Problem with signal carrier - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

Hello,
I'm having a strange problem with my Milestone, i upgraded to the official ROM rentail 2.2.1, now it does not connects to the operator, but can browse the internet through 3G. How is this possible?
What do I already did:
- Master Reset
- I changed the baseband to Brazil (I'm from Brazil) through the OpenRecovery
- Use the tool BaseBandSwitcher
- Try different Roms
- I tested an older chip with the same operator
None of this worked, researched a lot and saw that many people have the same problem, but found no solution.
Please help me!
Thank you.

Hi there, look I'm no expert but does the proper apn settings show up for your carrier in your settings?

I have a question, how can i flash a kernel on my Milestone? I instaled MIUI ROM and i think its changed my kernal, because its have overclock setting.
Thanks.

You can't change a kernel on the Milestone. The bootloader is locked so you can't actually flash a custom kernel. The overclock is because of the 10overclock file in /etc/init.d, which overclocks the phone to 1GHz, and 5 steppings, depending on the load that the phone has.

I would try calling tech support for your carrier and having them make sure you meid number (under the battery) matches the one hooked to your account. also check the number under settings/aboutphone/status on your droid.

Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2

I have been extensively reading the threads and cannot seem to find the answer. I apologize for my noviceness. I went to the HTC site and it gave me this ROM to update on my phone. I use the phone in the US:
1. Will this ROM change my US settings?
2. Has anyone up upgraded to this and is the performance better?
Thanks for your help.
surely this rom is better
all your data will be erased.
but when you make the download, you'l have to choose the country and operator and local settings will be fine. The roms are different between different countries
yup i upgraded to that specific rom. The language is still english. Everything on YOUR DEVICE (not internal storage) is gone. The speed of TF3D is much faster as HTC has removed many of the animations. The phone will also get better reception and become quadband thanks to the new radio.
Thank you, do you use T-Mobile Use.

[Q] How to check modem?

How do I check what modem my Captivate is running? I'm pretty new to the Android community so I don't really know much outside of how to install roms.
Go to settings, then scroll down to "about phone", then find the baseband...it's the last three characters...ie: JL4

Thank you very much.
I don't understand the differences between modems. Mine says JK3 after i flashed Assonance v5 rom and have wifi but no data. Im on Rogers' network btw. Do i have to change my modem version?

It's best to update your modem to the latest version

No, it's not best to update to the latest version. Different modems work best in different locations.

And using a Modem for another device in the line(Vibrant, i9000, 850mhz i9000, Nexus S, etc...) can be beneficial as well. The i896 Modem have both the Audience Chip and HSUPA, but nobody made a kernel that supported it, so it died out. The modem that came with Cyanogenmod is JL6 I'm pretty sure, which came from a 850mhz i9000, but branded Vibrant(T959)

Yes, one of the first sticky threads in Android Development forum:
【MODEMS】【100+ Captivate I897 ♦ I9000 ♦ CM7/MIUI ♦ ICS】+【Google Location Map】
Has no one got anything on SM-S260DL, this device is great and can really use some support. Please anyone if your able to create a CF Auto Root for SM-S260DL that would be great. I don't understand why I can't find anything for this phone, is there an easy way to network unlock SM-S260DL as well? Any info would be great please guys, I have the stock firmware in case anything goes wrong.

1) yes
2) http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/ for rooting, check the roms for XT860 in the dev section. (i'm not very familiar with XT860)
3) I'm not sure for XT860
4) Yes there are ICS roms which are stable and working, but some features don't work like video recording, hdmi, and some bluetooth issues(?)

thank you sir appreciated. i hope somebody will answer question 2 and 3 hopefully
I believe that most XT860 ICS ROMs have a flashable patch which includes a fixed build.prop and libmoto_ril.so to get data functioning.
how to unlock this phone ? what is the way ?

Do you have an XT860, or Droid 3 (XT862), or both?
If it's the XT862, and I'm assuming you've used the SIM card from your carrier, not a US one, then you should check the Network Mode. Do this by going to Menu -> Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks -> Network Mode, and make sure it's not set to CDMA.
If it's the XT860, that shouldn't even be an option.

I'm not sure whether they lock out the other carriers in Canada like Verizon does with AT&T/T-Mobile, but if that is the case, you'd probably need a SIM from somewhere else.
Here's what people have to do to get the D3 to work with AT&T and T-Mobile, though I don't know if something similar would work on the XT860.
Good luck.
man im screwed. i bricked razr xt910 so i bought this phone and now i cant even use this either. sigh
i have another concern,
i typed on my droid *#06# and it doesnt show up an imei number
in the back there is a sticker with the imei number but when i input the code or try to look through about phone section of the droid there is no imei number stated
what is that supposed to mean?

Minimoto v1.7 XT862/XT860 baseband problem

Hello all i've installed Minimoto v1.7 XT862/XT860 in a Milestone 3 (xt860, personal, argentina) in safestrap and everything went fine.
The problem is i've lost 3g.
It's seems the rom lacks the baseband radio for personal argentina and no internet connection can be established.
It's not an APN issue, tried to load them manually, imported from the stock rom but doesn't work.
Anyone has a way to add basebands (or modify the USA band that only comes with the rom).
The rom works fluid and is very light and the battery is awesome (i cannot tell 3g because never worked, only wifi) but the battery last at least 24 hours using 8-10 hours of wifi aprox.
Thanks in advance
You should look around the mini moto forum in the development category. It involves flashing a different radio and different build.prop

Try this:

Also try this:

Make those changes to the build.prop file in the system folder of the minimoto rom, copy the 'new' minimoto zip to your phone, wipe and reflash. That worked for me.
Sure its not an APN issue? Have you tried tried mannualy typing in the APN and username and password for your provider? I have Minimoto on a GSM network and it didn't work at first either but then I just added the right APN values that I looked up on the internet for my provider and then it worked.
Hi,
All you have to do is install minimoto for the xt860, it's in the OP in the minimoto thread. Then, having wifi turned on, install HiAPN (it's an app to automatically set apn's) from Google Play. Use it to set your apn and you're good to go. I'm using it just fine on Movistar Argentina.

[Q] Custom ROMs for Moto X 16 GB Unlocked BL

Hi All
I am trying to use a custom ROM for my Moto X. But in the available ROM's i tried the data connection or the phone did not work. My guess was , it might be the wrong version - developer edition.
My first question is, which variant of Moto X is mine? XT 1052? How do I know it?
Then , the next is are there any custom ROM's for my phone?
please note, I have unlocked the boot loader and my phone is not carrier dependent.
The following are some of the details I found from my phone, please let me know, if you need more.
Build # KLA20.16-2.16
SYSTEM VERSION - 161.44.16.ghost_row.Retail.en.EU
Appreciate any response.

Your phone appears to be the European version of the GSM unlocked Moto X.
If you look on the back of your phone, near the bottom, there MAY be printed a model number in very small print...
Since it is a GSM phone, the data connection will not work until you input the proper APN for your carrier.
The stock rom probably has the correct APN already added - and that is why data works on the stock rom, but not the ROM you have flashed.
You will need to get the APN settings for your carrier, and input those settings into your X. Search the forum for details on APNs.
Good Luck

I found my version is XT 1052.
Let me clarify, its not just the data connection, but the phone features, liking making a call or mobile data get disabled, if I try any of the custom ROM's like PACMAN or carbon etc, which are for developer edition (as they have a suffix _dt, my guess).
When I try to make a call, it says, please turn off the Airplane mode, when it is not in Airplane mode.
My question is : are there any custom ROM's available for XT 1052, if not, is there a way, where I can use the other versions ROM and tweak it, like use their KERNEL or something else?
I am not sure, what to do.. Please advise..
Thanks..
