hi can anyone educate me how can this phone be used outside US , specifically in Asia with local gsm carriers .
the phone will be used there in INDIA .
any help would be appreciated.
god bless
regards
PS : i read quite many threads , but its all about getting it to work with ATT and Tmo , bit nothing about getting it gsm unlocked internationally.
nyone ?
someone must be having some clue !!!
plz help
i think i remember something about calling vzw to have them unlock it to use any sim outside the us, but i cant remember where i read it
yeah , not possible as the phone is out of the country now
I use a XT907 in Australia. On stock rom, GSM works fine for reception but you will have to delete or freeze a service to get MMS working. I figured this out the hard way.
On CM/AOSP or anything not stock, simply flashing a GSMfix zip file located here in one the threads has worked for me always. Im currently running CM 10.1 with excellent reception and eveything works beautifully.
So YES the XT907 will work on GSM networks outside the US. It not NOT locked. Hope that helps.
No mate it seems in newer phones it is locked.
I even tried the nv zero out method, it still doesn't work, in status it shows the network name but finest latch onto the signal bars at all.
And as the phone isn't in us, it's upto the seller to talk to eruzin to get it Internationally unlocked.
sent from my NOTE II, yupp size does matter.
I called up VZN and they told me the phone is unlocked for gsm usage already
but i just am not able to get it to work on gsm outside of US
is there a way , otherwise i am gonna have to dispose it off
anyone ?

The Droid Razr M is SIM unlocked. You can verify this by going to Security>>Set Up SIM/RUIM card lock. There is prompt there to Lock you SIM card, therefore it is by default, unlocked.
Outside the US you can purchase a GSM SIM card from a local provider and pop it in your phone.

Thats correct.
But the sim lock option appears only when the 4g sim from vzn is inside.
When you insert any Other gsm sim, there is no such option and unlike other razr m phones, my phone just picks up gsm signals for a split second and then again it starts to show no signal bars.
I have tried many gsm sims, it's all the same with them, I switched the network to gsm/umts as well each time.
I have even tried the radio comm method of unlocking us gsm still it doesn't help.
I would appreciate any input.
I bought this phone as i loke it a lot.

If you thoroughly search this forum you will find posts from numerous users who have success used local SIM cards in India and Europe. If this doesn't work for you then there's a problem with your phone.
Good luck

So I got a Droid Pro off contract and unlocked it myself, and I'm currently using it in Kuwait on a local SIM card that has a data plan subscription. I've used this SIM on other Android devices so i confirm that 1) The data plan is OK and 2) I have the correct APN settings.
Now on my Pro I can't get any data connectivity. After much searching I decided that the problem is with the baseband, as I read on many sites that sometimes a baseband version will give better connectivity over another baseband in certain areas, and in some cases people didn't have any data connectivity at all until they updated their baseband.
So my questions are:
Can I confirm its a baseband issue? Or do I have to try to confirm?
How can I update the baseband?
Which baseband version should I use?
I'm running stock Pro with baseband n_01.53.07p, and the Select Radio band menu shows only USA Band, which clearly isn't helping!
It's not your baseband. You need to go to settings -> wireless + network settings -> mobile networks -> access point names
have the provider manually add the APN info since it's not automatically detected with this phone for some reason. had to go through the same thing here in thailand. (required phone reboot as well)
n_01.53.07p is not as stable for who uses this phone outside US as n_01.53.00R which is the original baseband version in stock rom(2.26.2).
I will not accept 2.26.60 update until the next release one.

Really? I can't recall whether I tried to establish a data connection using the pre-update version or not. I'll flash the SBF & do a factory reset and let you know.
Hi refeee2
I maybe mislead you for the baseband version issue.
I'll change the sim card of another carrier for further testing.

No problem.
I've already rolled back to 2.26.20, and still no data.
I've contacted Motorola/Verizon about this and I'm waiting for their reply.
Hi refeee2
It's sim card issue.
My carrier relaced one for me, the phone works fine with both baseband version.

Raphael,
That SIM card that you say had a problem, did you use it on any other phones?
Seeking experts' knowledge here:
Is it possible to take the baseband files off a Euro Milestone 2 and run them on the Pro? Obviously I don't need CDMA connectivity, I just need to test alternate basebands for my GSM radio. Choose the Milestone2 cause it's running on the same chipset.
Hi,
I successfully rooted my Nexus S 4G and flash it with with the gingerbread-ns4g-deck.
Everything worked fine so far. Mod looks great.
But I do not get any network service after the flash. It seems the phone is not recognizing the SIM card at all. Normally it asked for the PIN number after a reboot.
Now it doesn't. Also I have no option to choose a network manually.
I tried flashing different basebands (radios) and kernels.
Still no chance.
Thanks for your help! I live in Germany and have a Vodafone contract by the way.
All the best
GB
Nobody with an idea on this one?
Is there by chance an option where I can activate the SIM through entering my PIN number?
What should I do (install) to at least go back to the original firmware?
Thanks in advance.

No problem man. It's pretty hard to brick these phones, I've even seen someone flash a CDMA radio on a GSM but they still fixed it... not that I suggest doing that!
Hello my friends,
i was in vacation and a I bought a unlocked atrix 4g. My phone have AT&T logo at the back but it is unlocked for any GSM carrier.
OK ! I returned to Brazil and now i want install the homebase ROM.
My doubt is ..... which kind of ROM should I use ? International or AT&T ? I dont know which group my phone belongs. Because it's unlocked but he has the AT&T ROM.
Thanks for the support.
So it is an at&t phone right?
Lets try to find The logical thing to do here...
Its an at&t phone with at&t ROM... Uhm What do you think?
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Thanks for your reply.
Yeah, following the logical though I need install the AT&T ROM. But my doubt is:
The cellphone is unlocked and I use it with other GSM carrier than AT&T. If I install the home base ROM for AT&T smarthphones there is some risk to have my phone Locked again to AT&T carrier ? Or, for the reason I have a unlocked cellphone and use it in international area, I should install the international ROM ?
Thanks for your attention
I own an unlocked at&t atrix with my carrier in México wich is Telcel. With an at&t ROM. No problem at all.
Doesnt lock again
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
The phone won't be locked again once it's carrier-unlocked (sim unlocked).
It's totally unrelated to the ROM you use for your phone. You can install any ROM you like on your phone. This is from my own experience.

Hello guys as you guys may have heard from other sources the moto X first gen is sim locked by the firmware I can unlock them as long as I can get a nv dump from the phones an a nv dump from a unlocked version (example dev edition or one that has be on taken in store an unlocked) if I can get the nv dumps I can compare them an provide a easy unlock I have the US cellular version on 4.4.2
If you post a nv dump post it like this
@(mytag) (carrier) (android version) attachment
I'll post a tool to use an instructions on how to dump it
My Moto X was never SIM locked. Where are you getting your information?
@afox27 Your thread title might be a little misleading since...
The Verizon XT1060, and the GSM XT1053 are Sim unlocked out of the box.
The ATT and Rogers XT1058 are SIM unlockable by getting the code from the carrier (might have to meet their criteria), or by purchasing from one of many online retailers that sell SIM unlock codes.
I believe the XT1052 in Asia and Europe is also SIM unlocked out of the box.
The Sprint XT1056 and Republic Wireless XT1049 can be sim unlocked via the steps/process posted in -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-success-sim-unlock-sprint-xt1056-t2825155
As for the US Cellular XT1055, and the Regional XT1050, well, those I am not sure about. So if you have a way that works for them which is different, cool! Please expand on what is needed!!

The xt1055 isn't simlocked I have one an took it in to be sim unlocked. Well.

That's very interesting. So, flash AT&T's OS, for example, and it'll work. That's what you meant by another carrier's system?

Yes. Ik it works with T-Mobile. Awhile back some ones gf had a xt1055 on T-Mobile. Verizon should work. To. But. Funny thing is you don't need a sim card for Verizon. I'm. Right now experimenting with the xt1042 aka moto g 4glte. I will confirm this here in a bit for the xt1055. Or. You could. Root your phone. An get a APN editor. An try that.

Ok, so unlocked the bootloader, flashed the 4.4.3 Tmobile image, and rooted the phone. I didn't have a nano sim to test with, but it could see AT&T's network. I'm hoping that means that it'll work on GSM networks overseas, since my brother is going to the UK. Thanks so much!

Lots of people have had success unlocking their on contract and NEXT devices by using the online portal. I was able to get 2 on contract iPhones unlocked by submitting a request. The first went through no issues, the second took about 40 tries and I had to do it as a GoPhone even though it wasn't. Human error I am sure but idc I got the devices unlocked.
https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/#/
I think for the on contract phones that are w/in like 60 or 90 days of the onset of their contract, they get automatic denials. But everyone else is reviewed by a human and if you submit enough requests, you eventually get an unlock.
Hey!
Im going to buy a used XT907 in a while. As I understand, its a CDMA phone, network locked to Verizon.
Can I unlock it somehow to run it on my GSM carriers network?
I've checked the network bands and the XT907 supports all the 2G and 3G used by my operator.
And what about unlocking the bootloader?
I saw a thread on XDA which said the bootloader couldn't be unlocked if the phone had installed the latest OTA - by that I understand that it cant be unlocked if its on Kitkat.
Any workarounds for that?

1. No need to unlock! XT907 network lock is only restricted to local US GSM Operators. So use any network provider with your RAZR M. BTW I'm using Ufone.
2. Bootloader can only be unlocked using exploit if the firmware version is 183.46.10 and not 183.46.15. However, if .15, you can unlock bootloader by finding a Sigma Retailer in your area but that will cost money (Rs. 500).

Actually there is a need to unlock. My girlfriends phone would not work with straight talk at&t until we used radiocomm to unlock it. I've actually never heard of being able to use this phone on a gsm network without some nv editing.
