If there is already a thread for this then sorry but i couldnt find any....
Was wondering if anyone has tried using it or is using it.reason asking is because im having a radio issue with it.it connects to 3g at first then i either wind up losing data connection or losing signal alltogether even tho im in a full signal area.It really does this when coming off wifi.
I have tried using airplane mode and that seems to help to a point but most of the time i wind up having to reboot it inorder to get my signal and data back.Is anyone else having this issue or ran it and had the issue? is there a fix for it or something i need to do on my end to stop this?
I am currently using J.Y.Daddy's GSM patched CM9 (17/05/12 build). I personally have not had any issues regarding the radio, and my connectivity for both 3g and wifi has been fine.
I think this is a fairly common problem for some people, so perhaps you can try asking in this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1552166
I think we should get as much info as we can about all handsets that have this problem, then keep an eye out for any commmon elements that could be the cause.
I am using a XT910 (Asia.retail stock rom on purchase...unsure as to HK region or other as I lost that nandroid backup after a corrupt drive), I have updated my fastboot file to the most recent Asia.retail I could find (the non HK one from memory), and I live in Australia (in case that matters).
Which fastboot are you using, and GSM or CDMA?
Hope I can help.
Im using cdma....stock rooted verizon with bootsrap touch....

Hmm, ok, as we do not have the XT912 in my country, I may not actually be the best for advice here.
I have a feeling that the majority of the radio issues are with the CDMA phones. If you are on stock rooted, then I think it is safe to say that the fastboot files won't be the issue here. Where abouts did you get your copy of CM9? Is it from the site itself, or here on the forums?
Only other thing I can think of is that I think I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the razr bootstrapper app was causing some problems with some users.
Have you heard of/tried using SafeStrap as an alternative? IIRC it is another version of a reboot recovery which is exclusive to the Verizon XT912 and many people who reported issues after flashing roms with bootstrap did not encounter the same errors with SafeStrap.
When I get home from TAFE I will try to find the links where I got this information from and provide some more help! CM9 is a fantastic rom which I cannot recommend enough, so let's try and figure this out!
Yes i have originally used safe strap v1.9..i have the same problem with aokp.ive wiped 4 times before install n still same problem.
Could it be not wiping enough or right places cause when i had my sgII there was a custom wipe zip inorder to properly wipe the areas needed.they had said cwm had caused issues while using factory wipe data/cache...
Alot of people didnt know cm9 was even avalible.i love cm9 personally.have used it since my hd2 days...i know there is a patch to make cdma roms on gsm i wonder if there would be able to have a patch for gsm to cdma?
I have installed from stock rooted, eclipse,black ice....have tried everything i know of....miss my cm9

Im having the most annoying problems with my photon
all used to work well, signal bars were great.
then one day i had a fail to boot message, so i flashed this SBF
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202666
And nothings been the same. It seems my radio/baseband is messed up
I have it set to GSM Only as usual
but every now and then it just loses signal ( i think when it switches towers) and wont come back till i reset it. and other times itll switch to 'Automatic' and think its a CDMA phone.
And the most annoying part is most of the time ill have 'signal' but little do i know no text messages are getting to me. and no phone calls. and if i try a phone call it hangs up a second in. These problems are all intermittent, itll suddenly just work after time, then stop after time. I thought it was my SIM Card but all is functional 100% in a different phone. I hope i dont have a sudden hardware problem in the phone itself.
I tried flashing to old SBFs, factory resetting nothing works
Ofcourse I skip the handset activation at the beginning as im in canada (GSM) and i cant seem to 'factory reset' the radio or use any of those codes because im in Canada and it asks for a passcode that i dont have
if ANYONE knows nething i can do pelase help, because its looking like i have to ditch the photon
I flashed my phone with that too, but no network problem after that.
I guess you have tried already to flash again. I'm also on gsm only.

im thinking my phones radio is physically crapping out.. ah.
Perhaps that SBF borks GSM usage? Have you tried one of the very first SBF's that have been put out?
i tried 154_5, and 198_6, not sure if they are 'official', but both have this problem.
do u know of any other ones, or of some factory rom
id try those deblurred custom roms, but they have this wierd bug of not showing signal bars with GSM, aka no matter how good my signal is, the signal bar will always show 0 in those roms
I have been searching for crazy for the past week becuase i have had the same issue.
UMTS 3G radio stopped working, but i have not been able to find any 154 sbf files to flash.
I have to keep GSM mode only, and my battery life is terrible. Battery dies after 7 hours with NO usage. The only thing i have not tried, after flashing all kinds of software, is doing a nandroid backup on another Photon and flashing it on my phone. Will try it right now ad report back.
thats a good idea, especially if the nandroid u take is from a STOCK completely untouched Photon, i just wanna go back to how it was when i first got it
let me know how it works out! so we can upload it
i have the 154 sbf if u wanna try it:
http://www.multiupload.com/FNZKNV0T3G
ps: try flashing a rom from the dev section like that 'Home Base' one, i will try later
THANK YOU! I have been trying like crazy to find the 154 one. Im flashing the nandroid backup, but im doing it over the advanced settings, sine the /boot folder is giving me an error while checking "MD5 sums". It says error while flashing boot image. All other folders restore ok. I´ll post back.
ps. I´ve flashed HomeBase and Alien rom and apparently they do not touch the basebands.
considering that sbf that broke it for me is an official sprint update, it means sprint/motorola messed it up, knowingly or unknowingly, should we make it clear to them (to matt on those moto forums). not many users probably use gsm w sprint/photon so the problem isnt wide spread
i think the one that was working for me was soemthing even before 154, i cant remember if i updated my photon once, 194 is the third OTA right?
Im not very sure, but i work for Sprint, so i´ll check it out tomorrow and let you know.
Anyways, my friend with the Photon, the one i used for a nandroid backup does not have any issues connecting to 3G Gsm networks. It is very odd indeed.
[Edit] My friend´s Photon and mine do not have the same baseband version after the nandroid backup, so i guess it doesnt touch it. We need to figure out a way to get the sbf for the baseband,
whats ur baseband version?
ill check mine
if u work for sprint thats a bonus, dig around tomorrow!
my baseband is n_01.28.05s.fk i am currently doing an OTA update that has been ongoing for a week. im still only at 23%. so there may be a newer version.

Hi,
I have a major issue with my WiFi and reboots.
Background: I am using an ATT phone within the UK on T-Mobile network.
Randomely, the other day, the WiFi turned off and when I turned it back on, it says Error....
I have tried everything I can think of; wiping and reinstalling rom, erasing everything in fastboot, updating the radio (further question on that) and also kernels! Finally I tried FruitCake to get back to stock, still no luck!!
Radio: Are radio's carrier specific, i.e. could I flash a radio meant for Europe to replace the ATT one? (I am on .36)
What can I do now, please. Thanks

If it helps, i accidentally formatted the PDS partition a while back and the reason for reboot is AP KERNEL PANIC
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I am having similar problems. Just last night my phone started rebooting frequently after having turl's v8 build of cm9 for probably a week and it was working great. However, now I have tried wiping everything, putting on different cm7 or cm9 builds and what I have come to the conclusion is anytime I turn the WiFi on, it reboots.
It is not even connecting to anything, just turning it on makes it reboot. I was on the .36 radio with this issue, I tried using the .37P radio and it did not fix it.
Does anyone have any other ideas to try and fix?
Benny,
Do you get the option to turn it on? I'm on cm9 and it'll show up like the attached after it reboots.
No. I dont have that screen. It just says wifi error and Bluetooth crashes as well....

From the other threads I have read, I think we are boned. It seems like the Broadcom WiFi/Bluetooth chipset is borked and the only fix other people have gotten is through an actual repair. I hope you are under warranty - I'm going to revert to stock and hope they accept it.

But, how come whenever I flash a new rom, the WiFi will work temporarily, i.e. it would connect, obtain IP etc for a few minutes then just not work until I reflash?
Surely that is not hardware?

Did you use Titanium Backup, and restore apps like Maps, Music, and YouTube? People are saying this can cause issues.
Also did you restore call logs after flashing? I experienced my wifi and mobile networking dying after doing that on only some of the new roms out there lately. It's a bug with one of the base roms, that a lot of custom roms are based off of. It was fixed with a new base rom version, but some of the custom roms have yet to officially update. Updates are under way though. Try out Morrison's 0.7 and see if you get the same result. It's been updated.
Although, you could be having a completely different issue. If you mean you can just leave it running after flashing and the wifi dies, I don't know what to say.

Tried all of the above and still nothing unfortunately. Just want to update on symptoms of the phone if that helps:
Everything eventually gets more and more buggy, even recovery is really laggy and slow
Data will stop after a few days use, and only fix that i know of is to reflash
WiFi does not work, it connects for about 30 seconds after a reflash, but then nothing.
Logcat says - Failed to Load WiFi Driver (after reporting WiFi HUNG)
The phone can crash when I plug in the MicroUSB to charge, when it restarts it says AP KERNEL PANIC.
I have tried everything except for flashing via RSD lite, do you think that could work?
Thanks
BUMP,
Any help at all with this unique situation would be very helpful.
Thanks
Hi,
I have an Atrix4g international (Uk retail) which is rooted and unlocked. Until about a week ago I had been running Aura ROM with a days 1.45 kernel. This was all good but I experienced some 3g data problems.
In the end I got fed up of not being able to download pictures when I received an mms and decided to flash back to my original rom. Once done I thought maybe the over clock 1.45 kernel would work with the stock ROM. It didn't and failed but I then noticed my wifi showed error where it usually said connected.
I reflashed my stock room from my recovery backup and it started working ok again. Both times I flashed my recovery it said error with recovery but the phone details read as it did before when it had the original ROM as it was bought.
Since doing I this I have noticed my phone being really laggy.... I also noticein advanced task killer that I never seek to have more than 80mb free ram.
I checked this against task manager and titanium backup and they seem to agree with the figures tb actually said I was using 100% at one point.
I even tried a factory reset fearing the hard brick stories.
I have wiped the davlik and cache and perfomed a factory wipe from recovery mode
Looks like I have a problem..
Anyone got any ideas on how to rectify this.... Is it likely to be anything to do with partitioning???
You atrix geniuses out there are my last hope so I thank you in advance for any wisdom.
Are you using the stock Gingerbread ROM from your carrier? If so, it sounds like you might need to flash a kernel that has the international RAM fix. Try downloading and flashing this if you're on stock Gingerbread.
http://faux.androidro.ms/Atrix-GB-Kernel-024r-ext4-1.00GHz.zip
That's the 1Ghz kernel made by faux123 for Gingerbread ROMs. After you flash that check to see that you have more RAM available.

You absolute diamond!
Thank you so much.... Perfect fix 556mb ram free and phones running as fast as a priest being chased out of the playground.
You guys on here give priceless advice (most of the time so glad peeps like you take the time to help peeps like me...
Magic!
I'm sorry but I saw the title and just heard this in my head....
Lag city chick, lag lag city chick.... (Tyga - Rack city... stupid song)
Don't ask.
Glad to see you've solved your problem though
Knock on effect??!!
Although I now have many many more rams than an Afghani goat hearder this process has thrown up another problem. The same error message is showing up where it usually says connected under wiring settings and wiring will not activate or connect.
Yes I was trying to flash back to my stock rom (via cm rom manager-reboot into recovery-restore.....)
Ok so the story continues...
after receiving your advice I flashed the file you linked to. And as I reported ram was up dramatically but then when I tried to connect to wifi it wouldn't. I went to settings -wireless settings- checked wiring on check box to turn it on and underneath in grey writing it threw up the message "error" where it usually says "connecting..." or "connected" etc
I went back through cmrm to recovery mode and did the wipe data-wipe cache-restore rom again but did not reflash the file you linked... checked wifi and worked but ram had gone again.
Went back into clement and went through whole process in one. Ie factory data wipe-wipe cache-restored ROM-flashed file you linked to....
Set up phone again checked wifi and still shows error. But my rams are back...
???? Puzzled!
Dont suppose you have an idea whats going on?

Thats strange cos thats what I was thinking when I wrote it... lol
Problems not yet entirely solved though..... :-(
Desperation is now setting in
Just an update... and help to solve this is really appreciated.
I have trawled the site and others regarding wifi error.
People seem to suggest its a number of things either hardware or software flashing kernels roms radios wifi fix zips etc etc
I can confirm my problem is not hardware.
I flashed back to aura and wifi function is back. And rams up to normal.....
but I have the original problem I cannot send or download pictures when received via mms.
Is there a fix for this?
I assume not and so therefore would like to ask the question does anyone know of a Stock ATRIX international (uk) retail Rom that is compattable with an ATRIX international (uk) retail phone that has been rooted and unlocked.
For some reason my recovery must be corrupt and is giving me jip.
Maybe someone knows why my recovery isn't working and knows how to fix it?
Thanks all in advance...
When I had the problem with wifi reporting just "error", I fixed it by just redownloading the kernel and reflashing it. Maybe try another recovery if that doesn't work, but I don't know why it wouldn't. :|
The wifi problem is most likely the kernel. Since you are on Aura now though with no data or MMS I would recommend changing your APN settings. Try googling the correct APNs for your carrier and changing them under Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names.

Why dont you try Nottachtrix if you want a blur based rom, or Neutrino for a cm7 based rom?
What recovery are you using? If you arent using Romracers recovery, try flashing his and seeing if his recovery fixes your problem.
Hi all
I dont know why / how but my cell radio suddenly went off and wont turn back on.
I am rooted BL unlocked on Nottachtrix 1.3.1 ROM.
I am also SIM unlocked and I live in India. I have the AT&T atrix.
What might have caused the issue
I was messing around in *#*#4636#*#* with the radio band.
I had this signal boosting app which I use but cant find it on the market to link it now. I 've been using this app for a while so dont know why it would mess up now.
I am not sure if these are what caused the issue but just letting u know
Things I have done so far
Battery pull
Different sim card / different network
I tried flashing the ROM again with full wipe but still no luck
Flashed CM7 Ba2tf and the problem persists.. can I rule out that it is software related?
Everything else is working fine.
I am out of ideas and help is very much appreciated.
Thanks
SOLUTION
The Easiest Fix for this issue is Flashing the right baseband in CWM recovery.
The radio is flashed separately from the Android os. Try a new baseband. However be sure to get the right one for your phone.

Issue solved. I 'll detail what I did so it can help others.
Yes. Selecting the USA Band is what caused the issue.
I dint know that basebands could be flashed on Atrix ROMs. I wish I 've known it sooner. Would 've saved me a lot of trouble. Anyway I went with the SBF method.
I had the 4.5.91 earlier but I went with 4.5.141 to be safe.
Everything went smooth but at the end RSD lite said "Please manually reboot this phone" and the phone went into a boot loop at the M logo. I looked around and after a while found that a Wipe fixes it in stock recovery.
1. Disconnected the phone
2. Pulled out the battery.
3. Rebooted and went into stock recovery.
4. Wiped data and rebooted.
5. Got to home screen fine. Rebooted once again to make sure everything is fine.
Then inserted sim card and I had a signal. Everthing is working great.
Bro i have solution.... Btw... You must have flashed the wrong rom.... Kindly download nd install other one ..or use custom cm14 ROM or miui for best experience..
I’m a previously proud owner of a Droid Razr Maxx - xt912 CDMA version.
I followed Matt’s instructions on flashing the December JB leak with root. It worked great since January until recently…I’m not sure what happened but I lost the LTE part of my Baseband. Now I have can’t get 4G. I tried following someone’s instructions which included using RSD to flash an older ROM (was supposed to correct my baseband). …ended up bricking my Razr. I managed to restore to stock JB using matt’s “batman” utility using option 1….still missing LTE in my baseband.
I don’t even care about being rooted anymore, though it would be nice. I am just trying to restore my 4G. I live and work close to Boston and have always had strong 4G connectivity.
Steps taken
Did the *#*#4636#*#* and made sure my preferred network type is set to LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA
In My Mobile Network Settings I made sure my preferred network mode is set to LTE/CDMA
I did the *228 and *22899 and received on screen confirmation
I’m leading towards it not being setting related but the fact that I am missing the LTE portion of my radio as shown in my phone baseband version info below, however, I have not found a way to get the LTE back on the phone.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Current phone info:
System version
98.72.16.xt912

4.1.2

I have the same issue. Has anyone fixed the problem?
maybe try to flash a different 4.1.2
so you attempted to root it didnt work and knocked out your 4g? that sucks , did you try a factory reset ? maybe try to get another stock rom to run instead of matts? maybe thats part of it
any way i hope you get it working cheers.
