Verizon iphone 5 is GSM unlocked and can be used on at&t and T-mobile

Old Razr's and Razr Maxx's were GSM unlocked but only for international usage (were locked for at&t and T-mobile)

Not sure where our new Razr's fall!

^^^ Same here, put it in my AT&T Sim to check, no luck. This phone might be like the previous droids, just unlocked for international. I wonder how Verizon allowed to lock their android devices, but keep the iPhone 5 unlocked. Isn't the FCC requirement required them to have all there LTE phones unlocked?

What came up when you put the at&t sim in? Did it ask for an unlock code?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay A whY:
No unlock code prompt.. Just states that the AT&T SIM is invalid. The phone lets you load 2 AT&T APNs but nothing happens. Toggling the radio between global and GSM doesn't do anything. I have came to the conclusion Verizon locked down US GSM capabilities.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomkiley:
I guess it's only a matter of time before there are unlocks online.

It sounds like it does in fact have the GSM radio which means it's at least physically possible that it could work on other networks.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRF-Inferno:
The SIM slot is already unlocked, the reason it does not work on U.S. carriers is because Verizon blocked their MNC.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g33ked:
I wonder what the loophole that Verizon get to use to locked their android LTE phones from use of other us gsm carriers, well the ones that contain gsm radios. I know the recent spectrum deal required them to leave the sim slots unlocked, but was that only referring to the iPhones ? I know the 5 is unlocked and they can hard lock the phone from accessing us gsm carriers easily through a carrier update if they wanted to, example remember sprint iPhone 4S , all the phones released before nov 11 2011 where already gsm unlocked to work on any gsm carrier including us ones. Then they pushed a carrier update to lock the previous phones that were unlocked.

LTE in other Europe?

Hey,

I'd like to buy a Verizon DRHD Maxx to use on EE's LTE network in the UK (1800MHz), but also to use on Verizon when I'm stateside. From what I can gather, it has the physical radios for both 2G and 3G on GSM networks, and is hopefully SIM unlocked for international SIM cards like the original Droid Razr is.

However, on GSM arena, they have only listed 700MHz LTE support - do we know if it is capable of supporting other bands also please (in Europe we use 800/1800/2600)?

Thanks,

Suman
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big ach:
What does blocking the MNC mean?

So I guess its safe to assume its locked for US GSM carriers but would work with international GSM Sims?

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeshr:
These are the bands that the Droid RAZR MAXX HD (and RAZR HD) support (as taken from the Motorola site).

CDMA 800 1900, LTE B13, WCDMA 850 900 1900 2100, GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900 EVDO Rev. A, HSDPA 21.1 Mbps (Cat 14), HSUPA 5.76 Mbps.

Doesn't look like any bands other than 700 are supported.

BTW, are the specs for the RAZR HD the European spec? The Canadian one supports 700/1700/2100 Mhz.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sumanji:
Hey,

Ah that's a bummer :( could it be that the DRHD is the same hardware as the Canadian version, but they have disabled the 1700 and 2100 MHz band support?

I am unsure if the European or Global versions are pentaband - I'm just going by what GSMArena is saying at the moment (which could well be wrong).

I would really like to have a device that can support LTE on both sides of the pond though :(

Thanks,

Su
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gusbeto37:
I reaaaallly want to get a Razr MAXX HD, but unfortunately I live in Mexico where the main phone operator (Telcel) takes ages to release phones.

So I guess it's confirmed it does not work with ATT or T-Mobile, but is there any possibility anyone can test it with a GSM network outside the US to confirm that its only locked for the US?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRF-Inferno:
Verizon's loop hole is that while utilizing LTE Band 13 requires the SIM slot to be unlocked, there are no bindings for them to have to make the device usable on other U.S. carriers.

MNCs are identifier codes that allows for devices to pick up the right host for its network utilization.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code

MNC blocking is usually done at the radio firmware, in this case, it is likely Verizon has MNC 150 and/or 260 blocked. While the phone can most likely see the signal, it does not allow the end user (The Operating System and the End User) to be able to see nor select it.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koala72:
I emailed Verizon and they confirmed that it is GSM unlocked for overseas carriers.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sumanji:
Good to know! I don't suppose you can ask them about the LTE radio as well please? :p
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banesong:
Does this mean that I can place an overseas SIM in the phone with no contact with verizon? I asked one of the store managers and they had said that I had to be 6 months into contract for an unlock code.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jay A whY:
The phone is already pre-unlocked for international use per Verizon 2nd tier technical support department.. An unlock code is not needed.

I plan to use one in Japan and my provider uses only HSDPA and LTE. Not GSM. No matter if it is internationally GSM unlocked since there is no GSM provider in Japan. Does anyone know where can unlock it?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big ach:
GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS850 (B5), UMTS900 (B8), UMTS1900 (B2), UMTS2100 (B1)

These are the GSM/HSPA/HSDPA bands on the droid razr hd / droid razr maxx hd

I thought Japan uses the UMTS2100 frequency? Which is also the standard 3G frequency in Europe and the Middle East

According to this link http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html

Japan uses 1700/2100
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiltepin:
Japan uses UMTS which is the same thing as W-CDMA. The phone is GSM unlocked and I supposed that it is locked in the other frequencies.

I have got a phone today in India

But GSM SIM is Not working

its has GSM Option Inbuilt Like razr but i go a Message That Restricted Area

We havbe CDMA Netowrk in India as Well, So I think they have Blocked the Place where CDMA Network is Available

GSM will work only at places where CDMA Network is Not available abroad

So it Should work in Europe.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiltepin:
mmm it is weirf. I have it in Japan. In Japan we have cdma carriers as well and it is working on UMTS. Have you confirmed the frequency of your carrier and phone?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeshr:
This hypothesis could be easily tested if there is anyone in Canada using Verizon's version of the HD/MAXX HD. We also have a CDMA network in Canada!

Mine is Verizon's and it is working in Japan. Should be something else.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eMischief:
Same here too...tried activating my droid razr maxx hd with multiple GSM network carriers. I was lucky to get along a Verizon sim with my droid n noticed that it automaticly latched on to Reliance CDMA network however couldnt activate it on the CDMA too.

Once the Verizon sim is removed Area Restriction is activated n non of GSM sims nor outside CDMA networks work.

I was lucky enough to use wifi n have all my settings done. Its like a non network ph till a solution isnt found.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eMischief:
...just to update.

The guy in US who shipped me the phone inquired with Verizon techinal confirmed that the phone is ready for global use and unlocked but can only be used with a 4G LTE sim and any other GSM sim may not be suitable. Verizon does have roaming agreements with many indian networks but that would be on roaming charges n on verizon account.

So in india its unlikely we use this phone anytime soon till at least 4G sims are not avaliable.

YES , it works 2G, 3G in Saudi arabia thus International

i am happy to confirm to you that the RAZR MAXX HD is working 100% in Saudi arabia which has 2G/3G Networks thus it works internationally but cant be activated in the US other than Verizon Wireless . :p

when you first put in the Local Micro Sim Card the device shows that it cant be used with this phone since i did not activate it in the us so i ;) bypassed the activation Sceen by tapping on the 4 corners starting from the Upper Left down to lower left clockwise . then type your SIm Pin Number . the device pops up a message saying that the sim is from unknown Source , just hit OK and it s fully operational .

in order to get Data Plan Working you have to manually add the APN needed by the Provider .

i hope that i was of any help to you all . :)

Good luck and enjoy the great Razr Maxx HD :good:
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natteah:
That's such a great new:laugh:!! I have one question though, did you activate the phone with Verizon in US first before you left for Saudi Arabia or you just simply get the phone without contract nor activation and start using it in Saudi Arabia?

There is one source said that the phone needed to be activated with Verizon first in order to accept an international sim card.

Do you have any ideas about this statement?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiltepin:
You dont need to activate it first.

What do you use to edit the file
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
You should use Notepad+ or Notepad++; make sure to set EOL Conversion to Unix format. You cannot use any native Windows program such as Notepad or Wordpad.

Having said that, it's probably much easier to boot to recovery, go to Advanced options, and turn off signature verification. Then you can flash the file, then turn signature verification back on. This way, you won't have to edit any files.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rocketero:
is it possible to have just one or 2 ext partitions on the external SDcard to use with Android??

All I have researched is ppl crating a fat(32) primary at the beginning of sdcard and optional a second ext(234) partition. but I found out that the fat partition has many problems in the long run, files getting fragmented, bad sectors, etc, and I was getting a lot of problems like after opening ES file explorer the screen for the app went black and froze because it couldn't read from sdcard. I have /data mounted on the second ext4 partition of the same sdcard and that one has not any problems.

so this question probably have been asked somewhere else but I did a lot of Google-ING and also here and nothing in that direction yet.

I did try so far formatting the fat32 as ext4, and after booting ICS 4.0.4 doesn't see any SDcard. I have the mount-points switched so the external sdcard is now the internal and the other way around, so I can not see either one as the external that is the internal is now the external it should get mounted in a folder of the external. a bit hard to explain if someone hasn't done it yet.
