[Q] Total NOOB questions - Motorola Droid RAZR

I have the xt912 M and used the root instructions and was successful! (YAY Thanks ALL!!!) I am trying to use this phone with another carrier than verizon, What should I do from here? Will rooting phone be enough or do I need a custom ROM before I can do this? I LOVE my phone and do not want to buy a different one if I don't have to. Sorry if these are stupid questions but today is my 1st attempt at cracking my phone open.

So which carrier do you want to flash your Spyder to?

Carrier unlock is not possible for Droid Razr.
Though you can use it on GSM carriers but not in the US.

Moneywise, it's a good deal. Just make sure you're OK with a significantly smaller development community.

XT912 and AT&T

Hey guys! I need some advice. I have someone wanting to trade me their XT912 Razr and I am possibly interested if I can utilize the phone with ATT. Is it possible? Is it worthwhile? Are there any how to guides?
Thanks!

You can not use the phone with AT&T, yes it can detect GSM signals, but verizon doesn't want its competitors to profit off of their phones, therefore T-Mobile and AT&T can not be used with the XT912. I'm pretty sure most other GSM carriers are fine though.
Thanks brother! That's exactly what I needed to know!

[Q} RAZR MAXX Limited Edition?

Has anyone used one? I have the opportunity to buy one, my friend at VZW ran the ESN/IMEI and it came back clean but he doesn't know if you have to be on a VZW employee plan, he thinks that you do.
Can anyone confirm/deny this?

Understood but doesnt the IMEI have to tie back to a VZW employee account?

Honestly have not a clue. I just figure they knew people would sell them since it's "limited edition." So it would be kinda dumb if you had to be an employee.

I would put my money on that in their databases when you activate it that it just shows up like a regular maxx and doesn't look special at all on their end. Just like the R2-D2 DROID 2 I had showed up as a regular DROID 2 on my account.

Droid X2 to prepaid

I have a Droid X2 laying around and was wondering if I was able to switch this phone to a Verizon prepaid or any other pay as you go service?

I'm pretty sure it will run on pageplus. They use Verizon's system so the coverage and service would be the same. As long as the esn is good on it.

Whats needs to be done to the phone before attempting to activate on PagePlus?
basically just filled out the account stuff here: http://www.pagepluscellular.com/Online Store/Activate.aspx
once that was done I had the activate phone thing come up and dial out with verizons horrid music..
But I bought mine used lil over a month ago, from cowboom for 150$. (might not be a great deal, but was with AT&T before, 2g towers locally = max of about 150MB used a month, and miserable lol)

You are using a Droid x2 on Page Plus Cellular? I've been looking to go prepaid but most prepaid networks that allow you to bring in other carrier's phones (the X2 is Verizon's) require that it be a GSM phone so you can use the new carriers SIM card. The X2 is a CDMA phone, and they don't make a GSM version. I'm curious how you got it working, because Verizon is driving me nuts and I'm looking to switch.
---------- Post added at 11:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------
I did a ton of research on trying to bring my X2 to a prepaid network, and on all the networks I checked it couldn't be done. Then again I've never heard of Page Plus so maybe they can. I looked at Simple Mobile, Boost, and Straight Talk and they all require a GSM phone if you want to bring in your own.
page plus resell only verizon services. so cdma only.

I think your phone has to be rooted for this to work
I'm on page plus too. Root isn't needed nor any flashing involved. Just activate on their site or call in. Doesn't even need clear esn.

Can confirm dx2 on page plus no flashing needed but I do think it has to have a clear ESN.

I was told they don't use Verizon blacklists so the esn doesn't matter.could be wrong though!

I'm on page plus too with the DX2. been with them for 4 years. No root or flash needed, just a clean ESN.
I was able to get PagePlus working on it...thanks for all the replies.
I use my x2 on prepaid and I pay $95 a month and I have unlimited data.

Definitely has to have a clean esn in order for any vzw device to be on PagePlus.
I gave my X2 to my roommate so he could set it up with page plus. He's coming from straight talk. They couldn't get the X2 to activate. Do you guys think the problem could be from the X2 or more likely from somewhere else?

Which Razr do you have? I have the Verizon razr maxx and am using it on page plus. There are directions on how to flash it, or you can check on ebay. There are people who will do it remotely for you. If you have a gsm version, you can use it with straight talk, just change the apn settings.
