[Radio]Skyrocket Radio Thread

Here are cwm zips for the radios we have available at this time(that work). These will work for both the AT&T Skyrocket and the Rogers Skyrocket, take your pick I will be updating this thread as new radios become available. Please do not ask for the Japanese SC03DDCMKK3 radio, it does not work properly with our device.
Included in these zips:
mdm.bin
amss.bin
RIL
How To Flash:
Install with clockworkmod like you would any other zip.
I have tested these myself, as well as others on IRC and they have worked fine. I am not responsible if something goes wrong for you.

So you mean that once we flash to the 2.3.6, we can't just go back to .5?

why would you think i meant that lol...I need someone who has already flashed the 2.3.6 update to extract the radio from their device and send it to me so i can make cwm zips for everyone else to try Using this method to flash radios there is no verification check for upgrade/downgrade, so you can flash them back and forth all you want.

Thanks for doing this!!! I ended up going out after work so didn't get to it like I planned. If you don't mind I'll just link to this thread but you'll probably be stick-ied too. TA.

Your welcome, and if it needs to be stickied say the word...I can do that myself hehe.

I flashed nandroid to 2.3.6 so I have it available if needed.
Edit: Well after further investigation I read that nandroid back-up does not contain radio...so, oops

Thanks. Finally able to update my radio. Much appreciated for the effort.

For AT&T, which radio has the best reception in you're opinion...

After much testing, the current selection of radios seem to offer no difference in performance, the major difference is that the Rogers radio is RAT unrestricted vs. RAT restricted AT&T radio, which allows you to type "*#2263#" in the dialer and set the phone to 2g only, 3g only, 4g only, etc.

Picked a band, and I can't get signal anymore. Reflashed TPC v3, nothing. New modem, nothing...

FIXED IT! Apparently taking out my SIM card and putting it back in fixed it.

I'm running KK1 and can dd a partition if that's what you need. PM me or message me on irondust(lart).

Hey, noob question but whats the point of flashing this radio lol? Does this actually allow you to use the radio that the skyrocket was supposed to come with but doesnt have an app for?

These are the firmware that control the Cellular Radio, DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and various bootloaders, not the FM radio that may or may not be part of our bluetooth chipset
BTW, AT&T 2.3.6 KK1 radio coming up shortly courtesy of lart, I'm just packaging it up now

Thanks for the fast apply, I appreciate it =) I wish we could get the radio to work on the phone if it really is built in

Did anyone take close up photos of our motherboard yet?
There are various FM radio drivers contained in the kernel, but all of them are disabled @ stock config. No idea if the chip is actually present or not, or if it is, if it's physically wired to the headphone jack (FM radio uses headphone cord as antenna generally speaking)
Close up pics of the motherboard would tell us if it's there or not

I just tried out the rogers radio (I am on ATT) and I was getting extremely low data speeds on EDGE, UMTS, and HSPA+ (10kBps) (tried both phone and PTA apns). Making calls worked fine though.

Flashed the radio and am playing around with the bands using 2263, looks like I can force EDGE by selecting GSM (I assume we should select the 850/1900 for AT&T) and can force hspa by selecting the WCDMA)
How would I force it into 3G only mode, (UMTS?)

3G on Xoom no longer working after flashing Tiamat ROM

Hi everyone.
I've bought my Motorola Xoom 3G 32GB from the internet and it came with the "international" firmware.
3G used to work all fine with any carrier I try until I flashed Tiamat ROM for all the advantages it supplies.
It just can't find a carrier (which is probably US Verizon).
Is there any way I can regain my 3G back?

Well its been a couple days. Has the 3g kicked in yet by itself?
I went ahead and unlocked my zoom yesterday and when it booted back up I didn't have 4g service kinda like you.
I tried finding some APN settings but the xoom wont let me edit them anyways. By the end of the night I went back to try and fix it again and I noticed it had connected again by itself.
I would try calling the carrier you prefer and get them to reset the APN. Moto might do it if you leave out the rooting part.
If its like phones it might be a case of flashing the multiCSC. Because on my old captivate the multicsc was the international unlock you described.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App

Well, I'm in this state for moths and still didn't regain my 3G back.
And, is there any way I can re-flash the files which determine the carrier alone?
Or alternatively, isn't there a way to manually compile Tiamat ROM with the international build files for universal support?

well you could go back to stock and that should work to get 3g-

I really like this ROM and don't want to go back to original.
That's why I'm asking for solutions '{: (

Look in the Development Section. TeamEos ICS Nightly is now available for 3G/4G...not sure if it supports international 3G yet, but they're working on it. The ICS rom, while still in alpha/beta stage (missing binaries for cameras) is stable and smooth and has tons of functionality.

Thanks okantomi!
I hope this ends my dilemma (fingers crossed).

It's the one for Stingray (the 3G/4G model).

im in 3.2 stock rom rooted with tiamat kernel oc gpu and 3g works like charm.the system is very fast and respoding good.

I will TRY flash 727(ATT) to 727R(Rogers)

Hello
I used ATT i727 in South korea.
ATT ROM have too many bloatware and can't use wifi hotspot(its only applied on ATT SIM or ATT network) and can't select
WCDMA Only network mode.
SO I decide rogers rom flash on my ATT i727.
I headr that SGH-i727 and SGH-I727R are perfect same hardware.
But....I am very afraid my phone will be bricked.
I think ODIN solve a problem... I hope...ODIN GOD please help me.
Am I mad? hehe

i think quite a lot of people have already tried that. So it shouldn't have any problem.

Good information!!
Thanks athris.

This ROM is based on Rogers, and works great. I've been on it for a month or so and haven't had any issues
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1357506

Thanks for all information.
I just changed my skyrocket to Rogers rom via odin.
But....custom rom count +1 increased.
I already forgive free 1year warranty because korea samsung won't get International samsung phones.
Rogers rom allow any carrier sim using wifi tethering.
I think Rogers more stable than att rom..

[Q] Radio problems... HELPPPPP

hi guys! i need your help. i upgraded today to SKY ICS 4.2F - 1.5, ICS RUXLF3 RADIO and my data network it's not working. two days ago i flashed SKY ICS 4.2E R5GOO with 17-ish, ICS UCLE2 RADIO. i have a sgh-i727r "rogers" phone but im with fido. yesterday i upgraded to rogers ics 4.0.4 through kies and the data network was working perfect, today i flashed SKY ICS 4.2F - 1.5, ICS RUXLF3 RADIO and my data it's not working. i tried everything that i could find on xda and internet. flashed radio 3x, wiped data, cache, *#2263#, i even called fido and got the apn info. i still have no data network but everything else works fine.
PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU

Did you check the apn settings
Never mind just noticed that you tried the fido apn
Sent from my SGH-I727R using XDA

is it showing a signal? if so the radio is installed fine

yes, i have phone network but no data network. am i doing something wrong? i tried all modems UCLE2, UCALC4, on these it's says that i can't use data roaming outside US even though i have roaming on my fido plan and im in canada....

be sure its checked in your mobile settings. use data roaming

it's on. i flashed the rom ics4.2f -2 + ruxlf3 radio at least 3 times. it's killing me, should i reformat the internal sdcard? and i have the correct apn settings i got them from fido and from my previous version of ics4.0.4 from rogers when it was working

Do you have the network mode set to LTE/WCDMA/GSM?

Just for ****z and giggles have you tried restoring to default apn?

redownload the radio and maybe even the rom or do a checksum on them, (bad download of radio most likely the problem, did u initially flash the radio when u did the rom)
u can flash the stock rogers ics firmware from sammobile to c if u get data, read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1652398
if u do get data just follow seans op but dont flash the radio, wiping/formatting does not wipe the radio
fido has no lte, no 4g. what band where u getting when it was working
what apn is fido telling u to use
make sure fido resets ur internet, tech support does that, not customer service reps
edit: just read what u posted after, " i tried all modems UCLE2, UCALC4, on these it's says that i can't use data roaming outside US even though i have roaming on my fido plan and im in canada...."
thats ur best clue, where or how does this message pop up, r u sure u flashed rogers version and not the att version
if stock ics worked, u must of mucked something up, wrong version flashed or bad download of rom

i am also using a rogers i727r with fido and had the same problem initally.
signal showed strength but no data.
you have to setup the APN. once i had the correct fido apn, i was able to get 4G-LTE no problem.
search google for "fido android apn" ..there's an actual fido page that shows you how to setup a droid with the fido apn settings.
i can confirm UCLE2 and RUXLF3 radio's work 100%. i didn't try the others but from what i've read, they all work.

u actually got lte from fido, damn i could of stayed w/them, i really really hate rogers
did u do any speed tests to confirm, and which apn did u use
so nibnion, did any of this work for u
edit: just got a pm from nibnion saying he reslved his problem, the error was he was given wrong apn from fido, hes is now using the fido-core-appl1.apn but doesnt not get lte, gets 4g but only 2mbps
from what ive read u need a lte sim card and an lte apn to get lte, rogers is ltemobile.apn, without that ur not going to get lte, and of course b in a lte area

I think it 4G. The icon at the top of my screen says 4G and my phone was automatically setup with a Fido LTE apn. I had to manually add the regular one. Strange.
I'll do a speed test and confirm.

the reason i doubt u can get lte from fido is they dont even offer any phones that r lte, so they wouldnt even support u if u couldnt get lte

i feel for u

i got it guys, you have to manually set up APN, the problem is that you need to have 2 APN's. very strange, when i had the ICS 4.0.4 stock from kies a few days ago i saved the APN info and used them on SKY ICE 4,2F and it didn't work, i had to manually do different settings. you would think that they should work from 4.0.4 to 4.2F.... strange...
finally they let me post now...
vincom what's the difference between
SKY ICS 4.2F R1 (ROGERS) (STOCK EMAIL)
SKY ICS 4.2F R1 (ROGERS) (GOOGLE EMAIL)
im not aware of a stock email? am i wrong?

Stock email i beleive is more geared towards exchange and corporate mail. Google is gmail.

Installing CM9 on skyrocket will allow to choose 2G/3G network?

I have brought an unlocked version skyrocket from at&t. Since I stay in India, we don't have a 4G and it's shame to say not even full 3G coverage here as of yet.
My question is when I move into 3G coverage area I see 4G instead of 3G and I feel battery drains quite fast during data usage under 3G (or 4G for phone). So I heard in Roger version of skyrocket and some custom roms allow switching off 4G completely ( 4G/LTE/HSPA+). So does cyanogenmod 9 allow such feature to disable 4G connectivity which is not there on at&t rom? Anybody who has already flashed CM9 on at&t skyrocket can reply so I can root this device and go for CM9 or other stable that allows such feature.
Thanks.

Where in India..? How did u manage to get carrier signals... I struggled a lot to get the signals, I had to flash stock ics uclf6.. may b d radio in it was the thing did it...
Into the topic,.. yes u can switch 2g/3g... you don't need to root ur phone... u can flash a recovèry using Odin.. then flash the custom rom... u get root if the rom is pre rooted... if not u can flash su... I'm using sky ics now but I'm unable to switch network mode.. people say it might b radio prob..
Pls post back if u succeed with cm9..

Yes, CM9 allows it. I'm on TeamChopsticks' CM9 and the option to switch is available in the Wireless and Networks setting.
However, do understand that you need a RAT unlocked radio. That's actually what allows you to switch to 2G on the skyrocket -- having a RAT unlocked radio. You can find a list of radios in this thread.

Hi!
That's what I was about to say: if I understood correctly what I read, having a ROM that allows you to choose between network modes (LTE/HSPA/GSM) is not sufficient. Your radio should also be unlocked -- like Rogers' radio. Changing the settings in your ROM when you use a locked radio -- like AT&T's radio -- would have no effect.

I've tried using this feature in CM9 and it doesn't seem to work. It was noted on their list of problems but I don't know if it was ever resolved. I have an unlocked RAT and I still can't get it to work right. Somewhat annoying because during the day I'd like to have it to save battery, but basically I gave up on trying to get it to work.

Sorry that doesn't seem to work. That may only work in Touchwiz based OSes, but in CM9 it's not doing anything.

Reported this belongs in q&a or the developers thread itself not in the general section.

Yes, I have rooted my new skyrocket with cwm touch recovery and flashed CM9 Stable version and it seems to working perfectly for me. .

You mean I need to unlock my phone in order to get this to work? I didn't have to fully unlock my Nexus 1 to do it. Is it different with the Skyrocket?

No you have to use a rogers radio rat unlocked isn't the same as unlocking the phone

odin to rogers stock flash rogers stock ics modem first. Then root and install cm9.

I tried doing the ODIN with the Rogers ROM and it kept failing. I had to then install a custom recovery and then flash CM9.1 and it still didn't work. Before trying this I tried another ROM (Embryo) to see if that could toggle and it couldn't either. :crying:
