I wish know why the radio modem presented in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514095
is 64 mb,
While the original one
radio-hammerhead-M8974A-1.0.25.0.17.img
and
radio-hammerhead-m8974a-1.0.25.0.23.img
directly extracted from the original factory images are about 41 mb....
Not sure. But when I backed up my own radio (official radio via OTA) manually it came out to 64 MB too.

Question about restoring stock via ZIP vs RUU. I noticed that certain imgs are skipped if the same version is already present if flashing via ZIP. Does the RUU flash everything regardless of the version detected?

Hey, writing this from New Zealand on D821 Nexus 5 unlocked.
I have recently updated my Nexus 5 to 4.4.3 and it seems great with improved battery life and all.
However it is really buggering me off that I can't connect to 4G anymore. All I am getting is H+.
My phone setting is on 4G (recommended) for data and I have rebooted the device a few times just in case.
If you know any way I could try and resolve this problem, please help me out.
Cheers
Is your bootloader unlocked? I'd flash the 4.4.2 radio. Sounds like that worked better for you. If you have a custom recovery there are some zip files too you could flash

Yea, my N5 is not rooted. It is just the 4G connection issue. I am very happy with every other aspect of the update though.

You don't need to be rooted. Flashing a radio from fastboot just needs an unlocked bootloader
I've seen many complaints regarding this new radio. It's great that we have a nexus and can roll back to anything we want to

Hey, thanks for your reply. So, do you mean that I can use the previous 4.4.2 radio setting with all the other 4.4.3 features remaining the same?
Could you be able to provide me with a link to 4.4.2 radio bootloader please?
Cheers

Yes. If your boot loader is unlocked just fastboot flash the radio
fastboot flash radio radio.img
Get radio.img out of the factory image. Google nexus 5 factory image. Download it and extract it. In there is another zip file, extract that too. There you find the radio.img

Just thought that I would get this made for a back up. I extracted the modem.bin right out of the LGD850AT-01-V10d-310-410-JUN-19-2014+0.tot file and threw it into a flashable .zip file. So if you ever mess up your modem, flash this and it should fix your problem. I used it and worked amazing.
Thank you to Google on finding some .tot extractors and Skin1980 for the modem.zip that I used and replaced with our modem
Download:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_m4yeYqRm63c0YwX0JnUGFjQ00/view?usp=sharing
can't download.. just lists the files within the zip:/
no download link
It worked on the computer. There was an download option. Maybe try to put it in desktop mode?

The baseband (radio) doesn't appear to have been updated in 10f. It displays the same version number as 10d.
Cannot flash the boot.img file.
It's in the "image-hammerhead-lrx210.zip
Any ideas?
If I try to flash everything manually. It can't load system.img.
Not sure I understand the question. You say you can't flash the boot image or system image?
Sent from my Nexus 9 using XDA Free mobile app
I can flash the boot.img manually by fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then if I try fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, it will say it's too large.
If I use fastboot -w update image-hammerhead-lrx21o.zip it will say the boot.img file is missing.

Did you extract the update image? In there you'll find the boot image and other images. Flash each of those manually

You need to download grim Google and extract the file you download. Did you flash the bootloader first then fastboot reboot-bootloader?

Yes, I flashed the bootloader first, then rebooted. I'll try again.
So I got it to work...
I think last night I assumed I rebooted the bootloader...
So yeah....
Is there an order that I should flash in?
Ran into it again. Don't remember the order I did a few hours ago.
Why not just use the included flash-all.bat in the update? It does it all for you
As I've said.
That doesn't work. At the end, after it says flashing radio, it will saying missing boot.img.
Here's the order I'm trying...
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash system system.img
And that's where I get the error I can't load it.

Sorry, I didn't see anywhere where u mentioned flashing the flash-all.bat file.
You could possibly be using a USB 3.0 port which sometimes gives me issues. It will hang on radio or bootloader. I'll unplug and try again from a USB 2.0 port and it will work. It's worth a shot, although it doesn't sound like it's the same issue.
Did you check MD5? Could be a bad download

16gbs of ram lol.
I did it last night. But then I couldn't take pictures, or save screenshots. So I was trying to flash it again.
Should I do a full wipe, then flash the bootloader, followed by boot, then system?

Oh I thought I mentioned it.
I'm using 2.0.
Should I try 3.0?
How exactly do I check MD5..?
Last night I flashed it. But I went to flash it again since I couldn't take pictures or save screenshots.
So now that I'm home, I thought I would attempt this again.

At this point I'd try the flash-all.bat file. It well wipe your device. Boot into the bootloader and then in a command window on your pc opened in the same folder as the flash-all.bat start with fastboot devices. If your device is connected then double click the flash-all.bat file.

Hi
I'm currently running 5.0.1 stock rooted with TWRP recovery.
I'd like to downgrade to 4.4.4 to test maps and GPS.
Currently maps has me approx 15+ mtrs away and the orientation is wrong with me pointing in the wrong direction.
Do I simply need to download the image from Google and then clear system and cache, then flash the 4.4.4 system, cache and boot images ?
Will I need to downgrade the boot loader or radio ?
Thanks

If you flash the complete 4.4.4 image everything (bootloader, radio and the system image) will be flashed and you`re phone will be wiped, so backup everything first before the flash. Just type in cmd: flash-all.

Try a different radio modem. There were posts a while ago saying people had gps issues on anything newer than the 4.4.2 radio
