[Q] what is my radio version?

Hi,
How can I find the radio version installed on my phone?
Does the installation of CM7 updates the radio as well?
Thanks!

I see that I have the version that ends with KB3.
Is that the last one? Did I get it with the CM7?

Yes, you have the latest (KB3).
Ithink it has nothing to do with CM7 because the radio is flashed separately, ok?

Yeah, CM7 doesnt replace your radio. You have to manually push it. Some ROMs may include KB3.

So my baseband it's still KB1, am I missing some great improvements by not flashing the latest baseband? And who developed the KB3 bb? It's trustful?
Thx.

KB1 is a different version of the same radio. I believe its for European models but it is the latest.

I don't think there's a difference between either americans or europeans models since they work on same frequencies.
I bought my nexus in England and used with O2, than I visited USA and used with T-Mobile and I live in Brazil and use it with TIM. He worked flawlessly in all above mentioned networks. All I had to do was pick the networks that used GSM and HSPDA frequencies supported by the Nexus chipset.
Anyway, I flashed the bk3 radio, so let's how he behave the next days. I was getting frequently reboots so far and all happend when I was using something controlled by radio... So fingers cross!

Nexus S 2.3.5

I hate that the nexus s and nexus s 4g have such similar names! It leads to questions like the following.
Has the android 2.3.5 update been released for the standard Nexus S? I mean the non 4g one.

ive been wondering the same thing

Yea, I'd like to know the same aswell

No, it was only a fix for the sprint 4g reception issues, nfc and other bugs at this time.

There are some other improvements mentioned that may apply to GSM devices such as the speakerphone fix, enabling the secure element for NFC (Google wallet support), improved wifi connectivity (perhaps not isolated to CDMA devices) and TTY support. The 2.3.5 changes are being pulled into the CM build per a G+ post.
I don't expect an imminent OTA for GSM devices, but some of the AOSP changes (not baseband related) could be helpful for GSM devices.
Edit: Maybe it will OTA at some point in the near future: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16015703&postcount=7

i noticed faster data connection,
i use to get H once in a wile, but now i notice it more, but still most of the time it's 3g
wifi works perfectly no problems
i never had gps issues, my phone always locked with in a second or 2
and with this ROM it does the same thing, it locked my location within 2 seconds
it also uses the new Market
try it, you can always revert back if you don't like it you can always restore your backup
but remember this is still beta

Hard to answer because "out" is rather vague. There are not different Androids for different phones. The main gingerbread code is at version 2.3.5 and can be built for NS or NS4G or many other phones. But it has not been sent by Google to any phones besides NS4G.

I have a NS4G and have not been sent the code from Sprint yet. Shouldn't I have had it already?

I assume you mean the OTA and not the code. If you mean the OTA, it will roll out over several *weeks*. It is flagged by IMEI/ESN - once you are set for an update any subsequent checkin will yield the OTA notificaiton. Until then you will not see it.

I727R radio and rom???

I took my rogers sg2 lte i727R to a guy who I'm assuming flashed a telus radio. I had him do this that I can use it on WIND mobile and it works 100% on WIND. My question is can I upgrade to ics or even a custom rom without losing or disabling what he did.
model number
sgh i727r
android version
2.3.5
baseband version
T989DTLKJ3
kernel version
2.6.35.11
build number
GINGERBREAD.RUXKJ7
I'm also wondering if there is a different radio or modem, whatever it may be that I can flash that would work a bit better than this one. Thanks guys.

CleanROM recommended add-ons, what are they?

Recommend add-ons by Beanstown106
I535VRBMB1 Modem can be found HERE!
I535VRBMB1 RPM can be found HERE!
^^^ What are these? They're the "recommended add-ons" by JellyBeans at the bottom of the CleanROM post. Anyone know what these are. Is this a radio and something else?
Just curious, if I should flash these or not.

newest modem & radio/
flash them in ^this order////

The VRBMB1 modem and rpm were included Verizon's OTA update from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2. From what I've read, most people have experienced better data reception after flashing these, but some think it made things worse. I've flashed them and don't notice any difference in data, but possibly better GPS reception.

I was updated to 4.1.2 before I flashed the CleanROM, so I should already have these then?

You should. If you go into Settings / About Phone, and the Baseband version (I think that's the modem) should say I535VRBMB1.

Great, thanks. I already do then.

Where can you get the newest radio then? I've flashed the newest modem from goo.im or some website like it, I forgot. But I never saw anything about getting the radio.... Was it kinda a package deal?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Download the radio on the cleanrom page in the android development section. If you're wanting that particular radio. If you have Verizon and update to 4.1.2 then you already have them as established.

Brightness Toggle
Is there anything I can do to fix the brightness toggle on the quick settings panel? For some reason it will only cycle between auto and full brightness and nothing in between...no matter which setting I put it on. Anyone know if there is an additional download for this?

When I first got my S3 for Christmas, I immediately upgraded it to 4.1.2 and then rooted about a week later and installed CleanROM a day or two later! As of right now I'm running JellyBeans 13, but when I check the baseband version it says VRBLK3....should I update the modem and radio to the newest one? I'm always the first one to say if it ain't broke then don't fix it....are there any real benefits? Everything works great for me....Bluetooth, GPS, Wi-Fi, etc...

[Q] Extracting radio/modem from GB2.3.5

Hello, my wife and I both have SGH-I727 (ATT)..they are both unlocked. I use ATT she uses Straight Talk wireless. I have GB 2.3.5 (UCKJ2), she has ICS.
The radio/modem/gps on ICS sucks. In GB is just fantastic. I want to extract the radio from my device, then either CWM apply it from a zip file to her or via ODIN.
How can I do this?
I did find the ATT UCKJ2 modem/radio which on some forum which I was able to apply to her phone via CWM, but the code was apparently locked to ATT and therefore Straight Talk Wireless did not work.
I would therefore like to try to extract it from my phone and apply it to hers.
I have searched and searched but have not found a way to do this. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
THanks!

Have you checked if the apn is the same for the phone that works and the one that doesn't? You may have to manually input the apn.

jd...thanks for the reply...after I flashed the UCKJ2 ATT radio from a thread I found here, I did not check the APN settings. Maybe I did not make it very clear but my ATT SGH-I727 (GB 2.3.5) was not used at all to flashed the Straight Talk (ST) one (ICS). That is what I am trying to do. However,
if you are saying that flashing a new radio may change the target phone APN settings, understood. I can try to flash again (I restored everything back from a CWM backup I had taken before the flashing) and then check the APN settings after the flash to make sure they are still there and correct.
thanks!

I wasn't very clear either. Flash the radio you want to try but then make sure the apn matches the carrier you want to be on.

Hi jd,..I checked the APN settings after flashing the UCKJ2 radio on found on XDA and as I suspected when I hit APN, it told me NO SIM INSERTED error message. That tells me that the radio I flashed was indeed locked to AT&T. So, again here is what I am trying to do
Device 1 Device 2
SGH-I727 Unlocked SGH-I727 Unlocked
Rooted Rooted
CWM Installed CWM Installed
Carrier ATT Carrier Straight Talk Wireless
GB 2.3.5 UCKJ2 ICS 4.0.4 UCLF6
GPS/Rario Perfect GPS/Radio crappy
I want to extract just the radio/modem from Device 1, put it on a zip file and flash it onto device #2.
How can I do that?

Hello xcrazydx,
Would you mind pointing me to them? I have been searching and I did found one UCKJ2 radio as I mentioned but it was locked to AT&T. Are the radios that you re referring to unlocked?
If you can help me locate them I will appreciate it!..

I may be wrong, but I don't believe any of the radios are locked to att. It's the phone that is locked. If you got a no sim error it was probably a bad radio flash. If you look for vincoms one stop sticky in the development forum you'll find links to all sorts of radios.
