By chance anyone has a cwm zip for SC04DOMMD4 or SC04DOMLK2 radios?

I'm using SC04DOMLE3 radio on my SC-04d here in Trinidad on the Digicel Network and I get really good signal/data speed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
We've never heard tell of them until now. If you can find them or the OTAs they come from I'll gladly complete the (apparently incomplete) collection. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Follow-up: I guess we did already hear about OMLK2. ;)

[MENTION=2052641]Skylined[/MENTION] Doesn't appear to have been a new baseband in either OTA: http://chimtty.blogspot.ca/2013/05/galaxy-nexussc-04dandroid-422-sc04d.html?m=1

OMLE3 was the last for that region.

Huge relief, the collection is still complete and in the right order. :p

hi guys

i was wondering is my galaxy nexus can support some new frequency bands for LTE?

My phone has a baseband for europe right now XX....

is that possible?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
If you're running an XX radio you have a GSM device, not LTE. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skylined:
Have a look here at the build number section

https://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/smt/support/utilization/product_update/list/sc04d/

I also checked the OTA zips and the only zips that have radio patches are

94ec403ff247.update_yakjusc_ITL41D_to_ICL53F.zip

299ced9f31ad.update_yakjusc_LA1_LE3_ICL53F_to_IMM76K.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yes, so as you can see, just by looking at the filenames you posted, LE3 was the last with a radio patch. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LibertyMonger:
I have been having data loss issues lately, having to reboot to get data to work every other time I try to use it. I never had this issue before I will have to see if it continues on another device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] santi1993:
hI, which radio works better with AT&T network?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
The one that works best for anyone can only be determined by testing different ones that have been mentioned multiple times in this thread. Or unless someone here lives in the same town as you, works at the same place as you, and goes to all the same places as you, you will have to test yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mfsr98:
Hi, I'm using the european i9250 nexus. Which one is the best baseband, just the most recent? sorry for noobing around but I don't install nothing on my phone for a long time :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] santi1993:
Ok youre right, thx for help me.

Rewrite my question:

Of the posted Basebands, which are the bests (2 o 3 that uve tested, sorry my english) for ATT network?

QUESTION

:confused: Hi friends,

For this model i9250, is the baseband really interchangeable via flash

Currently my phone is on band 1700/2100AWS .

If I travel, or change provider with (*) 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 or 850 / 1900 / 2100

Can I just choose a baseband with (*) and flash ? Does doing this will require a new RIL or nothing to worry ?

Will it actually work Well enough, considering the antenna (and transceiver hardware) is not the same ?

T H A N K Y O U
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Culex316:
You can safely flash any baseband and it will work on any carrier with any frequency 850/1900/1700/2100/900 whatever.

However, some basebands may get better reception/performance with some frequencies/cell carriers than others but that is up to you to experiment and try.

For instance, most basebands I've tried work great with T-Mobile here in South Florida, USA but one baseband from Australia prevented my phone from picking up AWS 3G (1700 band)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rseiler:
That was the case for here, too. I'm on Wind in Canada which uses 1700 (or maybe 2100). I had been on XXLF1 but decided to try DVMK1. No connection. So I backtracked to the one that looked like it came with the next-newest version of Android (XXLJ1) and all was well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droiduzr2:
Hey I am using Wind in GTA.

What speeds are you getting with downloads and uploads?

I see 3G and H+ sometimes.

I am using a different modem than you. I am using the one in the North America list UGLA4 and it seems to be working well.

How are you for signal and sound quality?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sintoo:
This is the thing that I wanted to be sure: OKAY to convert this phone from band 1700/2100AWS INTO the "more common" GSM/3G/4G (*) 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 or 850 / 1900 / 2100 ?

My recollection is: "typical" GSM/3G/4G phones from US, although they won't work in ASIA with slightly different frequency, but will work as soon as you flash the right Baseband (or a modem which makes it Penta-World-band).

BUT : The 1700/2100AWS bands are so special that many phones don't have the right antenna / the right chip / the right hardware for it, to "work well" (signal-wise).

Only a very few phones are True AWS <-> GSM "convertable" . That why I wonder if anyone has convert from 1700/2100AWS to GSM and confirm it works well enough.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Culex316:
1700/2100 AWS IS GSM...it's just another GSM frequency. The Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, and other pentaband phones are also proof that it's entirely possible to design a phone whose antennas function well on all those frequencies.

However, the baseband software (i.e. radio) may have different parameters for radio signal strength, and who knows what else that are tailored for a specific region (i.e. make phone pick up 850Mhz band more quickly or optimize X process etc.), but since those radios are closed-source binary blobs, we don't really know what the hell was changed there, so the only way to find out what works great for you is trial and error.

Advantage baseband I9250TDVMK1

Hi ,

This is a good thread to know about all related to galaxy nexus baseband. I would share a result which can help other to decide -

I bought GNEX in Canada and was looking for WB-AMR capability. Tried some basebands from AUSTRALIA , based on info that Telstra is using WB-AMR with GNEX.

Baseband tried -

I9250TDVKK6

I9250TDVLF1

I9250TDVMK1

Result -

None of these versions actually enabled WB-AMR support ( I also changed the build.prop file for WB-AMR support). Information is concrete because I looked at the protocol negotiation with the network and GNEX did not reported support for WB-AMR.

Latest baseband (I9250TDVMK1) has an advantage. The handling of 3G HSDPA is much better. The other 2 baseband would try to connect to network immediately when there is data , bringing GNEX out of idle. The DVMK1 will actually buffer the data and will trigger a connection towards network after a certain threshold. In my testing DVKK6/DVLF1 were getting out of idle mode 3 times more than DVMK1. What this means is better battery life. I tested at same location one by one therefore nothing external caused this change of behaviour.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Culex316:
Just got these speeds with the UGLL1 baseband on T-Mobile USA in South Florida (at 2 am, I practically have the cell tower to myself lol)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kurtextrem:
DVMK1 vs UGLL1? Is the "latest DB#" worth it? (And what's it for to begin with)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Up to you entirely. Let us know if the newest DB# seems better than the latest built in your area. :good:

P.S. for everyone: I just rehosted all the files on BasketBuild since Dev-Host has been peddling adware apks lately if you don't run an adblocker.. :mad:

I'll leave the Dev-Host files up as a mirror for the counts and sorting, since BasketBuild doesn't support sorting by upload date (yet). :)

Not the correct thread, but yeah, clearly something messed up when I was uploading. I'll fix it in a bit, either tonight or Monday since I'm already busy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lollipop:
it's tuesday ....waiting....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Two points:

1) This is not the correct thread to discuss that. This thread is for GNex radios.

2) osm0sis is under no obligation to update anything, so please don't make posts like "when is it coming" or "waiting", etc.. You already made him aware of the issue, and he'll update it when he updates it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Thank you.

Turns out everything I uploaded to BasketBuild was corrupt... scripts should be good now, but now on to the far-more-tedious reupload of ALL the radios, in order... again. :(

Of course, for the impatient, everything we're talking about has still been mirrored on my Dev-Host all along. Just use an adblocker. ;)

Use a version of TWRP that isn't broken. ;)

2.7.1.0 from the FML thread supports f2fs; use it until either @bsmitty83 or @MWisBest find time to build 2.8.1.0. :good:

DVMK1: Original post -- *** NEWEST RADIO ***

Fastboot: Original post, BasketBuild

CWM: Original post, BasketBuild

- Originally for Australian GT-i9250T, Telstra and Vodafone.

- Originally from yakjudv JWR66Y Jelly Bean 4.3 OTA update.

From from Australia, now in New Zealand wants to put the phone on 2degrees. How would I go about that? do I flash a new RIL, would I need to root the phone first to do that?

Thanks in advance

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ygvuhb:
hi Do anyone know how to figure out the phone receiving which type singal?

i am using galaxy s2 and s1, it can type service code

*#*#0011#*#*

to check it is using UMTS900/UMTS2100

but this code does not work on galaxy nexus

and i can lock the phone only receive one type of singal

can galaxy nexus do the samething?

in gs2/gs1, i can lock on UMTS900 as it give better connect indoor (UMTS2100 get no signal indoor), and i change back to auto when go outdoor

*#*#4636#*#* also work in gs2/gs1

but it cannot show the type of signal and cannot lock them
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ygvuhb:
the network chip in the japanese Docomo galaxy nexus SC-04D

should not be same as the original galaxy nexus

as the SC-04D support UMTS 800mhz & 2100mhz

galaxy nexus support UMTS 850/900/1700/1900/2100MHz

so the docomo radio may not work when put in the original nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
The "800 MHz" band VI used in Japan is just a subset of the "850 MHz" band V used globally.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ygvuhb:
do we have any app to confirm the phone receive which signal 800/ 850/900/1700/1900/2100MHz ? (like service mode ings1 &gs2 )

if yes we can flash the eur rodio in. sc-04d and found out can it receive

other signal or not

otherwise we still have no prove for they have the same chip or not
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
There's no such service mode, and even if there were, it wouldn't tell you anything because software frequently contains references to bands unsupported by hardware.

What I can tell you is that the SC-04 radio files work in Canada on the i9250, on a frequency band that isn't even licensed for use in Japan (AWS). If the radio chip were significantly different, the Japanese radio files wouldn't even be compatible with my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ygvuhb:
m.gsmarena.com/network-bands.php3?sCountry=CANADA

i checked the signal in canda in this web

which canada also have 2100mhz

it is same as japan

so that's why you can still use network but only receive 2100mhz signal, no 850 1700&1900

i don't why google have not the service mode like gs2/gs1,

if we have ,we can check which signal we are receiving

do developer have any idea to build a app to check the umts mhz?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wraithxt1:
Are you sure about that? I'm about to take my Galaxy Nexus back to Japan in four days, wondering if it's going to work.

I also have an HTC HD2 that supports 850 mhz, so are you saying it should work on carriers that use the 800mhz band?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I dont think the japan 800 is the same and wont work.

Also there is no 2100 in canada anywhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ygvuhb:
please help to report the 3g ststus when you come back japan?

by using eur radio & sc-04d radio

hope it can prove they have the same hardware or not

thanks

hi which mhz umts canada using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wisefreakz:
Thanks my friend.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If by 2100, you mean band I, then yeah, you are right. But we have some carriers that use band IV (or AWS) like Wind, Mobilicity, Videotron, which uses 2100MHz on the downlink and 1700MHz on the uplink.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Rogers, Bell, Telus (and affiliate brands) use bands II and V, the others use band IV
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmstlist:
GSMArena is on crack. Canada does not use 2100. AWS is not the same as 2100.

What I am telling you is, when I flashed an SC-04 baseband to my i9250, I was still able to use the AWS band on my carrier, WIND Mobile. AWS Band IV is not licensed for use in Japan.

The frequencies of Band VI are a subset of Band V. The channel numbers appear to line up correctly too and the pairing is the same. I think it was just labelled separately because the rest of Band V is not licensed to operate in Japan. The only thing I can see that might be a bit different is that 830-840/875-885 does not neatly fit into either of the A or B spectrum blocks that are delineated in the US and Canada. But each individual paired channel in Band VI is a channel that exists in Band V. So it seems to me a typical Band V phone should be able to access Band VI without modification.

It may be that the SC-04D radio specifically tunes the device to exclude the rest of Band V and only look at the subset that is legal in Japan. I think I have heard of people on CDN 850 MHz carriers reporting that they get choppy or absent reception on 850 MHz when using the Japanese radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ygvuhb:
hi all

is that have any way lock galaxy nexus

only receive a specific umts mhz band?

because my phone always jump to 2100 but get bad signal , cannot get in interent

it work fine on umts 900mhz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
No this is not possible on the nexus. Yes the sgs2 had this service menu. But the nexus does not have this option.

---------- Post added at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 AM ----------

Canada uses 850 and 1900, and 1700/2100(aws). That is not the same as the euro 2100 and euro 2100 will not work in canada. It needs to specifically be aws 1700/2100 paired for uplink and downlink.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ygvuhb:
can developer build the app to lock the umts mhz?

and change back to auto?

and the canada have the same hardware as eur galaxy nexus? but different radio ?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] king23adrianc:
nice to see u here too :D

i dunno about that.. but for sure i know its after i flashed UGLA4 from XXKK6. my connection is better and a bit better reception
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] steve.garon:
Thx. Decided to flash and answered my own question... its not capped.

6.54Mbps Down

1.10Mbps Up

This is some seriously fast speed compared to my old NS!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JasonD416:
Has anybody (Canadian carriers) found a baseband that improves their Wi-Fi? I can't get anywhere close to the range my laptop gets. In my garage my laptop gets 25mbps full while, my Gnex struggles to make 8mbps (oddly enough my upload is strong at 4mbps). They both have N support so I don't see why the range deteriorates so quick on my phone.

I've tried UGKK7 and UGLA4, noticed no range difference, both tested on three different routers (and every channel, and N only which performed atrociously on my GNex). From what I read I am assuming those are the only two compatible in Canada, unless I'm blind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tr82691:
Have you tried any of the XX bands yet? I'm on UGLA4 here in socal and get great reception and speeds... have no problem with wifi either.. always at 3-4 bars
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JasonD416:
Thanks for the quick response and suggestion tr82691. So I gave both xxkk6 and xxkl1, at first I thought their was a substantial improvement but it seems like that's only applicable to my WRT310N and not my Sagemcom 2864. I have them set on channels 1 and 11, I noticed previously though that my Gnex picks up channel 1 much better, including on the Sagemcom.

My area has interference and my house is wood/plaster walls rather than dry wall so that definitely has some accountability. But for example my living room and kitchen on opposite sides of a wall both get 23-25mbps, if I walk down four stairs from kitchen it drops to 5mbps.

I'm going to more thoroughly test different base bands and just go by the reception on Wi-Fi Analyzer rather than the Speedtest.net app. I'll post up results with numerous basebands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tr82691:
No problem.... what I ended up doing was adding a wifi repeater midway through my house to boost signal a bit instead of buying a whole new router... if you got money to spend I might suggest picking one up.

hi all

i finally got a japanese galaxy nexus SC-04D

discuss the 3g chip before is it the same as original galaxy nexus

i test my phone today, and test all the radio in this thread

but i still cannot enable the 3g 900mhz which get better indoor signal (in my office)

i also have a galaxy s2, when it is using 3g 900mhz get full signal, no problem when using internet

but only 0-1 signal bar during receive 2100mhz and cannot get into internet

i sure gs2 got 900mhz or 2100mhz as i check from the service mode (*#*#0011#*#*)

but the galaxy nexus have not this service mode and my SC-04D only get 0-2 signal bar, and 50% time cannot get into internet,

it seems the phoen only use 2100mhz

Is they really have the same 3g chip

if yes, any idea to open that 3g 900mhz

or lock/unlock to use the 900mhz

hope some developer can help me:(

Can we edit this menu (*#*#4636#*#* ->phone information->set preferred network type:)

to add more function to lock specific 3g band?

like galaxy s2's service mode?

Hello,

I am running the stock ROM 4.02 rooted, and I just flashed the newest UGLA4 modem.

Question... when I receive the next OTA from Google, will it also replace the radio ?

(That is, if I can get an OTA update at all, which I am not even sure of because it´s rooted)

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
The phone supports 900, but we cant force it to 900. And it seems like your network just wont switch to the stronger freq. Not sure you can do anything about it...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Having root makes no difference whatsoever. You will receive notification of the update, but, unless you revert back to the XXKK6 radio (if you are on the yakju build), the update won't install (without modification). Just flash back the XXKK6 radio when you receive notification, it will update, then flash back whatever radio you want.

Wonder if there is a way to force it to a certain freq, that we haven't figured out yet?
