first off, thank you @sd_shadow for your guide on how to root my 5 year old droid 3 as well as the domestic sim unlock procedures.
my question is in regards to upgrading to ice cream sandwich after doing this sim unlock. i noticed in your guide that i had to be in stock gingerbread to add the usa gsm bands to my phone. will upgrading to a cyagen mod ice cream sandwich rom wipe that out? i am using a freedompop sim and it requires ice cream sandwich or higher to run the phone dialer or text messaging app. it would also be handy to run other apps while using the phone on gsm.
basically not quite sure if changing roms modifies that part of the file structure that i needed to modify to be able to use gsm bands.

the band unlock, has two parts;
unlocked radio.img and modified build.prop
Installing a custom rom doesn't effect the radio.img
and custom rom's build.prop should be gsm ready

i tried installing the cyagenmod 10.1 according to this guide...
trueandroid.com/en/update-motorola-droid-3-to-android-4-2-2-jelly-bean-via-cm10-1-how-to
and i can't get the network to connect to the freedompop sim... i did the same thing as the stock rom here...
support.freedompop.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2670/~/activating-your-phone-gsm-sim-card
any ideas?
the freedompop apn settings still work in stock rom. can't get apnb set in cyagenmod 10. i want android 4.0+ functionality on my old phone. the freedompop voice and text and manage account apps require android 4.0+
any reason why i can't get the gsm sim detected in the aftermarket rom?
Bump
Still nothing?

Hi, a friend brought his USC Galaxy Tab over... I rooted and downloaded Rom Manager but it only has options for Verizon/ATT and T-Mobile. Would it hurt to flash Verizon recovery and ROMS? Thanks

I have the exact same question. I have the US Cellular version at work, and the old gingerbread sucks. I have AOKP ICS on my Droid X and it's so hard to use the old stock gingerbread on the tablet now. I see they have CM9 ports and AOKP ports for the Verizon and Sprint models. I only use the wifi, and if it was my personal tablet I would just try it!
All cdma roms for vzw/sprint work.

[Q] XT883 radio image/fastboot for [SELFKANG ICS/CM9 ROM Alpha #5] GSM AT&T/T-Mobile?
So i was Wondering if its Possible to Flash the XT883 radio image to HashCode's ICS/CM9 Rom Alpha #5 and do a build.prop tweek or so.. so we can have use of AT&T and T-Mobile just like you can do on the Stock Moto XT862 rom or The 2.0 Liberty Rom
My Droid 3 is Unlock and I am using Simple Mobile witch is on T-Mobile's Network
it Has Work Fine with Liberty 2.0 and stock Moto Rom i Have try the flashing method on ICS/CM9 but for some reason it wont give me the option to switch to GSM/UMTS on Network settings I have also try going to *#*#4636#*#* and switching is to GSM Only and Nothing Seems to happen, to me it seems like its not Flashing the Radio but not sure... Has any one try doing this?
When you flash a rom its only flashing /system. Your radio.img should stay intact. However cm9 afaik still has issues with gsm, regardless of which radio.img you have

I'm going to be waiting till I get back on Verizon before I try this ROM. Hopefully by then it will be in Beta as well
Same results here. I been trying to get an ICS rom to run with the XT883 radio since I use Straight Talk (Wally's AT$T). But to no avail thus far. If anyone has managed to get them both to work, simultaneously I mean, help me into the "know". Thanks All........
Has anyone had any luck with the New ICS/CM9 Alpha #6?
For CM9, and Verizon Stock ROM to work with GSM:
Replace radio of XT883 into XT862 ROM using Fastboot. Install Safestrap if you want to flash CM9.
After flash the ROM in Safestrap (Don't ask me how to safestrap, Google it), replace the /system/lib/libmoto_ril.so & /system/etc/ppp/peers/pppd-ril.option with xt883's, edit /system/build.prop, changes:
ro.mot.eri=1 >>> ro.mot.eri=0
ro.cdma.nbpcd=1 >>> ro.cdma.nbpcd=0
ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc = 1 >>> ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc = 0
ro.cdma.home.operator.isnan=1 >>> ro.cdma.home.operator.isnan=0
find ro.kernel.android.ril=yes, and append these 2 lines below that：
persist.ril.rssi.enable.param6 = 1
persist.ril.baudrate=230400
reboot，then in dialler input *#*#4636#*#*，select Phone Information -> GSM Only (PRL) & same in Wireless & Networks.
Remember most custom ROM are Rooted. For Stock ROM Google for Moto_Fail or Droid 4 exploit and use them.
Thank you so much will try it when I get home I have been waiting for this!!!

One quick question where can i find the /system/lib/libmoto_ril.so & /system/etc/ppp/peers/pppd-ril files do i grab them from a xt883 OTA/Rom? or what? I am trying to do this it with ICS/CM9, Not stock Rom.
after changing the build.prop settings. i cant enter my sim code anymore.
also when entering the *#*#4363#*#* i cant select GSM auto (PRL), stays on Unknown.

Are you really willing to stay on stock velocity? If not, id recommand you Dark Raider rom
Sent from my HTC Raider 4G LTE running ICS.
Agree with Ideal, I have my Velocity on Dark Raider ROM and it is solid. Only problems were Tethering stopped working, got it working as per the many posts about that, and Weather widget kept force closing. This only required cleaning out the Cache from the Weather provider and we're all good now.
Otherwise, you might want to go to this thread that has gone live a couple hours ago.
Good luck Aussie mate!

I had same problem with Telstra Velocity on Dark Raider ROM, not sure why this occurs. I tried both Kozmik RC1 and Beta 7 without luck. I know that other Velocity users use Kozmik kernels and DR rom OK. Anyhow, I re-flashed the ROM with Holics kernel and the wi-fi worked.
The only other problems I had are listed above, otherwise we're sweeeeet

Go in fastboot (assuming you know how and you have correct drivers and stuff) and enter the command "fastboot gervar cid" and post me the output.
That way I will be able to forward you to the correct RUU to run.

i like custom Rom but when i use custom rom, only my wifi get problem
i test with various kernel but ... not worked
tested
Roms : Stock HK ICS Sense 3.6 - deodexed rooted zipaligned
velocity2_nightly5
HOlICS_0.6Beta_en-beats
kernel : kizmik RC1 , stock kernel
I had the same issue when i would reboot my phone it would revert back to the previous kernel and i would loose wifi ( no one has been able to tell me why ) maybe go into phone options and see if the same thing is happening with you? The way i fixed it was to run the ruu and then a custom rom but after that the next time you fastboot a kernel you will have the same problem? ( 2 different phones using different roms and kernel set ups had the same issue ) it would be awesome if someone knew the reason because its a pain in the ass having to run the ruu with every update!
First things first: I DID NOT MAKE THIS!
YOU MUST HAVE ICS ON YOUR PHONE.
YOU MUST HAVE THE WKPARK BOOTLOADER INSTALLED.
If you dont, it will brick your phone. Will boot up to LG Logo then shut itself off forever, then you must use the LGFlashTool to restore your phone.
Im putting the link here so people on these forums can use this as well.
Ice Cream Sandwich for LG Thrill 4G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1960150
CM9 has been released, with its share of bugs. Its for the SU760, but requires additional steps to get working on P925s.
Warning: Takes time, patience, and maybe even luck.
1) Download ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1998332
2) Install TWRP/CWM Recovery (Must be rooted)
3) Install wkpark's unsigned bootloader: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1978543 (Do steps 1-16, only choose one recovery, TWRP OR CWM) (v1.18a seems to not work for me, I used v1.17b)
4) Boot into recovery
5) Follow instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34543740&postcount=45
You might need this file, it was missing from my omap4boot folder. Put into files\
hows it working so far might flash on my fiance's thrill

Why don't you try it yourself? Is CM9 critical for you?
I installed XBSA port of ICS 5.2 with 3D support (camera bug is fixed - you get extra 3D camera app with ROM). Installed samno kernel and have 4 working hardware keys. Have CWM recovery. Installed v20c baseband so I have 3G in WCDMA 850 and WCDMA 1900. etc, etc...
I'm very happy! It's like brand new phone. Yes, the whole process is kind of wonky, but it's worth it!!!
I'm here to help, if someone needs it. There are TONS of info in Optimus 3D development section. Our phones are EXACTLY the same, just different basebands.
Try and you will never regret!!!

I'm new to the Thrill and not sure what direction I want to go. I really want ICS, so you're saying ANY rom in the O3D dev section will work with the Thrill? Also, I am on T-Mobile, do I need to flash a different radio or anything?
has anyone found a fix for this rom not seeing internal sd card it sees the external sd card just fine from what i have researched the file system paths for the internal and external sd cards are backwards
right now im just back on 26a stock no root or anything
i cant seem to get 4g lte anymore
here is what i had on in last 24-48hrs
xdabbeb 2.2
xdabbeb 2.3
xdabbed 2.5
gloudy g2
beanstalk 5.02
unofficial cm12 5.02 feb20
one of these roms knocked out my lte i believe
when i put my vzw unactivated sim in i always get 4g lte and the same for 2 other straighttalk sim cards
i just got my pageplus "cdma sim card in mail" also no 4g lte on it
knock on of course not working cause i had an AOSP rom and its easily fixable by rooting and update touch firmware
where my LTE?
when i was in the AOSP roms my GSM sim cards were having hard time getting identified
i used the phoneutils app by doing the *#*#4636#*#* and setting to gsm/wcdma/lte or w/e
anyhow i flashed back to stock why no LTE?
will be working on knock-on and eagerly await
OMG!!!! Im having this issue.....help me upgraded to cm12 on my lgg2 from cm11 and am now in same situation....help!
