All right, some of you may have noticed the CPU errors we've been getting at MoGu--growing pains for a growing site! I have recoded the whole site to straight code instead of using the CMS I was using--not because it was a buggy CMS, but because I can't afford my own server, which is what the CMS deserved! Bottom line is you should notice a much quicker site, and no more errors! Thanks--stick around, we're growing like crazy!
I should first point out that there are other options to unlocking
yourself, since this option is a bit more involved and can seriously mess up your phone:
1) You can get the unlock code from your provider for free if they are
prepared to give it to you. If they are then that is the safest and
best option.
2) For $25, you can use TheMotoGuide's unlocking solution which is instant and guaranteed.
That being said, here's directions on how to unlock the phone yourself:
*You need to downgrade your boot loader to 7.D0, be aware that this can
be risky.
* You may find afterwards that when starting in bootloader you have
only a blackscreen, so long as the phone works ok and you can connect
in bootloader that is nothing to worry about
* Ensure your phone is fully charged before starting. I recommend
before beginning you first make a backup of your phone as described in
the back it up section. Especially the
PDS back up. This assumes all necessary drivers are already installed.
1) Start in bootloader mode (hold # and * while powering on)
2) Identify your current bootloader (e.g. 8.26 or 7.E0)
3) If you already have bootloader
7.D0 skip to step 6
6) Download and extract the MOTO UNLOCKER SOFTWARE
7) Start in bootloader mode (hold # and * while powering on). In
bootloader mode after the downgrade it is not unusual for the phone to
show a blank black screen with no info, don't worry, though,
it is still in bootloader mode!
8) Open up Moto Unlocker and connect you phone
9) Run Moto Unlocker click connect
and yes! Once finished it will look like
this:
Congratulations, your Motorola Razr V3 is now unlocked!
btw I cannot take any credit for this - credit is due here to Scotty2, Archy and Quackers for
the bootloader
downgrade.
