Original twrp works fine too but [MENTION=7296006]Kutep0v[/MENTION] 's recovery is much better,check out his thread for more information.
[ONE General] Miso78:
Which is the best radio modem for Lineage 14.1? Thanks a lot
[ONE General] Mr.Ak:
You'll have to flash and see which one is best for you.
[ONE General] 69gm:
There is no "best". Too many factors, such as hardware and geographic location, to make such a claim. It might take some time to experiment, but it might be worth it. Also, don't expect drastic changes. A lot of them work fine, especially outdoors. Maybe go to a location where you've always had no/weak signal and do your experimenting there?
[ONE General] DCvan:
Thanks [MENTION=6363737]Gawd[/MENTION] for putting this awesome thread together and all members feedback.

Nitrogen OS 7.2.1, flash "bacon_firmware_update_2015_05-15_DI.3.0.c6-00241.zip" this solved my no cellular reception at my work place.

Bro best firmware for INDIA ?

I am using BSNL 3G.
[ONE General] Mr.Ak:
What can I tell you,you're an expert since 2009 :)
[ONE General] amitexpert2009:
:p:p

please tell, I am getting very bad internet speed and it keeps dis connecting automatically.
[ONE General] Mr.Ak:
Blame BCNL.I'd suggest change your Carrier. I always had issues with BCNL 3G regardless of the firmware. Now I just use it in Dongle because of cheap internet plans.
[ONE General] Ratheesh6:
Poor reception for Airtel 4G, Bangalore, India. To an extend that 3G gets better speed than 4G.

Especially in office. In home at least manageable. Being on the latest firware_fixed modem.

Anyone have any luck nearby with any other firmware?
[ONE General] Timmmmaaahh!:
Oh my Gawd, [MENTION=6363737]unixf[/MENTION], you changed your name??? :eek:

Anyway, before anyone asks, I do have an on topic matter!

I did some testing with several firmware/modem zips included in the main zip and these are my most interesting findings:

bacon_firmware_update_2015_12-30_.4.0.1.c7-00011 (second time)

Oddly, this one came out for me the best in this test but when I flashed it again, it exposed the same behavior as with the 2015 C7-00013 zip (test #3). Instead of letting it reboot to recovery, I forced the device to shutdown (after waiting about 8 minutes), rebooted normally and it worked without changing anything.

I performed these tests 5 days ago with Network Cell Info Lite and noted the first six results. I'm still using the 2015 c7-00011. The tests were performed in an area inside where I rarely have any data connection. Other people on different providers do have a solid connection there so I'll have to blame my provider for the lack of coverage.

Why did it freeze? Was there something wrong with my sequence order? I picked them out semi-randomly.
[ONE General] LLStarks:
That's good data.

I'm using 0.1.c1.11-00006 (firmware fixed), maybe I should switch.
[ONE General] r0tati0n:
Could you test the Find7 firmware too?

It works on the Oneplus One too...
[ONE General] Timmmmaaahh!:
Whatever I test, the results may still come out quite different in your (or any else's) case. I was just wondering why it can cause a bootfreeze and when rebooting again it launches like normal...?

Sizzled with Bacon ?
[ONE General] r0tati0n:
I did some tests with this app too (not all radios you did) and for me this was a bit better than the others:

bacon_firmware_update_2015_12-30_.4.0.1.c7-00011

Same as your tests
[ONE General] v1ks:
wonder if someone can help me with this issue....sorry for the long post but ive tried few things but haven't got far....

so recently i been switching between CM13 and N roms, have tried various and i end up back on Sultan's CM13 rom. in my work office i dont get very good signal just enough to get a call through at most times so i decided to try out different modems and found that firmware_fixed was a good bet for me, with this i got slightly better signal and managed to get sms/call come through ok.

Then recently i switched to a N rom and started having issues where by network cell lite app shows i have LTE (-113-115) and when i try to make a call it would say dialing and the call would just sit on that screen and then after a while just end the call. So i then moved away into a better area and still same issue. I even went out of the building but that did not help, so went to the network provider and got the sim card changed thinking may be something wrong with the sim.

Then i thought may be its something to do with the ROM so went back to CM13 with stock modem (241) but was still getting similar issues, where are people would call me and at their end my phone would be switched off but when i look at my phone i would show i have coverage. This happens whilst i was at work and home, where on the odd occasion i would get a call but people could not hear me properly. I tried different modems yet again but couldn't find the one that was working well.

During the above i did change TWRP from 2.8.7 to Tuga power one 3.1.1.5 - not sure if this had anything to do with it...

So i decided to revert back to OxygenOS with clean flash (wiped everything) to stock see if this helped but still same issue, it improved in terms of i was able to make the odd call and get calls from others but then randomly i would not be able to call even in the open, and the phone would show dialing but it would not actually make the call or when i did manage to make a call people wont be able to hear me very well.

I am now back on CM13 with the the modem .4.0.1.c7-00013 which has been somewhat ok but nowhere near what i use to have. I have also gone back to TWRP 2.8.7.0 because i thought may be 3.1.1.5 didnt handle modem flashing well.

I am wondering if anyone has similar issue or could suggest anything else i could try.

I am in the UK on EE network.
[ONE General] Mr.Ak:
Change your network provider?
[ONE General] v1ks:
I may have to at the current rate. Since my post I went back to twrp 2.8.6.0 and clean flashed everything again. Going to try test few firmware and see. My sincard on my spare Samsung S5 works OK, the signal at home and in my office is similar but I can call out and people can ring me when using my Samsung S5. On the one plus if I for e.g if call someone it will say dialling then call will end, then I hold on to 1 to call vm and it will connect fine. Then another time the network signal will be 0 bars and will get message "mobile network not available".

The issue is very odd, I even tried going I to phone service menu and ensuring the method is set to lte/GSM auto prl etc.

Will try another provider on the one plus and see how it goes too.
[ONE General] GIL0802:
Hi there!

I have my OPO with LOS 15 Beta ROM + Thunder Kernel and i'm having really bad mobile signal and wifi coverage, i think is the modem firmware. In this case and looking for the *working well* one for my case.

In the attachment i have my OPO model bands, my network bands on my country and a resume of my phone bands that should work well on those bands for my network carrier.

I'll love to read what you guys suggest which firmware to flash in order to have a little bit better signal.

Thanks in advance.

Modem Update

A great thread, thanks for the info. I do have a couple of questions/confirmations. So I understand that if I download the latest firmware/modem from here I can flash the lot via fastboot to upgrade as per the directions on the first post. I have DI.3.0.c6-00241, which seems to be pretty common but old (yes?) and I'm running the latest version of XenonHD on my OPO.

I don't seem to have many problems with the current firmware, though there has been some dropouts but all seems reasonable now. My question is, is there any real need to flash to the latest? Is there any security holes fixed or significant improvement in 4G performance/call quality? If there is really little improvement, then it's one less thing I'll do. If there is significant benefit (better call quality, etc), then I may give it a shot.

Opinions requested.
[ONE General] v1ks:
I contacted someone on ebay as iam thinking of replacing 3 parts on the device to see if this will fix the issue. This is the reply i got from the guy who is selling various one plus parts...you may want to try what he suggests before buying.

I am going to attempt checking the connection etc and then will buy if it doesnt work.

so the signal is dropping from 4-0 bars intermittently.

-first thing to replace is the Coaxial cable (which carry's signal), check both coaxial sockets and the ports on the board it connects to

-Second (like you said) Mic Flex, although it is a tough call between the lower speaker unit and the mic flex as they are equally as likley to be at fault)

the speaker unit contains the GSM Antenna, the Mic flex simply takes the Signal to the main board from the speaker Module.

both would be Ideal unless you have time. speaker unit is relatively cheap.

finally check for any lose connections or wear to any of the Gold inside the phone where it makes a connection, using some wet and dry sandpaper rub the Gold plates Very very lightly to reveal a shinny Gold, some on the mic flex, some on the speaker unit, some on the other flex's,

and finally tighten all screws properly, often the screws can work their way out, pulling the connections away from each other,

---------- Post added at 09:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

My advise would be if aint broke dont fix it. I think some of the newer modems do contains fixes for signal etc but what works one person doesnt always work for someone else, alot of the time it depends on the carrier your using and location you are in.

Best way to check is try each one for 24-48 hours and see what works best for you, you can always go back to 241 if the ones you try arent any better. e.g One of the first things you will notice is how quickly it connects to wifi when moving locations, ive seen some modems take a long time while others are fast.
[ONE General] Timmmmaaahh!:
There are no security improvements involved, don't worry about that. The only goal of flashing firmware is to fix connection issues or incompatibility problems with a specific ROM. There is absolutely no need to upgrade to a newer version if your current one is working properly. In fact, a newer version may perform worse.

However, as you stated that connection drops do occur, I would advise to create a modem backup in TWRP and try flashing another one. You're currently on the default one that came with CM13. I'd go for either 4.0.1.c7-00011 (2016), 4.0.1.c7-00013 (2016) or the Frankenstein release. If they don't work out for you, you can simply restore the backup or flash the original DI.3.0.c6-00241.

Ideally, one should flash every single firmware in this thread and test each one thoroughly but that really wouldn't be worth the effort. I've done some tests before (this post) and noticed only marginal differences. One test in one situation doesn't prove anything, of course.
[ONE General] twowheeler:
Your last point is very true, I seem to have the most reliable reception and connection on firmware_fixed.

A lot of the other firmwares give full reception but without actual good connection. So showing full bars while have very poor data speeds.

Wasn't h2os the last officially supported ROM for the oneplus one? And therefore the most recent and last? (Since it's the base for firmware_fixed
[ONE General] Mr.Ak:
I think the last official firmware was c7 from COS13.1.2.
[ONE General] twowheeler:
So c7, xxxxx11 I guess.

I thought cos was discontinued before the other Rom variants. Guess that's not the case

[ONE General] Timmmmaaahh!:
Eh.. Do you mean.. VoLTE? Because if you do.. I have some terrible news for you, my friend...
[ONE General] mkxda79:
Hmm. I thought they were similar in concept but different things. VoLTE still requires network, VoWiFi does not. The latter uses my internet connection. I have zero signal in some places.

My tmobile branded galaxy s3 had it in 2012 because tmobile had baked it in. Back then aosp did not have it. Now, it does.

That's why I used magisk to enable those options that are not exposed by lineage os. Both lte and wifi options are present.

What's the bad news?

Thanks.

[ONE General] Timmmmaaahh!:
That VoLTE can't be done but I confused it with what you actually meant. No idea then! Here in Belgium there isn't a single provider that has such functionality. Some have an app that allows making calls over Wi-Fi/Data but that works more like WhatsApp, Skype or Viber does.

Would this be helpful by any chance?
[ONE General] mkxda79:
Thanks. That link was what gave me hope though I was already on lineage os by the time I saw it. Those instructions didn't work so I used magisk etc. to achieve the same thing but can't get it to actually work. It fails while making a call. I'll try these firmwares later and report back if any of them work.
[ONE General] twowheeler:
Does anybody know what the effect is of changing things in the *#*#4636#*#* menu?

I was messing around a bit and pushed a few buttons, I recall that those settings go back to "normal" after a reboot, but i'd like some confirmation on that
[ONE General] Mr.Ak:
I use that menu a lot,actually.Because my carrier won't stay on Wcdma and automatically switches to Gsm because of low signals on wcdma sometimes i.e,wcdma is preferred, but it is not forced.So,I use the menu to change it to "Wcdma only",so that I be on 3G all the time(what ya' can do these days with 2G,anyway?).And yes,as you've already mentioned, things go back to normal after a reboot and you have to visit the menu again to change it to yer preferred settings.I hope this helps.:)

It does. Thanks!
[ONE General] Elder Lyons:
Hello guys, I'm having a huge issue with my mobile network.

For the past two weeks I've not been able to make use of my mobile network correctly, it sometimes works, but most of the time doesn't. The icon in my status bar shows there is activity, it's fully connected to 3G or LTE, even with full bars. But all my apps like Telegram, Pokémon go, Messenger and the likes are stuck "reconnecting" to the network, as if my phone doesn't have any reception at all. At some points even SMS messages refuse to send, even though I've got full reception.

I've already gotten my SIM card switched out, attempted multiple clean flashes and the issue still persists.

My current firmware: 0.1.c1.11-00006-M8974AAAAANAZM-1

Current ROM: idprophecy's unofficial optimized lineage-14.1-20180413-UNOFFICIAL-bacon

Current Recovery: Kutep0v TWRP 3.2.1-K2

Is there anything I can do? I'm getting really desperate.
[ONE General] olygopoly:
Hi guys. just wondering does using the latest firmware would improve my GPS navigation. Currently my Oneplus one does not navigate. it only shows the dot and it is moving but no giving navigation instruction as usual.

Any modems for Oreo?
[ONE General] Blackov:
Hey,

So I too have problems with my radio and I would like to fix this.

But I read this:

So I would like to know which firmware I can use without bricking my phone. Or absolutely shouldn't use.

Currently:

Android 7.1.2

LineageOS 14.1 (23/05/2018)

Also thinking of updating to Oreo 8.1 and LOS 15.1 in the 'near' future.

So I also would like to know which firmwares I could try then.

Thanks in advance!

[ONE General] Timmmmaaahh!:
Heya!

You've read correctly, [MENTION=9178985]Blackov[/MENTION], but don't worry, we're not talking about a hard-brick here. Firmware induced bricks are, despite the subject, very manageable and non-destructive. Well, I should probably add a "in most cases" disclaimer. Sometimes a flash just goes terribly wrong but that can even happen when flashing an innocent Magisk module so backups are always advised!

Firmware often gets confused with kernel. Kernels need to be compatible with your ROM or the iteration of Android its based upon. Firmware is completely independant and has no effect on how the OS works. They are merely modem drivers that have only one purpose: making calls and texts work. Since there are so many different technologies and frequencies around the globe, one firmware driver will work better than the other for you so it's a matter of finding the best one for you. Saying "Firmware X goes best with Android Y" is an invalid statement so the concerns the both of you are having about Android Oreo are irrelevant.

It does slightly work the other way around though; one ROM will make better use of Firmware X opposed to Firmware Y but that as well will be different from device to device.

In my experience, you can safely flash different versions of firmware dozens of times without bricking anything. It sometimes happens that it hangs during the boot logo (scary!), in that case the device will automatically reboot to recovery after a while. When booted in recovery, just boot straight back to system and it should work just fine.

If you'd feel better sticking with more mainstream firmware releases, this might be a more interesting thread.
[ONE General] Blackov:
Ok thanks!

So basically I download the zip, extract one firmware at a time and try it out for a week or so?
[ONE General] Timmmmaaahh!:
Sounds like a plan! Perhaps make that a day instead of a week or you'll be at it all summer =)
[ONE General] Blackov:
Ok, will try for a day :)

Which one are you using? Since I am too from Belgium, it would seem like a good one to try first :)
[ONE General] Timmmmaaahh!:
Oh cool, what part? Clever thinking there. I'm using [MENTION=4931057]mr.shme[/MENTION]'s Frankenstein Release, I believe. I'm not entirely sure as I've flashed so many of them, lol.
[ONE General] Blackov:
Ok, thanks

At the moment I live in Lochristi.
[ONE General] evronetwork:
well radio numbering is a mess, some older numbers are actually newer radios :P I'm using this for ages(check sig) ..no issues, I'm happy
[ONE General] Blackov:
So...

I've been flashing a bit and had some 'meh'-success... Found one which gave me no red reception... So thats... better... Still yellow though...

But, now I've come across a firmware which scared me a bit. Suddenly my phone didn't see my sim-card, had no wifi and to make things better wouldn't boot into recovery to flash new firmware...

And if the phone was on for a while it would reboot if I wasn't using it for a while. When the phone was off, it would start itself up after a while, so yea... not a good firmware.

Got to boot it in recovery eventually. New firmware... same problem... so i'm still trying to find the right firmware...

cheers!

Hi guys,

I read the entire OP and I'm still unsure which modem/firmware to flash.

I currently flashed this ROM: https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-unofficial-optimized-lineageos-14-1-t3693223/

any suggestions?
[ONE General] DCvan:
On the OP updated zip, inside are all firmware for 1+1 gather together by [MENTION=6363737]Gawd[/MENTION]

The one work best for me" bacon_firmware_update_2015_05-15_DI.3.0.c6-00241" but might not be for you. All depend on the country service provider network.

Trial and error, flash each one and test it out which work best.

Do backup before testing, good luck.
[ONE General] gil80:
Thanks.

So I can flash just the modem, correct? I don't need to flash the firmware?

I'm just getting lots of Bluetooth disconnections.
[ONE General] DCvan:
Bluetooth, I'm not sure. It might be ROM related.

The link mentioned for me help fixed my phone reception coverage.
[ONE General] gil80:
Thanks, mate! by the way, how can I tell which firmware and modem I have currently installed?
[ONE General] DCvan:
Go to settings/system/about phone/Android version (that's where my info locate on Pie) and look for baseband version that's the firmware for your phone.
[ONE General] gil80:
Found it. It shows: .4.0.1c7-00011-M8974AAAAANAZM-1

So if I want to change that, I only need to flash the modem file and not the entire firmware, correct? I'm afraid to brick the phone :)
[ONE General] DCvan:
It's best you do a backup in TWRP, there's always a chance it won't boot correct.

When you unzip the main zip file (611 MB), inside contain multiple version.

Myself have tried about 4 and found one that it work for me.

Also read the OP, it have good detail of each firmware.

I flash the sub zip (individual zip inside the main zip).
[ONE General] aplomb:
I am not able to see network type Lte/GSM prl (auto) option in phone information. Does it have to do with some firmware? If so can u point out which firmware has that?

I tried a few, but could not find it in those. Thanks.
