[Motorola Droid 3] raiden:
Thank you guys so much. I had bought an unlock code for my Verizon Droid 3 (XT862) thinking I could use it anywhere. It worked great in the US and Canada but when I went to Europe, I couldn't get ANY signal at all. It kept saying no service even when trying to use an Orange SIM Card. After flashing the XT883 firmware, I now get signal.
[Motorola Droid 3] koukobin:
Please upload the build.prop

Hello,

can you please upload the build.prop you integrated in the fastboot file?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 3] raiden:
Is their a newer Chinese Baseband (Radio) image then n_16.18.16s that is unlocked?
[Motorola Droid 3] RWALEY:
Yes there is. n_37.18.16s

I flashed it by using the XT883 SBF and OTAs in this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1249720

Then flashed back to the XT862 SBF while ignoring the radio.img

I have not noticed any difference so far.
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
How did you download it? I tried the links, but am unable to read what is on the page. I gathered that I needed to register to download. Do you know of another mirror?
[Motorola Droid 3] RWALEY:
Some of them were down.

I uploaded the needed files to a new mirror. It is on page 21 of that thread.
[Motorola Droid 3] raiden:
I downloaded the file and see the 2 zip files. Is it possible just to get the latest radio flash (n_37.18.16s) and just flash only that? All I see is the old radio.img in the 57.1.60.zip file.
[Motorola Droid 3] RWALEY:
Not from what I have determined.

Unless someone else has figured out an easier way, you need to install the 60.3.250 OTA to get the updated baseband.
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
If the latest is in your phone, can you pull the radio.img from the phone?
[Motorola Droid 3] seventieslord:
my understanding of the D2G that I purchased unlocked was that I could use it up here in Canada, and overseas, but might run into problems in the states because of some kind of OTA restriction put in place by Verizon.

Does this mean this is not the case for this phone?

The only reason I'd need to do this is so that I don't suddenly end up with a small wifi tablet the next time I travel to the USA. Is that what this would do for me? Or am I overthinking this?
[Motorola Droid 3] RWALEY:
I am still uncertain if this is even possible.

From what I have gathered it does not appear to be.

Both the Droid 2 Global and Droid 3 are GSM locked in the United States.

The Droid 3 can run this XT883 radio to enable full functionality.

There may even be more functionality locked by Verizon than originally thought. Several people have reported difficulties connecting over GSM outside of the United States. Flashing the XT883 radio seemed to fix it.
[Motorola Droid 3] seventieslord:
it says that I need to be on the stock rom to flash this radio. I no longer am, since just today I flashed ICS/CM9. But I'm having the exact same problems with this one as I did with GB/CM9 on the D2G (no GSM data, because APNs won't save)

since it looks like this radio would work for me, I would like to try flashing it. But I'd have to go back to stock to do it. Is there any chance this radio would survive a reflashing of ICS/CM9? Or are they going to replace it with the radio I have now, that isn't working?
[Motorola Droid 3] RWALEY:
I have flashed the radio on custom ROMs without issue. However, I never tried it with ICS.

You may run into issues with the build.prop working properly with that ROM.
[Motorola Droid 3] RWALEY:
I have been receiving plenty of PMs for clarification on how to get the newer XT883 baseband so I figured I would just post a guide for all to use.

Doubt it is deserving of a new topic so I will just place it here.

-----------

TAKE EXTREME CAUTION. THINGS CAN GO WRONG SO DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH UNBRICKING YOUR PHONE.

As of 4/4/2012 this will NOT work if you have upgraded to Verizon .906

Before starting make sure you download the following files and your battery is fully charged.

XT883 SBF, 60.3.250 OTA, RSDlite, and motofail root

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/71053731/XT883 Files.zip

XT862 Verizon SBF Without Radio

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/71053731/NO_RADIO_VRZ_XT862_5.5.1_84_D3G-55_1FF_01.zip

GSM Build.prop fix

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/71053731/XT862 GSM Fix.zip

In addition, place the XT883 60.3.250.zip and GSM Fix.zip on the sd card.

It would also be a good idea to keep the .apk of your bootstrap/safestrap recovery on the sd card as well.

1.	Open RSD Lite and locate the XT883 SBF. Choose to Extract

2.	Turn off phone.

3.	Power up phone while holding power and M

4.	Scroll down to Recovery and select using Volume Up

5.	Scroll down to Wipe data/factory reset

6.	Press the power button to select and confirm

7.	When wipe is complete go back to selection menu by holding M and Power again

8.	Scroll down to AP Fastboot and use volume up to select

9.	Connect USB cable to phone. Screen should display "OK to Program"

10.	Start flash on RSD Lite. The phone will reboot when complete.

11.	After reboot the phone will be in chinese, reboot once again for english to load.

Note: If English does not load try dialing *#*#2468#*#*

12.	Root the phone using motofail

13.	Power off and Reboot to recovery (Power + M) and install the XT883 OTA.zip file

14.	Reboot the phone back to the android launcher and then power off completely.

15.	Open RSD Lite and locate the NO RADIO XT862 SBF. Choose to Extract

16.	Power up phone while holding power and M

17.	Scroll down to Recovery and select using Volume Up

18.	Scroll down to Wipe data/factory reset

19.	Press the power button to select and confirm

20.	When wipe is complete go back to selection menu by holding M and Power again

21.	Scroll down to AP Fastboot and use volume up to select

22.	Connect USB cable to phone. Screen should display "OK to Program"

23.	Start flash on RSD Lite. The phone will reboot when complete.

24.	Root the phone and install the bootstrap/safestrap of your choice.

25.	Reboot to recovery and install the GSM Fix.zip file

26.	Reboot the phone twice and you will now be running the newest XT883 baseband.

27.	Process is complete. You can now flash other ROMs, etc...

Note: any new ROM installed may require you to install the GSM Fix.zip file again

This build.prop is only for Gingerbread based ROMs.

For ICS usage, try this thread:

[Motorola Droid 3] seventieslord:
Awesome job on the directions. With something as intense as this, it is nice to see something that leaves no room for accidentally veering off the path.

If I do a nandroid backup (I am on ics/cm9), then follow all your directions, then restore my backup, am I going to have any problems? Ideally I would like to have this fix only because I want the phone to work if I travel to the states, but it's not worth it if there is too much risk of messing up what I have going right now.
[Motorola Droid 3] RWALEY:
I do not see any issue with doing that. Just remember that flashing any new rom will still require the build.prop to be updated.

If you just care about using the phone in the US, the easiest thing to do is just flash the radio in the first post instead of going through this entire routine to get the latest baseband. I have not noticed much of any difference between the two. These instructions are just for the people who want to try out the latest revision.
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
I cannot get this thing to flash, at all. All drivers are installed, RSDLite 5.6. Phone has been wiped, and is in AP Fastboot. I have tried several versions of the SBF, no luck. However, I can use PSouza's VZW .890 fastboot flash, and it goes right on.

Interestingly, if the phone is booted up, RSDLite displays all of the info on the phone. Once into Fastboot, all of the fields are N/A. Is this right? Anyway, screen shot attached.
[Motorola Droid 3] RWALEY:
Very strange. Can you copy the entire status message?

Mine shows N/A on all the fields in fastboot too but it flashes no problem.

Try putting the SBF .zip right on your C:/ root directory. Maybe the path is too long? I seem to remember that being an issue on older versions of RSDLite.
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
The full message is there in the screen shot, I resized the fields to show it all. I will try like you said, and move everything off the root. Will give it a go this evening. I appreciate all your help!
[Motorola Droid 3] illek46:
I guess I am an "idiot" too!! Care to elaborate on what you did to get past the "Waiting on device". Thanks.

EDIT: I'm an idiot.... I figured it out too!! READ THE WHOLE THREAD is the sloution.
[Motorola Droid 3] illek46:
Thanks to the OP for a very useful Mod. However, I'd like to go back to using Verizon but when I change the network to CDMA, I get no signal. Is that normal after flashing the new radio? How do I get back to being able to use Verizon again. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
I moved the XT883 files to a directory right off the root, and I get the same message. Are you using RSDLite 5.5 or 5.6? Is there some setting in there that I need different? Could a non-stock (D3CWM) recovery be affecting this? It does it even though I uninstall it. Also, when I bring up RSDLite in ADB mode, it identifies the phone as an XT862, even though everything in build.prop shows XT883. Could that be the issue? I was thinking it would not flash because it sees it as a XT862, not a XT883.
[Motorola Droid 3] RWALEY:
You will need to SBF back to stock. This radio is just for GSM purposes.

I am using 5.6. It would not even recognize factors like CWM or the build.prop. It should flash the partitions with the .img and .bin files without discrimination. The phone will be recognized as XT862 hardware no matter what but it does not mean anything for this process. There is no setup needed for RSDLite, just open and flash is all I have ever needed to do.

Can you try using RSDLite to flash any other SBF packages? Try the No Radio .890 I uploaded or a stock 5.5.959 even. If RSDLite can not flash those SBFs then there may be some underlying issue with either the phone or the computer you are flashing from. Perhaps you have a different computer you can try as well?

Another thing people have mentioned is do not attempt to RSDLite flash using USB 3.0 ports, stick with 2.0 or older.
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
I'll try an older/different computer tonight.
[Motorola Droid 3] rquinn19:
Any news on getting this to work on any ICS roms? Could never get data working.

ChocolateShein made a flashable GSM Fix.zip for ICS
[Motorola Droid 3] nemiroG1:
OK, worked on this a bit more tonight. Think I may have found the root of some of my issue. Take a look at the 'one click OTA recovery' screen shot, and you see that there are issues surrounding recovery and boot. Also, I tried RSDLite on the regular SBF, and it failed at step 6/18, right when it was trying to write cdt.bin. Any ideas?

BTW, I am recovered, and working again, but I think this issue is why I cannot flash the XT883 rom, nor CM9.

p.s.- could any of this be related to flashing .906? Like, I can't go backwards?
[Motorola Droid 3] RWALEY:
Oh... well there is your answer. Flashing .906 is going to lock you.

No way to fully return, that is why those partitions are failing flash.

The one click recovery is able to flash the other areas but you are still running the .906 kernel and bootloader. We have no way to get around that and probably never will unless Moto unlocks the bootloader.

Flashing the XT883 ROM is going to be impossible for you at this time.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Reeonimus:
I've seen these topics before but mine is a slightly different case. Here are the particulars:

It shut itself down when using the Gmail app.

It was at ~84% battery

Tried holding the power button for 10 or 20 or 30 seconds to reboot with no result.

I tried plugging it in to PC to see if storage still mounts but it does not.

I was able to get it into APX mode by holding power and vol down (or up, I can't remember) as it showed on the windows PC that it tried to install APX drivers but failed.

After holding power again it came out of APX mode but nothing displays on the screen.

I don't think its just a busted display panel because if it did reboot I'd see the storage mount.

It had a custom ROM on it and it is SBK2.

What do you folks think? Bricked?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] txtmikhail:
if u have a ROM on it than try to get it into recovery.. Hold Vol down+ power button till screen come on

[Eee Pad Transformer General] Reeonimus:
Thanks for the tips guys. I left it off the charger overnight and the battery died so when I went to power it on today I got the dead battery on the screen. Plugged it in and it booted fine! Phew.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Reeonimus:
For anyone who may encounter this in the future I'll post this here so searching may help them.

The Transformer shut itself off twice on me with the same issue. I had full (or close to) battery and it shut off and would not turn on.

I believe it was still "on" in some way as after leaving it overnight and trying to power it on in the morning The depleted battery icon popped up on the screen. I plugged it in and it booted.

The second time it died on me I was using skype (first time using gmail) and I had to again wait for it to run out of battery before anything would display on the screen.

I have since restored back to stock (no root or CWM :( ) and am waiting to see if it happens again. If it does I'll update the post.

if i update the music player, im honestly not sure its due to the update, but the music player starts to not play the music and say "can't play the track requested"

I am also suspecting this to be the "fix permission"

I encountered what seems to be a strange bug. Today, I 'went the globatron way', and upgraded from stock BB Flyer on GB to the HC here. I installed LauncherPro, and also Home Stack (to help the switching).

Launcher Pro seems to work fine...except the background (wallpaper) goes to all black as soon as the device is flipped from portrait to landscape. The wallpaper stays black from then on. If I begin in landscape mode, switch from Sense to LauncherPro, then turn the tablet into portrait mode, then it again switches to a black wallpaper.

Anybody have any clue what the problem is? Is it a problem with HC or with LauncherPro?
