Right now I am on stock radio as it seems to have the best reception for me on rogers.

I am waiting to hear more reviews before I jump the gun on the radio posted above.

Its a img file so you would have to flash it by fast boot or by terminal.
[Nexus S Android Development] jark99:
Imma hop your boat! Will also be waiting and seeing!
[Nexus S Android Development] GSO:
For people who live on the Randstad erea in The Netherlands. I'm using the KB3 radio for over a week and have a much better reception. Both for phonecalls and data.

Thanks for sharing these radio's!

Original build.prop request

Hi, can someone provide me an original build.prop file for i9020t, baseband i9020xxkd1, stock kernel? I didnt back it up and now i need it to get my ota update...

Man,

Just download the update and then flash it through CWM.

It is easier, you dont have to change the build.prop

Can someone reulpoad UCKF1 for 9020A?

Tried flashing twice getting a "installation aborted status code 6" error!
[Nexus S Android Development] graphreak:
Got the same error with UCKF1. Not sure if downloaded file was corrupt.

So I decided to flash the XXKF1 (GRK39F) on my phone and it flashed without any issues.

Going to test it out for a few days and see how it goes.

I have an i9020 from when it was launched first.

XXKB3 had been running very happily on my phone previously.

HTH.
[Nexus S Android Development] cpaixao:
Entendi, but... is not a signature error. Its a assert missmatch, so even CWM couldnt help me for this. But for now, i got a original build.prop file for my phone. I am on 2.3.6. Thank you anyway! ;0

Please be careful before flashing! In the same boat here, FIDO (Rogers network) Canada, black Nexus S, 'A' variation.

I have no service! Oxygen latest version, tried flashing back to KD1 and doing a restore with Nandroid (Did full backup before flashing) not working, can't connect to network!

Anyone any ideas for us? I'm stuck on WiFi right now!
[Nexus S Android Development] htcdude486:
TheMainDude,

Try flashing UCKF1, got my radio working again! Will test further shortly!

EDIT: Just to follow up, tried to flash KF1 again with no luck, no errors during flash via latest recovery but on reboot radio is not working, not connecting to network!
[Nexus S Android Development] benrees21:
Ok I'm not sure on my phone model. Got one of the first units here in the UK. I'm on I9020KD1 so I'm assuming its I9020 unless other model radios work on other models. What's the latest radio for I9020 then?

[Nexus S Android Development] qzfive:
Check what your Baseband in Settings > About Phone says - if you have the UK NS, it should show i9023 at the start of the Baseband version
[Nexus S Android Development] benrees21:
It says I9020XXKD1. I9023 is the European LCD version I believe.

I believe (I could be wrong) that the first NS' in UK were GT-I9020T models, the same as the T-Mobile variant so that would make the new radio KF1 work.

=\ dude I just tried to flash a radio and now my computer doesn't recognize my phone as a nexus s lol it says E lol

Install the K3 radio through fastboot. If that doesnt work try to flash UCKD1 radio. Don't use the zip's, use the img file and do it through fastboot.

Whats difference between UCKF1 and xxF1?..... nothing?

why this XXKF1 is larger than this one ?!

is there any critical difference in these two ?!

For your information, BrainMAster post is flash through CWM, while the unforgiven512 is image. Please dun be confused.
[Nexus S Android Development] 3rdcoast:
Happened to me too. I'm on a I9020A on Rogers. Flashed back to the XXKD1 that had been working but still no signal. Then I fastboot flashed UCKF1 and now I'm back. Speeds not nearly as fast so I'm going to try XXKF1, oops, no signal again. K, back to XXKD1 but no signal, now to UCKD1 but no signal. Ok, out of time so back to UCKF1 and I'll deal with it later.

edit-> Went back via fastboot to XXKD1 and my upstream speeds are back. KF1 was just too slow on upstream. I was lucky to get 300k upstream but now I'm back to almost 3M. I'm on Nscollab BTW.
[Nexus S Android Development] X1111:

For those with an i9020t in Phoenix wondering whether they should upgrade to KF1 here is a network tracker SS from my phone.

Specifically I was in North Phoenix and Scottsdale. Also, the reason for such a high uptime on Edge is that there isn't 3g right at my house. If I go out to the street I can get it but right inside I only get edge.
[Nexus S Android Development] htcdude486:
This may or may not be a silly question, but is there a change log of sorts availible for these different versions? It would be great to see what adjustments are being made
[Nexus S Android Development] ellesshoo:
Well the only 9020 model that I know of that supports the 2100mhz band is the 9020T. But I don't follow specifics of other variants too closely.

Any word on what the difference between the two images is? The XXKF1 in the OP doesn't appear to work for 9020A models.

Mine was dumped directly from the Radio partition. The other is smaller because its trimmed down in the size.

No major difference.

Perhaps you have a different unit than I do but the speeds I get with xxkd1 are much better than uckf1. I'm using a i9020A on Rogers. I get ~6M/3M on xxkd1 and only ~3M/40K on uckf1.

[Nexus S Android Development] RtOaNn:
Any i9023 user who tried the new XXKF1 radio? Any improvements?

So far only seeing i9020 users trying out.
[Nexus S Android Development] rgbc:
XXKF1 is not working for me on I9020A on Rogers 850/1900MHz, tested the older XXKF1 radio and the current upload.

To get the radio and running again during both flashing sessions I had to flash UCKF1 and then XXKD1, flashing XXKD1 directly from XXKF1 resulted in dead radio.

Round one: UCKF1 > XXKF1(old) = dead radio > XXKD1 = dead radio > UCKF1 = active radio > XXKD1 = active radio

Round two: XXKD1 > XXKF1(new) = dead radio > XXKD1 = dead radio > UCKF1 = active radio > XXKD1 = active radio

In case anyone was wondering, IMEI and network access are fine after the above eight radio flashes.

I did. No problem at all. Signal is a little bit better than xxkb3. At a weak signal spot, it was -107dbm, now it's -93dbm.

Dont know if this is the right thread...

I've 9020T with XXKB3 and seems to be good. The only problem i've, is with wifi: when i connect with any hotspot, the wifi icon on statusbar take a long time to became green.

The icon appears after obtain IP addres, and then takes about 10-15 seconds to became green.

Is this normal?

The new release (KF1) solve this issue?

Exist a trick to speed-up?

Thanks...

Same thing on my end, dead radio even after cycling airplane mode. back to UCKF1 running i9020a on ATT. is KB3 the best for speed still?
[Nexus S Android Development] kavyt:
KB3 is definitively best for speed but KF1 is wayyyyyyy better for signal strength and switching IMO. When it comes to speed difference I can deal with radio that is 10% slower on downloads because everything else connects much faster on KF1
[Nexus S Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Wtf is with these radios? Is it our Nexus Ses acting up?

I flashed the universal KF1 last night and lost 3G. I flashed KB3 (what I had before) and still no 3G. I went through 4 different radios:

- KF1

- KB3

- KD1

- finally UCKB2 (stock 9020a)

Finally I wiped everything on my phone and flashed KF1 + NSCollab. No radio now. WTFUX?

Is my efs folder messed up? Thank goodness I have a backup from a month ago. What should I do?
[Nexus S Android Development] kavyt:
Flashing the zip from recovery is not the best option.

I find that only half the radio's work when I have tried that so now I only do it through fastboot.

Wiping won't change the radio so that wasn't needed. Try fastboot the stock radio then go from there.

On Rogers in Canada on an I9020A and have been trying to find a radio newer than KD1. I just loaded the UCKF1 and again the only issue is upload speed. Sitting next to the tower where I can get ~6M/3M on KD1 I can't get past ~4M/400K upstream with KF1. if I go back to KD1 I'll see my 3M upstream again. Am I missing something or is this just not ideal on HSPA up here?

try KF1
[Nexus S Android Development] 3rdcoast:
really, anyone know why the UCxxx in particular KF1 seems to be throttled to 40K upload speeds? I've gone back to XXKD1 and my upstream speeds are back. It seems odd that baseband now shows (in About) NO DGSXXKD1 instead of I902Axxxxx but the speeds are *much* faster especially upstream.

[Nexus S Android Development] 3rdcoast:
I'm in Mississauga. Generally my signal is good and where it is weak it is the same places where it has been weak since the beginning of time. I live next to a high speed tower and have speeds better than a DSL connection but of course this isn't where I need it.

My issue is that all modems I've tried newer than XXKD1 especially anything UCxxxx limit upstream to 40K and that seems to be by design, it will run at exactly 40K upstream and no higher. Same location on XXKD1 can run @ 3Mb and that's a huge difference. I don't get stronger signals with the newer modems, just slower speeds.

I'll just stay happy with KD1 since it seems to work better than the others here.

It may or may not work if you flash again. I get better success by extracting the radio.img from the zip (I then rename it so I know what version it is) and flashing from fastboot. That being said, I still get better speeds from XXKD1 vs XXKF1.
