[Q] Unlock - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I recently picked up the GSM version (Rogers) and am having issues with unlocking.
I've tried two online services without luck.
As you can see, I am trying to avoid paying the $50 fee that is being requested from the carrier.
Can anyone recommend a reputable vendor?

Whom have you tried unlocking it with? Have you tried cellunlocker.net? They claim to have an unlock code for the RAZR HD.

Confirmed. Successfully unlocked 2 RAZR HDs both locked to Orange (France).

Thank you both for the suggestions.
I tried theunlockshack.com but they could not locate an unlock code (but they graciously refunded my money).
Additionally, I tried a reseller on eBay but they were also unable to locate a code.
Ultimately, I utilized a local shop and had it unlocked in a matter of minutes. Not my first choice because of the cost but I am up and running.
All the best!

I found this website too if someone need

I used cellunlocker.net. You must specify a "Droid Razr HD".

To address the questions concerning different countries, consider the following:
You can purchase the Verizon model (Droid Razr Maxx HD - XT926) or the GSM variant (Razr HD - XT925).
Both models take a SIM meaning they can be unlocked to work on networks other than the ones they were originally intended for.
You must be certain that the bands are compatible with your carrier (e.g. Viettel Mobile, MobiFone etc etc for Vietnam OR Movistar, TelCel etc etc for Mexico).
The bands for the Droid Razr Maxx HD are:
2G Network - CDMA 800 / 1900
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network - CDMA2000 1xEV-DO
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network - LTE 700 MHz Class 13
AND
The bands for the Razr HD are:
2G Network - GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network - HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
4G Network - LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600
LTE 700 / 800 / 1700 / 1800 / 2600
Call the Carrier you plan to use and ask if the bands are compatible.

If anyone finds a way to unlock this phone, please post it here.

[Q]Difference beetween XT925 and XT926

As we all know, there are 2 versions of Razr Hd (and hope soon MAXX as well) phone
XT925 that is made for Verison
XT926 that is made for all other world
The main difference is LTE :
925:
4G Network LTE 800 / 1800 / 2600
LTE 700 / 800 / 1700 / 1800 / 2600
926: 4G Network LTE 700 MHz Class 13
The question is whether it is software block or those are 2 different hardware phones?
Do want to purchase one MAXX phone for Europe for Verison and want to know is there any chance that it would work with European LTE
Take a look @ this comparison via PDADB:
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdacomparer&id1=3446&id2=3811
It provides you with all the CDMA information versus that of the GSM.
Megafon and Yota both appear to offer Band 7 @ 2600Mhz which appears to coincide with the GSM version. That leads me to believe that using an unlocked XT925 on either network would result in a LTE connection.

size for cases
Hello,
On the link you posted the size dimensions are exactly the same, I'm looking to buy accessories(case, cover, tripod, charger, etc) but for some reason the xt926 accessories are much cheaper than the xt925. Will all accessories fit the same for both phones?
Xt925 and XT926 have different radio hardware. 926 has cdma and 1 lte band, 925 has more, but different lte bands.
Which version is the one that is offered by Rogers (Canada)? And, if I get that one, and unlock it to use it in Serbia, are there some 4.1 custom ROMs for it?

Rogers Canada is XT925. It is the GSM model, you should be able to unlock it and use it all around the world, just be sure the GSM/UMTS/LTE frequencies are compatible.

Stupid Question, I have the XT926 and I live in Florida. I am moving to germany in March, will this phone work over there?
Yes, it is unlocked.
Caveats:
You won't get LTE (only 4G/HSPA+)
Every time you boot up it will say "SIM is from an unknown source"
When you come back to the US, you'll have to use VZW. TMobile/ATT are blocked
So im confused...if i live in saskatchewan canada and my carrier is sasktel....using 4g hspa....which phone should get...the xt926 or the xt925.....just wondering cuz i want to buy this phone....thank you
Hey,
There must be multiple versions of the XT925 (international). All of them support the same 2G/3G bands, but differ in their LTE radio hardware:
Canadian version is definitely 700 / 1700 / 2100 (Source)
European version supports at least 800 and 2600 definitely (O2 Germany and SFR France) - possibly 1800 also
Australian version supports at least 1800 on Telstra - may be the same model as the European version?
South American version... no idea?! Same as Euro version perhaps (looks like 2600MHz LTE in Brazil)
Motorola should have given them separate model numbers to make it clearer
Su
Thanks for the info....i love motorola products...always have....but all the cdma,hspa,gsm talk started getting me confused....i know my carrier no longer sells cdma devices....but i was looking to buy this phone from ebay but wasnt sure on the att, verizon or what i needed to look for.....this site has helped me alot over the years with many things and am grateful for all the knowledge the ppl here have

Not exactly true. The XT925 firmware is what determines which radios are active. Having 700/800/1700/1800/2100/2600 all active at the same time would drain the battery like woah. Currently you can merge the radio you need into the rom you want to use, and make it work that way. I just hope whatever next "standard" of wireless data communication is more standard and less all over the f-ing place.
For the Motorola Defy, there was a list of radio settings compiled into a apk that would allow you to switch your baseband... Hopefully an enterprising dev will be able to work similar magic for the Razr HD.

Unlock RAZR HD and used in Israel.

Hello,
I want to purchase Motorola RAZR HD locked to Verizon.

There are countless threads on this. The phone is unlocked, but you probably wont be able to pick up LTE because it doesn't have many LTE signal bands -- the ones that it has are pretty specific to VZW.

But Israel is not at all supported by LTE, it does not exist here (3.5G max here).
Then I can use it in Israel?

You should try to get the Rogers or Fido versions of the XT925 (a lot are listed on eBay). You might also be able to find the European versions. These are all gsm. If I remember correctly, most Israeli cell companies are no longer offering CDMA.

The Verizon version works on both CDMA and GSM and will work globally. The XT925 is the same as the 926 excluding the LTE signal bands which are different.

Would it work on AT&T?

I'm considering buying a Motorola Razr Maxx HD to use on AT&T, actually Claro Colombia, but they use the same bands.
GSMArena, lists the bands as:
2G Network
CDMA 800 / 1900
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
3G Network
CDMA2000 1xEV-DO
HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
So GSM and HSDPA seem to cover the AT&T spectrum.
I assume that the CDMA would just be there without being used, but that it shouldn't bother my GSM/HSDPA use, correct?
Can anybody confirm? Thanks.
EDIT: I just found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2120907, but while most say it should work, in this case in india, there are some that says it does not.
So, anybody has used it on AT&T or similar?

The OG RAZR is similar, but a little different, they had a battery EB30/EB40. The connectors do not match up.

Verizon phones are programmed to work internationally. They just won't work on AT&T and Tmobile.
I think eveyone who answered this thread just read AT&T and forgot about "Claro" but Verizon phones work abroad. There are many threads about it in this forum.
Also look up pdroid he managed to hack the radio to be unlocked.

The information in this thread is wrong.
The phone XT926 (VZW RAZR HD / Maxx HD) will work on ATT/TMobile at 3G speed (HSPA+), but not LTE. There's no way around the LTE thing, the radio isn't tuned to those bands. You can go in and edit the APN information right on the phone, no root required. Just open the dialog and press the (...) button.
Here's the kicker, the phone is locked to international GSM carriers only. However, there is an unlock method here:

Have fun if you need it! FYI if you're using an international sim with a Verizon phone, even within the US, it will work on AT&T and TMobile GSM frequencies. The only Verizon-imposed limitations are using a domestic SIM while within the US.

To clarify, if you are using an international SIM in a Verizon phone while in the US it will not work without the radio hack mentioned previously. International SIMs roam on ATT/TMobile while in the US, so they are also blocked without the hack.

[Q] Capabilities of the RAZR HD (prospective buyer)

Can someone please accelerate my decision making by letting me know if the RAZR HD/MAXX HD can:
1) Be fully unlocked from the carrier (Verizon) for use on any compatible network
2) Can use a SIM card when traveling abroad (to purchase local SIMs)
3) Can be fully rooted
Wikipedia lists the phone as:
CDMA EV-DO rev A; 800, 1900MHz
GSM/GPRS/EDGE 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz
UMTS 850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz
LTE 700 MHz Class 13
HSDPA+ (4G) 21.1 Mbit/s
HSUPA 5.76 Mbit/s
I also see information that it uses a SIM...but I am not sure if there are different versions of the phone for different carriers/countries, or if my Verizon phone will be able to do all this.
Please advise...thanks!

Well, will let you know..
1. Verizon will not carrier unlock the phone for use here in the states,
2. I have seen people use it abroad but you have to set that up with Verizon.
3. It can be fully rooted and unlocked bootloader.
Some of 1 and 2 may be accomplished in other ways but not officially by verizon, at least not without paying

Can I do it myself (relatively painlessly) with available toolsets?
You can simply buy NOT a Droid Razr HD, but a Razr HD.
This one have no Verizon Branding, also have 4G, the model number is XT925.
This version shipping directly from motorola.
And you can root, unlock bootloader for 5 minutes with win/mac.
One more But - you have to check the frequency of Lte in XT925 version.

Bro, as I know you're able to use any version of the razr HD with a foreign sim(in case if it is NOT fully locked) ! You can buy it directly from Verizon. But in USA you will have to use only Verizon. SIM Lock on this device - is only lock on use the phone in US with another carrier (possible to use in US only with Verizon Wireless).

Thanks ANit - this seems to be exactly what I am now seeing based on my research and talks with VZW.
It does appear though that this procedure:

will unlock the device even within the US!
Seriously dude - it's an amazing phone.
It's rock solid by itself, battery life is stellar and camera is good, nowhere near as bad as some would suggest at least.
And as a side note since I cant comment in there yet, I've just installed the AOKP Lunchlies and its perhaps the most stable great custom ROM I've seen in my three or so years on the scene (mainly experienced with the Galaxy Ace, Xperia and now Razr HD). Amazing work guys.
So I have been doing more research and am still concerned about one thing:
While is seems pretty certain that we are saying the phone is unlocked for the GSM bands outside the country...and LTE really is irrelevant because no one else uses the same band...what about CDMA countries like Japan or Israel?
Is the only solution when using this phone in another CDMA country to use Verizon's roaming?

Is the only solution when using this phone in another CDMA country to use Verizon's roaming?

The only recent VZW phone to work on other US carriers is the Bionic. Before that I can only recall the HTC Titan as doing that but maybe the Incredible 2 as well. However, VZW call quality and pricing has become so competitive that being locked to VZW in the US is not a bad thing. As you seem to have figured out, the RHD is sim unlocked for foreign countries so you can use foreign micro sims easily. You would likely not be able to activate the phone on another CDMA carrier but you should be able roam there with VZW service. I have only roamed in Mexico on CDMA. All the other roaming in Indonesia, Taiwan, EU and caribbean I have done was on GSM. The RHD does very well roaming. I have chosen to use VZW services (Vodafone) so I can keep my number. I just buy a 100MB data package for $25 which is plenty for email. Not doing that will cost $20/MB and can run into the thousands of dollars. Call costs aren't significantly different to warrant a sim swap on short trips but I have used international foreign sims and programmed apns.
BTW Qualcomm will be releasing a universal LTE chip that will work on all LTE bands in the world.

Questions about LG G3 AT&T

Hello, everyone!
In my vacation trip, Setember next, I wanna buy a LG G3 in USA.
In Brazil, LG G3 has only 2gb of RAM and 16 gb of internal memory and LG G3 AT&T is cheaper (U$ 570), but I didn't find information about it.
Maybe you know the answers for my questions.
AT&T's model works on 4G LTE in 2600mhz (band 7)?
Has AT&T's model Portuguese-Brazil in language settings?
Which one is the model number of AT&T (F400, D855...)?
Can I use ROM retail of another G3 model?
I really appreciate for your help.

The page is not working here but thanks anyway. With model number you already salve me.
Operators in USA can lock phones? Can I use my SIM T-Mobile in AT&T phones?

LTE 700 / 700 / 1700 / 1900 / 2600
WCDMA 850 / 1700 / 1900
GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900
yes they can, yes you can but you have to either call ATT and request the code to unlock it, which they will give, but it's often a hassle, or you can use an unlocking website like http://www.imei-unlocker.com/en/ which will cost you about $5 USD

Nice, man! Thanks!!!
I asked this becaus here in Brazil, operators can't sell locked phone anymore. I see another sellers in Amazon with "UNLOCKED" and I decided ask before buy wrong stuff.
I really appreciate.
Thanks.
