To see what modem you have go to settings>about phone>baseband version.

To flash a modem do as you said.

I thought the EL26, EL29, FD02, FD05 etc were kernel versions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackroseMD1:
They are modem versions as well. I'm running the FD05 kernel and FD02 modem.

Both. They correspond to the date it/they are released.

For some reason, when running a Cyber GR/Codename Android/AOKP/SlimICS/CM Nightlies ROM my keyboard will not register any inputs if I lock the screen while in the SMS app.

While running MIUIEXPERIENCE #1 and #2, this problem does not occur but receiving MMS messages become more spotty.

Has anyone experienced this before?

[Nokia Lumia 900] PaullikesWINMO:
Starting this thread to help document the specific findings and phone behaviour along with network quirks.

So we have a base line I am on Mobilicity with their $55 unlimited everything (calls, texts, data) plan which I went for the 50% off promo and it's $27.50 a month. I just picked up the Rogers Nokia Lumia 900 last night (already have the Lumia 710 from Rogers) and was lucky enough to pay for an unlock code and receive it in 35 minutes last night as well.

Other details are that I seem to be picking up CDN Roaming as a network and the other networks diplayed are Bell and Telus (no Rogers showing network). It could be showing CDN Roaming since it a Rogers phone unlocked, but my 710 does show Mobilicity. The 900 is lacking the Nokia Network Setup app and it's no longer downloadable from the Market Place. My 710 did have the app preinstalled.

I was having some significant issues with the phone last night. Not sure if it was me, the phone or the network. I did bring it to work and had a chance to show a co-worker the phone after 5PM. I told him what was going on. He says pop in the SIM and lets' see. Well... I now get CDN Roaming all the time and had to turn on roaming to get it to that state. Bars are anywhere from 2 to 4. Also trying to make an actual call, the bars will disappear and a small "do not enter" symbol is over the greyed out bars, but the call is still connected !! I will check my Mobilicity account to see if the phone is actually roaming, or the phone is just telling me it's roaming but its actually not.

Data does work as I tried basic web surfing on the browser, but it seems quite slow. Not sure if there's any tweaking I can do. So it does work but in a quirky way. I will now continue to fiddle with it to see what I can do for improvements.

Any comments or suggestions, please write them here.....

also I'm adding a pic of the phone label to show the bands that are listed from the factory. Not sure how I can confirm if these frequency bands are correct or not.
[Nokia Lumia 900] PaullikesWINMO:
okay, definately there is no way of connecting from home location. I either get "no service" or "Emergency Only" displayed on the phone. I also checked on the calls I was able to make earlier today with a co-worker and they were billed as roaming calls. Not looking to promising that this phone will work. Will give it another half hour but the fact that the 4 calls I made today were billed as roaming calls, is putting a damper on things.
[Nokia Lumia 900] JMackey:
Did you end up calling Nokia?

That would be the only real way to find out if Band 4 (1700/2100) is capable of non-LTE connection.

Also, the Nokia Network Setup app only adjusts SMS, voicemail, and data settings. I don't think it would help in this situation.
[Nokia Lumia 900] PaullikesWINMO:
No... didn't want to call Nokia until I could confirm performance. It's definately not working correctly at home location. My Lumia 710 works perfectly. I wonder if it could be the same issue of connections that the AT&T units have? Seems AT&T and Rogers are giving account holders $100 for the trouble.

I think I am just going to return it unless somone in the forum wants to buy it from me ? :-) I will throw in the unlock for free ! Although it seems it would only work for Bell and Telus.
[Nokia Lumia 900] MrGreencastle:
It should work on the sub-operators like Fido, Koodo, etc, too.
[Nokia Lumia 900] PaullikesWINMO:
despite what the label on the box reads, here is the official Nokia Canada website....

http://www.nokia.com/ca-en/products/phone/lumia900/specifications/

The 1700/2100 are definately LTE.
[Nokia Lumia 900] JMackey:
I've contacted Nokia via both email and twitter asking if LTE Band 4 is backwards compatible with W-CDMA. We shall see...
[Nokia Lumia 900] nuclear:
Hey bud i just got one too in black. Tried it out on wind mobile. Exact same problem. Luckily Bell/Chatr/Fido work.

I heard about this baseband modification thing. I really like this phone and hope i can get it to work on Wind. I just upgraded from the HD7... well i still use it cause wind wont work on this.
[Nokia Lumia 900] JMackey:
I just got off the phone with Nokia and they told me that the Lumia 900 does indeed support Band 4 with WCDMA.

So either the lady I talked to was wrong, or there is something else going on here.
[Nokia Lumia 900] PaullikesWINMO:
All I know is it was not working for me.

And trust me I've have plenty of cell phones and smart phones over the years. I suffered enough with a Rogers Samsung Focus on FIDO long enough that iIwasn't putting up with any kind of non-compatibility. So yes the label says one thing and that's why I bought it, but I have to go with the specs listed on the Nokia Canada website this time around.

BTW... sold the phone on Kijiji within 4 hours !
[Nokia Lumia 900] alextheangel:
have you try to turn off both 2G(GSM) and LTE, leave only the 3G WCDMA and see if you can manual scan out wind/mobility/tmobile on it?

And also this might be the Micro SIm issue, since offically Mobility and Wind don't have a Micro Sim, and the mini Sim cutting might not work, > just saw another post from t-mobile threadmentioned the Sim card cutter not work s on Lumia 900.

Thinking of this phone too, using N8 with both rogers and Wind works on, so really wish it supports Wind too.
[Nokia Lumia 900] PaullikesWINMO:
I sold the phone long ago so can't test anything else. Maybe once Rogers releases the update and if somone want to unlock their phone, I am willing to test with my SIM card. Yes it was a regular sim cut down to microSIM (works in my lumia 710).
[Nokia Lumia 900] PaullikesWINMO:
This ad seems to suggest the 900 works on Mobilicity !?

http://toronto.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-...-Mobilicity-Phones-SPECIAL-W0QQAdIdZ372455155

I've send them an email but I doubt they will respond.

Is there anyone out there with an unlocked Rogers Nokia Lumia that has been updated willing to let me test my Mobilicity SIM card ? Or alternatively, I'm willing to pay for an unlock code if I can do some testing with your phone. The unlock code should be $9 or less anyway. If you are in Markham/Richmond Hill area (north of Toronto) and willing to try, let me know.
[Nokia Lumia 900] leobg:
I don't have Wind/Mobilicity line, but I noticed when I search for available networks on my Lumia 900 (which btw I am using on a TELUS line), neither Wind nor Mobilicity show up as available network. All it shows is Bell, Telus and Rogers.
[Nokia Lumia 900] PaullikesWINMO:
Great summary !

Yes I too got CDN Roaming in the 404/Major Mackenzie area and actually was able to make calls (had money in the "my wallet" account). It actually charged out as roaming as funds were less in the account when I checked it from home.

Luckily I had limited the calls so I was down about 60 cents.

Rogers probably had the phone programed much like AT&T did so you can't use it on AWS networks. Kind of cuts the competition in half so to speak.

Wish there was a Microsoft store in Canada like they have in the USA, but not sure if the phones would be totally wide open for all networks.

Should be interesting to see what happens during Microsoft's World Partner Conference this coming July in Toronto. I understand there is about 15,000 people from around the world attending. My suspicions are Windows 8 will be launched and there will be more phones and tablets introduced that will run the platform. Should be a spectacle to see. About 7 weeks to go. Can't wait !
[Nokia Lumia 900] leobg:
This model simply does not have HSPA band IV (AWS 1700/2100). The EMEA model lacks LTE, but has pentaband HSPA. You can't use the Rogers or AT&T model (which has the same hardware) on AWS only providers like Mobilicity or WIND.
[Nokia Lumia 900] PaullikesWINMO:
let's hope a true AWS 1700/2100 model becomes available soon.
[Nokia Lumia 900] PaullikesWINMO:
This might get slightly off topic but there is a BIG announcement coming from Microsoft on Monday. Likely it's for Microsoft Tablet, but who knows maybe it's more phones in preparation for new OS ?

Then flash it through odin
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] timmetal6669:
Most likely a corrupted MD5 file. Odin won't flash in that case. (this is a good thing) Re download a fresh copy of the md5. Wipe dalvik cashe. Wipe cashe. Put md5 in PDA slot of Odin and flash. Or you can transfer the md5 (cut/paste) to your sd card from your pc and flash with mobile Odin or CWM rogue. Hope this helps.

[Acer Iconia A500] smaury:
That's great, also the steps are really clean, maybe you should give some tips to acer :D
[Acer Iconia A500] yaworski:
@shchers: aren't you thinking about submitting your work to CyanogenMod so our tables could get official support from CM team? I think there is no Acer Iconia maintainer right now at all in the CM team so you could try and join them as Iconia maintainer. This would be really great.
[Acer Iconia A500] macia10:
Hm, forgive me for asking but where is the kernel to use with it?
[Acer Iconia A500] yaworski:
After I've written above reply, I've checked shchers' git repo and there is a kernel but in a binary form.

@shchers: did you build this kernel yourself? GPL licence requires that you need to publish its sources as well.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
ONLY if he modified it from Acer's released source. If he didn't, he doesn't have to add the sources to his git (though it'd be handy for conveniences sake). Best we wait and see what he says before jumping to ANY conclusions.

Either way, FANTASTIC work shchers! Thank you VERY much! :D
[Acer Iconia A500] shchers:
No, I used Acer kernel. But thanks for reminder;)

When my kernel will be ready I'll share it with community:)

About ZIP... I see that many people asking about update package, so I started building and it will be ready in a one hour.
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Awesome. :) Have you thought about the CyanogenMOD suggestion made earlier? If you added your source to that, we could get official support for it on our devices which would rock, and it'd also make life easier for those wanting to get MIUI ported over. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] shchers:
Good point, but unfortunately I'd never seen CM source code. May be you can share link to CM Gerrit/Git with me?
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
You should find all you need through the following link...

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/community

There's also a link to their Git hub on there.
[Acer Iconia A500] yaworski:
All you need is here:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Building_from_source

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Gerrit

(just replace gingerbread branch with ics)

But you probably need working kernel source for the device to submit vendor specific code to CM.

Is this kernel just a binary from Acer's leak? I'm asking because I'm not aware of a working kernel source for a500.

Be prepared for questions, probably about the bootloader ;) Some people, are looking for a complete package (rom,bootloader, kernel/boot.img and such). A 1 time flash.

Do I need to flash ICS bootloader or can I stay on HC one?
[Acer Iconia A500] orobin:
Hello,

thank you for this great work.

I have some question :

the source are coming from official repository of android sdk ?

modified by you to work on Acer tablet ? or you have "only" put the Acer driver ?

what about the kernel ? it use the kernel already installed on the tablet ?

does it remove th root feature ?

the bootloader you provide is created directly from the link in post #1 (I mean : do you have modified this bootloader, or just used it in state. then if we report in the original link, we can do the same thing than you ?)

it works on A501, so it works on A500 ? ( we could disable the 3G in the .prop file located in system directory ???)

thank you anyway, it is so great.

Sorry for delay with answer. Now I work on package (for CWM) which will do the next:

Install ICS bootloader (no more need to use nvflash)

Install thor's recovery

Install Android

Answers:

Yes, you need to install ICS bootloader

I'm not sure that I understand question. Any way...:

sources from original Google Android repo, but Ericsson MBM and Acer device part mine.

Kernel - original Acer.

Broadcom driver and NTFS driver - original Acer

Kernel and ramdisk will be updated bu boot.img

If you already have installed ICS bootloader and right recovery - YES
[Acer Iconia A500] macia10:
huh for me the 3G is not working it shows the signal bar but nothing is working. I've send sms to the tablet the phone received confirmation that the message was delivered but did not receive anything on the tab and net is not working also and I cannot search for networks. But when I connect to wifi it's showing me the name of the network and letter H.

EDIT:

OK after 3 reboots I have net but not sms. and HSDPA is quite slow. Dont know why.

Installed on my old HC bootloader and works fine only HDSPA transfers are working like EDGE ones. Oh and I have 2 acer logos then starting

And one last thing. There is no root ;p
[Acer Iconia A500] shchers:
macia10,

Thank you for testing! Looks like in the B#1 no permissions for CDMA. I'll check it now!
[Acer Iconia A500] macia10:
I think that it's the same thing as it was with old leaks a500 cannot work with this on HC bootloader but a501 does. Probably a kernel related thing.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Install was good. No issues.

Wifi good

Audio good

Market good

3g. Sees the networks, but no data connection.

Will put SU and BB tomorrow.

Just first looks between dealing with new baby.

EDIT: Took 8 minutes after turning off Wifi, and searching for known network, before locking in.
[Acer Iconia A500] shchers:
With new bootloader you will be able to use "adb root", it's much powerfull than simple su;)

I need some one who know how to use nvflash (in case of emergency) to test this CWM update. To prevent stupid questions - yes, I tested it on my tablet, but I need to know does it work for reflashing from HC (bootloader/CWM).

Volunteer - please take in account you should know what are you doing! If you never do it before, please just wait for updates.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
So far, GPS doesn't work. No Sats. As far as I know, this is a kernel issue.
[Acer Iconia A500] macia10:
What have you changed here?

And btw in RA recovery there is a install su and uperuser option. Used it and root still does not work :(
[Acer Iconia A500] shchers:
I tried to use CDMA USIM and I got the same result.

Some observations:

"H" under antenna bar means that modem uses HSDPA connection

Regression in GPS functionality (detected only with CDMA, on GSM all work fine)

"No Sats" - not related to kernel, this issue related only to libmbm-gps or/and mbmservice
[Acer Iconia A500] shchers:
Inside this package:

Installer ICS bootloader

Installer thor's recovery

Android like in B#1

I know:(. Moreover, inside my build you can find "su", but it doesn't work. I have no time to debug it now, but "adb root" works fine and it's enough for debug.
[Acer Iconia A500] macia10:
I have the GSM version and GPS don't work. There isn't any gps icon blinking when needed.
[Acer Iconia A500] shchers:
Could you please provide logs?
[Acer Iconia A500] Zatta:
Okay, I tried this package (1952 hrs) but.. because I wasn't sure about my nvflash skills I decided to test this first and loaded the ICS bootloader that way. Otherwise, I am now booted in your build. As mentioned before, no root atm.

What I did not do is wipe anything so only the system got updated, all apps are still functioning, haven't encountered any problems so far (but, only running for 10 minutes now).

Acer Iconia A500.
[Acer Iconia A500] macia10:
Yep I could but my win7 x64 can't find the drivers. And btw restarted tablet again and it takes really long to connect to net. It connects a bit faster when I enable wifi let it connect and then disable it. And I think that the signal bars don't work because I've got signal at max all the time and I know that it's not true ;]

So if you could provide me the drivers I would gladly provide the logs.
[Acer Iconia A500] paugustin:
Installed the package and it's working fine. It feels faster than Acer build for A500. No bugs so far the build seems stable.

My only problem is that my A501 is lacking a baseband and therefor I cannot get 3G connection. I know the problem comes from my tablet, not from the ROM.

That said, if someone knows how to flash a baseband and can provide one I'll be glad (Modem is a Huawei EM770W).
[Acer Iconia A500] shchers:
Guys thanks for testing!

To paugustin:

Ericsson F5521gw and Huawei EM770W very similar (2G/3G modem + GPS), but EM770W also have serial audio I/O (see datasheet for details). It's sad when something doesn't work, but you have good chance to have voice call functions on your tablet;)
[Acer Iconia A500] shchers:
During the debug of GPS issue was found that this issue related lack of patch 24974d5dd4dd6203fb26109eb433aee4ccdf1b9a (see Git https://github.com/shchers/afs_vendor_mbm_libmbm-gps). All who won't wait for new package, can solve GPS issue manually, by running the next commands in console:
