Hello, i found several tutorials but unfortunately ..
I bought a unlocked droid 3 XT862 and it seemed to work fine.. (calls are possible and texting as well)
But no data connection, this is why i flashed via fastboot the radio.img from the xt883 .. but nothing happened.. this problem is still there..
i have the .906 firmware (the pre-owner installed it) ..
is there something i can do or not.. please let me know
regards
luca
What build.prop are you using?
Sent from my xt862 using xda app-developers app
the default build.prop
(installed 0.890 but some files from .906 could not be replaced, unfortunately)
changed nothing.. which build.prop should i use?
If you flash the 883 radio you need the one from the TMobile/AT&T thread.

Also is your APN set up?

Tank you very much, i thought that the build.prop is not important and will be copied automatically.
And i also thought that the apn is not necessary ....
Thank you very very very very very much .. it works now!!!

Hi everybody,
I got this phone on ebay when i was in US. I didnt check the phone when I was there.. It is being to late to send it back i guess..
The phone has problem with wifi and bluetooth. Wifi shows error when i try to enable it. and bluetooth show nothing.. NO Mac address shows on info.
After a little search as i understand, i need to flash the kernel on the phone. But i have no knowlage on flahing kernel..
Any ideas would be appreciated.. thanks.
Can't flash the kernal due to the locked bootloader. You can try using RSDlite to flash the fastboot files. Look in the dev section

Oh duh, is this the Verizon D3? (862) I ask because that is all the SBF will work for. The 860 doesn't have SBF yet AFAIK.

Hey guys, I know that not every rom is made for xt860 so Im just wondering, when I Installed minimoto it wouldn't connect to bell, It found it but then said my similar isn't compatible with the connection. I used to be on mav rom but out of nowhere it stopped working kept force closing my texting apps. I don't remember if installed a patch to get my connection working or something. Lol thanks if anyone helps me out with this. I've been out if the scene for awhile. Also can anyone confirm if YouTube, Facebook and guitar pro tabs work on ics? I also read ics has glitches with calling and mms. I don't have time to read through forums ATM so it'd be cool if someone could help me out with getting g this stuff installed. If I absolutely need to edit the build.prop to get it working then ill do that. If you can call, text and use Facebook and the ultimate guitar app then I want to switch to ics. Thanks
Tl;Dr: I don't get a connection on custom roms anymore and used to be able to

Hello.I have a Droid 3 that I flashed with the Chinese Droid 3 radio to use on At&T,worked fine,just installed safestrap and after installed minimoto.I get no GSM service with minimoto and when I go to search for networks it says unavailable.
Is there anything I can do to run minimoto with GSM service?I hate the stock Droid 3 layout and whatnot.
Any help would be appreciated,thanks.
Did you flash the build.people?
Sent from my DROID3 using xda app-developers app
You mean the build prop? I'm sorry,i am still a noob.Do i have to flash the chinese radio for minimoto as well?
You need to edit or flash the gsm build prop patch. You can find it in the minimoto thread. Sorry dont have a link but read through and you will find it.
Or you can read this it might help.

Trying fo fix an error I accidentally formated /modem in my Atrix HD. Please help me, I don't have phone service right now! What do I do???
SOLVED
When you do have this issue, first of all you need to flash with RSD Lite. Check this thread and follow the steps (Say thanks to the OP): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231249
When you have phone service active, you will notice that Wi-Fi is not working.
Here is what I did to make it work:
First of all, download the file that I attached.
You need root access!
Extract it with 7Zip or Winrar.
Use a file manager like Root Explorer (I couldn't make it work with ASTRO)
In the file manager, give it root access.
Copy the unzipped .bin file to your phone.
With the file manager, paste it on "/persist"
If you can't copy it there, you will need to set RW permission to /persist
If there is another file with the same name already, delete it.
Reboot phone.
Enjoy!!!

Oh god, thank you so much! I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231249
Unfortunately,I don't have Wi-Fi connection. I haven't tried data services yet, but my guess is that I just need to set up the APN. Do you have any idea how to fix the Wi-Fi thing?
Again, really, thank you very very much!
It's weird because I already used 3 different NON-KLOS.bin files to flash the modem but the Wi-Fi still not working.
The data service is working and the phone service too, but I just can't get the Wi-Fi to work.
I already flashed 2 times with RSD Lite, and still the same. I checked and verified every thread with the word "Wifi" here but still without luck.
Any advice?
Which file you flashed using Rsdlite?

I took them from here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/dinara/list.php
I flashed with RSD Lite the Retail Mexico (I couldn't flash the others), but downloaded and extracted all to get the NOS-HLOS.bin. I flashed every single one of them with fastboot, different combinations, erased modemst1 and modemst2, but still the same.
It is weird because there are people saying that it worked for them. Maybe my phone is doomed.
Is weird because once you go stock again it should fix everything for you to start all over

I did format /modem again, I replaced the NON-HLOS in the zip to run it from RSD Lite but it didn't worked. Also tried again to flash the modem from fastboot but still the same.
Any advice? I don't know what else to do, since this is the solution for other peolple...
All it comes to mind is to make sure the APN are set correctly. That could be the problem as well

The APN is right, in fact I have data services but no Wi-Fi. The issue is that I have limited quota (250mb, believe it or not), that's why I need the Wi-Fi.
ProBAM does include modem as well? I just tried ParanoidAndroid (nice room, btw) but still the same. I am already downloading ProBAM, will report results again. Thanks!

Flashed with RSD Lite again, tried that but still not working.
Extra info: I tried to format /firmware and it throws the following error:
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/modem
Error formatting /firmware!
I makes a reference to the modem, does it sound familiar to you? I am still searching for another solutions
Here are some screenshots of the phone.
As you can see, first of all, the Wi-Fi option shows like if it were unavailable from the Menu.
When I enter, I can move the slider, but it returns back to OFF. It shows the message of turning on, but it doesn't do anything else. The two buttons of the left are unavailable, too.
When I enter in advanced options, the Wi-Fi doesn't have a MAC Address.
As far as I know, everything else works fine (I haven't tried the bluetooth), but I don't know what else to do.
I already did:
Like 10 RSD Lite flashes with the Mexican Retail.
Manual flash step by step with fastboot
Changed multiple NON-HLOS.bin files manually with fastboot
Wiped system, cache, data, etc, etc
Set up APN correctly (Data is working, BTW, but not Wi-Fi)
Format /modem again and tried the same procedure with slight changes
Erased modemst1 and modemst2 manually
Flashed multiple Custom ROMs
Used multiple different fastboot files
Everything following every step provided in the posts.
Still not working. Not even a clue what to do. Maybe I am ignoring an important step?
Please, can anybody help me?
Important detail: My phone is from Mexico, not AT&T, I bought it in Mexico, and it came with Mexico Retail Stock.

Just found this thread and read through it.
I have US AT&T and unfortunately made the same mistake you did of erasing the /modem directory. I tried everything you did, and ended up with the same issues.

The only thing that worked for me was fastboot flashing the US JB from where you found the firmware (the Mexico JB only worked with data):
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/dinara/list.php
Why can't you flash US? What error do you get? Can you try flashing US from this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226527
Currently, the only thing that is working for me (trust me, I have tried EVERYTHING except for Halo Blur ROM, which I may as it is close to stock) is a combination of:
1. Flashing US Retail (data/wifi works)
2. CMB rom (everything works, but phone seems to drop out).
I've noticed that NONE of the JB roms seem to have good radio performance, which has been disappointing as that's why I got this phone (from an HTC One!). It may just be that the reporting is off.
My next step is going to be:
1. AT&T stock JB with Halo
2. AT&T stock JB only
3. AT&T ICS

Likely hardware failure, and no fix.
You can try

Or
Take it apart, maybe a bad connection to antenna.
