Rooted Locked Razr M/ How do I get recovery/GSM Straight Talk - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The situation is this: Friend got a Droid Razr M, and I went and rooted it. I have learned that it's impossible pretty much to unlock the bootloader since his was built May 24th and has the most current OTA update.
What he would like to have is the phone on the Straight Talk Network. He would also like a custom recovery and ROM. I'm a little lost on this phone and have spent 3 hours reading at least on the forum between last night and this afternoon. Is it possible someone could give me some pointers?

I prefer using the NV Item method with CDMA NV-Items Reader Writer, offered free from CDMA-Ware.
(Credits for this go to tehjolly81 for his PagePlus guide to connect phone)
1) With the phone off, do the three-finger salute (hold Volume Up and Down and Power to boot) and boot into BP Tools mode (looks just like normal boot).
2) Now connect phone to PC via USB cable. If you are on Win7 x64 like me, Windows should find 4 new devices but won't have the drivers to install any of them. If prompted to install anything by Windows, (i.e., Add New Hardware Wizard, etc) cancel out of it.
3) Click 'Start' -> right click on 'Computer' and choose 'Properties'. Click on 'Device Manager' on the left. Here you should see 4 items from the phone that are missing a driver (they will have a yellow question mark next to them).
4) One of the items with a question mark should be labeled something similar to "QC Interface" (NOT the NMEA interface). Right click on it and choose Update Driver Software. Now choose Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer -> Show all devices -> Motorola -> Motorola QC Diag Port. Finish running through the wizard and it should install the correct driver. After installed, it should show the COM Port # that the diagnostic interface is installed on under the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section of Device Manager.
After getting the QC Interface and getting a com port, just download the free NV-Items reader writer from Here.
Unrar the exe and run it;
1: Select the com port of your phone and hit connect
2: Press read at the top, bottom should say this: Log message: > SPC is correct. Phone unlocked
3: In Range (Dec): put 8322 in the left box 8323 in the right box and hit read; it will prompt to save as a text file.
4: Open the file and change the first 01 to 00 under the 8322 section DO NOT MODIFY 8323. Save the changes.
5: Tap Write and select the saved text file, it should show Writing NV-items from a file: Done at the bottom.
6: Tap Mode > Reset then tap Disconnect and close the program, GSM should work fine after that.
I find this method easier and less dangerous than the Radiocomm method.
This is *IF* you want to use Straight Talk's GSM BYOP, they DO offer CDMA BYOP now, which then should just activate like a normal Verizon phone after you buy their network code and activate the MEID with them.

[Q] Controlling Nexus 4 on the PC after breaking screen, possible?

Hey guys,
Haven't been here for a while. Okay, so I have a bit of a dilemma and every solution I've found requires something I just can't do. Here's the situation: my screen is broken, it has a lock screen, not in developer's mode, not unlocked.
This means:
I won't be able to transfer my files over, as I have to get past the lock screen
I can only install applications from Play store on my computer, but can't launch them
No use for any method that requires phone to be rooted
Can't even activate any USB options to transfer files some other way
Still need to be able to control it to create backups and such of important SMS messages, get files off
Does anyone have any suggestions at all? I don't want to have to resort to replacing the screen, as that'll end up costing me enough time and money where it's more cost-effective to purchase a new phone; however, I really need what's on my phone as soon as possible. Thanks in advance.
I think I have a solution for you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2177440 Specifically, you'll want to read this post:

So typically, just as I fill my claim to repair my nexus my wife drops her, smashing the screen even more than I did so she has absolutely no use of her screen. I went through the process again and though I'd post it in a more simple fashion.
1. Reset Nexus into recovery mode (power & volume down)
2. Connect to PC via USB. Install the USB driver from the SDK so that it appears as an ADB device
3. Fire up the updated toolkit. You should see the nexus as a fast boot device
4. Unlock bootloader
5. Using option 10 on the toolkit load up CWM on the phone. This gives you ADB access so can you pull files off the device via ADB although I could access the SD card through programs like Droid explorer.
6. If you want to carry on further and get into Android properly, you'll need to wipe the cache from within CWM
7. Reboot and hold down the volume key to get back into recovery
8. In the toolkit select root options (option 4) and load temporary image (6) If it hangs on the google or nexus logo you've not wiped the cache.
9. With this second phone I couldn't access it through droid explorer as it was popping up as an MTP device but I could pull the files via command prompt or through the toolkit
10. If you have any use of the touchscreen at all you can run the following command which will then mean that any touch will unlock the device
adb shell rm /data/system/gesture.key​11. You can activate bluetooth via adb if you have a mouse or keyboard available but you will need to be able to press okay on the screen
12. Any changes you make in the unstable android image such as lockscreen, bluetooth, enabling debugging, etc will remain in place when you restart the device.
13. You can relock the bootloader if you wish via the toolkit. You just need to be in recovery mode first.
Hope this simplifies the process

In the future, always enable USB debugging in case of incidents like this. You can then use ADB commands to do a heck of a lot of things. Of course, it does make your phone data vulnerable if it gets stolen, but I'm willing to take the risk, plus 10 wrong PIN tries = reset anyway.

1. It means that if you have the SDK Manager installed on your computer, somewhere between the last packages at the bottom of the list, you'll see "android drivers" (or something similar). With those drivers, your device will show up in "Device manager"(the Windows' one) as an adb device.
2. But if you don't want to get the SDK Manager and be quicker, you can download only those drivers, directly from the "Google developers" page and install them manually by going to "Device manager", right clicking on the Nexus 4 (it will appear with a yellow triangle on it, maybe), then "Update driver", "...BROWSE computer...", then click again on "Browse", then go to where the drivers have been downloaded and select the entire folder by highlighting it and clicking ok (or something). The folder with the driver would look like this "latest_usb_driver_windows" and inside you'll see another folder called "usb_drivers". That's what you need to select and install.
So that's what you need to do to make your phone appear as an adb device in "Device manager". And, of course, adb let's you do a lot of stuff to your phone through your computer, but probably you already knew that.

---from cellzealot on how to load Win7 x64 drivers---
cellzealot said:
Here is a screenshot of Device Manager on my PC on WIN7 64 bit with the latest 6.2 Motorola USB drivers and my XT907 connected in BP Tools mode with all of the interfaces highlighted.
There are 3 modems, 1 network device and 1 COM port that should be present and installed.
The 6.2 driver set has signed versions for these device interfaces so no force loading should be required and they should install automatically when the phone is connected in BP Tools mode with USB debugging enabled.
Make note of the port number assigned to the COM Port as that is the port you will use for CDMA WS or DFS or any other QC based NV access tool.
The QC Interface is the Motorola QC Diag Port.
Right click and choose Update Drivers then choose Do not load drivers automatically. Allow me to choose from a list of available devices.
Scroll down to Ports: COM/LPT and then Motorola and then Motorola QC Diag Port.
It will warn about unsigned drivers, just click Install anyway and it will load the driver and show up with a COM port number assigned.
Use that COM port for CDMA WS to edit the NV.
If you continue to have problems, I suggest reflashing the firmware or just the modem and fsg.mbn in fastboot, and starting over.

Yeah this method is a bit easier, given RadioComm's daunting interface. What version of CDMA WS did you use? The website lists Free/Lite/Ultimate, but it's not clear if that's just determined by the key that you enter.

Yes, my GSM SIM worked fine on stock and based on stock roms, but when I tried CM 10.2 for xt926 (Android 4.3) it just couldn't find my mobile network. CM 10.2 for xt925 finds network but can't connect to them automaticly or manually, so I want to try this tutorial for CM10.2 for xt926.

There's a patch for the gsm but people are reporting no luck so far with CM 10.2 4.3 based ROMs on the Razr M. This method does not help that but if you find out otherwise id like to know
My phone xt926 is working on PacMans ROM. I followed these instructions. Did a full wipe including system. Installed the PacMan Gsm ROM. Everything but UMTS works. Edge data works fine.
UMTS works fine with the stock ROM. I wonder if of is a seem edit or build prop issue to get it working on AOSP ROMs

Flash Me, maybe?
I now have HSPA+ working on my phone with PacMan.
In case anyone is interested in either thanking me for being brilliant or roast me for sucking at searching for pre existing solutions, I'll post my steps here.
1. Flash to stock using RSD Lite and the newest Verizon files from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/vanquish/list.php
2. Follow the instructions from either this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2389740 or this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2166542 I used the RadioComm method because screw drivers
3. Ensure the new gsm sim is registered and working on the network.
4. Download the your favorite ROM. I am using the PacMan 4.3
5. In recovery wipe everything including the system, cache and dalvik cache
6. Install Rom and wipe cache again
7. Boot, login, and download Viaero 4g toggle or press *#*#4636#*#* and change the phone to GSM/wcdma (prl).
8. Add this to your bulid.prop thanks to mattwheat at droidrzr.com. http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...et-data-and-smsmms-working-on-xt926-422-roms/

Hey guys ive been pretty stoked to root and rom my g2 now that im bored of LG's UI haha i have been trying to use the IOroot method but something about the drivers is giving me such a hard time! i installed them but every time i open a command window and type in "adb devices" nothing is coming up so obviously its not being able to read my device which isnt alowing me to root my phone any help would be greatly appriciated! thanks in advance
I was having trouble, finally went to LG site to download drivers

adb is a special android thing. You need to install it to just use it anywhere. Do this:
1. Create a folder on your desktop (you can call it root or whatever you want).
2. Extract IORoot into folder created in step one.
3. SHIFT RIGHT CLICK and do "open command window here" (This is the most important).
4. type
Code:
adb devices
5. if you devices shows run the root.bat file to root your device.

This is just a thought, but maybe, power the phone off, power the PC off. Turn them both back on, re-read the instructions on how to root the phone. It sort of sounds like you could be missing just a little thing on the instructions. You may also try a different USB port on your PC too. I rooted mine back on iRoot 6 so I would have to think that iRoot 10 should be better then what I used.

I had the same issue. I installed these lg drivers, not sure if they had anything to do with it because it still didn't work. What finally worked was when I turned off debug and may have been in mtp connection. Obviously after you have to put back in debug and ethernet connection to follow the ioroot method.

unfortunatly with ethernet on i am still getting the same results... its just not recognizing my device? at least now in the notification bar i get the notification that USB debugging is on so i guess im making progress? uggh this is getting pretty annoying any thoughts guys?
Run it directly from local drive root. IE C:/ Windows 7? Control alt delete. End the stale adb process, you should see two, one not performing sitting around 2000 kb ram and the other using ram. End that and it should force adb to kick in. I had to do this on win 7 multiple times with dif phones. It's like it locks up when finding the com port or whatever the hell it's doing. I take no blame if you screw up your device this way. I have resorted to a virtual xp for all my phone needs as not everything works in Linux.
Here's how rooted my phone with IORoot:
Unzipped IORoot to root of my hard drive
Plugged in phone with usb (make sure debug mode is enabled). When prompted to choose connection, choose modem. You should see debug icon appear in status bar. If not, choose Ethernet.
Opened IORoot folder. Hold down shift and right click an empty area and choose 'open command window'
Type adb devices. If device shows up, proceed. With normal root procedure.

Here's how rooted my phone with IORoot:
Unzipped IORoot to root of my hard drive
Plugged in phone with usb (make sure debug mode is enabled). When prompted to choose connection, choose modem. You should see debug icon appear in status bar. If not, choose Ethernet.
Opened IORoot folder. Hold down shift and right click an empty area and choose 'open command window'
Type adb devices. If device shows up, proceed. With normal root procedure.

Not sure if it matters but I am running 64 bit Windows 8
- In the instructions didn't you have to change a setting for the Com Port to get it to see the phone??
- Did you ever get the prompt on your phone to accept the Connection. I can not remember what it was, but it only comes up once, and I am not referring to the USB connection IE Ethernet??
- Are you sure you have Developer Options turned on?? The step where you keep tapping on the Developer thing and then the phone finally gives you the Developer Options??

XT1528 - Script to use Moto E with GSM carriers (automated)

Hi guys,
I created a batch file that should simplify the selection of LTE/GSM mode (which is hidden/not enabled on XT1528) for usage with GSM carriers. It includes ADB and the batch file itself.
Windows only guys, sorry to others platforms. Tested with 5.1, if doesn't work with other versions, just let me know to test.
THIS DOESNT REMOVE THE SIM LOCK, JUST ENABLES A HIDDEN OPTION FROM MOTO E 2ND 4G XT1528
I didnt found this, I just gathered the info and created the batch for easiest method. All credit to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/general/how-to-verizon-moto-e-2015-gsm-network-t3098953
Instrucctions:
0) Insert sim card on phone (if wasn't already there)
1) Download the attached file and unzip it somewhere on your hardrive (something like "c:\temp" for example)
2) Enable USB debugging on your cellphone.
3) Connect your cellphone to the computer that has the files.
4) Accept the RSA Key in your cellphone screen (it will pop when you connect the cellphone in USB Debugging mode)
5) Run the "gsmfix" file (either via command line or windows explorer)
6) Follow the instructions.
You should be able to use gsm signals after the reboot. Remember to add your APN or you wont have internet.
If something doesn't work, let me know and I'll to fix it fast.
Bye!
I can use on the xt1511 ? 3G ?

This script selects GSM instead of CDMA in the cellphone Moto E 2nd Gen Verizo). If your phone doesn't have the option to choose that on mobile networks, you can give it a try.
If you are looking for something that will unlock the carrier lock and allow you use your cellphone in other carriers besides the one intended, it wont do anything. For that, you'll have to buy a unlock code from one of many websites that sell that service on internet.
Bye!

So instead of doing this
5.1 Updated Instrcutions:
With the SIM you want to use the the phone :
Put the phone into Airplane mode (I'm not sure this is needed, but it doesn't hurt)
Go to Settings -> About Phone and tap on "Build Number" until it says you are in Developer Mode (~10 times)
Go back one menu, and right above About Phone there should now be an option for Developer Options, go into that.
Turn on USB Debugging
Connect the phone to your computer and type "adb shell" in your CMD window
Run the following commands in adb shell : settings put global preferred_network_mode 9 settings put global preferred_network_mode1 9 settings put global preferred_network_mode2 9
Turn off Airplane mode
Power off and Restart the phone
Open up the settings app, go to the mobile networks panel, select "Prefered Network Mode" and change it to "4G"
Input the appropriate APNs for your specific carrier
I can just run this script and I'll get the same outcome? Because I'm switching my sim card out and I heard that you have to repeat the process above when the sim card is taken out etc.
Y es, it does the same thing

I guess it's good to have one more option for GSM, even if it is the same as in the other thread.

4.) Start RealTerm on your pc and under display check the box HALF DUPLEX.
5.) Right click on my computer and select manage once it opens click device manager then modems
6.) Under modems you should see a Samsung device. right click it then select properties
7.) Once the properties window opens select modem tab and see what port it is on like com5 for an example
8.)Now that you know the com port number close all device manager windows and open RealTerm again
9.)Under the ports tab in RealTerm enter your port number then click change
10.) Next click the send tab. you will need to send following two commands with the Send ASCII button
11.) First –> at+creg?\r\n
12.) Then –> atd1234;\r\n

Which firmware were you running when this worked for you? 6.0 or 7.0. Was the oem lock on?

I believe it was 6.0 marshmallow. I do know that its no longer working for the newer version. I havent look into it but the idea is to get pass any screen that would allow you to install the apk via. 3rd party you can frp reset with the same apk file. (sometimes requiring you to push different buttons in certain order or speed)

True. I've watched the video a few times, and the goal is just to get to the place where you can interact with the phone and run that file. I want to say I made it most of the way through this method before, when I first started. But I was only beginning. So I didn't know about ROMs, and versions, and such. Now, i realize it wouldn't work because I had 7.0 and the menus and such differ. Anyway, off to try again. Sigh.
