latest radio? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have searched but cannot seem to find the very latest radio file for the Nexus 6. I've got a Google Play version, using on T-Mobile.
My speeds don't seem to be what they should, and I am on a 6.0.1 custom ROM, but never updated the modem file, and afaik none of the custom ROMs do the update, I never did flash a factory update either.
Is there a latest T-Mobile radio or something I could flash to possibly fix my speeds etc.?

you can use any of these radios on any version of android. try out a bunch of different radios, keep your favorite. and, BTW, the latest radio isn't the best one usually.

Thanks bud,
I was recently fixing phones for a friend and switching a lot, and I forgot how awesome my Nexus 6 was in this regard.
With Sammy and HTC you flash the wrong radio and you are hard bricked with the quickness...

yeah, you try to downgrade firmware on a lot of samsung devices and you end up with a hard brick, thanks to KNOX... Same with HTC..
Anyways, I've just downloaded the 5.32 radio, and flashed it - I didn't see the one you mentioned in that thread though..
edit: wow, that sure made a fast difference... Glad I flashed the new radio lol

I don't.
if I need root after I in a phone, I either use our work computer or ask a friend
I literally do everything with the device itself, like in terminal, or just modifications in its filesystems. only root, unlocking the bootloader(it will never get locked again), and flashing twrp for the first time. flashing radios/bootloaders is usually through a twrp flashable.

Yeah, always a PC somewhere, just in case. No unlimited data in Canada. At least nothing that's not an absurd amount of cash a month. Otherwise I'd drop Internet too. Lol

Yeah I get unlimited LTE (even if I go to Canada) so maybe I'm a bit spoiled too...

You mean there is no difference between the different radios???? What radio are u using? And do you get small echo complaints from people sometimes(not every time)
What you are saying is that I can flash all the radios and it wont make a difference in the problem above????
I have already flashed a different radio and theres not a difference.
I mean you can flash the recommended radio like everyone else.
I'm using 3805.06.03.16, which works perfect.

back when he released it i was talking to him about updating it cause reboot into bootloader doesnt work and he said hes gonna make an update but never did..
Stupid question... The radio isn't tied to the version release, is it? For example I run a Froyo ROM. A GB radio isn't going to cause me issues, is it?
It shouldn't matter, no.
05.02 has better data speeds. anyone dare to challenge me and ill post speedtest screenshots. I get .18mbs down on 05.06 and I get .75mbs down with 05.02

Each carrier will have different versions to account for different bloat and some system options (tethering,...) But at large they should be the same

There are half a dozen or so of the typical Rogers apps (MyAccount, Ringback, etc.) but they are all uninstallable. That was the first thing I did was to uninstall those apps.

Ya, I was pleasantly surprised that all Rogers apps were uninstallable. Looks like Rogers is listening to their customers and letting us choose which of their apps we want.
I am wondering if anyone has or can make a nandroid backup of the stock Rogers ROM and post it? I missed making a backup
Thank you

Best thing when it comes to radios, try the new radio. Compare and contrast how your signal holds up using the newer radio. Ask yourself some questions.
- Is the new radio holding a stronger signal or faster speeds?
- Is the battery life with the new radio draining additional battery than my previous radio?
etc..... then after a couple days, conclude which radio is the best for you. If the newer radio isn't as good, revert back to the old radio.
Radios are independent of Android versions so u can use whatever radio u want. Just use the one that is best for you because one size doesn't fit all. No best radio.

For me I was curious to see if this is like the treble ROMs that are out. There are AOSP TREBLE ROMs out that function quite well. One of the advantages is that we have a choice not use Google apps/services with the TREBLE ROMs. Just like the old days. Most of the custom roms out now are loaded with gapps.
There's even AOSP based ROMs with gapps in this section that have a lot more customations.
It's really about choice.

If you have fastboot then download factory image, extract contents to fastboot folder and hit run
If not download the OTA zip, load up recovery, sideload update in recovery using ADB
