to verify the gsm edit you would have to load up radiocom and see if it says 0, if it says one then its locked. as for the bootloader hold down when it boots and it will boot to fastboot and will tell you if its locked

Radiocomm is a program downloaded to my computer correct? Sorry really new to radio edits but not so much with rooting etc. I'll verify the boot loader now. Hold down the volume while it boots ?

With the recent system update of the Motorola Razr M phone to Version 98.15.66.XT907.Verizon.en.US, the phone is again locked to Verizon and thus dead for GSM networks in US. Is there a solution to get it to work with Tmobile/AT&T again? Will the fix describe in this email work again? Just checking if someone has already tried it? Or if there is another way, could you please share it?

Thanks in advance!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Mine updated to 98.18.78, so what you have isn't the newest. Be aware that if you do want to update to 98.18.78, I'd recommend unlocking your bootloader first.

Anyway, yes, it's possible to unlock again. Same method. I couldn't get this method to work, I had to use the Radiocomm method, but it worked.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motoa:
I have already upgraded :( and it is 98.18.78 indeed. Earlier I had tried the instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=37150050&postcount=179 and my phone worked with Tmobile for a few months until this new update came. Will this work again? If not, are there instructions somewhere to unlock the bootloader?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
If your bootloader was locked, it's now permanently locked until a new exploit is found because the 98.18.78 update closed the hole in the bootloader.

If you were able to unlock with that method, I think you should still be able to. Phone doesn't have to be rooted to unlock, I don't think.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pbanj:
unlocking it for tmobile and att has nothing to do with the bootloader. just do this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2166542 the maker of that tut has already done it on the newest update so it still works. you can also try the way you did it the first time. each time the baseband gets flashed you need to redo this unlock.

Recognizing the phone

I've used Radiocomm & the DFS tool and STILL cannot get it to work. Is there a newbie guide to one that actually works? I have RSD lite installed (windows 7 ultimate 64 bit). DFS WILL NOT recognize I've got anything plugged in...

Radiocomm gives me the green light when I do the self checks but I still get the error about sim from unknown source. I've done it correctly about 4 times and still can't use my sim.

I will PAY someone to get this working for me... seriously this has become the biggest headache ever lol

Edit: Anyone in the Las Vegas Area wanna grab a few brews and help? lol

Edit: Just to make sure I'm doing this right...

Using an XT907 (Razor M)

*DL Drivers from motorola website

*Start up in BP tools, USB Debugging, Connect as media device.

*Follow instructions above

I have done EVERYTHING I can think of and it still acts like there isn't any phone connected...

Note: I am using a charger from another android phone... does the cable HAVE to be the one that comes with the phone? It can't be a standard USB cable?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
It's recommended to use a Motorola MicroUSB cable and not all cables are the same, unfortunately.

I have used many different cables including HTC and Samsung and all have worked fine, but if you are having this sort of issue it is best to remove variables.

Also make sure you are using the latest set of Motorola USB drivers version 6.2 as they added in the Qualcomm device interfaces in the standard signed driver set for 64 and 32 bit.

They should load properly without needing to be forced.

Edit: Here is a link to a .nvf file that can be imported into DFS NV tab and then written to edit 8322 to 00.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
Yes, that should always load the latest drivers.

When you connect the phone does it try to load the drivers at all?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drax979:
It tires to load the windows drivers but other then that device manager just says hi.

I just tried to reload and use a new plug now the device manager wont even pop up lol
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
Reboot PC and phone and try again.

You have to be able to get the drivers loaded and the PC seeing all of the QC Diagnostic devices in BP Tools mode.

Look in Windows device manager not the Motorola Device Manager that is in your task bar.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drax979:

Well I got the device manager loading correctly so I'll try to do radio comm like 10-15 times see If it will work for me. I'm not sure why the DFS doesn't recognize my phone being plugged in but I get all greens on the RC.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drax979:
Holy hell!!!! Try after try & try again I finally got it to stick!!!!! for anyone unlocking the XT907 I suggest a few things...

1. If not using the standard Motorola cables try switching between cables.

2. Try switching between sim card in & out

3. Reset the phone by hand (not the reset button) I'm not sure if this makes a difference but his was the changing factor that actually got my 00 value to stick.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
Congratulations! There really are a lot of variables with this and it's very difficult to troubleshoot so you really need to be able to think through it yourself.

There are many ways to accomplish the NV edit and which one will work best for any given user is up to them.

Glad you figured it out.

I mostly lost faith after I thought I wasted $30 on a family talk micro sim from walmart lol

between all the hassle of loading the drivers, using a program I've not only never used before but am also new to the whole "unlocking phones" it was a bit of a headache but hell at least I got my phone working lol

Just a random thought... I'm not 100% sure but I think manual resetting by shutting the phone down was what made the nv edit stick.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motoa:
Help!

Hi,

I am pretty new to this unlocking thing too. Could you please describe/point me to the steps you followed to make this happen? I am using Windows 8 and my Device Manager was not detecting the phone last time I tried. I will try to switch cables. It will be good if you can point me to the steps that would make the bit stick? ( I am assuming you did this after the recent verizon update, right?)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drax979:
Yes, for windows 8 (I'm on 7 ultimate 54 bit) I think Its the same. The drivers have to be loaded using the Device Manager ( https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481 )

Once you get that to stick RESTART your PC. :)

Load up RC and follow the directions ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2166542 )

Tips:

*Make sure you HIGHLIGHT the 01 and TYPE 00 don't back space

*Try with & with out the sim in

*Reset phone by holding power button not reset button on RC (not sure if this makes a difference but its what caused my phone to unlock)

*Always check MEID/ESN/pESN for a green light

*In the first "read" in the instructions you will see a bold "1" don't use 01 just 1 when it instructs you too.

*Try try & try again it may not work your first, 2nd, 3rd, 4th try lol but if you follow the instructions and have everything done right it will work.

GL man let me know if you have any other questions!

It doesn't have a name because it is in the Motorola factory NVM area.

You won't necessarily find a similar boolean switch item in the Samsung NVM.

They may control this function in a completely different way in their radio firmware.

Hello people. I have a question. I have the regular edition droid RAZR m. In the US. By following another thread I was able to unlock the phone's GSM capabilities and I'm now running my Verizon RAZR m on red pocket, which is an ATT mvno. Red pocket has 4g capabilities because I had LTE on another phone with them. My question is. I'm only getting h+ with my RAZR and I'm wondering if there is a way to enable LTE for gsm on this phone. Also it won't let me use call forwarding features like for visual voicemail apps. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 PM ----------

You can just ignore the invalid Sim message. That is just the default carrier warning. Kind of similar to the unlocked bootloader warning. Purely cosmetic. My RAZR m says t every time I boot it now that it's gsm unlocked. You can get rid of the warning by removing one of the odexed system apps if you're rooted. I just can't remember which it is.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonhart6505:
Sorry, no lte connectivity. HSPA+ is as far as youll get. Btw, could you post your apn for RP? I helped a customer out unlocking his Razr M with my method but he isnt getting data using the apn from the website. Thx
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
The apk and odex files to disable the Unknown SIM warning are VzwPhoneService.apk and .odex.

I haven't run any custom ROMs on the M so I am not certain what the problems might be with 4.4 versions, but I can talk to dhacker and see if he is aware of any specific issues and/or fixes for GSM service. This hack unlocks the radio itself and has nothing to do with the ROM, but the ROM has to support the radio properly for services to function, obviously. The apns_config.xml is a typical problem that needs editing but there are other RIL libs and binaries that need to be there as well as build.prop configurations that also need to be set for everything to work.

None of that can work at all until the radio is unlocked in the NVM first though.

How about to enable the "WCDMA preferred" mode? I can only get "GSM auto (PRL)", "WCDMA only" and "GSM only" modes. Trying to select WCDMA preferred just reverts to GSM auto. GSM auto is horrid because the phone will almost never leave 2G once it's on it.

bad reception

Long time troller/first time poster and thank you to many of the developers on this site for many things I have used and especially cellzealot for the NV hack for the RAZR M to use ATT. I saw this thread was still relatively active so I thought I would post here.

I was able to successfully use radiocomm and I can get att service with an h+ symbol. But reception is horrible and frequently drops service completely. Is there a tutorial somewhere regarding apns_config.xml changes/ RIL libs/binaries/build.prop configurations? I like using my unlimited ATT data plan for cheap! also if someone would like to take this opportunity to inform me how I can be of service to this community- I'm no hacker, but have successfully performed many mods described on this forum- I would gladly contribute.

I am on xt907, android version 4.1.2, system version 98.18.78.xt907.verizon.en.us, kernel version 3.0.31, build number 9.8.1q-78

Only mod is unlocked the radio in NVM.

Fixed!- I input *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer and chose GSM auto and this seemed to help. I had previously tried to change this in the mobile network settings (because i didn't know about *#*#4636#*#*) but that was not as effective.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
The results for both myself and P3Droid have been extremely variable and that is why we haven't posted further yet.

We don't recommend doing this yet. Neither of us can get HSPA service on ATT SIMs so we aren't sure what's going on and are trying to learn more.

If you aren't familiar with the tools and methods for doing this, I strongly suggest waiting until more information develops.

This is generally safe and revertable and works at least partially under the new 98.12.4 JB OTA, but it is not well understood yet and should only be done by experienced users who can manage flashing back and forth and/or troubleshooting issues themselves.

Poo...

I don't know if you have one to test or not, but what's been your experience with T-Mobile SIMs?

Guess I better hold off on the search for a bit.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
I have both ATT and T-Mobile prepaid SIMs. I used the T-Mobile SIM first and it worked fine but is limited to EDGE data due to their use of AWS bands for HSPA.

I had to cut my ATT SIM to microSIM size and didn't have time to test it until last night. I get GPRS only service in my area using the ATT SIM on M but get HSPA on my Bionic and other compatible devices.

After taking a look at the NVM last night it appears to be correctly configured for full GSM/HSPA service and band configuration, so we don't yet understand what's going on. The NVM for the MSM8960 chip set is significantly different than prior MDM6600 devices and there is a lot of new and expanded areas to explore and parse.

Wish I had more time and better information.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freak4dell:
Hmm...well, if T-Mobile works, that's good enough for me, since that's who I'm with. My area is being refarmed, so I shouldn't have to worry about being stuck on EDGE for too much longer.

I'm sure you guys will get it figured out. We definitely appreciate your hard work.
