---

See HERE!!!! For european with Argentinian radio!!!

I've changed the radio on droid pro... (american)

But I didn't remember how!!

Edit...
Yes I know....! With rsdlite... Ok rsdlite can rewrite the radio. Sbf_flash no...
The American users know this thing, but for European it is a good news, because they can flash an american/argentinian sbf without changing radio.... Naturally with sbf_flash...
Flashing american on european with rsdlite will brick your phone, without changing the radio...
European on American with rsdlite will brick your phone, without changing your radio...
But if you'll use sbf flash, your phone will be glad!
You must see only if you have a locked kernel... (argentinian 2.3.6 I'm sure... for american 2.3.4, I don't know...)

Attention!!!
Argentinian gsm is 800/2100
European gsm is 900/1200
So we can understand the european's issues with argentinian rom....


I'm always sure that we must search the radio in the sbf! Not files...

I've done some steps here, only for trying...

1) Put your phone in bootloader mode

2) Start with Linux Knoppix live cd

3) Open terminal emulator from your folder where you have your sbf (i've used 2.26.20 verizon SBF..))

4) put also sbf_flash in the same folder ( you can find here:http://blog.opticaldelusion.org/search/label/sbf_flash )

chmod +x sbf_flash

then

sudo ./sbf_flash -r --bpsw 2260.sbf

Connect your phone...


Reboot and now you'll have a new radio!

Ok... Only for testing... I've saved on my dropbox folder a euril.zip, extract lib_moto.ril and replace with yours in system/lib (rename before yours)... Before set your pin sim card... with a new one!
Set permission to rw-r-r... Reboot...
Try...
If you have any issue set airplane mode on, reboot and replace it with yours renamed, reboot again...

dettofatto,
Replacing the files did not help.
USSD does not work.
It may have something else to fix?

No.. I'm thinking...

For Your issue on gsm, try to install this file with clockwordmod, make backup before...

Just tried the hack. Unfortunately I don't notice any progress.
In fact the extracted files are missing after reboot (no bp_nvm_default folder). I searched for them earlier in order to use basebandswitcher but never found them.

Maybe the whole telephony module really is emulated in java (see /system/etc/init.goldfish.sh)? But what would it mean for us?

I also tried 3 other ways yesterday without success:
- tried to flash bp.img from Blur_Version.4.7.3XT610.Verizon.en.US.zip --> status 7 error in CWM
- flash a zip containing radio.img of a european Pro+ update --> installs too fast without any noticable difference. Looks like he is ignoring the radio
- flashed JackpotCalvin's ICS rom which also includes bootmenu with a 2nd boot config only containing init.mapphone_umts.rc --> I may have done something wrong during the process but coulnd't see any difference

@any user of the US-verizon model: can you choose between more than "USA Band" when you do the following?
- dial *#*#4636#*#*
- go to "Phone Information"
- press menu softkey
- select radio band

@anyone with original european froyo: what choices do you have?

Ive seen different models (including Pro+) which always let me choose between 5-6 different basebands.

In all pro we can choose only usa band (also in european froyo...)
Try to move manually the folder bp_nvm
Or Try this...
Install a nandroid backup of original american 2.3.3 (very original!!)
then try to recive the update from verizon and install it

Will I need to pull battery for 3 hours if I do the verizon update?

Boh....!!!! But I've seen your pm! Did you phone restart?
In my experience my phone restart in about 3 ours... coming from froyo...
But coming from 2.3.6?

I don't know if this will help you or not, but I have the VZW 4.7.3 SBF file now. I just got it from a friend who pulled it from Motorola's server.

I have not tested it yet and have no need to as my Pro is already on 4.7.3 and rooted and is an engineering model anyway.

I will upload it somewhere to post publicly tonight or tomorrow when I get the chance.
