Hi everyone,
I have an XT860 from Bell Canada. I would like to mod it. Can someone tell me if it's a Droid 3 or Droid 2?
Also, what are the latest versions of Android available for these devices? The one installed now is 2.3.6 and I would very much like to jump to a Jelly Bean.
I appreciate some input before I waste too much trying to mod this.
Thanks
Droid 3. You're in the right section. Each ROM has an 860 patch but the problem is that the development on JellyBean has kind of stalled since the camera isn't working.

MrObvious, thanks a lot for the feedback.
1- What is an "860" patch?
2- What is the latest stable version of Android for my device? Not looking for Jelly Bean if camera doesn't work.
3- Where can I find instructions and latest ROMs for my device? ***I don't want to mess up the radio frequencies as it's a Canadian phone***
Thanks again.
Basically it just patches a few files and the build.prop so that it works with the 860 as all our ROMs are built for the 862 which is the Verizon CDMA version. Just flash a ROM and look for a patch. Minimoto is a good one because it has stability and Endroid made a patch that works.

Thanks again. So, where is the official mod thread? From what you said, I first mod it and then apply the Minimoto patch for 860. Did I get that right or is there a ROM specific to 860 that I should do?
The phone is unlocked and rooted but I don't think I have the framework to install ROMs so I probably need to read the official modding thread.
Thanks

For minimoto I'm moving the actual rom. If you look through the posts in the minimoto thread you'll find the link to the 860 version. I'd link you but I'm on my phone and it's a pita

I will go with Minimoto first and then try other MODs. There are many threads on Minimoto. I wonder why there is no sticky "Droid 3 ROMs & Instructions"
So far I learned that I have to install (somehow) SafeStrap and then MiniMoto ROM. Am I getting that correct? Is there a comprehensive guide to this specific to XT860?
Thanks
Sounds like you're getting it. Then look through the Minimoto thread to find the 860 patch.

Thanks. Is this the official Minimoto ROM thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1978304
It mentions it's for XT862 but mine is XT860 and a Canadian version (Bell Canada). Would I be safe to use that?

1- I have got Minimoto installed but Android version is 2.3.4 and that is lower than the 2.3.6 that came as stock. Is there anyway to upgrade that?
2- Would overclocking make a major different? Where is the official guide for overclocking for XT860?
Thanks

Thanks. I have installed Minimoto and here are some of the problems I am facing if there are any work-arounds for them?
1- I have been only seeing 3G and Edge for internet connection. On stock I can see H+ as well.
2- From time to time the phone doesn't have any internet connection and it has to be restarted to get internet connection - that is a big annoyance.
Any feedback?
Thanks again.

1)these are just cosmetic, you can have it show the h+ through build.prop edits
2)try adding the line ro.ril.hep=0 to the build.prop, it should help, and try just toggling airplane mode to reset the connection, easier than rebooting

This is already there:
#improve signal stability maybe
ro.ril.hep=0
Would I be in better situation if I can an LTE sim card even though the phone doesn't support LTE but network does so maybe signal would be better?

Guide - Unlock XT862 for T-mobile/ATT,
I followed this guide, and it seems to have disabled my cdma radio.
Is that right? or could it have been something else.

Correct. You would have to flash back. They may be other steps to restoring cdma functionality, and probably restore the original build.prop

Thanks, I guess I will have to flash back.
The thing is, I need my droid on cricket, and on weekends I travel to mexico, and use a mexican telcel sim chip. Works fine, but when I cross back to the usa with the telcel sim chip, I can't roam with the telcel chip onto ATT network. I need to sometimes to receive calls and texts.
If anyone knows where I can find the verizon stock build.prop, to go back to stock, please let me know. thanks!
As the title suggests. How can i remove it. I always have it every boot i make. I cant activate since im from outside US. So theres no way i can activate this Sprint HTC One im using.

Uninstall DMCommandService.apk, EPST.apk, Fieldtrial.apk, HtcOMADM_SettingsPlugin_SPCS.apk , HtcOMADM_SPCS.apk , HTCSprintservice.apk
Modify the line in system/costumize/AAC/default.xml sku_id 42 to 10.

After installing cyanogenmod right after unlocking I get no sim message. Others are running cm no problem with their Verizon moto x. So idk what's wrong. Tried both the latest nightlies 8/16 8/19 same issue. It's no work. Came from mofo 5.1 so 5.0 BL
Any ideas?
The nightlies have issues, which is why they're nightlies, for me the wifi for the nightlies doesn't work. I had to install the Snapshot first, and do a data wipe.

the problem is CDMA vs GSM, you can definitely install CDMA roms over a GSM, but you cannot install GSM over CDMA. I have a XT1097 on Nextel/AT&T Mexico

Yes I did install CM over the mofo 5.1. I tried flashing the 5.1 modem from mikeoswego's thread and that didn't work. I tried flashing a modem that was shared through the 5.1 CM 12.1 official thread and that didn't work as well. I tried updating TWRP to see if that would do anything but it didn't change anything. The result is still the same. I tried backing up the EFS in TWRP and then restoring that EFS backup when I had CM installed and that didn't work either. I've done a lot of googling and have come up with nothing else
did you try the apn thing i just suggested cause i heard you have to manually add the verizon apn

Oh yeah, my moto x has a sim card too but I'm pretty sure the phone still uses cdma from what i see in network carrier settings. I got the phone from verizon so i think all verizon moto x 2014 have 4g lte sim cards.
CDMA is default, but when CDMA does not work I think it falls back to GSM right?

No, Verizon does not use GSM at all (aside from whatever similarities there are between their LTE data and other vendors GSM type services.) When using voice, it will either be CDMA or VoLTE (on a capable device.)
This is a legacy issue due to their past acquisitions of so many old time analog networks that were then upgraded to CDMA back when that was the latest and greatest.

Because their voice traffic (except in VoLTE areas on enabled phones) is on CDMA while their LTE data traffic is a gsm variant. They've basically tacked the LTE data network onto their existing CDMA network. So, yes there is a sim for the LTE data part of their service but that doesn't change that they are still primarily CDMA for voice.
Okay so bootloader unlocked , twrp installed and everything , tried Nexus experience rom installed with no problems but no 4g lte signal ? Anyone else having this issue? If so what Roms have data working?

Yes, if you flash a GSM rom such as the xt1095, it will work for GSM companies. But you will lose CDMA which means it won't work with verizon's service.

I'll second this, latest CM nightly has full CDMA LTE support. Been 3 or so hours haven't seen any major bugs, or anything that would be considered experience breaking.
Only thing your really lose is Moto Voice, as ambient display works basically the same as Active Display albeit without the slower co-processor.
i think the chop for flash light and twist for camera works better then moto tbh and no real bugs yet either but havent played with it much
I'd love a stock rooted 6.0 rom. I'm stock rooted on 5.1 right now and everything is working great. Anyone have an update on CM now that it's been a couple days? Has anyone attempted to add Xposed to 5.1?
I'm not that experienced with this but I have an xt1096 and unlocked the boot loader and flashed twrp on it then did a clean install of cyanpop 5.0(runs android 6.0.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3277786) it runs nicely in my opinion other than a couple bugs that need squashing
