You have to buy either the straight talk sim card kit that comes with one months service included 59.88 or find just the sim cards for straight talk that aren't sold everywhere. Example in my local walmart we sell the kits and not just the sim cards but if I travel 2 hours to another walmart they have just the sim cards for 9.88 or order just one sim card from straight talks website 12.99

I have went to my local walmart, and they do not have the micro sim kit for it. They have the regular sim card that fits in the older 4g style phones. but the kit does not include a micro 4g card. I GUESS I could find someone with a sim cutter??

I have one! Best 3 bucks I ever spent

That's weird I never seen the only one size kit the one at my store has all 3 standard, micro, and nano

You could always cut it down by hand there plenty of vids and even a printable sheet that u print out and tape the sim to band just cut where the lines are. I've done it in the past with no issues although I suggest using a really sharp blade and scissors like kitchen scissors that can cut bone easily.

Help with XT 907

Hi, if any one could help me out I would be extremely grateful. Earlier this year I received an XT907 believing that it was unlocked but that ended up being only half true and could only be used with Verizon or outside the US. I found this thread and through RadioComm and the first method my phone worked. Even before I changed the mobile network to GSM my sim was recognized. Everything worked fine for a day or two (talk, text, data). Then the phone asked for a software update, and foolishly I obliged. After that my SIM was no longer recognized and it simply says emergency calls only. Since, I have redone the RadioComm patch using both methods (manual input and NVM table) hoping that the update simply erased the patch but nothing has worked. Still isn't reading my SIM, still says Emergency Call Only. Can some one please help me, this is extremely frustrating. Is this fixable to make the phone work with my SIM again? If so, how? Or should I give up on it? Thanks in advance.

Thank you and what worked for me

Want to say thanks for your all of your free help. I was beyond frustrated because my customer who i sold the xt907 droid razr m updated the phone ota and it ruined the hack that enabled GSM. I tried to redo it with radiocomm but it wouldnt stick after 15 times of me rewriting it. I tried the seem edit as well but no luck. Then I just tried to factory reset it and then redo the hack, and IT WORKED the first time!

ALL that to say, if you cant get it to stick with radiocomm, try booting to recovery mode and factory reset. and then do hack again.

Just an FYI! This hack still works under the new KK release and must be reapplied after the update using the same methods and tools as previously.

Working on a used Razr M I bought off of craigslist. Stock 4.1.2, factory reset, with just root installed. I'm running Windows 7 x64 on an old Dell laptop and USB 2.0 ports. I used the 6.0.0 Motorola drivers, then installed the drivers that came with RadioComm, but then after some unsuccessful tries, I repaired the 6.0.0 Motorola drivers, though I don't know whether that contributed. I cut down my old T-Mobile mini-SIM using a template off of the internet. I spent a couple of hours trying to get the edit to work, before realizing I was rebooting too fast. On my last and successful try, I rebooted to factory mode with the OEM cable in, started RadioComm, performed the read/write edit twice, then flashed the NVM over that for good measure. I waited five minutes, sent the reboot command, and unplugged the cable. Success! It pulled in the APN info automatically. I'm getting 3G and H+ in Portland, Oregon, which is largely refarmed. Thanks a ton for the great guide.

Edit: I guess I'll have to update my account photo and signature now. RIP in peace, Droid 3.

GSM unlock - relocked by KK 4.4.1 update

I recently unlocked an xt926 that was running 4.1 jelly bean using the RadioComm version found here. It worked great for a few months, however, upon the device accepting the latest OTA KitKat update, my T-mobile sim will no longer work on the phone.

I have since manually input the APN information back into the phone but it still does not work.

When I hook the phone back up to RadioComm, the indicator light turns pink instead of green and when I try to restart the phone from within that program, The header turns red and indicates a failure to communicate with the device.

Should we be able to access these phones running the KK OTA through RadioComm or did something change there?

Also, if not, would one of the other methods here still work?

Thanks,

Tim

You guys are always helpful, thanks in advance...I've been able to do the NV edit on several XT926's and XT907's with minimal difficulty, but I've run into a problem that I haven't found a clear answer. I've got another XT926 that I sold to a customer, was on 4.1.2, he "accidently" did the OTA to 4.4.2...when I went to edit through Radiocomm the first time, I was able to read/write to 8322 and do the NV/SEEM edit as well, didn't stick...then when I went back into Radiocomm, I got the error -256 "no device connected" error for anything I tried to do. I factory reset the phone, reinstalled the Motorola drivers, reinstalled Radiocomm and data drivers, restarted computer several times, used several different original Motorola cables, different USB ports, but still get the error. Running Win7 64bit all updates, just built the system a few weeks ago, and have been able to successfully hack several XT926's on this machine. Can't find a 4.4.2 sbf file.

Ideas? Suggestions?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s_u_n:
This might appear off-topic to this thread, but the 4.4.2 upgrade disabled data on Reliance CDMA.

Mobile data works fine on Tata DoCoMo GSM though. So, something around the PRL settings have gone haywire, I suppose.

However, voice works fine after the upgrade.

SMS works fine only if the contact does *not* have the country code prefix saved. So, if the contact has +91 XXXXXXXXXX, then SMS fails to go with error code 98. I don't recollect seeing this error earlier, and this is my dad's phone.

No service

I seem to be having the same problem as others.

I sucessfully unlocked the xt907 to GSM/UMTS using radiocomm. This was done after an OTA update to KK.

I have a message of unrecognized SIM. And no mobile networks message.

I have an active AT&T SIM. I tried re-connecting to radiocomm to look for a "pink notification" and checked the USB settings, but all was well.

Just cant seem to get it working on AT&T or find any networks on GSM/UMTS.

Any ideas?

UPDATE:

As others have said to do the procedure again and when it's finished let the phone sit for ten minutes or so before restating. Well i have tried once again and it worked this time, just by waiting a few minutes longer.

I will note that the first attempt did work sort of... I did see the GSM option that i never saw before but it just would not connect to a GSM network. So be patient and it will work even if you have an OTA update to KK.

Thank you very much cellzealot for sharing this guide and thanks to all others that have contributed as well.

Razr M stopped working on Tmobile after KitKat Upgrade

Hi All;

I had used the Radiocomm procedure with my daughter's Razr M phone with firmware Jellybean and I got it to work on the first attempt about 2 months ago. A couple of nights ago the kitkat upgrade was pushed out to the phone and it stopped working on Tmobile after the push.

One question I have is how did KitKat get pushed out on Tmobile's network, I only thought this was pushed on Verizon's Network as the phone is a Verizon Razr M branded phone. Any thoughts?

It seems after the KitKat OS was pushed out the US GSM change was lost as I learned the firmware was stock and would have not had the US GSM function enabled.

I tried many things in attempt to get it working again. In the process i did learn how to roll back to Version's Jellybean stock firmware via RSDlite as I thought perhaps the KitKat firmware was at fault.

The bottom line for me was to load the NVM file via Radiocomm and then check to make sure 00 was present in location 8322 which it was. I spent over 8 hours attempting to get the phone to work again.

I think my next step is to upgrade to KitKat and to use RadioComm with the NVM file.

I feel like an expert now! Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Mike
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
I'm not sure about other phones, but all my Motorola and HTC phones can receive OTA updates over Wifi. I get the updates even when I use T-Mobile and have mobile data turned off.

I'm able to get the NV edit to work first time, every time now. Trick is to make the edit, then go do something else for awhile and reboot the phone some time later and it should stick. I don't know how much time is ideal, maybe 10-minutes? I just go watch a TV show or something, then come back to it afterwards. Others have reported that letting it sit for awhile also made it stick for them.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sefirosu:
When using the program or just in general?

In the past, I usually find that it is bloatware that is running in the background that is causing the heatup.

For me, the culprit is the updater, moto services and some nameless app that is used to update the phone.

Just trying to help

I don't know if this affects all other phones, but using this tutorial, I have unlocked about 3 phones and reunlocked my DROID RAZR MAXX HD a second time. The first time I tried this, I did as all the directions say, but was totally clueless as where to find the NVM file because I didn't see the end where you left your link.* -But was unsuccessful each time. Now, I don't know if this works for all phones, but I unlocked both mine and my mother's DROID RAZR M and a DROID RAZR HD by skipping the restart right after the NV edit and before the NV/SEEM step and it finally successfully unlocked. Another thing that you should stress is that they MUST have ALL drivers installed on their computer and that one crucial driver DOESN'T show available. This is called "Motorola QC Diag Port" and must be present. You can find it easily by booting your phone into bp tools mode. Again, I'm posting this information for just in case there was a mess up that others maybe be able to follow thoroughly and finish the edit correctly. Again, if i'm just doing something different and unnecessary, disregard. Hope this helps.

*I finally found out that "the save file" or whatever button did the trick lol. It would help to include that information, though. Sorry for just realizing i wasn't supposed to post here.. lol. Just a helpful hint.

I will try to write up a post tonight detailing a different method of writing the NV Item in RadioComm using a different tab/tool and see if we can't help eliminate some of the issues users are having with it sticking after a successful write operation.

I have a routine of reading, writing, verifying with the FTM Common1 tab then rereading and writing with the STELEM/RDELEM window in the P2K 4 tab and then using the restart button to reboot. All of this can be done in under 2 minutes and never fails to stick after reboot.

I am using a Win 7 64 bit laptop for all of my testing and the latest 6.3.0 Motorola End User USB Drivers.

Edit: Here is a screenshot showing the method using the STELEM/RDELEM window in the P2K 4 tab in RadioComm.

Anyone who is having difficulty with the other methods posted can try this one, either by it self or as I suggested above using both methods in succession to read, write then reread to verify and then restart the device. I always use the RESTART button in RadioComm to do this but it can be done manually as well.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shromy:
Personally had the same issues as others are stating. I am on straight talk, I manually pushed the OTA with RSDLite. Of course this removed the apn settings etc. All I had to do was enter the APN setting for my carrier and rerun the unlock procedure and skip the restart with raddiocomm to get it working. It failed multiple times when using radiocomm to restart the phone. As of yet I have not rebooted the phone manually so it is still in FACTORY mode. Later tonight I will try doing so, I just needed it working for the time being. Data and mms etc are working as of now as well as calls. Not sure if this will be of any help to anyone else but worth putting it out there IMO. Thanks again to all the great people on this forum that help me get into these messes, I thoroughly enjoy getting myself out of them. :)

I cannot get any of the methods to stick, I am on the latest OTA - KDA20.62-10. I have tried every method but nothing will stick with my phone. Which is a little frustrating because I just replaced the screen + digitizer + glass to be able to use this phone so I can get away from my contract with sprint.

Edit: Approx 10 min after first post:

I rebooted into Factory Mode, reread the data, saw 01 instead of 00. rewrote the 00 to 8322 about 10-15 times using first method and method posted above about using p2k4 tab. I then used the reset button to reboot the phone then rebooted again manually back into Factory mode and reread the NV data and it seems to have stuck, so I apologize for any frustration felt for my initial post.

No apology needed, thanks for the feedback. Aside from repeating 15 times your procedure is exactly as it should be and how I do it when trying to absolutely verify and confirm my results.

Congrats and good luck with your phone. Its a great device even at this stage of life and this firmware update give it additional longevity.

The form factor and build quality make it one of my favorite Moto devices still.

There are a few build.prop tweaks to optimize performance for GSM network and remove some of the VZW specific settings that I will put together and post in the reserved second post and update the OP for the new firmware version and information from user feedback when I get the chance.
