Hello my Razr wielding friends! I was wondering if you would be able to help me out!
I want to get a Razr Maxx or possibly wait for the Razr Maxx HD but just want to know if the device will work on my carrier if I decide to buy it unlocked, like through negri electronics.
Of course, asking for someone's IMEI number isn't going to get me far, so I'm wondering if anyone with a Razr Maxx could go to this link below and check their IMEI to see what the compatibility checker says. It would be greatly appreciated!!
Here is the link: http://www.telusmobility.com/en/ON/phones-and-devices/devicecompatibility.shtml?eVar6=link
Thanks guys

Is it even possible to force a locked encrypted bootloader open? Is anyone trying this? I'd hate to see such a great phone be so limited due to this locked bootloader bs,not to mention there are more and more being locked up tight. Gotta get this sucker opened up!!!
Easy way to make sure Motorola sends devices with unlocked bootloader is to REFUSE to buy any motorola devices until unlocked. Enough said. So come on everyone. Return all those Razr's and lets force motorolas hand.
can anyone tell me how you know if you have a locked bootloader or not? i have a Razr xt910 from Claropr and i want to check this. thanks! my Razr came in a red motorola box with car charger and hdmi cable included.

Boot into fastboot plug your phone into the computer and type
Fastboot oem unlock
On unlockable RAZR it will say something like unlock disabled
Might be different if phone is unlockable

All locked until ICS update.

Now is that going to be a carrier option or is Moto going to make it RAZR wide.
It's carrier-dependent, and the rumor is that Verizon said no to it. We still have hope though, in methods similar to the Atrix.. But that's after ICS.
Why is it dependant on ICS??
fastboot oem unlock is disabled, meaning the bootloader is off limits until Moto starts unlocking international RAZRs (which is coming with ICS according to them) and we have that to use as reference.
I'm on INTL Retail RAZR so, no problem for me, but anyway...
....we should see the signatures on our RAZRs, if Verizon RAZR's signatures are the same, it will be possible to flash EU bootloader on VZW RAZR.
It's only a matter of time, but prior talking I(we) should have something in our hands for working (like FXZ/SBF).
i learned my lesson with the droid x even though i love the design of the razr my arsenal of phones are enough to keep me from upgrading my verizon line until the edge or something worth it comes out but good luck to your battles and may it get unlocked sooner then later
i love razr very much,but it said that 912's 3g do not work in china.
can this problem be workout when the ICS come?
sorry for my poor english
@calvin1731
Strange. The RAZR supports all the human known GSM/UMTS/HSPA frequencies.
Go check on MOTODEV, there's listed all phones' capabilities: if you find your operator's frequency on RAZR specs then there isn't any reason for it to not work.
@kholk
i use cdma network,so i must choose verzion razr.
but is said that verzion razr is locked,so it could not use evdo 3g and there isn't a chinese Language rom.
I am strongly considering this phone as a sidegrade to my GS2. The lure of unthinkable battery life is making it very tempting. I just cant go back to GB. I know the ICS rollout is set for "end of Q2", but on Moto's support page it only makes reference to the USA. Since the GSM version is not a USA phone, what chances will I have of getting an official OTA anytime soon? I researched this, but it seams that there are not many of these devices currently being used in the US. Does anyone have any info to help with my decision or am I just best off waiting until its officially official?
Thank you.
Read the forums. Seems like the ICS upgrade is imminent for Latin America and coming for EU/Asia.
Is there actually a US spec GSM RAZR, or are you importing from overseas?

Negri is selling an unlocked version that is compatible with ATT bands. Definitely an import.
Actually, there are GSM/UMTS radios in the Verizon Razr MAXX that have recently been enabled.
There's an article in PCWorld that I can't link too that I'm too much of a n00b to be able to post...
(pcworld dot com slash article/258233/verizon_gives_motorola_lte_razrs_their_gsm_wings.html)
I too would be interested if an unlocked Verizon Razr MAXX could be used on AT&T. garment69, have you had any luck? Did you make a decision?

According to this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569055 the ICS update for the RAZR apparently unlocks the SIM slot.
Some further work may be required, as indicated by this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1297714&page=3 (scroll down to read the last two posts)
Hi guys.
I love Motorola, and I'm thinking on upgrading to a MAXX. But I have a few concerns. I live abroad so I need it to be GSM.
To my understandings, the ones who can take a Turbo SIM are GSM capable, am I right?
Also,
Is there a way to quickly recognize GSM ones? I'll buy it through ebay and I'm afraid I'll need to ask every seller just to make sure I don't buy the CDMA one.
I got a DROID 2 Global right now and it works wonders.
Is the battery life difference between and MAXX and normal Razr so huge that is worth the extra $100?
If you could have another phone other than MAXX, what would it be? (not S3 )
Kind a lot of question, but I can only change my phone yearly or so, so I need the best I can have.
The cdma RAZR with the verizon ICS update .211 has world capabilities, the GSM radio is accessible on it.
If you get a cdma one and its not updated yet, first check for update over wifi on it and if says up to date give it the middle finger then download matt's 1.7 utility and flash the .211 leak, its the same as ota,
If I could have another phone I would choose something like the droid 4. I kinda still miss my keyboard. But then again the RAZR's screen is larger, and OLED where the droid 4 is the old LCD pentile like on the bionic. (oled is pentile to but much less noticeable)
Just a note, I dont have a max, I have a regular RAZR that I want to maxx soon.
I would say that double battery life is definitely worth the $100, Im gona end up paying a extra $150, plus i got the razr on release so It was $300 then. $$$
A easy way to identify the GSM ones is the lack of the Verizon 4g LTE logo on the back. Also the official name on the GSM is Motorola RAZR, DROID RAZR is a registered trademark of Verizon I believe, maybe just the "Droid" part, not sure.

That was very helpful man, thanks haha. But what you are saying is that it doesn't matter which one I get since I'll be able to use my SIM just by updating it? First time I hear something like that...what about the SIM slot? I don't think a CDMA phone will have one "just in case"...
Would you say that for 350 I should definitely get the MAXX? That's my budget and I know I can get one for that on ebay.
Many people still insisting I should get SII, but I want to believe Maxx is the better one...even though I'm fooling myself...
I just found out phones with bad ESN will work on GSM carriers.
Is that true?
Pretty sure that the XT912 is the model number of the CDMA (Verizon) RAZR and XT910 is the model number of the GSM one.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

The screen is better on the galaxy S2, fyi. The pentile on the RAZR really bothers me when viewing text. Hurts my eyes after only 5-10 minutes.
I recommend you spend some time with one before buying.
I'm looking forward to the RAZR HD.

Hello all.
Just bought my Razr MAXX yesterday sim free. However I'm on the '3' network which doesn't even sell the MAXX.
My question is, now that ics updates are beginning to trickle out, will I even get the upgrade? Is it the carriers or motorola that issue it?
For sim free un branded hand sets it will come from Motorola direct

I thought as much, just checking.
Cheers.
Hi all. Can the motherboard from an XT910 be put in an XT912 and all other parts connect and function correctly? Basically, I've exhausted all of my Google searching skills trying to find a way to make my XT912 operate on a GSM carrier in the U.S. and I've come to the conclusion that I should get XT910 motherboards and put them in my XT912's since it's cheaper than buying the whole phone. I plan to order the boards off ebay and need to know if I can just swap the boards or whether there is more to it. BTW this is my first post so I apologize if it's in the wrong place. Thanks in advance for your help.
Not sure is that is possiible ... and with all that mess imo an used xt 910 phone is better option

It is possible for sure. I am using a XT910 mainboard in XT912 housing and display without a problem. :good:
