[FIX] Worse signal, dropped calls after installing new ROM

Hi all,
I've tried some rom and flash, and sometime i meet this probleme :
- get no or worse signal
- missed calls or dropped calls
- seems to get no 2g signal
Result => my phone became a pocket android....without gsm fonction...
Manytime i've saw other member met this problem....
So after many attemp, remplacing radio file in folder system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default has solved my problem for theses rom :
- Rooted and not froyo chinese rom
- JBoojie Eclair or Froyo (actually running)
- Milestone 2
- etc...
It work for me, so try it !
I've made a zip upgrade via Recovery mode with my working radio file (comes from original EU Eclair rom v2.34)
Please feeback
PS : i was using this source http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/1596785
EDIT : fix confirmed by EU users

I'll try....
as I havn't found the file you providing here, I've got a question: Where are the radiofiles from (US ROM, Netherlands ROM....) ???

I've got the China 2.2 ROM running here, and I've made a file check. 4 of those 14 files are different to your files, but NOT by filesize.
Those files are:
File_Audio2
File_Audio8
File_GSM
File_Seem_Flex_Tables
I'm going to get those files from a 2.34 Central Europ ROM also to make this check again... stay tuned
Edit: those 2.34 Files exactly match your files.

Yes i've use 2.34, it has solve all my worse signal issue with many rom.
It could work only with my french operator, i don't know if it's needed for all ?
Also, try this if you are european user and if you meet signal problm after installing new modified froyo rom, it work for me.

It seems like that is only a display iussue. For me it always show "3G", instead of "H" but when I use *#*#4636#*#* it shows either UMTS or HSPA depending if the telephone uses HSPA or not.

Thanks man!!!
it works perfectly for Vodafone Germany with Orange Deblur BlurlessGingerFroyo 4(Final) Rom!!!

Thank you!
After I replaced all the files in system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default , my 2G signal is back.
I am from Bulgaria/Globul, very new in this Andro-things, but before few days I rooted my Motorola Defy+.
I also did some things that I am not 100% sure what...changing rom, upgrading and etc...
However
Android version is 2.3.6
Model number: MB526
Baseband version: EPU93_U_00.60.03
System version: 45.0.2310.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03

Updating E986 with the official 'kitkat' 4.4.2 Firmware Release

edit:
Lg Server is up again:
here the official E986 kitkat 4.4.2 update:
http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW428306432109876543213/E98620A_00.kdz
Some of the things you will get with this E986 firmware upgrade :
+ support for a large number of european languages
+ well working samba server
+ well working Windows "LG On-Screen Phone"
+ knock-off screen
+ free 50 gb cloud storage at "box" and other goodies when registering at "LG Smart World" app
+ adaptive network settings tailored on measure for the european provider landscape .
(There are user reports indicating that LTE services of some smaller providers are not integrated into the system yet)
please see post #4, #5 for further informations as well as cloud storage links to the E986 upgrade
Some general Information:
A majority of the posts here and in other gpro threads come from people that apparently dont use this device .
It is one of the sequels of swiss government's/parapolice's sell-out of LG stakes that they were once keeping. Unfortunately along with this my wife is kept now for the 15th consecutive year fully illegally imprisoned at the vienna airport(where i am right now)
...guess I had to give you an idea where most of the absurdity in this thread comes from.
Sorry

what is the fewest sour kitkat on e986?
deleted:
explanation in the following post

A turkish e986 kitkat update seems to be published.
Where is it available?
Since the e986 update situation is still rather difficult, it would be fine to have a place where relevant information is neatly collected and displayed.
edit:
As reported by smartphenom.com the update was already published in mid july.
Some bizare internet users (but certainly not GPro owners) called it "turkish rom", so that many GPro owners (like myself ) wouldn't be aware of it.
At least we know now for certain that LG did the job and some other bizare people that wanted to harm us E986 owners for reasons we will never understand tried (and still try) to hide it.

luckily this thread is at the point of getting pointless:
here is the inofficial release of the first official e986 kitkat firmware (it supports an amazingly large number of european languages )
the precise version denomination:
E98620a-EUR-XX
From my dropbox:
E98620A_00.kdz
From my Mega account:
E98620A_00.kdz
size:

sha-1: 60D5ED0FB2A139C96D791644045F8CE856C8F9B4
to get a data/internet connection:
Settings->Tethering & networks->Mobile networks->Access point names->tap menu button->chose "New APN"->fill in the first 2 lines:
do not think too much about it, the software does it for you as soon as there is anything filled into the first 2 lines of the access point settings form;
try something like: mydata
then tap menu button and "save".
note :
APN settings can be easily cleared to prevent unwanted [costly] data connections --> your GPro will then behave like a traditional GSM phone.

let me say the official e986 kitkat update is really good
[and..we all know by now how much better life would taste without illegal preservatives (police ****)]
in case the LG server is too busy:
E98620A_00.kdz
..

the empire strikes back
Very sadly the dark side continues to deny the existence of the very fine E-986 4.4.2 update. [download links in post 4&5]
Have a look at the "kitkat ..soon official" thread to be introduced to contemporary strategies of disinformation.
May the power be with you
so that life gets at least a chance to be good to all of us!
But now it is up again:

Does it delete the data when i flash this?
Sent from my LG-E986 using XDA Free mobile app

well..
according to my personal experience the data partition will not be overwritten by the LG update software. This is also the reason why a full reset after flashing might help if something doesn't work as it should.
So... it is certainly a good idea to backup as well and as much as possible beforehand.

With Jelly-Bean and Kitkat E-986 stock firmware the 4g option will only show up when your sim-card is allowed to hook into the LTE service.

Yes. As it is a flash by lgflashtool it should wipe anything . Dont think you need to do a manual format be4 flashing.

What I definitely could observe is that the network settings menu on e986 stock kitkat changes with different network providers.
i.e with hutchinson "3" in Austria which doesn't provide 2g/GSM in the more populated areas [and switches to 2G only on the countryside], the "2G only" options disappear from the network settings menu and the network mode pop-up window. [To display them as non available would be more customer friendly, I guess]
Anyway I can't believe that there are GPro users who honestly believe being better off in Europe with a taiwanese firmware.

According to smartphenom.com the firmware was released on july 17, 2014 for the original 'Aturbk' package.
Since people called it consequently "turkish rom" instead of "first firmware release" LG didn`t get any support from the users to withstand the pressure from those police/stasi weirdos that messed up this thing.
I guess in our own interest we shouldn't call this official release "rom" anymore if we want LG to link it to all the other original packages.

What have you done? Did you flash E98620a or E98820a?
If you flash E98620a (turkish) then you might wont see 4g option.
If you flash E98820a (asian) then you will get 4g option but only english language
and some asian languages

[Q] Looking for official 4.2.2 (hungary, open) for 8.0 LTE SM T315

Hello,
My father "accidentally" updated his Samsung tab 3 8.0 LTE SM T315 to official 4.4.2, but he don't like it and he got many errors with 3rd party softwares like iGo and Solid Explorer, etc...
We would like to downgrade to previous (official 4.2.2) ROM.
Can anyone link a network independent (so not Telenor, Vodafone, T-mobile) ROM with hungarian support?
(Btw what happens if we installing a ROM of provider (for example, Telenor)?)
Thanks in advance and sorry for bad english knowledge

Normally, nothing should be messed. But the connection speed may increase or decrease if you use such roms. You can also lose your radio (SIMCard support).
Good Luck.

It's difficult to answer this question without knowing your exact Phone model ....
For my part , I can only speak for myself ....
Galaxy S4 Mini Duos ( 9192 )
Baseband : I9192UBUCOI2
Cyanogen 12.1
Works like a charm , no issues whatsoever and good battery life ( Better then stock 4.2.2 )
Cheers,
Claude

Usually "best" modem is the one that is used in a country closer to u
So if your phone is 9192 then look at this :
- DDU*** - India / Nepal / Sri Lanka / Bangladesh
- UBU*** - Brazil / Trinidad and Tobago / Chile / Panama
- XXU*** - Kazakhstan / Ukraine / Uzbekistan / Saudi Arabia / Russia / Pakistan / Egypt /
South Africa / Kenya / Algeria / Tunisia / Iraq, etc - Can be used for rest of Europe

is OCT the region? (letters that come straight after model number) I don't recognise it, maybe a European one?
I think Opera will still send data to their servers even when you are not in data saving mode, so probably not the best way to judge modem performance. Other apps should also be affected. Try run a speed test/network app.
Not all modems work well with all ROMs even if region is correct, update modem or try slightly older one if already on newest,

From my personal experience I've tried various different official stock roms from United Arab Emirates, Germany, UK, Panama, New Zealand, South Africa and Italy. I have not seen any differences in language selection apart from all of them not having English (Canada), and some of them still have the option to charge 80 percent in the second latest update!

I do but its an August firmware (N930FXXU1BPHA) that we cannot use anymore. I've tried flashing it over any September or later updated roms but always get an error on Odin. It's useless if you're on a September or later rom in other words lol. The only way to get back 100% is flash Hydra.

I am new to all this stuff, I also tried to flash older stock rom but got error message, what I got from this is if you find out the way to install older bootloader on your phone then you can flash older stock rom, so far I m looking for that but could not find any guide on this.

I think your modem software is more important to your local region. I had the original english FD version from Singapore and switched to the local F version where I currently live. And my internet speed just tripled. ?
