[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phantomsniper773:
Don't necessarily take my word for it, I might have just had some really bad luck, but once I had tried doing a similar thing (Use Matt's Utility 1.20 to revert to stock, then take the OTAs up to the most recent) but when I downloaded the OTA and it went to flash it in recovery, The flash failed, showing the android guy on his back with a red exclamation mark symbol. Then when I went to reboot it, it would automatically go into AP Fastboot every time with some gpt_main error. Also, the weird thing was that it said my bootloader was locked, even though I had it unlocked.

I ended up sending it to Moto since I still had my warranty (since it somehow magically made the bootloader re-locked, I figured that wouldn't be a problem). Lucklily, when I got it back, everything worked and the bootloader was unlocked again. I have no idea what they did, but ever since, I've just been using RSDLite to flash to the most recent OTA.

Attached is a photo of the error. I'm thinking I was just really unlucky with the OTA, but I figured I'd give you a heads-up. I don't wanna see anyone else be in the same situation. ;)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonhart6505:
I believe the guy above may have just had bad luck as he said. Both RSD and Matts do the same thing, minus being able to unlock the BL anymore. You should be fine, wipe the phone first yourself before restoring to minimize the risk.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qcshin:
This is absolutely maddening. I have previously done this twice without any problem.

I have gone back & flashed stock using RSD Lite. Still no service.

I have flashed stock using Matt's Utility. Still no service

What is "##4636# menu" method? Can someone give me a step by step process?

Thanks.

Well here's my experience... I couldn't get it to work even with "00" at first with an att straight talk sim. So I used Matt utility to go back to stock which only wiped my phone data cache etc... I had no idea that it wasn't flashing the stock rom. So after the wipe(not flash) I did the method in the op almost 30 times and it wouldn't work with att straight talk but I tried the T-Mobile sim and it worked. I took the t-mobile sim out and and put the Att and it didn't work. And I put the T-Mobile sim in again and that worked. Weird so I just choose t-mobile for straight talk cause it has already been like 6 house of trying. - MY EXPERIENCE

On some sim you have to reboot with the intended sim inplace before reboot.

Did ya'll make sure on that ? I start noticing that on some of these Simple Mobile sims

and some other smaller GSM Sim Carriers. Not sure if AT&t has that implemented also.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonhart6505:
Out of curiosity did you check to see if the APN was set to ATT/ST in mobile networks?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DyMiC:
Thanks to my perseverance...

I now have my XT907 on MetroPCS.

It took a combination of performing the GSM Unlock and making sure it stuck, and using the *#*#4636#*#* menu, pressing the 3 vertical dots, pressing Select radio band, and pressing USA Band.

Hope this helps!

unblocking GSM a success?

I unblocked my RAZR M, and it was so easy and simple thanks to the instructions that I was thinking it was too easy! BUT.... I have a few issues, first, my radio signal strength is unbelievably weak, or may not be getting recorded and defaulting to the phones worst figure, which is -120dBm, but *#*#INFO#*#* shows same. Also, My data is running at like 2G speeds on EDGE only, but I have seen HSPA (or maybe it was HSPA+) a couple time briefly, which I am thinking is a result of Tmobiles not having nrefarmed my area? Not sure, wondering if I should get a AT&T SIM to try to verify this. Lastly, I am running one of Liquid Smooth's most recent stable releases, v. 2.37, and it has MANY Network Mode selections in Mobile network settings to choose from, several of which work, but i do not know which is the best and under what circumstances of which providers. All of this leads me to wonder what I did wrong? Or if it is a network issue of Tmobile. Any advice of how to get better signal strenght and faster data connection would be greatly appreciated, because as it stands the switch to GSM is not really worth it at all. Please help! Thank you to all who respond.

OK new problem!!!! I can RECEIVE but not TRANSMIT, or SEND, SMS. Do I need to get some Tmobile text app or something?

Did not work during international travel in GSM networks

Hi,

I have successfully unlocked the GSM bands for HD to work properly in US (ATT and Tmo). I checked before I left the country. I also validated my international SIM card worked in US (it was roaming and was using att network). But When I traveled internationally (India). The same SIM did not work. IT did not pickup any carrier. Did I do any thing wrong? Did I miss any step? Any one help. Also When I came back, I cant use the phone in Verizon network now. Only with ATT and Tmo. Is this normal behavior. I did not test the vz network right after GSM unlock. any one help me on these two issues

yea I tried the cdma worshop method also. I have to try to get another sim to see if this is working I think. When I first boot it quickly flashes the round blue R signal but then it goes to the red triangle quickly after . this was yesterday. my closest attempt yet I think. Ill be trying all day until I go to work today I guess. Theres a guy charging $35 bucks on ebay to do it but its mail in and if I ever lose unlock Im not trying to mail it in every time.

what the heck are u guys doing to get this to interface with the drivers properly? I can flash on RSD lite, I can root the phone though the adb bridge and ive even broken the boot loader with Motopocalypse but im at a total loss to get either CDMA workshop or RadioComm to work??

using the latest Motorola drivers from website

the Problems with each are exactly this

RadioComm Can see device but will Not get ESN or read the NV but Can get software version if phone is booted into android it wont pull any info if booted into fast boot?

That first option u select when U install Radio COMM what should it be set too? its conviently Omitted in all the GUIDES

IN cdma workshop I cant get it to Update the QC driver so I have a USeable COMM port to work with

any suggestions at all?

Which MA?

The OP skips a step . . . so what is the answer to the previous post question: "I was wondering if it was because when I first instal RadioComm it ask which MA I want to use before I can go further, I hit Common and then proceed to follow your instructions."?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
The first screenshot shows which MA to select. A few posts down on the first page, I explained that there is no newer version of RadioComm that has specific support for the newer chipsets and that the Common/MDM6X00 MA provided the best match for these devices. You can also use QSC80x5 and have compatibility for many functions in RadioComm with later chipsets.

Common/MDM6x00 is the answer and that screen only comes up if you have never loaded any version of RadioComm on your PC before.

On my recently purchased second hand RAZR M it hasnt worked and I am not sure why, will try the SEEM method. New phone is 4.1.2 and locked, but that doesnt matter right? IDK, but have tried and tried, wont work. And maybe I somehow messed up the radio on the first phone, anyone have link to a radio update zip file?

before the unlock, did it say invalid sim? im not sure if mine worked. thank you in advance!!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
The SIM from Unknown Source warning is cosmetic and can be removed with root by deleting or renaming VzwPhoneService.apk and .odex files in /system/app.

The hack is persistent except for either an OTA or flashing the radio image. You will have to redo the procedure after an update, but it will still work the same way.

This method has worked since the first release and every update since, so it is not likely to change with 4.4.

Read Error

Well, not quite:

1. I don't believe "common/MDM6x00" is not a choice on the RadioComm application initial launch dialogue box - "common" is; most are prefaced with "CDMA". Also, is there any way to reinitialize the application upon subsequent installs to keep it from defaulting to the original choice (which in my case was a guess)?

2. You mention setting "connect as media device" in USB settings, but in the XT926 there are no "USB settings". Did you mean "Media Settings"?

3. My phone connects fine to my computer via USB debugging, but your factory reboot sequence disables USB debugging, and even if I re-en able it on the phone my computer cannot read the phone while in that mode.

4. Which doesn't seem to matter since nothing I do seems to allow RadioComm to read my phone - I draw a blank - not green, not yellow; and, red if I hit "restart".

I am running Win7 x64 and have the correct Moto drivers.

Never posted here before. I created an account just to say thank you so much for your hard work in putting this together.

After I read the CTIA's letter to the FCC (December 2013) I thought it would be easy to get Verizon to unlock the phone for me. But their Tech Support tried to convince me that the Droid Razr M doesn't even have a GSM radio. And I pissed off their supervisor too.

After performing the tasks a few times I finally got the 00 value to stick and it works beautifully on T-Mobile now.

Thanks again!

Can anyone confirm if this still works with stock 98.18.94?

Also, I get warning about 64bit compatibility when I run RadioComm on Win7 64bit. Which device and which driver do I need exactly? There are nothing under "Other devices" in Device manager.

Stuck @ reboot suspend part

Followed step by step and it won't let me write the last step .. Says failed to suspend please reboot and try again //
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
First, I would try doing what it says and rebooting using the restart button in RadioComm while the phone is connected.

Be sure to hold both vol buttons so that you reboot to the boot menu and select factory again to load the Motorola USB Networking driver.

This is a driver issue and is therefore entirely dependent on your PC and configuration. Some combination of reloading the latest drivers and toggling all available modes to be sure they load properly in Device Manager, using a different USB port or another PC etc. is the solution.

Also, please don't quote the entire OP to ask a question, thanks!

Dazed and Confused

Alright, I downloaded the newest USB Driver 6.3.0, and radio comm. Followed all of the instructions. It comes back as 00 when I check 8322 to make sure it took(after 3 tries). I popped in my old sim card from my old icrap to see if it got signal before i drove all over town to get it activated.

It comes up saying it cannot find any GSM/UMTS networks with the red triangle that has a white plus on it. Along with the sim from unknown source, but this is just cosmetic.

My Laptop. Asus G51VX-RX05, Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. Original Motorola USB Cable.

Phone. XT907(Razr M) Android Version 4.1.2

And thank you for making the guide, Verizon just dumped all 4 of my phones from the unlimited data plan out of nowhere.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
That is exactly what it displays on mine if I insert an old deactivated SIM and select GSM/UMTS in Mobile Networks settings.

In Settings/About/Status it also shows my telephone number from the T-Mobile SIM but its disconnected and no service/emergency calls only.

It sounds to me as though everything is working properly and you performed the hack successfully.

Now all you need is a good active SIM to test with.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PVT_Cookies:
Well I drove to my at&t store near my work and had them give me a new sim card, since the sim card in my $20 gophone would not fit. They transferred service over and everything is running smoothly now.

I thought I had it right, but ...

Thanks!

Your instructions carried me through RadioComm (which, I completely agree, is terrifyingly complex!).

When it first opened, there were a handful of daunting popups (beside the "more than 2 months old" one), which sent me scrambling until I found another posting byCellZealot under Team Black Hat, which I found by looking for the phrase "this installation is intended for 32-bit os versions only"

droidforums.net/forum/droid-x2-development/167960-tbh-free-wireless-tethering-hack-instructions.html

and looked under "Part 2".

I then completed the "Manual Entry" part of the procedure as you described it, and double-checked that location 8322 had changed to zero.

The T-Mobile SIM card I want to use was already activated and works on a different phone.

I plugged it in and found, under the phone's "Settings" menu: More...->Mobile Networks->Network Mode

I selected GSM/UMTS and power-cycled the phone.

But I got the same message as before the procedure: "This SIM card is from an unknown source".

I tapped "ok" on it, and later got a "Network Error" message: "No GSM/UMTS networks were found. ..." even in a location where I verified (with another phone) that there was a very good signal from T-Mobile.

I am out of ideas. Please advise...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PennyDroidful:
Thanks. Looking at this, I began to suspect that I had not gotten the 00 value to stick, so I repeated the entire procedure from scratch.

Bingo! I read and, again, it's 01.

My "double-check", which was to read back after having written, showed zero.

But when I re-repeated from scratch, it's back to 01.

Okay, so now I know what my problem is.

How do I fix it????? :mad::mad::mad:
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
The only way I have ever been able to make it stick is to let it sit for about 10-minutes or so after writing the 00.

It's like it needs time to acclimate to the new setting or something. I know that explanation sounds silly, but for me, letting it sit for at least 10-minutes before reboot actually seems to work with 100% success and I've done this several times.

I've never gotten it to stick without letting it sit for awhile.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PennyDroidful:
VERY IMPORTANT item of information...

[Emphasis added]

WOW! It works now and that seems to have done it!

After the last time I wrote, I had to attend to an errand. When I came back, I tried it again and was very (pleasantly to be sure) surprised to see that the READ came back with 00. I would sooner have thought it might have had to do with the way I howled at the moon (or something similarly irrelevant) but I'm SO GLAD you posted this.

Really, I would never have guessed, on my own, that a delay would have mattered. Electronics are supposed to be micro- (if not nano-) second fast ...

Big thanks to everyone for your help!

:victory:

Incidentally, I can't seem to be able to change the "Thanks Meter". If I could, I'd put it way high!

(Ummmm-m-m-m-m that is, assuming it's intended to express my gratitude and not something else...)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phantomsniper773:
Another way I've discovered to reliably let it stick is to do the following:

1) Perform the Radiocomm edit like normal

2) Once the flag has been set to '00', hold the power button and tap the "Airplane Mode" option

3) It should actually disable airplane mode and you should see the signal for AT&T/T-Mobile show up.

4) At this point you can reboot, but do so by holding the power button on the phone and shutting down. Don't use Radiocomm to reboot.

I've used these steps at least 6-7 times in the past and it's worked with a perfect success rate. If the signal doesn't show up after tapping airplane mode, try tapping airplane mode on and off again.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
I actually couldn't get the Airplane Mode toggle to work. A couple times I thought it worked and may have even posted before in this thread that it worked, but I think it's just because I got distracted and enough time had passed that it stuck on its own.

And you can tell by putting a GSM SIM card in it and making a call. Some companies require you set the APN settings for MMS and Data. Also, when it doesn't work you get a red X I believe on the icon in status bar, whereas you would get the lines of reception if it has a SIM or just the outline if it has no SIM.
