Hi all
I have P768 and i'm having an issue with radio. I flashed JB from South Africa, everything works great.. at least in begining. Randomly my phone stops receiving calls, text messages, data connection.. It's like my phone became an ipod
So, i assume the problem is my radio, i tried flashing back to ICS to see if baseband in phone's seetings became different, but unfortunatelly for me, it is not changing. I offline flashed euro 20b, ics, but my baseband is not changing (System settings > About phone > Software information > Baseband version > L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1230.00)
I want found a radio.zip in carlos thread, but it is for P769. I dont want to flash that because i can lost radio permanently, since my phone is not changing that in offline flash.
I'm wondering where can i get those files, i have JB P768 kdz, can i extract the radio file from that and flash it via CWM into my phone?
I already tried switching radio file (LGP768.fls or something i don't remember now), but it dont change either.
I think the only way is with CWM i don't know, but if someone could help me, it'll be much apreciated
Hi shucrut,
To this date, the only method to change radio (baseband) of L9 is through KDZ flashing (online or offline, whatever).
If you flashed KDZ and think the baseband has not changed, what is happening is simple: the info in System settings > About phone > Software information > Baseband version doesn't change, well, at least in several versions of KDZ (ICS or JB) I flashed, the Baseband info was the same.
But, there is a best place to check baseband version: in Hidden Menu > Version Info > Factory Version.
If you flashed a KDZ changing the baseband (*.fls) you will see, Factory Version reflects the baseband.
For example, if you used a KDZ of V20B Australia changing the baseband by LGP768.fls of V10B Claro Brazil, you will see: LGP768fAT-00-V10b-724-05-AUG-26-2013 regardless of the version of KDZ.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for repplying. The thing is that for Brazil they not updated P768 to JellyBean, so i'm on the way to flash JB on this, because ICS is too much slow in many situations..
I will try to explain what is hapening and if you could, please, help me figure this out.
My network provider is Oi, it operates in frequency 1900MHz for 2G and 2100MHz for 3G. Another networks here uses different frequencies, one is not compatible with another, so the phones here need to be quad band (850, 900, 1800, 1900), 3G (850, 1900, 2100)
So i flashed already many roms and can tell some experiences i had:
- MEXICO JB: Everything working normal, except for 3G: I think LG disabled the 3g working in 2100MHz on mexico roms, so i have not 3g
- SOUTH AFRICA JB: Everything works, including 3G . The strange thing is that after a day using it without rebooting the phone, i simple lost carier signal, so i cannot receive/send messages or calls. In this state, my phone shows me i do have signal, but nothing works.
--- I tried switching the radio.fls from many roms to see if this problem disappear, like Brazil's ICS radio, mexico radio, europe, p769 v21 radio.. The problem persists after every test
--- Strange thing is that sometimes took me a day to lost signal, but sometimes took me less than 2 hours
- VIETNAM JB: same as SOUTH AFRICA
- EMIRATED ARAB JB: same as SOUTH AFRICA
So this is my situation, i'm stucked with a locked bootloader and ICS due to this carrier's signal problem..
I dont know if LG disabled something in these roms that dont use some frequencies.. After some search, i found this:
http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html
looks like some countries do use 2100MHZ for 3g, but still gives me that problem. I don't know what else i can do
Sorry for late reply, I've been busy the last days.
So, did you flash a KDZ (Mexico, South Africa, Vietnam, etc.) switching the baseband in the middle of the flashing, right?
And the version of the baseband is showing in Hidden Menu > Version Info > Factory Version?
Did you make another modifications (like changing rild or lge-ril.so)?
I also tested several JB versions (Mexico, Australia, Open Europe, etc.) with the ICS Claro Brazil baseband and didn't notice any abnormal behavior (radio related, of course; the roms have their own bugs:silly.
But maybe the difference is in the methodology. When "nothing works", if you switch (off-on) Airplane mode, makes any difference? Signal strength is showing in status bar? After reboot, the phone returns to normal?
I will try the same versions (Vietnam and Emirated Arab I have not yet experienced!), but now my bootloader is unlocked, and my provider is Claro BR.

Ok folks..Unlocked/unbranded u20i...upgraded to UK generic and now I cant get any 3G or H...any ideas??
most of us that upgraded with wrong FW had this issue, me too. Reflashed with right FW and problems disappered.
Who is your carrier and what did FW did you flash?
update your apn info?
yup everything is there.
Build.prop states states my SEMC is 1238-0199 I updated with World Generic 2.0.A.0.504 for u20i. On the back of phone my SI is 1238-9106.
This happened to me when I first updated to 2.1
Then I found Settings > Sony Ericsson > Settings Download
After that finished H started popping up.
I have the same problem, going from the Orange branded Rom to the UK generic Rom found using flashtool and now not having 3g, and not finding any WCDMA signal at all. I tried the settings download help but it didn't yield anthing. After clicking on "update settings" then the Network porvider, is there supposed to be any type of message stating whether or not getting the settings was successful?
I have that problem, too. On my house which is surrounded by lots of buildings, I have to manually set "GSM Only" in my network preferences. Otherwise, sometimes it gets 3G but most of the time it doesn't get signal at all (not even for calls/SMS).
When I'm on the go, I can safely choose "Prefer WCDMA" instead.
So basically what has happened is I have flashed my phone back to stock firmware from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012938&highlight=2+1+1+a+0+6) (because I bricked it, and now it no longer lets me connect to the Network(Telecom XT NZ))
Why does it not let me connect to the network anymore. Other Networks still do work though (2Degrees, Vodafone).
Is there a way to fix this(unlock, without having to pay)?
And also if I was to do the code thing, could I install custom firmware (eg. MiniCM7) and then use codes?
EDIT:
It seems that the phone can simply no longer connect to 850mhz frequencys (which is what XT use). XT also use 2100mhz which I can connect to but is very limited.
I don't know if this means it is locked. But the XT sim card does work in some places where the 2100mhz frequency broadcasts. So maybe not a SIM lock.
Exactly what it says at the moment is "No service. Selected Network (Telecom NZ) unavailble"
The phone I think should still work somehow shouldn't it since it was already unlocked when bought and after flashing the firmware it no longer does.
EDIT 2:
After reading this:
http://www.ben.geek.nz/2009/06/a-question-which-phones-can-i-use-on-xt-and-vodafone/
Somehow I have changed the phone from a 850/2100 phone to a 900/2100 all through a flash of a UK Firmware 2.1.1.A.0.6. If this is true, then should I be able to find a firmware to flash it back to 850/2100 phone?
EDIT 3:
Starting to figure this out.
My idea is the phone was originally a U20a and I flashed a U20i firmware !!
Downloading U20a firmware now.. I think this should work !
EDIT 4:
Using the AUS U20a firmware from..
Check my post here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=777660&page=5
The phone perfectly now !!.
Thanks for the help guys :L
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 and I flashed a Stock 2.3.5 Rom to my phone because I screwed up flashing a previous Rom. The Rom I flashed appears to be defaulted to Poland, I managed to change the language, but for some reason I can't get any Cell reception, I am unable to send texts or make phone calls. I checked the CSC and it is: XEO - Poland (Plus, Era, Heyah, Orange, Play). I don't know much about phones but this appears to be an issue since I don't live anywhere near Poland.
I have a Telus Sim card but it appears as if my phone can't connect to their network. Additionally, before flashing this Rom I was pretty sure that my only option in Network Operators was Telus, but now I have Telus and CAN Rogers Mobile INC. When I attempt to select Telus from this list it says "Registering on TELUS..." for around 2-3 minutes then says "Unable to connect to network, try again"
I live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
When I go to About Phone>Status it says..
Network: Unknown
Mobile Network Type: UMTS
Service State: Out of Service
Roaming: Not roaming(although this appears to switch on and off, despite me being well within Telus coverage.)
Mobile Network State: Disconnected
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: S5830XWKS2
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL654989
[email protected] #1
Build number: Gingerbread.XWKS9
Do I have to install a Telus Canadian version of the stock firmware for 2.3.5 or could I possibly install stock firmware for 2.3.4 and update it through kies to get the appropriate CSC?(My phone is able to connect to Samsung kies)
I don't care if my phone has 2.3.4 or 2.3.5, either one would be fine with me.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated, ask me any and all questions.
MAJOR EDIT
I put *#7465625# into my phone to check the Network Lock and Sim Lock's and it turns out
Network Lock [ON]
Network Subset Lock [OFF]
SP Lock [ON]
CP Lock [ON]
Does this mean that I can't connect to to the network because there is a lock on it? If this is right I assume I need to go to Telus and have them unlock it, right?
Edit: I phoned *#2263# to get into a frequency selection screen and I selected: WCDMA Band Preference>WCDMA 850
Telus runs on 850/1900, I have the option to choose 1900, and the option to choose all(850/900/1800/1900/2100), there's also an option to choose "Automatic", should I stick with running 850, or risk running automatic and have it randomly jump around for unknown reasons? I know 850 will work in most areas I go, so it wouldn't be a serious drawback.
I think it's best to use the Telus firmware.....
Herpderp Defy.
I'm not entirely certain, but I don't think Telus has any official Firmware that the public has access to. If you have found any that would be appreciated, but as far as I'm aware, companies don't put that kind of thing out into the general public.
On Telusmobilitys site if you go to the section to update software I can see Samsung Galaxy Ace on the list but it says 2.3.4 and there are no available updates, which means I can't update it through that method.
Is the CSC being different an issue or just a small annoyance?

I'm a Singaporean but my Ace is set to XSR (or XER I forgot)

I don't think I clarified this in the op, there is only one option in the CSC list, which is XEO, Poland, I presume I need a Telus CSC, however, using the list found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=787163
I can't find one that would work for a Telus phone.
Edit: My phones Network is now connected to "TELUS" and Service State is "In Service" but I still have to send messages 3-4 times before they finally say sent, sometimes taking up to 3 minutes to send a simple message.
If anyone knows any way to fix this I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi Guys,
2 months ago I bought a Samsung s5 in Hong Kong.
While travelling through South East Asia this device worked fine.
While traveling through New Zealand (Old home) this phone worked fine.
While traveling through America (New Home) this phone worked fine for the first 2 weeks (on the metroPCS network).
The problem:
Randomly after 2 weeks the s5 stopped connecting to the metroPCS mobile network even though the network was available (btw metroPCS uses the T-Mobile network). It gives errors such as network not available or cannot register with network.
Things I have tried:
-Im sure the APN settings of the phone have not changed and I have double checked to see if they are correct.
-replacing the sim card with another does not fix the issue
-soft and hard reset of the phone does not fix the issue
-Getting metroPCS to refresh the service on this number does not fix the issue
Other important info:
-This phone was purchased in hong kong but it is from the Philippians according to Kies's firmware information (XTC is the country code)
-It is running a custom allianceROM that must have been installed by someone in hongkong
-The device is rooted (superuser app installed)
-the model number as shown in settings is g900f BUT when attempting to flash with odin the phone displays g900t and fails to flash the latest Philippians verison of kit-kat
I have 2 questions:
1. Any ideas why my network connection has suddenly self destructed (and how to fix)?
2. Would flashing a stock ROM to my s5 help? and if so why is there conflicting information on which model I own (g900t/g900f)?
Please help. I do have some know how on flashing android devices but i've really hit the wall on this one guys!
Cheers,
Yetti.:cyclops:
It's not uncommon for the model # to be different with a custom rom as that is a very easy thing to edit in the build.prop. It should tell you under the battery which one it is. As far as the network issues, check to see if the baseband and IMEI are still there and not listed as unknown or incorrectly. It's possible you could get away with flashing the appropriate modem that matches with your update and that might work better in this region vs the previous one.
Please list the Alliance rom version and baseband version here in case it's relevant to your issue.
More info
Im not sure if this helps but looking through the build.prop file in the system folder my ro.product.local.region=GB
When in recovery mode the region is set to XTC (Philippians) using mutli-csc.
Also my IMEI number seems ok and is NOT blocked.
Cheers. Yetti :cyclops:
Baseband and rom etc
Thankls for your reply!
Sorry when you say "under the battery symbol" do you mean in /odins boot script on the device/ or /in settings on the phone/?
Baseband is g900TUVU1ANCH
Build Num: AllianceROM_G900F_XXU1ANCF
If the "no network" issue can be solved with the current firmware that would be the most desirable solution but going through the flashing process may be a good idea for my learning process, and will help with future updates.
Do you think getting back to a stock rom would help me?
tHANKS AGAIN!:cyclops:
Model confirmed to be g900t
Sorry i didn't understand the "under the battery" thing. I was lost in software world. The sticker under the physical battery says SM-900T so i guess that confirms that it is a t-moble verison (and the baseband is therefore correct).
I will try to flash the T-Mobile stock image to the phone and see if that works.
Also i will try to flash a modem (after i work out which one i need).
Cheers, Yetti :cyclops:
Current status.
Flashed the stock T-Mobile firmware to the phone. No success.
Flashed new modem to the phone. No success.
Will go to the T-Mobile store tomorrow to see if they can help (I doubt it but i have to exhaust all the options).
Any more help would be appreciated...
cheers, yetti:cyclops:
By under the battery I mean like to take off the battery cover of the phone and pull the battery out and look at the sticker found there.
G900t.

Yep it says g900t (see above)
As per flashing a modem. I have heard that it is possible to flash any modem for any version of the s5 to the phone. Some work well and others not so much. I have tried 2 T-Mobile modems (baseband) the G900TU1ANCH and the G900TUVU1BNG3 with no success. Do you have any recommendations for a modem to try (or even a custom ROM that might help?)
Cheers,
Yetti :cyclops:
I know that you mentioned they refreshed the service for your number, but do they have the correct IMEI in the system for your account? Metro makes a big deal about that now and you can't just take your SIM from another phone and pop it in a new one and go like you can with pretty much every other service (Cricket is like this too now).
Hi,
Following a tips in an android newsblog (In France), i was visiting the *#*#4636#*#* menu.
By curiosity, I tap on the menu "Sélectionner une bande radio" (choose a baseband).
I've only a "United States" choice but after did nothing. I lose all my phone network.
Just the data work and the sms.
What can I do to this ?
I think to flash a baseband firmware but where can I find one ?
Thanks for everyone who could save my phone

Switch your radio band back to automatic? Go to *#*#4636#*#* and click the overview (3 dots) at the top right. Hit select radio band, then hit automatic. Reboot phone.
Thanks but no auto option for me :/
I've done a Factory reset but no change.

I try to put network in Only 3G or 2G and got nothing. Maybe that's why there's no call but sms and data. No VoLTE in France.
When selecting United States band (that I didn't want to do), i break the 3G and 2G connection.
Hi,
I've speak with the Motorola support in France.
In the hidden menu, i've selected the united states band so now I only received the LTE (the only which are the same than here). No 3G and no 2G.
And because We've got no VoLTE, I can't use calls.
And no method to revert this process.
Go in warranty...
Actually there should be a way, because I have the selection:
Automatic
Europe
Automatic
United States
You probably have to update to a current stock ROM so the modem firmware updates and you might be able to select a different baseband... all theory but if you still have the phone, it's worth a try.
edit: I'm using a custom ROM, so I may be wrong.
For you there is no way of using a custom ROM without having problems with warranty.
If still relevant, I made the same mistake with my stock Moto xt1650-03 and the only way managed to restore signal was by using fastboot erase modemst commands. Though I have seen people not recommending this method, it worked for me.
