[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lallafa:
cellzealot- First of all, thank you for this tutorial. I am unfamiliar with unlocking, rooting or modifying phones, and you have made an extremely complicated process very straightforward, even for us novices.

Unfortunately, I have come across an issue that at least one other user in this forum has encountered-- I am getting the popup "Network Error: No GSM/UMTS networks were found. Would you like to switch to the Global mode?" (In addition to the SIM card is from an unrecognized source, which is fine if it does not affect the service, as you say). I used the hack successfully, followed all of your instructions step-by-step and even used both methods (the first manual process and the NV/SEEM process, both with SIM card in the device, and out of the device)-- everything reads green. I have tried it on 2 different PCs. The "Network Signal" icon usually shows up as grey with a red crossed out circle, indicating no service-- and occasionally changes to the red triangle with a white cross-- indicating Emergency Calls Only (without me doing anything to the phone). I also have an alert that I have a new voicemail, which seems strange to me if I cannot get service. I am wondering if it is an automatic "Welcome to Straightalk" or something?

I have also followed your instructions in response to user xda4kex to flash the partitions from the XML file you provided, to reset default configuration in the radio. The only steps I did not take from that part were deleting VzwPhoneService.apk and odex removal (I would need to root my phone to complete this task, correct? And wouldn't it just remove that pesky SIM card error popup, or would it actually make a difference with the service?).

Droid Razr M Xt907

Android version 4.1.2 (It seems, after doing some reading, that this could be where the problem is? Maybe I should try to flash 4.1.1 after unlocking the bootloader?)

Build number 9.8.1Q-66

Build date Fri Mar 22 2013

Under "My phone number" it says "unknown," and the bluetooth address is unavailable. However, I have an active Straight Talk micro SIM card (with a prepaid $45/mo unlimited phone time card) in the phone. I have also changed the APN settings to what Straight Talk provided me when I activated the SIM card.

I apologize for the length of the post. I would gladly make a donation via Paypal if you (or any other user) could help me complete this hack and get my Razr M running on the Straight Talk network.

Thanks.

follow my method much easier and i have a video tutorial if you would like to view for ease. no modifying bootloaders or loading XML files necessary ^_^
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lallafa:
I'll give it a shot, and let you know the results. Thank you.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonhart6505:
no prob. if you feel conscious about anything youve already done affecting this, restore the device to full factory and then go
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lallafa:
I was just about to ask! I'll run Matt's Utility real quick and then try.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonhart6505:
also, no rooting required either, unless you really want to
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lallafa:
I'd like to avoid it if possible, I really have no need.

Before trying this, I just want to double check-- This is safe to run on a Razr M XT907 (not a Razr Maxx)?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonhart6505:
i did it on a xt926 which has been said in the OP that it is almost the same as the xt907. only thing i did different was use CDMA WS instead of RadioComm or DFS as originally suggested
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seen_bawl:
Air Upgrade Solution version 98.18.78

Here is the Solution for XT926 for anyone who lost the unlock after the new update version 98.18.78

all what you need to do download DROID RAZR HD Utility 1.21 - Windows/Mac/Linux From HERE

then open the script chose option number one

1 Flash 4.1.2 Stock System, Kernel, and Radio (Data Wipe) [from AP Fastboot]

this well install the room again with the right update 9.16 so u can unlock your phone again ,Do not update your phone after that

then you can unlock you phone useing the RadioComm , Attention you have to do the unlocking steps few times to unlock the phone if you didnt make it from the first time

i got the new update problem and this is how i finish it

motorola razr xt926 HD
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonhart6505:
my method only requires you to do it once. instead of having radiocomm (or dfs) edit the file directly from the program itself, CDMA WS saves a .txt file which you edit the same way, save it and write it directly back to the NV.

if the new update did break your unlock, restoring and following my method will work as well. user choice on how to go about it.

thanks again cellzealot!

edit: also the Droid Utility should have the proper drivers for Win7 x64. at least they worked for me

new radio 98.16.3.XT907.VERIZON.EN.US

Hi All,

I just got a new verizon RAZR M from my friend and try to unlock bootloader to use it on AT&T. My friend called Verizon and asked them to unlock the phone to use on foreign GSM while traveling abroad. Is there any way to check if the phone unlocked or locked from the baseband?

I have tried the instruction in this thread, all went successfully like the instructed photo, but phone still does not recognize the AT&T sim. I'm guessing my phone is on the latest radio (baseband), and asking is there any solution to get it unlocked by soft/hardware modification?

Here is my phone info:

- System Version: 98.16.3.XT907.Verizon.en.US

- Android Version: 4.1.2

- Baseband Version: SM_BP_101032.020.32.78P

- Kernel Version: 3.0.31-g101ca72 hudsoncm@il93lnxdroid84 #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 29 13:25:08 CDT 2013

- Build #: 9.8.1Q-78-1

Any input will be greatly appreciate !!!! God Bless !!!!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blufx1:
Sounds like all you need now is your APN settings corrected for AT&T. Here's a link, plus Google can help if this don't.Keep trying until you find the one that works best. If this helps you, be sure to push that thank you button over there.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonhart6505:
if the phone is to be used across seas, ie not in the U.S, its already unlocked. the RAZR M/HD are Global phones so connecting to a foreign network should already be implemented into the device.

hope that clears that up
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeepingItCuttingEdge:
[Deleted because the problem solved itself after a reinstall.]

And thanks SOOOO much for this hack. The Raxr Maxx HD has the best battery life of any phone out there and love it on AT&T and Straight Talk! :thumbup:
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonhart6505:
To everyone who has run this method and cannot get it to work with the latest update...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
I have already stated it works with the latest update.

There is a lot of misinformation and partial understanding of what is going on and unfortunately, I don't have time to explain it all right now.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonhart6505:
glad it still works cellzealot!

would you rather i pulled my thread out then? dont wanna step on any toes nor take credit for anyone elses work
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
No, not at all, thanks for the consideration.

I don't claim ownership of this hack and am happy to see others figuring out solutions for themselves and helping each other.

That's the whole point! ;)

I shouldn't post when I am in a hurry and in a bad mood to boot!

I just hate to see confusion and misinformation and like to think I help uphold the standard of excellence here on XDA, which sets a pretty high bar.

I just don't have the time I would like to do so and get frustrated.

Not trying to burst anyone's bubble or anything like that, I just place a high value on clarity and understanding.

I will try to post an update tomorrow of what I have found with the new firmware and driver versions.

I don't use CDMA WS but have a good understanding of how the QC NV access tools work and can hopefully help clear up some points.

Sorry if I came off harshly.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonhart6505:
only a little but its all good bro. if it weren't for reading your method, i wouldnt have even thought of using CDMA WS.

your work is greatly appreciated and anything you can contribute to helping us understand whats going on and how it works will no doubt be useful in one way or another. KEEP IT UP CELLZEALOT!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seen_bawl:
well here is another solution for anyone lost the unlocking after the air upgrade

i use the air update and try the other way to unlock the GSM by useing CDMA Workshop 2.7 but i got many problems with the drivers im useing windows XP SP3

i try many ways even radio program when i click read it give me red box nothing green after 3 hours trying i remember i made recovery for my phone before the update

i erase everything then i use CMW to restor my system image

now i back to radio program and do the steps on this post i unlock the phone again but i need you guys to pay attetion to this point

after you click read u well get 01 on the box then u change it to 00 and hit write dont restart do it again

click read inter 8322 then number 1 on the box it well stay 00 not gonna change then hit write again and inter 8322 now restart

wait few second and here you go the Global/GSM is unlocked
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
That sounds like it should work too, but I am not sure why reverting your system was needed.

I think a lot of the variability is due to how the old version of RadioComm reacts to various PC configurations and drivers etc.

I can get the item to stick reliably for me with the 6.2 64 bit drivers on Win7 on first attempt now on both XT907 and XT926.

Also, on my setup when booting in BP Tools mode the drivers for the QC interfaces auto installed themselves, I did not have to force them in device manager. I am trying to figure out why my system is different and others are reporting the manual installation being necessary.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seen_bawl:
i know windows 7 can install some drivers by it self without you do anything plus there is auto search for any missing driver windows XP dont have this option at all

and here is a list of the missing drivers i got after i chose PD tools

motorola QC nmea interface

motorola communication interface

Qc interface

XT926

ill install windows 7 inside VMware program and try again ill let u know what happen

Just wanted to say thanks to cellzealot -- I'm a Verizon subscriber but am exploring some prepaid options for a cheaper monthly bill. Went through the manual instructions without a hitch. Going to pick up a T-Mobile sim card and activation kit this weekend to test it out.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevethegreat:
Say I buy a RAZR m and unlock it to use it in my trip to Europe. Would I be able to pop in European sim cards and work with the (gsm) carrier in question or this hack only works with US carriers?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonhart6505:
you dont need to unlock it to use in Europe. its already a world phone, just doesnt work without unlock for U.S carriers
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevethegreat:
Hmm I though it worked only by a having a contract with Verizon. Thanks anyhow.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pinktank:
Is there anyway to export this radio into a flashable format to make it possible for non windows users to take advantage of it?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
The short answer is no, because the updater-binaries that are used with these devices no longer supports the moto_nv_update function required for writing to the NV from recovery.

In theory, it maybe possible to edit the fsg.mbn partition and flash it in fastboot, but it is likely that would fail due to digital signature failure of the edited image, even on a bootloader unlocked status 3 device.

I have not tried this technique nor seen anyone else attempt such a method.

For the time being, the best option is to load Windows in a VM or get access to a Win box to perform the NV edits.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pinktank:
To clarify, the NV edit it of the radio image, and would therefore would work with any ROM, as third party roms don't come with radios packaged in flashes, correct? sorry for the elementary questions, just not familiar with the droid scene
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
Correct, in as much as the ROMs are concerned, the edit to the NV is persistent(NVM=Non Volatile Memory)in the radio image and ROMs per se do do include or modify the radio, so the only other concern is if the ROM includes the apns_conf.XML with the APN for your carrier or it must be manually added.

Many custom ROMs also break diagnostic mode access and therefore it is recommended to perform the edits on the stock firmware and then flash a ROM if desired, to avoid any difficulties with the procedure as its outlined.

Confused..

I've been watching this thread and have gotten a little confused and have a couple of questions. So my wife has a razr hd and has done the latest software update about a month ago. Will this unlock work for hers or does she have do revert to an earlier built? As I understand there is no rooting or unlocking that needs to be done, am I correct? Will either of these phones (razr m/hd) work on tmobile on their highest speed? I got confused on that also if I'm reading it correct it has to be a refarmed area for you to get the hspa+ speeds, because the phones only have the 1700/1900 mhz radios. Please correct me if and where I'm wrong.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgeoffriau:
Phew! Finally got my t-mobile prepaid sim card tonight. Took a while to get it going -- apparently my first radio edit didn't stick. Tried the manual way a few more times with no success. Finally tried the NVM/SEEM method and that worked.

Sadly, I'm only getting an Edge data signal at the house. Looks like I probably won't be switching to T-Mobile.

EDIT: To clarify -- I know a T-Mobile phone will probably get 3G/4G here from the AWS bands, but as it is I won't be switching with the RAZR M. I'll have to test it out with a different phone first before committing.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lafont28:
You wont get anything but EDGE on any of the razrs unless tmobile has refarmed the area your in for the 1900 range. Just tried the same thing myself

Worked Fine

Just did this yesterday on a brand new Razr Maxx HD. Was Verizon and using the step by step it converted and is running well today. The phone shows a bolded E on the top, but is running data far faster than the iPhone I had on it previously.

There was one hiccup during the process. The program would recognize the phone with the green circle, but wouldn't pull up the IMEI or other buttons in green. I tried several times to reload the drivers from this site with no luck. Then went straight to Motorola and downloaded their latest USB drivers, worked like a charm. The rest was as advertised and worked great.

Hope that helped.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pinktank:
Thanks a lot for the guide, worked wonderfully. One thing to note, it required that I download net 2.0 while I already had 4.0, so one might need that.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pinktank:
You might want to replace this step:

with

Now highlight the 01 and type in 00, hit the write button and there will be a single popup asking for the Decimal NV, type 8322 and hit enter to write it.

The GUI will flash green again, but for many users, it seems that you have to repeat the step of writing the 00. So hit read again, type 8322 and 1 in popup windows as in the previous step, and if the value read is 00, you are done, if not, repeat the read/write/read until it reads 00.

It speeds things up if you search manually for networks once you are done.

I'm trying to do this via the cdma workshop method. I cant seem to get radio comm to function properly. Idk if its because im on newest update, CWMR, unlocked bootloader or what.

I seem to be missing the qc diagnostics driver and cant find it anywhere on the internet...

Anyone have a link for the drivers I need to make cdma workshop play nicely with my com ports and the razr itself?

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Franteeko:
Thanks a million zealot. Got it working I think but I have no way to test. What's the cheapest way to pick up a gem sim and cell service.?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
Yes, if you have an unlocked bootloader, then rooting is a simple matter of flashing a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM and then flashing a root zip with a current version of the su binary and Superuser.apk.

If you don't have an unlocked bootloader, then rooting is still possible but you need to revert to the previous build with a modified XML file in RSD Lite and then use Motochopper to root and use Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to preserve and temp unroot and then run the official update.zip to update to the current version again and then use the root keeper to regain root afterwards.

There is also a utility made by SamuraiHL that will perform all of those steps as a batch file that can be found on droidrzr.com.

Short answer, yes you can reroot but the method depends on whether your bootloader is unlocked or not.

If you have not already unlocked your bootloader, then you cannot now do so after the latest update which fixed the vulnerability in the tz.mbn that allowed the bootloader exploit to work. There is no new exploit nor will one likely become available in the future, unfortunately.

Use the utility by SamuraiHL and follow the instructions in that thread and it is very simple and safe.

You will have to redo the radio hack after you get back on the new build if you use this method.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
My understanding is that this does not work on the USC XT901, but I am not certain of that and the best way to find out is simply to try it and see what happens. The process is easily reverted in any case, whether it works or not.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
You can't unlock your bootloader anymore after you have ever updated to the new build. The exploit no longer works and you can't revert the tz.mbn partition to a prior version.

The best you can do now is to maintain root as I described.

ok i understand now, what do you think what is better, keep with the previous software version, and i try to use the advances i have, having a phone bootloader unlocked, or go to the next update although that represent, i lost the posibility to unlock the bootloader for the moment,
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
You don't have any choices really, since you didn't unlock before updating, now all you can do is root and go forward and use ROMs that are compatible with bootloader locked devices.

You have learned many valuable lessons, one of them being to never accept an update until you have read enough about it to understand how it affects your setup and any hacks or modifications like root.

I have tried this method with caution and followed the steps in RadioComm, but with my Tmobile SIM, the phone still wouldn't recognize the network and SIM. When I tried to redo the whole read/write operation, RadioComm would say read error, which i assume is due to changing the lines and bytes. What would you recommend I do at this point?
