Hi. I'm currently on CM12 and I have been facing this problem(?) for a while now. Back when I was on stock 4.4.2, most of the time my phone is stuck on EDGE when I'm using my primary sim card (network A). In order to get 3G/4G signal, I have to explicitly choose a network operator. After a while, it reverts back to EDGE so I have to do that again. However, using my other sim (network B) doesn't have this problem. Now that I'm on CM12, I'm still facing the same issue. I can't use that fix since I think there's a problem with the rom itself when choosing the network. I'm thinking either this is a network error or a problem with the modem itself. I'm currently on NF1 and I'm wondering how to upgrade my modem to the latest one. Thanks!
Why switch modem if you think it's an issue with ROM?
Prerequisites to CM say nothing which modem you must have or that any of them are not good. CM don't change either bootloader, GSM or LTE modem.
CM provide RIL to communicate with modems.
QualComm based CM hasn't been able to manually search carrier since Aug 2014 https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-4902 and perhaps the decision to de-unify S4 CM can resolve this for Lollipop within a time frame of 3 months. [emoji12]
Please inform if you can find any chance log of what's fixed for different modem versions.

As I've said, this issue is also present when I was still on touchwiz/stock rom. And as you said, CM doesn't change the modem so the issue might be with the modem itself so I'm planning on upgrading to the latest one. Problem is, I don't know how to.
Just to be clear, I'm on EDGE most of the time on Network A on both CM12 and stock touchwiz rom. On Network B, I normally get HSPA+.

You should use the modem based on the country that you are using the phone as the bands available in each country and those included in the modem differ else you may have network issues, for more info refer to this post

Based from this, I need the modem that works with 1800/2500/2600 bands. I'm currently on NF1 and I have no clue which other modem works with the said bands. Help please?

Thank you! One question though, should I flash NI1_AUT_wifi_150107.zip as well? I'm not sure if that only applies if I'm on the WizCyan rom.
Just in case something wrong happens, if I go back to the stock rom using odin, will it revert back to the original modem?

Yes, the zip file applies to WizCyan ROM.
If you flash firmware the modem is included so yes it will revert to the modem in the firmware

Thank you so much! Will update if it works.
Edit: Successfully flashed the modem but I'm still stuck on EDGE. Oh well. At this point I don't what's the problem; is it my phone or the network?
So I managed to make it work by fiddling with the APN.

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.?

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.

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.

So is this not a true statement then?
0.48 - Source: JDQ39 OTA update. Note: there are reports that this radio breaks auto-rotation and auto-brightness functionality on 4.2.1 and earlier. No issues on 4.2.2 though. As well, this radio disables LTE functionality, so if you use LTE, you will need to stick with one of the earlier radios.
How do you know you still have LTE?

Going to need to root first. If that's the case, then might as well just flash 4.2.1.
Here's a guide for those on 4.2.2

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.

Thanks for the reply Jimmy! The problem is the custom roms are "G800F/M/Y" there isn't an specific M version, it is a generic custom rom for F/M/Y. (I tried some of them and still detects it as 'F')
Using a G800M stock rom, I generated a TWRP flasheable file with Assayyed Kitchen, it worked, but the IMEI is gone and there is no signal at all (SIM not detected)
From what I've read, think I should have to flash bootloader and modem too, but Odin won't allow me that...

From my experience on my G800Y, I had no problem with any G800F rom, I even flashed the G800F firmware with no issues whatoever.
(What I suffered is from wifi issues and battery drainage on standby, but could well be the rom issue... Lineage 14.1).
Pd: What I did to flash the G800F was just using the AP only, I did nothing else, I was flashing a marshmallow rom, but didn't touched the bootloader, just left it at the lollipop one.

Thanks for sharing that info!
After flashing, could you unlock new LTE (4g) bands from your zone/region?
Also, if you go to "about phone" in "baseband version" does it changed from G800Y to G800F?

I don't know if it unlocks more bands (I'm not sure if you can do it by just flashing).
Baseband stays with G800Y
