Doing that will brick the phone.

Yep, it will.
The EU rom is for the EU phone. The Verizon phone is different in several ways, and it is not compatible. Besides that, the Verizon RAZR isn't even GSM compatible at this point. It's CDMA/LTE only right now, so you couldn't get it working natively on any network in Europe anyway.

what are you talking about,in the link above they say its gsm
are you guys sure you are giving me correct information about what i am asking?
if i should brick my phone with this process can i recover and go back with the original firmware unbrcking it?
That link is wrong. If you buy an XT912 Droid RAZR, you will have a very expensive paperweight. You need an XT910. There is no GSM support on the XT912. It has the hardware for both CDMA & GSM, but the GSM portion is disabled just like on the Droid Bionic. And no, due to Motorola kernel signatures and partition sizes, the stock ROMs are not cross-compatible.
Feel free not to believe us, it's your money.

what about motorola pro the verizon one and photon are they also without gsm?
You will not brick it simple you cant flash it with rds due signature mistmatch unless you have a unlocket bootloader.
droid pro was hacked by TBH i think. gsm radio was hacked and then it was working with tmobile/att.

Photon works just fine, it was designed to be a dual mode CDMA/GSM device from the start. No 900mhz UMTS with the Photon, though (And USSD codes don't work).

you are talking about xt912?so it actually have a sim slot,if yes,unlolcked bootloader is a different thing than entering a code for unlocking the phone i suppose . . .

The SIM slot in the XT912 is for LTE, not GSM.. And 100% no to the "Will the X8 bootloader unlock work" question. Sony Ericsson are a completely different kettle of fish to Motorola. We've just spent months waiting while Kholk and the Eternity Project devs worked on a bypass, the bootloaders currently cannot be unlocked and likely never will be unless Motorola feel charitable.
I hate to say it, but you seriously need to do a lot more research before you waste your money on a CDMA phone that is no use to anyone outside the USA.

ok then i wont buy the xt910 because its too expensive,neither the xt912 because it wont work
i am going to consider the htc vivid ,lg nitro or atrix 2

good news guys. Verizon is gonna unlock the gSM bands on droid razr. xt912.

OK so im new to all this posting stuff. But I have been searching for weeks to get some information. I have a verizon motorola razr that is just sitting around not being used. Is it possible to buy a sim from straight talk and use it on the razr? I know that its a cdma phone but I also read that u can switch it to gsm or whatever. Is this possible and if so how? are their steps that can help me? thanks for any help.
Ok so i bought this razr off of craigslist and its a solid device so i dont want to give up on it it seems that it has been flashed to an unknown carrier all i know is the phone number that shows up in settings is area code 323 and wont go away i tried to activate it at a verizon and they got it all set up on their end but the device itself wasn't cooperating the rep at verizon tried to make a test call but it kept going to an automated message saying my account is out of funds and can not complete this call wtf? And we checked to see if the phone number changed it aaaand it didnt After three techs over the phone we couldn't get the damned thing to work The device wouldn't connect to verizons phone/text network but we did manage to get get lte i went to settings to see if i can update to 4.0 because its still running 2.3.6 but the button was greyed out... so im assuming its sum sort of rom made for a different carrier but im probably wrong
Any help i would immensely appreciated i use this device on wifi and even on gb i like it its so sweet i really wanna set this bad boy up

You need qpst cdma workshop. Google razr on cricket or metro pcs and follow those steps but install prl from vzw. Also check to see if phone is in cdma only mode.

Im in the same boat trying to help a friend. I have qpst and CDMA WS already. Could someone help me install a verizon prl back onto this Razr. Thanks guys.
I'm new to this phone thing, since "96" I've been building,& repairing, computers. I guess you could say I'm an advanced novice with a lot of intrest in phone software and programming. Anyway I have a Verision HTC Thunderbolt I'm attempting to convert over to straight talk, I've purchased a sim from straight talk and have it installed in the thunderbolt & throught straight talk I have my number transferred to the sim. I've tried various software to unlock & s-off but when it come down to it, it doesnt communicate with the phone. I have had some success with CMDA Workshop "demo verson" in getting my phone # in the phone. but knowing what info I need to imput and where I can find info has been my problem so far, Or is CMDA Workshop the tool I need to be using to achieve transfer to another carrier and reconizing the new sim? I know I can take it somewhere and have it done, but thats not learning anything for me. Is there any of you willing to help me with some guidence?
Thanks

Hello, I am new to xda this is my first post so I hope I put it in the right place.
I bought an s4 from a private seller assuming that because it wa a verizon and that means cdma where I live , that I would be able to activate it as a cdma straight talk phone with the activation kit from straight talk ,
I tried but it when I get to the part of the ctivation were it askes for my sim card to be put in the phone ........I get lost because I thought cdma Verizon required no sim,
so I think this means that they want to activate my phone as a gsm phone ...... this wont get any service in my area I need cdma.
so I went and had my phone flashed ....with a donor phone and it works but I hate it the pic messaging is all screwed up ....I just want a stock feel and not to have to you third party apps to txt
BIG question.. is it possible to reflash my phone back to stock and activate it the right way? if not are there any s4's that straight talk will accept under the cdma ?
I know this is a mess but any input would be great thanks in advance

Don't know about flashing CDMA, but have you checked your APN settings?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2672843
That's about using GSM, but using those APN settings may fix your pic messaging issue.
so....

Well since all of that is for the gsm version I dont think it would help honestlly I'm about to toss this s4 in the trash ...
The Verizon s4 can be used for straight talk gsm. It is unlocked out of the box. Just put in a straight talk sim t mobile or att compatible and set your apn and everything should work perfectly.

First, what model phone do you actually have? The Verizon Galaxy S4 (SCH-i545) is in fact a CDMA/GSM/LTE phone, which does have a SIM.
It sounds like you should re-flash the factory ROM. Perhaps the easiest way to do that is to plug it in and use the Verizon Recovery Assistant. Or, use Samsung Kies to re-flash it - those will WIPE your phone, however.
no gsm has to be cdma
ok thankyou to all... here is the problem I got a cdma phone because were I live cdma is all that works no t-mobile - no att and sprint is also bad
only cdma versions of tracfone , straight talk, and verizon work well here.
my phone is the verizon cdma phone
but i'm only interested in activating it under cdma not gsm
Straight talk has a s3 that runs on the cdma here some friends have it
I also am interested in doing this, I have talked to Walmart and straight talk as well and they both say the same if its true or not I'm not sure but they said that all you need is the sim kit and set the right apn , and yes we do have a sim in this phone so I would guess you will need it.

OK, so if you're using a Verizon Galaxy S4, which supports the following bands: (see here)
LTE: Bands 4/13;
CDMA 1x/EVDO Rev.A: 800/1900MHz;
HSPA+/UMTS: 850/900/1900/2100MHz;
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900MHz
All you should have to do is to read out the ESN and activate it if your carrier is on 800/1900 MHz CDMA.
