Try setting up your 3G by changing the APN in Mobile Network Settings.
thx for your answer, i have the rigth settings in the APN, and i have edge data only.

Hi guys, appreciate the help with this. I have rooted and have tried all sorts of roms on my Milestone
However with Cyanogen cm7 with Gingerbread 2.3 and other variances of the cm7 i cannot get any network coverage or cant connect to my provider. However my phone works perfect with the 2.3 AOSP roms...
Is there something obvious I am doing wrong? Am i missing something when installing cyanogen roms?
Help?

Yes...You probably need to apply the basebands of your region when you install CM roms.
You can do that in Androidiani 3.3 Open Recovery, on the menu "Change baseband"

Ahh OK so it has got to do with applying the basebands to my region.
I have seen this option in Open Recovery 3.3 . Is there any specific file I need to download or number I need to know before attempting to change my baseband.?
i live in New Zealand.
thanks.

No, you dont need to download additional files. Just go to Androidiani 3.3 and try applying bands until you get coverage. Many of the people apply RTEU and it works. I dont know what is the baseband for your region, but you switch between them and you will find the proper one.
Hope I've been helpful!

Sweeet as..You have been most helpful. Its working perfectly now. thanks
If you're with XT use the Brazil bb.

Where abouts in NZ are you? I'm also a Kiwi (Gisborne) and I have no baseband trouble at all on any of the GB ROM's, or any ROM's for that matter. I've never had to mess with the baseband and I move from ShadowMod to Cyan7 all the time as they release new updates.
What baseband did you use? Im having the same problem and I can't get 3g working for the life of me. I think it's a mixture of apn setting and baseband. Im on 2degrees btw.
I need help with this too. I live in Auckland and use Vodafone NZ. Originally, my milestone came installed with Froyo (v2.2) and it was the Europe version I believe......both 2G and 3G works fine on it, however I have problems with the wifi like many people have.
So then I later flashed to the New Zealand v2.1 SBF, and now wifi works fine but I can't get any connection to Vodafone. The reason is basically because Vodafone doesn't support Milestone, only Telecom XT does. However, if I switch the network from 2G to 3G, then I can connect to Vodafone. I can also connect to 2Degrees, I can see all 3 networks (Telecom, Vodafone, 2Degrees) when I'm on 3G and I get about 3/4 bars constant so it's stable.
But when if I switch to 2G, I get completely no bars and can't detect any networks at all. Not a big deal but I wanna use 2G to save battery. When I was using the Europe SBF (the v2.2 Froyo that came pre-installed with the Milestone), I was able to use 2G no problem.
Anyway, I think a simple baseband change should be fine, but I'm not sure which one I should use that works well with Vodafone NZ.
The baseband has to match your handset's capability. Xt units lack the Vodafone 900 band, they have 850 instead. Both carriers use 2100 in the CBD. Vodafone has also 2g network that has crap coverage. I'm using my xt set with Vodafone, but there's no point changing the bb as xt ms can't do 900 anyway. Basically get ****ty GPRS except right in town. It's only used as car GPS/stereo so no biggy for me.
but mine isn't originally an XT Milestone, I bought it 2nd hand on Trademe and the original owner of the phone got it from somewhere else. It's just that I flashed the New Zealand v2.1 SBF, which just so happens to be for Telecom since there isn't one for Vodafone......
Plus, it was able to work fine on 2G when I was using the Europe v2.2 (Froyo) SBF, so I don't see why a simple baseband change isn't possible?
Check the exact model number, most of the ones floating in nz are telecom models, no matter what the previous owner was using it with. You can change basebands as much as you want, if it doesn't match your hardware it just won't work. I.e. you will not have 3g outside of main centres. Afaik, 2g is the same on all models.
So, install OR, then one of the cyanogen based roms (it has all nz apns). Boot into or, there's a list of basebands - try till you get one that works.
Have you set your APN setting right?

Cyanogen based roms have all the nz apns, otherwise, you have to put the correct one in.
First, sorry of my poor english.
I bought this phone and use it in Hong Kong.
Now my carrier (HKCSL) provide dual band WCDMA 900/2100 Mhz service.
I want to use 900MHz because I know it can provide more and large coverage than 2100Mhz.
Is it prossible that this phone's hardware/communication chipset have 900Mhz?
If yes, any Rom, kernel or modem can turn 900Mhz on? May Rom/kernel developer can develop this function?
Thank you your help.

you just mentioned it at the last part of your thread, try different modem in custom roms there is many to choose and not all phone with same model would give you same result and satisfaction as with another just try flashing and reflashing to get your sweet spot.

I have just try Darky Rom/speedmod/JVE.
Is that possible?
Does the Captivate work on WCDMA 900???? is that possible if i flash a different modem??
No. the only bands the captivates can pick up is 850 and 1900.
Hey guys,
First of all props for the great job you've done. I have a few questions which I'd be thankful for if you could answer. First of all I've googled this hundreds of times but I still can't find what exactly IS gingerbread software, and why is it preferred over official firmwares? Secondly I would like to know how to access the root files after rooting so I can delete the wifi file. (My tab has the wifi connectivity problem). Lastly I flashed my T-mobile tab to Euro firmware using Ayman07's guide, the dialer is there etc, but the problem is that I want to use this in Pakistan. So how do I make the tab function with the sim from Pakistan? Whenever I put the sim in I get 'Not registered on network'. Sorry for all the questions, but thank you in advance. Great job once again.

Gingerbread actually is an official software version of Android and it's not yet available on the Tab. You can put Gingerbread on the Tab using one of the ROM's from the development section.

You can download Root Explorer from the market or use adb to do this.

You need to flash a modem for your region. In settings, about, what baseband is shown?

The baseband version is P1000XXJHA. One more question, will I have to flash the T mobile modem switcher by rotohammer also? Thanks in advance.
@Stu Thanks for the help.
Oh and I found some information of the network I want to use the tab with in Pakistan, if you could look at it and tell me which modem to flash I'd be thankful.

You will need the JPZ modem.If you use Overcome rom the modem is included within the procedure....good luck!
The JPZ modem will be ok, but the carrier you will have is the same as at&t, so I recommend the JK3 modem.
You will get voice and EDGE data speed (2g). 3g is not possible for your t-mobile tab, no matter which modem you use, because the radio does not have the frequencies needed for 3g on that network.

Thanks a lot sir.
found a way to extract with this tool.
attached the baseband for whoever wants it.
final result = endless boot loop.
ORIGINAL POST:
Hello,
I tried to flash the new ics port, with different basebands but the reception wasn't good.
my carrier works on 3G 2100/850mhz bands, and no 2G support.
did a little research and found:
p920 supports 2100 mhz (and others but not 850 mhz) 3g band
p920h supports 850 mhz (and others but not 2100 mhz) 3g band
any of those bands alone gives me half of the reception coverage.
however p925 basebands support both 850 and 2100 mhz.
when i flashed at&t official GB rom from here, i've got full support of my network, wich is by the way not at&t, but Pelephone, Israel.
my idea is to dump the GB baseband from original at&t's rom
and flash it after flashing the new ICS port (instead of the given XBSA404_CP.fls), which i think should work with the GB baseband.
my question to you guys is how can we dump only the baseband from at&t official rom
and flash it on an ICS thrill ?
and do you think this should work ?
Thanks in advance, ValkA.

Original GB 1.8a baseband, in .fls format. I dont know why you need to go through all of this, you can flash this AT&T Baseband ontop of a Thrill (P925) WITH the ICS port to have 3G. Shoot, I have HSPA on mine.
the 1.8 baseband is made for p920, which doesn't support both 3G 2100 and 850 mhz, it supports only 2100.
i will have HSPA with this baseband, but with a little network coverage.
with the p925 baseband i have full network coverage, thats why all the effort.
you were right, i tried to flash it one more time and it works now!
hi guys, do you know how to change baseband? I mean for example I am on 5.1.1 stock FW customized CH, is it possible to flash say US baseband in it without losing any data? how?
this would help a lot people using my rom in other countries!
I tried with flashtool, flashing only all AMSS_xxx parts from a US fw to my current CH install, but the baseband shown in settings is always the same, so I think I am doing something wrong/the AMSS parts are not really the baseband?
can you help!?
TIA!!
I think better to change phone baseband is changed mode to USA: If you click on dial * # * # 4636 # * # * and select info mobile and you select in the new screen menu (top right) and you can change to US networks.
I've done this several days ago. I'm in Spain and I could not access European 3G and 2G network because new newtork is for usa (LTE same).
I was doing research for improving the signal and great failure. Then I had to flash with flashtool new rom ... hehe
Sorry for my bad English.
thanks mate! i don't need us band actually, I'm in Italy and the European band is fine for me but wanted to know how to do that for us users of my rom. great tip will suggest them to do so hopefully they'll improve the signal strength/switch speed thanks again!
Hope someone can help you out, I love your rom and I just got a d5833 from Hong Kong, I live in Australia and my carrier supports exactly 5833 lte bands (I'm Italian too Btw ☺), lte is actually working but reception isn't good, I'm sure with the right baseband would be better. Thanks for the hard work ?
did you try the method suggested by Joreb? ( *#*#4636#*#* and then chosing USA band)
he was saying basebands are all the same in all d5803 firmwares
Well I did and it wasn't a good idea since now 2g and 3g are not working and I can't switch back to the original baseband since in the menù there's no other option. Any clue?
Edit: flashed your new v3,everything's fine now
