thanks for the idea, and I just checked it and you are correct, the md5 from getril matches that of the md5 from vendor/lib/libsec-ril.so

EDIT: so just to confirm your ril zip matches the UGLC1 radio?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
You and efrant are awesome! I switches over from UGLC1 to XXLA2 because of higher drain but will try with the provided LC1 RIL.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saadi03:
enjoy my friend let us know how well it works, I would test unfortunately I wont have the opportunity for a few days.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] air2k57:
Same, I replaced all 5 ans now my signal went bye bye lol. Hmm, restoring old ones didn't fix the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gucci.Nexus:
What are Ril's and GetRil? Is it something that gets flashed with a radio? I am trying to make my signal better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Thanks for checking.

And yes, the files included in the zip I posted were for the UGLC1 radio. I'll package up the /vendor/lib/libsec-ril.so file in CWM format a little later, so that others can easily flash it if they want.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zAo_:
I'm having major problems with my current XXLA2 Baseband.

I live in Europe and XXLA2 gives me dropped data connections whenever idle; thats 5 times a day at least.

Can any of you advice me on what to flash? GetRIL provides the option to flash XXKK6; should I install that one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steve.garon:
Maybe instead of packaging the ril file to a cwm flashable zip you could give the file to the getril developper so he can put it in his app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Try XXKL1. I've had much better results with that than XXLA2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Feel free to pass it along to him. I don't use the app, so I'm not going to. I was just going to package it up to make it easy for the people in this thread. If you want to pass it along to him, even better -- it will make it easier.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zAo_:
Thanks. Installed XXKL1 and everything seems to be fine. My RIL still is XXLA2 though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
A cwm zip file would be great - I look forward to it. Thx in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rodnar77:
hi All,

i installed the RIL files for the UGLC1 radio from the previous message...

i have not had one single data drop (KNOCK ON WOOD) or any mysterious behaviour.

seems to be rock solid... i copied all the files EXCEPT THE RILD file..

Tried the GETril software, but it wont update my phone by itself and this RIL isn't available yet through GETril.

i was able to run it though, and it know says "unknown" as stated earlier.

on ANOTHER note... can anybody verify what UMTS they are on.. mine says UMTS 3... which is Europe i believe... and am in Canada? is this ok, or is this because some Rogers thing? if its wrong how do i change it or do i need to.. my reception and data is great for me...?

thanks all..

enjoy
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Ok, I've just whipped up a CWM file for you guys. I haven't tested it yet, but there shouldn't be any issues. (If it does give you issues installing, let me know what, and I'll fix it.)

As of now, it only includes the one file, but if others want, I can add the other files.

It would obviously be easier for you guys if someone passes the info (or the link to this thread to the creator of GetRil.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
I got a status 0 error installation aborted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Ok, I'll have a look and re-upload a bit later. Thanks for letting me know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Who's getting data drops and have their radios/rils matched?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Did you have the signature check "off" when you tried to flash it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Molle123:
Just flashed it. Both my data/wifi signal strength did get improved immediately..

In Sweden.

Great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CB620:
Running strong for two days. If anyone is looking for a strong radio for this device I recommend this one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Back from Münich whisky festival :)

This zip file contains a .img.p(atch?) file and I really have no idea how to work with that. Will dig deeper into the threads around here.

Or do anyone have a link handy?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jei13:
sc04domla1

Try this link for the radio image:

And the cwm version:

Got these from a Japanese blog site.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Awesome. Thanks. Will mirror and add to the first post.

Edit: Done and done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alb-bara:
Hey yall! I'm moving to China next week! Which baseband do you suggest?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Sorry about the box.com-related BW-outage. This especially with all the multiupload-related takedowns made it impossible to get any radios.

Sorry about that.

Added new mirror under my control and no silly bandwidth regime. Will update individual mirror links later, but for now, just check under mirrors-list. It should all be there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xtkxhom3r:
bump for sticky!!!

sticky is a must for this thread
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
All mirror links are now updated to a working server (yay!)

Also made sure all radios (apart from KRKL1) now have both fastboot and CWM packages. Packages are made by me, on the fly, and yet to be tested.

Untested packages are marked as such, so if you're not feeling very brave, there should be at least one safe option per radio left for you to choose ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] total360:
The Japanese NTT Docomo radio is the first one to be released that has been made in 2012 and it's smoking... Such a stable and reliable baseband, hoping the XXLA1 will appear soon, along with a OTA update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
Are you referrring to the SC04DOMLA1 radio baseband?

I want to try, I am on the SC04DOMKKD right now and it's awesome (Vodafone Netherlands - AOKP M3 4.0.3 - PrimeKKL1 bootloader - GlaDOS kernel).

Is the SC04DOMLA1 suitable for 4.0.3 ?

Cheers!

-Ti2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
I just flashed it on a 4.0.4 based firmware. Seems to work fine. I'm sure 4.0.3 will be OK too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
Thanks! Flashed it and it seems even a bit better than the DDK version.

Will try it a couple more days :)

Ti2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] total360:
I'm running it fine on 4.0.2 stock
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] renaud:
I am running it in Belgium on CM9 kang, fugumod kernel and kk1 bootloader. Seems better than kl1 and ways better than mkkd

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Langduscher:
Hmmm well it seems better for signal (~65dBm & >15 ASU) but.... battery seems to drain a lot faster :confused:

From 100% @ 5pm to 30% now on 3G - 2.5hrs screen on. With DOMKKD it would be @ > 50% by now.

-Ti2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xtkxhom3r:
im on tmo in san antonio texas.. currently using UGKL1 its working pretty good but im wondering if there is something better out there

what would you guys recommend
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maniac2403:
Anybody on WIND recommend a radio? UGKL1 works, wondering if other work better :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gregus59:
I recommend SC04DOMLA1 for France : performing, battery life, and for sure the best reception.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
Tested the CWM flashable XXKK6. Seems to work for me, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blowtorch:
i think the thing most people are missing is matching their radios bootloaders and roms. people complaining of data drops and signal drops need to first consider this, 4.0.4 ICS comes with bootloader PRIMELA03 and radio XXLA2 for a reason! Ask yourself what the bootloader does and how it interacts with the radio?

also signal and data drops happen because of switching on fringe areas where coverage of 3g/4g are constantly switching ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
I'm not sure how to check it off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saadi03:
I emailed the dev, Ill keep everyone posted with what he/she says so if you dont feel comfortable changing the ril manually just wait hopefully well get an update soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
In CWM, click on "install zip from sdcard" -> toggle signature verification. Make sure it is disabled.

I'll go through my script as soon as I have a chance. I'm probably missing a semicolon somewhere... :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Same thing boss
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Ok, I've updated the file. Try the attachment in post #776
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Flash worked but nothing changed in getril.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] air2k57:
So, everytime a rom is updated, ril has to be as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
i tried flashing the CWM and it works properly...if you check in /system/vendor/lib the file is the correct one, i think. as stated above, nothing in getril changes, but i'm fairly sure it IS the LC1 ril :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Hmmm. Not sure why others have stated GetRIL says unknown when they put it in there manually, but if you flash it in CWM, there is no change to what you had before... :confused:

EDIT: In any case, hopefully the GetRIL guy will update his app for you guys with that RIL.

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:36 PM ----------

The RIL is part of the ROM.

Honestly, the last time I heard of RIL was back when I was using WM6 devices.

I hadn't really heard about it since I've been using Android, but the theory is that the RIL should be matched with the radio. So, if your ROM is a yakju 4.0.4 ROM, then you have the RIL for the XXLA2 radio. If you want to use a different radio, you should replace your RIL with the one from the ROM from which the radio came.

Again, I don't think any of this has been proven on the GNex, but hey, this thread is as good a place as any to start.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Saintfyre:
So to be clear, the RIL issue is just a way for people experiencing Data Drop to correct it?

I live in Portland OR, I'm on T-Mobile, I've been using the UGLC1 Radio for the most part it seems stable enough.

Attached are my current settings and the page that comes up from GetRIL, now having a mismatch isn't bad right? I don't want to place concern where none is needed...

The GSM Nexus I'm using was purchased from Samsung thru Amazon in January, not thru the Play Store.

Just curious.

Have a good day everyone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XtreemDroid:
I am on the same UGLC1 and have been looking for a matching RIL. How do we find it? Or do I need to even worry about it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Is that a joke?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XtreemDroid:
Ya sorry...lol I should have read the last page first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saadi03:
that quote is the response from the dev for the getril app with a few identity exclusions. So it'll be there soon everyone should just be patient.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yoh_anim:
Efrant, I think you put the wrong file in your latest cwm zip.

If you look at the file name you copy, it does not previously exist in the vendor directory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
The cwm file flashed fine for me but it didn't change anything on getril. My data drops still exist.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You are right. So sorry about that. File updated. Please re-download.

(I'm all out of "thanks" for today. I'll catch you tomorrow!)

Try the new version of the file. Sorry about the mix up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Do I have to do anything regarding the other flash? Like to revert it..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No, no need. Just re-flash the updated file. Sorry about that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Worked, cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Let us know if your signal drops go away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
Mine have been infrequent to begin with but I'll wait a day and repost.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
I don't think the signal drop is caused by the mismatch, as I've had a mismatch using UGLC1 radio but never had signal drop. I've also had a match with XXLA2 but had a drop. The RIL should improve _something_ though, whether it's battery, signal strength, etc
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nikulogical:
I can definitely say that the matching ril made switching in between wifi and data very smooth. Before I'd lose connection while it switched and sometimes it would stall.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] markd0wn:
I'm wondering if it might be a good idea to update the first page where all the links to the radios are included, and edit the flash files so they would update radios with matching RIL's as well.

So for example, people who in the future choose to flash to the UGLC1 radio, will already have the matching RIL for it right after they flash it. If they choose to go back to XXKL1, again they will get the matching RIL as well. Otherwise, every time one updates a radio, they'll have to look up a matching RIL.

Might be a lot of work editing all the files though. A simpler solution could be to simply add a link to a matching RIL below the link to the actual radio, and whenever people want to flash their radio they'll download both the radio and the RIL.

Edit: If that's also a lot of work, another solution is to let people know in the first post about the RIL issue, and advise them to use the GetRil app in order to get matching RIL's for their radios, assuming the app is reliable enough and does just that.

(This entire idea is based on the notion that having a matching radio and ril is actually important/makes a difference/better... if that's not true, it's a different story)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
GetRil app is updated with the latest radio and RIL!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
I think this is a better idea.

We need more people to report back to see if it actually makes a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HyperM3:
So I dont know if this really means anything, but I switched to the UGLC1 radio the other day and I noticed an increase immediately. However, this morning I noticed a couple oddities. First is that when I saw full bars on my phone, my car would only show that it had 3/5 bars of reception. When the phone went down to 1 bar, the car would show no bars of reception. That being said, there were times when the car would show full 5/5 bars when my phone showed full bars.

Another thing I noticed was I had my first call drops on my way to work with this phone. I dont know if it was the phone itself or the radio but Ive never had a call drop in over a year. I didnt have any drops with the XXLA2 radio in the same area.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Which RIL?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wiki_warren:
I was running UGLA4 on the latest Yakju 4.0.4 and was getting an X and signal loss intermittently. Switched my radio to XXLA2 and my Wi-Fi and data have increased significantly, and no signal drop as of 2 days now ! My carrier is Rogers and I live in the Brampton area.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HyperM3:
Haha. You know, Ive been reading this thread the whole time and I still have no clue how to check what RIL I have. Im the guy who should not be doing this stuff to his phone but does it anyway because its there.

EDIT: Installed GetRIL and figured it out. My RIL is still XXLA2. It says RIL/Baseband doesn't match. Downloaded and installed the correct UGLC1 RIL and now it says matching.

Should I reboot now or something or is it good to go?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gpgorbosjr:
Does anyone in the US (North East, I'm NJ) have a suggestion for radio?

I checked this thread out because I was dropping connection, and sure enough I was running AOKP Build 37 with XXKK1 installed.....

so I switched to UGKK7 but am open to suggestions....

just got my Nexus yesterday. My first phone not bought carrier branded. I chose UGKK7 because it for NA but I don't know if any of that matters.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
:-) reboot seems a good idea
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HyperM3:
Im also in NJ. I switched from the XXLA2 to the UGLC1 and my reception jumped 1-2 bars. I too am running AOKP Build 37.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gpgorbosjr:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] P3aK:
I just found out about this RIL thing yesterday.

Not really sure if I get it though.

Is the RIL supposed to match the Radio or the Radio to match the RIL?

I mean if I flash another Radio.. do the RIL have to change?

Or do I have to run a certain Radio based on the RIL?

:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Either or.

As I had mentioned in an earlier post, the theory is that the RIL and radio should match. So, if your ROM is a yakju 4.0.4 ROM, then you have the RIL for the XXLA2 radio. If you want to use a different radio, you should replace your RIL with the one from the ROM from which the radio came.

Again, none of this has been proven to do anything yet on the GNex.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rodnar77:
GETril updated for UGCL1 radio.. confirmed and working... (the Dev was super helpful and fast)

BTW.. anybody have a chance to check what UMTS they are using yet....

I just need to verify that mine is ok?

im running UMTS 3... which is EUROPE according to wikipedia... but im on Western Canada on rogers...

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Where do you see band III? If you are using Rogers 3G, then you are on bands II and V.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rodnar77:
i hope this works... ive attached the screenshot..

i used *#*#4636#*#*

check phone status... and voila... UMTS3

i see both of these intermittently with WIFI OFF and UMTS 3 exclusively with WIFI ON
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yeah, mine says 3 as well, but that is obviously wrong. There is no band 3 in North America.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rodnar77:
i just added another SCREENSHOT...

i see HSPA 15 as well....

thanks all..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadvich:
Probably been said before, UGKL1 seems to work the best for me in MD/VA (ATT). Only modem so far that gets coverage at my thick-walled workplace (2 bars on edge). On top of that battery drain is only 1-1.5% per hour. Other modems might get a bar on edge but be continuously searching for 3G and drain 8-10% an hour.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vengadorhq:
baseband for Chile...

I have a quick question, anyone know which baseband is recommended to use in Chile? THe European Baseband or North American baseband?

using the GetRil app, recommend for me European Baseband, but i don't know if it is for my ROM (AOKP Milestone 5) or what...

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jhuynh:
The number has nothing to do with the band, it has something to do with the network type/speed.

KRLB1 radio (from yakjukr IMM76K-from-ICL53F update)

EDIT: There were some issues with the fastboot image, bit it is now fixed.

Source is here.

Fastboot image and CWM-flashable file attached.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] markd0wn:
So I assume KRLB1 is newer than UGLC1, right? Even if both came from a 4.0.4 OTA update, KRLB1 came from IMM76K while UGLC1 came from IMM48...

Here we go with the RIL's again though, haven't tried KRLB1 yet but I assume GetRil doesn't have the RIL for it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Technically UGLC1 is newer...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
While the naming convention implies this is true, as far as build numbers and "public" releases go, KRLB1 is newer and as such I have added it as the newest on the timeline listing.

So yeah. Radio added to first page. That and I've mentioned GetRIL as suggested in the thread.

Thanks for keeping my ass covered in this thread :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No problem. ;)

My only concern is that the file is bigger than the other radio files... Not sure if it will flash properly... I don't have time to mess with it atm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Will that new korean radio firmware work with a scandinavian GSM Galaxy Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Assuming it flashes, then yes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
What do you think could be added to it since it's bigger than the others?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarcoPolo78:
At&t

I'm new to the Gnex world ( just got it yesterday) , just wondering which one works the best for At&t ? Or is it more of where you're located ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
I'd say either UGLC1 or UGLA4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarcoPolo78:
Thank you sir :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Can't be much. We are only taking less than 1.8KB bigger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashidi_zin:
It seems that I can't flash it via fastboot.

sudo ./fastboot-linux flash radio KRLB1.img
sending 'radio' (12290 KB)... OKAY
writing 'radio'... FAILED (remote: Write Fail)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Thanks for testing. I was concerned that it wouldn't flash. I'll see if I can get another dump from the OP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rashidi_zin:
You're welcome. I tried flashing it via CWM and it works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Thanks again! I'm all out of thanks for today, but I'll be sure to catch you tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcsww:
Does anyone know where I can get the RIL for the UGLA4? I tried GetRIL but it downloads and installs XXLA2 when I select UGLA4. If in file form, CWM flashable would be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gucci.Nexus:
1) What are MD5SUMS? Do they do anything to improve the radio/phone?

2) Does someone have a link for the UGKK7 radio please? The link is not working for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
1) md5sum is to verify that the file you have had not been corrupted in the transfer process. And indeed: link is broken. Will fix.

Edit: Link to md5sum should be fixed now.

2) links are just below the listed baseband in various formats and mirrors? No?

Edit 2: Tested all download links. They all work. I don't get it :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] total360:
Anyone had any luck with getting the latest radio from Korea to flash using fastboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Apparently the CWM file flashes fine. But the image will not flash in fastboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
I'll look into later. Completely forgot about that. Oopsie.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The OP re-dumped it, and I fixed it. My post is updated. The only thing that remains I guess is your mirror.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
In that I case I guess you leave me no choice: File and MD5sums updated. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcsww:
Thanks! For some reason, the UGLC1 causes battery drain to increase almost double on my device. I'm hoping the LA4 will be almost as good but with better battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgito:
..let us know about batt.drain with that radio please...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ntorresla:
some radio you guys can reccomend me to southamerica's radio?

here we use utms 850 with 3G and 850 in gsm (2g)..

both very slow... 3G here is about 350 kbps/sec and 2G 16kbps/sec

thanks in advance...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chinoquezada:
Ive had a good experience with UGLC1 in low signal environments.

Currently trying out KRLB1 (the newest one and considered pretty much a new version of UGLC1)

Remember to use the Get Ril app to match your ril.

(the app cant currently find a RIL for KRLB1 but the UGLC1 currently available should suffice for now)

(anyone have a link for a KRLB1 ril btw? just in case)

EDIT: I'm in your location on Movistar
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The KRLB1 uses the same RIL as the KRKL1 radio, not the UGLC1 radio..

And how did you come up with the idea that the KRLB1 radio is a new version of UGLC1?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Faideelah:
I flashed the UGLC1 RIL yesterday to match my radio(UGLC1) and I'm starting to get data drops. I can't even connect to the internet right now. I tried rebooting, reflashing the RIL, resetting the APN, and everything else mentioned in this thread. The data drop just comes and goes whenever it pleases. Note that I have been using XXLA2 RIL for the past couple weeks with the UGLC1 radio with no problems.

Any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
Doing a nandroid backup before flashing system-components on your production phone :)

RIL or other component, this is always a good idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kosmogon:
Any suggestions for or experiences with radios in Austria? Any Recommendations? I'm using "3" as a provider btw ...
