;D can someone make a flashable zip?

#Team MiNCO
**G1→N1→NS→GN→N⁴**

Can be done from fastboot

Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img

Are you sure you are aware of the possible consequences?

I would not recommend it, but there is a chance it will work since that cmd will push it to the correct partition automatically

Just went to .27 from .33 and seen a drastic improvement. I'm in three UK and had been suffering with poor signal and throughput.

Anyone on three should try .27 if you have problems with .33

Well. That depends. If it bricks your device, no it won't work. If it doesn't brick it but it just doesn't work, then yes, you should be able to revert.
Thing is we don't know how compatible the partitioning is. Someone on the optimus g has managed to hack it and make it think it's an N4 so you can flash stock N4 images in it. I haven't read into it, but it is hacked in some way, not a simple images flash. Google "turn optimus g into n4" and read up on that.

Yeah, I've been busy, so I haven't gotten around to looking into it yet. I was waiting to test it out on my device before posting radios from the Optimus G.

I think houstonn has flashed the N4 radios on his Optimus G (I don't have the thread link off-hand), so it gives me quite a bit of confidence that it would work the other way around.

I've seen them posting ril and other stuff as well. I guess we would need that too?

    I've decided to try and compile a list of the available radios for the Nexus 4 so that people have a "one-stop" for all of them.

    Unless stated otherwise, I've pulled all of these myself from either the factory images from Google's site, and packaged them up to be flashable in recovery.

    Notes:
    1) I have no idea what the differences are between the versions.
    2) LTE is disabled in all radios newer than 0.33. If you want to use LTE, you need to use 0.33, 0.27 or a hybrid.
    3) For those on T-Mobile who want to use LTE, see this post. Also see this for a recovery-flashable fix for no audio when using older radios on 4.2.2.
    4) For advanced users: the radios from the Optimus G do also work to a certain extent, but they require kernel patches. See here.
    5) For those that can't tether when using LTE, here are the proper IP tables.

    Standard disclaimer: I take no responsibility if you mess up your device by flashing any of these radios.

    These are flashable in a custom recovery. To flash using fastboot, extract the image from within, and flash that using: fastboot flash radio modem.img

    Downloads are available at this link: Mako Modem Collection. Thanks to bombadier for providing the hosting.

    Note: I have removed all the dev-host links that we were previously using. While in the past, dev-host was an acceptable hosting site, in recent months it has gone downhill -- to the point of having misleading multiple "fake" download buttons and sometimes even offering up malware. I strongly suggest that no one use dev-host as a hosting site for any files going forward.

    houstonn has provided a mirror for some of the N4 radios here.



    Unofficial hybrid radios

    morrislee has done some great work: he replaced the core modem components in 0.84 with those from 0.33 and 0.27. See his posts here and here. This enables us to use LTE and yet have all the newer features (power management, audio on T-Mobile, etc.) from the newer radios.

    See this thread for discussion/information on hybrid radios.
