Okay guys...I need some help with this. Here is the quick version.
-Received my new white (GRI40) 9020a for ATT
-Rooted and installed NSCollab 1.0.19
-HSDPA Speeds were terrible (i.e. 1400kb/s down and ~700kb/s up)
-Flashed the new KB3 radio --speeds worse than before (i.e. 150kb/s down & up)
-Flashed back to KB1 radio --speeds fluctuate from ~150kb/s down to 500kb/s down)
-Have to use the phone on WiFi to get anything done because the cellular speeds are so terrible. What gives?
**Speeds are from dslreports.com and speedtest.net app**
Try using deodexed with voodoo root. The radio and rom opened up the limits I had with the stock radio on att with my 9020a. I tried cm7-rc3 and it was stuck on the logo boot. I know others have had success. I will warn you everything works but for some reason when I install angry birds or 1password it won't install and it reboots my device. Most other apps are fine. Take my advice at will this is my first android and rooting experience.

Well, here goes.
I've been reading alot for quite a while, and learning everything I could around this place. Thanks to tall who contribute.
I'm running NScollab, 1.0.42, with matrix 8.0 kernel.
Currently on the XXKB3 baseband.
Following this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
I tried flashing the new KF1 radio for the nexus S. No luck. Either is doesn't flash at all ( status 6 error ) or when it does ( the signed version can be flashed in CWM ) no signal whatsoever. I've tried everything, changing the band, ( *#*#4636#*#* ) rebooting 45 times, dalvik wipe, changing type of radio, all guides, searched google, this website ( for a whole week ).
Nothing came up.
I'm posting, because this is pretty much last resort. I actually tried the KF1 radio on Miui, devnull, oxygen, and NScollab.
Telus users out there, what is your baseband ? What radio gives you the best signal and performance ? I know koodo switched to KF1, but I can't get it to work on my NS.
Any help is appreciated !
still noone ?
Darn.

I use KB3 for koodo(telus). I get signal... and it works.
I'm curious as to whether KF1 would be a better radio for us, or if it even works for Telus/Koodo. Anybody know?

I have a Telus Nexus S in BC and I just installed an OTA update to 2.3.6 / GRK39F / I9020AUCKF1 and the KF1 radio seems to be working fine. I've been able to call around and MMS without issues so far. (about 2 hrs) Not enough time spent with it to tell you if it gets better reception or not...
I acutally installed the OTA pacakage in order to go back to stock as I was getting sick of the Search Bug that has been plaguing my phone for ages and I was going to bring it back for warranty work, but it appears the flash of the radio to KF1 that was included in the package has resolved the Search Bug!
Sweet! So, I might stick with this for a bit to confirm it is gone and and if all is well, I guess there's no need to return the phone for service!
I have the same issue on koodo. Flashed ICS and I get reception with KF1 downtown but barely anything at home and it used to be great.
I'm running the UCKF1 radio on my telus NS, on cm9 + matrix 14.5. With my phone, it was impossible to flash the radio with CWM, it would flash, but could not get on the network. I had to use fastboot to flash the radio.
In my experience, XXKB3 and XXKD1 were definitely the fastest radios (no upload cap), but my connection was unstable, needing occasional reboots to reestablish connection if I ever lost reception. UCKF1 has been rock solid for me. (I'm in the Toronto area)
Also, for some reason I only started getting the search bug with ICS and XXKD1, but UCKF1 fixed that.

Hi,
I have a Nexus S I9020T and I have ICS 4.0.3 (rooted) with KI1 radio. Ever since I upgraded to 4.0.3 I've had really terrible 3G speeds (Like, 5-10kb down) I tried the KB3 and KF1 radios without any success. Weird thing though, I just made a nandroid backup and wiped the device to factory settings and speed increased to what I had before ICS. Then I restored the backup (because I forgot to take a Titanium backup) and wiped it again but the speed didn't return. So I flashed a 2.3.4 stock rom and flashed 4.0.3 stock again and for a few minutes I had really crazy speeds. Faster than I've ever seen on this phone. But then I rebooted the phone and back to speeds that make dial-up seem fast. Any ideas what might be wrong? Also can someone please provide me with a link to a KI1 radio download?
I'm on Airtel in India.
Im on Seans SKY ICS. The latest leak. Its a great ROM. Mainly for me because everything seems to work properly with almost no FCs. My only problem with the rom is the modem/radio that came with it. I have terrible signal where I live. But after I installed everything, I litterally have to stand at the door/window to make/recieve phone calls. Some have reported good signal with the new radio, but not me. Everyone seems to report slower data speeds. So I decided to flash UCLD2 and see if it would help any at all. But no matter what I do the bandbase always says "unknown". Is it compatible with the new rom? I came from 2.3.6 with UCLA3. Now signal still sucked, but nowhere near as bad as UCLE2 that came with the leak. My steps were:
Reboot to recovery.
wipe cache
wipe D. cache
flash radio
reboot
fix permissions in rom manager
reboot to recovery again
fix permissions in advanced.
reboot system.
Ive done this 3 times....still refuses to work. What am I diong wrong?
Also, can I flash UCLA3 that came from gingerbread 2.3.6?
How about you try this: flash the new ucle rom from mohan his ics rom is compatible with a wide range of radios, go through each one one at a time until signal is sufficient for you maybe one will give you way better reception
So your saying maybe its the ROM that wont let me install UCLD2?
Hey everyone!
Been lurking for months here and finally got the guts to try myself at installing a new ROM.
I have an LG G2X with Videotron here in Quebec Canada, we are stuck on Froyo and it will never get upgraded. :/
I rooted it without issues!
I also flashed CWM 5.0.2.8
I have backed up my stock ROM to SD Card.
I have installed the following ROM's with issues.
aokp_p999_build-37
won't boot, stays at LG logo
BionixReloaded_v1.4.1_FINAL
It runs. No 4G, Wifi connects and disconnects in a loop.
update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-p999-signed
Does not boot, stays at CM screen
update-cm-7.1.0-G2x-signed
It runs. No 4G, Wifi connects and disconnects in a loop.
Bionix2-TheLegacyContinues-RC1 with Bionix2-RC1-Patch
It runs. No 4G, Wifi connects and disconnects in a loop. I had 4G work in this ROM for a bit then it stopped.
Steps I have done from CWM
Wipe phone
Wipe Cache
Wipe Davik cache (or something like that!)
Formated System
Installed ROM from ZIP
reset permissions
I also backed up my APN settings from my stock rom and added into the packaged ROMS and still no go. The APN settings for Videotron were in them already. Phone portion works and SMS also, it does say Videotron when connected with cell antenna..
I know some people on Videotron have done it in the past and the only issues were with PAN settings which seem to have been added in newer ROMs.
I have searched endlessly and now I'm at a point where I can't see straight! lol
Any ideas would really be appreciated.
Marc
Ah man nevermind! lol I was tired and figured it out while driving back from work!
Thanks anyway!
Can you post your solution in case other people have the problem?

No probs!
In most cases I was just installing an update so I'm guessing that the ROM was partially running as I had not installed the base ROM and then the updates. But some of the full ROM's listed would not get passed the splash screens...
Now I have EaglesBlood™ Ice Cream Sandwich [AOSP 4.0.4] and it's running with minimal issues!
My Wifi and 4G are running without issues!
I've had a few EBLauncher crashes that required a battery pull...
The Voicemail notification does not work with this ROM for me...
EDIT: GMail does not Sync, I need to deactivate and reactivate Sync for it to work for 1 time only... Have to do this everytime I wan't to know if I have emails...
So far, no other issues. I will try to search for the issues I am experiencing now and see what I can fine. Could not find anything on the voicemail notification issue.
I have a Samsung Infuse 4G on T-Mobile unlimited prepaid plan. I rooted the phone back when I had AT&T so I could test it on my girlfriend's T-Mobile plan just to make sure it worked.
Since then I've installed 2 custom ROMs - Darky's 10.4 and ZEUS Build 6. When on Darky's, I could get wi-fi calling using asianbobo's MOD, but ran into a lot of issues. Mainly I lost Bluetooth and wi-fi became spotty, plus Darky's sucked my battery dry in less than a day with minimal usage.
So after reading several forums and developing a plan of action, I used Odin 1.7 to go back to stock, re-rooted with SuperOneClick, then used Odin 1.7 again to install the Odin Cummunity Kernel so I could get beyond the CWM 3e recovery issue I was having (apparently the latest CWM or the latest SuperOneClick cause issues with using the old replacement 3e recovery method for enabling unsigned ROM installation, so I needed one that had the CWM update pre-set).
So where I am now is running ZEUS Build 6 with all the apps I previously had installed. I still have to restore a few things (like importing settings and such for certain apps), but I'm happy thus far with my choice. However, I would like to get Wi-fi calling back. I have the asianbobo MODs still - the Darky one, the ZEUS one, and the AnyRom one. However, before I proceed, I'd like to know if the ZEUS MOD will work with Build 6 (says it's for ZEUS Build 5 but I'm wondering if anyone has tried it on Build 6 or if it's just safer to use the AnyRom and modify the build.prop instead).
Any help with this, or any feedback from anyone who has tried this, would be much appreciated.
For anyone in the US having wi-fi issues with ZEUS, try flashing the CWM-UCKL2 modem found here.
Saved me from wanting to throw my phone.
