I always had a very stable signal running stock GPU/MPU clock. But every time I would overclock, I'd get a lot a data signal loss. Now though with the UGLC1 and the matching RIL, I haven't had a single signal drop yet and have been running at 1.35 Ghz with the GPU at 387 Mhz. Matching RIL with the radio suddenly looks really promising.

Thanks to all of you for your hard work and special thanks to efrant for the CWM flashable RIL ;)

Ril Root

I have tried to change the RIL with the get RIL app. But i keeps saying i don't have proper access, even though it appears in the superuser app. I have tried to clear data on get RIL, but i did not help. Can anybody help me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Just because you see the Superuser app, it does not mean you have root. If you've recently updated with an OTA update file, you would have lost root. You need to re-flash the superuser zip file in recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Is your gnex rooted? Superuser access is mandatory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rogoshin:
I flashe Roms every day, and you say i am not rootet. Plus every other Root app i have (Addaway, Automateit pro, clock synch, faster gps, ROM manager, Titaniun backup and Root explorer), works flawless.

What is an OTA update?

I have also tried to flash the RIL zip in CWM, but it says that it was aborted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Then I have no idea why the app or the zip are not working for you.

If you "flash ROMs every day" then you should have the knowledge to just manually place the RIL file in /system/vendor/lib, no?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rodnar77:
had this problem... open super user... select getril.... it will already say authorized.

re-open getril should work, if not reboot... and re-open getril...

hope it works for you...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rogoshin:
No

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Well, maybe it's time to learn then. This is how to do it on your device:

1) Extract the RIL from the zip and place it on your device (say, in /sdcard)

2) Open a file manager with root access (like Root Explorer);

3) Mount the system partition as r/w in the file manager;

4) Copy the RIL file to /system/vendor/lib

5) Make sure that the permissions on it are the same as the other files in that directory, i.e., 644

6) Mount the system partition as r/o in the file manager;

7) Reboot.

By the way, if you are using a "touch" version of a recovery, that may be causing the issues with flashing the zip you mentioned earlier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rogoshin:
In the map i have unzipped, what exatly is the Ril file.

P.S now i am so happy i bought the getril app ;)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rogoshin:
Thank you that did it :D

I have installed various files on my system before but never a RIL, now i also know that. I remember when i had The HTC Sensation, this RIL business was all over the place.

Well still the getril problem, i will have to look into that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Switched to this yesterday. I'm located in USA/south Mississippi ...I see posts all over kernel threads of data drops. Can't that be related to radios and not a kernel issue? I was on XXLA02 and only had a few drops but i do live in a horrible area for all carriers except Cspire so hard for me to tell at times what's going on or to report really valid information. I saw on Getril the only ril that says US is UGLA4 as I also saw a few ppl write that the UGs are for North America ...Tks Efrin for all the information and also for the rils!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saintfyre:
Yeah same thing here, mine was after I flashed the RIL to match UGLC1, on AOKP b37 w/ Franco nightlies, when I turned off Wifi it would not reconnect Data service, I'd have to reboot the phone.

I just reflashed AOKPb37 and GAPP's package and now all is well again, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chinoquezada:
From:

But, given that you are THE efrant that posted the radio, you are most probably right.

I read this is "the new UGLC1" and not "newer than UGLC1"

(in retrospect, it does make more sense for this to be the update to KRBL1 rather than UGLC1)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gucci.Nexus:
I recently heard that flashing radios/rils can cause the phone to brick, is that true?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Not true.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Although josteink would disagree with me, I believe UGLC1 is newer. LC means the radio was compiled in March 2012, while LB means it was compiled in February 2012. I personally don't see the importance of when a radio is "released", only when it's compiled.

There are a few other radios that I believe are in the wrong order in his "newest first" post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Can anyone post a cwm-flashable zip of the 4.0.2 XXKK6 RIL? I flashed the XXKK6 radio but could only install the 4.0.3 RIL since the 4.0.2 one was corrupted in getril.

Does the two even differ in any way, though?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HyperM3:
Ok so weird thing happened to me last night. I was in a building for dinner where my reception was basically 0 bars. However, I was receiving emails and texts so I didnt think anything of it. When I got outside, my bars shot up to 5. The issue however is that I had absolutely no data connection. I couldnt send any KIK messages or get on to the interweb.

I did a reboot and it wasnt for another 5 minutes that my messages started coming through and I got data back.

Anyone else experience this before? Im on UGLC1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Here it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PatrickVas:
In case anyone is interested, I've been using XXLA2 (with matching RIL) and it works great with T-Mobile in NYC. No data drops, good speeds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Much obliged!

EDIT: How do you make flashable zips so easy?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
[Off-topic]

It's actually very easy to do. You just need to read up a bit on it. The information is quite scarce, but there are a few informational threads out there like this one.

I actually learned how to do it myself by pulling apart the OTA update files and seeing how those files did things.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steve.garon:
Flash uglc1 ril file. It fixed data connection drop for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] searius:
Hi guys!

I live in greece, europe.

which radio is better for me right now.

I have the stock 4.0.4 radio XXLA2

but I read that the last one is KRLB1 from the Korean Gsm version.

Will this radio be better than the actual one I have or not?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saadi03:
Right to clear misconceptions: KRLB1 is NOT the newest radio, it was just released latest. that being said UGLC1 is the newest. I would recommend staying with your current radio or switching to LC1. remember to match your ril using get ril no matter what radio you choose.

FOR ANYONE CONFUSED ON WHAT RIL FILES DO:

doing some research and testing the ril file for LC1 (finally) I found out the following: what a ril does is helps android os talk to your phones antenna through your radio, its an interface for helping make this efficient. what I can beyond a doubt confirm is that data will be faster under the SAME conditions when using a matching ril. It should thus in theory somewhat help with battery because your phone will not be sending any incorrect or inefficient requests. Also what it will help with is connecting, if your like me and are in and out of reception areas it will connect to your network much much faster then with a mismatched ril. And also on boot it will connect faster as well. In terms of data drops I have no problems, so I cannot confirm this working or not to stop them but if they do occur they should go away quicker then before (in theory).

hope this helps sorry it was long :)

EDIT: I however have not noticed any battery differences but I have heavy usage and low reception so your milage may vary.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] searius:
ok thx m8 ;)

Just updated to UGLC1 everything is ok now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] milko9000:
Apologies if this is a dumb question. The thread is massive and I'm new to the GN, had a nexus s til recently.

For a week all was great, but then I updated from 4.02 to 4.04. Now my phone seems to be having network trouble, dropping signal and calls. Is this a radio issue? The wifi performance seems fine. I've not had to mess with radios since my HTC Hero and things seem different now. I'm based in the UK if that's relevant to any advice you could kindly offer!

(Trickster 1.2 4.04 ROM, default kernel with that, radio is XXKK1.)

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
From what I have seen, it is not a radio issue. It seems to be a 4.0.4 issue, but not everyone has it. The best way to eliminate it is to revert to your 4.0.2 backup. but if you want to stay on 4.0.4, then there is a slew of things you could try to see if anything helps, including trying: different radios, matching RILs with those radios, different kernels, ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marceldy:
I just installed KRLB1, from XXLA2 and previously XXKK6

XXKK6 for me on 4.0.4 was a real pain, till i discovered basebands ^.^

XXLA2 much improved from XXKK6 yet wasnt perfect, took too much time to reconnect and sometimes it simply didnt want to connect even after few reboots.

KRLB1 - just had if for few minutes, but its blazing fast ! and by fast i mean switching Airplane mode on/off and 2G/3G .. cant really say if it will have any connection drops, time will show ^.^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uoY_redruM:
Thanks for the GetRil app linked in the OP! My RIL did not match, and I had slight issues sometimes with getting a connection. Not a common problem, but occasional (in the same spot at work where I normally have fine connection) and it was annoying. Will test it at work Monday :)

Also, speed test seemed to show higher download speed (hit 9.5 Mbps twice in a row with 1.9 upload) then the usual high 7/low 8.

Orlando, FL (T-Mobile) UGLC1 Baseband.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
No drops since my last post. UGLA4/ril Liquid smooth/Trinity kernel 1344/384 release May 23.. I did have times when coming from sleep I was at 0 on XXLA2 ..I did however switch kernels and bumped low end up a notch to 691..So far so good on this.:D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No drops is prob due to the 691 min more than anything else I would bet...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neil1138:
White GSM version (international unlocked). Running the latest 4.0.4 on AT&T's network here in Oklahoma. Can report that UGLC1 is working well. Was running XXLA02 before.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diegomtoscano:
Can someone please link a flashable matching ril for the ugkl1 radio? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] digver:
I'm was baffled by the same problem, one day it worked, the next it didn't. Turned out that it was because I flashed rascream and rascream doesn't ship within busybox. I installed busybox and all was well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gucci.Nexus:
Are you inferring that the kernel helps with reception?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
The data loss issue was supposedly a nexus-only kernel problem introduced in 4.0.4 and subsequently fixed in another nexus-specific OTA, so to some extent I would have to say yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
I seem to have found best reception by using the XXKK6 radio. Is that because it's pre-4.0.4?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colocynth:
Anyone got the RIL of KRLB1 or XXKK6?

I got a bad reception at home. So I am trying out different radios.

After flashing KRLB1 by fastboot, GetRIL said "RIL/baseband doesn't match".

RIL=I9250XXLA2(my original radio)

baseband=M420KRLB1

GetRIL suggests me to download and install I9250XXKK6 RIL. But the file is corrupted.

Anyone got the RIL of KRLB1 or XXKK6?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I actually had a drop on UGLA4 yesterday so went to UGLC1/ril and actually made calls where I've never been able to!!! :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The RIL for the UGKL1 radio is the same as the RIL for the UGKK7 radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bioyuki:
Sorry for the n00b question, but for those of us who aren't rooted, are RILs fastboot flashable?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You cannot flash individual files using fastboot. Fastboot replaces entire partitions on your device with specified images.

But, if your bootloader is unlocked, you can always boot CWM and then flash the zip using CWM or just move the RIL to the right spot using ADB.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Deleted...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bioyuki:
Perfect, thanks! So I can just find the libsec-ril.so file and move it /system/vendor/lib?

EDIT: Does anyone have the RIL file for UGLC1?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Just download the CWM-flashable zip that I attached some posts ago, and pull out the file from within...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colocynth:
Flash the baseband first. Then use getril to update ril.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
That won't work for him. He does not have root...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a5pe4:
Ummm not sure which RIL to install...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
The RIL for uglc1 should be on the listing at getril app. If not, update when you have the app open.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] exmazda6fahrer:
I don't know, but why don't you install a new baseband (XXLA2)?

I ended up flashing a ril posted earlier by efrant which came up as unknown but now it says its matching. Guess I'll take take it :rolleyes:

Some people say it have higher Cell Standby usage in battery info.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a5pe4:
I've been using xxla2 in the US and just switched over to try UG1. When I switched over I noticed almost ridiculous battery drain over H. Still going to check things out today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HyperM3:
Give it a day or two to settle into a rhythm. Mine ate it pretty fast at first but now Im averaging 12-14 hours and having 50% still left. To me thats awesome.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robsw:
Can I ask what issues you were having with LA2 that led you to move?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HyperM3:
I noticed a complete signal drop in my house where I would get at least 2-3 with my previous Skyrocket, Atrix, N1 etc. Moving to the UGL gave me at least 1-2 bars now. So far I have had no dropped calls. Also updating the RIL helped keep signal where I had lost it with the wrong RIL attached to the UGL.

YMMV of course. Its easy to try different ones if you arent liking the one youre on. Just give them a day or two to settle in and adapt. Cant make a judgement call in 4 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] milesclarence:
Using Virgin Mobile (Bell) in Victoria, BC and I'm having a rough time getting any sort of signal out here. Maybe once a week my phone will connect to 3G, however, most of the time it sits with 2 bars of 2G, or with no service at all.

Any suggestions on a radio choice and RIL would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saadi03:
use UGLC1 with a matching RIL from get ril. I live in canada and this is the best choice as far as I know. If anyone tells you otherwise I can say for the most part there feeling a placebo effect. also give it a few days to settle in and if you have problems still or aren't satisfied try XXLA2 of you really want but I can tell you it most likely wont make a difference. Oh and no matter what use a matching ril with whatever radio your on. hope my tips help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] milesclarence:
Thanks a lot.

I'll try all of that for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Feenx888:
Hey guys,

I was wondering which baseband I should use for videotron.

The thing is I went from stock 4.0.1 to AOKP b37, and now stuck with baseband UGKL1 but with a different RIL. I haven't seen any change in reception but wanted to have the latest radios and also matching RIL.

If anyone using Videotron could point me the radio I should use.

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Achal3241:
Im using XXLA2 with matching RIL with AOKP build 38, on the rogers network and i am getting the best reception i have so far with this phone, almost as good as my blackberry
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkvice01:
Guys I just wanted to know if this is hardware radio issue.. I tried other radio out there to fix data drop. The stock radio comes with 4.0.4 I'm having frequent data drop. Then tried the new one which is uglc1 then data drop only happens when signal switch to gprs from hsdpa or vise versa. Then tried other radio which is the Korean one the krlb1 same with: uglc1.. or do have any suggestion on what I can do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkvice01:
By the way I'm using liquid smooth 1.4 rom with glados kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chw2006:
It appears that updating to a matching RIL screws my radio up entirely.

I'll get stable connection for maybe 5 minutes, then I'll get absolutely little to no data. Extremely slow, I'm talking like 3 kbps.

This has happened to me on UGLC1 with a matching RIL as well as UGLA4.

I had to reflash AOKP last night because flashing to any RIL basically made my data unusable.

Does anyone know the stock radio for the European Galaxy Nexus? I think I want to try flashing back to that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Stock radio for 4.0.4 gnex: xxla2

I have uglc1 with the accordant ril running in Germany ... my best radio until today :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chw2006:
Tried flashing that and getting the matching RIL.

It sucks even more than before. It appears that the data drops when there is a switch between H and 3G.

Should I try flashing a new kernel to reset anything that might have been done by GetRIL? I have a nandroid backup before I flashed anything today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
There is no stock radio for the GNEx the way you are putting it.

Radios are matched to builds, not with devices.

For example, if you are running yakju IMM76I, the matching radio is XXLA2. If you are running yakju ICL53F, the matching radio is XXKK6. If you are running yakju ITL41F, the matching radio is XXKK1.

All of this should be in the first few posts by the way...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chw2006:
So I flashed UGKL1 and left the XXLA2 RIL in there. It worked flawlessly for like 30 minutes, but now I'm back to the same issues as before: unresponsive data even though it shows that I am sending and receiving packets and I get full bars on HSPA.

This is frustrating...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wawel:
Hey there, which baseband do you think is the best for south america?

I'm currently having data drops on AOKP B38+Franco latest milestone, using XXLA2 and my baseband and RIL do match.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkvice01:
I just discovered something ... radio base and is actually only one of the factors of having data drop.. the radio that you need to flash in your phone must run the same type of band of your network.. now the other factor of having the data drop is network it self. I tested the phone using smart network and the radio is uglc1 data will disconnect when switching from gprs edge to 3g and it takes around 30 sec for the data to connect or connect to network.. hence no signal drop.. but when I use other network which is globe.. no data drop..so its all up to the network service... people who are having data drop issue using other radio you must know if the radio is compatible with tour network.. we're talking about the band from the network.uglc1 which is used by att and T-Mobile or and Canada rogers and telus ..their band is the same band using by the network in the Philippines.. to your band better to call tech support of your network provide..

No one knows for sure. Until we get some solid indication that it makes a noticeable difference one way or another, it's up in the air. Hell, for me, flashing different radios doesn't even make a noticeable difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chw2006:
After my data completely crapped out, I switched to franco kernel r180 and flashed UGLC1 with the accordant RIL. Things were great for a day and a half after I disabled weather on AOKP. So I thought that might have been the culprit somehow (kind of out there, but I don't know what the actual problem is).

Then I find out I get the dead data again this morning, I was getting 3 kbps or no data at all on downloads, even after clearing cache and reboots. I flashed XXLA2 along with the accordant RIL and things seem to go back to being normal again.

I'm semi-positive that this is not an issue with my network. I should not get horrid speeds for hours and I haven't seen anyone else on Straight Talk report this.

Does anyone have some suggestions on what could be wrong? Any shot in the dark is fine by me. :)

For me, it doesn't feel right having a radio which doesn't match the RIL and vice versa. :p

Hi there,

I'm the author of GetRIL. I want to say 'Thank you' the the OP for creating this thread. I makes my life a bit easier, and also the Galaxy Nexus owners life's too ;-). GetRIL ain't complete regarding the maguro. I'd love to complete it, but it's a bit difficult to find the appropriate RILs.

Any chance that you guys can send me correct data from GetRIL? I'll make sure to update the database.

Best regards,
