[MENTION=7221680]stp123[/MENTION] I missed your post, sorry.

And, believe me, I understand where you're coming from. It's beyond frustrating. Clearly modifying the NV values is not enough, otherwise I think one of us would have found the right numbers by now.

And THIS is what really gets to me: I went through all the board manuals (all 5000 pages) and there was not a single mention of basebands. I eventually discovered a Qualcomm website that deals with 8690 baseband configurations exclusively. Signing up is impossible unless you basically have their approval. The front page even mentions the name of their new modem config tool, I've searched everywhere (including "questionable sites") and I've been unable to find it.

Clearly (and for whatever reason) Qualcomm is going through a lot of trouble to keep their phones tied to defined regions, which is ridiculous and prepostorous. I live in AR but I spend a lot of time in the UK, does QC expect me to buy tWO phones? I'm getting quite angry... Actually. I think we should all contact QC directly and ask for a solution. I don't expect worldwide LTE coverage of course, but being stuck with EDGE if you're outside the baseband area. At one point I got 3G (HdSpa) to work but Motorola's freaking Stagefright patch disabled it and sent me back to edge.

At any rate, some of us are working on this, so we'll find a solution eventually :)
[Moto G 2015 General] hp420:
I'm not familiar with .img modification, but I do know the Nexus 4 forum has a hybrid modified modem which utilizes old code from one of the first few updates released that had LTE band 4 enabled. Asking around there might prove worthwhile...there are quite a few people there who know what they're doing. And I imagine our modems aren't much different from theirs. It may be a different OEM's device, but they still have a strict set of guidelines they have to follow in order to pass Google's approval, for the sake of standardization.
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
Yeah, but this "image manipulation" was pretty simple stuff... inside the modem.img (which is really just a ZIP archive) file there was one file for the mobile radio, one for WiFi, and a few other misc binary files. Note that all are binary files and cannot be edited, we used to just swap the old .27 or .33 radio piece for the newer one and flashed it. There was no magic editing that was done, everything else was build.prop stuff.
[Moto G 2015 General] speedy197:
I installed an older retail GB 1541 and was getting H connections until I installed the OTA stagefright "update" which sent me back to EDGE again!!

As a side note, thanks for all the info guys, at least I've learnt a few things and, to be honest, I find it all very interesting. Do you recommend the Github shell, Genymotion or should I go ahead and double boot distro (no, I'm not fooling around with my phone). I've run the latest Mint in a virtual box and I'm blown away (and it blows Win10 out of the water too! Why isn't this thing more popular?).Were I was more familiar with how it works etc I'd definitely choose it over Windows. I suspect that more people would embrace Linux if it didn't have the "impossible for newbies" mystique.

Unlock Bands on Moto G XT1557

Hi I got the XT1557 (Indian Moto G Turbo Edition) and live in AR, thinking that 4G would work (Band 28) but in the city where I live the Band used is 4 (AWS). So I started some research and found all those "Unlock all Bands on Qualcomm..." I followed the QPST and added the CDMA 1900 frequency. My problem is I can't check if it works or not because the frequency 850 works too and if comes already enabled. Tried with the QXDM to enable Band 4 but nope :(

I've read here that you need to have the modem that supports the Band flashed too, so I am willing to test it in a week (since I'm not home now) and want to know if anyone could help me with some advice or something :)
[Moto G 2015 General] lexer98:
You can check what band are the phone using with QXDM Professional in the "Status(Dynamic)" tab :good:
[Moto G 2015 General] lexer98:
This is weird. I called my cellphone company to enable 4G to my surprise it works!!! , probably my company is now using the 700mhz band too but they not announced :eek:

.

Someone tried the XT1550 Retail Brazil on a XT1550 Asia, probably can unlock some bands ?
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
You can use the app LTE Discovery to see what band you are using.
[Moto G 2015 General] thomics99:
I called my company (Movistar) and they now nothing about Band 28, perhaps in the future of this year they will add it so i think i must wait and try if someone finds a way to enable new bands.
[Moto G 2015 General] markos_7772:
In Argentina, Band 4 and Band 28 are working. The problem is that the XT1541 has Bands 1, 3, 7, 8 and 20
[Moto G 2015 General] thomics99:
Yeah I know but I have XT1557 and it's got Band 28, but as I said my company has no information about 28...
[Moto G 2015 General] markos_7772:
Oh, sorry, I suposed you have the 1541. Argentina has band 4 an 28 availables for 4G, so in the future its probable that Movistar takes the 28 too..

Gracias [MENTION=7253851]thomics99[/MENTION], ya llame al servicio tecnico de Claro, y no pudieron hacer mucho al respecto, me terminaron dando el 0800 de Motorola, y me dijeron que lo podia llevar al servicio tecnico fisico de Claro para ver si podian hacer algo, no tuve la misma suerte que [MENTION=4813273]lexer98[/MENTION] con Personal.

Si llego a solucionarlo lo posteo, saludos.

English poorly translation =P

Thanks [MENTION=7253851]thomics99[/MENTION], I have called customer service of Claro, and they could not do much about, they gave me the 0800 Motorola phone number, and they told me that it could lead to physical Claro service to see if they could do something, didn't have the same luck as [MENTION=4813273]lexer98[/MENTION] staff.

So I'll post if I solve it, greetings.

[Moto G 2015 General] speedy197:
My original post disappeared. After poring over every single developer manual that I could find, I'm certain that this is is not a hardware limitation. Adding bands should be fairly straightforward for someone who knows their way around Linux, but I suspect that posting instructions publicly or providing files to flash (I'm guessing that flashing away is the method cellphone cos. use) would probably be unwelcome here. As a newbie, I'm not sure what's okay and what's unnacceptable in this forum. This issue aside, I find myself loving my (severely handicapped) Moto, and will probably move on to another Moto compatible with my area later this year (lesson learned, and in the meantime hopefully someone will find a way to unlock this model).

[Moto G 2015 General] rohnlex:
It's been over a month since the last reply, is there any news on this ?
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
I think we have all dropped this... Moto seems to have this locked down pretty well, without some kind of internal technical documentation, which likely won't happen, the chances of getting this working is nearly zero.
[Moto G 2015 General] speedy197:
I only gave up with the band thing because I lost my phone lol. I did eventually find the new tools.

Ultimately, however, I believe that the new logic is not very complicated, it makes sense actually. I'm quite sure that every phone carries all the relevant definitions (thus the heavy 5gb system file baggage) and each phone is simply told what model it is at startup. That's why it's okay to flash different firmware files or mess around with NV values without doing too much harm, as long as the root files are left intact, it's next to impossible to brick the phone.

Anyway, I sweet talked my phone company into giving me a free phone so now I'm stuck with a Lumia 640 (ugh!!). However I'll admit that, as much as I dislike the Lumia, it's nice to have working 4G and a sleeker phone so I'm unsure what to get next. Maybe I'll start a poll... Moto X Play vs anything that's not Samsung or Apple.

Regards!

I have a problem with the drivers, status code 10 with QC diag port, I can't get it working u_U
[Moto G 2015 General] FNetV1:
Its a shame that its so difficult to unlock the extra band that our XT1548 already supports hardware-wise because I travel around the world from time to time and I would like the ability to be able to roam on GSM networks using my CDMA XT1548 Osprey. I will attempt some prop.build modding to see what this leads me, maybe I might get to enable some GSM frequencies strictly by adding a few extra line of code to prop.build to my already rooted stock ROM that I can then switch to such a frequency on a need be basis through Radio Switcher 1.2.APK
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
Actually, I'm pretty sure the CDMA variants are different hardware, this why they dont have full GSM support, and why GSM ones can't use CDMA networks.
[Moto G 2015 General] FNetV1:
So you are saying that "we dont have full GSM support" does that mean that we have partial GSM support, as in I *MIGHT* be able to roam In GSM when I go traveling depending what's the frequency? Or are you referring a complete 100% not support for GSM?
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
I can't answer that question... I don't have the information to. We do know that the bands cannot be unlocked or changed with any knowledge we currently have in any G3 modem, in fact we don't even understand how they are locked or restricted, but we do know that the SD412 (Qualcomm 8916v2) SOC used in the Moto G 2015 does support GSM, CDMA, LTE, WCDMA, and EVDO all in the same chip.

The capability should be there to do all bands, but we don't know how, or if, that's even possible.
[Moto G 2015 General] FNetV1:
Oh ok understood.

I was checking out the following article:

internauta37.altervista.org/en/patch-fully-enable-gsm-cdma-global-phones-android

Titled "Patch to fully enable GSM on CDMA Global phones with Android"

With instructions to add a bunch of lines to /system/build.prop and then to flash a patch <<.APK>> through recovery (TWRP), whats your take on this in regards to the G3, do you think that this might help at least in SOME capacity? Example: being able to have access to one or maybe more UMTS/GSM bands that can be of help while roaming on some areas?
[Moto G 2015 General] acejavelin:
It won't work, at least I don't think so... We know the band restrictions are not a software or setting because flashing alternative firmware like 1540 on a 1543 or the reverse doesn't change the bands it can access, it something deeper than that. Some device always had the bands there, they basically turned off in Settings and restricted the visibility in the menus of being able to turn them back on, that is not the case here.

But if you want, do a full backup in TWRP, apply the patch(s) and try it, you could always just restore your backup... Look carefully at exactly what's patching though, if it's doing something outside of the regular rom partitions it could be dangerous.

Edit: I reviewed that link, looks pretty safe to try, but I wouldn't get your hopes up. :/
[Moto G 2015 General] sweetsuicides:
Hi, did you have any luck with that?
[Moto G 2015 General] UltraMaks:
Hi guys. I will try to refresh this page :) but frankly speaking I have not found the solution for me

So this is what I have

I have XT1540 phone from US in Europe/Belarus. Unfortunately we have here LTE Band 3 only that is missing in XT1540 (US version) but exists in XT1541 (Europe version)

I've spent through many things to get connected to NV values of my phone but finally I succeeded... So I started playing with it's values

I have read many instructions here at xda (and even discussed some things) here and here but was not able to change my LTE settings

I found a man who is using XT1541 version of the phone and asked him to read the XT1541 NV values and this is what I received

compare it with my original XT1540

I was able to modify these parameters using QXDM software but this did not help - I was able to use 3G and 2G only (no LTE). I started thinking that maybe together with changing NV alues I might need to flash XT5141 firmware instead of XT1540... And i did it! Now my phone is the one you can see it attach

But even now with NV values from XT1514 I stil have only 3G and 2G (if I switch to LTE only using *#*#4636#*#* I have no signal available)

So I have some questions (if anyone can help with ideas)

1. If I look into Baseband & System versions i see that there is a "retus(a)" present there... Maybe I need to flash the baseband from EU (XT1541) version? If yes, where can I get it? I was thinking that the baseband flashes together with a firmware, but I think now that I'm mistaken?

2. Do we need to do this before changing

setprop persist.usb.eng 1

and this after

setprop persist.usb.eng 0

If even without this commands all changed parameters remain changed after reboot

3. In this manual they tell to download the rmt_storage patch. I checked this patch and saw that it only changes(sets) permissions for rmt_storage

set_perm(0, 2000, 0755, "/system/bin/rmt_storage");

. But this tutorial is for OnePlus One phone so we probably may not need it

4. The tread is called Unlocking Bands in MOTO G 2015 (PARTIALLY WORKING) but I have not found any solution. Have I missed anything. Did anyone succeed in changing the bands?

Now I have bought Gen5+ phone so I can play with Gen3 for unlocking ДЕУб so if anyone want to share any ideas (information) I'd be very grateful to help our society :)

the real issue, when "Notes" hangs, i have to soft-reset, and in many cases i end up with the "forgotten password" issue, and have to hard-reset and do all settings, sync, apps install...etc again (painful..)

any of you went thru this? any expereince or help will be highly appreciated ..

I use the real QC fast charge 2.0 and it does work. You have to enable it on the kernel level to fully utilize it. I am using a custom AOSP ROM with the the Nebula Kernel, and Kernel Adiutor to enable the fast charging.

A word of warning, however: Do not leave it on the charger after it's charged and do not use the phone while its fast charging,

it will overheat the battery and possibly ruin it, or shut off the phone, or both.
