Hi,
I successfully rooted my Nexus S 4G and flash it with with the gingerbread-ns4g-deck.
Everything worked fine so far. Mod looks great.
But I do not get any network service after the flash. It seems the phone is not recognizing the SIM card at all. Normally it asked for the PIN number after a reboot.
Now it doesn't. Also I have no option to choose a network manually.
I tried flashing different basebands (radios) and kernels.
Still no chance.
Thanks for your help! I live in Germany and have a Vodafone contract by the way.
All the best
GB
Nobody with an idea on this one?
Is there by chance an option where I can activate the SIM through entering my PIN number?
What should I do (install) to at least go back to the original firmware?
Thanks in advance.
GB

Thx for your help
Dude... you need to read more...
This is for the Nexus S 4G... for SPRINT. You flashed a SPRINT CDMA ROM on your GSM PHONE.

No problem man. It's pretty hard to brick these phones, I've even seen someone flash a CDMA radio on a GSM but they still fixed it... not that I suggest doing that!
I am using N_01.97.00R and I wish to downgrade to the older and .87 radio is it even possible?
I have an AT&T Atrix phone, once it was upgraded to N_1.77.36P then downgraded it to N_1.77.30P due to some issues. I believe radio is independent of other stuff; you only need to flash the radio.img only (or a update.zip with radio only in it).
You can flash any radio you want which is for your phone.

Find the "Fruit Cakes" thread in the development section, it's near the end of OP, there're two versions for AT&T phones.
Hello there, so heres the story.
My mate got Atrix 4g and apparently he was playing in the settings mode and _accidentaly_ locked the phone to USA band only. Needless to say his phone no longer is able to make calls or use any other of the network modes now.
My question is how can I update the radio so phone works with other modes again ? I googled and tried master reset and factory reset with no luck.
Then I found this Hope this is right for Atrix 4g ? and will that image if I flash it over current one will update/over write the current RADIO and hopefuly make phone usable again? Should i flash this “1FF-olympus-user-2.3.6-4.5.141-111212-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P012.sbf.gz” over current firmware?
Or is there a way to just flash new RADIO to phone and be over with it ?
Or do I need to root / unlock bootloader on current phone settings then push CWM and use that to flash radios? And if so where do I get said radios?
Or can i just use RDS Lite 5.6 and find some RADIOS and flash them from there?
Phone info
android version : 2.3.6
System version 4.5.141.MB860.ATT.en.US
Baseband
N_01.77.37P
Kernel version 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #2
Build number 4.5.141
Any info on this will be appreciated
thank you.
Just reflash the radio using fastboot. No need to flash a full sbf.
Hey. Not trying to Jack ur thread but i have a quick question that i didnt want to start a new thread for:
Can i install an interational radio firmware on my att atrix? I ask bc i took my atrix overseas and i cannot recieve 3g bc i think att cripples this frequency (900 i think).
Any help is appreciated

Can you guys tell me how to flash RADIO with fast boot ? Im not very savvy with whole motola stuff. So any pointers or how-tos or quick steps here will be very helpful.
And can I try with this radio ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34350668&postcount=3
Hey,
I ordered and received a N9005 unlocked version. I am on Bell network in a city where they use AWS (aka Band 4, aka 1700/2100) and (this is my bad for not checking carefully before ordering) this version doesn't support those LTE bands. It obviously connects fine through hspa+ though.
So, I was wondering, since the hardware actually supports those bands, is it something that a hack could unlock in the future (be able to use LTE with this phone on this network), or am I just gonna have to live on hspa+?
I purposely put this in general as I believe the discussion that this could drive would make it more fitting than in the questions forum if this is a possibility.
Thanks,
Math
N9005 only suppport LTE 2100MHZ IN your operation

LTE compatibility has been discussed in so many threads, you really should do a search before posting next time. If your phone has unlocked bootloader just flash Bell's modem onto it, once it becomes available. Or ask a friend, who has Bell branded GN3 to dump the radio for you, and take the firmware from him. Qualcomm's MSM8974 chip does support all LTE bands worldwide: http://www.qualcomm.com/snapdragon/processors/800

I usually do make a search but through all the threads relating to various questions regarding model variations and other questions relating to LTE, bands, compatibility, my search rendered very little insight to my specific question (although I'm sure it was answered before as you say, I just wasn't able to find it through all the other stuff relating to my keywords). And as you can see from the answer above you, I wasn't able to trust some answers that I managed to find.
Truly appreciate your answer though, Thank you very much and I'm happy to know I'll get LTE again soon.
Thanks
I too am waiting for a modem with 700/1700/2100/2600 on the LTE side. For the Note II this was done using Qualcomm's software to instruct it to use those bands... Rogers, Telus and Bell are all launching tomorrow on October 4th - sometime after then I hope to see the modem online and give it a whirl, but I suspect we might need a QCN file change also.
There is hope!
Got us a little closer: On my N9005 - *#0808# will bring up the Qualcomm USB settings.
On the Note II and S3 this is usually *#7283#
We're getting closer! Those with N900S / N900A / N900W8 phones, feel free to dump your NV Params QCN file now using the Qualcomm QPST Software!
bump!
No real luck yet. I can't flash N900W8 firmware onto my N9005. Neither the whole firmware or just the modem.bin.
Editing the NVParams didn't really work either, as some we tried just get reset to default after a reboot.
I flashed a N9005W8 modem (using dd as root) and unfortunately, it fails to communicate. Baseband shows as unknown. I suspect only a NVRAM dump with removed imei will work. Otherwise modem will need to be ported properly.

bump.... looking to find out how i can pull the modem file out of a specific firmware file, such as pulling the modem file only out of the bell tar file and then making it flashable with odin for my wind phone? i am downloading the whole bell firmware right now and am going to try to flash it on my phone..... i already tried the puerto rico one and it works, but with bell i only get hspa i assume that the bands bell uses are different than the PR ones. i do know that someone has already stated that they got rogers bands with it, but not bell yet, i dont think....

What does that bin contain? Your sayin that is necessary when i flash the modem? When i flash other n9005 modems i dont flash it.
In either case i dont have a copy. Upload and ill try.

Download the entire N900W8 firmware for odin. The modem and many other interesting things are within.
However unless you know something i dont, you will soft brick your phone. Assuming you are able to flash at all. (odin will not reject the rom)

Do you think in the future they will extract just the modem and I will be able to flash that separately? On the S3 I remember being able to flash different modems with the latest CWM.
Right now I have an unlocked n9005 with the Baseband I quoted in my last post. I am using it fine on Rogers Canada lte but in some places the signal is weak and I will lose connection altogether. I was hoping flashing the modem for my provider and region might fix it since the s800 has the correct frequencys for Rogers I think some are disabled or not being used because of software (it was an Asian model I think with a csc for a different region). To reiterate it does work on Rogers I was just hoping I could fix these network drops by flashing a more appropriate modem.

The modem is simple to extract, just untar the odin package.
The trick is actually making the modem boot.
The PBL appears to reject the modem, and thats very bad news for this concept.

bump, is this possible yet?
Just thinking out loud here, but I wonder if flashing the Canadian csc file would be helpful here? In the stainless rom thread in t mobile the op has the Canadian csc file posted. I wonder if flashing that first would allow things to boot with the w8 modem?
I did some thinking, and since you are trying to get a band working that the Snapdragon does support natively, maybe there is a chance. I would hazard a guess here, after some research and guessing, that the antenna actually would work here, so it could, in theory, just be a matter of firmware. Unfortunately the stock modem for the n900w8 may have to be modified to work....Not sure there. But may be an idea to flash the Canadian csc then flash the modem and see where that gets you? Not responsible if your phone bricks cuz I have no idea if this could work, as I said, just thinking out loud
Any updates on this? I too am interested in getting LTE on my n9005.

Hey guys,
is it possible to use one of these in Europe with full 4G support? Can I flash ROMS that are meant to be used on the European model and it will fix the antenna or should I flash specific Verizon ROMS and then flash an european modem, if at all possible? I thank any input because I'm clueless.
Thanks!

1st wrong section
2nd, Not 100% sure on the bands, but you cant flash any other firmware other than Verizon unless its a custom rom, But flashing a rom wont unlock bands.
in us version missing bands totally - physically! it isnt about software but only HW ...
