Hello,
Did you got it working ?
Many people in Austria have since mid of July problems with the Droid 4 GSM.
I used the Original JB ROM with Mentor, but since mid of July it didnt found any GSM signal anymore.
Now I have installed CM11, GSM and Internet works,
but the GSM works only with 2G and the Internet only with EDGE mode anymore.
Did you found maybe already a solution to get it fully working again ?
We cant find any solution...if you know something, let me know please.
regards

I can try to helping you but you should answer to these questions:
Did you do some change before to not having anymore gsm signal?
What is your stock rom version?
With the original stock rom without any modification what is the situation?
Could you try the original stock rom without my gsm rom but with my latest gsm patch?

I'm in Austria too (provider yesss) and i'm facing the same issue. I already did an full wipe, went back to stock, rooted, installed safestrap again und finally slimkat 7.0 with the gsm patch. Still i just get an edge connection but whenever the droid tries to connect to umts, the signal gets lost totally (no service).

@Mentor.37
i did not any changes - it didnt worked anymore from one minute to the other
i used the Original JB ROM with the Mentor ROM (i cant remember the exactly ROM Version, but it was the official Stock from Verizon/Motorola)
With the original Stock ROM i dont get any connection (no telephony and no internet) - also not any 2G connection...
With the Original Stock ROM and Mentor ROM its the same....no connection (no telephony and no internet).
I flashed CM11 and there i got a connection, but the connection is only 2G (telephony and the internet works only with 2G mode) - no 3G mode.
I also flashed the "Original Motorola Image" back, but there i didnt got also any connection
I used some "Moto XT894 Utility" which i found here in the forum - but always the same - no connection. The "Moto XT894 Utility" contained the Original JB ROM.
@magikstar which Tool you exactly used for flashing back the Original Image ? Can you send me maybe the download links ?
Maybe you have used another tool for flashing back than i.
As Provider i use: A1 (Telekom Austria)
many other people in Austria have the same problem....

@lzmichael
My provider is YESS!!, which belongs to A1 and therefore I'm in the A1 network too. Seems like an A1 issue, because a friend of mine (he has a droid4 too) has Drei, and does not have a problem with 3G.

go to http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=11 and download the latest firmware Android 4.1.2 Blur_Version.98.72.188.XT894.Verizon.en.US
then unzip it and boot your phone into bootloader
flash via fastboot the boot.img,emstorage.img,preinstall.img,radio.img,re covery.img,system.img
and reboot your device and finally mentor's rom wia safestrap

not working
thanks, i did that....but it still works only with 2G mode
with 3G it didnt connect (no network)
what can i do ?

You could try installing the stock 18-9 version, if i'm not in error in it there has been some little update in the radio for gsm users in the canada and that could help every gsm user.

I dont have installed a GSM Patch (i never had that installed before), but i can try.
Today i have installed:
VRZ_XT894_9.8.2O-72_VZW-18-8_CFC.xml.zip
and the MentorRom (Version from March 2014).
With that i have 2G connection. 3G didnt work.
The same problem was with the CM11 - only 2G worked
Where i can get the 18.9 Version from the Stock-ROM?

If you are using my rom you do not have to install the gsm patch but if you are using any other aosp rom you have to install my gsm patch.
Now for testing you can try installing my latest gsm patch, in it i made some change that i have not yet merged in my gsm rom, if no luck you can try updating to 18-9 in this way:
- install the 18-2 version, here the download
- from ota you should update to 18-9
- now you can try the stock rom without any mod and with my patch
if these things will not help we will try in another way.

I have installed now the latest GSM Patch (v3.2.2), but it still doesnt work with 3G mode (no internet connection and no telephony with 3G)
...if i switch to 2G it works
(for example: with a Drei Austria sim card the phone works fine - and with T-Mobile Austria is the same problem as with A1).
I will try to install that 18-2 Update later, when i have a fast WLAN connection to get the OTA update (to 18-9) quickly...

im wondering that that problem only appears in austria. since mid of july...much people have problems

There is something that your provider changed and that that caused this, I hope that we will solve the problem but with our locked bootloader this will be really hard.
Have you tried contacting your providers to knowing what's happening?
Anyway if after updating to 18-9 the problem will be yet present you can attach here your logcats when you are in 3g with no service.

Yes, i have contacted the provider in July and have asked what i can do. i have then asked if they had changed something - like APNs or so, and the provider said, that they didnt changed anything. they replaced then my simcard - they thought maybe is the simcard defect, but the simcard was ok, anyway i have now a new simcard.
but the phone-support from the provider didnt know if something "internal" got changed at the provider...thats what i think.
After flashing the stockrom (with mentor addon), i got a 3G signal for 30-50 seconds, then the signal was away.
the same thing was end of july, after flashing the stockrom (there i had some older version flashed), i got a 3G signal for few seconds - then never again.
no 3G signal after rebooting and so again - it worked only short after installing the new rom.
How its possible to get that "logcats" ? I never did that before. In which directory or so on the phone are the logs ?.

Pretty interesting the output of the log.
I'm writing from my droid so a full log may be diffult now.
08-11 07:57:11.326 D/MobileDataStateTracker(237): cbs: Broadcast received: android.intent.action.ANY_DATA_STATE apnType=cbs

After the last line appears, the cell connection drops.
When i am on gsm only, netType equals to 5.

I need the all log, if you are using Catlog there should be the radio option.

I cleared the log before I captured the radio log. At the beginning I had an established 2G (GSM only) connection. Then I switched to "GSM auto(PRL)" - the connection dropped and finally I went back to "GSM only" again. Just fyi what I was doing when the log was captured.

[Q] loss 3G [email protected]

hi,i am using milestone 3(ME863)@Hong Kong version.
after i flashed DROID3-CM9-03-28-SELFKANG, my 3g data no longer works, the signal is fine, i can make/receive calls but as for data, market/internet anything requiring a connection it just does not work unless connected to a wifi network.
Moreover, i have changed the build.prop to gsm but i still cannot use 3g data.
so how can i get back the 3g data?
(sorry for my bad english )
there's a new issue, after i pressed the USA band, my phone did not have any signal. How can i get back the signal?
Searching pays. There's this fix here. The poster uses a XT862 but has XT883's (a.k.a ME863) radio installed on it so his phone should be on the same page as yours and you can safely try this fix. There are lot of guys here using Droid 3 on GSM so you should look around a bit.
Good luck!

thx for your reply. But i still cannot get any 3g data after replaced the build.prop, i only receive the signal. However, when i changed back to stock rom, i can use 3G data and signal. Moreover, i modified the libmoto_ril.so. i can receive 3G data for a second. After that it will disconnect automatically and then it will turn on for a second again.
How can i solve the problem?

Have you updated the internet settings in the device? After flashing CM9 and if you are using GSM, you have to manually go in and set the wap settings if they are not correct on the sim card.

thx for your reply. After i flash cm9 again, i can get the signal again but the new problem is that i cannot use 3g data....
Are that all of the custom roms in this froum cannot support gsm 3g data? i changed the build.prop of all that rom but i still cannot use 3g data
There might be a solution for the 3G Data Connection.
I have a Droid 3 XT862 with the Chinese Radio (XT883 as yours i believe) and my provider is AT&T. I am running CM9 and after i used the buid.prop from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23884104&postcount=1368
3G connection worked just fine. Don't try to flash this zip file through safestrap as it won't (at least no go for my occasion). Uznip it and copy the build.prop file to sd card. Then move it to /system by using Root Explorer (so you can mount /system as RW). Before do that, rename the old build.prop to build.prop.bak so you can have a copy in case new one won't work. You must also change the permissions to the new build.prop to rw-r-r . Finally reboot your phone and see if it will work.
My phone is running CM9 with XT883 radio and my 3G is working just fine.

Thank for the help.

You should first check your APN, thats where your mobile data en GSM network is connected with. You can find your APN data mostly at your providers site.

Its not about connecting to the GSM for data service, i am talking about just the network for normal calls and SMS, the device is not connecting to the provider network.
Secondly where can I get the modem files for this device and what is the process to update the modem file only. Does the firmware files downloaded from sammobile has the modem files built-in too ?

[Q] I9305 stuck with EDGE and no 3G/LTE

Long time lurker, first time poster.
Long story short, a friend gave me an I9305, however, I can't connect to a supported 3G network.
He had toyed around with the device (rooted, installed CM11), then reverted unrooted and reverted to stock firmware. When I got the device, I rooted it with Framaroot, flashed CWM 6.0.4.5, then flashed CM11 and Boeffla kernel. My SIM card was quite old and my carrier told that it doesn't support 3G, so I filed up for a new one. Ok, I got it, however..I'm yet again stuck on EDGE!!!
Tried reflashing CM11, CWM, flashed almost every radio baseband modem from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2010116 to no avail. My IMEI is intact, as well as my Serial Number.
Yes, I read all threads, I tried going to Settings>Wireless&networks> More > Mobile Netwroks >Preffered Network type and checked all options. When I select 3G only, the icon goes to "H", but i can't access the web. After 10-20 seconds, the H icon dissappears and I'm forced to reboot the phone to regain my EDGE data.
At the moment, I'm running the latest Omni ROM nightly. My operator supports all 3G and LTE bands, and I got the correct APNs.
Should I flash a stock ROM and check if this does the job?
I'll greatly appreciate any help, because I'm stuck.

I can't check my csc code - whenever i type a code in the dialer I get "connection timed out or invalid mmi code". The only ones that work are *#06# and *#*#4636#*#*...
Ok, so I'm running a stock 4.3 rom and STILL have no 3G....tried everything.
Anyone, help?
Maybe if you can try to downgrade to a firmware 4.1.2 via Mobile Odin and then try and access the service mode menu. From there you may be able to enable the 3G/LTE DRX (Radio) which seems to remain a permanent change in the phone once you upgrade again to 4.3.

Problem phone only working in gsm only??

Hello developers.
I am amz. In dire need of your help.
Ok so i have a new mini
I turned it on n it would jus turn off if I used apps. I got a new battery. That stopped.
I then try use Internet it works only on G and E but if I go to 3g or Lte. .H will never come on. Can't call it says not registered on network only on the higher bands not gsm.. It's a 4G sim it works perfectly in my old s5 mini and signal is excellent here. I got new Internet settings too. G n E works why the he'll doesny the other bands register on network? Imei shows its not blocked either. I'm in the UK on EE. I cannot understand. I have all the OTA updates. Can u tell me if I can fix it by doing something thro service menus or anything also all sims do the same in this phone. I don't have a pc to change the rom. Could I do it through a external SD card.
Please I beg of you help.
Run the system updates, I had network issues until it was fully updated.
They are only patches, no new rom.
Reboot once each batch has completed until there are no more.
If that does not work, potentially you have a row version which uses a different band than us in the uk. Send it back.
I have the June 2015 update. I ran all updates. Still not working? I wanna install the cm12 rom m see if that'll fix it but kingroot not working. How do I see what band my phone is tryna connect in wcdma mode n what is required by the network? 4g don't work either?
I just Checked. My networked EE uses wcdma on 2100mhz. My phone is trying to connect. But it just says emerge calls only. Wth. What's wrong with it??
Can you post a screen of the About phone?
Should look identical to mine
Also, have you tried googling ee 4g settings s5 mini?
My network required me to get a 4g sim upgrade, before that it needed settings for hspda 3g which worked
I have a similar problem. Phone worked fine for couple of months, but since tuesday, it only works when I force it to GSM only.
G800FXXU1AOG2, nordic
(the thumbnail above equals to mine)
Maybe the network providers have changed 3g/4g details.
Check the website for correct details and update them in phone, if that doesn't work try a friends sim, if that doesn't work return phone
I had the problem aswell. I searched for the newest firmware in the internet (in my case I used the russian one). Then I extracted the modem file and made a tar file of it to flash it through odin. After I've done it everything worked fine.
If you want me to, I can do this tomorrow or saturday for u.
I flashed the original firmware (July 10, Nee), that did not help. What is the date of your firmware that works now?
I thinky june 2015.. I had the problem in February last year
It's me amz
Ok so basically I found out I need to flash my modem file or change the rom. But I have no PC to flash
.so I need a app which can root my phone or something without a computer. Kingroot didn't work. Anyone got any ideas on how I can do this? I've Google relentlessly. I need a developers help lol
I'll even pay them

I returned my phone and they changed the "circuit board". So mine was a hardware problem.
I've rooted my phone and going to change my rom however the tar.md5 file I can't use as I can.tell use odin. I need the .img file to have the twrp bootloader. anyone know where I can download this?
