[Q] NS4G - Sprint D720 Radio

Hi. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I haven't been able to find proper info and afraid to flash the wrong thing.
I'm looking to make sure I have the latest radio(s) for my phone.
I have the NS4G D720 (Sprint variant) and i don't see radios listed for it in the stickies. Is one of the i920s radios a match or is there simply no new flashable radio update available for the D720? In which case, I'm still surprised that no one has made the stock one available for download in case of a brick?

Latest radio for the ns4g is ke1 .........
Edit*** Wow! Didn't realize I had done that! Thought I had the right link...my apologies! !!
Long days and pleasant nights............

How did I not see that. I spent 2 hrs last night scouring.
Thanks!
KE1 I assume is the latest but breaks native tethering?
Edit: Btw, what does this radio include? Just the cellular radio or also the wimax?

Yea I think everything bcuz my 4g is workiing. Overall a lil faster than b4

It is your baseband radio. It gives the best settings and tweaks for the best reception. So there is no separate 4G radio you need to flash. If you plan to flash CM7 or any custom ROM the tethering will work.

March 2012 baseband.

I'd like to know what differences those of you who have used the update tool are experiencing with the new baseband. Signal strength? GPS? Battery life? I'm using the one from July 2011, but I don't know what the differences (if there are any) between the two. Also, does the new bb need a different ril as well? I, think I saw something about v21y? Any help would be appreciated

Don't know the difference, but attached is the ril file you need for the new baseband. I've also sent an email to the developer of getril so he'll update it soon, I hope. Just extract it to /system/lib.

Sweet, thanks. I guess I'll flash the baseband and use this ril and report my findings.

I just installed the updated LG rom with the new baseband and android 2.3.4 today and it seems to have better signal. As for GPS I'm not sure because I never had a problem with it before. And I can't say anything about battery life yet as I just installed it around noon.

Just read that some people are having problems making calls on anything but stock roms after updating baseband. Anyone else got that issue?

I updated to the new stock v21y,
so far iv noticed the obviously new bb,
the key bored seems different, and the touch screen seems more responsive and snappier, if that makes any sence...
but i have also noticed that the colors seem brighter and more crisp.. can anyone els confirm that or is it just me?

Yeah, I heard the keyboard got updated. I think the kernel is the same, so I don't know about the touch responsiveness. Could you do me a favor and flash a custom rom (anything other than stock), use the ril posted above, and let me know if you can make/receive calls?

Does not show the RIL for V21y,

hey look up at the begining of this thread someone posted a link to the new ril with instructions.
It is in the second post

So far, here are my impressions regarding v21y:
* Battery life: I have been off charger for 10 hours now, and battery has only just slipped down to 80%
* Signal: Any residual signal issues that were not fixed with v21e and T-Mobile's repurposing have been fixed on my end.
* Swype: The built-in Swype keyboard has been updated with a new interface that takes a bit to get used to.
* Browser: Open Window limit reduced to 4 (from 8 in v21e)
* General speed: It does seem a bit faster and more responsive than before. A quick check with Quadrant on my phone gave me a score of 2147
Other than that, it's not much different than v21e.

I see, I see. Well it seems there are some benefits but, for me, they don't outweigh the fact that I wouldn't be able to use any other roms for now. I'll hold off on the new bb until our devs find a way to work with it.

Same handset so should work fine, however LG has already pulled it from the official update tool.
At this point the only option is to use the offline KDZ flash method.
Edit:
Please follow this thread and look for Core Memory's detailed instructions regarding the KDZ method:

Radio and modem questions

OK since this is a question I'm assuming that I post this here so if I'm wrong sorry. And I have searched for answers to these questions on xda and Google and if info is out there I can't find it so if someone knows where it is point me in the right direction and I'll read the info myself as I'm not to lazy to research info when I can find it now that that's out of the way my questions are as follows...
1. What does the modem in my phone control the wifi or data and basically what does it do? The quick version will be fine.
2. What does the radio do and controll? Quick version OK.
I just updated to the latest ics leak that came out a couple of days ago I think it UCLD2 correct me if I got that version wrong. I've also tried UCALC4 and with neither I get many bars. On gingerbread I got 2 or 3 bars in my home recliner with UCALC4 I got 1 and with UCLD2 this new leak I get 0. I've read flashing the galaxy note radio will fix this if so I need a link to that radio with instructions on flashing it in cwm. And if that radio does not fix the problem can I flash back to this one or maybe a gingerbread one?
And lastley I'm getting a notification at the bottom of my screen every few minutes that says connected to belkin wifi etc. I did not get this on gingerbread is this also a radio problem or a modem problem or a tottaly different issue? And what can I do to fix it? Should I just restore the backup of gingerbread I made and wait for the official update whatever year that may be lol?
Thanks ahead of time for any help or advice...

I typed "android phone modem" in Google and got an answer on the first page, I'm sorry but I highly doubt u searched anything. None the less, as a new user I will spoon feed u this one time
Radio and modem are interchangeable terms used on CDs to basically describe the firmware used to control your phones cellular radio. Different firmwares enable different functions and frequencies. Basically with no modem, u have no cell data, or signal. No calling, no texting, nothing
UCLCL5 has been pulled due to it causing too many instability issues. getting a phone that works with it is luck of the draw. Use leeC UCLA3 radio for ics instead
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24227420

Sorry but I typed in cell phone modem and of course with that all I got was ways to connect your PC to the internet thru the cell phone. Didn't think about putting android in cause I figured modem would be in all phones oh well I will try that too see what I come up with. I'm in a real wooded very rural area so im not sure if the radio is the main problem I do know other phones like pan tech link a non smart phone gets full signal here but none of our android phones do. My main concern is the wifi saying connected every few minutes and my connection seeming like its slower that problem I did not have on gingerbread or UCALC4 is anyone else having these issues on the new leak
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA

OK I flashed that modem that you gave me the link to then rebooted and BAM!!!!!! Instant signal bars... Thanks man you are awesome and I may be a noober but I'm learning a lot fast thanks to guys like you. I am a computer programmer/web developer/ net worker but phones are new to me but I'm learning in many ways there similar but in other ways miles apart... But thanks again.. oh yea by the way in baseband version it says UCALC4 but in build number it says UCLD2 but the modem I flashed said UCLA3 so I'm not sure what that's all about but its working so if it ain't broke you don't go messing with it...
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA

yeah, you'll learn about that as u go along, but they're basically different build numbers. UCLD2 is the newest, UCLA4 is the previous ics leak build, and UCLA3 is actually a gingerbread radio (2.3.6), but it works really well.
If I helped I u, and if others do in the future, hit the thanks button!

Yep, I used LeeC's UCLA3 modem for a good while. I tried the others but kept going back to it for the connectivity. Of course, everyone's phone and conditions differ so you have to try anything for yourself before you know if it is going to work for you. Like mentioned, it will probably show "Unknown" for a baseband, but it works. I am using the latest ICS modem (UCLD2) now with the Alien 7 ICS ROM and it seems to work just as well as the UCLA3 modem did for me.

+1 my wifi is even much faster and alot better range on ucld2 radio. Ucld2 is in every aspect. Far superior
Smoother. Faster. Less bugs
And easier to build from
I built my new rom. The ucld2 one. And did the themeing. In 1 afternoon.
Of course i have a great setup i ended up with from dealing with. The other leak. But i still say its much more refined

The UCLA3 modem worked good for me no doubt but as you said every phone is different and I like to try new things and stay cutting edge so I flashed the UCLC5 modem out of the galaxy note and my download speeds are faster with it but like you said it seems to depend on the phone itself and I would suggest anyone who is gonna try a new modem to try each one for a day or two to see which one is the right fit for your specific phone...

Yea, it worked OK for me (a few fc's in the background) but nothing major, but I too have read about the troubles some people get from the Note modem. Like you said, its probably not worth the gamble...especially now that UCLd2 modem is out.

Scott can you post a link to a zip file for the UCLD2 modem. The post I seen it in the other day I can't find now. I lost all my favorite XDA forum posts when I upgraded to premium. I want to try it on my wife's captivate just for an experiment.....

Custom ROMs usually have the modem stripped from the update to make the .zip smaller and also because you can flash them at will. (I have all modems on my internal just to switch modems when I go out of state.)
But as a friendly reminder, please think through how big 4.4.3 was and next time Google search what you're looking for, you wouldn't have been waiting for us to tell you this if you had. "4.4.3 Nexus 5 modem"
Here's the link if you can't find it however. All the best.

Sorry if I misunderstood all thing.

Oh I see, I didn't know this bug existed,
I just assumed it was related to poor signal sorry.

I seen that before, I just don't have a problem anymore since switching radios, and mine cuts out bad on 5.1 radio.
