Ok first let me say thanks. This is a push in the right direction I was able to get voice and text working. Razr M XT907

Followed the steps laid out but after changing setting to nv_only "done" was still grayed out when phone rebooted.

Booted phone back into bptools and using dfs checked setting sure enough nv_only had taken. So I manually pushed the min/mdn, cdma system id

after restarting the phone and going back to the user activation screen the fields were populated and the "done" button was available so I was able to write the settings to the phone.

After phone reboots settings have taken but the strange thing is when I try to activate the phone I get an Alltel activation that fails.

Not sure what is happening here but phone appears to be on Alltel network instead of Verizon as expected.

I booted back into bptools and manually loaded a new pageplus prl. Reboot the phone prl it is set to new one.

Then the phone dials out *28899 trying to activate on verizon but it also fails. Tried dialing *22800 to activate but the screen comes up

with " A Verizon Wireless SIM card has activated your service and updated your phone's roaming capabilities".

Doing a quick check of my setting and my cdma system id and prl have been changed. cmda 1015, prl 52952.

So it would seem that after the *28899 tried to activate it changed my settings.

Anyway to make a long story short voice and text work but cant get 3G to work, and apparently the phone is not activated

and the *28899 is dialing at random trying to activate. I have gone and changed my cdma back 443 and that seems to keep the

*28899 from coming up as often that could be my imagination.

Sorry if this rambles first time flashing a phone if anything needs clarification let me know I will try to explain better.

Are you running Android 4.0.4? Is there a full system image for XT907 with Android 4.0.x because my phone came with 4.1.1 installed and I want to downgrade.

As for 4.1.1, I believe that the "Find Preferred CDMA subscription" is now under com.android.providers.settings -> settings.db -> secure -> subscription_mode (see https://github.com/android/platform...ster/core/java/android/provider/Settings.java and search for subscription_mode). The issue however is that that value gets reset back to 0 after a restart, but I cannot find where that happens. I am guessing one of the init files or build.prop maybe.

Yes I'm on 4.0.4 There is a thread under the development section but I could not get that download to work but the post was helpful b/c there are a couple of lines that have to be removed from the xml to get it to work right.

Wait what 3G how did you get that
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wojei:
At first I set the phone to NV only mode, then followed one of the many guides online for Droird Razr flashing to page plus using CDMA workshop. After setting all the values in CDMA and EDVO, I had calls, texts and 2g data. Then, I put in a blank Verizon 4g sim and called *228, and clicked 1 to program. Once it was done, i restarted the phone and 3g started working.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neelhow:
I will be trying this today and just to clarify you dialed *228 and not the *22800
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wojei:
Yes, I dialed *228.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neelhow:
So at this point i have 3G but it doesn't seem very stable. I have a droid bionic in the same location with 4 bars of signal but mine is in a constant loop of 3-2-1 then sometimes drops back to 1x. That brings me to my next issue when I put my sim card in it is still trying to dial out to

*22899 which says please wait while your phone is being programmed but the call ends at around 1 minute every time. It will dial out every few minutes and somtimes back to back. This is when my cdma number and prl get changed after that no 3G and phone will still dial the *22899. Is my sim card faulty or something it was new when I started and has done this since my first try. I can turn off phone reset cdma number and prl take out the sim card and 3G signal return but like before its just not stable.

I may just try a new sim card.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkarps:
So using the above is talk text and data all working on page plus?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neelhow:
The short answer yes but I still don't have a stable 3G connection. Almost anytime I try use the 3G it drops for example if I open speedtest to test my speed when it starts looking for the closest server it drops 3G. If I leave speedtest open and wait for the 3G to reconnect I can get it to test the speed but it is very slow ping time always above 1000, down 125-150kbps, up 150-190kbps. I'm waiting on my new sim card to see if that makes a difference.

These are a couple of forums I have read through to get my data working not sure what everybody else has been reading. If anyone has another suggestion I would like to know about it.

Hi,

I cannot connect to my Droid Razr M in CDMA workshop.

My laptop doesn't even have ports under device manager. The Razr M is listed as XT907 under "Portable Devices". I tried to use HW Virtual Serial Port to create a com port and CDMA WS was able to connect to the port but it couldn't find any device in DM mode.:confused:

Anyone has similar problem? Any workarounds (rather than using CDMA WS/DFS) to change the R-UIM config to nv-only?

Thanks.

RAZR M, Jelly Bean 4.1.1, and Page Plus Activation...

Hi,

I too have a Droid RAZR M with Jelly Bean 4.1.1. I do NOT want to roll back to ICS. I'm having the same issues with getting the NV_Only to stick. Upon reboot, it keeps reverting back to R-UIM Only. This is a gift for my wife and I really want to keep it at Jelly Bean. I have CDMA Workshop version 3.9.0 to get into the phone. I also have the same problem as the original poster has (JUSMEJOSE, post #1). Now I'm also at the point where the 23rd poster is (NEELHOW, post #23), where the phone keeps trying to dial out to *22899 and after a couple of rings, the phone hangs up and does it again 10 seconds later. The only way to stop it is to put the phone in airplane mode. I'm at a standstill right now...

There must be an solution for this somewhere. Any advice sure would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

As far as GBS97's issue, you need to go to Motorola's website and download the latest driver pack to be able to see the phone as a COM port in Windows...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gbs97:
Are you referring to any specific driver pack?

I have the lasted Motorola Device Manager installed. When I connected the razr M to the laptop in non-bp tools mode, it's being correctly recognized as XT907 under portable device in Device Manager. However, if I connect it in bp tools mode, then windows 7 has problems with its drivers.

Also, there is no ports under device manager. Maybe command ports are not supported/disabled in my thinkpad t410i?

Thanks for help.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Germanese:
As i said i have nothing against it. Just I don't see this as much profit for users like me.

I did have to dig around why exact reason of the request money portion. It's the Software that costs $100+ that is required (If i am not mistaken)

In my case this is not 100% Viable since it will not be 100% success more like trial and error for users that using the phone on GSM network so spending for 0% is a bit different. But i am willing to donate to good causes if it brings us further =)

Because we are still testing our devices to get the Radio Lined up to the correct frequency and or even turned on at all in GSM mode.

Hence I am pointing that to someone who can afford testing it on a GSM Network to ask you.

Seems like a 100% success rate for PP users and other CDMA users.

So it seems workable for Razr M Users.

You must remember there are 4 Types of users for this phone.

Stock Verizon Users(CDMA),

Stock Telstra Users(GSM)

Reflashed to any CDMA Network Users(CDMA)

Reflashed to US-GSM or Stock Verizon using international GSM(GSM)

and the Unlocked Boot-loader Version Users

Each one has its hurdles for us to get over.

I know things cost money, so does my server that I am hosting some files with.

I think a donation style system would be more suitable for recouping the funds. Just trying to help out ... =)

I think what amrit50 is refering to is what they accomplished on this Boost Mobile post here with the Epic.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=891077

Same should be achievable with a PP donor. Anyone that knows what they're doing care to adapt this to the Razr M and post up a tutorial? I may try slogging through it myself with an M I have on hand but I'm a relative noob.

I also think that this can be done with a combination of tools not just the paid CDMA WS. That one plus DFS and other software may cover it given the free versions of each have different functionalities enabled.

I'm assuming that since this Boost swap has been up on xda since 2010 we can work with it here to get the new Razr models up on PP with stable(ish) 3g and MMS.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amrit50:
The boost method does not work. You can reuse the same doner over and over, where as for Boost, you have to use a new one every time. The only reason you need a doner here is to get the 3g keys for a phone that will not program itself.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neelhow:
When we talk about a doner phone are we talking about one that is currently activated on verizon. If so I can get one next week and check it out.

As a side note has anyone ran the jellybean update since getting the phone to work on page plus. Just curious to know if it will work after update.

The update ruins the flash, b/c you can not lock the setting to nv only.

I'm really confused so I hope someone can explain this to me.

I have an HTC Incredible and to activate it on PagePlus was as easy as a phone call and giving them an ESN.

I'm going to change out phones and put a Motorola Razr Maxx on Pageplus. I know its a 4g phone and has a sim card, but why would I have to flash and mess with the phone to get it on Pageplus?

I have updated to Jellybean so I forsee this taking forever to do.

Verizon changed the way LTE phones activate. They use the sim card to activate the phone, so *228, *22890 doesn't work anymore. Since page plus does not support LTE phones, all Verizon LTE phones have to be flashed to work on page plus.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wojei:
It should be in secure. I think it is called subscription_mode if I remember correctly and you will need to change the value from 0 to 1. This is only true for Android 4.0. In 4.1+ this value is moved to the primary user's settings.db in /data/user/0/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db.secure

i'll give that a shot. thanks

---------- Post added at 09:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 PM ----------

i did as you said, but the subscription mode keeps reverting back to 0. Am i doing something wrong? its on ICS not JB.

I use root explorer, make sure its r/w not r/o

copy the file and paste in same folder

use SQlite to edit subscription_mode from 0 to 1

save and go back to root explorer

delete the original settings

rename the copy to what the orinal one was

reboot and use CDMAWS.

nothing sticks and when i go back into SQlite to look at the file the mode is back to 0

------------------------------------

so i noticed the phone is on 4.1 and i did it again as per your 4.1+ instructions. but still reverting.

What i did find interesting is regardless of where i make a copy/paste of settings.db it will show up in the other folder. I.E if i do the copy/paste in the data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases it will show up in the data/0/user/ side, and vice versa

I just did a full reboot, and went back in through SQLite and checked it shows subscription_mode - 0 but if i use root explorer to make a copy of settings.db and go into SQLite to look at the copy version, it says subscription mode - 1

i'm doing a bit more fidgeting and i think somehow everytime the phone turns on, it double checks inside settings.db and make sures that the value is 0. Because what i ended up doing was renamed the one that was holding the value at 1 to settings.db and made the one that didn't hold to value to settings1.db. After that i toggled airplane mode and the value switched back to 0 right away. Phone is on 4.1.1 if it makes a difference.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wojei:

Hey, I'm a bit of a noob to all this but I have been trying to flash my Razr M to use with pageplus for about 12 hours. I have read through this forum as well as several others and I seem to be stuck at the part where I use the CDMA program. The problem is that I can't find the COM port for the phone in diag mode after booting with BP tools. The phone is running 4.0.4 ICS and I do have the drivers/device manager installed. The only thing is my PC (Win 7 - 64bit) says that my drivers aren't installed correctly when I boot with BP tools, otherwise when its not booted with BP tools it connects fine and the device manager pops up. I have tried looking for solutions to this problem over a vast number of threads and webpages, to no avail. If anyone could could help me out and tell me how I might proceed in finding the COM port when connected to my PC that would be great.

Much thanks

As a thought, after writing the value in settings.db try changing the file prop to read only (r/o) and see if that might help retaining its value during bootup.
