I'm late to the party but I just flashed these after hunting them down to this thread. I flashed them right over AOKP build 40 running Franco Kernal Milestone 4. My signal doesn't appear to have changed. It's ****ty like it was before. I wouldn't really care but according to Verizon's updated coverage map, my house is now included under the full 4G LTE part--not even the 4G LTE extended area. I'll probably call Verizon and complain and at least get them to say sorry :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Metroba:
Was your signal bad before rooting? It seems like my signal got worse when I rooted and started flashing roms/kernals/radios/mods/scripts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taappel:
Signal strength is slightly worse for me than the leaked 4.0.4 radios. Was -83dbm and now getting -91 or -97dbm. This is on 4G in my basement. Haven't done any other extensive testing though.

You have a rev 10 phone I have a rev 9 so mine say .09

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JRJ442:
The 9 or 10 is the Hardware revision number. Not really anything to do with the radio file
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doalittledanse:
I was running CM9 with the leaked 4.0.4 radio and the upgrade worked fine for me.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drmacinyasha:
As mentioned above, the LTE radio image won't flash. radio-cdma works. Bootloader's unchanged from the 4.0.4 leak/maguro 4.0.4 (PRIMELA03); they're bit-for-bit identical.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
It works fine when flashing using the .zip in a custom recovery. I'm sure there's a good reason it doesn't work with fastboot, but I don't know what it is. I've went back to ek02 and my .zip got me back to FC05 with no problems. Everything seems to be working as intended.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] randpost:
LTE and CDMA radios flashed fine. I'm coming from the latest OTA radios.

I charge my phone in a cradle at the same spot on my desk every night and I always got a solid 117dbm/23asu on the latest official radios, and now im getting a solid 105dbm/35asu after updating the radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forsaken82:
So how do we get the lte radio?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nweaver11:
Do I need to go back to 4.0.2 first? Or can I just flash this? I am on AOKP M5. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckelly33:
Some people are reporting success flashing over 4.0.4 leaked radions, other report it is actually only working on the CDMA, not LTE.

I'm running the leaked 4.0.4 radios - would it work best if I flashed back to 4.0.2 then updated the Verizon version over AOKP 4.0.4....or would it be best to flash back to 4.0.2 stock on that too....?

^^^^Duplicate question
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I just tested it by reverting to an older lte radio and using my .zip to get to FC05. It works fine when flashed from recover as intended.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tacosrdelicioso:
What's the difference between a rev 10 nexus and a rev 9????
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
You can go from what you have to the official 4.0.4 radios with this .zip. It just has to be flashed in recovery. Taking the .img's out of the .zip and trying to use fastboot does not work for the LTE radio. That is what those 2 people were relaying and where any confusion has occurred.

Here you go link. You won't find anything definitive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vegasden:
Read up about a dozen posts.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CDuke619:
Updated new radios far the leaked ones through cwm and it has been working smooth.. Did it about 45minutes ago
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
i can also confirm that this flashes both radios just fine coming from the previously leaked 4.0.4 radios.

so far, sitting on my couch anyway, doesn't seem to be any difference in signal strength though...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forsaken82:
So your saying we do have the new lte.radio?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
If you flashed the .zip in post 1 with a custom recovery, then yes. You can check by going to Settings-About Phone-Baseband version and looking for I515.FC05. That is the LTE radio version and the one in the latest update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shafty023:
I have two GN phones sitting side by side and one is running the old leaked 4.0.4 radio and one has this new one flashed. I'm not noticing anything different and in a couple instances the older leaked radio is performing better. But it fluctuates so no telling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jbdan:
Since I'm already on the latest bootloader just pull it out with 7zip ok? Or no foul by flashing bootloader over same bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tacosrdelicioso:
Thanks for the link....wish there was some definitiveness ha. I have rev 10 tho
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EKnofsky:
With the newest radio switching between 3G / 4G shutting the 4G radio off is almost instant now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nweaver11:
Thank you!! Flashed from AOKP M5 with no issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
It won't matter either way. I'd just leave it as it is referenced in the updater-script (though it may not matter if the file is not there when flashing). I've flashed it a few times testing it and I was already on it from the previous 4.0.4 version as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jbdan:
Thanks much! And thanks for putting this together for the masses
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmbfan36_23:
FWIW, I too successfully flashed these over the leaked 4.0.4 radios via CWM...

Looking forward for a full IMM76K package that I can install over IMM30B now...

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckelly33:
So you flashed the full Verizon 4.0.4 leak over AOKP M5 4.0.4 in CWM/ROM Manager and it worked fine? Full wipe first? And what radios were you running beforehand?

THX
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
You don't need to wipe anything. It's just a radio and bootloader. You aren't replacing any files that come with AOKP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckelly33:
Yeah...I'm bouncing between a couple of forums and forgot I was in the one specifically addressing the radios....sorry - but thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ballbusta:
Thanks flashed fine . I'll see tomorrow at work if there is any improvement
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeyo1990:
Thank you for uploading however after flashing my build number still reads IMM76D. Should that change?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wool02:
No. Radios or bootloader do not affect the build number.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Digital_G0D:
I'm still on a 4.0.3 rom, can I flash the 4.0.4 radios without issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bengals1975:
My bootloader is unlocked, if I flash the new bootloader will it remain unlocked or would I have to re-unlock it?

Really don't want my phone completely wiped unlocking a bootloader again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JRJ442:
Yes u can. Just go back to the 4.0.2 radios to be safe first.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jm77:
Worked great. Thanks for posting this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
Yes.

It doesn't relock the bootloader.

That will just waste time IMO. There's no need. This isn't patching the radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crackers8199:
Initial testing results: went from solid 0-1 bars and -107 to -120 right after flashing to a solid 3-4 bars and -85 to -75 about 2 hrs later. Sitting in the exact same spot.

Is it possible the signal could vary that much over a few hour time period?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
I just don't think this is true (at least for every case). Are you sure you used the .zip from this thread? There have been others put together that only contain the patch, not the whole patched radio. In that case you need to come from 4.0.2.

I just verified that it works find coming from FA02 (IMM30B) to FC05 (IMM76K) after I read your post. I flashed the older FA02, rebooted, saw it said FA02/FA02 in about phone, reboot into recovery, flashed the .zip from post 1, rebooted, and it says FC04/FC05 in about phone. Have you tested it this way?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jbdan:
Wow switching 3G to 4G is almost instantaneous. I've never seen it do that fast on any of the other radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] laureanop:
My apologies. I downloaded the imnuts file by mistake and that's where my problem probably was. I'll modify my post accordingly as to not to mislead others.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shigenobu:
I can verify that this radio update worked from ready5's Hybrid 4.0.3 radio.

Thanks mwalt2 for the quick and easy update, I've been waiting for this for a while now!

Demoted from 4G to 3G in my 1st story study... :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mwalt2:
You can go back to FA02 by flashing the zip attached here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] clichename122:
Hmm...weird...

It was on 3G 0 bars for like 15 minutes, and right after I post the message, it goes up to 2 bars of 4G...

I'm still quite disappointed though, since 2 bars translates into ~-110 - -108 dbm, which is pretty much the same.

Then again, I haven't tested outside, so I might be judging too early.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CBX133:
Flash worked perfect. My work is a fringe area that fluctuates a lot 4g to 3g. We shall see tomorrow.

Thank you much for packaging this and making it so dang easy for us!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nawfboy09:
Just wanted to show where before I used to get slow speeds in my house, flashing the new OTA radios over the leaked radios while on Gummy 1.0.1, and instantly noticed a difference in speed (4G), almost double difference. Disregard the first and last speeds which were in a good reception area (the image with the multiple speed test). Didn't get to test the signal but visually notice more bars and assuming with the faster speeds I have better signal (correct me if I'm wrong)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Awesome bud! I flashed signal was the same. Went to throw my phone on the charger in the basement and when I came back 20 minutes later I had 4 bars! I usually got 2 in this same exact location Big thanks for the perfect working radio/bootloader! I hate flashing these lol...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
So far, I frankly don't see much difference between this and the IMM30B leaked 4.0.4 radios. However, both of those are FAR better than the older radios for this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mike216:
Give them another shot! They took time for me. I too thought the leaked were better but after flashing back they improved dramatically with time. My developer buddy talked me into giving them time and he was right on!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geeserver:
I went from -100dB (leaked) to -75dB(new)

Thanks for sharing.

Oops, meant to say "previously, LTE was unusable". It's working great after flashing the new radios.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sublimaze:
@mwalt2

Thanks a lot for packing this into a flashable zip. I always hated flashing radios via fastboot. Flashing the CDMA radio took a bit longer than expected and there is no progress bar. Don't panic when your phone looks like its frozen, it will eventually finish and let you reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dp92180:
They are working pretty well. The hand offs aren't as quick as I would expect but I'm certainly holding on to 4g longer and with improved signal!

Thanks for packaging this!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] impulse101:
Tried flashing this in cwm but it aborts when attempting to flash the bootloader. Have aokp m5
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rayfin:
Flashed these last night. No noticeable difference on 3G at home. On the way to work I watched the 3G to 4G switching, it was almost instantaneous.

Now to speed. I am getting half, yes half, the previous speeds. I just compared screenshots from when I flashed the old 4.0.4 leaked radios. I was getting 20-25mbps down, now I'm getting 8-12 down. Uploads have been cut in half as well going from 9-10 to to 5.

Not sure what to think about that. It's pretty sad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] swagner53:
Writing the CDMA radio takes a bit longer than writing the LTE or bootloader- I almost thought it stalled- be patient. Went from -120 dBm 99 asu at my desk to -100dbm 1 asu on 3g. The biggest difference-- I can now get a 4g signal at my desk which I NEVER could before!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] upther:
Worked great, thanks for this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forsaken82:
so with the new radios im getting 4g alot more places now, however my signal strenth is still weak. sitting at my office where i used to get full 4g on my bionic im at 2 bars of 4g and a signal of -112
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] smartguy05:
Thank you

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melp57:
Is this an upgrade even for the leaked 4.0.4 radio? The leaked I installed months ago seem to work just fine, just wondering why I would need to flash these, unless they are better than leaked.

thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubomime:
Looking good. Improved lte reception by one bar, hand off significantly better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
I haven't noticed any improvements yet between this new radio and the leaked 4.0.4 radios from IMM30B.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hogowner:
I aqm currently running 4.3...if I revert back to 4.2 radios......then install the new 4.4 radios...will it work on 4.3?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] strongergravity:
No change here, either. The VA/NC border...middle of nowhere...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seegs11:
I'm noticing much improvement with these radios, more bars and quicker toggle between 4g and3g .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgerbracht:
I believe you don't have to revert back to .02, just flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] toastedoats:
No improvement on signal strength coming from leaked radios, hoping that the 3g/4g handoffs are improved
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] melp57:
Flash worked good for me, although signal strength is less that at the same location, before the flash. I will give it time, as stated in the post, and see what happens. Thanks for putting this together for us!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lucas.scott:
Exactly what I needed. Had been suffering 6 or 7 complete signal drops a day. After flashing this I haven't had a single one. Great. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HuskerWebhead:
Worked like a champ for me. I haven't had any signal problems, so I haven't been paying attention to signal strength....so I can't say if it's made any improvements or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjforte:
These radios are definitely an improvement for me. Seeing a full 4 bars of 4G where I only used to see 3. My house is still a deadzone, but always has been, but I notice I pick up 4G just driving down the street now instead of having to drive about a mile away which is nice. Thanks a lot for this radio package.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dc5pat:
Worked for me. No problem flashing over Aokp M5. Gained 1 bar on lte at home.

So i am still having random signal drop outs where the data/voice drops out randomly
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mjforte:
Did you have random drops before flashing these radios as well? If so, it is most likely a hardware issue, and you need to exchange your phone for a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sc4fpse:
Pretty much my experience too. Speeds are definitely much slower. HSPA+ is going to beat these in a lot of areas, which, as you said, is pretty sad.

As for my overall experience, I would say it has been pretty positive.

3G Radio -- In my opinion, this was the biggest improvement of all (again, kinda sad). There is a stretch of road between my apartment and my university's campus that is smack dab in the middle of a bunch of towers, but out of LTE range for all of them. 3G is 1 bar at the most, often drops to 0 bars but maintains the connection. On the leaked radios, I had no data at all going through. Now I'm getting very slow data, but pretty reliable. I'm impressed here, to be honest.

Overall LTE signal strength -- This actually got worse for me. I'm seeing 4 bars a lot less. Perhaps that is more accurate, but it's just something I noticed. I forgot to check before I flashed the new radios, but it seems that the actual dBm level did not change, at least at my apartment (where I now have a consistent 3 bars, rather than 4), so maybe they changed some indicator values around...

Low LTE signal maintaining improved -- My office is in the middle of a multi-story office building. Only my Thunderbolt has had consistent success with LTE in there. On all the previous Nexus radios, I would constantly jump from 3G to LTE inside, which wrecked havoc on my battery life. Now I'm maintaining LTE in all but one room, which coincidentally was the only room that ever gave the Thunderbolt trouble. I'm willing to deem this new radio a success solely for the ability to maintain a constant LTE signal in my office now.

Speeds - As I mentioned above, speeds have been halved, easily. I'm averaging 5-8 Mbps now, which is pretty piss poor, given that I doubled or tripled that in certain areas just yesterday.

Overall, I think the radio was an improvement, but I'm disappointed in the speeds. I really, really wish they hadn't dropped so dramatically. Can't understand why that would even happen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Persianity:
I live in an area surrounded by mountains so 4g service in my house was rare at best, thing from 4.0.2 stock radios to these new ones... Holy **** I get 4g every where in my room now thank god! I can finally **** in peace without waiting for a video to load on 3g! Very happy I waited so long to upgrade I'm extremely satisfied. People are complaining about how the data speed dropped a little but be happy with the extension of 4g range it's phenomenal.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmericanJedi001:
@mwalt2: Thanks for the .zip! I installed over the leaked/hybrid FA02/FA02 radios, and of course everything works just fine.

Seat-of-the-pants feeling: handover between 3G and 4G is much quicker. I haven't noticed any dramatic differences in signal quality, and I have yet to run any speed tests.

Thanks again for the upload, I'm hoping time will prove these to be the most reliable radios!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
You're not connected to Google if it doesn't turn blue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] otis_bartleh:
Kind of bummed about reports of LTE speeds being cut in half, their LTE speed is the only reason I came to Verizon... Kind of hesitant to flash this because of that since the leaked radios are working fine for me... Would like to hear more reports from others too about their speed results before and after....

and @mwalt2: Thanks for the zip! Much easier to flash in CWM than in the bootloader...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 360Razir:
Just a quick note to say that the new radios are not quite up to snuff for me compared to the older 4.04 radios I had prior to flashing last night. In my office, I am barely pulling a 3G signal and yesterday I was on a solid 2 bars of 4G. I don't think "waiting for things to settle" will be the answer for me at this point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SirVilhelm:
Thank you, it worked for me coming from leaked 4.0.4. Haven't had a data drop all day! *knocks on wood*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] seegs11:
Noob question... for the signal reading in numbers say -79 , what's that mean? I assume the lower the number the better the signal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ckarrow2:
From wikipedia:

A mobile phone signal (or reception) is the strength (measured in dBm) of the connection to the mobile phone with its network.

The lower the number, the better :)

---------- Post added at 06:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------

Running Eclipse Rom..

Before: -83 (Three bars in my home... 3G only here)

After: -75 (Four Bars!)

Hope this helps out where I work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] taappel:
Same for me. I ended up going back to the 4.0.4 leaked radios. I get much better signal with them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrgoochio:
I've always had random drops of data/call connections throughout the day but I'm over due my 14 days from wirefly.. I'm really getting sick of it and this radio really hasn't helped my case either. Can I exchange my phone at a VZW store for a new one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] caifan:
You have to save *22899 as a contact and dial through that contact. I heard both good and bad from people doing that. If you have a 15xxx prl it will change it to a 5xxxx prl. Supposedly the 5xxxx prl is a 3G prl...but the jury is out on that.

I had to go back to leaked 4.04 radio new was very slow.I'm in 3g area only
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wadzii:
Flashed the new radios this morning. I haven't had a single 4g data drop since. I normally lost all connections about once an hour for around 5 minutes regardless of which radio I was on. Lte speeds are also faster than with any other radio.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bloodiedwraith:
Quite the opposite for me on speed. I was running the leaked 4.0.4 radios before and then tried these. My speeds went from average of 13-15 down and 9-10 up to 4-8 down and 7-8 up. I reverted back to the FA02 builds for now.

Since I don't get LTE at home and only at work I'm going to try flashing back to these new ones tomorrow at work and see if I get the same speeds as before or if it was just an issue with the network in the area but I'm not gonna hold my breath because it seems like I wasn't the only one with halved data speeds.
