So I got a Droid Pro off contract and unlocked it myself, and I'm currently using it in Kuwait on a local SIM card that has a data plan subscription. I've used this SIM on other Android devices so i confirm that 1) The data plan is OK and 2) I have the correct APN settings.
Now on my Pro I can't get any data connectivity. After much searching I decided that the problem is with the baseband, as I read on many sites that sometimes a baseband version will give better connectivity over another baseband in certain areas, and in some cases people didn't have any data connectivity at all until they updated their baseband.
So my questions are:
Can I confirm its a baseband issue? Or do I have to try to confirm?
How can I update the baseband?
Which baseband version should I use?
I'm running stock Pro with baseband n_01.53.07p, and the Select Radio band menu shows only USA Band, which clearly isn't helping!
It's not your baseband. You need to go to settings -> wireless + network settings -> mobile networks -> access point names
have the provider manually add the APN info since it's not automatically detected with this phone for some reason. had to go through the same thing here in thailand. (required phone reboot as well)
n_01.53.07p is not as stable for who uses this phone outside US as n_01.53.00R which is the original baseband version in stock rom(2.26.2).
I will not accept 2.26.60 update until the next release one.

Really? I can't recall whether I tried to establish a data connection using the pre-update version or not. I'll flash the SBF & do a factory reset and let you know.
Hi refeee2
I maybe mislead you for the baseband version issue.
I'll change the sim card of another carrier for further testing.

No problem.
I've already rolled back to 2.26.20, and still no data.
I've contacted Motorola/Verizon about this and I'm waiting for their reply.
Hi refeee2
It's sim card issue.
My carrier relaced one for me, the phone works fine with both baseband version.

Raphael,
That SIM card that you say had a problem, did you use it on any other phones?
Seeking experts' knowledge here:
Is it possible to take the baseband files off a Euro Milestone 2 and run them on the Pro? Obviously I don't need CDMA connectivity, I just need to test alternate basebands for my GSM radio. Choose the Milestone2 cause it's running on the same chipset.
Trying to switch my Galaxy s4 (at&t) to straight talk service. I love downgraded to mk2 and rooted /
Super User as well as Safe Strap. I'm on mk2 now and just got my wifi working. I don't know how to unlock the boot loader or what but it's in the stock slot. I messed up the default but I just want to be able to switch to straight talk.

Ended up switching to a t mobile sim card. I figured since it's a att phone to use the att sim card.. but I tried the t mobile and getting some service but very little. ST is telling me a tower near me is down to give it 24 hours but I feel that's a goose chase lol I've used a t mobile sim card in the exact spot I'm in and worked fine. It was in the note 2 from Verizon fully unlocked though.

I have a at&t locked s4 on straightalk now. No need to root unlock or anything just the at&t compatible sim from them and adjust apns. I can't advise on the tmobile base for st since there coverage is horrid in my area but if you do use the at&t the apn I use for my s4 and my gf s4 is as follows
apn:tfdata

anything not listed above was left as either not set or whatever the default was when creating a new apn. I have no issues with data or mms using this apn on either phone. Hope that helps

Well they told me a tower was down for t mobile yesterday and they said 24 hours and it's still not hardly working. I can only use my gs4 on my couch with my hand near the window. About to call them and get I in their butt. It's not my phone is the apn settings or something on the ST end. Will update after this long as call
Unless I am mistaken the apn has zero to do with reception. Apn's are for your mms/data access. I have never come across a phone where the apn had any effect on the actual cellular signal.
Does anybody know or has had success flashing a t mobile rom, whether it be stock or customized rom, on a retail Verizon note 3?
I've read reports that flashing using Odin will brick...
​But how about using safestrap.
The reason why I want to, is because I would like to completely switch over to tmobile from Verizon. But still keep my phone...
As well has anyone had experience with getting wifi texting/calling to work on a Vz Note 3 retail?
I wish for this thread to be a place where devs, users are able to share and maybe find a solution. Any help or advice would greatly be appreciated
I did flash a t mobile rom on my verizon note 3. I used safestrap. I was getting errors about wifi calling and it would give me a SIM card error every now and then. But over all it worked fine. Just add Verizon's data info in so your text messaging will work.
Cant get tmobile to work
Can someone please point me in the right direction........i am just trying to get my VZ note 3 to get tmo services to work, but no matter what i do, nothing works...
I have tried on the stock rom before rooting or anything following these steps listed in OP== NO DICE
I have rooted, installed safestrap 3.75 b4 and tried the steps again===NO DICE
I have installed a custom rom, specifically jasmine rom 2.0( which requires to flash the NC2 modem afterwards, which i did successfully) in hopes that that would help and====NOOOO DICEEEE
i can't access any service menu listed in this whole WEBSITE, none will work, not even an app from the play store that executes them....
I just keep getting that stupid INVALID SIM error and the bars indication stay blank and nothing happens.....WHAT THE #&@% AM I MISSING????
I HAVE NEVER RAN INTO SO MANY ISSUES BEFORE, im not a newbie in flashing stuff or anything like that, been using XDA since teh Windows Mobile days in HTC's prime, but this has be off the wall.
ANY HELP at all would be appreciated....since im the only asswhole that cant seem to have tmobile work on the VZ Note 3.......

Has anyone ever tried flashing the T-Mobile modem to activate the WCDMA 1700 band? Is that's what's needed to activate this band or is there more to it? I know wih LG devices, by flashing the complete software of a different carrier changes the band settings as well
I'm assuming no one has any interest in doing this? WCDMA 1700 is needed for HD voice for T-Mobile....
Finally, I can finally write with a clear head after watching this bollywood movie.
Been searching for solution all over the web, couldn't find a precise solution yet or perhaps I could be the only one facing this.
I have a Samsung S7 Edge, with a Verizon carrier. The phone wasn't recognizing my sim network and kept on notifying I insert a Verizon Sim card.
Came across this post {GUIDE} Flashing the SM-935U firmware onto your Verizon S7 Edge and Rooting By dajmanjt, and followed it.:cyclops:
After successfully flashing the SM-935U firmware, the notification changed to No network connection, can't make calls, tried making an emergency call and it displays radio off.
Please, I need help!!! Need it to start recognizing my country's network (Nigeria).
Thanks

it looks like a hardware issue instead of software imo. And you probably flashed the wrong CSC (country code) firmware.

You are right. Is it possible to download the CSC and flash it separately?
And I will also need help in downloading a suitable or a universal ROM that is compatible with all cellular network if there is something like that.
Thanks so far Fureedx
