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!

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.
Hi guys, my first post here but i has been following your roms and forum since a year or so

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.
I updated the ROM to the most recent ICS leak and inserted my SIM card. When in either GSM or Global mode, the phone will respond with "This SIM card is from an unknown source." Is there any way to fix this? I'm on AT&T in the US.

This phone will not work on US GSM frequencies, only abroad.

I thought it was compatible with US GSM frequencies since its a quad-band radio. This website refers to the Radiocomm hack to use AT&T (see Android Community's article "Motorola Droid 4, Razr, and Bionic modded for AT&T and T-Mobile") and the resource on Droid-Forums implies that the Radiocomm hack isn't even necessary after upgrading to ICS ("Finally! GSM Droid 4 Works!"). Is there something I'm missing?
edit: I can't post links, so woops! You'll have to search for those things instead I guess.

I know what you talk about.
GSM is unlocked in ICS for abroad GSM carriers, but it's not working for US GSM. For US GSM you still need to go and use radiocomm patch.

I used Radiocomm to check my NV value and it matches what the patch would be setting. I'm still not able to use my AT&T SIM. Has anyone encountered this before?

Verizon is obviously blocking access to US GSM networks. This has been reported previously on the ICS leaks. You are out of luck for now unless someone figures out how to patch this.
But I got the same message with my australian sim...
I rooted, installed safestrap and then CM9 with the setting "telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice" set to "0" in the build.prop. After that I had much better GSM-reception and the message didn't show up anymore.
In build.prop there is the following string: ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc. Could that be the limiting factor? Maybe try change to 0?
That only affects sending of SMSs. If you're not in the US, and not using Verizon's SIM, yes you should set it to 0.

I haven't had any luck from modifying the build.prop file. Running logcat -b radio shows me that CDMA stuff is going on when I'm in CDMA mode (whodathunkit) and GSM is happening when I'm in GSM mode. Is there a guide on how to interface with the radio directly (or, well, through linux or adb) so that I can figure out what the radio is picking up? It might not be seeing the AT&T signal at all. If only I could see what AT+COPS=? returns.
Could someone post their build.prop for the latest leak? Mine was accidentally saved while deleting some line. I don't want to reboot the device for fear of some kind of mishap. If you like outside the US and have your GSM edits included, that would be greatly appreciated

Hi mate. Find"build prop editor" in play store, install and run the app and search for the string you want to change. Rest is easy.

Well I have an LG Thrill 4G on T-Mobile's 4G network. But I only get "EDGE" Service.
I was told that T-Mobile's network is 1700 mhz and my phone is a 1900 mhz phone so it wouldnt work out. But then I tweeted T-Mobile about it and they said that they are upgrading their towers or signal, whatever its called. to 1900 mhz. So I'm assuming that if they do that I will get 3G and 4G speeds. If that doesn't work. Does anyone know how to get up to 3G & 4G speeds?
My phone has the OFFICIAL 4.0.4 ICS update in it that AT&T released.
I have a Micro Sim Card from T-Mobile.
Software information,
Android version - 4.0.4
Baseband version - OMAP4430/XMM6260
Kernel version - 3.0.21
Build number - ICS
Software version - P92530b
I was rooted when I had 2.2.2 froyo and 2.3.6 gingerbread but when I got ICS it was erased and I don't think theirs a way to hack into it yet.. unless any of you guys know? well yeah I need help
Root lg thrill android 4.0.4
this page has a link to root it but its in Portuguese... use google traslate.

Have you checked your APN settings? Make sure they are using the tmobile 4g network settings. I can post then if you need.

Yes Please!
Hey... I just moved to the US and do not want to give up on my XT1052 Asia Moto X yet. I have taken a T-mobile connection, and want to know how to get the 4G to work?
I am able to make calls and use 3G... but I am not getting the 4G signal.
I am currently using stock 5.1, rooted and xposed. I moved to this from CM12, and I am not sure if its that there is something wrong with the ROM, or if the phone itself is not compatible with it.
Any pointers on how to check this?
