Hello guys, is my first time here
I need help with ... baseband change is possible? because i'm living in Argentina, and this cellphone have 3G: 900/2000
and here use in 850 and 1900 .. mtk not only allows other options mark 2000 and 900
thank you
sorry for being too late...
first of all. you seem like you want to change your baseband firmware???
right?
it's possible but not counseling you to flash your radio (baseband firmware) unless your phone is having network issues (3G network strength, connecting to towers, wifi problems ...)
but if it's only choice you have.. you have to find the right radio firmware for your phone..
because that process break many phones

Hi everybody,
Thanks to all developer here to make the atrix an amazing phone and I'm using it happily. However, the service provider that I'm using have a problem with HSDPA voice call problem.
1. If I use *#*#4636#*#* and choose GSM only, the phone is working properly. (showing the signal is EDGE)
2. If I use GSM auto(PRL), the logo of the network will change from edge to H+, I can browser the internet, download from the market and sent sms. However, if I answer a phone call or make a phone call, it can be connected with no sound and even if I press on the speaker. Sometime it reboot after the call is connected around 5 seconds...
I just wondering is it a problem of UMTS900 problem? Becoz there is several provider in Hong Kong but the one that I'm using is using UMTS900 for HSDPA/3G.
If anyone know how or any suggestion to fix it please kindly let me know about it...
Millions thanks for all of you and sorry for my poor english.
There is some information from the "Phone Information"

OMG I got the same problem.
Any way to include UMTS 900 into the Atrix?
How to fix
Hehe I had this issue too when I first got the phone. You can search the Atrix forums for modem panic if you wish more information.
If you just want to fix it: flash any new radio that is not stock. Originally I fixed it by flashing the Telstra radio, but I have not had this issue with the Orange, HKTW nor AT&T 4.5.91 radio's, so anything you flash should be OK.
So: download a radio image from the dev section, start phone in RSD-mode (volup) and flash the image with RSD-lite.
Enjoy HSPA + phonecalls

Hi! you said that your phone is now functional means H+ also shown in 3G mode?
Hello,
My sister bought me a samsung galaxy s2 i9100 from Thailand
Its
product code : GT-I9100LKATHL
PDA : I9100DXKF4
PHONE : I9100DXKF1
CSC: I9100OLCKF1
Now I have a very bizarre problem
We have in Israel 3 carriers and
pelephone : 3g-2100 , 850
cellcum: 3g-2100, 850
orange: 3g-2100, 900
Now I can not get 3g in orange.. Only with cellcum and pelephone sim card..
Could it be that my device dont support 2100 ( or maybe its turned off in the modem ?)
like in here
android fourm (cant post links) ... 258859-how-enable-850mhz-3g-network-frequency-your-samsung-i9000-galaxy-s.html <-- I tried it does not work..
But I did not tried to put a different rom..
I dont want to reinstall everything..
Is there a way only to flush the modem????
My big question is .
When I'm connected to 3g Is there a way to know in what mhz am I connected?
If when I put pelephone sim card I'll know what mhz is used to be connected to 3g it will help me Identify the problem...
Thank you
UPDATE
Well I've updated to lite'ning Rom v4.2
Still all I get from Orange is G
Is it possible that the phone does not support all 850/900/1900/2100?
Could it be ?
update
Well its seems that I just had a bad orange sim card it was sim+ instead of usim+
The stupid thing is that In the first time I sow the problem I suspected it was a bad sim card.. I called Orange and the stupid lady told me that My sim card is ok and If I have a problem its in my phone...
Hi, terribly sorry if this is a repost but I've searched all over general and don't see an answer.
I've seen posts on other sites that state the t-mobile defy can be used for att 3g but will not have the 1900 band, is this true?
In that same thread I saw someone claiming that you can get both. On gsm arena I see that some defy's should have 850/1900.
What version supports both the 850/1900 bands for 3g?
Thank you,
I've brought this up in another thread and there was no reply. From what I read there is two issues here. First is the hardware and then the ROM you flash your defy with (firmware). They both need to support the frequency. I suspect the hardware is the key.
So if your phone hardware does not support a frequency I don't think you can switch it by any firmware. (This is all about 3G by the way, Defy is quad-band for 2G, GPRS, and supports all 2G frequencies.). I think Defy UK is 900/2100 for 3G on T-Mobile.
This could be wrong so I hope some expert will reply to confirm it - and perhaps tell us how we can check what frequency our Defy hardware/firmware supports!?
Could you try to read this forum
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1598301
Thanks for the reply, it's a long thread on that forum and talks about just about anything (not specific to Defy + 3G). But I had read it before and had another quick look at it again today.
One thing I couldn't find was how to check what 3G frequencies your Defy has Firmware/Hardware. Anyone ?
XT535 no 3G (WCDMA 1900)
I recently bought the Defy XT535, and I didn´t take note on what frequencies did it worked on.
I have read on the thread dedicated to update the XT535 from GB to ICS that some people have problems with their 3G connection working after the update, and I think it has to do with the chinese SBF file.
I´ve also read in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11176044 you can fix your 3G connection by flashing a new SBF file.
Unfortunately, I haven´t found a SBF file that can be flashed for my device that will fix my 3G. Anyone has solved this issue already and can give me a hand?
XT535 HW didn't support WCDMA 1900. http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_defy_xt535-4622.php
Changing baseband won't help.
Furthermore, that's thread was so old. They use "zip" patch to fix baseband, not .sbf (.sbf means to be only stock rom files.)
We now use Basebandswitcher to fix MB525-526 baseband easily.
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

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.

Thanks, Yes have seen this but I need to get root access first to get the files to send him.
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
Hi,
I am experiencing problems trying to use my SIM card in my yotaphone 2 (yd201) after I flashed new firmware onto it (when I bought it it was YD206 and it worked). I live in Slovakia and tried to use different sim cards and also I tried flashing different radio firmwares (EU, HK, CN, ... with android 4 and 5) but all i got every time I turned it on was only emergency calls message. I was unable to connect to a network manually nor automatically.
But heres the thing, I live in the UK as well and everything works well there (with my slovak SIM card).
So my questions are: What was the original YD206 firmware (I didnt note that before flashing yd201) was it HK? I will try to flash YD206 again to see if it works and then reflash with just leaving the radio firmware from the YD206 (whatever firmware that turns out to be).
And second, more thechnical question is: Does anyone now what could be the underlying issue here? The technological cause of the problem? Is it incompatibility of the radio firmwares to work with frequency bands of mobile signal in Slovakia? (unlikely since they seem to be largely the same standards as in UK)
Thanks to anyone who offers his opinion, I wouldnt like to have to throw an amazing smartphone just because the call function doesnt work
Regards
Stefan Rastocky
I thought HK was 201 and 206 CN
Are you positive the CN firmware has the same problem as the HK/EU/RU?
And reboot a few time after updating before considering failure" , when i've updated my 201 to 5.0 it took 2 reboots for the mobile network to "get going"
hi, thanks for your answer
Oh, thanks for the suggestion, I didnt think about rebooting. What I did was just to go to settings and try to register on a network. I will try the firmwares with rebooting tomorrow.
Should the combined EU-RU firmware (its radio part anyway) cover all the wireless signal bands in europe? In other words should I be fairly confident that if I install it, the problem, if any, will not be about radio band compatibility?
Thanks again for the reaction. I will let you know about what comes out of it.
By the way is this a forum about yotaphone 2? Since there is a yotaphone 1 picture and description on the title page.

there is no specific yatophone2 forum , I have a "real" 201 but AFAIK the 206 is CN (china) en you need to china drivers in a EU / RU firmware,
frequencies of both models: https://www.frequencycheck.com/compare-devices/qkjseR/yota-yotaphone-2-yd201/yota-yotaphone-2-yd206
(cannot be changed AFAIK by any firmware update)
freq used in your country/carrier https://willmyphonework.net/
Hi, thank you for the answer. According to the last url you provided I should be able to use a network here. FIY:
https : / / www . frequencycheck . com / compatibility / Zlrtl0 / yota-yotaphone-2-yd201 / slovakia
But I am just not. I have also run out of different radio firmwares to try, so I dont really know what to do now.
Could it be that the phone is somehow locked from connecting to the networks?
Thanks
