Hi,
I am from India.
I got a phone from my friend which is Motorola Droid RAZR M with is tied up with Verizon.
Now I want to use Airtel Service in India. After I insert the SIM, the phone recognizes the Airtel Service for a second and then it shows nothing. I think I have to unlock the mobile.
As I am completely new to android, could any body suggest how to do or how to make the mobile work in India using Airtel GSM sim?
Please provide the steps and the requirements as well.
Thanks in advance...

By doing a root using the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32889627 will it help??? or by using bootloader unlock will it help? Please guide me or make me start to do something....
If you are using GSM no you don't need to unlock it.
Just make sure you are on Ice Cream Sandwich or Jelly Bean.
Stick the GSM Sim in there press okay if it says SIM form unknown source and you should get all ur signals.
If you are planning to use it with a CDMA Carrier then u have to do settings flash and hope they stick so u can ask ur provider to connect it to their network.
Also are you using Retail XT907 or Developer XT907 ???
any luck
so we're you able to make the SIM card work?

Thanks for the information but it does not seem to be working. I inserted a GSM (BSNL) sim card into it. Reset all data. When the phone restarted it says "SIM from unknown source". I press OK. It shows a few bars (does not show any data access). However I am unable to make any calls nor does it receive any calls. I even changed the "Preferred network mode" to "GSM/UMTS". Am I missing something? I could sure use some help here.

I tried flashing the aussie NON-HLOS.bin and it did not work. The operator was BSNL. Upon inserting the sim, I get an error saying "BSNL Mobile - An error occured". List of available networks was also empty. Only option is to rinstall some custom rom, I guess.

I have uploaded the file at h t t p : / / d-hDOTst/FpQ. (I am apparently not allowed to post external links until I have 10 posts.) Though I am not sure why you would want to do that.
Can some upload a copy of the original XT-907 radio? I am unable to find it anywhere. Thanks.

All of the currently available Motorola firmware files are available at that link.
Just download the full XML.zip for XT907 and use what you need from it or flash the entire file in RSD Lite.
New RAZR M
Hi,
Were you able to resolve it?
I have a RAZR xt910 and i am using the verizon leak and for me as well Airtel gets connected and everything with mobile network in status showing as disconnected. Just wanted to share that. Apart from that, i have something new i want to ask about.
I am thinking of buying a RAZR M for my friend, and its available here in India, Mumbai.
But the Reliance guy says its not a boxed piece and he says all imports are opened box pieces and that he has to open the box to edit some PRL settings to enable the phone or data or something like that. He is a CDMA phone service vendor.
Probably for you to enable the phone, you still might have to enable the PRL or whatever.
Anyone here knows what exactly he is trying to do? or is he bull****ting me for selling me an unboxed (probably used) phone from US. The price seems legit as compared to an imported version. And i am getting one year Seller's warranty, i.e. his shop - Reliance Webworld Communications(A known enterprise).
I have also asked this query in another thread for JBX custom Rom as i use that on my RAZR. Will share any details here if i find anything.
PS- I am going to his shop to understand what exactly he is doing so lets hope i find an answer to your problems as well.
Also if anyone knows how to get a proper box piece from US then that is also welcome. We will fix the not able to use issue here itself
This kinda happened to me (but in my case mine was just saying no service [ie the shield with a cross]) , are you sure your sim is activated (since it shows mobile network status as disconnected) or your carrier could just be evil and want you to sign up for a plan, in my case I told them I had a 4g device and to use my phone I had to sign up for a 4g plan (which I did on my lesser mb520) even though I had service (for about 15 minutes) when I just bought the sim and activated it at the dealer

Droid RAZR basically a World phone, means it can work on cdma/gsm networks.
when it got released it's GSM radio was disabled & in later motorola/verizon updates unlocked the GSM signals to make it
world phone.
FYI,
just google "droid razr world phone", you will see multiple sites reporting verizon unlocking the GSM signals on the phone to allow global roaming on GSM networks.
Dude !! i am talking about the Droid Razr M and not the Original XT912
tell me something i am not aware of
the newer variants of razr M arent letting the users to use them on gsm radio
if anyone can help then plz do
Guys plz help me out here
some how this particular razr m is not latching onto gsm network at all
is there anything one can do ?
like downgrading the android version ( which i suspect isnt possible as its on stock JB )
or unlocking the bootloader and rooting it

You might have to dial 01191 + the number, that is the normal way to access India from the US. But that seems strange, because the access numbers should be via your local phone provider. I'm assuming you changed your SIM chip...
Be careful of custom ROMS - your T-mobile HD2 is different from the international version and will not accept a world wide ROM. The ROM has to be made for T-Mobile US.
Yes please make sure if you use a custom Rom that its made for your US model some can be used for both
Sent from my duel booting beast of a phone
Thanks stevedebi
My problem is limited to some nos. Most of the nos I can dial. Thats what puzzles me.
Like Blackberry, where you select the country prefix in settings, can I select the country in HD2? Or is there some registry tweak to solve this? I am using an India SIM card. There is no issue with SIM as I am able to dial all nos using same SIM in a different phone.
Is there a ROM update for T-Mobile HD2? Pl help with links...

Hello people,
I have a fully unlocked Rogers Canada S8500R ->S8500RUXJF3/S8500RRWCJF3 (RWC) with bada v1.0.
I tried flashing newer firmware v1.2 ->S8500XXKF3, but got a problem - WIFI mac address disappeared. So, I decided to go back to some of the older versions ->S8500XEJL2. Now I have the MAC address and WIFI working, but the phone does not find any GSM network. Tried with two different network providers (different sim cards) with no luck.
I used the instructions and the firmware provided here:
http://www.sammobile.com/threads/45-Samsung-S8500-Wave-Firmwares.
All update steps pass without errors. Using multiloader v5.64.
Any ideas or suggestions how to resolve this will be appreciated?
Bro your wave 8500 cant find the rogers GSM band because you flashed it with a generic firmware so the settings havent been set yet for rogers.
Did you check your phone settings and try to set it to auto? if this doenst work then manually select the gsm band that Rogers uses.
How is your 3g btw?
Yes, it is set to auto. Besides that I'm located in Europe in the moment and no network is detected.
try manually setting it then to the bands that your provider uses.
---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------
oh your in europe now...btw have you activated the sim for MMS/3G?
In my country when we buy a new sim we have to send a code to the service provider so that they can activate the 3g capability of the sim.
Call the service provider of the sim your using and ask them if the sim has been activated for 3g and MMS.
The problem is that the phone actually doesn't find any GSM network after flashing with euro firmware, not just the 3G.
However, there are some Brazilian roms of bada v.1 with which the phone finds network.
Sorry
Where in europe are you now?
The wave 8500 is quadband GSM so it shouldnt have problems finding a GSM network anywhere in the world.
However go back to your original firmware bada 1.0 just to test that the quadband is working properly.
Then take a good look at the other bada 1.2 firmwares because some are not full firmwares ex there are firmwares that require a previous firmware be installed before they work properly.
After flashing back to your original firmware, post the results.
That's the problem..., I can't find any original firmware for Rogers Canada.
If you find any, please, let us know!
I dont know what to tell you
Rogers that rang a bell for me... i looked up at sammobile.com and rogers wasnt in any of the provider firmwares.
Then i remembered years back about the omnia windows 6.5 phone on rogers where they couldnt unlock the phone to be used on other networks until you get an unlock code from rogers.
It seems your phone has a network provider lock which is almost similar to a simlock.
(locked to one provider)
There were warnings on samfirmware before that locked and branded waves should not be flashed without unlocking first.
Ive posted links below including google.
there are several videos on youtube can you try copying the unlock code they used but it seems you have to buy the code but in the video it shows the code try it..

I think I have this problem too after I tried (unsuccessfully) to root my phone. Now I can only get some networks (Tmobile & Orange) but not my network (Talkmobile, which piggybacks Vodafone). I've been googling around about this for a while and I think it may be that I need to cahange my baseband. Current ver is EPU93_U_00.60.03. But I don't know how to do this. Any help to a noobe would be much appreciated...

Hello guys,as the title says,i have this annoying problem.
After the phone came from warranty(due to a sod),the connection was ok.used 1 orange sim(1900mhz) and 1 data sim(umts 2100) without any problems.i got a very bad itch :banghead: and updated the rom to latest Croatia pack(MA1 if i'm not mistaken,i dont have the phone now,my gf does).i'm from Romania,wich is very close to Croatia.flashing went good,no problems,but now all i get is EDGE/GPRS connection.no 3g or hsdpa/hsupa.what could've caused this and,most important,how could i fix it?i looked for the original firmware,couldn't find it.it was something with XXLL9 or XXLA9.i already tried flashing another stock rom with odin,pit and bootloader.
if it is modem related,what version should i flash?thanks in advance.

It may sound noobish, but what is the relation between the csc and 3g/hsdpa?On my note i can set the csc to brazil,canada,singapore or whatever country/region i want,but the highspedd connection remains,no matter what. This looks like a hw issue,but i'm trying to understand how could this happend.
i revived the phone with ROM S6102 DDLD4,pit and bootloader,since i noticed /data partition is getting corrupted very easy on this phone. Then I flashed this http://galaxy-updates.org/showthread.php?tid=83,(Croatia) since is newer version.Wanted to have a new base for any custom rom i would use.After this i flashed DreamFusion ICS.All installes were clean,with proper wipes.
Tomorrow will try stock LG3 firmware.
Besides, i always set the CSC to XEU(nordic countries),because there are some promotions on samsung apps on that region. It happend to me many times to get free games/apps from samsung apps,while on market they costed alot .

Are you sure your setting is proper.. i mean have you set 3g connection to proper sim?? inside settings-->wireless networks--> mobile networks option?
Also, check in sim manager option to see if it has set to proper data connection if you have data connection on both sims.. you might be using the wrong sim here.. and make sure you are getting 3g reception in that area where you are trying to use 3g connection.. by putting that icon to some other phone with 3g capabilities.. or try changing sim slots and see if 2nd slot / vice versa may be able to connect..
My friend, i'm not that noob...Both sims working great with other phones,3g/hsdpa ok.
It also worked before i got that itch to flash new rom.The funny thing is,after the kies update, it is the same version i flashed with odin ...
I made some investigations, using secret codes.Status check with *#*#4636#*#*
Results are these:
Orange Sim(2G/3G-900-1900Mhz) : can connect only on EDGE,it shows network type EDGE only(while it should've been HSDPA)
Digi Mobile(Data only sim UMTS 2100Mhz) : The damn thing sees the HSDPA network type,but GPRS service disconnected.
I'm going NUTS:cyclops:

Well, I never told you a noob...
Those minor details might get overlooked when we try to troubleshoot.. so to be safe than sorry.. just made sure it wasn't the cause.. anyway... can you show screenshot of both sim setting if you don't mind? I mean , mobile network option(in settings)
It would help understand more.. have you tried contacting your service provider? What they told?

don't have to contact,since both sims are working on my note.also there is no signal issue,i live in an area with 43mbps coverage(H+).
will post screenshots as soon as i get home.
Here are the screens from service mode.
First is with orange sim, only EDGE
Second is with DigiMobil, GPRS, but disconnected.On this sim also it sees the HSDPA network type, but GPRS still disconnected.
The apn's are properly set,orange apn is detected automatically,while i set the digi apn myself.it's not hard,only 2 sections need to be completed

I know what you mean. First of all,my settings are not similar to yours,if you also have a Y duos.
I don't have network mode option like you do.But i went in service mode,with the secret code, and choose theer proper settings...
I don't have other options.all i have is dual sim manager and some suplimentary settings in wireless and network.
all of those are properly set,no problems there, since i do get edge connection on the 3g settings on orange sim.to be honest, i don't care about that sim, because i don't use data on orange.i'm interesting in data sim(digi mobile),but that network works only on UMTS2100.this means no gprs/edge connection will work....and this sux...big time.

I guess this is going no where.. as I'm not able to understand how you are not getting 3g if you have 3g coverage and if your sim was supposed to be able to connect to 3g networks.. you sure you have been able to connect to 3g with that same sim? And your carrier has not blocked 3g to that sim??
APNs missing your Simcard not download it auto you must manual
on orange,the apn is created automatically.2 apn's,mms and internet.
for digi,i create it myself,i need only name and apn to be completed.this is how it works here.it always have been like this.orange is a recognized provider and the apn is created when you insert the sim.
the sims are ok,i tested them on this note.
i guess i'll just send the phone to warranty,since it has the original software.

I have the same problem. i.e. it works great on 2g/gprs but the moment I change setting to WCDMA it gets disconnected and won't connect.
Driving me nuts as I tried to reset the phone few times to factory defaults, but still the same.
Not rooted.
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: S6102DDMF4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7
Version: DDMF4 (auto update from samsung)
Any help is greatly appreciated. I use this as my backup phone / hot spot when I travel. This issue made it effectively useless..
I have a galaxy S4 sch-r970 (from US Cellular) and I am located in Europe (Greece), when I put my local carrier sim it says invalid sim, do you think that my phone is sim locked?. Also in options, at available bands, it has only cdma/lte, no gsm/wcdma to select.Anyone know how can I enable the GSM band to use it in my Country? I know the phone hardware supports the GSM bands, also its written on the manual and on the box. Can I flash a european rom and rebrand the phone to a gt-i9505? or flash another modem to enable GSM?? I cannot find any complete instructions about this. Plase if anyone know what to do give me some light, I have searched all over the internet without a clear answer

Your phone is Qualcomm based. The hardware supports GSM and LTE. Did you try flashing a GT i9505 ROM? That should come with a GSM enabled radio. I wonder if the antennas on your phone support your country's frequencies.

I just tried to flash the custom rom omega now for i9505 and working, but first problem I cannot turn on the wifi.I insert my sim card and it says NO SIM card inserted. At original rom used to say invalid sim. Maybe this has to do with the sim lock. I will try to call us-cellular and ask them for unlock code. Also in supported networks now I have also gsm/wcdma but I when I select one of them it returns back automaticly to CDMA. So maybe its something that has to do with the modem. Can I flash a european modem or it will hard brick my device? anyone know?

Try flashing an XX modem for the i9505 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192025
That way you won't have to reflash the whole ROM.

Go into service mode by dialing *#0011# and see what network type settings you find.

are you sure that it is safe to do this? some say flashing another carrier modem can hard brick devices! I dont care if it will soft bricked and then reflash it *with odin to revive but I dont want to end with a complete dead phone
I have copied the entire EFS folder to a safe place? is this enough for backup? also tried already this sim unlock method, but doesnt seem to do something, I still have the invalid sim error message.
by dialing *#0011# I find that has all the network settings about WCDMA,GSM,LTE,CDMA, and also all the frequencies about each band.
another question is: if the hardware its completly the same as the european version, theoretically someone can flash the european modem,rom,kernel and bootloader and transform the device completly to a european model. Can anyone give me a clear answer if this is possible? because I dont know a reason why this cant be done.!! and I am much interested to do this, if its possible :laugh:

I don't know if the hardware is completely the same or not. You have already flashed Omega 6 which is based on a GSM stock ROM and includes GSM modem firmware which works in Europe.
The issue here imho is configuring the modem correctly, since it was configured by Samsung for US Cellular so it works in CDMA mode. Does the phone go into GSM roaming mode if you plug in a US Cellular SIM card?
Copying the contents of the EFS partition is not enough. I would use an EFS backup/restore app for that task.
Playing with the baseband configuration can hard brick the phone, as some have reported.

the omega rom didnt changed my modem, I can see in about phone but it remains the original.
I have put the us cellular sim card but cannot connect to any network.
Also about EFS, I tried the efs pro but after recognising the phone with ADB doesnt show in the list inside the program. Maybe due to not known model like i9505

You are right about Omega 6 not changing the modem software. I have been using Omega for S3 since Aug 2012 and I thought the modem firmware was always updated to match the rest of the release. Sorry about that mistake.
Can you call US Cellular and ask if they have roaming agreement with your Greek GSM operator? That might shed some light on compatibility.

I will give them a call, but I believe the reason why cannot find network with uscellular sim its not having roaming agreement with Greek GSM as you said. But I dont care about roaming. I want to use my local sim cards for GSM network and pay for local prices.
little update: I just called us-cellular customer care, and they cannot help me! They are trying to tell me that this is a not world phone and I can use it only with their sim cards ! :laugh: they Dont know also something about sim lock, cannot provide me any unlock codes they said. So, anyone can tell me what can I do now? I dont want to sell it.

Well, if selling it is not an option, you can try flashing an old 9505 XX modem from the post I mentioned previously and then try to SIM unlock it from the service menu.

What about buying an unlock code on eBay? I've done it several times and it usually works. The cost is very low, usually less than 5 US dollars
hey any update

Hi, I have the same phone, and I am in Dominican Republic. I need to use it with a local GSM provider, but when I insert the sim card the phone shows the message INVALID SIM CARD.
Did you resolved this issue? If so, please tell me how to resolve it.
Thanks.
