[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.
1. Original Shipped AT&T Skyrocket Radio I727ATTKJ2 and RIL
This is the radio that shipped with the AT&T Skyrocket, it is RAT interface locked which means you can't change bands by dialing *#2263#*

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.

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?)

We are getting official 4.1 (Rogers) Late December. Proof inside.

Good News guys we are getting the official 4.1 Jelly Bean as per this post below.

I wonder what about At&t. I'm sure someone will port it or what ever it is. But what about a official?

Why would you care? The same phone. No porting or whatever needed, it's directly flashable. Official Rogers release is better than official AT&T release. You need AT&T junk that any custom ROM removes anyway? I'm sure the ICS stuff will be compatible.

Are you kidding me? AT&T S3s won't get JB until 2028 -_-

It's still gonna be the same crappy TouchWiz filled update we got for ICS. I remember the ICS update - it made the phone worse and it was so laggy. Sure this update might make it a bit faster, but it'll still have TouchWiz and I don't see why anyone would ever go from CM10 to stock 4.1.

Not everyone feels the same way you do, and TW-based custom ICS flies for me. I much prefer it to anything CM has to offer.

The rom doesn't matter What matters is the Source Code! It will help fix cm10 issues like Accessing the sim contacts getting network service mode working and network selection 2g and turning off lte.
This is why I find this important

i dont know whay you mean, on my cm10, all those items are working for me, i can disable lte, use only 2g, and the sim contacts issue what do you mean by that, i can import them from sim card and/or sync with google, btw im on rogers modem with superlite cm10 which was built on oct 11 with no rr's or sod's, im guessing other cm10 builds should have same functionality and stability

SUPERLITE may be based on cm10 but its not cm10 and i am also on rogers modem and i need to force network selection for any of the radio options to work have odin back to stock the unlocked and back to cm10 same issue. and teamchopsticks still has everything I listed as bugs. If you have really fixed them maybe you should submit your source code to them to help get a 100% cm10

its 100% based on cm10, built from their sources, my build is just a stripped down version of cm10, the users on my build have not mentioned any of those issues, i just tested it on my phone and i can disable lte by choosing "gsm/wcdma preferred" mode instead of using "lte/gsm/wcdma " mode in the mobile network settings and there is a seperate setting to enable to use 2g only. maybe its the radio you are using, im on rogers modem which is rat unlocked
edit: just reread ur post and seen that u r on rogers modem, then idk, maybe try my rom and see if it does what u want it to do
when i choose 2g only my signal shows as edge.
when im in an lte area if i choose "gsm/wcdma preferred" i get hspa signal "h+"and not 4g, 4g of course is lte for cm10
now if im "not" in an lte area and i choose "gsm/wcdma preferred" i get the 3g symbol, but if i choose "lte/gsm/wcdma " i get hspa "h+" symbol.
edit: using rogers lte apn btw, when "not" in lte area i might get 3g or h+ when having it set to lte

[Q] JB Radios t-mobile / rogers

Good day people
Im a newb when it comes to radios...
i have rooted / unlocked and installed the cyanogen superlite JB Rom
which i love
Now i'm in canada and traveling to the states in about 2 weeks and i have a prepaid sim cad but its not activated
i have traveled to the states before and used the t-mobile pay by the day plan but could never get any better than 2g connectivity because i have the stock rogers radio...
after doing some reading i have learned that i need to flash another radio... i have flashed different roms etc so i know i can do it...
but im unsure of a few things.
is there a radio that is universal? which will give me 4g / lte on rogers and t-mobile so i dont have to flash when i get off the plane?
if not what are some radios that will work with JB and give me 4G connectivity with T-mobile?
also what radio would i want to revert back to stock rogers / att radio?
i know everyone one says try different ones but im in a different country so i would like to have everything ready to go as soon as i land...
Thanks

Rom...
I am not sure about that specific Rom, but I know with the Official Team Chopsticks version - they list UVLE1 as the radio.
I know that some Roms have modified radios/kernels so check with the Rom Dev for which one he recommends as he knows what he has baked into the rom...
If you are really scared about it, download several and have them handy on your SD card and when you get here you can simple try several and see if one yields better connection speeds for you.
As far as reverting for ATT/Rogers I believe UCLI3 is the latest but might not be the best for your area... UCLF6 was our previous radio and I get good results with both..
Just make sure you make a GOOD nandroid backup and try them all....
Good luck!

tmo uses a different frequency than rogers/att, so the tmo compatible radio has to be flashed, to my knowledge noone modified a rogers/att radio to work with tmo's 3g 4g, im not sure they have lte, theres a few threads on which tmo radio works well with the skyrocket, and remember to add the tmo's apn. need ics radios to work with jb roms. read the links below

I am also in Canada, have had great luck using the T-Mobile card, but unfortunately not with getting my speed up. I did try downloading several different radios and flashing them while in the US.
Unfortunately it went from 2g data to no data or reception whatsoever. So I restored to my nandroid backup and continued on with 2g.
Just wondered though, did you say ics radios are compatible with jellybean? I've been wanting to make the jump to jellybean on Rogers, but wasn't sure if I'd lose my Lte speeds. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Help needed i9305t with i9305 firmware but no 4g

Hey guys
Flashed my Telstra i9305T with the unbranded hong Kong firmware from Sammobile using Odin today, all went well except no matter what I do I can't get it to connect to Telstra 4G. Only data I can get is HSDPA+. I've set all the APIs up but still mothkng . Has anyone else had this issue or know what can can do to fix it? I've spent all night on Google and can't find squat
Any help is greatly appreciated otherwise I'll attempt to ref lash the Telstra bloated from tomorrow
Cheers

1st wrong section. Should be Q&A
2nd flash a 9305T modem. That will then give you 4g back.

so I have no choice but to CWM and root it I take it
that being the case
is this the correct procedure for i9305T
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1914394
Coming from nexus devices only so its a little more complex than im used to haha

OK have installed CWM. do I need root to flash the modem or is cwm enough?
Basicaly once I have Hongkong firmware and can flash the modem that's all I want to do so the less extra stuff I need to put on it the better

ok guys
thanks for putting up with my noobishness.
I have now got HK firmware, CMW and Telstra modem running and have 4g again
Big thanks to you both.
Just wanting to confirm ill now have to manuall flash updates from sammmobile as the combo of modem and firmware wont allow OTA's.
each time I flash the latest version of JB/KLP ill need to reload the Telstra modem (unless there is a newer version)
Thanks for all your help again.

If you have a 9305t with telstra you can use either one of the 9305t modems. I haven't done a speed test but for me I am getting a better signal strength with the newer UBALK2 modem then with the DVALI5. I have a 9305t on the telstra network

Could anyone who's using the UBALK2 modem help me, please? I'd like to know if the UBALK2 modem has support to 3G on 1900MHz frequency. Samsung says the I9305TUBALK2 baseband has support to the following frequencies, but I never trust them

It is from Claro PR and the box says it is 4G LTE.
I only get H+ at less than 7 Mbps down and no more than 1mbps up. With my S4 I get between 6 to 22 mbps down and 5 to 12 up.
Any Idea what could be the problem. I'm using the stock ClaroPR firmware posted here and all I get is H+.

Yeah there are basically two versions of the GSM LTE RAZR HD - one supports 700 / 1700 / 2100 and I think is only available in Canada, whilst the other version supports 800 / 1800 / 2600, and is available in Lat Am and Europe.
Sounds like you have the second version, which as rafjak says, will not work with either T-Mobile or AT&T LTE

You can't use LTE, it's not compatible.

If the only problem is not having lte then yes.
The modem is flashed since the beggining. So you would need to reflash you rom.
You extract the modem file from what ever rom has the correct file had replace the one youre using. Or simply flash a rom with the correct modem file.
I had the brazil retail rom since it is bloatless from the get go.

Well I can tell that with At&t as provider I get H+ with data.

Can any one confirm if I could get LTE by flashing other modem and what modem should I use?
I just downloaded and tried Rogers Canada Modem and it did not work. All I still get is H+.

I'm using a Fido RAZR HD (original, not reflashed), and it works fine on T-Mobile LTE (same bands at AT&T I think).
Are you sure you have an LTE-capable SIM card? And also your plan includes LTE access? Are you using a direct AT&T plan, and not an MVNO (e.g. Aio).

Yes I'm sure I have LTE card and plan. I understand that T-Mobile Band is completely different from AT&T band... or am I incorrect?
I found this on Wikipedia and it seems that they are not so different. Can someone explain this to me?
Operator Country Frecuency (MHz) Band
AT&T Puerto Rico 700 c 17
AT&T Puerto Rico 1700 d e 4
Claro PR (PRTC) Puerto Rico 700 b 17
T-Mobile PR Puerto Rico 1700 f 4

So, I have LTE that only works on AT&T frequencies... I need it to work on the Europe frequencies 800/1800/2600. Is there a way I can change the modem files without reflashing? I got root, but locked bootloader... :s

I have the same issue. I have phone from Claro PR but I am from Europe. The LTE does not working due to wrong frequency.
Should I upload a new modem driver ? or should I flash my phone ? What is less harmful for my phone
My phone is rooted and I have unlocked bootloader.
