I downloaded the current motorola usb drivers from motos website (version 2.5.4).
But when I switch to BP tools on this verizon moto e my pc still asks for "XT1528" software.
Does anyone know where I can get these so I can enable diag?
Thank you!

I have been searching this too, trying to get the GSM bands on my Verizon XT1528. This is first Verizon device and new to the CDMA/GSM and diag unlocking.
I bet you have already looked at:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm2NKdXdHnc
not specifically for the Moto E but some of the tricks may be applicable. If you find how to get this to work, let us know.
I have a new moto e lying on my table for the last two weeks, I am willing to mess with it if somebody will guide me with the diag unlocking GSM radios in CDMA phone.
I'm running the XT1528 on T-Mobile, I just followed the guide by whoareyou.

brotherswing, thanks for the suggestion. I think this is the guide you are referring to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...sm-network-t3098953/post60533752#post60533752
But I'm hoping to still get this to work on Sprint. Yes, I know I could buy the sprint version.
Does anyone else know about the xt1528 software to get diag mode working through the bp tools bootloader menu setting?

Thanks man! I have unlock code but I don't know how to find the enter box
Curious.. What benefits are there exactly to "unlocking" your phone? Using it on a different carrier? Can you do that with Verizon's Razr/Maxx?
Are there any idea ?
Put your new sim in (Non Verizon) and it should prompt for an unlock code
-If I change the rom, will it still be locked?
-if I change the kernel, still be locked?
-if I change the modem, still locked?
Thanks ;')
The Verizon Razr has no SIM lock and is therefore unlocked by default.
The new ICS leaks enable global use by default with foreign SIMs, no unlock code required.
Same for D4.
Well dunno about xt910, but my old SE X10 mini was unlocked...and I flashed CM7 on it and it was locked again... (maybe it wa a software unlock?)

So what you mean by Verizon Razr is XT912(CDMA) right or XT910(GSM)? If its unlocked by default, then why is it under Verizon anyway?
What I get here is:
-Cant use CDMA for international
-Flash to ICS is possible, and will unlock for international use
correct me if I'm wrong
Thank You

I'm also very interested in knowing how XT912 can be used with gsm networks.

I live in Europe (only GSM carriers available in my country) and a friend of mine came with an XT912 from Verizon, bought in the US.
Since I can buy it at a bargain price, I am very interested in knowing if it can be unlocked via ICS update.
At the moment when a foreign SIMCARD is inserted the SIM CARD NOT VALID message appears.
Waiting for your reply.
TY,
Tiberiu
The message should say " This SIM card is from an unknown source!" and should be able to be dismissed and everything will work anyway.
There is no true SIM lock that requires a code based on the IMEI like a typical carrier locked GSM phone or previous VZW global capable phones have.
The ICS builds, once officially released, have global services enabled using the same string in the RF_BC_CONFIG_I NV Item that we have been using to enable GSM.
If you have a RAZR on 2.3.6 then you need to apply the NV edit to make it work.
If you flash to the latest leaked ICS build, it should all just work by default.
This only works for non US carriers for international GSM use.
There is still a separate lock on US GSM carriers that we need to find and disable if possible.
Hope this answers your questions.
Thanks man, indeed it says "This SIM card is from an unknown source!"
Hope I will get the phone soon and manage to unlock it successfully
Verizon announced an OTA yesterday that will enable GSM for Razr, Maxx and D4.
It will be unlocked.
Wait a few weeks.
Back with news: got the phone, did a factory data reset (just to check the rumors that some XT912 aren't able to factory reset successfully) and activated the phone via the 4 fingers trick at android screen.
@cellzealot - phone runs on Android 2.3.6, baseband version CDMA_N_04.07.012R LTEDC_U_07.1F.00.
Because I come from the iPhone scene and I'm afraid to screw something by updating to ICS I would like to try first enabling GSM function using RF_BC_CONFIG_I NV Item.
Tried doing a search but didn't find anything helpful so I kindly ask you to give me some hints in applying the patch.
Thanks in advance and kind regards!

Look at the bottom of that page for the last 2 posts by jimmydafish.
That explains how to use RadioComm to do the NV edit.
That is the fastest and easiest way to do it if you are willing to use proprietary service ware and have a PC with drivers installed etc.
If you want to use the zip files I made then you need to root the phone and install the Razr Bootstrap recovery and then run the zip file from there.
Thanks a lot, after a couple of failed attempts it worked like a charm!
So, if anyone tries on Win7 64bit - after installing RadioComm 11.12.2 you should install Motocast as well, otherwise drivers won't work.
I have one final question, since I read on other forums that users had no luck enabling GSM with ICS update : NV edit trick works also on ICS or just on GB?
Once again, many thanks!
Hi there, I believe i have a GSM/UMTS razr since I live in europe and it works on GSM codec.. but RSD lite says it is a CDMA razr. I bought it from someone via internet and it came in french packaging. How is this possible? CDMA is not in use here and would not work with the GSM network?
Don't worry about that, it says CDMA for my Asia GSM Razr too.
I have been flashing with no issues at all.

It's not a RSD lite problem, but a missconfiguration of motorola drives. Unistall all moto software then reinstall motocast. After reconecting your razr it will be as umts_spyder again. Especially in ap fastboot menu
Had sane issue and no clue cane googlin' it

Uninstalling all motorola software will actually remove drivers too. When you reintall motocast 1.29 all the drivers will be back and fixed.

The Verizon XT1528 and the AT&T/GoPhone/Cricket XT1527 have locked bootloaders that do not qualify for the Moto Bootloader Unlock program. Therefore, there is no way to install custom recovery (TWRP) to install root.
The other models (the Moto-direct XT1527, the Sprint/USC XT1526, international models) do qualify. Unlock BL, flash TWRP, flash root, done.

No hope for root on this specific variant. I've tried every exploit out there, no deals. When I select my next handset I'm going to check if it can be rooted first. Also, I will never purchase hardware from Verizon again.

Unlock the bootloader via Moto's Bootloader Unlock website, flash TWRP, flash root.
I've been able to successfully flash CM13 but during setup it says it can't find SIM card. My phone came with 5.1 so it has the proper modem firmware files. It's a Sprint XT1526. I had to revert to a backup of 5.1 to use the phone features.

Sprint sim? Did you try toggling radio modes with network app? Just throwing out ideas - haven't run into this with my Sprint branded device using the included sim on ringplus. But that device is on an older resurrection remix build.

It appears to detect my sprint SIM however I am in Canada and use a different SIM.
EDIT: Changing the preferred network to LTE/GSM/CDMA doesn't stick.

Are you sim unlocked? It's my understanding (maybe incorrect) that the Sprint version can be used on gsm outside the US, but you'll need to unlock it with the msc code. I got my msc from Sprint via a help chat online, but you can also get it by signing up for ringplus - they give it to you as part of the sign up process.
I've never had a non us sim to test - did you get a prompt to enter the code when you put in the Canadian sim? I don't know how to force the msc prompt.

It's not locked and works fine on stock android. Never needed to enter a code. I also unlocked the bootloader and rooted it.

Oh, gotcha - a SIM that works fine on Stock ROM doesn't work on CM13. I hope someone else can point you in the right direction - I don't know, as I pretty quickly gave up on my Sprint model (left it to languish as an emergency CDMA phone on ringplus free plan) and picked up the USCellular version to use routinely, as the $40 it cost was way cheaper than my time and frustration with trying to get the Sprint model working on ATT.

Hi I'm no one to comment since I don't have the Sprint Variant though I have the unlocked GSM Variant. I have experienced this. Just wait for a while after the first setup. That's what I do and eventually it detects my SIM

You mean wait at the SIM not detected on the setup wizard or after setup? I've had the phone on long enough after setup that if it was going to detect it, it should have already.

Hello all,
Just purchased LG K7 (Walmart Family Mobile variant, model# K330) and tried to unlock for use on T-Mobile now that all WFM phones are SIM locked. Received a code from cellunlockerpro but the instructions to unlock (2945#*model number#”) don't work to open the dialog box needed to enter the code. Phone has a pre-installed unlock app which checks the eligibility prior to unlocking. Is there anyway to bypass the app and go through the dialer or service menu to unlock somehow? Thanks for any information/advice.
I bought the same phone yesterday for the same purpose. You need to search the forums, and download lgup, lgup_k330 T-Mobile, and WEB_K33010h_00 T-MOBILE.kdz. Follow instructions on the install, and flash that file. It will boot back up connected to T-Mobile. No unlock code needed.
Let me add as I am sure you know I had rooted, and unlocked the bootloader.

Okay, so if I flash this .kdz to the MetroPCS (ms330) variant using LGUp then I will be network unlocked or have switched networks to TMobile from MetroPCS; bypassing the factory installed device unlock application which was originally on the MetroPCS K7? Forgive me Im trying to verify before I attempt this.

Its possible, but more likely that you would just brick your phone if you tried flashing a firmware that wasnt for your exact model phone. Mostly because they use the partitions for different things. Never a good idea to flash firmware onto your phone thats not actually for your phone.

U do know after having this phone on metro for 30 to 60 days all you have to do is call them and they will unlock it for free. Every phone i have get from metro I unlock and still have piled up just in case I or someone needs one loll. I have everything from galaxy avant to core prime to LG k7. This is my favorite part about metro you buy a phone you actually buy and keep for any carrier
