Custom ROM problems - Moto X Q&A

Hello guys,
At the moment I am using a Moto X which I bought from Europe.
The stock firmware works perfectly fine.
But whenever I flash a custom ROM (nexus 5 experience or Cyanogenmod) I can't access Google play (No connection) but I can browse the internet through the browser
I've only tried this on wifi, because my nano simcard will arrive Monday, any solutions besides checking with mobile network?
Did this occur before?
I've also seen something with the fastboot command;
Fastboot OEM set carrier vzw (Verizon?)
While I live in europe, I don't think this is sufficient...
Any help?

Did you use the correct gapps? Or maybe diferent gapps to check?

I use my usual gapss that always worked..
I tried cm gapps, pa gapps and n5x gapps

Network Problem on Google Roms

I flashed PAC 23.0 coming from Insert Coin. However, after everything boots up fine, the network is lost after about 5 minutes until I reboot the phone. After the reboot, the network is back, but only for some time. Is there something I have to do when coming from Sense to vanilla Android? Should I flash a new radio or firmware? Btw, I am using the T-mobile variant if that matters. Thanks.

[Q] Network problems (different Roms)

Yoh guys,
I will tell my problem short and quick:
I was using the Vanir Custom Rom 4.4.2 with normal gapps and was updating it once a week.
One day my connection was gone (wasn't able to make any phone calls, sending sms and
using the mobile data). So I was looking for some information and figured out that Android
4.4.4 was released a few weeks ago. So I tought there was a complication between the
android version I was using and the gapps. So I did a factory, cache and dalvik cache reset,
flashed the new Vanir version and installed the right gapps. But the problem still occured.
What i've tried:
1. Different Sim Cards. Tried another sim for about 30 minutes, no problem there while
I was still using the Vanir rom.
2. Using different Roms with the old sim card, the A.I.C.P. rom for example but the problem
got even worse.
3. Yesterday I installed the Lego Rom with 4.4.4 and using slim gapps 4.4.3, the problem
seems fixed so far. It occured only once today.
4. Just in case to make sure, I tried the Beanstalk Rom with 4.4.4 and the correct gapps for.
Somehow I had better connection with this rom than with the Lego one.
I stick to the Lego Rom now but it runs way smoother than the Beanstalk for me. Also I like
the theme when the play store is black instead of white .
My question now is, did some1 had the same issues? Or even better if some1 has a
resolution for it.
Thx and Regards,
Haven't you clearly stated and figured out that the problem is with your sim card?
No m8,
I can't be sure of that :/ I just found this thread a few min ago:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2757655&page=4
Everybody's got different ril problems
During your trials you said that using a different sim card didn't give any problems for the time running.
Can't you check that out first since most carriers will change sim for no price?
After that you can try changing ril using flying_bear's tutorial
I have the same issue....I tried FluidRom Omnirom CM, the last Beanstalk...sometime the network doesn't work.

Mobile network drop out on Custom Rom

Hi guys,
Need some advise on how to deal with this issues.
When I use stock Rom, it's all good. Perfectly fine. No drop outs on mobile network.
But when I flashed custom rom (Liquidsmooth, PureNexus, Chroma etc..), my mobile network keep dropping out every 1 minute. I'm on Optus Australia network. I tried all different rom and it's The same issues except stock rom.
Checked the radio for all stock and custom rom after flash, all the same radio.
Please advise what else can I do to find out what's the root cause?
Cheers.

When using custom ROMs, ensure your APN is correct.

It's a known issue for some folks that data either doesn't connect, I'm one of those unlucky N6 owners that has had that issue.
My issue was with all cm based Roms wouldn't or couldn't connect to my carrier and all aosp based Roms would connect and hold a data signal without any issue.
I believe there's commits that are not merged in cm based Roms.
Also I had to flash the M preview radio as well.
It was trial and error for me to see which Roms would connect.
I flashed every single Rom and above it all I have a moto 360 that really is a pain in the a** when flashing any Rom.
The only solution I had now is to connect to DATA instead of WIFI everytime when I restart the phone. Let it connect for around 5 minutes, then switch to WiFi.
This way it won't drop out anymore.
Till a better solution is out, I guess I just had to keep doing this instead.
@flashallthetime , thanks for your input

Network Speed and Other Issues after unlocking bands

Hi all
I have a Mi5 64GB phone and I have a weird issue that I think has started after unlocking the bands. After unlocking the bands I noticed that mobile network is slow and most of the websites timeout (eg: google.com, yahoo.com) and some application time out too and/or extremely slow on mobile network (Have good reception). There is absolutely no issue when using WiFi
Network Speed test returns ~50MBps download speed.
Ping to google and yahoo work
I have done following stuff to try and fix the issue:
I have reinstalled the MIUI Global ROM 6.9.29
I also tried installing MIUI Global ROM 6.9.22
I did a clean install after wiping data/system/etc
Did a factory reset
Installed official MIUI 8.0.2.0 using fastboot (Full clean install)
Manually updated the modem
Updated firmware to MIUI 7.5.9.0 and MIUI 8.0.2.0
The issue does not exist when I install CM13 or Resurrection ROM or any CM based ROM. Everything seems to work just fine on these ROMS
Please advise

Help - Cannot connect to 4G Network

I tried to reload the stock rom on my phone, and lost my IMEI number. After loading Validus ROM on my phone, I was able to retrieve my IMEI number, but I cannot connect to 4G networks. I tried going into the bootloader and running the following commands:
Code:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
But I still cannot connect to 4G networks. Any suggestions?
UPDATE: I flash my phone with Validus 8.1 1.3 BETA, and then booted the phone. It was on 3G. I then rebooted into the bootloader, and ran the modem flashing commands that I did above. I then popped out the SIM card, and booted the phone.
I went into Settings > About Phone > Phone Status > SIM status, and watched the status as I put back in the SIM. I noticed the "Mobile Network Type" turned to LTE for a few seconds, and then went back to CDMA.
Does this give anyone any ideas? I thought this could have been a modem firmware issue, but as you can see above I've been flashing the modem firmware with the latest firmware from the Stock, so I'm not sure what this could mean.
UPDATE2: I noticed that when I am booted into Bootloader, my baseband version is M8953_27.36.07.41u SANDERS_NA_CUST. However, when I am booted into a custom ROM that has 3G working, the baseband is M8953_27.36.07.41e
Could this have anything to do with my issues? I have an XT1806 and tried to flash the stock ROM SANDERS_NPSS26.116-61-5_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
I had a similar issue with my moto X pure Edition. Everytime I would flash stock rom, I would lose Wifi. I my fix for that issue was to flash stock rom, let it boot up to the welcome screen, turn off the phone like completely off, boot to bootloader and use the commands in this order:
Erase modem1
Erase modem2
Flash Moden NON...
Flash fsg
Use the commands u have up there on first post, but use the order I posted.
Try that and see if that works.

This did not work for me, sadly. I think I need the backup of someones EFS partition. Does anyone have one for me?
Please let me know.
I flashed stock ROM SANDERS_NPSS26.116-61-8_cid50_subsidy-DEFAULT_regulatory-DEFAULT_CFC.xml, and am now having similar issues. Netowork data shows 'H' instead of 4G LTE. Changing the APN and changing stuff under *#*#4635#*#* does nothing either. I have an XT1806 and my baseband in both fastboot and the settings is M8953_27.36.07.41e. Please help!

^Me too.
I have never had this phone working faster than 3G. Which has been a major bummer. I pre-ordered the sanders XT1806 64gb p5 and received it in October 2017. The day it arrived, I booted it without any SIM and saw the stock ROM had around 50 preloaded apps, so I blasted it away and installed Lineage 15. I didn't think to put the SIM in and test connection speeds on the stock ROM. I just went straight to using Lineage 15.
Because of camera issues I switched to Validus Nougat, and shortly after the official Oreo update was released and the camera blobs for it became available, I upgraded to Validus Oreo and ran several versions of that up to the final one. I tried switching providers from Straight Talk (Verizon flavor) to Verizon Prepaid Wireless because I was paranoid that I had a bad SIM or that they were purposely capping me. It made no difference. I just loaded Lineage Pie on it and am once again connected at 3G mobile data speeds.
Just like Kevin observed, it looks like it tries to negotiate for LTE but fails and drops back to CDMA.
My baseband in both bootloader and settings shows as M8953_27.36.07.40R
Any ideas?? I've been using this phone for almost a year and a half now and haven't enjoyed high speed data yet. Would love a fix...

You flashed the wrong firmware.
Try https://drive.google.com/open?id=161Z95p4Ss16xgzvAix5O2kxCktY-LwCM which is XT1806 firmware. Then reflash.
You might also want to flash the RETUS nougat firmware and then update to Oreo. I have that too.
@lufusol, I didn't see any mention of Kevin's carrier in his post. For your case I did some checking here and there.
Motorola's carrier compatibility chart only shows partial support for Straight Talk. Verizon proper has full support. Not sure about the prepaid service.
The site below also shows only partial but does include a bunch of APNs to use/try.
https://apn.gishan.net/en/apn/straight-talk/motorola-moto-g5s-plus
FrequencyCheck shows supported bands along with an animated percentage graph (100% for supported bands). But, if I'm reading things correctly GSM & CDMA is only up to 3G or 3.5G(4G).
https://www.frequencycheck.com/carr...te-na-64gb-xt1806/straight-talk-united-states
If I were to go by the above then technically there isn't a problem with the phone but I don't know. Only others with the XT1806 on that carrier can confirm the limitations.
Moto G5S Plus XT1806, balanceOS 2.0, MultiROM, XDA Legacy
@lufusol, ugh, neither of my XDA apps would allow me to add a pic to my previous message or a new one. Resort to using the web.
The bands supported by the XT1806 (from GSMArena) should be compared to the bands used by Straight Talk. Maybe to see if you're not getting what you should or getting all that you can.
Update: I reflashed stock nougat 7.1.1, rerooted, fixed permissions on /persist, that got 4G/LTE working again. Then I reflashed PE 9 and 4G/LTE remained working. Haven't tried another custom Oreo or Pie ROM since the fix, but PE Pie isn't exactly running flawlessly (it's like the fp reader doesn't exist, and Bluetooth audio keeps "buffering") so I plan to try lineage pie and maybe even go back to Validus Oreo final and see if I can retain LTE functionality while fixing those issues (sure would be nice to see Validus Pie, but doesn't look to be in the works, even GZOSP Pie seems to have been abandoned)
Anyway, fixing persist permissions while on the stock ROM was the solution for me
@lufusol, GZOSP Pie build was released a couple of days ago so not abandoned I guess. ?
ZTE Axon 7 A2017U, Project New World, Multiboot, XDA Legacy

This is now off topic but I'll respond why I said what I did:
The official GZR all-in-one ROMs thread here at XDA has a link (to AFH) containing 4 GZOSP Pie builds for Sanders, released from mid September through early October 2018. No updates since, and no Validus (Pie) builds in sight.
You're right, of course, they just need to update their thread and afh uploads. I went to their official Google+ page and found this:

Ah yes. With each ROM announcement post there are different download locations I noticed. The ever-important OP hasn't been maintained. [emoji53]
