Hi, i have a Moto E 2015 XT 1524, one friend bought it in Spain, but I live in Argentina and the bands are different, in Spain 3g works in 2100/900. In argentina 850/1900, so my movil only works in 2g... the question is if I flashing a new base band.... the 3g will be work?
Sorry for my bad english...
From what I understand, all Moto E models support at least 3G and some 4G. This is at the hardware level. Now your baseband is a firmware thing which will allow your device to communicate with phone towers in your region. So unless your firmware supports two or more bands, you most certainly will need to flash a new stock ROM for the region and service provider as needed.
To answer your question... If the new region you are flashing a new ROM for supports 3G, then yes you should get a 3G signal. If the signal is weak, then it may receive as 2G strength.
I am in the US where every service is at least 3G capable. So every smart phone is also 3G capable. But even still on my 4G version of Moto E I sometimes get a 2G signal. So it's hard to answer yes or no.
If you flash a ROM for Spain and get no signal, you have flashed the wrong ROM. If you flash a ROM and get 2G, then perhaps you are in a bad area with low reception.
In theory, you should receive the same signal as the people around you-Give or take a bar.
If 4G is supported in the area you want to move to and your device supports it as well, then you may very well get that signal too.
Does this help to explain it?
Thanks for your answer... In your opinion... If I flash a new stock ROM the 3g will be works? My model isn't released in Argentina yet... If I flash a firmware from UE my phone will be work?
Only if 3G is supported by the carrier in the region you wish to be. And assuming that the carrier is capable with the ROM you flash. Sometimes cross threading ROMs to a new service works. It all depends.
Thanks for your responses, the technical service told me: Bands Red 2G GSM / GPRS / EDGE 850/900/1800/1900
Red 3G bands UMTS / HSDPA / HSPA + 850/1700/1900/2100.
So I guess it will work if I change my stock rom. What I need is the XT1527 RM, is the United States and works in Argentina. How do I download it? ... And most importantly ... can I put this rom in my phone although the model is another? ...
Please... I need the xt1527 base band... Someone can help me???
Reflash a compatible stock ROM from the following link to fix your base band:

XT1527 is in this list
Soltion!

Hello!
I had a simillar problem with the XT1524. I also live in Argentina.
The XT model is international, so at a hardware level you have all the bands, but it is limited by the software.
The solution is (tranks to JasonPro11=:
1. Download "4G LTE Switch" from PlayStore
2. Run the app (does not require special permissions).
3. Go to "Set preferred network type” and choose LTE/GSM.
4. In the upper corner go to "Set Radio Band" and choose "USA Band".
5. Restart and enjoy LTE and 3G in Argentina...
I´ve also published this post in Grupo Android (spanish version).

Hi everybody.
I purchased a unlocked gsm optimus t (t-mobile) in USA last week. Well, in my country we have a 850/1900 wcdma band (it seems the same at USA), but, i can´t conect to 3G network.
Searching for the phone specs, i find it the optimus t work in 1700/2100 network, it´s that correct??. If the answer is yes, it is possible to change wcdma frequency in this phone??.
Thanks for you help.
Pd: I read if i install a correct firmware for my country (Chile) is possible to change it.
I don't think so. There are 2 versions of the phone. I've bought mine in Chile, and no matter what ROM I use, I still can connect to the 3G network.
However, I think you should keep your phone and wait for Nextel or VTR networks to become operational, which will work on those bands.
You should see those 3G networks doing a network search on your mobile.

I'm still fiddling and have changed my baseband to AUS2 which I believe is 850mhz only which in theory should pick up a signal because telecom xt network is 850/2100mhz only. The problem now I think is that the 850mhz radio frequency is not working?? When I change it to AUS band (pretty sure it's 850/2100mhz) my phone gets a signal and also all the other bands which have 2100mhz so my thoughts are that my phone is only picking up the 2100mhz signal which is only in a few areas in nz -.- Now I have read that you can access your phones service menu via dialler codes but I cannot find any for the huawei ideos x1 which is a shame because all of the codes havn't worked. Or I read somewhere that flashing a new modem to my device with the 850mhz band in it will also solve the problem but I have no idea which one will be suitable for me.......basically I need phone signal for work etc and have noo idea what to to do to resolve the problem and that's why I came to this forum in hope that one of you experts can help haha. If anyone can suggest something once again thaks

Jason
I am running @epicboy 's CM11 build. I am in Ghana, west Africa and we don't have T-mobile here. The device is unlocked but interestingly, only one mobile network here works with the phone. And even that only gives me an edge connection. Is there some kind of modem I can flash ? Or is der a hardware fix I can try? Thanks
That depends on the band of the network you're trying to use and the bands that the phone has. The network I use here in Jamaica only only gives me edge but the other network allows me to use 3g because they support the 3g band that the vibrant has. There isn't anthing you can do about it to my knowledge and even if you can do something (I think) it won't be much or make a huge difference.
Hello everyone ... I bought a Moto E XT1524 in Spain. The phone works on 3G bands 900 and 2100. In Argentina, the country where I live now, the 3G bands are 850/1900. Because of this my phone only works in 2G. Looking I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/general/unlock-hspa-bands-moto-g-1700mhz-xt1032-t2878441 that explaining how to unlock bands. The question is whether you know if the phone will have this possibility. I mean, if the chipset supports these bands and doing the procedure will fix my problem. Or definitely is a limitation of hardware.
Thanks!!!
I assume that the hardware is the same between phones, and that the radio bands are set by firmware. If I'm right about this, you would need to flash firmware on your phone that supported the bands that you want. However I am only guessing about this.

Good luck and expect a modem brick.
I am having a problem with 3G network for along time even though we have 3G coverage in my place
i installed lolipop 5.0.1 and it worked perfectly but the 3g problem still
im in north africa but my phone manufactured in brazil ,under the battery it's written ANATEL and a number of 10 digits following it Do you think this phone works only in brazil and only under Alcatel. network ?
now an idea comes into my mind is to install a brazil region ROM with a brazilian carrier , but some told me ROMs are all the same and it won't resolve your problem
Do you think this phone works only in brazil and only under Alcatel. network ?
Dear experts please advice me in my case .....Thank you in advance
Each phone is set to use different bands. So unless the band's match up you will have issues.
but i do not have that carrier in my country here
It's not the carrier. It's the band's that are programmed into the device itself. This is something you have to be very careful about when getting devices from other carriers and countries as they don't all use the same bands.
I would look your phone up and see what bands it supports and then check what bands tour carrier uses. It's most likely they don't use the same ones so you will never see 3g.
so how do i check the programmed band on my phone?
By checking the device under the carrier that it was made for.
