So I recently got a Shield Tablet.
As I reported in this thread, I took the plunge since I had not heard of anyone trying it and installed the only version of the wx_un_mo ROM I found.
wx_un_mo appears to be the cancelled/ever delayed/vaporware 3rd variant of the Shield Tablet which was to feature LTE and Voice calling.
So the matrix is:
wx_na_wf = Wifi (current wifi version ROMs)
wx_na_do = LTE , unlocked, US AT&T branded (current AT&T data only version ROMs)
wx_un_do = LTE , unlocked, RoW (current data only version ROMs)
wx_un_mo = LTE + Voice (Appears to be the previously planned and now MIA version that allowed calling)
As such I am looking and hoping for any and all links to any versions besides the following wx_un_mo OTA 1.2:

Mirror: https://mega.co.nz/#!akQhEb7Q!tQyLSvivW7E__Gogzg4rdqG7cbB4m5uLUKOZc-3w7Xo
I've tried the links in a few threads and found them dead (such as http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/shield-tablet-otas-t2847116 thread which got me wondering what the _mo was).
I also tried the basic swap the 'do' for 'mo' on the ota.nvidia.com site which is how I found the 1.2 release.
Any other versions of the wx_un_mo ROM would be greatly appreciated. While I'm not necessarily smart enough to build a working ROM with phone support from such, perhaps others will be able to. I am certainly risky, crazy, and willing to try such experiments (as evidenced by my actions already).
Thanks for your time and hope we can find more of these that might end up with the Shield Tablet working to make voice calls as well.
If nothing else we've now seen the firmware and it almost working.

Hi there,
I have a T-Mobile badged HTC HD2 [That is shipped in the Black colour box]. I have hacked it for multi-boot - WP 7.5 (8107) & Android (American Android).
Android works supremely awesome. I can take calls, do calls as well as use mobile data connectivity.
WP 7.5, prima facie, rocks. I can call, take calls & do everything on data BUT ONLY in Wi-Fi mode. I do not get any data reception, GPRS/Edge or 3G. Now let me fill in the details.
- I am currently residing in India, Bombay
- My mobile operator is Vodafone
- My username login for the Windows Market is in the US domain
- I have put in the relevant details in the APN settings but still no luck
- I was by a Vodafone engineer that Vodafone India blocks data connectivity for T-Mobile, AT&T devices (Which is a joke because my T-Mobile HD2 gets connected to data on Android). Ergo, I put a sim of another Mobile operator - Tata Docomo, but no avail. Data still didn't get activated.
- As a desperate resort, I flashed a freely available T-Mobile radio - 2.12.50.02_2, but still no luck.
I have a couple of thoughts/conclusions & I may be right or wrong -
- Android works because its Open Source et al
- Could it be that WP7 is doing some sort of check on my HD2 & hence there is a problem?
- Could it be that on a hardware/software radio level, the T-Mobile HD2 is not compatible with the Indian mobile standards? Highly unlikey but hey who knows..
- Do I have to try every relevant TMOUS radio option out there (GASP!!!) & there is an assurance that atleast one might work?
I have not come across a single incident like this on the Web or in XDA so I am wondering whether I am a random anamoly.
Any help/pointers is a big welcome.
Thanks for taking your time out reading this post & a great new year ahead to you!!!!
From my experiences with flashing Android phones, this happens because your system isn't connecting to the radio properly. Its an issue with your install of WP7.5; you may be missing a particular library, or your system may be configured incorrectly. Since data works on Android for you, it definitely isn't a hardware issue.
I have had a very similar issue happen while upgrading my girlfriend's X10MiniPro: no data connectivity. It was caused by having an incompatible baseband for the RIL library that came with the ROM.
Whoa!!! Thanks a ton for the indepth reply mate. You have given me a new perspective on this. I never thought of it actually. This means I have two choices -
- Either flash a new WP 7.5 version (& Hope it works)
or
- Flash a couple of compatible TMOUS radios & figure out which would work best with my verison of WP 7.5
Having said that, Im surprised that no one else seems to be having this data problem on their TMobile HD2s in India. Or maybe I am the only one who has a Tmobile HD2 out here ;-)
*EDIT*
or (Oops! missed this while posting earlier)
- I may have to put in a relevant "rilphone.dll" as you rightly pointed out in the WP 7.5 partition.
*Edit - 2*
I recommend this thread on some detailed pointers on what "rilphone.dll" is all about. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481026&page=1
Important update!!!
After a couple of hectic weeks/weekends in office, I can finally heave a sigh of relief now that I have a couple of days off. Was checking the HD2 threads for Mango-related problems & BANG!!! Quite a few people have a problem on this GPRS/EDGE problem. The one common link is that all the people who are victims of this problem have their Radio Hardware version showing up as 0.0.0.0.
I have been seeing this 0.0.0.0 bit all this time & thought nothing of it thinking that this is a valid value.
Initially I thought the problem could be because of the T-Mobile radio verison not being compatible/or some sort of esoteric mojo that I cannot comprehend ;-).
But now this 0.0.0.0 is the common link (If other users have non-T-Mobile HTC HD2s). So well, what gives? Why do most people have no problems on data in Mango on HD2 & some unlucky ones like us are facing this 0.0.0.0 issue?
Any comments people?
Thanks in advance.
*Edit 1*
My current build is the 7.10.8107.79 & it is unlocked.
I had tried earlier the Yuki build as well and I still faced the same problem of not having EDGE/GPRS connectivity & radio version showed 0.0.0.0.
I am in Australia and have just recently bought an HTC M8 on eBay which was originally listed as new, and factory unlocked for $530. A few days later I found out it was actually rooted now unlocked, but was originally locked to Sprint. This was confirmed by a Sprint Connections application update etc, and the root was confirmed by the SuperSU app that was already installed in the phone. I'm recently confirmed this by the Root Checker app.
My phone's software is Android version 4.4.2, HTC Sense 6, software number 1.54.651.8, HTC SDK api LEVEL 6.17, PRI version 1.52_003, Kernel version [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT, Baseband version 1.05.20.0321_2.
The phone is pretty functional for everyday use except for the following issues:
- The internet network settings had to be manually obtained from my carrier as the phone did not automatically pick it up.
- The internet seems slower than usual (Signal strength -79 dBm 17-20 asu) compared to my old phone (Xperia Z1), despite the settings being specifically on 3G/UTMS mode which is faster than having it on Global Mode, and the required setting with my carrier Optus.
- I cannot access anything under System Updates. i.e. Update profile, Update PRL, UCICC Unlock and most importantly, HTC software update. This update takes >20minutes to search to no avail. This error message at times pops up when I try selecting Update profile: “vDM Client has stopped unexpectedly. An error report will be sent to HTC to help us improve our products”. This error screen would pop up intermittently when my internet didn't work but, I rarely see it now.
- Wifi would randomly switch on. I've turned off all system selections that may be caused on this. I haven’t tried booting my phone into safe mode to determine if an app is causing this.
I don't know much about phones (I had no idea what rooting was until I looked it up to get a rough idea), so I'm wondering if you experts could be some advice
I'm planning on keeping the phone for about 2 years and wondering what issues I may receive from having a rooted phone with the already above issues? Would the phone play up more? Can I use my current android version for that period relatively smoothly?
I am able to return my phone for a full refund but I don't have a spare phone and don't want to go in to the hassle of doing so if I can keep the phone (I would prefer to leave them negative feedback on eBay to be honest ). What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance for any asisstance.

Just reflash the stock rom and relock the bootloader and everything should be fine.
First, I don't know much about custom ROMs or root processes in general. I rooted the phone myself, and installed the recovery/flashed the ROMs, but my knowledge is one step above basic, if that.
A couple of weeks ago I stopped being able to send MMS. I simply dealt with it. I don't send a whole lot of pictures. I finally called Sprint yesterday to address the issue, and the wizard on the other side of the line did some sort of magical spell which caused (I think, could've been coincidence) my 3G connection to stop functioning as well after a few reboots.
This is a Samsung Galaxy S3 for the Sprint network. I am currently running CyanogenMod 11 (AV 4.4.4) and have ClockWorkMod installed as my recovery. Fixes I have tried so far include:
- Reflashing all my ROMs
- Updating CM11
- Flashing CM12.1 instead of CM11
- Multiple hard/soft reboots
- TouchWiz MMS Fix
- FreedomPop APN adjustment
Nothing has worked so far. I am at the point where I am about to just purchase a new phone. If it matters, the verdict on the phone with Sprint was to take it to a store, which I did, but when they crack open an AOSP it seems they have no idea what they're doing.
Please help.

This issue has been resolved. I flashed over a rooted stock MK3 ROM with a custom modem which allowed me to update profile and PRL. Thank you.
Great that you solved the problem.
I want to start by saying thank you to everyone on this forum. I have learned so much from reading the guides and resources (particularly those by @Gawd, @spanna, @Heisenberg, @EddyOS, and @Timmmmaaahh. I know some may have moved on but you legacy remains.).
This issue seems to have come up before on the forum, but I have not found one that matches my own situation with a solution, unless I am missing something. I am also lucky in that I have access to another near identical OPO without the issue for comparison. I am visiting my family and we all have OPO.
I have noticed that my phone will have decent to good signal (1-4 bars of Tomobile LTE) be able to use cellular data and send SMS, but not make and receive phone calls in certain areas. I would have been content saying this was a reception/carrier issue. However, I am visiting family for Memorial day and have been able to troubleshoot this with their phones. I bought my parents OPOs when it came out and my brother has a Find7, so we all have essentially the same hardware. For my troubleshooting I used primarily my mother's OPO (not updated since CM11S) and occasionally my brother's Find7. Both my mother and I have the 64 GB edition of OPO purchased around Oct-Nov 2014. Both are cobranded with Cyanogen, though mine was purchased a month or two prior to hers. When comparing the OPOs I notice her phone is able to send and receive calls in places where mine is not able. We have similar reception. I have cellular data and can still SMS. The issue is just with calls. I have tried the following (i have bolded things which I noted were different):
Basic stuff:
1) Making and receiving calls with both phones side by side. Her phone can send and receive calls in all areas (even with just one bar), while mine can only make and receive calls in some areas. My brothers Find7 has identical performance as my mothers phone.
2)Toggling airplane mode. -- Same result.
3)Toggling LTEonly, 3g only, and 2g only. -- Same result.
4)Verifying APN -- Identical for all three phones
5)Swapping SIM Cards -- both phones perform the same irrespective of which sim card is in it.
6)Verfied IMEI -- present in all phones.
7)Verifying signal strength (dBm/asu) in phone settings (*#*#INFO#*#*) -- near identical between phones. Our dBm numbers were the same but my asu number was sometimes triple her phone's asu. Her's was identical to the Find7.
More advanced stuff:
8) Removing the back cover and making sure the terminal are making contact to the backplate antennae.
9) Changing roms and firmware. No success.
- I had recently upgraded from the final release COS 13 to the latest Oreo RR with a clean wipe using TWRP. I was running RR when I first started this.
- First I tried flashing my recovery file with TWRP. It says it ran successfully, but didn't make any changes to the system.
- Since my mothers phone has no issues I tried to replicate her setup. I fastboot flashed the cm-11.0-XNPH05Q-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip provided by spannaa.
- I found some similar posts to my problem which linked to gawds firmware. I verified that both my mother's working OPO and mine had the same OS (XNPH05Q) and baseband (c7-00020) I also tried flashing different firmwares with no benefit.
- I tried fastboot flashing back to COS 11 XNPH33R (what my OPO came out out of the box with).
- I then used EddyOS guide to return device to stock COS 13.1.2. with no change.
- Thinking another new ROM may include a better firmware. I most recently did a clean install of AOSPExtedned and currently have baseband c6-0241.
Going forward:
- I was thinking of flashing gawds firmwares with AOSPExtedned. Is this safe?
- Looking to disable/unlink my google voice account from my cell number. My mom does not have this set-up. I noticed a delay in making calls, and that my google voice account has a log of all my missed calls (those that never make it to my cell). Maybe it interfering with my calls going in and out.
- Any suggestions on diagnostics I can run while I have access to my Mom's functioning OPO.
Much thanks for everyone's help.
I have been using a Droid Mini for many years now, and am still quite happy with it. One of my few complaints, is that the radio does not play nicely with Canada's Bell/Telus LTE network.
I've used the versions in both 4.2.2 (doesn't hand off to HSPA properly after a call or MMS, repeated service drop-outs) and 4.4.4 (hand-off is fine, but LTE connection is started/lost many times a day regardless of signal strength). While the latter one is an improvement, there are other weird bugs that seem to come with 4.4.4 ("this SIM is from an unknown source" errors which randomly kill your connection, prompting to connect to WiFi when opening apps even if all available relevant settings have been disabled).
I know the radio firmware from the Moto X is compatible, but I have a few questions before I start toying with this as it is my daily driver:
Is it OK to flash the radio partition from a newer major version? (Lollipop radio to Kitkat)
Is MSM8960PRO_BP_23255.140.93.00R the best option available? What is included with the available CyanogenMod releases?
Is the radio partition the only one that must be flashed to support this?
What's the easiest way to backup the partition before I try to update it?
Does anyone know if there is a working repository for the XT1030's stock images?
