flashed in FXZ 905, then flashed to 232 ICS leak. everything works.
there's only one problem, the carrier's name is not shown in lock screen or any where, though phone call, sms, 3g works.
used 875 in China, with China Telcom as my carrier. but the lockscreen says no service.
is there anyway to fix this?
thx a lot.

Yesterday my Milestone dropped the network and wrote "Only emergency calls". On other phones there was maximum signal. After a while the phone logged in to the network, but lost the signal again. I thought something is with the ROM, so I made a factory reset but didn't help. I flashed the correct SBF file (first Éclair, then Froyo), but didn't help. I restored an earlier MOD I used without any problem but didn't work.
I always used the German baseband files with other MODs because my Milestone is German.
The problem is that if I make anything (I mean anything related to the data connection), the GSM signal disappears, sometimes data connection remain with no problem, sometimes it is lost, too, but sometimes it has GSM signal with only EDGE network. If I do nothing, just turn off the screen and do nothing, everything goes back to normal, and the phone has normal data connection with GSM signal, I can make or receive phone calls.
I put in another SIM but the issue was the same.
Can I try something related to software and didn't try yet or this is a hardware failure? And if so, what is the price of a GSM module? I couldn't find it.
MOD: It seems that only the 3G is not working (sometimes HSPA does while 3G phone connection don't), with 2G there isn't any problem.
dial *#*#4636#*#*
Under phone info, try a different network type.
It probably defaults to GSM (auto). It does on mine anyway and it's fine.
But maybe WCDMA preferred, GSM only, or WCDMA only will work better.
It depends on which is screwing up... the WCDMA or the GSM
edit: had the dialpad code wrong... again.. geez

Are you sure you have applied the correct baseband?
I would tell to re-apply thru AOR.
Sent from my Milestone using XDA Premium App
You could go to settings, wireless and networks and somewhere there there is use only 2g networks and if that is checked, you could try to uncheck it. That is what happened to me before on the froyo mod. Also, you could try turning on airplane mode, then turn it off. Good luck
I always used the German baseband, tried to switch 2G/3G many times, applied the baseband trough OR, applied the RTEU baseband, re-flashed the ROM, the original Éclair, the Froyo, again and again but nothing helped. I gave up I decided to go to the service. Before that on a forum somebody asked something, I gave an answer but I was not 100% sure about it, so I flashed the RTEU Froyo.
And it worked. The 3G, HSPA, 2G, EDGE, phone functions all are working now. My phone is truly German, it has QWERTZ keyboard and the original ROM was the ROM from Deutsche Vodafone (tried that one before, too), it has the logo on its box, and the German baseband files always worked. I don't know what just happened, it's simply working now. Why now... don't know.
I recently got a Milestone and so far by far the best at&t phone I've had. Don't have to change any plans. It's a Telus version, and rooted. I have the latest CM7, I flashed canada rogers band files. and the connection works. But for some reason signal keeps going out. I go from Service to No Service to Emergency Calls Only to Service. Happens in all different area's. If I use an actually AT&T phone don't have this problem.
Is thre's some setting that I'm forgetting to set?
Please help.
Much needed bump
Hi all, great forum, I've learned quite a bit from just reading all the threads but I have a headscratcher I couldn't find anything on and hopefully someone can answer this as I'm losing my mind trying to figure it out.
I have a Telus Milestone which works perfectly fine with CM7 RC12 on the Telus network in Canada. Every time I travel to Europe or other places it just won't connect to the local network, just emergency calls.
I tried every single baseband in AOR 3.3 but nothing works. I also tried different roms (Cronos X 1.5, FroyoMOD 2.9.1, wiping phone, factory reset, etc.
Even tried the Moto Defy baseband switcher with no luck. AFAIK this phone is capable of 850/1900/2100 bands.
Really appreciate any help!!!
Well, according to this - http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1641030-Does-the-Telus-Milestone-support-2100MHz-3G - Telus Milestone should support European frequencies, but not 2g and it have same hw like MM for Europe.
Some time ago I was a TelusLite rom for Milestone user and it was working well with 2g and 3g after change to Germany baseband (in Poland). Without baseband change it was only working on 3g.
Maybe you need to flash some European-compatible rom (eg. FroyoMod/CM7) and then try?
Thanks for the quick reply.
I tried changing to Germany baseband which should work but it doesn't. In my case I'm trying to connect to Orange Romania which uses 900/1900/2100.
I did try FroyoMod which is Italian if I'm not mistaken, it was developed by 89luca89. Also tried different flavours of CM and Cronos.
It almost seems as if I have to unlock first or maybe Telus is blocking my account from roaming... is that even possible?
I've ordered an unlock code from cellunlocker.net, hopefully after unlocking I can use a local SIM and see if it connects.
Thanks for the help!
Hm. It is strange that it doesn't working on every rom.
Maybe Telus don't have an agreement for roaming with Orange Romania? I think that it is a problem with one of the cell operators, not with your phone.
Good luck with local SIM
Yeah, strange indeed.
I doubt it is Orange RO as I tried it in Paris, France last week and it wouldn't connect to any network there either, Orange, SFR, etc. A couple of months ago I couldn't connect to Cubacel either. I just figured the commies don't like Canadian smartphones. LOL
I have a feeling Telus has my account locked from roaming. I'm praying the local SIM will work.
Thanks again!
Well, just as I suspected, Telus must have the SIM locked from roaming. The unlock code from cellunlocker.net worked like a charm. Phone connects to local Orange RO network, full 3G data connectivity too.
It's good news I'm happy that you managed it to work.
Looks like Telus don't want you to use other operators. But there is no impossible things
Hello guys! I've been reading these forums for a long time, amazing what you guys do in here
Here is my problem: I live in México, and I traveled to USA for summer vacation, my mexican mobile phone carrier uses 850mhz (TELCEL) and when I went to USA it was using ATT's network.
So everything was working fine, but when I returned just before I was about to cross the border, it stoped working!
It has a message that says ''Emergency calls only'' where it's supposed to say ''TELCEL GSM'', so no internet, no calls, no messages.
I was using Froyo on my phone, and thought of doing a reset to restore factory settings on the phone, but it did not work :/
Then I updated my phone to Darky's Rom 10.2 (Gingerbread) and it's still not working!
When I go to Settings>Wireless and network>Mobile networks>Network operators I can see that my carrier is available to select, but when I try to, it gives me a ''Unable to connect. Try later'' msg.
It is really frustrating because I depend on my phone so much, mainly because I share my 3G connection to my laptop for school's work and stuff.
There's one weird thing though, I unlocked my phone, and placed a MOVISTAR(1900mhz) SIM card on it, AND IT WORKS!!!
But the thing is that I don't have internet on that SIM card(is prepaid and it's EDGE, not 3G), and on my TELCEL SIM card I have a contract to complete (still a year to go).
When I put my SIM card on someone else's phone, it works like a charm, but if I try to put a TELCEL (850mhz) SIM on my galaxy; just says ''Only emergency calls''
What do you guys think happened to my phone? I would really appreciate your help.
flash a new modem... one that contains more frequencies enabled.. any bell or telus will do.
UGKC1 modem should fix your problem.
It did not work, should I keep trying with other modems?
you can.. jk4 or jl2 are other modems with 850 and 1900 enabled... maybe your problem is different then I thought... but it sounds like your modem... maybe try unlocking your phone? if you can connect to wifi download sgs unlocker pro (paid app) in the market to unlock, your phone also needs to be rooted. are you using the i9000T? that may be different problem altogether...
edit: sorry I see you said it is unlocked... just doesn't sound like it...
a) modem related (ugkc1) should have fixed that
b) SIM carrier not compatible to phone (unlock phone to fix)
c) Busted SIM card, check in other phone
d) make sure phone option is set to Automatic CDMA/GSM
sounds like you checked everything I would check....
does your 3G work... make sure your VPN is setup to your carrier
maybe imei got blocked...? only way around that is to get provider/samsung to unblock
Hey have you solved this, I have the same problem

Hello
I am in a great trouble and would really appreciates if someone can help me out here
I live outside U.S and I bought XT1060 verizon Moto X yesterday. The retailer put my GSM sim inside phone and it worked fine without any errors. Voice, sms and gprs was working fine. Phone was 4.4.2 Kitkat stock rom.
Last night i went to settings > about > system update. and there i found that an update is available for 4.4.4. I downloaded the update and installed it successfully without any error. Now my phone is working like before but it can not register my cellular network anymore :crying: No voice no sms no data.
It sometimes grabs the signals and then drops and sometimes shows full signal bars with "No Service" network settings.
I have tried UMTS/GSM mode and Global mode but no use. With global version it shows some 5 digit number on cellular icon in notification area.
Please somebody tells me if Verizon version is sim-lock free then why i am having this issue?

I have the vzw too, without issues. Try a factory reset maybe?

Due to the FCC rules around the 700mhz C block auction in the USA which Verizon won, they do not SIM lock their LTE phones. And the 4.4.4 OTA on the XT1060 definitely did not SIM luck the X.
Please make sure that your APN settings on your phone are still set correctly for your carrier. If they are not, your phone will not work.
While in many cases the APN settings come down automatically from the carrier, sometimes the phone relies on a table file that is part of the ROM itself instead. If the settings don't come down automatically, and the table got changed (either settings for your carrier were removed, or are no longer correct for your carrier in the 4.4.4 update), you must manually enter them to have working services.
You will have to check with your carrier what the correct APN settings are, and check them against your phone, or visit the GSM Retailer where you got your SIM, and ask them to check it.

Which table file of ROM your'e talking about ? How do i know that my carrier is already listed in that table and how to edit that table since my phone is not rooted even.
For an update, i went a retailer and there was a guy who took my phone and did the trick and my phone gets the sim registered for Voice and data (3G). I couldn't see him doing the magic but definately he didn't rooted the phone neither he crooks the ROM every thing was in its place when i get my phone back.
So wondering what he might have changed after which phone started working normal.

If you are rooted, take a look at -> /system/etc/apns-conf.xml
That being said, you don't need to be rooted to MANUALLY enter APN settings via App Drawer -> Settings -> More..(under Wireless & Networks) -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names... But you do need the right values, and to enter them without any typographical errors.
