Modify Verizon XT912, to use with ptel/tmo/usa sim - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hello Everyone,
Excuse the noob questions, if they are. I tried to search.
I'm aware with the last ICS update, the sim slot was updated to accept GSM sim cards, excluding certain US sims. Is it possible to install XT910 retail roms/firmware onto the xt912 so that I can use domestic sims?
I've got a Verizon XT912 that I'll never use on verizon again, and bought a prepaid sim for use during the next two weeks. Is it possible to disable CDMA or bypass the verizon lock?
Thanks!

[Q] use alternate phones with at&t

Ok I'm not a total Noob but if anyone can answer this question for me I'd be grateful.
Can I use a phone on at&t that is not offered by at&t, such as an eve from Sprint or a Droid x from version or a thunderbolt or the new Motorola razor!
At&t uses GSM which uses sim cards. Verizon and Sprint use CDMA which is a different technology. Sometimes phones will be global and have both CDMA and a GSM sim slot. My Droid 3 is global but Verizon locks US GSM carriers.
So basic if it has a sin slot and I can root it then yes, otherwise no

CDMA Drazr and GSM network

Hi,
I live overseas and my network uses GSM 800/900/1900/2100 and UMTS 850/1900 (sams as AT&T)
All Verizon Razr come with SIM slot?
Are they UMTS 850/1900 compatible? Will I get 3G and H data?
What about Razr MAXX? Does it come with SIM slot?
I need to SIM unlock it or is it ready to put any micro SIM?
Hope you can enlighten me with this info.
Best Regards.

the cdma and gsm razr both have the same razr, with the cdma razr on ics you can use non U.S. sims no problem. so if you are oversea from the us you could get the branded cdma razr cheap, put it on ICS and use your sim. it should get 3g/H as my razr (gsm did with an at&t sim) so in global mode the cdma should
(don't take me a100% on this, but i am sure from what i read, but i am in the us. so i can't test it myself. maybe wait till someone else chimes in)
my questions is similar to this one if anyone could help..thanks

Thanks for your reply.
I am asking this (and so is my friend on the post above this one) because Verizon CDMA phones are always cheaper than GSM.... even cheaper if the have BAD ESN...
So, every Motorola RAZR have micro SIM Slot? Are they unlocked or I need to buy the code? Do you remember the Droid 2 Global? Those had SIM slot's but some of them had they unlock code changed and were IMPOSSIBLE to unlock... hope this is not the case with the RAZR.

from what i've read on the forums you need to either put the verizon razr on ice cream sadwhich (4.0.4) or use the hack to enable global mode in gingerbread (2.3.x)
so no unlock code. and yes, the verizon razr uses the micro sim for 4g lte sim

i have the gsm version (xt910, sorry i wasn't as clear about that as i thought, i said gsm, should've put xt910)
the xt910 has the cdma disabled and the xt912 has american gsm blocked.
and I've seen a few people claiming they flashed an xt910 to a cdma network like metro (it does have the radio, and couldn't the flashing program give them the esn/ect?
but i use it on simple mobile (so only edge for me. i might go to t-mobiles $50 plan if the non throttled edge is faster)

Razr on GSM?

So I was looking at the Razr xt910 and it turned out, there are actually 2 models. One is XT910 and the other is the one marked with Verizon.
My question is, can I use the Verizon branded Razr outside the US on GSM network, those which use a SIM card?
I have seen some posts saying ATT and T-mobile won't work, but will I be able to use it overseas and on a local GSM carrier?
Any method by rooting?
Let me be clear, I am thinking of using a foreign SIM card so I get local call rates and NOT a US carrier with international roaming which has escalated call rates.

XT910 use GSM and XT912 use CDMA.. Each model can only use their network type because each network type use different frequencies.

Possible, but a few days back AFAIK there was some news saying Verizon to get GSM usable on 912 with upcoming ICS upgrade.

[Q] Using SM900P in Vietnam.

Good day folks,
I have purchased a 900p from a friend in USA for a good deal, the problem is that the phone has a bad ESN and was for sprint, I was wondering if i take this phone to Vietnam will it with with any regular sim card? I'm not expecting any thing fancy like 4g or LTE in VN but I just want to know if this phone will work in VN, I've read from multiple sources that the 900p is internationally unlocked but is locked for domestic US sims, can any one verify if that is true? also aware I might not be able to do a SPRINT SIM unlock because of the BAD ESN. Any one have any suggestions?

It won't work in VN unless you ask sprint to unlock the international sim lock.But they won't help you because yours is a bad ESN one.
Just waiting for heros to work out how to unlock without sprint's help.

Unlocking Verizon LG G6

Are those places (sites) that you pay to unlock your phone legit? Is it possible to unlock the Verizon version of the G6 so I can use it on T-Mobile or does the Verizon G6 not have the proper bands support?

Verizon doesn't lock their LTE phones. You should be able to drop a SIM card in it and have it work.
I don't know about all the LTE bands though.
I'm on Verizon. Seems everyone I had would work on most carriers out of the box. I had S7 Edge (Verizon) worked on a few different prepaid Sims. I also added a new phone for me and put a dif sim in my old LG Stylus and sent to my son in Boise. And put old sim in my LG G6 and it worked (cause I needed old number in new phone and new SIM went in older phone.
Hopefully that made since haha.
Just remember that the phone/SIM must be in good standing or you will have problems sometimes when activating on major companies. Unless its prepaid SIM you can pop a new one in that's already activated.

I'll have a chance to buy new Verizon LG G6 for cheap, but I'm on AT&T network. Just want to confirm before pull the trigger, do I need a Verizon SIM to activate the phone first then swap with AT&T SIM, or just put in the AT&T SIM would be fine? Thanks in advance!
Put the att sim in, during setup connect to WiFi. After setup input apn settings. Restart the phone. The phone may occasionally inform you that the inserted sim is not a VZW sim. I think that will go away after you disable all the VZW apps.
I have tried different sims but does not recognize the sim. Only recognizes verizon sim. I'm not a verizon customer and where I am at we don't have verzion.
any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Update: Working now. Sim card readers were bent.
