I ordered a non-unlocked Motorola Droid 4 from Ebay. I have it now in Thailand and would like to use but cant seem to find anywhere online to give me an unlock code.
Also I think I have to upgrade from Android 2.3.5 to Android ICS to get the GSM features. OR if I install the Android ICS will I automatically be able to use the phone without unlocking it?
2 weeks into having it and just using it as a paper weight for now.

Just update it to ICS. I have never been prompted for an unlock code. You might get the message saying your SIM is from an unknown source, but we have a solution for that in another thread.

Hello ! I have no idea if this will make it to you, I realize it's a very old thread. However I have been given a locked Droid 4 XT894 and I would like to unlock/root it. Just curious if you succeeded in unlocking yours ?
Thanks !

i unlocked my boot loader and used this method and im able to use titanium backup and superuser apps hope this helps
http://androidcommunity.com/htc-amaze-4g-gets-permanent-one-click-root-20111020/
Yes just picked mine up today. Would love to know how to root this device also.
With this phone being released on AT&T on November 6th there will most certainly be a tremendous increase in the desire for root and dev involvement. It won't be long before this phone has it's own forum and a whole lot of XDA love. I'm one of the many that has been waiting for this phone to come out since it was leaked back in May and I can hardly wait to get my hands on one!
Adding support to this thread. Would love to get root for my Raider! Will also help out this process in anyway I can.

Does the raider/vivid have the ability to do HDMI out?
it has a mhl port which is physically identical to a micro usb, it does do hdmi out but you need an adapter
google mhl to hdmi and it will all come up
Do we know if the boot loader is locked or unlocked?
Add your vote here to get an HTC Holiday/Raider/Vivid forum added.
Anyone try the regular rooting methods

I'm not able to post links, but if you google htc bootloader and go to htcdev.com it will all be there, I believe that's what he's referring to.

Yes that's what I'm refering too, my bootloader is unlocked but we need a custom recovery to get full root.

Doesn't matter, just get the fastboot code and it will generate a working unlock code.

Not that I know of, this will probably speed up now that its available in the u.s.
But I'm more than willing to dump any partions a developerwould need.

Unfortunately att has a policy for unlocking their phones. If you give them a call they can give you the details. Other than that though you're gonna have to pay.
Sent from my LG-P925 using Tapatalk
Att should unlock it, since they are not the exclusive carrier, that's what I was told when I called about the Pantech crossover, its exclusive and can't be until December.

You can also unlock your phone by rooting and flashing the cwm recovery

This, and carrier unlocking are two different things. Carrier unlocking requires a code.

Yea while the Thrill may have a couple Identical Twin sister phones out there, ATT is going to say they have exclusive rights the P925 Thrill 4G all day.

Not exactly when you install CWM you can do a G-Free and a Radio OFF to unlock the radio baseband so whenever you flash a rom some of them run this commands

What's your current bootloader version?
The easiest way to put in a new bootloader is just to grab the .902 FXZ. It will make sure that you're on a new one.

I know but but it can be updated right? I have "awakened" the gsm in the phone and I am using an AT&T prepaid when I can't get a signal with Verizon. I read in the forum that to do this while on an ICS rom you need to update the bootloader to A.72 to get it to work. That is why I'm asking.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA
I'm sorry but I guess I never heard of updating the bootloader.
Are you talking about baseband or kernel? If not, I guess I can't help.
Latest bootloader would be with the .902 update.

Me neither. All you really can do with the bionic is install the latest update. Not really sure if it changes the boot loader. I was under the impression that it updated the radios and glitches in the os. Never heard of it changing the boot loader.

Weird, you should have to have anything to do with the official bootloader, you should be using ClockworkMod. Still I could be wrong.

What? You somehow activated gsm part of Qualcomm 6600?
Also, with 902 FXZ update I have 0A.61 bootloader.

I think you're in the wrong forum.
After the ICS update leak, does the bionic support GSM networks?
I highly doubt it. Typically, if a device has the capacity for using a type of cell network, it comes with that capability enabled.
Take a look at this thread, there's a hack to get it to work, but part of it must be done before installing the ics leak.

Thanks for the link to the superthread, it's a little long and I'm not sure how current the information is. Which pieces need to be done before going to ICS? Is everything compatible with gingerbread .905?
Also, I thought applying the ICS update would overwrite the radio code...
Thanks a lot

I haven't read it too thoroughly as I'm not doing it, but it was just within the last few days where someone posted something about the ICS update issue. My suggestion is to start at the end and work your way back.

Hi Dani.
Yes it does. Mine was operating very well before I bricked it. Go to "Droid on TMobile" and you will learn how to do it.
Good Luck

Yes there is a guide in the thread on how to do it

Hello,
I gave my girlfriend my phone running Slim Bean 4.1.2 ROM on my captivate for her trip throughout Europe. I assumed it was unlocked and would work with any GSM carrier in Europe if she bought a SIM card and popped it in. Well, I was wrong and it didn't work and now I'm in a pickle. Can someone please give me an easy solution to unlock the phone!!!!!!! She has to be able to figure it out with me explaining it to her. I was thinking a zip file she could flash in CWM, but anything easy would be most definitely great.
Sincerely, SP
GalaxSim Unlock app by Spocky from the Play Store. The ability to do the unlock isn't free but should do the job on the Rom she has on her phone now.
The other unlock app by helroz, u would have to flash back to Stock first then unlock...i think.

Thank you sir. This is exactly what I'm looking for. She's asleep atm, but when she wakes up she'll give it a go.
This may sound stupid. Can you get the unlock code from ATT? After 1 year they are supposed to provide this 4 free?

I bought my phone used on eBay some years ago. First, I used o2 wireless then Straight Talk. Not sure how to go about it. Her phone still doesn't work. I should mention she's has a Vodaphone and an Alditalk sim card.
