Hi,i just get my droid razr maxx HD two days ago,and i can use my local operator,'m live at indonesia ,have you try to set the the network to GSM/UMTS ?
XT926 WILL NOT WORK ON A GSM NETWORK. It is built with a CDMA radio, that's hardware. You need an xt925, which is built with the GSM radio in order to use a GSM network. There is no software changes that you could make to change a CDMA phone into a GSM one. Sorry.

No. Its a global phone. It in fact has the GSM radios built into it. And others have had success with using it on GSM networks.
For example this thread shows how to make it work with us GSM carriers:

Yeah your incorrect on that one lol.

This question comes up A LOT. You could do a search in either the RAZR HD forums or the RAZR M forums to find the answer. The phone is a global phone, it has a SIM card and it works on GSM networks outside the US. There's a lot of misinformation floating around with people, like hte poster above, screaming about it being CDMA and not working globally... this is simply not true. I have been to Australia with this thing, it works fine.
The problem that others have found is that because India uses CDMA there's some logic burned into the phone that locks it to Verizon and their partner carrier whilst in India. Unfortunately, there is no known workaround that I have found. Some people have tried things with RadioComm, including the GSM unlock which allows the HD to be used on US GSM carriers (ATT/TMo). I haven't seen anything to indicate that this fix also fixes the phone so it can be used in Inida.
Sorry for the bad news...

Hi. I've successfully being using the razr maxx HD in India . Earlier me to face similar problem as you for not be able to use this phone. However with the OTA ver .16 update, the phone automatically started to work on the Indian sims and since then its no looking back.
Why don't you flash the latest current stock rom update which I think is v.18 .
I believe you should have no problems

Doesnt matter for customruu...GSM ones work in CDMA.
Have u hard-spl your TP2? Hard-spl is a MUST if u wanna flash custom ROM. If I'm not wrong, T-mobile is GSM version. I use TP2 Sprint which is CDMA/GSM. I use GSM mainly in Indonesia.

If you bought a T-Mobile branded phone it is referred to as a "GSM" version.
You can tell which version you have either by the carrier branding, the model number or a conbination of both.
EVERY SINGLE TOUCH PRO 2 HAS A SIM CARD.
and EVERY SINGLE TOUCH PRO 2 HAS A QUALCOMM CMDA MSM CHIP.
Why? Because "3G" GSM isn't really "GSM." It's WCDMA (otherwise known as UMTS or a HSPA variant). And Qualcomm makes the CPU chip which drives the system.
So what you're seeing is 100% normal. Both the "GSM" and "CDMA" TP2s have Qualcomm CDMA CPUs inside.
thanx

Why does it say everywhere else not to flash a GSM rom on your CDMA device? If both were the same phone, then wouldn't the custom ROMS be shared together and not segregated into a Custom CDMA ROM forum? I know that I can hold a GSM (Tmobile) and a WCDMA (Sprint) Touch Pro 2 side by side, and they are not identical, though they could have the same chipset.
I would double check that information about running custom roms for GSM on CDMA...Every post I see about it, is from people who did it, then think their phone is bricked until they flash a CDMA rom onto it.

ROM for GSM only & CDMA/GSM is different! Including the splash screen is different too. U can't interchange them, could brick ur device. Several people have bricked their TP2 cos wrong ROM. If u wanna plenty of CDMA/GSM custom ROM, just visit www.ppcgeeks.com. This xda-developers mainly on GSM only ROM.

did you find a Hard SPL for your Tmobile phone?
and yes tmobile is GSM, yu can look at the back of the phone, take off the battery and yu will see a model number R210 which means its GSM
This is by far the strangest problem I'm facing with my Nexus S
I've two SIM cards from two different networks. one is GSM 900 and anothe is GSM 1800
Both the SIMs are perfectly ok and functioning very well in my Nokia X2.
But one of the SIMs (GSM 900) is not getting any network in my Nexus S.
Interestingly I've been using this very SIM (GSM 900) in my nexus for last one month.
Just to give a background, I'm facing this problem when I flashed the latest 2.3.7 stock ROM.
I tried flashing other ROMs aswell...Currenyly I'm on MIUI...but no Luck ! And Yes, the Other SIM is working absolutely fine with my Nexus and fine with both the ROMS !
Please Help !
If I'm not mistaken I believe 2.3.7 is an update for nexus s 4g models only and not GSM. That is a very good chance as to why your network doesn't work.

But it was Getting network. And My other SIM is getting network in that OS.
BTW, I've flashed a different ROM (MIUI)....No luck with the new ROM...
frequency base band problems perhaps ?
Yes, its Reading 1800 SIMs but not 900 SIMS.
all what you said so far indicates that the problem was caused by the new binary.
it seems the hardware is working fine.
what is the software version of your phone?
download an official version of Nexus S and you'll be fine.
tell me what you see in the "about phone"
Android Version: 2.3.5
Baseband Version: I9020XXKD1
Currently I'm in MIUI. Searching for the official version of 2.3.4

2.3.7 is for the cdma nexus s 4g not a GSM model. Try reflashing the correct radios for your phone.

I've tried Flashing Radios. But Yet its the same scenario !
Getting network with a GSM 1800 sim. Not with GSM 900 SIM (Unfortunately this is my official number)
Can anyone suggest the exact stock ROM for my sns. I tried to search here in XDA, but not finding the exact one.
the sticker in back says my SNS model is GT-I9020
Some files may stuck in /system partition when you flash something, and good idea is to format /system from CWM recovery (you can find it under mounts and storage section) and flash rooted flash rom from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664.
It's always a bad thing to flash something that is not meant for your device.
Formating /system before you flash stock rom. Hope that could fix your problem too, but I'm not sure . Just a suggestion ...

I've flashed this from Google
http://android.clients.google.com/p...206299fe6.signed-soju-ota-121341.da820629.zip
Now my about phone looks like this :
Androd Version : 2.3.6
Baseband: I9020AUCKF1
Build No. GRk39C
Yet, its not getting network.
Should I take it that I've lost my Nexus.
Thanks for you reply Tenhi.
I tried formating Everything ! and also Flashed the Stcok ROM (NSGSM-GRJ22-deodexed-KD1-rooted)
But no Luck.
Interestingly, today I found that the set is getting network in Some places, mostly where the network strength is very strong. And functioning very well with GSM 1900 carriers. But facing the problem with GSM 900 carriers only.
Isn't there anyway to get back to Factory Settings or something like this...?
Don't know what else to say. Apparently the NS4G 2.3.7 ROM changed something permanently, and you can't reverse it with flashing another ROM/Radio/Kernel. Unfortunately I don't have any more suggestions . Hope you will find a way to fix it ...

At this point I'm loosing hope...

I had one Stock ROM backup (2.3.3). I flashed it today. Which updated the Radio to KB3 also.
But the problem persisted. Then I took the offcial update to 2.3.4 using the push update.
Yet the problem is not fixed. Not getting any clue on what happened !
I've tried two different operators who run GSM 900 and its not getting network with them.
But There is no problem with GSM 1800 operators. Its running smoothly with GSM 1800 SIM.
Alhamdulillah, the problem has been solved.
A OTA update to 2.3.6 has solved the problem for me.
First I flashed 2.3.3, just after flashing it prompted for a update to 2.3.4 and a day after it prompted for a update to 2.3.6.
Which eventually solved the problem
Thanks for your help guys.
Hi every one!
I have an xoom 3g eu. After rooting etc i lost my 3g. Now im on lte ics wich is us. Is it in anyway possible that i get my 3g back? On a eu device with us rom?
Thx

Same Problem.
I think team eos release a non us 3g rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459641
I think you'll find the problem is your Euro 3G MZ601 uses GSM radio and hardware while the US 3G MZ602 uses CDMA radio and hardware. Thus the US ROMs don't interface correctly with you MZ601.
The new EOS ICS for Euro 3G works very well on my Hong Kong sourced MZ601 with Australian Telstra 3G.
For pain free installation I would suggest running "fastboot oem unlock" again before flashing to ensure a clean install.

Im actually running 4.1.1 with all the mods for GSM and is working, the data speed can't be faster than Edge (E) simple because the Bands are different from LA, the S3 from verizon only have 2100 so we are out f luck for more speed.
But yes even with the stock ROM you can re install everything to make GSM work again.

Thank you, you will have the link to follow to the letter and to enjoy the 4.1.1? this would help much since there is much information and I want to avoid mixed brick my team
Let me preface this by saying that I have searched and searched for an answer, so if someone is able to point me to a relevant thread that can fix this issue I would be super grateful.
I have a rogers XT925 which I have managed to put the 4.4.4 P.A. firmware on after flashing to the RTRF KK update. I love this ROM (although I am a newbie to customs) and all seems to be working fine, but I have not been getting LTE service since the update. The best I have is H+ right now. Rogers is my carrier and I was receiving LTE from the stock JB firmware. I talked with customer service and set up the proper APN (found the info online, but wanted to verify it through Rogers). I have messed with the settings and put it to Global for network. I also did the #*#* thing and made sure it was set to LTE as well. Still nothing. I can only imagine that it is the modems that are not correct, but I don't really know. Has anyone else had this issue with P.A.?
Any one have a possible solution?
Thanks
I don't think the retail France modem supports Rogers LTE. You may need to try the BR modem but if you can't do that or it does not work you may be stuck waiting to see if Rogers ever releases a KK update to use the official modem before it will work again or try to downgrade back to JB.
