Latest Leaked Radio Version

What is the latest Leaked radio version for the TB. I see MR2.5, MR2.75 and MR3 but I cant get any version info or download links. Can someone point me in the right direction, and which has been good for most people?

Goto section VI of the Rom and kernel listing that is a stckie in the development section of this site. Click the link for Adryn's obligatory radio thread listed there.
I ran the MR2 radio with no issues whatsoever, and recently updated to the leaked alpha GB radio (.704). IMO, radio selection is trial and error - for example I had bad performance from the MR2.5 radio where others didn't.
Be sure to use a radio recommended on the OP of the ROM you stein running. All will list the radio there as well.

because of the intermediate leaked versions which were thought to be the official MR2, and such, but ultimately were not.. I'm confused when people are calling the different radios by MR2, MR2.5, mr2.75, etc...
I really wish people would just call out the Radio code version, rather than anything else.
Some threads which may or may not be helpful, since their OP's haven't been updated since MAY -> [RADIO] The Obligatory Thunderbolt Radio Thread and -> [RUU] All known Mecha RUUs & OTAs (signed only) 5/16/2011
From "official ROM" stand point, I know the following...
ROM 1.12.605.6 with Radio_1.16.00.0223r Was the shipping version.
ROM 1.13.605.7 with Radio_1.16.00.0402w was the MR1 pushed by Verizon OTA
ROM 1.70.605.0 with Radio 1.39.00.0627r, 0.01.69.0625r was the MR2 pushed by VZW OTA on July 8. ("ROM" and Radio link -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160374 )
Chingy51o has acquired a newer GB ROM leak which also included radio "1.46.00.0704w_2, 0.01.76.0703_2r". The entire ROM/Radio hasn't been shared yet... BUT This radio has been stripped out and posted over on themikmik.com. It is the newest leaked radio I've seen to date. (you'll have to visit themikmik.com to get it... its in the Thunderbolt -> Development -> General -> Official section)... And the ROM part serves as the base for Gingeritis v1.2.

i have zero issues with the latest OTA. leaked radios can do more harm than good IMO.

I've used it since chingy got it and have had no problems. It actually seems better on mine.

That's what I was hearing too, and later, what I was experiencing.... like the ROM built on the base those radios came from wouldn't even boot. Lousy service too.

I'm running chingys new radio leak on his gingeritis 3d rom and its ****ing tits. best signal, GPS, wifi, and battery life outa all the radios I've tried.

That's exactly the combo I was trying to run and it would only boot a quarter of the time. Is there something I should be doing first? Reflashing the ROM when I flash the radio? Wouldn't think I should have to.

I've ran the leaked radio a few times, and each time my wifi acts weird. I would have wifi connected, then randomly it would disconnect and say my home wifi is out of range, even though I'm sitting at home with my computer connected to my wifi.
No problems on the OTA radio, so that's what I'm sticking with. Just sharing my experience.

No, just sounds like you had a corrupted file. Try and dl everything again and try it again. On the 3d beta 2 version I was using the mr2 radio first for a week or so then flashed the new radio. So when I went to the new 3d build, beta 6, I already had the new radio

I had the same issue on first boot with gingeritis 3d VI. Actually bootlooped on me. Pulled the battery and it booted just fine after that. Was on the original Mr2 radio at the time. Since updated to his new leak. Been the best Rom I've run on my bolt so far.

If you read the directions he tells you this is likely to happen and tells you to hold the volume buttons and press power to reboot and then everything works.fine, and it never does it again. It happens to me with every version upgrade, don't know why, but after the reboot it never happens again and everything works fine. ****s rock solid for me, hella fast, super batt life.

Been running the .704 leaked radio with ging3r3dth3ory and its been great.

Ive tried all these leaked radio's and they are garbage in Connecticut. OTA MR2 has my SpeedTeasts at 10-15 MBs down and 5 MBs up. The leaked crap only gives me 0.3 MBs up or down. Especially that last one i tried 1.46.00.0704w_2.

My friend is on Rogers, WTF can he do?

lol, I have the T-mobile GSII
Rooted, rom'd and loving it.
now of course he wants to join, but he lives in the arctic, Canada and is on Rogers.
I found a video on how to root it, but really, if there is no Roms he can put on it, its kinda useless.
Anyone know of a ICS rom that works with Rogers ??
Maybe a rogers radio with an AT&T rom ?
no?
Thanks

Yes he can do almost everything the AT&T people can do, in fact we a unlocked radio where we can fiddle with the LTE settings.
I'm running the "official" CM9 right now.

awesome dude, thanks.. Do you have a link for the official CM 9 for the rogers ?? Thanks

Ok I did the root method from the guy who posted first here.
It seems to of worked.. but how do I get Clockwork recovery on ??
I had him install Rom manager but what model phone is his?

Don't use rom manager to install recovery!!!
Go to development section and check out the stickies.

His phone model is the i727R.
If you're rooted, you can quite easily flash CWM via odin (I use CWM touch). Once you're rooted and have CWM installed, you can install (almost) any of the roms you find in the development section. Instructions for installation are usually included in the development thread.
My two favourite roms at the moment are SkyICS and CM9. I'm currently running SkyICS as I can get a solid three days between charges with moderate usage although I do enjoy the feel of CM9 a bit more.

I would make the point that it seems, at least in my case and perhaps others, that CWM Touch is required if flashing from GB. I had to do that so...my $0.02, and all.
Edit: That is, if you want to avoid having to do some additional steps like Darside wipe.

Latest Cyanogenmod 9 with UCLF6 libs | Hosts file ad-blocking (7/14/12)

i compiled cm9 using the official ics UCLF6 files. cm9 is using the UCLE2 files still. Im not sure exactly what differences it will make but they are updated libs and if you are anything like me you want to have the latest and greatest. haha.
i will update the rom daily so it will act as a nightly sort of. i will continue to make these roms daily until cm9 pulls in the UCLF6 files.
I will compile these during the night after 7 or 8 oclock so you can have the changes that are going to be in the next cm9 nightly the night before its released. hehe. they usually put in the changes the night before and then make the rom with those changes the next day. this rom will have the changes before the official rom does.
if you want the latest modem flash this one first:
UCLF6 Modem w/ csc files: http://d-h.st/XYa (thanks seanzscreams)
Latest CM9 rom with UCLF6: HERE
Latest GAPPS: HERE
0.) flash UCLF6 modem (optional)
1.) mounts & storage >> format /system
2.) flash rom
3.) flash gapps
4.) mounts & storage >> format /cache
5.) reboot & enjoy
if you follow these instructions then you will still have your data from your previous cm9. which is always a plus.

Instagram works with these libs! Whoo! Idk about everyone else but it was not working with the nightlies. I could view my feed but I could not take pics and apply filters

Nice work!!!!!

Has anyone tried the camcorder filters? Do they work?
**UPDATE** Nope, they don't.

Nice, will test this out!

so then would the current CM9 state of build work best with the UCLE2 radio? If it's being built around the UCLE2 radio why are we continuously trying "other" radios?

some radios work better than other depending on your location etc.
My apartment has horrible signal. UCLE2 manages to get a bar whereas others do not.

I'm using the standard CM9 nightlies, but this build is intriguing. Is your build essentially a preview of what the nightlies will eventually merge in as well?

So the libs and the radio are 2 different things. The cm9 nightlies are being built with the ucle2 libs. They do not include any modem or radio. Libs and radios are interchangeable. You don't have to have the le2 radio with the le2 libs. I hope that makes sense

NBA Jam has never worked for me on CM9/AOKP roms... It plays the intro, then closes itself. (I suspect that's when the game tries to read the downloaded data from the SD card.)

I dunno if its the modem or the lib files, (or maybe something in 7-10) but when I tether another device no data works on this one. When I turn tethering off, I get SMS and mms messages emails weather alerts.. everything that didn't want to come through with portable hotspot on. Browser doesnt work either if it's turned on. Didn't have this issue yesterday, was running 7-9 w f5 modem. Whatta ya think?
(And yes, I am throttled, but I was throttled yesterday as well. I crossed this months line a week and a half ago)
Edit: its not the new radio or the libs. Same thing on official 7-10 with the radio I was using yesterday. So its either 7-10 or I'm more throttled now than I was yesterday. Apologies for the false alarm.

hmmm im not sure. can you get a logcat? the only variable is the libs and modem. i know its alot of work but you can try flashing the stock UCLF6 rom that mohan just posted and see if it does the same thing there. if it does then we know its the libs for sure. i dont think it would be the modem. but you can also try just flashing a different modem on top of the rom you have now and see if that works.
edit: now that i think about it the easiest way to narrow down whether its the radio or libs is to do this.
- be on the rom that isnt working for you (cm9 w/uclf6 libs and uclf6 modem)
- flash a known working modem for you (ucle2, uclf3, etc.)
- see if it works
- if it doesnt work. flash a cm9 nightly with the ucle2 libs. see if that works.
- if it does work then flash the uclf6 modem on top of that and see if it works.
thats the easiest way to determine whether its the modem or the libs

[Q] Status Bar Brightness

On gingerbread on tw based roms we had the ability to change the brightness of the screen by sliding the status bar / notification bar. So my question is what happened to it on ICS? Or is there a way we can get it back? It was super nifty probably the coolest feature of gingerbread on this phone.

Not sure if u are referring to stock ics or looking for a particular rom in which this option would be present. It is an option in cm9 stable. Hope this helps. Cheers

Im not sure of your flashing background but if you are up to it then flash a couple and decide for yourself what is best. Also look at AOKP Milestone 6 (the latest aokp for ics before they turned their focus to jb). There isn't a thread on xda in dev section for some reason, but a simple Google search and you will find it. Also try out instigators kernel with a governor such as bad ass. His kernel is for cm9/aokp and can be found in dev section. Sorry to write a book haha. Good luck

Thanks so much for all this info! The only main reason why I haven't really branched out is because of nandroid backups. I read that when you make a back up it doesn't back up your radio and kernal. So haven't really wanted to try any roms that weren't UCLF6 based. But if I were to go out and try out a few cm9 roms what is the best way to keep track of the default kernal and radio from a rom? I was thinking about just flashing the old rom then restoring the backup of that rom. Or should I not worry about it?
The rom I am using is the latest by seanz and I just changed to twrp recovery. Thanks once again for all the help!

No problem! First off a nandroid DOES save the kernel but u can change the kernel u are using at any time. I am not 100% on the steps as I only have changed upon a fresh install but I believe you wipe cache and dalvik when changing ONLY the kernel and remaining on the same rom. Obviously firm these steps up before doing so. Sorry to go stray off on the thought process . A rom is almost always packaged with a kernel so keeping a base one isn't entirely necessary. If u were to flash cm9 and restored a nandroid of seanz rom you would be back to exactly what you had with his rom. The kernel would be whatever you had with SeanZ not Cm9. Radios don't need to be changed rom to rom and are almost always NOT packaged with a rom. Find one that works for you and stick with it imo. As for twrp I haven't used it but it should be the same. If I'm wrong then someone pls speak up.

Cm9 stable was released Friday Aug. 10th and with that release they have concluded work on cm9 and turned their focus to cm10. Bug fixes in cm10 that correlate to those still present in cm9 will be fixed in the way of nightlies, but the actual night to night improvements of cm9 has ceased. It is best to go with stable and steer clear of new nightlies if u are not having a problem as they may introduce new bugs. Good luck! Enjoy! Let me know if u have any more questions and I will do my best to answer

UCLF6 (or any radio) will work for any rom you use.
I'm currently running it with a Gingerbread rom.
Just find which one is best in your area & use it for whatever rom you like.

Radios don't need to be changed rom to rom and are almost always NOT packaged with a rom. Find one that works for you and stick with it imo. As for twrp I haven't used it but it should be the same. If I'm wrong then someone pls speak up.

Sorry but as well intended as it may seem, some of this info is incorrect. As far as I know the newer recoveries including twrp and cwm touch DO backup kernel, but not radio. Older 5.0.2.x based recoveries which many people still use after initial flash do not, so make sure u are using a recent one. However, reflashing a kernel and/or radio after getting ur rom running is a breeze and doesn't really interfere, so on that front ur good. Also note that u may have to reflash a radio after any rom install anyway as they may include ics specific libraries eg. Blaze, telus. The rest of the info was solid

But that's cuz every rom u flashed had ucle2 based libs bro except for newer cm9 and cm10 code bases, which use uclf6 libs, where are quite compatible with ucle2 and vice versa.
Plus I have no doubt u have the knowledge and know how to diagnose data/voice issues and flash different radios if necessary. I was speaking with the intent to an audience that is still learning, not a seasoned vet/almost dev lol

Cm9 stable was released Friday Aug. 10th and with that release they have concluded work on cm9 and turned their focus to cm10. Bug fixes in cm10 that correlate to those still present in cm9 will be fixed in the way of nightlies, but the actual night to night improvements of cm9 has ceased. It is best to go with stable and steer clear of new nightlies if u are not having a problem as they may introduce new bugs. Good luck! Enjoy! Let me know if u have any more questions and I will do my best to answer

Thanks for all the help! I flashed cm9 the day you told me about it and I got to say.. I love it! I found one bug and that was if you open camera then click on the pic in the bottom corner (it opens the pic) then click on the pic (which opens the pic in the gallery) then when you hit the back button the camera app fcs. I tested this a few times and one time my phone actually rebooted and froze on the boot screen. I just pulled the battery and turned it on and no problems. BUT long story short I disabled the gallery and installed quick pic ( i like quickpic better anyways) and now the camera doesn't fc! Super easy fix for the only bug I have found so far. But I am really liking this rom! Thanks for the heads up buddy. Also I was confused when it said it was uploaded on the 10th! I was like this is like a few days ago OMG. lol But I gotta say i really like it! I really like the ability to have BLN with out the app installed I can't wait for a cm10 stable! and That makes perfect sense to not flash a nightly if stable is working fine thanks for the heads up!

UCLF6 (or any radio) will work for any rom you use.
I'm currently running it with a Gingerbread rom.
Just find which one is best in your area & use it for whatever rom you like.

This is wonderful news that that ICS radio works on GB! At least i would think it is an ics rom cause it got released with the ATT ICS release. lol

Thanks for the help! I am using TWRP so it does back up the kernal
If i wasn't using twrp i would be using cwm touch but this is great to know that before it didn't and NOW it does so it is less to worry about
Its just sometimes finding which kernal the rom was using could be a pain. Like on some of seanzs roms IDK which kernal is the default because sometimes he has like UCLF6 and UCLF6 Modded by me and I don't know which was in the default for the rom lol

Roger 727 users... kernal / radio question

Been using Sean's [ROM] SKY-ICS 4.2F3-7 (UXCLF3 Base) 7/9/12 OFFICIAL ROGERS ICS AT&T/ROGERS SAFE and loving it! Keep up the great work.
Just curious to what other Roger's or other 727 users are running...
Reason being my Bluetooth seems to connect and reconnect in both of my Hyundai 2011 & 2012 vehicles... and when on a call there is a lot of reverb or echo. I'm using UCLF6 radio and SKY ICS MODDED UCLF6 kernel...
Curious...

Bluetooth stack in touchwiz based roms sucks. Apparently its much better aosp, so give cm9 a go

Running CM9 latest stable release stock Kernel with UXLF3 radio using LTE.
Investigator Kernel is running great as well.
battery ...it is wat it is ...
Only main problem for me is the 160 characters limit.

Mohan is working on the BT issue, I've been running mostly his ROM's. Seans are great, but eventually I go to Embryo (mainly he has same car as me so if it works on his then good)
For BT quick fix for you on any rom would be just to flash Mohan's 1.5 Kernel and problems will be gone. Only thing is he alredy has a new one out, but BT is not fixed on it yet.
You can get 1.5 and follow the BT issue discussion in his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1701189
Don't forget to hit thanks to him, he is very dedicated to find the root and fix the BT problem.

Thanks, but did I miss something? (never told him to use CM ROM:laugh:

I'm running CM9 Stable release and have not had any issues as of yet.
I connect it to my BlueAnt ST3 and never have issues. I have even connected it to my OBD II Bluetooth module and never have a communication error.
Running stock CM kernel and I727RUXLF3 radio.
Battery gives me 1-1.5 days depending on use.

Nice.
BT issues are only with Cars and only certain model cars.
I've flashed CM10 last week it was same problem.
I'll give it a try on CM9.

sh-t I see!
no,no problem thanks for pointing this out. I meant exectly what u said, I just forget about it as Mohan has it in BIG RED letters in the thread:cyclops:

Thanks for the replies.
A buddy of mine flashed his wife's phone back to GB... issues resolved. So what's stock radio and kernel? Would not replacing those running ICS not resolve the problems?

I'm using my i727r with Mobilicity and happy to report no voice quality issue with bluetooth in vehicle.

Radio trouble
When I flash roms and install a radio, it takes for ever for it to switch to LTE. APN are all set right. I tried all radios from ATT to Rogers.
Only rom that works is ICS ATT stock tar file.
