[Motorola Droid 4] danifunker:
I just finished comparing a Droid RAZR XT912 to a Rogers RAZR XT910, I checked the /system/lib folder and build.prop files.

I found some really interesting differences, and also found that most of the important build.prop differences between the Rogers XT910 and Verizon XT912 were also consistent with the D4.

lines like:

persist.ril.modem.mode = (1 = CDMA, 2= UMTS)

persist.ril.mux.noofchannels = (10 on Rogers, 8 on VZW)

persist.radio.ap.phonetype = (1 = GSM, 2= CDMA)

and my favourite line

persist.ril.features = (0x182 = Rogers, 0x90A = Verizon)

I also found something only in Rogers build.prop:

ro.tether.denied=false

What's also interesting, is that most of the files in the /lib folder is consistent between the D4 and the RAZR, I have also included this report in the attached ZIP file.

Maybe this in combination with some files from the /lib folder might help. Either way, I've included my comparisons in the attached ZIP.

Does anybody want to just try changing the persist.ril.features in the US and see what happens??

Let's get US bands unlocked soon!!!

In my comparissions,

D:\ = XT894

G:\ = XT912

H:\ = XT910

I saw these and a couple other changes comparing the D4 file to the bionic GSM-working ICS leak build.prop. Unfortnately I'm studying for a GRE exam I have tomorrow but will try to give these changes a try when I take a break and if not, definitely by the end of tomorrow. I'm starting to have faith we'll find something. I don't think Verzion did anything that low-level to implement this US carrier block.

School first, xda second. Good luck on your GRE!

Trying to get Radiocomm to recognize my phone but my phone keeps switching to mass storage mode even with Android debugging and mock location enabled. Was in Hashcode's AOKP and went back to the stock ROM and now I can stay in Media Device (MTP) but still don't have the appropriate Windows x64 driver. I'm currently running the attached file which I came across at some point in the Android Development forum in my earlier research into this whole domestic GSM issue. Does anyone else have another x64 driver?

The motivation for my question: Yesterday ariethekid claimed to get T-Mobile working on his Droid Bionic running Verizon's official ICS 246 release so the steps on this page *should* work - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1297714&page=13 along with the appropriate build.prop modifications. The bionic build.prop I attached includes the necessary changes. They would have to be included migrated to the D4 build.prop and I would/will eventually do it but I'm just not that far along yet given my Radiocomm issues.

Update: The OTA ICS updates already includes this 8 byte revision. I believe the only thing that needs to be done is the update of the build.prop.
[Motorola Droid 4] danifunker:
In order to get the RadioComm interface, make sure you're using the latest Motorola Mobile Phone Drivers (these are different than the android drivers), they are version 5.9 as of right now. Please download them from here :

https://developer.motorola.com/tools/usb_drivers/

Looks like the Motorola site is down though, so you can download them from here :

Just a thought. Perhaps these values could be checked against a Bionic?

You would have better luck posting this question in that forum.

By the way, Bionic GSM is a go. They have it fully up and running in that thread. Confirmed working by quite a few users
[Motorola Droid 4] terinfire:
danifunker tried that already and folks have posted results in this topic (and it didn't work, apparently):

Apparently, it does not apply to GSM in the US:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32478552&postcount=21

They, however, did not try to toggle 4869. They did 4870 - 4872. Apparently the Bionic ignores those keys and does not worry about it.

Has anyone actually tried, for sure, to toggle these settings and verify whether they work or not?

D4 for US GSM Bump

Hello out there?

Has anyone come up or been experimenting on how to get the domestic U.S. carriers unblocked on the Droid 4? I've been searching high and low and apparently the Bionic fixes do not work on the D4.
[Motorola Droid 4] gtmaster303:
Quite a few poked around, but there hasn't been any progress in the past few months. If this phone had more support, I'm sure it could be figured out, but not like this. It does take brilliant minds at work to figure this stuff out.
[Motorola Droid 4] blackstar1744:
There are some people looking into it but it is absurdly complicated. Granted they keep moving closer to a solution, this is the most complicated phone workaround I've ever seen. Motorola/Verizon is straight evil.

droid bionic gsm unlock

Hey guys. Ive been on XDA for so long and never reslly mentioned that the gsm on my droid bionic on ICS is unlocked. Ive tried alot of methods but one method i used finally worked. i just pop a non verizon sim card in and it works 100%. txt etc.
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
What is this method?
[Motorola Droid 4] cellzealot:
It's been known and well established that the MDM6600 radio on Bionic, in particular the hardware revision A first production devices, do not have the block on US GSM carriers that the subsequent RAZR/D4 models have and can be made to work with a few simple modifications.

This does not apply to the RAZR/D4 and after a great deal of examination it has been determined that the block is in the signed BP radio image and cannot be disabled via NV editing nor any other means.
[Motorola Droid 4] euro1990:
Dang, I just stumbled on this thread after playing with a co-worker's Droid4 and hoping it could be modified to work on T-mobile in the USA. Guess I'll keep an eye on this thread and pick one up if it's ever figured out. Stupid Moto/VZW. So glad I left VZW almost 2 years ago. Had a Droid1, which was an ok phone and service. On AT&T now with a Captivate Glide, but I'd like to get back to a nice sturdy Moto device with keyboard if possible. And would like to give T-mobile a try, so dang cheap for their no-contract or prepaid plans.
[Motorola Droid 4] every1nosme:
I had great hopes for a method similar to the 883 radio swap on the d3 working for this phone as an upgrade to my d3 but I guess without a gsm verrsion of this phone to pull settings ffrom it just ain't gonna happen. I was also interested in the sprint photon q as well but with sprint and motorola pretty much permanently affixing the sim card in that phone that seems like a no go for me as well. Its a shame that Motorola didnt find it necessary to build a high end gsm slider after these two phones or at least upgrade the milestone 3 to ics for those wanting something newer with a keyboard since its hardware is at least still pretty decent. Hate to say it but if my d3 gets too out of date and I have to choose a phone without a physical qwerty I will probably move to a iphone and go with oe of the bluetooth keyboard cases available for them to help ease the sting. I like Motorola devices and will miss them but if they aren't going to build something I want then I will vote with my wallet and move to another manufacturer with something I can live with. Never thought I would consider moving to apple instead of Motorola because they provided products that fit my needs better but I guess that shows why motorola is not the company they were and hasn't maintained there place I the market.

[Motorola Droid 4] euro1990:
I actually just picked up an XT862 off craiglist recently for $40. Seemed like a good backup device to my Samsung Captivate Glide. Not quite good enough as a replacement, it's a tad slower and dimmer than the Glide. But the mods to get it working on AT&T were a breeze... so sad they blocked the D4 from USA GSM so well!
[Motorola Droid 4] redsrule2500:
Same, just yesterday. This is my main device....

Sad indeed, all I wanted was Jellybean Keyboard! :(
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
Someone in the US can try this:

- You can install the latest version of my cdma to gsm patch here available to unlock the Testing menù to manage the radio

- You have to do a factory reset

- You have to enter in Testing menù dialing the code *#*#4636#*#*

- You have to select Phone info -> Set prefered network type -> GSM auto (PRL)

- In Phone Info you have to press the physical menu key on left of phone and then in "Select radio band" you can set "USA Band for GSM\UMTS"

I'm in EU and I can't test.
[Motorola Droid 4] lucize:
so I made the stupid mistake and selected that, now I have no signal (im-m in europe), in none of the roms

sbf ?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:

Has anyone tried the latest version of my rom fully rewritten for gsm in the US or my gsm patch in the US?

They could work.
[Motorola Droid 4] Sarrus25:
Dexter's Lab for the win.

I tried editing all of the Build.prop settings manually through ROM Toolbox Pro (on a rooted XT912), but no luck. Using a T-Mobile micro SIM card. Device would not pick up signal.
[Motorola Droid 4] misterwimbly:
Does not work to use GSM on xt894 in US.

in the testing menu the only option was for usa band.

I would love to get this working so any info you need or other steps to try?
[Motorola Droid 4] Mentor.37:
No other steps, this phone cannot be used on GSM in US.
[Motorola Droid 4] Sarrus25:
Mentor, what would one have to research / crack in order to make this happen? I love this phone and am interested in learning new skills in order to allow XT894 GSM usage.

Are you certain your ROM / patch combo would not work here? I am interested in trying them--

[Motorola Droid 4] doener:
The Droid 4 works without any trouble in the outside of the USA by using the GSM-Patch. But you cant use it in the USA because the US-Provider which use GSM in the USA are locked. So until now the Droid 4 works only with Verizon in the USA. But the rest of the world where GSM is used it Works.

Sorry we don't want to troll you. I use my Droid 4 in Germany with E-Plus without any trouble (after using the GSM-Patch).

Unlocking XT894 for USA

Waiting any testing for any new information. I believe we are stuck with problems of radio.img

How does the radio know what country the tower its talking to?

the radio img missing radio bands for usa channels?

is there any program to edit the radio img? or a way to extract it?

maybe the xt910 radio img can be taken apart and compaired to the xt912

once complete edit img to flash on xt894.

I believe once that is done I can flash for testing. Let me know. I always have lots of these waiting for testing.

thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] problematic:
I believe hashcode knows how to extract the radio because he made a twitter post about it awhile back but didn't post the method.

I have been wanting a method to get back on the stock radio from when the device was first released because I used to get much better LTE performance on it, and meant to ask him but let it slip my mind.

Either way I would still have to have a user on an old stock d4 extract theirs. The method of flashing radios is out there, I found the method on Google and flashed some trying to get back onto stock. Nothing worked.

Sorry to bump this older thread, but can the radio from the Atrix2 be flashed on the phone?

I would not risk it, who knows what could happen, maybe it has some safety checks and would not allow you.

without a radio you have a good wifi gadget :)
[Motorola Droid 4] Silentwidow:
True, I was wondering because I can get one for like $15 with a broken screen, I honestly wouldn't care if I broke it :D
[Motorola Droid 4] Gibson99:
if you mean a broken/cracked digitizer (not the lcd itself) then yes it's probably worth trying. but i doubt it'll work. doesn't the atrix have a completely different radio chipset?

Do we have any further information for unlocking US GSM bands on this phone? I played around with an xt926 a while ago and I know I was able to use DFS to unlock GSM. I know I've been doing alot of reading around this forum on the topic and it seems that was already tried. I read this : http://www.droid-life.com/2012/04/2...n-run-on-att-and-t-mobile-if-your-interested/ and wasn't able to find more information on it and the tread linked in it is purely for the bionic.

At this point, Verizon's official policy is "4G/LTE phones are not locked" - it seems we should be able to get them to update our radio firmware for free.

Has it been tested yet to see if Verizon will unlock the phone

Just checking to see if anyone has tried this becuz Im close to opening up a Verizon prepaided plan to use on the Droid 4 and then request for it to be unlocked, Im currently on the AT&T network.
[Motorola Droid 4] Puppymang:
you might be better off going with the photon q if keyboard is your main attraction to this phone but itll cost more than a droid 4 unless you can mod it yourself. i personally dont think verizon has any intentions to do anything for the droid 4 which has been discontinued for a while now. when i took it to the verizon store a few days ago the employees there looked at my phone like it was some ancient relic and couldn't believe me when i said it had 4g
[Motorola Droid 4] nt1_alex:
Yea I was looking into that but I babied this Droid 4 in hopes of it being carrier unlocked for the U.S. But thanks for the reply, I'm going to get a Photon Q becuz of the keyboard and see if I can do the mod myself.
[Motorola Droid 4] limited_imagination:
I played around with trying this on my Droid 4.

I used CDMA Workshop to read all the NV items on the D4, but they only go from 0 up to 8030 on the D4.

There is no NV item 8322 on a D4.

This guy addressed that issue here:
[Motorola Droid 4] scott201201:
If the droid 4 NV items stops at 8030 then the option you are looking for must be below 8030.

It maybe possible to compare the 2 phones NV items, find a changeable item that is near the

item on the working phone. Then compare the Droid 4 NV items in the same area that you

located the NV item that worked on the GSM enable phone.

Example.

working GSM phone NV item 8999

The program changes a cdma option near 8999 at 8997

Next load the droid 4 NV and look for the same CDMA option

it may change location NV 7997, then you look at 7999 to see

if the NV is 1, if so change it to 0 and test the GSM.

If the phone bricks, then just fastboot and flash stock rom with RSD lite.

Anyone that wants to work on the project and that can prove previous projects worked

on in XDA, I can provide free Droid 4's to anyone looking to help. Already with TWRP Recovery and Rooted.

The Droid 4 XT894 is still a very popular phone, finishing this GSM unlock can bring new life to

several people that has always wanted a keyboard phone. The overclock 1.3Ghz does work

and confirmed stable. Many people are having issues flashing ROMs to Stock memory instead they

are using ROM SLOTS. However, flashing an older GAPPS that is small and removing apps

that can be loaded after first boot allows everything to fit in the Stock memory, also increasing speed.

The phone is still fast with todays apps, and we would love to see someone finish the GSM unlocking.

Feel free to contact me by PM if anyone needs files that maybe expired on some links.

Would love to see the GSM unlocked in the USA.

with an unlocked boot loader it is possible to root de wildfire S, but I have not been able to install custom ROM. The main reason is that it is not possible to access keyareas in de operating system. So far I know without S-off you can only flash a new boot.img and a new system img.

It is best to unlock the bootloader and flash a pre-rooted system.img.

At least this way you can use Link2SD so that the 150Mb internal storage in no longer an issue and you have root access so al other fun rooted phone stuff is available to you. You just cannot flash custom roms unfotunately...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] corum3:
1st is to try another card in your phone, it sounds like a chip issue rather than a phone issue.

Use flashtool to flash the original firmware you can get both here, I would flash with 6.1.A.2.50.
