[Q] chat-ril and AT comand reference for MDM 6600 (Motorola Atrix 4G modem)

Hi,
can anyone tell me if you can use /system/bin/chat-ril to communicate with Motorola Atrix 4G modem?. The modem is MDM 6600 (I presume Qualcomm manufacturer). Manual page (or source code) would be great.
I need to send AT command to change frequency band form USA to EURO.
Also, If anyone has or can get the AT command reference for the MDM 6600 modem used in Motorola Atrix 4G?
This is a sample form logcat -b radio while setting USA radio band:
Code:
[5387]> QUERY_AVAILABLE_BAND_MODE
onReq: reqCode = 66, dataLen = 0
Ch4 > 5908AT+GRDE=10012,0,0,0
Read Ch4 << 5908+GRDE=10012,0,0,8,8001E80
[5387]< QUERY_AVAILABLE_BAND_MODE {2, 2}
[5388]> SET_BAND_MODE 2
onReq: reqCode = 65, dataLen = 4
Ch4 > 5909AT+SRDE=10012,0,0,8,0000A
Read Ch4 << 5909+SRDE=OK
[5388]< SET_BAND_MODE
What the hell is AT+GRDE ???

hi
i am also at the same point. i am in europe and selected usa gsm band. i am not able to use gsm. have you found something or any progress?

No, I haven't.
But, I this situation if you would have the AT&T SIM and account, you wouldn't be able to use your cell phone anywhere but in USA. The roaming wouldn't work.
This is just wrong!

so there should be a solution.
how to update atrix firmware?

Same problem here...
We could try an "AT&F" to restore factory settings.
Not sure about the chat-ril syntax. Found the chat man page. Tried:
$ chat-ril '' 'AT&F'
[2] - Stopper (tty output) chat-ril "" AT
But does not seem to work. Is this the correct syntax ?

If you are on UNIX, just type "man chat" on the console.
Otherwise search "chat man page" on the Internet (sorry, I'm not yet allowed to post links here ).

I've have managed to get GSM. I can make and receive call and 2G works, but not 3G. I don't know why... yet.
So, this is what I have done:
1. Boot Atrix holding the Volume Down key (Volume Up key is select so don't press it yet).
2. Select BP HW Bypass BP Only by pressing Volume Up key. There will be 5 new devices that Windows detects.
3. You will need MDM6600 Baseband drivers. The drivers I found are for Windows 7 x64 and they are not signed. So I needed to boot Windows (F8 key) with option "Disabe driver signature enforcement"
4. Then, you will need Qualcomm QPST or new QXDM. I used QPST 2.7 build 355.
5. Open QPST RF NV Item Manager. You need to select COM port assigned to MDM6600 Baseband Diagnostic Interface
I would suggest to be very careful with this tool since you can screw your phone beyond imagination. Just don't use any command that writes to phone.
6. select File -> Read form phone.
7. you need to find NV_BAND_PREF_I item. There should be 2 parameters NAM = 0 and BandPref = 0. At least I had those.
Just to remind, you do this at your own risk. My techincal skills are good, but not that good. I realy don't know what all the parametars mean. I did this and got GSM only. So think twice before you do this.
I would like to ask any of the developers to help on this matter. Now, if you feel lucky proceed with next step.
8. Before doing this read this whole thread! In BandPref enter 65535 or in hex FFFF and press button above "Write NV". The value FFFF should mean "Automatic band selection".
9. reboot the phone by removing the battery (don't know any other way)
The phone should register to network upon bootup.

I've gave up trying since if I manage to send AT commands to modem, I still don't know the AT command to send.

Great job ! Have you tried forcing "CDMA only" ?
Same setup here, but can't get my Win7 systems (both 64 and 32 bit) to install the MSM6600 device drivers. Tried all Motorola drivers from 4.7 to 4.9 but none of the 5 devices are recognized.
Which drivers did you use ?

Regarding the firmware, couple of questions.
1. Are you in Europe? Does the 3G (UMTS/HSUPA/HSDPA) connection works?
I'm asking this because I have realized that the WCDMA I Band (2100 MHz) is not enabled, so the modem when searches the band automatically will not even include 2100 Mhz band.
2. When you uploaded the new firmware can you still boot Atrix to HW BP Bypass mode?
3. Can you get root with the new firmware?

I am in Europe.
- Dial: *#*#4636#*#*"
- Select: "Phone info"
- Select "GSM/CDMA (auto PRL)"
With this setting, my phone is currently displaying:
- Network type = UMTS
- Notification bar shows "H+"
- A few speed tests reach rx speed of about 4 Mbps, so it is definitely working

If its not a problem for you when you install the drivers can you send me your QCN file so I could compare with my values. You can use NV Item Manager to read from phone and write to file (sorry if I'm playing smart but I don't know you level of experience).

If anyone is interested, I managed to flash Atrix with OLYFR_U4_1.5.2_SIGNED SBF image. After the flash I have UMTS/HSDPA connectivity and the cell phone stayed unlocked.
I reviewed the modem configuration file .QCN files for both configurations. I seems the only difference is NV_BAND_PREF_I parameter.
With USA band selected it is:
NAM = 0 and BandPref = 0
And with the new flash image is:
NAM = 0 and BandPref = 384 (decimal, or 180 Hex)
( not the FFFF that I have stated before)

Gogy,
glad to know you have your Atrix working again.
Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
My Atrix is gone. Dismissed. This phone is crawling with bugs and I am really becoming allergic to bugs due to very long daily exposure since I was a child...
Cheers.

Not pleased to hear that. Bugs? What bugs?
I didn't come accross any... yet, and I hope I won't.

Lots of random issues.
Audio glitches, stuttering. Sudden resets when both cores are under stress. Reboot loops. Not powering up even if attached to the charger.Hot device even if apparently idle. Battery from 30% to 0% in 20 minutes. Buggy multimedia subsystem drivers. Cheap and noisy camera sensors.
All of the above also with stock firmware.
May well be hardware related, but really I don't want to find out.
Apart from issues, the user experience is crap: Motoblur lags behind competing products. Contacts images are not synced with Exchange servers. UI widgets are few and poorly designed. Mail and Calendar apps are a pain to use.
Google's crappy/broken/incomplete/poor Android API and the absurd choice of Java as the programming language have their responsibilities. But competing Android products do much better to work around these issues.
You asked me and I am just reporting my personal experience and opinion. YMMV.

motorola atrix 4g - usa band selected, no more euro service
currently living in the uk with an unlocked at&t motorola atrix 4g. accidently selected 'usa band' and have since not been able to locate service for any of the uk / european networks providers (eg, orange, o2, t-mobile) that were previously available.
i'm having a hard time deciphering whether or not this issue has been resolved:
1) has this issue been resolved by anyone as of yet? and if so,
2) can someone please provide clear step-by-step instructions, from start to finish, to demonstrate how to reach this resolution? i'm a bit of a layman

is there a way to seperate the inbox for SIM 1 and SIM 2
meaning
SIM 1 will go to default messaging inbox

reason for this is as we have a dual sim, i think it serve more purpose to be able to seperate which sms is from which number

Looks like the a2SD is pretty buggy with this issue. Restarts occasionally when loading big apps and games.
Battery life is little low too. Can you move the launcher to /data? Like, since I prefer adw.
Dual SIM function is a little buggy. Shows range, but says not on network when trying to call.
Do you know why the phone does not lock if the original LG home app is not running?

We need a good ROM
Hi all,
I'm in the same boat...
I've got it since a week (bought at android-sale, ).
The phone itself is really well made, excellent build quality.
The screen is really brilliant, and all is functionnal with a good reactivity and fluidity.
The iPhone theme is really good (I also got a real iPhone 5 so I can compare both )
Unfortunately, there is a lot of chinese crap... and no Google Play
I've read all other topics about others GooPhone but I think we can't flash any ROM from these other model (Y5, I5, ...).
I'm ready to test any compatible ROM

1. Switch Operating System Code: *#12369#*
Imput this code at dailing interface, the phone will switch operating system between original Android and iOS Theme.
2. Access Factory Mode Code: *#*#3646633#*#*
This code is availble for most phones with MTK chipset, but please use this code carefully, because if you changed some referance, it will affect phone's feature.
3. Hold Home Button 3 seconds
When you hold the home button 3 seconds, the phone will appear on the screen three virtual buttons.
4. Double Click Home Button
Double click the home button, the screen will appear the apps you opened recently.
5. Hold Home Button 15 seconds
If your phone can't charging, or the system is dead, hold the home button for 15 second, the phone will restore to default factory status.

Don't uninstall any.... cause thats how I bricked my phone. Just wait for a STOCK rom to be available than you can do whatever you like. I already know how to load a rom on this phone but I can't find the STOCK ROM anywhere.

Hi z_man3007,
Did you try this?

Yes, I have tried that but nothing....if you hold the power button for 15 seconds it will turn your phone off. If you hold Vol - + Power Button, it will show you recovery menu but in the recovery menu you can select options using Vol - and Vol + but you cannot execute any command ... I have tried power button and home button nothing works. Thank you for your assistance.
Note: I did try holding the HOME button for 15 seconds nothing happens.

Later, I will upload the drivers and step by step procedure.... how to load a rom on Goophone i5s. It needs a special flash tool to be used in order to flash or load a rom on this phone. Since, my phone is bricked, I have tried many different things, I have even installed rom from Goophone i5, since both model have different display, nothing shows on the screen except color like rainbow. The phone boots up fine its just that display wont work. If I press Vol - or Vol + button I can hear the volume going down and also going up. I desperately need the STOCK rom. Is there a way to extract the STOCK ROM from a functional Goophone i5s?

Hi guys, this is my first post on xda forum.
Goophone.hk doesn'tt sell this model anymore. You can check on theire's webpage.
Now they have I5S model with better specs. Here is the official video: "bangpai . taobao . com/group/thread/1287552-280921683.htm" (remove spaces)
Few weeks ago I saw I5S model with low screen resolution on goophone's website. But this was a short sale to sold these phones. Now they sells new I5S phones.

[HOW TO] Force 3G (WCDMA) use.

There are some roms that does not allow the "3g only" option, especially kitkat-based custom roms. This can make you lose your mind to find a solution or even uninstall the rom, but you can easily solve the problem.
NO ROOT REQUIRED
--------------------------------------------------
1 - Open Dialer
2 - Type *#*#4636#*#*
3 - Open Phone information
4 - Scroll down and find Set preferred network type
5 - Choose WCDMA only
6 - Return to home and you are good to go!
--------------------------------------------------
You need to set everytime you boot your phone!

Hi. When I use this code on my Asus Zenfone 4 (A450CG) the Phone Information section is not visible. Is this normal?

force 3g
This does not work on LG G3 Lollipop 5.0 Software Version V20h-234-10. Is there any way to force 3g on Lollipop?

I found a solution how to force 3G on Lollipop 5.0
Ive downloaded Toggle Network Type 5.0 apk.
It works for me

Emergency call only.

Hi all, I have the title problem, mi nexus 5 won't take signal with my Wind (ita) sim. I have tried two device, galaxy ace plus and galaxy S5 and they can take signal using same APN and located on the same desk in my house.
I've searched a lot on XDA and other forums to get a solution, but I can't find anything that's can help me. I can't seen it to Google because I can't find his original box and the original receipt.
My phone can take signal only using "xTraSmooth" rom, but is very old and I want to use Pure Nexus.
I've added this string to my build.prop it was posted as a potential solution:
"#settings
telephony.lteOnGsmDevice=1"
And I've changed *#*#4637#*#* option to LTE/GSM/wcdma auto (prl)
But at every reboot it set itself on LTE/GSM, with or without the build.prop string.
I know that is a common problem, but no one found a real solution.
Thanks in advance.

If everything works on a stock rom, you need to use a different custom ROM.

Today I will try to flash xtrasmooth or a stock factory image, thanks for the tip
----\\\UPDATE///----
Flashed same xtrasmooth, inserted string in build.prop and i do the trick with *#*#4636#*#* and the phone set itself to LTE/GSM auto (prl).
I wanto to use my nexus, why this phone have a lot of problems?
----\\\UPDATE 2///----
Flashed miui 8 global by Dio_S used the build.prop string and now work, i have to be lucky with a rom now? i don't like miui, and i will test other rom, i hope in a normal rom...
----\\\UPDATE 3///----
(i hope last update)
I've searched a lot to reach the best solution with this phone.
Now im using DarkRom and i've found a solution! Or something like a solution, hahaha.
I've downloaded "Nexus5 field test"
Give root permissions (magisk or super su, think doesn't matter)
Select three dot
Hit "Root Settings"
Select three dot
Hit "Settings (view)"
Hit LTE
Hit edit
Write your service code (id you dont have this code use this guide to get it using adb https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...radio-enable-lte-band-3-nexus-5-d820-t2928561 )
Use these settings:
Lte Enable/Disable (enable)
Band26 (disable)
Band41 (enable)
Band25 Proirity (1)
Band26 Proirity (1)
Band41 Proirity (0)
hit back to reboot and now should work, if not i don't know.
You have to reboot every time you select Airplane Mode and it will work!
Good Luck!

Can i up this post? If someone would to test my solution i will be very happy!
