Hi all - my phone is a Star S5 MTK6589T 2gb RAM 1.5Ghz

Could someone be so kind to tell me, what I am missing out here...?
I have tried different custom roms, made for my mtk6589t. Some of them does not "support" my carrier or something like that, I have no carriers to choose from when I wan't to "select carrier manually"??? - It's just showing some numbers without carrier names, but my APN settings are as they should be...

All from working ROM:
So I have tried copy/pasting modem.img
Copy/paste the baseband file in the mddb folder (working baseband for me is : MOLY.WR8.W1248.MD.WG.MP.V7.P1, 2013/04/10 00:41)
Copy/paste all in the firmware folder
Flash Baseband recovery from SD

Nothing seems to work, even though I have compared contents of the mddb folder and firmware folder to be exactly the same, I can only find/choose my carrier in one of the roms???
I don't understand this,.. Both or several ROM's are made for the Star S5 MTK6589, but there is a difference in this for some - meaning me.

Are there something that I need to do different, for it to work?
How can I modify the ROM I wanna use, with info regarding carrerinfo/3G from the working ROM in order to get it to work?
I would really like to understand this...:confused:
