XT1803 European Firmware

[seanoo]

Hello,

I'm hoping to return my XT1803 to stock , and I'm just wondering if anybody knows of (or even just a Nandroid/TWRP backup) a link to download the European version of the stock firmware for the XT1803?

The official firmwares on the Firmware Centre Website that I've had a look at (and all of the download links that I've seen), are all for the US version, unless I'm just being an idiot and these would work too (but then it would be the wrong baseband?)?

Many thanks in advance for helping.

You got try it minus the modem(s) and fsg partitions.
No guarantees though.

I went ahead and gave it a go, everything is working however I seem to be unable to get any 4G signal now.

Correct apn enabled?

Correct apn enabled?

Yes. 2G and 3G work fine, just 4G doesn't work.

Well, if you skipped flashing the modems and fsg partitions, nothing should have changed as far as radios and bands.
I could only suggest resetting network settings - there's an option in the os for that, but I can't remember where right off (I'm running 8.1 and is different in 7.x), but it is there.
If that's a no go - factory reset the device.
If that's a no go restore the bu of what you had and be happy with it.
A second to last resort would be flashing the entire stock firmware you have, including modems and fsg, and see what happens. Just make sure the flash is successful - it should say okay after each command is run.
The last option would be to see a moto/Lenovo (whoever) service center and have them flash the stock firmware.
Personally, I would stay with custom roms, but the state of custom for this device right now is questionable at best. There are enough of them, but I have little confidence in most of them - very few work 100% but the few that do are decent enough.
Ps - something I have seen is a loss of imei when going back to stock (not by me - I've flashed stock a few times and no issues, but I have xt1806). Check that.

That is what I thought in regards to the radio, so I flashed the one from the firmware as a what's the worse that could happen, but it has made no difference, except the signal is now much worse, I did try resetting the network settings but it hasn't helped.
I did want to stay with a custom rom, but I was unable to find one I liked, as you say, the custom roms for this device are questionable and most of them are not polished.
I normally use my phone as a hot spot, and I really need the extra speeds that 4G gives, which is why I'm looking to fix the issue if possible.
I did have a look to see if there's a service centre near me, but I can't see one, so I may just wait to see anybody is able to provide me with the correct firmware (or even just the modem and fsg would be excellent).

Did you back everything up in twpr - including efs partition after unlocking?
