Hi,
The Droid 3 can be used only to Verizon in the USA even if you unlock the phone.
There is a thread for using it in tMobile not sure if it works. GSM will work only outside the USA. Flashing a Radio, recovery.. Etc are not possible in it because it has a locked and encrypted. bootloader... Only option is to use bootstrap..

If I'm wrong, please correct me...

Its possible

Use the Radio and build.prop from this thread

There are two major ICS ROMs, one of them has better GSM support (can't remember which one)

It hasn't been updated with the ics build.prop

First, install the XT883 radio. Then, you can flash this zip I made to get it working.
