[Q] Verizon XT912 CDMA RAZR GSM roaming - Motorola Droid RAZR

GSM roaming works on the stock firmware but if I flash custom ROM like Rage, will it break Verizon CDMA RAZR MAXX working on GSM?

I'm using eclipse ROM in Germany on my XT912 with no issues. I've dabbled with noon stock ROMs and I think I remember using the GSM patch and they worked well.

.xt910 is the gsm version of the razr. verizons is always .xt912. hopefully that helps fix some of your problems updating your razr.

i want same info ... thx to anyone to reply !
I myself will reply for my question
Motorola razr XT912 is unlocked by default in ice cream sandwich update.
You can also manually unlock it in 2.3 version too.
The mobile phone would work in gsm mode only in non USA operators.

Since no one has responded to my request let me answer my own questions :
1) Moto Razr XT912 4.1.2 can be unlocked to be used on GSM ( am using in IND )
2) Root Exploit is also available which enables & provides you root access. ( Which is highly Easy : all thanks to those who developed it )
I liked the phone so much that bought another for normal use and one for Ubuntu

Well, yes I know you can use GSM on stock unlocked verizon's XT912 on ICS(or later), but the thing I really want to know is:
When it comes to choose a custom rom, using the cdma_spyder version, will stop my gsm working?
Will a umts_spyder version of the software brick the phone?
Actually I still can't understand the real differences between the two motherboards (I even read that putting a xt912's battery in a xt910, will make the phone think it's a MaXX)
Again, thank you kindly
As per me !

XT912 & XT910 are same phone with same chipset TI OMAP 4430. Only difference in the two is while the prior is Global Phone ( all frequency support ) later is GSM Only ( and 2MP front cam vs 1.3MP ).
XT912 conversion to Maxx is completely different. XT910 & XT912 both have same battery 1780mAH while the Maxx has 3300mAH battery.
For Ubuntu Touch I plan to have UMTS_sypder custom ROM https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices/umts_spyder ( at my own risk )
I won't be able to tell much, as all I am doing is on my own gathering bits and pieces from the fourm ( as no one seems to come forward with all the answers clearly. )

Wow, so you just destroyed my castle... I mean I tought "XT912" was the code for MAXX, and now I don't actually know what I'm buying, and what I SHOULD search for!
All this confusion is putting me on an italian xt910, but this will mean no 3300mAH battery...

my understanding 912 is a hybrid qualcomm mdm 6600 ti wrigley LTE radio chipset and the 910 is a qualcomm msm 890 snapdragon Soc. that is why the american gsm unlock thread utilizing radiocomm will not work on a xt912. it will recognize the sim and number but the radio portion of the chipset is directed to pass over the american carriers. the 912 will work in europe and central america on foreign prepaid sim cards. i have one and tried it. still looking for an american gsm unlock fix for an xt912.

This comes from completely nob point of view, I just disabled entitelment check on my thetering of XT912, if there is an option of check on GSM also you could disable the same ( as I said am not sure whether there is such option available or not ).

[Q] Custom ROM for XT912 on GSM global

I have bought a Droid Razr XT912 to be used outside US. I understand ICS will unlock the GSM bands. My question is, will loading a custom CDMA ROM based on ICS allow me to use the the phone on GSM networks outside US? This probably is a stupid question, but I wasn't able to find any direct answer to it.
Thanks.

I pretty sure that the xt912 is the american cdma version of the DROID RAZR, so installing ICS or any other ROM wont help you with gsm bands.
the CDMA have other anthena or something.
BUT check the correct model you have.

The XT912 has GSM bands as well. I'm pretty certain after going through these forums that the ICS update unlocks the GSM bands. I'm keen on a custom ROM coz it will get rid of most of the bloatware & give additional functionality as well.

Thanks monkteo for confirming. Are u using a custom ROM? I'm inclined towards the Eclipse 1.5 but want someone to confirm it works on XT912 for GSM use.

I use all 3 rooms from the signature, and only on GSM / UMTS.
I have tried to use on GSM networks but it won't connect, and I have changed the settings a few times for the Mobile Networks. I am trying to use AVATAR ROM on the XT912. Thanks!

GSM or CDMA ROM for me?

I have a Verizon Razr XT912.
I'll be using it in Europe on GSM connection with Europe's local network.
So, which ROM (GSM or CDMA) should I flash? Its the CDMA phone but I'll be using the GSM connection.
stock cdma rom have gsm roaming working in europe. you just have to insert gsm card and use stock ics.

I tried cm10.1 but it have problems with switching between CDMA and GSM.
Also Eclipse 1.5.1 CDMA is working fine in GSM networks.
I had EDGE working on stock ICS CDMA ROM, but on latest official JB I have no data connection under gsm. Only CDMA 3G. Voice is OK.

I think u have to erase ur cid than flash jb EU kernel and then EU jb rom, there is tutorial for BMM, search it and read through it, should work the same way like flashing cdma Roms to XT910

Flashing an XT910 ROM won't help you.
XT912 is capable of working on same carrier frequencies as XT910 without any modification.
XT912 is the Verizon version which can run on GSM networks outside US.
So if something is wrong on your carrier side, it won't solve,
while if something is wrong on your phone side, if fixable, it can be fixed without flashing a GSM ROM.

Wrong. Xt912 is Verizon cdma. Xt910 is gsm version.
The model number in no way tells whether or not you have the maxx version.
