razr m - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am a total newbee and i probably spelled that wrong but i have a Verizon Motorola RAZR M and I have a working Tmobile SIM card which i am trying to setup for a friend. I used Radio Com to edit it and set it up for Tmobile access per the instructions i got on this site. It does not recognize the sim card and sees no network. Do I need to root it? Any help appreciated.

Do you have the sim card in correctly? If yes have you turned it on then off?

yes i have rebooted.

Thanks, maybe a last question, If i flash my phone Using RSD lite will it Sim lock for Verizon Only? Mine is a Sim unlocked (Verizon Native) version, i use the phone in SouthAmerica.
Sorry if it is a dumb question, but better be sure

What are the bands used for GSM by your carrier?
The phone is factory SIM unlocked, meaning that it will accept any SIM, but if the bands for your carrier are the same as US GSM, you need to use the method here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166542 to open up those bands...
Also, if you haven't already, you'll want to edit your build.prop for GSM use. I'm probably gonna write up a guide on how to do it here eventually so I have an easy link to point to.
Also, FWIW, you won't really get an improvement on stock if you're having connection problems. If anything, stock will lock you down more because Verizon is annoying...

The GSM band used by my Carrier (Virgin Mobile Chile) is GSM 1900, also i've never edited build.prop since the last time i did for illusion ROM and it didnt work, giving me a softbrick.
The problem i'm having right now is the DialPad, it wont work at all in calls, in any Custom ROM i've installed so far... i dont know what am i doing wrong? since i dont see that bug very often over here

wait... what do you mean by dialpad?
Do you mean the dialpad that you can access in-call? Like to "press 1 to continue"?
There should be a button on the bottom-right to access that... just tap it and it will appear

haha yeah i know that, the thing is i can tap them all and nothing will happen, for example: press 1 to access your account ... then i press 1, and nothing... i can actually spam numbers and nothing, its like pressing nothing at all even when i cant literally have my screen full of numbers actually dialed.
I hope u can understand my explanation

If so use keys to get to bootloader & select recovery.

AT&T Galaxy S4 boot loader help

Trying to switch my Galaxy s4 (at&t) to straight talk service. I love downgraded to mk2 and rooted /
Super User as well as Safe Strap. I'm on mk2 now and just got my wifi working. I don't know how to unlock the boot loader or what but it's in the stock slot. I messed up the default but I just want to be able to switch to straight talk.

Ended up switching to a t mobile sim card. I figured since it's a att phone to use the att sim card.. but I tried the t mobile and getting some service but very little. ST is telling me a tower near me is down to give it 24 hours but I feel that's a goose chase lol I've used a t mobile sim card in the exact spot I'm in and worked fine. It was in the note 2 from Verizon fully unlocked though.

Well they told me a tower was down for t mobile yesterday and they said 24 hours and it's still not hardly working. I can only use my gs4 on my couch with my hand near the window. About to call them and get I in their butt. It's not my phone is the apn settings or something on the ST end. Will update after this long as call
Unless I am mistaken the apn has zero to do with reception. Apn's are for your mms/data access. I have never come across a phone where the apn had any effect on the actual cellular signal.

depends if u need your MSL
to root you 1st need to unlock the bootloader via htcdev.com
after unlocking bootloader, you need to flash TWRP from download mode
boot into TWRP to flash either Magisk (my preference) or SuperSU

HTC Bolt SIM-Unlock
I followed the steps from the instructions and was able to SIM-Unlock the phone.
Also, performed UICC unlock in Software Updates after I paid off the phone.
I tested it with a friend's T-Mobile SIM and worked flawlessly.
Also tested with another friend's AT&T SIM and again worked flawlessly.
I have since switched to Verizon and found out that it will not work on Verizon, so I decided to sell it.
Sold it on eBay and now the guy who purchased it says he is getting the following error :
"GSM/UMTS Mode not supported in the U.S. Only foreign SIM card usable in device. Your device will switch to CDMA mode now."
When I google this error, everything I find is for older HTC devices, and these posts are back from 2011.
Has anyone come across this, or do you think this guy is trying to pull a fast one on me?
Again, I know for a fact it is unlocked and will work on AT&T but he says it is still SIM-Locked, and says the MSL code I gave him is incorrect.
Pretty sure a phone cannot re-lock itself.. am I wrong?

[Guide] GSM unlock for Sprint LG G5

Unlocking the LG G5 Sprint model! ​
First and foremost thank @vittger over in this thread where the method was posted - HERE
Reason I am making this Guide/post is it seems like even though its been posted, theres not a thread for it and some miss the actual method of doing it.
I haven't tested or seen it tested on any OS below Android 7.0 so it may not work unless you've updated.
1. Download this APK - HERE
2.Install the APK
3 Open the App
4. Scroll down & Select IOT(CDG2)
5.Select LTE setting,Select Operation Mode, Then Select Lab Network
6. Device will reboot, Then go back to step 3,4, and 5, and the option Band25 make sure its enabled. scroll down to LTE Data roam config, and enable all the bands towards the bottom in that menu as well.
7. Go back to the Hidden menu APK main menu, ModemProtocol, RAT Selection, then choose GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto
8. Reboot and you should be good to go!
9. You now have you Sprint LG G5 LS992 GSM unlocked for both US and international GSM carriers
To Add your APN (for data):
Go to, The hidden menu APK, IOT(CDG2), LTE Settings,
APN settings and then add your APN for your carrier
Remember you'll need to set APN type to "default" and
authentication type to "None" or else it wont work
Tested and working with AT&T 3G/HSPA,4G/LTE And T-Mobile​ 2G/4G/LTE working perfectly fine in the USA. Also tested with a GiffGaff UK sim roaming in the US.
This method also works with the LG V20 and LG Tribute HD so it may work on other LG devices.
Having an issue with it stop working?
Disable your screen lock. No password/swipe to unlock/fingerprints - Having a password seems to be an issue with this method.
Here's a quick YouTube video I made,

Just dial ##RTN and enter your SPC code, which will reset your device. If you need your SPC code Give Sprint your IMEI and they can provide it.
Thanks,
RTN would do a reset of all sw or just the provisioning/network/sim setup?

This has never happened to me. Only way I can see it happening is unless your phone had an update, or something Sprint wise is doing something. Did you do a FULL reset before doing so? As in ##RTN#? Where it wipes all the Sprint carrier config etc?

Help unlocking a phone

So a friend gave me a free smart phone for my birthday so I could play pokemon go. Its a Samsung galaxy core prime, a Trac fone version. My current phone is an LG Cosmos 2. My problem is apparently the phone is locked from accepting my Verizon plan so I can't switch my number over. Verizon gave me a new SIM card for it. The phone reads it's there, but when I tried to switch my number it wouldn't activate. Verizon said it's because it was a pre paid and hadn't been on long enough to unlock it fully. Is there any work around so I can unlock it and use it on my Verizon account? I am having issues with the back up assistant on my LG Cosmos. Its ttached to my old number and won't switch. So none of my numbers will back up. Which means switching them to my new phone won't work. Thank you to anyone who can help.
Well I guess no one knows.
Try reinstalling your rom. Download your rom (details are in -settings -about phone) the put your phone into recovery and flash the rom using odin.

Okay after that do I call Verizon and ask them to transfer the number? Should I remove my SIM card while doing this?

Okay I realise that. If it doesn't should I try again or is it a one and done deal? Will this hurt my phone (brick it) or the computer?

It can brick your phone if you have an old odin version or the wrong rom.. and just try it one time.. maybe backup your data with Kies.exe to be save
