How to create radio file?
We need
- full SBF file of firmware 350mb or 150mb in rar.
- programm MotoAndroidDepacker.zip
1) unpack SBF by MotoAndroidDepacker. unpacked file will go to the "name of sbf-extracted"
2) in the folder must be only CG45.smg (radio file) and two files firmware.hmg, RAMDLD.smg - this files need to create sbf
3) create SBF by MotoAndroidDepacker. file will be in "name sbf-extracted"/rebuilt
baseband is locate in \system\etc\motorola\bp_nvm_default
smg function we can see in MotoAndroidDepacker in the second insert "SBF", and then go http://and-developers.com/partitions:cdt

I dont get it. Not the instructions but the whole deal. English is not my native language and neither is his. Walter79 could you tell me what is this?

ACHTUNG!!! This **** can drive you to restoring backup, so make backup now!!!
This is all about radio module firmware(thing that responsible for cell network services), so after update it is likely that power consumption and stability(in terms of cell signal handling) would be better, but that is not guaranteed
These radio fw-s are in standard .sbf files, thus need to be flashed with vanilla flashing tool(RSDLite). Displayed radio version will not change because it is written somewhere else.

Worth noting that all versions after 4.5.1-134_DFP-74 has version 60 and radio version of 139 equals one in 132
How to get radio SBF from full SBF:
1) Extract SBF with MotoAndroidDepacker.
2) Delete all files except of CG45.smg (radio fw), firmware.hmg and RAMDLD.smg - last two is essential to make new sbf.
3) Assemble new SBF with MotoAndroidDepacker.
4) ??? (flash it!)
5) PROFIT!11
How to get/backup baseband settings:
Target files located in \system\etc\motorola\bp_nvm_default, so we need to get them from nandroid backup, also we can do this via adb, or root explorer...
To update baseband settings just replace files in folder \system\etc\motorola\bp_nvm_default of your device with previously acquired ones, this can be done manually or with CWM help.
With CWM it goes like this:
1) open View attachment baseband139.zip with some modern archivator
2) go to \system\etc\motorola\bp_nvm_default in archive
3) replace all files with other ones
4) ??? (install via CWM, dammit)
5) PROFIT!11
PS: Just translated from original and added some explanations.

um.... what's the different this method with baseband switcher?

i think baseband switcher is more simple and risk free.

Has anybody tested this new version? Any noticeable changes?

Okay, now I'm trying this method..
Just because I feel 3G connection caused somewhat unreasonable battery drain here..
Maybe radio files I'm using in was not suitable with area I lived in all this time.
Even after I'm changed baseband, baseband only affect the signal reception.
Hope this works.
Steps:
-Depack my regional SBF
-Delete all SMG's except CG45
-Repack SBF
-Flash the SBF
-Use same baseband as that SBF
is that right?

i don't know this is just placebo effect or not.
but it seems my battery much better now..

Well, I've just tried the sbf method with 4.5.3-109-DPP-14-Retail_China sbf (one of the -if not the- newest Defy+ sbf) and once flashed with RSD and rebooted, all the files under \system\etc\motorola\bp_nvm_default are identical as they were before [same file size and date].
So is it that my flashing didn't work or is it what you guys meant by "After install version radio will not changed, this version cantain's in another file"?
The baseband139.zip from d'H -for sure- changes those files [there's even one less if I remember correctly].
Since I've done it [2 hours to download the sbf..], I'm attaching the file; but like I said, I'm not sure if it works really...tbd
** This is NOT a CWM patch - the sbf has to be extracted then flashed with RSD **

I created a radio SBF from my stock froyo and flashed it over CM9. My GSM indicator turned blue almost instantaneously, where I previously battled like crazy to get a GSM data connection from home.
Thanks for sharing

Does anyone have an idea if it might help against the connection bug if I flash a radio + baseband settings from an official sbf?
BTW: how do I get hands on the baseband settings from an sbf?
thx

Hi, I live in Colombia. When I try to change frequencies with cyanogen baseband settings, the phone loses signal. I tried with basebandswitcher also, but didn't work, they didn't change frequencies and the phone lost signal. Do you know why? or what method can I use?
I have a Defy+ with cm9:
CM9-NIGHTLY-120516-Defy+.zip (Epsylon3 version)
With cm7 occurs the same.
The cellphone settings box says: WCDMA 900/2100 but i am trying to change it to 850/1900 (Colombia setting). Motorola Defy+ is QuadBand in HSDPA, right?

Could anyone explaine How do this work?

No you wont have to update the rom, gapps, kernel or any other mods you may have. Updating your radio will change your baseband. I was on the same radio you were until I changed my radio to the Verizon desire radio because it gives me better service for sure. I didnt do mine thru clockwork so i dont know how that works I just got the update zip and flashed it in recovery. Be careful using diff methods or zips to flash radios one bad one and u got a brick. Good luck

Unless you are using firerats custom partitions. Then it isn't so easy as flash and go, but still not hard to do.

Takes about 30 minutes if your using firerats mod, but even then you still dont lose anything.
I flashed baseband 2.42.01.04.27 and still not getting much improved reception in a fringe area (my home). Common to get around -98 to -100 db.
Any suggestions for other radios that might work better on the weak end?

Hey I had a question about that. By flashing the Verizon radio won't that be considered like Roaming because you're not using Sprint Towers??? Also how is the improvement in say signal strength and data?
Just wondering cause i'd like to improve my phone signal.

yea i wanna know about using verizon towers too... especially for 3g...wasnt there some hack besides flashing radio?

I loaded the latest radio and the numerical signal is about the same but the phone displays two bars once in awhile which never showed before from the same fringe location. Will need more time talking on the phone before deciding if there is any marked audible quality improvement.
The -xx dmb readout and the graphic bar display do not seem to be in synch anyway. It can show -95 dbm and then only one bar while other times I have seen it at -98dbm and showing two bars, so really not sure which is more reliable.

Hi,
I have run Recuva over my file system. I could not recover the sbf, but the file name, modified time and size were found.
They match perfectly the file I downloaded from mpieq.

Was on early 2.2.1 - wanted to upgrade in case of warranty issues.
Flashed with RSD Lite. New Red Motorola logo with white rings when phone starts, but had to pull battery and re-boot manually.
Phone is upgraded with all contacts, settings etc as before.
Just had to root phone with superoneclick to get Titanium back-up and SetVSL running.

You're luck. After upgrade mine boot up but with all settings and apps restored, however it after rooting it wasn't stable. Got to do factory reset and... for a first time used TiBu to restore my apps - works flawlessly . The only issue was the lack of Polish Swype (got it with Eclair) but used the one from CEE ROM and it works flawlessly.
mine simply has lost his Haptic Feedback... it must be restarted to gain his capabilities restored. is losing also his WiFi (with error message in wifi and network settings) and the data connection...
any ideas? could be from the JuiceDefender wrong resources management?
I am on motorola defy with formware version 2.51.1. If I upgrade to this will I lose my root, if I lose root can this be rooted by SuperOneClick.
Does it have blur is without Blur, I ma looking for something without Blur.

This ROM is blurred. I flashed it over 2.2.1 (the UK 3.4.3-11 ROM), which I had previously successfully rooted via SOC (in fact, an older version, from months ago), but, as, at first, for strict test purposes, I decided not to wipe anything at all after flashing this ROM, the root condition (just like all my applications and settings) was kept as it was before. My Defy is in this very state ever since.
By the way, I haven't noticed differences between the two ROMs.
Just my 2 cents...
Regards,
Carlos
i have installed the full sbf
no problems with haptic feedback.
all looks fine and smooth..blur is also working nice ..even you can skip the setup.
just the 3g gets stucks up when the phone is idle..(the "H" is shown but the arrows ↑↓ are greyed out ..i have to reconfigure the apn and set it again to get it working.
Guys ne thoughts on this 3g problem..?? i have used defy baseband to switch my baseband for india.
EDIT :: solved the problems....i think this is problem free blur rom so far ...!! kudos to motorola uk..!!
note :: i didnt download from any links given here..i had some other source.
Their is some problem with the link? I have tried to download 3 times, but corrupt file...
If I wanted to go from the Korean 177 base sbf with cm7 rc1 installed to this what would be the procedure? Is it as simple as doing it through rsdlite or through the 2nd init recovery?

Flashed new custom ICS and Kernel -- No Data/3G?

Hi everyone,
I'm a brand new Nexus S convert on the AT&T network. I've been using a Nexus One for about a year, but I finally got the dreaded power button failure, so I thought it was time to "upgrade".
Anyways, I just got the phone tonight, so I wiped everything, flashed the newest AT&T radio (KF1), then flashed NexusBeam 4.1.0 (custom 4.0.3 ICS), then flashed GLaDos v2.2. This was all done via CWM 5.0.x
After putting in the SIM and turning on the phone, I noticed that I did not get ANY signal for a while. The network status in the settings did not find anything. After about 3 minutes, I finally got EDGE. However, still no 3G.
I looked up the default APN settings for AT&T but it did not help. I also tried flashing another custom kernel (Matrix), but my phone wasn't happy with it (stuck on Google logo).
What could be the culprit here?
P.S. Yes, I made sure the Nexus S is indeed the AT&T model (I-9020a).
Edit:
Even though I have flashed the proper radio, the ROM reverts it to the incorrect version. For example, I've flashed KF1 radio, but the ROM somehow "overwrites" it to the KI1 radio, which is not recommended for AT&T/I-9020a. The baseband also says NO DGSXXKI1.
after flashing the rom flash your correct radio.
You probably clicked KI1 by accident rather then KF1... I'm using KB3 and its really good. Soooo flash the UCKD1 radio first for AT&T... then download Root explorer if u don't already have it
Using root explorer go into EFS file and move the following into root of SD:
Nv.log
Nv_data.bin
Nv_data.bin.md5
Once those files are moved just reboot and u should have your 3G back... then u can flash the radio u want

No Baseband Version?

I flashed NexusBeam ROM yesterday and the radio it came with did not work on my device i9020a on the Rogers Network. If im correct my baseband should read i9020auckd1. I manged to get the phone working again with the KB3 Radio... but no luck flashing the UCKD1 Radio (bad file maybe?). So now in settings Baseband Version reads "NO DGSXXKB3"... is this even a problem?
Any insight would be helpful. Thanks guys.
devs shouldn't include radio in their roms for this very reason regardless
Leave it up to end user to update
Try flashing the radio image threw fastboot and not CWR
You can extract the radio baseband image from the zip file
U get a signal?
Both the KB1 and KB3 radios display as that on 9020a. I have ran kb3 for a long time without any problems.

this is not your base band This is INFINEON stuff.. go to market place and take GetRIL
Install. Run, See your base band version.
You can also isntall from there the recommended RIL for your configuration. Wait a minute (do not exit the program). if you do not have still signal - then RESTORE RIL back from the program (the program make a backup of you RIL when you install new one)
I've tried that getril and it said baseband matched but still no imei number once I've installed a custom/stock Rom. Looks like ill have to keep the orange Rom
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium
IMO getril is pretty useless and most of the time you're better off when they don't match.
Why are you uncomfortable flashing a baseband? Its not as simple as a zip and can be a pain but once you get it, you have so many more options.
