Hey guys,
I have had this Droid RAZR for a while, It was a Verizon contract phone then after the contract was up I flashed it to Page Plus 3G. Well I went ahead and bought a S3 and no longer need the RAZR. I sold it to my girlfriends brother, he is on Verizon contract. I put the SIM in and it didn't change things like the SID, PRL Version, etc. I went through the phone turning on the 4G, using ##7764726, entered SPL, choose 14, sim type back to commercial, turned bbpanic off, the back to menu, choose 06, next, next, change network mode to LTE, CDMA, EVDO, AND GSM. The 4G data works, however when I attempt to make a phone call I get a message saying "welcome to verizon wireless, your mobile number is either not active or not working".
I hope someone can help me. I surely don't want to make my girlfriends family mad as many of you could surely understand. A happy woman=a happy life. Okay, thanks guys.
Can I use a RTN (Return to Network) ## code to make this happen? I've tried the one for my Galaxy s3 but it doesn't work on the RAZR.
Just use Rsd lite to flash it back to stock thats it.

Or, just use Matt's utility to flash back to stock ROM. See first post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192467

I saw it somewhere that the verizon LTE droid razr actually supports dual network mode, in other words, GSM and CDMA.
I wonder if someone who has the verizon version can verify this. I am sure a lot of people are interested.
Also, I might switch to the verizon version from my galaxy nexus GSM version if it is real...
Thank you and happy new year !
No it is not supporting GSM

I think it has the radios but Verizon had them disabled (gsm that is)
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA App
Yup. It has them disabled.
The XT910 however, has the GSM radios. I believe Rogers has it.
Shame on Verizon. They always do something like cutting functions off.
There are engineering prototype floating around and there are pictures showing the dual mode.
Hope one day this thing got an unlocked radio.
Well technically it is enabled for LTE. LTE uses a version of GSM. Thats why you have a sim card from VZW

Yea, but he means able to work on gsm bands (850/900/1800/2100). These bands are hardwared into the droid razr, but like everyone else stated its locked by Verizon. And there is no way around to unlocking it to work. It's a shame, but perhaps in a few months we'll see a "world" phone version of the droid razr. But knowing Verizon, they'd charge extra for a phone with the same hardware, just a new name. Haha.
According to this the Razr has GSM 850/1900 support in its sim card slot. That means if you can unlock (via Verizon key or possibly a custom rom) you should be able to use a third party sim card.

You know, you could just grab the Rogers or Int'l versions, they work on at&t just fine
Any idea why my phone keeps jumping between 60% and 70% on the charger? Was using my N1 charger at first, and it stayed at 60%, finally jumped straight to 70% with the included Motorola charger.
There is definately GSM capability or at least someone wrote settings code for it. These are 2 screen shots from my CDMA Vzn phone.
The settings are greyed out however.

it's one of the reasons that moto has to keep the bootloader locked up. VZW would FREAK so loud their master in Hell could hear them if people started to flash their phones to work on att, or worse...
Both the Droid 2 Global and Droid 3 were locked down not to be used on the GSM networks here in the states and a couple of guys on xda got it working for us. On another note the HTC Rezound is also working on gsm thanks to some
Verizon has already said that the global GSM roaming capabilities will be enables at some point in the future for the Droid 4. They said having them currently blocked at this point was due to "network limitations." Since the internals of the Droid 4 are pretty much identical to the RAZR/RAZR MAXX, it's possible Verizon will enable the feature on those phones as well...or maybe that a developer can enable them once the Droid 4 gets it.
I use an app called phone info to get into the info menus quickly, select Phone Information. I have a GSM Razr and I can switch my radio to CDMA from GSM or Auto (CDMA/GSM) using a dropdown menu. Can you definitely not do this with the US Droid Razr?
Hopefully some developer is working on a workaround for the verizon ICS build to work on GSM ,cant they just add the radio from the CM9 aokp builds ?

I checked out the app. It does give you the choice to switch to GSM but Idk if it'll work and Idk how to tell if it works.

I see so it might be possible if you are sim unlocked and have a different sim card.

Hi. Is there any way to use a RazrMaxx, without a SimCard inside?
as far as i know it is not possible. You can use it as an ipod touch but service wise everything goes trough the sim. One more option is to flash it to cricket and use it with out a sim card.
You can flash in qpst nv only write your prl and use without sim
You also have to put in your mdn and min
Here is a link Worked on my maxx I have full 3G every thing working

... so, apparently my previous post didn't appear. i said i can't use it as an 'ipod touch' or do anything with it, because after i power up the 'toy', the 'touch android to continue' appears, i touch the android, and it says it can't do anything without a sim card.
*it is a verizon razr maxx, and i don't have a sim or anything else from verizon
I got one from local verizon store went in and asked for one
you can also get them on ebay you need micro sim
after you program it to nv only you no longer need sim
On most phones you can touch all four corners of the activation screen to bypass it. Start in the upper left and go clockwise.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
I'm not sure which one is the activation screen which i have to bypass if you could explain me better.
Edit: thanks MillionManMosh, it works !!!
My Razr Maxx came in today. Unfortunately, it didn't come with a sim card, so I couldn't activate it. It's running ICS, and I tried the four corner trick, but it didn't work. I randomly tried sticking my T-Mobile micro sim in it, and that did the trick!

How do you manual activate your phone? It gives me error messages like Failed to call NAM information on ##PROGRAM
And it shows "write failed"when I try to manually activate my phone with QPST

C. Click connect to connect phone
D. Go to main tab click spc send 000000 to unlock phone, go to other tab to load pageplus prl to phone, select write and find your prl file and it should write it to the phone.
5. Insert sim card.
6. Restart phone. Phone should OTA program. 7. dial *#*#4636#*#* go to phone information go to cdma auto prl and change it to cdma only
Back out of that
8. dial ##program go to test mode next over to evrc hdr hybrid mode change network type to cdma and back out phone will restart
(check menu/settings/phone status make sure mobile network type says CDMA 1xrtt and you have 1x data)
9. dial *#*#4636#*#* go to phone information go to cdma and change it to cdma auto prl
Back out of that
10. Power down and remove sim card and power up.
11. dial ##program go to test mode next over to evrc hdr hybrid mode change network type to cdma and evdo phone will restart
(check menu/settings/phone status make sure mobile network type says CDMA EvDo rev A. if it says eHRPD redo steps 10-14.)
12. dial *#*#4636#*#* go to phone information go to cdma auto prl and change it to unknown
Back out of that
(check menu/settings/phone status make sure mobile network type says CDMA EvDo rev A. if it says eHRPD redo steps 10-15.)
13. Power down phone, replace sim card power up you should have 3g and talk and text

I checked it out for you and the website only asks for a cdma phone. My suggestion is go to the nearest pageplus store and ask them directly. It wouldnt hurt to try
have no idea where a page plus store is.... will try to find one...
and them if data and so on didn't work how do I make it work?

so a couple of things online about Houdini unlock and a couple other places say my electrify can be put on page plus by changing prl, and in and changing mdn and min..... having both internet and mms work.... however it says doing same with photon has 4g too. 4g in photon is wimax so.... I know it wouldn't work. should I chance it?

If its a wimax phone then u flash it just like any other sprint/uscellular etc phone to page plus. And since it's a wi max 4g you couldn't put it on Straight Talk's gsm side even if u wanted to cause it won't have a sim card slot.

alright, well how about electrify? 3g device, does have a sIM card slot but I doing need anything gsm anyway. no gsm network works around here

you need an msl code found through asite that unlocks phones, try this site http://reseller.blowfishunlocks.com/index.php
its very difficult to get a full flash, my friend got one to work with 1x only. make sure youre using the proper software to flash also
---------- Post added at 08:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------
i think it might be easier flashing a gsm radio on it
I don't think you need to deal with the gsm though, I believe the gsm services are locked in the states, even if you unlock it, it's simply not going to accept ATT or tmob
3g will work on the evdo rev A, wimax i'm not sure but 3g isn't that slow
Just wondering if you've already flashed or not I also want to get one for pp, but saw no instructions online. I only need voice, SMS and 3G going that's all

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.
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
