I recently got an unlocked AT&T Atrix off eBay. I was mucking around with the *#*#4636#*#* menu trying to fix a minor connectivity problem where I couldn't connect via UMTS, and by the chain of unfortunate events I managed to set the frequency to USA band. Now, since there is only USA band to select, I can't set it to any other band, I am in Australia and only pick up 2 other networks which are not mine.
Is there anything I can do to get it back to the unlocked state so I can find my network?
I remember with my Galaxy S, there was a recovery mode that could wipe everything, is there anything like that with the Atrix?
Thanks in advance!
I don't mean to sound asinine but can't you just do the same thing and select the correct information?
You could also do a full reset on the device or flash it too.
No, only the USA band is there, I cannot select anything else It came unlocked already so I'm not sure how they did it.
I'm hoping there is a way to fix this without resetting or flashing it.
If it comes down to it, is this the most up to date flashing guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072
Thanks again!

Select Android Recovery
Click right bottom of screen
Wipe out
Then you are all clean
If your phone is rooted, you can manually input the proper carrier information in
settings > wireless & networks > mobile networks > access point names
A quick google search or call to your provider should be able to get you the information you need to enable data
On the other hand, the AT&T Atrix doesn't support UMTS 1700/2100, so if that's the band your carriers run on, you're SOL trying to get 3G.

actually the AT&T atrix supports 850/1900/2100 UMTS bands so it does work for overseas carriers that support 2100
im actually using it right now in Hong Kong and they use the 2100 band for 3G, no problems with data at all
apparently the OTA update fixed your issue with the USA band for some people who had the problem. i think they did as follows flash to the retail sbf, than let everything stock, get the update over wifi install it and the radio worked again.

No this method doesn't work ..
I was in a similar situation 2 days ago. So, the first thing i tried was do a Android recovery. After this method failing, I went to the last stop, Flashing of the 4.1.26 SBF.
And I jumped with joy to see my Atrix seeing the GSM signal again.
I had 3G before this had happened so I know it worked on my network.
So just follow this guide and I will have my GSM signal back again?

Thanks for your help guys, can't believe such a mistake could cause such a problem :/
Flashed it back to stock, now it's working

Assuming you are using Telstra (same as me) have you used the mobile configuration page? Support the ATRIX
configure.telstra.com.au/telstra/index.jsp
It might, but requires the phone to be working first, as it SMS a password to gain access ot the site!

Correct, I should have stated it was an intended fix if he hadn't of fiddled with it (i.e. his connectivity issues) as it installs all the correct APNs and settings for you (However it does not add default,tether - just default so be sure to update it for tethering)
you should put [SOLVED] in the title so people know where to look for the same problem ;D
Howzit,
Could you show me how did you do that?
I'm new using andorid and I dont know how to do this procedure.
Thanks.
Just wondering if anyone has seen or tried to develop a baseband switcher application like the one found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203297 so the Photon can work on all US/international CDMA/GSM networks?? Out of the box it has(CDMA 850/1900-GSM 850/900/1800/1900-WCDMA 850/1900/2100-Wimax 2500).. but no 1700 T-MO..I have a Photon but no use for it since im using T-Mobile..Perhaps unlocking and a baseband switcher would enable me to use this amazing phone on any US GSM network like my Moto Defy Ive been using this app and Itfunz for international travel and im amazed how well my phone works on almost every GSM band in the US and around the globe.....Anyone?? This Phone with Root,CM7 and a "working" baseband switcher would be untouchable!!
Im on sprint so no real need for the switcher but i would love to see this come to life. I can make my brother jealous and steal his sim card.
I would love that
I am in the Dominican Republic and have not been able to find any alternative baseband versions to flash, since 3G (850 Mhz Band) stopped working a few days ago.
I´ve reflashed to stock, tried different roms and kernels, but i guess if i can swith the baseband version it might work again.
This app would be awesome, anyone tried it on the photon yet?
Any News On This?
I tryied it - doens help me.... I created activity which is switch's baseband and turn it to USA gms baseband.... I lost connection :-((( and can't repair it :-((((
please help :-((( baseband switcher says "your baseband setting are incorrect. would you like to reset it to defaults?". I answer Yes and it reboots with old settings and don't work :-(
maybe somebody knows a way to reset baseband settings?

what sbf stands for? I just bought the phone and my reason to buy it was the sim card ability I would like to use it on my trips to Mexico and I would very much love to be able to nuy a sim card from a Mex. carrier and use that way.
I believe you can. I forget the post where somebody gave the name of the sim card they used...
You may need to contact Sprint to get international use activated, I believe at no charge.

Besides the LTE do the two phones have anything else different?
Mostly interested if the addition of the LTE on the i9205 will affect its performance/battery life compared to the i9200?
I ask this because I never buy LTE phones, never used it and don't intend to for now since the networks here don't support it,
so no need for it but I cannot find the 3G i9200 anywhere in Europe to buy it. Only the LTE i9205.
If it has no performance/battery loss then I will be "forced" to buy the LTE version and be done with it.
So even if I buy the LTE version I read that it has a second cellular modem that works with normal 3G/GSM networks?
I don't wanna buy it and then discover its not working on any network here.
I will really appreciated if someone can give me an answer to my concerns. Thanks.
UPDATE: I managed to get the 3G version I wanted in first place. You can view the thread below.

The i9205 works with 2G, 3G, and 4G. Your network doesn't have to to be LTE capable for it to work.

Ninja Edit: Also another thing. Do you know if since the LTE cannot be disabled if I read correctly,
will eat up battery since it will probably be on and keep searching for LTE networks?

Hi J,
I flashed it with about 5 different firmwares using Oden still no luck. I do want it badly knowing i have a 4g phone and no 4g.
Im in Sri lanka using Dialog carrier. I got the phone from states through a friend. I have read the forum from up to down to find a solution.
I know Oden helps you upgrade it (seen on you tube) but still it does not help, I wonder if there is a problem with the software it self.
I would try any suggestions at this time.
Thanks

Amaze is compatible with frequencies:
GSM:
850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
UMTS:
850, 1700/2100, 1900, 2100 MHz
Data:
HSDPA+ (4G) 42.2 Mbit/s, UMTS, EDGE
Have you had ANY phone work on the idea network properly? Same with the airtel?
For starters, switch from WCDMA only to Auto or GSM/WCDMA.

How about ask your local service person for the correct settings, or hopefully someone on this board who lives in your area can post theirs.
Is there an OTA specific to your phone?
While not the case with you currently, it may be important if you travel--there are some areas where certain carriers don't have that coverage:

Aircel uses 900 and in some places possibly 1800. Do you have a data plan? Have you spoken with a support person with any one of your carriers--they're used to things like this and getting in the proper settings. I would strongly recommend that.
Check the Settings->About Phone to find out which version of android you have, and if you are running a custom ROM or not.
Do all of that first--make sure you have a data plan, speak with a support person, find out a little about your phone.
If you are stock check with your support person if there is an upgrade for you, also.
If you are NOT stock, you might want to go back to the Stock GB or ICS (remember to update the radio also) so your phone will be basic and stable, to be sure it will work at all with data. Once you've determined if it will work with data, then you can try one of the custom ROMs if you like, but NOT JellyBean or KitKat, as they are all problematic.

I think it should still work. The tech should be able to give you settings regardless of the device origin--you're still paying for a plan, and some support should come with that.
Nevertheless, check this to make sure you have the right settings.
You "may" also have to call T-mobile and ask for unlock code for your phone--they will ask you for the IMEI.
I don't know if necessary, but have read something to that effect--that in using the Amaze 4G in another country, you need to have the phone unlocked. I'm sure someone else on the boards here will let us know.
The back cover houses the antenna, and yes, it could be the antenna, but unless you have another back cover to test it with, it will be best for you to check the settings first, and then see if it needs to be unlocked.
Then come back here with what you've learned--it'll help me learn too.
The ad said that the phone is unlocked... I purchased it from Ebay and I have a prepaid connection with the provider.. it is "pay as you go plan" so I guess they wont provide much help as I have seen customer care people putting their hands up many times saying it is a problem with the device and they cannot help...that's y I was trying to get some help here on the forum as someone else could also have faced the same issue and can help me with their experience...

Besides the firmware update, there has been a separate radio update.
I think these are the most recent updates:
Software number is 2.14.531.30 710RD
Baseband version is 1.15.550L.08DC_30.80.550L16D
It's possible that your phone will work with them.
Does anyone else agree?

I gotta see some of the settings info, so for starters go into your settings->about phone, screenshot the page that appears and also scroll down to any new pages, and post screenshots here.
How to screenshot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1885386
After that, reboot the phone into recovery following these instructions, and screenshot the recovery screen and post it here also:
Power the phone off and wait about 10 seconds after the screen goes black to be sure it's off->hold Volume Down button, while doing so press the Power button, and release both buttons.
The phone will boot to bootloader, should say hboot up top, and have a little list below it.
If you can't screenshot it via the previous method, note if at the top of the page is says Locked or Unlocked, and if it says "S-Off" or "S-On", and note the version of hboot so you can post the info here.
Use the power down button to highlight the list item "Recovery", and then press and release the Power button to enter the recovery. After recovery loads, note if it returns to a screen just like the hboot screen, or if says in it "TWRP", "CWM", or "4EXT" or any such other thing, and screenshot that or get the info and post that here also.
Now that you've learned what sort of state the phone's in, you can reboot from whichever screen you're on, and have your phone back to normal.
Once you're back with your phone booted, you'll find a screenshots folder in gallery most likely, else you'll have to search the phone with a file manager app or google to find it, but check the gallery first.
After that we'll look for the proper update and update method for you.
Hopefully by then someone else will come along and say something like "All he needs to do is download this "Official OTA" [link included] and put it on the SD card and flash it via hboot"--hopefully, 'cause I may be making this more complicated than it needs to be.
Here, let me repeat that, "Hopefully by then someone else will come along and say something like "All he needs to do is download this "Official OTA" [link included] and put it on the SD card and flash it via hboot"--hopefully, 'cause I may be making this more complicated than it needs to be."
In bootloader, it is showing as:
Unlocked
RUBY PVT SHIP S-OFF RL
HBOOT-1.93.0003
OpenADSP-v02.6.0.226.00.0202
IN RECOVERY: Team Win Recovery Project v2.3.3.0
I have also added screenshots as attachments for the about phone setting menus.

You did a good job with that--thanks. Hey, you're in good shape--everything is new enough.
You need to Super CID your phone, and then flash a rom for one of your local (in India) carriers.
Super CID instructions:
http://unlimited.io/juopunutbear.htm
ROM for carriers:
Sorry I can't provide the link--I'm having a helluva tough time searching.
Maybe by the time you've Super Cid'ed your phone, someone else will tell us where to find a proper ICS RUU for India.
Thank you
Thank you for taking out time for helping me...can any other rom (other than the T-mobile) working... and I dont know what is RUU..lol.. I am pretty new to these terms.:laugh:

In order to use the phone in your country you need to have one of your carrier's firmware on the phone so it is compatible.
You can't put their firmware on your phone until after you've performed "Super CID". After performing that, other carrier's firmware can be flashed to the phone.
RUU restores the phone to factory condition. Let's not concern ourselves with that just yet--follow the instructions to Super CID.
Hi Guys and Girls,
After finally managing to get through the whole noobie learning how to root/backup/flash etc, I noticed later on that 4G no longer appears, checking through the network operators and network mode, non of them mention it, only 3G
This was active and working before I did the changes, so am a little puzzled. Also I noticed I was receiving text messages from Vodaphone regarding updates etc, but I receive non now.. so not sure if that's also linked?
Phone details are
C6833
4.4.2
Kernel 3.4.0 Jackie
14.3.A.0.757
Would be grateful for the support to get this back, not sure if I can simply call my network provider and ask for some sort of update to be resent?
Hello.
Watch in settings if 4G/LTE is selected or prefered.
Hi,
I used to have the option for 4G and a network from vodaphone for 4G
Now I only have the LTE preferred option
:/

I can't help you, sorry.
Maybe a problem with ROM or kernel you use.
You can change ROM, kernel, or full wipe your phone if you want te get 4G and other users can't help.

4g = lte
How come no symbols show up now to let you know what your connected to, when I selected LTE to start, at the moment I selected it, the connection broke then re-connected and LTE appeared but now it even shows? is that normal? 4G showed at all times so I know the coverage is fine.
Am just worried as this is my first android and my first experience performing the rooting and updates etc, and has been a stress lol
/rocks back and forth in the corner
