My home button doesn't seem to work at all after upgrading!
Does it work with a third party launcher? If not boot into stock recovery and try a factory reset

Ok, so here is WHAT NOT TO DO:
1. Wipe cache and do a Froyo factory reset
2. Install the update.zip without having gone through setup in Froyo.
I fixed the home screen button going to Seetings > Privacy and doing a factory reset of the (now gingerbread) rom.

Is it better to wipe from phone settings or from recovery menu?
What are the differences?
I want to wipe phone, because I installed too much crap and some of it can't be uninstalled and some apps I don't use some apps that I've installed because "maybe they come in handy".

I like to wipe from recovery
Wiping from settings will delete all third party apps and data on the phone without any user error in the wiping process. Within recovery you may choose what to wipe but may accidentally wipe something such as your SD card by accident.

Just to be awkward, I'm going to throw a third option at you:
From a Samsung phone, you can dial :
*#*#7780#*#*
To perform full wipe/factory reset.
It is important to note that using this, or selecting reset from the menu is effectively the same thing as using recovery anyway, as all it will do is boot into recovery and wipe the data/cache.
When I had a captivate, anytime I flashed a new rom it wiped my phone. Now it looks like the theme is applied but all my applications, settings, texts, everything stays on the phone.
Also, I just installed the cherrypi rom and I don't have a camera app. Tried reinstalling and still nothing. Does launcher pro mess with roms? Didn't think so but checking...

Happened again, I flashed alien and it changes the build in settings but it doesn't remove anything. Kenn says that it removes bloatware but nothing was removed...

You need to wipe before and after flashing custom ROMs, bro.
If flashing via CWM, wipe data / factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik... before and after.
If flashing via fastboot, do a "moto-fastboot -w", after flashing the rom.
Alright in CWM I select wipe data and wipe dalvik. It still doesn't wipe anything. I thought this was weird so I asked. I may just do it from boot (hold down after power on, select recovery, etc.). Ill try that and see what happens. Its just going to wipe from internal right?

You have to use tenfar's cwm to wipe. If you're using Rom Manager's recovery then the wipe doesn't work.
The best way so far to clean data is start phone in fastboot mode (turn on phone with vol down key pressed, then press vol up) and using command line send fastboot -w, if you need to delete other partition you can use fastboot erase <partition>, then fastboot restart
Thanks, I know what I did now. I updated CWM from the market and reflashed to a different version...it was working fine after I unlocked my BL, and then I thought it just stopped working. Thanks for the help folks!

Just as titled. From pi crust to stock using motor helper. I noticed it did not delete all my apps. I installed go launcher. It failed so I tried again. It said successful but I pressed home and was sent to a black screen :-( should I factory reset? Anything I can do in adb shell? I'm using my backup phone for now and I'm open to suggestions.

Flash a fruitcake or any other rom.... make sure to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition & dalvik cache in CWM before flashing. Also make sure your using ROM Racers latest CWM version. If you have a micro SD card, you can put your flashing .zips on there to flash.

Its no longer rooted or unlocked.. going to pudding route. Pre-rooted and has unlock script. Im going to stick to the stock rom though.
Just hoping maybe there was a script I could have ran to remove the go launcher. I don't understand why its not asking me which launcher to use.
Wow same problem. Took the SD card out and the phone will boot but I get errors about go launcher and I can't go home. Somehow I got the browser to open so I'm trying to download and install a launcher.
I was able to uninstall go launcher and now the phone is working... hmmm I thought a 1.5 MB sbf flash deleted everything!
So I recently flashed ICS 6.14.79 onto my Razr Maxx and was trying to install safestrap so i can play with ROM's and such. I install safestrap.apk, then click the app icon in my drawer adn install recovery. Once I rebooot I get the option on splash screen to tap menu for recovery. I can get into recovery, I can make a backup of my system before switching to safemode and everything works just fine. I can reboot my system at this point and it will boot up fine. I can either wait the 10 seconds or I can hit search and it will boot.
But if I go through the safe menu and enable safeboot or safemode or whatever its called... my phone will NOT boot. it will get to the splash screen, and if i wait it goes to a black screen and goes NO FURTHER. the only way I can get it to boot is to hold the power and volume up and down keys for about 20 seconds ad my screen will flash, then I can hold just the power and it will reboot and I can go back into recovery and un do the safemode and it will boot.
I made sure I am using (or trying to use) 2.0, I have never installed bootstrap, this was a fresh loaded phone, razr utility 1.6 to load .181, then combo ics installer 0.3 to install ics 6.14.79. Rooted with teh ics installer which used the motofail exploit, loaded my apps and tried to flash the BEATS update...
Help please?
When you toggle the safe mode your still in the recovery screen you need to wipe cache dalvik cache wipe data /factory reset and format system then install your new rom and gapps before rebooting otherwise there is nothing to boot up. At least that's how I'm reading your post . So your in non safe you have your backup toggle safe then before rebooting wipe data/ factory reset wipe cache format system then dalvik cache then install rom and gapps if not part of rom most are not.. 4-29-12 gapps Then you can reboot. Some people have problems with charger hooked up try without it. Hopefully this will help.

but Im not trying to load a new ROM, I am wanting to continue using the one I currently have, I just wanted to add Beats to it... so your saying that I have to flash a new rom, and that safemode will NOT allow me to use my current rom....
I think toggling safemode creates a second ROM so you can go back to your first one if you need to. So when safe mode is active it boots into the second ROM. If flashing beats there is no ROM to boot in to.
To flash beats I would think you shouldn't enable safe mode cause you want it flashed to your ROM instead of a non existing one. Understand?
This is purely from my little knowledge of Safestrap. I generally use Bootstrap.

If you don't wanna flash any roms than you could just use bootstrap. If you wanna use bootstrap you must clear off safestrap.
1 reboot into safestrap and disable safestrap reboot
2 open safestrap app and select uninstall
3 go to system settings manage apps and unistall safestrap.
After you've done those steps than you could get bootstrap razr from the market and flash beats audio. I don't know if theres a way to install with safestrap in non-safe mode, it was setup to protect your orginial rom and only flash in safe-mode. maybe someone else could comment further.
I think I have messed up, I just flashed to the Cyanogen 7.2 Rom, it flashed ok and the phone works. But so far I have a few problems, I am not unable to answer calls. When it rings, I need to unlock the phone, manually go into the phone app in order to do so.
I am also missing the notification bar.... I can't see it anywhere.
Another problem is I can no longer access the phone when connected to the computer as it does not have the option to allow me to use as usb mass storage any more. When it is plugged in pc will pick it up but the drive is greyed out.
Please help.

just do a factory reset (in the first menu), than flash again and don't forget to wipe cache partitation and dalvik cache, fix permissions aswell to be sure. If that does not work you can go with the QDL-tool. It almost impossible to completely brick your phone due to software, as only the -w command in fastboot could do that but it would not even boot in that situation...

Which of the first menu are you refering to? I am confused....
I have now entered recovery and just done a factory reset, let see what happens
1) Go into StreakMod and do a factory reset.
2) Go into the main recovery menu and do a factory reset.

I did that by going into recovery then I did a factory reset, after that it will just loop at the boot up screen. I had to take the battery out as it was hung for like 20mins. Now it's bricked and it won't even boot back up....
:crying:
Both should not brick anything. Try to enter the recovery again and do the factory reset (the first one now), and flash again. If it does not work get a fresh install by doing the QDL-tool all the information is on the forum.

in this case you dont need to use qdl tool... just streakmod recovery...
install either dsc 1.0 or longhorn 2.7 and see if it helps... everything should work fine with those two rom...
once it works... install kernel test 3... but be sure to install the correct kernel.... dsc, its own kernel... longhorn, cm7 kernel... and then fastboot 366 baseband for better voice, mic and telco cell reception quality
