Last week I got an unlocked defy from Amazon to use with simplemobile in the US. I activated a sim card and everything worked fine (data, calls, texts).
I made a backup with titanium back up, installed IML74K 4.03 AOKP build28 for Motorola Defy and all went smoothly. However, once it was loaded, I could not connect to the simplemobile network and would only get "emergency calls only"
Tried the baseband switcher v4.0, different frequencies and had no luck. In the attempt of reloading the ROM, could not get the phone to boot past the loading screen. Then I attempted to load a full SBF (T-Mobile_MB525_6.19.0_1FF). This resulted in a black screen, probably due to a version mismatch.
Then I flashed JORDN_U3_6.36.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNTMOB1B4B5DE1028.0R_JORDANTMO_P022_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf, and all worked...except connecting to the network. I still get "emergency calls only". I tried baseband switcher and 3gFixUSA found on these forums to no avail.
Does anyone have any suggestions for what to try to get the radio functioning again?

I'm having the same problem on t mobile..... ugh.
I got it. I think.
Nevermind. seen you have used baseband switcher...
Does the baseband switch stick after reboot?
But, theres a 3g fix somewhere here... Try here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897445
Im not sure if that will help... cheers.
Yeah, I tried that exact 3g fix...is it possible that the radio firmware version is too old/too new/just wrong? Is it different than the baseband?

I'm sure you tried all the basebands that it shows... Hm.. I had the problem until I switched to cm7 honestly.. I know the radio cant be old if it worked before. So. Im not completely sure... Except. Im on Tmobile :c
Interesting...well maybe I should try to install cm7 as well. Is there a specific build that you used? Also, did it work out of the box, so to speak, or did you have to do some more baseband switcher tests?
At this point I'm willing to try to replicate whatever worked for you if you would be willing to share what worked, I would greatly appreciate it

Its the build by Shawnshine. But I'm.sure the other builds would work.. and yes mine worked out of the box. I just tried all the basebands for tmobile and one finally worked. Plus try playing with the sim card. I got mine completely bone stock. I came from a evo 4g and a 3D. But I wont have this phone for too long I'm getting a HTC one next month but this phone has been good to me.

I picked up a Milestone X off of Craigslist that's paired up with a local carrier GCI here in Alaska. I'd like to change it to another local carrier ACS. They have both carried the Milestone X, so that gives me hope that it should work. I've already rooted it and have installed MIUI on it for fun, but I want to try to actually use it as a phone now. From what I understand I need a new prl? I've been trying to do some research into this before asking, and I'm assuming I need to use qpst? What all do I need to do the actual switch? Also I can't find a sbf for it, so not sure if that's a bad thing or not.
Thanks for any input.
Edit: I nandroided back the stock. Thought I'd put in my phone specs

I was having a problem getting into ##PROGRAM as the SPC wasn't 000000, but using RadioComm I figured out what it is. Is there a way to change that to all zero's so I don't have to remember what the string is?
EDIT: Turns out that it was APN settings being off for some reason. Its all fixed now.
I have not messed with modding my phone in LOOOONG time. Im trying to find info on how to fix this issue but I'm having a difficult time finding anything about it even though I know it used to be a big issue with the 1337 att s4's back when i got it.
I did a factory reset because my phone got super bloated. Now the 4G modem does not work. Everything else does without issue. Can make calls and send texts, use wifi etc. Just the modem stopped working.
I have an SGH-1337 ATT model with safestrap 3.62 (TWRP v2.6.3.0) on the phone and am using the stock rom slot. running android 4.2.2. Baseband is 1337UCUAMF3 kernal says "3.4.0-812098 [email protected] #1 Wed Jun 5 15:49:36 KST 2013"
I would really appreciate if anyone could help me out here.
Hello everyone,
I'm getting no service on my Sprint Galaxy S4 SPH-L720.
I've tried Slimkat 4.4.2, 5.0.1 and Google Play 5.0.1. I get service at times but it keeps cutting out for no reason. I am on baseband L720VPUFNAE, and PRL version 55020. I'm using an app called Roam Control which keeps the phone on roaming mode but it won't stay connected either. Even when set to force roaming it trys to connect to Sprint service. Perviously it would stay connected to Verizon.
Also on Slimkat 5.0.1 when enabling Roam Control it says "please make sure device is rooted" I know it is, because roam control doesn't give me that error on Slimkat 4.4.2 or Google Play Edition 5.0.1
I started having these issues about a week ago, before that everything was working fine. I was on Google Play Edition for a week, and then I started having these issues and went back to slimkat which worked flawlessly.
So to summarize this, phone will not stay connected to roaming no matter what I do. It wants to go back to Sprint, I've tried calling the ##872283# number or whatever it is. That didn't work, it told me it was unavailable and to try again.
Also, one time my cat knocked my phone off the table and it said no sim card inserted so I rebooted my phone and have been having issues since that day.
Did you check to make sure the SIM card didn't get jarred loose when it fell. If that's not it do you have a backup of your stock Rom you could restore? I have had connection problems before and going back to stock TW Rom restored it.
Hi, thanks for replying
I removed the sim card and put it back in, but that isn't fixing it.
I'm on GPE 5.0.1 latest update. Sometimes Roam Control works, and my phone will stay on roaming network, and sometimes it won't. Whenever I go to switch between Home and Roaming it doesn't want to go back to roaming. I have no idea what's going on.
Hi again,
So this is what i've noticed so far.
Slimkat 4.4.4 = Confirmed working, phone goes in and out of roaming back to Sprint network just fine. All data/mms works perfectly.
Slimkat 4.4.2 = Confirmed working, phone goes in and out of roaming back to Sprint network just fine. All data/mms works perfectly.
GooglePlayEdition 5.0.1 = Phone has intermediate service
Sacs Custom Rom v4 = Phone has no wifi, but the Roam Control works.
Slimkat 5.0.1 (Beta/Alpha) = Phone tells me it isn't rooted.
So the good news is, i've got the phone to be atleast usable now. But I want to know why these other roms are giving me problems, is it the baseband/modem I am using? Which one's am I supposed to be using for these roms?
From what I've read here on xda you have to be on the latest firmware, NG2 to have any success getting lollipop working smoothly. So I would look up how to use Odin to upgrade that. All the rooms that I've flashed recently have mentioned in the op to be sure you're on the latest firmware so it may also help with the other KK rooms.
I'm on Baseband version L720VPUFNAE isn't that the latest one?
No NAE is more than a year old NG2 was released last summer.
Hi,
I went ahead and updated to NG2 baseband using this file http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23622183712458249 and Odin. (I am stating this to help people who might be Googling). It updated my Modem from the NAE one to the NG2 baseband, I am still on Slimkat 4.4.4. I will try flashing Google Play Edition 5.0.1 and see what happens.
Thank you guys for the assistance!
Does everything work the way it should on SK 444? If so make a backup so you have a solid place to revert to if you need it in the future. Also be sure to get a good GPS lock before flashing to a 5.0 Rom.
Yes everything works in Slimkat 4.4.4. The phone goes in and out of roaming without any hiccups. Also what do you mean by make sure you get a good GPS lock?
Furthermore, I have went back to Google Play Edition 5.0.1 and I am still experiencing the issue where my phone does not want to go back to roaming after being on the Sprint network. I will be out of service and the phone will just say "searching for service" even though I have Roam Control set too "Roam Only Mode". In order to get my phone to get service back I have to go into Cellular network settings and select System select and put my phone on Home only and then go back to Automatic to make the phone connect to the roaming network.
This is becoming a real nightmare.
The GPS not working was a common problem with GPS 5.x and having a good lock on your position in a stick TW Rom before flashing to GPE is supposed to fix it. So my comment was merely a preventive one. I have no idea for you on the roaming problem in GPE.

Have you tried updating the profile and prl while in SK 444? Then flash into GPE, that's one thing I would try if you haven't done so.

How would I go about updating the profile and PRL while in SK 444? It's based off of Cyanogenmod kernal, as is GPE.

You must be on a stock touchwiz rom in order to update your data profile or prl.

My bad, I meant have you tried updating the prl and profile while in a stock TW rom? My apology for the confusion.
Here's another thought, perhaps try one of the other non GPE 5.x Roms to see if your troubles are limited to the one GPE Rom or if it's a lollipop issue. That may be useful info for those smarter than I to help you work this out.

I may be having a related issue. I didn't want to make a separate thread in case this is the case.
My data was just fine about a week ago. Then I decided I'd try out a new ROM because there's a couple things that annoy me with CM12 at the moment, so I tried the GPE ROM. It was all great except I wasn't getting service when I'm at work.
The problem is that this is now the case with EVERY ROM I flash. I also tried nandroid restoring what I had before flashing GPE. I even went back to stock, did the whole PRL and Profile thing, but I still have no service.
What's also a problem is that I have service (LTE) at home, so whenever I get home to try a new thing that will hopefully fix the issue, I can't find out til I go back to work or leave home or whatever. So far, every day has been unsuccessful.
Edit: A weird thing is that even where I have LTE, if I go to view my network status, it shows "Out of service" under Service State, and Mobile Network State as disconnected. Actually just noticed this, but my phone number is 0.
Alright, so further testing has commenced.
I went over to a Touchwiz rom, updated my PRL, activated the phone, and did all of that. Went back to SlimKat 4.4.4 and thought my phone was on "Roam Only". Well turns out I was wrong, the phone is set to Roam Only and I am still trying to connect to Sprint towers while at home (Where I have no Sprint service) so something definately up. Maybe I need to re-root my phone as I am having some weird issues when it comes to root. Can someone perhaps link me to a thread to get started on rooting the device? I don't remember how I did it last year when I bought the phone. But I am comfortable with using Odin and SamsungKey drivers.
I tapped on a setting in the *#9090# menu. At this point the phone will only find service with the lte discovery app. I can register on ATT TMO VRZ. yet when in a call there is no sound. can confirm calls go through. If the unit is on any other bootloader or baseband there is no service and mobile networks is not accessible , it says insert a sim to access. the baseband and any other info in the about phone status menu is unknown cept for the ser.#. I have a twp bkp of JDC 8.1, and the latest tmo stock tw backed up. they are no help. my questions are what have I screwed up and is it fixable. thank you for your time

Now, I have the newest bootloader for SGH-M919 ending in FQA1 (4.4.4) and the only working baseband is still UMDL (4.2.2). I'm running 8.1 JDCTEAM, WiFi and cell are working great. But Why cant I upgrade the baseband?

SOLVED
Flashed stock. Restored only Data partition from TWRP backup.
