Hi I've got an unlocked gnex from Google play. I brought it with me to Okinawa japan to use on softbanks network. So far I get no data connection at all. I've tried the xx radios and 2 of the do como radios with no luck. Is this possible? I looked up softbanks freq bands and they are supported on the gnex. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you a lot for your awesome help! I've just updated the GetRIL database with the details from your post. If you ever find the missing RILs, please hit me up again. Within GetRIL hit the update button and you will be good to go. Btw, will soon release a new version (0.9.3) of GetRIL too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sk3201:
I flashed ril kl1 and getril app says I have la2 ril. So what's correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
1) you need to be more specific. There is no kl1 ril... there is ugkl1, xxkl1, etc.

2) I mentioned previously that there may be rils that are the same. I did not verify it though.

3) it is possible that I made a mistake in uploading the file. Why not help out and verify which one it is? Download one of the ROMs and pull out the /system/vendor/lib/libsec-ril.so file.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sk3201:
Sorry, I meant xxkl1. Was just thinking someone can quickly help out. If I have the time I will check it out.

What exactly is doing the ril?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Any idea why I would get HSPA:11 with UGLA4, but with XXLA2 and UGLC1 I get HSDPA:9? I'm on Telus. Signal strengths don't seem majorly affected so (provided it's displaying correctly) does that mean UGLA4 works better on Telus than the others?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
A higher number does not necessarily mean a higher speed/better signal, they're just different types of connections. There was a post somewhere on XDA that said the difference but don't worry about the number or if it's HSDPA,HSUPA or HSxPA. Just look at signal strength dBm

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Thanks, I was reading that thread last night and was reading up on that stuff awhile back but the way I understood it HSPA = HSDPA + HSUPA, so HSPA would technically allow faster upload too? Anyway, that was my only thought as to why it might be better. Please correct me if I'm wrong. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
I don't think that's necessarily true (someone let me know if I'm wrong). That statement of HSPA = HSDPA + HSUPA doesn't mean the sum of the speeds, it just means that data is being both downloaded (for instance, streaming music) and uploaded (for instance, using Google Drive to upload) simultaneously. It's an indication of the type of connection, not the speed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] truthlesshero:
has anyone tried the SC04DOMLE3 for telus in Canada? or I guess.. either Bell or Rogers for that matter?

The coding is a bit different since it's not for our model per se..but it's supposed to work just as good and i'm wondering if the connection is just as good or better

we (girlfriend has a gnex too) live in an area with pretty crappy coverage so every little bit i can get helps..hehe

i saw efrant is still on xxla2..since he seems to be a radio-savant and in Canada, that might be the way to go for me too, hehe
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
:)

I'm using XXLA2 just because I flashed it with the IMM76D update, and I haven't bothered to change it. I honestly haven't seen that much difference among the different radios at all. From the comments on the forums though, it seems like UGLC1 is the way to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osm0sis:
Yes, that's my understanding of it too; connection type. But that should mean that HSDPA only allows downloading at higher speeds, where HSPA should allow both downloading and uploading at higher speeds, no? Perhaps making UGLA4 preferrable to me since it's the only one that shows that? Maybe? haha. I have no idea. I'd love to know why UGLA4 shows HSPA and UGLC1 shows HSDPA though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
I think most of them are very similar to each other. Well, except from that new korean radio which seems to be just a few kb's bigger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
They are all the same size.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
I thought you said the latest KRBL-something radio was a little bigger than the usual radios?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
I don't think that makes sense. If I'm wrong someone please point it out. The connection type shouldn't have any reflection on the download/upload speeds. Having HSPA in a terrible signal area will give you slower speeds than HSPDA in a good signal area, regardless of upload or download. If you want an estimate of your speeds, check out the speedtest app.

Also, does UGLC1 never change out of HSPDA? Does UGLA4 never change from HSPA?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
The guy who dumped it initially didn't do it properly. The latter one I posted was fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] X3FBrian:
Noob here about radios. Running AOKP on verizon gnex, I'm assuming flashing radios increases signal strength perhaps? I would love to have a tad bit better data signal at work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No, what osm0sis wrote DOES make sense. HSPA is just a term that refers to both HSDPA and HSUPA together. Nothing more. That said, I'm not sure what it refers to specifically in Android.

Saying HSPA is faster or slower than HSDPA does not make sense, as HSDPA is the downlink part of HSPA...

Additionally, throughput depends not only on signal strength, but as well as protocol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] superbobup:
Yes! That's what I've been trying to say haha. HSPA = HSDPA + HSUPA but having HSPA or HSDPA does not make one faster than the other in download.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes. That is what osm0sis said... :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dralways:
Will anyone recommend which radio performs the best with a Tmo sim in the US?

My first android phone, a cheap LG Optimus T, received a constant 3-4 out of 4 bars in my home. My Gnex costs near 10x as much and gets very, very poor reception at my particular location which frustrates me to unspeakable terms. I happened to spend all day today flashing all different radios and got absolutely nowhere except for a nice -71dBm constant full 4 of 4 signal with the Australian radio DVKK6, though I was only able to receive Edge/2g speeds which is absolutely unacceptable.

Anyone?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Guys, I have here the Galaxy X ICL53F RIL! The UIKL3 one.

Many thanks to Wisefreakz for providing it!

EDIT: Forgot to attach it. Now it's attached!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Thanks. I've attached it to the same post as the others.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Cool. :)

I'll keep scouting and posting more as I find them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Perfect. Teamwork!

"Sorry, you are limited to 8 thanks per day", but "thanks" anyway!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Haha, you're welcome. I'm only too happy to help!

EDIT: I also now have the M420KRKL1 RIL, credit to Phone_user for providing it!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Thanks.

On an slightly unrelated note: if anyone wants to help out, maybe you could verify that I didn't accidentally put the same RIL in two files, particularly the XXLA2 and KRLB1 RILs. I.e., download the ROMs they came from, and check the MD5 of the RILs in the ROMs with the RILs I posted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
On it.

EDIT: The RIL file in both zips have the same MD5.

EDIT2: The MD5 of both RIL files matches both the XXLA2 RIL from a CM9 package and the MD5 of the RIL in the KRLB1 package.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Great. Thank you for checking. (I'll hit you up with a bunch of thanks tomorrow.)

So, it would seem that that one or both of the following is true:

1) The RILs for XXLA2 and KRLB1 are the same, AND/OR

2) The system image from which I extracted the supposed KRLB1 RIL (here) was not really a yakjukr IMM76K system image.

EDIT: It makes sense that CM9 has the XXLA2 RIL given that it is based of IMM76I
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gtwannabe:
Ugh... switching from European to US baseband and RIL didn't help. No data when I went into town for lunch today.

Ha...well I thought he was trying to say HSPA download speeds > HSDPA download speeds...oh well, it's all clear to everyone now then...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Efrant: a MAJOR thanks to rabug for providing the RIL files for SC04DOMLA1 and SC04DOMKKD. Source post.

I also attached a KRKL1 fix since I kind of failed with the previous cwm package (forgot the flash script)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Thank you. Looks like we need only two more:

M420KRKK7 (RIL found in yakjukr ITL41F)

I9250UGKK7 (RIL found in yakjuux ITL41D)

And we need to find another source for this one:

M420KRLB1 (RIL found in yakjukr IMM76K), other than this.

For the band selection

Can we edit the source of nexus

android testing mode to get this function?

in original android

have a Testing mode (all android phone can enter this mode)

*#*#4636#*#*

Phone information->press menu button , then select radio band->show Set GSM/UMTS band

it have six option, and i tested them in my GS2

they select the band as below (set in testing mode and go to GS2 service mode *#2263# confirm)

Automatic = All band

EURO Band = WCDMA 2100 only

USA Band = WCDMA 1900 & 850 only

JAPAN Band = WCDMA 2100 only

AUS Band = WCDMA 2100 & 850 only

AUS2 Band = WCDMA 850 only

(nexus may be have a little different as nexus have 1700)

I want to set 900 only in my nexus, but i got no way to set it

Do the source of this testing mode

have information for lock the phone receive 850/900/1700/1900/2100 only?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] craigcrawford1988:
KRLB1 seems to be the only radio that doesn't have data dropouts for me. However it is slower than the others.

The European ones heat up my phone like no tomorrow and drain the battery like mad, with few data dropouts and high speed.

The American ones are nice and fast but the data dropouts are like 4-5 times per day.

The Japanese ones don't work at all for me.

I have a UK Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
Efrant: The KRLB1 RIL must be the same as the XXLA2 RIL. I got a KRLB1 RIL from phone_user, from his stock ROM nandroid backup and even that had the same md5 string as any XXLA2 RIL.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yeah, I just re-verified the MD5's on both of them, and it does look like they are the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sibbor:
That's not too uncommon. I've made sure that GetRIL can handle this.

Thanks efrant and all others for reporting RILs and helping us out. I've update GetRIL to reflect the latest findings. Within GetRIL make sure to hit the update button and you should be good to go!

:-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Hi sibbor, I downloaded your app today to find that my bb & ril don't match. My baseband is DVLE1. There is no matching ril in the free app. I have a nandroid of the ota factory image that it came with. I'm. Guessing that my ril got changed when I flashed cm9. Where in the nandroid would I find the ril? What is it called? Can I extract it using root explorer? Also, can I extract the radio.img using root explorer so I can upload it here.

.....memoirs of a flash addict.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
You can probably extract it. :)

The ril file is called libsec-ril.so and lies within /system/vendor/lib
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Can you also dump your radio? I don't think we have that one listed in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
What is the process to extract a radio firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You need root of course. Plug into a computer and open a command prompt. Type:

adb shell

su

dd bs=256 count=49153 if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/radio of=/sdcard/radio.img

exit

exit

adb pull /sdcard/radio.img
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Can I just use root explorer to navigate to dev/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/radio and extract the radio.img? And use the same method to extract the ril also. Radio is DVKE1 RIL is KRLB1.

.....memoirs of a flash addict.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You can do that for the ril but I'm not sure it will work for the radio. It may not give you the full image.

EDIT: We already have the KRLB1 RIL though. What build are you running?

EDIT 2: If you want, you can do it via a terminal emulator on your device as well. Just don't type in the first and last commands.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Can't remember the full build number. It's IMM76K. Forced the ota on Saturday. Rooted, took a nandroid & flashed a custom rom straight away. I would have to restore my nandroid to get the full build number. I'll use terminal to extract the radio though and upload it.

.....memoirs of a flash addict.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Here is DVLE1 radio.img for Australia. By the way, you forgot to add block/ directory to your command path.

Btw, what is "block/ directory" ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
DVLE1 radio (from yakjudv IMM76K-from-ITL41F update)

Source is here. Thanks stumpy352!

Fastboot image and CWM-flashable file attached.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Do you think you could grab one more thing from your device?

Could you look in the files in /cache and see if there is a file name in there that has "yakjudv" in it and ends in zip? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
dd bs=256 count=49153 if=/dev/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/radio of=/sdcard/radio.img

Is incorrect. Should be...

dd bs=256 count=49153 if=/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/radio of=/sdcard/radio.img

And is it possible to get a matching ril for this radio or will the one I quoted earlier be fine since that's the combo google sent in the ota?

.....memoirs of a flash addict.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Oops. :o I didn't even notice that! Thanks.

No, the RIL you have is the correct RIL for that radio. It just happens to be the same as the KRLB1 and XXLA2 RILs.

Do you think you could get the name of the update file for me?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Don't have that file. Running custom rom. Should I restore the nandroid of the factory image and search that?

.....memoirs of a flash addict.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Nooo! No need to restore. :) Just look in the cache.ext4.tar file located in your CWM backup directory. Look in the /cache/recovery directory and look through the log files there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Nah sorry. I have only recovery/log & /last_log.

.....memoirs of a flash addict.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
How can I get this from a nandroid?

.....memoirs of a flash addict.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yes! The name of the file should be listed in one of those logs
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
If you use root explorer, just navigate to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/<a bunch of numbers>/cache.ext4.tar/cache/recovery and open the log files in a text editor. There should be a file name in there that is something like 555555.yakjudv.imm76l-from-icl53f.zip. I need the exact name of that file. Thanks again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
No, nothing like that. All the build numbers mention koush, so I'm guessing this has something to do with cwm. How about the build.prop from the nandroid? Would that suffice?

.....memoirs of a flash addict.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No it won't. Thanks for trying though. I wanted to get the name to add it to the "update" link in my signature for others to be able to update to that build.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Is this what you're after?

ro.build.description=yakjudv-user 4.0.4 IMM76K I9250TDVLE1 release-keys

Or..

ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/yakjudv/maguro:4.0.4/IMM76K/I9250TDVLE1:user/release-keys

.....memoirs of a flash addict.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] segv11:
I wonder if the numbers in those update urls are predictable. I'm on my phone and don't feel like downloading all of them until I get back to my machine, but I wonder if the numbers are related to the MD5 or SHA1 hash of the file.

I don't think that helps in this case (he doesn't have the file either) but I'm just curious.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No, it should be something like ebde59914015.update.zip or

6391c9a66208.update_yakjukr_ICL53F_to_IMM76K.zip but obviously with different numbers and prob yakjudv in the name.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Maybe, but as you said, it won't help at all anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Wouldn't any cache history of the ota update been wiped when I unlocked my bootloader anyway? Thus looking for this file is pointless?

.....memoirs of a flash addict.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] segv11:
Unlock wipes userdata, not cache.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
We got the file. Look the last few posts in the "update" link in my sig. Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Ahh. So you already had it. Cool. I'm with vodafone too. But I had to force the update by clearing data in google services framework/check for update about 10 times before I got it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr Byte:
Up and running on my yakju 4.0.4 phone with the xxlf1 radio.

First reactions: marginally better wifi reception (never had a -44dBm before from this distance, but that's 5G/.n)

No perceptible difference in signal strength from the cell towers (-75 - -97dbM, hovering mainly about -80dbM) that I get with every radio.

No perceptible difference in data throughput either; three tests with SpeedTest, 2.4/3.9/4.7Mbps down, 1.2Mbps up)

No perceptible difference in GPS lock time (still woeful at 17secs every time.)

Always comes up in "GSM ONLY" - I still have to manually change to "WCDMA Preferred" and change it to the AUS2 band after a boot. The only radio/RIL that selects the proper values at boot is TDVKK6. All the others pick GSM only (Edge2). This may be just the cell I'm in, or just my carrier.

No "real" difference from xxla2 or dvle1. I'd still recommend the TDVKK6 radio/RIL for Telstra until they pull their finger out and release their variant of 4.0.4... which will no doubt be well after JellyBean is out!

I posted off the data within GetRIL.

@efrant: the radio image ZIP is named incorrectly in the post; it's xxlf1 not fl1 :)

JB Radio

Anyone tried JB on Australian Vodafone yet? I found that the radio that came with 4.0.4 did not work at all with Aus Vodafone. I see JB comes with a new radio. If I flash and it does not work, can I flash an ICS radio (DVKK6 is what I have to use with 4.0.4 now) onto JB?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josteink:
I would assume so, but I cannot make any guarantees.

If you want to back up your efs partition, just to this:

Newest radio is getting me 5/1 mbps on a random test in downtown Oslo.

But I also updated to Jelly Bean and everything is much more snappy so it's hard to tell if what parts of the perceived performance increase comes from the radio itself.

I've not tried JB yet, but I've pulled the radio onto my 4.0.4 CM9 variant (paranoid) along with the RIL posted on the previous page, and it's working pretty well.
