[Baseband/Radio] UGKL1

---

This radio is for GSM Galaxy Nexus devices running Android 4.0.3-based ROMs (IML74K).

I have uploaded the UGKL1 baseband, which has indeed appeared as a post in other threads, but has not received a concise thread of its own. As implied by the file name, it can be flashed with CWM.

In my testing, it improved my HSPA performance over UGKK7, but of course your mileage may vary.

Deciphering Samsung baseband codes:

UG = North America
XX = Europe

K = 2011 (11th letter of the alphabet)

L = December (12th letter of the alphabet)

# = Revision number

This means the radio is approximately one month newer than UGKK7, which breaks down to a North American radio from November, 2011.

//EDIT: Support confirmed for 850/1900/AWS via Rogers Canada and Mobilicity SIMs.

NOTE TO WIND MOBILE USERS:
as I've mentioned before, this radio causes problem for users on Wind Mobile. It does not detect roaming as roaming & will not shut off data roaming even if the option itself is turned off. This means that users will be getting HUGE phone bills. My Galaxy Nexus came with this radio default so I had to flash the XXKK6 radio to fix the issue. Just putting this out there as an FYI for everyone.
The only downside is that this baseband (KL1) has better reception than XXKK6
I am not alone in having this problem as there is a whole thread full of people having the same issue. I was the one who figured out the fix for everyone
I had the same problems with the UGKK7 radio as well, but again flashing the XXKK6 radio fixed the issue. So far i've only seen Wind Mobile users having this problem.

Anyone know how this performs on tmo us? XXKK6 seems to give me the best results

I can confirm that UGKK7 hasn't given me any roaming issues nor extra charges in the couple weeks i've been using it with WIND, although my Virgin Mobile phone originally came with UGKL1 (another great reason bootloader unlocking should be allowed on every phone!).

What advantages do you find with KK6 over KK7? I've noticed slightly more reliable signal and speed going from KK6 to KK7 but would switch back if you believe the roaming issue prevails. Could it just be that I manually chose WIND Home instead of auto select?

Yes the manual select would prevent roaming/Try auto & see if it roams onto wind away but doesn't detect it as roaming

can u pls upload to dropbox or some other site? its not downloading right.

Maybe it's my device, but every time I download the file it fails the md5 check.

Well I just installed KK6 again and it's not working well at all... suddenly my download speed is almost half and it barely uploads. It's the same room where it was working a lot faster with KK7 so I think I may switch back and just manually select WIND Home like before.

If I'm doing that anyway could I just do that with KL1 too? I don't plan on roaming anytime soon so manually setting WIND Home would be ok?

I haven't really noticed a change in speed on my end....

Added another download source and moved it to the primary position. MD5 sum confirmed correct.
