[Q] Unable to set SMSC with Cyanogen 10.1.3 - Motorola Droid 4

Hi,
I have a Motorola Droid 4 and I am in France (so I need GSM to work... I am not so familiar with the different types of networks).
I have installed a recovery system (SafeStrap I think) and I installed Cyanogen mod 10.1.3 (the latest stable release) from here.
My issue is that I am not able to set the SMSC on the phone (and therefore, I can't send SMS). I use *#*#4636#*#* => Phone Settings. I set the SMSC (I tried many formats, the PDU is then translated correctly into a number) but when I press back and go back immediately into Phone Settings, the SMSC is blank again...
I tried many things (reinstalling CM, rebooting, etc...) but I can't save the SMSC...
I tried installing a patch to make it fully compatible to GSM networks but it doesn't seem to help at all... (sorry I can't give you the link of the patch as I am a new user)
I really don't know what else to do right now (except buying another phone...)
Thank you !
Edit : I fixed the issue... I have no idea how, the SMSC field is still empty, but... It works !

[Q] No service, no APN - CM7

First of all, i want to introduce myself a bit, cause it`s my first post - i followed this great forum for quite a while now and learned a lot by reading stuff, though i`m still just a user... by using some howto`s i was able to flash huexxx rom zeus 3.2n and i`m very satisfied with it in daily use.
However, i would like to use Temaseks Kang or the stock CM7 and that`s my problem... It doesn`t matter which of the two roms i try - i don`t get service and there is no apn. i can`t check for available services but phone connects if i choose to sign automatically, but even then there`s no apn available.
I tried to fix the apn manually but can`t save - means, i can save but apn won`t appear after saving.
Additional information: I did a full wipe before installing cm7/temaseks kang, wiped dalvik cache, tried factory reset after installing - nothing works.
So, i hopefully await some help from this community - hope it`s not too noobish...
greetz, nbt
Happened to me once. All i did was as this :
- In APN settings, press menu and click "Reset to defaults".
- Either default APN settings from your service provider will come automatically or it won't.
- Even if it doesn't appear, reboot your phone. Just give a little time before rebooting the device after you click reset to defaults, so that if sim card is sending any message to retrive the APN settings, it would finish.
I had got my APN settings back after 2 reboots with this steps. Hope you too..
try "Apn Manager" or "apn backup and restore" you can find these in the market, maybecan helpyou
I tried both - no effect
i won`t get a connection to service automatically. If i try to scan for available services, i get an error, if the phone chooses, i get a connection but no apn.
after rebooting, there`s no service-connection and i have to join by hand. argh!!!
anybody a solution for this? am i the only one having this freaking problem?
edit: went back to zeus, got service, got apn without problem... what`s wrong with cm7?

[Q][GSM] restore radio in droid 4

Hi I have a droid 4. I bought it in the USA and used it only in Italy. It was rooted and unlocked and it has always been working fine over GSM and 3G. Then I decided to install CM 10.2.1 and then i upgraded it to CM 11. In both cases sending sms was not working (calls and internet fine). Trying to fix it I went also in the *#*#4636#*#* testing menu and changed setting of radio. But now I cannot restore it and I always get no signal. Both with CM but also booting from Stock ROM.
I flashed many times but still nothing. As first I'd like to have singal back to call and use the net (3G). then I'll fix sms.
Can I do a sort of radio otpion reset? or firmware reset?
Plese help! Thank you!
IF there is some better section (or forum) just tell, I guess it can be a common issue and not specific for D4.

I did it too
radio.img is found on the fastboot archive, no data will be lost. enter in fastboot by pressing vol up + down and power

To make your SMS work, you need to change a setting in build.prop relating to it, none of the radio settings will make it work since that isn't the problem.
ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc=1 must be changed to ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc=0

[Q] Bootloop, can't edit APN and random reset problem

I have a problem with this phone. I got it locked to a network so i rooted it and changed bootloader to new bootloader and instaled kowalski kernel ((alpha) now I'm on M1 and the problems are still here)), after that I tried many different ROMs but I get the same problem all the time. First problem is that my phone finds a network and I can recieve calls and messages but no data connection and I can't save an APN (I fill in everything and when I click save it just brings me to APN settings without the APN iI tried to create. Second is the random reboots, it just happens when I do stuff (doesn't matter what). And the last is bootloop which happens and then I leave it just to turn it on later without problems.
Could you please help me and tell me what kernel, ROM, bootloader, baseband and everything to install to make it work. I don't care about the data that will get erased. I just want it to work (even on stock ROM and kernel which I can't find) THANK YOU IN ADVANCE GUYS

I too had some problem with last R13 update:
- Contacts in SIM are no longer seen, so they can't be transferred to phone,
- Found WI-FI and mobile network turned off, may airplane mode have been set on by itself?
Now went back to R11
Brightness issue
Hello, loving the ROM so far!
Only thing I dont know how to solve is max brightness after I reboot the phone (I have set mine to minimum).
It gets back to minimum after the screen turns off or after I manually set it off.
I tried factory reset, didnt help.
Thanks for the help!

followed all steps from the openings post of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579431
I used CWM.
My question is with steps should i take if i want to upgrade to

Thanks a lot
First you have to update TWRP to 2.8.0.0. from there you can flash R13 and reboot.

Installing CM11 rel11, serial disappeared - best way to restore?
Hi folks!
I've upgraded the stock firmware to CM11 rel11 from this thread on a i9001. Now it is on EOL rel13.
By the initial upgrade I assume the serial number turned unknown, so now I am only able to make emergency calls. Until now it didn't make me upset at all, however recently my priorities have changed. (In a nutshell: VOIP telephony was kicking in, thus it would be handy to turn my GPS device a 3G and callback capable... well... phone.)
Before the upgrade operation I followed the recommendation and created a backup of /efs and /persist. Not surprisingly the backed up and current images of these partitions do differ on some bits. However at this point I became a bit confused, and teh internetz didn't answer (yet?) my questions:
- Shall I simply dd the original images back, reboot, and problem is solved? Or doing so I will brick my precious device (being even unable to restore the current state of these partitions) thus lose even navigation?
- Is there any better restore tool around that supports i9001?
- Am I totally off track, and should make some other magic? (Like using some 2013 patch that kicks out S/N check, etc.)
Thank you in advance!
Project dead?
I have tried to download R13 files. All downloads hosted by devhost failed because the files seem to be unavailable. Tested with Chrome and Dolphin on i9300 and i9001.
Can you or someone who has already downloaded the files please provide an additional mirror?
And why is R13 EOL if there is no clue of a newer Version? Have you stopped the development completely or are you preparing for Lollipop?
I have the same problem as PsychoGame
"Hello ADC-Team,
First of all thank you for all your hard work on this device, it's much appreciated.
Second I want to report a small bug which I've encountered and am unable to get past. I followed the next steps in flashing:
I flashed TWRP 2.8.0.0 on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus.
Rebooted into TWRP 2.8.0.0
Completely wiped the device (Cache, Dalvik Cache, Android Secure, SD-card, System & Data)
After full wipe installed the cm-11.0-20141011-ION-dev_connection_team-release13-ariesve.zip
After flashing CM11 installed GAPPS package
Cleared Cache and Dalvik Cache once more
Rebooted and set-up device
After the device has been set-up I'm unable to use the contacts app for some reason.
I've tried clearing Cache/Dalvik Cache and Fix Permission but this error still persists
Reflashed the CM11 package again but still no luck, the error still persists.
Does anyone have a suggestion, or is anyone also facing this same problem?
Greetings PsychoGame "
I'm unable to open my contacts, i din't have the problem with release 12. Is there a know solution?
Yes I share the same problem, as said in post 21 oct 2014 at 07:30 PM.
I can't use the contacts because they can't be read in the SIM and can't be exported to the thelepone memory.
Tried with wiping, cleaning, etc., but I had to step back to a previous release (R11) very well working.
Looking at the lenght of the files I could see that R11 is 210.888 KB, R12 is 211.708, and R13 is decreased to 189.921.
Something lost

I don't share this. The contacts are properly downloaded from Google and I can access them normally. I can also add contacts and save them!
Edit: were did you save your contacts? If you've saved them on your sim card, I'd suggest an app called 'sim contacts'. I found out I had some very old contacts stored on the sim card! I almost forgot this possibility...

I reinstalled the rom and gabs again in my pc at home and the problem is gone. I have another question I like the english language on my phone because if there is a problem and a solution it is mostly written in english. I live in the Netherlands, i tried language english us but that gave problems with reception. My provider signal (t mobile) disconected sometimes ramdomly. My solution was select english united kingdom instead of Dutch and Nederland. My question about that solution is: Is it possible that i have slighter worse reception than if i select country Netherlands and language dutch of shouldn't that change make any difrent i means of reception signal strenght?
Thanks for the fast response smitharro

I don't think the language settings of your interferes with the signal of your provider. I always use English with Kpn..
Hello folks,
I still am having problems with contacts from SIM.
To make short a long story:
-1-I have my contacts (216) in SIM.
-2-I must have them in SIM because sometimes I have to put SIM in other phones neither Android nor Google.
-3-That means I do not save my contacts in Google Cloud.
-4-CM11 doesn't use SIM directly (R/W), so I used to select all contacts in SIM and transfer to Phone Memory (not in Google Cloud).
-5-I could do that until R11 and R12.
-6-(Note_1 : before an update I perform a total wipe and a factory reset)
-7-Now I installed R13 with the same procedure: factory reset and instal ZIP
-8-The transfer of contacts is not possible because contacts in SIM are no longer visible,
-9-If I install R12, copy contacts to phone, then install R13 on it without erasing nothing (cache, dalvik, reset) then i can see contacts previously transferred under R12.
Note (tried as suggested by smitharro) "sim contacts" from market. It Reads and Writes contacts on SIM, but cannot transfer to Phone, I get this message "operation failure. try again".
My question is: how can I transfer contacts from SIM to phone under R13 as per step -7- and not pass via step -9-?
I may make something wrong, but do not understand what.
Help please
Many Thanks

I tried to copy one of my old contacts from the Sim to the phone with 'Sim contacts'. It works perfect! The contact is visible in in 'contacts' after this operation! It isn't visible when it's only on the Sim card however... Sorry but I'm afraid I can't give you a solution for this, other than just use Android phones...
Hello people,
Thanks smitharro for the test you did with "sim contacts" with R13.
It doesn't work with me; if I try to copy with "sim contacts" (by Needom Studio), it gives me the message "Operation Failure" and stops.
BUT
Then I tried with "sim manager" (by Robotobia) and all was perfect: I could copy from Sim to Phone and from Phone to Sim.
(Info: my sim operator is WIND, memory capacity 64 KB)
I hope this could be useful for other people that might have same problems.

Glad it finally worked out for you! I used the Needom Studio app. That one worked fine for me. Don't know why it didn't work for you. Most important: your problem is (somewhat) solved, although it's just a workaround. The Rom still doesn't read the sim-contacts 'by itself'. For me, personally, that's not an issue. Hope the rom will be made 'perfect' before it reaches it's real EOL... On the other hand, nothing in life is absolutely perfect! remember: this rom is brought to us absolutely with no charge by people who volunteer to do this development, just because they like doing this.
Still confused
Hi again
I'm still confused, whether it is safe to dd my saved partitions back to restore my serial number. (Still not 100% sure if these partitions are bound to a particular firmware revision, e.g. only usable as a source to harverst my serial from, not to restore anything; and neither 100% sure if dd is the best tool to rewrite them.)
Having no - even a short - answer means I am asking something pretty obvious? By my opinion if it were obvious, google had answered it already - but it didn't.
Any answers appreciated.

First of all, your question is not fully clear to me. What doe you mean by serial number? You're IMEI number? If you've lost that, your phone is nothing more than a small tablet. This is a unique number to identify your phone on the provider's network. So you'll have to restore the backup!
The serial number in my phone however is 'unknown' in the rom. But the rom works fine! There's no need to have that for the use of this phone. I don't know where it was stored in the original rom, but be very careful with messing with the 'EFS' partition!
Thank you for your reply!
My IMEI number remained well, however I learned that both IMEI and serial (S/N) is needed to have a phone (e.g. to connect to carrier) instead of having a tablet.
For example here is said: "IMEI is showing now but still no calls and sms. I also noticed that the serial number is not the same as the one written at the back of the phone. I have read that restoring EFS solves this problem".
There is also some magic ("azira patch") to S3 that states the same. It operates by bypassing serial check, but since it is old (2013) and originally for S3, I'd rather stuck restoring my /efs partition.
Backing up /efs is written down everywhere. Restoring it... well. Mostly external tools are mentioned, that don't support i9001.
Even further, suppose restoring /efs and /persist is the solution for my problem, I think I know how to do that. At least by dd. What I don't know is that the structure of these partitions is fix or may change between Android versions. And of course: if I rewrite them to original, will my device boot again?
Considering these, any idea if I'm off track, or not?

I never touched my /efs partition nor will I ever! My phone is running fine without the serial number displaying in the rom! I can make phone calls, send text messages and I have mobile data! So you really don't have to restore the serial number. Possibly it's still there and still used by the provider, but is the settings app simply not reading it... Sorry I can't help you more. I'm not a developer, just a user...

No Service Until Reboot

I get no service often and it does not go away until i reboot my phone. I have tried the following but failed.
1) Unlocked bootloader and installed CynogenMod 13.
2) Installed Team Bliss Firmware
3) Updated Radio and Bootloader to S4UTL 49
4) tried the 4636 code and manually set the preferred network to LTE/GSM Auto and GSM Auto too.
5) Tried Different Sim Jack.
6) Tried different network sims.
7) Now i am back on stock rom 49 but issue persist.
Please provide me a solution or atleast give me an idea how do i make my system to reboot on no service automatically so that i dont miss important calls.
I believe this is a known issue with poor service areas.
Sadly I do not know a solution either.
When i use my sim in other phone it works fine and i have no such issues.just with driod turbo i am having this issue.
I, too, had this issue, but only when I went to the Brazilian MM ROM. I did not have that issue on stock LP (unlocked bootloader, Xposed).
the only thing different I did to help resolve it was I went into the developer options and set the "Aggressive to Cellular handover" to on. You may also want to see if "Cellular data always on" works as well. However, when I just checked this setting, it was set to off (but I had flipped it to on about a week ago, and I'm wondering if it defaults to off on reboot).
so see if one/both of those options works.
I switched both on let's see what happens.
try also to see if this happens after a phone call. I'm wondering if the lack of VoLTE is causing the issue. could some issue where the device thinks that there is a call connection when really not???
Same issue with me, When I Google I found this is common with Motorola mobiles but found no solution yet, Please help if any one have resolved it yet
