[Motorola Droid RAZR] radiohead7778580:
I just don't know why is not working it sees the sim card just doesn't want to connect.. I tried to different sims... What else could be?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bookmonke:
Same boat here, everything seems to work, I see the ATT APN's but have a red circle with line thru it over the data signal bars. Even sees my phone number in settings just no network.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Fltmobileuser:
Now if this only worked with a dual sim adapter :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
could be fun haha
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lrrc29:
i have been testing and my conclusion is we need to find the way to a flash gsm radio or something like that. our phones are recognizing the gsm sim but i think we need a baseband. is just my opinion

we have the same hardware we have the unlock. it has to be software related.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Beach_Head:
I thought the hack worked for you?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] radiohead7778580:
i gonna try to flash different firmware . to see if that makes a difference I'm on 181 right now
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tk76:
In the same boat- heading to London for q month with 2 US RAZRs. Would love to be able to use them.

If this does eventually work will I have any decent data options? Even if not I'm more than happy to use wifi. in fact I was planning on relying on WiFi and Fring while in London.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lrrc29:
im the first to get the sim card recognized and apn settings but my sim cards were desactivated. Today i got an activated sim card and im in the same boat
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blisslove:
I have read through every pages but I still don't get it about which phone. :D

Are you guys talking about Motorola Razr Maxx or xt910 GSM? :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bookmonke:
I'm working on a xt912 Verizon RAZR, I thought the xt910 was gsm ready to go
[Motorola Droid RAZR] blisslove:
Yes, xt910 is GSM phone.

I thought that I can flash CDMA rom and hack CDMA radio to GSM radio on Motorola Razr xt910. :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joesee:
I've got an extra MAXX that has no service on it. I just followed the steps exactly as you did and I too have the same symptoms.. No service with the T-mo SIM, but under Mobile Networks / APNs I see T-Mobile US.. so I at least know that it's reading the SIM. I've tried everything.

I wish there was something else to try. I'm running the stock .173 out-of-the-box rom.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] furcioelbraveado:
I've read the entire threads for the Bionic and this one. It seems like we (razr owners) are missing something very small. The Bionic owners are still working to perfect the unlock. They even relased a .zip package that seems to be working, has anyone tried that package on the Razr?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joesee:
I have not.. the guy from TBH said something in that zip needed to be changed before it would work in the RAZR's.

I also wanted to let everyone know I went out and purchased/activated an AT&T go phone and cut the SIM down to micro size after placing test calls and testing data on the $10 walmart phone and I get the same results after 20 minutes of sitting and waiting. No Service with no bars but the APN info shows up related to ATT..

I wish I could do something to help because I leave for overseas in 2 days and have this spare MAXX to use as a guinea pig!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
it sounds like something simple for people who know their stuff. Since the Bionic and Razr not much different can some nice devs contribute to this thread?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] munchy_cool:
did someone out here try flashing a gsm radio on the cdma razr? just an idea...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] radiohead7778580:
I don't think that would be a great idea.. Unless you want a cool paper weight
[Motorola Droid RAZR] munchy_cool:
oops ..okies ..but why?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bookmonke:
I mistakenly flash gummy for gsm got a nothing from that but phone model number showed as xt910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] munchy_cool:
i believe most of the roms out there do not have a radio in them.....maybe kholk can do some research on this cdma gsm thing ...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] trekie4ever:
Yah locked bootloeader pretty much means we only have access to /system which is what all RAZR rims edit. This is just from my own understanding. Gummy and custom rims for the RAZR don't touch the radio/GPS/webtop because they don't have the source or drivers.

But if this works for my xt912 I'd be so happy. I don't really understand the process explained yet
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bookmonke:
Just upgraded to .181 and for some reason the *#*#4636#*#* no longer works, anybody know the new code for did I screw up. So I don't see my att sim still says verizon.

did any1 get this hack working (voice and data) on the razr because i am planning to buy one but i am on att and the gsm version is damn expensive...

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bestrafer:
it seems there should be changes made to build.prop to switch phone into global mode. i.e.

there might be more changes..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] munchy_cool:
^^ i beleive all those changes are there in the build.prop in RAZR_AOKP_CM9_GSM_RIL_PATCH.zip
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fade79:
Does installing that patch get the GSM up and running? I did the RadioComm edit but I didn't install the patch and I haven't been successful in getting it to work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] munchy_cool:
I dont have a rzr bro , but I have been reading about this hack ..I am planning to get a razr once this hack works, but i think you should try the hack,

if you read first post on this thread

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1623640

it does say the patch used by razr users and it's the same patch am refering to , maybe you can try but please do so at your own risk.

EDIT

I believe you can revert the hack by flashing a stock rom and a factory reset from recovery.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bookmonke:
Anybody make any head way on this, I'm still stuck with figuring out the new service menu and don't see anyplace to change to WCDMA preferred
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fade79:
Download the app Phone Info from the Marketplace. It allows you to switch between GSM, CDMA, and WCDMA. But that said even using that I haven't been able to get my T-mobile SIM running.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pvillasuso:
Hi I did , but just Voice [ gsm 1800 band ] , wish someone can tell how to enable data

APN is there , editable , and ON .. but wont show the 3G or H+ icon

It won't conect to 3G [ 850 band in my case ]

ps. I'm able to place and receive GSM calls , also SMS ..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
Can you tell us how did you do it?

Thank you

Sorry typo. I was typing on my phone and did not have time to double check before submitting it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pvillasuso:
What ????
[Motorola Droid RAZR] munchy_cool:
how did you do it , as in the steps and the carrier you used, att or tmo.

assuming it's att as you are on 850 3g, also can you please post a pic for us.

we will be so happy :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pvillasuso:
Actually its pretty easy , no need of Radio Comm

I have a Moto CDMA XT912

Steps :

[optional] Flash this : ICS ROM > http://bit.ly/JW8j8w

[optional] Flash this : GAPPS > http://bit.ly/JW7vAG

Flash this : GSM PATCH > http://bit.ly/JW7Hjd

FLash this : "MAGIC code" lol > http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1048524&d=1336485537

Reboot , and done ! , you'll have GSM enabled [ all bands ]
[Motorola Droid RAZR] munchy_cool:
Which sim did you try ..att or tmo ? Thanks for the steps bro ....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] pvillasuso:
None of them . its a Costa Rican SIM [ ICE ] 1800 GSM , and 850 3G

Its the same as ATT
[Motorola Droid RAZR] munchy_cool:
Thanks again dude
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stefan.buddle:
I've tried this three time coming from stock Gingerbread and it has yet to work at all, I can't pick up any signal, you didnt do anything else besides what you wrote?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lrrc29:
after flash the patch and the magic code i lost my wifi my 4g radio and lte cdma menu. any ideas?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
close yet so far
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fade79:
After you put back your Verizon SIM use Phone Info to switch the radio back to CDMA. It will bring back the CDMA/LTE menu in your settings. If you already tried this and you still don't have the CDMA/LTE menu then I'm not sure what's wrong.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kaptix:
I have tried this exact process 3 times but after flashing everything I still get no signal no matter how long I wait it detects my simcard number and phone number just never picks up signal even when i go to the options and change it to WCDMA prefered or GSM Only. Is there anything im missing?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
Just about every Moto Verizon phone can be unlocked for GSM. I flashed a Droid 3 to AT&T for my little brother. He gets 3G. I've read that other phones are capable - D2G, Droid Pro, and even an HTC Rezound. Any global phone has capabilities.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joesee:
Not sure if that's completely true or not because the version of ICS I have running on my other MAXX right now has a different version of webtop. I can confirm this when I get back home, but fairly certain the radio versions are different as well.

---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

I found that if your SIM isn't making contact correctly that it won't show up and let you switch from WCDMA Preferred. In fact I don't even think the menu will come up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] JayXL14:
Hey guys been looking through these threads but been having a little trouble finding stuff.. just some quick questions

I'm trying to possibly get a Droid Bionic for my dad to use on AT&T.. He doesn't need Data, but just as a quick question, is it working yet? And Edge voice would work perfectly right?

And can it all be done through software? Or do I need the unlock code from Verizon like for the Droid 2 Global baseband hack?

Thanks guys
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fade79:
You might have better luck asking this in the Bionic forum. But supposedly they have been able to get it to work just with the RadioComm edit and software patches.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] tehgyb:
Find the carrier unlock code, unlock your device. put in your At&t Sim card, type *#*#4636#*#* in your dialer. This will launch some hidden menus - change radio mode to gsm. Enjoy.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] theZest:
Hm, are you sure that it will work? Guys who tried similar switch (hit CDMA) on GSM RAZR XT910 could hardly make their devices "see" GSM network.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tehgyb:
May or may not, tbh I've never tried, I do know the device can activated with global features meaning in it can access vodafones gsm network outside the us, changing the radio setting may work.

The gsm versions have wcdma (think TMobile/AWS band) settings but were never designed to operate on true cdma...

Worst case scenario, it doesn't work, switch it back to cdma and you're back at square 1 lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] 007bond:
Hey guys. Just got my hands on the RAZR. I'm getting error 6 when trying to install "MAGIC code". Any tips?

EDIT: Also, has anyone gotten the unlock to FULLY work yet? I just got the MAGIC code to install and now it sees that i'm on AT&T and I can change APN settings but that's about it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
TBH Band Config Unlock zip Install for Razr

It's not "Magic code".

It is just a zip installation of the NVM edit using the updater-binary from an official OTA update.zip to write the 8 byte string for the band config to NV Item 1877.

The NVM is updated every time you get an OTA in order to increment the version numbers and dates. We just used the binary for our own needs.

So far, we have not had complete success with this on the D4 or Razr on stock hardware with T Mobile or ATT in the US. There appears to be a different form of lock in effect for domestic GSM carriers, because there are many reports of it working with international carriers, at least on D4.

There is a Chinese engineering ICS build that P3droid has running on his eng Razr and everything works out of the box with that radio image. It cannot be loaded on stock hardware unfortunately.

We dumped the entire NVM from it and I have been going through it to find a potential solution. There are many differences in the NVM and it will take some time to work through them to determine their impact.

Edit: I have included the Razr version of the TBH band config zip files for those interested in testing this.

These files MUST be run from Razr bootstrap recovery and NOT Safestrap.

The unlock zip writes the GSM band config string and the relock zip writes the stock string to revert if you need to for any reason.

They do no other modifications to the device and any build.prop edits or additional apns-conf.xml or system libs must be done manually if desired.

Please post back with any information regarding success or failure using these files, thanks!

The files did not upload from my dropbox properly, sorry. I will have to reattach them from PC later.

Edit 2: I reuploaded the files. These have been tested on mine and P3droid's Razrs and should work fine.

As people quickly discovered, the D4 files work on the Razr too, so you can use either. The binaries are compatible and the string is the same. The Chinese ICS build has a slightly altered string that you can also try in RadioComm if desired.

The first 2 bytes are different: 8001E80400000200
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bookmonke:
Do I have to be back to stock to do this razr unlock? Cause I have flashed the three files already but keep getting a bad file can't open message with this unlock.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
Would someone please create a new thread with files/instructions/etc? Or will the OP update with current info? I'm very interested and I believe others are too. It's difficult keeping track with what's current or new findings in this thread.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tk76:
I hope this gets sorted prior to my trip to London in 5 weeks. We have 2 RAZRs and it would be great yo be able to use them- even if I have to rely on WIFI for data. I was figuring I'd be stuck using Fring over WIFI, but this sounds more promising.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
I updated the OP but there is no confirmation of this steps working for sure. Please inform me if any steps work so I can update the OP.

thank you
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bookmonke:
Well I am still have no signal message, I started at stock rom 2.3.5, rooted added boot strap, then flashed the GSM patch and flashed cellzealot's code. My phone shows the phone number under the 4636 area, shows an ASU signal of around 8, which is what my other phone sees but never activates. I am trying this on AT&T and can only think that the IMEI number may have to be added to some database in the sky to make the final step, unless I am missing something simple. And on a side note my phone now shows as a XT910 in the settings area instead of XT912.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] munchy_cool:
There are a few other steps like changing it to look for wcdma etc.

also the phone showing as xt910 is a build.prop edit which you should not worry about.

try these

Yea, the wdcma was something I forgot to do in the write up because it had become second nature by now, I also click the menu button while on the phone part of 4636 and make sure it brings up USA bands, also under APN I do have three to choose from but none are selected by default.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
So can anyone who has done it successfully write down the detailed steps for noobs? I will post it in OP with your name on it so the credit for write up will go to you and the credit for writing codes will go to devs.

Hey I followed these steps and flashed the zip, The APN epic tmobile shows up but it says no service, any ideas on what to do?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
Edit: Wrong thread sorry.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Bogdan_F:
Yes, I use phone in Ukraine. (tested operators Kyivstar GSM 900/1800 and Life:) GSM 1800)

1. Flash official ROM like VRZ_XT912_6.5.1-73_DHD-11_M1-2_1FF_01.xml

2. Root phone

3. Install CWM - RazrBootstrap-v2.0.apk (make Bootstrap Recovery, than Reboot Recovery)

4. From CWM install RAZR_AOKP_CM9_GSM_RIL_PATCH.zip and TBH_Razr_GSM_Band_Config_Unlock_v1.0.zip

5. Reboot phone

After official ROM I try it on custom ROM like AXI0M_RAZR_B21_CMPLX_SIGNED.zip and other. All work fine.

Some times need select in *#*#4636#*#* GSM only and in phone setting - wireless&network - Mobile networks - Select network I select 2G only (My operator don't work in 3G and it save battery).

Sorry for bad English :)

P.S. after reboot wait about 30-50 sec. You'll see network after message like "This SIM card is from an unknown source"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spsp1997:
when i type *#*#4636#*#* in the phone app no menu shows up!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bookmonke:
Try the phone info app from the store, it works the same as 4636.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
I might flash it soon. Thank you
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spsp1997:
i tried flashing the gsm files and the other files but no luck.......i probably did something wrong...who knows maybe someelse can try it and see if it works....i used it with an old sim that is not activated so i dont know for sure. well good luck if anyone can get network if you guys do please post on the thread.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] josepha5:
Another failed attempt

I am leaving for Italy tomorrow so I also wanted to give this a try. However, I didn't have a non-verizon SIM card to play with so I basically wanted to see if I could get this to install without crippling my ability to connect to verizon. After following these steps closely on my XT912 and playing with phone info for quite a while, I couldn't get any signal with my verizon sim.

Like many others on here, I'd be really interested if someone can get this to work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] trekie4ever:
I am also travelling to Italy in about two weeks. Can you let me know if you figure anything out?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spsp1997:
i might try again tomorrow but this time with out the rom only the gsm patch and magic code and see if it works i did get some signal strenth like 8dbm when i patched it and put the att card in. only if someone had a xt910 willing to trade for free!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Beach_Head:
Trade for free or give away for free?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cntryman77:
I've tried this with & without the rom & get different problems...I won a Razr Maxx through a contest (for free) , but I'm an AT&T customer. When I tried this with the rom, I get it to recognize the sim card (micro from my iPhone) & network, but I have no signal. When I try this without the rom, I have signal, but no service. I'd really like to try this phone out & see if I like it better than my iPhone. If I can;t get it to work, I'll just post it up on ebay & make a few hundred bucks I guess. Either way, I win...lol
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Beach_Head:
If you do decide to sell it, please consider selling it to me so that I can try this alongside my GSM Razr. I have been trying to find a cheap Maxx on eBay to test this on but have come up empty at each attempt...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bookmonke:
Most people seem to be stuck at same place on phones in the US, seems overseas are working. I bought a XT912 just to play and see if I could get working on ATT but have no luck so far, always stuck at no service. Ended up getting a XT910 international and it works great on ATT, almost as fast as the Skyrocket I was using, I'm not in a LTE area so still running on HSPA.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
All the success stories that we are getting are coming from overseas. What's wrong with U.S carriers ???
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
There is another layer of locks preventing the use of US GSM carriers similar to the other VZW global Motorola's. This is done at the request of VZW to prevent exactly what we are trying to do.

This has always been their policy and we need to look further to find that lock mechanism and disable it, if possible.

That is what I have been doing by dumping the NVM and comparing to try and isolate any potential variables.
