Hello everyone!
I have a Moto E XT1524 that I have bought in the UK. Works no problem on LTE on Three network. Phone was bought unlocked from retail.
I am now in Mexico, and while I expected LTE to not be working, I am unable to even connect to 2/3G. I can see the network, but it has a blue lock next to it and once I try to connect, it says <<Unable to connect to this network>>. Attached screenshot.
I have tried pretty much everything I could think of..
_ reinstall back the stock firmware
_ install XT1527 modem
_ played around with a manual network switcher app.
the SIM I am using is Nextel which uses AT&T network. I just want to connect to the network, any help is much appreciated
FYI
3G/LTE bands in mexico
bands supported by the different Moto E models
Definitely won't be getting 3G, as the XT1524 only has HSPA 900/2100, which are not used in Mexico.
Have you tried forcing GSM/EDGE-only mode?

Hi everybody.
I purchased a unlocked gsm optimus t (t-mobile) in USA last week. Well, in my country we have a 850/1900 wcdma band (it seems the same at USA), but, i can´t conect to 3G network.
Searching for the phone specs, i find it the optimus t work in 1700/2100 network, it´s that correct??. If the answer is yes, it is possible to change wcdma frequency in this phone??.
Thanks for you help.
Pd: I read if i install a correct firmware for my country (Chile) is possible to change it.
I don't think so. There are 2 versions of the phone. I've bought mine in Chile, and no matter what ROM I use, I still can connect to the 3G network.
However, I think you should keep your phone and wait for Nextel or VTR networks to become operational, which will work on those bands.
You should see those 3G networks doing a network search on your mobile.

Hi, i have a Moto E 2015 XT 1524, one friend bought it in Spain, but I live in Argentina and the bands are different, in Spain 3g works in 2100/900. In argentina 850/1900, so my movil only works in 2g... the question is if I flashing a new base band.... the 3g will be work?
Sorry for my bad english...
From what I understand, all Moto E models support at least 3G and some 4G. This is at the hardware level. Now your baseband is a firmware thing which will allow your device to communicate with phone towers in your region. So unless your firmware supports two or more bands, you most certainly will need to flash a new stock ROM for the region and service provider as needed.
To answer your question... If the new region you are flashing a new ROM for supports 3G, then yes you should get a 3G signal. If the signal is weak, then it may receive as 2G strength.
I am in the US where every service is at least 3G capable. So every smart phone is also 3G capable. But even still on my 4G version of Moto E I sometimes get a 2G signal. So it's hard to answer yes or no.
If you flash a ROM for Spain and get no signal, you have flashed the wrong ROM. If you flash a ROM and get 2G, then perhaps you are in a bad area with low reception.
In theory, you should receive the same signal as the people around you-Give or take a bar.
If 4G is supported in the area you want to move to and your device supports it as well, then you may very well get that signal too.
Does this help to explain it?
Thanks for your answer... In your opinion... If I flash a new stock ROM the 3g will be works? My model isn't released in Argentina yet... If I flash a firmware from UE my phone will be work?
Only if 3G is supported by the carrier in the region you wish to be. And assuming that the carrier is capable with the ROM you flash. Sometimes cross threading ROMs to a new service works. It all depends.
Thanks for your responses, the technical service told me: Bands Red 2G GSM / GPRS / EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
Red 3G bands UMTS / HSDPA / HSPA + 850/1700/1900/2100.
So I guess it will work if I change my stock rom. What I need is the XT1527 RM, is the United States and works in Argentina. How do I download it? ... And most importantly ... can I put this rom in my phone although the model is another? ...
Please... I need the xt1527 base band... Someone can help me???
Reflash a compatible stock ROM from the following link to fix your base band:

XT1527 is in this list

Hello!
I had a simillar problem with the XT1524. I also live in Argentina.
The XT model is international, so at a hardware level you have all the bands, but it is limited by the software.
The solution is (tranks to JasonPro11=:
1. Download "4G LTE Switch" from PlayStore
2. Run the app (does not require special permissions).
3. Go to "Set preferred network type” and choose LTE/GSM.
4. In the upper corner go to "Set Radio Band" and choose "USA Band".
5. Restart and enjoy LTE and 3G in Argentina...
I´ve also published this post in Grupo Android (spanish version).

Hi!
I have the Verizon Moto E 2015 XT1528 here in the Philippines.
I had the GSM working by changing Network Type to "LTE/GSM Auto".
Unfortunately LTE wasn't working because LTE bands in the Philippines are not activated in the XT1528.
While I was looking for how to activate the bands, I stupidly set the radio to USA Band. After that I lost the GSM signal even if network type is LTE/GSM.
From reading in various forums, it seems that I would have to flash the unit to the original firmware.
However, I cannot find a copy of the stock firmware of the XT1528 and at the same time I also read that the XT1528 cannot have the bootloader unlocked.
Can anybody help me as to how to proceed to restore the GSM signal?
Thanks.
hey bro, this is somewhat off topic, but My sister is going to the philippines and she bought this phone to use it there, Does it get any phone signal at all? no need for Data. she just needs to use it for calls/texts. I have unlocked it already via the instruction on the general thread.
Yes. It will get a GSM signal. Also can get EDGE data. No 3G or LTE though
I've used the Network app (looks like a phone) to switch bands back and forth. Give it a try.
Hello,
Last month my dad gave me as a gift a LG L70 bought from the US. I live in Romania and It was locked on MetroPCS, but I went to a local shop here in Romania and managed to unlock it. It works very nice and smooth, with one single problem: I can't manage to get the 3G/4G network to work on it. Everytime I open up the mobile data connection it remain stuck on 2G (showing E). Any ideas how I can get this to work?
The frequencies for the 3G network here in Romania, for my carrier are: 2100 and 900, but 900 is also used for the 2G network. The phone supports 900 Mhz and also the frequency for 4G, but both the 3G and the 4G won't work.
Many thanks!
Hi,
I recently purchased a XT1527 - AT&T go phone and it was working well in USA as I got 4G signals all over.
I am now back to India using Idea network, the phone gives me only 2g network
I even tried *#*#4636#*#* and set the preferred network to
a) WCDMA only - couldn't find any network
b) LTE only - gives me only 2G
c)LTE/WCDMA - got only 2g
I also don't see the preferred network options under
Settings->wirless and networks->more option
how to resolve this issue?
Att model may not have the radio bands you need to get anything higher than 2g. Sounds like your issue with me.

The North American models only have the 3G/4G bands for North American networks. You'll only get 2G internationally.
