[Q] GPE on XT1034 - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I accidently ordered Moto G US GSM version (XT1034).
On This fw: "Android 4.4.2 Blur_Version.172.44.4.falcon_umts.AWSRetail.en.US" works only 2G networks (in Europe). This is as expected.
On GPE fw phone cannot search\connect mobile network at all.
On another european fw same bahviour as on US one (only 2G connection as avaliable)
I have tried to flash only modems from various firmwares, but without any effect (nothing changes), So, as I understand - problem in GPE system.img.
Is it possible to run GPE on XT1034 (at least with 2G)?

I think that the 2G issue is hardware-related as the phone may not operate on the proper frequencies for europe.
Concerning your question: Try the MotoTool you find in the Original Android Development section. This might work.

Thanks for answer.
I have tried flahing modem image for my device XT1034 via recovery, but it didn't helped.
(Sorry, but I cannot write messages in appropriate developers threads)

what's causing slow network speeds?

I'm running the KitKat+ ROM I found in the development section plus faux kernel, I flashed over jellybean and applied fix v2 so I'm getting no problems uninstalling apps or entering security settings. Thing is when I'm at home or even outside I get really slow network speeds of about 0.4 Mbps down,and in settings-aboutphone-status it switches between hspa and hspa+,but down the road about 350 metres at my kids school I get up to 7 Mbps down,I'm just wondering what version of the moto g is this KitKat+ rom based on,I own the UK retail version and was thinking if its based on a us version would it cause problems with connecting to a UK network or have problems with hspa+ in the UK based on what base this ROM is using,just throwing it out there.
Have you tried setting it to GSM auto (PRL) ?
My previous phone (HTC One X+) was running BlackBean rom and was set to CDMA by default, meant that i had to reset to GSM after every reboot.
I have experienced this also on a UK XT1032 running US Global GSM 4.4.2 - Data works but often slowly and stops entirely for periods of time. I had assumed it was the ROM and I'm waiting for the UK 4.4.2 stock firmware image which I expect will solve it. Perhaps unrelated, but I've noticed Opera Mini will not work over 3G in this ROM, but it works fine on Wifi.
EDIT: I was just thinking; that by fastboot flashing the Stock US firmware image, the UK modem firmware may also have been replaced. That could explain the problems. Flashing back the 4.4.2 UK modem firmware might fix it.
My Baseband version:
MSM8626BP_1032.340.63.00R​
Can someone with a US Global GSM XT1032 confirm their Baseband version? Nevermind, confirmed via google. UK Tesco XT1032 running 4.4.2 also has the same Baseband version.
You could try flashing the UK stock 4.4.2 'NON-HLOS.bin' which appears to include the modem firmware. However if I remember correctly, flashing an incorrect radio firmware is one of the few ways to irrecoverably brick a handset.
Safest bet is to wait for the full UK stock 4.4.2 firmware image and fastboot flash that. In future when you flash a different ROM, i.e CM11, you are likely to use CWM/TWRP and the existing UK modem / radio firmware will remain untouched.
If someone wants to correct me on this, please do.

[Q]

Hi everybody,
I have been following XDA for years now and have always been able to find answers to my questions here regarding flashing for a HTC Desire, Galaxy SII or my current Galaxy S4 I9505, rooted running a 4.3 GPE rom. Baseband is XXUDMB. Recovery is CWM 6.0.4.4.
After following the thread GOOGLE EDITION 4.4.2 by Danvdh, Kryten2k35 & Ktoonsez I decided to flash. Love this rom, it's superfast!!! One thing didn't work for me: the phone kept losing connection with my Dutch mobile carrier Vodafone (no data, phone calls not possible), especially after locking the screen. To my understanding the rom does not ship with LTE of GSM modems, so it should not be the problem that a 4.4 LTE modem causes sound, data or WiFi problems when on the "old" bootloader (pre KNOX). After flashing the baseband still shows XXUDMB.
I tried *#*#4636#*#* and setting network type to GSM. However, the menu is not the same as my current 4.3 and the option LTE/GSM auto (PRL) is not available.
Reverted back to my 4.3 rom for now, but really hope somebody knows how to solve the issue.

D6603 lose 3G and LTE bands for my country after MM FTF update

hello
i was gifted a D6603 running android 5.1, i downloaded via flashtool the Generic Global firmware for this model, and after upgrading, i can't connect to any LTE or 3G signal, it only lists 2G signal.
the device worked perfectly before upgrading, i never checked the bands listed on the service menu before upgrading, now the listed bands are
GSM_850 GSM_900 GSM_1800 GSM_1900
UMTS_BC1 UMTS_BC5 UMTS_BC6 UMTS_BC19
LTE_BC1 LTE_BC3 LTE_BC19 LTE_BC21
D6603 should have a lot more bands, and they were obviously available before updating it
lacking almost all the bands to work in Chile, i don't know what to do, i tried GENERIC_LAM with no success, even downgraded to 4.4.4, always checking the rom says LTE_GLOBAL
Edit:
customization number 1288-2296 no roms matching that number anywhere, confirmed that NFC is not working also
the only thing that seems to be my last chance is finding the exact rom it used

Wiped modem

I recently unlocked my moto, installed twrp and aokp7.1. due to some reason, tried restoring backup from twrp but didn't unselect modem. During restoration my modem was wiped and the backup file didn't have modem backup. In the end it shows failed to mount modem, system or device busy. Now my phone keeps on showing the boot animation .
Mine is Indian version moto turbo xt1225
Please help.

Boot into TWRP. Connect USB cable to a computer and drag these files below over to your phone, preferably to the Download folder.
While still in TWRP, flash the @bhb27 "clean modem" file (just in case), then re-flash your XT1225 radio. Reboot your phone.

Thanks a lot. My phone is up & running. Can this modem cause any problem, as mine is an Indian version moto maxx and this one is for Brazil?

No, all the Moto XT1225 radios are interchangeable. Should not cause any problems. All the XT1225 have the same FCC ID, same radio bands. The only reason the India XT1225 was called "Moto Turbo" instead of "Moto Maxx" is there was some carrier there in India called Max or Maxx, and Motorola didn't want any confusion this phone was in any way tied to them.
I live in the U.S.A. and my wife and I have Puerto Rico and Mexico Moto Maxx XT1225 phones. At one point in 2015, I flashed both to India "Moto Turbo" firmware 5.0.2. (including radio). When I did that, both phones even stated "Moto Turbo" in the "About Phone" section in Settings. (India XT1225 had Lollipop a month before the other XT1225, so that's why I did it -- to get official Lollipop.) Everything worked fine, of course.
Then months later, I flashed CM 12.1 custom ROM over both, and for awhile kept the India XT1225 radio on both the Puerto Rico and Mexico Moto XT1225.
Then, sometime in 2016 I flashed Puerto Rico Lollipop radio over both (including the "Mexico"), just to see if there was any difference. There wasn't. Now I have this same @bhb27 Brazil Marshmallow radio flashed on both, on RR 6.x. ROM -- because it was the easiest way to update to Marshmallow radio.
If you wish, at some point you can download and re-flash "India" Marshmallow radio files via fastboot. (There's no TWRP version I can find.) But you really won't see any difference...
BHB27 Clean Modem File
For anyone else reading this thread...
I keep both the BHB27 Clean_modem_status.zip and the Marshmallow Moto XT1225 Radio/Modem Zip file in my internal memory download folder permanently, since I flash ROM updates very often. (There's also TWRP version of the XT1254 Marshmallow modem for Droid Turbo owners.)
You shouldn't need the radio zip file every time, but the BHB27 Clean_modem_status.zip file is an amazing and very useful tool. Until @bhb27 coded that, several Quark owners were complaining about GPS issues when installing custom ROM. It did seem to affect Droid Turbo XT1254 owners more than XT1225, and it didn't affect everyone. But, it was still a constant discussion point. Lots of solutions were offered -- I found TopNTP app helped tremendously (and I still recommend installing that app -- just be sure to enable the "survive ROM flash" setting so you dont have to keep re-installing it after ROM updates.).
But the only guaranteed workaround -- prior to this file -- was found to be:
flash back to stock
get a GPS lock
made a backup
then install custom ROM
then restore modem
...or something like that. Forgive me if I don't remember all the details. It was a hassle, but that was the solution.
Then, people started sharing their "good" modem TWRP backup files (which already had a GPS lock), that other people could "restore" via TWRP. That's an excellent example of the XDA community helping each other, and was a quicker way of getting to the same point -- but still not ideal.
The issue was when flashing a new ROM on this phone, the modem sometimes became "confused". On the new ROM, GPS wouldn't work!
THEN, @bhb27 coded this amazing app, which clearly and simply "cleans" the older modem data out. It basically clears the cache of the modem. That may not be a technical explanation, but that's the best way to understand it. BOOM! It SOLVED all the GPS lock problems! :good: When flashing a new ROM on this phone, you should probably also flash this file.
Now, when newbies come into the threads and say "I can't get a GPS lock. Please Fix!" we just roll our eyes because they haven't bothered to do even a basic search of "GPS" in the thread. This is a 2-year old phone (actually released late 2014) and we've had custom ROMs since early 2015. Development is VERY mature on this phone. You don't think we've solved something as basic as GPS? Please.
I flash this file every time I do a ROM update, although it's probably not necessary. It doesn't hurt, and can help prevent any modem/radio issues.
Right on @ChazzMatt, I flash this .Zip file on my xt1250 on Verizon all the time, even just dirty flashing an update.
Of course, thanks to @bhb27 for its availability.
Edit. Wrong post. Sorry

Hello there, I'm having issues at the time I make a Phone call, signal is OK, Microhpone ok, Earphone Ok, but when I call someone I can't hear the one I'm calling an they also can't hear me, do you guys think it might be my Radio or Modem, Firstly I thought it was a hardware problem, but it's not, then I thought flashing a different ROM would solve this, but it seems nothing changed, my phone is unlocked both Bootloader and network, pls help

Try re-flashing the modem or even reflashing a different XT1225 modem. I've flashed Puerto Rico, India, and Brazil modems on my XT1225. They all work. Do NOT flash XT1225 modem over XT1254/XT1250. I'm assuming you have XT1225, as you don't really say.
If you open up a sound recording app, and record audio, does the microphone work then? I know it's not just a microphone problem, since you also can't hear the caller, but I'm just trying to think of any issues.
If you have TWRP, the TRWP-flashable Brazil XT1225 Marshmallow modem is listed in this thread. IF you need XT1254, I can point you to another location.

Yes I have XT1225, I'm from Mexico, guess it is mexican, and yeah, I can send voice notes in Telegram and everything is fine. So I just download the Modem .ZIP and flash it without WIPES and that's it or need another thing?

Flash the clean modem file first. It's also in this thread, above. Then flash the modem. Flash both in TWRP.

Have you tried reflashing your modem?
The clean modem status was made by Quark dev @bhb27. I don't know if it works for other Motorola phones.

The only thing I can suggest is re-flashing stock image, then starting over if you want root or custom ROMs.

930F modem for 930S

I bought 2nd SK Telecom unit (930S), which has same SoC as 930F. Is it possible to flash 930F modem to 930S? I get this issues regarding mobile network in LTE doesn't work well, I have to lock it to WCDMA in order to make network run again. I suspect this as modem issues, but is it? Or is this OS problem? Tried 3 carriers, problem persists.
While they are the same SoC, there are some differences that will make flashing G930F over G930S result in bootlooping.
I assume you're not in South Korea?
The firmware will be configuring for Korean carrier / networks. Your best bet would be flashing TWRP, then using this to change your device to your carriers CSC https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/development/utility-flashable-csc-selection-30-t3392957

It could be the stock ROM on there (with sk apps). When I bought mine I immediately flashed TWRP, NAND backup and flashed a custom TW ROM and had zero network issues. I never bothered seeing if the stock ROM was worth using. I'm using BlackPearl with zero problems with network or otherwise on AT&T.
I should clarify many custom ROM's work on goth 930F and 930S, but stock 930F images will bootloop a 930S.
hello, im using g930s too with g930s stock bootloader and baseband/modem. but with hyper alvi 4.1 rom. still got problem in 4G mobile network signal. should i try to change csc or modem file? i think the csc was from wrong country, could that be the culprit? thanks guys
