You HAVE to flash it over Alien rom using bootstrap. These roms are not meant to be flashed without unlock in the first place, it's pretty random that it even somewhat works with boostrap. What you need to do is SBF back to stock, unlock your bootloader, load up a recovery, flash alien, make a backup, relock your phone, root and install bootstrap, restore alien backup, then flash star wars rom. Make sure you read carefully before flashing roms because you can easily brick your phone missing info like that.

If you get stuck and want to try a factory reset, here are the instructions provided by Motorola:
1) Power off the phone, press and hold volume down button, press power button
2) Screen will come up with "Fastboot", press Vol down key to cycle through choices until you get "Android Recovery", then press Vol up key
3) Wait for the "triangle ! / Android" screen then go on to step 4
4) Press both Vol up and Vol down key simultaneously. A menu will come up
5) Use the Vol Down key to select "wipe partition" by pressing the power button.
6) Once that is done continue to step 7.
7) Tap on Vol down key until "wipe data/factory reset" is highlighted, and tap Power key. Another Confirmation screen will come. Tap on Vol down key until coming to Yes and tap Power key
8) After userdata is cleared, the "reboot system now" option will be highlighted by Default. Tap Power key
9) Phone will reboot to initial setup screen.

do a factory reset like this guy said, or flash a .sbf file (be sure to flash the GINGERBREAD file, any other and you risk hard bricking your device)
My Phone is stuck in a bootloop after installing the artic rom...its still looping and won't turn of.
I installed the thing where after you install a rom you boot into recovery but the rom skipped it even tho i installed the zip after i flashed the rom aswell..
I managed to get into AP Fastboot flash mode but i don't know how to flash my phone back to stock...can someone please help??
You can turn off the phone by pressing simultaneously
power and volume down (-) buttons about 5 secs.
Then yuo can think about what i can to do next ;-)

My phone is in boot loop right now and when I hit power and vol down, my phone with continually vibrate for about 5 seconds and then the screen goes out... but then it just boots up again
You can try push volume down button (and keep it pressed down)
at the same moment that screen goes out, maybe you can reach
AP Fastboot-mode in this way?
Well I can get to the menu for AP Fastboot
But im at work.. i dont have the file or RSDLight here at work.
But I can get to the recovery and it gives me the option for "factory reset" or "apply update from SDcard".
If I have a backup from bootstrap, can I use that file under the "apply update from SDcard" option?
EDIT: No you cant apply from SD (a recovery)
I think that yuo can't use backup from bootstrap via Motorolas recovery...
Maybe only way is install correct OFFICIAL Motorola ROM via AP fastboot.

Here is also good RSD alternative for flashing:

you close but it goes against what he just said. Once ur device powers.of press the volume keys then hold the power button ...it'll put u in recovery. You then need to scroll down twice I think to fast boot and press the up key to select....
You can only go down in this recovery. When you press up it selects. You will then need to follow a.vid on YouTube called how to restore Droid RAZR

My phone started to act up after i went from cm7 to 9, maybe i did not do it right. Today, i went back to cm7 to stop the problems, but i had the same exact problems and it only got worse. I tried to sbf back to i think 2.3.4, and i have done a sbf before and did the samething i did last time. Now, i am stuck in a boot loop. I think the problem is that when i did the sbf it had no details about my phone. Please tell me what i should do.
Did you wipe data? I have never sbf'd but I've read that bootloops are common and wiping data usually fixes it.
From Moonshadow:
17. Whether or not your phone boot loops at this time, I HIGHLY recommend performing a factory reset from the Android Recovery menu. This is also the process of fixing the boot loop.
a. Pull the battery.
b. Plug the battery back in.
c. Power up your phone by pressing and holding the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON and then pressing the POWER BUTTON until you see the words FASTBOOT (in white) at the top of the DX2’s screen. This should only take about 3-5 seconds.
d. Press the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON 7 times, or until you see the words ANDROID RECOVERY.
e. Press the VOLUME UP BUTTON and the screen will add “Entering Android Recovery” under the words ANDROID RECOVERY.
f. In about 5-7 seconds, you should see a white triangle with a yellow exclamation point in the middle and a little android down and to the right of the triangle.
g. Press both volume buttons at once.
h. The Android system recovery utility (second line of text) will come up.
i. Press the VOLUME DOWN BUTTON until “wipe data/factory reset” is highlighted.
j. Press the power button to start the process.
k. Once the wipe data/factory reset process has completed, press the VOLUME UP BUTTON until reboot is highlighted.
99% of the time I have not wiped data and cache after an sbf I boot loop and I am guessing that's the issue just pop into android recovery wipe those two and reboot it will take a few minutes for the first boot as usual but should be good after that

thanks for the help it worked
i now have a new problem. i am trying to root my phone again but oneclick does not detect my phone
Do you have USB debugging turned on?
i feel dumb, i completely forgot to do that.
Hi there,
I'm fairly new to Android and in this week, I managed to root my Galaxy Tab 10.1 (P7500) with ICS - so I'm glad that worked out
Now, I really want to install the "voice call mod" for my stock ICS - original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1875024
But can someone please give me detailed steps, as I have no idea how to "Make the Recommended Backup", How to install the two files and how to wipe the cache.
I do know how to go to Recovery Mode - If I understand correctly, that is when I power off my tab and then power it on, by pressing on the Power button + Volume Down - then press Volume Down and then Volume Up to access Recovery Mode?
Can someone please elaborate on this for me, so that I can also install this without "breaking" or "bricking" my tablet LOL
Thanks so much!
To get into recovery, power your tab off.
Then, hold down the volume down button and the power button until you see the Galaxy Tab splash screen. You can then release the power button, but continue holding down the volume down button.
Eventually, you'll get a screen with two icons - a box on the left with an arrow exiting the top (recovery) and a flashing Android with the word "Downloading" below it. Release the volume down button.
Now, use the volume down button to move the blinking highlight to the left. That's the recovery icon. Once it's blinking, press the volume up button to select it. Volume down will move the selection back and forth.
after success entering recovery mode there an option to do backup..
then do ur backup from this option..
after that u can proceed flasing what ever u need..
I know what to do, but How?

Hi, Thanks for the update. I know how to do this part, but when I enter recovery mode, all I see is:
1 Reboot
2 Install from External Storage
3 Wipe data/Factory Settings
4 Wipe Cache Partition
etc etc
Where do I go to do the Backup and where do I then go to install those two files of the " voice call mod"? And then, how do I wipe the cache?
Can you please explain these parts to me - The page for the voice call mod gives the instructions as to what to do, but I want to know "how" to do it.
Thanks so much

So if I understand correctly, I should then use an APP to make the backup - like Titanium Backup - so the backup is not done in Recovery Mode?
Then after that, I go to recovery mode and install the "modem" files and wipe the cache?
So, how do I then install the files and wipe the cache...Can you please give exact steps as to what to do and how for each of these steps.
Thanks
Rom manager app can do backup your current ROM.

I just can't get it to work. All guides or videos I saw say you have to:
1. power off
2. hold volume down + power
3. let go when logo appears
4. press volume down + power again and hold
This doesn't work. It does nothing but to enable some weird "safe mode" which breaks everything when the phone boots.
Hold vol down and power, release power while continuing to hold vol down then hold power again while still holding vol down.

Erm... this brings up a menu asking me to restore to factory (delete all user data)? yes. no. and when I press no, it just boots normally again. How to enter recovery to wipe just the cache partition?
First thing I totally find funny is, that everywhere people say "hold down volume down and power and then let both go and press both again" which is obviously wrong. You have to just let power go, like you said.
Then this menu actually should appear, right : https://i.imgur.com/YDVhaLk.png
But it just shows this: https://i.imgur.com/G0E6xGO.png
Yes it does, but if you have TWRP properly instalked hitting yes twice will boot into TWRP.
