Be on the lookout for IMM76Q OTA

[smbrooks32]

About a week ago I revived a replacement phone from VZW was imm76k running a baseband I515.09 and the whole time no drops but dud power cycle on and off.

Not that it matters but, I believe Qualcomm actually 'owns' the CDMA licenses rather than Verizon. But yes they are not considered open source.

Not quite. The code is owned by Verizon because that's what allows the chipset to interact with Verizon's network.

The .09 is a hardware revision. It's listed under baseband but it is not necessarily the software radio/baseband. Your radios are FC##.

Yes, it will. I have not used that function personally but I'm sure others have and can chime in. Wugs toolkit is a phenomenal piece of software and is very, very powerful and flexible.

The wugfresh toolkit does indeed back up apps before you unlock or root and it works excellent. I tried it, although not with angry birds, but with other apps and upon restore the apps and their associated data was all intact. Once you get the drivers set up on your computer, which is easier with Windows 7 by the way, it's very straightforward.

I got a replacement phone yesterday with IMM76Q on it... Flashed JB and now its gone... Oh well. I don't have proof but I promise you it was "Q". So what does this mean?

It means you went from a neutered search function to glorious Google Now .

Basebands are unaffected by the Q update, unless they're pulling a fast one (and I doubt they are).

Regardless, I'd love a screenshot myself.

Yup, same baseband. How's search? Noticeable difference?

yeah search seems to be a bit faster and my phone is actually keeping its 4g signal and tradeoffs between 4g/3g are alot faster. It seems that they changed some sort of software within the build.

but if anyone can do anything with the system files for releasing a leak just let me know and ill upload it to somewhere so the leak will be available to all.

I'll have to find a screen of stock IMM76K. Me thinks the speed, if anything, might be kernel related. But probably not.

Yup, you also have the ".10" hardware version. I've had 4 and have only had 9's.

Nope. You should be able to unlock and root just fine because you're on 4.0.4.

The only problem I had with it is that I couldn't carry over my Equalizer settings from Play Music :/. It all just sounds so.... off....



Also, wish I didn't root... Wallet wouldn't work at McD's today :/ (unless Bugless Beast comes pre-rooted....) I rooted stock before flashing.

No, that's Google Now from Jelly Bean. This update is only going to nerf local search for ICS.

Most roms-I'd say all of them-come pre rooted.

Also, root should have no actual effect on Google Wallet. See the Wallet thread in the rooting section for tips.

It's likely the ROM devs will include the new basebands in an update to your ROM.

Sent from my VZW Galaxy Nexus using Android Central Forums

Usually radio mods are not included in a devs ROM it is a separate file.
Did you flash the jb bootloader when you moved over for ics? I have noticed a lower signal since I switched to aokp p4 but I know it should not be the ROM buy who knows I jump on any new radio that helps the signal.
