can the electrify( rebadged photon) be put on page plus?
(((""" Newbie guide to programming droid bionic with 3g data on pageplus
1.get a 4glte sim card.
2. factory data reset phone
3. Activate phone by using the first 15 characters of the imei (drop 1 character from the end)
4. Push pageplus prl to phone. (I do not know how to link download files to this forum yet)
I used cdma workshop 3.8 demo version
A.put phone in diagnostic mode power off, hold up and down buttons and power back on, select bp tools at the bottom by button down to it and button up to select bp tools
B. Connect phone to computer open up cdma workshop go to ports and select the one that says diag it should be the one at the bottom.
C. Click connect to connect phone
D. Go to main tab click spc send 000000 to unlock phone, go to other tab to load pageplus prl to phone, select write and find your prl file and it should write it to the phone.
5. Insert sim card.
6. Restart phone. Phone should OTA program. 7. dial *#*#4636#*#* go to phone information go to cdma auto prl and change it to cdma only
Back out of that
8. dial ##program go to test mode next over to evrc hdr hybrid mode change network type to cdma and back out phone will restart
(check menu/settings/phone status make sure mobile network type says CDMA 1xrtt and you have 1x data)
9. dial *#*#4636#*#* go to phone information go to cdma and change it to cdma auto prl
Back out of that
10. Power down and remove sim card and power up.
11. dial ##program go to test mode next over to evrc hdr hybrid mode change network type to cdma and evdo phone will restart
(check menu/settings/phone status make sure mobile network type says CDMA EvDo rev A. if it says eHRPD redo steps 10-14.)
12. dial *#*#4636#*#* go to phone information go to cdma auto prl and change it to unknown
Back out of that
(check menu/settings/phone status make sure mobile network type says CDMA EvDo rev A. if it says eHRPD redo steps 10-15.)
13. Power down phone, replace sim card power up you should have 3g and talk and text
this is the pageplus prl that i used http://www.4shared.com/file/qryS5x4T/51720_EVDO.html """))) - copied from droid bionic forum also using 4g..... even though electrify distant Have 4g

I checked it out for you and the website only asks for a cdma phone. My suggestion is go to the nearest pageplus store and ask them directly. It wouldnt hurt to try

If its a wimax phone then u flash it just like any other sprint/uscellular etc phone to page plus. And since it's a wi max 4g you couldn't put it on Straight Talk's gsm side even if u wanted to cause it won't have a sim card slot.

alright, well how about electrify? 3g device, does have a sIM card slot but I doing need anything gsm anyway. no gsm network works around here

you need an msl code found through asite that unlocks phones, try this site http://reseller.blowfishunlocks.com/index.php
its very difficult to get a full flash, my friend got one to work with 1x only. make sure youre using the proper software to flash also
---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------
i think it might be easier flashing a gsm radio on it
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
3g will work on the evdo rev A, wimax i'm not sure but 3g isn't that slow
Just wondering if you've already flashed or not I also want to get one for pp, but saw no instructions online. I only need voice, SMS and 3G going that's all

Just got a Thunderbolt but there isn't any ESN/MEID listed externally (back of battery) or internally. How do I determine what it is for this particular device?
Look for the IMEI number. Should be a 15 numerical characters long.
I found the IMEI number but it won't work on the Verizon Prepaid system
I dont think you can activate 4G LTE on Verizon prepaid, and all of there LTE phones only have MEID's. Hope that helps out.
LTE doesn't use ESN for network authentication like standard CDMA devices do. I think that's now the SIM number. Probably won't work either.
Found that technology wise the Thunderbolt 4G won't work on the prepaid system. In fact, it seems like Verizon 4G devices are similar to using GSM/SIM cards?

LTE is a derivative of gsm, so yeah.
Try this...
Goto the dialer and enter ##program then press send.
It should ask for a code, enter 000000.
Select display grouping and it should display the phones esn.
Please note that i was unsuccessful in getting the esn to display.
The application would freeze at 36% when loading the data.
This could be because of the custom rom i am running.
Let me know if it works!

Trying it right now using "Display Grouping"... okay here we go.
I also got stuck at 36 percent on my custom ROM (Synergy). Perhaps we need the LTE card inside to read ESN?

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

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 ?

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.

Im afraid I cant get this to work. Does it require a rooted phone?
I have the app, I have a T Mobile micro sim installed. I click on the drop down menu (within the app) and choose the first menu item "Select radio band" and pick PCS (1900-MHz Band) and I get a "successful" prompt afterwards (only when the Tmo sim is installed btw).
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.

No, I was in the right place to begin with, I just thought it would be able to pick just gsm but it wont.
And you left out that piece of informationin bold, but still not working...
Can you give us your firmware & radio version, perhaps some phones have been updated to block this.
Anyone have any luck with this?
OP, is your phone stock? Rooted?
What if it has a bad ESN will this work or a way to make gsm work even with a bad ESN I'm asking because if Verizon does not have droid 3 s I will get this phone then go with at&t but will like to know if I can change the radio so I can so this

One additional thing I found was that I got it to work by hot swapping the Sims. It seems like the Verizon sim has to be in when the phone boots. Once it boots, use Phone Info to change the mode to GSM and then switch your sim.

I would think it should work. The ESN is used for the CDMA networks, the IMEI is used for GSM. Stick with GSM and you should be ok...

Ok so i bought this razr off of craigslist and its a solid device so i dont want to give up on it it seems that it has been flashed to an unknown carrier all i know is the phone number that shows up in settings is area code 323 and wont go away i tried to activate it at a verizon and they got it all set up on their end but the device itself wasn't cooperating the rep at verizon tried to make a test call but it kept going to an automated message saying my account is out of funds and can not complete this call wtf? And we checked to see if the phone number changed it aaaand it didnt After three techs over the phone we couldn't get the damned thing to work The device wouldn't connect to verizons phone/text network but we did manage to get get lte i went to settings to see if i can update to 4.0 because its still running 2.3.6 but the button was greyed out... so im assuming its sum sort of rom made for a different carrier but im probably wrong
Any help i would immensely appreciated i use this device on wifi and even on gb i like it its so sweet i really wanna set this bad boy up

Hi, I just bought the verizon lg g3 for a use on at&t because I heard that it was unlocked (http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/help/unlocked-t2860916). I just went to at&t store to find out that this phone is infact not unlocked. So i would like to know if I can unlock this phone.
It is unlocked in fact and you can install an AT&T sim chip in it, add the correct APN entry and other settings, restart, and use the phone on AT&T. You will usually get a 4gLTE data connection too, depending on what bands AT&T use locally.
I know, because I have done this on AT&T, Cricket, and T-Mobile prepaid.
What he probably meant is that the boot loader is locked so there is currently no way to install alternate firmwares. This is still true, sadly, because Verizon are a bunch of control freaks. We do have rooting methods though.

Change your network type then. Its probably still set on the Verizon one that includes cdma. Change to one that mentions GSM and LTE or just pick global.
You will always have an annoying "sim is weird" icon in the notification bar, but it means nothing.

Yes it will work on the AT&T network, the only detail is that you might probably need to edit the APN's on the device so you can enjoy the LTE, you can get the APN's with any Customer service rep by dialing 8009019878
