I followed the instructions on the first post of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406812 but I'm not sure if it has worked or not. Would like to know before trying to activate the phone. I would post on that forum, but because I'm a n00b, it won't let me.
Here is what I have done:
1 - Make sure you are on the stock XT862 ROM, if you aren't flash it via this method found here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4370-sbf-...959-and-56890/
Click to expand...

Download link was broken, so found stock ROM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686911 and flashed the phone OK.
2 - Make sure your phone is rooted, if not download the following and follow the steps found here: http://www.psouza4.com/droid3/

Bad link, so got Super One Click and was able to root the phone with that.
3 - Unlock the phone. This can be accomplished by purchasing the unlock code, and later entering the code upon insertion of a sim card. (T-mobile ATT sim cards will work, but you will get an error saying UNLOCK FAILED, this is NORMAL do not freak out)

Got SIM from Straight Talk and unlock code from Unlock Fusion on eBay. No problems there.
4 - Download the following files and unzip it to your desktop: http://www.mediafire.com/?y1wjw775v8itsx3
5 - Click Start and open cmd.
6 - Type in the following in cmd:
'cd desktop'
'cd fastboot'
'moto-fastboot flash radio radio.img'
ONCE it flashes, then enter:
'moto-fastboot reboot'
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Took me a while to realize I had to be in AP Fastboot mode to make this work! Saw the box and android icon with progress bar, so I think this worked.
7 - Use root explorer to push the build.prop into the system folder
8 - Reboot, select GSM/UMTS in Network Settings.

Did both of these, also set APN settings per ST instructions.
Problem is that I have no service still. Shows grey bars with red crossed circle. I'm hesitant to activate the phone as I think I should be able to see bars even without activation. Or is it normal not to until activation?
did you set phone to gsm/umts? I am currently using a Droid 3 on straight talk and love it, also ,did you get the simm for an unlocked phone or att or tmoble

I have the phone set to GSM/UMTS, but have also tried Global as someone on that thread suggested that might work if GSM doesn't. I specified an unlocked phone when I ordered and got a SIM that was for Unlocked or AT&T.
I guess the real question is, am I supposed to get service bars before activating the phone? I haven't purchased the activation for it yet. However, I think I should be able to dial 611, but it says no network is available.
I tried re-flashing the radio several times and copying build.prop from the zip file into the /system folder. Still getting the no signal icon. Once I got a gray box with a red plus inside, but on reboot it was gone and the no signal icon was back. Shouldn't I get signal even though my phone has not been activated?

I changed it back to the stock build.prop. No signal. Then changed it back to the build.prop that came in the zip file. Still no signal.
I guess what I'm going to have to do is do a factory restore and start all over again.
I wiped all user data and started over. Performed all the steps again, except I didn't have to unlock the phone. Still no service. See attached picture for what I get.
I have gone through the steps several more times, tried a different order (SBF, flash radio, root, build.prop), tried 2 other build.prop files posted on that thread, and even tried a different program to root the phone (motofail-gb). Same results.

Here's a picture of the phone info. Looks like everything is correct. Any idea what I might be doing wrong???
So I'm trying to configure my Droid 3 for net10, and I keep getting stuck at step 6. I enter everything into the terminal and it says "waiting for device." I did some reading and tried "motofastboot -i 0xfce flash radio radio.img" and still get the same result. Is there something I missed? I have root. I haven't changed the ROM so I don't think I would need to reflash with step 1. I got the unlock code from Verizon and after I installed the net10 sim and entered the code it said "unlock successful." I've tried it both with the phone turned on like normal and hold M+power and selected AP Fastboot and neither seems to work
*update* I reinstalled the drivers and the flash was successful. I copied over build.prop into the system folder (overwrote the original) and now I'm stuck with no signal. Added the APN exactly as it is in my wife's phone (which is active on net10) and nothing. Where should I go from here?

SIM is unlocked. When I search for networks, it finds ATT 2G and 3G and Tmobile 2G but won't connect to any of them. I'm reading through the 48 pages of the other thread looking for info. I'm thinking of trying the XT883 stuff outlined on page 18

You HAVE to use the XT883 radio and build.prop, the stock XT862 radio will not work on US GSM networks, Verizon had blocks put in the radio firmware to prevent it from being used on competing networks (such as AT&T). I use the D3 on Straight Talk with an AT&T compat sim, if you need help with the XT883 stuff, let me know.

Also, is the SIM already activated? Else it will NOT be accepted onto the network (it'll show signal strength under 'status' but no bars) it only shows signal bars if registered on the network. Since it 'sees' AT&T and T-Mobile (when you scan networks) I do not think it's a phone/radio problem.

Awesome, so when you decide to activate your sim, it should work fine! Good to hear, also I suggest (if you followed the instructions for data) remove the 'proxy' field. It actually blocks a few apps and whatnot and try to keep data usage around 1~1.5GBs a month. Else you'll get throttled or possibly cut off.

The APN I used for her (and now me) I actually had to piece together from three different ones I found. I don't know why net10 would change what they're telling people to use, but until I set it up like this, it wouldn't send or receive MMS. The current ATT APN on their website doesn't work at all for me. This is what I ended up with that works great

So I've had this phone for almost a week now and I used to he able to get 4g LTE. But ever since I rooted it, I no longer get more than 3g. I now have bananacakes Holiraider 1.6 but I still don't get any higher than 3g. So my question is how do I get 4g and 4g lte. Oh and if anyone is using that custom Rom, is it possible to get faster than 1512? In his thread it shows you can clock it to 1566. Thanks a bunch I'm kinda new to this!
try dialing *#*#4636#*#* and see what your modem is set to, it should be GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto
you also may have an APN issue, verifiy that your APN is correct, perhaps contact your carrier for the correct APN settings for you phone and plan.
Well I'm now running a custom ROM. The apn is the same as other users and it does say the above. And yes I am in a 4G LTE area
Sent from my HTC Raider X710e using XDA App
Try doing the above and change to LTE only.
Then once you have 4G change it back. It should stay on 4G. I had to do this to get 4G on official rom.
Ok I just tried that but it wouldn't let me to switch it to LTE only. When I did, it switched it back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto. I'm just gonna relock my phone and set it back to the original stock rom and format my phone (yes I have the apps and stuff backed up). Because my actual mobile connection fluctuates on and off as well
the phone should be locked into the GSM/WCDMA/LTE setting. If you try to change it from that setting it just returns back. The phone will get instructions from the carrier's base station to tell it whether to be on LTE or just 4G/3G. Using *#*#4636#*#* under phone information, what is listed as the Network type?

It is locked in GSM/WCDM/LTE auto.
above that option it should tell you the network type. it is about half way between the "run ping test" button and the "Set Preferred Network type" option. Need to know what it says there.
Oh ok I see what you mean, it says HSDPA
make sure that you are in a active LTE area. toggle the radio off and on. the network type should change to LTE if it is available. remember that if you make a phone call your phone will drop back to just 4g/3g and it might take a second for it to switch back to LTE.
I live in Los Angeles so I'm like in the center of the LTE center in Southern California. But for some reason my phone won't get anything higher than 3G, and my actual cellphone reception toggles on and off randomly too.
It worked before. For the first 3 days atleast. And now all of the sudden it wouldn't work, so I rooted it and installed a custom ROM
Try one of WildChilds custom ROMS. LTE works on both and they're tailored to US users.

if the problem arised before you rooted and rom'd the phone I doubt the rom is the problem. there is always the chance that you have a bad radio.

That's what I'm thinking... What would I do about this?
i would verify your sim with another 4gLTE phone and vice versa.
Hrm... So it could be a Sim card problem eh? Unfortunately there are no other LTE devices for me to get a hold of... Would this be the only way?
it could be. i hope you have pulled battery/sim and then rebooted already. you can verify your phone with a known good sim and verify your sim with a known good phone. I would try your local at&t store. they might be able to help.

Droid 4 On Rogers Wireless (Canada) - Incoming "Pay Phone" caller ID Solution
I recently got my XT894, Droid 4 in the mail, and hooked it up to Rogers Wireless in Canada.
When I was receiving phone calls, the built in dialer would tell me that "Pay Phone" is calling, the solution to contact the Rogers Customer Care, and have them remove the "Name Display" option.
Rogers has 2 services for call display:
Name Display (which does a phonebook lookup from Roger's Side)
Call Display (the number of the dialer who is trying to dial you)
Most motorola radios don't actually support these 2 features together, so Blur reads it as "Pay Phone". After contacting Customer Service, have them remove ONLY "Name Display". I restarted my phone then everything started working properly again.
I hope this helps someone!
First off, I wanted to say that I'm on the leak 6.16.206
I also got mobile hotspot working on Rogers (this solution may apply to other rooted users running on different providers).
I added the APN settings as defined originally here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20366961&postcount=2
Name: Rogers Tethering
APN: isp.apn
MCC: 302
MNC: 720
APN type: dun
otherwise, any other fields are showing as <not set> OR None
When I tried to add dun to the apn type, the moto UI told me only providers could add DUN types, so I went into SQLite Editor -> Phone/Messaging Storage -> telephony.db -> carriers -> Located the last APN which I added manually, scrolled over to "type" then long pressed that field, chose "edit field" and added dun. Once completed, I restarted my phone. I now have the stock mobile hotspot app working (I had to also disable the entitlement check earlier) on Rogers!

Yup, no LTE though, just GSM HSPA
Sent from my XT894 running ICS
I can confirm that the Droid 4 works on Rogers. Took a week of fiddling, but it works.
Received the Droid 4 with 2.3.4 installed. Did the over-the-air updates to 4.0.4. Rooted it, installed SafeStrap 3, and installed Olegfusion's CM10/JB ROM (4.1.2), and was off to the races. Shows "E", "3G", and "H" when accessing the Internet.
have you ever try with stock kernel?
I wonder not to update to CM10 right now. I have a problem, it seems to connect, 3G/H letter, bu no tranmition. I have an old jaj, Droid3 working perfectly with same APN records.
Any thing that could help me??

LTE on this phone is not compatible with the Rogers network. If you want a Rogers LTE phone, pickup the Motorola RAZR HD. The phone will operate on 3G or 3.5G, although we in Canada consider HSPA+ to be "4G".
LTE can give you rates of up to 100mbps usually gives you about 25-30mbps
HSPA+ can give you rates up to 12-15mbps I usually get 4-5mbps
I hope that helps!

The phone comes unlocked, you just have to load up ICS and throw on the Rogers APN (rogers-core-appl1.apn) and you're good. If you want to do some of the advanced features like setting up wireless tethering and stuff along those lines, you'll need root.

Maybe someone can help me, I'm on Rogers. I have this same issue on Stock ICS .217 and on CM10. I can make phone calls and send text messages, but I cannot receive either. When I put my sim card in to another phone, I start getting my text messages. Any ideas on how to remedy this?
Have you tried another SIM card in your phone? Sounds like you have something wired. I would also check to make sure you are in global mode on the phone.

eBay, yes.I got mine as "bad ESN" from a liquidator, it was quite a good deal. Obviously, by now you can find clean ESN versions for below $250.
Anyways, I am on Koodo/Telus. Under Mobile Networks Settings / Network Mode set GSM/UMTS and Select Network must be UTMS only, the default finds GSM which is weird because Telus AFAIK does not even have a GSM network! It has CDMA, HSPA+, LTE even iDEN but not GSM. Before I forced UMTS, phone calls worked more or less but mobile data rarely. Since I forced UMTS I get mobile data everywhere, inside buildings, all that -- I had lots of reception problems with Wind Mobile, Telus is infinitely better.

[SOLVED] DROID 4 Canada SMS/voice only, no data on Rogers/Fido - help!
SOLVED! see below.
Droid 4 from Ebay, $135 or something + shipping. Replacing my string of bad luck with i927's from smartphone_wholesale (aka Cell Phone Forever) on ebay (tho the 1st one they sent was great til i lost it).
SMS/Voice is fine but cannot do any cell data on it. Following all settings on fido's site for APNs the fido-core-appl1.apn doesnt work. Had to manually put it in (APN list was blank). Tried my wife's Roger's sim, it populated the APN list itself (4 of them, all combos of internet w or w/o MMS, and rogers +/- 'internet' in the name). None of them work either (they match what's in the fora here and on the rogers site, rogers-core-appl1.apn etc).
Im a bit of a newb: is my phone not unlocked properly or something? What gives? Radio is set to global or GSM/UMTS (CDMA doenst work of course). What's the solution here?

yes mobile data is on (and roaming set to yes but phone states it's not roaming now)
every time i've added apn's and saved i've rebooted (and rebooted twice with wife's SIM in too, in case settings had to go sim -> phone + reboot, etc). No luck any way ive tried.
Thanks for help.
[UPDATE]
belay that request cadet!
Ok I just removed the wife's sim and put mine in, rebooted, and this sim (fido) doesnt populate the APN list. I was in the middle of inputting settings for it, hadn't finished and a buncha text+ came in and wifi is off (I saw I was on Edge, big blue E on status bar). Then before I could even react I had hit save, and data turned off.
Yep, removing "internet" from the APN 'type' works fine. Leave it blank.
W t f. Maybe someone can explain that shiz to me.
Hello Everyone,
I've been tempted to purchase a Droid 4 but I'm currently on the Page plus Network. I've seen many tutorials for flashing 4G LTE phones on to page plus but I didn't really see a tutorial for the Droid 4. I was wondering since the D4 is similar to the RAZR/BIONIC, if I can just follow those tutorials. I really want to use the D4 and would appreciate it if someone were to help guide me through the flashing process.
Thanks A lot,

Now my only challenge is getting 3G Data. For every razr/bionic tutorial I saw they went to the Phone info (*#*#4636#*#*) to try to set the radio test settings to get 3G/EVDO. For some reason on my Droid 4 when I enter this it simply disappears on the dialer and nothing happens. Does anyone know how to get 3G working on the Droid 4. So far all I did was disable all the LTE APNs, Enviroment, lte bbpanic disable, and change the sim type to 3g test uicc.
Can anyone help me out with this?

OKAY! After hours of playing with my Droid 4 on ICS on the Page Plus Network, I finally got 3G to work!!!!
First off, I realized the *#*#4636#*#* aka the INFO code wasn't working on the Droid 4 model because it doesn't exist in the firmware. Instead going through the program menu (##PROGRAM) I was able to access the test mode there and change options.
From my D4 ICS experience, to get 3G instead of 1X I had to
1. Access the Program Menu from the dialer ##PROGRAM aka ##7764726
2. Enter the SPC (000000)
3.Scroll Down to LTE TEST SETTINGS
4. Click SIM TYPE and then Choose 3G Test UICC then click Apply
5. Scroll down to LTE bppanic and select disable then click Apply
6.Then Scroll down and Click (Disable Class 1 APN, Disable Class 2 APN, Disable Class 3 APN)
7. Then choose LTE Movement detection and select Disable.
8. Click back twice the phone will restart.
At This point according to tutorials you should have 3G but if you're like me and unlucky didn't have 3G then do this.
1. Go to the dialer
2. Enter ##PROGRAM aka ##7764726
3. Then enter SPC (000000)
4. Then click Test Mode
5. Click Next and then click next again then you should be on the field test Screen
6. HDR hybrid mode should be (ON)
7.EVDO revision should be (A)
8. CDMA RX Diversity should be (OFF)
9. HDR RX Diversity should be (OFF)
10. Finally look up to where it says Network Mode
11. Change it to EVDO only and Check the top where your signal bars on. Give it a minute, it should pop and say 3G. If it says 3G and you can proceed to the final step and change the network selection to CDMA and EVDO and then back out of the menu.
12. There you go! You should have 3G on the Droid 4 now in ICS running on Pageplus.
In Gingerbread it was a whole lot more simpler. I hope this solution will help people running ICS.

OKAY! After hours of playing with my Droid 4 on ICS on the Page Plus Network, I finally got 3G to work!!!!
First off, I realized the *#*#4636#*#* aka the INFO code wasn't working on the Droid 4 model because it doesn't exist in the firmware. Instead going through the program menu (##PROGRAM) I was able to access the test mode there and change options.
From my D4 ICS experience, to get 3G instead of 1X I had to
1. Access the Program Menu from the dialer ##PROGRAM aka ##7764726
2. Enter the SPC (000000)
3.Scroll Down to LTE TEST SETTINGS
4. Click SIM TYPE and then Choose 3G Test UICC then click Apply
5. Scroll down to LTE bppanic and select disable then click Apply
6.Then Scroll down and Click (Disable Class 1 APN, Disable Class 2 APN, Disable Class 3 APN)

By the way. My 4G lte sim card was in my phone the whole time. I don't know if it makes a difference but from the moment I got the the D4 and started flashing I left my D4 LTE sim inside my phone.

Hi Jeanr464. Does the 3G survive a reboot? The link to the howard forums tutorial in post #3 seems to indicate you need to;

Hey devinpatterson!
I can't tell you how many times I rebooted my phone or my phone died and has to turn on. The 3G does stick after reboot and the activatiion doesn't come back. I guess once the phone is succesfully activated the screen doesn't come back. Once you configure your phone settings to get 3G just leave those settings alone. I can confirm on. The droid 4 that it sticks after reboot.
Although, I can tell you if you remove the sim then the phone acts crazy with activation and all that jazz. While I was experimenting for hours getting 3G on the phone I saw some places that you have to remove the sim. So I did. And then activation and emergency calls and everything popped back on,until I put the sim back and reboot the phone.
According to all the tutorials I saw and my experience as long as you use a blank lte sim and successfully activate the phone (manually/*228 etc) the phone sim is programmed to work with your phone and removing or putting another sim with cause activation and data settings to trigger again.
Hope this explaination helps! Best of luck,

Hi jeanr464. Thank you for all of this brilliant info about the Droid 4 with ICS. I'm a newbie also wanting to set up my new Droid 4 with PagePlus and wondering, does Snoop's step of dialing *22800 for activation work on this phone? If not, is manual activation something different, and if so, how do you manually activate? And in general, do all of Snoop's steps work except for dialing *#*#4636#*#* work for this phone?
Thanks in advance,

Hey tubaman101,
To answer your question, manual activation is basically manually programming the phone and doing all the steps that *228 would have done. From my droid 4 experience getting on to pageplus, *228 didn't work right off the bat because of sim restrictions or some type of error. What you have to do is manually program the phone first with the correct settings to make basic features works then you'll be able to dial *228 where it will correct everything and fix everything to work like data and roaming etc. According to Snoops tutorial, basically what the manual programming is is the step where he enters ##7764726 aka ##PROGRAM and fixes the min and the mdn and settings the cdma only option. From there you have manually programed the phone. Then after setting those options when you try *228 it should work and then *228 will correct and program automatically all the phone options which then you should have perfect talk text and 1x. To get 3G just follow my steps above on how I did it.
To make it all simple(I'm going to summarize snoop' method) once you get the D4 and a blank sim, insert sim, enter bptools (tutorial shows how), set the phone to nvonly and evdo rev a with cdma workshop, dfs tool or qpst (tutorial shows how to) then from there enter ##PROGRAM in the dialer manually program your phone min and mdn (if you don't know what it is you can request PP customer service or PM me to help you get it, and set your phone to cdma only mode (tutorial explains how) and afterwards *228 and your set.
After to get 3G follow my steps.
It was very troublesome for me at first because I had no clue how to do this but I've done 4 droid 4s and a razr with this method so far so I've became slight savvy with it. If you have ANY trouble just list it here or PM me and I'll be more than happy to help out.
Good luck,

Hi jeanr464. I sent you a PM about if it is necessary to load a PagePlus prl file during the process, but I have a couple more questions.
I started with the steps you outlined using DFS. I don't think the nvonly and evdo rev a settings stuck because I got some sort of error message in the DFS Tools log, and I was not able to complete the next step of dialing ##program.
I'm wondering if it is because my sim isn't blank. I bought my Droid 4 on eBay new. (It was actually a warranty replacement phone that had never been opened or used.) It came with a new Verizon 4G sim card on top of the box. I wonder if this card was "assigned" to the previous owner, and so perhaps isn't blank.
Do you think I need to buy a new "blank" sim card? …and if so, do you have any recommendations as to where to get one?
Also, I was wondering if the port I chose in the CDMA tools was the right one. I chose "COM 6" in the attached picture. Was that correct?
(In case it matters, I'm doing this in Windows 7 on a partition created on my Mac computer.)
Thanks again!

Okay, I don't think the sim card would be that much of a problem, but if the problem persists after trying the next steps then you can get a new one off ebay for 5 dollars like I did. In any case, you did choose the correct port in DFS tools. You brought up a very good point that I forgot to mention. You do need to load a pageplus prl. The one I used during the process was the 51720 EVDO prl. Once you find that one "google will be a great help", open up DFS tools and then make sure after you load up the program and select the port you enter the SPC 000000, its on the top right corner of DFS I believe ( I used Cdma ws). After that overwrite the PRL using the program and then make sure you set nvonly on nam 1 and nam 2 and set evda a. If you keep on getting errors with DFS tool let me know. In this case we might have to figure something else. In any case if you are successful, then once you trestart the phone you should if you hadn't already, bypass the activation or welcome screen, if you don't know how to do that let me know but if you are already on the regular screen with the apps and everything then proceed to the dialer and press ##program and follow the rest of snoops guide and you should be fine.
Honestly, the hardest part of this whole process is the programming on PC. After that you should be fine. As far as windows 7 is concerned, I used windows 7 and I was fine.
Enter the Phone in BPtools
Connect to PC
Go to system settings and make sure you got the diag port com #
Open DFS
Select the com # and read
Send SPC 000000
Load PRL 51720EVDO
Write it to the phone
Change nam 1 and nam 2 to NVONLY instead of RUIM
change data to EVDO REV A.
make sure all settings are written and restart phone
If you are at the welcome screen bypass it (four corners unlock) if the phone is at the regular menu with the apps then go straight to dailer and ##PROGRAM
Change MDN and MIN
enter test mode and click next until you see the options to change the phone network to CDMA only
click back twice and the phone should restart
at this point you should have somewhat some type of service but then press *228
It might reject it the first time but try again and the activation screen will come up and the music will play and activate your phone
After that look above to figure out 3G
If you still have trouble PM me and we'll see what we can do.

Forgot to mention one thing, after you program the phone on DFS tool you should switch the esn from PP from your other phone. Your MEID is the IMEI without the last digit so you should have 14 characters in total. Once you switch the esn or set a new activation from PP then proceed to the step with the ##program etc.

Jean I think I followed all the instructions on here but it still says fail to connect NAM after I put in the MIN and MDN so I can never I finish programing my droid 4 to Page plus. Can you please help me.
Warning Droid 4 JellyBean Upgrade + Pageplus Users
Just a fair warning to everyone using Pageplus. As you all the Jellybean update has been released and your phone might've already offered to upgrade your OS.
DO NOT UPDATE!!!!! I REPEAT DO NOT UPDATE!!!!
Although JellyBean is very beautiful, this update will break your Page plus configuration. I had two friends already who were on Droid Razr/Maxx and updated to JellyBean. The whole CDMA WS config has been reset so options like NV_ONLY and evdo config has been erased leaving the phone in a non working state- In terms of calling, texting or data.
I'm very tempted to get JellyBean and everyone is looking for a safe solution to upgrade to JellyBean and have PP. As far as I've seen online, there have been successful tutorials but it required re-flashing the system to a factory state and re-configuring and other had it where you need a new sim and was necessary to root the phone. I'll be experimenting and posting my results soon. If anyone comes up with a success, please share!!!:laugh:
Good Luck and be pre-cautious!,
jeanr464
Working Perfect
I have my Droid 4 JB flashed working with full 3G on Pageplus never activated SIM and no problems. Same way as with the RAZR/RAZR MAXX. You can use any sim and not have any problems.
What was your situation?
How did you do it? I performed a straight upgrade and my config screwed up. Did you just reflash it and reconfigured it? Can I apply the same CDMA workshop method to this firmware?

Getting 3G to stick
Hey. Thanks for the tutorial on how to get 3G working. I haven't gotten it to work for some reason. I'm running ICS and I have 1X working. My girlfriend has the same phone and I did the same thing, but for whatever reason, not even 1X will work on hers. I did your settings in the ##program menu. The LTE and test settings. I'm not having luck getting 3G to stick.
It also seems that I cannot always get data to work by toggling wifi off. I have to not be around it or turn off my router. Getting 1X to work seems to sometimes be random. If I get 1x working and then If I go into the ##program menu now and turn EDVO only, 3G will come up for about 5 seconds and then disappear. After many restarts and trying things, 1X is all I can get. I wonder if it has something to do with where I am? Great Falls, Montana.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Try this.

Okay, I'm actually stumped about your situation.. Seems very awkward. In any case let's see what we can do. "Hopefully your on ICS and not JellyBean"
I'm going to post my phone settings and try to match her settings to mine. You said you already did the LTE bbpanic off , apns disable, and test settings...
Okay Go to test settings in the program menu, click next until you see the Field test screen and make sure your phone matches these settings:
Service Option - EVRC
HDR Hybrid Mode - ON
EVDO Revision- A
Network Mode- CDMA and EVDO
CDMA RX Diversity- OFF
HDR RX Diversity- OFF
then hit the back button on your phone twice so it can restart.
If 3G still doesn't work then we need to CDMA WS your phone. It would seem the there is something wrong with the EVDO settings. To me it sounds like the EVDO protocol might be wrong.

I can confirm I am not on Jellybean. I didn't update it yet because I thought it might break it. Also all of those settings match on both of our phones.

Okay. So... I think it might have to be with the configuration of the phone. I believe it could be:
1. The PRL
or
2. EVDO settings
So we're going to have to CDMA WS or DFS your phone and check the settings. (Recommend DFS since everything is available.)
www.cdma-ware.com or http://www.cdmatool.com/
Put your phone in Bptools mode - (Turn off, press volume +/- buttons and press power, scroll to bptools, press volume up)
Connect it to the computer
Go to device manager and find out what COM port it's on.
Open DFS and select the ports on the top left, double click on the port of your phone (A green circle should appear next to it after your click) then exit out of the port selection screen.
Then on the top left of the screen under Ports you should see SPC. Click on it to unlock the SPC of your phone.
Now click on the Programming tab. Once you click the Programming Tab, Click on the NAM tab under ( It's between general and Data).
Now there should be a section to the right that says PRL. on the bottom click READ and then tell me what PRL number shows up. (The number is located in the box on top of the Read button).
Afterwards, click on the Data tab ( It's next to the NAM tab you clicked earlier)
On the bottom there should be a READ button. Click that button.
Now Tell me in your next post if the PPP config to the left has your phone number @dun.vzw3g.com and post all your the MODE settings
Ex:
SIP NAI= (Your Phone) @dun.vzw3g.com
UID=(Your Phone)@vzw3g.com
MODE:
HDR SCP force AT config: =
HDR SCP force release 0 config=
Hybrid preferred mode:
Data MDR (HSPD) mode:
Data service option:
I'll Post screenshots of my phone config so you can compare. Before you change anything POST what your phone settings display.
Hope we can solve this,

I have an unlocked AT&T xt1097 but it won't register my T-Mobile Sim card. It registered for about 3 minutes, got a welcome to T-Mobile text and that was that. My phone number shows up in settings, but it shows I have zero service. I've reset, and rebooted several times to no avail. My sim works in a nexus 6 so it's not the sim. Imei os clean. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be or how I could get it to work with my T-Mobile sim?
When you say unlocked, unlocked Sim or unlocked boot loader?
sim unlock. As far as I know there's no boot loader unlock.
Could it be that the imei isn't in T-Mobile's data base since it's an at&t moto x?
Edit: went and put the imei in to tmobiles imei checker and it couldn't figure out what device it was and if it was okay to use on their network. Now I just need to verify with T-Mobile and see if they can register the imei.

Change the APN settings
I have had a problem like this with my unlocked phone and AT&T, but when they set it up in the AT&T store they fiddled with the APN settings. I had to do the same to get my wife's unlocked Lumia 635 to work on the T-Mobile network. Try the values used in the link attached and see if it works.

I was able to connect to tmobile network some times, able to make calls. No data connection at all. I played with APN settings and everything else. any help..?
I have an unlocked ATT x1097 and it works just fine with tmobile.
You just have to MAKE A NEW APN SETTING.
When you put a tmobile sim in it, it will automatically create a couple of T-MOBILE apn settings. Just leave that as is and create a NEW APN SETTING with same info you can find from Google. Select that as your data apn. And reboot the device for the best result. It should fixed the problem.
For those of you whose sim does not register into tmobile network; i think it could be one of the following reasons:
1. Original ATT modem does not work well with tmobile frequency in your area
2. The device is locked (stolen, non-payment, etc)
3. The device is broken
4. Your SIM card is damaged
As long as you are at the home screen with tmobile sim, your phone is GSM UNLOCKED, and it iwill never lock again.

Just wanted to say thank you. My T-Mobile SIM wouldn't connect and I even went to the T-Mobile SIM store to get a new SIM Card but it didn't help. As you stated, adding a new APN setting was the only thing that worked.
For those of you who want to unlock your Moto X, I purchased a code on eBay for about $8 and received it within 6 hours. I would post the link but I'm afraid it might be considered spam.
What type of data signal are you getting? LTE?

When you put a tmobile sim in it, it will automatically create a couple of T-MOBILE apn settings. Just leave that as is and create a NEW APN SETTING with same info you can find from Google. Select that as your data apn. And reboot the device for the best result. It should fixed the problem.
For those of you whose sim does not register into tmobile network; i think it could be one of the following reasons:
1. Original ATT modem does not work well with tmobile frequency in your area
2. The device is locked (stolen, non-payment, etc)
3. The device is broken
4. Your SIM card is damaged
As long as you are at the home screen with tmobile sim, your phone is GSM UNLOCKED, and it iwill never lock again.

Nice. Where did you get your unlock code?
I don't know about OP but I have always used swiftunlocks and have had great luck. Got my N6 from ATT unlocked through them without issues as well.

I noticed that sometimes phone picks up apn without issues and sometimes you have to restart so I just restart every time I make a change to be on the safe side.
Just in case anyone else has the same issue as OP, you should use the
Code:
epc.tmobile.com
APN, NOT the
Code:
fast.tmobile.com
one.
The fast.tmobile.com one would not let me register on the network. epc one did immediately.

I have an unlocked AT&T xt1097 but it won't register my T-Mobile Sim card. It registered for about 3 minutes, got a welcome to T-Mobile text and that was that. My phone number shows up in settings, but it shows I have zero service. I've reset, and rebooted several times to no avail. My sim works in a nexus 6 so it's not the sim. Imei os clean. Does anyone have any ideas what it could be or how I could get it to work with my T-Mobile sim?

Hey, I know this post is kind of old but I am currently having the same problem with my moto X 2014 going from At&t to T-Mobile, were you able to get it fixed and if you did, what did you do?
Any luck? I've just come accross the same issue. Got phone unlocked, and bought a new sim and activated. I'll get like 3-4 minutes of service randomly here and there, but about 99% of the time no service. Tried multiple variations of APN settings that I've found online. No luck
Fixed all my seriously annoying connection problems by flashing the 4.4.4 modem.

I just gotta upload the 4.4.4 modem from my pc, will do that later for you.

Neither one works for data... Just got it unlocked from swiftlocks and I can get voice, but no data :crying:
Someone help!! ...plz
Anyone ?? T-Mobile reps are mostly useless, and keep telling me that my device may have been ' re-locked ' to AT&T after a hard reset !! I know that's not the case because I've thrown in a Vodafone sim and it recognized it ! The sim unlock was purchased from SwiftUnlocks and the phone took it in one try w/o any issues!
Now, I can't even get voice to work... All I see is ' No Service ' and when manually trying to register with T-Mobile, it says ' unable to connect to the T-Mobile network. Please try later '
Someone please help out!!
This is my first post after being on here years and downloading many roms.
Last night, I was trying to redo my nexus 6 (T-Mobile) back to factory and then upgrade to the 6.0.1. One of the posts I had read had talked about installing the latest bootloader and radio. I did. Since then, I can't connect at all to T-mobile. I have tried factory restore, downloaded the Google image and installed, and tried numerous things. Everytime, everything appears to go fine until I boot up and can't connect to T-mobile at all. Tried going back to an old android version and radio and same thing. Rom boots and installs fine. No network. Hope some one has a fix for this and thank you in advance. Tried looking it up online and couldn't find anything that worked.

check your apn. if you booted, and alls running fine, then the rom isnt your problem. most likely your apn is wromg or missing info in it. that happened for everyone when marshmallow just came out.

I tried the T-Mobile APN settings listed here and on the internet. Wont even attempt to connect. It actually won't even let me choose outside of CDMA.

Meaning..I set my APN to what is on the internet for T-Mobile. No change. I cant select anything other than 3G and still won't connect and all that shows up is CDMA.

dial *#*#4636#*#*
then select phone information
scroll down, until you get to set preferred network type
select LTE/GSM
does that change anything?

I dialed what you said. There is no phone information option to select and nothing dealing with set preferred network type.

I agree. Nothing about this is making sense as to why I can't connect to T-mobile network and the only thing showing is CDMA. I have screwed up my phone before but always been able to fix it.
