[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scoobaspeaz:
is this boot loader directly pulled from this VZW JB leak or is this one pulled from another carriers GNEX update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enik_fox:
What exactly is the advantage to flashing the new boot loader? Also loving the new radios. 0% time without a signal!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scoobaspeaz:
I asked that earlier and the reply i got was basically some report JB boots faster...however no ICS roms will work after you go to the JB bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k_nivesout:
Pretty sure this is pulled from the VZW leak, but it doesn't really matter because the bootloader is the same across all tuna devices. It's the same one we've had available since JB first came out.

I've also read that you can use ICS ROMs just fine with the JB bootloader, but I've never tried it myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scoobaspeaz:
The boot loader before this JB update (which is the stock ICS boot loader)can be found here in this factory image: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mysid

If you want to flash back to the stock ICS boot loader you have to do the following:

1. download the factory image above

2.untar the file, grab bootloader-toro-primela03.img and save it somewhere

3. Reboot into the boot loader menu

4. From the directory you saved the boot loader file you just extracted type: fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-toro-primela03.img

Just to add to the boot loader discussion...i just flashed the JB bootloader. It seems like it booted up a tad faster. Could be SNS syndrome though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gfropr:
First time I've been able to use my phone HEAVILY with little to no heating. New radios are legit son!

The top of my phone used to get very very hot in my pocket. not anymore!

Oh yeah and for the first time ever Slacker Radio went completely uninterrupted on my way to work!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 24601:
Flashed this yesterday and the bootloader updated fine. Looks like the old one, just a newer version. As long as the md5 matches, you should be OK. YMMV.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AGeleff:
To clarify, I should be flashing both the CDMA & LTE radios together, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
You don't necessarily have to but I would suggest it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AGeleff:
Thank you. :good:

Flashed the entire package just fine. Too early to tell if there are any speed or performance improvements, but I'm getting a more stable connection that isn't fluctuating as much in my house. I never had really great 4G connectivity in my house to begin with, so those speeds are currently about the same. We'll see where it goes from here after a day or so.

I'm more interested in seeing if this helps my friend's brother's Nexus - he's been dropping 4G connectivity like wild and a lot of you are saying this fixes that. We'll see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bagarwa:
Is anyone else noticing quicker battery drain after flashing these radios? Ever since I flashed this yesterday, my GNex is leaking juice like crazy. Example, 30 minutes on 4G, using Flipboard and battery drops from 65% to 45%. Charging is also relatively slower than before. Anyone else having this problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gfropr:
Battery life is same for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AGeleff:
No issues with battery life here thus far. I'll be out of the house tomorrow for the majority of the day, so we'll see what happens.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Eric_Eric_Eric:
I flashed the bootloader+radios package. Working great. I think the boot time is a little bit faster; I've never had issues with dropping data, so I hope that doesn't come up. By the way, you guys aren't using Juice Defender, are you? I stopped using it a long time ago because it had huge problems making data come back on after being on WiFi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidrage2010:
I too am having this issue.. liking the new radios, but just about to flash the old ones back and test again. Took my phone off the charger this morning about 1.5 hours ago and already down to 82%. That's almost 15% an hour, and not even using it.. so only 6 hours of standby is nuts!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BurningHell:
My two cents: Had perfectly working phone, had to warranty because it started saying it was charging when unplugged. Got the new phone, nandroid back to toro jb "skank" , flash jb bootloader (hadn't done it yet) now the real problem starts, drop signal at random, have to reboot/airplane mode. Warranty again, same thing, flash these I'm right as rain.

tl;dr These radios are awesome
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thesuzukimethod:
Those with battery problems, have you rebooted since installing the radios? (an additional reboot, not the initial one post flash). I had some odd processes taking up juice after flashing, but upon reboot, everything seems to have settled in...have no idea if the reboot helped, or if placebo is a powerful force, and I just needed to be patient.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidmarc:
Question: if i am running JB AOKP with touch recovery, do/should i update the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jerrycycle:
I can only speak from personal use. I have updated all the radios that have came out (official & leaked) I just now updated the bootloader from the original one back in December. I say it can be good to update but also shouldn't be any harm if you don't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidrage2010:
Yes I have a few times, but I'm giving it a few days to see how it does before passing judgement.

But in the two days so far, it's been pretty bad. If it continues then this weekend I'll flash the previous radios and continue testing. Possible issue with my hardware revision?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wil318466:
Stupid question.. but can I simply nandroid backup and then try this? Or is the radio separate? If so, how can I revert back to old radio?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jerrycycle:
Radio is separate. You can always flash back the radio's of your choose.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bw10666:
Anyone else roaming all the time on these radios? *228 didnt work.. isn't there a different number to dial now?

edit* never mind it was the carrier name change thing i did.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amessina:
The new radios are awesome!! There used to be some spots in my home that I would get a very weak 3g signal, now I get a weak 4G signal. Doesn't sound like much, but the weak 1 bar 4G signal is faster (speed test app) than a weak 3g signal. IMO, The only real way of testing these radios is indoors where you would normally get a 3g signal but 4G is around.

I've also seen the switching between 3g and 4G to be smoother as well.

BTW.. I've always kept current with my ROM and radios, and this is a noticeable improvement.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wyattyoss:
Flash via recovery or fastboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Travisdroidx2:
Recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amessina:
Recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eyekyu:
i feel like i got better radio signal with the previous 4.0.4 radios. i get crap 3g and no 4g with the new radios/bootloader.

so this leads me to my next question, can i flash the old 4.0.4 radio/bootloader w/o messing up my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amessina:
Which radios are you referring to? Do you know the baseband number? If you are using jelly bean then just flash your original rom again. If so, I I don't think you can, or should try 4.0.4 radios with a 4.1 os,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Travisdroidx2:
We have been running 4.04 radios with 4.1 os until just lately. If you feel the 4.04 radios worked better for you in your area you can always flash them back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eyekyu:
from the FC05, i mean my house gets crap for reception anyways. but just more so out of curiosity if i could flash back w/o any problems. but i was on CM10 nightlys with 4.0.4 radios. no issues
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcowboys2184:
Radios don't play well with network extender lot of data drops and inconsistent connection!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chukis13:
Just want to say thank you for this. I just got my gnex 2 days ago and my 4g and service would drop constantly so I had to keep it in CDMA only and suffer with 3g. Then I flashed this and now my service and 4g are steady as a rock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsswga:
New radio
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Homan13PSU:
Don't run a *228 on a LTE device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s00paSold3r:
Can you flash the bootloader and radio's at the same time? I downloaded the pkg that says JRO03O_radios_bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amessina:
Never knew that. I guess ics and jb share the same code (within reason) for they are backwards compatible?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigbear6708:
Anyone notice any pickup in mms ability with the new radios...i don't send a lot of mms, but when i get one it usually comes from work in the form of a mass message and i need to get it..i hate having to use a 3 party app for something that should just work on my device as is
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mark manning:
Yes but there is no reason to flash the bootlader. They are the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsswga:
I have a network extender at the house and with that new radio I can't get 3g or 4g when the extender is within distance. The is a R where the 3g signal usually is. I have tried everything. Only thing to do is turn it off then I have crappy phone reception. So I'm going back to the original one. Anybody had same problems?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scoobaspeaz:
I too have a network extender and have the "R" when using 3g connection feature of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsswga:
Can u get 3g?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scoobaspeaz:
Nope but if i flash back to the official radios i can get a 3g connection. On the new radios its "R" while on the extender but 3g out in the world.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rsswga:
Yea. I did to. But the new radio is good. Not sure if its any better here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jst07:
EDIT: Answered my own question...

Thanks for posting this, everything flashed good! Now to try out LTE and see how well it works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marine6680:
"This zip includes a properly patched LTE radio"

What is this patch they are referring to?

I used to stay up with Android pretty well, but the past few months, its really sipped to a minor hobby, I might go a week or two without checking the forums, so I am a bit lost on this radio "patch" thing.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amessina:
How can you tell what bootloader you're using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blay76:
Fastboot screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tattedupboy:
This works awesome for me. At home my phone switches between 3G and 4G, but since flashing this, it's been more consistently 4G. I love this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Txwolf1980:
Ok. Flashed radios only about two hours ago on my replacement (2nd, for those curious). My initial phone never had any issues as far as boot times, or signal. This one, the boot times are fine, but my radio issues read like a verbatim copy of post #9. As soon as I tried to do ANYTHING on 4g, I went into no service in the middle of Houston tx. Flash, and no issues since. Haven't bothered with the bootloader, because most of what I've read is saying that it doesn't really do anything, especially since my boot times are <1 minute.

Swyped from the land of unicorn porn
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gaming09:
I flashed these im not crazy about them, i did hte ones with the bootloader, the last ones i used were 4.04 radios/bootloader and i have the original bootloader/radio files, can i go right back to those or do i have to do something different to flash an older bootloader/radios?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jerrycycle:
Yes you can. I did. I felt the newest radio drain battery more so I went back. I now have actually packaged my own combo. 4.0.2 CDMA with latest LTE. I did update the bootloader, but this the first time. I was on the original bootloader from 4.0.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidrage2010:
Jerry, did you flash a hybrid update zip or did you manually flash each radio via fastboot?

Has anyone seen a custom flashable zip for the older CDMA radio with the newer LTE radio? Thanks in advance all.

droidrage
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jerrycycle:
No. I unzipped and added the radio combo of my choose
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmajpwc:
I noticed I have more battery drain with the new radios too. With the new LTE radio and the old CDMA radio, do you notice better battery life? I thought it was because of the CM10 nightlies but it appears that it could also be the radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
I tried to reflash these radios and I get an installation aborted now.

Errors in the files, and it happened when I tried to install the ICS radios too.

What happened?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
Double post, sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyDeez:
Would it be safe to only update to the new radio and still use ICS roms?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphenucleus:
Yes, just don't flash the JB bootloader if you're using ICS ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jerrycycle:
Why can't he have the jb bootloader. I still run ics and have the jb bootloader. I have a hybrid radio combo too, cdma from 4.0.2 and latest LTE
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphenucleus:
I've seen posts saying the latest bootloader wouldn't work with ICS ROMs; I haven't actually tested it myself, so I can't verify those claims, but I made that recommendation because it's better to be safe than sorry, especially considering updating the bootloader doesn't really add or improve anything.

I've been thinking about running a hybrid combo too since the new LTE is great (I haven't had a single data drop since updating), but the CDMA has comparatively bad battery drain. The battery drain is worse when I'm on 3g than it is on LTE, so I plan on flashing the 4.0.4 CDMA radio, since I remember it being fine on that one. Why did you choose the 4.0.2 one? Just personal experience?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jerrycycle:
I been running the jb bootloader since the GSM Nexus had jb, bootloader is the same. You are right about the no real need to upgrade bootloader. I just did it because I was running one of the earlier builds of jb. Then the use was needed for me to get the quicker boots . I flashed my preferred ics but never reverted the bootloader from the jb bootloader.

Radios, yes personnel preference. The hand off from 3g to 4g is instant for me. When I do need to ever fall back to 3g.The other combos take 3 to 10 seconds. The signal seems stronger so less battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tacosrdelicioso:
Doesn't matter if u flash jb bootloader everything will work just the same
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] droidrage2010:
Just an update for those interested... After flashing the newest radios from the Verizon JB leak, I had outstanding working radios but terrible battery drain. I understand that not everyone was affected by this.. but I was.

I flashed a couple different previous versions and as suggested previously, I've returned to great battery life by flashing the older 4.0.2 cdma radio and the 4.1.1 leaked LTE radio in fastboot.

Hope it helps somebody else. I'll be watching battery drain and connectivity for consistency.

droidrage
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nowetdio:
Mind sharing a link to the individual radios? I've looked everywhere but only find combos
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] muscal:
Thanks for this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphenucleus:
Here's a link to all the old radios. To make a hybrid radio, simply drag and drop the desired radio files into a flashable zip (radio.img is the LTE radio, radio-cdma.img is the CDMA radio). For example, to make a 4.0.2 CDMA/4.1.1 LTE radio zip, simply download both the 4.0.2 and 4.1.1 radio packages, make a copy of the 4.1.1 package, delete the radio-cdma.img in it, drag and drop the radio-cdma.img from the 4.0.2 package, and flash it. Then check under Settings>About phone>Baseband version to make sure they flashed correctly (EK05/FG02 would be what you're looking for in this example).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cmajpwc:
For the life of me I couldn't get it to work in a flashable package, so what I did was I extracted the 4.0.2 cdma radio from the zip, and then flashed it in the toolkit. We'll see how it goes, because the battery life was just getting atrocious. Haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphenucleus:
Hmm...I'm not sure, but the issue might have to do with signing the zip after altering it. It worked fine for me using the latest clockworkmod, but other recoveries might require the zip to be resigned. I'll attach the 4.1.1 LTE/4.0.2 CDMA hybrid package I used without issue, if that helps, but using the toolkit is a good idea if flashing it doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pscpa:
Did the update work?

Just flashed the JRO03O_radios_bootloader.zip file in recovery on my GNex running aokp_toro_jb-build-1. My baseband version AFTER the flash is I515.09 V.FF02/I515.FG02. Are the new radios installed?

@ralphnucleus.. thanks for posting that. The battery life is horrible on the new CDMAs. Id rather have better battery life when the signal is roughly just as good on the 4.0.2 CDMAs anyway
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
Thanks for this!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jprakes:
Just flashed these, installed fine. I'll get back with battery life. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carfreak715:
can i flash this over a custom ROM like Eclipse without messing anything up? also, if i flash this new "bootloader" will this relock it or do anything funky? how about the radios? any issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jerrycycle:
You should be able to flash on custom rom, I do. Flash bootloader will not relock bootloader but if you have custom splash screen that will have to be installed after the bootloader flash. Radio can be flash at any combo of your choosing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carfreak715:
thanks. im very new to flashing bootloaders and radios. if you don't mind me asking, what exactly is a splashscreen?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justen7723:
Splash screen is the Google logo that shows up when u turn your phone on before the boot animation
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carfreak715:
oh, well in that case, i believe mine is the stock splash screen with the Google logo and the unlocked padlock. thanks much!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] t1.8matt:
Don't know if this was already posted, but can someone provide the ICS bootloader in a flashable zip file?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Surgio:
So.. since VZ released JB .... has anything changed.... or are the radio's the same?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jerrycycle:
If they where any different the radios surely would've been posted by now. So no, they are the same
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
The radios from the leak are the same radios in the official update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bigknowz:
Same Bootloader?

Peter Alfonso has this botloader for Toro: PRIMELC03. Is is the same one that is in your zip?

[Android Apps and Games] Abomb:
Hi,

everytime I want to flash a new version of a rom I have to modify the zip file contents, i.e. delete some files etc, which is a very tedious process.

Thats why I created a little tool for Windows (requires .NET 3.5) that can do the following with a zip file of a rom:

- Delete files

- Add / Replace files

- extract .apk's, decompile them, modify (regex replace) inside text / xml files within, recompile them and put the updated version back into the rom zip.

The tool is still beta, so there could be many errors if you don't use it correctly... always make a copy of the rom zip before using this tool on it :)

The included apktool (for decompile/recompile of apk) requires JRE 1.6 and only works for Android Jellybean roms / framework-res.apk's - but I think you could just use another apktool version for different Android versions.

Included in the package is a sample configuration that is basically exactly what I am using. Of course you can change what files to add, delete and modify. Also there is a screenshot attached so you can see what it looks like - as you can see you need to have some basic knowledge of how android rom stuff works, I don't think this is useful to total noobs, sorry.

If you have any problems / suggestions feel free to write here.

I hope this is useful to someone :)

Regards

Abomb

Changelog:

1.0: Inital release

1.1: Some error checking, not all errors will be caught but at least some basic ones.

1.2: Files to delete and apk's to modify can now be selected from the zip file via file browser

1.3: Log during modify operation and bugfixes

1.4: More bugfixes, plus the settings are now stored in the image of a cat :)
[Android Apps and Games] wlado93:
Thanks :) I'll try it.
[Android Apps and Games] eliashadow:
Nice tool mister.

There is any way to add zip paths auto (for example /system/etc/ etc) against to write all the line manual?

I'm using win7 and winrar.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Abomb:
I'm not sure what part of the tool you mean, add files, delete files or apk modify? And do you want to add a whole directory to add/remove?
[Android Apps and Games] eliashadow:
To remove files i have to write manual the line.I don't know of there is a way to add it without write the path with keyboard.

I hope to understand what i mean...:p
[Android Apps and Games] Abomb:
Ah now I see what you mean.

I'll try to implement a way to "open" the rom zip file inside the tool to select files from it without having to type in the paths manually.

Edit: 1.2 now has that feature implemented, please try it and tell me if that works for you.
[Android Apps and Games] Abomb:
Version 1.3 shows a log during the modify operation and has various bugfixes.
