Good luck! Anytime we have tried similar things in the past to transpose signatures it ended in failure and bricked devices.

We do have some MDM6600 build kits from older devices that include all the files needed to compile a radio image for the Droid2 Global in linux.

They do not include the proprietary software tool required nor the source code, but to give you some idea about them they are over 1.2GB each when unpacked and the radio image for D2G was 22MB.

We never attempted to either compile or recompile a radio though, and that is way over my level of expertise.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] igwtapc:
On my galaxy s3 phones they were unlocked nut was missing the apn list. On the razr it sees the apn but the radio is not allowed to connect since the mnc/mcc info is not programmed into the database. If we could add them to the list bet the phone would work. Long as the phone reads the sim and is not locked then the FCC will do nothing. Nowhere does it say the information for another carrier has to be listed in the phone. My guess is the radio is fine just need to tell it how to connect.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] priddyma:
So, we just need to try to add T-Mo's info in the carrier db with SQLite editor? What all needs to go in there? I have the day off work so I'm willing to try.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] priddyma:
Ok, I also hopped on SQLite on my Droid RAZR.

All the info is there for T-Mobile - but any of the settings in the DBs have the field "bearer" as "0" for anything that is not Verizon's info. Could this have something to do with it? Also: in the Phone storage db there is some info about GSM carriers. Seems to be a list of some Chinese GSM carriers. I added T-Mobile into this DB to see what will happen.

EDIT: After booting with my Tmo sim card and opening up the carriers DB again it is showing a "1" in the "current" field for Tmobiles settings in the db. So it knows it sohuld be connecting to that server/tower. For some reason though the GSM radio is "out of service"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] igwtapc:
The GSM radio can't be out of service if you can use non US sim cards in the phone. There is a step missing somewhere. Did your phone bootloop? My phone would boot loop then have to restore after just editing the database. It is stable but can't make calls updating the database and set the phone to GSM only in the hidden menu. Got one phone call done before my hiccup earlier. Trying to recreate what I done before but I think the last update was not in the phone. Now on my s3 it error out sometimes from backup assistant so I am looking at the full android system and need some time to do it after the holidays.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] priddyma:
Nope didn't bootloop. It just seemed as soon as I would hit "Turn radio on" in the hidden menu that it wouldn't even TRY to start the GSM radio even if it was selected.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] priddyma:
I just installed the leaked Jelly Bean build. It seems to have an updated radio. When I get home from my parents I am going to try my T Mo sim card and see if it works with this radio.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] priddyma:
Nope :( No hope yet.

Oh well....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Cks69:
Got US GSM Service for a minute or so, then got disconnected...

Well, here is something I would like to share with you guys, it happened to me about a we ago and could not believe my eyes, but I am sure about it, as the proof was on my monthly statement...well here it goes.....

I have a razr (xt912) an live south of the border, and use the phone on gsm with a non us carrier. Everything works great, as they are global ready, and when I travel to the US, (which is several times a week, as I live in a border town with the US) I get signal from my carrier to a certain part of the US if I am fairly close to the border, and since it will not connect to US carriers, I can definitely live with it, as I will not have to pay int's roaming fees.....

About 2 weeks ago, I drove further north, and all of a sudden I got a pop asking me that I was on int's roaming, and if I wanted to use data while on roaming, so I decided to put no, and end of story. A couple of days later, the same thing happened. and IT NEVER CROSSED MY MIND, that that pop up warning should have never took place, as the phone is made to NOT WORK with US carriers, thus not connecting to data either.

Well about 5 days ago, I was in the US, and got a phone call, and since I swore I had no US service, and on my original carrier, I answered the call.....it was about a 1:30 minute call, when I hung up, the int's data roaming pop up warning came up, and selected to NOT use int's data. I then immediately, dropped down the drop down menu to see the "carrier status" and to my surprise, it stated ATT/My carrier (And yes, when I have roamed in the pass, it will show both carriers, my original one in conjunction with the one I am currently roaming on).....I quickly did a operator search and ATT, Cingular, and 2 of the other carriers from my country where detected by the phone, went out of the menu, and checked to see If I was still connected to ATT, and still was. After about 30-45 seconds laters, all the bars went out and "no service" was displayed, and it would not connect again to a US carrier. Until I got close to the border and the signal from my carrier was picked up.

Take what you can and figure what could have triggered the connection.....

Maybe all US carriers have the actual IMEI blocked out on "their" end, and the towers simply refuse connection......??

Maybe I locked on to a US carrier and for a few seconds, the tower did not "notice" that it had to block the connection, and allowed connection before realizing the blacklisted IMEI.......???

Since then I have not traveled to the US, deeper north to see if this happens again.

I will post again if I travel to the US.

okay lost root with jelly bean update

got a possible fix but sending it to the people that have been helping me before for testing.

edited the database files and will send the file in emails to drdrew and rootedvette

OK, working on the phone API and see where it is required for cdma activation.

working a work around or patch
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
Thank you for keeping this movement a live. I no longer have RAZR, sold it to get NEXUS and now waiting for my DNA to arrive. If you have an update. PM me so I can update the OP and provide the credit where its due.

Thanks again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Cks69:
He there, I know I have not contributed much but, maybe I could be of help.....

If you read a couple of posts up, and read what I posted, you will see that I am in a border town with the US. The main use of my razr is with a NON US carrier, but being in a border town, I also get signal from US carriers. So I AM able to test the mod with US and NON US carriers at the same time.

On the other hand, I do not want to brick my phone........hehehe....

So if I am of any use here, I will gladly test and provide results.

If my position is of no use, well then, sorry for cutting in, hope your work goes as planned and get these phones running.

Cheers!!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] igwtapc:
Okay got some okay news. In order for my hack to work it must be in a ROM you flash to the phone. Right now still working on solution to fix com.android.phone error if you just added the apk. Motorola wants the phone sent in to repair the issue but will continue working on it. The reason it fails is some system apps have a checksum from install and if not matched causes it to fail. Can hot boot a ROM to the play (r800at) but not getting far on making the ROM for xt912. My 64 bit system bit the dust from a waterspill. Anyone who can compile the ROM for me and make sure I can flash it to my phone. We can use team viewer to fiqure out where it went wrong. My system runs windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Brioli:
Hello

Total Noob here to xda forums and to cell phone technology....

I just wanted to thank everyone that is working on this issue. I've always been very good at working with computers and the sort but this cell phone business is in a league of its own.:eek:

I got a donor Verizon Moto Rzr XT912 (Developer Edition-purchased end of September 2012) from a friend that I wanted to use with Straight Talk in the US. I know straight talk said it was a "no-go" but figured if anyone could get it working it would be me. I ordered the micro SIM card (which came as a AT&T version)...and well, as you all know, I was wrong...

I have spent the last two days scouring the internet looking for solutions and the like. I've spent one whole day on this forum alone reading all that I can (including this entire thread...which admittingly some posts might as well be a foreign language I'm not fluent in). I was able to manually switch the phone to GSM from CDMA and enter ST's API settings...etc...

I downloaded Radiocomm v 11.12.2 and did the GSM unlock (which has left me without the ability to enter any ADI settings at all. It's all blank).

My sense tells me that if the same model phone can be carried by AT&T and T-Mobile and work with Straight Talk why not the Verizon model. So the fault lies with vzw, and it's my understanding they shouldn't be able to do this anymore by law.

I am willing to assist in anyway possible with my phone but you will have to instruct me in the " Development for Dummies" way. I mean I'm pretty tech savy and have done some minor coding, rebuilt PC's, able to follow instructions very well because I'm amazingly detail oriented, and have always been able to solve my own PC issues etc... My brain is a sponge so I learn very quickly. I have also familiarized myself with the main terms that you guys use when referring to certain actions like flash, bricked, ROM, etc...

In the mean time I will be keeping up with this thread because I really want to use this phone with ST. I'm not in a position to purchase another phone at this time. So please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Thank you

Razr on anything other than Verizon

I'm currently without a cell phone service.

Had a break up with the fiancee' a few months ago and I know have a Razr Maxx ESN clean.

I can't get Verizon service and actually would rather have a prepaid service.

I would absolutely love to activate this on any of the prepaid services that offer 4g (tmobile would rock too) but all I can find is possibly how to put it on Pageplus (3g).

I'm on the Jellybean leak. It's sad that the phone just sits in the drawer till I sell it for a few hundred or figure a way to get better prepaid service for it.

I hope we get some progress on this or otherwise I'll have to start sending smoke signals to communicate (good luck finding a job talking to them that way).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] acslam:
Google voice + groove ip lite or similar - gets you a free wifi phone. Not exactly cell service, but better than nothing, especially if you're job hunting and need communication. +1 on the GSM unlock though - I'm watching this thread and basically foaming at the mouth on a constant basis. If there was anything I could do to help speed it along, I would!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] igwtapc:
Okay. I am working on making a ROM but running into not having a 64bit system. Need a workaround or someone who is willing to compile the ROM for me. Have the file created but can not make it flash. It will unlock us carriers but creates a com.android.phone error soon as it connects. The file signature must match install date or signed install. It is kinda like if you install root software in a non rooted phone.

So are you saying that I can use this to unlock gsm in the U.S...and also, do I need to flash a custom rom first?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] igwtapc:
It is already done. The radio will not accept the information from telephony provider.apk unless it is flashed in. If you just update the apk then the phone.apk will crash. The MCC/MNC info is missing for the us.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] igwtapc:
Unsure if it will work. I am used to doing work on windows phones not android. I am doing this as a work in progress and trying to work with all that are willing to help me. Some of the work is the same but running into a lot of walls.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Cks69:
I would like to try it, but unfortunately today I sold the razr I had on JB, and my daily driver is a maxx.....I dont want to not be able to get back, as I have it running on ICS, and if I upgrade to JB, there is no full SBF file to restore the whole phone to a factory fresh state to JB in case something goes wrong....

Any ideas to test this out??

Will a data wipe from recovery restore the phone running JB bring the phone back to life if ther files where to be pushed to the system via ADB, and or/maybe root explorer (by rep[lacing original ones).....any gururs out there that can confirm this??

Cheers!!!

I am receiving a xt910(gsm version of the droid razr) if you need any files or anything from me do not be shy to. :D
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Cks69:
Files from the XT910 (GSM Version) are not the same for the XT912 (CDMA Version)...............If I am not mistaken....specially the radio/phone files....

But then again, I could be wrong.....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] yalkowni:
Well earlier somewhere in this thread one of the people working on this said that he needed files from the xt910
[Motorola Droid RAZR] igwtapc:
You can try but never got ICS broke down yet. CM10 is not proving helpful. If anyone is willing to help out then be my guest. Using root access and pushing the file gets it to try and connect but soon as it connects the phone app fails. Wonder if it has to do with the same apps as the s3 that throws up the non Verizon sim error. If anyone has any ideas or want to change any of my work, no problem. We can get this knocked out of the park.

Okay, can someone get me all the info from there folder /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony on their xt912. It will not give any personal information. I am looking at the telephony.apk data from a non rooted phone. I also need a clean build.prop file.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] raymond36136:
What about taking radio from gsm version? I know on the droid 3 u just had to adb the gsm radio to cdma version, change build.prop and reboot. Anyway this could work?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] igwtapc:
There is enough of a difference to not work. They split the images just for Verizon enough to keep from doing it. So far all the phones are just missing enough to keep them off of US carriers. We have to find what needs to be changed in the ROM and fix it.

The author should state this in that post now that its not working, because I saw a lot of guys here asking the same question which I know pisses people off lol.

And is there still someone working on this project?

I read somewhere in here that some Verizon rep said that xt912 and 910 have the same HW but different radios, so why not flash xt910' radio in 912? Someone must have tried it I'm sure so what happened?

I just bought a RAZR as a second device and I'm willing to test anything because its not my daily driver yet!

I've worked and developed roms and stuff for old Motorola's (v360, v3, l7, etc) so I know all that rsd stuff and others... But this is on android platform now so.... I'll see what I can do!

The 1877 seem edit is immaterial because it is simply the default band configuration for a global device. All we were doing was jumping the gun a bit by a few months and having international global service working before it was announced with ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] igwtapc:
We need a way to breakdown the radio to find where the lock is. On the droid RAZR HD we just changed nv line 8322 from 01 to 00 and we have US carriers. Unknown what that nv line is but we need to see if it will translate to other radios for US carriers unlock.
