Verizon doesnt typically blacklist phones, so yes you will be fine. If this method becomes troublesome I have an alternate method in my sig. Does the same thing but with CDMA WS. Both are very simple as long as you follow directions well.

Awesome thanks i think i got it using radiocom just gota get a sim t-mobile has free sims right now... 60 a month its between that and net10 for 50... 6.99 for sim from net10... kinda up in the air depends who has better service i live in the sticks in uper mi so... but great to know weather bill is paid or not the the unlock will be successful... so doing this it wont ask me for a sim unlock code? I know thats another comon issue people have come across... as far as i know it stuck i read and wrote... typed the 8322 then 0 1 then highlighted the 01 and changed to 00 and wrote it... went through the process again and radiocom listed the byte as 00 on the read... assuming worked will know by friday i hope...

Tut in my signature has video on installing drivers and unlocking

---------- Post added at 06:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 AM ----------

It WONT ask for an unlock code, just pop in the sim and your on your way. To verify if the switch stuck (which many people get frustrated with because it doesnt always) open back up RadioComm (or CDMAWS if you used my tut) and read the 8322 NV Item again. If it still reads 00 your golden. If not, run either method until it does. Or just borrow anybodys micro-sim for a second. It won't affect them negatively.

Net10 will probably be your better option, but if you want cheaper unlimited everything, except for a high speed data cap around 2 gig I think, GoSmart is good too. They run off T-Mobile, Net10 off ATT I believe. I get a lot of people at my shop that choose that over Simple Mobile and Straight Talk.

Stay away from Simple. Their service area coverage is great, but if you ever have problems with service they will offer absolutely no assistance because while their service is "BYOP" they dont assist with unlocked Verizon. Had an argument with a manager for 45 minutes who insisted that I wasnt talking to him ON my Razr M with Simple sim card. Idiots.

Anyway, theres my two cents. Enjoy your unlocked RM! ^_^

What if my Verizon service was disconnected due to bills? Would that give this phone a bad esn? Would this still work?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonhart6505:
Your good. Like I said VZW dont typically blacklist, or at least use a different service that doesnt report to T-Mobile and ATT. Bad esn doesnt usually matter too much on primarily CDMA phones with GSM capabilities. Fire away!

CellZealot - I've read through this about a hundred times, and done searches, but none of the fixes seem to work. I have RadioComm 11.12.2, the latest Motorola Drivers, and I get a green circle when I open RadioComm. However, When I try to use Method 1, I get a 256 error and red everywhere. Trying Method 2, I get a SUSPEND failed: power cycle your phone and try again error. I tried clicking the RESTART button as people have suggested, but this does nothing and also produces a 256 error. Any ideas anyone? Thanks for all your hard work on this!

I should also say that I have an XT907 DEV running CM 10.1.3.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhorton014:
I have to say I'm still a little worried because aren't Bad ESNs shared between all carriers? Wouldn't Red Pocket (ATT MVNO) be able to tell that the phone has a bad esn and not allow it on the network? I'm sorry for posting the same concern, and I greatly appreciate the help and information you are sharing with the great XDA Community, I just can't help but worry this won't work for me.

I'm a noob no denying it....

I was reading that net10 is a partener to at&t and at&t to my knowledge offers 4glte does that mean using my unlocked verizon razr m as a gsm on net10 (if im in the correct locations) my razr m will connect on 4glte or am i going to have old crappy speeds? Also anyone know if it matters what sim? Net10 has a micro sim for tmobile and at&t... not sure the difference if any at all.... mabye this is a stupid question but if i want at&t's 4glte through net10 then do i use the net10 micro sim for at&t phones?

Ok. Finally got it to work. Someone else on this thread (sorry i forgot your name) posted that doing both methods mentioned here before you restart it works and that's what did it for me. One thing though. I am now on Red Pocket wich goes through ATT and I know they have 4g lte but for some reason I'm only getting Edge and H+. Anyone have an idea as to why that would be? Thanks again for the great work!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonhart6505:
You won't get lte. Also, there is no worries about bad esn, to whomever is concerned. Verizon uses a different company when/if they ever blacklist a phone (which is rarely) and because your using this on ATT or T-Mobile on gsm you won't get blocked from using the service. Hope that clears things up.

Stability?

I'm about to purchase this phone from a guy on Craigslist (lucky me, brand new $100). But before I do, I want to know how stable the Sim unlock is? It's not going to be use on Verizon at all--only on T-Mobile/Simple Mobile. It's on the JellyBean update also. Some users are reporting they can't send/receive texts/calls at times----these are most important. Data not so much. Is it guaranteed to work?

I'll be testing out this guy's method since he said it works.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7-Kbm1_enM

And also to not quickly reboot, but instead airplane mode before rebooting the phone during the process. Will the NV-write stick?

Anyone?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonhart6505:
Hey, I recognize that video ^_^ yea, the unlock is fine. More than likely the phone may be on the newest-ish firmware, so you probably won't be able to unlock the bootloader. Its not needed for the GSM anyway, just a bummer you can't flash roms anymore. That is the main reason people (myself included) lost the GSM or have fluctuating service. The roms just arent equipped enough to stabilize the radio. If your phone does for whatever reason drop service out of nowhere, a simple reboot will usually fix it. If not, you can always use Matts utility to restore the stock firmware and unlock again. If you are lucky enough to be on the unlockable bootloader, keep that in mind

Droid XT907 and GSM

Thanks for your tutorial.

It worked perfectly as far as changing the 8322 byte went. After changing and trying to connect to a GSM network I all ways had a red dot on the signal strength indicator or a red triangle rather that signal strength. I bought the phone used and didn't know what had been changed or reset so I proceeded to poke around. I went into the the hidden testing menu ( dial *#*#4636#*#*) and touched Phone Information. From there I touched the Actions Bar Menu (the 3 stacked dots in the bottom right) and Touched Select Radio Band. I then touched USA BAND and exited out. The phone immediately connected to the T-Mobile GSM network and I was able to make calls.

By the way I use Win8 64bit. So it works with that OS as well.

I see. Thank you for clarifying. I was under the impression this had finally worked on xt894. Perhaps those posts referred to outside the US. In my research I haven't come across anything about alternate bootloaders or flashing the radio controller software. Are those avenues worth exploring? I would gladly chip in for this to work.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
No, they are not worth exploring.

There is a lot of history here that you are unaware of and no boot loader of any Motorola OMAP chip set device has ever been cracked nor is it likely they will ever be. I only mentioned it to be factually correct because I have an XT912 engineering model with an unlocked boot loader that can be flashed with a Chinese XT912 radio image that has open GSM/WCDMA services enabled and it works just fine on ATT/T-Mobile in the US.

There is no solution for this generation VZW branded Motorola except for the XT875 Bionic.

I have spent more than 2 years trying to find one as have many others, all without success.

The block on US MCC/MNC pairs is actually in the CDMA radio image and that Call Manager controls the forbidden PLMN list that blocks the GSM/WCDMA radios from authenticating. The radio images are signed to the device hardware and the recovery and the locked boot loader prevents the flashing of an unsigned recovery.

If you had any idea the number of times I have been asked this question, you might perhaps have some sympathy for why I hate answering it and explaining it repeatedly! ;)
