[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElBow513:
When you say no 700 MHz yet, are there plans to put that everywhere? Also is the 1900 mhz similar to vzw LTE speeds?

I'm curious to hear from anyone who has done the transition to tmo and kept their vzw LTE phone. Was it worth it? Or should I bite the bullet and buy a T-Mobile phone... I travel for work and get vzw 4g everywhere, just want to make sure I can get decent service in most metro areas. Thanks for everyone's help
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBowToAndroid:
I have no idea what T-Mo's plans are for 700 MHz LTE. Your HSPA speeds will depend on quality of coverage. In perfect environments, Verizon's LTE is faster than T-Mobile's HSPA. But you may run into areas where T-Mo has a stronger signal than Verizon and therefore their HSPA is faster. T-Mo will be fine in most places in metro areas. Leave those metro areas and you will have issues. Their coverage map is very detailed as far as the different tiers of signal - check it out. I'd recommend unlocking the phone and trying it out with a prepaid SIM first. If it meets your needs, you can switch, and if the HSPA speed doesn't cut it, then you can get a T-Mo phone.

This thread is specifically about the unlock though, so let's keep things on topic.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Doesn't appear you will ever get T-Mobile LTE with the XT907.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_US#4G_LTE_upgrade

They are rolling out LTE service on 700MHz in some areas, but using block A (band 12) while the XT907 requires block C (band 13).

T-Mobile LTE works well on my Droid Mini which supports LTE on band 4 and comes unlocked out of the box, no need to do the Radiocomm thing. There is a bug in the KitKat ROM with switching between GSM/LTE though. Check the Droid Ultra forum for more details on that as it's out of the scope of this thread.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketrazr99:
Absolutely, yes, I used my Win 8.1 Pro w/ Media Center 64 bit several times. If you encounter a problem having it stick, try Backspacing the 01 to delete it after Highlighting it, if that is ineffective, try hitting "enter" after highlighting the 01 instead of "backspace". I have found that it would work best only a certain way. And just close all the warning windows that pop up when you open the program.

---------- Post added at 10:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:18 AM ----------

Yes, read my reply above. Hit "enter" NOT "backspace" when editing the 01. If ineffective then try other methods like Backspacing instead of Highlighting. Keep trying and don't forget to re-check the debugging every time you fail to edit it successfully
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocketrazr99:

Will This work with a Droid Razr XT912.

My sister gave me that phone since one of my phone was broken by my niece (screen I think), and she gave me this as a replacement one. She told me that it was flashed to work with Clear Talk.

It is unlocked I think because I tried using my old non-working Nokia E71 Sim Card (Straight Talk) and it said "No Service". It is set to Global, and went into the APN and it has the following: AT&T PTA, AT&T US (wap.cingular), AT&T US HSDPA (phone), AT&T US MMS (wap.cingular)

So my question would be, how can I tell if the GSM is unlocked or not?.

Thanks to anyone who can help and thanks for not biting my head off ;)
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
Yes, this works on all stock builds and radios including the latest 4.4.2.

This should always be done on the stock firmware and then you can flash a ROM afterwards and the hack will persist in the radio because that is not touched by the ROM.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/144jkrcxt3ap36k/Motorola_6.3.0_64bit.msi?dl=0

This is a recent set of 64 bit drivers I had in Dropbox but you can always download the latest from Motorola directly.

No, this will not work on XT912.

Will Verizon unlock the XT907 for USA GMS use now that the new law is in effect? I am thinking of doing this when my contract with VZW is up and using my M on Straight Talk or Cricket.

S. 517: Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act

...

Introduced:

Mar 11, 2013 (113th Congress, 2013–2015)

Status:

Enacted — Signed by the President on Aug 1, 2014

Law:

This bill became the law numbered Pub.L. 113-144

The bill would allow consumers to use their mobile devices with any wireless carrier. It also expands the right to unlock devices from mobile phones to all wireless devices. Unlocking mobile devices would allow consumers to choose their wireless service provider and would prevent wireless providers from restricting mobile phones to operating only on certain networks.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
No, VZW will not help you do this at all nor are they capable of telling you how to do it yourself.

It would be possible for them to request a radio firmware update from Motorola that would leave the radio unlocked for domestic US GSM carriers but that is extremely unlikely. In fact it has never happened retroactively to my knowledge for any Moto device.

Just do it yourself if you need to and be glad the engineers left it as simple as it is to do for these phones. Many older models are not so lucky.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyingsilverfin:
Thanks very much for whomever figured this out! I've been using my razr m for a couple of months now with the unlock on tmobile, works great!

The only question/problem I've run into is going internationally with my new SIM. All over Europe I couldn't even find any networks, and in mexico I could see the networks but I couldn't connect. Interestingly in Canada my phone connects automatically.

I'm hoping this is a problem somehow related to the SIM not being allowed to work internationally... Is there both a SIM roaming lock and a phone GSM lock (of which I've dealt with the latter thanks to this thread)?

I found it interesting that in Europe scanning for networks found none, but in Mexico I could see and not connect.... any thoughts?

Hi,

My Droid M is 4.2.2, locked to CDMA. I downloaded Motorola Driver 6.3 and connected the phone in Factory with PC. However, it seems Win7 64 bit can't recognize the modem ports of the phone in Device Manager(please see screenshot as below). I also tried Motorola Driver 6.2 and got the same issue.

I did all the unlocking steps in RadioComm and all went through well with green lights, but eventually the phone was still locked. I think the driver is an issue. Any input?

Thank you

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
It would appear that you are not booting into Factory mode, but are in BP Tools mode. Those QC devices only show up in BP Tools and are not needed for this method. The Motorola Networking driver is the device required by RadioComm but it only allows TCMD access when in Factory boot mode. Try again, making sure you scroll down to Factory and highlight it in the menu then use Vol Up button to boot the phone.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezdi:
Don't worry much about the frequency thing when picking your provider.

Anywhere that tmo has LTE they also have WCDMA on 1900. There are very few places left where they have WCDMA but not LTE, so for the most part, you'l get H+ almost everywhere that you would if the phone supported AWS. There's a handful of small towns (with 1 tower for the whole town) around here that haven't been LTE-ified so I'm on EDGE, but almost all the time I'm stuck on EDGE is because tmo hasn't touched that tower since the 90's.

In some places tmo can roam on ATT's 3g (but not MVNOs). You can still get that too.

Wow, that was too easy! Now when my contract with VZW ends 11/23/14, I can go prepaid and then later on buy a new unlocked phone.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezdi:
Anyone out there figure out how to get rid of the "would you like to switch to global mode" popup message yet?

I very often force the phone to WCDMA only because it stupidly sits on EDGE otherwise. Even if I tell it to not ask me again, it comes back the next time I switch it to WCDMA only.

The NV item 8322 can be changed directly on phone, by a simple run of a small utility as root.

The utility has been tested and already confirmed to work perfectly on Photon Q (xt897).

It has been also tested on xt925, where it runs as expected (NV 8322 is already set to 0 there, so the utility reports that no change is needed).

We need confirmation from xt907/xt926 users in order to make it part of moto_msm8960 and moto_msm8960_jbbl builds as we'd like to make the US GSM unlock as easy as possible for CM11 users.

I have never seen a GSM unlock method for the original Razr
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
Suffice it to say that its not gonna happen.

I have done more research into that particular problem than anyone else and can say that with greater certainty than virtually anybody.

Its hard coded in the signed radio images of that generation of OMAP/Qualcomm Moto devices and cannot not be modified via the NVM.

You need to run a Chinese radio image that doesn't have the block enabled for US GSM carriers.

You cannot run that radio on a secured hardware device, so you need to unlock the boot loader in order to do so.

Unlocking the boot loader on that generation of OMAP chip set is the holy grail of Motorola hacking.

It has never been done and never will be done in any reasonable likelihood by anyone, ever!

Really!

If I could tell you how many times I have been asked this question you might understand my level of frustration.

I worked on it for years and had help from some of the sharpest hackers I know and we got very far in our understanding of how the block is implemented and what is actually happening in the radio but got absolutely no where in terms of a solution for stock secured hardware.

I wish it wasn't so and I wish this would be last time I need to explain it...but I know better! ;)

Back on topic. I ran the binary on my XT926 and it successfully changed the NV value. I had to rename it to remove the dashes, put it in xbin and fix permissions before running it term. I am on the latest stock KK build .15 which apparently reset this value.

I had previously done it with radiocomm when I was on BL exploitable KK build and previously when I was on ICS. I used CM11 up until the KK kernel was required and switched back to stock (xposed) because I needed Moto Exchange services instead of AOSP. The major trade off with stock was that BT would crash the 2.4ghz wifi stack until .15 was released. Wish I could go back to CM11 but it is not to be for me.

Can I use this hack on Moto RAZR M with downgraded radio

Hello

I just finished getting my Moto RAZR M on PP per the HowTo at HoFo. It's on v4.1.2 SysVer 98.18.94.XT907, downgraded radio (Baseband

SM_BP_1139_.000.32.12P), Build 9.8.1Q-94 and locked bootloader. After reading through all of the posts, it appears that I can not use this hack as the radio is no longer stock. I am hoping one of the resident gurus will tell me I am incorrect.

Thanks.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
I could be wrong, but I don't see why this could not be used on a downgraded radio.

I think the bigger problem you'll have, is the phone is set to NV only for PP according to the HoFo instructions, which means it gets subscriber info from NV and is likely to ignore any SIM card in the slot. Usually the phone needs to be set to RUIMPref to look at the SIM card and fallback to NV for subscriber info.

I've had no issues untill a couple days ago a new verizon system update came out and now everyday its prompting me to install it and I cant find a way to get rid of the install.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projectisaac:
Just letting you know that my girlfriend also has the xt907 (Droid Razr M), and I recently told her to just download the update. We had unlocked the phone before the update to use with Straight Talk AT&T, and it worked flawlessly (no lte, but we got HSPA+ on it, so whatever). The update did reset the value so that GSM networks were no longer recognized, but re-doing the process brought the functionality back (had to do it twice, the first time didn't stick; there are posts in this thread about tips for just that)! So, you can rest easy knowing that this update won't lockdown your phone :)

I'm also performing a factory reset for other issues, so if you want, stay tuned to see if it still works after my reset (it will).

UPDATE:

So I did a factory reset through the phone settings, and it seems that the carrier unlock stuck! The phone says it is connected to at&t, but I did need to re-enter the APN. Once it's done downloading all of my gf's apps, I'll check and see if I'm actually connected via data and stuff! So far, texting and calling is a go!
