Droid 2 Global + AT&T = ?
Before anyone says it, i've googled it, and searched this forum for a couple hours, so please no "try the search function" - pointless posts.
Theres a buddy of mine trying to sell me his Droid 2 Global, my problem? I enjoy my HTC Aria. Now the Droid is verizon branded [obviously] and i've seen people complain about how the rom didn't allow them to use the SIM card. Idk if they were kidding or not [because i havn't a clue if there is a SIM slot on the droid 2] but through rooting and installing a different ROM, would be using my AT&T Sim card in the Droid 2 be effective or will it be a high-priced paper weight?
Paperweight. Unless you pay tbh 100$ for the unlocked radio.

Droid 2 & Droid 2 Global, Can I have a guide to unlock both? Or is the process the same for them to be able to use an AT&T SIM card, since the only real guide i've seen says at the end "DOESNT WORK WITH AT&T SIM" so yeah...
It can only be unlocked by team black hat. You have to send the phone to them and the service costs $100. There is no guide available to DIY period.

The Droid 2 doesn't have a SIM cards slot and only has a CDMA radio so it can only be unlocked to work on CDMA only networks.
I'm having a problem. My phone doesn't see the sim card.

Holy horse balls. How about a little info?
Are you rooted? If so, what ROM are you running?
Sorry started on aokp tootie frootie and was fine until I flashed the WiFi talk fix. So my buddy did a factory reset and then put Revolution HD 7.04. Not sure if he wiped like he should have. He's been converted recently from Apple. Still has s-off and rooted. I'm going to try the aokp rom again and see what happens. We tried another sim card and it didn't see it. Im doing this for a friend at work and I hope I didn't f$%k it up on him. I have a thunderbolt and this phone is all new to me. Especially the way that rom flashed itself asking questions and such. Really jealous of this phone as well for having fully functional ICS. ;-) lucky bastards. Great devs on this phone.
Update: I totally wiped everything and reflashed Revolution HD. Tried fixing permissions, nothing. Still not seeing the sim. HELP

Try placing a small piece of paper on top of the sim card then insert it into the sim slot to add pressure to it.
Are you able to try a different sim card? The card could be corrupted or damaged.

I did try another sim last night and still no go. PaperIt didn't work either. It all started about an hour after I flashed that wifi calling fix for aosp/aokp roms. Any ideas on on gfree sim unlock?
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk 2
Gfree can carrier unlock your phone. Did you root with gfree? If so, you very likely have unlocked it already.
You could try flashing PD15IMG.zip.
Worse comes to worst you can replace the sim/sd card reader for cheap from Ebay. (probably won't work if it is indeed a software problem)
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA
No I didn't use gfree to root. Now I'm trying to get back s-on this thing and its not working. Anyone know where I can get the OTA gingerbread update zip from. All I can find is a froyo zip. I tried the unroot/s-off methods in the Glacier bible. But no good. All I get is unroot but still s-off. Maybe he can get some help from t-mobile.

I'm having the EXACT same issue,and my phone is SIM unlocked and it won't recognize any of the 3 active Sims cards I tried, 1. is mine, T mobile. 2nd is My Mother's At&t, and third my buddies boost mobile sims card from his android phone from there. None either say it's the wrong Sims card or anything just that I don't have a sims card. Oh yea and where your able to input an APN is all greyed out so I can't even try to type in an APN manually. I know the card is good. I use it on my Samsung Galaxy 2. The Mytouch 4G is my old phone. I kept it for a just in case phone. Phone is rooted and it was running CM 6.5, then I put a stock rom on it now to see if the rom was the problem.. must not be. I'm fresh out of Idea's. Anyone here got any?

Then that's your problem, I would assume. The phone can't correctly read your SIM.

so that's fixable so the new sim will work on both phones if I call them?

well I'm calling T-mobile now but the phone is SIM Unlocked and I tried a working AT&T sim that used to work on this phone and a Boost mobile sims that worked and it won't read those either, it doesn't say unsupported sim.. just no sim card. So I haven't a clue. I'll post if they give me a fix for it for anyone else that may need a solution to this.
Thanks for taking the time to answer me though estallings15 , I appreciate that, I hit the TY button, people don't do that enough.
---------- Post added at 07:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------
Yea I had too. The new wifi calling won't work without the new SIM. The wifi calling that you turn on in settings,, without the app. on my Samsung Galaxy S 2, but my HTC Glacier,, Mytouch 4G has the app. It was one of the first android phones that came with it.
OKAY I Just called T-Mobile, here's the short and skinny of it. The Tech guy ran a few tests.. whatever, **** I already tried. He said it was a device issue not a sim card issue. I can't be issued a replacement because it was dropped and the power button popped out of it so I have to go through my cell phone insurance. To Replace it costs $130. If it was my Samsung galaxy S 2, or my Tablet I'd do it but for my back up, old ass, unnecessary phone, no way. I'd of paid maybe 40 or 50 bucks tops. But the bottom line is I don't need it so bad I'd spend 130 on it. lol. So if anyone on here happens upon a solution to this problem give me a shout out I'd be thankful.

So I just got a nexus 4 from a cousin in the US that brought it to Mexico for me, I am trying to use my microSIM from my note2 but it will not read it, my carrier here is Telcel and if I got to movile networks and search for network operators it does find mine (Telcel) but it will not read the SIM, any ideas what it could be?

I think its not fitting properly in the sim tray.
remove it and fit it properly in the tray or else I doubt you need to order another micro sim from Telcel.

I just had to turn off then on again the phone for it to read the SIM, I did had to buy the new one but I also had to restart it xD, now everything is working fine.
Amigo! Do a duplicate in a Telcel store! Cut the sim sometimes it doesn't work!

Should be the same process that you use for other Sprint phones. I believe you guys have to call Sprint and move your sim to activate. Read up on Nexus 6 activation. It should be the same.
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk
The best and quickest way to do this would be to take the phone to the store once you get it, let them enter the imei, etc. into the system, and once it activates (and it will, since your sim will already be in the phone...), that will be that.

I don't know about this device specifically, but I'm on AT&T and I've swapped devices by simply switching the SIM. Never had an issue with this.
ATT as well and can agree just popping in a existing sim no activation needed. Bought a micro to nano cutter to be ready for when my MXP get here.
I just did a chat with sprint asked for a nano sim they asked what phone told them they said no problem so it looks like this wont be to bad

Yeah you'll need a compatible SIM and you'll still have to get in touch with sprint to have them activate it to your line. I know for a fact the SIM that the iPhone uses won't work, the only compatible SIM that is currently in use on other Sprint models that will also work with the X Pure is the SIM the HTC one M9 uses. Just go into a Sprint store when you get your X and they'll have one
Since the phone is just getting out there, it's not officially sold through Sprint (or Verizon), at this point, the trickle down info the online reps will have is going to vary, and different and confusing things can happen. The simplest way for CDMA customers to get going with this phone is to contact them, either by phone or in store, and activate whatever they need to on top of whatever you put into your phone from your existing one. Note: this phone uses a Nano, NOT a micro, sim card. This being the case, unless you want to buy a fitter, or feel comfortable cutting your sim card to fit, it would be best to just get a new one. GSM customers (like ATT & T-Mo) do not need to worry about any of this (aside from Band 12/wifi calling stuff, which is way more advanced than this thread, but I'll be looking into....QXDM, etc...), since the sim card being inserted for the first time will automatically download all of the pertinent information to get you going .
I ordered a Sim cutter so I can just use my G4 Sim. Verizon is notorious for not giving Sims for devices they don't sell.

Why wouldn't your iPhone sim work? I have a Verizon iPhone, and swap my sim with all kinds of android devices nearly every day. There has never been a problem. They use the exact same sim card. In fact, it is already a nano-sim as well so it would fit perfectly in the MXP.

Let me start by saying I'm a technician at a Sprint store, yes that works on Verizon and any GSM carrier but with Sprint the SIM card doesn't carry your mobile subscriber identity it just allows the phone access to our 4G LTE network. So yes the X pure takes a nano SIM, same size as the iPhone but we have many different SIM card SKUs for all our 4G phones and ones that work with some are not compatible to work with other phones. As I already said the only phone currently on the sprint network that uses the same nano SIM that will also work with the X pure is the HTC One m9 SIM but even if you aren't coming from the m9 you can just go into a sprint store and pick up the specific SIM we have tons of all SIMs in stock in the back for these specific reasons

Thanks for this, im on the same page with the other friend on Verizon you only need to switch sim cards, no with your information, I only going to need to Sprint store and ask for sim card for HTC M9 and also tell them that i need it active and pupin my MPE and after then the phone should work, or I need to provide de imeid or esn?

You'll need to provide them the ESN, they'll activate it to your line and also activate the SIM to the phone at the same time and pop it in the phone, they should know what SIM to use it was already mentioned in our introduction material provided to us, if the rep seems like they have no idea just mention it's the same SIM the m9 uses

Good to know, I was wondering about this myself as I currently have the Nexus 6 on Sprint. When I do receive it, I'll just pop in at Sprint and get a SIM and let them do their thing. Appreciate it!
Edit: Would you by any chance know if Sprint will support VoLTE with the Pure? (In the select markets that it's available?)

Wait, so, the Moto X uses a nano? Google tells me that is what my HTC One M8 has. So I just swap the sim card and I'm good to go?

After reading this thread I checked the SIM card slot in my newly bought Moto X Style. It looks like there are connecting pins for a second SIM card in there. The SIM tray also has, like in the Moto X Play, a second slot which is blocked by a small plastic cover. I attached some photos.
I live in Germany. I did not buy it from motorola.de but from a local hardware vendor (www.cyberport.de) as they were the only ones which had it in stock.
Question is: could I simply flash an Asian or Brasilian ROM and enjoy dual SIM capabilities? Or does it mess up the LTE frequency bands, modem or anything else?
Let me know what you think.
So could You just put there 2 cards and tell us if it works ? Because i am thinking to buy one. And if its dual then super news !
I tested it, doesnt work....
So what about this flashfile _Style_XT1572_CLARK_RETASIA_DS_5.1.1_LPH23.116-18_cid7_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml
Thats retail asian file with "DS", that means dualsim ?
Contacts for second simcard are still there i think

Also here dual SIM hardware present
Just to confirm: I also found 2 blocks in my SIM-tray that are there for both SIM cards (so to support dual sim).
On the moto x play forum someone flashed the Brazilian rom.
He did managed to get it working whith the little plastic cover peeled of.
I also been reading about x play being flashed in some German posts adn working dual sim.

Hello buddy,
COuld you pls let know if you were able to flash the ROM for Pure to make it dual sim.
Waiting for the results of your test as the version here in India is too overpriced and not even customizable like in the US.
Please keep us posted on what happened.

My german is inexistent and after Google translation usage I'm not sure if the problem is related to hardware missing parts for card reading or it's a issue regarding the Asian ROM instalation.
Can someone help, please?
So the Geman guy flashed it and he had software dualsim...but he cant choose the second simcard because the second sim wont regonized.....so he tried with two simcards in each slot but no sucess...only the first sim got regonized...
He tried also to flash the brazil DS Firmware but rsd lite gives error message and end the flashing...
So he ask also for a pic of a play simcard slot, to see if there are diefference in hardware....

Hii... but when did he say that it did not work for him... Waiting on him for a confirmation... But it should work with an asian or brazilian rom flash cuz its only a piece of plastic blocking the 2nd sim card tray... And the good thing is these phones are designed to work in Asia with the support for bands, not all 4G though...

The only way to ensure it's "just" a question of software, is to compare the teardown of a EU version vs a Asian or Brazillian version.
Here you have already a teardown of the pure version. Let's hope someone posts one with the Asian or Brazillian version
Yes, I asked him a question on that video

I asked him if the phone with 2nd sim tray ripped off that plastic piece make it dual sim but he says there needs to be something that can recognize the 2nd sim which is actually missing and maybe needs to be soldered...
Oh and that soldering part seems like a tough task. Or is it not ??
Brazilian version of the Moto X Style is a "clark" variation of the US with place for two SIMs (only one can be used for data internet) and is named XT1572.
I´ve also read (and watched some photos) elsewhere that the US variant doesn´t have the hardware to support two SIMs.
So they have the same outside skin but they are produced differently.

Ok. Then it might be possible to just solder that piece of missing receptor to make the moto X pure as dual sim and then for the software part of the job, flash the phone with a asian rom...

China's Moto X Style(Pure) is also Dual SIM by default
Dear all:
I am on Moto China's official website and went through the specifications. I*looked at Moto site for "Rest of Asia", Hong Kong, and Rest of Europe.
It seems that China is one of very few region which Moto X*Style is dual SIM by default. This is probably not helping you guys very much because default China's ROM doesn't have any Google framework/app on it. I*will ask Moto*China's tech support and see if I*can obtain an official ROM for this dual-SIM phone and at least support English as well.

Yep thanks ... The problem and the question is whether we can buy Moto X Pure from the US and turn it into a dual sim phone ??
P.S : The 2nd sim slot of the Moto X Pure is just covered by a piece of plastic, if we can remove it and insert a 2nd sim. Would it really work or what are the complications.
Thanks

India also has the dual sim variant of Moto X Style but the phone comes in black and white only. Not cuatomizable like in the US
And also i have recently got clues that the Moto X Pure /Style is a lot delicate and many have broken their screens with weak drops.
And really observing that no YouTube or any channel has uploaded a drop test, water test, or any durability test videos of this, it seems like truth, i msged many of the big channels requesting to make that video for durability but non one ever responded, lol, pls tell me the reason if u know guys.
The US gives them a coverage for such accidents but what does the rest of the world do Moto also the irony being that the phone is much more expensive than in the US ??
I have the UK Moto X Style XT1572 and flashed the dual SIM firmware. SIM 1 works and can be used for calls and data but SIM 2 cannot be detected even with a SIM in the slot.
Not sure if this is a software issue or if the Moto X Style doesn't actually have the dual SIM hardware in all the phones. Perhaps the non-dual SIM version is missing the second radio?
If anyone else wants to give it a shot, here's my mirror of the dual SIM firmware: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1ejb0MqRCmAcHFzdnUtbkpIRUE/view?usp=sharing.
Oh ok thats cool you tried but sad that the 2nd sim is not detected. So looks like the issue is with the hardware, can you please post a pic of the inside of the sim and sd card slot so that we ll be able to analyse better and also may i request our frnd from China or anyone with a dual sim version moto x style to post the pic.
Thanks
