Hey everyone! Not sure if the solution to this is posted somewhere else but i've got an issue (kind of) with my XT1058, a Rogers Moto X. I just unlocked the bootloader and flashed the T-Mobile zip with the 4.4 Software (and it's running beautifully btw, with minimal errors) and I seem to be able to get AWS LTE, however i've lost the 2600 MHz frequency. Anyone know if flashing the radios from the Rogers 4.2.2 file over this 4.4 T-Mobile will cause any problems? And if you can, how do you go about to do it? I'd like to get my original radios back.

You're better off flash the sbf 4.4 at&t modem files , the 4.2 modem firmware will cause the settings to force close on kitkat

Or even the retail brasil 4.4 modem files, it is a newer modem rev then AT&T has and 2600 Mhz LTE (band 7). I have used it and can confirm it works without issue but I didn't use the 2600 Mhz support(but I know 100% it has it)

So basically I download the 4.4 for Brasil and extract the non hlos and fsg files and flash them with fast boot and that should restore the radios for Rogers right? Sounds like an easy fix, I'll give it a try!
I'm loving the T-Mobile version though! It's great, just wish I can replace that 4g icon with LTE at the top

Yes, that is correct.
And I agree, I'd much rather have the phone say HSPA or LTE instead of the stupid "4g" that the american providers insisted upon.
So I followed Steve-X's advice and I can confirm that it works! Just had to download the retail Brasil 4.4 firmware from the sbf portal and I used the mfastboot to flash the sequence outlined in his post above. A million thanks!!
1053 vs 1058
Tradeoff seems to be between 1053 without a couple possibly useful LTE bands and 1058 with locked bootloader and hard-to-remove ATT bloatware . Got the 1053, then the 1060 ( in hopes it might be possible to flash a new modem and gain access to magical non-existant LTE bands ) which I am returning, and may indeed get the 1058 if it seems worth the work to unlock and maybe get a more modemy device. Sense?

Hi
just fyi in case someone runs into this:
I have WIND Moto X (XT 1097) which was unlocked (I am on Bell Mobility Canada) - with the original 4.4.4 firmware:
system: 21.31.52.victara_retca.retca.en.CA
baseband: MSM8974BP_2147.127.04.57R,VICTARA_RETCA_CUST
I manually flashed the retail 5.01 image (I thought the Wind soak test issues came only from OTA)
RETCA_XT1097_5.0.1_LXE22.46-22_cid14_CFC.xml.zip
After I flashed it 5.01 booted fine, but I lost cellular radio. With no way to DOWNGRADE, I thought I was hosed, but after reflashing the 2 original modem files:
fsg.mbn
NON-HLOS.bin
I was back up in 5.01 Lollipop with the radios working again - so I picked up my Bell signal.
I am just wondering now, is there a way to downgrade from 5.01 to 4.4.4 and have the radios working ? Ideally I'd like to reflash this stock image:
RETCA_XT1097_4.4.4_KXE21.187-52_cid14_CFC.xml.zip
Thank you

JUst do exactly the same process BUT dont flash fsg.mbn and NON-HLOS.bin. and your phone will restart on 4.4.4 with radio signal
The 5.0.1 image you flashed was the Telus image, not the Wind Mobile image, which is why you lost your radio. You can flash the original Wind mobile 4.4.4 firmware and you will be back to 4.4.4. You will need to flash the files manually(mfastboot) instead of using RSDlite as one of them will fail as it doesn't allow downgrades, this isn't an issue though.
No this won't work because it gives downgrade errors.
Steve
Hi, not flashing using rsdlite - using mfastboot.
Would you have a link to the original Wind firmware or the full name of the retail Wind firmware image ?
Also - seeing my phone is supposedly unlocked (works now on bell) why would flashing the telus radio vs wind break ?
Thank you!
No this won't work because it gives downgrade errors using mfastboot
Steve
Hi
The 4.4 and 5.01 image didn't have any reference to Telus or wind they both said RETCA. However If you have the name of the Wind retail 4.4 image I'd appreciate it.
A few details:
First, I'm running 100% stock everything. However, this issue has also happened on Cyanogenmod 13, and both Motorola support and my carrier aren't very helpful, telling me to clear the cache which obviously hasn't worked.
I did an OTA update from Android 5.1 and I get no signal at all now. I have no idea why this is, it only seems to occur on Android 6.0.
What model is your device? Have you tried just flashing the modem files for your device?

Apologies, I should add this as an edit. Model number says Moto X (2nd Generation), System version 24.11.18.victara_tmo.tmo.en.US tkpca. Not sure what else you need, modem files have been reflashed but still no luck Out of ideas.
what is "tkpca" end of system version? Telus ? And this FW is for T Mobile XT1095. I guess your phone is XT1097. Maybe you flashed wrong FW before update . You should flash right FW or you can flash only modem to get signal back

It worked on the 5.1 FW that I flashed though, and doesn't work on any version of 6.0. I flashed the FW provided by Moto on here:
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images (Moto X (2nd Gen) Pure Edition: L-5.1-LPE23.32-21.3 TMO)
(And yes I have reflashed the modem)
I had this issue too with the OTA I received on xt1092 EU. I reflashed the modem with 5.1 fw, while keeping everything else on 6.0 fw. Worked for me, might work for you too. Good luck.
I have the same issue, on what I had thought was an EU xt1092. I uploaded the xt 1095 5.1 stock files to it a while ago and rooted and it has been fine. Did Marshmallow original OTA yesterday and it's lost cell signal. Some more investigation shows the imei of the phone to a be a AU variant! Wasn't expecting that. Reflash to xt1095 stock 5.1 bought service back again. Have tried a few different modem files, But I can't get signal with 6.0. Any ideas? Or any magic modem files . I also can't sideload the EU 6.0 OTA, it fails with signature problems.
I'm experiencing the same problem. I received the OTA a few days before Christmas, and now I'm still without signal. Just tried flashing Android 5.0 modem partition (from Motorola), but it didn't work.
My phone is the XT1097, but everywhere I searched said that the XT1097 and XT1095 were the same phone. I'll try flashing the modem partition from the 5.1 recovery image, I'm just waiting for Motorola to give me access to it.
EDIT: and yes, I flashed 5.1 from Motorola and it worked like a charm. Then OTA came and it messed up my phone's signal.
I have 5.1 modem files from moto for the xt 1095 and they haven't worked for me .
StillBrilliant, did you have the 1092 modem files or the 1095 ones? If you have 1092 is there any chance you can post them.
Just flashed the 5.1 image modem, and it still doesn't work. Any ideas?

My XT1097 is from Brazil, no carrier, bought it directly from Motorola's site. The weird thing I've found is that the update version has retbr in its name.
EDIT: fixed it. Found a thread that had the retail images for XT1097. Downloaded the Brazil version and flashed the modem. It works now.
I thought mine was a reteu, but not so sure now.... Imei listed it as an Australian phone! (I bought it from someone who reviews tech) I am in the UK, but now not so sure which modems I need!

Ok, here is the full 6.0 for reteu:
http://www.filefactory.com/file/6q0pj4hr2sh5/VICTARA_RETEU_XT1092_6.0_MPE24.49-18_cid7_CFC.xml.zip
Use the commands in fastboot:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
That should get you back on the correct modem for your phone. Or if you want just flash everything in this zip to be 100% stock 6.0 for the reteu model.

Thank you, I think I might flash the whole thing back to stock with that and start again.
As a bit of a newb here, the fastboot system system.img command isn't working for this chunked image. What is the system image command for sparse, or the quickest way to rechunk them together. I've been searching but I have come up with about 15 different methods!
By the way, flashing the modem files from that image worked. Thank you but I would still like to go back to stock.

hi. i have a mototorla XT890 which is from usa region and its bootloadder is locked as well, im trying to change the region to eu but cant as the bootloader unlock is not allowed by motorola! is there anyway i can get atleast french language in my phone? can i use the mfastboot commands to flash the european region rom thru this on a bootloader locked US region phone?
and is there french language in any of the US region firmwares? pls help
WBR
ReyTech
Didn't know there where USA variants of the xt890, because of a different baseband. Gsm vs CDMA. And those don't work together.
U can flash the signed images manually with mfastboot and see what happens. Just make sure the base ROM u are now on is a JB one or even KK. Then only flash the following images from another rsd packages, always go for JB or higher:
The system...
The boot...
Then erase your cache and data partitions through mfastboot and it could work.

There isn't a USA variant nor was the RAZR I sold in the USA. In the USA there is only the RAZR M. He most likely bought an imported phone if it is truly a RAZR I. Or he has the RAZR M which is the CDMA version of this phone sold at verizon.
The fact that he can't unlock the bootloader makes me think he has a RAZR M because those can't be unlocked. To verify, run:
fastboot getvar all
It should have all the info about your phone.
Also in the USA we have both CDMA and GSM. It depends on your company. For example verizon, sprint, and us cellular are CDMA, but all the other companies like AT&T, tmobile, virgin, etc are GSM.

I previously converted my XT1096 to XT1095 and when I finally decided to flash a 8.1 rom I have yet to find one with working sim detection and baseband shows unknown. I have since restored back to original XT1096 firmware and restored my original EFS and still have no luck so any help would be much appreciated.

I tried one or two unofficial 8.0/8.1 ROMs on my XT1097 and wouldn't detect the SIM card. Do you mean you still have no SIM on stock firmware? You have to flash the modem from the firmware that supports your Region/Carrier:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
Right now, only Mokee has official 8.1 releases, which I haven't tried, so I don't know if it's detecting the SIM on all variants.

None of the options under mobile network are available everything is greyed out can't change anything there and also tried dialing*#*#4636#*#* to get to pho e info and can't change anything there. I thought restoring back to 100% stock XT1096 and restoring my original modem and EFS would do the trick but it was more a wast of time lol. Hopefully with future development things will work out eventually.
Any conclusion? I just did the same with my girlfriends phone. XT1096 and flashed MOKEE 8.1, no sim detection and terrible battery drain although I have MOKEE 8.1 running on my XT1095 perfectly.
It's odd because it works in 7.1.2 on the XT1096 though. 8.1 works just fine on the XT1095
Hi,
I'm using MetroPCS service w/ sim card my Moto E5 Play XT1921-5 (Sprint Firmware). The phone came with Assurance Wireless out of the box. Talk and text work fine but data does not work whatsoever. I've tried every combination of t-mobile's and Metro PCS's APN settings but to no avail. I've done the OEM unlock and applying the fix included in the"XT1921-5 AUTO_APN PERMANENT" zip file via the ADB tool, drivers and all.
I entered in one of the latest recommended official APN settings and now I get an error saying that the APN settings aren't even available anymore and I get the error now when I try to even click on the apn settings tab in android. Talk and text still work though. There was never an option to add APN settings in the first place. I could only edit the two existing APN profiles. I tried running InfinityBox AST to apply the fix but I got a "smart card not found" error.
I've reset the network settings multiple times along with doing a couple factory resets.
Anyhow, I'm wondering if the data issue is because it's innately a sprint phone? Is it possible to flash my phone with the MetroPCS or T-Mobile firmware or is there a universal/unlocked firmware that I can flash it with (without bricking it)? Perhaps I should flash it with custom firmware, if it's possible to root my model. Please let me know what the best course of action is to take.
Thanks
