Hello all.
I know I, among others are delaying updating to 2.3.3 due to many issues with the update, but would like to have the improvements brought by the new radio image, which will hopefully reduce reboots during phone calls, reception dropping issues, etc. So I went on a quest looking for a way to update just the radio image without having to go through updating to 2.3.3 and reverting back to my CM7 nandroid, etc.
This requires just one thing: fastboot working properly on your Windows/Linux/OS X machine. If you don't know how to set up fastboot, there are plenty of guides on how to do so here on XDA
Step 1: Confirm that you have the original 2.3.2 baseband.
You can check this information by going to settings, about phone, and looking in the baseband version. The original baseband is I9020XXJK8
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If your baseband is I9020XXKB1, then you are already on the latest radio, which came with 2.3.3
Step 2: Procure the 2.3.3 radio.img file. I have uploaded this file here:
radio.img
MD5 (radio.img) = 942c7f6339e6ada5a58cf656c3f1fd4a
Or, if you'd rather not trust a random stranger , you can extract the radio.img file from the official full update file from Google, which can be found here:
http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/f182cf141e6a.signed-soju-ota-102588.f182cf14.zip
Once you have this file, place it on your computer in the directory from where you'll be running fastboot (oftentimes in your sdk/tools directory, but if you have that directory in your PATH, just your working directory from where you'll run your command prompt).
Step 3: flash the radio.img using fastboot.
You need to put your phone into fastboot mode. Power it down. Then, press and hold power and volume up for a few seconds to enter fastboot mode. Once your phone is connected to your computer in fastboot mode, you can run the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.img
On my Windows machine, this was the output. You will see something similar:
Code:
C:\Users\Andrew\Desktop>fastboot flash radio radio.img
sending 'radio' (12288 KB)... OKAY [ 1.918s]
writing 'radio'... OKAY [ 1.694s]
finished. total time: 3.612s
Once that's done, just reboot the phone from the fastboot menu.
Step 4: Confirm that your baseband has been updated.
Once again, go to settings, about phone, and confirm that you have the new baseband I9020XXKB1
Congratulations! You've updated the baseband on your Nexus S to the latest version.
Please let me know where I can find the original 2.3.2 radio.img for those who follow this guide and wish to revert. The procedure is exactly the same, but with a different .img file
thanks, flashed it and got no problem
thank you

Is it possible to extract the radio image from the phone?
I'm already updated, so too late for me. I have a copy of the I9020XXJK1 radio, though.
I'm almost certain that you can, but I overlooked that :/
Now it's too late for me too
It might be possible to do a reverse patch of I9020XXKB1 with the radio.img.p file in the GRI40-from-GRH78x zip.
If you can patch from I9020XXJK8 to I9020XXKB1, then you should be able to the reverse as well.

There's a radio patch file. Radio on phone + patch file = new radio.
Anyway, the radio is apparently in /proc/mtd/mtd5, so a dd command might do the trick.
Code:
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00200000 00040000 "bootloader"
mtd1: 00140000 00040000 "misc"
mtd2: 00800000 00040000 "boot"
mtd3: 00800000 00040000 "recovery"
mtd4: 1d580000 00040000 "cache"
mtd5: 00d80000 00040000 "radio"
mtd6: 006c0000 00040000 "efs"
Code:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd5 of=/sdcard/radio.img bs=4096
or possibly
Code:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd5 of=/sdcard/radio.img count=14155776
Any volunteers?
Edit:
OK, this actually worked:
Code:
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd5 of=/sdcard/radio.img count=14155776
I ended up with a file that was byte-by-byte identical to the radio.img in the original update zip. Except it was too large, the original radio.img is only 12583040 bytes long. I don't know the size of I9020XXJK8, but both I9020XXJK1 and I9020XXKB1 are 12583040 bytes.
Can anyone upload the 2.3.2 radio.
The phone now has no reception and android.phone FC's

thank you so much!
thanks, I flashed the i9023xxkb3 radio on my i9020 Nexus S, and it shows i9020xxkb3...
Thanks! Works great on CM7.
Does it matter what ROM you are on? i.e., CM7 nightly with this baseband?
There is already a post about this that comes with a zip that you flash in clockworkmod.

THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED AND YOU MIGHT BRICK YOUR DEVICE, but you can save the .img file in your SD-Card and using a terminal application type:
Code:
dd if=/sdcard/splash.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19
it should work, but I take no responsibility, you've been warned.

Hi Appache,
I'm pretty new in the Android platform so I do apologize for the silly question
I could not flash the image. I'm getting this:
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot.exe flash spla
sh1 splash.img
sending 'splash1' (750 KB)... OKAY [ 0.186s]
writing 'splash1'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)
finished. total time: 0.187s
I have rebooted the phone (screenshot attached) - is that OK?
... and run the command as you adviced in the 1st post.
I have S-OFF (as you can see from the screenshot). I've rooted, unlocked the phone according you guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=857444
Another question would be: Can I somehow replace the carrier logo in the phone? Is that splash2 or I'm completely wrong?
Thanks for all your effort man!

You need ENG-OFF to use ADB. You can put ENG-OFF over S-OFF.
You were absolutely right mate. Done eng s-off and it went like a charm. Nice one, thanks. Oh and about the orange logo I winged about in my question - that's sorted by a different ROM

How to edit the image file? What apps to use? Photoshop ?
Using moto-fastboot (thanks, eval- and _unknown), we can flash any developer build unlocked images in Fastboot mode. Thanks to Team Black Hat, we were given a very early developer build with AOSP Gingerbread (mostly). That build was based on GRH55.
This build is pretty dang buggy, but its AOSP applications and such can certainly be harvested for use by devs. If you're just playing around, you'll want to move back to HKTW or stock within 10 minutes. If you want to farm the apps and libs, just mount the system image.

Im a newb running linux. I have linux in a virtual box. I downloaded moto-fastboot and the two image files. Now where do I extract these files too in linux? When I run the commands it just says command not found? I have the files on my desktop in linux, how do I direct linux to flash the files too the phone via fastboot through the terminal since it cant find the file?

Make sure to check out eval-'s thread in General. Read up there.
To answer your questions...
1.) Extract the files to your home folder (for me it was my username, Kenneth)
2.) Right click the moto-fastboot32 (you need 32-bit) and click Properties... change permissions to read/write
Now give it a go.

OP Updated
Feb/2 OP updated
Small question: my device is on 10.26.1.17. Updating to the latest official 4.3 will definitely wipe the CWM recovery, and probably will make some of the apps not running any more (not mentioning loosing root, etc..)
Is it possible to install the CWM on such a ROM version (10.26.1.17) ? I've just tested booting it and booting (and using it as a backup) works.
I was on 6.0.4.6 and i used flashify to update. Worked fine.

included in the post alongside the screenshots. Thanks a lot!!!
OP updated 2/16, installation video tutorial included. Thanks to @wwjoshdew
recovery updated with baseline build and sorted dock sd card functionality and usbdisk functionality.
@pershoot I'd love for this recovery to include touch screen drivers. That way at least aroma could use the touch screen. Any ideas how to compile with the standard drivers included?

I'm getting a weird error I've never seen before trying to flash something with fastboot. :
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
target reported max download size of 643825664 bytes
error: cannot load 'recovery.img' : No error
Any ideas?

Make sure recovery.img is in the same folder as fastboot and you are running the cmd prompt from that folder.

Duh, I have platform-tools in my path so I can run them from anywhere. I forgot to cd to the directory. Thanks for airing out my brain fart.

Very common mistake that happens to the best of us
updated.
Hi,
I spent hours trying to get this to work before discovering there are two missing steps in the OP's instructions.
There's a shell script that calls an application that restores the stock boot loader on every boot.
You have to delete it.
Steps:
1. Root.
2. Install Root Explorer.
3. Go into /etc
4. Delete install_recovery.sh
5. Go into /system
6. Delete recovery-from-boot.p
You have to delete the files. You can't just rename them or change the extension because the system actually searches the filesystem for a file whose contents matches an MD5 hash and will find it if you rename it.
After you do this, THEN follow OP's instructions.

Instructions:
1.Download the flashable zip file from the link

For those who can't flash the zip, you could try extracting the logo.bin and flash via fastboot:
Code:
fastboot flash logo /path/to/logo.bin
Disclaimer: The fastboot command works, but I haven't tested it with the logo.bin file provided from the zip in this thread.

I will attempt to flash later in the evening to test.
Update: flashed successfully with fast boot. Looks great

Did you test the file you posted?
You shared a flashable zip file so is it working?
@[email protected] ... It's a sorry thing to see when a member of your apparent experience on XDA resorts to plagiarism to open a new thread. The reason your flashable zip doesn't work is because you have copied the "Meta-Inf" file word for word and comma for comma from the original by @caitsith2 who pioneered flashable zips for boot logos. Not only have you failed to give him/her due credit for the work but you have also been ignorant enough to copy/leave in the three "dummy commented out" lines from his original. If you had an ounce of original thought in your being you would have seen that there was no way this "updater-script" was going to work.
Unlike you I have taken note of the requests by posters to this thread and have incorporated your "image" into a new flashable zip which works. As usual flash through custom recovery.
Oh looks awesome...thanks.

@eduluzamba ... I don't wish to bang you on the head about this but I must point out that 268 people have downloaded this logo and you are the first to state that this particular problem exists.
Might I suggest that you delete the logo and re-instate the original, I presume you backed it up before installing this one, then re-download this logo just in case it was corrupted in the download and flash it again through recovery.
You might also look back at the post by @Stryder5 on page 1, he suggests the alternative method of flashing using ADB Fastboot.
I hate to state the obvious but presumably your device is the MXPE.
Sorry is that after I saw that the logo is for the bike x style and the bike x force
Sometimes the latest version of TWRP is in ".img", so some people use an older version instead, which is in .tar, so they can flash it with ODIN. The thing is that the ".tar" version is just the ".img" compressed XD, so I'm going to show you how to "convert" .img to .tar.
// TUTORIAL
1 - Download and install 7-zip
2 - Download the latest TWRP .img
3 - Open a file explorer, rename the downloaded file to: recovery.img
4 - Right click on the file > 7-zip > Add to archive...
5 - In this screen you can change the file name and, most important, in "Archive format" choose "tar"
6 - Open ODIN and flash the new file as always
Note: maybe other .img files (I mean other than the TWRP recovery) works too.
// SCREENSHOT
This is how the final file should look:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
// Other stuff
[MOD] Centered clock in status bar [6.0.1][.ZIP][SM-N910C]
You can try this too to convert the .img to a "tar.md5": http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446269
is this method for MM build? (N910C)
Edited.

It doesn't matter the version I guess.
The TWRP that I show in the screenshot is the one I'm using right now on MM (SM-N910C).
Thanks

Is there a way to do the opposite direction, convert odin flashable tar to twrp flashable zip? Like to flash Samsung stock rom with twrp..

I have the same query. But seems that none exists!
Sorry for the resurrection but I wasted time trying to use this and wanted to say something.
I tried to use 7zip to create a .tar file for Odin and it didn't work for me personally. SeaFargo also says that 7zip .tars are not compatible with Odin.
SeaFargo's response is over at "[Script][Tool] how to create a tar.md5 file from img For Odin" by mkh.mourad. First page. New user here so I cannot post external links.
what about covert odin flashable files to twrp flashable files ?

No need flashable zip, just extract by 7zip and flash images in twrp.

Sorry I mean:
1.Extract tar by 7zip or winrar
2. fastboot flash recovery C://recovery.img for recovery image and fastboot flash system C://system.img for system image which C:// recovery.img and C:// system.img should be replaced by the directory of the image
3.reboot and enjoy!
Remember delete meta inf folder
