CM 10.1 works fine with GSM, just edit build.prop to comment out CDMAv7LTE (something like that, it's near the bottom) by adding a # in front of the line. I have used my XT926 on TMobile via this method (with the RadioComm hack to unlock TMo.) You will probably have to enter an APN to get data, but that's trivial. You can leave the CDMAv7 thing commented out while on VZW, doesn't seem to have any ill effect.
CM 10.2 is more work to get on GSM, nobody has reported if the issues have been fixed with the latest M1 build.

making xt926 rom work on xt925
I tried to get the Blur rom to work on my xt925 with minimal success. It works and data works but its flaky and reboots mean toggling the netork mode to get data re-working.

Yes I realize this ROM was made for the xt926. I also know there are no hardware differences between the 2. people keep referencing the thread called "how to get xt926 roms working on xt925" but It doesnt work good enough. It works and wifi and 4g DO work, but the transitions between the 2 suck and toggling between GSM and global network mode is required after a reboot even with the build.prop edit and a factory reset.

3G on Xoom no longer working after flashing Tiamat ROM

Hi everyone.
I've bought my Motorola Xoom 3G 32GB from the internet and it came with the "international" firmware.
3G used to work all fine with any carrier I try until I flashed Tiamat ROM for all the advantages it supplies.
It just can't find a carrier (which is probably US Verizon).
Is there any way I can regain my 3G back?
Well its been a couple days. Has the 3g kicked in yet by itself?
I went ahead and unlocked my zoom yesterday and when it booted back up I didn't have 4g service kinda like you.
I tried finding some APN settings but the xoom wont let me edit them anyways. By the end of the night I went back to try and fix it again and I noticed it had connected again by itself.
I would try calling the carrier you prefer and get them to reset the APN. Moto might do it if you leave out the rooting part.
If its like phones it might be a case of flashing the multiCSC. Because on my old captivate the multicsc was the international unlock you described.

Well, I'm in this state for moths and still didn't regain my 3G back.
And, is there any way I can re-flash the files which determine the carrier alone?
Or alternatively, isn't there a way to manually compile Tiamat ROM with the international build files for universal support?
well you could go back to stock and that should work to get 3g-
I really like this ROM and don't want to go back to original.
That's why I'm asking for solutions '{: (

Look in the Development Section. TeamEos ICS Nightly is now available for 3G/4G...not sure if it supports international 3G yet, but they're working on it. The ICS rom, while still in alpha/beta stage (missing binaries for cameras) is stable and smooth and has tons of functionality.
Thanks okantomi!
I hope this ends my dilemma (fingers crossed).

[Q] 4.1.2 Rooted - Lose 4G During Calls

I recently upgraded to 4.1.2 successfully and also kept root with RootKeeper but I now have an issue that I did not have before with my 4G signal. Whenever I place a call on 4.1.2 my 4G data drops out when on all previous versions it stayed on. Also, I had the issue where my phone only had 3G active after upgrading to 4.1.2 so I went to Verizon, had them switch my SIM card and 4G came back.
Is anyone else having the issue of losing 4G data when placing calls?
Phone: Droid RAZR MAXX HD (XT926)
Carrier: Verizon Wireless
Version: 4.1.2 Rooted

Could someone please test this under the same circumstance I am in (XT926 4.1.2 Rooted) and let me know if they are having the same issue?
Just trying to decide if I want to get a replacement phone from Verizon to go back to 4.1.1 or this is an issue that is looking to be resolved. It sucks because I really enjoy 4.1.2, the phone is much snapper and responds way quicker when opening and closing apps
Thanks!

Doesn't happen to me.you sure about the 4g drop and just an icon change on the bar? Check networks in the settings menu during a call.

Thanks for your response! Any communication about what others are dealing with is helpful as it lets me understand the issue may only be on my end.
I've attached a screenshot of the "More" section under "Wireless & networks" from my phone during a phone call. As you can tell I do not have the 4G icon on my task bar and I am not able to modify the "Mobile networks" section as it is grayed out. Any idea why this may be?
I've also tried to use the Internet through a browser while on a phone call and it does not connect confirming I do not have Internet connection.

Sounds like a weird os issue.I would try a factory reset or full sbf if you want to stay stock.otherwise try safestrap and install another rom like vit.to test the results.

I've done a factory reset but have not done a full sbf yet because I do not want to lose root on my device. I truly enjoy 4.1.2 and enjoy it even more rooted so going back to a bone stock would really be disappointing. I will try to install a rom through safestrap to see if I get the same results.
If I do a full sbf, is there anyway for me to get root back on my 4.1.2 device?
Thanks again for your suggestions and responses!

I changed ROMs and I still have the issue. I ended up having Verizon send me a new phone out. Just got the new phone and everything is working right now. I am not to sure what happened with the old one but its definitely an issue only pertaining to my phone.
Could you please provide me with the steps you took to get your phone rooted on 4.1.2 so I can get back there?

As for the network settings in the phone menu that I'm not sure of. I'm on att. I believe you'd use the one that cdma and lte as an option though.

I haven't use CM on my Razr, but on my old Defy you had to use the included Baseband Switcher app to set your country and provider before you could get any cellular signal...
I'm in the same boat at the moment. Still can't connect despite adding the APN.

I think what I did wrong the first time was to wipe dalvik. I flashed back to stock using the utility that you can download from one of the stickies. Then I reflashed CM10 and only wiped cache and data. That worked for me.

[Q] dhacker cyanogenmod nightly apn settings issue

Just flashed dhackers CM10.1 6/29 build. I have a xt926 Verizon phone, but I live in australia and use a telstra sim card. Normally I just change apn settings for data and everything is all good. With this ROM there is no way to change APN settings in the settings menu. Even brought APN up in voice dialer, changed settings like normal and still cannot get data. Is there a fix for this?
Use the xt925 version. You flashed the cdma version which doesn't use sim cards.

This is incorrect. The XT926 is an LTE device and most certainly has a SIM card. The fact that you cannot edit the APNs is a bug.
All I know is every time I try an xt926 rom I can't edit apn's without multiple extra steps and when I flash an xt925 rom it works right away.

I'm confused here. So if you need to be able to edit APNs manually (e.g., for international travel), you have to flash the VZW XT926 with the firmware for the Global XT925? Doesn't that render the phone's radios useless while in the US? Obviously this isn't a problem for the OP since he is in Australia and doesn't care about the VZW radio bands. But for the rest of us who travel....?

Well if someone is on Verizon they wouldn't need to flash anything other then xt926 because the network is already setup for Verizon. As opposed to any other network the xt925 is a better option.

I am also interested in this. Although, I live in AUS now, it is just temporary and I do have a verizon account that I suspend while I am oversees. So when I come back to USA and switch to my verizon SIM card will I receive signal or will I have to flash to xt926 ROM? I would assume I would still get signal since the network mode selected is LTE/GSM/CDMA so it should pick up the CDMA signal. But i could be wrong because I had this selected on the xt926 version and didnt get data in australia. (But I had network and was able to make calls so it was just an APN issue.)
Also, if the Verizon SIM does work with the xt925 build, what are the advantages of using the xt926 build over the xt925 in the first place?
The xt926 build is for the strictly Verizon phone while xt925 covers everything else and possibly Verizon. I don't know because I'm on att.

OK. Thanks.
I was just curious because if Verizon does work on xt925, I don't see why anyone would want to use the xt926 version and lose access to global functions and APN settings. (never know when you might need them.) Unless of course xt926 is providing some sort of extra Verizon support or functions. Would be interesting to find out.
The xt926 has some stock Verizon apps built in.

[Q] XT926 4.3 Roms not detecting SIM Card?

I have an unlocked and rooted XT926 and have been successfully installing roms on this regularly until the 4.3 roms have come out. Each time I install a rom that is based on android 4.3, they install and work but cannot detect the SIM card. It is like the device doesn't see the card at all.The selector is always stuck at NV and switching to RUIM/SIM does not stay set.
I can install 4.1 or 4.2 based roms just fine, either from a backup or by doing a clean install and have the sim card detected and data connectivity, just not any 4.3 based ones. Can anyone suggest a cure?
Resolved
I was able to resolve this. I had originally rooted back in December from stock with motochopper. That was apparently my problem because after I re-rooted using the Razr HD Utility version 1.21 all is fine in the world now. Let the flashing begin......

So my XT926 is running the latest PacMan ROM but I am restricted to 2g data. When I unchecked the 2g only box, the phone doesn't even register. I am using the Pacman GSM rom. I am using Net10. UMTS works with the stock rom but i thing i still need to do some digging to get it to work with the AOSP rom
Does anyone know if the gsm network for the xt926 works with later builds of cm 10.2 or cm10.2 based roms?

I was just in Spain and tried to use a Vodafone SIM card in my Verizon xt926 (CM 10.2 ROM). The phone was set on Global and it detected the SIM card, but could not find any network. Updating the APN list did not work either. Sucks, thought the xt926 had international radios.

It does. The problem is with the ROM. Stock ROM works great internationally.
