The first thing I did after completing the edit on my RAZR M and testing it was to check the NVM of my D4 for the same item. It is not present on any of the MDM6600 chipset devices, unfortunately.

There are a number of other items that contain single byte boolean switches(01 on 00 off) in the 8000-8400 range, which is the main section of Motorola proprietary NVM area and I have tried all of them and none of them enables US GSM carriers.

I have also tried logging with QXDM in order to try to replicate the method used to isolate the 8322 item in the MSM8960 chipset based devices but without any results so far.

This was deliberately setup on those devices as a boolean switch by the Moto engineers and there is not necessarily a corollary item or switch on the MDM6600 based devices.

I have dumped the NVM from all of my devices including Bionic, D4, RAZR and Xoom many times and logged QXDM for hours monitoring the radio searching for clues to the nature and location of the MCC block and have tried many varied combinations of NV edits.

I have spent hundreds of hours doing this over the past year since their release over many firmware revisions and configurations and have NVM dumps from other users devices and engineering models with the unlocked Chinese radio and everything working as it should and still have not found the solution.

I am not saying I haven't missed anything nor thought through all of the possibilities, but I have amassed a considerable amount of information and studied it at length.

We have tools and techniques for access and analysis of the radios and the images and haven't found the answer yet.

I just wanted to make clear that much of this ground has been covered and there is a lot of work that has been done thus far.

Thank you cellzalot. I am not trying to beat a dead horse in anyway. Verizon may have got it right with the RAZR xt912. Maybe if we ask the right person at Motorola nicely we could get a good clue or the answer of unlock for it. Verizon has to unlock any non subsidized phone per the FCC if purchased before Jan 26th. Maybe if we get enough people to complain then maybe they will get the unlock. I am no longer bound by their contract and paid for my phones, maybe we need all owners like me to class action the FCC for the unlock. Maybe a nv dump with a us sim might show something, not trying to be overzealous, just asking. I will use my resources if this hasn't been done.

i have xt912 on JB, rooted, installed bootstrap... made a system backup, then flashed the GSM enable, then rebooted

now my phone starts to boot and i get

Encryption Unsuccessful, says i need to factory reset my phone? i did, and it keep coming back to this error...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] johng75:
thanx, im alive again, but apparently the ICS sim bypass doest work on JB? drat... guess ill need to find a sim...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] igwtapc:
still working

Okay,

we have some great people working on this issue of unlock. the only thing that I have not noticed to be tried is using at commands to see what the phone is doing. I so far got the motorola end to respond but working on the qualcomm chip to respond. if you need hyperterminal here is a download.

these are low level, no safeguard, or any protection from error commands for the radio in the phone!

hyperterminal

maybe we can get this done. there is a lock somewhere and it will be found. if you do not know how to use at commands please do not use this. it is possible to brick your phone to only a paperweight.

some of these commands are new to me so here is the list that was pulled from the phone.

at commands available

could someone with an active verzion sim run the command "AT+CLAC" and copy the results to a text file. the at commands shown by me is when the sim is not active.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
Running AT+CLAC from any of the diagnostic serviceware apps immediately reboots the device or resets the modem.

It sends the request translated into a 4 byte hex string "A0225F7E" and the response is either a reboot or modem going offline then returning after reset.

I havent tried from hyperterminal.

Edit: This is on my D4 with VZW SIM inserted and active while booted with BP Tools to expose the modem interface.

dont know if this means anything

i dont know if this is significant or not but today i went to ATT and picked up a micro sim card for free and activated it with a $50.00 go phone prepaid deal. so i put the sim card in and added a new apn according to what ATT told me needed to be in each field. i rebooted the phone and selected global mode for the network settings. then i turned the radio off and back on after selecting lte/cdma/evdo/gsm/wcdma as my preferred network type using the phone info shortcut. the signal bars with the x through it went away and showed full bars and the gsm service status changed from disconnected to in service. it stayed like this for a full minute. during that time i attempted to make a call. it rang one time then disconnected. afterwards i tried to call again and it said outgoing calls restricted by fdn. then i noticed that the signal bars had changed from full bars to a solid signal bar area with no signal but just a solid grey area. i turned the phone off and back on with no change. then i attempted to make a call again and each time i press send the signal comes back for about 2 seconds before it goes back to solid grey and says outgoing calls restricted by fdn. im not sure if anyone else has experienced actually getting signal briefly or not. this was not a close to the U.S. border occurrence either as i am in North Carolina. my device is a rooted xt912 with verizon updated ICS. i hope this can be of some use.

Okay got command list pulled and it is depended on the sim inserted. Does anyone have an xt912 with a non us sim. Wonder if the at commands are a different set again. So far the list has not shown much to me but got some moto manuals about at commands. The sim cards that I got are not active and will be interesting if the sim being active bring a different set of commands. Working on a guide on at commands for the RAZR if this does pan out.

I have an xt912, and, using it with a non us sim.

I am using it with a mexican carrier, and can pick up both us and mx carriers from my location.

Just give me a walk trough on what I need to do.

Also, this is my daily driver, so as much as I would like to help, I don't want to get stuck with a non working phone.

Thanks for keeping his rolling.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] igwtapc:
You need to use hyperterminal and the phone in bp tools mode.

1)Download hyperterminal

2)Reboot to bp tools by shutting down then hold vol up and vol down then press power

3)Connect the phone with USB cable

4)Under device manager find Motorola USB modem

5)Find the com port it is using

6)Start hyperterminal then choose that com port in the drop down box

7)Do not change any settings, just click OK on the next window

8)Click file at the top then choose properties

9)Click the ASCII button, select the two first selection boxes

10)click OK and then OK and you should be back at the main window.

11)Type "at" then hit enter (only type what is in the quotes) next should say ok

12)If you get OK then type "at+clac" and hit enter

13)After the list populates use your mouse to highlight the list

14)Hold the Ctrl key and press c then the highlight may disappear

15)Open notepad then hold Ctrl key and press v

16)Save the file then you can close hyperterminal and then disconnect your phone

17)Reboot your phone and done

Email the notepad file to: igwtahomeandoffice@gmail.com

Looks like we're going somewhere. If for some reason we run flat into a brick wall with this, would there be a possibility of using kexec and aosp to our advantage and possibly run a baseband from an IMG file instead of the actual partition? Similar to how Samsung Captivates on AOSP run it. Since the baseband runs the hardware and is accessed by the software, it may be (however difficult and slim), an option.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] igwtapc:
According to the at commands in the nv of the phone the US sims are not in the approved list. The switch in at+CSO shows as off with a US sim but on with a Verizon sim. The overseas sims have to protocol to activate the vzw at commands since vodaphone and other carriers use them for SMS roaming. If we get at+CSO to change from 0 (off) to 1 (on) then the phone will provision to use the sim info and not the prl list of approved carriers. At+CSO controls the service options for the phone. I have not found the nv item attached to this setting but we need to change from off to on. On the msm8960 it is on to an off setting. The only other setting that may changes this is in at&d which deals with the circuit interrupt with the radio. Will get some more research involved and report back.

It's an extremely complicated issue to understand and I have certainly asked myself the same question a few thousand times while working on it for the past 18 months, so I can definitely relate! ;)

As I have also said many times during that period, I would love to be proven wrong and have someone really go through all of this again and really examine it as closely as I have tried to do and understand the issues on a fundamental level and provide some true feedback and insight.

Unfortunately, that has never happened...

Just say you're going out of country they'll give you the code.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dbreezy187:
If its an xt 907 a droid RAZR m.... not the RAZR max.... you can root it unlock the boot loader and use it on pretty much any gsm network....
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
The important thing to note here is that none of the VZW LTE global Motorola devices has a SIM lock enabled and no unlock code is required nor will any purchased code work. They are all SIM unlocked by default and nobody should waste time and money purchasing a code.

The XT907 RAZR M has a different radio chipset and you can edit the NVM to disable the block on US GSM carriers without root or unlocking the bootloader, but all of them can be used with international GSM carriers without any modifications, except the Bionic which needs a different NV edit for the band configuration for GSM use.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] shouldbeshroomin:
It's been a few months since the last post any progress made for US carriers?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
Nobody that I am aware is actively working on this issue anymore. There is not likely to be a solution developed because of the nature of the problem.

In order to unlock the radio, you first need to unlock the boot loader so that you can flash the China Retail recovery and radio which allows open GSM service.

Unlocking the boot loader has, thus far, proven to be impossible on these models.

I also don't have the APN settings menu in my phone. In fact all the wireless settings look the same... no way to switch to GSM. Did you settings menu change once it detected the new SIM?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lrrc29:
yes the menu appeared with tmobile sim a faster than with the at&t one but your sim needs to be recognized first. Did you get the phone info app from the play store?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fade79:
I just got it. Looks like a pretty useful app actually. I used it to set my Network type as GSM (auto PRL). Is that what you used? After i did that the No SIM found message disappeared and instead I just have a no service message.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lrrc29:
i did use gsm only. you just need to get that sim card recognized playing and cutting it and restarting the phone. every time you move that sim card you need to reboot
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lrrc29:
no service message means it worked. is your sim card desactivated?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] fade79:
No it's a working SIM with an active account. I'm going to let it search for a while longer. I didn't have it on GSM only before. Hopefully this makes the difference.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lrrc29:
try rebooting again. did you get the apn settings on the mobile networks menu?

if nothing works double check your radiocomm steps and make sure your sim card is making contact once you get the "unknown sim" pop up in your phone you should get apn settings in the menu
[Motorola Droid RAZR] radiohead7778580:
Yeah I have the apn settings... And it sees my dim card but won't connect

Okay.. thanks alot for your help
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lrrc29:
i got this from the bionic forum they are also working on scripts for the razr and droid 4 to avoid the radiocomm steps

"The Tmo SIM as well as my AT&T SIM worked perfectly in my Droid 2 Global last night. Something seems off on my Bionic.

Thankfully CDMA/LTE still works, but it's refusing to authenticate to Tmo/ATT. As the instructions say, I'm allowing the Bionic some time. 15 minutes minimum.

I think I'll undo the hack, reboot, redo the hack, reboot and try again. It's just so weird to me because my Bionic happily took the AT&T SIM once, as I have the photo evidence posted earlier in the thread.

Edit 1: Okay, I was hoping this would work.

I left the TMo SIM in the phone. I undid the hack, rebooted with radiocomm, then I redid the hack and rebooted with radiocomm. I'm still not getting any luck.

I'm thinking I might have to try redoing the hack without a SIM card in the phone. I'm not sure how else to get it to take. It feels so close, as I can set the phone to WCDMA only and it'll start measuring signal but won't authenticate to the TMo Network.

Edit 2: A-ha! My little theory worked! I don't know why this worked better, but it did.

I shut the phone down, and made sure it had no SIM card when I booted it up. I went into Safestrap, wiped Cache/Dalvik, and then let it finish booting.

I went into RadioComm, undid the hack, then used RadioComm to reboot.

Once it finished rebooting, I reapplied the hack, then used RadioComm to reboot.

I shut the phone down, and then put in my AT&T SIM and booted up. I went to the Dialer, did *#*#4636#*#* and switched it over to WCDMA Preferred. Then BAM! It immediately hopped onto AT&T's network again!

I powered off, then swapped in my T-Mobile SIM. Not getting any love at all. Whether I try WCDMA Only, GSM Only, WCDMA Preferred, or GSM Auto (PRL) the TMo network refuses to let my Bionic hop on. It had been at least 10 minutes and there wasn't any love there.

So I shut it down, swapped back to the AT&T SIM and set it to WCDMA Preferred. It didn't immediately authenticate like it did before. This hack has some very interesting behavior."
