I'm having issues with my radio.It allows me to make calls but I'm not able to connect to the data network. I am able to get Wifi.
I have a baseband version I9020XXKD1 with stock Rom which i've been reading has been giving alot of people issues.
I've read where people flash with Cyanogenmod 7.0.3 which fixes the issues but also alot of people have bricked their phone by doing this?
What is the best method of getting this fixed? I'm not sure how this works but can I use the KB3 on my device? Also read that reverting back to 2.3.3 fixes the issues with the radio but not sure if I want to do that either. What ever i end up doing, i just don't want to brick my device and have the radio working as it should.
Any suggestions?

who is your service provider? im using the kd1 radio without any issues whatsoever. that is a tmobile radio btw. you dont want to flash cyanogenmod 7.0.3 anyways, that is an old version. youd want to flash the latest cyanogenmod nightly.
I'm in the Cayman Islands and the provider is LIME. I believe their 3G band frequency is 1900/2100. Does the Nexus S support that or do I have to do something with the radio/modem on my phone to get it working?

tmobile uses 1700mhz. for 1900 you need an att version. i9020t is tmo i9020a is the att version.
there must be something I can do to get it working with that band. Getting another phone is not really an option.

honestly, i dont think you can do anything. go to the main phone settings, wireless and networks, mobile networks.. enable 2g only(edge), check to see if you get any data. you might get edge.
Hi guys I need help or info about this Ive always wanted Motorola Xoom wifi only but I received Verizon one with 3g not upgraded to lte . I rooted it and installed ics for the wifi only system from Google or android website its stock ..
And works actually very well no 3g ..nothing about service I don't mind since I'm not with Verizon and not planning to go with them I just need wifi but my question is ...is it right I mean everything works good only the battery It seems like honeycomb stock verizon build battery stays longer is it because of wifi only ice version ..or something I'm not sure if somebody can help me with info
Hmmm ... me too. I have a Xoom tablet arriving this week, and it was listed as "MZ600 Xoom, LTE ready, Verizon". Which rom version should I install? I do not plan to activate it with Verizon, as I already have a dinc running CM7 nightly build 258, and waiting for ics. I would just like to run ics on the Xoom. If I don't activate the Xoom, which rom should I use, or CAN I use??
If both of you are not planning to activate with Verizon, using a Wifi only ICS ROM won't be a bad idea. I too have installed this to a friend of mine and he hasn't experienced any issues. You will not be missing out of any features because the only main difference is the 3g / LTE radio.
So anyone has seen the stock ICS for the xoom 3G version?
AFAIK wifi only is the only model to get an official update. Running the wingray build on cdma or lte is just fine.
Hi fellow Xoom owners.
I'm having this issue with my 3G Xoom that I can't just get past.
As soon as FedEx handed me my internet-ordered tablet, I started looking into rooting methods and all.
Strangely, even though I live in Saudi Arabia, I received it with the US firmware, kernel or whatever it's actually called (MZ600 - XOOM WITH WI-FI + VERIZON 3G Build HRI66) which I didn't know at the time it was Verizon's but was wondering why 3G didn't work.
Anyway, I followed a rooting tutorial without paying attention to the build which got my Xoom stuck into the Moto logo thing.
Following tutorials into how to restore it, I downloaded the right build for Saudi Arabia (MZ601 - XOOM WITH WI-FI + UMTS Build H.6.1-38-9 for Retail Other International) which worked like a charm and with 3G!
Since, at that point I was already out of warranty, I flashed a Tiamat ROM and worked great but without 3G (bummer!).
Going through ROM trials, I'm now on Team EOS Verizon 4G ICS ROM but, as you've already guessed, no 3G for me (duh!).
I noticed that Team EOS are also working on a MZ601 ROM which should have worked to my favor of regaining 3G back but is somwhy isn't.
Bottom line of the story, I want to regain my 3G back while staying on an ICS ROM, preferably Team EOS's .
It's way better than the Honeycomb it came with and I'm not ready to lose all my game save files again!
Please help me.
The Link you provided in you post (Team EOS Verizon 4G ICS ROM)- That Build is not for your Device, as you device is not MZ602 with 4G LTE. Seeing that you received a US MZ600 Xoom that is actually CDMA and not GSM, it is suprising that the MZ601 UMTS worked for you. But since you say that it worked:
Try this one Team EOS ICS, EU 3G Xoom (umts_everest / MZ601)

I've already tried that ROM and for some reason it did't work.
Though on earlier versions, it used to give me a certain error which goes something like "phone.android.'something' stopped working" but now it doesn't.
As for the build I received it with, I haven'y the slightest idea how that happened!
I even took a picture of of my tablet before rooting in case anything went wrong... here.
Check this thread, you can try out Umts Everest - Euro & also Stingray 3G, as you are having CDMA xoom

Seems promising but gives me the "502 Bad Gateway" BS.
I'll try a bit later or will look for other sources.
EDIT: BTW, since I'm already on ICS, I don't need to factory reset, right?
yea there seems to be an issue with the download links.
its better to do a clean install, you can always backup your apps & data.
Since you brought it, how can I make a backup of my data?
By data I mean game saves 'cuz that's what I can't afford to lose {: s
I wanted to install CM9 on my Galaxy SII but stopped at the same data backup problem.
And, isn't there any tool to use on my PC to backup apps & data and manage my device ROMs... etc?
Titanium backup is one of the best apps to backup data and apps in my experience. You can find it on the play store. Also im not sure if you can buy the pro key for it but it makes reinstalling everything a breeze. Can you still connect to wifi?

@fredrick
RedXXII already gave the answer which i was gonna say. titanium backup is the best, you can backup & restore app + data easily. you just need a rooted device to use titanium backup.
So guys, let me get this straight:
You're saying that an MZ600 Xoom will work on a 900/1800 3g network just by flashing it with a european rom? I thought this was impossible
thread starter himself said that he flashed a 3G rom, which worked for him
I downloaded the right build for Saudi Arabia (MZ601 - XOOM WITH WI-FI + UMTS Build H.6.1-38-9 for Retail Other International) which worked like a charm and with 3G!

that's y its suggested to him to flash euro 3G rom
I have absolutely no idea how this happened.
I bought it from an Arabic online store for use in my country but received with a different ROM.
After restoring my tablet from the Moto logo error, I restored it to the official international firmware and it started working AND with Arabic support!
Maybe seller ordered the wrong software on the right hardware???

Agreed. The electronics involved in GSM and CDMA is definitely different. I think that is why his data never worked in the first place
OK.
I finally found working links for the codename android ROM v1.6.0 and tried the stingray 3G and the umts and none worked.
Any idea on what could be done at this point?
I re-checked the data bearers of both International and European firmwares and they are exactly the same.
Couldn't there be something like a missing driver or so that would make my Xoom recognize the carrier?
Or alternatively, isn't there a way to unlock it to any carrier supporting the same data bearers?
This is puzzling me for some time now. I have an MZ600 (Verizon 3G without the 4g upgrade) but I live in Europe. I know that MZ600 has Qualcomm MDM6600 which supports both cdma and umts. So I thought that using it in Europe would be as easy as switching Team Eos rom from "stingray_cdma / MZ600" to "umts_everest/MZ601" . I had the idea that this would change the baseband and I will manage to register on a 3g (european) network. Sadly, this isn't true and I'm still puzzled whether this is even possible or I haven't found the right way yet.
So to sum things up:
Is Qualcomm MDM6600 capable for both cdma & umts?
Is so, does anyone know someone that managed to get the MZ600 to register on a umts 3g network ?(you may see the signal of 3g but you cannot register)
If anyone can shed some light regarding this issue, it would be nice .
Check product specs for your original country and current place of use.
I believe they have totally different data bearers.
But, who am I to say?
I'm the one with a paradox over here!
so mr. Fredrick Sylar
what version of the xoom do you use...? the MZ600? or the MZ601?
well anyone ......?
have a look at this guys....

Hey xda!
I'm getting a SGS3 soon, and I was wondering if getting the i9300T model (as i've only been able to find T models) is worth getting, especially if I'm considering installing a custom ROM (cyanogen) to then use it only for calling and texting via my OPTUS network (SIM), would I have to flash another modem on to it JUST to get the network to work (e.g. texts and calls), or would I only flash another modem on to improve the 3g internet speeds.
As i'm not looking to use 3g Internet on my i9300T with Optus SIM, would I be good to go without flashing any modem on?
I'm kinda new here, so please go easy on me if I've mistaken anything,
Any help or guidance would be appreciated

Hi All,
Just recently bought an N5, and really loving it. On stock ROM, I have no problem with LTE connectivity, wifi etc... but whenever I install a custom ROM, I lose that connectivity. I 'force' the LTE APN from settings, and I've also tried creating a new APN with the correct settings for my region, however I never get the LTE connection. The icon at the top just stays at the "H" or "H+", which if my memory serves me correct refers to HSDPA or something like that (aka 3g). I use an unlimited data plan, so this really sucks.
Anyone know a workaround where I can use custom ROMS and use them here in Korea? (SKT carrier)
Thanks,
J
p.s. any suggestions would be welcome, as I'm aware that this sort of problems exist for a lot of N5 owners after searching the web. However I could not find any fixes.
Problem solved, seems like certain ROMs are incompatible? Maybe something to do with the radio frequency / kernel etc...
Not sure why, but installing Xenon HD ROM has solved all my problems !
You can use the /etc/apns-conf.xml from any SK device, like a Korean s4 or the one from the stock n5 rom. Just replace the one in which ever rom you're using.
