My phone has come a long way... from stock Bell to Chinese ME863 stock to Brazilian XT860 stock, to Mexican XT860 stock, to bootstrap, to safestrap, back to bootstrap, and onto Liberty ROM (great rom!)
What bothers me is when "Pay Phone" appears when some people call me (research seems to indicate that these people have a name attached to their phone number, and also if the provider allows you (your plan?) to see these).
Anyway, I don't recall the Chinese stock rom behaving in this way, and I'd like to flash back to it, but I can't (RSD lite and even moto-fastboot methods give up at the first flash... the CDT).
Am I stuck in the world of Brazil/Argentina/Mexico stock roms? That's not a bad thing, of course, as they open up other avenues... but the Pay Phone thing is killing me!
Any help/info would be appreciated. Thank You

Do you need to flash all the partitions to fix that issue? I would think either radio.img or system.img would be responsible for this as caller id is network transmitted. Perhaps try motofastboot flash just one or the other of these
I've also heard that some 3rd party apps can fix this issue. Try poking around the market see what you can find. I have heard that this is a rogers issue with unlocked devices, not just the xt860

Flashing radios and testing sounds more fun
Thanks Endo
To fix "pay phone" just call up rogers and have them remove the name display feature that is packaged with call display.
That's it! Btw why not try using the willis111 bell 2.3.6 deodexed on it? The stock 2.3.6 is pretty awesome, good performance and all.

Because I'm stubborn and dont want to call Rogers to remove the feature, I flashed the ME863 radio to my phone (running eclipse rom right now), copied the ME863 libmoto over (thanks dove0rz for dropping that in the forum!) and noticed that i wasnt getting signal.
I then copied dove0rz's ME863 build.prop (but it was made for cm9)... got signal, did the test.. and voila.. no more Pay Phone. Problem is nothing else really works on my phone. LOL.. (i.e. almost all apps FC).
I expected issues, just wanted to see it working.
My question now is... could minor modifications to the original build.prop (of eclipse rom) get my signal up and running? I wish I knew more about the settings in build.prop. I plan on comparing the original build.prop and me863 cm9 build.prop side-by-side to see if there is a magical line or two that needs adjusting. But any input/help by you experts out there would be appreciated.
This issue's been around for a while and is not specific to the XT860, it also exists on other Moto devices, some HTC and LG devices.
I can't test it because I'm not on Rogers... so I don't have the "Pay Phone" issue..
But I know for sure that using a build.prop from a diff device is usually bad.
So try taking the one that comes from whatever ROM you are on, and look for these lines, that's what I need to get CM9 running with signal on my XT860:
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libmoto_ril.so
ro.telephony.disable.globalnwswitch=true
umts.apn_authentication.enable=1
ro.telephony.default_network=3
ro.telephony.ignore.linkiperror=true #note sure if this one is absolutely necessary
Obviously YMMV as I'm on CM9..
But to get signal on anything other than stock, or Brazil or Latam..
I'd start by making sure it's a freshly flashed working ROM then copying the stock libmoto_ril.so and adding/changing the above lines to your build.prop file
And when you say
could minor modifications to the original build.prop (of eclipse rom) get my signal up and running?

Do you mean Voice or 3G or both ?
Also here's a quick list of the available SBF files for our phone:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_solana/list.php
Thanks PM. I updated/added the lines you suggested to a fresh installed Eclipse ROM's build.prop. Also replaced the libmoto_ril.so (and set 644 permissions to both build.prop and libmoto_ril.so of course). Rebooted and didn't seem to work (No signal at all.) Wifi seems to be working OK.
And yes, what I meant for signal was both voice and 3g.
Thanks for your help. I'm still comparing the original build.prop with the me863 cm9 build.prop to see what got it going by simply dropping the cm9 build.prop in... will update if any progress. Not sure if I'll get far because a lot of this is new to me still.
Upload both the build.props? Or search "web diff tool" in google and paste your files in there, that might help isolate the modified lines
And.. Does it even detect the sim card?
I recall seeing the SIM icon at the top of the screen, if for a few seconds. I can't quite recall if/when it went away. I'm going to try again and keep an eye on that. I was staring at the signal bar and crossing my fingers. Haha
Attached is dove0rz's me863 build.prop for cm9, and the me863 libmoto.
Also attached is the Eclipse 2.0 (for D3) original build.prop.
Thanks
So.. just to recap..
You're on Eclipse ROM.. get no signal.. and when you copy the attached cm9 build.prop, this gets you signal.. but everything FCloses?
Do you only have connection issues in Eclipse after flashing the Chinese radio?
PS: To spot the differences between 2 files, try this: www.aldram.com/Diff.aspx
There's also notepad++ with the compare plugin that achieves a similar diff..

Yes.

Hey, I'm having the same issues you were having. I started with stock Chinese on ME863 flashed to the Canada XT860 (and tried Brasil to) stock, but can't get data of any kind working. No data not 2g not anything. What did you end up doing for a solution.
Likewise, tried to downgrade back to original china retail stock but have the cdt problem.
Thanks, Sorry I know its been a long time since this post.
It might be the build.prop

Looks like custom roms might finally be here for the xt860 (and possibly me863, read Update4 below for more info). Thanks to Hashcode for all the work he's done for all of us building safestrap, porting cm7 and everything, daywalker04 for uploading the Brazil Retail sbf, Endroid for being the first to try it with a normal bootstrap and now I'm confirming it working with Hashcodes newest safestrap(as well as his old ones, I originally tested w/v0.92 and worked my way up to current). I Just booted cm7 off /preinstall.
As usualy, please keep in mind that neither I or anyone else will take any responsibility for anything that happens to your phone through use of these files.
IF/When you enable and disable safestrap remember to format data/cache, causes bootlooping for me if I don't.
Warning, if you do this the way things are now you will not be able to get back to your bell software!! Only do this is you are absolutely sure you know what you're doing!!!!!!!!
You may have to be on the brazillian retail rom for this to work! You can find it in This Thread. You're looking for Fastboot package for UMTS XT860 Retail Brasil. At this point in time you can't get back to bell stock so again, it's at you're own risk!!
UPDATE: Thanks Rick2 for the recovery fix that allows us to swap between safestrap on the fly. Now when I need data I can get it anywhere. Works with Hashcodes newest safestrap (1.06). Go here to thank him and get the patch!
Update2: I've attached a CWM flashable zip that I've used to successfully get 3g working on Liberty and Mavs Rom, it does not work on cm7 but will hopefully work on other verizon based roms. It pushes the stock libmoto_ril.so(from the brazil retail), a new apns-xml.conf and a slightly edited build.prop(just made it en/US). I've had it cause the phone to fc loop if I installed it on an existing rom and didn't factory reset.
Update3: Watching this thread for info about me863 I think but according to that thread a user has flashed the brazil retail to his me863 and is trying to get data working
Update4: I've reworked the data patch to make it more universal. It should work on me863 providing safestrap runs on your phone. The patch will now copy files from /systemorig so you'll be using matching kernel/libs etc rather than using generic xt860 files. It also makes backups of the original files in the same location (just adds a .bak extension). This new patch IS SAFESTRAP ONLY. Huge huge thanks to Adamogle!!! If it weren't for him I'd still be banging my head up against the wall and no one would be using this patch. You may have to format data/cache, I left it out of the patch so everyone can test (if you phone goes into a force-crash loop then reboot and clear data/cache). Once I get confirmation of this working (or not) on the me863 I'll fix the thread again. I've left the old data patch(renamed as fit) as well in case anyone runs into troubles. Still not a cm7/9 patch, if one comes about it will get it's own thread but it works on all other custom roms based on motorola firmware.
if you see this and you're like "yes, finally some progress on the xt860!! Where do I donate???!?!!" You do that on Hashcodes website, it's ALL his hard work, I just basically wrote you a little story and pooled some files together. He really deserves it, he's working around the clock right now on cm9, seriously around the clock. Of course you can feel free to click the "Thank" button on this post if you like using my data patch
1./ Flash Brazil retail sbf from this thread
2./ root with Zerg from this thread. For some reason v3 kept tossing errors, v2 worked first try.
3./ install safestrap or whatever bootstrap (safestrap from Hashcodes site http://hash-of-codes.blogspot.com/
4./ profit (follow the directions to install a safestrap rom
boot recovery
Enable safestrap in options
Factory reset (formats data & cache)
Mounts > format system
Install your rom
Install my 3gfix
Reboot and profit
)
Again, my patch doesn't work on cm7 at the moment. Sorry Hashcode and everyone but I figured we'd be better off shooting for a known working rom. I'll update the post as I and other users test more roms. Thx thing on a spring for providing the patch "template", every time I threw one together and put it on my phone it turned out to be corrupt somehow so I just removed the files from your data fix and shoved in my own.
does it work with me863?
Thanks Willis I'll try that fix tonight. I'll try some of the other custom roms too see if any work. Probably give safestrap a whirl too

I gotta say after months of watching customs roms and dev for the xt862 this is pretty exciting. Does wifi data work on cm7? I would assume if the issue is just with apn. I know its not the intended purpose but I may use safestrap as a dual boot, run custom roms at home in safe mode and switch back to Brazil retail when I need 3g
Beamed by invisible waves from my rooted xt860
This is awesome.
Great work guys. As soon as this gets a little more stable I'm going to flash it onto my gf's phone, work around these bugs that came in the stock FW.
Awesome. Been looking forward to this day. Not jumping on the train just yet, but I'm sure that once the 3G bug is ironed out, I'll be flashing.

Yeah, I tried that and the gsm data patch. I'm having trouble adding/editing apns etc, can't join networks because "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network" etc. This is with cm7 and liberty. I have liberty on my safestrap now, running. I can get sms, make calls etc, wifi works. I'll firgure the rest out. If I want to go back to stock for data or something I just turn safestrap off and do an advanced restore of my /data partition to my backup from after installing the brazil retail.
I can't seem to make this work willis, i adb pushed those files to /preinstall but i still get constant FC of com.android.phone the only thing that makes it not do that is removing the sim. i'm confused

I was gonna put together a flashable patch earlier but had some things come up and ended up in a hospital waiting room all night(next time I'll bring my laptop >.<). I'll toss it together asap and update the first post as long as I can flash it/it works. I should have mentioned (this is the confusing part) I pushed those files before enabling safestrap so /preinstall was /system if you get what I mean.
For CM7 to work correctly on GSM, I need to edit the init.mapphone_umts.rc file to setup all of the services the right way.
TBH, I never even looked twice at that file because I thought there wasn't anyone using it.
*blush*
Glad to see the XT860 crowd finally get some fun. )
Thanks Hashcode for putting so much effort into it, it's highly appreciated.
We were feeling a little bit left out.
Well, if you can get a version of CM7 working before I start having to study for exams, would be greatly appreciated.
But, if not, I'm sure I'll just divert time from studying to testing.

After the little bit of testing I've done over the last day or two with different custom roms it looks like we're(xt860 and me863 users I image) going to have to have (or really really want) a patch we can flash against any custom rom to get our data and sometimes maybe phone up(or to keep it from crashing). Haven't been able to get 3g up (though the 1 method I did not try was to crash the phone through the dev tools in cm7 as was mentioned in another thread) on any rom yet. Phone/text works right off the bat w/liberty, mavs etc etc.
Narrowed down why Safestrap Recovery would only boot if a USB cable was connected on the XT860; it had to do with a line in the init.rc file executed when booting into recovery:
Code:
write /dev/usb_device_mode msc_adb
As well as a line in the postbootrecovery.sh script which accomplishes essentially the same thing, except via an echo command.
Obviously, we could just comment those lines out, but then we're left without adb in recovery without messy changes each time we want it. So, I whipped up a little script that checks if there is a USB connection and if so, run the previous necessary commands to enable adb and if not, then leave them out. End result: Safestrap Recovery is working like a charm now. No more need to worry about tinkering with my phone without a computer nearby to get into the recovery...
I attached the modified recovery.zip, just replace the original one located at /system/etc/safestrap/recovery.zip with the attached one and you should be good to go.
I would have posted this question in response to these instructions, however I'm still a noob on these forums, and haven't met my 10 post quota yet.

My question is will this recovery method work for Bell Canada users, or will it only function for Verizon users?
I've installed AOKP a few months back, and while I enjoy it, I've lost support for some key features; namely HDMI, which is disappointing. When I tried recovering to the stock rom to hold me over until some new features and revisions show up on the mod scene, I found out my system backup was corrupt.
I have found a few downloads to system images, however every one I have found link to files that are now taken down. Can someone upload a current system dump?

No, you have to completely reflash your device and will have to re-root it. I think you should give it a go though
You'll need to download RSD Lite and download the XT860 Bell SBF files (they are about 500mb to download). Also make sure you FULLY CHARGE your phone, just in case you run into any issues. I think you can find an SBF how-to doc in the development forums. Please keep us posted.
Are you on Verizon? Because if you and this works, you probably won't be able to use it with them anymore.
Nope, I am on PCMobile without a data plan, use wifi.
I think maybe I'll try a Rom first.

I want to present my ROM for GSM users. Based on 215 ics leak.
Some info:
1. As much as I could - removed verizon things.
2. Fixed Mobile hotspot for GSM users. (if it still doesn't work, add dun to your APN type)
3. APNs for GSM users are integrated
4. Added Russian language.
5. Replaced Messaging.apk with SMS/MMS.apk from cm9, because standart messaging app is not sending mms.
6. Deleted normal apps that can be installed from market for free.
7. Removed verizon libs
http://d-h.st/vE3
+++++++++++++++++++++
[V2]
1. Based on 217 fastboot files
2. Fixed Mobile hotspot for GSM users and APNs for GSM users are integrated
3. Added Russian language to new 217 build files.
4. Saved Messaging.apk (but edited countrycode to 7 and max mms size to 512KB), but still can't understand - sometimes it sends MMS here, sometimes not. Added SMS/MMS.apk from cm9 as well, for sending mms.
5. Deleted normal apps that can be installed from market for free.
6. Removed verizon and several moto things (like hidden motoprint, for example).
7. disabled cdrom automount when you connect droid4 to computer.
8. can't remember

this rom was made specially for saving non-safe system untouched. intall safestrap to non-safe system and use this one as safe system. you can anytime make nandroid backup of this system and restore after new leak will come.
Just want to add that this is a good ROM. Data seems to actually work better than in my stock ROM, and having all the APNs pre-installed is always nice. Haven't had anything break on me at all yet. It's nicely de-bloated, but still has everything important working, including webtop and HDMI output. I'm currently using it as my daily.
I just hope olegfusion can get their phone fixed easily as this one is worth keeping an eye on

It'll be earlier than I'll fix my bricked droid 4 (need ICS 4.0.4 fastboot files, I don't think they will come here before september). Sad that I needed to waste more money for second phone.

Download my firmware, use winrar or something like this and extract /system/etc/apn-conf.xml file. Replace by same path in regular ICS leak.
But if you're using Verizon wireless, compare files inside - you'll probably need to add verizon apns to my apn-conf.xml

Ok will do. I assume, just use an XML editor and do copy and paste? Sorry for hijacking your thread.

Is it possible to add other languages ? (i'm actually thinking about french). If yes, how ?
Hey guys. I've had a Raider on Rogers for quite some time, and the Dark Raider rom with KozmikKernel RC1 has been working well for me for what I need. However, the Wi-Fi hotspot hasn't been working for me no matter how many different third-party tethering programs I installed. I'm on the AT&T build.prop. Is there any way I can fix this problem on my current setup, or should I just switch over to stock Rogers ICS and go back to a custom ROM later?
I've also attached a screenshot of what happens on the default hotspot app (My phone crashed while trying to take the screenshot.... weird )
Try the beta 12 from kozmick , or faux 123 (007 kernel) see if that works for ya.

I just installed beta 13 and it didn't work. Also, my phone's performance is now choppier, probably because of the badass governor.
i hope i helped.
i have had the same issue before, and after a lot of reading and searching, i came to figure out what i was doing wrong.
you should keep reading and searching too, you will learn a lot.
but i will tell you what i know and i hope it helps.. it all has to do with the way you flash roms and kernells to your device. if you have already achieved S-off, then your problem may be a lil more difficult,, but if you are just fastboot unlock and rooted.. what you need to do is stract the boot.img of the file that has the kernell inside the rom zip. and flash that separately via fastboot.
place the boot on ur file that ur using to flash stuff, and then use the proper command,
"fastboot flash boot boot.img" in command pront,
if u are confuse, take a look into this guide. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836

I've tried 3 different kernels, still getting the same error message as above on DarkRaider. I'm not with AT&T. Any advice?
Reflash the Rom and when its done flash the kernel should fix it

Tried that with several ROMs and several kernels - still get the same error. Thought I had it fixed with that world-famous Illuminati ROM, but alas it was not to be.
It has to be an APN problem, in that it's looking for AT&T info and not finding it. That's all I can think of it being...

Yea att,
that is what mine looks like , at the top right you can see the active symbol.
On a stock ROM, that's exactly what I see. It works on stock but any modded ROM gives me an error. It works on AT&T, but not on any other carrier. That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Actually I'm using this on my HTC Vivid for tethering!! I did this that a saw on a Vivid ROM thread, I think it was on Dark Raider's..... so I don't deserve any credit, I just want to help. I'm rooted and tried it and it works perfectly!! You can just hit the thank you button.
You'll need SQ Lite Editor:
1) Dialer Storage
2) telephony.db
3) carriers
4) 12 Entitlement 310410
you shoud change the value under "apn" from "broadband" to "pta"
5) Please restart your device and you will get it!!
Ok I've become highly frustrated can anyone help me on this one? Droid 3 stock was working fine and all of a sudden no service what so ever. Can only connect via wifi. I've done: *228 (doesn't work no service), ## program (didn't work somehow my spc password has changed tried all vzw told me to try), tried factory reset (still didn't work), tried rooting phone cwm boot strapper etc (still no radio) even tried the stock flash from other threads where these phones have had this issue. (Still not working) I even tried cdma workdhop to read the memory to find the spc pw and the file said that the txt file did not exist. What's left to do? Pull the trigger? Really could use some help.... thanks!
By stock flash do you mean sbf via rsdlite or motofastboot. If you've flashed stock firmware and still have issues I would suspect it's a hardware issue

Its the one named D3.906.SBF by overlayer I used ill try to find the post that has the file. Moto-fastboot I think where would I find the other (it'll be a pain if its hardware....)

Try toggling through Global/CDMA/GSM modes and end on CDMA (if you use Verizon). I sometimes have this issue, though usually after flashing a radio. Also if you SBF, remember to wipe data/cache. If you want it, I can upload the stock 890 radio and you can flash with moto-fastboot. The 890 radio DOES work with 906 system, I switch between the 890 and XT883 radio for CDMA/GSM.
Motofastboot and rsdlite are just 2 different ways of flashing firmware. Rsdlite is more user friendly and automated whereas motofastboot is a command line utility that allows you to flash single partitions instead of the whole device. Ovelayers tool uses motofastboot and a script I believe
