Trying to flash new radio to fix constant restarts - Motorola Atrix 2

My phone restarts a TON. Sometimes I'll go a few hours, sometimes it'll restart 3 times in 10 minutes.
It restarts without the SIM card, so I know its not that. I've found that flashing the radio to something other than AT&T's fixes the problem. I've been having a hard time finding the Europe radios to actually do this though.
I tried to flash a few different radios with BMM but they all errored out. Not sure if theres a guide I'm missing on this but google has been no help.

You can extract the radio.img from any of the fxz's then you have to flash it via fast boot.

B4 it restarts, have u noticed what state your radio is in? Do you have signal, how many bars if any? Is your data working?. Try to see if you can catch some of this info b4 the next restart.

Problem flashing UCLD2

Im on Seans SKY ICS. The latest leak. Its a great ROM. Mainly for me because everything seems to work properly with almost no FCs. My only problem with the rom is the modem/radio that came with it. I have terrible signal where I live. But after I installed everything, I litterally have to stand at the door/window to make/recieve phone calls. Some have reported good signal with the new radio, but not me. Everyone seems to report slower data speeds. So I decided to flash UCLD2 and see if it would help any at all. But no matter what I do the bandbase always says "unknown". Is it compatible with the new rom? I came from 2.3.6 with UCLA3. Now signal still sucked, but nowhere near as bad as UCLE2 that came with the leak. My steps were:
Reboot to recovery.
wipe cache
wipe D. cache
flash radio
reboot
fix permissions in rom manager
reboot to recovery again
fix permissions in advanced.
reboot system.
Ive done this 3 times....still refuses to work. What am I diong wrong?
Also, can I flash UCLA3 that came from gingerbread 2.3.6?
How about you try this: flash the new ucle rom from mohan his ics rom is compatible with a wide range of radios, go through each one one at a time until signal is sufficient for you maybe one will give you way better reception
So your saying maybe its the ROM that wont let me install UCLD2?

[RESOLVED] Cannot re-flash radio firmware on 9020a no matter what.

I've tried just about everything to flash a new version of the radio firmware on my 9020a. I've used the Radio Flashing Guide and tried every version available for the 9020a. Each time, the flash reports that it was successful, but no matter which one I choose, baseband still shows I'm running i9020aucke1 when I boot it back up.
I've also flashed the stock ICS OTA update 4.04 for the 9020a, thinking "well, THAT has to do it." but still I'm stuck on cke1.
Are there permissions that may be wrong? Is there anything else I can do? I want to flash a new radio because e1 is terrible for me. It won't switch between "3g" to "H" and just spins it's wheels and I get no data. Sometimes I get ZERO signal. If I reboot or switch Airplane Mode on & off, data comes back and works for a while, but then reverts back to working like crap.
Thanks a lot.
Update
I was trying to flash via Clockworkmod. I used ADB FASTBOOT and the radio is now on J1.
So, if Clockworkmod isn't working, use ADB FASTBOOT.

What recovery and what version are you using?

Phone stays in Roaming mode.

I've Installed this yesterday, but I'm experiencing a couple of bugs.
I first did a format (disk + dalvic),
then flashed Codename Android v3.3.2
then Camera + Backlit Fix
and then Codename Android GAPPS
Because I have a S-on device, I flashbooted the boot.img from the CA Gapps zip. (other zips didn't have that file)
Everything works very smoothly, but the errors/bugs I encounter are:
4. When I insert my SIM-card, I'm always Roaming, untill I enable WIFI, then I can make phonecalls.
So when WIFI signal is lost, I'm at Roaming and mobile-internet doesn't work.
Does other people have these issues, or is it because of a wrong Boot.img I flashed?

Since I don't want to post this in the dev section anymore, I'll continue here.
This problem first started with Codename Android.
When I install an other ROM; for example Blindbean, the problem stays.
Then I tried MIUI from Shrome, same problem.
(always with format disk and clean dalvik cache)
This night I installed the ICE-DS v4.4 ROM, and everything works fine again.
But when I install Blindbean again, problem is back.
You guys have any idea how this is possible.
Boot.img isn't suppose to be in gapps. Should be inside the rom itself.
When flashing a new rom always do a full wipe.

Ok, so I did again couple of hours of googling and stuff, and found some interesting stuff.
In our country, we have 3 mobile networks with their own towers. (proximus, mobistar, base)
But 2 of them rent these towers to other carriers. (mobistar for example to Telenet)
It appears Jellybean (I have it on every JB rom) sees a difference between the carrier and the tower-network. (If you get my point)
So I have to enable Roaming to be able to use my carriers network.
So far I can see, no additional costs.
But this still is a strange bug, that started with JB.

[Q] Wifi Issues

I would have posted this in the Sensation Android development area, but I don't have sufficient privileges to do so.
I no longer have WiFi.
I am using the 4.1.2 CM Kang, and I originally had WiFi working with that ROM, but it stopped working about a weeks ago, and I can't get it to come back.
If I watch the Wifi on/off toggle, I can see it blink white for a split second then return to grayed out about once every 5-10 seconds.
I've checked the WiFi settings, and the only thing that looks peculiar is that the region code under Advanced says "Europe," but when I try to change that, it just reverts.
I have tried a factory data reset,re-flash of the ROM, and installing newer versions of the ROM with no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
tried this ?
WiFi will not turn on

I tried to install WiFix Manager, and I followed the directions closely, but WiFi still will not turn on.
The country code always reverts back to Europe in the Advanced WiFi Settings.
I'm on T-Mobile US, running AOKP aokp_pyramid_unofficial_Oct-19-12.zip; a JB ROM; 4.1.2
I previously tried the CM10 Kang for the HTC Sensation, but switched ROMs to make sure that it wasn't issue with the ROM.
To be clear, my problem is not that the WiFi radio never locks to a particular signal, it's that the WiFi radio won't even turn on.
When I go to WiFi settings it just says, "Turning on WiFi...," and never actually turns on.
My best guess was that it had something to do with the WiFi country code, but that's really just a stab in the dark; open to suggestions.
Thanks

Surely, there's someone out there that can help?

In order of easiest and quickest to longest time it will take to do each one...
Install the latest version of the ROM (10/23) overtop of your existing rom (5 minutes)
If that doesn't work...
Do a full wipe and install a fresh copy of the latest version. (15 minutes, with Nandroid backup)
If that doesn't work...
Format your SD card (save all the contents to your computer first) (40 minutes between copying every to the computer and back to the SD card)
NON ROM RELATED OPTION IF YOU ARE S-OFF
Reinstall your firmware as it's possible something got messed up. You will have to boot to recovery after this and wipe cache and dalvik or you will get bootloops. (5 minutes, but a little more involved)
My guess is that the full wipe and fresh install is the most likely to work the first time.

is there a sensation specific guide for this procedure?
Still perplexed
How do I know which kernel and radio combination should work best with my ROM. I switched out to AOKP to see if that was the problem, and I believe I'm using the 3.33 Kernel, but I don't know how to check to make sure it installed correctly.
Had the same problem as you but a full wipe and reflash would bring it back. Seems to be a CM10 problem since it happens with Bruce's and Paranoid roms. Try a Sense rom and see if wifi works.
Is OpenSense considered a "Sense ROM?"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1926858
Try that rom, more stable and better performance than all the popular roms.
I had the same problem only option was another room Android_Revolution_HD-Sensation_6.8.0 (this is the rom)
so long, and thanks for all of the fish...
I figured it out.
I bought a Samsung Galaxy S III. WiFi is working again.
Thanks for all of the help!
wifi cm10
I have tried several CM10 roms. It is as you said about the region code. It reverts back to the original and doesnt save it on the settings
Even though editing db file doesn't work. Actually it changes the country code. I guess the ROM changes it during booting. Because while it boots you can see that the wifi is connecting first then goes off. I have tried several roms. DOnno what the problem is. probably JB both on cm10 and aokp

Motorola XOOM Z604 32GB IHDT56MT1

Motorola XOOM Z604 32GB IHDT56MT1
Sorry if there was another thread about this, but i looked and didn't find any
Anyway friend of mine flashed some kinda rom he says official 4.1.1 JRO03H, but i'm not sure
anyway as he said after OTA tab is freezing randomly and gives android keyboard error
so i assumed i can unlock/root and flash some custom rom that will resolve the problem
after using AIO tool and unlocking/rooting/flashing various roms problems persists
sometimes tab is crashing during start up (android loading) sometimes just randomly by touching/using absolutely random
using tiamat recovery 3.2.2 and TWRP, it's rock stable in recovery
so i assume it's hardware related
any ideas, cause i'm out of any
p.s. it does have a sim card slot, but judging by FCC code it's wifi only
p.s. i tried to flash stock rom and lock it, still freezing and crashing randomly, first at wifi menu then at internet browser, guess something is really hardware related, possibly memory got corrupted or something like that
p.p.s now i'm not even sure which xoom this one is, is it a wifi only or 3g and maybe it needs some different stock rom? most confusing tab i've seen so far, there is just so many variation of this
thnx in advance

The wifi xoom also has a sim card slot but it does not work( missing the radios).
Can you get into recovery and which one is it (custom CWR or stock)? With the xoom off press power until the moto dual core logo appears then press volume down after 3 seconds. You will see android recovery written on top press volume up. If you still have a custom recovery you can then install 4.1.1 JRO03H again but do a factory wipe (very important to get rid of any possible corruption) before and a cache dalvik cache wipe before.
If you are still having issues you can fastboot the stock honeycomb wifi images and allow the updates to happen automatically but this will wipe all of your data. I can walk you through this.
i did mentioned recovery in my post, otherwise how the hek would i be able to flash it in the first place duhh
i did all that, i even tried stock image 3.01 let it update it all the way up to the 4.1.1 which kept giving me weird android keyboard stopped working error and same random freezes
most stable was honeycomb though, i could stay in the system sometimes longer before touching anything, i even let it on lock screen for an hour or two and wouldn't freeze, in ics and jb it froze on lock screen, sometimes wouldn't even let me pass welcome/choose language
i just don't understand how can it install without any problems and stock/custom recoveries being stable while in OS it's just freezing for no apparent reason, my theory is something wrong with video part of the chipset, then again i simply dunno anymore
i tried several times factory defaults and wiping cache before and after flashing didn't helped
Good luck
