I have been using 2.3.5 with the new radio, I have more bars and sometimes I get better speeds but I lose more frequently my 3g and keeps bouncing 3g/1x, my wifi sucks but I don't use it a lot and 4g, I don't have here in my area.
Have the same problem since I moved to 2.3.5 and so have moved back to a rom that uses 2.3.4 (Oxygen 2.1.6).
Is the wifi/3g trouble due to the radio? If yes, anyone knows how I can use a newer rom with an older radio?
Thanks

Flash the rom first then apply the radio.
I have been using the old radio for a day and now I don't have a problem with the wifi and the 3g works the same, like crap, so I am going to keep the old radio with this one 2.3.5 rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205936 , for couples days and see. 3g in Sprint sucks!
HI,
Edit: Title should be UCLA3 vs. UCLA2 (Gingerbread)...sorry
I am currently running a rooted MHX 3.1 superlite ROM (thanks). It runs well and seems to be very stable. I have ran some of the newer ICS leaks and decided to go back to gingerbread for the stability.
Although I have not had trouble from it, I have read the UCLA3 modem is not that good and the UCLA2 is a much better modem.
Is there a way to run the UCLA2 modem with gingerbread? (link?) Or is just better to leave well enough alone when it comes to the modems?
Thanks!
Nitro
title should be ucla3 (gingerbread) vs ucla2
And basically no, the ucla2 modem was the crappiest of all the ICS modems. UCLA3 modem with gingerbread still gives better reception and speeds than ics (ucle2 comes fairly close), but I recommend u leave well enough alone
thanks ice

But I'm getting Edge 2. Any ideas how to get 4G etc.?
Just an FYI - When I try to flash Blaze_4G_LB7_ICS_Radio, it makes my IMEI null....
Please advise
Or in other words...
What is the best combination of ROM/Radio/Kernel etc. for I727 to work perfect with T Mobile?
I have read a lot of threds but I'm confused.
Please help.
Thanks in advance!!

I have to bump this up. Have same question. What is a stable combination for T-mobile on the skyrocket. I've tried various kernels, sky, dag.. Also different roms, gb or ics. I've been on embryo with kj3 for a while now, and i get fine edge, but 4g is shown when connected to hspa, and I'll get extremely unresponsive data (takes 5 sec to start transferring data) with about 1mbit down max, but literally no upload. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
So I've got Cyanogenmod 9 stable running on my SGH-I727 Skyrocket, rooted and unlocked of course, but I can't find any steps on flashing the radio. I've been searching for a couple hours. Anyone know the process? I've downloaded a radio from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1507825
But I just am not sure the process, do you just boot into Clockworkmod Recovery and install the zip? Thanks for any help! Edge speed sucks and that is all I have right now.
You flash it just like you flash anything else. Just wipe cache and dalvic.

Certain radios are supposedly for different locations but I'm not sure about that. I'm currently in NYC and I have the Sky ICS 4.2F6-3.0 ROM with the regular 3.0.8 kernel. My first speed test results were horrid--30 kB/s down & <4kB/s up. I flashed numerous radios (make sure the rils file isn't in the zip before flashing) and right now I've settled on the UVLH1 radio. I was getting over 150 kB/s in October, but I think the changes to T-Mobile's network are responsible for my current speeds of 700 to >1400 kB/s up & 200 to >300 kB/s up.
The IMEI and IMEISV shows up as well with the UVLH1 radio. You display a large At&t 4G icon on the top though. You could also just download all of the radios and just flash one at a time.
OK I'm on cm9 and I'm having different call quality than I had on stock. Now I made sure to save all my APN info from stock. Cm9 APN is a lil different. If I entered in my APN's from stock into the cm9 section will it help? And another noob question. I downloaded uclf5 radio from mohans thread. Is it safe to flash different radios on different roms? Thanks guys bare with me please .
Sent from my S2 Skyrocket
Apn settings have no bearing on call quality, that's all radio.
In all honesty, uclf5 sux, use either uclf6 or ucla3 with ril mod for ics/jb. U may also try ucle2 if those first two don't work
Okay. I will try it. And I can use mohans radios? And also I'm guessing those are old radios. Will they work with lte?

I have a 727r and I want to use it on wind, and have no idea what combo of rom / kernal / modem to use. what I do know:
The 727r radio has the ability to pick up the signal
The wind network uses HSPA+ - transmit on 1700, receive on 2100
There are modem files out there for these frequencies
Things I don't know
How to make sure a rom / kernel / radio will work with each other (hopefully without needing to spend hours flashing n! combinations)
How to figure out if a modem file will support my device, or the frequencies I need
Things I've tried
the 989 from Tmobile runs on HSPA+, so I tried installing a tmobo rom, kernel, and radio with little success.
Trying to install / flash different rom - kernel - modem combos (most of which results in baseband version:unknown - this means the modem and rom are incompatible right?)
What I'm asking
Is there anyone running a 727r on wind that wouldn't mind sharing their rom / kernel / modem combo?
Has anyone found a Cyanogen-kernel-modem combo that works?
I am NOT asking which is the "best". After spending 4 hours of flashing and praying things will work, I don't care if I get the "worst" rom. I just want a combo that works
WORKING(more or less) COMBOS:
R34P3ReX_T989_Skyrocket_Conversion - Juggernaut_50_0218 - Tmo_SGH-T989_KID_radio
Gingerbread base, gyroscope tilts screen wrong way, a bit buggy, but works
CM10, CM10, T989UVLH1
Works well enough, having Call issues though. Going to try a new radio
Cyanogen always gets terrible battery. Going to look for an optimized version but not a problem for me
CM10, Blaze 4G UVLH5
Calling worked, I could hear caller, but they heard a lot of garbled blarky. Not good
u don't need a specific ROM or kernel at all, all u need to do is try different t radios. try the uvle1 from the t989 aka Hercules subsection, and give the modem someone dumped from the i757m bell version to see if u can catch a signal. I strongly believe the later will work

So.. im using the Tmo Radio.. the latests and you can get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400
and as for the ROM i am using Cyanogenmod 10.0 but the T989 version.
works good.. dont forget to wipe everything.. as for the other comment where you just need to flash the radio.. dunno.. i tried that a couple of times and it didnt work.. however.. im about to try it again.. so ill let you know how it goes.. for now though.. just to get it working.. i would do the above..
tip: i initially flashed the UVLH1 radio.. worked great.. great signal.. then i updated the other day to the latest.. and it seems as though my signal is not as strong.. dunno.. but try it out.. you never know..
also.. on initial boot up.. you need to give it a couple of minutes for things to settle.. it should pick up the Wind signal by itself... if it doesnt after 5 mins.. then do a search.. but you shouldnt have a problem..
So.. i can confirm that you CAN install the TMO radio and the ATT Skyrocket CM 10 ROM!!!!!
Infact... it works great!!!
TIP: i can also confirm that the UVLH1 has a stronger signal than the UVLI4 radio which is the latest. not sure why.. but i reverted back to UVLH1
hope this helps!

I tried to install the T989 (Hercules) CM10 version but it kept failing to install
The recovery I'm using is Team Win Recovery, if that matters. I suspect either TWRP is not working or the Kernel is incompatible
What Kernel are you using?

if it was built for t989 specific phones it wont install because of the assert
u dont need a t989 rom anyways, but if you want to try them out make sure the updater script doesnt have the assert function and do the rotation fix
I'm using the i727r (Rogers) running CM 10.1. I'm still on Rogers using the stock radio for now. Is there any consensus as to which radio file to flash for best results?
I know this thread is a little stale, but I figured I would throw in my two cents.
I have an i727r, unlocked. Right now I am running PACman Rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2178402) with the Blaze LB7 radio (4th from the bottom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400). They said I shouldn't be able to run an ICS radio with a JB Rom, but somehow it seems to be working. Note that the radio was on there before flashing PACman.
The kernel showing up in my phone info is the one that came with the PACman Rom, 3.0.72-cyanogenmod. I know this because before flashing PACman over stock, the kernel was 3.0.8.
Having said all that I'm thinking about updating my radio, probably to UVMB1. I'm not sure if I should bother though. I have a Nexus S, which is designed as an AWS phone out of the factory, and when I put my SIM card in that phone, the speedtest results are the same as what I'm getting right now with the LB7 radio on the Skyrocket. So I'm not sure I'd gain much by updating. :/
Can some people in the GTA please chime in to help me.
I am using a Rogers Skyrocket.
SlimBean Rom 4.2.2 Official 7
T989UVMC6 radio/modem
I tried a few other modems and found this one to be the most stable as some did not even allow a call to be made.
This is what I noticed.
Full charge I talked for 20 minutes and lost 10% battery (from full charge)
I get erratic data speeds inside=500-1 and outside I get 3
The problem is the battery drain and signal strength.
What are you using and what is your battery life and signal strength?
Data speeds?
your location?

My carrier is videotron, one of the most difficult carriers to get unlocked phones to work on. Here's what works for me, sim unlocked, rooted. Running cyanogenmod 10.1.0 RC2 with Blaze 4G LF4 radio, nobars battery saver and network booster. I'm still have the same issue as everyone else, baseband unknown and network type unknown. I've been running the stock kernel and I've been running like this for the past couple days, and touch wood, I haven't had any issues. I've tried the 2 Tmo radios, I got no signal what-so-ever, the telus radio kept dropping my connection, meaning, I would have to try and resend text messages several times before it would actually send. Now that I'm using my current setup, as described at the beginning of my post, no problems to date.
I hope my input helps out.

Edited, UVMB1, the NEW Blaze 4G radio from this thread seems to work as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895400
But like x said, u had issues u just weren't aware of them. Problems don't just APPEAR for no reason.
this threads getting confusing.
ucmc1 and uxuma7 is for rogers and att users on cm10.1
if using unlocked skyrocket for other carriers then you would need compatible jb radio for the new/unlocked carrier for cm10.1 based roms
so for tmo/wind etc you would need UVMB1 for the AWS bands, there are other jb radios for telus, bell but don't know if/how well they work on said carrier.
so if your carrier uses the same frequency's as tmo then UVMB1 seems to be what users are reporting success with.
if your carrier is using same frequency as att/rogers then the ucmc1 or uxuma7 radio is what you need
correct me if im wrong
