I just flashed the radio and have 2.11.605.5 on my Thunderbolt. I flashed the CDMA and LTE files as well (found it here and was told it was the same as the 2.11.605.3 files). Everything works great on this phone now (using Thunderstick ROM) but I'm having difficulty with the 3G and LTE modes. 3G doesn't seem to work at all and LTE is very slow (about 2Mbps max).
Prior to flashing the radio (to MR4) and using this custom ROM, I was using MR2 and my speeds were hitting 40Mbps+.
I thought I almost bricked my phone this past weekend but thankfully found that downgrade to 2.11.605.5. Is there a list of radio files (CDMA/LTE) that are safe to flash for 2.11.605.5? I know different radios have different results so I want to give them a try. I'm on the East Coast and in New York I got 2Mbps, but I work in New Jersey during the weekdays and I get no signal at all here for data (still have voice).
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.
What are you using to test internet speeds?

I usually use SpeedTest for all my speed tests. I read somewhere that it's not that accurate for 4G testing, but I've used it many times in my area and when it says the speed is fast, it is (downloads and everything). I was downloading some apps from the market yesterday and it was much slower than usual.
I'm sure it's the radio issue also because now I don't get any signal here in New Jersey when I usually just get a weaker 4G signal.
I flashed the following CDMA/LTE files in bold:
From the 2.11.605.3 RUU:
CDMA: 1.48.00.0906
md5: c6a5a9eee78e0f33267fa80ced3c49b8
LTE: 0.01.78.0906
md5: 6f33809cf2253c38a3c6bb970f030eee
From the 2.11.605.5 RUU:
CDMA: has the same CDMA radio as the 2.11.605.3 RUU
LTE: has the same LTE radio as the 2.11.605.3 RUU

Why don't I have any 3G signal at all even after I flashed that also? Is it safe for me to use the other radio files or it will risk bricking my phone? Or does that only apply for RUU flashes (those are the huge 400MB files)?
Thanks.

Not sure what you mean. To run a speedtest?
I want to flash to another radio to see if it gives me faster speeds. I know to be more careful with the RUU firmware (huge) files. Is it safe to assume that flashing the radio (the small file for CDMA/LTE) won't brick my phone? Are there any recommended for 2.11.605.5 RUU?
Thanks.
UPDATE: Had some time and read up on the posts in the forum. Ran the Comcast Xfinity speedtest from the phone's browser and it's definitely not the speed expected (around 6Mbps...compared to 40Mbps+). Installed the latest MR4 radio files again and also used leanKernel 6.1. Ran speedtest from Comcast again and getting mixed results (20Mbps+ and 30Mbps+). Have to settle with that now
4g issues
I am currently using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1003891 and I flashed the radios both lte and CDMA and i have no 4g connectivity. I have been working on this but im a noob and kinda lost. I would greatly appreciate if someone could help this ignorant marine out...my device is the thunderbolt software number 2.11.605.5 baseband version 1.48.00.0906w_1, 0.01.78.0906w_2 kernel version 2.6.35.10-ck3+...hope that helps you help me
make sure you dont have the MR4 stock kernel on your thunderstick rom
cause he did package that for awhile and the mr4 kernel from what ive been told throttles speeds down to 2 or 3 mbps but if you get imos 6.2 kernel it will shoot back up to what it was before
Just ran a speed test on speakeasy while on stock MR4 kernel, got 8.4mbs. If it does throttle, it is not that low.

But when you use imos kernel it goes up even higher just check it out

Edit: faster speeds confirmed on imo's kernel: up to 10mbs from about 5 on stock.

I just got Skyrocket. I have never spent so much on a cellphone before.
Now I have 5.99 unlimited data plan from T-mobile. It is well known as T-zone or Web2Go. I was so eager to try this phone on T-mobile and see if it worked.
After unlocking the Skyrocket, I first rooted then tried flashing different modems from Rogers, Telus, T-mobile KID, VK1 and ect but none of them worked. I was only able to pick up voice signal on stock Radio.
Then I tried flashing the phone with Juggernaut and tried flashing modems. Now I started getting HSPA+ signals. For me KID and Telus modem worked the best. Average download speed was around 5-6mb/s. As the Juggernaut ROM was originally intended for 989, it seemed little unstable for me.
Then I tried Sky ICS stock and Telus combo. Wow, Now I was getting download speed of 10mb/s on T-zone. This combo was nicer because phone did not try to search for UMTS signal so frequently as much as it did with Juggernaut. However now my voice signal dropped down to 1 bar and call quality was horrible(at least it was audible).
Has anyone found any other good ROM/kernel/modem combo for Skyrocket that works best on T-mobile?
Flash tpc v3, and then flash faux sky-kernel 009m. Flash telus radio and make sure j have the right apn (access point names) for T-Mobile. This should clear u right up

I was surprised that battery drain is so significant when idle. My old HD2 uses only 2mA when idle, but my skyrocket uses over 100mA even when gps, data, bluetooth turned off. hope new combo fixes this battery drainage problem as well.

download was faster with telsus but upload was crippled. (less than 0.1) hmm
i feel like vk1 does drain the battery like crazy tough and constantly sends those "high are you there type signals"

So what is your combo to get that kind of upload speed?! As I said, can't get over 100kbs of upload, while download works just fine...
depending on coverage, area and carrier that may be why he's doing better than u. Speed tests are all relative, and should only be taken based in averages. If he's living right beside an LTE tower and he's the only one who has an LTE phone for a quarter mile, his speeds will certainly be faster than someone who lives half a mile away from one and has another 200 people using the tower at the same time

Coverage in NYC is great. Have HTC Sensation and SkyRocket, both with T-Mobile. At the same spot Sensation gets 7Mbit/1.7MBit, while SkyRocket is 7MBit/0.1MBit, so the problem could be in modem, kernel or ROM. Modem is the suspect #1. It seems U/L freq. is the one causing slow upload speeds.

i have been using the skyrocket on tmobile for 2 days now. i get 2-3 mbps down at work until 4pm or so and then it degrades to 200-500 kbps. i don't know if it is the phone or the tmobile network, but i did not have this issue before with my nexus one.
as i drive away from work, i suppose when i switch towers, i get back to 2-3 mbps down.
this is the behavior that i have noticed the past 2 days.
---------- Post added at 11:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------
on another note, i wanted to ask if it is safer and more compatible to be running skyrocket roms and kernels or tmobile galaxy sii roms and kernels?
of course the common theme would be tmobile / telus radio. i'm currently running TPC rom with faux's kernel and tmobile vk1 radio and i am having issues with 8tracks app. it keeps pausing and won't play again until i skip track. i have so far determined it is not the radio, since this happens on both tmobile and telus radio.

No matter what RIL+Radio combination I try, no matter what APN trick I do, I can not get my Inspire to reach satisfactory speeds. My speedtest result are ~350kbps down and ~700 up. I see other people posting much higher speeds. When tethered to my laptop, It wont even stream youtube vids. It hardly loads them. I am using Android Revolution 7.0.3 with recommended radio. Any one have any advice? I am living in the barracks right now and I cant have internet installed and this is killing me!
A couple things. Location is a big factor in speed. You should only be comparing your speeds to others in your immediate area, on the same network of course. Also, when you flash a radio, you need to give it 24 to 48 hours to settle in. Make sure you're doing that. If you flash the recommended radio for ARHD, you don't need the RIL. It's already built into the ROM.
I flashed the att RIL with the att Radio.. just went back to the AR recommended radio where can I find the AR RIL? do i have to reflash the rom? I am in an area that should have fast HSDPA. I was at the att store about 5 minutes from my barracks and their devices were getting much faster speeds on the same network... Any recommended Radio+RILs for North Carolina?
So is there a reason why I am capped at 300 kbps download? anyone else having this issue? ive been trying to figure this out all night it didnt used to be this slow

So, I imported a sensation 4G from canada (Bell) and have now S-off, unlocked, rom'd, unlocked CID . everything. since i flashed ARHD my signal has had more issues and switched back and forth from H to 3g alot. I also get higher ping and slower data test speeds with the new ROM

Hi all.
I just finished picking up my sgs2lte. Really excited about it. I just finished rooting it and now I would like to install an ICS 4.0.4 rom.
My specs are:
SGH-I727R
Android 2.3.5
Baseband I727RUXKJ7
Kernel 2.6.35.11
Build GB.RUXKJ7
I am hoping someone can assist me with this.
What is the best baseband for rogers?
What is the biggest sdcard that I can buy for it? I heard that this device can now accept 64 class10 sdcards, is this true?
Thanks all,
Heeter
I don't think it matters much.
UCLE2 is the recommended modem for most ROMs (Most ROMS will state which modem is recommended), especially the AOSP based ones like CM9 or AOKP. For the most part they seem to be interchangeable.
I have used the UCLE2 and UCLF3 baseband modems with no issues (I believe UCLF3 is the RAT unlocked rogers modem..).
Right now I am using the latest AT&T modem UCLF5, with CyanogenMod 9 (7/02/2012 nightly) and it seems to work just fine.
Are you able to get 4G with your setup?
Thanks for your response, Rabidsmurf
Heeter
Yes, although the phone is somewhat misleading, at least in CM9
The icon will show 3G until in use when it switches to H, I assume this is for power savings or something. Download the speedtest.net app to confirm. On 4G i get around 8Mb/s down and 2.5 Mb/s up.
Additionaly what Rogers calls 4G is HSPA+, if you go to About Phone > Status under mobile network type it should say HSPAP:15 (That is HSPA+ 4G on rogers), conversely 3G is UMTS:3. My phone flips between the two as I mentioned when not in use or in use, could be a ROM specific thing.

Well, mine was saying 4G before the rooting with the factory settings,
But it says UMTS:3 on there now.
I will install CM9, maybe that will make the difference, I just installed the ATT UCLF5 radio, still 3G
Heeter
What ROM are you using?
If it's SKY ICS, in my experience it will always say 4G no matter what (Unless it's LTE maybe).
If you see UMTS:3 try to open an APP that has constant network demands, it might switch while you're looking at it in the status to HSPAP:15, sometimes it's tough to catch it as the phone seems to go idle as soon you go into the menus
I am also in Edmonton by the way.
Hi Rabidsmurf
Was mistakingly on the Chimera rom, but I just reformatted everything and now is using this SKY ICS 4.2F6 with the UXCLF3 radio, now I am getting the 4G signal
Thanks sooo much for helping me out.
Right on, cool, fellow Edmonton dude.

No problem.
I was also going to suggest reviewing your APN settings if all else failed. Found a typo earlier with the APN that comes with CM9 rom (caused MMS to not work), guess that's why it's still an Alpha.

lol actually its at the level of an RC, but I digress
I'm using the I727RUXLF3 Baseband on AOKP Build 40 in the Edmonton area as well and it's running great. I see the same behaviour with the switching between 3G/H signal.
I have a rooted and unlocked at&t skyrocket on jellybean 4.1.2 with very slow speeds, so I tried flashing the radios UCMC1 and UXUMA7 through cwm and nothing has changed. After messing with the APN settings a little my data is no longer working. It shows the bars but I can't get a connection.
I flashed the radio UVLI1 in hopes that I would get lucky but that caused my bars to go away to be replaced by a slashed circle. I flashed back to UCMC1 which is showing the bars, but still no data connection. I have broken my back googling and searching forums on this matter but I can't seem to figure this out. Any help please?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349914
Don't double post
I think UCMC1 and UXUMA7 are ATT and Rogers radios respectively. UVLI1 is the T-Mobile SGS2 ICS radio, which may not work on your JellyBean rom.
Try UVMC6, which is the radio for T-Mobile's SGS2 Jelly Bean update. You can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400
Results can never be guaranteed, but this is the radio I use, and it has worked fine on every single rom I've tried, Touchwiz or AOSP, even in areas w/o the 1900Mhz refarm.

It depends on what you observe using either of these..
Try them one by another and see which one is better (UCMC1 vs UX radio) in signal and data speeds ... Personally I couldn't find any difference in my location ... Both gave me the exact same signal and data speeds (TM LTE).

The UX gave me faster data speeds. Call clarity is about the same. I see 4G more than with the UC radio... I was wondering about the T-Mobile radio
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
T-Mobile radios would give you the ability to connect to T-Mobile 3G using AWS bands 1700/2100 Mhz Band4...And no LTE (or 4G) of course since the Hercules and Blaze (or the note one from TM) devices have no LTE radio chip...
If you live in an area in which T-Mobile deployed their new LTE(and most likely they already refarmed the PCS 1900 band), use UCMC1 or the UXMA7 radio,whichever you find better...Setting the apn to fast.t-mobile.com is essential for sure to get the service...
If you live in an area that T-Mobile is still at their 3G service (AWS bands for HSPA+) use the newest blaze JB radio...
Edit : when you say faster data speeds UX vs UC , any speed vs speed measurement you can share ? probably I didn't give each radio enough testing and jumped to conclude that they have same data speeds !
:good:

It depends on what you observe using either of these..
Try them one by another and see which one is better (UCMC1 vs UX radio) in signal and data speeds ... Personally I couldn't find any difference in my location ... Both gave me the exact same signal and data speeds (TM LTE).
