Interesting: the latest Developer M radio is not working with VZW for me: says no service.
[Nexus 6  General] MrBrady:
I'm on the Dev2 M radio (I think) on VZW and it works fine

Attached is a screenshot of my settings. How do I translate the Baseband into the modems listed here? View attachment 3418245
[Nexus 6  General] russlowe73:
Yes, you are. 17r is m2 radio.

Sent from my PureNexus from Hellscore N6
[Nexus 6  General] Alarbus:
I was using the M2 radio on my VZW N6 (not bought from Verizon), and apparently I wasn't receiving ANY text messages while using this radio. Reverted to 98r and about 30 messages piled in. So.
[Nexus 6  General] sweetpete220:
I'm also using the M2 radio on my N6 purchased through Google and it's working great. The signal is strong and it seems like the battery life is better too. Could just be my imagination though.
[Nexus 6  General] Alarbus:
Yeah, I plan on testing it a bit more, because the speed and signal on M2 were great, but texts are kind of important. My speed with 98r was awful, so I'm trying M1 (16r?), and so far I'm getting somewhat better speed and still getting texts.

Annoying. I bought the phone through Motorola, and just using a Verizon SIM, stock LMY47Z (i think), rooted.
[Nexus 6  General] sweetpete220:
You might want to check the sim out. I used my sim from my note 4 and cut it down to size. I called Verizon support to have them send me a sim for free and the guy I talked to said I needed one specific to that device. He said sometimes going from an apple device to Samsung or Samsung to Motorola can get things messed up with service. I don't know if it's true or not but he sent me one for free and my phone is working great now. Probably worth a shot at least.
[Nexus 6  General] Alarbus:
I thought about that, but I've been using the phone on Verizon since January, and it was only an issue when I changed the radio, and the problem vanished when I flashed back. I mean, maybe there's some weird interaction where the newer radio needs a newer SIM, but it really shouldn't
[Nexus 6  General] sweetpete220:
Yeah I agree. It's probably just a radio issue. My sim was working fine but I figured if they're gonna send me a new "nexus 6" one, whether it exists or not, I wasn't gonna argue with them. Using chroma with the stock radio my picture messages took about 30 minutes to be received on the other end but with the m2 radio they go through much faster.
[Nexus 6  General] u89taper:
I shouldn't have been so impatient, but my Verizon Radio was 101r. Should've tried to capture it. I installed the M2 radio on Verizon. I'll test and report back.
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
If you want to go back to the 101R radio, you can flash it via fastboot. It's no problem.
[Nexus 6  General] u89taper:
I didn't back it up. Does twrp automatically create a backup?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:

Can i flash the M preview radio's on the tmobile variant if im on 5.1.1? Or do i need to flash the bootloader also?
[Nexus 6  General] S0UTHPAWK1LLA:
I've never changed my bootloader and have tried every radio for VZW. For whatever reason, the 102r works best for me. Then again.. For those having signal bounce, someone posted to put it on Global, go to Network provider, choose one that is not your provider, let it do it's thing..then go back and choose the automatically choose option. It'll say registered on network and won't bounce again. WORKS..why? No clue
[Nexus 6  General] u89taper:
Can you please point me towards the 102r radio? I'd like to give this a try! Also, if you have a link to the above discussion (switching to global, etc), I'd love to read more about it

[Nexus 6  General] thakXDA:
I'm a little nervous about potentially soft bricking my N6. Got the M preview radio.img ready to go and my phone hooked up via adb.

It's just "fastboot flash radio radio.img", correct? Pending I'm pointing at the correct directory for that radio.img file.

Do I need to be in recovery or anything like that first?
[Nexus 6  General] thakXDA:
Thanks. I think I've got a handle on it now. It seems like (from ref materials) that flashing the radio image won't wipe the phone/ROM, correct? I'm already unlocked and running CM12.

edit: Went ahead and did this after a backup, but it still shows me as baseband MDM9625_104335.118.02.55.01R, though I did flash the M preview radio.
[Nexus 6  General] thakXDA:
I did. I'm currently on CWM recovery but I may switch if I can't get anything to work.

Log output from Wugs (tried after the fastboot command line didn't appear to do anything):

To wit, the command/flash is working, I just can't tell if it's actually "taking" or not because About Phone still shows the MDM9625_104335.118.02.55.01R baseband.
[Nexus 6  General] thakXDA:
Thanks. I've tried again from home just straight up command line flashing it. Seems to work fine but still reporting the old baseband. Some googling tells me that the CM12.1 ROM may be preventing it from installing despite the lack of errors. Since I've got TWRP, can I just throw the zip on my phone and flash it that way?

The TWRP options seem pretty light as far as installing new ROMs. I just pick the zip and go? (I only ask because fastboot has me specify "radio", but TWRP install doesn't).

[Nexus 6  General] Trooper27:
So what which radio is the best on VZW?
[Nexus 6  General] cam30era:
We really can't answer that for you. It depends on your location, cell towers in your area, and a lot of other variables. It is very easy to flash the different radios and try them out. But don't be too quick to pass judgement. Give it at least a week on each radio before making a decision.

[Nexus 6  General] andreak:
Hi all! Just a few questions, I' m absolutely new to this argument... Yesterday i flashed a new Rom, radio signal seems to be worst now, is that possible? (I mean I didn't flash any modem,so it should be the same as before...) ..

Now, if I decide to flash a different modem, which one should I install? Can I flash whatever modem I want like for example the one from m preview? (Except modems for precise carriers like Verizon which should be american modem I guess)....last question, when I install a zip file, should I wipe anything or simply flash it with twrp and then reboot to system? Thank you in advance for answers...have a nice day!
[Nexus 6  General] Tylog:
Yes it's possible. I think the Rom included a different Ril as the Rom that you used befor, maybe another reason, maybe more people at the place where you are and the transmission tower power must be distributed more. Many this could be the reason. But to answer your question, yes, different Rom could be the reason.

And yes, you can use any Modem, no Whether Kitkat modem with lollipop, T Mobile Modem with another provider or whatever.
[Nexus 6  General] andreak:
Thanks! Yeah, i probably should wait before flashing a new one, cause I see now signal is better than yesterday (same place of course) so there are many things to consider I guess....so let' s wait a while! Thanks a lot for your answer!

Been experimenting with radios a bit.

I am on AT&T. I switched to the M2 radio almost immediately after I bought the phone about 6 weeks ago. The reception was dramatically better than my galaxy S6. But still hoping for better .... I tried one of the latest pre M radios and then the M3 radio

In my home the pre M radio is showing:

96 dBm 99asu

And the M2 radio:

106 dBm 36 asu

I understand that -106 dBm is better number than the -96, but what about the asu drastic difference
[Nexus 6  General] Ingenium13:
-96 is better. The lower the number the better. Asu is the opposite, higher is better.

Sent from my Nexus 6
[Nexus 6  General] slider112:
99 asu is technically "unknown" and will cause your signal bars to drop out completely, even though you're still connected to data and all is well. It's been a bug in android ever since lollipop was released. As far as dBm the previous poster is correct; 96 is better signal than 106.

Anyone have any experience with the new M preview 3 radio (.24R), specifically on AT&T? If so how is signal/data speeds for you? Just curious; the other preview radios are working great for me.
