So in five days I am going to italy for spring break. And I have no idea what fixes I need for gsm and what roms work for gsm. So with that being said could some one point me toward necessary files for gsm
Thanks in advanced.

So I assume you'll be using an italian SIM? Else couldn't you just roam?
For usage with GSM-SIM outside of USA you need to buy an unlock code (ebay, etc?)
Apart from that, you'll have a big change it'll just work.
If it does not:
1) you have an old SIMcard
2) you need to do some edits (e.g. vodafone)
3) stock rom is giving you trouble (for me sometime 3G wouldn't automatically turn on)
Just make sure your SIM slot is unlocked and you will be good. I don't think you will need the AT&T/T-Mobile hack.

Sweet thanks guys. I don't need any hacks and the sim card is already italy ready. But for ics roms is there a fix that I would need?

How to get the Droid 3 on ics with US Gsm capabilities, i know this was possible on gingerbread, any ideas?
Hi,
The Droid 3 can be used only to Verizon in the USA even if you unlock the phone.
There is a thread for using it in tMobile not sure if it works. GSM will work only outside the USA. Flashing a Radio, recovery.. Etc are not possible in it because it has a locked and encrypted. bootloader... Only option is to use bootstrap..
If I'm wrong, please correct me...

Its possible
Use the Radio and build.prop from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1406812
There are two major ICS ROMs, one of them has better GSM support (can't remember which one)

It hasn't been updated with the ics build.prop
First, install the XT883 radio. Then, you can flash this zip I made to get it working.

are there no nice customized roms for bell like i installed steel droid rom GB version and i have to say its soo sweet im drooling all over myself.
so nothing customizable for bell ?
I have used every rom available on my bell xt860 and have never had that issue. Most roms need to have a patch flashed

These patches are for gb roms. Make sure you use the correct one for either bootstrap or safestrap
Sent from my XT860 using xda premium
The patch should fix it. You need a different build.prop and libmotoril.so IIRC.

your phone is a xt862 or 860?
check your network settings, i presume you want to be ar CDMA-EVDO, NOT GSM, this may be the problem
The other thread was closed due to use of Spanish I think...
I'm now suffering with this issue.. My city always had a good signal but from last days it started...
Happens every 5min ... Any tip?
____
Solved. Rooted (JB, finally!), installed Batakang ROM and *#*#4636#*#* (doesn't work at stock JB).. switched to WCDMA only..
Didn't have any disconnection again!
Re: Restricted access changed
Do you upgrade to JB?
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
Yep but it worked great a few weeks!
is a problem with the quality of the phone network, to me was the same but only in places where the signal was not good, it is a problem of the radio that comes with JB
if we get root.. is it possible to change radio?
Re: Restricted access changed
I think thats a boot loader thing? But if flashing via recovery can then yes.
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
Even with the locked bootloader?
Re: Restricted access changed
That I highly doubt
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
I think this is not network fault..
I think that it happens only when the phone gets hot and the 3G is in use.. It won't happen while I'm at wifi
Thanks Dan to root my phone! It is finally working perfectly now
did I miss something, can you all say if it's the phone or network. Have a dual sim Huawei G500 works fine if both slots uses the same network.But once the other network is introduce, problems!!!
Solution

I installed the mexican retail and the fix radio but I no have good luck, my cellphone drop the signal, try install stock ICS
Sent from my MB526 using xda premium
solved now
Hi, what i did to solve this is installing phone info and with it i can choose the network type. for some reasons when 4g signal isn't good enough it gives that error so i switch to gsm only and i never get that error in my house wich is mainly where it happens.
hope this helps you.

So now you have the free choice to choose your OS did you want stock OS? Do you want GB or ICS Stock? Or you want CM or MIUI there are so many guides here that tell you what you need to do just say what you want.
Besides wouldnt it be nicer to have a OS that not labeled on a Provider?
I would like ics on it

Well ICS stock rom OR CM?
You should Consider changing the Bootloader to the ICS Bootloader some bugs are resolved in this. and most new ROM´s are build for the new one.
So CM, MIUI or Stock based?
Stock

Actually wouldn't I need fido OS on it if I can reuse my code to unlock it again or would it be unlocked still.

I want to install CM10.
My phone is from Verizon USA and now I have it in Mexico with another company, when I bought the phone the guy gave me the unlock code for the phone to be able to use any SIM
My question would be, if I install CM10 my phone will get locked again? And if so, with the same code I can unlock it again?
Thank u
No it unlocks at the hardware level so you are fine.

CM10 Stable?
Thank you NOw what worries me is some people saying there are problems with CM10 and GSM (not recognizing the SIM), but I was wondering, in case that happens, restoring the backup would it be fixed?
Has someone else tried CM10 and knows any bug or problems?
That is just a software bug if it happens to you. Easily fixable by going to a different ROM.
