Just curious, what format are you dumping the tables to? If it's excel or csv, I would love to help out. Although I'm sure you're capable, I could use conditional formatting or some other formula to compare and highlight cells in both dumps to easily identify differences.

If my limited knowledge of using SQLite Editor to sim unlock Samsung phones and hack tethering on Moto phones tells me anything, we should be looking for a "1" to change to a" 0" right?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
Hehe...that was the really short version...not thorough in the least!

I wish there were more devs who knew how to use the software tools and diagnostic mode interfaces better. I have been messing with these things for years, so I feel comfortable poking around in the NVM, but I am nobody's idea of an expert, unfortunately.

;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
It could be as simple as a single bit to flip and disable the lock and the original band lock on the early VZW global Motorola (Droid 2 Global and Pro)models with the same Qualcomm MDM6600 chipset was such a case, but that would be extremely unlikely that they would set it up that way on the newer models, given that they deliberately changed the method on later radio firmware versions on those models and moved it to an inaccessible area of the radio image.

On the Droid 3, it requires using a band unlocked Chinese radio from the XT883, which is identical hardware to the D3 so the signatures on the radio match and it flashes successfully.

Given that we have no such radio available for the XT912 that can be flashed on stock hardware, we have to hope that the solution is still accessible in the NVM somewhere.

RadioComm has a feature called NV/SEEM that reads the NVM tables and renders them as .NVM files and has a compare function built in. I also have a perl script written by another

TBH member for converting the hex to ASCII which can be helpful for reading some items that are expressed as ASCII readable strings.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
I figured it was more complex. Thanks again for the info and please keep us posted on what you find. I've had my hands on just about every Verizon phone and I love learning new info like this. If you don't mind spending some time explaining I'd be willing to learn and help however I can.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ed27:
Hello I need help, my phone is a droid rarz maxx on ICS leak .79,the radiocomm trick to make it work on GSM works fine, but when I installed a custom rom (KOA AOKP B38) I can not change the NV_RF_BC_CONFIG_I.

What can I do to use this custom on gsm network?

Im from Nicaragua.

Thanks.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] oildriller83:
I've been following you and TBH since my DROID OG. You guys do awesome work, and are willing to help on multiple levels off and not limited to XDA. Your guys' work is very appreciated. Just throwing that out there :)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] z0bug33:
I managed to unlock it by installing update 203, now I have a problem where the signal is very poor (was poor even when I used the GSM patch).

Do the later updates have better GSM signal? currently running KOA 4.0.4 any advice? I need 900mhz signal
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Kennii:
i got a XT910. do i have to do this? will this phone work on h2o wireless?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rhenry00:
I can get any Bionic or Razr from Verizon - good or bad esn to work on ATT or Tmobile. I have an ad on eBay. Look up Bionic gsm unlock bands. $30 which includes shipping back to you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
Enlighten us Ol' Unlocker of Razr's.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bookmonke:
So you first post on this site is to sell something.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
Not just something....a service that he cannot provide. Yes, he can unlock the Bionic for AT&T, but unless he's a developer in disguise withholding information not made to the public, he can't do the Razr.

Some people...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] oildriller83:
Actually he's doing the same thing the OP was about. This hack has been confirmed to work on the DROID bionic and Motorola DROID RAZR. So how do you think this doesn't work?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
It works on all of them for international GSM service but only works on Bionic for domestic GSM carriers like ATT and T Mobile.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] oildriller83:
I stand corrected. I knew it worked for the Bionic. That's where I came from and tested it as soon as you released how to do it. I misunderstood others postings on where they were able to use the Razr after unlocking.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Kennii:
please someone...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] hamjunk:
no, will not yet work on h2o wireless or any other us carrier

Droid 4 from US on UK GSM Network

Hey guys,

Firstly, thankyou to everyone with their hard work on getting global GSM (and US based - which is still work in progress) to this stage.

This is what I understand so far about the Motorola Droid 4 specifically

1. New from Verizon in the US it has GSM disabled but has the ability to use GSM networks.

2. The default Rom which ships with the phone from Verizon is Gingerbread 2.3.6

3. There is a hack to make GSM enabled for this stock ROM which is listed at the beginning of this thread.

4. The leaked ICS 4.0.4 Roms for the Droid 4 (e.g 6.16.208 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27196786#post27196786) seems to enable GSM for International Carriers that use GSM.

So here is my thing...

I really want the Droid 4 but I live in the UK

I'm currently in the US (for work) and was thinking of buying a Droid 4 from somewhere and trying to enable GSM so I can put my UK sim card in it when I'm back home and use it as normal

I have found a store that will sell me a Droid 4 in the US for $589 without a contract

They seem to think it is GSM enabled already (but I dont think they know)

So really, if I buy the Droid 4 before I fly back to the UK and apply the ICS 4.0.4 (6.16.208 build) and then cut my normal SIM up to fit the micro-sim slot, will it work?

I am on T-Mobile UK and Vodafone UK back home (I have 2 UK Sim cards)

Your thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks!

Andy
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
I think you are mistaken. Currently verizon runs on cdma technology and One X is GSM. It will not work cross platform.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
GSM version of RAZR is already unlocked and you should not have any problems using it on H2O.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kundalus:
I tired this in india but some how could nto check completely. Can anyone tell me the procedure on how to unroot and return to stock after motofail & bootstrap installed
[Motorola Droid RAZR] americalexander:
So this might be a silly question:

Will this interfere with the OTA updates? Should I undo it before updating?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
It will not interfere with any updates but will need to be reapplied after any update to the CDMA radio. When the ICS update hits, this will no longer be required as global support is enabled by default.

This just allows you to jump the gun and enable it now under GB builds for international use.

The hack makes no changes to the system at all and has no effect on updates whatsoever.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] zelet:
Does this allow me to use an international prepaid sim?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tk76:
Can someone link to or describe to most recent simple way to get this to work? I remember someone working on a script, but not sure if it worked correctly.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
I made zip file installations for the Razr that can be run from Razr Bootstrap recovery on a rooted device. That's not the same as a script but works well if you don't want to use a PC with RadioComm.

You can find the zip files attached in this thread by clicking on the paperclip icon in the thread title to see all the attachments.

Using RadioComm is much faster and less involved if you do have a PC with the application and drivers installed already and the entire procedure takes about 90 seconds.

Edit: Instructions found here for using RadioComm to apply the edit.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] tk76:
Thanks!

One quick question- if I use RadioComm do I still need to be rooted?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
No, the actual "hack" has nothing to do with root or the system and is in the radio.

The other modifications you may want to do will require root, like apns-conf.xml or build.prop edits for international use.

The fundamental part of this is all in the radio NVM, though.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tk76:
Simple question:

I used radiocomm to make the necessary changes and then reboooted my phone. Once I get to the UK and pop in the UK sim card what setting on the phone do I need to gate it to use the GSM baseband, or will it happen automatically?

Is there any simple way for me to check now if I can activate the GSM baseband prior to leaving the US? (I don't want to connect to a US carrier, I just want to see if I can access the GSM radio.)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] trickyhenry:
That's what I have done with razr maxx. Only thing not working is mms

You should be fine.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xuanphucn:
can any droid razor work with this method? I'm looking for a verizon droid razor and unlock it to use on att. please help
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bookmonke:
For some reason the RAZR will only work on oversea carriers, they are still working on a way to get it working on US carriers.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] stwallman:
So here's a question...if I have a Razr and take it to China BUT use an AT&T sim card, will it work over there (but not in the US) ??
[Motorola Droid RAZR] :
Can anyone please make a video on how to do this cuz I just got a razr and don't want to mess it up thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] labsONE:
Potentially. I had an AT&T SIM card in my RAZR and I could roam onto the local Canadian towers with it and get AT&T service.

Don't know if it'll work or how stable it'll be (it was really unstable probably because it kept trying to connect to the US towers in between connecting to the Canadian ones), but it potentially will work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
Hey guys and gals. I have not visited this forum for quite a while. I see some progress has been done. Currently I have my razr with maxx battery in my drawer and using work provided droid charge until GALAXY S3 comes out then I will buy it. Because I am tired of waiting for razr hd. Once razr hd is out I will find out a way to get hold of it. Other than that possible will not return to razr yet. It will be my back up phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tk76:
I changed the settings on radiocomm. Arrived in UK and installed my activated GiffGaff (O2 network) Sim.

Things started promising, but never was able to make a call aeventuall broke what I had. Used the app called phone info to access the GSM band info (replaces *#*#4636#*#*)

It could recognize the giffgaff card and change to GSM onlt or WCDMA preferred... but eventually I accidentally changed the setting to GSM BAnds = USA only... and now the card is no longer recognized.

Also no longer able to view any networks where previously all major UK networks showed.

Any suggestions as to how to get it back to all bands... maybe using radiocomm?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] trickyhenry:
I didn't mess with any radiocomm. I just installed the leak . 206 then in the settings menu chose global or gsm. Everything worked great. I think any leak before . 206 didn't have the settings. I'm on . 209 now and use it as daily driver. Best phone I've owned.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
You can fix that issue by flashing the radio with either RSD Lite and the full XML.zip or just the radio image.

You can also fix it with RadioComm and I believe the specific NV Item is 0850(dec) which is the Service Domain Preference and should be 0002 for the default value.

Try reading that Item with RadioComm to see what the value is now.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bookmonke:
Anybody have any luck getting the RAZR to work on AT&T yet?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tk76:
My NV Item 850 Service Domain preference reads as 0002, so that simple fix is out. I do appreciate your help.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
Ok, well I am certain that its an NV Item and it would be very valuable to nail it down specifically.

Try this one, if you will.

NV_BAND_PREF_I 0441 default value is 00FFFF

Edit: I am also attaching a file that can be used to dump the entire readable NVM with RadioComm using the NV/SEEM feature. If you want to use it to dump your phone and examine the NVM to isolate this item or anything else, it can be very useful and there is a Compare function built in to facilitate this process.

Select NV/SEEM from the features menu at the top and then select Open from the Table window and browse to the Full_Dump_Template.NVM file. Hit Continue on Fail from the buttons on the right and Use Length from Table is already defaulted.

Then hit Read from the Actions window below that.

The phone will be set into Suspend Mode and the read process will take a very long time, approx. 20-30 min depending on the speed of your PC.

Your phone will appear dead and you will need to use the restart button on the main GUI to restart the phone after reading. This allows it to read many protected items that would be unreadable in normal mode.

When its done reading, hit save and name the file as desired. The default name is the ESN number of the device (XXXXXXXX.NVM). The file should be about 1MB in size.

If you send it to me, I can take a look and run a compare with my dumps and we can find the answer.

I do not recommend posting these files as they contain many critical bits of data about your device and should not be shared openly.

Not likely someone would go to the trouble of reading and attempting to abuse that information, but no need to find out either. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] _-sardao-_:
Hello there, this is my first post, i am from Porugal and i have bought a razr from verizon on ebay with a craked screen, i got it fixed and instaled the last leak 211.

The thing is that a put a vodafone 4g card on it and it actually started working, i had gsm network and could make calls and send sms. The thing that i cant understand is that when i get at my home the phone simply loses the conection, and i go to phone info an change to gsm only and sometimes it works for some secunds and stops again, i have changed to lte\cdma\evdo\gsm\wcdma and the same thing happens, but as soon as i go to work it gets signal again. When its not working if i do a network scan it shows me the other two networks that exist here in portugal but not my operator. Dont know what to do, have used radiocom to check the NV but they are ok.

If any one can help.

Thanks!!!

3G bands for Bionic

Anyone knows what are the 3G bands that the Bionic work with?

I know it works at least with 850/2100 for member testimonies. but I would like to know if it works with 3G 900.. I would be great for me..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tk76:
Hey, it works now. Thanks for your help. And I can conform another success with a Verizon Razr working in the UK. The biggest hurdle was manually entering in the APN data, as the GiffGaff Sim is not recognized (but still works.)

Data works, but only at 2G, which is super-slow. But good enough to get me by for the month, especially since I often have access to WIFI.

BTW: roughly $15 gets you unlimited data (but slow on my phone), 450 min out (unlim incoming) calls and cheap minute local and international rates. If only the US had similar options...

Wow, just ran a speed test.

16 kbs up, 25kbs down.

Merely 1000X slower than what I am used to on LTE :)

RAZR is getting ICS with GSM bands unlocked.

http://www.droid-life.com/2012/06/2...6-16-211-approved-by-verizon-its-update-time/
[Motorola Droid RAZR] munchy_cool:
it says "Global roaming is included" so GSM bands for US aint gonna be unlocked
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gierso:
does this works with a droid 3 ? or only razr d4 and bionic?

:D:D:D

yes i know we have a chinese radio but it hogs battery so i want to know if maybe this can be done to a regular vzw d3 radio
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tk76:
I just set up my second RAZR in the UK using radiocomm. I simply changed the one setting then manually entered the APN setting.

Strangely enough, this time I am getting 3G (2.5 MBS) while my 1st phone is stuck at glacial 2G speeds. There probably is a simple fix for whatever I did wrong when I was mucking around with my first set up- but it will all be moot once I move to ICS.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] janocool:
Im using this hack. with the new ics with global support are we going to need a unlock code from verizon for using it in other countries?

And by the way what is the best way to upgrade with our devices i mean rooted, because when i tried to upgrade with ota i got errors until i return to full stock

Enviado desde mi DROID RAZR usando Tapatalk

UPDATE: Install the Official release and global feature works just fine in Ecuador Networks with no patches or hacks applied, just keep poping when you restart the phone the sim from unknown source but not big deal.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
It does not work on US carriers, so there is a similar band lock as that on the D3 in place on Razr/D4 and we haven't found the solution nor even the mechanism yet.

The only dual core LTE Moto that does NOT have such a lock is the Bionic.

I have spent considerable time examining the NVM to find those answers, but so far have come up empty. It is possible that any solution found for one would apply to all of the MDM6600 chipset based models and it would be nice if that were the case.

I tend to doubt it...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
All the hard work and research is paid off. This phone will be completely unlocked. Look at the OP!!! Cheers!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ooohhaaahh:
even for U.S. t-mobile or at&t?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
This is not true. The ICS update enables "Global" GSM carriers, but does not enable domestic US GSM carriers which is what all the work has been about.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] royalbloodvi:
if these are unlocked, 2g and 3g data work on a local carrier (eg. buy verizon razr maxx, install local australian sim card)?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] perezinthenet:
I've been reading around but I can't find a decisive answer, if I buy a regular Verizon razr maxx will I be able to use it completely on att? Not roaming, in replacement of my skyrocket now

Thanks
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
No. The OP was updated with incorrect information. ICS will enable GSM globally, not in the US. Cellzealot is working on unlocking it for US use, but hasn't had luck yet.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
This is direct quote from the Unlocking Sim policy for verizon : This will allow use of 3rd party LOCAL sim card.

Thnk you again for hard work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] joshw0000:
Can you post a link or picture of the document stating this? Verizon is one of the most adamant companies at locking down their phones. I find it hard to believe they would encourage an update that unlocks their phones for competitors networks.

The 211 update (dubbed to be the official OTA) was leaked a few days ago. All leaks until that point were locked in the US and I haven't read any reports of 211 being unlocked.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
Wellp want to keep my job. I can share information that I am allowed to share and screenshots and link are against the policy.

I have love and hate relationship with my job. And saying tht verizon is "adamant at locking down their phones" is not completely accurate. Every company locks their phones. ATT has been doing it for th past 5 years with their iphone.

Lets hope that the info that i have here is accurate because it is prerelease info that can change anytime.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
Local means from the country you are in outside the US.

There is no question regarding whether this works or not on US carriers now that it has been released.

It does not work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mc732:
what a tease!

Today i had my att sim in my verizon razr for the hell of it and i got 2 text messages! It still says no service. Wtf!?

Fresh rooted .211

Hope someone is still working on this.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cellzealot:
I am still working on this as are others experimenting with various models.

You can get calls and text working under the ICS builds on ATT and T-Mo despite the no signal, no service messages. It is possible that some build.prop edits may allow data services to work.

Someone with a Bionic has said they have full data working under a CM9 build after making a series of build.prop edits.

There is still plenty to look at here, despite it's not working by default, as was suggested by the OP above.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lucidvtec:
My bros att iphone gets and sends txt..been turned off for two months now

Only when wifi is connected thou

I think att used wifi for data if possible to keep the load down on their towers

Whats crazier is the msgs my bro gets are from two different people talking... its pretty shady if u ask me

Bone stock iphone. Was on att.. turned off two months ago...number was not ported

I can also confirm that the new ICS does not work with tmobile or att activated sims...

If u have wifi turned on with a att sim u may get txts thou

You have a link or some more info on this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Warrimonk:
X912 on Rogers in near future?

Hey guys just seeking some clarification... So if the ICS update will unlock "GSM Roaming" Does that mean that I would be able to throw in a Rogers GSM simcard and have the phone work strictly on my Rogers plan?

I know a friend selling a Verizon Razr but it seems a bit sketchy, Will the state of the ESN matter?? I have a Telus Touch Pro 2 (my old phone) with a good ESN so I could use CDMA workshop to flash it to work on Telus?? The Touch Pro 2 is basically completely dead so besides the clean ESN it is useless.

Thanks a ton.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] elzeus:
imessages works with wifi.... don't even need a sim card installed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] phonephoenix:
OP needs clarification

From what I think I know, The Droid Razr will work ONLY on international GSM's The Rezound will work on ANY GSM but only gets 2G data, the Droid 4 will work ONLY with international GSM's and I don't know whats with the Bionic.

I think this info should belong in the first post. I would hate to buy a verizon phone and find out later that it will not work for ATT.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] droidxrooting:
Cellzealot, you were mostly right. The info that I got was not clear enough to make any assumptions.

Hope we will unlock it so it can be used with any sim.

thank you for your hard work.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] munchy_cool:
Considering that the MCC for US is 310 and it's MNC which is different I think they have blocked MNC for AT&T and T-Mobile some where in the ril

Not sure though, just throwing ideas...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mc732:
I was hoping for some clarification on this. I think I've read every post on the internet regarding this and hadn't seen anything about calls or text working at all.

Hope you know something I don't!

Texts randomly work for my att Sim when in my RAZR. I would receive like 2 days worth of texts at once when it did work
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mc732:
This is confusing to me. It has to connect to the tower to receive a text yes? Or is there some mechanism that would work through wifi, even on a verizon phone?

If they're blocking the mnc or the operator # from the sim or something it seems like it wouldn't be able to connect at all.
