"Fed up with waiting for the UK Xoom 3G update to 3.1"
I got mine first thing this morning following an empty update last night but thanks anyway!
Paul, why do we need to update the baseband?
Paul, thanks for the image, however I'm having some problems and I am hoping you can help.
I have a verizon MZ601 xoom, and did a clockworkmod install of your zip, in an attempt to "switch the baseband" from CDMA to UMTS.
(I believe there are no hardware diferences since MDM6600 is multi-baseband)
Untill now, I was unable to find a different baseband image.
I have however cross flashed (fastboot) EU GSM versions (without baseband updates) and they worked fine. Hence I am not worried taking the risk.
Anyway, the thing is, I had US wifi only version with android 3.2
I installed your zip, with clockworkmod, reboot - stuck at boot screen (with honeycombs)
I did have ADB shell, but dont know what to check... (log?)
I tried cat on /dev/log/... but they are binary or something(?)
Ofcourse I can restore back to US working versions, but I really wanted to try your baseband update!
So I rebooted to recovery, did a wipe/cache clean return factory defaults, and managed to boot.
The problem now is that I dont have root anymore and I can not run your baseband upgrade!
Should I go with typical root steps for UK, 3.1 version ?
Should I drop the whole thing ?
Maybe If I had a baseband update "alone" so I can apply in on a UK fastboot images flash, and hopefully convert my CDMA to UMTS ?
Any feedback is welcome.
Thanks!
UPDATE:
ok I rooted the device, and runned the "baseband update"
It gives me a window asking "Reboot to recovery?" I press "yes" and It takes me to clockworkmod recovery ....
where is the upgrade ? how is it initiated ?
Shouldn't this updated replace the clockworkmod recovery partition ?
Am I missing something ?

Correct, it should reflash the stock patched recovery - let me look into it.

Thanks
I'm really exited ! ...
I'm a few clicks away from either switching the baseband - or bricking my device!
Great
Ok, this is what I did….
I pulled the Baseband update utility apk from the rom, installed it into Verizon 3.1, updated the busybox, and started the Baseband update utility……the xoom booted into the patched version of the stock recovery and the updating started but failed at the middle
assert failed: moto.update_cdma_bp(“/tmp/bp_rdl.bin”, “/tmp/bp.img”)
E:Error in /cache/update.zip

i have a3g us verizon xoom. but i'm outside us. may i install this rom ? is there any GSM baseband available? may i use sim card slot for gsm network? does my xoom's hardware support it?
thanks a lot
Hey Paul,
glad to see you providing ROMs for the xoom as well. I started flashing your ROMs on my Hero a long time ago.
Anyway, I have an UMTS/3G issue with your ROM. Unlocking SIM works, entering a new APN for Vodafone Germany works as well. The connection bar on the bottom left shows me a solid (grey) H, but it never turns blue. I can't get any traffic through it. It works on Tiamat 2.0 (euro) and stock.
It's not SIM-card related, because I switched my XOOM SIM card with the one in my DHD, didn'T change anything. Working with my DHD, not working with my XOOM.
It's not APN related, although I thought about it in the first place. I dumped the working APN list from stock ROM (and from CM7 DHD as well) and restored it on your ROM. Rebooted. Nada, still no traffic coming through.
Any ideas? I think it could be baseband related, but how to dump the baseband from unrooted stock?
BTW: do you need some more APNs for your ROM? I made a dump with an app called APN backup.
Guys any news on the baseband update (and potentially switch) app ?

i have not any problem with calling and messeging
only wifi and cellular data apn setup doesnt work
doesnt it brick my phone if i downgrade it ?
where i can find official nitro hd android 2.3.5 kdz file?
i prefer to use ics
Try the Unbrick method in this LINK . After that i would suggest downloading Hono stock rooted Att rom. When I have a problem unbiricking ,even though its not bricked fixes a lot of my issues.Best of luck!
Hi fellow xdaers,
have been a while since i last flash / rooted an android device.
i have a T805Y running KitKat when I bought it from Telstra (Australia). i have then flash the generic Lollipop ROM (T805YDOU1BOG1_T805YXSA1BOG1_T805YDOU1BOG1_HOME) using Odin.
since then, i am having random lose of 4G connection and no way of getting back my mobile connection until a reboot.
does anyone knows if I can load a Telstra modem (perhaps a modem from KitKat using Odin (not rooted). my suspicion is that the gneric Lollipop ROM is not liking Telstra 4G sim card. i have to restart my T805Y every 2 days. disabling mobile network/enable flight mode still does not work for me.
my access point is telstra.wap.
when the 4G connection goes offline, i am not able to make any changes to APN/network mode. when i select network operators, it says 'can't connect'
restart is the only choice for me.
Thank you.
If you find out let me know please. I have the same model and would like to install custom roms but I think our model has the extra 700mhz LTE band needed for Telstra 4GX.
Just ran the RUU and the HTC M8 Firmware package for GPE only to have my mobile data stop connecting despite the fact texting and calling still functions. Trying to access APN's in settings lead to an error message saying the user could not view apns. I've since added my own to my providers specifications to no avail. Any suggestions?
nothing yet
Still attempting to resolve this tried changing firmware to sense and using the ROM as opposed to the RUU but the issue persists at this point It's likely I'll have to find a different rom

Hi,
I had been running my M8 for quite some time with GPE rom (not converted, eg firmware and radio from sense) in german vodafone network with no complaints. I then moved over to smartmobil which is part of Drillisch. And they are operating in the Telefonica network. Since then my connection went crazy. I guess that's because of the fact that Telefonica is integrating two networks, O2 and E-Plus. I reverted back to Sense and now everything is running smoothly. Don't know if this is of any help but I too would love to go back to GPE...
have your seen the last entry in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57453624&postcount=2 ?
I "Finally" successfully rooted my HTC m9 after a couple of years and one failed attempt that bricked it about a year ago. The original device was bought as a carrier unlocked developer edition. This was my first mistake because I did not realize that Wi-Fi calling was unavailable in this version, and that was an important feature to me!
I rooted using Magisk (s-on) and installed the latest VenomRom (as of a few weeks ago). Unfortunately the Wi-Fi calling still does not work and I have not figured that out yet (any ideas?)
Today I tried to use the oem Wi-Fi hotspot switch and when I go to the settings - more - mobile network sharing, and pull the slide switch to enable mobile hotspot, the switch moved to the right but the "off" never turned to on, and it all remained grayed out! After finding this issue I tried modifying the default.XML (to remove carrier tether lock) file as described in another thread I found but that did not change / fix the problem.
Does anybody have any ideas to help me overcome any of these issues???
Thanks!
