KTU84Q. ....17 from 4.4.4r2

Work fine for now
[Nexus 5 Android Development] carlese:
Hi everyone.. I live in Italy, can I flash this new radio or it will screw up everything?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GtrCraft:
Yes, you can flash it without problems
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ben36:
Are we thinking that this latest radio is newer than the L release one?

What's the number for it?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bartolinio:
according to the numbering goes that it does not ;)

latest radio is M8974A-2.0.50.1.17

radio from L: M8974A-2.0.50.2.08

but... who knows :P
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GtrCraft:
The KTU84Q radio gives me signal on places where I didn't had any previously

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Candy[MAN]:
Do I need the bootloader unlocked to flash this new radio?

Mine is currently locked and would like to try this new radio out but do not want to format my phone.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] retired_mnbooze:
Info states Netherlands... :eek:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] aavvaallooss:
Then maybe the new baseband can help people outside selected countries. Good news!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Lewythefly:
Going to flash this now, ever since updating to 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 I've had data drop out problems. *crosses fingers*
[Nexus 5 Android Development] maidenboston:
flashed M8974A-2.0.50.1.17 from using 4.4.4 radio.

No issues so far...seems the same..

I never had the issues stated from other users with radios.. all of them been solid for me in the NYC/NJ area with tmobile.

maybe i've seen some improvements from using the latest each time..

I havent try tried radio from L though,,..
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Candy[MAN]:
Can this be flashed on a 100% stock (non-rooted) unit with a locked bootloader?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jwhyte:
Not without unlocking boot loader to use fast boot. Or rooting and using flashify. I would always recommend fast boot over flashify.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] hooliganx:
wait your device update.

if you don't wanna change anything [emoji16]

maybe with adb you can... but... never had a locked device... [emoji6]

[Nexus 5 Android Development] whitedragonz83:
No.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rockknee:
Best radio so far has been 1.0.25.0.17 Others have weird signal drop issues, sometimes it even feels like it has nothing to do with hw. Sometimes it may drop even if I don't even move the device ?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GtrCraft:
Try the KTU84Q one, its even better
[Nexus 5 Android Development] rockknee:
Flashed now, let's see how it works here in Finland.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Sparx75:
Can you upload a flashable zip of the new KTU84Q modem? Thanks.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] justibasa:
Look back a page or 2.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] TheLastSidekick:
Warning to flashing KTU84Q on T-Mobile...my signal became SIGNIFICANTLY degraded here in the USA, East coast. 4 bars of LTE to 1, and plenty disconnects.

Edit : I'm confused leaving the above just as a warning though. When I came back 20 minutes later my reception had gotten MUCH better.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] mj084:
Omg
[Nexus 5 Android Development] wolsty7:
Any chance of a zip for the 4.4.4r2 update?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bartolinio:
c'mon

[Nexus 5 Android Development] BlueZinc:
Just a FYI

I just did the CM11 manual update to 11-20140716-Nightly-hammerhead and noticed it stated 'writing new modem' during upgrade process.

Once booted it shows the new modem installed is baseband version M8974A-2.0.50.1.16

Alas, the new modem has not fixed my data drop out problems I have experienced ever since updating from 4.4.2
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vin4yak:
Why don't you switch back to the previous modem which worked best for you? :eek:

You could also give the android L radio a go as well!

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Telomir:
Positive reviews so far on the 4.4.4 r2 radio. Been testing it for a few hours, no data drops, on average 1-2 higher LTE signals in places I'm normally in. Looks to be a keeper for a while - T-Mobile, Memphis, TN
[Nexus 5 Android Development] doubleohseven:
Curious, are you on T-Mobile by any chance? I've had this problem on my phone since April when I bought it.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] maidenboston:
i had these drop outs too at one point.

i think i traced the cause and resolved it (since i dont get them anymore)

in the APN protocol, i currently have default,supl,mms

when i had the dropouts, i added i think one or two in that list. i forget which though :(

a few days later, after alot of trial n error to rule out kernel, nightlies rom, apps i remembered that i made chagnes in the APN.

removed whatever i did, and since then, no more drop outs.....

hope that helps someone out there...

and as stated before, i had no issues with the different radios. i've tried all since .15. i'm on 4.4.4_2 radio now.

i'm on tmobile.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] walpurgisnacht30:
Never have any issue with KTU84P radio here, but KT84Q works better on Three Indonesia
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Lewythefly:
No, optus network in Aus

I've tried that with no joy so it appears to be something that had changed in the software post 4.4.2

I don't really wanna go back to my 4.4.2 nandroid, everything should work on 4.4.4

I might have to do a full wipe and flash the stock image..... PITA
[Nexus 5 Android Development] peecs121:
Anyone tested on Sprint in South Carolina area?

Nexus 5 running LiquidSmooth
[Nexus 5 Android Development] maidenboston:
you can just flash the 4.4.2 modem. you dont have to be running a 4.4.2 rom
[Nexus 5 Android Development] h20ray:
im using halo. and its still suck.

btw, is it right if i just flash this modem via twrp?

sorry for my bad english, maklum wong jowo

Guys please search a couple of pages. If you don't find your answer then use the "search" function before asking the same questions again and again. If you observe, XDA also has a great function where the top thanked recent posts show up on the right side. So basically y'all have 3 easy ways of getting your answer and instead y'all post it here and wait for someone else to provide y'all the links ^_^ That's damn lazy I must say. Doing these steps first will also ensure you will get your answers quickly. :)

Wait, are you saying you added something to the default APN to make it work, or you added something, then removed it once it started messing up? I'm using the default APN and I have what you listed there... I tried changing to IPv4 and turning off fast dormancy, see if that works.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] maidenboston:
added ~2 protocols in APN,

drop outs occurred,

removed what i added,

no more drop outs

also, during that time, not sure if it was related. i use euroskank nighties (cm11). so maybe at that time, something was going wrong for my HW and the nightlies for that week or 2?

i'll post what my APN looks like a little later if you request it
[Nexus 5 Android Development] doubleohseven:
I've been doing a ton of reading to try to find the problem, but what the hell, i'll take a look at your APN. Like I said, I haven't altered my APN besides changing to IPv4, which hasn't solved the problem. Tried numerous radio's, using stock. Pretty much given up and thinking its hardware related, probably gonna RMA soon.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Holer Togni:
I was using 2.0.50.1.17 (KTU84Q) for a few days and didn't notice any difference as with many other modem versions before. Now yesterday I was at some place in the outskirts of town and noticed that my data connection had dropped to GPRS. Remembering that previously I was able to use HSDPA+ there I flashed 2.0.50.2.08 (LPV79) again and voilà H+ was back. I went back and forth once more with a proper delay after booting up and the whole thing was reproducible.

Happened on Purity 4.4.4 KTU84P 01/07
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GtrCraft:
I have much more stable and better connection with 2.0.50.1.17. I guess it depends on carrier
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Maramu:
KTU84Q has been worse than the L preview modem. Worse signal and data drops. It really does depend on the carrier. Mine is 3G-only, using the 900 and 2100 bands.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GtrCraft:
Mine uses 900 and 1800, it works really good for LTE and 3G. The L preview gave me the same as the 4.4.1 modem

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Do we have a bootloader dump somewhere like this? I find this thread helpful, but wish there was something just as convenient for bootloaders.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] doubleohseven:
Yeah I have the same settings you have, minus the MMS ones (my MMS works fine using the default) so i'm pretty much thinking its hardware at this point.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vin4yak:
There are only 2 bootloaders for the Nexus 5. HHZ10x and HHZ11k, the later being the latest. I don't know why you would want to go back to the older one :eek:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
I didn't even know there were only 2. The info is sparse and its not spelled out clearly like the radios.

but looks like there's some more info here: http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/firmware/nexus-5/hammerhead/

Looks to be more than 2? But I'm glad I'm on the newest one.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] vin4yak:
I stand corrected. There are indeed 4. :good: That being said, unlike radios, flashing back the older bootloaders won't do any good. In fact many roms aren't even compatible with the older ones. So, a bootloader dump thread wouldn't serve any purpose IMO :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Right. But there's still a point in checking if I'm on the latest. I check this thread to see if I'm overdue for a radio upgrade for example.

There's something similar to this thread with bootloaders also for the Nexus 4, and I was able to refurbish my N4 last month to give to my parents by making sure it was all up to date.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Kanzar:
I kept getting the update notification, so I flashed this update via fastboot... it didn't update my build number. Is that supposed to happen, since it only flashed the radio partition?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GtrCraft:
Of course, the radio has nothing to do with a build number
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Kanzar:
Coolio. Well my phone stopped complaining about there being an update to flash, so I guess it all worked out in the end. :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] maidenboston:
oh yea!

the other thing i did to fix my drop out signal issue...

i took out the sim card, brushed it off, cleaned it..

and blew some canned air into the slot... i didnt go too crazy when the compressed air..(afraid it would damage something with it's force and sometimes freezing air)

so, i restored my APN and messed with the sim card/slot
[Nexus 5 Android Development] doubleohseven:
I did that as well, per Google supports advice. I've pretty much given up, just gotta find the time to return this to stock and go through the RMA process now.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Taimur Akmal:
I am having this issue since day one. I bought the Nexus primarily for testing out the developer preview. I flashed to it, everything worked fine. But as soon as I entered my sim and restarted, phone turns it's radio off and displays "Please turn off Airplane mode to place a call" when dialing a number and displays no service.

Also through the code "*#*#4636#*#*", I noticed I couldn't turn on the radio through the "Turn On Radio" button. Whenever I press it, nothing happens.

If someone can help with this, then that be great! :D

[Nexus 5 Android Development] aeoveu:
Try reflashing the radio.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Taimur Akmal:
I have tried several several several different things. Which include, downgrading to 4.4.2, flashing different radios on it. Then installing 4.4.4 and tried installing radios on it. Even tried several kernels in order to fix this annoying issue. No help! :'(

The problem has narrowed down to some extent, the Airplane mode is always on. I can't disable it. I tried different versions, as mentioned before, but nothing. Also, once I had a working scenario, the radio went off again after some time.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ChazzMatt:
There are various apps and time settings which can invoke airplane mode.

Someone complained about vibration being missing and turned out they had turned it off in Quiet Hours.

If you do a clean install (stock radio) with no gapps, when you boot it's automatically in airplane mode? Something you are installing or tweaking is disabling the radio?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Taimur Akmal:
That's the annoying thing. I have nothing on my phone. ZERO!. It has been wiped 20 times today just due to me experimenting with it. I don't even have WiFi connected to it.

One more thing, whilst I am on Android L, whenever I flash an old radio, the baseband goes to unknown. What am I doing wrong? Sorry for my noob questions, I am new to the Nexus culture.

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

What do you mean no gapps? For example, I flash the stock factory 4.4.4 image, it contains all the stock apps. It is on airplane mode. Now I try a new radio, from a previous version, it remains that way. Between both flashes, phone has been untouched with any setting.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ChazzMatt:
OK, so you are actually using factory image 4.4.4 instead of custom ROM 4.4.4. Custom ROMs, no matter how stock, usually do not include GAPPs.

I flash everything at once in recovery -- ROM, GAPPS, custom kernel, sound package, volume tweaks, SUPERSU, then reboot.

But if there's an issue, best to take one step at a time.

I was just trying to suggest minimal installation to try to determine what error or conflict was disabling the radio...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Taimur Akmal:
That's a good approach and also the one I haven't tried yet. Let's see what happens. Going to try it now!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ChazzMatt:
Also, try flashing SuperSU as the last step in recovery. It fixes a lot of permission issues. You can find it in Google Play store or Google search for XDA SuperSU. There's a thread by the developer with free download link.

There are other superuser apps, but SuperSU is the best.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jcsww:
If you have exhausted all other options, I would flash a complete stock image to see if that resolves your issue. Either 4.4.4 or Android L stock images from Google will almost completely factory reset your device all but locking the bootloader.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Taimur Akmal:
Flash stock images? That was my first line of action. Didn't help. The probelem is still there.

Anyways, I flashed Mahdi 2.7 ROM without GApps and at the end flashed SU as well. Everything succeeded but the Radio issue.

I click on Status from About Phone then I see, "Service State: Radio Off."

HELP!

---------- Post added at 05:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:40 PM ----------

Didn't help. :-/
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GtrCraft:
Did you try another sim card?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Taimur Akmal:
First of all, the sim is not the culprit. When radio is on, it works flawlessy. Secondly, yes, I have tried 4 other carriers' sim on the phone.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ChazzMatt:
Wow. Mahdi is a very good ROM, I am using it now. After installing Mahdi, then you've tried to flash other radios?

Is this a new Nexus 5 phone? Yet the radio works sometimes, in some situations?

I'm not an engineer (though I do work in technical field), but my next thought would have been SIM card or APN issues. But you said sim card is fine, and it wouldn't necessarily give you airplane mode but (I think) would give you a different error message like "missing sim card".

However, APN issues (incomplete settings, wrong settings, incorrect APN choice) just don't give you a signal -- which can emulate airplane mode. But I'm sure you've double checked all that.

I hope someone with more technical knowledge will chime in to help you. I'm very sorry you are having this trouble. This is really a great phone, so it's too bad this is your experience so far. :(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] jcsww:
This is just a shot int he dark but what about with the Nexus Sprint secret menu? There's an app called... Nexus 5 Field Test? You can seriously mess up your phone with that app though. Best of luck!
[Nexus 5 Android Development] ChazzMatt:
Under mobile network settings, what is your "preferred network"? Did it accidentally default to LTE and you don't have LTE?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Taimur Akmal:
Its 2G. I have a 2G Sim.

---------- Post added at 10:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 PM ----------

No idea what the issue is but its not of the APN messing up. I think I should visit the center from which I bought my Sim and see what they think?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] androcraze:
I'd definitely try a different SIM.

I'm thinking:

1 - the phone isn't compatible with the SIM you have -OR-

2 - your carrier identifies your phone as "smart", and expects you to pay "smart" fees

Either way, I'd visit with your provider.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] aeoveu:
Taimur, since you live in Lahore, what carrier are you on?

Also, earlier, when someone said flash the factory images (apologies if this was already stated), I would suggest you use the flash-all.bat file instead of manually flashing each file from fastboot.

Download the 4.4.4 factory images and use the flash-all.bat file. That will WIPE EVERYTHING.

Have you tried this method?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Taimur Akmal:
I am on Warid. And I tested sims of Telenor. Plus, I tried both flashing the images manually and using the Flash-all file. Both seemed to have no solution. :-/

---------- Post added at 07:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 AM ----------

The odd thing is, when it works, I don't know how. It works fine. So I am guessing it's not a hardware issue?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GtrCraft:
It must be a carrier or sim issue. If it was a hardward issue it would never work
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Taimur Akmal:
Now I know for sure it is not a carrier issue. Firstly, couple of my friends have the same Nexus 5 with same hardware revision running fine on the carrier. Secondly, whenever I flash a factory image with no SIM installed, it boots into the system and has Radio off from start. I have tried all factory images and they give same result.

However, now I have another question, once I flash an old baseband on let's say 4.4.2, the baseband goes to unknown? Why? Plus now I have noticed (In NO-SIM flashes), system boots to date 1970. WEIRD problems. :'(
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GtrCraft:
Is your IMEI still shown? Maybe your EFS partition is corrupt
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Taimur Akmal:
My correct IMEI is shown and it's not null/0

EDIT: It will be helpful now if someone shows me how I can reset my Radio/Turn It on. I have tried all other options including flashing CM, they all had no response. Plus now I am thinking something is wrong in the persist partition, let me know how you can format that? Because I am having issue in CWM, it is returning an error.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GtrCraft:
Mac adress, Ip adress?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Taimur Akmal:
WiFi MAC and IP address both are shown correctly.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GtrCraft:
Then go to your carriers shop, nothing we can do
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Taimur Akmal:
You can just tell me how you can turn on the radio. That's all the help you can do.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] androidfreak007:
Restore efs, flash radio, restore efs and reboot. Worked for me.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Taimur Akmal:
Which method you used to flash Radio and restore EFS and which image were you running?

I am gonna give this a try. If it works, will report back!

EDIT: By Image, I mean on which Android version you were when you did this.

EDIT1: Also which recovery you used? If you used any.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] androidfreak007:
4.4.4 purity.

Flashed my efs backup and radio with latest twrp.

Radio 2.0.50.1.17
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Taimur Akmal:
I tried your method while running stock and cyanogen mod. Will see with purity now. You were having the exact issue? Radio being turned off?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] aeoveu:
Him going to the carriers won't do any good; carriers here don't necessarily bother with BYODs, since we don't really have phones on contacts and all.

So... If I understand it correctly, radio SOMETIMES turns on, but later turns off itself automatically? Or does it NEVER manage to turn on?

Edit: typo and clarification.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Taimur Akmal:
It turns on but is off for the past few days now. I am still trying to find a working solution.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] aeoveu:
Alright - do you have any battery saving programs installed on your phone?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Taimur Akmal:
As I said earlier, my phone is constantly being wiped everyday and I am not installing any single app on it after flashing the stock images.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GtrCraft:
You still don't have radio? I guess it's time for you to use warranty then
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Taimur Akmal:
Yeah. I am thinking about it but one more thing I have noticed, when I switch back to 4.4.2 Base-band. My IMEI is gone and everything but Radio is working fine. Now if I update to newer base-bands, IMEI returns but Radio is off. Isn't old base-bands compatible or what does this indicate?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] GtrCraft:
Something is corrupt with the radio, you can use every radio as long as it is a nexus 5 radio
