I think I have this problem too after I tried (unsuccessfully) to root my phone. Now I can only get some networks (Tmobile & Orange) but not my network (Talkmobile, which piggybacks Vodafone). I've been googling around about this for a while and I think it may be that I need to cahange my baseband. Current ver is EPU93_U_00.60.03. But I don't know how to do this. Any help to a noobe would be much appreciated...

You could try with Baseband Switcher 4, and select your baseband...Then you have to set the APN.

Hi, the stock rom came with a automatic setting for data networks. When you flash another rom you have to set a connection manually. Go to "Instellingen -> mobiele netwerken -> namen toegangspunten" and add a connection for T-mobile. Settings can be found here: http://www.androidworld.nl/android-wiki/android-tips-en-trucs/apn-settings/

how to run Heathcliff74's Samsung Repair 3G
Hi sab742,
I have same problem. I unlocked (network SIM) Omnia 7 (UK Orange) via FastGSM. From then, I can't connect to 3G.
I read your suggestion to run "Heathcliff74's Samsung Repair 3G". But how can I run this in my phone?
Do i need to send it by e-mail?
My phone do not have Custom ROM.. it is just SIM unlocked .. Any help / suggestion would be appreciated..
Many Thanks
changing the 3g to a wrong provider and back to the right one should help
edit: you can also try this using the network profile app of the samsung market place

Have you checked that the APN settings are correct? Go to settings>more (under wireless and network)>mobile network>APNs and either make sure the correct ones for your network have been set or create a new one with the correct settings. If you need to create a new one, you can get all of the info you need either from the internet or by calling your carrier and asking for them. I've found that the SIM Toolkit built in to CM doesn't work for me, but you can try it anyway.

Have you gone into settings>wireless>mobile networks and searched for networks. What happens when you do that? I had a similar problem with a JB rom. The rom just would not see the network. Nothing. Said error searching for networks. I flashed other ROms and they all worked ok. It was something specific with that ROM and my phone what was not happy. A different ROM sorted it out. I am too new to know where the signal loss is.

By doing a root using the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32889627 will it help??? or by using bootloader unlock will it help? Please guide me or make me start to do something....
If you are using GSM no you don't need to unlock it.
Just make sure you are on Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean.
Stick the GSM Sim in there press okay if it says SIM form unknown source and you should get all ur signals.
If you are planning to use it with a CDMA Carrier then u have to do settings flash and hope they stick so u can ask ur provider to connect it to their network.
Also are you using Retail XT907 or Developer XT907 ???
any luck
so we're you able to make the SIM card work?

Thanks for the information but it does not seem to be working. I inserted a GSM (BSNL) sim card into it. Reset all data. When the phone restarted it says "SIM from unknown source". I press OK. It shows a few bars (does not show any data access). However I am unable to make any calls nor does it receive any calls. I even changed the "Preferred network mode" to "GSM/UMTS". Am I missing something? I could sure use some help here.

On looking at the settings->About phone->Status, the following is what I see.

GSM = -65dBm
Service state:

I think the "Mobile network state" should be "Connected". The system version is 98.12.4.XT907.Verizon.en.US

I tried flashing the aussie NON-HLOS.bin and it did not work. The operator was BSNL. Upon inserting the sim, I get an error saying "BSNL Mobile - An error occured". List of available networks was also empty. Only option is to rinstall some custom rom, I guess.

I have uploaded the file at h t t p : / / d-hDOTst/FpQ. (I am apparently not allowed to post external links until I have 10 posts.) Though I am not sure why you would want to do that.
Can some upload a copy of the original XT-907 radio? I am unable to find it anywhere. Thanks.
http://sbf.droid-developers.org
All of the currently available Motorola firmware files are available at that link.
Just download the full XML.zip for XT907 and use what you need from it or flash the entire file in RSD Lite.
New RAZR M
Hi,
Were you able to resolve it?
I have a RAZR xt910 and i am using the verizon leak and for me as well Airtel gets connected and everything with mobile network in status showing as disconnected. Just wanted to share that. Apart from that, i have something new i want to ask about.
I am thinking of buying a RAZR M for my friend, and its available here in India, Mumbai.
But the Reliance guy says its not a boxed piece and he says all imports are opened box pieces and that he has to open the box to edit some PRL settings to enable the phone or data or something like that. He is a CDMA phone service vendor.
Probably for you to enable the phone, you still might have to enable the PRL or whatever.
Anyone here knows what exactly he is trying to do? or is he bull****ting me for selling me an unboxed (probably used) phone from US. The price seems legit as compared to an imported version. And i am getting one year Seller's warranty, i.e. his shop - Reliance Webworld Communications(A known enterprise).
I have also asked this query in another thread for JBX custom Rom as i use that on my RAZR. Will share any details here if i find anything.
PS- I am going to his shop to understand what exactly he is doing so lets hope i find an answer to your problems as well.
Also if anyone knows how to get a proper box piece from US then that is also welcome. We will fix the not able to use issue here itself
This kinda happened to me (but in my case mine was just saying no service [ie the shield with a cross]) , are you sure your sim is activated (since it shows mobile network status as disconnected) or your carrier could just be evil and want you to sign up for a plan, in my case I told them I had a 4g device and to use my phone I had to sign up for a 4g plan (which I did on my lesser mb520) even though I had service (for about 15 minutes) when I just bought the sim and activated it at the dealer
Razr M sim unlock tutorial
I found a sim unlock tutorial for the Droid Razr M on YouTube. Try it and update us whether it works.

Droid RAZR basically a World phone, means it can work on cdma/gsm networks.
when it got released it's GSM radio was disabled & in later motorola/verizon updates unlocked the GSM signals to make it
world phone.
FYI,
just google "droid razr world phone", you will see multiple sites reporting verizon unlocking the GSM signals on the phone to allow global roaming on GSM networks.
Dude !! i am talking about the Droid Razr M and not the Original XT912
tell me something i am not aware of
the newer variants of razr M arent letting the users to use them on gsm radio

Guys plz help me out here

[Q] How to set up my Defy for Vodafone New Zealand

Fist time at this. I have read many threads, they have provided some help but not enough to make me feel confident.
I gather I need to first root the phone;
I downloaded Defy Rooter (Droid2root)- My virus protection says Rage against the cage is a trojan. Is this a false positive?
Assuming it is safe, how do I run it. It has 4 files; busybox, rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin, su, and Superuser.apk
Once it is rooted I need to change the baseband. - This is my problem with the phone. It was originally purchased as a Telecom New Zealand phone (not by me)
As it is I can use the phone only on 2G or 3G when in the main citys. I cannot get the extended 3G which covers most of the country.
Vodafone NZ uses: GSM/2G/GPRS 900/1800mhz WCDMA/UMTS/HSPA 900/2100mhz (Telecom NZ is 850/1900)
I gather I then use the baseband switcher Tool
How do I use this?
Stupid question-- Do I do all this from my PC with the defy plugged into the USB?
Phone info MB525
Android 2.2.2
Baseband info EPU93_u_00.59.02
Kernal version 2.6.32.9-ga8343de
[email protected] 12#1
Build 3.4.2-145
it has the Bayer Camera
I tried to avoid posting this and searched the forum many times but I still need help.
Thanks Ken
Surly someone can help.

You mean to ask how to change baseband right?
Ever try this yet? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052745
And Defy with HSPA 850/2100 can't use HSPA 900, no matter what baseband you change. It's in hardware.

Didn't you get your device rooted? Then look for SuperOneClick, easy to use but got false detect by antivirus so disable them first.

Have now got it rooted. Next step Base Band Switch
Question: Is the Base Band Switcher run from the Defy or from a PC
I can find plenty about it but this is not mentioned. Probably a stupid question.
Do I try any set up that has the required frequencies or do I need a set specific to my area ie New Zealand and Carrier Vodafone?
Thanks in advance
It's android app (apk) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1052745
Try finding your country and your baseband, or it could be any that work for you, just try.
Solved...hopfully. Need to leave the home area to confirm.
Thanks the assistance. I had all the required files, just had not worked out how to put them on the defy.
Now have CWM installed and baseband switcher.
Turns out my baseband was on Singapore/ Indonesia. Am trying the Cent Europe one. It looks like the correct bands I need 900/2100
We will see.
Thanks intemptesta
You got me onto the right track
