GSM USER INFORMATION FOR KEXEC ROM
It seems there is a lot of confusion about using the rom on GSM networks... false information about requiring build.props, flashing radios, etc. so I will give some general information...
EITHER METHOD; THE PHONE MUST BE UNLOCKED WITH EITHER AN UNLOCK CODE FROM VERIZON OR BOUGHT FROM A 3RD PARTY SOURCE.
FOR DROID 3 XT862 ONLY, XT860 REQUIRES A PATCH FOR RADIO DRIVERS.
UPDATE; ATTACHED PATCH TO THIS POST, UNTESTED BY ME, ASK OTHER USERS IN THE THREAD FOR SUPPORT, I DO NOT OWN AN XT860.
USING NON-US "FOREIGN" GSM NETWORKS
Radio;
Stock XT862 radio
build.prop;
Default included build.prop (Edit lines ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1 and ro.telephony.default_network=7 IF REQUIRED to ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=0 and ro.telephony.default_network=3 respectively. )
MAY NOT BE REQUIRED TO EDIT THESE LINES
Required options;
Under Wireless & Networks section; UNCHECK Enable alt OEM and Enable Alternate getIMSI, then CHECK Enable World Phone and Enable GSM Signal.
Reboot the phone.
Back in the menu; select mobile network settings, change Network Mode to GSM/WCDMA, check/add/edit your APNs.
NO FLASHING/MODIFIED BUILD.PROP REQUIRED (except mentioned build.prop edits which are NOT required, just cosmetic, might not be needed)
USING US GSM NETWORKS (AT&T, T-MOBILE, Etc)
Radio;
XT883 radio (Baseband n_34.18.16s)
build.prop;
Edited build.prop attached to this post. (No editing required, remove .zip from the end)
Required options;
Same as above.
Follow instructions on flashing the radio here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406812
Use the radio img I uploaded here; http://www31.zippyshare.com/v/98608047/file.html (It's newer than provided in previous link)
Copy the attached build.prop (make sure to backup original) to /system and set permissions rw-r--r-- (644) remove .zip (it is not an actual zip)
MUST FLASH XT883 RADIO AND COPY BUILD.PROP, ELSE NO SIGNAL, PHONE NUMBER, BASEBAND, ETC.
Personally I use a Droid 3 XT862 on Straight Talk's SIM BYOP plan with an AT&T version SIM, I get HSPA 14.4 network and average ~5 to 5.50Mbps download speed. Only issues are known issues with the phone, everything radio related works flawless.
MMS ON GSM WORKS.
Just remember to include "mms" in the APN type, or as required by your carrier.
Just for information; If your data seems unstable, you can try my ril lines in build.prop that seems to have stabilized my data (Tested on MavROM on Straight Talk) these are ALREADY INCLUDED on the attached build.prop.
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.hep=0
ro.ril.hsxpa=5
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28
ro.ril.enable.a53=1
ro.ril.hsupa.category=6
The main line here is "ro.ril.hep=0" all other lines are not required and may be placebo. This line seems to be key for making 3g stable, especially data roaming.
UPDATE
Updated the build.prop using the CM10 Kexec 11-03 as a base to bring it up to the 'latest' and reflect correct system version in system info.
Attached a reported patch to make the radio work on the XT860
Attached CM10.1 build.prop base CM10.1 2013-04-20
Attached CM10.2 build.prop base CM10.2 2013-08-14
REMEMBER TO RENAME THE FILE TO build.prop THEY ARE NOT ACTUAL ZIPS, THEY WILL FAIL TO UNZIP.

Same as you. Claro, XT860 and 03-11 AOKP. Installed the JB XT860 patch and now phone works, but i've got a com.android.phone FC when I try to go "Mobile networks" settings (to add APNs and stuff).
Its currently on GSM auto (PRL) as in stock rom (checked this in *#*#4636#*#*).

Does data conectivity (3.5g / 3g) works with this patch?
As long as your provider has the frequencies for 3G the phone supports.
Must say that I flashed and followed steps and have mav rom 4.5 running on ST w./ att simple and works good. Using safestrap 3.05. Been trying to run cm10.1 3/10 build and a few other older builds of cm10.1 and have not been able to get modded build. Prop to work. Flashed g it in safestrap slot one in this order cm/gapps /build. Prop. It does not boot. If I do not include the modded build. Prop I get it to oot but of course no signal or baseband, phone number ect. Any suggestions? Really would like to fly 422 on this phone.

Which build.prop are you trying to use? The one from the xt883 thread or the one I attached to the OP? The attached build.prop is not a flashable zip, remove the CM10.1.zip and put in /system and chmod 755. Tested on 3/06 and works for me, will be trying to update sometime soon to reflect newer system.
So open cm zip place in system(I know where it goes there) what is chmod 755

Remove the zip extension, its not actually a zip. Chmod 755 is setting proper permissions. At the moment cm10.1 hashcode took out all the world phone stuff, so signal bars are broken, a bit complicated, etc. You can do it for fun, but I suggest to stick with mavrom (I use 4.0, 4.5 is exactly the same except it has overclock scripts, which have a bug and drain battery so I stuck with 4.0) also 4.2.2 still has the issue of not mounting the sd card (I just rebooted to 3/06 and neither internal nor external mounted) so definitely not a daily usage.
Ok so that would explain allot. I was running 4.5 and I can't get over 8hrs usage. Thanks for all the useful info.

Thanks for the thread. Needed a T-Mobile phone and this saved me some money. CDMA phones always seem to come cheaper around me.
Does anyone know how I'm getting 3G on T-Mobile though? I thought it only supported AT&T 3G bands.

Tmobile is currently refarming its umts/hspa network to 1900MHz, which is the same as AT&T, and thus supported by the D3.
This website has user-reported sightings of refarmed areas. This of course is not all of them, feel free to report it yourself if you get 3g in your area and it's not shown.
Could someone mirror the build.props for the stock firmware and the cm10.2? The archives are corrupt when I try to open them.
EDIT: Never mind, it would help if I read though the entire post.

Looks pretty amazing. I don't know if I have the guts to try that on my Telus Milestone. I would probably lose 3G (but Fido at least has EDGE too). Maybe I'll just wait that out for now.
I wonder though, in another thread I was told:
DAGr8 said:
cmstlist , there is an easy way to retain your baseband just flash the HK sbf , then , copy paste these files and make sure you set the permissions correctly .
Probably safest to do via adb if you dont make sure you reboot ...
for the 3G baseband Hack/Swistch it 5 files from /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default
File_Audio , File_Audio2 , File_GSM , File_Seem_Flex_Tables , generic_pds_init
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So perhaps if you want to try Motosense on your Telus Milestone, then you should backup these 5 files (and take note of the permissions) before flashing the nandroid image. Then afterwards if 3G doesn't work on the Motosense image, restore the same 5 files.
I would imagine Titanium Backup might be a viable way here to copy most of your app data from stock to Motosense.
Still... how in the world... was this accomplished?

Can you keep us posted about the developments of this?
since you are the other half of Dext3r in porting the Motosense, i sure hope people here will appreciate it very much.
Anyway, can this be done in a Telus Milestone?
looks very interesting, i know that nexus one. 2.2 is out now, so is it possible to get the 2.2 froyo from there and then load via the same method, this would mean flash and maybe the wifi may work?
I got me a DROID 3 Verizon branded ... just wanted to give an updated on how I did make the data connection run because it really was a pain in the a....
- unlocked the Mobile by a code being send by http://simlock24.pl ... probably other will work as well!
- Rooted the device installed root browser (Android play market) to manage files on Droid 3
- I updated the Verizon to the lates version.
- downloaded Maverick 3.5 here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/maverick-rom-d3/200510-maverick-rom-v3-5-droid-3-a.html
- installed safestrap and used the instrauctions in the maveric thread to upload maverick and get rid of the complete Verizon bull****...
- I flashed the radio from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1189727
- I did change the build. prop by adding at the very end:
#
# GSM SIGNAL IMPROVEMENTS
#
ro.ril.hsxpa=3
ro.ril.gprsclass=12
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=28
ro.ril.enable.a53=1
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.htcmaskw1.bitmask=4294967295
ro.ril.htcmaskw1=14449
ro.ril.hsupa.category=9
- there are a few other settings in the build.prop to be done to get some things fixed - NO Verizon network
ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=0
and
ro.telephony.default_network=3
- I did restart and then - important - I had to define the APN ! by starting filling out the name, funnily a few of the data were added automatically- saving and 3G data connection was enabled !
Resume:
I tried a lot and some of the failures see below:
- RS Lite never worked! - not matter what version was used!
- Be careful wiht the battery... if the battery is too low , the docking station helps!!! put the Droid3 in the docking station and you can get up to the safestrap menu to start reloading of updates etc. Keep in mind - in the fastboot modus the device is not loading the battery!
- Liberty - didnt work at all
- there is a maverick version in this forum and I failed to use it, beause of updates I would have to do via RS lite.... which didn't work.
- My first way to make 3g data connection work , was simply adding the GSM update in the build.prop... - after updating on the latest release of the Verizon software - BUT for some reason - that I haven't understood until today- it just worked 1 week. Suddenly my access to 3G network was completely denied.. thats why I had to search a new way decribed above !
- tried different build.prop .. lot didn't work.. so be careful with overwriting !
Hope that helps !
thnx to Rwaley who has helped liek the other guys in this and other froums ;-) where I collected everything bit by bit.. to make things run ! and F... off to the service quality of Motorola and Verizon... grrrr I hate them... ;-)
Not sure why you had so much trouble but my droid 3 works fine on every rom in europe. All I'm using is ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=0
yeah. same as DYP said.
i choosed to edit the build.prop to change 7 to 3 in the network ...and thats it.
the link from "- I flashed the radio from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=1189727"
si not good
Ye I'm also using stock radio
well..
Hey!
i choosed to edit the build.prop to change 7 to 3 in the network ...and thats it.
if it works for you great ! but it just preselects instead global now UMTS/GSM.... actually it should have worked before already - you woul dhave just to select the setting in the menu.
Maybe my Verizon has a different Kernel or Rom or whatever... if you check the Forum there are a lot of people having issues and it seems some have got things worked easily.
Just to give you the internal details:
my Kernel:2.6.35.7-g5fa4155
[email protected] #1
anyway.. if other one can make things happen without changing the system.. cool !!
Mine says 2.6.35.7-g790a33c
[email protected]#1
baseband N_03.18.29P
My Droid 3 does not connect well to the 3G network in the UK either, even after all the modifications to build.prop. If I had not obsessively needed a physical keyboard, I would have jump ship to the Galaxy Nexus!
I had this but it was because I had an old SIMcard. Wouldn't let me save APNs.
Got a new simcard and voila

It's not that my phone can't connect to and get 3G. It's just that the connection is fairly unstable.
This will only modify what needs to be tweak in the build.prop.
It will not modify anybody else's build.prop work.
This means it can be used after you install a custom ROM and
keep any changes your dev has made to their own build.prop.
I have screen shots of my 3 Mps DSL Line and my LTE.
If it gives any indication about how much more performance gain there is
WiFi gives me up to 2.9 Mbps normally.
LTE gives me close to 30 Mbps normally.
Revision 2:
little less aggressive on the phone itself
little bit better WiFi and LTE speeds
cleaned up TONS of code and named everything!
Also the 2nd version will save a backup so you
can restore your old build.prop if you do not like
the changes that were made from from the tweaks.
AND it should keep the original build.prop.
Mind you, the undoer will only work with version 2.
you can also make a swap file (paging file like windows)
command will be
# busybox mkswap /dev/block/zram0
# chmod 077 /dev/block/zram0
# reboot

I have tried and failed miserably! I am no means a "true" programmer BUT

I will make a flashable fix in the morning with instructions on how to do it.
I will also have a screenshot of what to type as well. The script will still do
the same thing as the flashable BUT in the terminal (manual way)
Just ran the .sh
I just modified and ran the SH from the command line. Only had to remove one > per file. Thanks, my speed increase isn't amazing, but its solid. You are Awesome.

Yes, the latest version. It's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1978304
I use it on Verizon, so I have no idea about editing build.prop, though I know that there are plenty of people who have posted in that thread about editing build.prop, so I guess search the thread. If you are on VZW, you definitely don't need to edit build.prop. If you have an XT860, there is a link in the OP for an XT860 version. Read the original post carefully so you know what you are getting (i.e., there is no built-in software keyboard - you'll need to get one from the market.)

Just flashed it , no signal [ Got a droid 3 from verizon unlocked .860 in Europe ] I'll check the post for some GSM hacks . Battery improved in comparasion with the ics but i played a low graphic game for like 10 minutes and 20 percent of my battery gone . Atm im looking for some tutorials for editing systemui.apk and frameworks to customize the deodexed rom . Hope Haschcode will eventually build a good battery kernel for our beloved droid 3
Well I got permission from zarboz to use this kernel, but having problems with WiFi. Tried with sun_dream sense 5. Tried wiping cache and factory reset still same problem going to try on stock. Well tried on medusa Rom same problem. Must be in kernel. Any help would be appreciated and welcomed.

The more info we can gather the easier it will be to find a fix for this. So if someone can test this out and give us some feedback, thank you very much .
Is there any other kernel for this phone that has WiFi working? Maybe I could try to get the WiFi piece from the good one and put it into this one.
The medusa and sense 5 would I just replace all WiFi references.

after flashing this kernel, could you do this for me:
1. Flash UKM http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/zip-synapse-script-universal-kernel-t2736986
2. Install "synapse" (its an app), reboot
3. Go into synapse, you should now be able to configure the kernel (if you still cant, refer to the link above).
4. Post screenshots of EVERYTHING
5. Upload your build.prop (/system/)
i wish i had a first i could go through the file system myself.
Edit:
Hopefully stock android filesystems stay the same from version to version. im on 5.0 at the moment on my nexus but try some of these things too:
1: delete this folder /data/misc/wifi/ And /data/misc/dhcp and system/etc/wifi reboot. (try deleting 1, then reboot, then if it doesnt work, delete the first 2 folders, reboot, if that doesnt work, delete all 3. try different combos).
(and/or)
2: force stop Bluetooth Share (i think you can go to apps>all> and find it there. reboot
3: drain the battery to 0. like make sure the thing is DEAD and wont boot even into recovery. let it sit for some time. plug in your charger and turn it on at the same time.
here is some additional info. if you want to try this. go right a head!

Hello all!
I registered here so that i could share a possible solution to the stuck wifi problem. On my nexus the BT was also stuck most of the time.
Been having the problem for about two weeks and was about to do a clean install and, if the problem persisted, call Google support. Thing is, I had the feelling it was software related and that the hardware was ok.
I´m not sure if BT, Wifi and NFC use the same hardware but the fact was that wifi worked for a few days, BT for a few more and NFC was always functional.
I did some extensive research thru the web and it seemed that this problem was not nexus unique and seemed to be related with wpa_supplicant.conf or wpa_supplicant in the bin file.
On this page, mind you the text is pretty old and not entirely android related:
http:_//_blog.linuxconsulting.ro_/2010/04/porting-wifi-drivers-to-android._html (I can't post links yet so just copy past and remove spacing)
I found this little snippet that caught my attention:
Seems that you can add ap_scan=1 to your wpa_supplicant.conf depending on the drivers you have.
After some more research on the subject of ap_scan i found that:
It seems that addind ap_scan=1 imposes that wpa_supplicant.conf handles the scanning and AP selection. IF there's something wrong with the driver, and not with wpa_supplicant as i originaly thought, this could bypass the problem.
So I added ap_scan=1 just before the device identification lines in wpa_supplicant.conf, reeboted, and now the wifi and bluetooth toggle normaly. I've tried ap_scan=0 (the driver handles the scanning) and the problem returns, so ap_scan=1 does allow you to toggle the wifi and BT on.
I can't yet verify that the phone actually connects to a wireless network and has the same stability and range as before as I'm at work and there's no wireless here.
Therefore I ask for your help to verify this "fix" and thoughts on this.
Sorry if the post is a mess. Both english and programming aren´t my native languages...
My device is a Nexus 5 with stock 4.4.4 KitKat and root.
Greets.
---------- Post added at 10:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------
So, quick update:
Managed to find an wireless network around and connected to it. Some time later, no sure how much, the phone rebooted.
Some time after that the wifi and Bt were stuck again. Accessed wpa_supplicant.conf and deleted the new wireless network information. Rebooted and all was functional again.
Seems the fix is incomplete as any rewrite of the wpa_supplicant.conf reinduces the initial problematic behaviour...
____________________ Extra Update_______________________
Ok, so it seems that the wpa_supplicant.conf is suposed to have ap_scan=1 by default.
After boot and when I connect to a wifi network my file resets and shows without ap_scan=1 and instead of:
ctrl_interface=wlan0
its
ctrl_interface=data/misc/wifi/sockets
Wifi with a conf. like this never works. If I manualy "correct" the file and reboot, the wifi toogles on, but after a wifi connect gets busted up again.
by now I've done:
- copy wpa_supplicant (the bin file) from a stock 4.4.4
- Check file permissions for all wpa_supplicant files
- dirty flash the stock build (it's my original build so less harm done i guess)
- 2 Clean installs
- 6 factory resets
And the problem persists.
I've called google support and they are sending a new phone as we speak. Now I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware problem (maybe a combination of the two?) but I figured it would be better to reroll a device instead of trying to fix this one as this problem is cleary out of my league.
Thank you all!
