[Motorola Droid 3] tnactim:
SIM is unlocked. When I search for networks, it finds ATT 2G and 3G and Tmobile 2G but won't connect to any of them. I'm reading through the 48 pages of the other thread looking for info. I'm thinking of trying the XT883 stuff outlined on page 18
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
What is your build.prop? Can you post some screenshots?
[Motorola Droid 3] Skreelink:
You HAVE to use the XT883 radio and build.prop, the stock XT862 radio will not work on US GSM networks, Verizon had blocks put in the radio firmware to prevent it from being used on competing networks (such as AT&T). I use the D3 on Straight Talk with an AT&T compat sim, if you need help with the XT883 stuff, let me know.
[Motorola Droid 3] tnactim:
I first tried the build.prop from the guide, then the RWALEY v3 found here. What would you like screen shots of?

I'm working on downloading the files now. At 50k/sec it's gonna take a while
[Motorola Droid 3] Skreelink:
Also, is the SIM already activated? Else it will NOT be accepted onto the network (it'll show signal strength under 'status' but no bars) it only shows signal bars if registered on the network. Since it 'sees' AT&T and T-Mobile (when you scan networks) I do not think it's a phone/radio problem. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] tnactim:
Borrowed my wife's active SIM and everything works. Currently -81dBm. I hadn't activated mine yet because I didn't want to port my number and be without a phone if this didn't work
[Motorola Droid 3] Skreelink:
Awesome, so when you decide to activate your sim, it should work fine! Good to hear, also I suggest (if you followed the instructions for data) remove the 'proxy' field. It actually blocks a few apps and whatnot and try to keep data usage around 1~1.5GBs a month. Else you'll get throttled or possibly cut off. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] tnactim:
The APN I used for her (and now me) I actually had to piece together from three different ones I found. I don't know why net10 would change what they're telling people to use, but until I set it up like this, it wouldn't send or receive MMS. The current ATT APN on their website doesn't work at all for me. This is what I ended up with that works great

Name: net10

APN: wap.tracfone

Proxy: NA

Port :80

MMSC: mmsc.cingular.com (lead by http but new members can't post that)

MMS Proxy: 66.209.11.32

MMS Port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Authentication Type: PAP

APN Type: default,mms,supl
[Motorola Droid 3] Tron-X:
Would you recommend removing the proxy field for Straight Talk as well or is that only applicable to Net10?
[Motorola Droid 3] Skreelink:
I was actually going for Straight Talk with that already, I don't think Net10 has the proxy filled in their APN settings anyway. I use Straight Talk (and have had my rounds with them with a few things). Anyway, yeah, remove the proxy field from your ST APN. :)
[Motorola Droid 3] Tron-X:
What does that do for you when you remove the proxy field? And what issues have you had with ST? Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] Skreelink:
For one, without a proxy your usage is not routed through straight talks servers. Apps like speedtest will work (they don't with the proxy). I have been throttled a couple times by ST, my last for only using 900mbs, a couple times I found myself without service, unable to register on the network. Which lasted about three hours... their cs is nonexistant, script copying, etc. And they thank you for allowing them to help like they did some great deed for you when they accomplish nothing (basically tell you tough crap, read the tos harder) despite not actually breaking it. Just google up about it and read their long, broad, strict tos.

Motorola Droid 3 on Airvoice Wireless

this is what i did

Motorola Droid 3 unlock to use on Airvoice Wireless

1.	Download recovery just in case anything goes wrong http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1255198&page=23 (mirror link was working when I did it)

2.	Download usb drivers https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481

3.	Root using this http://vulnfactory.org/public/motofail_windows.zip

4.	Download fx file explorer (https://play.google.com/store/apps/..._result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5leHRhcHAuZngiXQ.. ) and then the root add-on ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ult#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5leHRhcHAuZngucnIiXQ.. )

5.	Flash radio (Phone must be in fastboot) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1406812 do step 1 and step 3 from this list. Step 1 and step 2 from the link didn’t work for me. I didn’t do step 3 from the link that says to unlock the phone. I did steps 5 and 6. I used step 4 on this list instead of suggested root explore on the step 7 from the link since fx is free.

6.	Open then dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*

7.	Click on Phone information

8.	Select GSM/CDMA auto (PRL)

9.	Go HOME

10.	Click SETTINGS

11.	Click WIRELESS & NETWORK SETTINGS

12.	clcikMOBILE NETWORK SETTINGS

13.	NETWORK MODE

14.	SELECT GSM/UMTS

15.	CREATE APN

I used an airvoice wireless sim card. Never asked me for the unlock code when I inserted the sim card. Don’t know why since the phone was not unlocked.

You can download safesrtap here http://199.91.152.181/6446694twytg/finyaob90lon7oy/Droid3Safestrap-2.00.apk

i'm only getting one or two bars on the signal bars but its working.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
IIRC change the build.prop line

Verizonglobalphone(or whatever it says exaxtly) from a 1 value to a zero to fix the signal bar issue
[Motorola Droid 3] decalman:
Thanks. I wish I knew how to do that. The first time I tried I pushed a fixed build.prop from a thread here and it caused the phone to show a com.android something error constanly and it didn't let me do anything. Luckly I found the thread on step 1 and it fixed the phone.

I did notice that flashing the new radio converted the phone from 862 to 883 and I think that's preventing me to install a custom rom. I tried flashing the latest aokp rom for the 862 but it will not do anything and I can't find an 883 custom rom. Any help on where to read to upgrade to android 4.2.2 would be much appreciated.
[Motorola Droid 3] klampflm:
so i flashed my droid 3 from Verizon and now I can finally use T-Mobile and AT&T.

Since I still want to stay on Verizon for 2 more months, until my contract is over, I wanted to switch back to CDMA, but now I cannot switch back anymore. Phone tells me that there is no CDMA available all of a sudden.

Please help!

Markus
[Motorola Droid 3] Skreelink:
You cannot use gsm and cdma simultaneously, you will have to reverse the process. Flash the stock 890 radio, then restore your backed up build.prop, finally call *228 option 1 to reprogram.

The xt883 radio expects a cdma ruim, which us cdma carriers do not use.
[Motorola Droid 3] klampflm:
Hey,

thank you for the info. I will try that and see if it works.
[Motorola Droid 3] decalman:

[Motorola Droid 3] Skreelink:
Good luck to you, if you require assistance with it, let me know.
[Motorola Droid 3] TKESuperDave:
I've gotten through step 6 but on step 7 where should I be looking in Root Explorer for the new build.prop file? The only one I can find is in the system folder already however I believe it is the old one.

I have a feeling that the file isn't being brought over in step 6 but I'm unsure where to look to confirm that.

P.S. Sorry for bumping an old thread but since I just signed up to ask this question it wouldn't let me post in the development thread which is more recent.
[Motorola Droid 3] TKESuperDave:
The file wasn't being downloaded. I'm not sure why. I attempted to do it using the ADB functionality but it wouldn't let me push it to the system earlier this morning. I figure out what was going on the build.prop was in read only mode. I used the Root Explorer app and made the file read and write on my Driod then was able to bring in the new build.prop from my computer using Drop Box (as I am at work and do not have the cord and software to do it normally) and replaced the old build.prop with the new build.prop.

After that I was able to complete step 8 and connect to the network. Unfortunately the connection does appear to be weak but that may be because of where I'm at. I was able to receive the Straight Talk text message so it should be working. I'll be back if there's any other issues.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
If youre trying to adb push to /system you need to remount system as read/write you can start and adb shell and run

Droid 3 Straight Talk help

I just unlocked my Droid3 from Verizon(using a code provided by Verizon). I then activated my SIM on Straight Talk. About 30 minutes later, my Verizon service was dead and I thought I was well on my way to being able to use my phone on straight talk (Wrong...) Followed the directions about turning the phone on and off trying to make calls. I also updated my APN settings and changed the network setting from Global to GSM/UMTS. My phone is showing no service and I cannot use it. I also get an error that is saying there are no GSM/UMTS and it wants me to switch back to Global (which I don't). I know next to nothing about code. Is anyone able to tell me what the problem is and explain/walk me thru how to change things to make my phone work on Straight Talk. I have an AT&T SIM? I really appreciate. Girl stuck with a not working phone...

[Motorola Droid 3] Skreelink:
Sounds like you don't have proper drivers or a cheap non-oem cord. ADB/Fastboot will always work. Try a different cord after a driver reinstall. Also ensure usb debugging is enabled.

Greetings and Peace all,

KarstenDroid3, Here's a really good video on it that may help: I can't post links because this is my first post, but search for [How-TO] Band Unlock Droid 3 (XT862), it's a video by S.D. Shadow.

I was having trouble using the psouza tools too, but Dan Rosenberg's trick for the Droid 4 worked here: Again, can't post links so just search for 'Dan Rosenberg Droid 4' in DuckDuckgo without quotes. It should be the first one and say 'Security Research by Dan Rosenberg'

If anyone can post the links, please do.

See if that helps.

Hi, I've not found anything that relates to my problem so I'm hoping I can get some clarification here.

I seem to have got stuck in Multiquote mode. I think I pressed it one day and now everything I do will add to the same post, ie. it gets multiquoted.

The way I understood it, if you press 'Multiquote' then it will ... uhm ... multiquote. If you press 'Reply' it won't.

Currently it doesn't matter if I press reply it still gets added to the same post. So the question is, is this a toggle and if so how do I turn it off and more importantly, if it's a toggle is there any indication which mode I am currently in?

I know that I can search the forum and find the way to overclock my phone ... but since I want to be 101% sure ... I will ask here ... if it's not a problem

So I have GingerDX v029, stock, bootloader LOCKED

I want to overclock my phone a little bit ... just so I don't have those annoying freezes and lag ...

So do I need to unlock my bootloader to overclock my phone and what is the easiest and safest way to make it faster (overclock it)

Red line is kinda what I need
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sgt. meow:
1. No you don't need an unlocked bootloader

2. The easiest way is to use SetCPU or find the overclocking sub-menu on cyanogenmod settings. It'll work only if the x8oc.ko (or some similar overclocking module for the X8) is installed.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifo171:

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fifo171:
First you have to install OC module. (AFAIK it isn't included in GingerDX and it's addons).

Then you should be able to set frequencies to higher values.
