Got the Droid X to activate it on Alltel like I did very successfully with my Eris.
Installed HW virtual serial port software, created the virtual serial port, phone was detected and showing up correctly in QPST, went directly to CDMA Workshop and ripped the NV file from the phone, edited all the NV information to alltel's 3G provisioning with a HEX translator, uploaded the NV file to the phone and uploaded the Alltel PRL... all seemed well. Restarted the phone, it now shows no service. When I go to Settings, it tells me the baseband version is "unknown" and it doesnt know the ESN or anything, that isn't good. I tried reconnecting to CDMA workshop, if I try to restore original NV file, it doesn't know the SPC anymore so it doesn't allow it, SPC 000000 isn't recognized now. How can I recover the radio ? I tried restoring it (hard reset) through the settings, security menu AND the Power+home buttons way. After restoring, still no service and SPC is still incorrect, how do I get the radio back to default values ? CAn I reflash the phone? Anyone know where the factory rom is so I can do this ? Ah man, help me please :O
Other than that, I guess I'll have to have motorola take a look at it since I don't have it signed up to a verizon account, my bet is that verizon won't help me. thanks
Did a system "full reboot" help any??
No it hard resets normally and reboots to the welcome wizard, functions perfectly, but still "No Service" and "unknown" baseband in the settings...
I'm thinking I'll have to have the stock Rom file to flash my phone, hopefully this will flash the factory baseband too or maybe tomorrows update will fix my broken baseband, looks like from the information, it updates the baseband, wonder if it will update a totally dysfunctional baseband?
Yikes,.. this blows.
I don't understand why you didn't back up the rom if you were attempting something like this.
There is a Droid X update coming pretty soon, so I'm sure by that time the new rom will be available.
Well, I backed up the NV items, I figured that would be sufficient, guess not, Trial and error I suppose, but you're right.
What software do I use to back up the rom of the Droid X ? I know there is a key sequence on the Droid, what about the droid X ? The recovery screen (Power + Home) brings me to a menu allowing system recovery/wipe install update.zip from memory card, and thats it.
I have a buddy right here in town down the block that got the droid x with me, can I back the rom up off of his and flash that rom to my phone?
Help is SO appreciated...
EDIT
The system dumps that are floating around the web, is that a ROM backup ? http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-hacks/114-new-droid-x-retail-dump-straight-out-pot.html
Can I put that file in the SD card as update.zip and flash it?

why not use QXDM to modify the ESN?
Worth a shot...
You can try using the motorola troubleshooter. Its what they use to update your phone anyways and since the new update came out you might be able to install over what you did...I cant post a link because Im new but follow the instructions below and it will walk you through the update process via computer. I figure with a phone thats not working its worth a shot.
Go to Motorola's website and click the droid advert right on the left side of the screen.
Under the "Support" tab in the upper right hand corner is another tab called "Owner Support" click on that.
On the left hand side there are more tabs so this time click on "Update My Software"
It will give you a list of options, choose "Via Computer"
From here it will check your computer for their software and prompt you to download it. Its the troubleshooting software and it will ask you a few questions, its also what they use to update your software via computer so it may be capable of flashing your phone for you. Best of luck and let us know what the end result is.
I haven't tried either of these... but I'm about to start flashing a droid X to cricket and bookmarked these posts in case I mess something up. Proceed with caution as I have no first hand experience with these.
I'm still trying to get a handle on if the service programming parameters (the spc, MDN, MIN, SID, etc.) are updated as part of baseband updates, it sounds like they are since they are saying the device needs to be re-activated after applying either of these updates.
If a baseband update refreshes the service programming parameters here are the two ways I've found of updating the baseband:
Here's a link to a post for updating the baseband portion of your device (without updating the ROM):
http://alldroid.org/Default.aspx?tabid=62&g=posts&t=246
I don't know if this will work on a device that doesn't have a valid baseband prior to the update. Regardless, if your phone is bricked this may be a valid option to try.
There is also a 2.1 SPL file floating around which is the entire system image, the baseband and the rom. You will need to use rsdlite to apply this image to your phone. DO NOT APPLY THIS IF YOU ARE RUNNING FROYO.
Hello,
I've just rooted my Legend for the first time. To do this, I downgraded to 1.31 via RUU, then rooted using the Modaco guide.
After the RUU downgrade, I noticed that the phone said "Emergency Calls Only". Being a complete noob, I continued along with the rooting process figuring that the root flash and later mod flash might fix the problem.
After the root, I still had emergency service only. Being excited that the root worked, I went ahead and installer Rom Manager, rebooted into Clockworkmod Recovery and installed Cyanogen 6.1.
Still "emergency calls only".
I looked in Network Operators to see if my provider (Bell Canada) was visible. Sure enough, it was there. I tried to join the mobile network but the device just sits there spinning until it times out. I set the correct APN settings, but of course that didn't help - I basic GSM service doesn't work, let alone 3G.
I then found an app called Secret Settings, which gives access to a bunch of nifty hidden configuration options. I worked my way through each of the preferred network types. None of them worked.
I assume that this has something to do with the radio firmware flashed during the downgrade, although it looked like radio was also flashed during root.
So here I sit with a fancy WiFi-only device that used to be a phone. Can this be fixed? What are my options?
Please help a very technical but new-to-android-modding noob out. Thanks in advance!
Well, I seem to have fixed my own problem. Awesome!
Bell Canada HTC Legend users - if you've downgraded, rooted and are finding you have no service, or emergency only service...
Download "Secret Setting" from the market.
Tap Phone Information
Scroll down to "Set preferred network type"
Select "GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)"
Exit to the home screen
In your phone's Settings menu, select Wireless and Networks
Select Mobile Networks -> Network Operators
Make sure you're connected to Bell
Reboot
Dial *#*#4636#*#* on your Phone, it does the same thing as "Secret Settings" and doesn't require you to install anything.
It's been listed a number of times on the forums. You also don't need to reboot to change to GSM/CDMA auto PRL, although you probably want to select WCDMA only.
So as I was en route to completing a full flash of my Droid X onto Cricket I couldn't get my web working. Two things I hadn't done were my autosh files and my NVRAM from whiterabbit.org I got my NVRAM file from whiterabbit and wrote it to the phone. it wrote. I restarted the phone and everytime it starts it goes to 1x , then up to 3g, then restarts. everytime. Just enough time to allow me to put it into airplane mode so that I can try to fix it. I didn't backup my NVram sadly so if anyone has a backup please send it my direction. It would be greatly appreciated. this is fixable since i can access my phone still.
-Update today-
Not sure if it means anything but i went into QPST and switched my Mobile IP behavior from mob+simp f/back to simple ip only and it and now it doesnt constantly restart i switched it to mobile ip only, same result, but data still isnt working yet. switching back to mob+simp f/back makes it restart it seems.n
Also noticed that when I turn on my wifi and I switch it to simple IP only it still puts me in a reset loop.

Did you also write the PRL to the phone after writing the NVRAM? Your PRL should be version 49027. mob+simp f/back will need to be enabled.
If you want to start over, you can SBF to .340 or use the maderstcok zip .340 and your DX will be up to date and fully stock.
I've used bootstrap and rom manager to go back to stock before altering web so that isn't an issue anymore. I've stopped trying the nvram. Everytime I enter the proxy info fully inthe phone manually the phone does the 1x 3g then reset loop. Im guessing something is forcing a reset but can't figure it out. I went into test mode once to force 1x only and keep out 3g but alas it still looped. Ideas? Im also installing log cat to see if maybe a log.can tell me why the phone soft resets during the.loop
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Im using prl 49027. I've narrowed it down to possible glitch. Upon entering the info for the proxy manually it goes into 1x then 3g then reader loop. Ivebeen using a stock backup to revert to prior tweaking so I can keep trying to figure this out if u have a exact method u use im all ears. Or just ideas. Im running out lol
Also one more thing, ive just entered in the proxy information manually via the cell phone and the phone hasnt given me a boot loop like it used to, still the internet isnt working yet so im going to go into QPST and see if just changing the mobile IP setting throws me into the loop again...EDIT: it sends me into a soft restart loop since its on mob+simp f/back again... catlog didnt show anything that i can see sadly. the soft restart forces the log to stop and doesnt show why it did.switched it back to mobile ip only and stopped the reboot cycle but no data at all ugh...
EDIT: used my backup again after the reboot cycle issue , found out that after i end up using a NVRAM i get the boot loop again...so in other words i unfortunately have to factory reset because i used the NVRAM addon, one thing i noticed was it updated 11 things, not 12. not sure why. moving on..

So you did this in QPST:
-----NV items from http://www.whiterabbit.org/android (you must generate this uniquely for your phone, go to the link enter [email protected] replace x's with your 10 digit phone number, make sure 2.7 is selected and download the file)
----Now go to the Memory tab. Under NV Items click Write. Browse and select
the NV Item file you generated earlier. Once its done it will say 12 NV
Items were successfully written to the phone
-----I used the PRL attached to do the OTA. (CricketEVDO_38515.prl). I had to put .zip at the end to upload it, so just rename it to CricketEVDO_38515.prl.
-----Now go to the Other tab. Under PRL click Write and browse to the destination you saved the attached file.
Let me know if this helps at all.
I sent NV items from the whiterabbit but this time it updated 12 items, not sure why it did 11 the first time. i also updated the prl to 38515 still no internet though, going into pst to see if the mobile ip behavior is the way its supposed to, update in a sec
UPDATE: phone was set to mobile ip only switched back to mob + simp f/back. and VOILA. 4:28am two weeks later and BAM internet and voice I will be writing a tutorial basing what ive learned into a stable 99% success rate for flashing droid x to cricket, ive only seen a handful out there and im sure i can hepl someone the way everyne has assisted me. thank you everyone. also just upgraded to 49027 prl for 3g and works great not enough 1x coverage where i live sadly.
I just flashed to the lastest LeeDroid ROM. I love it! However, there is no mobile data. I cannot make or receive calls. The mobile data setting is greyed out, I cannot change anything there.
I've tried searching for similar problems with leeDroid, but I have not found much. Does anyone know how I can fix this??
HTC Inspire 4G on AT&T network.
Full wipe and re-flash, and see if that works.
If not it's possible you have an incompatible radio/ril/rom combination; make sure you use the recommended radio for your rom.
I try to avoid flashing radios as much as possible because if something goes wrong, it will permanently brick - so read all the instructions *very* carefully and only do it if you have to!
I installed that ROM too and lost my data connection. But there is a patch, V5.1.1 that'll correct this problem. Just download and flash it in cwm.

Open the dialpad,
key in : *#*#4636#*#*, as soon as you key in last *, Setting Menu will pops up.
>> Click "Phone Information'
Scroll down.... until you see "Set preferred network type", probably set to "WCDMA preferred".
If you are on GSM network, change to "GSM auto (PRL).
Out from the menu... then see whether mobile signal on...
to make sure, re-boot.
Some rom, even set "WCDMA preferred" as a default, still can connect to GSM network some doesn't.... So manually set as above will be the best way, I think.
Hope can be solved, buddy.
sounds like the radio needs a re-flash, flash the recommended or latest one.
Install Latest update on your Rom
zunaedsaki is cooking
im having the same problem. For whatever reason clockworkmob wont let me flash any ROMS at all. i dont understand what the deal is.
Guys, i had this problem on my I9001 but the solution is very simple...
1. Get an android phone (your dads, sister's or brothers or whoever's) and insert your sim in it then browse to APN settings.
2. Copy down the information.
3. Insert your sim back into your phone.
4. Go to APN settings and manually type all the information
you will get your mobile data working...
Hoping for some knowledgeable assistance here because FreedomPop has been no help. Two issues, probably related:
I have the SPH-720T 0A3 activated with FreedomPop but it only works over WiFi. I can't connect over 3G/LTE.
I get the Sprint Hands Free Activation on bootup and whenever I try to update Profile and PRL.
I'm rooted and have TWRP. I've tried a couple of ROMs, but they had the same behavior, so I reverted back to stock. I tried changing to CDMA mode and that brings up the 3G icon, but still no data access. It boots up with no APN checked and without the FreedomPop APN; I added the FP APN, but it doesn't help and disappears on reboot. I tried changing MDN and MSID to my FP phone number, but that also hasn't helped and they revert back on reboot. Mobile data is on.
I would appreciate any help on figuring out what exactly the problem is and whether I can fix it or if there is something I can go to FreedomPop or Sprint with and tell them what needs to be done. I'm new to all this but don't mind learning or following directions.
Many thanks.
