I have a buddy with a XT912 that he can't dump due to a bad ESN.
He is willing to give it to me, I have heard rumors that you can re-flash the XT912 with the 910 software to unlock the GSM part of the phone...
Will that allow it to work with AT&T?
The specs I have seen show the 912 has the radio built in, just locked.
Can you re-flash it for AT&T?
i would like to know as well. my gf has a droid razr.
At the moment is not posible
There is another post which can help and i also got the same problem

Lots of info but don't think anyone has it fully working on AT&T yet, I know I'm stuck with it seeing the sim but never connecting to network.

hello was wondering is the Motorola Droid Razr and UK version Motorola Razr The same phone ?
Yes but different radios, DROID is cdma, UK is gsm
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Hardwarewise, they're exactly the same.
and doesn't the GSM version have an unlocked bootloader?
XT910 is the code for RAZR GSM international
And XT912 is the code for RAZR GSM/CDMA

Even though I feel the Razr is a superior phone I dont think there will ever be a dev scene even like for the Bionic. If there isnt one yet there most likely wont be unfortunately. The Razr was over shadowed by the release of the GN and with a locked bootloader why invest your time into it? The dev's have pretty much gone from the bionic too. The only reason it was getting some love was because of timing and the GN wasn't out yet.
I think the GSM version might get a little bit due to its bootloader being unlocked but even now there doesn't seem much. Shoot compare it to the GN a week after release and it has a dozen or so ROMs already.
Droid is a name registered with Verizon ... notice that all phones named Droid are only on Verizon and no other network ...
As for Dev scene... give it time .... amazon thanksgiving sale helped the Droid RAZR base to grow huge ... and within month time came nexus with icecream sandwich which devs were eager to get hands on.... I think RAZR will get support at least after it receives ics

Motorola is saying they're selling bananas, but when you buy their bananas, you'll find that they're pears.
No, it isn't unlocked and it isn't unlockable. Still not.

So the Razr I have in the US will not work overseas? That is my understanding but seeing GSM with the XT912 confuses me. Thanks.

Correct. US Phones use CDMA radios and other countries use the GSM. I don't think there is a "world" LTE phone yet.
I know I just saw a posting earlier this week about how Europe finally got the HSPA+21 and will get the 42 later. It talked about how they were testing LTE in the UK but were talking about a period of 3-5 years before it even starts to roll out. Maybe when the UK gets LTE they will be compatible.
The US has the best radios even tho we don't always get the best phones.

912 is for CDMA/Verizon/Locked bootloader
910 is for GSM/Other countries/Unlocked bootloader
But if past releases pattern is true Droid 4 will be a world phone just like droid 3 and 2
Can a gsm /system/app dump be used on the cmda razor to restore the stock /system/app or do you have to have a /system/app dump from a cdma razr?
USA is neither the first nor only country with LTE.
In Fact, the world's first commercial LTE network started in Sweden in December 2009 and now they're already testing the next generation, LTE advanced with speeds up to 954mbit/sec.:
http://www.intomobile.com/2011/06/2...dvanced-sweden-hits-954-mbps-download-speeds/
Also in Germany LTE is already available in most major cities and I guess it's also available in some other European countries.

***UPDATE 6/26/2012***
Ok, not all the info that I got before was 100% correct. It looks like RAZR / MAXX is unlocked only for Global(GSM) use which is outside of USA. The Tmobile and ATT sims are not fully working as of right now.
We have couple amazing Devs which are working to resolve this issue.
Please PM me if you want me to update the OP.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the Bionic forum people found a way to activate disabled feature of couple 4g verizon phones to be able to use it on GSM networks.
Can someone test it please?

Amazing...no one here has any interest in this? maybe you should have posted in the development section. This is great news if it gets working on the razr.
I posted this earlier...as far as I know it's still a work in progress but very cool nonetheless.

Actually the Bionic does have a GSM radio.
The Razr, 4, Bionic all have the same Qualcomm global radio and a separate LTE radio.
The only thing preventing the Razr, Droid 4 or Bionic from connecting to GSM is the firmware.
The Droid 4 is scheduled for GSM upgrade.

I was under the impression that we just needed the unlock code. Once we have it from say...att, then we put the sim in,enter the code and good to go...maybe its not that easy but on YouTube it looks pretty close lol.
As far as I know it's not that easy due to the fact that the GSM modem itself is disabled. Unless your talking about roaming onto the LTE network. Though ATT uses different frequencies.

Thank you I will follow it later on.
this could get interesting
Okay so, here's my predicament..I'm currently using an Atrix 2 with a regular sized SIM card and wanted to test this out on a busted VZW Razr I got from work (there's a huge crack in the screen and it was just collecting dust). If I went into an AT&T store and bought a micro-SIM, would it work?
The only reason I'm confused is because all I know that AT&T uses the micro-SIMs for is the iPad; I don't know if the structure of the SIM card changes to accomodate just data, or if voice will be able to be transmitted as well.
Just wondering but can it be done? afaik the two are identically hardware wise right? I got my mitts on a CDMA razr but gsm signal on it sucks big time and i've been trying to find ways of improving it.
would the bypassed bootloader be able to stop me from doing so? Would I get a hard brick?
The ICS release will make the Razr "global" (GSM+CDMA+LTE).
I'm on the .79 leak, with AOKP and mine is a global phone.
June 12th, last rumor I heard...
So you're telling me that my gsm Motorola RAZR XT910 will get lte possibility? What bands will this lte be running?
Motorola RAZR with Tapatalk
So does this mean that once ICS drops, I can get my razr on a sim only plan with another carrier? I was looking for a way to unlock it for that purpose... I'm done with Verizon's fees and taxes, but don't wanna pay retail for a new phone...

I'm pretty sure the GSM razr doesn't have lte. If it did, it would only work for Verizon (my reasoning being that if the DROID RAZR has GSM, and the normal RAZR has lte, chances are they are built the same way with software tweaks) Of course.), none of this matters if the GSM RAZR doesn't have lte, which of probably doesn't.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA
yeah I mean the XT912 or the Verizon edition razr.
I am running a ICS leak but the signal is really bad and on top of that I cannot add a vodafone APN, as such I do not get any roaming internet aside from Wifi I can find. I would try flashing the modem on my own phone but I have heard of stories of CDMA phones bricking when flashed with a GSM rom.
May I know the source that stated both RAZR GSM & RAZR CDMA are identical hardware-wise?

I never said they are identical. I said that if the global version had lte, chances were that they had the same hardware. However, this is not the case.

The patch. The patch people...get it and get done with it...it CAN happen...I am having one ...Awesome Stock ICS on RaZr...CDMA + patch = AWESOMENESS
AFAIK, there is the Droid Razr, and the Droid Razr Maxx. There is no hardware difference between a GSM or CDMA phone. If you have a Moto schematic diagram showing some other difference, then post it.
The only hardware difference the two devices above, is the Maxx has a bigger battery.
Everything else is software, and that changes with ICS.

Wait for the ICS release and see if it works, or install the .79 leak and see if it works.
