Best Signal in Latest ColorOS 2.0.44i

I am having bad reception on my OPO since 25R. The 44S update made my reception slightly better but it was not stable. It was always switching between H+ to 3G then E (when set to LTE / GSM auto PRL or WCDMA preferred). 90% of the time it is on E even if I'm using the data on my phone. When I set the network type to WCDMA only, the phone signal is totally zero. I am living in an area where signal reception is low but my Sony Xperia Tipo can stay on 3G all the time if I change the network type to WCDMA only. My carrier does not have LTE yet.

I read all the forum posts regarding OPO reception and tried all the methods. Flashed all modem (including modem of ColorOS 2.0.44i) on my 44S but none made it better. Some modems made the reception worse and some bricked my phone (Luckily was able to restore it with the OnePlusRecovery Tool found in this forum. So be careful not to flash the wrong files). Even flashed CM12 nightlys but the signal was still bad. I tried everything that was written in XDA and Oneplus forum.

Finally after reading one of the comment in a post regarding OPO reception, I made a backup of my CM11S, wiped it completely and flashed Latest ColorOS_2.0.44i_fix.zip from the link below.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57106972&postcount=2

After flashing ColorOS, OPO signal was amazing. It stayed on H+/3G and it was very stable. I was able to open webpage and even download file at amazing speed. When I set the network type to WCDMA only, it was stable on H+/3G without dropping the signal to zero.

I restored CM11S (and flashed the Full 44S modem) and the reception problem returned.

My OPO does not have any other problems other than bad reception. I love the reception that ColorOS can provide but I love CM11S features. CM11S is currently my daily driver and I do not want to switch to ColorOS. I guess there is something that CM is missing which ColorOS did correctly. Hopefully CM12S or OxygenOS can address this problem. If not, I have no choice but to switch to ColorOS.... :crying:
[ONE General] Criton30:
which modems bricked your phone? I dont know why, but with the newest and stable boeffla kernel and with 28112014 nightly modem on 3G all is fine. I have tested too all modems (25R, 30O, ColorOS modem, 33R, 44S) but I did not bricked my phone....
[ONE General] neohimura:
Actually the one that bricked my phone was a flashable file that contained ColorOS modem, rpm, static_nvbk.bin and some other files. Found it in some forum. My mistake.. Just wanted to warn our OPO friends. :D

Are you running 44S with 28112014 nightly modem and boeffla kernel? I'm downloading the nightly now and will let you know if anything changes.
[ONE General] Criton30:
I have flashed the ColorOS modem from here, so from the first site, and was no problem but the same issue, worse signal....

I have LTE , iam at T-Mobile Hungary but T-Mobile most use 800Mhz for LTE and 1800Mhz, 99,9% only 800Mhz, therefore the LTE signal is only in the center of Budapest is good.... Therefore I use only 3G and have no signal problem...

If you have flashed wrong rpm, static_nvbk.bin....why did you not flashed the full 44S modem from Boeffla? Because the zip file contains all stock file (rpm, static_nvbk.bin...)
[ONE General] neohimura:
Because after I flashed the wrong file, my OPO could not even go into bootloader. It was totally dead and I couldn't flash full 44S modem. When plugged into my laptop USB, it shows Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 on device manager. The solution was to follow this post:

http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-unbrick-oneplus-one-t3013732

Can someone tell me the exact modem name of latest CM11 XNPH44S?
[ONE General] DisturbanceZ:
im using CM11 nightly before. Nightly's signal is great. Then i changed to PA Alpha 5.0 Lollipop. But my signal is very weak. So i flash to different modem, and i got no signal at all. So i revert back to stock ROM 11.0-XNPH44S. Still no signal. So the question is, do flashing other ROM will remove previous radio/modem? Can we keep flashing to different modem until we get the correct one?

Sry br0k3n gr@mm@r
[ONE General] neohimura:
If you restore a TWRP backup of 44S, you need to flash the 44S modem separately after performing the restore because restoring a backup does not restore the modem. Atleast that is what happened to me. Flash the Full-XNPH44S-modem-flashable.zip from this link.

http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/bacon/modems/
[ONE General] derekk75j:
no, only if the rom contains NON-HLOS.bin file. You can check the rom you installed: open the zip with winrar (or similar)

I clean flash my stock ROM. I followed this thread from A to Z;

[ONE General] Criton30:
I have installed on two device your mentioned Find7 modem, bootloop.......
[ONE General] derekk75j:
On latest rom, partitions were changed! Find7 modem uses old partitions type, so if you install it on lollipop rom, bootloop!

here you'll find almost all modems, except those of colorOS find7

size of latest modems is 58,5mb, they are ok on lollipop rom.

Others, indeed, are 57,5mb, for non lollipop roms

Kitkat not Loli
[ONE General] bL33d:
So if ur on latest 11s do other modems not work cause I tried a couple and had no service till I flashed 44 modem back.
[ONE General] neohimura:
Normally the ROMs uses NON-HLOS.bin for modem.. If you follow the steps you mentioned above, it should have flashed the ROM's modem. If you are using 44S, try reflashing the Full 44S modem file i posted previously on recovery. Maybe flashing other ROM messed up other partition that is related to the modem.

Can I flash the modem of ColorOS on CM11S? When I was with ColorOS the LTE/3G was so much better :/

Stock XNPH52Q has been leaked, and reportedly includes a new radio.

Just installed the new modem on cm11 with the cm12 firmware and the difference is like night and day. Switching between 2g,3g, and LTE is now instantaneous, not sure about the signal strength though since I haven't gone anywhere. But it hasn't gotten worse so I'd say its working fine.

[ONE General] bossofindy:
Sorry if this has been asked before but do these radios work regardless of which firmware you are on cm11 or cm12. Can I run slimlp with 44s radio
[ONE General] Heisenberg:
No, you must use the Lollipop modem on Lollipop ROMs, and KitKat modem on KitKat ROMs, or your proximity sensor won't work properly, which will mean you can't wake the device.

[ONE General] playya:
It also depends on the build date since the early LP ROMs from early Jan did not need the new firmware. Although any of the latest definitely do
[ONE General] reaper000:
This radio file is from darkobas, and all credit belongs to him.

He has kindly fixed the boot flash screen, and included all relevant files from the Feb 9, 2015 CM12 nightly that makes this latest modem work. The flashable zip is called CM12_Extras.zip

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934525952

Personally, I think it works at least as well as the last radio!
[ONE General] zephiK:
Ahh some familiar faces, I haven't been on these forums for a long time :( I've moved onto the Nexus 6, back into the familiar grounds.

Hmm, well that puts me at a conflict as I wanted to include only the newest radio but apparently KK basebands only work with KK. I guess this zip will do
[ONE General] nazfalas:
MD5 check on both the radio from the new OTA as well as the one form the CM12_extras.zip shows that they are different.

Here you go:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7-IvPB9SdRwRjNSRXZsSEJXSlE/view?usp=sharing

I have not tried this as I am using CM12 atm.

Just took the plunge on latest CM12 nightly (09-02-15) and it works perfectly fine. --> proximity sensor not working as with all CM11 radios on CM12.
[ONE General] MickyMax:
Just flashed the OTA with no issues. Let's see how it performs compared to 44S, specially the radio.
[ONE General] chikimonke:
Just to clarify, there were 2 radios from today. One was from the CM11S OTA and the other was from the CM12 nightly. The members you gave credit to in the OP for the latest modem gave the link for the CM12 modem and then a couple posts later, someone posted the OTA modem.
[ONE General] NeGriTa79:
If you can help, I will explain how to use the modem CM11, on Android 5.0.2:

- Download modems that interests you old rom CM11 / CM11S (if you want this is the new modem XNPH52Q)

- Download the patch file of the Old Proximity Sensor (credits go to NoSpamDan - Link to the original discussion - 2nd Question)

- Enter in recovery and make a backup for safety

- Flashing the modem

- Flashing Patch old sensor

- Restart

Now you will have the modem of Roms CM11 / CM11S, on all roms CM12, with the proximity sensor functioning. (I do I mount the Temasek 7.4 and works with modem XNPH52Q proximity sensor)

For those who want to return to the new modem, just back into recovery :

- ONLY WIPE : SYSTEM, CACHE, DAVILK CACHE (with this wipe does not erase any data or application)

- Reflash their rom

- Reflash this file, which contains the new modem CM12 of 02/09 and Fix Logo.

- Reflash the Gapps

- Reflash the SuperSu

- Restart

I hope I was of help.

Sorry for the English, but use a translator !!!

You're a good guy and I appreciated this thread when it first came about, but when dealing with things like firmware and modems, one should make sure they fully understand what they are linking to. Not having the device, and therefore, probably not following all the news for it, would make this difficult.

If you are able to use the CM11S modem with PA that means they haven't merged the latest from CM. Back in January I believe there were changes from CM that required the latest firmware and modem. Prior to that, CM11 firmware and modems worked just fine on LP based ROMs.

I'm afraid you'll have to specify what you mean by "this" in your entry.

Do you mean the cm11s post right above yours? Or which cm12 firmware?

If you're on a blisspop version after Feb 9, then you probably want the latest cm12 firmware.

The following link is to a flashable zip containing the Feb 9th firmware (even if it's dated Feb 16, people say they're the same) provided by a highly respected dev.

http://boeffla.df-kunde.de/bacon/modems/Full-CM12-16.02.15-modem-flashable.zip

Please be aware that flashing a bad download of firmware has a greater potential of bricking a device than almost anything else typically flashed.

Good luck!

UPDATE : There's a newer zip (I haven't checked its contents to confirm) that's also posted by another respected dev. Just wanted to pass it on.

Simply question... the 05Q Modem include whit latest OTA of CM11s for some users causes some problems whit some bluethoot device.

At this point i thinks the only solution it's:

- Wait the release of CM12s appers at end of this month

- Flash a different kernel using alternative modem

Or i don't know it's possibile to pick a modem from cm12 nightly and flash on cm11s............ if not exist a most newer modem to flash over cm11s ?? Like a modem extracted for a most recent version of cm11 nightly ?
