I know that where I am sitting right now, I have been frustrated with 1-2/4 bars recently. Right now I have 4/4 using the CBW baseband. So it seems to do more than just 3G.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] LibertyMonger:
Yeah I knew my signal was messed up or missing something! I been doing everything I know to do everyday trying to fix it lmao. Even calling CBW and resetting. I had 4 bars a lot and it said H and 3g but it seemed like false signals. Then I would lose network connection in chat This has been a problem for me for quite a long time but i am too spoiled on the greatness and too stubborn to change to something else lol. Kinda foolish haha. So it seems I have my mms back, my true tests will be getting pics from my friends Iphone and good steady connection in chats. One thing I know is in my kitchen I get crap signal, but now all four bars and 3g. i have never had full signal in my kitchen. Thanks a bunch Mz I think we got this bug killed. ***EDIT(you got this bug killed)

*** just got pics from my buddies Iphone so now I know we are fixed up!!!

just want to check that with baseband software would it be possible to add wcdma 850 or 900 onto this phone?

is wcdma hardware dependent or software?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
Ok I updated it and the first time I opened up phone, I got only emergency signal. Locked the phone and initiated juice defender mobile cutoff. Unlocked and all is good. I am in my basement now and have 3 edge bars and occasional flip to h, but before I only had red emergency cross down here.

Nice work Mz.

Guess Im out of luck... Im looking for a file from a region that has 3G on 850/1900 bands.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] B_e_n:
I didn t need to apply any baseband to make my network working (on 6.3 RC2)

Do you think i d better apply it anyway???

It seems to improve performance also...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Woody:
As MZ says and I agree 100%, If it aint broke, don't fix it. I applied my basebands and while it did fix the strength of my signal in my blackhole basement, I did notice it got hotter faster and a slightly higher battery drain. I had a backup and just restored that to wipe out my update and all seems back as it was.

By no means saying it doesn't work, but for me it gave me a bit of strength but not much to make a real difference, so I let it stay where I was before. I would think that it would fix the issue of say you are in France and flash the Korean.sbf to get the Iceandfire ROM working and that wrecked something b/c you are on the CE.sbf. Updating your basebands for your regions could possibly fix that problem.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Lienaj:
Thanks for responding. I already tried the Canada-Wind one which works. Actually, I would like a baseband update that has UMTS on 850/1900 band. :D The Korean and most of the others are 2100. But I dont think any are available
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I wish I knew how to determine which frequencies were provided by each baseband. I did some searching but I haven't (yet?) found out how to determine those from the contents of bp_nvm_default.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] molohov:
How are you viewing the contents of those files (binaries, or smalli, I presume?). I'm too taxed right now to view those files on Unix...

I did some diffing around the contents of this folder (in Windoze, so very painfully):

baseband-XT720-VARIANT\system\etc\motorola\comm_drv

Especially in the *.cfg files:

mmins_settings.cfg
mmins_telephony.cfg
mmins_user_settings.cfg

But I found little differences. I thought I might find something based on these lines I saw in mmins_telephony.cfg:

GSM_1800_AVAILABLE = 01
GSM_1900_AVAILABLE = 01
GSM_850_AVAILABLE = 01
GSM_900_AVAILABLE = 01

It makes sense that the phone is able to communicate on all the GSM bands, but the 3G frequencies are quite elusive. I know for a fact that Wind mobile communicates in the AWS spectrum:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_Mobile#Network

So I was trying to look for something with the numbers 17**-21** in these files.

yes, it's really works on my korea skt motoroi XT720
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] xaser66:
Hello!

First, thanks so much to Mioze7Ae and the other friends around here that are working and helping with this detail of baseband settings.

Well, the fact is that I was following this thread since was open, with hope about a fix that would make may be possible to make an XT720 to works in 3g over an 850MHz band.

So I would like to ask if it could be possible by now, since the last post I am not clear if there available some file that may activate that band in a XT720.

Also , as I could see, this same setting was requested by other users in previuos posts, so I would like to ask if, please,may be possible some answer or explanation what could be the state of this detail by today. I also would be very gratefull if could be in some what detailed for noob reply, in order to avoid bother too much with additional questions.

In my case, the baseband is 850MHz, and sadly I give up on my XT720, and I suing a FlipSide form AT&T (upgraded to 2.2 and somewhat decrapped) becuase need a phone that I could use in 3g-850MHz band, and used it since several weeks ago succesfully configured in such band and with a good working record, but I Really miss use my XT720, and wonder if could be possible to make its hardware to be set for enable 850MHz band.

Thanks again for such great work and best regards!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Shadowdancer123:
Being in Sweden I installed the Central Europe baseband about the same time this thread was made.

So far the standby is slightly worse, maybe 15% less.

But now I have a much more consistent 3G connection, so I'm almost never on 2G (Which explains the standby reduction really)
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] adeeb.alex:
My friend have xt701 and it works good, so can i use his files on my xt720(motoroi), if yes, what are the files which i need to replace please tell...

Thanks
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I think you need these files/directories:

/system/lib/libril-moto-umts-1.so

/system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default/*

/system/etc/motorola/comm_drv/*

You should be able to take any of the baseband update.zip's in the OP and replace those files and rezip to create a new update.zip that you can apply in recovery. I'm not sure how closely tied these files are to the bpsw software version in the sbf. Let us know if it works. Unfortunately I've not figured out what sbf the XT720 is sold with in India.

Hi,

Any update to have normal temp ?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] xaser66:
Hello!

Please I would like to ask help with something that is bugging me since some days ago...

I am looking for get installed over CyanogenMod 7 (7.1.0 version), a baseband that may have the 850MHz band as in the following networks according to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UMTS_frequency_bands):

Americas (AT&T, Bell Mobility, Telcel, Telus, Rogers), Oceania (Telstra, Vodafone_Hutchison_Australia, Telecom NZ), Dominican Republic (Claro), Hong Kong (SmarTone[8]), Israel (Cellcom, Pelephone), Thailand (TrueMove[9]), Brazil (Claro, Vivo), Philippines(Smart Communications[10])

(also more info in:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UMTS_networks)

So, I am trying to install the baseband of the HO!NO!_CM7.1.1-ICS_Edition-V1 ROM, since according their original changelog of the ROM, it is based to TELUS network, according with the info on this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849676

"Baseband (radio)

This Rom as Telus Baseband radio, so if your not with Telus don't forget to change radio for you country with Open Recovery MiniMod...."

As could see, it is the changelog for the Milestone version, but I wonder if the changelog in Daddy's version may be suited also for TELUS (and in that case may have the 850MHz band enabled.... ??? )

However I wonder about this, because Daddy's version seems also made for motoroi that have the 850MHz enabled.

But, I was triying to insert the dirs with the info, also tested my taking one of the baseband files at this post and replaced the same internals files taked from the HO!NO!_CM7.1.1-ICS_Edition-V1 zip, and several others attemps of get the same but NO luck since in some cases my XT720 loops and using openrecovery update option give error with the update modded with the files of HO NO! that I put in inside...

So, I would like to ask for some help, if is possible that somebody, may please upload an baseband update file that contain the 850MHz band enabled, if possible.

Thanks to all people, specially the kind clever Devs around here, for kind work and help.

Best regards.

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Similya:
what baseband that is compatible for use in the philippines?

[Milestone XT720 Android Development] DarkMD:
Hi Mz! There is a way to change frequency? Cause im from panama and 3g frequency are 850/1900
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Honestly, I have no idea how to check which frequencies are in which baseband. Or whether the frequencies are set by bpsw.img instead of the files updated here (which go into /system). All these updates do is repeat what Dexter did for A853 but with files from XT720 sbf's.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] jp23:
i'm using US sbf wich is my stock rom and installed CM7.2 and the frequencies are 1700 - 2100 MHz in HSDPA and i would like to change it to 850 - 1900 MHz in HSDPA to use the 3G connection in my country...

i'm trying to check lib-moto-umts-1.so but i'm not enable to read this file because i haven't the correct program to read it. Wich program do i have to use to read this extension file?

thanks
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
What I understand from your answer is that your phone never worked on 850/1700 in the past. I think the hardware is capable of 850/1700, but we don't have the configuration and baseband files. Possibly because nobody ever commissioned Motorola to produce it for XT720. As far as I know, XT720 was never sold by any 850/1700 operators--that's why I asked which sbf your phone came with. I have many sbf's for XT720, but not all.

I've read that XT711 (the chinese version of XT720) may use 850/1700. The phones are very similar, so it may be possible to take the baseband from XT711 and use it on XT720. I don't have any XT711 sbf's though and I won't have time to search for a while. If you want to find one and post a link, I can extract the baseband files for you to try. XT701 may also be a possibility, but Motorola left XT701 unsigned so that may be a problem on XT720 (I have one XT701 sbf)

Also, *.so files are binaries (shared libraries--linux version of *.dll).
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] xaser66:
Hi Mioze7Ae!

Thanks for kind offer and info, I just looking for and found the XT711 SBFs in this link:

http://and-developers.com/sbf:xt711

and just started to download the file for version:

RSTCU_U2_10.16.0_SIGNED_USASHLSTAB125P2XAPCNCU035.0R_HWp3_1FF.rar

that seems that is the more recent from the 2 available...

and yes, seems very probable that may work the basebands (and in fact seems that have the 850/1900/2100 baseband... :-) )

So, please if You could help extracting the proper files and making a update file same as the already available, will be very grateful and useful around here.

Thanks and best regards!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] DarkMD:
+1 i hope there is possible
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Here is a first attempt (just using the equivalent files that we've used for XT720 in the past).

I feel I need to provide some big warnings. In the past people have bricked their phones trying to get these other bands working. We spend a lot of time trying to rescue a phone that tried this (unsuccessfully). For a long time I refused to even touch the baseband files for this reason.

#1 do not attempt this unless you are so familiar with sbf flashing that you can do it in your sleep. Let someone else try.

#2 Basebands are black magick boxes to me--I don't know what they are doing.

#3 The partition structure seems to be a little different on XT711 (they don't even have the /cust partition). This could be a problem. This might cause the baseband software to write data to places it shouldn't. I have no idea. It's a black box.

#4 When others have messed with basebands in the past, they claimed to have hard bricked--i.e. unable to restore using sbf.

#5 I have not tested these on my own phone*

#6 You should understand that this might be quite dangerous--I have no idea.

#7 Protect your data -- nandroid

#8 If you understand all that the attachments are updates that can be applied in OpenRecovery

*Both my backup XT720 and my wife's Nexus S took a trip through the washing machine last weekend--so she's using my main XT720 and I'm currently phoneless until we find out if any survived (They both have been sitting in bags of dry rice for a few days and they both showed the boot logos this morning--but both got stuck there--so finger crossed.) I'm probably going to be preoccupied with that problem for the next week or so. These updates were pretty easy, if they don't work (likely) it's going to require some thought/study/work.

EDIT updates removed, PM me if you want them.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
Hi

What is the purpose of these updates for xt720 just wondering.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] DarkMD:
So there is a big possibility to hardbrick my phone? And even doing a sbf flash canot restore it?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] mchlbenner:
I would not try this unless your willing to brick your phone very dangerous.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] DarkMD:
1 noob question...

Here

http://and-developers.com/sbf:xt720?s[]=xt720

Say that motoroi (STSKT_N_79.11.39R) have 900mhz frequency

EDIT: If the motoroi sbf(or kernel) enable the 900mhz frequency... if a possibility to port that files to a mod/sbf and just flash it?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
I don't understand. Do you want 850/1700/2100 or 900? According to

http://developer.motorola.com/products/milestone-xt720/

our hardware supports combinations of

GSM 850/900/1800/1900,

W-CDMA 1700/2100

But all the actual Milestone XT720 sbf's I know of are all 1700/2100. The Korean Motoroi baseband update in the first post comes from STSKT_N_79.33.50R which is the 2.2 version (STSKT_N_79.11.39R is 2.1) and should give you 900. I have run the Korean baseband on my Milestone XT720 without bricking. If it does not, then probably we need to flash bpsw.img (easy test would be to install STSKT_N_79.33.50R via sbf)

If you don't want to be the first to try the updates, wait until I've got both of my phones working again and I'll verify it doesn't case a brick. I don't have 850/1700/2100 service so I'll never be able to determine whether the updates work...

And yes, people have claimed to brick their phones and mchlbenner was there trying to help so he's still a bit shell shocked by it. It was never entirely clear exactly what they did. It took me a long time and lots of private testing to get over the fear and post the basebands in the first post. Frankly, I now think it's inconceivable for a baseband update to break the bootloader the way they were claiming, but talk is cheap and it's your phone, not mine.

EDIT:

Ok, according to http://developer.motorola.com/products/milestone-xt720/ Milestone XT720 does not support W-CDMA 850. Milestone A853 http://developer.motorola.com/products/milestone-a853/ supports a pile of different ones and IIRC we use the same wireless chipset. So someone can maybe try Dexter's Milestone baseband updates from the bottom of: http://dext3r.komodin.org/
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] DarkMD:
Ok look 3g frequency in my country are HSDPA not WCDMA... 3g frequency in my country are 900mhz or 1900mhz... our XT720 just support 1700/2100 thats the problem jaja i only hace EDGE no 3G =`( ...
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Here's what I don't understand: where do I see which frequencies XT720 supports for HSDPA? Is it listed on the motodev pages somehow? I saw that XT711 has 850 WCDMA, but I guess that's irrelevant... You would think I knew this stuff because I posted this thread, but... you would be wrong... it's a lot of greek to me... lol

Have you tried running the Korean 50R sbf to test 3G?
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] xaser66:
Thanks Mioze for take time to help.,,

Ok,for clairify, the band that is mainly requested is 850mhz, and better if this include 1900mhz band,since these are bands fully used in many countries in America (out of´ usa), including Canada and most of Central and South America ( 850/1900mhz bands are not in none of´ the basebands updates available)

About testing and bricking....well may be posible to wait until you may help with additional tests if this could be posible, and meanwhile,may you could post the link of the case of bricking in order to check the info about.

Over all, thank you very much for take time to try to help with this petition.

Best regards.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] DarkMD:
http://m.gsmarena.com/motorola_milestone_xt720-3375.php

There say that the xt720 have 1700/2100 hsdpa frequency.

Ok i look on dexters page and there is a brazilian update for milestone (not xt720 i think) brazil have the same 3g frequencys of my country... can i flash that .zip update?

EDIT: I will try motoroi sbf but it will boot normaly on the ms xt720 or i need to flash the bootfix of jy daddy?

P.D: thanks a lot man!!!! You dont know how i respect your work!!! You can adopt me if you want jajajaja
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
No bootfixes needed. Some sensors won't work, but that doesn't matter for testing the 3G. The only problem is sometimes after flashing the sbf the first boot will get stuck. To fix that you go to stock recovery and do a factory reset.
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] xaser66:
Ok... Well... I just flashed the update file: Radio_3G-Canada236-update-nosign.zip that is the CANADA file from the page Dexter's Milestone baseband updates. I flashed it over CyanogenMod 7.2.0 20120130.

Ok, the good news is that my phone didnt brick, I apply the update by openrecovery, and did a fully wipe of everything available for wipe and a factory reset.

My xt720, tooks a little longer to boot (around 6-7 minutes in total) and did a error at start the config screen that ask me to choose about complete the process with setup program of andorid, which was I choose, then the Happy green android appears and I was able to complete a normal setup... I turn off put my local SIM, turn on and test connection and wrote my APN for my provider... well everything seems working same and fine as before the update, but the bad news is that only connection in EDGE so no 3g was enable... :-(

I will try with another sim from a provider that offer service in my country with 3g in the native band of xt720 in order to check for any change, and will post again.

Edit... Ok, just checked... 3g working in the other provider that use band 2100... but seems to no in 850mhz....

Seems that need more testing this issue... and I found the previous post of bricking... but seems that the cases have in common the use of the switcher for the Motorola DEFY phone, so may be the bricking trouble is more related to the use of a software for a very different model, that it may wrote some wrong in XT720 system.

best regards!
[Milestone XT720 Android Development] Mioze7Ae:
Ok, thanks for testing those. I'm pretty sure that means that we have to muck around with bpsw.img. That is: the approach used by the updates in the first post of this thread won't work. That's going to take some study to see if it's even going to be plausible (it's signed and protected like boot.img, so if the signatures are incompatible it won't work). If things check out, I can test whether swapping the appropriate bpsw.img still lets me connect to my provider before we try on new bands. Again, thanks for testing!

In this thread, they are saying to use a different recovery as CWM does not work well.

But I noticed in your previous posts that you said you have the Incredible S. I know that there are different versions of CWM recovery, maybe you just have to use a different version. You can skim through this thread and reflash CWM recovery.

I personally never used CWM, so I couldn't help you any further other than to search for different solutions on here.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShifterX2:
Did you do a system AND dalvik wipe? I used to get errors when i would forget. And CWM sometimes wont load for me and i get the default bootloader prog, but if you use rom manager (free) you have an option to boot straight into CWM. Hope that helps a bit.
