With a Verizon motorola droid pro xt610 cdma is there a custom rom to install/flash so that it will be unlocked to work here in USA on tmobile sim?
As I understand it, this Verizon phone it is possible to unlock it but it will only work internationally and not here in USA like on tmobile or at&t since Verizon blocked USA carriers I guess.
So I want to see if there's a custom hacked firmware or something so I can install it and work with USA tmobile? Thanks
Try this

use RSD lite to flash the SBF.
I recently activated my SM-N910A on my new T-Mobile account. The phone was out of contract, so I asked AT&T to unlock it, and they did. The phone is working properly with my T-Mobile SIM card, albeit on the AT&T firmware.
Is it possible to replace the AT&T firmware with a stock Samsung Firmware, or, at the very least, with the T-Mobile branded firmware (for SM-N910T)? I understand that the bootloader is locked on these AT&T devices. Is it possible to unlock the bootloader and load a different firmware onto the device?
AT&T firmware has SO much bloatware, and I've not had any luck finding a way to root the phone on this firmware, so I'm stuck with all that bloat. What are my options here? Thanks!
EDIT: The phone was updated OTA to Marshmallow (6.0.1) when it was on the AT&T network. Build number is MMB29M.N910AUCS2EPH7
Hello. I have been on the forum for days searching for answers for the sprint variant, which is hard to find solid proof of it working completely on gsm. Now for the verizon variant. If I buy a verizon variant will it work fully on GSM carriers like at&t?
Plus can it be fully converted? Including radio, to the US unlocked version? I have done it in the past with the at&t m8, converting it to unlocked variant with s-off, cid change, and ruu. I see tutorials saying to flash unlocked version to then reflash verizon radio. Will it work with unlocked radio? Or is it the same as with the sprint variant, where it always needs sprint radio?
Thanks for any help.

Thanks. I had read that forum, but since the guide posted says to flash verizon radio, I was wondering if you could leave the unlocked radio. After reading various posts afterwards it seems it is posible to not flash the verizon radio (keep the unlocked radio).

Correct, you can fully convert to Unlocked without flashing anything Verizon afterwards. Im using my Vzw 10 on a gsm network, converted to unlocked.

Thanks. I will look into buying the verizon variant. Did you also have to sim unlock? Or will flashing the unlocked version ruu take care of that? I truely doubt it, but I can not find any verizon unlocking service. And the only 10's I can find are locked to verizon.

Verizon 10 is not sim locked. You can take it, in stock Verizon form, and insert a gsm sim card and it will work. The real benefit of converting to unlocked is to have direct updates, have access to more lte bands, and best of all not have Verizon's bloated OS.
Ok, so I've successfully don't the TMobile to international (without unlocked bootloader) trick to unlock my bootloader. My friend wants me to do the same with his, though I just realized he is using his with MetroPCS. Will this method still work? Or should we apply for token to do it? Model number is the same as my TMobile version.
It will still work.
I bought the retail version of the Moto Z4 and couldnt get video and wifi calling up and running. I then unlocked bootloader and installed verizon firmware. Just ensure you have video and wifi calling provisioned on sim card before you switch. I have rooted the phone with Magisk and removed all of the verizon crap i hate. So after about 5 years with no root, I sort of have a verizon phone with root. It will even let you update the firmware from the computer if you want to, not sure about OTA because I haven't had one yet. You will just need to redo boot.img with Magisk.
Do you know if this will work with the Unlocked version (XT1980-3)? Or is that the same as the retail version? The only two models I'm aware of are the XT1980-3 (Unlocked) and XT1980-4 (VZW). Which model is the "retail" version?
IIRC, the XT1980-3 is considered retail, so I'd say that one
