I'd like to know what differences those of you who have used the update tool are experiencing with the new baseband. Signal strength? GPS? Battery life? I'm using the one from July 2011, but I don't know what the differences (if there are any) between the two. Also, does the new bb need a different ril as well? I, think I saw something about v21y? Any help would be appreciated

Don't know the difference, but attached is the ril file you need for the new baseband. I've also sent an email to the developer of getril so he'll update it soon, I hope. Just extract it to /system/lib.
Sweet, thanks. I guess I'll flash the baseband and use this ril and report my findings.

I just installed the updated LG rom with the new baseband and android 2.3.4 today and it seems to have better signal. As for GPS I'm not sure because I never had a problem with it before. And I can't say anything about battery life yet as I just installed it around noon.
Just read that some people are having problems making calls on anything but stock roms after updating baseband. Anyone else got that issue?
I updated to the new stock v21y,
so far iv noticed the obviously new bb,
the key bored seems different, and the touch screen seems more responsive and snappier, if that makes any sence...
but i have also noticed that the colors seem brighter and more crisp.. can anyone els confirm that or is it just me?

Yeah, I heard the keyboard got updated. I think the kernel is the same, so I don't know about the touch responsiveness. Could you do me a favor and flash a custom rom (anything other than stock), use the ril posted above, and let me know if you can make/receive calls?

Already read just about every thread dealing with v21y...
And several people have already stated that pretty much no custom roms are currently able to make calls with the new BB ... so no need to try
Just going to wait for the devs to assimilate the new bb into the Roms....
Shouldn't take them more then a couple days... at most.

Does not show the RIL for V21y,
hey look up at the begining of this thread someone posted a link to the new ril with instructions.
It is in the second post
So far, here are my impressions regarding v21y:
* Battery life: I have been off charger for 10 hours now, and battery has only just slipped down to 80%
* Signal: Any residual signal issues that were not fixed with v21e and T-Mobile's repurposing have been fixed on my end.
* Swype: The built-in Swype keyboard has been updated with a new interface that takes a bit to get used to.
* Browser: Open Window limit reduced to 4 (from 8 in v21e)
* General speed: It does seem a bit faster and more responsive than before. A quick check with Quadrant on my phone gave me a score of 2147
Other than that, it's not much different than v21e.

I see, I see. Well it seems there are some benefits but, for me, they don't outweigh the fact that I wouldn't be able to use any other roms for now. I'll hold off on the new bb until our devs find a way to work with it.

Same handset so should work fine, however LG has already pulled it from the official update tool.
At this point the only option is to use the offline KDZ flash method.
Edit:
Please follow this thread and look for Core Memory's detailed instructions regarding the KDZ method:

Ok, so for those of you who are wondering where to find the new Sprint CDMA HTC Hero radio, here it is This is for Sprint users on any rom; however if you're using Firerat's, it will not be as simple as flashing the radio. For those of you running Firerat's, either follow these instructions to flash the radio or see this thread. For those of you NOT running Firerat's, here are the steps to flash:
Download the radio and place on the root of your sd card
Choose "install zip from sd card" in recovery
Select the radio
It should flash, and then ask you to reboot the phone via the menu.
Select "reboot phone" from the recovery menu
The phone should reboot, with a big box and android showing
The phone will then go back to recovey, and say "Formating Cache..."
Wait about 5 seconds, and then reboot!
You're done then, new radio should be flashed! Let me know if you need anything or want to express thanks!
Thanks to Nfinite for the radio pull, here's the MD5 for it: F15CF77B1C08CFB1F357E2574F386F5F

Did not seem to impact signal so far, though I've only tried laying here in bed. I'll report back after work Monday, as that is always the major radio killer spot for me.

No noticeable difference as of yet, but we'll see once I get home how it fares.
Since I use firerats and that method seems daunting, any potential issues with just staying with the old radio? I am due a new phone in Feb and just thinking it might be 'easier' to just stick with the old...also, does anyone know if the PRL is still 60671 or has that been updated also?
Will this work on various software build versions of the stock (rooted) Sprint Hero? Just asking because I didn't upgrade to the latest OTA so I'm still running 2.31.651.7.

Yes it will work.It won't change from custom rom to custom rom.Only if you flash a different radio or if your service provider changes it in a update.(Impaler or anybody if I'm wrong please feel free to correct me.)

if you ran my rom with no issues then you flashed this winzipped radio and have issues now that most likely is not a problem caused by the rom

OK since this is a question I'm assuming that I post this here so if I'm wrong sorry. And I have searched for answers to these questions on xda and Google and if info is out there I can't find it so if someone knows where it is point me in the right direction and I'll read the info myself as I'm not to lazy to research info when I can find it now that that's out of the way my questions are as follows...
1. What does the modem in my phone control the wifi or data and basically what does it do? The quick version will be fine.
2. What does the radio do and controll? Quick version OK.
I just updated to the latest ics leak that came out a couple of days ago I think it UCLD2 correct me if I got that version wrong. I've also tried UCALC4 and with neither I get many bars. On gingerbread I got 2 or 3 bars in my home recliner with UCALC4 I got 1 and with UCLD2 this new leak I get 0. I've read flashing the galaxy note radio will fix this if so I need a link to that radio with instructions on flashing it in cwm. And if that radio does not fix the problem can I flash back to this one or maybe a gingerbread one?
And lastley I'm getting a notification at the bottom of my screen every few minutes that says connected to belkin wifi etc. I did not get this on gingerbread is this also a radio problem or a modem problem or a tottaly different issue? And what can I do to fix it? Should I just restore the backup of gingerbread I made and wait for the official update whatever year that may be lol?
Thanks ahead of time for any help or advice...

I typed "android phone modem" in Google and got an answer on the first page, I'm sorry but I highly doubt u searched anything. None the less, as a new user I will spoon feed u this one time
Radio and modem are interchangeable terms used on CDs to basically describe the firmware used to control your phones cellular radio. Different firmwares enable different functions and frequencies. Basically with no modem, u have no cell data, or signal. No calling, no texting, nothing
UCLCL5 has been pulled due to it causing too many instability issues. getting a phone that works with it is luck of the draw. Use leeC UCLA3 radio for ics instead

Sorry but I typed in cell phone modem and of course with that all I got was ways to connect your PC to the internet thru the cell phone. Didn't think about putting android in cause I figured modem would be in all phones oh well I will try that too see what I come up with. I'm in a real wooded very rural area so im not sure if the radio is the main problem I do know other phones like pan tech link a non smart phone gets full signal here but none of our android phones do. My main concern is the wifi saying connected every few minutes and my connection seeming like its slower that problem I did not have on gingerbread or UCALC4 is anyone else having these issues on the new leak

OK I flashed that modem that you gave me the link to then rebooted and BAM!!!!!! Instant signal bars... Thanks man you are awesome and I may be a noober but I'm learning a lot fast thanks to guys like you. I am a computer programmer/web developer/ net worker but phones are new to me but I'm learning in many ways there similar but in other ways miles apart... But thanks again.. oh yea by the way in baseband version it says UCALC4 but in build number it says UCLD2 but the modem I flashed said UCLA3 so I'm not sure what that's all about but its working so if it ain't broke you don't go messing with it...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA
yeah, you'll learn about that as u go along, but they're basically different build numbers. UCLD2 is the newest, UCLA4 is the previous ics leak build, and UCLA3 is actually a gingerbread radio (2.3.6), but it works really well.
If I helped I u, and if others do in the future, hit the thanks button!

Yep, I used LeeC's UCLA3 modem for a good while. I tried the others but kept going back to it for the connectivity. Of course, everyone's phone and conditions differ so you have to try anything for yourself before you know if it is going to work for you. Like mentioned, it will probably show "Unknown" for a baseband, but it works. I am using the latest ICS modem (UCLD2) now with the Alien 7 ICS ROM and it seems to work just as well as the UCLA3 modem did for me.
+1 my wifi is even much faster and alot better range on ucld2 radio. Ucld2 is in every aspect. Far superior
Smoother. Faster. Less bugs
And easier to build from
I built my new rom. The ucld2 one. And did the themeing. In 1 afternoon.
Of course i have a great setup i ended up with from dealing with. The other leak. But i still say its much more refined
The UCLA3 modem worked good for me no doubt but as you said every phone is different and I like to try new things and stay cutting edge so I flashed the UCLC5 modem out of the galaxy note and my download speeds are faster with it but like you said it seems to depend on the phone itself and I would suggest anyone who is gonna try a new modem to try each one for a day or two to see which one is the right fit for your specific phone...

i have a At&t infuse. i used kies to get the recent 2.3.6 update. i then rooted and have no custom kernal or anything. reason being, everytime i flash a CUSTOM KERNAL like Entropys DD my wifi always has some problems. it connects dont get me wrong. but it doesnt stay on for but 3minutes before it turns off and comes RIGHT BACK ON! i cant watch videos or download great roms with wifi interuptions! lol ive read and read and read till my eyes bleed and cant find why.
i HAVE: used ODIN to go back to stock and try again, nope//used Heimdall and still NOPE// i even Used ODIN with Entropys DD already in it and still have the same problem. (using Entropys most recent 3-4-12(i think))// I Even got another INFUSE and still same problem!//i have WIPED WPED WIPED my fingers sore and still nothing// And yes i have purchased a NEW router also and renewed lease to 2weeks or somehing other than never. THIS DOESNT HAPPEN WHILE STOCK only when using Custom kernals, AND NOT JUST ENTROPYS!!
so please please gus help me out!! sorry for the lengthy post but try to understand my frustration! lol thanks again!!
ok just in case anyone is folowing, i found Entropys CURRENT kernal (4-4-12), works great!

sorry for the late response, but yes. correct.
Even i have the same wifi disconnect problem every 2 minutes, problem started when i had to root my 2.3.6 and i installed Entropy's Daily Driver, then i installed zeus 6 still had the problem then i installed I997UCLB3-CWM-root-deodex-extras i still have the same problem
guys so installing 4-4-12 will resolve the issue or its just the same?
i have installed the 4-4-12 from entropy using sgs flasher but still the same problem
this is an issue i am plagued with as well... except it only happens at home, never at work.
Any thoughts Entropy or Bigjoe?
I also have this problem. I installed I997UCLB3-CWM-root-deodex-extras from a stock GB infuse and got this problem...now i'm running Recursion V1 with the same problem.
i called belkin support thinking it was my router... it wasnt, chaanged all kind of settings still disconnects. talked to samsung, no fix there either. i know i have done a clean flash so i know thta isnt the problem. must be something to do with the kernel or modems. but like i said only happens on my home network, never at work on wifi..

You download it to a your sd card ever one cwm can access. And then just flash the zip. All it took for me. But what fixed my problem was changing the DHCP setting in my router from never to two Weeks

AHHH! I got it to work. I kept trying to do it from the cwm app. When i manually entered the cwm recovery using vol and power...it worked. Now i gotta test it.
thanks

Saw this on Engadget this morning...

Is this something rooted users need to be concerned about? I searched and didn't find this posted here.

looks like Sammy already patched this, most likely with an OTA. so if you're stock and you took an OTA recently, you should be ok.
I think it also only affects TouchWiz ROMs, so if you are on a non-TW ROM, again, you are ok (I *think*). Each ROM's individual devs will have to tell you if that ROM has had the patch integrated or not.
Till then, if you are on TW, don't go to any atypical websites.

that link gives a bit more information, including a list of other phones affected.
Its been patched for almost all the phones listed already. Like said above the only way this is still an issue is if you are running a custom TW ROM and the devs didnt patch.
A lot of people may not have taken the last update. I personally didn't as I didn't want verizon's remote service program, the dumbed down no local search, and to lose root possibly. I just flashed the modem update for the no-sim issue separately. I'm hoping maybe an enterprising person will find a way to flash the patch somehow.

My phone is running stock and took the OTA fine, so this test came out with a good result for me.
Interestingly, I also noticed that sending that link to Opera doesn't kick off the dialer at all - only using the stock browser did that on my phone.

Hello! I was wondering if any of you tech savvy people could help me out. I had bricked my Galaxy S3 and installed a new ROM on it in order to fix it. Needless to say it worked, or so I thought. Could you help? Details are below.
Model: Samsung-SGH-I747 (AT&T)
Issues:
-Camera won't take pictures, yet I can see what it sees.
-Video won't record.
-Mic won't pick up audio.
-No audio from phone at all.
-SIM is not being read
-Whole phone is a little laggy.
Please help me, Samsung chat wasn't very helpful.
Try flashing full stock via Odin
that or try a different kenel. It would be good tho to start all fresh with the right firmware

Yeah, that seems to be a kernel issue

Thanks for the replies! I had flashed it with a ROM I linked below. Also, could you elaborate on what a Kernel is?
On the Samsung Updates page, Galaxy S III LTE (AT&T) SGH-I747, is the device. I selected the only ROM available.

A kernel acts as a connection between the hardware and the software.

Thanks. Is there any way to go about checking and/or replacing a kernel?

Changing a kernel is pretty easy, just download the appropriate kernel for your phone and flash it through any custom recovery, then wipe cache and dalvik cache to avoid any future issues, you are good to go then

Ok, I have been trying and can't seem to do it. Is there any way you could link me to a kernel for my phone that doesn't require me rooting my phone again or using a SD Card. Thank you, you've really been helping me.

I am using this kernel on my s3. Its really good, a lot of powerful options, and easy to install. Just make sure you read thru the entire OP and research anything you don't understand. Depending on how bad your phone is, it might not be a bad idea to odin the original firmware and start fresh.

This is a badass ROM. I am running the sprint version tho. This is the one ported to at&t. the kernel comes built in on the sprint version and probably is also on this one. I had to flash the att kernel to work with sprints new version of the s3. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/development/rom-ported-wicked-x-v8-0-att-t2985227 Same thing there too. Read the entire OP at least and as much of the att and original thread as you can, and thank the devs.
