My carrier uses 900/1800 baseband. I tickled through all regions and carriers and didn't find 900/1800. The closest option is 900/2100. How to add 900/1800 baseband to baseband selector?

The baseband selector is ported over from the defy. They probably know more about it and they're a more active community: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1444&order=desc.
Current ROM: CM7.2 Euroskank Cherry Picks | Bravo port

Did your Bravo come with the 900/1800 baseband? If so, you lost it when you flashed CM7. There is still hope, find someone with a stock rooted Bravo, or a Defy/phone with same radio, that uses your carrier and upload the entire system/etc/motorola and I'll be able to help you out.
I know that the Defy, Defy+, Bravo, & Milestone 2 all have the same radio. Start with those phones then expand to other Motorola Omap 3630 phones.
If you made a nandroid of your stock with that baseband and it worked just fine, restore it and upload that directory.

Frankly, I don't remember which baseband I used with a stock Bravo. I started to worry about that after I had flashed CM7. Before CM7 I had got CM10 and the signal strength was pretty good in the Underground, but when I had flashed CM7 my phone wasn't able to connect to network. So I started to think that there was something wrong with CM7. When I checked baseband I saw that my carrier baseband GSM900/1800 is not in list (btw, CM7 900/2100, is the first number for 2g and is the second for 3g? or are them both for 2g?). And I thought that signal might be lost because of difference in baseband. But than I flashed WR yesterday. I have a strong signal in the Underground now (in baseband selector I checked 900/2100). So the signal strength is not depend on baseband but on ROM.

The baseband shouldn't be dependent on the rom. If you have a working signal in CM7, then the same baseband should give you a working signal in CM9\10\MIUI. I actually use 3 different basebands that I use -- they all work good for me, but in low\no signal areas sometimes changing basebands will increase or give me a signal. It'll be boring, but go to Settings>Advanced>Baseband Selection and try out all of the 900mhz basebands until you find some that work well for you. I use 850mhz basebands so mine won't help, and to all the other 850's -- there's only 3, 4 including ATT stock which isn't in Baseband Selector. And for the other question, both are for 2g, 3g, 4g -- what's being transmitted over what particular frequency all depends on the governments and local standards (and your hardware )

Thanks. Will try different 900mhz someday There may be some tweaks in ROM. For example, for battery saving or signal power increasing, I guess Anyway, It's OK in WhiteRabbit rom now :good:
I was so happy with WhiteRabbit because of strong network signal. A couple weeks later my phone has got weak signal again... I have no idea what has happened. It doesn't depend on rom as skeevy420 said. But I do believe that it's software problem. May it be some power-save profile?
Have just posted a request to add my baseband at Defy forum. Maybe it could help..
I'm thinking that the kitkat baseband listed in that Cloudy rom might not be working because I tried it on the Optimus G3 Rom same issue which is that it showed my default as GSM/WCDMA, even with CM11 I had this problem but unlike the other 2 Roms I could change the default to LTE without it reverting back. Just wanted to give you all a heads up. I mean what else could it be because it's defaulting below the LTE.
Hi all,
I own a SM-A500M phone. The phone has unlocked stock rom (original rom is not modified by carrier) and updated trough OTA to android 5.0.2. I know 4g does work in my phone because I could use it with my prior carrier, but I recently changed to CLARO and with this new provider I don't have 4g acces, only H+ and it is really slow and laggy connection.
I know the following:
1) Sim card is a compatible 4g nano sim
2) The carrier CLARO has 4g coverage where I live
3) The phone is not the problem
4) I have tried all the usual FAQS (APN's, select LTE in config, reboot) with no success.
5) The phone's variant is right (latinoamerican brand), so It can't be due to frequencies or bands problems.
I asked for help in CLARO and told me that this has happened amongst users with unlocked phones (that is, rom not modified with CLARO's bloatware), and the solution is to flash CLARO's rom. But the problem with this solution is that CLARO hasn't released android 5.0.2 update (and I think it will never update) and I really like android 5 and wouldn't want to return to 4.4.
So, is it true? Is there a chance to fix this problem with minor tweaks? What is the problem here?
Since I recently acquired this phone, I would prefer not lossing warranty, so rooting and custom roms might not be an option.
Thanks in advance. Kind regards!
You could try to flash their rom and check if it works. Then you can be 100% sure that hardware/chip/network provider are fine. I have the same phone on since last week, but still did not go to get the chip at a movistar office. Maybe you need to activate the chip and they refuse to do it unless you get their rom. Maybe just getting their rom, and then flashing back the updated stock one or a CM or whatev would be enough.
Hi there, I would like to know if other people are having signal problems after the MM update. I am on Tmobile on a AT&T Unlocked Priv that WAS working perfect (signal strength wise) when it was on Lollipop. Since I upgraded by OTA to MM using a friends Simcard my signal is a mess. It cycle between LTE , 4G, 3G, EDGE all the way to GSM (G). And when I hit the road it stay in EDGE most of the time. That didn't happen in Lollipop and have never happened in my Nexus 6 and Nexus 6P. So is no TMO signal, is something that AT&T or Blackberry change on the modem firmware.
I tried to flash the old modem (lollipop) but it won't boot and told me the data was encrypted and corrupted and needed to wipe my phone. I flashed back the MM modem and booted. I flashed the TMo modem and I don't think it is sticked or maybe is it just the same one. Can you reply with your baseband numbers. Mine is MPSS.BO.2.6.2.c2-0007-M8994FAAAANAZM-1.55185.2
Any help will be very appreciated.
Hello. I have unlocked Verizon V20 VS995 and I am in Europe. In the urban areas phone works fine with all frequencies, also 4G B3 and B20 frequency, but when I go just outside town it looses network. Any sugestions?
CDMA LGV20 will suffer with those issues in Europe. So just switching to a native LTE/GSM device is the only way...
But I can't understand why the sognal is so weak when phone supports all the frequencies in my country. I even changed antennas (plastic bumpers) but still the same result.
Simple explanation - it is not a HW issue - the root cause is combination of your modem firmware and stock ROM you are using as the LTE/GSM band usage is set to be with lower priority and the modem constantly searches for the CDMA signal firstly...
So, is there anything to fix this? Maybe flash another rom or modem, if I find somehow to root stock Oreo.
If you are in VS995 really (and please check the sticker indication under your battery for that it should state VS995 only without Sat the end) you can roll back to Nougat via kdz flash and unlock the bootloader via DirtySanta, flash custom recovery and flash afterwards AOSP/LOS based roms.
I think I have VS995 because before ota upgrade to Oreo I have installed few KDZ's from the link without any problem. Can you tell me how can I check ARB version of Oreo?
All Verizon ROMS including Oreo are ARB00
Also you might try flashing Oreo Alpha Omega Hybrid ROM firstly and if not happy than try RR roms...
Tried Alpha Omega ans Lineage 15.1 and the situation is the same. Poor signal strenght.
