Mobile developers and enthusiasts lack centralized access to carrier configuration documentation and baseband settings across phone brands

Mobile developers, security researchers, and phone enthusiasts struggle to understand and decode carrier-specific settings that vary across iPhone, Pixel, and Galaxy devices, forcing them to reverse-engineer configurations manually or rely on fragmented, outdated documentation. Current solutions require deep technical knowledge, scattered research across multiple sources, and significant time investment to decode baseband configurations. This creates friction for anyone building carrier-aware applications, debugging connectivity issues, or conducting mobile security research.

Showing off carrier-explode, one of my side projects that continuously archives carrier settings for all major phone brands. carrier-explode also contains decoders and explanations for all the common baseband configurations, etc. There’s still quite a bit of work to be done in checking my assumption...
