If you want to use it on I727R with ICS Rom. please ONLY flash the base file (no RIL).
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4333782/Bell_Note_Base.zip
If you want to try it on different gingerbread flavors, you can flash the one with RIL. DO NOT flash this one on ICS, otherwise you will not get signal.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4333782/Bell_Note_Base_RIL.zip
After you flash the radio file, ICS may not identify the baseband properly(from About Phone). On GB TPC v3 can detect the baseband properly though.

I flashed the Rogers no RIL, works great, better bars, however how damaging it to have unknown baseband?
not damaging at all, the rom will merely identify baseband as "unknown," as u said.
Im curious to know how much better this modem performa compared to the UCALC4. I had problems flashing it before, but once i got it to stick performance has been great, receptions is better and speed on par with UCLA3. Can other rogers users with LTE weigh in on this? Preferably those in the GTA and Vancouver.
does the resolve the unknown caller issue
Hey gey just here to give my feedback about this modem. (I live in GTA)
Personally, I've experienced slower data speeds and bars of reception with this modem as compared to the UCALC4 modem.
On this modem (no ril) I acquired about 20 mbps down and 8 up where as with the UCALC4 modem, I experienced about 26 mbps and 13 up.
Also, with the no ril modem, I was receiving 3 bars while on the UCALC4, I was receiving 4 bars.
maybe because it is a bell modem and rogers will release their own?
I made this for some users can try to use Bell's dual channel HSPA+ as y2whisper advised. For LTE it may not as good as rogers or UCLA4.

but to be honest im running 4g which is another 3g+ and i didn't see any difference but my battery was going upside down lol..as far as ucalc4 once it settles, its wayy better then then RUKJ7 that we have with rogers..
for me its helpful since i am using the device on bell. and well i don't have the same coverage with bell as you do with rogers for LTE. so figured why not get the best hspa+ speeds as i can get.

I tried UCLA3 on ICS yesterday because I can't get LTE on UCALC4. Anyway, it doesn't work. It gives no signal and under 'about phone' it says unknown baseband.
did u try the ics specific one leeC posted?
My mistake, I didn't flash the ICS specific UCLA3. Didn't know of it. Flashed the GB one (no signal) -then flashed back to UCALC4 radio. Ill try ICS UCLA3 soon (it would sure help if someone could post the link so I know for sure)
UCALC4 doesn't seem to be working too well for me. I get LTE very rarely for few seconds at a time only, but mostly not. I always had LTE before though.
I see this Bell Radio works on Rogers i727R. I have not tried it yet myself. I am on TCP v3 still, and looking to try a ICS rom with a new radio, but I am trying to find the Rogers radio in case I want to revert to gb ? Any thoughts ? this is the only radio post i see in the thread, thanks

Much appreciated ! Thank you !
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

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

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

I'm gonna flash the radio for ICS but I'm wondering if someone had a link to a proper UCLA3 radio that is confirmed working with the official ICS.
And as a sidenote, that's all I need to flash, right? In other words, by flashing the UCLA3 radio, I don't also need to flash the UCLA3 kernel or do I?

Of all the GB and ICS leaks/ROMS, I found UCLA3 to give me the best reception in the most. places and the speeds were unbeatable for 4G.
To follow up though, I ended up trying several radios that I know I've run before and each time I flashed one, baseband came up 'Unknown.' I even flashed the official radio that came with ICS and nothing. So being stuck with no radio, I restored a leaked version of ICS with several bugs and so once I got home, I just hooked back up with Kies and loaded the official again.
It's late and I'm just finishing updating and setting up again so I'm not going to bother with root at the moment as i want to look into it. I started having issues with SU just updating via SU so I downloaded the latest and flashed in CWM and still was reading an outdated version. BB was up to date, so far as I could tell. So I'm just going to wait, do a little more reading and see if anyone else ran into this problem. I'm half tempted to drop back down to 2.3.6, given the quirkiness with the official ICS that I and what appears some users have noted.
Again, thanks for the links. This will come in handy after I've rooted and made a full NANDROID just in case it happens again the next time.

It's actually been a while since I did any more legitimate flashing aside from just app APKs but I know in the past, when I wanted to add a system file (new radio, kernel, etc) I just flashed it through CWM and was good to go so I don't really know what happened this time.
As for flashing the radio before the ROM, like I said above, it was the official ICS via Kies (not via CWM) and so I already had the ROM and just wanted to switch the radio out.
Either way, I set everything up last night again, official, and it's actually running a lot better so far.
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

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'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. :/

This is what I noticed.

I get erratic data speeds inside=500-1 and outside I get 3
The problem is the battery drain and signal strength.

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.

Ur input doesn't really help... 10.1 REQUIRES ucmc1 or ruxau7 , neither of which ur using. Try one of those radios and then post results
Edited: UVMB1 as well

Well, if it NEEDS ucmc1 or ruxau7, why have I been running this setup for the past month with no issues!?

You will, or already have had issues you're not aware of.

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
^^^ this is exactly what I said except in a more detailed explanation .

Hey guys
I recently got into the s3 (I know, I'm late to the game...)
I am using the latest elemental X from Nitro...and I love the ROM!
The one thing I noticed is that I can never get above 1 or 2 bars on 4g. Speedtests never go above 4 or 5 Mbps. However, My Bionic will do 25+ in same area.
Any suggestions where I should start investigating?
Thanks!
About the only thing I could suggest is to try another modem and rpm

How was your signal on stock ? ROMs don;t change the radio, so should be the same. Did you make any other changes?

Hmm, to be honest, it seemed ok...
Here is what I did when I got the phone...
I ODIN's back to stock 4.1.2, rooted and unlocked bootloader.
Went into clockwordmod...wiped etc, installed elemental X, and gapps.
Should I have done the OTA update 1st?
I just checked the baseband version..., it says "I535VRBLK3"
Could that be it?
Elemental is aosp right ? If it is then that's you're answer . try a touchwiz ROM and you'll see the bars falling off your screen . tyres ROMs have to do with your signal . touch wiz ril will always be superior to aosp's ril.

Your modem should be VRBMB1 , you are on an older modem/radio version
You should install the latest OEM verizon 4.1.2 full.
Then root and install the ROM you want.
The radio is the radio and custom ROMs shouldn't mess with your actual signal if you install via recovery, but GUI changes to the status bar may cause the display to be different.
Thanks....Thats exactly what I just did....
Stock ROM still giving lousy signal....speeds aren't that much better...
Ill try a touchwiz rom also...

And your modem version is? Data rates might get a little boost from some tweaked ROMs, but actual signal strength won;t, it simply doesn't because custom ROMs still run the stock modem and radio. And the stock ROM IS TW . when I run stock , I get 25+ mbs down in a 4g area, same as on Synergy custom, even when I have only 1 bar I get 10 mbs down

Hmm, forgive me, but which would be the modem version?
I put everything back to stock, rooted for now....
Thanks again my friend!
ive read that hte AOSP roms show less bars but get similar signla.
ive seen it in practice when with my mother.
check the signal strength on TW, then on AOSP and see if theyre equal. my moms stock S3 gets the same signal as my aosp phone does in our location.
Go here. Download the latest. It is an all in one. With the latest trust zone. It may alleviate your problems.
Or not.
I am running the PACMan ROM. And it shows less bars. Yes, it annoys the living daylights out of me. But, the speed is there when I use it and do speed tests. Any way, good luck.
