whats the difference between white H+ and blue h+?

Just got my razr m turned on to net10(at&t) and I get h and h+. Took me 45m to convince the guy at the phone shop here in sc that this phone would work on tmobile and at&t. After words I have had h+ sense I left the store no problems and all right speeds for my area 4mb DL and 2mb upload. I do have one question . Sometimes my H+ and signal are blue but other times its white. I am not sure what it means but my speeds are faster when its blue.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N!TRO:
If its anything like CM10 JB on my DEFY this simply means when blue you are synced with Google services when white or in my case light grey you are not synced :D I read this some time ago in these forums DEFY section.

While we have made no progress on a flashable zip file method of doing the NV edit, I have tested and confirmed with P3 Droid and myself that this edit can be performed using RadioComm with Factory boot mode selected from the boot menu.

The primary advantage of using RadioComm instead of DFS or other Qualcomm based NV access tool is that the drivers do not require forced loading on Win7 64 because the QC device interfaces are not loaded in Factory mode and the normal Motorola USB Networking driver is all that is needed to access the device and perform the edit. RadioComm also has a better UI for NV reading and writing and the port selection is not required. It is a very intimidating piece of software in it's own right and any of these programs are very dangerous to use given that you can easily break your phone with any of them if you write the wrong things to the NVM.

I have been using RadioComm for years and am the one largely responsible for it's use for various purposes becoming popular on the web, so I am very comfortable with it and it is the premier tool used by Motorola engineers for their needs.

I will writeup the RadioComm method after I have gotten some more confirmation from other testers that it works for them.

I have confirmed it's working for me under Win7 64 and WinXP 32.

Edit: Better yet, I have made it into an NVM table file that RadioComm NV/SEEM feature can write in a single preconfigured operation that many users may find easier than manually editing the NV items.

This is good news for other reasons as well. I had been having a hard time using this feature in RadioComm because the latest version available does not directly support the MSM8960 chipset and I could not effectively run the large table files we have for dumping the full NVM. I am running a full dump now and it has completed approx. 20% of the read operations in about 15 minutes.

This is opposed to about that many after reading for hours with other methods. RadioComm also has access to some items that cant be read with QC software because it suspends the device before reading the table. This mode is not supported by QC test commands.

Very excited now! :D

Been following this thread for a while. Nice job getting it working. Seriously thinking about picking up a razr m now. Can anyone successfully using razr m on tmobile tell me whether they can use tmobile's call over wifi service? I'm guessing not.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aslomagic:
I never tried, to be honest, I didn't even know about this feature, but I could definitely use it! My guess is that it requires some special software from T-Mobile, which of course is not available in the Verizon firmware. Do you know which software it is, and if maybe is it available on Google play? I'll try it if so.

anyone here in Australia or anywhere outside the US using the XT905?

I'm in Australia trying to get the LTE to work and it's driving me NUTS. Downloading the NON-HLOS with aussie radio in OP hoping for the best..

Thanks guys, really appreciate it
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcons:
Haha! If u got it in Australia then lte / 4G will work on Telstra's and optus network. Don't forget the networks (4G) r in their infancy and have very small coverage areas.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lewstherin:
No luck trying to use this in my country (India)

By default, the phone (XT907 - A gift) was not able to connect to any of the GSM networks here - I tried with multiple sim cards across different networks. I went through this entire thread and tried the NV edit (01 to 00) and it did not work. The phone is still unable to connect to any of the networks. I have set it back to 00. I hope this has the same effect as flashing it back to stock.

I am very new to all this (though I have a good bit of experience developing stuff) and have spent a bit of time going through the various threads here. So as I see it, these are my options:

1. NV edit - Does not work.

2. Flashing Aussie NonHOLOS.BIN - Seems like it is worth a try but I don't know how to do this. Can someone tell me how to do this?

3. CellZealot's RadioComm Method - Waiting for instructions on this.

4. Flashing CM10

5. Flashing Stock Android 4.1.2

4 & 5 are not something I am really eager to dolist, mainly because I like some of the improvements on stock that have been done by Moto (the quick settings screen, the camera app etc.) - but a working phone is obviously better. Also, I have a locked bootloader - so I am not sure if that will impact my ability to flash new ROMs.

So does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do?

**Edit: Found the instructions for aussie radio in the beginning of this thread. Will try that after seeing what cellzealot has to say later tonight.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
Sorry, been extremely busy at work but I will post it tonight. I have all the screenshots done, I just need to do the actual writeup.

If the original method did not work then the RadioComm method won't either, though.

Have to head into work right now but I have a few ideas about this that may shed some light.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lewstherin:
Thanks

I found the instructions for flashing the aussie radio, but the dropbox link is down (getting a 404). I think I have a copy downloaded on my windows comp, but I am not sure. Kindda bummed that the RadioComm method won't work. Anyway, I will wait until your post is out.

I will post here in the morning regarding the modem options and my understanding of the issue with Indian GSM carriers.

I can reupload the Telstra AU modem and the other options are all of the RAZR HD and Atrix HD modems are also compatible with the M and can be found in the XML.zips for those models and safely flashed in fastboot.

It looks like the Aussie Radio isn't going to work

Sorry was tied up at work and couldn't respond until now.

Thanks for the very detailed post on the RadioComm method. I can now see why it wouldn't work for me.

According to abs0lut3z33r0, the aussie radio method doesn't work either. If you recommend it, I will give it a go nevertheless. I doubt the other modems will work, because they must also be locked to Verizon.

Beginning to lose hope that anything besides a new ROM is going work :( Here's to hoping you have a silver bullet tucked in there somewhere ;)

Just flashed Aussie Radio NON-HLOS.bin and it did not work.

As the original dropbox link for the radio is 404ing, I have uploaded it at h t t p : / / d-hDOTst/FpQ

As I am unable to post on that thread, @pjcons - do you think I will be able to use the firmware on a locked (retail) XT-907?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
If you haven't yet, try flashing the AU fsg.mbn with the NON-HLOS.bin and also erasing modemst1 and modemst2 and see if you get different results.

Do NOT flash the full firmware because it has other partitions(gpt_main0.bin) that maybe incompatible or prevent flashing back to the stock VZW version afterward.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lewstherin:
No luck

Could not get find a good fsg.mbn from cursory searching. Downloaded the Aussie Telstra firmware (from the firmwares thread mentioned by pjcons) and got the fsg files from there. Uploaded it to http : / /d-h.st/nuC

Flashed this and also erased modemst1 and modemst2. Now, when I do a network search, a list of 2g only networks popup. Before the NV edit, a list of 2g and 3g networks used to popup but after that (reset now), available networks was showing nothing. Now it shows a list of 2g networks only. But I am still unable to connect to any of them.

I noticed that the firmware contains an fsg_config file under the folder ota. Could this come into play? Is there a way to flash this?

Thanks for your help.

ps: Thinking of trying an NV edit on this radio. Fingers crossed.

The working of GSM has something to do with Verizon activation . According to verizon it's locked to global roaming on Verizon . To have an unlock you need to meet their requirements . I will post that later.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lewstherin:
It doesn't seem to be making much sense

I flashed the Eclipse ROM and if there was some verizon app doing this, the problem should've disappeared. However, the very first time I had booted the phone, it worked (without data - APN's don't get loaded like they do on working phones) until I connected to the internet with my wifi. My phone stopped working after that.

It's not not the frequencies either because India uses 900/1800 + 3G@2100. These are the same frequencies as Europe (atleast gsm), where Voice works out of the box. Also, why lock only for India???
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abs0lut3z33r0:
are you able to use GSM on eclipse rom?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lewstherin:
No, atleast not with

No, atleast not with the AU modem and fsg. I doubt flashing the original modem will make any difference, but it is perhaps worth the try. The point I was trying to make was that if a verizon rom is the problem, changing it to eclipse should've solved it.

I vaguely remember reading some guy tell that it worked with CM10. Also, I realise that I've unwittingly hijacked this thread. I will post further progress on the indian GSM thread. After all the T-Mobile/AT&T problem has been solved.

2G reception

I'm not sure that this is right thread, but I have very weird problem with my XT907. I'm living in Israel, bought the phone from eBay, it is on stock ROM and rooted. It is working well with SIM from my provider (Orange) except of one thing - it refuses to work in 2G or GSM only mode. When the reception is bad enough and the phone trying to switch to 2G network the red triangle with white cross appear meaning "Emergency calls only". The same happens when I'm trying to switch it manually to "GSM only". Recently I've travelled to Turkey, India and Nepal and the same issue has happen everywhere - when reception was bad enough to switch to 2G the phone showed "Emergency calls only" sign. One more detail - it is impossible to make emergency calls from 2G "GSM only" mode, while in 3G mode and without SIM card these calls are going through.

I know it looks very strange (at least to me) and will appreciate any advise regarding this.

Quick question I hope someone can answer.

Does 3G and H+ only work on T-Mobile in refarmed areas? My area is not refarmed and I only get E on AT&T phones, only getting E on this the RAZR M as well.

Just curious if I need to apply the build.prop tweaks that were mentioned a few pages back in order to get 3G/H+ on TMO.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vLegend:
With all this hacking going on would it be possible to change the lte band on the RAZR M to a different frequency either through a hack with the stock radio or to flash the radio from the RAZR HD which my provider currently offers? I currently get H+ just fine but lte would be sweet.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phantomsniper773:
Yeah, from what I can tell it only works in the refarmed areas, since it seems like the Razr M doesn't support the AWS bands (1700 & 2100 MHz).

On a side-note, I have been considering getting this phone, but I wanted to know if anyone has had any problems with GSM signal after performing the band unlock. I ask because I'm currently using a Droid 2 Global with the band hack, and while 2G works well, 3G has some major stability problems, which obviously I would like to avoid in a new phone. So yeah, anyone having any problems?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloosecannon:
Not unless the hardware to do it is there. You don't want to transmit out-of-band on a phone, trust me. Violates FCC regs (tx on unauthorized band) and probably going to fry your RF board, thus rendering any and all cell service gone

4.1.1 -> 4.1.2 OTA with Aussie modem fw

Hi,

A quick question. I have an unrooted Verizon Razr M running 4.1.1 + Aussie modem fw on t-mobile. Is it safe to OTA it to 4.1.2 (98.15.66.en.US) (added): Is the upgrade going to revert modem fw back to it's default vz version?

Long story:

The phone was running fine until I tapped "System update" couple days ago and now it keeps nagging me with the new OTA that Verizon released a while back. I'm more interested in stopping the nagging than in upgrading.

KHow do you verify either ? Thanks ! I know it's rooted. I haven't verified the other two. If it wasnt unlocked for domestic gsm would it still recognize the number assigned to my tmobile sim? The seller seemed very knowledgable about all of it. He told me specifics of how he did the root unlocked bootloader and radio edit and even provided links back to the threads here and told me he tried the two methods for the radio edit last one using radiocomm. He said running stock with the radio edit would be the safest way but that there are other roms that may be more flexible with dual booting gsm and Verizon sim.
