Problem with A956

I recently bought Motorola Droid 2 Global Verizon.
I unlocked it and put my sim in it, and everything work perfectly fine except for one thing:
When i make or get calls, i can't hear anything and so as the other side of the phone
and when i make calls there is no ring tone but it is calling and also there is a really poor signal.
Any help? thanks!

Well the poor signal just looks that way because Verizon makes GSM signal look lower than it is. if you open your build.prop file, you can edit the line
Code:
ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone=1
into a 0 instead of 1 and it will show the actual signal.
As for the calling, I don't know. GSM calling works fine for me on AT&T's network for both 2G and 3G. Sorry :/

A friend of mine gave me a brand new Global 2 that was never activated. It has a Verizon Sim in it and my carrier is T-Mobile. I would like to know where you got the unlock code from. There's allot of sites our there claiming 100% guarantee but I don't know who to trust. Also how hard would this phone be to get on T-Mobile? Thanks for the help...

I got mine from this eBay seller (I hope it's ok to post eBay links). Just remember that the IMEI, which is what that seller needs to provide the code, is not the same as the MEID. To get the IMEI you have to go to Settings > About Phone > Status > IMEI. The IMEI should start with "35".
To get the phone working on T-Mobile, it's as easy as it is for AT&T. Assuming you have the latest .629 update, you have to use RSDLite to downgrade to .330 which will temporarily brick the device. Then use ezSBF to update back to .629. This will preserve the .330 baseband while unbricking your phone. Then all you have to do is root, install CWM using the D2 Bootstrapper, and flash the TBH band hack .zip from within CWM.
Good luck! and If you've got any questions, feel free to PM me.

start with a fully charged battery before starting the band unlock

most d2 globals can be unlocked
for a few the d2g the codes don't work
you will not know if code will work till you try
if the code does not work ask for a 2nd or 3rd code

I actually figured out how to fix it: I changed it to gsm mode only..
But now, after i messed with it a little, I can't search for gsm networks, only for umts.. And when i try change the mode to CMDA, it change it back to gsm/umts mode
Any suggestions?
HELP!!!
I stupidly deleted the build.prop, and now the phone won't boot!!!
What do i do now?!

in the usa? carrier?
have you done any of the build prop fixes?
Sent from my XT862 using xda premium

The original carrier is Verizon, but i unlocked it and my carrier is Cellcom(Israel).
I also tried to factory reset it, but it didn't work..

there are a couple of build prop edits you can try

But it does'nt help me now, because i don't have a build.prop now and i can't boot up my phone.

thank you! I flashed it and it's working now!
But back to my problem, it's still can't find gsm networks, only umts networks..
And when I'm connected to a umts network, i can't hear, and the one who i call to can't hear either...
There isn't even a ring tone..

could be one or more of several things
hardware failure
something in the phone may be broken
sim card may be bad, even if it works in another phone, motorolas seem to be very sensitive to sim card issues
software
may need to change the apn setings
may need to do the band unlock if you carrier uses the bands blocked by software
may need to do the build prop edits

Sprint G flex 2(LS996) GSM (DOMESTIC) Unlock [Guide]

I'm not responsible if this damages your phone, attempt at your own risk.
Hi everyone, I have stumbled upon what appears to be a working unlock solution for the G flex 2 (LS996). This is essentially a similar method of unlocking the g3, but with my unlocked by sprint node.db files. Currently MMS and Calling are not working for me on ATT, but data (LTE) and texting works. I beleive I know why calling is not working, as well as MMS, but I am not sure how to fix it, I am new to unlocking using root. Anyways, on to the guide.
First you will need to root your G Flex 2
You will also need Root Browser
Now after you have rooted download the files attached to this post
Next transfer the files to your phone if you did not download on your flex2
*Back up your node.db and node.db-library by adding .bak to the end in /carrier/apps
Once the files you downloaded are on your phone extract them to /carrier/apps
Now restart your phone with your non sprint sim card, or sprint if you are unlocking for future use
When the phone boots you should see that it is recognized, but the carrier still identifies as sprint
Go into settings, more, set mode to global, then go to apn settings and add in your apn
Now you should have full sms and data
This is as far as I have got at the moment, but I am working on calling and mms on at&t, it did appear to be working on Verizon though
Now to where I need some help:
First is calling. I think I have identified the 2 things that may be causing the problems. First is call barring, when I opened up a hidden phone menu it said that incoming, outgoing, etc calls were locked. When I try to enter that submenu to unlock them it says something about the sim or crashes. Next is hd calling. When I dial a number there is a hd symbol next to dialing, I don't know what that is, but if it is sending the call over data I am assuming that there is some type of problem with it sending it to a sprint server or something. If someone can help me figure this out I will be very thankful.
My next problem is MMS, on at&T. Whenever I try to send or download one it does not work. I might just have messed up my apn a few times but I doubt it. The MMS settings in hidden menus show up with sprint settings, and I have tried changing them but they just revert. Could anyone help me out?
PS Sorry about adding two files the first one did not show up when I posted and now I don't know how to remove

I am getting hands free activation now and then please help.Tried everything below.

Try this..
with root explorer : Go to system/app or /system/priv-app folder.
Locate Sprintsyncml. Apk
Rename it to Sprintsyncml. Bak
or
Search for OmaDmclient.apk, then click and hold the file till it popups a secondary menu, in secondary menu select RENAME.
Rename OmaDmclient.apk to OmaDmclient.apk.bak and press ok.
or
LGstartupwizard.apk... Which is located at
/system/priv-app
try this options it should work..it will disable the prompt
Thanks only found LGstartupwizard.apk but it is still popping up after rename..Please help

Yes that's true. Take care about permissions setup, use root explorer for that purpose. In three countries I use this phone LTE works mostly in bands 4, I also enabled that band using a guide I found here.

I had the phone unlocked by sprint and can still not hook on to AT&T. What are you offering?

5.1.1 can unlock gsm sim too? Thank You

Changed my build.prof and got calling working flawless, just cant seem to be able to change apn settings.
ro.carrier=spr
ro.build.target_operator=spr
With this, you can also changed the spr to tmo if you want.
Anyone know how to make it so I can change apns?

When in the build.prof editor in Root Toolkit Lite, I simply changed it from "SPR" to "spr".
##data# isn't helping because I dont have the msl/spl. Everytime I go to change the APNs it wont allow me add one in. I can edit files if needed, I just need to be able to edit it haha

@carlosirai, others,
can you help me a bit, as your post intrigued me as follows :
i bought this phone - rooted and unlocked as per method above by ebay seller for international usage.
currently, the phone is technically domestic unlocked and rooted on ZV6. this results in no OTA and node files for SPRINT modified!
as an internationsl user, who will not be using US Domestic providers or Sprint, can i unroot on ZV6? then upgrade to ZV9 then root as/if required and use with an international provider? this usage will be on 3G & LTE ( Bands can be enabled as required, post root )?
thanks in advance!
any help you

Note 5 SM-920P bought in China

I bought a Note 5 which worked fine with China Unicom, the phone was 5.1.1 so I decided to manually update the phone to mm. After the update the phone can make calls, but it can't pick up data signal. I've tried everything from flashing the modem back to 5.1.1 (which was the one that worked, originally) but no dice. I was wondering if anyone had a solution to this. The phone isn't rooted and its constantly trying to activate its voice and data, even though the voice all ready works.

Enter the APN settings manually for your network. The same happened to me on my Unlocked N920P. I entered the APN (Airtel India) and deleted all the others. On upgrading, it will automatically pick up the Sprint APNs. So add a new APN and enter your setting for your network manually.

It happened to me too. The first step was the APN. changed the APN manually on mine but still it seemed no data connection was active. On step two I discovered that even the data seems not active, in reality there was a data connection and everything was working, but the icon was not showing due to something missing in the Sprint's SystemUI data connection icons.
So, try to put your apn manually and try and check if there is a data connection, i.e. using the browser to navigate.

Open the notification panel - touch the "down arrow" symbol on the upper right corner to show all the icons and look there must be the data connection icon you're looking for.
As for the update: Updated myself to MM and everything works fine with the exception of 4G. This is not something caused by the update but because the LTE-4G bands the phone works are not compatible. Check yourself @ willmyphonework.net

Flash pure GSM kind of roms.
First go to official MM by ODIN, root it,
Via TWRP, flash Lamlazy ROM or aurora rom which is compatible rom without sprint stuff.
Try this rom http://bbs.gfan.com/android-8394771-1-1.html
Download link pan.baidu.com/s/1c2JZgje PW kr10
I didn't try yet. but it says N920p supported. If u are on sprint, am not sure how it works.. but GSM should work well.
That V7 of Lamlazy can be found here -- thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=153
