Hi
just purchased a XT912
its on 2.3.6
want it to be used in India for gsm purpose
can anyone help me
what should i do to get gsm going in the phone on GB
or should i update it to ICS and simply insert the gsm sim and change network to gsm and start using ?
i havent used this phone ever before.
regards
I think that is impossible :S
The hardware in the CMDA version is diferent to the on in the GSM, so you would only be able to get CMDA signals and not GSM
You are wrong
The Verizon version has both GSM as well as CDMA radios
Just updated it to ICS and GSM is working fine.
Though all gsm operators outside us will be working

Does anyone know if the atrix can be unlocked for use on other carriers such as t-mobile or verizon? You know those weird kids who use cdma. Really wanting to trade my atrix for the droid 3 and the limiting factor would be if its possible for verizon users to be able to use my phone on their network.
CMDA & GSM
Yes , Atrix can be unlocked (I unlocked it and using on T-mobile)
But it CAN NOT be used on Verizon due to different band of network (Atrix run on GSM, but Verizon use CDMA network).
And Droid 3 can be use on any network ( It supports both CDMA and GSM )
Heh Beast! I gotcha works on GSM and not CDMA. Many thanks!!
Hi
Is it possible to use CDMA version of EVO 3D with GSM band??? I know that there is no SIM card slot on board but except this PCB looks very similar.
Of cource firmware is different aswell, but I saw on forum that someone use ROM from CDMA version on GSM model even without changing H-boot, so porting from GSM to CDMA should work aswell??
And last thing if I will flash radio from GSM into CDMA I will permanently brick my phone or I will be able to repair it with bootloader??
Thanks for replay....
Erm... Quite simply... No. Too risky as software / hardware differences will leave you with an irrecoverable brick.
There are no drivers for GSM to CDMA bands etc.
People do change their bands with Custom Roms but im pretty sure that it isn't easy at all.
Invest in a GSM version. They have dropped severely in price.
I will be doing some international travel soon with my Photon to countries where GSM is standard. I usually just buy some cheap unlocked GSM phone and get a chip to use when I'm in-country.
How does GSM in the Photon work? Is it unlocked and can I just put in a chip from an international carrier when I'm in another country? I'm using Jokersax CM9, is there configuration I need to do there to use the GSM network instead of CDMA when I'm abroad? From what I can tell all I need to do is use *#*# info #*#* and then set the radio to GSM and have the chip in. I'd really like a confirmation that it actually works from someone using this now with this ROM since I don't want to land in country and then figure out it didn't work. So any tips on tricks that need to be done or just a confirmation that's all it takes would be fantastic.
Also - I'm assuming domestic GSM doesn't work at all, correct? As in, if I went and bought a prepaid GSM card from AT&T I can't just put it in, switch to GSM and go, right?
I am living in Israel and using the Photon (with cm9 0.6.1) on a gsm network. it works awesome!
just put your sim card and start having fun

so I am in canada using wind mobile but i want to use the sim card in the rezound, i have it rooted and flashed to the ViperRez but everytime i put in the wind mobile sim card it shows roaming! anyway i could fix this...maybe mess with the settings? or any other roms that you recommend? i would appreciate the help! thanks
If you are on a GSM network (Wind mobile says it's a UTMS/HSPA network which is based off of GSM) you need to flash the GSM patch or run a rom that is made for GSM. I'm on Verizon (a CDMA network) so I really have no experience with this.
I think any rom siul puts out is gsm.

Anybody know does the Motorola ELECTRIFY M XT901 (U.S. Cellular) have GSM module? It great phone, I'am realy love it, but I want to use it with GSM carrier. Maybe need some software or hardware modification?
Motorola Electrify M on GSM network
so I would like to know: will it work with this phone GSM network (no CDMA and LTE)?
Can anybody insert sim of GSM carrier??? What will hapends in this case?
The Electrify M XT901 uses a different baseband chip than its RAZR M cousin. It lacks GSM radios and 5GHz Wifi. The phone itself also lacks GSM antenna. There are no options in the stock ROM for Global or GSM modes, and even though 3rd party RAZR M ROMs can work in the Electrify M, those options won't work due to lack of GSM radio.
I don't make it a habit to necro-post, but just thought I would answer this question because it's one of the first Google hits when searching for this info.
