Yes, it works on Maxx HD as well, they are the same chipset.

If this is done will I be able to switch between verizon and at&t? or will doing this stop the verizon sim from working?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Germanese:
Both should work. Since you only allowing it to see other SIMs.

which is the equivalent of taking this phone to Europe stock.

[Q]

I see this is different than the RadioComm edit for the Bionic, where you just edit the 1877 field w a 16 digit string.

I'm asking because it really bugs me that my droid bionic's signal reception is on avg 2 bars when my Captivate Glide w same sim in same areas is 4+ consistantly.

Maybe a bit more info here

Any help, thoughts, advice, appreciated.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxBrun0xx:
This worked perfectly for me! Thank you so much! :D Looks intimidating, but is actually pretty simple.

[MENTION=4371039]MoodSwinger[/MENTION] - Bars don't actually mean anything. Say your signal is -87, Touchwiz may display that using 4 bars while Motoblur displays it using only 2. The only real way to test is to have the actual number corresponding to your signal (-xx db, lower is better). Moto radios are generally regarded as the best in the industry, but ymmv and it will vary from phone to phone.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoodSwinger:
@ Brun0 ~ Thanks for reply

I have realized the diff in "bar" readings...once I got into it I was able to see what the numbers were.

With Captivate Glide - Typically in the High 70's to high 80's

With Bionic - Typically Low 90's to low 100's, rarely spiking to low 80's but regularly dropping to 110-113

put Network Signal Info app on both...

Captivate will go thru network types HSPA,UTMA & HSDPA (iirc)

Bionic seems to only use HSPA and maybe I think I've seen UTMA.

I've read Moto have best radio's that's why I'm thinking it's just an adjustment or tweak somewhere.

Can't Get It To Work

I have a Razr M that I'm trying to flash to Straight Talk. I've tried this 3 times manually and 2 times using NV Seem and it doesn't work. Every time the 00 has stayed in place. Anyone have anything to add that they've done differently? Do I need to have a SIM card in while I'm doing this? I've tried putting the SIM card in while the phone is on and while the phone is off. Neither work. I've tried turning the network to only GSM and turning it to Global. Neither Work. What else can I try?

---------- Post added at 02:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 AM ----------

Did you ever get this to work? Did you do anything differently? Thanks.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
Straight Talk has it's own APN that needs to be manually added. Did you do that?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dogma444:
i flashed both ways radio comm and nv/seem. verified the 00 stuck. i have used a tmobile and att straight talk sim. mine recognizes the sim and number, modified and forced the apn for both sims, scanned for network and it does not pick either one up. have a verizon st912 bought from hong kong factory build date july 2012. also interesting i do not get the foreign sim notification. it just says no network found do you wish to switch to global.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt11686:
I did try this. As I mentioned, it appears that the write is successful: when I go back and read, it does say "00." Is there any way to check on the phone itself if the 00 was successful?

I have a brand new sim card from ATT, so while I suppose it could be bad, it seems unlikely.

EDIT: if I go into MOBILE NETWORKS->NETWORK OPERATORS and wait a while, eventually ATT and Tmobile are listed. When I click on ATT, it says "Registering on ATT," but then after a while it says "your sim card doesn't allow a connection to this network." Does this mean that the GSM radio is working (how else would it know that ATT and Tmobile are possible networks), but maybe that the sim card is bad?

KK phone

I'm reading through the thread trying to figure it out but I see like half a dozen solutions posted and I'm not sure which one to go with. I've used RadioComm to unlock M's before on JB but this is the first one on KK. Drivers 5.9.0 are installed and the USB networking driver does install but RadioComm won't read anything but the software version - won't read the serial number and won't read NV items. Tried the P2K 4 method and no dice either

Ideas? Gonna keep reading but thought someone who's been more active here would know immediately. Version is 183.46.10

Thank you.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt11686:
That's the phone version I'm on as well (assuming you meant 182.46.10).

I am able to read just fine in RadioComm: looks like I ended up with Drivers 6.1.76 I believe from installing Motorola Device Manager. So maybe that's your next step.

For me, even after I make the edit to 00 I'm still not getting any signal with ATT. I'm wondering if it has to do with the kitkat version. Let me know if you have different results.

I did try multiple ATT sim cards, so I don't think it's a sim card issue.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBowToAndroid:
No I do mean 183.

I'll try the newer drivers, though these ones worked fine with JB before.

EDIT: Nope. No go

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
This is a screenshot from my xt907 using a T-Mobile SIM showing 4 bars of H+ and excellent throughput bandwidth.

If the NV edit works then everything else is dependent upon your specific network conditions/provider.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eh33:
Pardon my ignorance. I seen the NV edit but have no clue what it is. I used the Radiocomm method (interestingly worked on one USB port but not the other and with the factory motorola USB cable and not the other)

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
The procedure described in the OP is an edit of the NVM or Non Volatile Memory in the radio.

As I stated above, if that edit is performed successfully then the radio is unlocked and all other factors are dependent on your SIM/provider or network conditions in your location. You also need to make the build.prop edits for optimizing the radio for GSM service and to disable ModemFastDormancy on the latest KK release or you will have many problems. You must be rooted to do this.

The phone can see all available networks operating in your area but can only authenticate you based on your SIM and hardware ID (IMEI) of the device.

The exception is in an emergency call situation it will connect to any available network that the phone can see.

I am not sure what you are asking but the point is that it is your SIM and location that determines all of those variables.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eh33:
I just rooted. is it describe anywhere how to make:

disable ModemFastDormancy on the latest KK release

Just googled how to build.prop & working on it now
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eh33:
I copied the build.prop file to the internal memory (just on there not inside any folders) and am stuck on the green bot w/red triangle. tried holding power, then volume up to get into the recovery menu & not working. tried following this "goomanager from play, tap settings, tap install open recovery. that will install TWRP right away. btw, TWRP is everything that CWM is not, use it, its so much better. " and not working.

I also froze ModemFastDormancy using Titanium

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

[/COLOR]Found this link, is what they say in the 2nd post true? can I not unlock the bootloader? Im sorry, I just thought it was as simple as doing the build.prop edit & ModemFastDOminancy.

http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/38166-droid-maxx-hd-cant-run-recovery/

I also found these instructions which I think someone said will help me be able to install build.prop. They are:

No problem at all. I suggest reading this thread: http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2010312

But I will highlight what you need to do:

C. Download the required files to your computer and extract them

1) All of the files that are required, need to be in one (i.e., the same) directory. It does not matter what it is called, but all the files need to be in there, with NO subfolders. EVERYTHING needs to be extracted into this one directory;

2) Download the attachment from the end of this post and extract the contents to the directory created in step 1. Note: if all you want to do is unlock your bootloader, skip to step 7 in this section (C).

3) Download the version of Android you want from https://developers.google.com/androi...es#occamjop40d. Make sure you are using an occam image which is for the Nexus 4. Most old versions are not usually available on that site; however, there is a mirror on this site: Random Phantasmagoria.

4) Download the appropriate version (for your computer) of 7-zip from here and install it.

5) Extract the files from within the .tgz file which you downloaded in step 3 using 7-zip, not WinZip or WinRAR or whatever.

6) Make sure you have extracted ALL the files (including extracting any files in any archives inside the .tgz file). You should have six (6) files ending with .img in the directory you created in step 1. The other files you extracted from the .tgz are not necessary;

7) Reboot your device into bootloader mode (by turning it off, hold volume down, and press and hold power) and plug it into your computer;

8) Open a command prompt in the same directory (i.e., make sure you are in the same directory as your files are located). You can hold the shift key when you are in the folder in Windows explorer and right-click in a blank spot and it will open a command prompt.

then: 12) Optional (NOT optional for n00bs) -- Flash the recovery partition: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (this should be inside the occam-jop40d-factory-ca7602f0.tgz )

Do I need to follow the above instructions to get the build.prop working?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
All you need is a root enabled file explorer app or a build.prop editor. There are many such apps in the Play Store.

I use Root Explorer but any of them will work. You just have to be sure to set the permissions properly or your phone won't boot.

I listed the edits required in post 681 in this thread and others have also posted alternative methods for doing this in the last few pages of this thread.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eh33:
Okay I am getting 2.2mbps on H+ which I think is normal. Still only 400kbps in playstore though. I think I am good though it's not a big issue. Thank you for all your help CellZealot

Just did this to my Razr HD because I'm no longer on Verizon and I'm probably going to need send my Z2 in repairs.

Odd thing is my T-mobile SIM(although not currently active) works fine but my Metro PCS one doesn't. Doesn't make since Metro PCS runs on T-mobile network and I can use it fine setting everything to T Mobile or Metro PCS on my Z2.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theemaster:
I performed the unlock today.. I've never used radiocomm for it before either.. :rolleyes: I used dfs cdma tool my first time and today when I was using it.. it wouldn't write it for some reason..? so I switched to Cdma_workshop and this youtube vid (this was on 4.1.2 jellybean)

And it's really important to remember that part where you install the drivers and boot the phone into "bt tools" mode :o
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovemyram4x4:
It looks like you need to redo this after updating to new kitkat. I'm seeing better signal now on T mobile than I did previously on Verizon(not sure if this improves as well) on this device & my Z2(which I was impressed with since Verizon has better coverage at my house).

Still can't get Metro PCS SIM to work, really doesn't make sense.

I've got a new droid coming so I'll certainly give it a try.. and test vs. my other phone running jellybean :)

I would totally be running kitkat right now.. if I didn't get a enter your GOOGLE account password every 3 minutes :(

But I will suggest another advanced tip.. when looking at your bars you should be using "signal notification" or another app.. (there is a $.99 more updated app that maybe better than this one) it takes the Decibel levels right out of settings, phone and shows them to you constantly. In my neighborhood tmobile is a piss poor.. -100 db.. (and loses signal drops etc.) where as att scores -60 decibals and err Verizon etc.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovemyram4x4:
I'm getting as high as -99 dBm on the Razr on T mobile, and IIRC I only for -105 on Verizon from this location. The Z2 has about the same dBm but loses connection in some spots of the house while the Razr keeps it.

metropcs is still cdma last i checked (supposedly t-mobile is going to migrate them all to them)

so it's like a verizon sim. it's for lte access pretty much. a verizon sim won't do anythng in a gsm only phone
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Not that it's relevant to unlocking for GSM, but a Verizon SIM isn't just for LTE access. It has the full implementation of CSIM/RUIM, holds CDMA subscriber data, and has its own MEID/pESN, meaning it's fully self-contained and portable. You can put a Verizon SIM in a US Cellular phone and connect to Verizon service and vice versa. It's Sprint whose SIM is only for LTE and married to the phone.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovemyram4x4:
It's now GSM(I believe it always has been, at least that's what the girl in the Metro store said when I went in the get a SIM card), I've been running them on my Z2(they don't offer anything other than GSM at this time).

From what's new for Metro PCS is that I runs on the full T mobile network(unlike most if not all of the others that share networks with the big boys). I starting running them a couple of months ago after finding out about this and that for only $10 more than T mobile's cheaper plan I'd unlimited everything without any caps.

Was working now Ain't WTH

PLEASE HELP

I used CDMA ware to set the 8322, and I did the entitlement check "correction" and all was well for several months. I use the XT926 on straight talk with an AT&T sim and it was working smoothly. Two grandkids could stream while I browse, life was good. Just started thinking about putting a V sim in and see how things were on the V side of straight talk land. But...

And then!! I bombed it. Whilst trying to unerase some much wanted files from the SD card I did something the little 926 did not like. Had to factory reset and restore from a backup. Still rooted, still unlocked, redid the entitlement check and phone works on the AT&T, browse download etc..., but can't tether!? HotSpot app loads and does not check for subscription so,, entitlement hack seems to be working, the other devices connect and I can manage them with the hotspot app, but no data flow. Not a drop. I can browse etc while the devices are connected but they get notta.

running almost stock on the bean. No kitkat for me for now.

So, any help, reco's, advice?

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pawpawwebster:
I kinda think(wonder) that it is an unlock problem, not a hotspot use issue. There's not too much involved in hotspot use, ie tap the icon..done..

There are steps to getting the 926 to work on the AT&T network.

When I turn the entitlement check "ON"(1), I get the no subscription message. Expected. But it's from Verizon.?

Being on the AT&T network, why would I get a V message. This is what makes me wonder if it's an unlock issue, or a different issue.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBowToAndroid:
Doesn't matter what network you're on. You're still using the stock Verizon hotspot, which will throw the message no matter what. I run my own software support service for smartphones and I've helped plenty of clients get hotspot enabled who were still getting the message while using another SIM in an unlocked Verizon phone. You have to find a hotspot hack that will bypass the subscription check.

No LTE and depending on whether Tmo has redeployed their AWS bands in Denver you will only get Edge.

You won't get LTE since T-Mo hasn't deployed 700 MHz yet. Denver has undergone the 1900 MHz reassignment so you will get HSPA+, which is still 4G
