Thanks. I was able to order a sim but not a goody bag. I have a UK address but do not have a UK credit card. I know I can top up the card at a store, but can I buy a goody bag (with unlimited web) at a store, or only online using a UK credit card?

---------- Post added at 05:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:55 PM ----------

I figured out that I will be able to order a goodybag using a top up access card, so all is good. Now I just have to hope I can get the Razr to work. I am currently on stock and not rooted. I plan on rooting my phone, setting up rootkeeper and then unrooting. That way I can use the OTA ICS (if it arrive in the next month) and maintain root access. I believe I need to be rooted to flash the GSM enabler.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] munchy_cool:
does have gsm capability as Verizon will provide an update for the same (which I guess is what is being done here), correct me if I am wrong

[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
Yes, the recent ICS leaks for both Razr and D4 enable global mode by default using the same 8 byte string in RF_BC_CONFIG_I that we have been applying to get GSM service working.

There is still another lock on US carriers that is preventing domestic GSM use and that has yet to be isolated and disabled, if at all possible.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tk76:
Will I be unlocked abroad with the stock ICS?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] munchy_cool:
Just a vague idea but can't we spoof the phone to make it believe it ain't in US ....not sure if its possible or not just brain storming
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spsp1997:
im happy that this has got somwhere.....at least..............well i just have to wait and see what happens...........all i got to do is pop in a sim and...........NETWORK!!!!this is good news i hope it is true.............if its not i'll throw my razr across the highway.....and you know the rest.........before someone comments for having the phone.....the answer is "NO"...

p.s im not going to throw it!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] trickyhenry:
All giffgaff has unlimited web. The goody bag is for text and minutes. You'll need to activate the sim before you can top up I guess. This can be done online with any debit or credit card I bet.

My maxx should arrive today/tomorrow. I'll be using the GSM hack so will update when done.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] trickyhenry:
Hey, are you saying that I can just flash the t-mobile ics leak and it will automatically enable gsm for use outside of usa ?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] tk76:
Thanks. Let us know how it goes. It sounds like ICS will unlock the GSM radio for international use once released. I guess I'll have to wait and see if the GSM is completely unlocked or only for use with a Verizon supplied sim. If it is locked down it I can hopefully still bypass with this hack.

dont know where things are here but the sprint photon (same chips as these) has been gsm unlock for domestic carriers, in case info here is of use:

the answer may be in it
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
Thanks, I will take a look. It maybe similar to the Chinese radio we have.

It's entirely possible that the lock mechanism itself is not in the NVM, but elsewhere in the radio image. We have found this to be the case in the past with other devices.

I still have hope that with all the new info and pieces falling into place that we will find the key and be able to do this at will on stock hardware, without the need for signed unlocked radio images.

The fact that it works so readily on the Bionic without any modifications at all besides the RF_BC_CONFIG_I edit is what makes it seem plausible.

Either there is a specific hardware reason for omitting the band lock on that device or they just completely overlooked it, the latter I doubt very highly.

Understanding why that is the case for Bionic is critical.

Congratulations on your success! I know it's been a long time coming.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] halfevildruid:
I started looking at the bionic, and thought the answer for the photon lied there. The stock photon RF_BC_CONFIG_I is already set to what you guys change the bionic to, and there are line in the Bionic I looked for in the photon that just weren't there. It really only took someone the guts to flash the stock Japanese KDDI without any known modifications (and find it), was our answer the whole time. Too simple if you ask me. Anyway, hope this helps. Good luck!

A link to maxx radios would be great! If you found the time.

PS: I have seen your work around the web for a long time here and there, we are currently in an issue where when gsm is flashed cdma breaks. Currently we are unable to flash a stock radio back, and forced to sbf stock and lose gsm. Anything you come across that may help in these regards let us know, :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
Since the verizon/Motorola unlocking GSM functionality soon. This thread would be obsolete.

But I would like to thank everyone who contributed to our common goal.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mattlgroff:
It won't become obsolete, they are unlocking global GSM which are different frequency than US GSM like AT&T and T-Mobile
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
I think verizon is unlocking quadband GSM to be used all over the world. It would be not like "verizon" but from what I am getting is it will be unlocked.

On the newest RAZR ICS leaks (I'm running 6.16.206 personally) they not only have Global radio support, but it is enabled by default. View attachment 1079068
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
An unlock from Verizon would only provide Global unlock, not ATT & T-Mobile. They'd stop at nothing to ensure that their phones are unusable on other American carriers which is a goal of this thread. I don't think it will die any time soon, though more detailed how-to's will (hopefully) spawn from it.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
True
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stupidchicken03:
I just heard about the global unlock with ICS, but like others have already said, it would be nice to get this working in the states on GSM :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wtfverox:
I was updating the phone to OS 2.3.4 and while it was downloading I was browsing the internet and all of the sudden the phone froze, it didn't do anything for minutes, and then I took the battery out, when I put it back, the phone didn't want to load, it got stuck on the mytouch logo. I started to read and I did some steps to see if it work. I used the method pressing volumen down + power to go on HBOOT. I tried recovery first, then when it rebooted I got the red triangle with the exclamation mark. Then I turned it off and I tried factory reset, it took like 30 minutes or so and it didn't do anything. I was reading some threads here about some similar situations and I don't really want to do anything because they're instructions for different situations.

When HBOOT is on the screen it says:

Then save, next choose to add another APN

skip to:

You will see that only one APN has the option to be chosen, that is ok, Just choose the one that is able to be chosen.

Now go back to Homescreen and then reboot your phone.

This works for me, hope it can help you. I tried a hundred different ways and this was it. Capitalization is important, and the APN type was the trick.

them settings did not work for me. is there any other settings i can use?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c1c2doc:
working APN

If you are on stock rom then the normal straight talk settings work. Although you will have to download APN manager from the market to delete the T-Mobile apn or else your system will automatically switch to it occasionally which will drop data.

If you are on a custom rom (MIUI, ICS, etc.):

1. Open apn settings

2. Open the T-Mobile apn

DO NOT ERASE OR CHANGE ANYTHING OTHER THAN THE FOLLOWING

3. Change APN to wap.tracfone

4. Change Port to 8080

5. Change MMSC to http://mms.tracfone.com

6. Erase anything typed in the "APN type" field

7. Save

8. Delete any other APNs.

If you already deleted the T-Mobile apn on a custom rom you'll have to reinstall the rom or ask the developer what the apn settings were.

This has always worked for me. Hope it helps.

I tried searching and couldn't find an answer for my question.

I just recently purchased a refurbed Asus Transforer TF101 + dock. I want to protect the screen of course, but also want to protect the back. I really love the look and texture of the back of the tablet. I want to get a clear protector for it, but I'm afraid because of the TF101's unique texture, the clear protectors(wet installs) won't properly adhere to it. Does anyone have experience + pictures with their install?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] lacrossev:
This is a skinomi techskin. I bought it because it was the first product out there for the transformer, maybe the new stuff is thinner/better but this works fine. Its a soft film like invisibleshield/bodyguardz/phantomskinz and as you can see, the material actual conforms slightly to the texture, at least to the dimpled parts. What might not be apparent here is there are still some marks from the soapy liquid used for lubrication on installation. Its been on the tablet since May of last year and it still hasn't cleared completely up, so i would suggest getting a colored one if that kind of stuff bothers you.

Fits in the dock fine, just takes a little bit of extra push to get it totally in there to engage the lock due to it being slightly thicker.

I'm thinking of trying to find a good rom because every rom got faults and good thing. I see rom posts where reads external sd works etc and it actually dont work fully. Sometimes copying large files tilts the sd card.

Well anyway im thinking of posting the results here in forums too so others could benefit from my testing and searching for the good rom for me :)

Well the plan is to install roms on stock everything wiped phone. Then test lets say antutu benchmark and if rom can be OC i will test antutu on them too. I got this phone working at 1.4ghz pretty stable so i know this works. Well in some roms oc dont work at all.

If there is another benchmark someone could suggest i can do benchmark with it too.

Anyway external sd card is largest problems i had so far. In stock it does work so its not faulty.

Its going to be several days each rom so i get to know battery life too. But if anyone got suggestions or even better know if someone done tests for roms. I did not find any tough.
