Enabling your Mobile Network and running ussd code on the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx XT-912 cdma verizon Model

Recently I got a Motorola Droid Razr Maxx XT-912 verizon model form a family member who visited us from the USA. I did some research and found that you didnt really need to formally unlock the phone , as it ran my sim card just fine. The only error I got was the “your SIM card is from an unknown source” error, which didnt really affect the working of the device here in India. It was only later that I realised that ussd codes were not running at all, and the bloat-ware on the phone was absurd. After looking through a lot of forums and some experimenting on my side, I found a way to eliminate all problems related to the network and ussd code on the Droid Razr XT-912.

Now before i give you the steps, I advise you to follow these steps at your discretion, and that I am in no way responsible for any problems that may occur.

Lets begin –

• Make sure your device is rooted. steps for rooting here
• Once you are done, install the root browser app from the PLAY STORE.
• Enter the root browser app and scroll down till you see the SYSTEM folder.
• Enter the SYSTEM folder and click on the build.prop option and select RB text editor, or any other text editor you may have to edit the build.prop folder.
• Now make the following changes
• telephony.lteOnCdmaDevice must be set to 0.
• ro.mot.phonemode.vzwglobalphone must be set to 1
• ro.telephony.gsm-routes-us-smsc must be set to 0
• ro.cdma.home.operator.isnan must be set to 0
• Once you make these changes, Save the build.prop
• Exit the app and reboot.

Hope this helps. Comment if it does or if you have alternatives.
