I saw it somewhere that the verizon LTE droid razr actually supports dual network mode, in other words, GSM and CDMA.
I wonder if someone who has the verizon version can verify this. I am sure a lot of people are interested.
Also, I might switch to the verizon version from my galaxy nexus GSM version if it is real...
Thank you and happy new year !
No it is not supporting GSM

I think it has the radios but Verizon had them disabled (gsm that is)
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA App
Yup. It has them disabled.
The XT910 however, has the GSM radios. I believe Rogers has it.
Shame on Verizon. They always do something like cutting functions off.
There are engineering prototype floating around and there are pictures showing the dual mode.
Hope one day this thing got an unlocked radio.
Well technically it is enabled for LTE. LTE uses a version of GSM. Thats why you have a sim card from VZW

Yea, but he means able to work on gsm bands (850/900/1800/2100). These bands are hardwared into the droid razr, but like everyone else stated its locked by Verizon. And there is no way around to unlocking it to work. It's a shame, but perhaps in a few months we'll see a "world" phone version of the droid razr. But knowing Verizon, they'd charge extra for a phone with the same hardware, just a new name. Haha.
According to this the Razr has GSM 850/1900 support in its sim card slot. That means if you can unlock (via Verizon key or possibly a custom rom) you should be able to use a third party sim card.

You know, you could just grab the Rogers or Int'l versions, they work on at&t just fine
Any idea why my phone keeps jumping between 60% and 70% on the charger? Was using my N1 charger at first, and it stayed at 60%, finally jumped straight to 70% with the included Motorola charger.
There is definately GSM capability or at least someone wrote settings code for it. These are 2 screen shots from my CDMA Vzn phone.
The settings are greyed out however.

it's one of the reasons that moto has to keep the bootloader locked up. VZW would FREAK so loud their master in Hell could hear them if people started to flash their phones to work on att, or worse...
Both the Droid 2 Global and Droid 3 were locked down not to be used on the GSM networks here in the states and a couple of guys on xda got it working for us. On another note the HTC Rezound is also working on gsm thanks to some
Verizon has already said that the global GSM roaming capabilities will be enables at some point in the future for the Droid 4. They said having them currently blocked at this point was due to "network limitations." Since the internals of the Droid 4 are pretty much identical to the RAZR/RAZR MAXX, it's possible Verizon will enable the feature on those phones as well...or maybe that a developer can enable them once the Droid 4 gets it.
I use an app called phone info to get into the info menus quickly, select Phone Information. I have a GSM Razr and I can switch my radio to CDMA from GSM or Auto (CDMA/GSM) using a dropdown menu. Can you definitely not do this with the US Droid Razr?
Hopefully some developer is working on a workaround for the verizon ICS build to work on GSM ,cant they just add the radio from the CM9 aokp builds ?

Hey i currently have a samsung epic with sprint, and i got a verizon motorola droid x2 from a friend and i was wondering if anyone knew how to unlock it so i can use it with my sprint service.

Damn there's no way around it?? well i guess i now have a Droid x2 up for sale haha,
1 of my employees have a droid x and it is on metro pcs andbsays Verizon on the phone.
There has to be a way to unlock it to work with any network........
Verizon has historically been pretty much the only mobile service provider in the US that still runs of the aging CDMA network. CDMA was the frontrunner around 10 years ago, but right now, GSM is king almost globally. The biggest downside of CDMA is that it doesn't require a SIM card, which means that for all non-4G services you're forced to use the inbuilt antenna, which runs only on CDMA. If you want truly global capabilities, get the Inc2 or, for that matter, any 4G phone. Those need SIMs for the LTE service, which means it has a SIM port, which means you could theoretically hack the phone to run on anything. The DX2, unfortunately, has no such support.
Is there any chance to unlock Motorola Droid X2 (verizon) ?
i want to buy a verizon droid razr in u.s that have english and espanol language support only for my cousin but i need it to be with italian language support ,so i was i asking my self can i flash the verizon razr with an unbranded Eu rom that have ita language support and if yes will it be in 100% working order after the flash or i might experience some problematics ie gsm reception, slower gps fixes or else

Yep, it will.
The EU rom is for the EU phone. The Verizon phone is different in several ways, and it is not compatible. Besides that, the Verizon RAZR isn't even GSM compatible at this point. It's CDMA/LTE only right now, so you couldn't get it working natively on any network in Europe anyway.

what are you talking about,in the link above they say its gsm
are you guys sure you are giving me correct information about what i am asking?
if i should brick my phone with this process can i recover and go back with the original firmware unbrcking it?
That link is wrong. If you buy an XT912 Droid RAZR, you will have a very expensive paperweight. You need an XT910. There is no GSM support on the XT912. It has the hardware for both CDMA & GSM, but the GSM portion is disabled just like on the Droid Bionic. And no, due to Motorola kernel signatures and partition sizes, the stock ROMs are not cross-compatible.
Feel free not to believe us, it's your money.

You will not brick it simple you cant flash it with rds due signature mistmatch unless you have a unlocket bootloader.
droid pro was hacked by TBH i think. gsm radio was hacked and then it was working with tmobile/att.

The SIM slot in the XT912 is for LTE, not GSM.. And 100% no to the "Will the X8 bootloader unlock work" question. Sony Ericsson are a completely different kettle of fish to Motorola. We've just spent months waiting while Kholk and the Eternity Project devs worked on a bypass, the bootloaders currently cannot be unlocked and likely never will be unless Motorola feel charitable.
I hate to say it, but you seriously need to do a lot more research before you waste your money on a CDMA phone that is no use to anyone outside the USA.

I don't think you need to deal with the gsm though, I believe the gsm services are locked in the states, even if you unlock it, it's simply not going to accept ATT or tmob

I was curious because I heard that the Droid Incredible 4G has a GSM radio in it so I did an experiment. I used a T-mobile micro SIM. I used the 4GLTE switch app for the Thunderbolt to access the hidden menu and I changed the radio mode to one that included GSM/W-CDMA. I popped in my T-mobile SIM and, presto, I got a T-mobile signal. I tested and I was able to make and receive calls and text messages. I had to manually set the APN for data to epc.tmobile.com and now I have EDGE data. I am sure an AT&T Sim will get HSPA+. The GSM appears unlocked now but hard to access. I am afraid, however, that once Verizon releases the update to make GSM roaming available, that it will be locked. Anyway, for now, you can pop in a GSM SIM and use your phone native.

Works on AT&T with EDGE data as well. I haven't gotten HSPA (any variant) or AT&T LTE working, and I can't play with it too much because it's not my SIM
ATT LTE won't work because the frequencies are different from Verizon but I am surprised that HSPA didn't work. Did you use a setting that included W-CDMA? GSM only would likely mean Edge only.

I am unable to choose "GSM Only & GSM auto (PRL)" menu choices. Is this normal? I am able to choose GSM/WCDMA/LTE auto though. I dont get any sim error messages, but the phone never seems to want to camp on any GSM network.
You are looking in the wrong place. You need the drop down menu that includes GSM, W-CDMA, EVDO, LTE in various combinations. Select one with GSM in it. Also, I found that you need to have your Verizon SIM in first and then hot swap it with the t-mobile sim.
On the Rezound if you make a couple build.prop tweaks it fixes texting and data on GSM.

I have read on here that it's unlocked out of the box, but when I put my T-Mobile sim card in it, it doesn't work. What else do I have to do to it in order to get it to function?
The Droid Razr is unlocked. You may want to check with T-Mobile to see if they have recommended access point name (APN) settings. I had to do that to get my US Verizon RAZR to work in Canada. If you are lucky T-Mobile will have information on their support web site.
