Hi I have been really considering getting the RAZR Maxx HD but I see only Verizon has it on lock, wondering if anyone has tried rooting it to make it usable on other carriers?
Somebody was able to modify the RAZR M's radio to work with the Verizon RAZR HD's to use 3G on AT&T and T-Mobile. See below.

THANK YOU!! I was just wondering if it works on the Razr Maxx HD..
^^ WOOOHOOO! Can confirm this works! Currently using it with T-Mobile and in the refarmed area and getting 3G/H+
Droid Razr HD Maxx w/ T-Mobile 3G/H+
Sorry wanted to post pics but forgot last time lol. Use NV Editor and had no problems. Picked up the APN automatically
ive been looking fpr this all day help please
hey man i have the same phone as the pictures u posted, and i really need help getting it to work on the t mobile network and getting atleast decent speeds, do you think you can help me out?
I will post a HowTo for doing the required NV edit for this mod using RadioComm later tonight after work.
This method avoids the need for force loading the QV Diagnostic Port drivers by using Factory boot mode which allows RadioComm full NV read/write access.
How is this possible? I thought cdma phones were incompatible with gsm networks and vice versa?

The RAZR HD [Verizon variant] is considered a 'global phone' and can work around the world as it does have not only CDMA/LTE radios, (check it out on gsm arena as can't recall at the moment) but also GSM/3G/H+ as well. Thing is Verizon is stingy and have blocked it so it will not work in the USA without any issues, but all you have to do it change a fw settings in the radio. Funny they are as they just don't LEARN, the first time, nor the second or any other following time by just letting the phone be unlocked as sooner or later, we will get it unlocked or rooted. *sigh, Verizon*

Hello
i've asked this before, but nobody answered me.
please answer this question :
Motorola Xoom 3g (Not 4g), has a mini-pci-e hardware installed which enables it to operate 2g/3g networks, yes?
i'm outsite us, and i'm not a verizon customer.
but i have a MZ600 xoom , verizon branded, but not 4g upgraded (because i'm outside US)
i want to be able to use my simcard for 2g/3g networks for sms and gprs
but mine is not upgraded and as i know, it hasnt requeired hardware
now my question is, can i buy the mini-pci-e hardware installed on 3g xooms and install it on my xoom to operate my sim card? (as i found from other topics, 3g uk xooms can operate sim card for 2g/3g networks, sms/gprs)
is it possible or not? i want to use my 2g sim card for gprs
where can i buy a mini-pci-e gsm modem that works with xoom?
i'm really confused.
please help me.

sorry, but didnt understand what you mean!
please somebody tell me, how can use my mz600 for gprs
Look trough this thread, initially it concerns a slightly different request but it provides a wealth of info regarding that slot and which components Motorola used. And after page 4 some people have the same request as yourself but there is no definitive answer yet.
Anyway, have a look:

thanks for your reply,
i've seen it before, but nobody know the card installed on 3g motorola xoom
and nobody found a card that motorola xoom can recognize it and operate it
just found this www.roundsolutions.com/shop/en/OEM-GSM-GPS-Solutions/HSPA-Modem/HSPA-mini-PCI-Modem
has android drivers!
Friend gave me a Verizon Galaxy SIII to play with, I have T-Mobile. Has anyone played with this yet? I know it was possible with the Droid Bionic and my old standby Droid 2 Global, so I'm wondering if it's a similar deal here, where every source in the world says it doesn't work and then someone gets it to work. I'm kinda wondering why no one seems to have tried yet...

Hi. It working with T-Mobile. You need to install PhoneInfo for switching phone in GSM-mode. But You can't 3G/HSPA+/EDGE/GPRS on GSM. sorry. yet...
Did you ever get this to work? I have a bionic also and would like to put that on straight talk or go network as art has much better coverage here.

First of all, sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum or if it has been asked somewhere already, but I was not able to find it anywhere though Google and searching through this site.
Anyways, I was wondering if it is possible to fully and effectively unlock a AT&T S3 to use on the VZW network. I know vzw has a secured cdma network that only allows approved devices but with all the great devs out there, is there some wah to do it? Thanks for any input !

I don't think you can do that as Verizon uses different lte bands and two its cdma network even tho it uses a sim! I could be wrong but I know it can only work the other way round but thats only on 3G tho

I have the same problem except the other way around...I want to convert a Verizon one to att. I already flashed a AT&T rom and have working voice and data, but only 2g which is so slow, I don't even remember how I lived with it. I'm thinking of just buying a motherboard from the att one and sticking it in my Verizon one. Does anyone know if the motherboard has the part I need for the radios, or is the radio separate?
Sounds easier to try to do a trade on Craigslist or something.

I've also running on EDGE connection, which is horrid, but livable. Due to thaat I'm running a T-Mobile network on a Verizon S3.
Simple question really...anyone know?

All the same. I think I saw ultra confirmed.
4G works on T-Mobile. From what I understand, it will not work on AT&T. You will only get 3G connections.

That's fine, all I want or need is hspa speeds. I'm not in a tmobile refarmed area so I am guessing at&t is my best bet.
Maxx on aio (att) wireless gets h and h+. I get a Sim warning at every boot but other than that it works fine
I can confirm the MAXX works on HSPA+ on AT&T just fine. No SIM warning. So the Mini will be good to go.

Well I can answer the question about T-Mobile myself now, it works just fine with LTE disabled and that's all I needed. I've actually already moved to a droid maxx and it works fine as well. Time to move over to aio this next week and try them out.

I have a Razr HD MAXX with an unlocked bootloader, and I've done the NV edit so that it works on US GSM networks (AT&T, T-Mobile, etc.).
When it's running a stock rom, all I have to do to get onto T-Mobile is go under network settings and select 'GSM/UMTS', and bam I'm connected getting great speeds. With every 4.4 rom I've tried, there are WAY more options under network settings including probably 8 options that contain GSM in one way or another, but after going through every option on the list and then turning airplane mode on/off, not a single one gives me any signal whatsoever, let alone a data connection.
There are a couple GSM options that let me search for network providers, and it finds T-Mobile and AT&T, but then selecting T-Mobile just hangs on a screen that says 'registering with T-Mobile' (what??) and eventually that times out and I still have no connection.
Sorry if this is a simple or common issue, but I haven't seen anyone else mention this on the newer roms so I'm worried it's just me.
Retack my man, I am going through the same thing with these unified builds. I've been using slimkat because they have yet to unify the moto builds. I too would very much love to be able to use some of these unified builds like PA but I can't get T-Mobile to work on them. Apparently it's because the roms are detecting the XT926 board and therefore writing the build prop for an XT926 when we need them configured for the XT925.

You may have already researched that further, but shouldn't setting it to "global" mode work for all variations? I have an XT925, and the first unified builds didn't work at all for me on GSM networks, but meanwhile, the "global" settings works great..

Patch for GSM
I don't if it will help but I found this patch online when I was having trouble with GSM networks abroad. Don't know if it did anything but wouldn't hurt I suppose. http://www.internauta37.altervista.org/how-and-patch-fully-enable-gsm-verizon-cdma-phones-android
Which CM11 build have you tried?
GSM should work on xt926 since this commit (made on March 7): https://github.com/CyanogenMod/andr...mmit/fad5403b62cd976f9aa8dbe14f51d0f08b1705df

I wish it would but setting it to global doesn't work. I too am using the RAZR Maxx HD with a T-Mobile Sim. I'm currently on slimkat XT925 version cause its the only thing that works.
