RAZR have 2 types: XT910&XT912
Isn`t XT912 a global phone ?
what the fxxx.
developer.motorola.com/products/droid-razr-xt912
then what`s this there?
Just have a look at the Connectivity of the URL.
xt912 - for verizon
xt910 - for world
The hardware is there but I think the radios have been disabled.
The XT910 only has GSM and WCDMA bands while the XT912 have LTE, CDMA, GSM, and WCDMA bands...

the US version is CDMA I believe and outside it is GSM minus the 4G LTE radios..
It was stated from the start/announcement of the phone that theres going to be 2 variations from the get go. 1 CDMA/LTE fro the US (VZA) and 1 GSM/HSPA+ for global.
HI,
My Cousin is going to buy a droid Razr from Craigslist and send it to me here in india
I wanted to Know
1. He is going to buy a Droid Razr Verizon Lte phone will it work in india on GSM.
2. If not then any other Version that i should buy?
3. If yes then would i have to root it and then it would work.
I would really Appreciate if you could help me out.
Check out the frequency bands the Droid RAZR supports. Theoretically, it should work on CDMA networks in India. The LTE bands won't work (obviously) due to the lack of 4G LTE support in India. But Reliance and Tata Indicom CDMA networks should support the phone just fine.
Take Razr XT910 cuz it will support GSM as Droid by verizon is exclusive product for verizon network if u have to take their product then u need to break contract with them so to avoid complecations take XT910

Well, LTE is GSM-based. SO you should be able to. But yeah, the complications are a lot. Just get the XT910 then. Otherwise get it for CDMA, no issues with that. And don't worry about it being exclusive to Verizon, it can be unlocked locally.

Well That is basically what i want to know. If i go for LTE verizon can i use it in India.Anybody who is using it.
The Reason for me stressing on LTE verizon is Because My Cousin has got it for me.
So If there is nothing i cant do it then ill ask him to sell it again.
- Anyone who is using LTE VErizon in India?
Sell it. XT912 does not work on GSM full stop.

If you absolutely must have a RAZR, yes, you'll need to do just that.
I'd recommend buying a less awful phone full stop, though.

GSM support Verizone Droid Razr?
GSM capability of droid razr??
as per below link Razr support GSM networks.
droidmatters.com/news/verizon-confirms-global-gsm-roaming-coming-to-the-droid-razr-razr-maxx-htc-rezound-and-lg-spectrum/
does this conclude we can use it on GSM network like ATT or in India?
So, I was wanting to buy an unlocked verizon phone (XT910) on ebay. But I live in Brazil and wanna use it with a GSM carrier. Is there any problem?
Thanks

Yes its a CDMA phone which is old tech which is not compatible with GSM. Try and buy the GSM one which is XT912 I think.
The XT910 is the GSM model and the XT912 is the CDMA Verizon model. As long as you buy an unlocked XT910 you should be able to use it on any GSM carrier.
Does Verizon sell gsm variant?

The Verizon Razr does come with GSM radios. I believe with the ICS update the global SIM capability has been unlocked. Check this thread for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1619563&highlight=verizon+razr+gsm+radio
Hope this helps.

Verizon and Sprint (Virgin, Boost) = CDMA
Tmobile and ATT = GSM
If your phone says Verizon on it then it is CDMA.
Also, the XT912 is CDMA, and the XT910 is the GSM version.

As per my knowledge XT912 is mostly the CDMA version from Verizon. It should work with GSM carriers outside US and Data should be available on supported Freq. in GSM mode. However, this data will not work in CDMA mode.
If you wish to flash it to some CDMA carrier in your country, it is possible. However, I do not have the details for that.
Yes the xt912 is cdma and it is a gsm phone also but has to be out of the USA to work with gym.

For 1, just insert the SIM and the phone should work on GSM network. (Please check the 3G frequencies on which that carrier operates and whether they are supported by XT912 or not).
Data will not work in CDMA mode, only GSM.
For 2, I dont clearly understand the question but like I said, CDMA data will not work with any other carrier except Verizon (If it is a verizon phone)

oke so need to do is to configure the mobile network ( data and mms), haha sorry in my country both GSM and CDMA used SIM CARD but CDMA still can be used even without SIM CARD on Phone like from verizon, sprint etc.
Yes, you can only use cdma when on a US domestic carrier (specifically, Verizon). GSM is only for international networks. I believe, with the appropriate flash file found here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_spyder/list.php
you should have no problem, internationally. The phone will not work on other domestic networks, as the carriers here in the US like to secure contracts.

Hi there.
I want to reply your questions one by one instead you must be already clear with the answers you already received:
1. Motorola Droid Razr XT912 is GSM or CDMA ?? or it can use both of them
A./ XT912 is CDMA. But yes, this device is capable to manage both bands depending the ROM you are using on it.
2. I have Nexus S 4G ( CDMA/Sprint) and i just flash it to another CDMA Carrier in my Country. Can i do the same thing with Droid Razr XT912 ?
A./ Sure, you can flash any ROM you want, just be clear that if you mount a xt910 ROM it will work on GSM networks. If you want to use that XT910 ROM on CDMA bands, you will need to change the build props of the ROM.
3. I read in some of thread in XDA after update Razr XT912 to ICS it can be use to another carrier and just insert the sim card without need enter the unlock code. its true ??
A./ As I know, that is not true. But I'm not sure, maybe someone else can tell you something different.
Regards.
