droid x2 has tegra2 chipset so what would need to be taken from droid x2 to make electrify/photon a verizon device? and of course switch ESNs from dx2 to to electrify/ photon

It might have the same CPU but there's differences in hardware and I'm pretty sure changing the esn onto a different phone is not legal

Photon on Verizon
I'm looking to do something similar, I have a Photon that I'd like to get on Verizon, and I don't care at all about 4G. In fact, the kernel I run doesn't support it. I have a Verizon radio on it already, and have confirmed it's on Verizon's network, anyone have any clues what I should do next?

Hello. A friend of mine is wanting me to root his bluegrass cellular Droid x2 and install cm7. I had someone tell me that I need to make sure that it is not for Verizon because it can disable 3g? I'm not sure if this is true but I want to ask. I've only installed roms on GSM devices. Thanks in advance for help =]

Do I detect a duh moment??? In j rummys root tools you can "switch" service providers until reboot... dnt know if that's helpful or not ..

Sounds like it may be a Milestone X2. Post your phone info lines and include the kernel ver.

I have a droid x2 with a flashed liberty3 rom and for some reason i don't get any 3G service in the whole state of kentucky...i know they are on bluegrass cellular their...anybody know a fix for this...??
I have a question, I want someone than can answer me correctly.
I read at GSMarena than the xt912 is cdma and gsm like the Droid 2 global. I want someone than has one, to confirm this, cuz I wanna buy one, but don't want to buy a xt910, the are out of my price range. And the maxx we dont have to talk about that, do we?
Thx in advice..
Forgot to say, I want to use it on gsm networks at 900mhz.
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using XDA App
Plenty of threads about this. If the hardware is there, it's disabled. The XT912 definitely does not work on GSM networks, and that's unlikely to change in the near future. Best not to buy one.

Android system can be configured to work with any hardware, but a cdma hardware cannot work as gsm, and vice versa
Got it?

Pretty sure the hardware in the XT912 and XT910 is identical - meaning both have physical CDMA/GSM/UMTS/LTE radio chips - but the GSM radios are disabled on the 912 and vice versa. Hence all the threads like this.

Looks like Verizon's lookin' to make it possible to charge us EXTRA extra if we use the phone overseas after we get the ICS upgrade...

Way to find a way to charge SUPER roaming fees, Big Red!
At least we'll be able to use our 4G devices outside USA like those i-devices
Do we know what GSM bands the Verizon Droid RAZR Maxx it'll be using yet?
It is quad band.

Well at least this looks like a step in the right direction for unlocking the full potential of these devices. Maybe next they'll unlock the bootloaders...
If only.

I was talking with my friend the other day he is an AT&T regional manager and he said that unlocking my photons gem radio and buying service with AT&T was a federal crime. I do not believe it is but can someone give me some better info on if it is or is not?

he is full of crap/ it's your phone you can do what you want with it. and i'd tell your friend if he doesnt know what hes talking about to STFU
Alright thanks for the help

Lots of people unlock their radio for AT&T, no one is in jail yet.
I think he just wants me to buy an ATT phone
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
either he is woefully ignorant or he is lying to you. If he is lying to you, than he is not your friend.
Well he it was illegal because of ESN writing but unlocking the GSM radio does not write an ESN correct?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
1. unlocking GSM radio is not ESN writing
2. ESN cloning of another phone you own and have not activated is not illegal (i.e. you are not using 2 phones with the same ESN on a network)
3. ESN cloning of a phone you do not own for the intent of stealing signal is illegal.
Hmmm do GSM networks even use ESN's?

How do I know if I have a locked bootloader?
I read in wikipedia that the international version has an unlocked bootloader, is this true?
Does that mean that if I bought my phone out of the us (Mexico) I have an unlocked bootloader?
Cheers
I'm pretty sure (not 100% though) that the only version with an unlocked bootloader is the Developer Version.

Yes, you said right.

Ok and how do you know if you have a devolpers device?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
You would know. It would have said on the box, and you would have had to buy it straight from Motorola for full retail price instead of through a retailer or phone store with a subsidized price.

this is odd because when i got my new razr it had the cwm9 android icon on the desktop when i first turned it on
i bought it at beast buy and didnt pay anything extra for it but i doubt its a dev version
Minr also has a devolpment id number as well under the devolpers options.....

Not sure what the id number in "developer" section of the settings menu means, but any device with ICS has that in the menu now, doesn't mean its a developer phone.
