So I got a Droid Pro off contract and unlocked it myself, and I'm currently using it in Kuwait on a local SIM card that has a data plan subscription. I've used this SIM on other Android devices so i confirm that 1) The data plan is OK and 2) I have the correct APN settings.
Now on my Pro I can't get any data connectivity. After much searching I decided that the problem is with the baseband, as I read on many sites that sometimes a baseband version will give better connectivity over another baseband in certain areas, and in some cases people didn't have any data connectivity at all until they updated their baseband.
So my questions are:
Can I confirm its a baseband issue? Or do I have to try to confirm?
How can I update the baseband?
Which baseband version should I use?
I'm running stock Pro with baseband n_01.53.07p, and the Select Radio band menu shows only USA Band, which clearly isn't helping!
It's not your baseband. You need to go to settings -> wireless + network settings -> mobile networks -> access point names
have the provider manually add the APN info since it's not automatically detected with this phone for some reason. had to go through the same thing here in thailand. (required phone reboot as well)
n_01.53.07p is not as stable for who uses this phone outside US as n_01.53.00R which is the original baseband version in stock rom(2.26.2).
I will not accept 2.26.60 update until the next release one.

Really? I can't recall whether I tried to establish a data connection using the pre-update version or not. I'll flash the SBF & do a factory reset and let you know.
Hi refeee2
I maybe mislead you for the baseband version issue.
I'll change the sim card of another carrier for further testing.

No problem.
I've already rolled back to 2.26.20, and still no data.
I've contacted Motorola/Verizon about this and I'm waiting for their reply.
Hi refeee2
It's sim card issue.
My carrier relaced one for me, the phone works fine with both baseband version.

Raphael,
That SIM card that you say had a problem, did you use it on any other phones?
Seeking experts' knowledge here:
Is it possible to take the baseband files off a Euro Milestone 2 and run them on the Pro? Obviously I don't need CDMA connectivity, I just need to test alternate basebands for my GSM radio. Choose the Milestone2 cause it's running on the same chipset.

Not I'm aware of. HD2 is specifically for T-Mobile and ATT is on the different band. I'm sure the phone will work fine, but I don't think you will have the full features.
But flashing any ROM and changing the APN would work I guess.
Good luck
I have an unlocked HD2 and I'm using the ROM in my sig (it's a link) I'd recommend that one, it's just superb and the chap who updates it (Tyween) is really on the ball and releases a new version every so often so that the latest updates are always available.
It's not so much the ROM that'll dictate how well your carrier will work, but the radio. Have a look around, there may be one that works especially well with AT&T
Thank you I will copy the values you have in your signature
No worries I hope you have as much enjoyment out of it as I do

Can you tell me what your internet settings are?
Hi all,
........
..
.
There are so many ROMs available, and there are two options for an HD2, SD build and NAND Build; SD implies just copy paste on a the ROM on the SD card and you are done to boot. And NAND ones are a little hard to install but good on the long run

MMS and Mobile Data configuration settings were automatically downloaded to the phone when I plugged in my AT&T SIM.

This may be a noob question but in order for me to use the HD2 on my ATT acct. Does the rom have to be an unlocked rom? Or do i have to mod a file(s) on the phone/sd card.

Nope, just install it and go. The phone does have to be sim unlocked in order to work on AT&T though. I have Rafdroid Froyo on my HD2 and it works great on AT&T.
OK i finally understood how to add nand android to the hd2 and i have tried 2 version niether of them recognize at&t as a network. I went to available settings under networks and and it gave me at&t as an option but when i selected it. the prompt Registering on at&t then it said unable to connect to this network at this time try again later
is there another setting i should be changing do i need to re enter my sim unlock code if so where do i do that

Hello,
after a succesfull rooting attempt on my motorola defy+, i seem to get next to zero signal. (root tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1595013&page=9)
Is there no single way to restore the phone to default, without all the rooting? i really regret messing with the system and i wanted it the same way i bought it.
Or atleast get a perfectly fine signal as i did before the flash.
My location is belgium, and i have no clue what baseband setting it would be or wich sbf file i need to fully restore :C
Match your base band to the network your using with this. I would have try central Europe first.
You probably had DFP231 so my best guess would be using this sbf.
Second guess will be using this one, all from here.
Thank you

I thank you allot for helping me find the right things. i reflashed everything back to stock.
However, Wich sbf file would be for belgium? it's western europe. these others work okay but the baseband doesn't seem to do well, my signal for 2g and 3g are very poor now. is there absolutely no way to fully restore back to this device's original stock? the one i bought in belgium?
and the marketplace keeps crashing on either of those SBF's.
on the phone box you should see the baseband you had when purchased, it will help if you check your carrier name and baseband.
Maybe you had the France retail version, being also a French speaking country.
If you using Mobistar than the frequency for 3G is 2100, which should work with the current sbf.
Try removing the sim card and back again. restarting once or twice. sometime it need relearning the network.
Look in setting, "About", "Status", you should see the signal strength. Good reception is in the scale 51-100dBm.
113dBm-No reception.
Here's a sticker on the box, i'm not sure wich says the baseband.
i appreciate your help.
It says your original sbf was setup to 900/2100 Wcdma and 850/900/188/1900 for GSM. Your current sbf should work just fine.
If it's not working then install the French sbf, Orange France is using the same as yours original sbf.

i use proximus, but i'm sure that's the same thing. anyway thank you again.
i did get signal on the sbf you supplied, but it always said "network unavailable"
Indeed, Proximus use the same frequencies as Mobistar.
Go to settings, Wireless and Network, Mobile networks, Operator selection, Serch network. See if you can find Proximus. If you do, click on it.

I'm glad your phone is usable again but from what you did your phone apparently can't work on 2G.

Anyway, enjoy your Defy.
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

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:

hi can anyone educate me how can this phone be used outside US , specifically in Asia with local gsm carriers .
the phone will be used there in INDIA .
any help would be appreciated.

PS : i read quite many threads , but its all about getting it to work with ATT and Tmo , bit nothing about getting it gsm unlocked internationally.
nyone ?
someone must be having some clue !!!
plz help
i think i remember something about calling vzw to have them unlock it to use any sim outside the us, but i cant remember where i read it
yeah , not possible as the phone is out of the country now
I use a XT907 in Australia. On stock rom, GSM works fine for reception but you will have to delete or freeze a service to get MMS working. I figured this out the hard way.
On CM/AOSP or anything not stock, simply flashing a GSMfix zip file located here in one the threads has worked for me always. Im currently running CM 10.1 with excellent reception and eveything works beautifully.
So YES the XT907 will work on GSM networks outside the US. It not NOT locked. Hope that helps.
No mate it seems in newer phones it is locked.
I even tried the nv zero out method, it still doesn't work, in status it shows the network name but finest latch onto the signal bars at all.
And as the phone isn't in us, it's upto the seller to talk to eruzin to get it Internationally unlocked.
sent from my NOTE II, yupp size does matter.
I called up VZN and they told me the phone is unlocked for gsm usage already
but i just am not able to get it to work on gsm outside of US
is there a way , otherwise i am gonna have to dispose it off
anyone ?

The Droid Razr M is SIM unlocked. You can verify this by going to Security>>Set Up SIM/RUIM card lock. There is prompt there to Lock you SIM card, therefore it is by default, unlocked.
Outside the US you can purchase a GSM SIM card from a local provider and pop it in your phone.

Thats correct.
But the sim lock option appears only when the 4g sim from vzn is inside.
When you insert any Other gsm sim, there is no such option and unlike other razr m phones, my phone just picks up gsm signals for a split second and then again it starts to show no signal bars.
I have tried many gsm sims, it's all the same with them, I switched the network to gsm/umts as well each time.
I have even tried the radio comm method of unlocking us gsm still it doesn't help.
I would appreciate any input.
I bought this phone as i loke it a lot.
