i need to unlock lte 1800 band (as available in xt905), so i need modded xt905 Aussie NON-HLOS to flash on my xt907 (cm11 kk bootloader)
can any one please share it... existing dropbox and google drive links are not working...
I wouldn't try this as it will brick the phone. Reason: different Trustzone signatures. There are / were peoples attempting to flash different NON-HLOS modem BIOS for the particular RAZR M (for example, XT907 NON-HLOS onto XT901. The result is pretty obvious: dead as a doornail). I am researching on RAZR M unbricking and I can pretty much tell you mucking around with the BIOS (bootloader) is a big NO-NO.
I guess you can flash the complete XT905 firmware on the XT907. It did work for me and even the modem does work for GSM (no idea about LTE or CDMA though). It's just, that there is still no KitKat available, so a CM jbbl version would be needed.
I suppose you can - just have to have some confirmation so you can be sure you won't brick the phone you spent the hard-earned money on.

thanks alot,
is this the version that i should flash? and since im currently running cm 11 on kitkatbootloader does it support downgrade to this stock?
9.8.2Q_SMUIRD-7_SEMEAUnlk_USAXT90501TLSTRAE1019.0R_SMJBLTEAURETAIL_P008_A014_1FF_fb.xml
I don't know about the version number. I was on the first VZW KitKat (*.10) and flashed the latest available Aussie firmware which still is 98.21.7 (Build 9.8.2Q_SMUIRD-7) dated Jan 9, 2013.
As long as you have an unlocked bootloader, you can downgrade to JB. There are just some lines in the XML that have to be removed (GPT, TZ, and maybe something else if it fails - the usual procedure for downgrading).
Here are the official CM11 builds for JB bootloader, most likely there won't be any for CM12.
Edit: I was wrong about CM12 for JBBL. Obviously there will be builds for this older bootloader too.

Hi guys,
Since Cyanogenmod needs your phone to have stock firmware prior to 9.18.79 (which is JB) I've found that the Razr M that's available in Australia (XT905) comes preloaded with JB, and thus I'm wondering if there's a way to revert the phone from JB to ICS in order to unlock the bootloader because apparently the bootloader in JB is patched or something, meaning it can't be unlocked.
I found this link http://www.phonearena.com/news/How-...-M-back-to-stock-ICS-from-the-JB-leak_id35580 but since it's for the Verizon version of the phone and I'm in Australia I was wondering if this method would work for the XT905 version of the phone and if so, does anyone have the stock firmware for the phone as well?
Thanks

Most likely no. With the xt907's, if you do manage to go back you find that you didn't flash the old bootloader. So it's still not hackable. Currently it is possible to unlock the bootloader on xt907's by UPgrading to the new KitKat release, rooting with towelroot and then you can use the old bootloader hack to unlock.
So your question now turns into, "can you RSD a 907 image onto a 905?" I don't know or have a 905 so I'll let you do the searches. I'd guess flashing the radio from a 907 could lead to a brick, but maybe you only flash part. The signing keys might be different so you'll be hosed.
If you can flash the whole thing, you're gold.
If you can flash everything but the radio, and KitKat will boot with the old radio, (even if you won't get a signal) then do that. I bet nobody knows the answer to this yet. KK might not work, or the new bootloader will think the radio image is unsigned and croak. At this point you're probably bricked until the 905's get KK because you can't downgrade the bootloader.
If KK won't boot with the old radio, will the new bootloader accept the signing keys from the old stuff? Probably not, but if it did, you can replace only the bootloader and then unlock.

How to upgrade just the bootloader of a phone?
There is no official 3.4 kernel for RAZR M XT905 (Australian), so i tried to flash fxz of XT907 (.15 version)
I flashed all the files except system,modem and partition. Then I installed KKBL TWRP and it did worked. But it was not letting me install the new KKBL ROMS due to different value return in ro.secure.hardware, so I had to remove this line from updater-script.
The new rom installed and booted, but what showing System UI has stopped working constantly, this was solved by updating the modem as well. But the XT907 modem doesnot supports XT905 properly (very low signal strength, no network registration).
I hit the wall there, anyone else knows the proper way to achieve this? Can we mod the modem or firmware? Or can the Lollipop firmware be compiled for old kernel.? Are sbl1,sbl2,sbl3 only necessary bootloader files. What is the function of other files.
P.S Now BlissPop i sshowing Setup Wizard has stopped working. Any way out?
Well i just installed BlissPop nightly for JBBL and it is working
Yes, the bootloader has to be compatible with the modem and that's why you won't be able to use a JB modem with a KK bootloader in most cases.
But the KitKat rollout for the Aussie XT925 (Razr HD) has just started this week (it's 180.46.127) and since both phones' software is very similar, I guess KitKat for XT905 is just around the corner.
Hey guys, I've recently inherited a relatively unused xt907 vzw that I plan to use when travelling. It was still running ICS when I got hold of it. I'm currently unlocked and rooted and running the latest nightly build for jbbl. As it seems like support is ending for jjbl roms, I'd like to update the bootloader (but remain unlocked and rooted) so I can put lollipop on this phone. Having only used Samsung phones before, I'm a bit of a moto noob, so any help or advice would be appreciated.
I suspect I need to use RSD lite to flash the .10 baseband firmware, right? I'm aware of the issues with .15.
If it matters, my current baseband version is SM_BP_101032.021.32.80P
Thanks in advance.
Since your bootloader is unlocked - you can flash whichever firmware you want with RSDLite. If you want the KKBL, you will need to flash either the .10 or .15 Razr M KitKat firmware or even the .10 luge KitKat firmware - your choice.

Thanks a lot, ATTACK. Is there one in particular you'd reccommend (or reccommend avoiding)?

Flash the .10 Razr M firmware (KDA20.62-10.1).
Head here > http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr-m/general/guide-faq-how-to-root-boot-unlock-t2869432
Thanks again, ATTACK, this worked great I've got CM12 up and running. I had to install a CM11 4.4 build before CM12 because of bootlooping (tried multiple recoveries and CM 12 nightlies).
So in case anyone else comes across this: KDA20.62-10.1->CM 11->CM 12. Works like a charm.
Hi All,
I am looking for a KitKat based SBF for an Australian (Telstra) XT905.
If anybody is in a position to upload / share such an SBF that would be awesome!
Alternatively would it be possible to use an SBF from a different carrier, e.g.: Verizon, and then downgrade to the JB SBF that is already available.
My kernel is stuck at KK, but everything else is JB > this occurred because I used OTA updates (to KK) before 'zigging instead of zagging', long story short I just need to install some form of KK onto my XT905 (even if that means downgrading later!).
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo

I've flashed and root several android phones before and this time I kind a messed up, trying to flash the Enoxys version of the Android 7.1 onto my N900W8 (turns out it was Snapdragon? which. I was able to flash TWRP on the phone and when I try to flash the actual ROM on it, it failed at partitioning the data in ext4. I can probably grab a stock rom (although most of the links are dead now) and flash over it.
My questions:
Does anyone still have the N900 LTE modem that can be flash on N900W8?
Has anyone able to flash the US/Canada varian straight to international version?
Most of the links that I found on the forum for stock firmware had been dead, is there a current "up-to-date" spot to grab the firmware for this old phone?
