Dude, you're the best, I just flashed MIUI and thought I won't be able to get my network back. So I found your thread and it was the only last ray of hope that MIUI on my phone would catch the network and guess what? IT DID! I just changed the baseband to India it worked wonders, with no problems. I am happy as ****. :D

I believe the 1079 us the great out if those three... The 6.xx is older than that.. I always used 1079 with no worries or issues. Actually, almost pulled 6mbps download speed tests in the freeway with that radio...

MIUI 2.1.13 using European freq only 2100 MHz which is supported around CBD areas - but not in outlining suburbs etc.

Changed to International RT 850/2100 MHz - 850 is freq used outside of CBD areas.

For any other kiwis do as above if you are running MIUI custom ROM :cool:

PS - rather than having to look/trial other country's settings just make app have different frequency settings & combinations ^^

Only takes a couple of minutes to find out what freq your carrier is running ;)

Sqoerk I use tata docomo from India. I am not able to connect to 3g networks. I tried almost all choices from your tool, still no luck! :(

I deleted that system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default and used the baseband switcher from here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1203297) to reset it to dafault and bingo it worked like a charm.
[Defy Android Development] lisbon2004:
Hi everyone! i'm from russia and bought 900/2100 version of Defy+, and also own 900/2100 version of Flipout. I visit Latin America regularly and using internet at Edge speed is a pain. I just came across this program (baseband switcher), read all 22 pages and have some general questions (especially because so many people have run into reception troubles).

did i get it right that:

1) this program is designed for Defy/Defy+, but may work on other motorolas like Motorola Flipout?

2) its main purpose is to change operating frequencies for international travel, to be able to use 3G overseas, even if the phone was not designed for that?

3) all Defys have the same hardware and are able to use 3g on different frequences, it's a matter of using right config? (seen some complaints that it didn't work)? anyone knows for sure? (i suspect the hardware is the same, Motorola just blocks some frequencies and does different packaging for sales in different regions)

and some specific questions:

4) is it possible to have a general config to enable the phone to use ALL 3g bands??

for example, i've also bought Atrix (not Atrix 2) which is one of a few phones that supports 850/900/1900/2100 3G out of the box (so i can use it both in Europe, Asia & LATAM). Why Defy+ couldn't do that?

5) does the Baseband switcher do backup of initial baseband files on first run (or at request), for easy recovery if things go wrong?

6) does changing baseband alter ability to operate at 850/900/1800/1900 in GSM/Voice/Edge? (as it is the standard now for virtually every phone). i.e. the question is, could the change accidentally limit phone's ability to use all these 4 bands for GSM?

could you please help clarifying these questions?

if i can get Defy+ work in 3G internationally, i will use it instead. I like superfast Atrix, but just too big and heavy for me, and all latest phones have even bigger screens (4 or 4.3"), it seems like compact phones are prohibited in 2012 :(

thank you in advance.

it looks like a great program!
[Defy Android Development] iolinux333:
I have the same questions as above. I first ordered a Droid RAZR because I knew it would just work on AT&T here in the US, but then canceled it because I really don't want such a HUGE phone as the RAZR and also really love the water resistance of the Defy. At the moment I have a galaxy that I hate because samsung phones have horrible voice quality & I'm looking forward to being able to calling people again instead of texting all of the time. I hope I can figure how to get 3G working on AT&T on the Defy when I get it next week, or I'll have to return it and order the gigantic RAZR. I can't believe samsung still makes such horrible voice quality phones & people still buy them...
[Defy Android Development] lisbon2004:
i hope this thread is not dead, and someone could answer our questions...

if my european defy+ will be able to work in 3g in LATAM (colombia, brazil, mexico), i'd use it instead of Atrix...
[Defy Android Development] trurl3:
Although this fix helped me after flashing CM7 1.2, I am greatly disturbed by fact so I do not know how it was done...

I am not experienced 'flasher' so to speak... then I unpacked .zip and used .app from inside, but visibly nothhing happened. Went to system/app and saw it there. So clicked on it and choosed 'install'. After that my G3 started working.

But what is the most nerving to me is fact, so all this 'fixing' went without my control. Is there any way to have some 'interface' for this app? Maybe someone will be so kind to clear the whole process of installing .zip packet.

Thanks in advance

Edit// At least I found it... in Settings -> Device settings there is Baseband selection option with all this settings for Americas, EMEA and APAC :)

You know what, you could try it.

Most likely, since it's for the defy, and the radios are different, you would not have a functioning phone.. (probably brick it)

Correct Baseband for South Africa Cell C

Hello Spoerk

The official baseband for my South African Cell C Defy is:

SEA 18 | 3.4.3-361

found on this page:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1093352

Up to now I've been using the Central Europe, Hong Kong etc. 3.4.x / 4.5.1-85 baseband but disconnects and RIL freeezes happen quite often lately.

Would it be possible to add the SEA 18 | 3.4.3-361 baseband or could you recommend one that will work better.

Thanks

Edit: included baseband folder in the next post
[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:
OK, I went back to SEA 18 | 3.4.3-361 and copied the /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default folder (zip attached)

This is the correct baseband for South Africa 900/2100

I hope you can include it in the next release :)
[Defy Android Development] lisbon2004:
It's amazing that noone actually answered the questions above.

ok, i tried the bb switcher on defy+ (german version from CU with the latest firmware and CM7.1)

i'm now in Colombia and only Edge works (in WCDMA only mode phone doesn't see any network).

i've tried various basebands from different regions, the phone starts to see networks, with some, sometimes, tries to set up a connection, but fails and goes back to edge. So i reverted to european radio firmware.

i've seen many comments regarding 3g fix - is that something that might help?

[Defy Android Development] jm2k7:
mmmm, I think I'm screwed. I think the phone hardware is 900/2100.

It says on the box in the specifications.

Type: MVQ7-334411D11 / DEFY UTMS 900/2100 - GSM 850/900/1800/1900 HSDPA, Packed in EU

-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------

I want to leave a question now!

on page-developers and sbf: defy put on that table:

stock roms froyo 2.2.1. all say 850/1900/2100

stock roms froyo 2.2.2. all say 900/2100

these "stock roms" has to do directly with the baseband?

or is a matter of internal hardware.?

I need to clarify this doubt, but to sell the phone here I can not use this phone.

I have the phone with the 2.2.2 nordic sbf 900/2100, if this phone had the 2.2.1 rom with 850/1900/2100 but on the box tells me it's 900/2100, work with the bands 850/1900?

As I understand, if you have phone in their boxes say UTMS 850/2100 and then installed 2.2.2 froyo I guess that will have problems because the band 850 is blocked by the rom, and that is why does this basebandswitcher.

But phones that in their cases say UTMS 900/2100 ---> this utility will not help.

First install froyo for your country, then copy this folder to your pc

/system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default

Next you have to make a flashable zip of the folder above, instructions can be found here, thanks to [] AL [] for the detailed tutorial.

Once you've made the zip, copy it to a convenient place on you SD card and flash it via recovery once you've installed the rom of your choice.

Hope this helps.

Sheez! Looks a bit complicated (for me) :eek:

So... why doesn't pushing the files manually work??

edit:

:mmm: have retried manually pushing stock files over ^^

looks promising ;-)

Think last time I tried I deleted the files from custom partition then copied over stock files... this may have short circuited it somehow

This time I just copied & pasted over the top - I can see all available networks in settings (which hasn't happened before using custom baseband)

Find out in a couple of days... "Going to the country... gonna eat a lot of peaches!"
[Defy Android Development] ktmbikerman:
I think you can copy and paste the files, but you have to set the permissions correctly, which I found rather tedious. Once you've made the zip once, you can use it for any rom.

Hi,

I'm using VIVO from Brazil and note that with Europe Central 900/2100 i got a stronger signal vs the one with VIVO 850/2100 (South America/Brazil) wich is alread in BBV4.

1) can you check if my version (attached) of VIVO is the same as yours ? And updated it as an option?

2) can you make a "Generic" baseband of frequencies from 850/2100, 900/2100, and others ? That could be "uncountry" :)

Hi guys.

I wonder if Baseband Switcher is able to enable 1700/2100 AWS on IHDP56LC1 version of Defy? Of it's just a tool to restore original frequencies after updating with custom ROM?

Basically question is - does this tool enable/allow to use any frequencies set OR it just restores them according to the version (IHDP56LC1, IHDP56LC2, IHDP56LC3...) ???

Thank you in advance.
[Defy Android Development] Sqoerk:
You are right, this tool only changes KNOWN basebands, it doesn't create new ones. Every CM9 and above has it's own basebandswitcher buildin.

Thanks a lot for your reply. However could you please elaborate what do you mean by "KNOWN"?

I'm trying to make my IHDP56LC1 work as IHDP56LC3 (this one has 1700 and 2100, these are standard known frequencies). Can I achieve it with switcher?

Or by KNOWN you mean "known to this modification of the phone"? So in my case IHDP56LC1 will not be able to work with 1700/2100?

[Defy Android Development] kye04:
Hi.

i really try to understand something : usually , we should use last baseband for our region. The manufacturer is launching new versions of baseband to improve signal, standy , battery.

So, using an old baseband is not an good ideea.

For example , in my opinion, the best baseband for EUROPE is 4.5.1-85 because it seems to be the last one.

Others la 2.51.x , 3.4x etc are old so do not need t be used or even appear here...

It is my opinion....

Baseband install won't stay

I'm having an issue where I can't get my chosen baseband to stay using the App. I've tried a number of things (flashed the zip, extracted the apk and installed it manually while checking file permissions, installed the apk from SD, verified that it's in system/app with correct permissions (doesn't show in the launcher when installed via zip or manually copying), etc.). I'm running the latest 4.1.2 from Quarx, I have downloaded it twice now, but can't get the baseband to stay. It will constantly go back to the EU baseband that seems to come with the ROM (and doesn't connect to my North American carrier). Any suggestions?
