After all day of googling and researching....
I have concluded that it is not possible for CMDA Verizon Droid.
Can someone please help me?
(or just confirm my conclusion?)
This all started when I tried to flash CM7 for the Droid (CDMA)
I updated the ROM to the most recent ICS leak and inserted my SIM card. When in either GSM or Global mode, the phone will respond with "This SIM card is from an unknown source." Is there any way to fix this? I'm on AT&T in the US.

This phone will not work on US GSM frequencies, only abroad.

I thought it was compatible with US GSM frequencies since its a quad-band radio. This website refers to the Radiocomm hack to use AT&T (see Android Community's article "Motorola Droid 4, Razr, and Bionic modded for AT&T and T-Mobile") and the resource on Droid-Forums implies that the Radiocomm hack isn't even necessary after upgrading to ICS ("Finally! GSM Droid 4 Works!"). Is there something I'm missing?
edit: I can't post links, so woops! You'll have to search for those things instead I guess.

I know what you talk about.
GSM is unlocked in ICS for abroad GSM carriers, but it's not working for US GSM. For US GSM you still need to go and use radiocomm patch.

I used Radiocomm to check my NV value and it matches what the patch would be setting. I'm still not able to use my AT&T SIM. Has anyone encountered this before?

Verizon is obviously blocking access to US GSM networks. This has been reported previously on the ICS leaks. You are out of luck for now unless someone figures out how to patch this.
But I got the same message with my australian sim...
I rooted, installed safestrap and then CM9 with the setting "telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice" set to "0" in the build.prop. After that I had much better GSM-reception and the message didn't show up anymore.
In build.prop there is the following string: ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc. Could that be the limiting factor? Maybe try change to 0?
That only affects sending of SMSs. If you're not in the US, and not using Verizon's SIM, yes you should set it to 0.

I haven't had any luck from modifying the build.prop file. Running logcat -b radio shows me that CDMA stuff is going on when I'm in CDMA mode (whodathunkit) and GSM is happening when I'm in GSM mode. Is there a guide on how to interface with the radio directly (or, well, through linux or adb) so that I can figure out what the radio is picking up? It might not be seeing the AT&T signal at all. If only I could see what AT+COPS=? returns.
Could someone post their build.prop for the latest leak? Mine was accidentally saved while deleting some line. I don't want to reboot the device for fear of some kind of mishap. If you like outside the US and have your GSM edits included, that would be greatly appreciated

Hi mate. Find"build prop editor" in play store, install and run the app and search for the string you want to change. Rest is easy.

I got the MSL.
However I cannot flash to PagePlus using CDMA Workshop.
(I was able to flash my HTC ONE V and EVO Design.)
Can anyone help ? Thanks.
you'll get more help here.
MOD EDIT
Hi,
I flashed my droid 3 with the current CM10.1 ROM and it's working... Except for the SIM card.
It's plain not recognizing the sim. No calls, no SMS, no data.
I couldn't find anywhere how to fix nor even how to debug it.
I'm pretty new to android flashing but have extensive experience as Linux sysadmin (15+ years), so any hint about how to debug it would be very welcomed.
Any hints?
( Ahh, I'm in Brazil, using GSM)
Thanks in advance,
Leon
Hi,
Try to find the library libmoto_ril.so from the stock rom at /system/lib, and replace it. You should get signal, but until now, I'm not aware of anyone that made 3g work on JB Roms with GSM networks.
Also replace the line:
ro.telephony.default_network=3
On the default build.prop it is 7 (for CDMA).
Hope this helps.

Hey, I am having the same problem on my droid 3 cm 10.1 installation. I live in Australia and my droid 3 is a Verizon one. I did what you said and then it doesnt boot but stays stuck on the loading screen. I even tried Hashcode's GSM patch and still remains stuck. Any Ideas.

CDMA network is not working
Hi guys,
I recently purchased unlocked Motorola Droid 3 Verizon. But on this phone CDMA sim does not work, GSM working correctly. I need solution....
hello everyone. im using att htc one that is rooted using viperone 2.6.0. the rom is great!!. im using t-mobile us but my problem is that i only get edge data. is it possible to get 4g ?? another stupid question. is it possible to load t-mobile software on it??. i really want to be able to get 4g on my phone. please help guys. i thank you all in advance.
You don't need to run tmo "software" on it. All GSM ones basically can run the same roms/software as far as custom roms go.
Have you checked your apn in settings? My guess is the current T-Mobile lte apn isn't selected or added.
