Radio is Awesome!

I have previously flashed radios and have never had any improvement or noticed any thing better or worse. However, I am compelled to leave a comment regarding this radio as these new radios have made a huge difference in performance on 3g and especially on 4g. I have great 4g reception in areas where I previously had weak reception. Also my download and upload speeds have increased significantly. I have never previously had such an improvement after flashing a new radio. I can say without a doubt that these radios for me have made a significant improvement. I recommend giving them a try.

Speaking specifically -75 is a higher number than -83. So it may seem that lower is better but in reality the higher the number the better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ilpleasu:
Where did your source of information come from?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] impulse101:
He is right the higher number is better, but everyone knows this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Sorry bud the higher dbm # is not good you want the lowest # possible

Edit sorry you meant lower means higher :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swagner53:
Another plug for MUCH better reception- 4g where I had none previously and improved 3g. Also switching between them is MUCH faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Homan13PSU:
From what I've heard do NOT update your PRL's on a 4G Verizon phone. Doing so will lock your SIM card into 3G only. I believe that LTE automatically resets its PRL everytime you reboot the device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lucas.scott:
Or it will fry the sim all together.. It's just not a great move really.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ccrazythunder:
Math class......-75 is greater than -83. -75 is a higher number than -83 not lower.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crankerchick:
I didn't forget the 99. I left it out on purpose. 4G phones update the PRL automatically so you shouldn't dial it on a 4G phone. Some say bad things happen. I don't know about that, but you don't need to dial it or *22899 for that matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] timbck2:
He means that -75 is technically a higher number than -93 (-75 is "less negative" than -93).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ccrazythunder:
I have updated my PRL in this manner multiple times and it didn't fry my SIM card. There have been no reports of this happening to phones other than the Thunderbolt. It will successful update your PRL however there is no way of going back to the previous PRL if the new one is not working as good as the old one. The only way of going back to the old one is to get a new SIM card. In my experience the old 15XXX PRL was better than the new 5XXXX PRL.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nswenson:
I see a lot of talk about improved signal strength. I was under the impression that signal strength is not affected by radio version, but rather radio affects the hand off between and 2G/3G/4G and how aggressively the signal is held at each band. I don't see how a radio could change signal strength as the signal comes from a tower and the phone is just measuring the strength of that signal. The radio is also responsible for determining how much the phone needs to boost the send signal based on the strength of received signal. The more aggressively the radio keeps a signal, the more battery you'll use because it takes more send power to send data if signal is weak.

Anyway, I don't see much if any signal strength difference, but my phone seems to hold onto 4G a little better than the leaked 4.0.4 radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Updated to these radios and I lost signal every time I used wifi hot spot. I switched back to the old 4.0.4 radios and don't have the same issue.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonsgirl:
Same here and I'm pretty sure my battery life has improved some.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Homan13PSU:
Flashed the zip earlier today. Tough to tell what impact this had on signal, but then again my office doesn't exactly provide great service spots.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] otis_bartleh:
lol, yeah, we're talking negative numbers here, looks like some don't realize that...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxxdc5:
Just flashed using CWM touch and everything looks fine. Both radios flashed ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cam30era:
I have not been able to get a GPS lock with the IMM76K radios. Was running the leaked 4.0.4 radios for the past couple of months with no problem. Has anyone else experienced this?

Edit: funny thing, just after posting this I got a GPS lock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphenucleus:
I think GPS is part of the ROM, not the radios (that's how it was on the EVO at least), so you might want to look into issues with the ROM you're on.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cam30era:
IMM76K. Seems to be working OK now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zapote21:
Hmmm Im on CM9 nightlies, and after flashing these radios, I have no hotspot. Settings crash every time I try to turn my hotspot on. Both mine and wife's...

Anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
That's weird. CM9 does not contain radios or a bootloader. You could try removing the bootloader from the flashable .zip and just flashing the radios. The bootloader is the same as the IMM30B 4.0.4 leaked update. I'm just guessing here as I don't know what could be affecting it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zapote21:
Came from the last set of leaked 4.0.4 radios, but all was working fine... Think I will wait for a couple of days, then try a wipe and reinstall
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Do you happen to remember if you flashed the IMM30B 4.0.4 bootloader with the radios? If you did, it isn't the bootloader causing the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xI mEzMeRiZe Ix:
Same thing happened to me on AOKP.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shigenobu:
Have you guys tried to reflash the radio or your kernels? When in doubt make sure the md5sum's match too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Aerocaptain:
After flashing, my Bluetooth headset will only work for media and displays "no phone" in the Bluetooth menu. Both media and phone audio is checked. Anyone else having this issue? Not sure if a radio flash could effect Bluetooth but its a new issue that only arose after I flashed the zip and an updated kernel. Anyone else have this issue?

Sent from CDMA V6 SC GNexus w/Liquid & Franco.kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
I am out of the game for a while, I am currently on official 4.0.2 radios/bootloader.

The only thing I have customized is put AOKP milestone 3 which I know is old.

Can I just flash this with the zip? Anything else I need to do ? Should i update to a 4.0.4 rom first?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgerbracht:
Just flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayDaKissEP:
You may not want to. Battery life is horrible and 3G is slower. Was getting better results on the leaked 4.0.4 earlier this year. I'm flashing back
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
Thanks I did.

Took a really long time flash the cdma radio thought it hung finally finished.

Rebooted, went into phone tried to open browser and screen kept going on and off strangest thing.

Figured maybe I should upgrade rom, so I downloaded the 4.0.4 Official one with root from other thread, so far working fine from what I can see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgerbracht:
Bizarre! Glad you got it sorted out, the cdma radio part worried me too, but I had earlier read someone else mentioned it as taking a long time so I didn't freak out, hehe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tannor:
Yeah it might have nothing to do with radios and just by wiping everything before installing rom fixed it.

Either way I am good..and will test signal later today while travelling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayDaKissEP:
I was seeing horrible battery and 3g speeds. I did the patched update from a different thread where I downgraded to 4.0.2 then applied the patch. I was seeing download sppeds of 0.06 mbps. I just did a bunch of tests and check this out. Went back to 4.0.2 and hit a high of 1.63 mbps and an average of 1.10 after 6 speed tests. Upgraded to the leaked 4.0.4 from earlier this year and averaged 0.56 mbps. then I applied the latest 4.0.4 zip from this OP and I hit a high of 1.49 but then only an average of 0.82. Conclusion, I was getting the best download speeds on 3g with the 4.0.2 radios. Not sure why I was getting horrible 3g download speeds before but like I mentioned above.. I downgraded to 4.0.2 before applying the patch. Not sure what would be different between doing that and then applying the zip in the OP which includes the full files, not just the patch. Any thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fix-this!:
so if im hearing correctly the latest 4.0.4 might not be the final? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
No one knows. Anyone saying anything is just guessing. It came from google's own servers and passes the internal checks for a valid software update when applying through stock recovery. That's good enough for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eus107709:
Thanks for sharing this!

It's very easy for me to tell that overall signal is vastly improved. I work in Manhattan where 4G was spotty in buildings (for the Nexus). After updating my signal is strong and constant.

I have a feeling that for people who previously had great reception, this radio will negatively impact their performance while improving performance for people who had poor signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zapote21:
No. Radios only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mhammerstone:
many thanks!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bnguyen1983:
No problems here after flash. Hotspot still works fine and it seems like I have better reception. Will test after driving around. Speeds are about the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keving75:
I flashed this over Gummy 1.1. Not any real noticeable difference.

I tried to go into fastboot and I go to ODIN instead.

What is that??

What can't I boot into fastboot now?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zapote21:
Went back to old leaked 4.0.4 radios yesterday and nothing. Settings still crash when trying to start hotspot.

Guess I will try to wipe and reflash tonight. Grrrrrrr
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
Has anyone tried the hybrid of the cdma from the previous leak and the new lte? Just curious...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zapote21:
Hmmm... Wiped, formatted, reinstalled CM9 (5-03 nightly), and settings still crash when trying to start hotspot...

Next, I will try a different ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] parrotheadmjb:
hmmm just got 40.02mbp/s down after flashing this.... thats a personal record

Last night I was able to connect my wifes Galaxy Sky rocket by USB and my Pc recognize it as a mass storgage device with no problem for porting over our Itunes music. I then tried to do my Note and it only recognizes my note as a Media player. Any ideas why this is happening or a fix? Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nm3th:
You have to use USB mass storage mode found in settings

Found it. On my wifes Sky Rocket all I had to do was just click on the pull down menu on the phone and say ok to connect. Interesting.

Thank you very much!:)

Here is the most wanted USA T-Mobile Nandroid from my One S.

Download Link for USA T-Mobile Stock Nandroid: Here

Download Link for USA T-Mobile Rooted Nandroid: Here

I added a rooted version and a non-rooted version in-case you want to send your device back.

I don't know why this is wanted but here it is.

Just extract the .zip on ur phones memory and clockworkmod folder should appear.
[HTC One S] nickmv:
Thanks, Reviewer. It's definitely appreciated.

It's wanted for several reasons:

1. because if you lose everything, you'll atleast have the stock ROM to flash back

2. Warranty Service -probably want to flash everything back to stock and relock the bootloader.

3. Modding/Fun/Whatever.

The software configuration, and likely a few settings, are different on the EU roms vs the US one. I would've posted one, but I accidentally deleted /sdcard instead of /system last night (don't flash while half-asleep).

Also, just to confirm -- you didn't back that up with an account on it, did you? Just wanna make sure you're privacy isn't compromised :)
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
I did backup w/ my property on it such as Google account.

.....
[HTC One S] nickmv:
Yeah, see, if I restore that, I've got your account on my machine. That's what I was noting when I said make sure it's not. You can make the backup by first performing a factory reset (via settings). This'll wipe your info off the device.
[HTC One S] joshnichols189:
Might want to remove the link..
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
Why? Is there a problem?
[HTC One S] nickmv:
YES. As I just explained, your Google account is on that ROM you just uploaded. I can access your stuff, delete it, etc. Remove the link!
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
I'll do a factory reset tomorrow and add a new link!
[HTC One S] nickmv:
Thanks. Props on quickly removing it.
[HTC One S] akagoffer:
Might want to change your password too...
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
I'll upload a new build in the morning of this.
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
I already done that.
[HTC One S] itsmikeramsay:
Can't wait for the new upload. Good move with removing the link bro. Protect your account.

Hopefully I can use the kitchen and create a stock zip format of this ROM. Its time to get some stuff going for this....its taking a while since everyone is crazy over the One X lol

Sent from ICS device!
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
One X was released before One S and international and has more interest cause the insides.

This phone will be good as well just wait its a new release and yeah.
[HTC One S] itsmikeramsay:
Once you release that nandroid bro, I'll try and create a update.zip version that people can use as a base. I'll try and implement root and all that cool stuff....we'll see how that goes. Right now I'm in the process of moving from VZW back to T-Mo, partly because my wife wants to, but I want to as well lol....
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
It's 98% then I have to upload the rooted nandroid.

Don't use stuff without asking me permission..

PM me if you want to use my things.
[HTC One S] itsmikeramsay:
Thanks tremendously for the upload bro!
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
No problem about to edit the OP to add in the rooted nandroid.
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
I uploaded both versions of nandroid.

Rooted version and Un-rooted version.

Please comment on the the thread and rate it.
[HTC One S] nightang3l:
I have followed your instructions of extracting the zip in to my phones memory but when I try to restore it says something about md5
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
It was tested before actually uploading it.

Check the MD5 and try re-downloading.
[HTC One S] pyrocide:
I want to have the ability to restore this phone to complete factory defaults, unrooted and on the stock TMO rom that shipped.

I guess I am a bit confused. I was under the impression that rooting allows for changes to the internal SD including the locked out portion of the SD that ICS is on.

Would unzipping the unrooted version of the nandroid unroot the phone in the process?
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
Yes it will unroot.
[HTC One S] nickmv:
Root access is achieved/"stored" in the /system partition that you're not allowed to access. When you flash the stock ROM, unless it's been pre-rooted, then you will lose root access and have to reflash superuser. The idea behind him posting this ROM is so that if for some reason we need to go back to completely stock, we can.
[HTC One S] pyrocide:
Makes perfect sense now. Thanks

Apologies for the new user type questions. First rooted phone and didn't consider i would have to revert back to the stock rom so I didn't make a backup of the TMOUS shipped rom.

Thanks

It's fine nobody has done a backup and I'm the first one who has done it so yeah.

Did I understand right that tmous rom has no 3g/hsdpa switching issues and i can just flash my eu device with that backup? Or would it be enought to flash the radio?

I'm not 100% I didn't have any issues so u shouldn't.

Flash it and tell me.
[HTC One S] ossy1337:
Data seems to be working but I'll do further testing at university in a few hours. Did u manage to remap the buttons already? the cwm zip postet in the one s dev forum won't work for me, neither does replacing the .jar

Edit: Ok the data issue still exists. Probably because cwm won't restore modem so I just have the 0.15 modem.. I think you have 0.16 right? could you upload that? would be nice
[HTC One S] kolyan:
Thanks for the ROM. Just in my for my return :) Have fun with this one of the best phones ever built !\

I am pretty sure its safe to return in any condition, but just to be safe I will lock the bootloader, flash stock ROM and recovery
[HTC One S] pyrocide:
quick question

I dont know if this is a question pertaining specifically to the One S or just CRAPPS in general.

If reloaded with the Rooted version, can the T-Mobile CRAPPS be removed?
[HTC One S] itsmikeramsay:
Yeah guys the radios/rils are a little different from the U.S version to Euro version. It wasn't a huge issue with the Sensation, but apparently it is here.
[HTC One S] FunkyELF:
recovery

This doesn't do the recovery as well does it?

If not can you link to the recovery on the first posting?
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
Ah.

Do you know how to extract a modem? Cause I don't.
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
What do you mean T-Mobile CRAPPS? What is that?
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
This keeps the existing recovery you have.
[HTC One S] FRuiTBoOT:
From what I understand a Nandroid backup doesn't back up the radio, so it won't be in this nandroid. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Sent back in time to find Marty.
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
Correct.

I'm not sure how to backup the radio/modem for you guys.

Even if so I think you need S-OFF to flash radios.
[HTC One S] DiDGR8:
In the immortal words of Emily Litella: "Never Mind." I was trying to install from zip. I extracted the download and put it in the cwm backup folder (like I should have from the beginning). All is well.

Thanks
[HTC One S] ossy1337:
No there was another post where someone offered an older radio from a tmous leak, I thought it could maybe be the 0.16, it was 0.14*** and flashing was no problem. Settings now show baseband 0.14.
[HTC One S] Reviewers:
Impossible.

My baseband is showing 0.16
[HTC One S] ossy1337:
Thats what I said.. I basically said that I flashed the wrong radio but that it is possible to flash a radio through cwm

It would be nice to have the stock recovery linked to from the first post so this thread can be one stop shopping for those wanting to return their devices to T-Mobile.

[HTC One S] setzer715:
Thanks for posting this. Didn't even think to look if there was a full ROM available before I started flashing away with all the EU ROMs.

It's been my observation that this ROM stock (TMO US ROM) runs way smoother than any of the custom EU ROMs out there.

One last observation (I really didn't play with the phone before rooting/flashing) is that the TMO US version does NOT have the flying in desktop when you unlock it. So much better this way. Can't wait for kernel source to see this ROM take off!
