Radio baseband stuck and wont update! Please help =(

I bought a non-rooted Nexus One off of Craigslist and I updated to frg83d and the radio wont update!
It stayed the same old 5.12.00.08 radio version before and after the update! I dont want to update to gingerbread and have the radio not update again
I know the radio can improve the battery life and reception so what can I do to get the radio updated to the current version?
Also, does anyone know WHY the radio isnt updating? Its the easiest way to brick your N1 and I dont want to have to keep risking bricking my phone everytime a new OS comes out having to manually update the radio if I can avoid it.
Thank you anyone who can please help me pls pls

What radio are you trying to get to?
5.12 is the newest one.

Are you sure? Isnt the most current radio there 4.06.00.12.7?
here is a picture from an Xda thread showing 4.06.00.12.7 after updating to frg83d: i51.tinypic.com/14jrrpi.jpg
If 4.06.00.12.7 is the most current radio then my Nexus baseband radio isnt updating and I would need some help

You really need to learn numbers...

OK the 5.12.08 radios are from the Korean version of the N1. The 4.06 version is the stock radio from the N1s here in the U.S. Soooo what you saw in that picture was someone who got the update of FRG83D with the stock N1 radio from the US. I have the 4.06 radio. It only helps SOME people with better battery life. Your mileage may vary in other words. You HAVE the most updated version. FYI: " believe only half of what you see and none of what you hear"

Yeah I also found an androidspin article here: androidspin.com/2010/09/24/googles-nexus-one-updated-to-android-2-2-1/
The article says I should have the 4.06.00.12.7 (the US version) but for some reason its the Korean version so how could I fix this?
thanks for the responses so far you guys I just gotta get this fixed to the right U.S. radio version.

For god's sake, stop trying to find something wrong with your Nexus.
The korean radio is fine and IS the newest and DOES run better. Keep it and be happy, there is NO point in going back to 4.06.

exactly, well said

Keep in mind that when you flash a ROM it typically does not include a radio. You have to flash the radio separately, preferably using fastboot.

Did you seriously think the 4.xx radio was newer then the 5.xx radio?

[Q]Update

Hi
i'm on stock 4.1.52 but i try settings > about phone > systems updates, it said "your device is up to date!"
there is no 4.1.57 available for me to download? could it be i'm not using at&t simcard?
Help~

theres a lot of threads on these.
just search

any1 could help?

You're running an Atrix that came stock with 4.1.52? If so there might not be an update for you since that was a different build from the att release Atrix. 4.1.57 was only released to fix some bugs. 1.52 might not have had these so no need to update.

yes its come with 4.1.52... and i'm not using at&t could b there d problem?
well i found lots of same case like mine, just wanna to make sure it can update later on

I think the update is only for US devices. May have something to do with it.

then will b bad bad bad... no more update in d future...

Motorola forums had some information regarding the update only being for 4.1.26 phones. I was in beta for 4.1.57, and this issue was raised then from people who were on 4.1.52.

is stock 4.1.52 for bell atrix?

had same problem,I had to flash back to 1.2.6 in order to update to 1.5.7.Check the Android development forums under[GUIDE] Flash SBF to Motorola Atrix 4G.Hope that helps

Still don't have 4.1.83?!?!

I never got the 4.1.83 update? Was it pulled? I'm stuck on 4.1.57 and whenever I check for an update I get the "your phone is up to date" message. Anyone else with this issue? I'm running 100% stock and bought it on launch day...

Gingerblur v.35 is built around the 1.83 as far as the framework and such. It does not however actually update your phone to 1.83. The main update for 1.83 was the radio and allowing HSUPA, which gingerblur does not affect in any way, shape or form. Gingerblur is more or less just a theme... ok, ok, it's a pseudo rom = theme w/ mods & hacks included (not a custom ROM).

i live outside usa and when i connected to wifi i got the update

Your imei has either been blacklisted (for doing something illegal) or they haven't added your imei to their database yet, calll em up and see what's going on

Recieved ICS OTA to 9020A - Getting No Service

I received the OTA for ICS today, and it updated without any problems like some are having. However, since receiving the update, I get NO SERVICE most places. I'll occasionally show 1 bar of service and at that point SMS will come flooding through and send out. I have a 9020A and i'm wondering if they didn't change the radio to the T-Mobile version. Is anyone else having similar issues? I plan on possibly flashing a different radio to the phone when i get home (i'm currently at work)
I'm kinda going nuts. I only recently went to this from an I9000. I haven't even rooted it or flashed any roms. It was entirely stock. I'm admittedly a novice with this phone. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Model: 9020A
Android - 4.0.3
Carrier - Immix Wireless
Baseband - NO DGSXXKI1
Build - IML74K
Kernel - 3.0.8-gb55e9ac [email protected] #1

And why didn't you grab a link before you ran the update? My guess says is you got a failed update and need to reapply.

I'm a noob to all this BUT at the very least I can tell you that you need to flash a different radio since "Baseband - NO DGSXXKI1" indicates a radio that is not going to work.

Is this a troll
Did we just get trolled? Dude that's so cruel.

Grab the radio here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884 and flash it with fastboot. That should get you the proper radio and get your phone back in working order...

I used that guide as a referemce:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396937
You will have to re-flash a radio, if you paid attention, you probably saw a line about flashing a new radio during the process.
Flashing a radio is a quick and painless process if you have the SDK with fastboot installed. (Newer version on Mac doesn't include fasttboot, you have to get it on top of it)
Here's the link to the Radios:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1116884
I suggest you look for your carrier, you might found people recommending different radio for different speed/reception. Get one radio, flash it, test speed and signal and find the one that works best.
You should be all set with those links.

Thanks everyone, I'll try this out in a bit and get back to you. I never read anything about flashing a radio. Again, I got the ota directly from Google... At least wifi is working.

This indicates he's got the wrong ROM. Probably used ROM manager to restore back to stock, leaving him with the i9020t image.

download and copy it to your sd card and flash it in recovery

No OTA update received on my i9020a...

There is another thread around here somewhere. I've been doing so much searching today i cant remember where i saw but, apparently rogers pushed the ota ICS update for a short period of time and then pulled it. I guess i know why now. shouldnt be much longer if the just have to package the proper radio. cross your fingers

thank you, i was just going to use it to update my radio. does this new one work better then the old?

Pardon the interruption, but are you all talking about something that assists in better reception? If not, ignore the dumb question.

I am on the whole UD not the old + the new radio. Back up and try it. It is here just for old roms to get better reception OR crash.

I unlocked my bootloader. Installed TWRP. Backed up root with Voodoo. Forgot to unfreeze bloatware. Took the recent OTA and had partial success as I was upgraded except for the new radio. I installed .78p from the above link and it works fine.

The modem version is in the name ...78p. The newest.

Will this work with say...CM10.1 Leak installed?
[Edit]
Just did it anyways and it does in fact work. Verified in setting and I'm running baseband version: SM_BP_101032.020.32.78P

Does anyone know if this baseband helps Bluetooth at all, or would I need the whole upgrade for that? The release info-graphic Motorola put out says the update improves Bluetooth connectivity, so I am just curious. My Voyager Legend disconnects mid call when wifi is on sometimes.
Thanks!

well i kept putting off installing the new radio as i knew it was going to re-lock it and i would have to do the sim unlock again(not hard do to i just didn't want to swap hard drives). with that being said i installed this Friday night and to my surprise it didn't re-lock the radio. i was shocked as it should have re-locked it but did not so i would say if u are using the sim unlock and want the new radio this is prob the better way to get it over the ota. wifi seems to be performing a little better it only dropped the signal once in my bedroom last night instead of every 5 min like it was doing(yes i know its the phone every other device i have tested doesn't do it). cell signal seems to be about the same, but i am using a net10 att sim so the signal may be better on vzw's towers. i have not tested bluetooth yet as i only have one thing that uses it and that is my moga controller. i am on the 7-30 build of aokp if you wanted to know that.
