 4.1.83 dropping calls in Personal Argentina. 4.1.57 was the best I think.
Guys, Don't get me wrong but I really think that it would be more helpful if you talk about radio versions by using baseband numbers instead of system version numbers.
Saying that you are on X system version does not necessary imply you are on Y radio version.
For example, I'm on system version 4.1.83 but my radio or baseband is N_01.88.00R which is not standard for my system version.
I'm just saying...

If I for example, say I'm using the 4.1.8.3 radio, that means I'm using the stock radio of that firmware. Its obvious. Build numbers are easier to remember.

That SBF its not compatible with AT&T Atrix.
Also that radio kills internet and signal strength on AT&T Atrix.

Better talk about the baseband version instead of firmware version...
cuz flashing sfb is not necessary to change the baseband version
and this radio is working perfectly on ATT Atrix and its HSUPA enabled...
Tested by lots ppl on xda, I guess there might be sth wrong with your provider instead of the phone...

First, the radio only SBF some posts above doesn't work on an AT&T Atrix. Period.
It uses diferent ram downloaders incompatible with the AT&T one.
If you try to flash it, you'll get an error in both the phone and RSD Lite.
Second, knowing this, I would like to know how these "lots of people" tested the radio not having a working sbf to flash it. I've tested it, making a working SBF myself and all ended with the results I described. I can upload the SBF if anyone is willing to test it.

You said that you have tried all those radios?
Do you know where I can download N_01.77.15P?
I "upgraded" to N_01.87.00R thinking that it would be better, but no. I think N_01.77.15P offers better performance.

Just got my Droid 4 and try to use it with GSM in Germany. I'm on the .212 leak.
However, I have no HSPA/UMTS reception. Not even EDGE. Only GPRS works.
I tried out everything, set it to WCDMA preferred, tried all the build.prop tweaks, nothing helped.
Tried out a different SIM, and I'm sure my APN is set up correctly.
It is not related to my region, my Droid 3 works perfectly here.
I think I have a hardware reception issue, but still hope it is just a configuration.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated.

I'm not fully sure if the Droid4 has world bands in place. In the "Set GSM/UMTS band" I see only USA Band listed.
Also, do you have your APN setup correctly? Make sure the APN authentication is set properly, that's one of the bigger bugs out there with the new builds. Also, have you tried using a custom ROM?
The Droid 4 for sure has the proper bands for UMTS/HSDPA in Europe. Has to be an APN thing. Hopefully somebody else can shed some light on this, as I am planning to use my Droid 4 in Germany as well in the coming months. I know there is someone from Holland on this forum that has no problem using his Droid 4 there (he is also on one of the latest ICS leaks).
Does the foreign SIM card initiate some type of APN configuration when inserted?
As I said I'm really sure APN is correct, I doublecheckt it a couple of times. I'm also sure it is not an APN problem because data IS working, but only with GPRS. Could try a different ROM, but I doubt it will help, I had this issue both with stock Gingerbread and leaked ICS.
Were you able to get this figured out?
i have also problem to get data, it connects to network but there is no data. :// have tried everything with apn and network settting but no chance..
p.s.: i am on .212 leak
So did something maybe change from ICS build 211 to build 212? Did you guys have any problems on the previous leaks?
i dont know if it works actually with 211.. does anyone know if i downgrade to .211 leak from 212

Sure. Over at droidforums, there is a tutorial on how to do it. You have to fastboot GB 19 first, then use the unstick tool with the 211 Kernel, followed by flashing of the 211 ICS leak. I have been doing this every single time going from one leak to the next.

Downgrading within the ICS leaks works the same way as upgrading as long as you have the proper leak and kernel.
Do any of you Canadian forum members have difficulty with Data on the latest ICS leaks?
i can confirm that data on .213 leak doesnt work also in germany. i will try .211 later...
could someone send me the build.prop(.211) for compare before i downgrade..

Hi everyone,
I have a HTC Salsa after some issues with logging into google market place I decided to reflash with the following stock Salsa ROM found on XDA:
RUU_Icon_G_HTC_Europe_1.12.401.1_R_Radio_47.14.35.3030H_7.47.35.17_release_193257_signed.exe
The reflash was successful, but my handset shows software version:
1.12.401.1_R
It used to be:
1.12.401.10
Kernel version is also different.
Does anyone have the stock RUU for software version 1.12.401.10?
...or can anyone suggest how to get the system.img file from an existing handset which does have version 1.12.401.10?
Knd Rgds,
yyo
Good luck. Never play with a systeem iimg. What is your area or country.
There will be no way of getting your exact system back. Its damn near impossible. Closest you will get is by flashing a stock rom. But by the sound of it you have a stock unit.
I'm interested in wwhy u would reinstall the ruu to fix a google play error though. But silly lol, nether the less u did it.
If u tell me your country I maybe able to point u in thee right direction more. But as said. U won't get your original stock back again. And your kernel is bound to be different its newer. Ever thought the ruu u tried is newer than what u had?

Hmm..., doesn't sound good.
Unless version 1.12.401.1_R is newer than version 1.12.401.10 the RUU found here at XDA is older than the version shipping with the handset. HTC is guilty of a lot of things but versioning software in reverse is not one I've some across yet!
My handset was purchased in Nov '12 in the UK and I used the Europe Stock RUU to flash, it was the only one with a version code similar to mine.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the assistance, I bought the handset sim-free (off network) so it was true HTC stock - no additional network provider rubbish.
I'm downloading now and wil give the O2 ROM a bash later on.
I also have an unmolested HTC Salsa running the stock rom 1.12.401.10, is there any way to extract it?
KRgds, yyo
No, u maybe able to when u unlock the bootloader and install reecovery, but swapping img files from roms is dangerous and not recommended.
Although its sim free, all salsas in the uk are predominantly O2. It will work, it'll just have so new options there. My suggestion is get it working and test everything. Wifi data Bluetooth etc.

Thanks BigBearEvo all working now, tested the hardware and all looks ok, a number of 'extras' there but I can live with that.
I would note that although the version number is greater, the 02 RUU is dated June 2012 whereas my previous HTC RUU was dated Oct 2012.
Looks like my previous HTC RUU was newer, probably HTC's last update to the Europe RUU before they dropped support for the handset.
Cheers for your help, yyo

I am about two years removed from the whole custom ROM scene and am coming back to it with my recent purchase of an HTC One.
I've done some reading but can't really figure out if I can just flash any old ROM in the HTC One forum?
I'd like to also backup my stock firmware and ROM.
Any info and or links one of you might have handy?
/begging
Thanks!
I am using a bell HTC one and I have flashed the latest ARHD and trickdroid Roms with no problem I also flashed the latest radio baseband as detailed in the development section and noticed an improvement in cellular signal. I have seen lte speeds of 40 Mbits up and 30 down.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks very much for the info!
So I could conceivably flash one of those ROMs without needing to flash the newer firmware?
If I do update the firmware, it needs to be done before the ROM?
Thanks again!
No problem.
As for the firmware...I didn't touch it.
I
1) unlocked bootloader
2) pushed cwm
3) flashed ARHD, tried it then flashed Trickdroid
4) flashed the updated radios (after making a backup)
I think the firmware is really for the international version.

Ok thanks!
A couple more dumb questions that I hope you can answer for me?
Can I backup the stock ROM/radio and flash back to that at some point (after flashing to a custom ROM/radio)? If so, any place you can point me to read up on the process?
Did you notice an improvement on charge times and battery life with any of the new custom ROMs?
Cheers.
Yes the are instructions in the development section on how to flash and backup the radio.

As for charge time I think it didn't change ( still long ) but I do not have any scientific data to back that up. To tell you the truth, I didn't spend much time on stock so I don't know about stock battery life.

Both of these items would be affected by the phone's antenna. I'm not sure that it would help but maybe a different radio would do the trick? I'm not sure if you need an unlocked bootloader or root to install a different radio.

Maybe there is a hardware defect in your phone. Sounds like you tried all reasonable solutions.
Is there a internal antenna that could have jard loose?
