Unlock?
Sent from my R800i using XDA Premium App

You can unlock a phone online pretty easily, not sure if this works for international models but I go to www.fonefunshop.co.uk
That should allow you to unlock it, if not just google phone unlock and your network

[Q] Razr M for gsm usage outside US

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

I flashed the XT905 aussie rom as well

he says he talked to vzn and they have opened a ticket about the said handset , he even told me that he sent a paper to vzn after signing it
so may be after all they will unlock it

4G depends on your telecom supplier. If they have 4G your phone will automatically use 4G. There is no setting for it.

1. Install Kies 3 and plug in your device to your pc.
2. What is your CSC? Add me one screenshot pls like the pic attached.

1- No need to install Kies or PC. Use Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app right on your phone to obtain all important info about your device, including your CSC.
2- You cannot enable LTE option without rooting. If you have root, I will show you how to enable it.

Does 4g option work fine?
Do you have 4g signal reception?

4g lte optiop is on in network settings now but no 4g coverage in my area yet. Will try in 4g coverage area and then inform you. Your 4g working? And which area?

I'm in the same boat I have activated LTE option but there is no 4G coverage in my country yet.
If you have any news, please let me know. TIA.

There's usually a very basic reason for 4G not showing up as a selection.
A. The SIM is old. Get a new one. This is by far the most common cause.
B. 4G is relatively new for your provider, and it hasn't been enabled in the firmware for your specific provider yet. Flash another CSC or wait for the next update. (funnily enough it is often enabled in another country. DBT Germany had T-Mobile Netherlands enabled for 4G before the 4G network itself was active. Freaked people the hell out at T-Mobile NL HQ when I had 4G and they didn't.)
C. You're using the wrong CSC. In the EU a lot of independent shops sell imported devices. We get a lot of XEF users that can't run 4G in the Netherlands. Simple flashing is sufficient, as with B.
I know you got it working by rooting. Just putting this out there as a basic steps for those who don't want to root. (bit of a shame if you do trip KNOX and it turns out to just be an old simcard.)

I am using warid 4g enabled sim card but warid is currently testing its 4g so its not available in my area yet.waiting for reception.

4g is working fine on my note 3. Checked in 4g reception area.

[Q] sn - n9005, 4g not showing even with the 4g sim

sn - n9005, 4g symbol is not showing on the device even though i have a 4g sim.
the service providers said it works on 1800 or something .
is that the problem.
even in the setting i dont see the 4g lte option.
any suggestions

@hammadq if you dont have LTE option in network modes.
You need root to enable the option.
I have n9005 and I also had to do this to enable LTE.

@thahim Thanks for the reply, could you guide me how to root my note 3. I am new to this.
Thanks!

Alternatively you can flash the firmware from your region that does support 4G for your provider. This isn't always the same as the one for your country or even your provider.
(For instance, I have DBT German Unbranded. When T-Mobile Netherlands enabled 4G, it had to be enabled in the PHN (NL Unbranded) and TNL (T-Mobile NL) versions via an update from Samsung. My German version already had TNL 4G enabled by default.)
But if you're outside Europe that may not be an option.
