Hi all
I am looking for an ICS Xoom ROM which supports British 3G
Any help greatly appreciated.
This rom works fine ( 3g works as well ) on my UK wifi/3g motorola xoom ( 601 )

I have been using my MZ601 in Spain, France and Romania on 3G with no problems using the EOS ICS version 1.0. This ROM have proven to be a major improvement in lot's of ways over the stock 3.2 version. I assume that the 3G in the UK functions the same as the rest of Europe?

I have been using EOS ICS version 1.0 in the UK and it works fine on the O2 network so I guess any other operator will work too.
The only problem is that my device doesn't seem to be able to go to deep sleep with it which means that I am charging the battery all the time.
I am looking for a HC 3.2 rom to go back to after having tried a lot of nightlies as well.
I've scoured the forums looking for any indication of which frequencies the baseband in v21d comes with and came up empty. Specifically I want to know if it has the 1700 2100 aws bands for T-Mobile USA. I know v21a does, can anyone tell me if v21d does as well?

Nearly 160 views and not a single response. Sad.
Well, I flashed the German (I think) version of v21d and I still have 1700 and 2100 AWS bands. So there you are, if anyone wondered.
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA
The ROM is now V21d German and respects the frequency band they use in Germany. I think they use the same as USA.
To keep the original baseband you need to install by ZIP and not by KDZ

My understanding is that there is also a v21d for Spain out there as well, but it may be the same baseband, I haven't looked into it... I need to learn more about EU carriers so this isn't an issue for me again in the future.
The basebands of both the Spain and Germany v21D are the same because both came from LG HQ in Korea. The full baseband version of v21D as reported by CyanogenMod 7.2 is:
LGP920AT-00-V21d-EUR-XXX-FEB-17-2012+0
if you flash a rom that isn't for your region, you probably cant conect to 3g cause different regions uses different radio bands.
So, if you got this trouble, you might flash this binary via odin to recover 3g connection.
it's for north america, south america and thailand!
just flash any rom you want, then flash this in the phone section of odin:

I am reluctant to believe that you can't connect to a 3G signal because of a software limitation. If the radio does not support certain bands no modem.bin can solve the problem. The P6200 support 900/1900/2100 the P6200L support 850/1900/2100.

not true

if you dont know yet, models like p6200 and p6200L got the same hardware. But the firmware changes, because of regions. That's why p6200 got 3g over 850mhz band and p6200, on 900mhz.
The modem.bin is the firmware for this region.. like a driver, that make this band freq work.
if you dont try this yet.. go ahead and you will find that you cant connect to 3g in your country. this is only for thailand and americas
dont talk if you dont try first man
cheers
You are saying that both the P6200 and the P6200L have the same quad Band radio on 3G at 850/900/1900/2100. But the P6200 has a baseband that only supports 900/1900/2100 while the P6200L has a baseband that only supports 850/1900/2100?
Has anyone else successfully been able to flash the modem.bin of a P6200 over a P6200L and connect to 850mhz on 3G?
P_
yup.. im from chile and my device was SOD. so i have to flash a firmware from rusia.. there 3g band works on 900mhz so i only have edge on my GTP. i flashed the modem.bin from thailand (where 3g works on 850 mhz, like in south/centroamerica) and voila: IT WORKS.
You are confirming what I am saying : your TAB is a P6200L, thus has a 3G radio that works on 850/1900/2100 . You flashed a baseband for a radio that works on 3G on 900/1900/2100 . While your phone was still working on Edge ( since the radio is indeed a quad band on GPRS/Edge ) it could not connect on 3G.
I am assuming that the code of the two baseband is the same for the GPRS/Edge part, and this is why you are still able to flash it and have it partially working on a radio with different frequency.
But do not tell me that the P6200 and the P6200L have the same radio because they don't.
P_
they do have the same HARDWARE but different FIRMWARE
You've lost your mind. Someone please call 911
i already test that on 3 different devices: i9003, galaxy fit and galaxy ace.. all the same thing. and now, the GTP..
that's why im talkin bout that.. because i try it already man
P6200L to P2600 firmware to get 3g on 900mhz

please be real. to say something AT LEAST try it first. you dont know anything about this topic, so please dont be like that. you can change the firmware to anything you want and vice versa.
It's possible, but you'll have to find the modem from the P6200. I don't think anyone has uploaded it yet (could be wrong).
you are wrong my friend =)

Matey I live in Australia I ihad firmware from Hong Kong but I the used this to fix a messed up ROM and wiped it with a pit file as well now I have lost 3G HSPDA all I have at the top is H by the way I am using a Galaxy S4 so far you are the only person that I have found with a fix can this be adapted to the GS4 to work on the original firmware?? If not do you know what direction to point me to I have tried doing all the manual APN etc. but no go please I would be so grateful for any advice given.....
DEVICES GALAXY S4 GT-I5905 NOTE II GT-N7105 NOTE II GT-N7100:good:
Thank you!
This method works for my P6200 phone. Now I can connect to 3G at 850MHz. Amazing, thank you!
I know you can flash mz604 nightlie but what about european wifi 3g users?
There is no official CM support for Xoom 3G Europe. Not much for us as far as I know.:crying:
just flash ur 3g to wifi only if u do not use ur 3g like me. i flashed my 3g to wifi and enjoying all the support ;-)
How did you flash 3g on top of wifi rom?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk 2
you can flash it...you will just loose the 3g capabilities of your zoom...that is not advisable
wait till cm team launches cm10 jellybean
If you are talking about the mz601 EU (3G/UMTS) version...
Team EOS just released their first set of nightly JB builds for this device.
Looks good so far, follow the instructions on page1, do a full wipe/factory reset and you will most likey get working 3G.

@ new-noob
I flashed it myself yesterday evening.
No problems with the process at all.
I´m from germany and my 3g /umts conncetion worked right out of the box.
Get build #84 and the gapps from the first post.
Place on SD Card and fire up your recovery.
Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik
Install the ROM and then gapps right after.
Boots just fine, System itself is stable for me, of course some apps crash but I guess they just need to get updated for JB.
Battery life seems to have improved a bit, nothing to worry about.
Without changing any performance settings, for me its pretty fast, I didn´t noticed any lags so far
There are some small bugs within the settings menu, but according to the early status of the rom, I bet EOS will kill them pretty soon as well as
adding all their nice little extras.
@eyriiii
No, flashing a wifi only rom just means that there a re no radio/umts driver modules included so the system doesn´t know how to use the radio module. whenever you flash a rom with those drivers again, your 3g/umts radio will work like normal. It´s just software, not killing hardware in any way.
Installed jb on my mz601 3G
3G works
Sd card works
DolphinHD has flash turned off but native browser plays youtube etc...
Rom is a bit different and switching between apps has nicer look
There is app for sms
App grouping
Some apps has moe options from menu (or whatever you call tapping the clock)
Some apps crash but uninstalling and not using widgets helped did the job on my xoom
There are some minor bugs but everything is explained here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777987
In general:
Its faster
Its smoother
Feels better
Geat job from EOS DEVELOPERS ONCE AGAIN!!!
Great you made it, you won´t regret buddy
Its amazing how different is my xoom now!
Enjoy urs to!
Lke it was with the eos ICS rom, the eos JB rom kills lots of limits we had before.
This is again, pushing the fun factor while working on the xoom, to a new level.
FYI, there is a new nightly release #85 along with a new updated gapps package, just take a look at the dev thread

Yes installed already and must agree these feels like different xoom on jb cool!
Still have some issues with some apps like freenote, dolphin hd (cant zoom in/out) but in overal its great!
Most of the app crashes are due to the fact that these apps are not updated to fully support JB yet.
This is not Team EOS fault, its the app developers that are "a little late to the party"
Give them some time to get everything up-to date and it will be easy as always.
ICS for MZ601 malaysia

Sorry, not trying to duplicate posts but looking for an answer for the following
I flashed my Xoom 3G EU MZ601 eith Build HWI69, I don't care about not having 3G, everything is working perfectly but I noticed when I check my serial number in settings>about>status that the serial number is not the same as the IMEI number on the box, I am not sure if they are supposed to be the same, also when trying to register my product on the Motorola website it does not recognise my MAC address. Can someone please clarify.
Hi! I have really mysterious problem with my Moto G. I have Global GSM (because I live in Europe) , 16GB model purchased in US. Of course I'm running stock US ROM (4.4.2). Yesterday I purchased mobile data bundle from T-Mobile, then enabled it and everything was working fine for ~20 minutes. After that mobile data icon disappeared. Now every time when I try to enable mobile data icon does not appear and for example Chrome shows me that I'm offline. Is that because I'm running US ROM in Europe? Also if this is important I have little homescreen lag with stock launcher on US ROM but my friend with UK works really smooth. If so can i flash my US model to UK ROM without problems? Sorry for such dumb questions but I'm new to Android (I was running iOS before). I was searching whole Moto G forum but didn't find any familiar problem. Is there any reason or I need to flash/wipe?
I have a similar or maybe the same problem.
My mobile data drops every now and then. Most of the times it happens when I leave home in the morning. Somehow the switch from wifi at home to the mobile data does not happen and I am offline.
I did not find a solution yet other then rebooting the phone which brings back connectivity.
I found some threads in the internet where Kitkat users with different phones face similar issues, but no solution yet.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=63524
http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/saOjkcCsPSo
I believe this must be a KitKat SW issue.
Or, maybe it is a Moto G issue, because I also ordered the international model in the US and use it in Malaysia, similar to what you did. Still I tend towards a SW issue in KitKat.
I will monitor this problem and post as soon as I have a solution.
The problem is you didn't just flash the US 4.4.2 ROM, you also flashed the US MODEM firmware which is included in the Stock Firmware Images. I was having something similar happen on a UK handset with US ROM / MODEM firmware. Flashing the UK 4.4.2 Firmware Image here solved it. I suggest you don't flash another region's Modem firmware.
FYI: Custom ROMs don't normally change the Modem firmware.
Just for my understanding:
In the US there are two versions to purchase, the "US" and the "International" version.
Since I live in Malaysia I ordered the "International" version, I suppose the thread starter did the same. Would this problem still affect us??
Since I doubt Motorola will do anything, you could experiment yourself. There is a Retail Asian Stock firmware image you could try flashing and see if things improve. Also there is now a 4.4.2 Stock Retail EU firmware image.
