[Q] MB526 no signal - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
after a succesfull rooting attempt on my motorola defy+, i seem to get next to zero signal. (root tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595013&page=9)
Is there no single way to restore the phone to default, without all the rooting? i really regret messing with the system and i wanted it the same way i bought it.
Or atleast get a perfectly fine signal as i did before the flash.
My location is belgium, and i have no clue what baseband setting it would be or wich sbf file i need to fully restore :C

Match your base band to the network your using with this. I would have try central Europe first.
You probably had DFP231 so my best guess would be using this sbf.
Second guess will be using this one, all from here.

Thank you

I thank you allot for helping me find the right things. i reflashed everything back to stock.
However, Wich sbf file would be for belgium? it's western europe. these others work okay but the baseband doesn't seem to do well, my signal for 2g and 3g are very poor now. is there absolutely no way to fully restore back to this device's original stock? the one i bought in belgium?
and the marketplace keeps crashing on either of those SBF's.

on the phone box you should see the baseband you had when purchased, it will help if you check your carrier name and baseband.
Maybe you had the France retail version, being also a French speaking country.
If you using Mobistar than the frequency for 3G is 2100, which should work with the current sbf.
Try removing the sim card and back again. restarting once or twice. sometime it need relearning the network.
Look in setting, "About", "Status", you should see the signal strength. Good reception is in the scale 51-100dBm.
113dBm-No reception.

Here's a sticker on the box, i'm not sure wich says the baseband.
i appreciate your help.

It says your original sbf was setup to 900/2100 Wcdma and 850/900/188/1900 for GSM. Your current sbf should work just fine.
If it's not working then install the French sbf, Orange France is using the same as yours original sbf.

Ohh, I see, thank you!
i use proximus, but i'm sure that's the same thing. anyway thank you again.
i did get signal on the sbf you supplied, but it always said "network unavailable"

Indeed, Proximus use the same frequencies as Mobistar.
Go to settings, Wireless and Network, Mobile networks, Operator selection, Serch network. See if you can find Proximus. If you do, click on it.

hmm, i switched the sim card in and out, but i still get connection unavailable on network search

Strange...
Try flashing this sbf.

Hey there, the issue was fixed by simply setting my radio to prefer WDCMA.
Once again i thank you greatly. You have helped me out so well. I added 3 thanks to your account

I'm glad your phone is usable again but from what you did your phone apparently can't work on 2G.
I would have use that sbf and see how it's working, now that you can always go back to the current one.
Anyway, enjoy your Defy.

Droid Pro baseband

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.

I haven't checked the bands, but I suspect you may only get Gprs/edge, no 3g.
Also, the telstra rom if its still on the phone probably doesn't have the data settings for your network. Find and download connectionsetup.cab and install, or move to a different rom.
If the 3g bands don't match, changing rom wont help,, you will only ever get Gprs and edge.

Go read the stickies at the top of general, Wm 6.5 q&a and rom dev threads. Remember, telstra is the same as regular, as far as roms are concerned. You can use hspl 3 and 4.

I got a big brick!

Hi all...
Just for know if exist a way to rescue my milestone 2, I get it really hot since I installed a lot of apps, so used app remover (the phone was rooted) to "recycle" or disable motoblur apps, but I didn't make it well. I get back all that apps but the original blur launcher and dial program didn't worked.
So decided reset to factory settings, now I cannot access to the launcher, so I just see the HSPDA indicator, cannot recieve calls, cannot do anything.
I will send it to warranty tomorrow, this is just for know if there is something to do before, of course, I cannot configure to usb debugging, so I guess I cannot do anything.
Thanks...
Flash the stock rom sbf with RSD lite, and you will be fine
you can find the sbf files here:
http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2
Download the SBF according your region here:
http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2
Turn off the phone.
Turn on the phone holding vol down and camera buttons.
You will enter in Bootloader mode.
Flash with RSDLite.

Yes, I read it before, the problem for me is not sbf from my carrier, iusacell in mexico, just telcel, but is not my carrier.
But, this phone is from the job, they bought more, so I have this question, ¿Is there a way to dump a valid rom from a partner with the same phone and then flash it to mine?
It wold be great! Since my phone was rooted, I guess the warranty is lost...
Thanks!

You can do a nandroid backup using the Droid2Bootstrapper from a partner phone, and copy to your phone and do a restore.
Hi, have you tried to install adw or som eother home laucncher using adb? I think that way you can fix your problem , im not sure if its correct but it should be like :
> adb install launcher.apk

thx for your rep, my net mode is set as lte/wcdma/gsm... however, when i set it to wcdma only, on low signal areas the signal drops dramatically, because of freq. change, i keep flashing new modems in order to find the suitable one :/

Hi
that is an option is most likely a modem issue, you could also see what modem your country operator uses ( check in sammobile) and flas it to see if you get an impovement

I'm totally messed up with Service mode on samsung galaxy duos. Which caused not recognising any SIM. Help me out to reset everything to Service mode default. Thanks in Adv
@Iway76: You get a kudos for searching before posting, even though this isn't the right forum for you. I would recommend attempting to install a stock ROM using Odin, not Kies, and see if that helps. If that doesn't help, you may have to take the device in for service as you may have a hardware issue like mine, where the SIM card tray died while attempting to unlock the S4 - again - and it just was a coincidence that the hardware failed while working on the service menu unlock.

LTE Problem

Hi all,
Just want to know if anyone encounter similar problem like I do.
I am currently on Wind Mobile network in Canada, I used to get 4G network using the factory DOC4 firmware and baseband.
All the custom roms I flashed, only connect at H+ no matter which one.
I tried changing the sim with the provider and it still the same.
My Device:
Samsung SM-N900W8
Firmware and baseband (the newest DOC4)
