Factory image contains .84 radio?

I've just downloaded the mako 4.4 KRT160 factory image and it contains a radio image named radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84.img... am I being stupid or does this mean google have changed their mind and removed the .97 radio? Where else is the .97 radio from?
[Nexus 4 General] deedeeceleb:
They just forgot to rename it :D

Is there any other than this one? https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

here is the screenshot:

Edit: the name of the modem image in the downloaded stock rom is, however, 84: radio-mako-m9615a-cefwmazm-2.0.1700.84.img

I used the factory image and flashed everything in fastboot. Should it still be .84 in About Phone?

No, it should be .97

Did you flash the radio in the factory image files? It says .84 but its actually .97

Hi,

maybe I am completely wrong, but since I use .97, radio I've never seen any H+ sign. Only H. Anyone else recognising this?

Otherwise no problems with this radio.

H+ only appears on custom roms or modded. Stock rom only ever shows H.

[Nexus 4 General] Messerschmitt262:
Everytime I come on these forums I get loaded with information and have no idea where to start.

Would anyone point me in the right direction to install radio .33 and enable LTE on my Nexus 4?

My device is already unlocked. I have rooted and created a Full Backup w/ Custom Recovery via Nexus Root Toolkit v1.7.8 (that toolkit is just a life saver, not sure how I could've managed without it).

What is the next step? I understood that it's also recommended to install the Paranoid RC2 ROM together with the .33 radio?

Do I start with this?: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2358931

How do I flash this tho?

Thanks

As of now I don't have any custom rom. My phone is just rooted via the Nexus Root Toolkit
[Nexus 4 General] Sfkn2:
I was in your position until just last weekend where I wanted LTE so bad that I was ready to hack the hell out of my phone.

To start this, you'd want to download the hybrid radio on http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36400943&postcount=1

Since you're already unlocked, you can flash this with your custom recovery.

After that, I followed the directions at http://hippowise.com/how-to-permanently-enable-lte-on-android-4-2-2-nexus-4/

Hey guys.

Right now, my N4 is on 4.4 factory image. After 4.2.2, I have some problems with signals; When the device is on "emergency calls only" (no signal), I HAVE TO turn airplane mode on and off to gain signals again. I know that this is not some problems related to district, and as I said before, I have this issue after jumping to 4.3 and 4.4 (there's a little improvement in 4.4). So, is this possible for me to just flash 4.2.2 modem on my device (which is on 4.4 factory image)? Is there any possible risks? after it (and if things didn't work out) can I just go back to 4.4 modem?

I really appreciate your answer.
[Nexus 4 General] bombadier:
With the exception of the .97 radio (Which seems to be only for 4.4) any other radio can be flashed on any ROM, there is always a risk but in my experience it is minimal, I would recommend using fastboot as I have never had a problem flashing a radio by that method, although it sound like there is another problem with your device as the behaviour you describe is not normal, get the factory image and flash that to start the troubleshooting
[Nexus 4 General] ryanraven:

Thank you kindly,

I am using a Nexus 4 and need LTE. Atm I have the hybrid .84/.33, but the 4G reception is extremely bad (I have no reception in buildings, and weak signal outside).

Going to try the stand alone .33 and then .27 hoping those will give better reception
[Nexus 4 General] bombadier:
check in the general section as there is a thread for LTE discussion,If you look back a page I posted a link to that thread, there is a 33/97 hybrid,

[Nexus 4 General] Messerschmitt262:
Yea, I use the stock .27 radio from here: http://d-h.st/KFi

I already tried the .33/.84 hybrid but didnt notice any difference. I will try the 0.33 next from here: http://d-h.st/hlR. But is the .33/.84 hybrid actually the better option for the nexus 4 in terms of maybe enabling certain functions?

Now as it was mentioned I am just booting into recovery and just flash the radio. However in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2412052, morisslee mentions something about "enableNexus4LTE" and wiping the rom.

Anyone has any idea what radio i should flash on indian nexus 4.. Also what bootloader to use??
[Nexus 4 General] thehumble1:
Did you make the build.prop and apn config changes? I think some ROMs let it stick and some don't and there are a few people out there that say that you need to do a data wipe to get it to stick and others that say that if you touch the *#*#INFO#*#* settings it won't stick.

Also, make sure that LTE is the best coverage where you are at. Even if it's turned on, you may not always get it to show up because of signal strength. Also, since LTE doesn't let voice happen, you may be having a problem where your cellular radio thinks it needs voice communication and won't swap over to the LTE band.

So not sure.
[Nexus 4 General] Messerschmitt262:
Is there any way to confirm my radio flashing has been correctly updated and replaced the old radio? Let's say I flash the .84/.33 hybrid of my current .27 radio. How do I know it correctly flashed and it replaced the .27? Is there system info I can go and take a look?

Does it affect the behavior of my rom? I'm using Cataclysm
[Nexus 4 General] Rohit02:
You have to flash both if you are using catclysm KK rom..
[Nexus 4 General] Oops...:
That is not correct. You can still use the old bootloader and actually use any radio which is good for you. I personally never updated boot and use the 84 radio with latest KK CAT.

However you can't use latest radio with 4.3.
[Nexus 4 General] Rohit02:
Yes the last sentences is what i ment to say actually.. ;)

.97 radio is giving problems on 4.3 based ROM as it was made for KK ROMs with some binaries related to it.

Its good to be updated,yeah?:angel::o

[Nexus 4 General] veeholics:
So flashing bootloader and radio won't do any harm to my current rom state?

And by flashing new radio, there's a possibility that my signal strengh will go stronger?
[Nexus 4 General] arpitnathany:
Yes go ahead the latest radio definitely increased the signal strength for me
[Nexus 4 General] Oops...:
Just try it. You can always go back if the old one gives better results for you. No impact on ROM. No wipe, just flash.
[Nexus 4 General] skidaway:
I visit an area on the edge of my coverage area, and with the latest radio I notice a stronger signal that lasts longer before it drops coverage.

It's always worth updating and giving the new radios a try, imo. Very easy to flash to an older version if you experience any negative effects.
[Nexus 4 General] veeholics:
Already flashed :) didn't notice any difference yet, hope it will bring a benefit in the future :D

Thanks man.

[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
Using a terminal emulator or an ADB shell, type the following:

su
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem of=/sdcard/modem.img

That will create a file in /sdcard called modem.img. Just grad one of the zips from the first post, and replace the image in it with the one from your device and post it here. :)
[Nexus 4 General] el_charlie:
There you go:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By_sa5B_SgoEX2xndmI0QlQ5dFE/edit?usp=sharing

I only find odd that the modem.img is 64 MB and the other radio files are smaller (about 49 MB). Is that ok??

Cheers!

EDIT: I haven't tested if because I'm already on .98. I just copied the command you posted in terminal and took the modem.img from my /sdcard directory to the .zip. I'm not responsible if it fries an user's radio. (I thought I should clarify that xD)
[Nexus 4 General] Raum1807:
If you are already on the .97 modem, you can patch your .97 radio to v.98 by flashing the mako-update in parts only. Download the update from Google. Open it with your unpacker of choice. Change the updater-script in META-INF/com/google/android/ to

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "/system");
ui_print("Verifying current system...");
ui_print("Patching radio...");
apply_patch("EMMC:/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem:46630400:a41d28b66d15bc0e0c84b76bf79b41eabd6dacc4:46630400:2c63f9a377c9869e0f4b3baf655addd6723c2880",

a41d28b66d15bc0e0c84b76bf79b41eabd6dacc4, package_extract_file("radio.img.p"));
unmount("/system");

Save the file and reintegrate it in the zip. Copy it to your Nexus 4 and flash it via CWM or TWRP. Reboot and enjoy!

[Nexus 4 General] efrant:
Yeah, that's normal. When you dump a partition from your device using "dd" it dumps the ENTIRE partition, regardless if half of it is blank and not used. "dd" pads the blank bytes with zeros, so it would appear to be larger than a modem.img from a factory image, but they are identical.
[Nexus 4 General] el_charlie:
Well, thanks!

So, in theory it would flash just fine then. I wrote the disclaimer in case something went wrong.

[Nexus 4 General] Nathan-NL:
Okay, I hope you all like .98. But I myself now go back to .48 again, because I have some serious wakelock issues (Android-OS) when utilizing .97/.98.

Edit: I'm adding two more mirrors in case anyone can't download from Dev-Host:

Mirror 1 (MediaFire)

Mirror 2 (MEGA)

Edit2: The easiest way of installing is putting the file on your Nexus' internal storage and then booting to your custom recovery. From there install the zip.

Alternatively you can use sideloading (that way you send the file directly from your PC to the device to install).

This is the command you will need (make sure the radio file is in the same directory as adb/cmd): adb sideload radio *filename*

You can change the file name (make sure you don't get spaces in it or you will get an error) or copy-paste it to make the process somewhat easier.
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
Thanks for the links. Can you confirm whether you are getting the wake locks when wifi is on? (That is screen off, wifi on, huge wake lock? )
[Nexus 4 General] Nathan-NL:
Yes. I certainly got a wakelock of multiple hours that way. After .97/4.4 downgrading to .48 seemed to have (mostly) resolved this issue, but I am still observing the battery usage this way. Shouldn't be much different from 4.4.

Currently: 2 hours, 4 minutes on. Android-OS wakelock: 1 minute, 58 seconds. I think it won't be a problem. With .97 I had wakelocks of over 5 hours.

Edit: .84 might work better depending on country/region/provider/etc. And they both do not support LTE of course.

Hello!

Does anybody know if there is a radio that consumes less battery on 3G?
[Nexus 4 General] musashihatred:
iMO. The better the radio is in your country, less battery usage. Because when having low signals, radio tends to cause more wake because of searching or trying to acquire signal changes. So it would be better to 1. Search for bands of your carrier then search for a radio that is designed for that band. :)
