can someone upload the radio for D821 because i still have problem to get my operator cellular company?

i use data roaming and only got one cellular company the other i cant find
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
You have only one radio for both models, so it's not the radio but something else that's bothering you
[Nexus 5 Android Development] smint555:
So what to do?

so what else can be the problem?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
The only thing that is coming to my mind is something with roaming or national roaming and restrictions you made there.

Edit: if only sms is not working, then check message center number or add it manually

Edit 2: Check apn.

2 of you reported issue so I confused which one is for what :D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] smint555:
Living in Israel and my cell company roaming with hot mobile and partner I can't get signal from partner. when get inside cellular networks can't find it? So what I can do maybe the radio flash that I made rune my phone. I just make flash from the Google official site.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
No, these are the radios for nexus 5. That can't be the problem. If you can't connect to partner's network, you should contact your operator since it's on the provider's side error, not user or phone.

Thanks,

[Nexus 5 Android Development] razorloves:
Think you're in wrong sub-forum. There's is no mtc19v for nexus 5. Maybe you're looking for nexus 5x modems? http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x
[Nexus 5 Android Development] grimreaper1014:
Thanks for your reply. I am using Pure and my WiFi is not connecting as fast as it did on stock. Therefore I was going to try to flash the latest modem to see if it resolves the problem. When I go into settings about it says MTC19V. Not sure what to do in this situation. I am using the Nexus 5.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] androcraze:
Usually the same modem "hangs around" for a couple of factory revisions; even though a ROM may update, the modem remains the same for two, three, or four ROM versions.

The issue you're running into is that "Pure" is using the source code, or at least some of the source code, from the most current AOSP source (MTC19V). The last factory release for the N5 was version MOB30M. I have experienced problems with an AOSP built ROM doing this in the past. A higher revision number doesn't always mean "better"; some builds are targeted for specific generations of Nexus devices. The Pure Team probably has a solid handle on things, but I'm going to stick with the current Google N5 release version code until the N5 quits getting updates.

BTW, when I update my ROM to the current N5 AOSP (when Google has a new release for the N5), I always flash the factory image first, then flash the AOSP ROM of my choice. After flashing the current MOB30M factory ROM, then Untouched AOSP (which doesn't touch the modem/radio), my radio baseband revision is M8974A-2.0.50.2.29. I'm seeing M8974A-2.0.50.2.28 as the highest listed here. Maybe there weren't any changes between the two, but the current posted on here should reflect the highest baseband revision for the N5.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] razorloves:
In settings - about, what does it say for modem?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] grimreaper1014:
I just flashed dirty unicorns and have the same problem with WiFi not connecting at correct speeds. On stock I was connecting at over 500mbps. I think it was 533mbps on 5Ghz band. The modem for dirty is m8974a 2.0.50.2.29.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] androcraze:
That's the "current" baseband revision.

When you went from stock, to Pure, to Dirty, your baseband didn't change; only flashing a factory image, or specifically flashing a new modem IMG file, will change the modem.

For a test, try this ROM: http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-untouchedaosp-aug-17-2015-t3182377

It's pure AOSP, and based-on the current ROM revision for the N5. I'm curious to see if your speeds change.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] drive2droad:
Can anyone confirm if the new system image has newer radio?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bartolinio:
no new radio
[Nexus 5 Android Development] androcraze:
M8974A-2.0.50.2.29, same as MOB30M.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] starche_old:
So you have flashable zip?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] androcraze:
I always just flash the factory ROM.

I can see about making a zip. I should just be able to pull it from the factory ROM, no? Although, I'm seeing that the factory radio image is smaller. I'm guessing it's it's compressed. I'll have to play a bit.

I'm surprised neither the 29 or 30 versions have been posted in #1. Odd.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] starche_old:
Unpack the zip and one of those should be modem.

Regarding. 29 and. 30 - I agree, that's weird.

hey guys.

i don't know if this is the right thread to ask about this but i've got a serious problem since the first day i bought my nexus 5 D820 by the way i'm from morocco.

it can't connect to 4G,and switching to it makes my phone goes to "emergency calls only'' mode.

i don't know if the problem has to do with bands ( i mean i should enable any band to get LTE working properly since the phone doesn't support it band 3 which is working here ) or the modem that's already flashed on my phone.i didn't flash any modem though.

now my phone can catch LTE wity full bar when i'm near A 4G tower.

sometimes my phone loses signal even when i'm using 3G which forces me to switch to 2G to get it back.

please help.

if anyone has any clue.

any suggestion is welcome.

Best regards.

You better check your serial number, IMEI information and baseband version.

if they were also unavailable , that means only one thing !

Nexus 5 only 2g

Hello, I have a problem. I bought a nexus 5 from china "new". It came with the box, all the accessories, and the cellophane.

The problem started when i tried to use the signal. I didn't get any.

So i changed the signal to 2g and it worked. I changed the chip, use it on another nexus 5 but the problem is the new nexus 5.

I already checked the imei and movistar did it too. So I start reading a post about this and i found that a lot of people are having the same problem.

I change a few modems but they are all the same. "only 2g".

Has someone a solution for this problem?

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] kendzhi:
I couldn't help but to make you a suggestion.

You see, I recently bought a refurbished N5 D820 from china and it would not connect to LTE B19 (here in Japan) although it supports it. Actually it connects but no data. B1 or B3 would have data. After opening the phone, I found out the shop in china had slapped many 2nd hand parts together, including the main board. (Battery was practically dead, back panel clips cracks and all. Just terrible).

Anyway, after many hours of investigation and playing around with bands, I found out it had many NV RAM "items files" missing, including those for B19. Maybe the previous owner played around with bands and stuffed up... or the dodgy factory in china didn't know what they were doing.

Anyway, I used QPST to restored the qcn file from the following post:

https://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-...modems-efs-t2514095/post56513713#post56513713

and now LTE B19 now working!

Don't know if your situation is the same, but there is a good chance that your N5 is not "new" but "refurbished" with similar issues like mine. You could try restored the qcn for your N5 model and see if it makes any difference :)

- Verify your APN settings again current recommended carrier values. Carriers do change settings sometimes.

- There could be an issue with your SIM card; perhaps you could swap it out with another.

I have the same problem my Nexus 5 will only detect 2g network and not 3g or LTE network and when I change it in *#*#4636#*#* settings there's a option that says USA bands yet my phone is a d821.when I took back off to check black and white cable there fine but I noticed on the screen panel it says d820 as what the screen is.so my question is is my phone a d820 with d821 ROM and that's the reason I can't pick up 3g or LTE or is my phone a d821 and it has been flashed a USA based ROM is says d821 in fasboot but the bootloader was all ready unlocked when I got my device. It sound confusing but please someone help I don't know what else to do
[Nexus 5 Android Development] androcraze:
No clue. I've never seen a differentiation between an 820 or an 821 ROM; both models use the same ROM and modem firmware.

Could be a hardware issue. These phones are getting old, and my gently-used and lovingly cared-for N5 finally started giving hardware errors after 3.5 years.

You could try and:

- reflash the latest modem (it's in Post#1 of my AlmostVanilla thread)

- try a new SIM from your carrier; carriers do update settings, and old SIMs can get left in the dust

These awesome phones are getting old. I'm quite happy with my Moto G5+.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] androcraze:
With the N5, it was a given that I'd perform nightly recharges; in mostly standby mode, I could potentially get a day-and-a-half. It wasn't that big of an issue, and I just charged it overnight while the phone sat on my nightstand.

My G5+ has been getting 4 days between charges. It's rather strange for me right now, and will take some getting used-to.

I have a similar problem. I own a D821 which is supposed to support band 20 LTE (800mhz) but I can't connect. I get 2G, 3G, H, H+ and LTE (other bands than band 20). I have the latest nightly LineageOS build with the latest radio (M8974A-2.0.50.2.30) installed but I can't connect to LTE in my city because it's only offered in band 20.

Network signal guru shows that band 20 is selected but I still can't connect lo LTE 800mhz

Nexus 5 field test mode shows that I have only bands 25, 26 and 41 supported. Is the radio in LineageOS meant for D820 only and not D821?

[Nexus 5 Android Development] androcraze:
There are two separate things in the original post:

1. flashing the modem

2. Backing-up EFS

Both are done via TWRP.

If you've installed the last ROM release from Google, you don't have to flash the modem.

For the EFS backup:

"In TWRP, flash the Nexus5_Flash2BackupEFS.zip linked below. Nexus5_Flash2BackupEFS.zip creates a flashable zip backup of your EFS in /sdcard/EFS_Backup/. Please check to make sure the backup zip worked and actually made a .zip file. If you can't find it under /sdcard/EFS_Backup/... try /data/media/0/EFS_Backup/ instead."

Read, read, and re-read. Performing the EFS backup is easier than it initially appears.

Modem issues after flashing Lineage

I just flashed my U.S. Nexus 5 with the latest Lineage OS yesterday. Everything seems to be working except the cell radio (ok that's a pretty important part of a phone). What I'm seeing is that the radio works for a couple of minutes after booting but then appears to go off. What I mean is the cell bars triangle goes dark and it says Emergency Calls Only. If it go into the network settings and change something like the Preferred network type it will sometimes come back up for a minute or so but it then goes off again. Maybe it's just my APN settings but it affects both data and voice. I'm using AT&T, nothing has changed in the hardware, SIM or carrier, I just flashed the new ROM. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You could always reflash the current radio:

No. I had this problem on nexus 5 820. flashing radio didn't fix it for sprint. Only using the efs restore option worked. I believe I restore to original firmware where modem worked. did a backup of efs and than restore efs on new rom install to fix data.

You should flash the radio first of course as it is a longer process to restore/backup/reflash/restore efs and maybe my issue only affected sprint.
