I have a CDMA Milestone on a small local carrier (Bluegrass Cellular), and flashed the C 1.43 baseband (stupid mistake!). My carrier uses the C1.07. I found the .SBF file and flashed it using RSD Lite. I now have the correct baseband and 2.1 Android installed, but apparently the settings for the EVDO are wrong. Is there any way to find and change these settings? I took it to see if Bluegrass Cellular could do anything with it and they seem to know less than I do. I told them that it had previously been rooted, and they just assume that's what caused the problem. The phone, texting, and everything else works fine-just not the mobile network. I hope I haven't made a $300 mistake! Any ideas?
I'm in the same boat so if anyone has a solution or a stock Bluegrass sbf it would be much appreciated.
I'm with bluegrass also and am trying to avoid this very dilemma. Did it mess yours up when you flashed a ROM or how?

Try flashing another rom, another version ?
Since phones now have USB, i don`t think u can brick it...
And since nobody got a solution, u should keep trying til u find a solution or someone post it here ;D

Hey everyone,
I recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S from Sasktel sometime in mid-october. This is the first android phone I've ever had, and after a few days i decided to try to root it. The rooting process went fine and I had absolutely no problems with my phone. However, i eventually decided to try a custom ROM. I went with Darky's Raw Steel Edition from this forum but after i successfully installed it (v2.2) I could no longer connect to the data network. I could still make calls and receive texts, but any sort of internet connection wouldn't work. When version 3.0 of the rom came out I installed it but had the same problem. I thought my best option at this point would be to just restore to the stock 2.1 firmware. I wasnt exactly sure what my phone had been on when i bought it, but i decided that I9000XWJM9 from samfirmware would be my best bet. I flashed with odin, and now I have no network connection at all! Does anyone know what my problem could be? Thanks so much to anyone who can point me in the right direction!
Find your apn settings from your provider or google it and it is is this forum aswell where theres list of them just enter your apn settings for your provider manually.
Go to www.tweaker.com and get the settings for ur network

Thanks for the help! However, I'm having some trouble finding the APN settings for sasktel, if anyone could post a link or something that would be great. And gadgetcheck, I think you gave me the wrong link, it takes me to like a media site with nothing about APN settings as far as I can see.

the SaskTel i9000m stock firmware is JH2. If you're going to use a custom rom, use Doc's. That's what I'm currently using, no issues whatsoever (also on SaskTel in Saskatoon ) If you need the apn settings, let me know, and I'll just copy them out for you, but I'm pretty sure Doc's rom already has them, as I never had to add them. Though maybe they just carried over from my JH2 install?
Hey!
Soo I'm a total noob and i've looked around but can't seem to find this problem. I flashed a stock 2.3.3 for the samsung Galaxy S I9000M. My phone is originally from bell and I couldn't go on the market and sms that where sent to me shows that it was sent 4 hours ago. I bought it off some guy who unlocked it for me. I'm on the Fido network.
So I got a friend to flash it for me and it's on 2.3.3 I9000xxjvk. And now I can't get the 3G to work and it says i'm roaming. Mind you the market works now and sms shows the right time.
I know it has something to do with the modem. My friend suggested the SP6160_ARIES_DB221110 from :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391
Now I have odin and the AIO Vibrant Toolbox installed. But i have no idea how to flash that modem. And I don't feel like bricking my phone thats barely a week old.
Please can someone tell me if this is the right modem and a step by step guide for a noob like me to install the modem.
p.s. I have the correct Fido APNs. it's the same one i used when i had it one 2.1
These links will help you out.

Basically you need a Bell Modem. JL2 or KCI will do.
Have you turned OFF Mobile Roaming in the settings .

well thats weird.... Now i can't search anything on the market, says it's not in the market.... But before I could. i can still download it if i find it on my pc through android market.
Now i can't even download from the pc site. and when i go on my phone it tells me
Warning: : your device might not be compatible with android market. Contact your device manufacturer for information.
This is frustrating. I flashed the JL2 modem, should i try the KCI?

Hi,
I have an unbranded LG Optimus 2X with Vodafone D2 in Germany!
Since I got an custom rom on the mobile I get no data connection when I'm in 3G and sometimes also in HSDPA!
I tried Fearkills, BlazingDragon and even flashed back to stock! but I still have the problem!
By stock I used this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041 (the czech,germany,... version)
While getting custom rom I also flashed new baseband version so I think it's because of that! Before I got 0218 or sth like this...
Now I tried to flash the older baseband version 0315 in stock, but still the problem!!!!
Don't know what to do else, do you have similiar problem or any idea which could help?
Desperatly
You set the correct APN?
Yes, I think so, got the standard settings:
APN: web.vodafone.de
MCC:262
MNC:02
Authentication-typ: none
APN-Typ: default
Rest not set!
and the event.vodafone.de but this is only for mms, right?
Hmm, the APN is correct. Could it be related to your SIM?
Hmm, well it is the SIM of my old mobile (HTC Magic) so its 1 and a half year old...
Can I check it when I put it into another mobile and there the 3G thing works??

Try to delete all APN and then write them back again.

Thanks so far for your suggestions!
Tried to put another sim-card into the mobile phone, but same problem there!
But it was a very old card, will test tomorrow with a newer card...
I cannot delete the apns, but I just did a reset, and it seems to help!
I got a website loaded by 3G! but it also died once so far ( then the arrows get black and no conncetion again)...
Some more suggestions what it could be? at the moment I'm in stock and even updated the baseband by LG's update software( V10b to V10c, 0315 to 0405) but still get many failures that I dont have connection, although I have!
Changing SIM-Cards didn't help, the sim put into my mobile had the same problems...
I even flashed stock with nvflash, but I can't find a version where the baseband is included, someone of you knows where to get one?
use APN Backup & Restore
If you backup, delete and then restore all APNs you can delete them manually (they are not greyed out anymore)
You can also delete them all and define the one you need manually.
Could it be that there is a general problem with VF Germany?
I also have a VF Sim and my Optimus often loses the network connection.
It only connects again when I power it off and on again. Otherwise I have no phone or data connection. Very annoying.
I have a new hint!
when im calling *#*#4636#*#* and get to mobile info(sry have different language) and then deactivate network and then want to change the network mode from for example gsm only to doesnt matter what there stands unknown and cant change it anymore! This doesnt work as supposed to be right?
After that i have no connection at all cannot connect anymore and must restart to have anything again!
I hope this helps for some pros to help me fixing it...

Hi,
I just recently bought (second hand, on eBay - that was my first mistake...) a Verizon Droid 3 (so presumably an XT862?). It is failing to connect to any network, and is not detecting my SIM card. I'm in Australia, so there is no CDMA network here (but GSM on 850, 900, and 2100; UMTS 850, 2100).
The peculiar thing is that the Baseband is 'unknown' in the phone 'About' screen. Likewise, the IMEI, IMEI SV, Network, MEID, MIN, ERI and PRL are unknown. I don't know how many of these relate to the network, but I can't imagine an 'unknown' baseband is a good thing.
The phone is ostensibly 'unlocked', but shouldn't it connect to networks for emergency calls? (which is doesn't), even if it is locked and so doesn't detect my SIM?
The listed Kernel version in 2.6.35.7-g790a33c [email protected] #1
Build number is 5.5.1_84_D3G-55
I haven't rooted it or anything, and just did a wipe from the bootloader but to no avail.
I haven't tried reflashing it with the Fast/easy unbrick technique, because I don't want to go messing with the device if I'm just going to have to return it.
So in brief, the questions are:
1. Is it likely a flash would fix this problem? Does anyone have any experience with this problem? (I did search, but none of the answers really covered it)
2. Does the fast/easy unbrick take it back to stock? If so, which stock - Verizon?
3. Can I do the fast/easy unbrick? It doesn't fix the thing to CDMA does it (there was no indication it does in the relevant thread, I'm just being paranoid).
Cheers,
Fighting disappointment
Hi
Sorry to hear that. I think your phone have radio problems.
Some time ago i have this type of problem when installing ICS or any other rom with the xt860 radio inside a stock verizon rom.
Do the easy unbrick method that you post to back to stock rom and radio.
And after that see that if the baseband, imei appear correct.
If the phone ask you the subsidy code the phone is not unlocked.
Try that and post it here.

1) try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406812
I heard it solves problems for those with an unlocked phone but cannot connect to GSM
2) Yes. To XT862 verizon 5.6.890
3) I don't see why not
Awesome, thanks guys.
I've decided to contact the seller and see what resolutions they offer before I go and do anything that may prevent me being able to return the phone.
With some luck (probably a lot of luck) they will permit me to reflash the phone to see if it fixes the problem, and still return the phone if it doesn't resolve the problem.
In that case, I'll post the results here so others can see what the outcome was.
Cheers.
Just an update: neither the unbrick method, not the XT883 radio.img fixed the problem, sadly.
Cheers for the help anyways.
Same Problem on brandnew Verizon XT862
Hi Guys,
I have the same problem here. I got a Droid3 from an american friend. Some keys didnt work lately. And as it was still under warranty, I did send it to him and he sent the exchanged new device back to me. So it's not activated or anything. May this be the problem? It does not even activate radio. No question for SIM, no SIM detected. No IMEI, no baseband version. Strange.
Is it possible to send it to motorola, so they "activate" it? I can't connect verizon from germany(infos?).
Maybe it could be done with radiocomm???
Would be glad about any help!

Read this, it worked for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686911
someone solve this problem?
I bought a new unlocked D3 from an online vendor who shipped it from Hong Kong.
I stuck in my Optus SIM and it just 'worked'.
I'm running hashcodes's CM10 on it at the moment.
So the phone is perfectly capable of working in Australia.
You might have to enable 'world mode' in the Wireless and Networks settings before it will talk to the SIM. It's been a while since i've run the 'stock' OS.
Just reassuring you the phone is capable of working down under - as mine does.
I am also having this problem and have tried many things to fix it, without luck. Anyone got a solution?

I figured this out after having the problem several times the radio imei number is wrong even if you have did the *228 and ##PROGRAM with the correct info. I found that when you check the System IMEI with a 3rd party software it will shot something like 3112000xxxxxxxxxx or something of the sort. MTKdroidTools has the ability to let you correct this issue.
I rooted my phone yesterday and when my phone wouldn't boot up the rom I installed, I tried to reinstall the backup I had.
After that didn't work, I used odin to flash a stock ROMI downloaded on the internet and it is working now.
The stock rom I downloaded upgraded my phone from android 2.3.3 to 2.3.6. I don't know if that would make a difference.
So after this was all done, I realised I can't connect to 3g or any mobile network.
Why is this?
How can I fix it?
I live in Ireland so maybe it has something to do with the Stock ROM being from a different country?
Sorry, I am a noob at this kind of thing.
If anyone could help me, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.

Hey,
The CSC (what country the rom is from) doesn't matter, I'm running a stock 2.3.6 rom from the UK even though I'm in New Zealand
Try first going into
Settings -> About Phone -> Status.
Scroll until you see IMEI. If this is odd (maybe XXs in the number code or its different), then that explains why your phone can't connect to any network. Maybe from a bad flash- there a tutorials on these forums on how to recover your IMEI.
Also in this menu check your signal status- whether it says "Connected" or "Disconnected" in Network Status or whatever.
Alternatively, go to
Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names.
In here are your APNs- the network "gateways" that your phone connects to for 3G and so on. Make sure these are configured correctly- if not, your provider's website should tell you how to set these up nicely.
Hope I helped
