Just curious as to whether thee are any custom radios I could flash to increase my signal strength? I pretty much live in a dead zone, which is saying something for Verizon. Can anyone help with this? Thanks!!

If you go to the dev section, there are 2 of the latest radios. With Vramc3 being the last released. You will just have to try them out to see which one works best in your area. Look under the multi thread.
Will do most definitely thanks!!

I was wondering what stable ROM/radio combination people are using for Tmobile. I am using onlyoneics with blaze4g modem in Chicago with great success except my data drops quite frequently. Any suggestions would be great!

Have you tried the VLK5 modem?
I shall give it a try tonight. Thanks for the response!

Using CWM install the stock Tmobile ROM from the nandroid posted on this thread..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1824934
Then install Jeet's Test 4 Modem from here
http://www.mediafire.com/?wtiog4jhcflw8mb
You'll get good data speed's and Tmobile's Wi-Fi Calling feature which is very useful if you are in a place with weak reception.
So I was reading the posts that you put up? I'm not quite sure which is the TMobile ROM. Not only that they said to flash with dd. Hm just a little confused.

Hey guys I've been trying to figure out why my rezound ( after root and s-off) has some crappy signal I have 1 bar and low data service almost everywhere but when I'm outside sometimes even then. From what I can collect its because I never installed a new radio or kernal. I'm not exactly sure what they are though or where to download them. ( sorry it may sound stupid but I'm lost at this point and have given up hope) I also saw something that said a radio is in a kernal. I have cyanogen mod 9 right now with the ics update and was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction of a kernal/radio good for my phone. I'm computer savy installing it won't be an issue but I'm just lost as to where to get it. I appreciate the help on this.

This might sound stupid, but after taking the battery cover off to do the S-Off trick, did you make sure it was back on all the way? the antenna for the rezound is on the battery cover.
Check your antenna tabs and make sure there are none broken off or damaged.

This here would mean I could just flash the files over right? I believe my phone came with ics. It is s off and all I did was install cyanogen 9 with CWM. Did those flash new firmware? It may sound dumb but I just wanna make sure.

No. You can only flash firmware with a PH98IMG.zip or an RUU.

hey, has anyone had any luck getting service on the official JB rom? im using a debloated version of the official JB on the BLAZE modem, my provider is Mobilicty. im getting around 3 bars on the modem but the top of my note is over heating, but i never had this problem on ICS .

thanks for the reply. thats the same one that im using at the moment but the back of my phone keeps heating up when im using mobile data. im wondering is there a different modem that would work on mobilicity?
Heat is normal for me under data usage. Every phone does that.
For the modems, just keep trying different ones until you find the one that works best for you. There is no 100% guaranteed to work modem for everyone. Good luck

Bad news. Phone isn't compatible with 1700mhz frequency. Might be out of luck. Sorry

I'm wrong! Lol thank you for posting Shane. So now it basically narrows down for the best modem that works for you.
There might be a Wind/Mobilicity thread around here somewhere. Wish you luck
Maybe here?

Im with wind and use the telus modem which gets wicked speed. When using a cm based rom yhere is no need to tweak but if using a TW based rom do this trick, go into dial pad and input *#2263# then chose wcdma then pick 850 band, exit out and then go back in again via *#2263# and pick auto, wait a few secs and run a speed test. Mine hits around 2500 to 3000 which kill my hd2 at 1600 to 2000

Hey guys I was messing with some modems and I think I flashed the wrong one and now I can't get signal to make phone calls. Does anyone have a link to the Verizon modems so I can get my signal back. I also tried restoring a nandroid backup but it restores with no signal. Oh yeah is the radio the same as the modem? Thanks.

Yes the radio is the same thing as a modem. Look in the Android Development section.

Right on man! I'm up and running again. Thanks a million, just wondering what's the difference with the different radios?
I flashed all 3 radios and all 3 just give me a 3g signal. Maybe its because I'm indoors, idk, I'll see what it looks like when I step outside.

They were just the radios that were included in the VZW updates, most times there is little difference.
It really depends on what area you are in and how strong your tower is, everyone experiences something different.

Yo bro, um the radios are great but all I get is a 3g signal all the time. I thought if I went outside I might see a 4g but nothing. Is there a 4g radio around where you can point me to. I tried to Google it but it just shows me the radios I already have . I'm in San Francisco and I always get 4g but now just the 3g.

They are all LTE/CDMA/EvDO radios. You should check mobile settings and make sure you have it set to either Global or LTE/CDMA/EvDO. If that doesn't work we need to know what ROM you're on to begin with.

Flash the new radio at the cost of battery life. I noticed big drain with it so I went back to the MDK radio. Just a heads up!
If you wanted to you could back up your current ROM and flash a stock touch wiz ROM and see how the signal is.

I second that. Whenever I run into a fairly serious problem ill revert back to stock to see if its rom related.
