I'm a bit confused. In this topic, it is said that the method can UNLOCK the phone. I want to know if it unlocks capability of using ATT bands or completely unlocks the phone removing the ENTER UNLOCK CODE process?????

I have an droid 2 global that is now flashed like what is suggested here. But the phone still asks me to enter an Unlock Code. The phone has a BAD ESN and unlock codes from unlock4moto didn't work on it. I am in IRAN and want use the phone on GSM 900/1800 network with EDGE only. So, any way to make TBH make its changes on 900/1800 bands?????
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
TBH band unlock is for SIM-unlocked phones. Not for those that are locked.

I have a motorola droid 2 global that is running gingerbread 2.3.3. Do I need this in order to use a tmobile or att sim card?

Yes, definitely.

[Droid 2 Global General] projektorboy:
Unlocking the Droid 2 Global for Tmo/AT&T requires the following:

(1) You have to SBF down to System Version 2.4.330 or 2.4.229 (which are Froyo 2.2 based) as those system versions contain radios that accept the TBH Band Unlock Hack

(2) You must obtain a SIM unlock code for your device from Verizon (or another 3rd party vendor)

(3) You must root, install Bootstrap Recovery, and then while in recovery, install the TeamBlackhat ZIP file that hacks the radio.

HOWEVER...I took a weird path in this, and was still successful.

When I first got my D2G I SBF'd it to the Gingerbread .608 system, and then set everything up the way I wanted it to. (rooted, installed apps, configured accounts, etc). I then made a Nandroid backup in Recovery.

I then SBF'd down to 2.4.330. I applied the TBH Radio Hack and then did the SIM unlock code. I now had a happy system running 2.2 and functioning on AT&T's network!

But of course, I needed to get back to Gingerbread. An additional hack was made (that can be found on Rootzwiki) to put yourself onto the newest D2G stock firmware without touching the radio and ruining the Tmo/AT&T Hack.

So I went back to recovery, restored my Nandroid of .608, and then flashed the .608 kernel. I now have my .608 system completely intact and still riding on AT&T.

It's hard, it's a bit complicated, but once you get your version numbers straight you can flash at will.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Basically, if you have a nandroid backup of a 4.5.608 system, you can perform all the usual steps required to obtain a device running 4.5.608 w/band unlock, verify that it's working fine, and then just go back to CWM and choose advanced restore → restore /data only.

Well I have tried both, but N_01.48.05R does not seem to be any better for me, in fact I seem to have gps issues when I am in gsm mode using N_01.48.05R. Now with N_01.48.00R the gps works perfect in gsm mode, I sometimes will lose gsm signal completely or just gsm data connection. for some weird reason I lose signal more often walking, maybe it is the vibration?

Anyone know if the baseband/radio from 2.4.330.. (N_01.48.05R) is any "better" than the one in 2.4.29.. (N_01.48.00R).

And just to confirm, band unlock hack does work on .330's radio as well?

[Droid 2 Global General] projektorboy:
I can confirm that the band unlock works on the .330 radio (N_01.48.05R) as I have successfully used that radio on AT&T as well as TMobile.

I have done band unlock should i still need network unlock code to use another carrier sim card btw i am not in us and dont have verizon sim card.

[Droid 2 Global General] lexxu1:
Thanks so much!

I've got everything to work, and calls and texts work on the miui rom; however, data is really faulty and intermittent. What settings do I have to change? I heard there was a build.prop thing I could alter, but I can't find it. It would be really appreciated! Thanks.
[Droid 2 Global General] leobg:
2.4.29 and 2.4.330 radios have been unstable on UMTS (3G), but quite stable on 2G (GSM). 4.5.608 did really solve all issues with GSM/UMTS connections but sadly for US users aren't unlockable for TMo or ATT.

Tmo users won't really suffer as GSM is fine even on the oldest radio. AT&T not so much unless used on GSM/EDGE only.

The hack with build.prop is to set VerizonGlobalPhone to 0 so phone displays proper readings for 3G signal, buy it really doesn't make stability of any of the radios any better. Just number of bars in signal indicator display properly.
[Droid 2 Global General] lexxu1:
So do you think the following radio will eventually be unlockable? Or will it always be like this? I guess I don't mind 2g if I can successfuly get a dumbphone plan on it.
[Droid 2 Global General] seijidinzuala:
what does this method actually do??? Unlocking the verizon d2g so as to use other carriers like T-mobile,AT&T etc. isn't?? i know that this does not help in sim unlocking,but can there be a possible way or hope to unlock the locked d2g with a method related to this.
[Droid 2 Global General] bhigham:
Quick reply to a couple of your questions.

At this point you are done using RSDlite, unless for some reason you need to sbf again. If you are able to use the phone on tmobile currently, all the radio unlock process is done. From page 1 of this forum then, all that is left for you to do is to

Put D2G-608-Kernel.zip in SD card (root directory)

Unzip D2G-608-nandroid.zip, put the folder "2011-10-26.14.34.37" in your SD card: /clockworkmod/backup (the folder should be named either "2011-10-26.14.34.37" or gingerbread rooted, depending on which version you got. In that folder you should have several .img files. If they are in another subdirectory inside that folder, they are too deep. The unzip process should be done on your computer before copying to the sd card.

Now from page 1 again, you have part of the steps left to do, and they are all done from the clockworkmod recovery screen (except starting bootstrap recovery of course).

4. Go to Bootstrap recovery, (you already have band unlocked, so don't need to flash the band unlock)

5. Flash D2G-608-Kernel.zip, after that, do not reboot!!! (this is done with the install zip option)

6. Restore D2G-608-nandroid. (thru the backup and restore, restore option)

7. Wipe data/cache/dalvik. (wipe data and wipe cache are on the first screen, wipe dalvic cache is under the advanced menu)

8. Reboot, all done.

Hope this helps clear things up.

Per Boster27, this does help with enabling data when using a sim-interposer. at

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1660713 he mentions, and I quote: "I am one of the (un)lucky owners of a non-unlockable D2G. I was able to use it to make calls with a SIM interposer (i-smartsim), but wasn't able to get data working on the 850Mhz band (900Mhz worked fine on EDGE, with another carrier). After following this how-to, now I get full speed 3G (H+) on my "locked" D2G using i-smartsim!

I know that I shouldn't use data with the interposer, that it will probably burn out, but I just feel better knowing that I can use data now if I need to"

I don't know what carrier he is on, and don't know if this would work with US carriers, but is something that could be tried if one was desperate.
[Droid 2 Global General] jabberwockish:
That's because, as he stated, his carrier uses the 850 MHz band for 3G data. That's a band used by AT&T Mobility, and one of the bands unlocked by the TBH band-unlock hack.

For carriers using GSM bands other than those used by AT&T Mobility and T-mobile USA (i.e., for most carriers outside the U.S.), the band unlock hack will have no effect.
[Droid 2 Global General] bhigham:
That is true. However, I have seen a lot of erroneous information stating that a sim-unlocked D2G will not work on the 850 Mhz bands. I know this to be false, as I am using a sim unlocked D2G on 850 Mhz bands, just not in the US. It is on the US bands, just not on the US Carriers.

I discovered the way to do the USA band unlock on 629 and posted it on Rootzwiki, but am not using it myself, since it does me no good in South America. And with or without the band unlock, my sim unlocked phone works perfectly on 850Mhz networks.

All this to say that if the band unlock does something to remove some firewall preventing data connection, it might also work on other bands. It is typically true that the Band Unlock only is of any use for the US bands, but it would actually be more accurate to say that it is only of use for US carriers, since sim unlock already allows them to be used on US bands. (So this so called Band unlock is not a Band unlock at all, but a carrier unlock.)

However, without a Sim unlock, the phone is still locked to a Verizon sim. So, in general terms Band unlock (in actuality US Carrier unlock, the bands aren't what is locked), is of no use to anyone outside of the US. But, from what Boster27 reported, it did actually have an effect on a non-US carrier that was otherwise blocked.

So, I am not saying it will work, but wonder what the basis for dismissing the idea out of hand is.

Also, per the same post referenced, the 900 Mhz band was able to receive data with just the sim interposer, so that means that doing the band unlock might allow the phone to work in all South and Central America on the 850 Mhz band (maybe Europe and Asia don't use 850, almost all of the South American carriers do), and it already works on Edge on European networks with a sim interposer. I don't know if anyone else will get the same results as Boster27 did, I just threw it out as a possibility for those who have run out of other possibilities.
[Droid 2 Global General] theadamtron:
Hey guys, thanks for this.

I'm thinking of purchasing one of the Verizon DROID 2 R2D2 phones.

This should work with one of these phones yes?

I'm planning on using it on the OPTUS network in australia which uses 900/1900mhz bands.

Cheers! :)
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Well, as long as you replace R2D2's CDMA-only transceiver with a GSM-capable one…
[Droid 2 Global General] theadamtron:
could anyone say if this would work with the R2-D2 Droid 2 :)

appreciated.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Yeah, it would; you need to do the following:

1. Head over to Motorola Mobility.

2. Tell them to make you a custom R2D2 DROID2 with a GSM transceiver.

3. Get that custom made phone from them.

4. ???

5. PROFIT!
[Droid 2 Global General] silver6054:
Well, that's probably the easier way, but recall his goal:

I'm planning on using it on the OPTUS network in australia which uses 900/1900mhz bands

So another approach is to get OPTUS to switch to CDMA on the 800/1900 bands, and then the R2D2 would work without any need for the multiple SBFs etc. Well, I guess there might still be work with CMDA tools to flash to a different carrier, so the solution would be for Verizon to take over OPTUS and run exactly the same kind of CDMA network there as they do in the states.

Ice Cream ROM worked flawlessly after first flash. No bugs whatsoever.

My wife and I traded in our Epic's for an Evo3D and a MoPho. I have rooted both phones and already flashed several different Roms on my 3vO. I came here today to flash a few custom Rom's on hers to see if she likes any and found that there are hardly any to try. In fact, development for the MoPho in general seems to be non-existent. Whats the deal? Is it not dev-friendly? There are literally tons of custom rom options for both the Epic 4G and the Evo3D.

It wasnt pushed as hard as the gII on sprint. This phone is awesome although its very hard to decrypt. I hope development picks up on this bad boy. If your looking for a good rom go download jokers skinny it will make your phone soar. Then have some fun and flash his 1.4 kernel and youll see why people are very content with the phone in its current state. Hell im very pleased with this phone
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
Threw this together in GIMP. IMHO, this is the type of campaign approach they should have had for the MoPho (hell, all webtop phones). If webtop had been more functional from the start it would have gone even further. Instead it was more of "we are motorola and we make phones too and they do stuff". No real push at all from Moto or Sprint. Because of the lack of interest in pushing it everybody went GSII or iPhone.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Terror_1:
I see that in the Dev section there are several Roms that appear to use a radio greater than ED05.

What are the current radios for stock and leaked?

Thanks

A partial answer is that EH09 and EI20 are system leaks radios.

So, in short I will be sticking with ED05 for the time being until I sort it out and find any information on stability.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laureanop:
Best radios, according to the majority of users are ec 09 and ed 05

tsm res1.2, TKSGB 11-06, lag fix
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstyndall:
EDO5 is what I am currently using and have noticed better battery performance. I haven't seen anything of the ones you have mentioned. The EDO5 is the latest official release. I would stick with that. New radios or basebands that are leaked could possibly not be finished or cause horrible battery times. I would stick with what you have. Just my two cents. If anyone has tested one of these newer releases then post it here. I am open to using new radios if it makes battery life better than the ED05 baseband.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedoman:
The roms based on eh09 and ei20 are from other galaxy s phones other than fascinate (mesmerize if not mistaken) which our awesome devs have ported for our phones. The radios cant be used on the fascinate so stick with one of the tried and true fascinate radios.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstyndall:
Will the capitvate radios work?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedoman:

between eh03, ec09, and ed05... ec09 gives me the best results >eh03>ed05. I have seen quite few people reporting they get the best speeds with eh03 but im not seeing it. I suggest trying all three and determine what works best for your area.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstyndall:
I think I will test ec09 and just see what I get. I'm not that impressed with ed05. I feel like I got better performance from eb01.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstyndall:
Not that anyone cares but I have been testing ec09 radio all afternoon and I get substantially better download and upload speeds than I did with ed05. Thanks for the advice guys.

I flashed uckk1 through heimdall and I noticed that on the download mode screen my custom rom count was (1). Obviously I don't flash much but I wondered if this was detecting my previous heimdall flash or when I flashed a modem through cwm? Is there a way to reset it? Is there a known limit of flashes or something before it stops allowing flashes? I searched.....but apparently not for the right words.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
it doesnt detect the rom if it is for an infuse. not sure about i9000 roms. but it does detect the cutom kernels. if you flash the kernel in the leak you can flash a modified version of the rom (though none really exist, i only know this by personal experimentation with the leaks) and the count doesnt go up. i dont know if it detects all cwm flashes but it "should" atleast detect the kernel being custom if you enter download mode after a cwm flash.

it doesnt detect all download mode flashes blindly is what im trying to say. it does acknowledge the leaks as official firmware.
