GSM and CDMA Roms - Motorola Droid RAZR

Are the only differences in GSM/CDMA roms just the bands themselves? Is it possible to use an XIP file from a CDMA rom and throw it into a GSM one?

There's a few more differences than that. Check the topic in the development section about GSM patches for CDMA ROMs - the work's already been done for you there. I'm running Axi0m right now.

Thanks man. I was talking abou the opposite though. I have a CDMA Razr. I wanted to know if I can mod the GSM one to run it on my CDMA.

Why would you need to do that when almost all the ROMs for GSM are CDMA ports now? Which one in particular?

I'd say its about 50/50. Specifically, theres no stock deodexed right now for CDMA but theres quite a few for GSM .

to what carrier? No hspa support for t-mobile and at&t is wonky at best.
These are not gsm based phones so trying to get them working is a headache.

None, now. But for future reference does 3G and SMS/mms work for t mobile?
ICS Rezound.
Look in the GSM threads, they will tell you.
Flash any sense 4 rom then look up the gsm patch from the GSM thread in the Q&A section, its linked on the first post.
Or you can.just flash the MIUI rom in the dev section, its gsm based and active out of the box.

Or you could check the MIUI thread in the dev section. I think MIUI works out of the box for GSM carriers, except for some data bands.

If you flash MIUI or the SMS fix on a Sense 4 rom, you can get SMS and MMS working on a GSM carrier, but none of the GSM carriers in the united states will get 3G on the Rezound. Including T-Mobile

I would assume so. Cause if I don't have 3G available it won't send.

Look at the address in Settings/Mobile Data/Access Point Names/Internet under MMSC. See if it is an address that makes sense. Like the one for Verizon is: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms

Have you tried using an custom ROM from the ROMs section?
If you do, which ROM would you be using, those tagged with CDMA or GSM?
Thanks

I tried cm10.1 but it have problems with switching between CDMA and GSM.
Also Eclipse 1.5.1 CDMA is working fine in GSM networks.
I had EDGE working on stock ICS CDMA ROM, but on latest official JB I have no data connection under gsm. Only CDMA 3G. Voice is OK.

Is this good news for RAZR community?

-Danik- achieved to unlock bootloader on Mototorola MS2, will this be applicable to the RAZR?

Looks like a revelation!
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
Is that a OMAP device? if yes then it looks promising might want to notify hash about it :good:
edit: yes omap 3630
According to -Danik-
"Once the RAMDL was hacked , I was able to flash my own loader which is a turning point in Milestone 2 at is , and on any OMAP at all."
I'm no expert on these matters, but Google says it's OMAP too

Well so far nothing has been post in the RAZR section of the forum, but we have kexec anyways, which is a bootloader bypass. It would be nice, but it's not exactly needed, plus we weren't initially included so I don't know what that means

Is this true or fake ? I think it is fake but we will see.
If this is a fact that a omap device got unlocked bootloader, then this can get big. This is awesome news to me. Thread is subscribed.

Using KEXEC-C10.1-20130312. Like it! Took me forever to find developer options. Wondering if and when I should enable USB DEbug. Your thoughts? I run it via Safestrap. You? I am new to this, and need to ask what may be a real NOOB Question, re INTL travel. Also, can I insert purchased Euro Sim for use in Europe? Just foggy on how boot would react? Any help is appreciated.

You can travel abroad with your RAZR no problem; but, know that if you are running CM10.1 you must patch it before it will work on Intl GSM, if you search the CM10.1 thread toy will find a link to the patch. I would link it now but I'm on my phone. If you have any other CM10.1 questions please post them on the CM10.1 thread, way more people read that thread and the support over there is great.

ROM Request - T-Mobile base

Apologies in advance. I've never done this before.
I was just wondering if it would be possible to get a GSM Sense 5 ROM based off of the T-Mobile HTC One. We have them for the Sprint version.
The reason I ask is because of WiFi calling.
If not, no big dea.
inb4 do it yourself.

He wants the framework involved in using tmo wifi calling, it'll need to be a tmo port or base vs any other carrier.

Yes, this. I am using Newt's GSM ROM right now. I was able to find IMS options in the debug menu, but it didn't help me any as far as I can tell.

Question for ViperDNA ROM by Team Venom

I have installed the ViperDNA 2.0.3 ROM on my Droid DNA. I am in Verizon network.
Question:
I know there is a gsm version and a Verizon version for this ROM. I have travel plans and plan to go outside USA (India) and use a local GSM sim card there. Will my phone work with the Verizon version of the ROM if I just insert the gsm sim card? Or do I need to flash the gsm version for the ROM?
I have been able to use a gsm sim card before with the stock ROM. Not sure if it will work with Viper ROM. Please help!

I'm not absolutely sure. But I'd think you would need a contract with like tmobile to pick up GSM.
It's not with T-Mobile.. I am planning to use pre-paid in India for a month on the network there.. Was just wondering if the Verizon version of the ROM will work by just switching to global network..
