Hi,
i have Fido Motorola Razr Droid.
i have installed root and Clockwork on it and works fine,
how can i dientify which fastboot file i have to flash to unlock my bootloader? where is the fast boot version marked? under about?
my plan is to get the retail EU version then upgrade to the european ICS.
can anyone advise what is the procedure to take change my phone firmware from Fido to the Retail EN version then upgrade to ICS?
Thanks
1. there is no unlocked bootloaders for the razr... so you cant flash anything to get it -_-
2. i believe w.e u do the EU version doesnt flash on any of the canadian razr because of the signature checks... for now we wait until a custom arctic comes out
i was impatient and flashed the brazilian retail fasboot flash from the ethernity project , it flashed , when i tried to flash the europe retail it did not,
why brazil it accept while not european one?
So as you are telling me there is no way for u s Canadian to get the Retail european version?
the Brazilian retial Flash Worked on Fido Razr Xt910.
Thanks.
according to what ive tried ya... euro doesnt seem to work... the only one we can use is the brazilian... i just installed Arctic rom over that which helps make the phone a lot more stabler
Here is my Experience,
i installed Asia Rom on my Fido and it worked fine and for my languages and in the about screen it has all Asian Rom Stuff,
the way i did it via Clockwork recovery,
someone on the net put the asian Backup recovery ,
i download it and boot it in CWM and Voila i got it working, without using RSD, now if i brick it i know that i have to use RSD Lite and restore brazilian then do whatever i want.

Yes you can, I rooted my phone with all of the same things as you, I have an unlocked (bootloader & sim), and rooted phone running cm9 so yes i didn't have any problems rooting
im following these instructions:
http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/mo...ocking-bootloader-installing-custom-roms.html
Are the instructions in the site ok?Shld i download "ATT ONLY - Unlocker for 1.8.3 and 4.5.91 ATT firmwares" or "Orange/Bell/Telestra/Latin America/International users ONLY - Download IHOP" ?And can i install clockwork frm rom manager or should i download ROM Racer's CWM Recovery?
I tried as i mention above but it is showing sec_exception: fabe, 35, 35
What should i do?
You should download the At&T one if you are using a phone from AT&T (it worked for me, i live in Ecuador and have an unlocked atrix from AT&T.
As for the Recovery i suggest using Romracer's
And for the sec_exception: fabe, 35, 35 I don't know what to do in a noob and this is my first phone
i got it unlocked..i had to use the at&t sbf.Then did as instructed in the site and got it unlocked and flashed to new firmware and working well
First, i would like to thank those who will help me with my questions.

1-If i root my Razr XT910 to Stock EU region OR US(Currently having Asia), will i still be able to get updates from google or motorola ?
2-If i root my Razr XT910 to Stock EU or US, will i be able to get the OFFICIAL upgrade to ICS ?
3-Will i still be able to use my SIM CARD (T-Mobile) if i change my ROM from Asia to EU ?
4-Have Anyone did this before ?
5-Is there a chance that i will DESTROY my Razr XT910 if i do this ?
Thank you again ! Dont forget to help ! this is my first ANDROID phone !
I decided to get something different thatn the IPhone.....
EDIT: i am currently using 2.3.6 and the system version is 65.1.40.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03

I am pretty sure you can't flash a new rom to change device region - if you try it you will probably brick your device - to get updates all you have to do is RSD back to stock, then download the update - same with ICS.
Okay, I have a couple of questions:
First, in order to flash the Brazil ics, I just need to fastboot to Brazil 2.3.6 with rsd lite, then ota to ics?
Second, when the Rogers ROM comes out, can I just flash that over the Brazil one?
Any help would be excellent, i'm just worried I'll need to send it in for warranty and it be voided due to changing from Rogers fw.

I don't know about going back to the rogers firmware someone smarter than me would have to answer that. To get to the Brazilian firmware you flash the brazil 2.3.6 with rsdlite, then root with motofail, then save the root with OTA rootsaver, then flash the OTA update in recovery. It is very easy to do. That said I wouldn't even worry about warranty the odds of them actually covering anything that needs repair under warranty is minimal and you will be without a phone for a month so unless it is Apple and you can change it over the counter I would say cell phone warranties are useless anyway. I just flashed it yesterday and must say that the LATAM ICS is FAR FAR FAR better than the Rogers 2.3.6 that came with the phone
Thanks to the OP for posting this. My Rogers RAZR on Fido is now running the BR ICS 4.04. So smooth!

To flash back to the Rogers ROM, there is a rogers and fido fastboot files available. Keep in mind when running fastboot you will lose your phone data, including Android ID. Overall it is a bit of a pain to run often. Also keep in mind that you can't fastboot files with an older boot version, Ie you can't flash a gingerbread rom over ICS.

This was my main concern, as we don't have ICS in Canada yet as OTA, let alone a fastboot image. I finally decided to go for the LATAM ICS, and I've got to say, I'm really happy.
I'm hoping that either a fastboot for Canadian ICS will show up (either official, or hacked together like the GB one available), so that I can have an official option available in case i need to send my phone in for service.
As a side note, I've had great luck with warranties here. I highly recommend anyone getting a new phone in Canada to get it at Costco... and BUY THEIR EXTENDED WARRANTY. I just got my RAZR free, because my 2 1/2 year old SE X10 was simply having a few mild reception issues.
Anyway, enough of a plug, I'm loving the LATAM ICS ROM.

As ya saying ya razr system version is from Canada (rogers.en.cn) , most probably ya can't flash Asian version fastboot on it unless ya don't erase ya cid .
Motorola had locked the bootloader to downgrade or flashing different region fastboot .
Ya can even use rogers.cn fastboot files in Pakistan without any issues .
Just look out for the appropriate fastboot files and flash in forum , remember once ya upgrade there is no way to go back yo ics.
Hit the thx button if i helped ya in anyways

the only firmwares that will work on that phones are Rogers and LATAM (Latin America) fastboot files. can't use asian, EU, or american (they're not even GSM).
if you simply want to get rid of Rogers stuff, you can:
1. root, install Titanium Backup, remove the bloatware, change the boot animation.
2. flash LATAM generic firmware. find them in RAZR development forums.
just remember, once you go JB, you can't go back to ICS.

yes, only LATAM as far as i know. u can try different ones, like EU or Asia, but u gotta tweak the file abit (stuff about changing CID or something).
XT910's firmwares: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_spyder/list.php
but again, check out RAZR"s development forum (this is RAZR QA forum) for updated list.
find LATAM Retail and they're mostly ICS (if not all). the JB ones are posted in the sticky in the RAZR Dev forum.
guide: google "RAZR xt910 fastboot". super easy. use RSD Lite.
Root on JB: yes, but through Linux only.
LATAM is LATAM. Rogers is Rogers. Fido is Fido. wth is your question supposed to mean? LOL - if you flash your Rogers phone with LATAM, it will be identical as if you buy that phone in, say, Argentina....
there's no "generic". there is a DEV firmware out there, but its untested for XT910 and not recommended. LATAM retail is as generic as you can get.
also, my Rogers JB now has better battery than Rogers ICS or CM10.1. only D-Trail's D-Wiz ICS can beat it. it just takes a while in JB for the phone to recognize your usage.

Mine is running on 10.3.13.0 PFQEUXM or Europe rom. Im trying to install custom recovery and root it later. I'm in the process of downloading the files like the fastboot rom just incase i have to go back to stock or if something goes wrong. I also prefers to use global rom since im not in the Europe region. My question is if its okay to flash Global version or will it brick the device?

I heard somebody accidentally flashed EU ROM on global version of the device when restoring the device using MiFlash.
While it did not brick the phone, the wifi Mac address get messed up. So I don't recommend you to try this.
It is better to flash the ROM that correspond to your device varient, just in case something goes bad.
Switching between EU/GLOBAL works fine, it doesn't brick anything. When I tried it I had to perform factory reset, otherwise the phone did not boot up. So far no one came with confirmed list of differences, it is being speculated that EU ROM has better privacy protection due to more strict EU laws and that headphones volume is limited to conform the EU laws. But again, there hasn't been provided a single proof for these claims and it seems that they are functionally the same, sharing the same features (and bugs). In the past months, Global version received OTA update few days in advance of EU, but the latest update arrived at the same time. Personally I don't have any problem with the EU ROM.
Thanks guys, i was able to install global rom and twrp + root without any problem. One thing i noticed is that EU is on v10.3.13 and global is 10.3.12,but both of them has the December security patch so no worries.
