I purchased my droid razr XT912 which may have a bad esn from ebay and got my number programmed with reliance cdma and am using it simless (non omh), calls/evdo/sms and all work well.
i hv put a blank sim card which does help show verizon wireless as service provider on lock screen as without sim it always showed no sim inside.
my question is if I will get OTA uodate to ICS or do i need to follow the other methods posted here.

Whether a phone is activated with service or not, theoretically you should get OTA updates. I've had phones in the past that did not have a sim card, as soon as I connected wifi, it would prompt to update.
I flash bad ESN phones to Cricket and they still get OTAs.
Tappin the talk
thank you for the positive feedback, no signs of OTA yet but i'll wait

Am in Delhi. Bad ESN should not matter. message me if you are in delhi want to know who programmed it for me.
I am using on reliance CDMA with OTA ICS and never faced any issue. Works on gsm as well after update.
if you want to use EVDO, u will need a verizon sim else only 1x will work.

Hi all,
First of all sorry for my bad english,
Last month my nephew gave me Motorola Droid Maxx xt912 Verizon, this device is brand new one.
I injected CDMA from local provider and it works flawlesly, but the problem come when I want to use the GSM (for your information I live in Indonesia).
When I want to use the GSM with inserting local provider micro simcard I can make phone call and SMS but I cant use the data, I'm sure I already set the APN correctly. I tried with 3 other local providers and still cant connect the data. Right now the phone running stock ICS Rom 4.0.4.
Really appreciate It if someone can give me a clue to solve this problem.
Thanks and regards
Hopefully APN settings

Hi,
I am having the same Droid Razr Maxx XT912 on GSM.
I added APN manually and Data Works fine. Check your APN again.
In APN Type You must add "default, supl".
Remove the quotes..
What carrier are you using? Which country?
Do you by chance know the apn for Cricket 4g?

it is from us cellular if you ask me its the s3 mini anyways itsa cdma phone that has a sim slot which has a card in it for us ceullar. now im confused the phone specs say its cdma only but with a sim card that makes me t hink its gsm global(locked to any us gsm providers im sure) and cdma so I would assume it will work with say cricket wireless.
I am leaving u ceulluar and would like to use the phone with c ricket wireless and being its a cdma phone im surei could it is just that sim card confused me.
I know on phone in past cricket can take your imei i think it is and use a tool over the phone to convert it to propperly work on their network.
So basically anyone know if this phone can be used with cricket? is it locked? do I ahve to flash it. if the gsm part is locked that wont matter since i will only be ising the cdma part. here is the link to the phone on us cellular

Edited: The sim card has your programing for CDMA & 4g/LTE access. Just took mine out and it has zero service without it. I would guess as long as you put it in another compatible phone you would get service.
Hoping someone will figure out a simple rooting method, but doesn't appear there is a lot of interest yet.

Thanks but nah not what I was wanting, i wanted to be able to use the phone on cricket but since they dont use sim cards since their phones are cdma was why I was confused that this one has a card since usually only GSM phones use those. so im guessing I wont be able to use it on their network if they added it..I know they can convert certain imei's over the phone with a tool they ahve with cricket support but have not tried that yet.

So, just wondering, would the Samsung Axiom work on T-Mobile or AT&T ?
yes and no
The R830 by U.S cellular is a CDMA phone. now ah days having a sim card slot does not symply mean its GSM ....TMobile....GSM ALL DAY. ATT GSM all day. Vzw,sprint, uscellular...CDMA. the Sim card in question is a 4glite. it controls the 4g side and basically activates the phone upon new activation. the question is: WELL THIS PHONE WORK ON CRICKET? Answer...yes...I put one on Pageplus by just activatiing the imei and then OTA...but I'm having trouble with the DAta side... cant get data or MMS (picture messaging) to work..talk and texts works fine.....Now im on to figuring out how to get this thing into DiagMode without rooting it Oh yeah.....try activating your Imei on cricket and then star code it. . if it asks you to press 1 or 2 but you dont see a keyboard,....thats okay...just let the lady run her mouth until the music starts playing....when its done the phone will restart and you'll have talk and text

No, your phone will not work on either. The sim slot in question is for 4glte, all 4g phones will have this sim slot. A GSM sim will not provide any functionality at all.

xt912 certain..the phone has GSM band capability and works on gsm carriers outside the USA with ICS update
Um Most probably there are no chance to use xt910 aka droid razr on other networks because it locked and works only in USA on Verizon network .
Look out into the development for cdma roms , try that if it dosnt work then flash patch to convert cdma roms into gsm
I hope that would work
Edit : i believe the panel has been chanced or model name might have chanced from build.prop
Thx

there are confirmed users of the XT912 not XT910 again the XT912 outside the USA on gsm networks... a simple look into this thread will reveal a number of testimonials
to all you nonbelievers out here, and to back up the person that said you can use gsm oh and u have to have the latest update cause gsm is unlocked !!!!
here is the steps
1/ Go to menu>>system settings>>more>>Mobile networks
a/ make sure Data Enabled is checked
b/ change global data roaming access>> to Connect to data services while roaming
c/change network mode from Global to GMS/UMTS (this will now allow you to enter the "Access Point Names" menu")
Now you should go on the internet (not via your phone-use another device or do it before hand in WIFI) and look up the APN settings (Access Point Names settings) for the country and carrier that you are using
d/ go to menu>>system settings>>more>>Mobile Networks>>Access Point Names
hit menu>>create new APN
enter the setting that you found on the internet then back out
switch to airplane mode to turn off your telephone service.
Wait a minute
taken from gsmarena xt912 user openions thread
will look into the gsm patch tho

happy to say that im using my xt912 on Digicel GSM in stlucia..works flawlessly no signal issues stock jellybean ota 4.1.2
question are you using GSM/UMTS or GLOBAL option.. try switching to GSM/UMTS see if this helps with your signal issue..
works with Bell and Rogers Canada

I have the Verizon Razr Maxx XT912. I bought it from a girl sealed in box who thought it cannot work in Canada. I removed the verizon SIM, upgraded to ICS then tested it and it works. I then upgraded to JB and it also works. However, I get a weak signal, only 1 bar most of the time, but it never drops calls. I even flashed Spyder and it shows no signal at all but still can make calls and receive calls!!
So yes, it works very well in Canada. I only wish I can fix the signal bar issue on spyder Liquid Smooth and CM10.1. I tried umts_spyder, I get a full signal bars, but when I open the dial pad and click on a number it freezes for about 6 seconds before it allows me to continue. The dial pad is not stable.
Hi guys... I'm from Argentina and I have a XT912 on a GSM carrier (Movistar).
I live in the Córdoba province and everything works perfectly (calls, 3G, wifi, etc.) on the stock rom.
I recently installed CM10.1 for spyder and user a GSM fix to make it work, with the fix I can get 3G and a good level of signal (similar to stock rom). The fix is giving me some troubles cause I can make calls but I can't receive since I receive a "the process com.android.phone has stopped" message. I'm looking on how to try to resolve this.
Anyway I can confirm for certain you can use a XT912 outside US on a GSM carrier.
See you around...
i want to get a razr maxx from ebay.. and usually the ones with bad ESN have a lower price.. I'm in Chile so my question is if i can still use this phone in GSM network in my country, even if it has bad ESN.
as i understand with the ICS upgrade all the XT912 were unlocked to work as GSM phones outside the US.
i dont really understand the ESN thing.. i know it is something related to Verizon.
the other question i have, what if the phone is not "activated" in verizon, now assuming it has a clean ESN, but it is not activated in any company in the US.. if i put my sim card will still work as a GSM phone? and in case the phone needs to be activated in verizon, if it has a clean ESN can i activate it from my country sending an email to verizon or something like that?
As far as I know you should be able to use it.

I'll probably buy a DNA this weekend or next week. The only thing stopping me are it's battery life and lack of SD slot (vs. S3 right now). I also want to flash the phone to PagePlus but there are NO guides on this. I have flashed my Rezound to PagePlus though so I have the necessary PRL files. My question is though, to manually flash the phone to P+ so call, text, mms and 3G work, would my steps really be as simple as: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45181878&postcount=2
Also, could I just follow Nevell's guide on flashing the S3 using the DNA (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40464646)?
Thanks guys!
Bump.
So my first post was seriously flawed as I was basing this off of a Samsung Device (but HTC devices also vary too).
Would I be able to utilize the Rezound tutorial for PagePlus at all (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1900163)? I've been looking around at everything but I haven't come up with anything yet.
I know there are users who've flashed their DNA's to PagePlus and have gotten text, calling, and 3G to work (don't know about MMS, but I can do this myself). Also would I need a blank 4G LTE VZW SIM card? Or would I be fine without it as the DNA is natively Verizon-based (so I wouldn't need a 3G donor phone)? For my Rezound I only need a SIM card (it's a GSM one) in it to get 3G / MMS to work.
Any help guys?

No. I did order the phone and it should come next week. I'll just flash the phone myself. I figure it can't be as hard as the Rezound was for me the first time (granted, my Rez had some serious hardware issues).
I'll write a guide for PagePlus when I fully flash my phone. The only issue I would have is getting 3G to work. I am confident that I can get MMS to work though without the need for GoSMS or any of that (depending on the ROM).
I'll post it next week or the week after.
flash to prepay
hay bro iv been looking into it my self the DNA is an unlocked phone for cmda or for gsm so instead of flashing to page pluse just buy the $10 sim kit and bam there it is. ill be doing this this weekend my self so ill post again on it when i do it but there should only be miner setting changes that need to be done after the sim is in and activated HTC DNA is UNLOCKED.
I actually just flashed my DNA to PagePlus successfully today. I only bought a Verizon Micro SIM card for $5. I'll write up a guide tomorrow.
