Under my computer your phone will be shown as another device as galaxy nexus
Try reinstall drivers or plug into another usb port. Naturally phone need to be switch on

Just install from pdanet will do n choose correct windows version

YES , you need to select it as an additional option in its settings

In app select settings scroll down you see root settings, select tick root explorer

You ONLY use CWM to flash zip files if after unextracted you see few folders such as system, meta-inf, zimage
If you are downloading the baseband file from XDA ( I don't know which link you download from ) , easisest way is to flash the radio.img file

Basically, extract the zip filoe and look for the img file

Rename the img file to radio.img put under the same folder as fastboot in your computer. If you have installed adb/fastboot from GNex toolkit - you will see these in PC . Look for it

Than launch terminal from PC : cd to the directory to where your fastboot files are and than type following commands

fastboot-windows flash radio radio.img

Than reset phone

First thing DUMP DELETE advanced task killers - it is NOT necessary. These stuffs will not only consume battery it creates unstability. It is not necessary to use such auto task killers.

The official stand from Google is Task Killers are unnecessary for Androids.
I quote from Google :

By default, every application runs in its own Linux process. Android starts the process when any of the application's code needs to be executed, and shuts down the process when it's no longer needed and system resources are required by other applications.
A content provider is active only while it's responding to a request from a ContentResolver. And a broadcast receiver is active only while it's responding to a broadcast message. So there's no need to explicitly shut down these components.
Activities, on the other hand, provide the user interface. They're in a long-running conversation with the user and may remain active, even when idle, as long as the conversation continues. Similarly, services may also remain running for a long time. So Android has methods to shut down activities and services in an orderly way.

Watch this video and brief summary of it :



Almost everyone has used these at one point in their Android life. And in most cases, reps at carrier retail stores will install these upon buying any of their Android phones with or without your knowledge. Its part of this HUGE misconception that Android needs these to run properly. Couldn't be further from the truth.

Everyone knows one of the main benefits with Android is the fact that it, unlike certain other OS's, can run apps in the background. And the more RAM on your phone, the more apps you can have open at one time for true multitasking. This is one of the reasons RAM is a highly sought after spec when comparing Android devices.

Most people know Android sucks when it comes to battery life. It's definitely a problem in Android. We know this. The misconception a lot of people have is that the reason for the horrible battery life is largely in part because of all the apps "running" in the background. This is one of the reasons these misinformed reps install these Task Killer apps onto phones thinking they're helping, but they're not. First, Android doesn't necessarily keep apps "running" in the background like a car. Using gas/CPU without you knowing. Android will pause those apps until you return to them. If you don't come back to the app for awhile, Android will eventually close the app altogether.

The other misconception people have with using a task killer is that it's some how making their phone faster. This usually has something to do with the thought that "freeing up RAM" is going to make your phone speedier and quicker when doing everyday tasks (I used to believe this as well). But not so. First off, even if you close out 20 apps in the background, 20 more will open up in their place. Like Bebe's Kids. They don't die -- they multiply. Resistance is futile. Second, it's not like Android keeps running apps in the background until you're completely out of RAM. That would cause your phone to completely freeze and lock up. Instead, it will begin closing the oldest apps still open in the background to make space for new ones. I mean think about it, do you have to manage the RAM on your home computer? No. It just works, right? Same with Android.

But just like your computer, there are those times when things go wrong. Sometimes an app can misbehave and become unresponsive. Or perhaps you changed some options in an app and it needs to be closed/killed/stopped so that it can be opened and refreshed. Or maybe you have a game that has gone rogue and really is, in fact, running in the background sucking CPU and RAM and causing your phone to run to a crawl. It's only in these rare occasions that using a task manager is acceptable. Even then, for your average user, a simple reboot will solve these rare problems.

So for techy people that like to monitor and micro manage everything that goes on in their phone, yes, using a task manager is acceptable. But for your average soccer mom/gf/grandma/Joe Schmo, there really is no excuse for them to have these apps installed on their phone. More often than not, they're going to ruin their user experience with the phone, doing more harm than good, and it will cause them to run to the iPhone where they don't have to worry about this sorta stuff. So with that. I am done here, folks. I hope this Public Service Announcement helped shed some light on a murky subject with Android. Now go uninstall that Task Killer. Now.

I just copied these from my SGS II official thread page 1 posts and paste it here

I would think checking at ABOUT PHONE is a good enough . If your phone calls/SMS n 3G can works proves is a good flash. Why you want to change baseband in first place ?

Milestone 2 comes with XXKK6 radio . I never faced radio issues with it. Sometimes is line connectivity issue nothing to do with phone

That means his rom did not change the baseband. I just check back my records my baseband was XXKK6 since new till now . Sorry my mistake in assuming his rom comes with XXKK6

If you do not wish Facebook to be active , just disabled Notifications and Refresh Interval to NEVER in settings of the app
If you prefer to have such to be active, Friendcaster offers you more choices of refreshing updates - Push C2DM, Periodic check, refresh according to your Gmail or K9 Mail settings

It is NOT necessary to uninstalled these apps, just disabled all the active data refresh in background

Added on January 29, 2012, 9:44 pmTry yourself and assess it. Maybe my expectations is too high.

Sorry I cannot help you. It is than your Windows problem already. Try testing on another PC
When you go to Control Panel under System - did you see any exclamation marks on the list of devices. If so. just choose those and enable reinstall drivers again - either search in PC or browse internet

Install setcpu - you can setup profiles to OC/UC cpu speed depending onn various conditions, set voltages across all cpu speeds
Read www.setcpu.com for more info

Just posted in my blog using external battery chargers with your phone

http://leemn.wordpress.com/2012/01/30/port...es-and-tablets/

What is wrong pattern too many times ??? Reflash stock rom will wipe phone

This post has been edited by benny888: Jan 30 2012, 12:45 PM

That is the problem using pattern lock. Too many attempts will locked phone. I never use pattern or even the faced lock. My phone no personal data open viewable - all such data are protected with passwords on app
I would say to reflash rom to solve it

Reflash stock rom will wipe clean including those viewable data in internal sd
Flash cook rom will not n if you choose wipe phone it wipe only app in hidden partition
