I have been trying different ROMs like SimKat and CM since 4.4.4 however since a month ago, I have not been able to connect to the mobile network here in Korea. The phone does connect for about an hour after flashing the ROM but then will not connect after an hour until I flash the ROM on the phone again (any ROM via FlashTools).
Only recently, I have noticed that in my secret menu *#*#4636#*#*, I have noticed all my options have disappeared for selecting the GSM/UMTS bands. I used to have USA, EURO, Japan, Korea and 1 other. Now I only have USA which I assume is what is stopping me from getting on the network. How do I get all my regional band options again? I really don't want to buy another phone.
Yeah I got the same problem too! Please help us! Thanks!
Bump! Please anyone can help us about this? Thanks!
Anyone, pls go to Cross-development project section and see thread" Unlock band...."
Currently only works with wcdma band, lte are still research

Sure you havent managed to wipe your TA partition? Restore your backed up TA or download and install stock ROM from Sony.
SOLVED
Thank you guys for the support. I managed to fix the problem by Restore Factory on my mobile.
Thanks again!

Hi guys, appreciate the help with this. I have rooted and have tried all sorts of roms on my Milestone
However with Cyanogen cm7 with Gingerbread 2.3 and other variances of the cm7 i cannot get any network coverage or cant connect to my provider. However my phone works perfect with the 2.3 AOSP roms...
Is there something obvious I am doing wrong? Am i missing something when installing cyanogen roms?
Help?

Yes...You probably need to apply the basebands of your region when you install CM roms.
You can do that in Androidiani 3.3 Open Recovery, on the menu "Change baseband"

Ahh OK so it has got to do with applying the basebands to my region.
I have seen this option in Open Recovery 3.3 . Is there any specific file I need to download or number I need to know before attempting to change my baseband.?
i live in New Zealand.
thanks.

No, you dont need to download additional files. Just go to Androidiani 3.3 and try applying bands until you get coverage. Many of the people apply RTEU and it works. I dont know what is the baseband for your region, but you switch between them and you will find the proper one.
Hope I've been helpful!

If you're with XT use the Brazil bb.

Where abouts in NZ are you? I'm also a Kiwi (Gisborne) and I have no baseband trouble at all on any of the GB ROM's, or any ROM's for that matter. I've never had to mess with the baseband and I move from ShadowMod to Cyan7 all the time as they release new updates.
What baseband did you use? Im having the same problem and I can't get 3g working for the life of me. I think it's a mixture of apn setting and baseband. Im on 2degrees btw.
I need help with this too. I live in Auckland and use Vodafone NZ. Originally, my milestone came installed with Froyo (v2.2) and it was the Europe version I believe......both 2G and 3G works fine on it, however I have problems with the wifi like many people have.
So then I later flashed to the New Zealand v2.1 SBF, and now wifi works fine but I can't get any connection to Vodafone. The reason is basically because Vodafone doesn't support Milestone, only Telecom XT does. However, if I switch the network from 2G to 3G, then I can connect to Vodafone. I can also connect to 2Degrees, I can see all 3 networks (Telecom, Vodafone, 2Degrees) when I'm on 3G and I get about 3/4 bars constant so it's stable.
But when if I switch to 2G, I get completely no bars and can't detect any networks at all. Not a big deal but I wanna use 2G to save battery. When I was using the Europe SBF (the v2.2 Froyo that came pre-installed with the Milestone), I was able to use 2G no problem.
Anyway, I think a simple baseband change should be fine, but I'm not sure which one I should use that works well with Vodafone NZ.
The baseband has to match your handset's capability. Xt units lack the Vodafone 900 band, they have 850 instead. Both carriers use 2100 in the CBD. Vodafone has also 2g network that has crap coverage. I'm using my xt set with Vodafone, but there's no point changing the bb as xt ms can't do 900 anyway. Basically get ****ty GPRS except right in town. It's only used as car GPS/stereo so no biggy for me.
but mine isn't originally an XT Milestone, I bought it 2nd hand on Trademe and the original owner of the phone got it from somewhere else. It's just that I flashed the New Zealand v2.1 SBF, which just so happens to be for Telecom since there isn't one for Vodafone......
Plus, it was able to work fine on 2G when I was using the Europe v2.2 (Froyo) SBF, so I don't see why a simple baseband change isn't possible?
Check the exact model number, most of the ones floating in nz are telecom models, no matter what the previous owner was using it with. You can change basebands as much as you want, if it doesn't match your hardware it just won't work. I.e. you will not have 3g outside of main centres. Afaik, 2g is the same on all models.
So, install OR, then one of the cyanogen based roms (it has all nz apns). Boot into or, there's a list of basebands - try till you get one that works.
Have you set your APN setting right?
Sent from my Milestone using XDA App
Cyanogen based roms have all the nz apns, otherwise, you have to put the correct one in.
Hey guys,
First of all props for the great job you've done. I have a few questions which I'd be thankful for if you could answer. First of all I've googled this hundreds of times but I still can't find what exactly IS gingerbread software, and why is it preferred over official firmwares? Secondly I would like to know how to access the root files after rooting so I can delete the wifi file. (My tab has the wifi connectivity problem). Lastly I flashed my T-mobile tab to Euro firmware using Ayman07's guide, the dialer is there etc, but the problem is that I want to use this in Pakistan. So how do I make the tab function with the sim from Pakistan? Whenever I put the sim in I get 'Not registered on network'. Sorry for all the questions, but thank you in advance. Great job once again.

Gingerbread actually is an official software version of Android and it's not yet available on the Tab. You can put Gingerbread on the Tab using one of the ROM's from the development section.

You can download Root Explorer from the market or use adb to do this.

The baseband version is P1000XXJHA. One more question, will I have to flash the T mobile modem switcher by rotohammer also? Thanks in advance.
@Stu Thanks for the help.
Oh and I found some information of the network I want to use the tab with in Pakistan, if you could look at it and tell me which modem to flash I'd be thankful.

You will need the JPZ modem.If you use Overcome rom the modem is included within the procedure....good luck!
The JPZ modem will be ok, but the carrier you will have is the same as at&t, so I recommend the JK3 modem.
You will get voice and EDGE data speed (2g). 3g is not possible for your t-mobile tab, no matter which modem you use, because the radio does not have the frequencies needed for 3g on that network.

Hey guys, I have a sim unlocked s-off Sprint M8.
Yesterday I chose USA band accidentally through *#*#4636#*#*. I live in China, now I cannot find any signal with my WCDMA network.
I tried everything during the last 16 hours including flashing the Harman RUU, but it did not work.
Will a stock sprint radio flash solve my problem? I looked everywhere but could not find a stock radio for sprint M8:crying::crying::crying:

Hi everyone,
My carrier band is supported on the Mix namely B3 and B7. However, it is not possible to get 4G signal at all on the phone, only 3G.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Settings/SIM card/preferred network
Or maybe you need to setup APN manually.

Thanks for the suggestions but I have tried that to no avail. I install the LTE discovery app and there is no LTE signal at all.
I also tried flashing the modem file from China dev rom but it is also the same.

So your old phone worked ok? Can you try a different carrier SIM card to check.
What carrier are you on and what are your APN settings?

I'm in Singapore and my carrier is Starhub. The apn settings are auto created and I double checked against other phone it is the same settings.
There is an issue with the latest update that causes the device not to connect to LTE. According to the official forum, it should be fixed in the next update, which is about a week away.
Edit: Some have suggested reflashing your ROM and doing a factory reset as well. Most of what I have seen points to the developer ROM. If you are using the developer ROM, then flashing back to the Chinese Stable and factory resetting the device should solve it. If you are using a vendor ROM, the same is recommended.
Just an update to anyone facing the same issue. This is a bug on the development rom and hence it affects all eu / custom rom that derive from there. Once flash onto the latest stable will resolve this issue.
Well as it says on title. A friend brought me an australian note 9. (exynos) version. But when i go on networks i cannot choose 2g only. it will be 2g/3g and auto switches. would a custom europe rom fix this and be able to choose 2g only? if someone knows some info i would be grateful. thanks a lot

Not sure but the option might depend on your CSC or the sim card. What is your CSC and carrier?
Using this app you can choose any mode you want
