XT926 issue

I'm hoping that someone can help out here. I have used cellzealot's instructions successfully at least three times; once after first getting my XT926, and twice after accepting a couple of Verizon OTA updates over the past year. I just recently received another update and went ahead with it (thinking I would just have to rewrite 8322 to 00), but every time I'm going through it it appears to work through RadioComm (I check the green message window to ensure that the "Returned from radio" message matches the "Sent to radio". However, after restarting the phone I still can't manage to get on to T-Mobile's network, so I then go back in to RadioComm again and check 8322, but it's back to 01 again!?! :confused:

Has anyone experienced this before? If you have, were you able to resolve the issue, and if so, how did you resolve it? I've been trying several times today, and I just keep getting the same results. I even had the T-Mobile advanced tech representative have me shut down the phone while they reset me from their end and then try to reconnect after, but still no luck.

One thing that I have noticed when connected to RC is that I can read the IMEI, ESN, MEID & PESN without any issue (it also seems that the IMEI & MEID are the same and the ESN & PESN are the same), but when I click on the IMSI, I get a red message stating the following: "Sending 'SMARTCARD' command with data '00002C0000000000' to the radio...

Sent to radio:

TC Send Header: 0006003C0000000000000008

TC Send Data: 00002C0000000000

Returned from radio:

TC Receive Header: 8406003C0004000000000000

TC Receive Data: "

I'm not certain that this really indicates anything, as the other four buttons have a green message starting with "Sending 'NVRead' command with data....", so I suspect that the 'SMARTCARD' command isn't really something to worry about, but I thought I should mention it just to cover all bases. :eek:

Hopefully someone out there can help! :fingers-crossed:

Anyone still having difficulty with writing the NV Item should try kabaldan's utility that he posted here.

No PC is required and all you need to do is run the utility.

You can also try the alternative method for using the RDELEM/STELEM function in RadioComm to write it as I posted a few pages back.

There are many ways to accomplish the edit now and one of them should work for you.

Apparently picked the wrong Razr....

So I have a Verizon Razr maxx XT912 unlocked, rooted, the basics and I would like to use it on domestic gsm but I have come to believe it will never be possible, so I wondering if anyone with the XT910 or another model that does work in the US would like to trade?

Question about this procedure

Newbie, 1st post.

If my understanding is correct, this procedure changes NV address 8322 from 01 to 00. This allows the phone to access US GSM frequencies.

If I buy an unlock code from an online vendor, does it do the same thing ? If not, what does an unlock code do ?

Thanks in advance.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blade765:
The unlock code you are taking about used to be used to unlock the SIM LOCK, which only allowed VZW SIM cards to be used in their devices. However, a long ways back, to my understanding (someone correct me if I'm wrong) Verizon started selling their phones without SIM locks in place. So, you no longer need an unlock code. Again, I could be mistaken.

it worked on kit kat 4.4.2 latest update from verizon per 10/10/2014

just want to confirm this and this unlock thing posted in the first page worked for me, I owe this explanation because what I have gone through last night just to get my XT907 back to T-Mobile, so the other guys can have better idea before fall into same situation.

well not that simple though,

I have XT907 run with 4.1.2 for a while and did the unlock without a problem, one time try, and it was success.

then almost disaster happened last night, after relentlessly avoid "Upgrade" button for almost 2 months, suddenly I hit press "YES" for upgrade to 4.4.2 because of some reason, I got distracted in the party where I was about to use the phone.

so of course, after upgrade finished in the middle of the party, I ended up without working phone, it was back to verizon only. :crying::crying::crying:

long story short, did the same thing, and the result was not good, 8322 always back to 01 value again after restart, did it couple update NV-restart cycle couple times, still 8322 was 01, did everything to the text, even HIGHLIGHT the 01 instead just using backspace to change it to 00.

then finally those guys that informed they had it work by did a write couple times finally come to help.

so here is what I did, read NV value 8322, change 00 (by highlighted), and hit write, read again, then write, then press write again, and then press write again, and then read 8322 value again, to make sure it is 00, then hit restart button on the radiocomm.

and yep. value stick to 00 now, pheww..... so the trick was, read once, write couple times. :good::good:

hopefully you guys here can get some clarification on how this thing can still work in the latest verizon update.

and thanks alot for cellzealot for your knowledge.

No 'Factory' Option in Boot Mode?

I only show:

Available Boot Modes:

Recovery

AP Fastboot

BP SBF Flash

BP Only

BP HW Diag & Boot AP

BP Tools​

The device is a friend's and is rooted, has OTA, etc., but appears to still be locked. Do I need to do a factory reset? Do I need to completely unlock it first?

I am perplexed why the Factory boot option does not even appear.

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
You are not using an xt907/926 and are probably on a RAZR xt912 with an OMAP chip set. Those are the boot options available for those devices which don't have factory boot mode. This hack does not work for OMAP chip set based Motorola devices.

XT907 Fails to work on TMobile

I'm having a hell of a time with this. I've tried to get this Verizon xt907 to work with TMobile but its simply not.

I have done the CMDA and RadioComm methods and I also took it to a phone store where they flash and unlock and THEY couldn't figure it out.

My phone is in great condition too.

First off it does'nt recognize the SIM card at all

soo "No GSM/UMTS networks were found. Would you like to switch to the Global mode?" pops up and obviously nothing.

The people at the store said this can't be done but looking at all the forums and youtube videos that simply cannot be true.

Please help D:

So as I'm writing this I went to the network selection screen and it just sat on the screen for a while and when I looked down it had a list of carriers

Search Networks

Choose automaticaly

TMobile

ATT

CBW

but when I selected TMobile it says "Registering on T-Mobile" at first then it times out and says "can't connect to this network right now. Try again later"

I've tried to connect like 3 times now and will continue to do so until someone replies

Need help unlocking

So i have a Razr xt926 on the latest 4.4.2 on 183.46.15 version. I have gotten the 8322 NV item to stick to 00 but I still cannot get a signal on GSM. I have checked multiple times in RadioComm and it is keeping the 00 value, even in RDELEM. I cannot get CDMA workshop to communicate with the phone tho. I just keep getting the unknown sim and change back to global pop-ups. I don't know what else to try. Its a brand new AT&T sim card that has just been activated to work on Straight Talk. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is my main phone and sucks to have it stuck down.

Have you checked to see if it's blacklisted?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juicedinteg:
It checked out as a clean esn. Wondering if there is an issue with the sim card. Its activated but not fully. I need to be able to dial *22890 to fully activate it which I can't since it won't pick up the mobile network.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
You are discussing terms and authentication methods associated with CDMA networks and radio protocols.

These have nothing to do with GSM networks and authentication methods so it must be some kind of hybrid network plan you have from StraightTalk.. You can't do *228 OTA activation with a SIM and it defeats the purpose of SIM based authentication which uses the IMEI for hardware ID and not the pESN or MEID. All of those are referenced only for CDMA authentication and are stored in the NVM of the device.

Motorola RAZR i (XT890)

Hi all,

I was wondering if this would work on the Motorola RAZR i (XT890). The RAZR i is the European version of the RAZR M - it is practically identical except for 2 differences: a physical camera button on the outside, and a 2GHz processor (instead of 1.5GHz).

Apologies if this is a stupid question - I've searched everywhere for a reliable method of unlocking my RAZR i and this looks like my best shot. I also did a thorough search of this thread to make sure the question hadn't already been asked, and couldn't find anything.

Any help would be much appreciated.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBowToAndroid:
There is another huge difference. It doesn't use a Qualcomm processor, which means this method won't work on it. Even if it did have Qualcomm, it still wouldn't work because a European version is not going to have the sam NV structure as a Verizon CDMA version. Unlock code is your only option

Hey, I followed the steps. and i get to where i plug my phone in in factory mode with usb debugging enabled and it does nothing, radiocomm doesnt do anything at all. dont know if it affects it, but i have 4.4.2.. any help would be great.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
You need to update and reinstall your Motorola USB drivers with the latest version and try again.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I second iBowToAndroid; Qualcomm Gobi modem chipset uses different modem NV layouts compared to the Snapdragon processors. 3G modems uses somewhat older NV layouts so I don't think it would be good to use RadioComm to tinker with. One wrong move, the modem can get crippled. If it doesn't use Gobi chipset, things get pretty difficult not to mention good chance of bricking the modem or the entire phone.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nb68:
i reinstalled the drivers, and it worked, but after i rebooted the phone and put in the at&t sim and selected gsm/umts, it said no networks available.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nb68:
so i was reading through some other posts and comments, do you think it would be because i bought a 4g sim?? cuz from waht i was reading elswhere is that gsm will be 3g.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
Yes I do think it's the wrong SIM. The baseband in this phone is limited to band 13 LTE for VZW's network.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~blitz~:
Just curious, I've only been able to read over about 30 pgs so far, but will this work on a Photon Q 4g? I'm trying to use Straight Talk on it and my mod technician emailed me this link because I live in the states. Thanks! Sorry if I missed something somewhere
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scratch!:
When I run RadioComm on windows 8 64-bit, it gives these errors:

"Motorola Datacard Drivers 1.5.11

This installation is intended for 32-bit OS versions only. Please use the 64-bit version on this machine.

The installer was interrupted before Motorola Datacard Drivers 1.5.11 could be installed. You need to restart the installer to try again.

Click 'Close' to exit."

"WARNING!

Motorola Datacard Driver Installation package version mismatch. The version supplied with this tool does not match the installed version on the machine. We cannot guarantee proper radio enumeration unless you install the latest version. The installation package will start again the next time this tool is started."

Given how strenuously it is warned against messing with values in RadioComm I don't want to continue, but I can't find 64-bit version of this driver with google. Is there a way to proceed or should I just find a 32-bit OS somewhere to perform this operation?

edit/update: Went ahead with it based on some of the OP's comments in this thread, took a couple tries to make it stick but I'm now able to make T-mobile calls. Thanks a bunch!

Won't recognize phone is connected

Hi - I have the motorola xt907 Verizon branded phone - am trying to enable it for AT&T.

I followed the instructions but cannot get RadioComm to recognize the phone is there, attached.

Windows 8.1. I uinstalled/reinstalled the motorola driver software (and rebooted several times).

I have the motorola cable that says 'Motorola Data Cable' on a tag on it and has a verizon Backup Assistant tag on the other side of it - pretty sure it came w/the phone. (i've tried a couple other cables as well).

I've tried this on 2 different USB 3.0 ports and 1 USB 2.0 port.

I restarted the phone a few times with RC Comm up- when it boots in factory mode i have to re-enable debugging and USB attach as media device - which I do. I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting the phone.

I've tried re-starting RCOmm w/ the phone connected too. And I've tried starting the app as administrator.

i've tried doing Settings->Search for devices from the RadioComm menu.

Nothing - it just sits there in 'Red' Dot status (search for devices says none found).

Windows recognizes when I plug it in and unplug it, but the RadioComm software doesn't.

Any other ideas to try? I really would like to get this working on AT&T if possible.

Thanks for any ideas..

Pain in the ass but 5th time was a charm.... First issue, on the first attempt RadioComm SW said this is for 32bit only, use the 64bit version (which I do not have or know if it exists), I tried it anyway, it "seemed" to have worked but did not..... so I just went to another computer (Windows XP 32bit), tried it 3 times on that computer, still to no avail. Spent an hour reading through the entire then 93 pages of this thread, picking up on tid-bits here and there, Sooooooooooooooooooo what worked for me was after the last step, "When you hit OK the item will be written and the GUI will again flash green for a successful write as shown in the sixth screenshot" I DID NOT reboot the phone as instructed, walked away, let it set for 10 minutes (or so), still plugged to the PC, came back and unplugged it from the PC, played with the settings, tried to make a call right away, and I got a message saying I could not make a call in airplane mode (WHICH WAS NOT ON), "would you like to turn airplane mode off new?", I selected yes, turn off airplane mode, them bam, she kicked in, call went through, and it started working. Now all is well.

Hope this helps.....

Not sure why some PC configs seem to have such a hard time with RadioComm, but it is very old legacy software at this point and i doubt we will see any updated versions.

This is a complete stretch, because I know intel is very different from qualcomm but if we flashed the droid razr I modem would it fix all the issues? Droid razr i has identical gsm/wcdma bands. Has anyone tried it? Flashing the radio shouldn't require root
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
againareku, no. It definitely will brick the phone (MSM8960 depends on modem for bootloader security verification and injection into Krait L1 cache RAM for booting up the entire OS after Krait CPUs are brought online). Gobi used in RAZR i is much older and different than the one used in Snapdragon S4+ MSM8960 CPU in RAZR M XT907.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadyDreamer:
With this you should be able to disable the fast dormancy service on KitKat without root:

http://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-remove-bloatware-from-your-android-device-xda-tv/

Or if you are familiar with using adb and the shell, from an adb shell use "pm block app.name" (replace app.name with the com.company.whatever internal name for that fast dormancy service).

Apparently this works without root even for system apps on KitKat (and only KitKat, according to that post). The command I mentioned only works through an adb shell, not a terminal emulator app on the phone itself (unless running as root, of course). It won't show up as being disabled in your app list, but it does work. I know of someone with a Razr M or HD on KitKat who successfully blocked the com.motorola.setupwizard.phoneservice system app that is responsible for the unknown SIM messages and blocking the *228 CDMA activation numbers, and was able to get to the CDMA activation screen they needed to reach.
