Hey Folks,
I got anxious and thought flashing a new baseband would give me the edge in my area. Well, the original baseband I had on my Droid was the c_1.07.00R....
I tried flashing the following:
C_1.3E.01P
C_1.3E.01E
C_01.41.00R
C_01.43.01P
From http://download.peteralfonso.com/sholes
Now, I don't get ANY mobile data connections. Looks like the baseband has stopped working. WiFi is fine. I have Verizon service, and live in a slightly remote area that was once popular with Alltel. I'm guessing the radios in my area haven't been updated with LTE or the new technology...
Now, to my question. Does anyone have a link or file for the C_1.07.00R baseband?? Or do I flash an original ROM to attempt a baseband switch??
So far (in my reading), it seems ROMs don't affect Basebands. Is there an .SBF that would fix my issues?? I need to read more on .SBFs. BTW, I feel comfortable using ADB.
\_/\_/ Cheers for any info or help!!
Well... no response from the forum! I found that if you reload an original image through a .SBF file, you can restore the A854 baseband to 1.07.00R.
Unfortunately, this didn't resolve my mobile data network connection issue. Keep in mind there are several Droids out there... Verizon, Alltel, European, Asian, Australian... A853, A854, A855 ffffffuuuuuuuuu.....
Verizon is sending me a new phone; Droid2 replacement. Hopefully, I can keep this one going. READ!!! READ!!!! READ!!!! Learn everything before doing anything.
Peter Alfonso's basebands are specifically Verizon's Basebands for the Motorola Droid (A855). It is not known as the Droid on any other carrier.
Also, after flashing a new Baseband, it clears any PRL information, so you must dial *228 to reconfigure the PRL for the phone. You will then get all voice/data services after that.
I have the same issue on my VERIZON Motorola Droid A855
I have the same issue I even Reinstalled the Default image
VZW_A855_FRG22D_QSC6085BP_C_01.43.01P_SW_UPDATE_01 and even went back tro the default baseband then went out and did a*228 and option 1 and still no mobile data connection when I try to do a *#*#4636#*#* and go into Phone Information and tried several of the Network types
1) CDMA Auto(PRL)
2) GSM/CDMA Auto(PRL)
3) CDMA Only
4) EvDO Only
Then after each on of those I would go down to menu and "select radio band" I tried
USA and Auto and got this error message Set [Automatic] unsucessfull and Set [USA] unsucessfull I'm starting to think this is a hardware issue possibly from overclocking it I had it set to min 250Mhz and max 800Mhz or it's some setting somewhere deep in the Android OS that needs to be reset I'm still troubleshooting but everything else on my droid is working great.
This shouldn't be related to overclocking, I think. It's something about CPU, not radio.
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!
Now wait, you got a Droid 4 working 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!
how hard is it to get Droid 4 to work with Canada (Rogers)?
Do u have to have unlock it and then update to ICS, and then you're all set?

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. I created a full Rogers how-to on droidforums.net, you can view it here :

so you're saying that all droid 4 are already unlocked?
Yes. They are still blocked against US GSM carriers but will work fine everywhere else, no locks.

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.

I got mine from xda but now that's closed...

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.
Terrible Reception on Telus (stock 217, -100dBm)

I went through the process today and got my stock Verizon 217 Droid 4 working on Telus. I verified the Telus APN settings, went through forcing GSM/UMTS and UMTS-only mode, but still have terrible reception: 1-2 bars, -100dbM. Any thoughts for getting better signal?
[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?
System version: 98.72.18.XT894.Verizon.en.US
Android Version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: CMDA_N_05.25.00R LTEDC_UI_09.1D.00
Kernel: 3.0.8-g473e586
Build #: 9.8.20-72_VZW-18 Feb 8 13:11:57 2013
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.
This problem is not new with verizon phones
You can search XDA for more info, check in Galaxy S3, S4 or Nexus 5 forum
My customized MOTO X from verizon not taking a GSM sim in india.
I tried many sims from different carries, but failed.
It showing full bars with carrier logo, but no calls and sms, only data is working.
When i tried to call someone it shows "Mobile Network not available".
I check IMEI, it is in good condition
and one more thing
When i putting my IMEI on imei.info
It showing XT1055 which is us celluar.
But my one is XT1060
I have bootloader unlocked, flashed cyanogen, sprint rom, roggers rom but no luck.
and my moto x is working with CDMA OMH sim
I do not why it is acting like a us celluar MOTO X which accepts only CDMA sims
Now i am on 4.2.2 Verizon ROM, GSM sim is not working, Showing "Mobile network not available"
I had the same issue after a friend of mine used my VZW MotoX on TMobile.
He upgraded for 4.4 to 4.4.2 while he had it running on TMo. I think that the update has broken the radio.
After .sbf back to VZW stock everything works great
I think it may be IMEI problem..
help get my moto x back on vz - not able to make calls

I bought my Droid Turbo about two weeks ago to use it in Europe. I checked all freq and bands of my carrier and I also spoke with a guy who is using Droid Turbo in my country (Poland), all was ok. I got my phone and before inserting the sim card I updated to lollipop 5.1 OTA. After inserting my sim card the phone detected my sim and connected with network (LTE). I thought that everyting was ok untill I started using Droid Tubo in a daily basis. The phone is constantly switching networks. Its loosing lte signal switching to 3g for example, then to gsm. After a while its reconnecting but not always, sometimes I have to restart. I was trying almost everything: wiping from recovery, wiping via fastboot, switiching network connections by hidden menu commands, changing apn settings... I noticed that my problem seams to be similar to the problem which was solved by 21.44.8 update which: "Fixes an issue that could prevent proper switching from 3G to 4G LTE. Fixes issues that could trigger a dropped call, prevent a call from going through, show that no service is available or show that a SIM card is not inserted" - this is quote from motorola update release note. This quote very well describes my problem. After doing almost everything what I could I decided to ask for your help, because Im starting to think that this is a hardware issue. I am looking forward for your help and will be very gratefull for any suggestions.

Hello, I have almost the same problem. I recently bought DROID TURBO and i was using it w/o any problem for about a month. and Poland is also my country I did everything like you including update to lollipop before inserting SIM card. Everything with the phone was ok until i tried to change cellular bands in menu to see if it will affect battery life in some way.
Unfortunately my Droid Turbo is now refusing to connect to any network. To be exact: it is logging to my network ( i have checked it on the service hotline of my carrier ) but then after about 3-5 sec. signal bars are greyed and no connection to the network. I've tried three different cards from different carriers and with all a have the same result. Now i cannot use my Droid Turbo as a phone ....... i've tried factory reset, cache cleaning, disabling Verizon apps&services .... nothing... Could someone help me/us, do you have any suggestions ?

Hello again.
The only way i've solved this network problem on non-rooted Lillipop is to install new firmware using Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant for Droid Turbo. You have to run this software and use the rapair button then it downloads new firmware and installs it on your phone.
i have same problem.
just flash last firmware with fastboot
