Hey guys,
a friend of mine who recently moved to China bought a Droid Razr a week ago and wanted me to walk him through installing CM10 on it and well... here's the weird thing:
According to the system menu it's an XT912, but it has a (micro)sim slot. It looks like an XT912 but only has 8GB flash.
It also had Superuser preinstalled.
Surprisingly it still seems to be a legit Motorola device, since apparently you have to make a Motorola account to download updates and stuff.
I'm honestly confused. Anybody know what to do with it?
Sounds like a KIRF.
Pics would probably help clear this whole thing up though.
I asked him for pics. These aren't perfect, but yeah.

I've been suspecting a fake too. Mostly because super user was preinstalled.
The system version is 65.1.40.XT912.AsiaRetail.en.03 which also seems weird, considering it has the Verizon logo.
I don't know, that looks exactly like mine. I have the Verizon RAZR Maxx, model number XT912. The XT912 has a SIM card slot right next to the SD card slot. It needs a SIM to use the Verizon 4G LTE service.

Hi,
I have bought a new moto droid razr maxx(verzion) from ebay usa,then shipping it to Singapore.
I try to start it with Singtel SIM card, but always stopping at registering network screen which is after I touch the Android logo in welcome screen.
Shows"This SIM card is from an unknown source."
As I know,verzion support CDMA.
I am in Singapore,Singtel StarHub M1 all support GSM,WCDMA.
And droid razr maxx support GSM,WCDMA,CDMA.
So I think GSM and WCDMA model maybe locked by verzion. But I can't get CDMA network in my area.
Is there any solution for me to use it with WCDMA SIM card?
Thanks.
The Verizon Droid RAZR and Droid RAZR MAXX do not support GSM or WCDMA. The hardware may be there, but it is likely disabled. No-one has had any success trying to change that, I'm afraid you've bought yourself an expensive paperweight.

not exactly paperweight. u can buy a razr locally & swap the battery with Maxx. just that u end up buying a razr maxx with double the price.

That is definitely the best solution. Transplanting the regular flavour RAZR battery to the MAXX and selling it off would at lest recoup some of the lost funds.

Ok...Thank you very much.
One more solution.
Try to find a Verzion user in US.
Then send it back..
I have a buddy with a XT912 that he can't dump due to a bad ESN.
He is willing to give it to me, I have heard rumors that you can re-flash the XT912 with the 910 software to unlock the GSM part of the phone...
Will that allow it to work with AT&T?
The specs I have seen show the 912 has the radio built in, just locked.
Can you re-flash it for AT&T?
i would like to know as well. my gf has a droid razr.
At the moment is not posible
There is another post which can help and i also got the same problem

Lots of info but don't think anyone has it fully working on AT&T yet, I know I'm stuck with it seeing the sim but never connecting to network.

***UPDATE 6/26/2012***
Ok, not all the info that I got before was 100% correct. It looks like RAZR / MAXX is unlocked only for Global(GSM) use which is outside of USA. The Tmobile and ATT sims are not fully working as of right now.
We have couple amazing Devs which are working to resolve this issue.
Please PM me if you want me to update the OP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the Bionic forum people found a way to activate disabled feature of couple 4g verizon phones to be able to use it on GSM networks.
Can someone test it please?

Amazing...no one here has any interest in this? maybe you should have posted in the development section. This is great news if it gets working on the razr.
I posted this earlier...as far as I know it's still a work in progress but very cool nonetheless.

Welp the Bionic can't do it for sure. Doesn't have a GSM radio... at all.

Actually the Bionic does have a GSM radio.
The Razr, 4, Bionic all have the same Qualcomm global radio and a separate LTE radio.
The only thing preventing the Razr, Droid 4 or Bionic from connecting to GSM is the firmware.
The Droid 4 is scheduled for GSM upgrade.

I was under the impression that we just needed the unlock code. Once we have it from say...att, then we put the sim in,enter the code and good to go...maybe its not that easy but on YouTube it looks pretty close lol.
As far as I know it's not that easy due to the fact that the GSM modem itself is disabled. Unless your talking about roaming onto the LTE network. Though ATT uses different frequencies.

I was really surprised that people did not accept this news well. I was extremely happy to hear that we can use our phones with GSM providers since I am planing to travel soon.

Yeah. No thought about lte if I had to use GSM. I feel dumb as that's the entire point of the maxx being called a global phone lol. There's a video and it is really easy to do.

I think people will highly appreciate if you provide more detailed information, because there should be some differences in this hack between RAZR and Bionic.

Thank you I will follow it later on.
this could get interesting
Okay so, here's my predicament..I'm currently using an Atrix 2 with a regular sized SIM card and wanted to test this out on a busted VZW Razr I got from work (there's a huge crack in the screen and it was just collecting dust). If I went into an AT&T store and bought a micro-SIM, would it work?
The only reason I'm confused is because all I know that AT&T uses the micro-SIMs for is the iPad; I don't know if the structure of the SIM card changes to accomodate just data, or if voice will be able to be transmitted as well.
Just picked up a vzw RAZR. My fourth android phone. This one does not have service and i am using it purely to learn. Calls and text mean nothing. Using this purely as a remote for my computer, and i might use this as a phone later if my girl and i decide to go back to vzw as Sprint is horrible.
My question is this.... does it matter if i flash GSM or CDMA roms if i am not worried about service? And if i can, can i return it to factory stock if i decide to play around. From my experience on past phones, i would assume the latter is fully plausible.... if the difference between romtypes doea not matter.
For reference: this phone is XT912 (non maxx) no sim, no contract.
Thanks guys!

It has to be CDMA ROM. It depends on what you flash it with on being able to go back to stock, most it's yes, but some like many of the ICS leaks at least at this time is no. I don't if there's any work arounds but if you do a FDR on at least the stock ROMs you can do anything with the Razr until you put a SIM card in.

Last info I got was that the XT 912 will only work on global GSM carriers. It has been locked from USA GSM carriers. I have heard some reports that some people can get it to work on AT&T with voice only no data. If my information is outdated I apologize hopefully I helped in some way.
Edit: I thought I would add that I own an XT 910 and XT 912, currently operating on Deutsche Telekom (German T-Mobile)
