I am going to go on a trip to the Cayman Islands in a little over a week and I was thinking about snagging an international VZW phone to use while I am there. Last time I went I carried a sim unlocked iPhone and it worked great by just picking up a prepaid card. I know the Rezound had the radios in the beginning but I am having a hard time figuring out how well it works and where it stands as of now thanks to updates and what not. My question is, how is the Rezound working on voice and data and if I should be looking at certain leaks for better performance? Any insight would be appreciated, and if you guys think there is a phone that will work better for me, feel free to make suggestions.

The rezound is a global phone, if you whant a easy to us eno setup needed rom for gsm, use one of mine(Rezound Miaster) , when you flash this custom rom, just pop in any Sim card and it will work, no settings or tweaks or anything needed to do. you migh thave to enter your apns depending on your carrier.

When using Rezound Miaster for GSM, will I get HSDPA ??
In most of the post i've read before. Rezound were only goes as far as EDGE...
And if I want to use Rezound Miaster, I just flash it ?? no Clockwork Recovery ??

You're gonna get HSPA+ if your network provider uses the 2100mhz frequency band (almost every global provider does). Otherwise you'll have to stick to EDGE.
And yes, you do need recovery, though it's Armon Ra that is recommended not CWM. The later still got some bugs.

I flashed the ICS leak the 605.10 the one that's supposed to be the OTA one. I went to the Verizon store they said it should work but they don't know since its not technically official. It should work with the 4G SIM card. Is it unlocked for any sim or can I only use it with the Verizon SIM? I just didn't wanna post a thread about this.
Thanks

Yes, the rezound is factory unlocked by default, you gotta enable gsm by either flashing a gsm rom (and be able to send texts on gsm for a change) or simply root and look for the stock gsm patch that works on that leak you're running.

But in Sense 4, mms not working
I'm on the leak from three months ago in Afghanistan with an extended battery. Popped in a sim card from a shop on base and it works with no problem. Calls only though no data. I had to use the lte on off app to put it in gsm.

"you migh thave to enter your apns depending on your carrier." this quote concerns me since I haven't heard of it before, I tried to look around but without testing not getting far. Anyway, Verizon cust, plan on flashing GSM Rom and getting prepaid SIM in Ireland. Do I need to focus on apns?

It will probably be sent automatically by the carrier but still, it may not and you're gonna have to manually set it up.

If you s-off it will be much easier ssince flashing the rom after wiping will be your only step.

Did you happen to factory reset from stock recovery when you upgraded your firmware? I had the same problem until I flashed stock recovery, and then factory reset, then flashed custom recovery. It didn't matter what rom I tried to flash, and until I did this I had no network. Hope it helps...

DISCLAIMER: I am not forcing you to visit this thread and start messing with your phone to make it do things Sprint and Motorola did not intend for it to do. If you have issues and your wife gets pissed because you borked her phone and haven't slept for 2 days trying to prove to her you can fix it, it's not anyone's fault but your own.
Credit for this discovery is not mine alone. It has been tossed around for quite some time that a version of the Japanese radio may hold the key to unlocking USA capability. XDA members Noncs and Lightsword1942 should be recognized for finding the proper Japanese radio. Please be sure to express your gratitude and encourage more work on this unlock by thanking folks involved and when possible donating. This keeps the cup filled and keeps the work going.
So you want to unlock your Photon to use on AT&T, T-Mobile or some other USA GSM/UMTS carrier. Well this is how to do it. The poll I have here is important. PLEASE DONT TAKE IT UNTIL IF AND WHEN YOU TRY TO GO BACK TO STOCK SPRINT OR RETURN TO SOME OTHER CDMA CARRIER! Most of the answers to "CDMA is still not fixed" have been folks that appear to be not very active in the community, or have found this googling how to unlock GSM for the photon. I have decided that it comes down to NOT following the instructions correctly/not understanding what currently is needed to get flash the GSM radio AND/OR get back to CDMA.
Things that need to know how to do before flashing KDDI or any other radio.
1-RSD an .sbf to stock base.
2-Unlock your bootloader.
3-Root your phone.
4-Install a recent custom recovery.
5-Perform a nandroid backup.
6-Restore a nandroid backup.
7-Flash a .zip from a custom recovery.
8-Create, edit or flash APN's. (for data)
9-Boot into recovery, fastboot, etc.
8-Accept responsibility if you screw up.
If you don't know what any of this is or means, than leave this thread and don't come back until you do and are comfortable with them. A good place to start is LokifishMar's All Things MoPho! Thank him and fill his cup! Please leave questions about these things at the proper threads.
Things YOU need to know:
1- The radio file for unlocking GSM/UMTS will be referenced KDDI for purposes of this thread. KDDI=GSM RADIO
2- Flashing KDDI will enable USA GSM/UMTS and allow USA carrier sims to work on your Photon.
3-Currently the KDDI results in error when flashing to Electrify. Sorry USCC guys, hopefully it gets worked out soon.
4-Flashing KDDI will break Sprint service while you are using it. This is not permanent and CAN be regained.
5-The GSM/UMTS functionality needs rom support! The rom devs are working hard to integrate into ICS based roms. Stock sprint works on GSM, although occasionally GSM would break after some time during testing. Currently the best functional rom for GSM is peetr's custom 2.3.5 hybrid and is currently the recommended ROM. Please don't gum this thread up with data and other issues after using the KDDI. It works and any issues with service are NOT here. Go to the ROM thread you are using.
...on to the good stuff!
Enable USA GSM/UMTS and retain the easiest way to get back to Sprint stock!1-SBF to stock base. Root your phone, unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and perform a nandroid backup of your stock rom!
2-Flash KDDI radio from recovery.
3-Flash your ROM. You may need to enable GSM/UMTS in your mobile network settings. You also may need to enable data roaming and set your APN's.
4-Profit! If all you wanted was the unlock then your done! otherwise...
Get Sprint stock back:
5-Restore your nandroid backup you created previously.
6-RSD the stock sbf.
7-Reboot and reactive Sprint (Hand's Free)
You can also if you choose flash a stock sprint radio and manually program to Sprint or another CDMA carrier instead of flashing back to stock.
Follow the instruction here after flashing a Sprint stock radio. Substitute the data flashed for Cricket with the data from needed from Sprint or your CDMA carrier. http://www.cricketusers.com/sprint-...photon-4g-cricket-talk-text-internet-mms.html
WARNING: This is not the easy way, the first method is recommended. You can easily bork your phone messing around with the software at the above link.
Download KDDI
Nice find.
I am going to try this in Europe too.
But I must say to everyone, be very careful with flashing radios.

Just a minor correction but Non¢s found the radio and made the zip, I guess I'm the one who came up with using the Japanese radio and what update-script to use. Was too scared to try it myself though lol.

By the way I repacked the zip with the sprint leaked radio if anyone wants to test it. MD5 is 42ACB7CA9929782DAEB027B61D578C19
Someone should also test if the unlock works from bootstrap on phones stuck on 2.3.5

I have not tried anything except kitchen sink and stock sprint. I am testing more and will post results along with anyone else please do the same. I will update the OP with verified working roms as everyone lets us know.
Again, you need to apply libmoto_ril.so from that Japanese rom.

Not sure exactly what is needed for the electrify. If you are unlocked you might be able to just flash it and have it work. Also might need to flash a rom that supports GSM like cm7 or something.

I know with Joker's CM9 you have to change ro.telephony.default_network=7 to 0 in the build.prop for overseas GSM. Not sure if its the same for domestic or not. But i will definitely give this a test run when my girlfriend gets off of work, she has AT&t.

Did you flash the KDDI Radio after you flashed your rom in recovery? If you haven't, you must do that in order to get GSM radio functionality... After you have done that, dial *#*#4636#*#* and select Phone Information and switch CDMA to GSM (Auto PRL).

If you already flashed paranoid and gapps, try switching to gsm auto (prl) first to see if you get reception since you are outside the usa already. Also... You might have to do build.prop changes, but try that first.

I don't think it does, because I don't use CDMA. I am on GSM Straight Talk myself. I think it just enables it, but if it does break it... You can easily reserve it with the sbf to 2.3.4.

1,000,000 Thanks to halfevildruid for his Photon Unlock GSM thread and Lokifish Marz for his All things MoPho! thread.
halfevildruid gave a 4 line "guide" to unlocking GSM on a photon.
1-SBF to stock base. Root your phone, unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and perform a nandroid backup of your stock rom!
2-Flash KDDI radio from recovery.
3-Flash your ROM. You may need to enable GSM/UMTS in your mobile network settings. You also may need to enable data roaming and set your APN's.
4-Profit! If all you wanted was the unlock then your done! otherwise...
I dont want to get lost in his 50 pages and wanted to reach out to the Photon portion of this community for a slower...more detailed "How-To" for someone like me. LOL.
I can read. VERY well. And if there are guides to each step needed, I will read them and complete them.
So here is MY photon...
Basic, stock photon. Rooted. Bad ESN so I dont care to ever get back to sprint. I have a t-mobile but the phone is not as beautiful as my MoPho.
Can I PLEASE get a slower, slightly more detailed explanation of how to bring my MoPho back to life with my T-Mobile Sim?
Start at one.

Okay...lol...I say this now and apologize 1000 times...I am sorry that im a noob. But we were all noobs at one point..So please show some compassion. -_-
1,000,000 Thanks to halfevildruid for his Photon Unlock GSM thread and Lokifish Marz for his All things MoPho! thread.
halfevildruid gave a 4 line "guide" to unlocking GSM on a photon.
1-SBF to stock base. Root your phone, unlock bootloader, install custom recovery and perform a nandroid backup of your stock rom!
2-Flash KDDI radio from recovery.
3-Flash your ROM. You may need to enable GSM/UMTS in your mobile network settings. You also may need to enable data roaming and set your APN's.

so its easy once you do it once. 1st. unlock the boot loader (http://youtu.be/YCv4RzO2324). 2nd. root your device(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xAYkejI4CE&feature=share&list=PLDE378F92431C38DF). 2.2nd get rid of the sprint verification stuff. ( google it, you'll need root explorer to do so.) 3rd. install clockworkmod( the middle of the video [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfJJ0h4d-80&feature=share&list=PLDE378F92431C38DF]). 4th. find a rom that will work with this hack.( the link is on the instructions page.) and 5th. back up using clockworkmod. 6th. flash the gsm exploit first and then flash the new rom. this is how i did it and after trial and errrrrrrrrr i finally got it but i redid it and it took me about 2 hours on a single battery while taking care of my kids and cooking. hit me up if you got questions.

I cannot unlock the bootloader. I tried but keep getting an error people say comes from already having 2.3 on the phone. Im about to smash this phone into pieces. Can't sell with a bad ESN and can't turn it into another network...
Also your unlock bootloader link is some weird "Business analytics" video LOL.

If you have android version 2.3.4 you can unlock
if you have android version 2.3.5 it is not currently possible to unlock.

So what CAN I turn this phone into? I live in OHIO.
Revol Wireless a $50 a month unlimited everything prepaid plan, has the Photon as "Under Development" for flashing to their service.
PagePlus, a prepaid wireless in this state would not take the Photon.

that will depend if you can unlock. All you have articulated so far is that you have 2.3 which could include 2.3.4, 2.3.5, or another earlier version.

Im sorry i missed that, i thought i put the 5. didn't notice. I have 2.3.5
With 2.3.5 you can't do anything at the moment. That version is not unlockable as of now.

either find someone who will accept it on a CDMA network or sell it to someone who can use it outside of the US (for which the GSM is unlocked).

Maybe OP can take a look at this thread. [How-To] Unlock ATT/T-Mobile on 2.3.5 OTA[/URL] Not sure, but it might solve the problem.

That's what I did and am now using my MoPho on Tmobile network with PTEL.
On a side note you don't have to flash peetr's ROM I am just using the USC one from the first SBF(step 1).
I could not get peetr's ROM to work.
Having a problem with my 4G. After I unlocked the bootloader with Team Fireball's toolkit, it was working. It stopped after I flashed a CyanogenMod Official (Nightly) ROM to it. I have tried to flash some fireball radios for it, but they won't seem to flash at all. Any ideas??

Read this post in Mdmower's thread. CM may have broken your radios. It is fixable though.

Thanks, I will attempt to fix it and let you know how it goes.

I attempted he fix but it was a no-go. I still only have 3G (eHRPD) working. What could be causing this? I even went S-OFF and reflashed the stock radio again. That didn't do anything either. I have a screenshot of what the radio settings are.
Would flashing the RUU do the trick?

did you flash the boot image using fastboot commands, this is required if s-on or if you flash one of nitsuj's roms
Hey I'm new here. Been lurking for awhile hehe
Anyways to the point, just wanted to say how I also have the no 4G connectivity problem also. I unlocked bootloader using unlock script. and then flashed twrp recovery, then installed Venoms Viper LTE rom and then flashed the upgrade to 2.0.0. This is all I've done as far as rooting and flashing is concerned other than going back to stock to try to recover 4g usability. So I'm assuming that means I'm s-on as well. would flashing the boot image like you said help me? I have already tried replacing the SIM with a new one but that didn't help and Im not sure as to what I should try next. Not trying to hijack your post just wanted to make sure it didn't get buried and we can hopefully find a solution to our problem. Strength in numbers and all that.
By the way I had my phone since last September and then two to three weeks after ownership I went ahead and rooted it and flashed new ROM because I knew it was, well, in need lol. Haven't had 4G since then but I tweaked 3G settings so that it's usable lol.

if you flashed viper the boot image is not in the rom zip, yes you need to flash boot image it contains the kernel and wifi modules
I am S-OFF. But I tried switching my CDMA Subscription (CyanogenMod 10.1) (Settings --> Wireless & Networks - More --> Mobile Networks --> CDMA Subscriptions) from RUIM/SIM to NV. That did fix the 4G connectivity problem, but it disabled calling and texting abilities. What could this mean? And what boot IMG were you talking about?

Now I have other theories. But don't know if they're right. For one, I looked up a sim card reader (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.okata.app.simcardlist) and it says my radio is CDMA. Doesn't even mention LTE at all. Not sure, but yeah.
