How to flash radio

Thank you! Hovewer I cannot find radio files nor instructions how to do it on that thread (looked at first few pages)...

So is this link http://1drv.ms/1B68msM the other user posted valid for the radio firmware? How do I flash it? Fards user says it breaks the proximity sensor (?)

Maybe the same as modem just using fastboot flash radio file.bin instead?

Thank you

Those files I posted are from the alpha build. They are not for restoring.

If you don't know what you're looking at then please don't experiment

tried the alpha modem with the cm12 nightly from robbie and ran into issues we had with the find7 modem where the light sensor goes wonky on calls. Actually with this radio once the screen is off during a call you can't bring it back on until the other person hangs up.
[ONE General] fards:

ok thank you! then I forget it on 44S stock. are there better modem than 11/28? or the 11/28 is the most stable for 44s? I use now the 11/28 because the 44s stock modem drop the lte connection....

[ONE General] david2112:
Possible fix for others

I already have an update... somebody on Facebook suggested I check the debug menu (*#*#4636#*#*) and I found something interesting there...

Preferred network type was: LTE/GSM auto (PRL)

I'm not yet sure because I'm not at home but I think this was the issue why it always stayed on EDGE after flashing the modem... Now when I switched this setting to "TD-SCDMA, GSM/WCDMA and LTE", I see at least in this menu that it connects to UMTS a lot of the times when I'm outside (I'm in Vienna ATM). I don't have LTE enabled at my operator yet.

I hope this solves that fixation on EDGE when I come back and test it with real data and also I hope that latest modem fixed weak reception from before.

It's strange though why this setting got selected... also someone said it is the right setting (LTE/GSM auto (PRL)), but I don't think so, because really it seems this ignores UMTS 100% of the time.

Cool, thank you for that thread! After reading it I also noticed that settings don't stick after reboot... no solution so far... anyone here knows the solution? Also I asked on this thread why LTE/GSM ignores 3G, I only get EDGE... I'd rather use that setting because of more battery drain (supposedly) on 'TD-SCDMA, GSM/WCDMA and LTE' setting because of search for non-existing TD-SCDMA signal.
[ONE General] cam30era:

No, I didn't understand that.. AT&T for me in Europe, why? I think this won't help with saving of the settings and probably also not with Edge being used on LTE/GSM... maybe I'm wrong...

I am interested too, I live in Budapest, Hungary (Europe), which is the best settings?

With TD-SCDMA, GSM/WCDMA and LTE I get better 3G and EDGE signal. LTE is not so important for me.

I have T-Mobile H sim card wit LTE subscription, but in Hungary T-Mobile use the frequency for LTE most the 800 Mhz and not on 1800 MHz. In Budapest the two frequency is available but 800Mhz is the best and as I know, OnePlus One can not use 800Mhz....

The Alpha One that passed to the Official CM12 Nightly (I've checked the MD5 for both alpha NON-HLOS.bin and nightly one).

So it's the Nightly Modem now.

If your ROM is official CM11S XNPH44S, the new OPO alpha LP modem (radio) will not work properly, it's for latest LP ROMs only. For CM11S you need one of CM radios from OP, like the last one 44S radio.

I am asking because the CM12 modem also flashes a second file static_nvbk.bin.

And the 44s modem from first thread does not flash back the old static_nvbk.bin as well. Or?

So I would not be 100% convinced you can revert completely back by that.

At least, I made my own 44s modem flash which also flashes the "old" static_nvbk.bin back.

Still, nobody seems to know what static_nvbk.bin really is and does. Maybe my point is completely useless...

That bug actually popped up on SlimKat a while ago too, and then [MENTION=4911350]RobbieL811[/MENTION] managed to fix it. Robbie, do you happen to remember what you did? I think the problem was happening on SlimKat only when you used the flash, no flash and the pictures were fine.

The OnePlus One of my dad has the unknown Baseband/IMEI problem, and I can't get a mobile signal. Wi-fi works though. This suddenly started (2 days ago now), without any reason at all. It's his first smartphone so he doesn't know anything about modifications. The phone was running on the stock CM version, the way it was shipped.

I have tried about everything I could find (factory reset, flashing ColorOS, deleting modemst1 and modemst2, you name it). I did NOT make a backup of the EFS partition (who would even think about that, if you are just planning on using it the way it shipped).

Is there anything else I can do?

modem issues

Still having issues with my modem.

Only 2G seems to work, already swapped my sim for a new one.

If I set it to LTE my connection keeps turning off and on trying to find signal.

I tried about 10 versions of modem files but no result.

This phone is my work phone so being unreachable is not acceptable.

I have it currently set to 2G and also flashed my phone to lollipop, the connection is rock solid on 2G.

In places where 4/3G is very strong there is no problem.

Only able to use wifi for internet since speeds on 2G are not good, but hey I am reachable!

Made a ticket at OnePlus to resolve this issue but no response yet.

Does anyone have a solution for this problem? I think this is all related to lower grade hardware used in the OPO.

Maybe the antenna quality is causing this? Since it is working perfectly close to the 4/3G antenna mast.
