Just wanna give my 2 cents: The 44S modem is great!

The place i live has a real bad connection. (Remote part of Germany)

It's really bad and marked mostly unavailable on the coverage maps of the telcos. Even though i always had a weak signal in certain places in my house. I was running a Galaxy S2 before and it was really bad until i changed the modem and it went from basically s**t to yeah, at least i can talk, which was all i wanted.

I got my OPO a few weeks ago and it was running the 33r version and i was really disappointed that it was just as bad as the S2 before updating the radio. Flashed the ColorOS modem and i had slightly better reception, but it was a bit jerky. (at least in the room i am working all day long) It connected and disconnected a few seconds later and connected again. So it was not really stable, but at least i could use it in another room, where the connection was stable. But that way, i missed calls sometimes as i had to run into the next room to pick up the phone.

Alas, flashed the 44s radio 2 days ago and everything is WAY better. Steady signal, without droppings and reception went from "no bar jumping to 1 bar and back" to 2 steady bars (99dbm in Network Signal Info) in the room i stay mostly! This is just the way the S2 had when i upgraded the modem!

[ONE General] konrad496:
There you go mate
[ONE General] TjPhysicist:
So i decided to look here as I have flashed L build(s) and I am now getting 6 hours STANDBY due to signal issues. 2 questions:

would L (when it's production/released) come with a new radio? Will it (again) be the same baseband (damn you CM!)?

I really haven't the FOGGIEST what the radio on my phone is, I bought chinese OPO from a 3rd party site (expansys) and for all i know they could have flashed a different radio (though it had chinese ROM), since my buddy bought from somewhere else and got a chinese OPO with CM installed on it (installed BADLY i might add, the recovery didn't match the CM resulting in an inability to do OTA updates).

anyone here using Airtel+4G in India?
[ONE General] zephiK:
1. When official "L" comes for OPO. It will most likely come with a new radio as it'll be a lot of time in between the current OTA and then next OTA. But nothing is concrete. Same version? None of us can answer since none of us work for CM.

2. Just flash the radio you want to use.
[ONE General] dhaub:
Hey there people,

Chinese OPO owner here, based in China, I just installed the 44S update and I've lost my 3G. Previously when I installed OTA updates I just needed to reflash the FIND7 modem but when I tried it this time it put my phone into a kind of bootloop - phone boots for a few minutes then resets over and over again . Any suggestions as to how I might recover my 3G i read in the previous posts that I might need to reflash a collection of partitions but I'm not sure where I might find those other files..
[ONE General] zephiK:
Thats exactly the reason why I removed the FIND7 modem from the OP. Its causing problems for people on the OPO, its not playing nice with the newer firmware. Try the radios from ColorOS even though those radios are pretty much the same ones as the nightlies.

Edit: Check http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2793471
[ONE General] fards:
There was a post from the opo team working on coloros that said they are working closely with Qualcomm on the modem as it's a lot different to the find 7.

Hopefully we'll see some fruits from that labour soon.

[ONE General] konrad496:
That's great news, thanks for sharing.
[ONE General] dhaub:
I've now tried the ColorOS modem 09/18/14 and the CM11 M8 and still no cigar. Both of them apparently work (no crashing) but still with no 3G. I'm beginning to think I might have to wipe CM11s and put CM11 or some other rom and try the FIND7 modem.

I'm pretty peeved at this in a way, I paid decent money for this thing on the promise of CM. I don't know why OP continue this discrimination against the Chinese OPO owners forcing us to sideload modems and the like. They should just give us a separate CM fork that is guaranteed to work like CM11s does for the international owners.
[ONE General] apatal:
I'm using a Chinese OPO flashed with stock CM11s (running full stocked) and I have no problem with 3G or LTE.
[ONE General] dhaub:
I'm guessing this is a problem for those of us based in China who are trying to use China's 3G network (china unicom)... In any case despite my having reverted back to 38R I still can't use the find7 modem (still crashes) and I still have no 3G... I even tried flashing a static_nvbk.bin file i found from the ColorOS1.2update to no avail...

I'm thinking I might have to go right from the very beginning and start with an early ColorOS build, go over to an early CM11S build and then only upgrade to 38R.

Anybody got any other suggestions that I might be able to try??
[ONE General] andip71:
Try flashing 38R factory image, then find7 modem could work again.

Not 38R rom, really the complete factory image that fully resets all partitions back to their proper content.

There are how-to's around for this.

And yes, you will lose all content on your phone by doing that.

[ONE General] hikhokk:
Can I flash this if im using PA ROM? If yes which one should i flash? Thanks
[ONE General] dhaub:
Tried that process, downloaded the factory images from cyanogen site flashed according to manual fastboot tutorial listed in general (flashing all the partitions, lost all data..).

I've got some leads however but,.. I need a little help with the translation.

http://www.oneplusbbs.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=558052&highlight=联通

This page appears to provide what looks like a 44s pre-rooted and ready to use rom with china unicom, however there are some steps I can't quite decipher. Anybody around here read a bit of chinese? I tried translate but its not so clear.

I've tried flashing the provided rom and it still doesn't seem to work.
[ONE General] zephiK:
Flash the one thats best for you. It doesn't matter what ROM you're using.

Which one is the best for you? Can't say since you don't live where I live, so just because one radio is better for me doesn't necessarily translate that it'll be better for you.
[ONE General] dhaub:
Apologies for taking up so much thread space, the issue seems to have been resolved.

Have you compared that one in hex? It's definitely different to the 44s /38r. The core modem code is from may.

Is also getting incredible results

Flashed it ran speed test getting 18mbs download.

Flashed 38r ran several tests getting 5-8mb download.

Flashed this one back and instantly getting 15mb+ again.

So didn't appear to be placebo.

Can't grab screen shot in cm12 to post it.

Hi!

I flashed the radio this morning via Fastboot without any error.

It also shows up as adviced - I also get signal (german 4G)

But my phone won't wake up from Standby anymore...

It wakes by incoming calls - but not from the powerbutton.

OPO

AUX Kernel

Liquid-Smooth all-F2FS ROM 4.4.4/KK

Anybody similar results?
[ONE General] orangerot.:
Well I tried that new modem now aswell. Got that assert error too (altough I don't get why as the assert should be fine). Now the phone goes into a bootloop after rebooting. Flashed back 44s I was running before, still bootloop. After reflashing the ROM it boots up but falls back into the bootloop once that "refreshing apps thing is done. Now trying a clean install to fix it. . Hope it'll boot and I don't have to start all over again via fastboot.. I won't touch that modem again...

//EDIT//

After wiping everything (except internal storage) and reflashing my rom the phone is back working again. Can't tell why the modem f***ed up the whole system (probably something one /data , as a /system only wipe didn't recover the system). I have the international 64Gb OPO..

After checking the updater-script it's checking for the device name A0001. As my device name is A0001 it should run fine. There's soemthing really weird . (Downloaded the modem from the Mega Link provided here)

Anyone know how to fix it. It's killing my download times on the one plus one.

[ONE General] zephiK:
That doesn't belong here, http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/general/oneplus-one-speed-test-result-thread-t2844144 is the thread for speedtests.

Modem/baseband/radios has no effect on WiFi, it only has effect on cellular data. All the WiFi driver related specifics are in the kernel. Turn off WiFi optimization and try using other TCP Algorithms (in kernel apps). As you can see my WiFi is perfectly fine, using Franco Kernel + Mahdi.
[ONE General] osmosizzz:
Im running speedtests because of radio issues.... Anyways, I flashed 30O 5 times back to back. That seemed to do the trick.

Weird. After flashing the radio, wifi speeds are normal. Still have the same kernel with same settings. But I'm just happy i got it sorted out

Just via custom recovery...i don't think they are flashable with the stock one.

BTW, Philz=CWM
[ONE General] zephiK:
Correct. Custom recovery of your choice or extract the .bin file out of the zip and fastboot flash it but using a custom recovery is the easiest way to go about from 1 modem to the next.
[ONE General] funCrash93:
Thanks :D

yeah indeed saw checks for zips :)
[ONE General] Vonnegut:
For me the fastest one was:

adb shell

su

dd if=/data/media/0/.<modem_name>.bin of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem ***

adb reboot

I would use the recovery only if i'm doing some outdoor testing :)

[ONE General] zephiK:
I'll have to take a look at the find7 modems and add them to the list sometime today. Is there a existing list of modems? Or will I have seek them throughout the forums.
[ONE General] LookedPath:
It should not be a kernel problem.

Color OS and OPPO modems already gave problems in the past, take the light sensor going crazy as example.

The color OS modem is built for a chinese ROM, it may be possible that it has something that doesn't like the baseband in all other ROMs. ?
[ONE General] efattal:
I had the same issues, unable to wake the phone to end the calls I received (had to reboot the phone). I will stick with the default modem (bpear CM12). I tried with AK kernel but it didn't solve the problem.

[ONE General] fards:
As I don't have access to qualcoms code I can only make assumptions.

Mdm on Qualcomm chips provides quite a lot of things including power.

It may have broken that pipe.

The same thing was noted with the find 7 modem which this modem bears an uncanny (ie same chunks of hex when decompiled) too.

The symptoms as described directly above all point to the sensors being borked. Dt2w checks proximity sensor to make sure it's not going off in the pocket.

without wipe. the day after installing new modem i had excessive consuming but after 2 day the battery consuming is the same than 44s. with the last modem I have less signal loss. for me it's better than the 44s. clearly it is my opinion. I live in Italy - L'Aquila (near Rome) operator TIM.

This happened to me too, any opinions and suggestions as to why? Any response is appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT: I am on Mahdi ROM which is probably based on the CM11s 44, so when I flashed the modem zips that came before this build it will give this error of blank APN and you cannot add on to it. Flashing back to the 44 modem restores the APN. I guess from this trials, you cannot revert back to older modems.
