And what about:

the gps, does it work or not?

Disableing cdma, if you use a sim card?

using one click root?
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
Gps works.

You can set the phone in global mode or cdma only via the usual setting menu.

umts only is present, but setting it FC the stetting panel.

You can put the phone in umts only via the setting menu, reachable via

i re upload the rom

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OMKC62GF

i deasable all the chinese apk, re install all the english apk and the rom is lite and fast. And the 3g (hspa) works very well in france, a lot of better than the xt862 rom ;-)
[Motorola Droid 3] DroidXY:
Is the one click root working for you?

For me its not, but I installed an ota update which is available for this version..
[Motorola Droid 3] mvp3:
before you update the ota,need use one click root first,than download ota rootkeeper,do a root backup,than after update the ota,than use ota rootkeeper restore root.

sorry,I should tell you earlier.
[Motorola Droid 3] DroidXY:
alright, thanks and how do I get the market running, it says that I need an accout, i press ok and then it closes...?!
[Motorola Droid 3] mvp3:
it should be a gmail account,in the setting menu -> account could login,

if you have not the account that you can register gmail on PC.
[Motorola Droid 3] DroidXY:
Already did that, no chance
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
Dont use the cyanogen package, it doesent work.

Use the files from the xt862 or xt860 dump:

this is the list I used

FOTAkill.apk

GoogleBackupTransport.apk

GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter.apk

GoogleContatctsAdapter.apk

GoogleFeedback.apk

GooglePartnerSetup.apk

MarketUpdater.apk

MarketUploader.apk

NetworkLocation.apk

Talk.apk

Vending.apk

Just copy them on the /system/app folder with ES file manager or root explorer.

Then configure your account.

No need to reboot.

I did anything before reading this thread I dont even noticed that ther was a package linked here.

I downloaded the cianogen package somewhere else and doesent worked, compared the files with the oned ftom xt 860 and noticed they were different, so used the latter and worked like a charm.

Hello!

First of all, thank You very much for all the friends around here that are working around.

About this XT883 resource that is in the works... I would like to ask for some kind help to clarify...

Well, in my case I am still a sad owner of a Droid 3-XT862 model that is still locked (and in subsidy mode after every time that I tried the failed unlock code that I already try to purchase...by today I tried 5 diferent online sources, bought from 2 of them, both sold me the SAME 2 code numbers and both codes failed to unlock and the testing of them put my phone in subsidy mode... I found that if I remove the battery for some long time and boot up WITHOUT the Verizon SIM, then the option for enter the unlock code is available again but after a failed code inmediately return to subsidy mode)... :-(

So... I would like to ask for help/info/advice... about if the file rom for XT883 may allow me to unlock the phone if I flash it (I mean unlock for outside USA networks...), since I suspected that the codes that I received may be the codes to really unlock the phone when the phone was manufactured by Motorola, but as some posts suggest, seems like if Verizon change the codes for some phones so the Moto unlock codes are not working.

I am patiently waiting for more info/hacking by now, since I am somewhat affraid that if I flash the XT883 file in the current state, I may put my phone in a worst condition and also I am unsure if it may me allow to unlock my phone (I wonder since seems that the XT883 write on to several deep areas of the D3 system, so I wonder it may write in the section where the Network Lock code algorithm works...), this because, since as far I understand all the friends that already tested the XT883 file, did the test over previously UnLocked phones,and the phones where fully unlocked tested before to flash the XT883 version.

So, there is any hope for people like me that have locked Droid 3, in waiting for a mod version of this XT883 rom, in order that may make possible to unlock and make D3 working properly unlocked???

Please if could be possible somewhat detailed answer to avoid bothering too much with additional questions, I would be very gratefull.

Thanks again for kind attetion and best regards.

[Motorola Droid 3] DroidXY:
Its all working fine know, just did a fresh "install". first impression is that it defently behaves better with sim card use then the xt862 rom.

Thans a lot for your help
[Motorola Droid 3] mvp3:
How did you install this package?

The package need flash via recovery mode (X+power,than press volume - + same time,than select this package)
[Motorola Droid 3] Raa_1:
I know Call Forwarding is disabled, hence my willingness to try the new radio to enable it.

MMS issue resolved.

Tethering hack won't work as i'm in Aus on a GSM/UMTS network, and the hack is for CDMA networks.

Any other ideas?
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
Call forwarding works on xt883, tethering works both on xt862 and xt883.

just change the following rows

to

ro.mot.eri=1

ro.cdma.nbpcd=1

in build.prop

And your settings menu will not crash anymore.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
The file /system/build.prop

Use es file manager with root enabled or root explorer or do it from a pc via adb (using a decent editor, NOT notepad)
[Motorola Droid 3] jchenny:

How do I add Facebook and Twitter to the Social Network?

I copied "serviceaccounts.db" from XT862 ROM and replace the existing one, plus also copies Blur_Facebook.apk and Blur_Twitter.apk....

Both showed up in Account, but unfortunately cannot login...

Does anyone have any idea?
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
You are right, good to know...
[Motorola Droid 3] Sparkimus:
Maybe you need the Twitter and Facebook authenticator apps as well?
[Motorola Droid 3] jchenny:

I think the problem is that we need to have MOTOBLUR logged in before we can use any of the services...but this is the part i have no idea about how to it sort out...
[Motorola Droid 3] iggihk:
Great Rom! Thank you very much! I finally can forward calls!

But there are 2 small problems after flasing this rom.

1) The picture of the person on incoming call is tiny. Is there anyway to adjust it?

2) the "System update" is disable, do i need that?

I don't know why that is disabled,if you want to update ota,I have uploaded it,see initial post.

ME863 and XT883 are completely different.

Yes they are different ROM, but in theory they should be able to share the same applications...

By the way, can you login to MOTOBLUR via Gallery?

[Motorola Droid 3] jchenny:
You need to switch you contact photo to a larger or higher resolution ones.
[Motorola Droid 3] iggihk:
Just tried... but it did not work.

It still display a very tiny picture...
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
I can confirm this is a "problem" of this rom, maybe you can fix that replacing the dialer with the one from the verizon rom, havent tried myself because I like more the Chinese dialer, even with the tiny contact photo.
[Motorola Droid 3] mvp3:
the Chinese dialer has Call recording feature
[Motorola Droid 3] xaser66:
Well...In my frsutrting and painful process looking for a way to network unlock my phone, I try flashed this xt883 rom by means of a little change in the reset script that was kind provided by GamezR2EZ on this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1295839

and it goes fine as the phone could boot fine and running... change to english ... but sadly, still network Locked and the keys input *#*#2468#*#*in dial-pad, jsut at the moment that type the last "*" the input dissapear of the dial box, so I mannually reboot but sadly no Network unlock success and the option to change to gsm-umts make FC. I can change to global mode but anyway didnt recognize my 2g or 3g network with my local sim.

Any help/suggestion about what could may write into the section of unlock code register that may at least may allow the unlock codes from internet seller that I already have may work (and that I suspect are the original Moto unlock codes, but that since some info around may be changed by verizon at the first activation on their network and my phone was was activated by the original owner on verizon network, so I guess if this could be the reason because the net sellers unlock codes didnt work until now...)

Thanks for attention and best regards...
[Motorola Droid 3] jchenny:
Did you unlocked your Verizon Network Lock before you flash to XT883?

There is no way for you to unlock the Verizon Network Lock after flashed to XT883, you need to flash back to XT862 and unlock the Verizon Lock, then flash back to XT883.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
... and apply the OTA update to XT883 to avoid FC when putting it in UMTS only.
[Motorola Droid 3] jchenny:
"I can confirm" I do not have this problem in this ROM....

My works perfectly...
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
mmm have you tried setting the rom in english too ?
[Motorola Droid 3] jchenny:
Yes, no problem as well.

I did have the same problem before I re-assign all the photos with the "stock Contact application" "on the phone" (not using SyncMyPix etc.) with a better quality image though....
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
1) what's the difference between x+power and m+power?

edit: and volume min/plus + power for that matter?

2) What exactly is "Google Mobile Service Full Version for XT883". Is it navigation?

3) No offense to the OP, but can someone make a simple guide to flash this for use with GSM/SIM, in english. The 1st post is unclear and I'm not sure if it's still up-to-date
[Motorola Droid 3] xaser66:
Hi friends!

First of all, thank you very much for reply...

@jchenny

Thanks, well, in fact, by know is almost a month since I received my Droid 3 (which I bought with Clean ESN but the original seller activate it on Verizon, so, is suspected that Verizon may change the unlock code that originally motorola had set for my phone, for one code of Verizon's internal system) So by today I made my try with 4 diferent online unlock codes providers, but all them have the smae 2 codes that I already have since the first provider that I contacted... and sadly BOTH fails...

I tried also with a turbosim but also failed, so, I finally came to flash the original VRZ rom and later the XT883 rom in a hope that if the XT883 rom may write over the radio section, may possible the code *#*#2468#*#* may possible unlock my phone mainwhile it is in XT883 rom... but also No luck and my phone is still network locked.... :-(

@Solutor

Thank You again for another kind suggestion for help, in fact I would like to ask how is the process for apply the update, since I am using linux, so I use the moto-fastboot util that kindly GamezR2EZ put at this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1295839

BUT, well I already try to return to original Verizon Verizon 5.5.959, from XT883, but now the process give me errors...

Any help for return to Verizon 5.5.959?

and also, any new help in order to try to unlock will be very welcome.

Thanks to all and best regards!
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
I went back and forth from XT862 to XT883 half dozen of times, if RSDlite is working correctly there isn't any problem, so check the rsd installation, eventually use an xp machine to be sure.

[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
Although I'm a long time linux user, I've never used linux to flash the phone.

You haven't a windows installation handy ?

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------

Just noticed you are trying to use an old verizon rom, use the latest one I'm sure the problem is there.

Sometimes you can't downgrade the motorola roms.
[Motorola Droid 3] xaser66:
Hi Solutor!

Thanks for reply... well, by now, I manage to got my droid 3 again in verizon rom, and yes, I suspect that the mess is with older version that the one on the phone, since I used a file that I found some weeks ago, (swu.zip) that seems to be in this link: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/09/09/droid-3-sbf-released-to-ease-hacking-fears:

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/09/09/droid-3-sbf-released-to-ease-hacking-fears/

I unzip it and looks like the other set of files of XT883 and older verizon rom, so, I used the same script in linux from the GamezR2EZ post, and it work fine (I started to found really comfortable this script... seems fine if need to only flash a particular partition...). and the swu.zip reports a System version 5.6.890, so seems a more recent version that I had previously.

Sadly, the hated Locked status is still there, and so the subsidy mode additional lock every time that I try the failed unlock code (subsidy mode could be reseted by remove battery by 15min).So the phone is by now again bootin fine in Verizon rom... but locked...

By now, I found some info... first, BEFORE my phone fall in Subsidy mode, the *#06# reports correct the imei number, BUT SINCE my phone fall in subsidy mode, the command *#06# report the MEID DEC and MEID HEX numbers... I may remember that somebody was asked by verizon rep for the MEID number in order to give the Unlock Network code, so I wonder if the internet sellers could generate/provide a diferent unlock code if they are feed with a MEID number (so, I wonder if the verizon unlock code number is generated by the MEID and that this is diferent from a generated from a IMEI number of the same phone... nevermind... I only wonder desperate becuase this awful lock network phone... :-(

Also, I found some info about that Verizon dont provide global services on my country, so, I wonder if this could mean that when recognize my local network the verizon rom refuses to accept the unlock codes???....

anyway, Thanks again for kind replies and please friends, additional clues?

Best regards
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
I'm afraid that my useful suggestions ended on my previous messages, I'm not in US, never had a Verizon or Global phone before, so my skill about unlocking verizon phones is pretty limited.

I hope some American people can help you better with that issue.
[Motorola Droid 3] onethreeteeh:
does anyone know how to change the assisted dialing settings on this rom?

it's not using the correct one for my location, so any calls or messages from contacts who's numbers arent in the full international format for australia (+61xxxxxxxxx) are just displaying the phone number rather than their name
[Motorola Droid 3] rvschuil:
Trying to get into recovery after flashing this ROM gives me an error with a triangle and an exclamation mark. Could it have anything to do with me installing Clockworkmod before i flashed this? I'll try to do the SBF again, perhaps something went wrong there..?
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
push volume up and down together, when you see the triangle.
[Motorola Droid 3] rvschuil:
Oh, wow, thanks. I guess i am indeed a noob.

Edit: I agree. The GSM reception with this ROM is indeed better than the Verizon one. How can that be? Is there a different radio firmware on this one?
[Motorola Droid 3] Raa_1:
Yes, and it's unlocked, so non-Verizon owners (like me) can use options like call forwarding, call waiting, etc! *cheer*
[Motorola Droid 3] eXecuter.bin:
It's not nessesaily better, it just have a better signal strength scaling for the reception icon
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
And given the os use that value to switch in 2g, this translates in better.

BTW surely the difference is not in the radio part:

The same odd measurement is present in any verizon rom for D3 and D2g (a total of five roms), so must not be a bug but a wanted "feature".

On D2g the cyanogen rom uses the same radio, but show the correct signal.

I guess the only possible xplaination at this point is that verizon did it purposely, to show some (inexistent) superiority of CDMA over GSM.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
So how hard would it be to make a ROM based on this XT883 - OTA updated, debloated, with google services, and OTAroot-restored? :D
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
Install it once, so you can appreciate the spared time...:D
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I would make one if I could :(
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
ATM is hard because the bootstrap doesn't works on the XT883 rom.

Edit: I have to correct myself, because I've just tested the new safestrap and it's working.

So we have access to to the custom recovery in the XT883 too !!!!
[Motorola Droid 3] nikeusfr:
That's a very good news, i suppose this is the 0.92 (v92) safestrap :-)
[Motorola Droid 3] thingonaspring:
Whoa - what a confused and messy thread.

I'd like to try clearing up exactly what's going on here by asking a few questions - we'll see what comes out and I'll update this post with the results.

Radio ROM

- Is the XT883 Radio ROM flashable on XT862 and XT860?

---- XT862 - YES

- Are any special steps required to achieve this?

---- Use moto-fastboot under win/linux

- Does the XT883 Radio ROM provide any advantages/disadvantages over XT860 and 862 Radio ROM?

- Is the XT883 Radio ROM usable with non-XT883 System ROMs (e.g. 5.6.890 verizon, CM7.1)?

---- XT862 - NO, BUT "Swapping the build.prop between the phones is enough to loose the radio, so this is not a definitive answer, likely the right radio/build.prop/libril combination is enough to get the XT883 radio working on XT862 (and viceversa)" - The Solutor

System ROM

- Is the XT883 System ROM flashable on XT862 and XT860?

"Yes, the phone boots, and likely works, but the screen remains black (likely because the different kernel)" - The Solutor

- Are any special steps required to achieve this?

- Is the XT883 System ROM rootable?

"The SBF is rootable, the OTA update is not, but root can be achived via OTA rootkeeper" - The Solutor

- Is the XT883 ROM usable with Hashcode's safestrap recovery, once rooted?

"Yes, but nandroid backup doesn't works for unknown reasons" - The Solutor

- What are the advantages/disadvantages of the XT883 System ROM, compared to 5.6.890 Verizon?

"Advantages: Better dialer (with recorder), real signal measurement (this means you can use 3G in low signal zones), 3G/H indication, call forwarding menu, some additional FW

Disvantages: Bootstrap doesent works, safestrap partly works, google apps has to be installed manually" - The Solutor

I suspect I already know the answers to some of these questions, but I'll assume nothing in the hope of getting the latest info.

[edit] it's quiet.... too quiet

[edit2] tried radio rom against 5.6.890. No signal, unknown baseband reported. It's a no-go.

[edit3] massive tip of the hat @The Solutor for his answers
[Motorola Droid 3] Nanostrike:
I'd like to add a question.

If you have an actual XT883 phone, can it be flashed with Droid3 custom roms?

Thanks much!
[Motorola Droid 3] beard0:
Since they are running android 2.3.5 and that is unrootable then they would have no way to flash other Roms so the answer to your question is no :) but good question though!

/Droid3
[Motorola Droid 3] jchenny:
But I flashed my unroot XT862 to XT883 via RSD without any problem though...

And i think only ME862 is running 2.3.5 now...
