[Motorola Droid RAZR] Beach_Head:
Would it be possible to activate the GSM/WCDMA radios of this phone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] matthew5025:
Eh?

2 versions of this phone.

1. VZW version aka the DROID RAZR/XT912 --> CDMA/LTE radio

2. Global version aka MOTO RAZR/XT910 --> GSM/WCDMA/HSPA
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkrabb1t:
Both versions have a GSM/WCDMA/HSPA chipset, but GSM capability has been disabled in the Verizon phone. Interestingly, the RAZR uses the Qualcomm MDM6600...which is capable of all the aforementioned networks.

As for activating the GSM radio in the Verizon version... my guess is that it will require a custom kernel of some sort...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Chirality:
The RAZR uses the TI OMAP4430, which doesn't have any built-in radios. There's no reason why the Verizon version should have GSM/WCDMA radios.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkrabb1t:
The MDM6600 is actually a modem, and not a SoC if that's what you were thinking. It's used on all of Verizon's current global phones, including the iPhone.

From the FCC on the Bionic:

And Anandtech:
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Beach_Head:
I was thinking along the same lines.

I have a Photon and the GSM bands are locked from being used on other US carriers. There have beem discussions that the radio files are what need to be changed/hacked. I wonder if the premise would be the same as I'd love to make this a global phone...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Beach_Head:
Read here: http://developer.motorola.com/products/droid-razr-xt912/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Chirality:
Bah, Qualcomm's model numbers totally threw me off...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] matthew5025:
If its listed under the official specs, shouldn't the phone have it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkrabb1t:
Yes, unless someone disabled the function. .. which is what Verizon did.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Beach_Head:
Hmmm... there doesn't seem to be much interest in this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Modifying AMSS is really dangerous and I don't think it will be possible even after a bootloader unlock as radio is protected with another "lock code". It should be unlocked only on Engineering devices.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Beach_Head:
Would it be possible to load the radios of the GSM version onto it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] babymatteo:
I dont think so...this might "permabrick' your phone.

I've been watching this thread really closely, cos i'd really love to use this phone but i have Tmobile.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkrabb1t:
If there is one thing that Moto locks its boot loader, it's specifically for that.

From what I remember, Moto has some proprietary stuff there, so cracking that will get you into a lot of legal trouble...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] matthew5025:
Wait... What? Why would someone disable such a huge feature? Also, if motorola says a phone has GSM radio and it doesn't can't you complain?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kholk:
Loading GSM radio on it won't brick it as the chip is the same, MDM6600.

The problem is loading it: the different radio bootloader (that isn't the AP bootloader that is being unlocked with ICS update) signature won't allow you to.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Beach_Head:
So this is a dead end?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] RnBass:
I am very interested in this!

I travel a lot and need gsm access in Europe and Asia.

I am tired of carrying two phones and trying to keep them synced.

With all of the smart people here we can't figure this out?

I remember enabling the fourth band on my Moto GSM E6 rokr, which was also turned off by the carrier.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] djamloops:
feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

But from what I understand, the phone is capable of utilizing gsm as well as cdma out of the box. Otherwise when you went to other countries you would not be able to use the phone. But verizon has agreements with various providers around the world to provide gsm service. And I seem to recall seeing on my device info page, while on my my verizon online access for my bionic, a number listed as the sim puk unlock code. Which may or may:mad: not unlock the phone for other sim cards, but I distinctly recall seeing it there. So check your device info page on my verizon. I just thought I'd share because some of the answers get overlooked because people simply don't try the proper channels. Myself included. For instance, who knew that the reset procedure for the razr is explained on the 2nd page of the user manual? I had already google'd it before reading it in both the printed manual and the built in help file.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Beach_Head:
Yes, it has the capability but Verizon disabled it...

The PUK code is for the SIM.

Thanks for your input but the fact of the matter is, someone really needs to hack into the system to get GSM/WCDMA enabled...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Beach_Head:
I wonder...

Would flashing the SBF of a UK Razr work?

Ideas, assistance for a n00b

Hello everybody.

A little while back I purchased a Motorola Droid Razr from Ebay, the seller said it was unlocked but he was lying and I'm now with a phone I can't use except in my home with Wifi.

So, I've been researching, looking for answers or something that can help me unlock the phone because when it always says the SIM card is from an unknown source (tried several).

I followed the instructions in this link WWW .droidrzr. com/index. php/ topic/406-rom-razrx-v11/ to flash the ROM and it worked successfully, however it still won't accept it.

Does anyone knows of something that can be done to unlock the cell for it to be able to use any SIM card (I do know about the frequencies) or can somebody at least point me in the right direction?

Why I need help? It's my first Android phone (not quite familiarized yet) and I really want to get it to work for what I bought it for.

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blkrabb1t:
I'm assuming that Verizon will unlock the feature at some point...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tspx23:
This would work. I'm going to buy one and check it out most likely.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Beach_Head:
Let us know if it works...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nameite:
Yo, it might be the same as a carrier locked device where it only accepts certain carriers.

So maybe there is an unlock code maybe?

In the service menu on my phone *#*#4636#*#* under phone info, there is an option to choose GSM/CMDA; WCDMA only etc etc

So maybe try that out to see if it works, I dont have a cmda carrier to try it on
[Motorola Droid RAZR] shubham_2206:
You can get an unlock code from this website:

http://www.cellunlocker.net/

I'm planning to buy Droid Razr from Rogers and then unlock it through this website. Easy and Cheap!!

Let me know if it worked. :)

If you have a Verizon phone hold off a couple days. The newer leaks have a global option on their phones. And it has been announced on DROID life that verizon is making the RAZR DROID 4 and rezound global phones

enable LTE in razr?

just wondering...if all the motorola razr use the same qualcomm chip, does it mean its possible for XT910 (not droid razr xt912) to be LTE enabled?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mawaisz:
so what your saying is, there's no way for me to use it worldwide, or to change any tweaks(change the radio/modem/change the kernel) by any mean? its the hardware that makes it impossible?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] KaboodleMoon:
Anyone try Radiocomm yet?

I was messing around with my old Droid Bionic and found a guide to use Radiocomm to un-block the domestic GSM bands, was thinking this might be a viable idea for the Razr as well. If I can get my hands on a testable Razr I'll see what I can do and get back to you guys.

Suitcase Fishmonger is close, but it is not an exact match. The 'L' in Fishmonger is a 90 degree angle whereas the same letter in the word GALAXY from Samsung has a rounded curve as seen below.

[Dell Streak 7] MISSDIVA:
Hi Guys

Im looking for a 'basic' tablet for my 8 yr old daughter for Christmas and I like the idea of the Streak 7. I appreciate that the screen resolution is not ideal for a 7" ...but will an 8 yr old care? I dont think so! Can you also tell me how good the wifi connection is.

I just need to know how well it plays Angry birds,Moshie Monster,Lego Universe and all the other kiddie games that kids adore.

Can someone give an honest opinion of its suitability. I have looked at loads of generic chinese tabs but too many of them get poor reviews.

Having had 3 dell computers which have served me well, Im once more heading in their direction.

Hopefully the streak will tick all my boxes so that my daughter will leave my Galaxy S2 alone:D. Thanks for your help

Regards

Julie
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
For productivity work, moving from Android 2.x to 3.x is like night and day, it's simply leaps and bounds ahead of froyo/gingerbread, but that's not what you're interested in. The screen on it isnt amazing, but it's not flat out terrible. But I really doubt you'd be able to find a better screen on a cheaper device.

Keep in mind that many of the super cheap tabs wont ever be updated/do not have market access. Even if there are many other alternative markets the android one is still by far the biggest/most important.

There are some games that are not compatable with the s7 with honeycomb installed, but the list is slowly shrinking as developers are making it compatable.

The S7's also one of the fastest (but not THE fastest) 7" tabs you can buy, and black friday is coming up and best buy (if you live in the USA) will be selling it with a black friday discount. If you buy it then it's nearly the same price as those cheap tabs you can buy.

Snag a S7 at $200 or cheaper and you'll be really hard pressed to find something to dislike about it, there's simply nothing that can compete with it at such a low price point. The closest would be the gtab 7, but even then it's still nearly $300.
[Dell Streak 7] stevedebi:
Runs angry birds great, wifi is also great.
[Dell Streak 7] NSpec:
Hi,

I have a Streak 7 and my son does as well. We both play lots of games. Angry Birds is just one of many. The streak will be a great tablet for your child as it also has some Dell toughness to it and it really is a great piece of hardware. The wifi works great. No issues at all in my house. I take it up stairs and watch movies, skype, etc... no interruptions.

i just heard toys r us is getting a froyo tab for kids, forgot where but im sure I saw it.

[Dell Streak 7] MISSDIVA:
Is that in the UK or the USA?

my 3 y/o daughter watch movies, play educational games,listens to music, learns numbers and alphabet on streak 7 without any problems, she can handle honeycomb gui for herself!. but screen protector and good nonslip case are required for DS7 to survive in child's play ;-)

concerning resolution for texting/browsing/reading - you can always increase/decrease DPI to suit your daughter's eyes!

there are good resolution tuning utilites on the market...

Hi guys and gals.

I'm quite an experienced android users. I owned Galaxy I9000 and now I own Galaxy I9100. I flash ROMs, I root my mobile with various Kernels and stratup scripts. I OC/UV my CPU as well and familiar with CWM mode. Basically, a power-user :D

I got my eee pad as a present this week and I would like if someone can bring me up to speed about basic kerenl for rooting and advanced feature kernel that is popular among the users here.:rolleyes:

How to get into download mode and recovery mode.

I did some searching and came up with many results, however, I would like a pointer or two so I could save me up some reading time.

Much appreciated :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Depends on your device serial. If yours statrting with b70(some)/b80/b90, then you can do nothing at this time.

And a little reading in the development sub-forum, will answer most of your questions.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kettlecorn:
Anything above b70 cant be rooted. I hear some of teh b70 can but not sure..

Run SBKDetect from the evelopement thread - if it says SBKv1, then you can, if says SBKv2, then you can't :)

Anyway, you can try BRK's toolkit and if you get a write error, then you can't root it now.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IT Wannabe:
No, I don't believe there's a Windows version of the SBK detect script available.

Does anyone know if running the following command using nvflash would fail if he has an SBKv2 tablet?

nvflash --bct transformer.bct --setbct --configfile flash.cfg --bl bootloader.bin --odmdata 0x300d8011 --sbk 0x1682CCD8 0x8A1A43EA 0xA532EEB6 0xECFE1D98 --sync

I have a B7O tablet that is SBKv1, so it has always worked for me, and I have no way of knowing if it would fail for an SBKv2 tablet.

gil80: One thing you could try to do is download an Ubuntu LiveCD (or any other version of Linux that has a LiveCD available). If you boot your computer from the Ubuntu LiveCD (or it can be installed to a thumbdrive if your computer can boot from USB), you could go to the xda site and download the SBKDetect script and run it. Keep in mind that anything you download using the LiveCD disappears when you shut the computer down (if you use a thumbdrive, it's possible to create a persistent data partition on the thumbdrive so that stuff you download is saved instead of discarded.

This would allow you to use Linux just long enough to run the SBKDetect script to find out if you can root your TF. If you have no Linux experience, then this might be too much for you, but if you have ever used a terminal emulator in Android, you have enough experience to use the SBKDetect script in a temporary Ubuntu Linux environment.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prink:
you can run install linux in a vmware machine, i use ubuntu
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gil80:
The Asus transformer file system is RFS or EXT4?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IT Wannabe:
Depends on where in the filesystem you are/what partition you are talking about. The "/sdcard" partition is vFAT or FAT32, I believe... this makes it so that a Windows computer can use the partition as an external USB hard drive or USB flash drive. The same is generally true for external media, such as MicroSD and SD cards, but you have the option of formatting those as NTFS yourself if you prefer (or any other filesystem that the ROM you are using recognizes).

When you get down into the root partition/root of the filesystem ("/"), you are looking at EXT4 (possibly EXT3... again, depends on the ROM). Other partitions on the internal flash memory may use yaffs/yaffs2 (I have seen this when searching the Googlies, but I have no experience with any partitions that use it... I have only ever messed with the LNX partition, which is 6 on the TF101-A1), and yet others are encrypted.

A ROM developer would be able to tell you exactly what partitions use exactly which filesystems, but I am pretty sure that EXT3 or 4 and vFAT or FAT32 are used.

I have noticed with every ROM that immediately after flashing and installing apps, it runs smooth and fast but after 3 days the application drawer , Sense Roise and menu scrolls start becoming laggy..
[HTC Sensation] casht0wn:
I used IC for a few weeks and it is a very well done sense ROM, and zippy too. But I found its performance was not as nice when I set it up for battery life. With the sense bloat it was almost necessary to OC which ravaged my poor power source and made my phone very warm after a short period of heavy use such as a 3D game. I am currently running CM7 alpha10 with similar battery life to what you are getting, but I find the whole rest of the experience is improved. The phone stays cool, is lightning quick, and the ROM is only 90MB! I usually have around 275-300MB of free ram. And even though some say it is fact that the camera won't record in 1080p properly, I have no issues! I can record as long as I like in full HD. I highly recommend the AOSP world of Cyanogenmod!

However, I want to have a flashable stock kernel for a backup, but I can't find it anywhere

well at least I've already tried googling and thread searching here using keyword "stock kernel"...I don't know the actual code version.

Will someone please help me find stock kernel and post a link in here?

Even better if we have stock kernel files for Froyo and GB, I'd like to see those.
