Are there different radio.img for different models (XT1100, XT 1103)?
[Nexus 6  General] Jaspah:
Considering all of the Nexus 6 models (not sure about non-NA variants) have the same band support, I can't imagine there being a difference...
[Nexus 6  General] tmrma:
Thanks, but the Band support is not the same.

See the androipolice-link there

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/help/n6-xt1100-vs-xt1103-difference-t2995918

I do not want to loose the 800mhz Band LTE on a xt1100 nexus 6 when i test the older r03. In the other hand i cant find other *.img.
[Nexus 6  General] efrant:
No. If there were, Google would have made them available. The available radio images are for both models. The "radio" image does not determine band selection/use. That info is stored in a separate partition.
[Nexus 6  General] tmrma:
OK, thank you
[Nexus 6  General] bmakk2055:
Do I need to backup efs portion before flashing radios to be safe or that was just a nexus 5 thing?
[Nexus 6  General] efrant:
It wasn't even a Nexus 5 thing. Flashing a radio doesn't touch anything related to EFS, be it on a Nexus 5 or Nexus 6. (The radio is on a separate partition from EFS.) That being said it's always best to do a full backup of all the "not-usually-flashed" partitions when you get a new device, just in case you need them. I personally dump all the partitions right after I unlock the bootloader and save them on my computer, just in case I ever need them.
[Nexus 6  General] bmakk2055:
Alright thanks

Have flashed it on primary as well as all secondary roms but still showing 29R in about section... [MENTION=5451244]vt0r[/MENTION]

Primary as AOSiP, Secondaries:- Chroma, Cataclysm, Pure Nexus,aicp(LP)...all latest versions... Any solutions for this now?... Previously all were 27R
[Nexus 6  General] vt0r:
As Tylog said, don't waste your time flashing the radio more than once. Flashing it on any one of your ROMs will apply it to all, as the modem and radio EFS/versions partitions are completely separate from the OS(s).

As for whether or not there's a "solution," I'm not sure there's anything to actually solve. The bootloader has no issue identifying the modem as 05.30R, so I'm inclined to trust that over the OS. Plus, you're the only one of the three to respond so far, so I need to get the same info from the other guys to even try to find the common denominator.

I'm not sure what happened when I flashed this. It failed saying it couldn't write to firmware (if my memory is correct). I stupidly rebooted into recovery and now TWRP asks me for a password which I never set up. I don't know what I did. I'm running Pure Nexus.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[Nexus 6  General] ConTejas2:
F me why didn't I check back here before trying to flash 5 mins ago lol. Install failed as well and looking like a big bowl of boot loops. Hope I don't have any issues on my commute home.
[Nexus 6  General] vt0r:
It's already pulled, but 16 people downloaded first. Will recheck when I get home. In the mean time, fastboot flash the radio image from any factory image archive, and you should be set.
[Nexus 6  General] invisibastard:
It seemed to somehow wipe my SD card as well. I'm doing a complete reload at the moment. It is possible it is something I did during the flash or after the failed flash that caused the wipe. I'm not blaming the zip for that. I still appreciate vt0r getting that out, I got a little too reckless and excited about flashing it. Been brainwashed about Band 12.

Good luck.

Sorry about the borked images from before, guys. Looks like my work machine has some sort of hard drive issue - dmesg is full of fun similar to sector failure. The images I just created matched signature verification across five separate dumps compared to the original images created earlier, but some of the ones that are currently on the work drive don't match, even though they were copied from the same place. I've created a new zip with double-checked, triple-checked + signatures, and I've tested flashing it multiple times on my Nexus 6 without issue, including moving between different radios.

Indeed. Between my terribly slow old laptop (desktop broken) and my rusty fastboot skills it took me until about 2am to get all setup again, but it was a good learning experience and a reminder things can go wrong (not so bad on a Nexus thankfully). For some reason it wipe everything including internal storage. That's not too big of a deal with Google backing up app data and passwords these days.

Apologies for that bump. Consider the thanks an early Xmas gift Lol I meant to thank [MENTION=5451244]vt0r[/MENTION] for the updated radio and my finger was overexcited, moved a lil too fast.

BTW, hope you rec'd the answer to your question. The zip you referenced in your post is the modem by itself in a recovery flashable format. And, the 6.0.1 bootloader is the same as v6.0 and does not require an update. However, Angler, N6P users must fastboot flash the v6.0.1 vendor[dot]img from the Google factory image for a working camera and other proprietary, device specific binaries.

I can confirm no issues flashing the radio or 6.0.1 compiled ROM on v6.0 bootloader on Shamu.

Depending on one's carrier coverage area, some may find not updating the modem the better option. Testing both currently used & updated radio will be the best way to decide. It is working well on T-Mobile in my area, Central Texas. Austin was an early experimental market for Fiber, though it may have no bearing on the bands accessible via different carriers in any given region.

Been on 32R all day... Got home at about 10 PM. Phone's been stuck on 2 lines of signal ever since. Also, see that yellow line? I assure you, my signal was almost always 5/5 bars, with dips to 3/5 or 4/5 for only very short periods of time, not longer than 10 seconds per hour.

Flashing 27R... see how that one goes.

If I get good signal, I'm good to go? Or are there any other underlying things going on which may or may not be as obvious, but important nevertheless, as well?

I want to know this so I can know if I can stop testing out modems...

I mean say for example 95R gives greatest signal all around... Are there any chances the modem is doing anything else in the background, under the hood (something, anything, I DUNNO) that might eat battery? Or it's all about SIGNAL STRENGHT and refresh rate (signal meter getting stuck / not) only?

-----

27R yields same (or even worse) results than 32R. I've been in the subway for the past 20 minutes, happily browsing the Internet, and the signal meter has been showing 0 bars ever since (c'mon, I actually have 5, otherwise I wouldn't be able to score 15 Mbps in a speedtest).

Will give 24R a try, as well. I wouldn't mind it if the signal meter was stuck, if the respective radio would yield better battery life (results which, so far, I did not see at all)...

You don't have to change your radio you find the one that works best on your phone(all phones are different). Mine is on 98r it works best for me. That's why there are so many and flashable you can try one and ck it out until you find the one that works best for you.
