Download AFV from android market and check the MD5 Hash of system.img. Change the token in nandroid.md5.

PS: I didnt read the other topic... no links on mobile.
[Milestone 2 General] IroMan007:
Hi, I made the new hash: a19f75003c646a9718c3d5609fad717f but I changed it and keep telling me the same. Maybe I'm not doing the MD5 as it should be, can you please tell me how to do it, step by step, first time for this. Thanks again.
[Milestone 2 General] IroMan007:
I'm lost now, I erased the nandroid.md5 file and then I ran again the AFV and now comes back the MD5 you posted. I'm sure I don't know how to make it. Thanks again.
[Milestone 2 General] IroMan007:
Also, I have managed to flash a Brazilian SBF but the GSM conexion comes in and out, that's why I returned the UK flash, do I need the Brazilian ROM to flash this image? Thanks again for all your time and help.
[Milestone 2 General] dangpzanco:
Well, I think this should work:

What's the name of the folder you put the files?

It can't be "The Folder", it has to be "TheFolder", no spaces or it says MD5 sums Mismatched

Try this name "2011-01-09.01.46.31".

Check with the md5hasher, just to be sure.
[Milestone 2 General] IroMan007:
Thanks for all your time and all the teaching. I did everything by the book, I copy/paste the folder name and double checked that had no space, I also checked the MD5 with the script you sent me, now it says that the MD5 Mismatched!!! after a minute of "thinking".

I'm gonna try to flash a Brazilian SBF and on top of it this image. I'm trying to think outside the box but there nothing that can I imagine. Thanks again.
[Milestone 2 General] dangpzanco:
Hey could you upload that SBF? The link is off for now on...

Edit: Now I got it, forget it.
[Milestone 2 General] IroMan007:
Thanks, I downloaded the SBF from that link, I first installed the Brazilian and I installed back the UK. I've read a lot and nothing seems to fit what is wrong here.

Do you still want me to upload the SBF?

I really appreciate your posts.
[Milestone 2 General] IroMan007:
I reflashed the Brazilian SBF that I downloaded from the link you posted and didn't let me do nothing, is unbranded but didn't let me ROOT it or nothing, I had to change again to the UK SBF.
[Milestone 2 General] dangpzanco:
Well there's another option, I think.

Paste the zipped files in /etc/motorola/bp_nvm_defaut and reboot.

You need Root Explorer and to mount system as r(ead)/w(rite).

It works for Motorola Defy, as I know.

Backup your baseband files in case it doesn't work.

[Milestone 2 General] dangpzanco:
Those are the source files for motorola devices, you can build a rom from scratch with that, I think, and android source.

If the root didn't work, wait for Angdroid to finish the Fission Rom for Milestone 2, for now it doesn't have radio functions, but his device (and Rom) has the baseband you need.

Hi IroMan007,

I'm not sure if the Brazilian baseband work for you, but I found this app that help switching between different basebands. The app requires root privilege, and was in Chinese. I tried to translate it into English, hopefully it will work for you.

[Milestone 2 General] r2beta0:
Hi,

I've flashed my Milestone2 with the Brazilian Retail SBF (many times in fact :P) and I've rooted it without any Issues. Have you tried to root with z4root? You can find it here on XDA for free. Also make sure you have "USB Debugging" turned on and that your phone is NOT connected to the USB while rooting. You should be fine :)
[Milestone 2 General] IroMan007:
Now that I've been playing with the UK and Brazilian ROM's, I have noticed that when I flash the UK ROM I can get the signal for Telcel and only EDGE, when I flash the Brazilan ROM I cannot get signal at all, I started looking up and I noticed that my net was not added on the nets in the phone, I had to add it manually for Telcel is 334-020. Maybe I need a Brazilian or Latin America ROM that has the baseband for Telcel. Is there anyone for Argentina? Also, how long it takes to recognize the net? Maybe I'm not waiting enough time to register. All help clarifying this matters will be greatly appreciated as always.

Thats 2.3 (Gingebread) i downloaded it to test something.. now that i dont need it.. i just put it there if any1 else does need it..

Also 3G/HDSPA works from any ROM ... i can use 3G on Australian/Brazil/UK roms , even though im from Germany
[Milestone 2 General] IroMan007:
Hi, Do you have Spanish in the German ROM? if so, where can I downloaded it? I will test it for sure.

Also the baseband change app is not working for me :( I only get EDGE and is very very slow.
[Milestone 2 General] r2beta0:
Have you tried MoreLocale app? It have the ability to add other languages to your phone. It is available on market for free. You can also try ApnDroid to see if you can get 3g instead of edge.

I found on DeadSix17 site the ROM's, I'm downloading them now. I'll test them and post my findings, also I'll install the apps that r2beta0 is suggesting. I love testing !!!!

Just to let you know that the chinese app for changing baseband didn't work for me and that the other app, ApnDroid, only turns off and on the apn, no matter what kind is it. :confused:
[Milestone 2 General] IroMan007:
I'm not going to leave this until we solve it. I know this is going to be helpful for many people here.

I went to my service provider and changed the SIM to the latest one, when I changed Baseband to Brazil, I noticed that all the list of providers dissapeared and that I cannot add anyone. If I change to UK Baseband I have all the favorite providers and also the list of providers to choose from. The question is, can I export this list of providers from the UK Baseband to the Brazil one?

Maybe this is the problem, because when I try to find a provider it says there are non on the air, even the ones that air on the bands that use the other frecuencies.

Thanks again for the help.

Hello forum!

I just got my MM2 today and I can't get 3G :s my carrier's (Orange Dominicana) 3G works on 900Mhz. Please somebody help me :'( I have a MM and a MM2 here @ home, both with the same problem!
[Milestone 2 General] IroMan007:
Maybe this one works for you http://santiemanuel.grupoandroid.com/stuff/tests/MS2BS.apk

Just remember to Backup your existing baseband, if fails you can restore yours.

What ROM are you using?
[Milestone 2 General] XanoZuke:
I'm using stock ROM. I've only rooted my phone and installed bootstrap, nothing else. I tried with the baseband changer apk but it doesn't works :/ any chance the so-called 3G fix for the Defy might work with this phone? Or does the Baseband changer do the sames?
[Milestone 2 General] IroMan007:
Hasn´t worked for me either, I'm using UK Baseband with Santiemanuel ROM, but with the original is the same, I have researched and here in Mexico all Motorola Androids have -76xxc-63805017-sdcbalum- Baseband, I'm looking if this can be changed to the Milestone 2, I also only have EDGE.

I'll continue my travels by Internet, I hope I can find the solution.

How did you get that baseband serial? I can't compare cause this cellphone is not on sale in my country :P Still, it should work with my carrier's 3G :(

The MM2 is not for sale either here, I went to my Cell provider and they showed me the Motorola Android Phones and all 3 they had, had that Baseband. Maybe it could be changed but I'm no sure.

Also, the link you post directs me to the MM1, I don't know if will work for the MM2.

Hi Ironman007

I also have a Milestone 2 (from expansys USA) that I am trying to use with Telcel in Mexico.

Earlier on the thread you mention you flashed the Brazilian SBF and that it worked, but you returned to the UK sbf beacause the Brazilian one couldn't be rooted. So, it works in Mexico (Telcel) but the only problem is it cant be rooted? your comments will be highly appreciated Paisano.

[Milestone 2 General] IroMan007:
Hi,

Sorry for the delay on answering.

My problem, and I think is yours also, is that I cannot get 3G signal, only EDGE.

I can root the Brazilian SBF, but I cannot get signal for it, sometimes I can get 3G but the most of the time it looses the signal completely.

Now I have the Brazilian SBF rooted with the UK baseband.

It's working on EDGE but is not bad at all.

If you need something further, don't hesitate to PM me.

Kindest regards Paisano.

Hi all,

I'm new here and new owner of a MM2 (Model A953 unlocked bought in USA ), everything works fine with the only detail is that I only get EDGE connection. I've been reading this forum looking for an option to change the bands to my MM2 but its really complicated, the information is wide and varied mostly because it's my first andriod phone.

I tried almost all programs that changes baseband but without any result

My Build Number is MILS2_U6_2.4.24 with the stock ROM, I'm in Venezuela with the carrier Movistar to get 3G or H i need to be in the band 850/1900/2100.

So, Do I have to get a custom rom to changes the baseband?

I would greatly appreciate your support

Did you solved it?

I have the same problem, my sgs wont connect to 3G only edge, I tried to change my baseband with baseband switcher and it says "Unable to detect your baseband configuration, it's damaged possibly, reset to default?" So I did but it still wont connect and every time I open baseband switcher it says the same so it didn't reset it to default configuration.
[Milestone 2 General] dex27:
Same happened to me or the signal is too low to connect to the carrier when i used the baseband switcher. Switching from 900/2100 to 850/1900/2100 dont work in my phone! always i had to came back to 900/2100 to get my phone working properly

My conclusion the problems is a hardware limitation, not in the basedband files.

Other option try with a diferrent carrier with the same baseband of the cellphone. Work for me. :P the last resort (too easy)
[Milestone 2 General] AlexcoolPERU:
same problem here in Peru

Hello, i've read all your posts regarding the 3g issue in latinamerica. i have to say that i can not get the 3g signal too.

i live in Lima, Peru and use movistar, i've tried to switch the carrier to claro. (my gf gets H 3.5G on a samsung galaxy) and in my phone i still get the anoying E.

So what can we do? I'm planning to visit my carrier (movistar) tomorrow and make them solve the problem.

did the "mexican" paisano, solve his problem? I'll post if my carrier finishes the problem or not.
[Milestone 2 General] dex27:
Well, i changed to another carrier that at 900Mhz on gsm and 3g.

Whats the difference and what are the benefits of RFS and EXT4? Sorry if it's been posted already. I'm on my phone and it didnt pull up anything.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiGi760:
Ext4 is supposed to write back quicker and avoid cache write-back lag. Also, the no-journal mod makes it write to disk less. This, in theory, should make the phone snappier. Some people say it ext4 works wonders. Others have had strange lag problems. Personally, I didn't notice much difference and am sticking to ext4 for now. It is arguably a better file system than rfs, which is just fat32 with some journaling that samsung added to it.

Depends in the rom you are running. Most roms you can find your kernel listed in settings, about phone.

There are some roms that do not display the kernel correctly.

Voodoo

Look for a folder on your sd called voodoo. If there is one go inside. If there is a folder called

didable-lagfix delete, delete it, then reboot phone. Voodoo will be enabled.

Speedmode

Go into recovery

Advanced ulk options

Lag fix

Bottom of screen should list your current configuration.

if it is all rfs, lag fix not enabled

If the top three are ext 4, lash fix enabled. To enable if not already choose enable, back, reboot system, then a screen that says your settings have changed, click top option, should be yes

True, but if it's not enabled, it will be a lower number. If it is, it will be higher. Duh, common sense.

Easiest way to check is to boot into recovery and check if it's rfs or and ext2/ext4/jfs variation that was mentioned earlier. If it has rfs, then no the lagfix is not enabled.

when i go into recovery mode, and select backup / restore, should i be selecting backup "data" or backup "all"? what is the difference?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
I believe backup data will just backup your user apps and basic data on sd. Backup all baghdad up system apps and data as well. Significance is that you would not want to restore all if you were not running the same rom
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsu:
So if i would like to restore my phone to the state it is in now, would i be doing a backup "Data" or backup "all"?

when i go into recovery -->backup/restore --> backup, it says backup and restore data is recommended, and that backup and restore all was "use at own risk" or something along that line.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
If you are looking to restore your current state on rom "x" down the line, our if you are playing with themes and something goes wrong you would restore all. To be honest I am not sure why you would ever restore just data, that is why I use titanium backup.

You would not want to restore a backup from rom x onto rom y

I only do nandroid backups if I am planning on playing with themes
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsu:
hmm. so I shouldnt be using nandroid backup/restore to get back to where i originally was if i was testing out a different rom?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
I think you have me backwards

If you are running phoenix rom, but wanted to try paragon, you could do a nandroid backup of phoenix so that your set up on that rom is saved. Try paragon, but maybe it uss not for you, so you go back to phoenix. now you can restore your nandroid after you reflashed phoenix to get your settings and apps back. You can not restore the phoenix backup while on paragon. Well actually you could but it will likely cause issues

Now if you wanted to play with themes and you try one out and tower phone won't boot. You can go back to recovery and restore to get rid of the theme
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dsu:
So that means i should always "reflash" back to phoenix rom before restoring my backup onto phoenix?

in this case, would i be using the "restore/backup data" or the "restore/backup all" from the recovery menu? like i said earlier, there is a recommendation in the menu to use backup/restore data and a warning with backup/restore all.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Yes you would reflash phoenix

Backup all, I believe the warning is to prevent you from restoring all from one rom to another.

Ok, I have a backup from stock 2.1. I am running paragon which is 2.2.1. If I try to restore my stock backup I will likely get stock in a boot loop and will have to use odin to recover. I believe, note believe, that if I restored just data I would be ok because I would not be restoring any system information. I use titanium to back up my apps, so I do not see a use for the option
