[q] xt912 gsm roms - Motorola Droid RAZR

I recently purchased a XT912 for use in stlucia Digicel GSM network, i understand that gsm functionality will work on the ics OTA, however i would like to know which custom roms have gsm functionality for the RAZR XT912 ...

Are you sure you've got a xt912 and not 910?

xt912 certain..the phone has GSM band capability and works on gsm carriers outside the USA with ICS update

Um Most probably there are no chance to use xt910 aka droid razr on other networks because it locked and works only in USA on Verizon network .
Look out into the development for cdma roms , try that if it dosnt work then flash patch to convert cdma roms into gsm
I hope that would work
Edit : i believe the panel has been chanced or model name might have chanced from build.prop
Thx
Hit the thx button if i helped ya in anyways

Thx for asking it in question answer and help .:thumbup::thumbup:

there are confirmed users of the XT912 not XT910 again the XT912 outside the USA on gsm networks... a simple look into this thread will reveal a number of testimonials
to all you nonbelievers out here, and to back up the person that said you can use gsm oh and u have to have the latest update cause gsm is unlocked !!!!
here is the steps
1/ Go to menu>>system settings>>more>>Mobile networks
a/ make sure Data Enabled is checked
b/ change global data roaming access>> to Connect to data services while roaming
c/change network mode from Global to GMS/UMTS (this will now allow you to enter the "Access Point Names" menu")
Now you should go on the internet (not via your phone-use another device or do it before hand in WIFI) and look up the APN settings (Access Point Names settings) for the country and carrier that you are using
d/ go to menu>>system settings>>more>>Mobile Networks>>Access Point Names
hit menu>>create new APN
enter the setting that you found on the internet then back out
switch to airplane mode to turn off your telephone service.
Wait a minute
taken from gsmarena xt912 user openions thread

will look into the gsm patch tho

Yes its truth, i am using an xt912 from verizon on brazilian GSM network. Since i know verizon have the international unlock for they phones but you cant use any GSM on USA territory.

I'm another guy from Argentina in the same situation. I'm facing the problem that the GSM signal is weak. Did somebody find a walkthrough to this?. Thanks.

happy to say that im using my xt912 on Digicel GSM in stlucia..works flawlessly no signal issues stock jellybean ota 4.1.2
question are you using GSM/UMTS or GLOBAL option.. try switching to GSM/UMTS see if this helps with your signal issue..

works with Bell and Rogers Canada

I have the Verizon Razr Maxx XT912. I bought it from a girl sealed in box who thought it cannot work in Canada. I removed the verizon SIM, upgraded to ICS then tested it and it works. I then upgraded to JB and it also works. However, I get a weak signal, only 1 bar most of the time, but it never drops calls. I even flashed Spyder and it shows no signal at all but still can make calls and receive calls!!
So yes, it works very well in Canada. I only wish I can fix the signal bar issue on spyder Liquid Smooth and CM10.1. I tried umts_spyder, I get a full signal bars, but when I open the dial pad and click on a number it freezes for about 6 seconds before it allows me to continue. The dial pad is not stable.

Hi guys... I'm from Argentina and I have a XT912 on a GSM carrier (Movistar).
I live in the Córdoba province and everything works perfectly (calls, 3G, wifi, etc.) on the stock rom.
I recently installed CM10.1 for spyder and user a GSM fix to make it work, with the fix I can get 3G and a good level of signal (similar to stock rom). The fix is giving me some troubles cause I can make calls but I can't receive since I receive a "the process com.android.phone has stopped" message. I'm looking on how to try to resolve this.
Anyway I can confirm for certain you can use a XT912 outside US on a GSM carrier.
See you around...

[Q] do bad esn phones get OTA ?

I purchased my droid razr XT912 which may have a bad esn from ebay and got my number programmed with reliance cdma and am using it simless (non omh), calls/evdo/sms and all work well.
i hv put a blank sim card which does help show verizon wireless as service provider on lock screen as without sim it always showed no sim inside.
my question is if I will get OTA uodate to ICS or do i need to follow the other methods posted here.

Whether a phone is activated with service or not, theoretically you should get OTA updates. I've had phones in the past that did not have a sim card, as soon as I connected wifi, it would prompt to update.
I flash bad ESN phones to Cricket and they still get OTAs.
Tappin the talk
thank you for the positive feedback, no signs of OTA yet but i'll wait

[Q] Cant Use GSM on Droid Razr Maxx xt912

Hi all,
First of all sorry for my bad english,
Last month my nephew gave me Motorola Droid Maxx xt912 Verizon, this device is brand new one.
I injected CDMA from local provider and it works flawlesly, but the problem come when I want to use the GSM (for your information I live in Indonesia).
When I want to use the GSM with inserting local provider micro simcard I can make phone call and SMS but I cant use the data, I'm sure I already set the APN correctly. I tried with 3 other local providers and still cant connect the data. Right now the phone running stock ICS Rom 4.0.4.
Really appreciate It if someone can give me a clue to solve this problem.
Thanks and regards
Hopefully APN settings

Hi,
I am having the same Droid Razr Maxx XT912 on GSM.
I added APN manually and Data Works fine. Check your APN again.
In APN Type You must add "default, supl".
Remove the quotes..
What carrier are you using? Which country?
Do you by chance know the apn for Cricket 4g?

Hi henhida
I got same situation with you
My Droid DNA can't get 3G in GSM
Please share if you can solve this problem
Sounds like your carrier doesn't use a normal band for 3g. It may simply not be compatible.
If that is the case then you will never get it to work.

Rom support for xt912 running on gsm networks

I'm on vacation and am trying to get my xt912 to work properly (on a brazilian gsm network), but am having trouble getting consistent data and voice. i'm using the latest stable cm 10.1 rom for the xt912, if i plan to utilize the gsm networks, should i be running the rom intended for the xt910? If not, how do i roll the sim toolkit into the rom for the xt912? there's an icon for it in the cm app tray, but loading it makes it disappear as if its not in the code.
I am having the same problem, only that I live outside the US and I need my phone to run constantly on GSM, so I need to know a GSM friendly ROM. If someone can show us one, then that would be great.
Only if you searched a little before posting.

[Q] [How] VZN S4 not working on Vodafone GSM network. Need a Nerwork/Sim Unlock

I recently bought the cell phone in US and am visiting India for a couple of months. When I tried using the GSM sims of both vodafone and airtel in in India I wasnt able to make any calls or rceiev any sms, despite of this being a WORLD PHONE.
I even rooted my device and by installing the APN MAnager I was able to install the Vodafone settings and to my surprise
Was able to get its 3g/Data services working.
However the Voice or the sms is still nit working.
The signalbar is showing just fine and so's the data connection symbol. However with the gsm sim in I keep gettin this NON VERIZON SIM ERROR icon on the top left.
Under the settings>MOBILE NETWORKS ive tried changIng them to both GLOBAL and GSM but still no luck yet.
Can anyone help me out with a network/sim unlock method, similar ti the ones avaialable on the tmibile and other phones.
Pretty sure the voice still uses CDMA. I believe that Verizon still only uses the LTE/GSM for data.

If thats true, then it wouldn't truly be a global phone now would it? GSM will work for voice, but you still need verizon's permission. It should work with a verizon sim, but you will pay through the nose. Now I thought the SIM was unlocked but I could be wrong. Also, even if it is unlocked, it still needs to be compatible with the network frequencies. I don't know what frequencies the VZW S4 has but you can google it.
This being a Dual Band mobile These are the bands that it supports..
CDMA 850
CDMA 1900
GSM 850
GSM 900
GSM 1800
GSM 1900
LTE 750
LTE 1700
WCDMA 850
WCDMA 1900
WCDMA 2100
Also on googling I came across some posts which said the people have managed to use there gsm sims in europe n korea and were able to get the voice n sms. For data they too had to play with th APN..
So what I am tryin to make out from this is we don have a solution to get the voice n sms working on gsm network
Pic showing the error message that I get when I try to make a call.
The second oic shows how my Network signals and data signals are showing just fine but still am not able to make any calls or sms.

I used my phone and put in a Straight Talk (AT&T) SIM and it works with data and voice after manually putting in the APN. If Verizon phone works on AT&T network, it should work with any network out there provided that the bands are supported by the phone.
I was under the same impression, as it worked for me too when I used the tmobile(gsm) sim with it. I was able to make calls only and data was restricted.
Where as with Vodafone IND its the other way round. Am not able to make/recieve calls or sms but data 3g is working just fine.
Confused what could the problem possibly be.

If rooted, you can use Titanium backup, and freeze 'Setup wizard'.
What good would it do if I freeze the setup..how do you suggest I proceed further after freezing..?

I recall needing to call verizon and get an unlock code for my old droid 2 global so that I could use non-verizon global sim cards in it. I believe you just needed to be a customer in good standing for at least 10 months, and could only do it once a year per line, or something.
Edit: A quick search showed a post claming it is already SIM unlocked, so never mind!
Since only my Data is working on my VZW GS4, that too after rooting and installing titanium and apn Manager.
Just wanted to confirm if I am thinking in the right direction, Is it possible that I may flash the Stock Rom for I9500(international Version) in my vzw GS4, and it would work with any international carrier around the world, cos currently am only able to use the Data/3g and Neither Voice nor SMS is working out here for me for GSM carriers like Vodafone and Airtel.
Id really appreciate if anyone can help me lookup a workaround for this..
I just made to run my port of Android Revolution HD 2.0 for i545 (I was porting it from i9505). Everything is working, except CDMA-networking. It's multilingual as well. If anybody wants - I could give it to test. I asked mike1996 for permission to port it, so it is permitted
