[Nexus 6P General] v12xke:
The bootloader and radio are two separate image files that are flashed to different partitions. OP just made a flashable zip file that contains both with a script to flash together. If you look inside his zip you will find the radio image file, although it looks like he renamed it. If you're in a hurry you can just flash OP's "radio.modem.img" from TWRP recovery. You can read about how to do that here.

The best (and safest) place to get these files is directly from Google. Inside the NMF26F image file (or previous version), you will find all of the individual image files and a flashall.bat batch file. You just use ZIP or RAR to extract them. Read that batch file Notepad or other text editor and you will see the individual fastboot flash commands to flash the bootloader, boot, modem, system, vendor, cache, etc. partitions. Each image is flashed to it's own partition. I encourage you to learn how to use ADB and Fastboot. It is worthwhile, and probably will save your bacon one day. A dev here on XDA has created a slick 15 second mini-installer for ADB, Fastboot, and drivers for your PC. Good luck!

Edit: I found a bunch of older versions of the angler radio.img by Googling "radio-angler"....but the current radio is working very well, except for some ppl on Verizon that can't live without Visual Voicemail. :confused:
[Nexus 6P General] lieffring:
Is there a new bootloader and radio for N4F26J or N4F26I build?
[Nexus 6P General] Aswin08:
There is a new radio for J build.
[Nexus 6P General] tupac4u:
Updated to N4F26J
[Nexus 6P General] RED ZMAN:
Unfortunately the file cannot be downloaded. Any chance you could use a site like Android file host? Something with the md5 posted on the same page?

I've also found I cannot copy the md5 from the first post using the XDA Labs forum app. I've gotten the attached error everytime I try to open the download page in Chrome on my Nexus 6p period

By the way, I'd like to thank you for your hard work you do on this stuff. It really pays off for those of us that can't get access to a computer to flash these when needed.
[Nexus 6P General] RED ZMAN:
I didn't see that their pop-up warning was scrollable and had more information, here's what the second half said.
[Nexus 6P General] jt1998:
I got it to download on my phone using Chrome Canary in desktop mode.
[Nexus 6P General] RED ZMAN:
Completely forgot about Desktop Mode. Managed to finally get it by opening this thread in Chrome, changing that tab to desktop, copying and pasting the download link.

Someone also downloaded it having the same problems and loaded it to Dropbox for me. Thanks!
[Nexus 6P General] scoot0073:
The radio flashed fine thanks Dev for sharing..

I think you also posted the wrong link.
[Nexus 6P General] Link0909:
Great job bro! Thanks for making the zip. You really help alot of people out that don't have a PC or don't know to flash these manually. I have adb/fastboot but this is so much faster so I have been using it lately. Makes it easy to switch back and forward to try out different Roms that are in different venders and radio image. Thanks bro
[Nexus 6P General] vagelis74:
Great job this ZIP save more time and ad game play with deferent roms
[Nexus 6P General] Bobbaloo:
Nice to have this available. Thanks [MENTION=5284958]tupac4u[/MENTION]
[Nexus 6P General] jhs39:
Works great.
[Nexus 6P General] sValtman17:
First off, thanks [MENTION=5284958]tupac4u[/MENTION] for the time and effort you contribute to XDA. Grateful to have devs such as yourself producing quality results. Searched through the thread for anything related to error 11 shown in twrp and not finding anything. The latest bootloader and radio did install. This happened on the previous update as well. All is working fine, just wondering if it is related to twrp (already searched twrp thread with 1 result asking about it but no answer given). My gut says its twrp aka fubar.
[Nexus 6P General] tupac4u:
Hi there, twrp version?
[Nexus 6P General] sValtman17:
3.0.2-0 haven't ventured into 7.1 very happy with my everything works 6.1 rom. I do like to stay current on the bootloader and more importantly the radio. Each update has improved reception and clarity. Installs fine, just the error code11 on the last line. Thanks for the time saving zip. Anything that improves my current rom is greatly appreciated.
[Nexus 6P General] jhs39:
You're​ probably getting an error because the bootloader and radio aren't intended for Marshmallow. I'm surprised you can even flash them without screwing up your phone. Especially the bootloader.
[Nexus 6P General] sValtman17:
Both might be intented for nougat but are backwards compatible. Radio has been particularly useful. I am sure my error code 11 is related to twrp.
[Nexus 6P General] jhs39:
While I can understand why a newer radio might improve functionality, although I have never noticed any improvement from radio to radio, what possible good can come from flashing a Nougat bootloader onto a Marshmallow ROM? It's your phone obviously but what benefits do you think you gain from doing this?
[Nexus 6P General] tekno4ever:
Dont really like or use Mega anymore since the NZ gov't hacked their source code so if anyone wants to download from google drive feel free to use the link below. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bz5u3qkqd3Y2cUdwMEtLSUZLdzQ
[Nexus 6P General] maximusmullivan:
Just curious, did the developer give you permission to post this link?
[Nexus 6P General] sValtman17:
I do get better longer LTE with each radio update on MM.

Bootloader doesn't solve anything but doesn't hurt anything either. I keep a backup just in case. The real concern is twrp. But that discussion doesn't belong here. My point is tupac's time saving zip works with MM. The error code11 after the installation was the question, not whether it is appropriate. Obviously I am benefitting. I was hopeful someone else had the same error and determined it was twrp, not the script.
[Nexus 6P General] mbk17:
I'm still on baseband MM 03.61 is it safe to flash the latest radio-angler-angler-03.79 even though it is for nougat? I saw something mentioned earlier in regards to older radios for newer builds but I would like to know if newer radios are fine with older builds. Thanks
[Nexus 6P General] DocteurN:
They are fine, no problem! ;)
[Nexus 6P General] Ad.Shk2:
It's the radio and bootloader from the stock or aosp ROM. The developer is Google :)
[Nexus 6P General] maximusmullivan:
Except the zip file they're packaged in
[Nexus 6P General] Ad.Shk2:
Then you're talking about the packer, not the developer.
[Nexus 6P General] maximusmullivan:
So who gave him permission to post the mirror?
[Nexus 6P General] jt1998:
Just my 2 cents, why do you care? If you're not the dev or the moderator, let them deal with it. Not everybody needs to police the threads/forums. I think he's just trying to be helpful, but if the dev wants him to take it down, he should take it down but why not let the parties involved resolve it?? :good: :confused:
[Nexus 6P General] maximusmullivan:
Seems disrespectful to do it
[Nexus 6P General] mikeandjaimie:
Come on, this is the Internet.. People cross post stuff all the time and share links to be helpful. In no way is he trying to take credit for it or saying he made/hosted it. He was just trying to be helpful which is the whole point of these forums and this thread. People need to take a pill and calm the heck down.
[Nexus 6P General] galaxys:
^I recommend LSD! :D:cool:
[Nexus 6P General] akenis:
So why do some people recommend to always use fast boot for radio and recovery. Any added risk doing it this way?
[Nexus 6P General] SlimSnoopOS:
Any number of reasons. Personal preference. You don't have to wait on someone to create a zip for the latest radio/bootloader. Singular and reliable source that hosts the files is always accessible (hosting sites go down for maintenance). But mostly, encouraging fastboot eases the anxiety others may have with utilizing terminal commands.

There's always a risk on XDA. You could have an incomplete download and brick your phone. It's unlikely, but it is possible. The developer is great at what he does and there's already been plenty others that have run these zips in advance.
[Nexus 6P General] EXV:
Can I downgrade radios by flashing the appropriate zip?
[Nexus 6P General] joeyfong:
yeap
[Nexus 6P General] EXV:
Awesome thank you!
[Nexus 6P General] galaxys:
Keep in mind that the zips also contains the Bootloader....
[Nexus 6P General] psychomaniac189:
can we get the bootloaders and radios in separate zips?
[Nexus 6P General] fLipz:
i have, but i don't want to hijack this thread.

PEACE!
[Nexus 6P General] scoot0073:
Jus extract the radio from the zip..And flash the radio via TWRP
[Nexus 6P General] galaxys:
No, TWRP can not flash Radio images. Use fastboot commands....
[Nexus 6P General] scoot0073:
I meant Flash Image GUI app .. thanks for the correction
[Nexus 6P General] psychomaniac189:
i don't see where it says where that app supports the 6p on the playstore webpage.

[Nexus 6P General] scoot0073:
Trust me I get confused sometimes also with 1 computer flashing different firmwares n such...hahah
[Nexus 6P General] sirxdroid:
Different radio versions, depending on the carrier, in the full factory images:

7.1.1 (N4F26O, Feb 2017): radio-angler-angler-03.78.img

7.1.1 (NUF26K, Feb 2017, Verizon Only): radio-angler-angler-03.79.img

From the January update I'm on the 03.79 radio and on T-Mobile. It seems to work OK, should I downgrade the radio to 03.78 instead?
[Nexus 6P General] psychomaniac189:
I'm wondering the same thing too but I still get service at work and vzw has the worst service at work. But I'm on straighttalk att :confused:
[Nexus 6P General] martinomac:
I'm in the same boat, except on Rogers network using 3.79 modem which seems to be working fine though. Should I be on 3.78 since I'm not Verizon? I was always under the impression that the newest modem should be used for best efficiency. I could be wrong, please advise.
[Nexus 6P General] sirxdroid:
I switched back to 3.78 that came with N4F26O, Feb 2017 non-Verizon. If Google says 3.79 is Verizon only there must be a reason for it or they'd just have a single radio file if it worked well with any carrier.
[Nexus 6P General] martinomac:
Cool, do you see any sound/voice or cell signal strength difference on 3.78 compared to 3.79? I will most likely go back as well but can't quite yet as I'm away from computer and can't fastboot.
[Nexus 6P General] sirxdroid:
They feel the same to me at my home & work locations. It may depend on what bands are available in your area, roaming, etc. It's easy enough to flash a radio.
[Nexus 6P General] Howie Dub:
does anyone have a copy of the NPF10C radio? The one in the OP is dead.

Currently on NRD90M 3.72 and want to see if 3.75 is stable for me. I've been having issues with 3.78 and 3.79 where the radio completely drops and then cycles back on, most noticeable when I'm streaming video on LTE. I'm also missing calls, which is annoying, and I can't figure out why that's happening. I'm on T-Mobile. Is anyone else having the same issue?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P General] psychomaniac189:
I went from 3.79 to 3.78 and I noticed better battery with the 3.78. I'm on straighttalk (att). I am really thinking about switching to vzw prepaid and if I do I'll try 3.79 right away.
[Nexus 6P General] Phazmos:
Also on straighttalk, also noticed slightly better battery with 3.78. Not much, but noticeable.
[Nexus 6P General] jarredduq:
I'm having the same issue as well on T-Mobile with the 3.78 and 3.79 radio.
[Nexus 6P General] sebby d:

[Nexus 6P General] chowae:
I'm having the same issue here in Canada with Telus and 3.78. I was wondering if any of you tried 3.75 with success? The random drop and cycle ons are getting pretty annoying.

Howie, is 3.72 stable for you?
[Nexus 6P General] jarredduq:
Went back to 3.75 and seems to be more stable with T-mobile.
[Nexus 6P General] EXV:
Happen to have a working link? My service keeps dropping every so often and sometimes MMS isn't sent until a reboot.

[Nexus 5X General] Psychofrantics:
It will not brick anything guys. Bootloader and radio are indeoendent of os
[Nexus 5X General] sfhub:
I agree it is doubtful one would brick their phone, but bootloader and radio are not necessarily independent of OS.

Most of the time they are interchangeable, but sometimes not.

[Nexus 5X General] sfhub:
I think you'd want to flash vendor separately from bootloader/radio otherwise you are tying the bootloader radio to a particular release which seem counter to the purpose of this thread.

[Nexus 5X General] SlimSnoopOS:

[Nexus 5X General] SlimSnoopOS:
No, "m8994f" is the radio's name on Marshmallow as well. That may just be how its internally recognized in the system.

[Nexus 5X General] Meandi51:
Midomad, can you answer my question, please?
[Nexus 5X General] Midomad:
I don't think so!

You can update whatever bootloader or radio you want.

But i suggest you to update to a nougat based rom!
[Nexus 5X General] Meandi51:
So you mean just right before flashing a N Rom?
[Nexus 5X General] Midomad:
Orther Doesn't matter!
[Nexus 5X General] Meandi51:

[Nexus 5X General] Midomad:
Yes but it's better to use the appropriate one ;)
[Nexus 5X General] gagp2p:
[MENTION=7495997]Meandi51[/MENTION] don't be afraid, you can flash latest radio & bootloader and use an older rom,. like 6.0.1 or even 5.1.1 - newer bootloader / radio doesnt force you to upgrade to Nougat.

sorry for my english
[Nexus 5X General] tupac4u:
No, just flash zip
[Nexus 5X General] Meandi51:
Did the same process you plan to do recently. The BL and modem are independent. You can do anything before going ahead with next step of flashing N Rom.

Regarding the order of flashing the required vendor, as I know it is just important to have done before first boot with new rom. My order was...

1. ROM

2. GAPPS

3. VENDOR

4. SUPERSU

Good luck ;)
[Nexus 5X General] matthew_74:
first, sorry for my poor english,

i installed the zip file (phone is nexus 5x - build NMF26F - only root and nougat stock version) and in the settings i can see the band base information - M8994F-2.6.36.2.20.

Now the question is: how i can listen to the radio? :confused:

Need to install an application or i found something in the phone? :(

Tks for your answers and soz for my noob question
[Nexus 5X General] SlimSnoopOS:
This thread is about the cellular radio that allows you to connect the phone to your carrier network for phone calls and data. This is not about AM/FM radio. Download an app for AM/FM radio.
[Nexus 5X General] Meandi51:
haha... in the beginning, that was also confusing for me :D

radio = modem = band base....

but has 5x FM transmitter?
[Nexus 5X General] SlimSnoopOS:
No, I don't believe the 5X has an fm transmitter. I haven't seen it mentioned on the Google Play listing or other websites.

My wife's nexus 5x has wi-fi problems ever since upgrading to Android 7.x. In this thread it's clear that you can use latest radio on Android 6, but is it possible to use Android 6 radio on Android 7? Also is wi-fi related to radio? Is there a chance to fix it?
[Nexus 5X General] zurik:
No, Radio for 6.0.1 is for 6.0.1 and the radio for 7.1.1 is for 7.1.1 (I THINK).
[Nexus 5X General] :
From my understanding you can use any radio you want regardless of Android version you're on, It's a radio... I'm on 7.1.1 and wifi has been fine though. Try it and see just make sure you have old radio on standby and a way to install it again if the older one is not as good. (Fastboot...) Let us know. I'm curious. :)

PS: I'd leave bootloader alone though and just extract old radio from Google factory image .....

Is it compatible wuth latest beta 7.1.2?
[Nexus 5X General] crazyates:
I first rooted my phone back when I was using MM. I kept it on stock ROM, so whenever monthly updates would come out, I would fastboot flash vendor boot and system from my laptop, and then flash supersu and kernel from TWRP.

When 7.0 came out, I updated my TWRP, did the fastboot flash, TWRP flash, wipe cache/dalvik, and then rebooted. Worked fine. Then I continued to do the monthly updates the same way I had been on MM, manually fastboot flashing system boot & vendor. I've never touched my radio...

I recently wiped my phone and started fresh on Pure Nexus ROM. My vendor is fine, but I just realized I'm running a radio img from Mar '16, M8994F-2.6.31.1.06 to be exact, well before I upgraded to Nougat! I'm going to flash the new one now, so thanks for this thread!

TL;DR Yes, you can use a MM radio on a Nougat ROM.
