Radio flash question

I upgraded my radio to p3droid. Today I flashed a new rom. So I was wondering if my radio gets downgraded back to original after flashing a new rom.

Don't honestly know the answer to whether the radio is flashed when flashing a new rom. I would expect since most radio updates appear to be separate update.zips that the rom doesn't upgrade radio. You can check under Settings>About Phone>Baseband Version. The latest I believe is C_01.3E.03P.

The radio does not get touched during a rom flash.

Thanks I noticed after checking original radio in Droid setting info and the version I have now. I forgot what the original version was but got it now. Thanks

I do believe the latest radio does require you to have Froyo... the earlier ones should work on any ROM. And the radio can be updated when you flash an update.zip ROM. It just depends on how the Dec has it set up.
The latest is C_01.43.01P - released with FRF84B
The one before that was C_01.41.00R - released with FRF57
And before that was C_01.3E.03P - the one released with 2.1 Eclair (ESE81)

Thanks. The only thing with new radio is it drops down to 1G alot. It sucks because it always seems to do it when I'm doing something important or downloading. Other wise it works much better than the original one I had.

I am currently on stock 2.1. The baseband since the update gives me a lot of issues at home 3g and switching to 1x. The new froyo rom should give me an updated baseband when it comes right? Otherwise I will have to get the previous basebands installed and root my phone?
Sent from my Droid using XDA App

No, I had similar question but when flashing roms it doesn't touch the baseband. I also have that issue mine drops to 1x alot also and is frustrating. But the older ones when I do searches on the internet it take almost 30 seconds for data transfer to start. The latest is quicker at that but the 1x drop is frustrating. To clearify again though the only way the baseband is updated or downgraded is by flashing it through an update zip or ota update. Roms don't affect it.

I should also add after flashing a rom, try reprogramming the phone by *228. It seems to help when I have issues after new rom. Also I installed a data disable widget. When it drops to 1x I disable the data connection for a minute or couple seconds and reactivate it usually returns to 3g when it comes back on.

Sprint radios?
How about using a Sprint radio on a Droid. IDK. I just got my Droid in the mail yesterday,got it rooted today and am working on checking out radio upgrades for it. I am coming from an CDMA HTC Hero200 from Sprint and with that phone we could put Verizon radio's and PRL's on them to up the coverage area and get better reception. My last one was a Sprint radio with a Verizon PRL and I had the best reception ever! Just some food for thought. If anybody has any valuable info on this I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance!

Thanks, works fine.

Anyone notice any differences?
I assume this radio can be flashed to be used on a 2.3.2 ROM?

Yes it can be flashed on 2.3.2. Too early to tell but nothing has exploded yet so that's always a good sign.

after flashing the radio(it flashed fine. much faster then flashing a radio on the N1) i noticed it connected to the network much faster than the old one. also, in the location im at now, data speed more than doubled! it went from 2.5mbps to nearly 6! i hope its that way when i get home too
i flashed it over the latest cm7 kang without any issue.

Thanks for this. Working nicely with CM7.
Seems reception is a little better.
Just curious what's MD5?

It's a hash function to check if the download is intact. A broken download can brick your phone.
Not checking MD5 is like going raw with a chick you picked up at a bar.

The new radio is awesome, I actually get reception in my apartment that's halfway below ground(on a hill), that I never got before. Almost no need for Wi-Fi Calling anymore. Scratch one problem with the phone off my list.

New radio is great. Bluetooth connection is now flawless whereas before it would always drop the media connection to my stereo (I assume the baseband governs the bluetooth radio as well?).
By the way, does anyone have the old radio .zip for 2.3.1? I downgraded to 2.3.1 to get the OTA update to 2.3.3 rather than the update.zip from the forum (in case the yellowy screen was a fault of a flawed update) and now i can't get the OTA because i still have the 2.3.3 baseband (i assume this is the reason i can't get the 2.3.2 OTA being as it has always been available when i was on 2.3.1 in the past.
Thanks in advance.

new radio works great .. i get better speed.. much better upload speed..... nexus always rules...

I feel like the wifi connects faster.

Ah actually tried but its not using edify so can't install with CWM3 and I can't seem to get the device working with fastboot either. If someone posts an edify version, I'll test.

There's a trick you can try. Get old fake-flash CWM, name it let say update-old.zip and put it onto your SD card. Boot into new CWM and install that update-old.zip you previously put on SD card. Old CWM should reload instantly. It won't erase or replace anything on your system, just in RAM.

i used this method for radio upgrading... and also some other stuff that their installation are aborted in cwm3

I've tried this radio on Legend (the usual fastboot flash radio procedure) and got quite high battery usage in standby during few days, so I decided to downgrade it back to 7.13.35.05.

Flashed to Vodafone Legend, seems to work fine so far.

Runs flawlessly on Vodafone Legend (CM7).

Now after one week of usage i can say the following:
- Battery livetime was increased (recorded with systempanel)
- GPS exactness seams to be improved (also the lock speed)
- GSM signal strengh is better - now i can allso recive calls when i'm in my basement ...
I havn't found anything that didn't work after the update.
So i'm happy with the new radio version

This new radio fixed my gps issues with CM7 RC4. Thanks!

Can I update via Rom Manager as a full rom? Thanks.

Yes, this is the way it should be flashed. But bear in mind that this is NOT a full ROM. You'll still have your current ROM, just in About Phone you'll see a new radio version

I have a Bell Legend upgrading from the Froyo WWE radio and I've noticed that after my 3rd reboot, the GPS still doesn't lock on. Haven't had GSM testing yet, I'm in the mountains and WiFi seems to be very improved.
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
EDIT: Well, it found 1 satellite in view. Usually it would lock on in 5 seconds, getting like 10 (around) satellites. Then the single one it found went out of view. This radio is a joke.
EDIT2: HOLY CRAP, JUST AS I WAS ABOUT TO RESTORE THE NANDROID, IT FOUND TWO (although it took about 5 minutes). OMFG A THIRD ONE.
HOLY CRAP IT LOCKED ON! That took a damn long time though, and I'm indoors now. Why couldn't it find some when I was driving? This is still a joke. I'll nandroid it tonight.
EDIT3: Okay, maybe I'm starting to think the fails I had, I had because the GPS was initializing or something, and I didn't give it enough time to breathe before closing GPS Test and resetting it, etc. Maybe I'll keep this another day to see further results, the GPS is starting to lock-on instantly now, which is nice. Can't comment on GSM though.
EDIT4: Aaaaaaaaand we're back to its old intermittent habits. I can't believe this. This is bullsh*t.

After using it for about 2 weeks, I think this does help with receiving calls in low signal area. It also helps with the battery life strangely.

Network Signal Low since 4.3

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 and ever since going to 4.3 my signal strength for mobile is weak, very weak.
I have re booted phone, taken battery out, tried different modems but all with no luck.
Has anyone else had this issue and successfully fixed it?
Cheers

Got the same issue, as I flashed the new Alliance Rom on my S3 LTE. Most time I had just one of five network points.
So I did another Full Wipe, and used the Boeffla Kernel with stock modem.
Got slight better results, but there are always lil interferences while talking. Probably its the bad network by german T-Mobile.
Regards

I have the australian optus version and signal where I live is really crappy on 4.1.1 I upgraded to 4.3 the newest one from hong kong (the one my rom is based off) and now I have found that the modem and ril driver in that version is giving me stronger 3g and 4g signal

I am in Hong Kong with the following
JB 4.3 XXUEML8 rxtreme JB 4.3-V2.0
Hong kong modem ZHUCMK1
Stock kernel of XXUEML8
My house is at 35/F of a building, my phone will have signal as stated below:
LTE/WCDMA/GSM signal with 2-3 out of 4 bar
WCDMA/GSM signal normally full 4 bar

Hey everyone I am back developing again haha Noticed this myself with 4.3 so I have looked into it and noticed something very different with 4.3GSM RIL class files. They are are all reverted to the standard GSM ril type files, where as on all previous generations have used QMI based RIL.
I have created a patch that I am about to test and if I have any luck I will upload it here for you guys to try out for your selves. It should work for other countries as well so long as you have noticed a difference in the RIL types between 4.3 and 4.2 or earlier? If not then I would suggest leave things as they are and flash a new modem.
I am on Optus and I am comparing the first 4.3 release to a stock Optus Android XXALI5-OPS, does anyone know what the version number is called from the OTA update for Optus?

No Nougat Update for SM-G610Y

Can anyone help me with this.
All the other versions of the J7 Prime (G610F & G610M) have recieved 7.0 Nougart update 6 months ago.
My phone is pretty much the same underneath as the rest of these, No my phone is not carrier locked.
I'm not the only one having this issue, there are a lot of people in the Philippines, Pakistan and here in New Zealand who are wanting this update and cant get it.
Samsung wont tell me anything no matter how much I ask their help desk and support team
I feel like as a customer I deserve to at least know why I haven't got this update but the rest of the world has, and not get continuously told to turn auto updates on when its already on.

Same device bro
Bro, i am a Y variant and i'm on PH. We don't have a choice but to install custom rom to taste the nougat android. Just root your phone, install TWRP then install custom rom like NovaOS or Lineage OS 15.1 for J7 Prime. Just search it and you can find it.

Same issue here...just installed Xenos Rom and its more than enough for me with the features....there are other roms as well

same ;(

Ah, those lazy Samsung coding teams...
My condolences, but you can always install the ROM closest to stock.

Australia G610Y received the Nougat update released April 11, 2018. The ROM is now available for download at SamMobile

I actually downloaded their Nougat based stock rom and flashed it using ODIN. No problems so far... it's just that you won't be able to use their country specific apps which I think is not a big deal.

There are no specific apps for Philippines G610Y except when you purchase through a Telco where settings like boot screen / default web pages all point to the Telco. Flashing Aussie Official G610Y ROM should be fine. In fact this should be a good base to create a custom ROM as it may contain updated drivers and the like.
I been running the Nougat Note FE XenOS v.1.1 without any problem so i dont need to worry bout waiting for an update from OTA

One minor problem I have encountered so far now is whenever I switch to 3G/2G on network mode, it doesn't survive the reboot. It reverts nback to 2G/3G/LTE mode. Other than that the Stock ROm is stable so far. Battery life is incredible.

Need to troubleshoot 1x1. First, I noticed you are using Oxygen kernel. It could probably be an incompatibility with this one.
Another, which I can think of is incompatibility of CSC part if you didnt change your original.

It was still present when I was still using the stock kernel. About the CSC though I have no idea. But maybe you're right because I flashed the original CSC tar.md5 file that came straight from the stock Aussie Nougat ROM. I don't know how I can change it. (Perhaps flash the stock CSC from MM?)

I checked my csc if it changed , and yes it was changed together with xenos. So it might be something else. But then there are CSCs which are not multi CSCs. So i could be wrong.
Edit: ok i did some googling. CSC doesnt affect network selection its the baseband part. You can install phone info samsung to check what versions you are in.

Just tried flashing the old MM modem.bin Seems to work like a charm. Although the network mode still reverts the 2G/3G/4G mode, I'm getting consistent 2G signals now and no more signal drops. I just use 4G whenever I use the phone outside where there is no wifi or when I use Navigation apps like Waze. I assume it'll get the 4G/LTE signal when the signal is strong enough.

Can you kindly guide me on how to flash modem.bin? I flashed NZ Nougat stock ROM on PH-bought G610Y and I'm having problem switching network mode when using dual sim. If I disable sim 2 I have no problem. But when both sims are enabled I can't swith sim 1 from 2G only to 4G/3G/2G. Switching doesn't do anything. It's stuck in 2G only.
Do I simply flash the file that starts with "CP"?
Update: I went ahead and flashed the CP file from Marshmallow and problem is fixed. Thanks for the tip!

I am experiencing problems with the new facebook app on XenOS v.1.1 FB is important for me because I need it for work. So, I decided to flash the New Zealand Nougat G610Y. Here are the steps I took for successful installation official nougat on Philippine based phone:
1. I flashed latest XTC G610Y MM so all partitions contain XTC (Philippines) based settings/customizations (BL / AP / CP / CSC)
2. I flashed G610YZTU1BRC3 Nougat (BL / AP) only which means CP/CSC remains XTC (xtc is multi CSC)
3. after step 2 finishes flashing from ODIN, it will encounter an error, but it will go to recovery mode
4. at recovery mode, I simply reboot the system and enjoyed a fresh copy of Nougat
I did not encounter any problem with network selection and tested rebooting it as well. Hope that helps your problem.

Please Assist me on this (i mean step by step instructions..)
