[REF] [RADIO] OnePlus One Modem Collection

Background
This is a list of radios for the OnePlus One (bacon). With the new OTA release, some people may have better signals with the old radio or want to tinker with the new one so here is a list that will be updated to allow users to switch to their preferred radio/modem.

Radios are independent of Android version, use the radio that provides you the best signal. It varies from user to user, there is no best radio/modem Why? Different carriers, different locations, and more. There are so many factors that play into cellular signal so just because a particular radio is the best for someone doesn't mean its the best for you. We can obtain a consensus on which radio performs the "best" for the largest % of users though.

However, see @Vonnegut 's experiences here on modems.

How to Flash?
Simply flash the .zip below in your preferred recovery. If you prefer flashing via fastboot, extract the .bin file out of the .zip file and flash it by typing,
The MD5 hashes for the files below are MD5 hashes of the zips and not the radio image themselves.

ColorOS
09/18/14: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712473371 (thanks to @fards) This is the same radio as the ones provided in the latest CM11 Nightlies.

To get a feel of what modems are identical and what are not (thanks to @funCrash93 for having the time to display this -- http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55590762&postcount=163 )

---------------------------------------------
It should also be noted that in Settings -> About Phone, all the versions are listed as MPSS.DI.2.0.1.c7-00020-M8974AAAAANPZM-1.
Confirmed by armitage, they are indeed different with the same baseband version. See here.

I just looked at the NON-HLOS.bin file in a few of the recent firmware's and here are the build dates found within them.

Kinda Strange how CM decided to ditch the c7-00013 firmware and use the c7-00011 firmware on all their recent releases.
This also shows that the .c1.11-00004 is newer then the c7-00013 modem.
Edit: Jan 24th, recent releases of CM13 are now using c6-00241


Update Jan 23/2016:
A new Oxygen OS firmware was released:

so you wanna say that the modem from Find7 will work on OnePlus?

Yep, it works fine.

interesting, what about M8?

It's different from any other modem: i feel like it's a waste of time to test it (so i didn't). Anyway, that's just my opinion and i'm looking forward for someone else to test it (along with all of the other modem of course).

how are you testing modems?

Click to expand...

There's only one way to do that.
I've just read some post of ppl testing a modem using okla. Knowing that one guy can download N megabit from one specific server with a specific ping is not helpful at all.
Nor it's helpful to know that John Doe has bad signal and want to know where the nearest broadcast cells are.
Who cares about that? Not me...'cause we are comparing modems, not servers or carriers.

We want to know how all of the modems perform in specific situation to get rid of all the other variables.
For instance, it makes no sense to compare the signals of 2 different modems taken in 2 different days. If the first one was taken when the sky was blue and other one was taken in a cloudy day, the results aren't comparable at all.

The only way to compare modems (and get rid of all the other variables) is to poll the signals in a very short time interval. In other words, a good test must be done taking polls standing in the very same spot in a very short time.
It takes about half an hour to do a full test. Here's the steps.
First, download all of the modem and put them on the internal storage (ready to be flashed).
Second, start with the modem already installed (usually 33R).
Open the dialer and type the following number *#*#4636#*#*. That will open the testing area: then click on Phone information.
Not many ppl know that, when in 4G preferred mode, all they see is the quality of the signal for the 4G...nothing more. That doesn't imply they aren't getting much better signals in 3G and 2G. Most of ppl look at the phone, see one bar and start yelling that they can't even get a good voice call. Ignorance reigns supreme.

Since we know what are we doing, we will check the signals in 4G only, 3G only and 2G only. Just click on unknown and select 2G only: after that the radio will reboot. Check the signal strenght for a couple of minutes: if the signal is stable, it should range and vary in no more than 3 dBm. For instance, on 4G, right now i get values of -80/-81/-82 (using the 33R modem). Take a screenshot of the average one (or write it down) and take note of the variability.
Now, change the radio to 3G-only and do the same. Finally, poll the 4G-only mode.

Now, reboot into recovery, flash the next modem and start again.
When you have gone through testing all of the modems, post the results (unbiased).

As for me, i tested the modem of 33R, 33O, 25R and Find7 and i got the following results...

2G only...all of the modems gave me very good dBm and they were very very stable. 30O was significantly worse tho.

3G only...both 33R and Find7 were very stable with a very good signal. 25R was quite unstable (+-6 dBm respect the average value). 30O was stable but the signal was again the worse.

4G only...i didn't spot any difference both in signal strenght and stabililty among all the modems.
