Good day gentlemen, and Happy Lunar New Year to all who's in Asia
Sorry for bringing this up. But I'm thinking of getting myself a IS12M (KDDI au's Motorola Razr XT909)
Yes, I know, I know KDDI's phone can NOT be unlocked, especially, well, we're talking about Motorola here.
However, after a while, I dig up this. Since my Japanese is not good at all, could any one here help me translate the content below, pretty please?:silly:
RAZR IS12MのSIMロックを解除する(修正3)
少し前にいろいろ試した結果、ロック解除コード入力ではSIMロック解除できなかったIS12Mですが、なんとDroid RAZR XT912用のbp.imgを焼くことによってロック解除が実現されたようです。
非常に簡単にですがまとめました。なお、この作業を行うとau回線での使用ができなくなります。
元に戻したい場合はIS12Mのbp.imgを焼けばOKです。IS12Mのbp.imgは、Android 4.0へのメジャーアップデートの際のアップデートファイルか、最近の更新時のファイルに入っているようです。アップデートファイルの取り出し方はこちらやこちらを参考にしてください。
まずはBootstrap BootMenuの作者であり、わざわざdoggismaの掲示板にて詳しく教えて下さった、whirleyes氏に多大なる感謝を。
必要なもの
・ICSアップデート済み・root化済みのIS12M
・Bootstrap BootMenu 0.2.7
・Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip
アンロック方法
1.Bootstrap BootMenu 0.2.7を導入する
・インストールしたアプリを起動し、導入する
2..bp.imgを焼く
・Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zipからbp.imgを取り出し、/sdcard/にコピーする
・再起動、カスタムリカバリーに入り、Flash radio firmware→Choose bp.img, lte.img or cefs.imgを選択する
・先ほどコピーしたbp.imgを選択し、flashする
3.docomoやSoftBankのSIMを認識するようになっているはず
この状態でもドコモなどで通話はできますが、APNの設定が上手くいかず、3Gでのパケット通信ができません。
データ通信できるようにする
Bootstrap BootMenuでサポートされているデュアルブート機能を使って、2ndシステムにXT912向けのROMを焼きます。このデュアルブート機能は、ICSへのアップデートによって使われなくなったwebtop領域を活用して、2つ目のROMをインストールできるようにしたものらしいです。
現在動作を確認しているのはEclipse Razr ICS v1.2。
1.ROMの変換
・zip形式で配布されているROMはSafestrap用なので、それをSafestrap ROM Converterを使って、Bootstrap BootMenuで焼ける形式に変換
2.現在のROMをバックアップする
・adbから以下のコマンドで/systemと/cidのバックアップを取る(重要)
dd if=/dev/block/system of=/mnt/sdcard/system.img
dd if=/dev/block/cid of=/mnt/sdcard/cid.img
・また、カスタムリカバリーに入りBackup & restore→Full backup(かなり長い)
3.カスタムROMをFlashする
・カスタムリカバリーでMounts & format→format /webtopでwebtop領域をフォーマットする
・Toggle second system recovery→Install zip packageから変換後のROMをFlashする。終わったらReboot options→Reboot to 2nd-systemで2ndシステムを起動する
これでAPNの設定をすると、WCDMAでも通信できるようになっているはずです。
ただ、例として出したEclipse Razr ICSはROMの容量が大きいせいか、インストール後の空き容量がほとんどありません。常用を考えるなら別のROMがいいでしょう。
または、/dataや/cacheを別のパーティションに移動する方法があるようですので、xdaを参考に試してみてください。
1st-systemへのインストールは怖くてやっていませんが、XT912のものをまるまる焼けば、上記の問題は発生しないかもしれません。
しかし、1st-systemが起動しなくなるとBootMenuにも辿り着けず、完全な文鎮になってしまいますので注意してください。
XT912化が成功したら是非ご連絡ください。

The source of it: doggisma.com/motorola/razr-xt909/razr-xt909_unlock-2
Basically, this guy successfully roots ---> unlocks the IS12M (ICS required) using Verizon's version of Razr (ICS)
Thank you very much in advance
may help?
prerequisites: is12m updated to ics, rooted, Bootstrap Bootmenu 0.2.7, and Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip (google it and download from MIRROR 3)
Unlock it:
1. Install Bootmenu 0.2.7 to is12m and run it from device and prepare for writing boot image in next step.
2.1 Unzip Blur_Version.6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip and get bp.img and copy it to /sdcard/
2.2 Reboot it and enter the CWM recovery (Not sure Bootstrap installs this or you must install by yourself), select Flash radio firmware and Choose bp.img, lte.img or cefs.img.
2.3 Choose bp.img (on /sdcard/)
3. At this point, is12m detects docomo/softbank/any? sim, but cannot connect to 3g (cannot change apn)
Enable 3G:
Basically enable dual boot using webtop space (here using Eclipse Razr ICS v1.2)
4. Convert Eclipse Razr ICS ROM from safestrap rom to bootstrap rom using Safestrap Rom Converter.
5. Backup your original /system and /cid image
5.1 adb shell dd if=/dev/block/system of=/mnt/sdcard/system.img
5.2 adb shell dd if=/dev/block/cid of=/mnt/sdcard/cid.img
5.3 Reboot and enter cwm recovery, select Backup & restore, and choose Full Backup(takes long time)
6.1 In cwm recovery, select Mounts & format, then format/webtop
6.2 continued in cwm? select Toggle second system recovery, then install zip package, and select CONVERTED ROM
6.3 select Reboot options, and Reboot to 2nd system
7. At this point, you can change apn so that you can use any prefered network.
Notice: Eclipse Rom works, but uses much space, so find smaller rom you can use.
Notice: Do not flash to original system partition, but flashing XT912 rom to 1st-system may works, but is much more dangerous. Once 1st system is broken, there's no way to run Bootmenu. So be careful if you do so.
Thanks man, and sorry for the late reply
Truthfully, the only reason I want to unlock IS12M is that I like the white version. Too bad I can not find it anywhere except Yahoo Auction Japan, which is packed with IS12M white.
So........is there any way more secured/safer to unlock it? Much appreciate for any help.

Hello brother, you are when for Asia?if you want to use is12m in hk,be careful, because maybe the sim card is different. Is same to use GSM/wcdma, but haven't the baseband to find the network. It can read the sim card but can't find any signal,I try all hk simcard.
Hi, did anybody successfully unlock this model IS12M? I was wondering if it can be unlocked by code.
I checked sim-unlock(dot)net and they are now offering for an unlock code. I used their service before for the IS11M(motorola photon) and it worked. Just want somebody to confirm before I buy this. http://sim-unlock.net/simlock/Motorola/IS12M/
Thanks.
Don't buy your unlock code. It does not work on the IS12M since it only reads UIM sim card. Flashing the Verizon baseband works but the problem is I cant sent SMS but I can receive. I just deleted my CID and flash the Verizon JB ROM.. Thanks to Whirleyes for BMM..:good:

Hi guys... I recently flashed wrong boot.img to my phone and now it's dead... but not completely dead.
It at least open the recovey menu and if i plug the phone on usb with the exclamation symbol the RSD Lite detect the phone.
The big problem is that i can't find either update.zip or rom in sbf or shx format.
Someone here have that rom? i tried compiling update.zip with an backup of romdump... But without success.
www megaupload com/?d=DQDXDFFY
well I found this version but do not know if anger already running on your spice this is a Brazilian updating your possilvelmente mobilicity should be (if I mistake not)
mine too died a few days still do gain compensation, something with the signature updating the sdcard
writes as if by rsd lite my spice not recognized?
THanks! I will download this update and see if it restore my phone.
It's a update that only go to the card and flash in recovery menu or need to flash with rsd lite?
Sorry for double post.
I tried to flash but no success.
It fails to flash... I think that's because that i don't have the boot partition on my phone, but it boot fine in recovery menu and show the infos on RSD Lite
Here's the log:

Hi All,
I am also in dire need of a stock ROM for my XT300 Spice. Can anyone point to a Canadian (Mobilicity) SBF file, or update.zip?
I have already flashed the Brazilian version but it cannot find the Mobilicity network, it's only finding Rogers, even though I have a Mobilicity SIM. Any ideas?
Many thanks!
After doing some more research today I figured I may not need another ROM. The Brazilian ROM seems just fine BUT it did change the baseband, that's why it's not finding the network anymore.
Still, I have no clue on how to restore or fix the baseband. Can anyone point to a "how-to" and a baseband (modem) image or dump file off a stock Mobilicity Motorola Spice?
Please help!
Dial *#*#4636#*#* on the phone
Diagnostic/testing screen pops up. Select Phone Information
Scroll down and choose WCDMA only
does that work? just a small tip
Exactly the same for me, Any solution?

Setting from "phone information" does'nt work unless u dont have the right baseband software for desired country....
what are those baseband versions?
Would you folks mind just posting the various Baseband Versions you're referencing, and whether the particular XT300 is AWS Mobilicity or the rumored 850&1900 AT&T version? My Mobilicity is A309_U3_01.71.0. I am assuming Baseband is the place to look, since the Streak actually SAYS AWS in it, if you have one of those rare birds, but no one seems to know what the non-AWS will say on the Spice XT300.
Thank you.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Hey,
Do you have an SBF file of your firmware or know how to extract it off the phone?
Thanks.
Block file updated!
I've successfully update my LATAM device, Claro BR RAZR XT910 to ICS 4.0.4 - 67.2.120 (China Retail).
UPDATE: Tested and working on USA GSM
Everything is working, including hardware acceleration (thanks to update 3.0.8 kernel)
New webtop version. Radio is better than 2.3.6/2.3.5 in Brazil. No FCs since installation! (3 days ago)
The only downside: usb mass storage don't work.
Attention!! This was supposed to be permanent, no way to go back to 2.3.6 after updating to this kernel. UPDATE: I managed to downgrade back to t-mobile 2.3.6 via RSD without any issues. I just modified the XML to prevent internal storage erasing. Important!
Original thread on http://www.grupoandroid.com/topic/44109-gsm-ics-404-china-retail/
I just modified some things to make sure it works on LATAM devices.
Instructions:
1. Make sure you are on 2.3.6 (flash by RSD Lite, no fake nandroid "flashing")
2. Uncompress mmcblk1p18-go.rar to SD card.
3. Root with Motofail
4. Make a backup copy with ADB (you need root permissions, send "su" command first)
(very important! will be used in the future to remove boot error or if you want to have a remote possibility of downgrade)
Code:
cat /dev/block/mmcblk1p18> /sdcard-ext/mmcblk1p18-back
5. Overwrite block 18 with ADB:
Code:
cat /sdcard-ext/mmcblk1p18-go> /dev/block/mmcblk1p18
If you got any error up here don't proceed, make sure last step was successful!
6. Make sure your battery is charged and flash China Retail 4.0.4, you need to unpack and find default_flash.xml inside p2b_spyder-umts_spyder-user-4.0.4-6.7.2_GC-120-175-release-keys folder. Use this XML for flashing with RSD lite.
7. Let it reboot and finish the process, after 5 to 10 minutes, reset and Press VolUp+VolDown+Power to enter boot menu. Now you must do the first boot with BP tools.
8. Navigate to BP tools with VolDown and press VolUp to enter. Wait for some time (I don't know how long yet).
8.1 Reboot and enter recovery. Let it finish upgrading recovery.
9. Wipe the device in recovery mode.
10. Go to the boot menu again and choose BP Tools option. It should boot up to ICS now (expect 4 to 8 minutes for the first boot)
11. Now you need root: This process will need many reboots, remember you will always need to reboot via BP Tools now (I will try to fix this!)
11.1: Download ICS4.0.4ROOT-FIXED
11.2: Activate USB debugging and execute "Step 1 - Flash 403.bat"
11.3: Execute "Step 2 - Root.bat" Follow instructions. Note: after the second step the device will boot up with a black screen (even using BP tools), don't worry it's "normal"! Wait for windows to detect a MTP USB Device and proceed...
11.4: After the last reboot, run "Step 3 - Recover.bat"
12. Install RazrICSBootstrap.apk with ADB ("adb install ....")
13. Flash latest GoogleApps http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
13.2 Start (as always) with BP Tools
You're ready to go! It's highly recommended to remove all Chinese apps with TitaniumBackup before installing your stuff!
Instructions for flashing T-Mobile ICS coming soon...
14. Install OTA RootKeeper from Play Store
15. Open Voodoo OTA RootKeeper and click Protect root
16.. and next: T-mobile 2.3.6 (downgraded bootloader to 0.6), T-mobile OTA ICS installed and running smoothly (no sdcard mount yet), planning to perform the so called "impossible downgrade"
Good luck with RAZR!
Nice job

By this you mean that after upgrading to this one, I won't be able to go back to 2.3.6, right?

Not for now. The only available languages are English and 2 variants of chinese. After all this is the China Retail version and their carriers are not so much "globalized"

Multi Mount SD-Card is saying device isn't compatible! I'll try with other apps later. And yes, it will be possible to update. Actually I'm going to test switching to the German ICS leak and/or american leak.

Technically yes, but i believe there is a way back.. I just didn't tried yet!
My test list for now:
1. ICS 4.0.4 Nandroid over China Retail, chances are we got SD card fixed, as the Chinese version was developed for a different Razr. Testing now! Again!
2. 672.152.43.en.EU leak, i've heard there are many languages available on this one Will never work... this one is for people coming from 2.3.6.
UPDATE! Both failed I'm not finished yet... will attempt later with build.prop modifications!

Just to confirm that downgrade is possible! Can't provide clear instructions yet, but I just installed SIGNED T-mobile 2.3.6 on my LATAM RAZR.
This is great news! Proving that our LatinAmerica devices are "free" now!
Did u downgrade from updated ota t-mobile?
How did u downgrade kernel?
U can downgrade from chinese ics the problem is from eu ota ics.

I did not tried yet, the kernel was using RSD Lite after changing the mmcblk1p18 file.
I've got some work to do now and no reason to downgrade from T-mobile ICS (everything is working like a charm) but i will test tomorrow!

So wait a second, if I use the mmcblk1p18 attached to the first post, I could flash en.eu and cn.eu ROMs via RSD Lite? Also, how did you get to the T-Mo ICS from T-Mo 2.3.6?

After reading a lot, for the last couple of days, i am still unsure which file and how should i flash in case of a brick
right now, i am having my phone right new, just updated to ICS. i want to flash some ROM, but until i do, i want to make sure i know what to do in case of a brick.
in my ABOUT menu, it is written 672.180.41.XT910.NonEFIGSRetail.en.EU. and I am located in EUROPE.
so, using RSD 5.7 what file from here should I use?

but i dont know which one of them is right for me.
or can i use DroidRazrUtility1.82, without any additional file? I am having 4.0.4 Android.

This thread should help you.
Thanks to the EternityProject team
And just in case you really really don't want to Brick, Root your device and Use Safestrap, I use it all the time. (Unless the rom can be flashed using BMM ONLY).
Rooting the device consequently applies that your device will no longer be under warranty, unless you flash the stock rom again or do a full unroot.
using safestrap 3 is the best and safest option forl rooting ur phone .. it keeps ur stock rom safe.

i really like SS, and i use it a lot on my former Droid 3, BUT..the ROM i want is for BMM (only?!) and 2nd of all, i really like to start the RAZR in ROM directly, without any safestrap, just like the stock MOTO ROM.
also, besides BMM and safestrap, can I use RazrTouchBlack, or RazrBootstrap-v2.0?

I would say that you've found a newer version with few minor improvements probably, both look the same to me. I've tried to unbrick using the above firmware (which i suggested) and was successful, so I would stick with that. Let me know if you need anything else.
This version drains a lot of battery, I then switched back to AsiaRetail, debloated it manually using app quarantine. And now, it very possibly gives the best battery life. The asiaretail fastboot file is here
After installing the above, you'll get an OTA update of 673.94.328.XT910.AsiaRetail.en.03 ...please update that as it fixes an sms issue in .324 version.
thanks.
so you say that the file for ASIA gives a better battery usage than the one for EU? but which file exactly for ASIA, because in the link, there are 3 of them. and i cannot download them without an account to that site. but i can try to find it elsewhere...but i dont know which ONE exactly.
is there a way to install the ROM without any safetsrap after it? or any recovery whatsoever? if a install it with BMM, then uninstall BMM and install SS..and uninstall SS...does all recovery disappear?

AsiaRetail Only, NO PSHAsiaRetail and NO MERetail And you need to use RSD Lite 5.7 and Motorola Drivers (32 bit or 64 bit based on your Windows OS) from here to flash the stock roms.. BMM, CWM or SS will not work to flash the stock roms, its only for installing custom roms. All the best. :good:
yeah, i knew about RDS and moto drivers.
i got misunderstood. i want to flash a custom ROM, but on the main system.
after i push the POWER ON button, the phone should start in the ROM directly without any safestrap/recovery menu. somehow, on my former D3 i managed to install a custom ROM in that way and the phone started in that Rom, without any recovery before. just like it start in the stock ROM.
i can get the file from here

after i push the POWER ON button, the phone should start in the ROM directly without any safestrap/recovery menu. somehow, on my former D3 i managed to install a custom ROM in that way and the phone started in that Rom, without any recovery before. just like it start in the stock ROM.
i can get the file from here

I'm not sure if thats possible.... with ss3.05 the safestrap menu shows up, but if you don't touch anything, it'll boot into active rom.
I accidently selected USA band on RAZR XT912 and it blocked all GSM signals . I was travelling so i applied the JB OTA update over JB and it bricked my RAZR .
How do i unbrick it . While upgrading to JB i read that there is no way to go back to ICS
Bricked my RAZR after selecting USA Band
http://batakang.com/ftp/?dir=DROID_RAZR
Place tho JB OTA on your sdcard
Download the last file in the list at the above link
Place phone in Fastboot mode
Pwr/vol+/vol-
Vol- to AP Fastboot
Vol+ to select
Run the .bat file in the extracted download
When complete phone will fail to load
Power down and use pwr/vol+/vol- again and select recovery
Apply JB update again
Unfortunately there's no way I'm aware of to go back to ICS but the above file will get you to a state where your phone will accept the update.
Razr blade is on the same FTP server if you want root

This solution works perfectly for unbricking Motorola RAZR XT912 .
-Selected USA Band---> signals blocked
-Applied OTA update of JB over existing JB ---->bricked my device
-Followed the above instructions--->everything working perfectly
Possibly bricked??
So I basically did the same thing. I manually upgrated to the JB OTA and my radio did not work at all. So I tried this fix and when I go to run this through stock recovery it just fails. So I tried to run it through Boot Manager on my phone but whenever I select it the screen just goes blank. Any idea's??? Im not feeling to good about this, please help if you can. Thank you in advance.
Hello am having the same issue I changed the Base band settings to USA band now I can't use a sim card on it . Hence, the signal is lost completely no network at all.
Am aware am suppose to flash the radio
Fastboot flash radio radio.img
I just wanna know the step by step procedures in accomplishing such task or any other method preferably that would yield the same end result.
Thank you

AS OF 9/1/2015
XT1528-Surnia_Verizon
Board- MSM8916
Bootloader-NOT UNLOCKABLE!- EVEN IF YOU GO THROUGH MOTO'S WEBSITE (Verizon Locked it, not moto. & verizon cant unlock it) Viewable by booting into recovery & reading the screen.
Android 5.0.2-armv7l-240 DPI
Updated to 5.1
200MHz-1.21GHz quad core-Qualcomm Snapdragon 400/410
Root- No Write/full access-Cant seem to uninstall system apps on Android 5.0?/5.1
Screenshot: Attached at bottom of KINGROOT APK(4.5) via One click root method working on my updated 5.1 lolipop xt1528.
KingRoot does not root your device, just allows for removal of pre installed software via kinguser.After uninstalling, it crashed my Google launcher app & was fixed via rebooting which caused my system to have to re-optimize all apps which took 5 minuets. Root access is denied. Autostart manager works
Unrootable, Locked bootloader, but excellent capability. I love 5.1 better. I wouldnt recommend this device for anonymous browsing (I like to use Tor as a VPN), torrenting, or sharing. But I love the battery (lasts all day without heavy gaming use), phone calls & txts, Browsing the web is good too. I love being able to take out my phone and say "Ok Google" to vocally search or open things (like cortana) and my phone talk back. As well as the easy-to Use feeling comes if you've expierienced 5.0 before, a little confusing if you've been stuck on <4.0.I feel comfortable with it & it fits in my pocket pretty well. I don't know how much radiation it throws off... I say 7/10 overall. No xposed, if your lucky to rebuild the APK & patch it you can do it.. 4g is awesome! & I'm happy I didn't go with a free phone. Although, i'll be getting one soon to play with.
Thank you, Thanks for reading, & Have a wonderful day! (ALL Useful info & credits to who said it will be added via a reserved spot below.)
LATEST Answers :SU-ME didnt work for me on 5.0, and even though KingRoot said i had root access, It wouldnt give it to anything or allow write access.... Also, I attempted to root 5.1 off the v4.1 apk. It said root strategy available-Gave me (nothing past words)root access-But caused a bunch of apps to continuously crash. (I'll try it again once i go through my dev settings, i also factory wiped it earlier). It said i could remove system apps, It couldnt though. I used the auto-start manager too (we'll see if that stuck). (pics below) Also, Anyone who provides any testing will get thanked & a name below.

Yep it is possible to root.
First download supersu.zip here-
https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU
Now install custom recovery on your device using adb and fastboot. (TWRP is preferred coz many reported cwn not working)
Once twrp is installed boot in recovery.
Then tap install and select the supersu.zip where u downloaded it.
Just flash it and tada!!
Reboot in system and your moto e with lollipop is rooted.
I rooted by same method.
#peace and hope it helped you.
The hardest part is unlocking the bootloader. Without that, it's impossible to root.
I wish I had seen this thread before I picked up this phone today. :/
As I did pick one up as something to play with and not necessarily just for custom roms, I'm not immediately returning it, but it's a strong possibility.

When I try installing twrp via fastboot I receive a preflash error. I have yet been able to boot into recovery., I just get a red triangle and "no command" . What am I doing incorrect?
I don't understand the recovery mode for this phone, I'm used to 4.0.4 lol. I'm not sure either. I thought I broke my system when I tried to adb flash twrp & found out you can't shut your phone off when its in recovery mode. (Also, you can't flash without unlocking the bootloader) DUH right?

You can't flash without an unlocked bootloader. The XT1528 isn't supported by Motorola for unlocking because its a Verizon phone. Verizon doesn't like giving out codes, and wouldn't even if you asked. I think unless someone can Dev the crap outta it, We're screwed XT1528 wise. But, I don't know much about anything lol. I'm still learning.

this is not possible on verizon version xt1528. bootloader is unlockable. will need an android 5 vulnerability to gain root which is the best the verizon version will ever get.
Most likely way to root this phone would be to use an app that has a Lollipop exploit, but they're getting harder according to this article:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...ew-modified-kernels-may-become-a-requirement/
Okay so now I have gone and picked up the AT&T XT 1527 version. I now have a XT 1528 I can test with. Question, should I go ahead and root the XT 1527? I am thinking about wiping everything off Verizon phone and installing Fedora on it, but if there are other suggesting, I now have a test sled that can be used. I am open to suggestions with the verizon phone, let me know what you all think.
XT1528 can be rooted by "Kingroot" method - a closed source app!

Have you used any GSM sim in India with Verizon Moto E?
Are you getting 3G?
And if you are using with CDMA, atleast 3G working with that?
I will be receiving mine tomorrow, dunno if it works or not

I am using it on Reliance CDMA netowrk. When it was on 5.0.2, I could able to connect to 3G.
But After update to 5.1, I could not use 3G. Only call & sms working.
I have rooted xt1528 in android 5.1 to make modification in the system partition. Rooting works perfectly. but changes made to system partition revert backs to stock after reboot.
Could anyone help me to make permanent changes to /system/build.prop file?

Thanks for reporting root worked on your moto e, this is fairly new, Im waiting to see if others can repeat it, and whether it really does work. Have you tried some other apps that require root to see if they actually work with root?
For your specific /system/build.prop issue, some roms write that file from another location, /etc/build.prop or some other similar paths, so maybe need to find that file. Also you have to remount /system as read-write, assuming this worked otherwise there would be an error right away.
Usually I edit /system/build.prop files manually with terminal emulator app, then type these commands:
su (proper root needed)
mount -o rw,remount /system/build.prop
vi /system/build.prop ( may need to install busybox app)
