[Q] [Milestone] question about roms - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

I have an A854 milestone in Alaska , I treid CYanogens and bugless beast...both run very nice on it...the only problem i see is the APNs are verizon and I can not for the life of me restore the the old ones..it says sucsseful but...i dont have MMS working. I tried manually entering an APN but it doesnt seem to save...if i leave it verizon will i get a huge bill?? my local carrier is GCI...any ideas how to fix?

Have you tried this, open voice dialer and say " open apn " . Select it, then hit menu and hit new apn. Gci apn info is floating all over xda so just input the info in the right fields then hit menu, save, and reboot immediately. Should be bada bing baby!

Trying that now .. hope that works . If it doesnt can nTelos push something to my phone ?
That didnt work either . Under "Mobile network" is just says "Standby for connecting to mobile network" ?
I know this sounds elementary, but sometimes a standard reboot will cure that.

Ive tried that many many many times
I have now flashed new rom Fresh Toast v2.1 and still no internet .. this has to be something simle ...
Come on peeps .... there has to be more here
Come on guys , I really need some help with this . Anyone gets it right I will send $$ via paypal . Thats how bad I need this up .
C&P from a post I made a while back trying to help someone. I had the exact same Turning On issue and this is what fixed mine. I'm not with nTelos but another non sprint carrier.
I had to compare/correct settings in the EPST menu with another HERO from my carrier. To access the menu dial ##778# I think the password for edit mode is your MSL mine was 6 zeros yours may be the same. View Mode will not show the Security section info. The settings that finally did the trick for me are below

The HDR AN Auth User ID (LONG) may or may not start with evdo but from 2 carriers that I looked at they were similar. The small x's will be specific to you carrier. The capital Xs were my 10 digit phone number. Like I said best thing would be to do a side by side compare of yours and someone's that is working.

##778# doesnt bring anything up on this phone .
^ You basically erased your data settings when you flashed the Sprint rom. You need to know your carriers data settings and their APN info.

I can access everything else ##prl# , ##data# , *#*#4636#*#* , ##000000# etc ... the one you mentioned is the only one that doesnt come up . Aside from that , this is my second hero from ntelos and havent had a problem before when flashing roms , connections etc ...

Flash a different rom and try. Those codes don't work in all roms. I used Bittersweet 1.2 when i was working on mine.

Yea , going to give that a shot again . Getting back to the apn talk, CDMA does not have APN menus I dont believe .
Flashed another rom and still no evdo ....
Were you able to hit the ##778# menu?
I flashed every rom available at the time mine was broke. You need to confirm those settings in the EPST menu are correct or nothing will change in any rom.
By just looking at mine I was able to realize they were not for my carrier.

The settings are correct in epst menu .. I made notation of them before starting all of this . This is strange because this has never happened before .

Yup, this. Copy the APN information down, then just set it up manually if the app doesn't work.
If you don't have a LTE SIM card....usually has a 2 or 5 in the 9th or
10th digit and is sku 73057...and an LTE data plan you can add a second APN Setting and it will work with ICS...you will get 2g,3g, HSPA+, voice and text...but no LTE....
Please reply back if you need settings for it.....

No problems here with mms on ST on any rom I've tried.
These are my settings for ST on my Vivid:

MMS port:

I've had straight talk for a week now, mms was working fine until yesterday just quit working, tried a million different settings and still nothing. Thought it might of been the juicedefender app I was using, I deleted but it didn't change anything. if anyone has any suggestions that would be amazing.
When I get a picture i click to download, it attempts and than says download failed.
I'm running holics rom ICS 4.0
thanks
I have having a lot of trouble getting data and mms working on my stock vivid with ICS 4.0.3 on the straight talk network (ATT)
I have tried the standard straight talk settings from their website and probably about a dozen found via the web but none have worked.
Anyone know the secret for the vivid?

[Trifecta] GSM & Straight Talk (w JB)

Getting GSM (& Straight Talk) working on the Droid Bionic running Jelly Bean 4.1.
If you're here I'm sure you know now that it is possible, contridictory to all those who claim it's not because of these specs or that data sheet or press release.
Apparently it has the exact same radio / chipset as other Moto World phones it's just not for lack of a better term "unlocked".
BTW...If I was to recommend an order to do the "trifecta" in, this would be the last step. I doubt it would effect rooting. But MOST of the problems I ran into updating to JB had to do with the fact I originally did this when I was still on ICS, then it caused a bunch of probs while trying to update. Namely all of the "System 7" errors. See that thread for more.
****FIRST AND FOREMOST*****
Make copies of every file you change in their current untouched state, before editing, and if you can't, keep notes of their current values.
Also do not do this with the SIM in, it's not required for anything other than testing and getting a signal at the end.
This, from my experience, is also the cause of the "android.phone" shut down error loop.
IF you get that, shut the phone down in between hitting the "ok" button of the error loop and remove the SIM and continue. Once you finish and have reception it shouldn't return.
Follow the build.prop edits shown on the XDA thread "Bionic working on T-MO."
*You have to have root access to edit this file. I use ES File Explorer, use in "root" mode and enable R/W for everything. Whatever file explorer you use I'm sure it's similar, just look thru the settings.*
Then I saved changes & rebooted, and did the RadioComm part. Apparently this is the step that turns on / unlocks the GSM radio.
When you open RadioComm and it asks what setting to start on pick, same as chipset setting (will edit & update w exact in a minute don't have it open right now, you have to scroll about midway down the list tho.)
*If the big box in the middle right doesn't fill up with code, or totally turn green after you make the change to the first (16) numbers & save, somethings wrong and the edit didn't save. restart the steps & make sure they're right. Close RadioComm. You're done with it (...for now)
Disconnect Phone & Reboot.
After boot go to Dialer and type *#*#4636#*#* (*#*#info#*#*), should go right to a menu & pick Phone Info. go down to "set preferred network type" & pick WCDMA. back out and should be done.
People have said this won't stay set for them. Following all the instructions, I've not had a problem keeping a network set. I believe this is controlled with one of the build.prop edits. There are suggested fixes out there, if you go thru the settings and edits and you're still having a prob, try those.
In truth, mine defaults to GSM/CDMA auto (PRL), but it doesn't seem to effect my service, and I believe that will auto switch between networks which is fine with me becasue I can't get CDMA with the GSM sim anyways.
If you just want GSM, that should be it. Power down, put your SIM in and reboot. If you have AT&T or T-Mo, the APNs are already loaded and should default after phone reads SIM.
If you get "unknown SIM" dialog just click "ok". It will come up every time you reboot your phone tho so if you want to put an end to it, there's a quick build.prop edit that fixes it. Will Post exactly when I find it again.
but it's something like changing:
vzwphone=1 to
vzwphone=0 (only for ref until I get it up).
****Straight Talk (At&t SIM)
Before putting in SIM and after Preferred Network change.
go to Dialer, ##7764726 (##program) & hit "call" / phone button, enter "000000" for SPC password & "Verify".
Go down to #13 APN Controls,
then APN Config Edit.
Touch menu button on phone (4-squares) & New APN.
These are my settings & Voice, Data & MMS all work.
Name: Straight Talk AT&T
APN: att.mvno (make sure "MVNO" had this as MNVO and couldn't figure out what was wrong)
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS proxy: 66.209.11.33
MMS port: 80
MCC: 310
MNC: 410
APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri,dun (no space betw commas)
That's it. anything not listed above was left blank or as it defaulted.
power down put in SIM, and in a few minutes you should have service.
If you do, try going on internet, if that works, try sending yourself a picture msg.
All have worked for me.
****BTW - 2 things....make sure you have Wifi turned off, & you have mobile data enabled / on. (the mobile / packet data "On" thing was the issue with my Captivate Glide not getting data & MMS and it drove me nuts, then to find out it was just a switch & bang worked great.)
I hope this helps at least someone.
Cheers.
the one issue I still kinda have....
For whatever reason I get great data speeds.
typically 4.5 - 6+ Mbps down & 1.5 - 2 up.
but my voice levels are typically high -80's to -105 dbms
which equals at best, a not steady 3 bars.
Usually only 2 bars (mid -90's dbms) and quite often the little spec of a triangle.
I've tried the RadioComm Hex edit & adding lines to the build.prop to get boost signal reception that others have said helped them. Neither have done anything for me. (found here)
Currently still have both "running".
also tried this build.prop change
vzwglobalphone=1 to
vzwglobalphone=0
still no change.
The reason this is kinda an issue for me is my daily is currently a Samsung Captivate Glide and I Consistantly am at 4+ bars and high 70's. I don't know why I shouldn't get same reception in same areas, especially because I read that Moto radios are better than Samsung ones.
I do wonder if it's because the other is a "native" GSM, but then I think that the Moto is too, it was just "turned off" before.
Again I'm not a Dev, but I do want this to be my daily, so I'm willing to try pretty much anything since I have a back-up. So if anyone who knows more than me or has found a fix that works for them, please share.
i have followed your directions to the letter but still get bootloop. can u b a lil more detailed on how to save the build.prop to prevent this
@ smutta - Do you mean the android.phone shut down error? THe only time I experienced a boot loop was when I updated to JB, and that's when I was getting the "motorola dual core" boot animation loop. The result of that in my case was the "system 7" errors I mentioned in the JB update thread. Those are a result of, lack of a better way of putting it, the checksum's not matching what the update is looking for. Any hacks / changes you've made will seem to cause it to error out and the boot loop. Please check that thread too.
good luck.

Thank you i got it working and with a few roms also
@MoodSwinger
I am very new to this whole hack thing.
I've read, read, and read some more about trying to find the right way to do this.
I've successfully (through a combination of steps on here and other threads) got my (previously Verizon) Bionic on the Straight Talk network. I have voice, text, and data. Now, I'm running into a few of things that I can't seem to fix.
1st- My radio signal is real low (1 bar to 3 max) The network does not read 3G, it reads "H" ... What does that mean? I've never seen "H".
2nd- The phone seems to have a hell of a time detecting the SD card. Sometimes it does, but most of the time it doesn't.
3rd- I usually have no problem getting my apps back on from my Google account that backs them up after I would FXZ. I usually have to re- download them, but they are at least there. That doesn't happen anymore. I don't know how to recover them. This might have something to do with not having the proper signal. ???
What do you think I should do from here? Any input?
I have a feeling that a couple of tweaks in the build.prop would do the trick, but I'm not sure which ones to modify.
Also, I called Straight Talk and they gave me a more suitable APN for my area(I guess):::::
Name:
Straight Talk
APN:
tfdata
MMSC:
h t t p://mms-tf.net (without the spaces in the http, of course)
MMS Proxy:
mms3.tracfone.net
MMS port:
80
----------------
The rest he told me to just let it default, and that it would fill in itself if need be.
Otherwise, I tweaked the build.prop just like you illustrated in your post.
Thanks for the help, or even pointing me in the direction of an amazing Motorola radio tech.
I have root and I have flashed thru radiocomm the 1877 values.
I get the android.phone FC every time I switch to anything GSM or WCDMA related in phone testing.
I can't find the current workable build.prop edits, am trying to get it to work on Simple mobile.
Also what does renaming / deleting the stk.apk and atk.odex do?
Current edits
persist.radio.ap.phonetype=2 and changing the value to 1.
^only for JB
ro.telephony.default_network=7 (to set GLOBAL preferred network type)
ro.mot.phonemode.vzw4gphone=0 (to make possible APN edit)
telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice=0 (to fix signal strength and wrong carrier)
ro.telephony.ril.v3=signalstrength (to fix non-updating signal strength indicator)
I probably knew what it did at some point but I've since forgotten.
gsm help!!
hey guys i have my droid running both cm 10 and liquid v 2.9 . ive done all the build.prop edits and then some and when i set the prefered network it keeps finding aTT instead of t-mobile which is what im asumming it should be on for metro...i really need help been at this a while on and off i feel like im real close.

i have done many bionics using this radiocomm hack, everything works on stock, but when i try AOKP rom 4.2 (milestone 2) , custom rom, my sms do not work (inmeadtly receive a message not sent error) any ideas why?
No, no ideas. Is it just SMS or MMS too? or all data? can you get on the internet? does it work w WIFI?
I have been wanting to try the AOKP rom, but I installed the MS1 and at that time it didn't work w GSM, so I haven't gotten around to trying it even since the GSM patch had come out. Does the MS2 have the GSM "Built in"? If I can use it w Safestrap I'' give it a shot and see if I can fig it out.

Honestly, every straight talk modded phone i have seen that isnt getting sms has a problem within the apn settings. The ones you quoted in that post are the best i have used but depending on where you live, you may have to use the tracfone version. Or it ay be something totally different and unique.

I got it fixed, just tweaked some biuld.prop settings , that was the problem, i had made the buildprop tweaks only in the stock one, so no wonder the aokp had problems, and to answer your question , everything works, WIFI, DATA, just by installing it you will not get GSM working you have to do:the the radiocomm edit, the build.prop edit, i even got FM radio working again on JB, no the MS2 doesnt work as GSM until you make the changes, but ponce you do , everything GSM is in there in the aokp menus (apn edits, etc)
I have my bionic going on straight talk w/At&t. Under settings>mobile networks>Network operators I have the choice to search networks and select from a couple of different At&t options, a t-mobile option or I can set it to "choose automatically." Should I keep this on choose automatically or should I select one of the At&t networks it detects, and is there a difference? The two at&t bands appear to operate at the same frequency whereas the T-mobile network looks like a smaller range. I'm trying to optimize signal/data. Thanks in advance.
***UPDATE*** I left my house for the first time today since getting my phone going on GSM w/AT&T StraightTalk and I had 4 bars of reception and full 3g downloads and full messaging capabilities. I'm satisfied with the results and I think any difference in signal strength may come from having been spoiled on Verizon's coverage, even though I never got good reception at my house with verizon either so I guess I can't expect more from someone else.
I can root, flash recovery, flash the TBH GSM.zip hack -- As soon as I reboot from CWM I recieve the error "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen.
I am on 0A.78 - restoring with cdma_targa_9.8.2O-72_VZW-22_cfc.xml.zip (It is the only build that won't err on flash.)
After Restore, I use Oracle VM Ware to root with Root_Bionic_JB_20130501-4.ova
I then install BionicBootstrap.apk - I reboot into CWM, then BAM- Encryption error all over again......
Any ideas? I've been all over the Android boards and can't find much help. I have only had SIM detection and service 1 time previously- I tried to make a call and the phone would not connect. I had to do a manual reboot and I was right back where I started.
You can't use Bionic BootStrap recovery on any build after ICS and you also can't use the TBH zip method anymore.
You have to use RadioComm or other NV access tool to make the edits manually along with the build.prop edits needed.
Is there an actual STEP BY STEP guide? I had it working on stock 4.1.2 ... as soon as I flashed a custom recovery I was right back to Encryption unsuccessful. I was up for 24 hrs + last time when I managed to get it going, so needless to say I'm a little fuzzy on the details of how I managed it.
finally
I had an awful time of trying to use my stock ROM with ST AT&T; I damn near lost my mind.
Most threads fail to mention (or as a newbie I couldn't decipher) that a custom ROM is the way to go, and oh so amazing.
SS slot 2, changed a few lines in build.prop including my default network to WCDMA preferred (which I could not do in stock), easily added APN using the ST Data Settings app, and it is going pretty good so far. The only problem I am experiencing is the absence of my car dock, but that is a whole 'nother thread!
Thanks for all y'all's help! Very brilliant!
I have rooted my phone, and am trying the radiocomm hack, but, radiocomm is not recognizing my phone. how can i get radiocomm to recognize my device is connected?

Mobile data not working on some apps

I have Motorola Droid Turbo XT1254 Verizon model and I am using it in Asia on a non-Verizon network. Everything including wifi is fine, all apps working but I face alot of problem while using mobile data.
It only works on WhatsApp anf Google maps, I cannot even browse the internet because it doesn't work on Chrome. I tried other browsers but I can only browse the internet using Opera Mini but that has also stopped now. I cannot even call a cab when I am outside because because "Careem", the cab app says that I am not connected to the internet.
The H+ sign appears when I turn mobile data ON and I have also checked with my network operator, there is no issue at their end. They say there is something wrong with my phone.
I don't know where to start the troubleshooting. Can anyone help pl? Thanks in advance.
Someone advised me to check my APN settings. I went to the APN settings and there was nothing there. I first reset it to defaults and then added a new APN according to my network settings and everything is working fine now.
Whenever you put a new SIM, APN settings are automatically sent by the network and saved by the phone but that didn't happen to me so I had to do it manually.
Hope this helps someone someday!

Are you on a custom ROM or stock Verizon Marshmallow firmware? There's another issue with custom ROMs even for people on Verizon, the default is Straight Talk (an MVNO), not the REAL Verizon. (Because S comes before V, alphabetically.) It's an MNVO using Verizon signal, but REAL Verizon customers will often not get messages, get very slow speeds --- and they don't know anything is wrong because nobody ever checks their APNs anymore.

Is your bootloader unlocked? Do u have TWRP?
If yes then just flash clear-modem-status.zip by @bhb27. Search it using xda search.
If No then reflash your stock modem via fastboot. There are tutorials for our device on how to do so.

Thanks for your reply Zadeora but my issue has been resolved now. The APN settings were incorrect. Now all good
