Motorola Droid 4.4.4 update locks cdma ruim support, Do Not update.

Recommended Posts

If you update your Droid Mini, Ultra and Droid Maxx to android 4.4.4, you will not be getting any signal in cdma ruim cards. I have tested on Reliance Modded Sim ,Tata Docomo Cdma, while in Mts networks comes only in some sim cards but unstable.

Settings have been changed so it will not support Indian Cdma Ruim.

Friends please find solutions for the same and keep the forum updated.

It was know after they had used the same trusted zone loophole that allowed boot unlock for RAZR m and RAZR HD. Don't update for ota updates as this will relock boot loader

^^^^

AFAIK, boot loader is changed but is not getting relocked. Also heard that The update doesn't allow to downgrade even to unlocked boot loader phone too. But not sure.

Please try one more step in your mobile. Insert gsm and check for signals then try again the cdma sim without inserting verizon sim. Do u get signals in Cdma just by replacing from gsm to cdma or need to make it roaming mode again.

Congrats u got a gem in hand.. Your activated verizon sim.

I don't think Verizon Sim has to be activated.

Similar issue has occurred in a iPhone 5s CDMA .

I just used to insert the Verizon sim till it showed roaming signals. After that everything would go normal.

In Iphone 5s/5c activated verizon sim is needed for roaming signal. And if u insert gsm u need to insert vzw activated sim card again for cdma usage .

So, what is the current situation about 4.4.4 on the 2012 and 2013 Droid Series phones?

Which phones and which networks are not working/working out of the box/ working after using some workaround like the one that mohitjain has mentioned?

It will help if we restrict to just the two Droid series phones.

I can consolidate a list and send to Motorola.

I have no idea about CDMA ruim working in latest droid phone after 4.4.4 update.

But wrt GSM, there is no single issue at all. After the update the phone network mode changes to global and all we have to do is change it back to LTE/GSM/UMTS only.

No need for Verizon Sim or factory reset or even restarting after the update. It's confirmed to be working on my wife's droid mini phone, non rooted, locked boot loader, on Airtel network.

Will try in my (rooted, unlocked boot loader) droid maxx, once I reach my home. As I am not in mood to unroot and enable ota during travel.

Solution is just insert activated verizon sim once then its back to normal . you can change from cdma to gsm and back to cdma anytime with data on both cdma & gsm networks.

Update:: You need to insert vzw sim after every reboot if u need cdma ruim support, for gsm it will work normally.

See what I meant earlier is that it doesn't have to be activated.

Basically that would mean a Verizon Sim with a contract and active plan.

Where as a Sim which is not activated still finds network like any other new Sim. Works for such case.

Did this and was able to get it working on Reliance CDMA? Should i repeat this procedure for every reboot or hard reset, coz i lost signals after doing them?

GSM works perfectly fine after update Android 4.4.4 without any need for Verizon SIM.
