2- RSD lite
This is official software from Motorola to flash Fastboot files to the device, so you have to install the software on your pc or laptop,
After flashing a costum rom, you can revert to stock with this software, also when you are in a
bootloop you can go back to stock Rom with this software:

- download fastboot file you need from here or here
- extract it in a folder, you have a XML file here
- run RSD lite
- browse XML file to the empty box
- connect the phone to the pc via usb cable in AP Fastboot mode
- click start button on RSD & be patient to flash the files

Some Tips of Razr:
- when the phone is freezed or you are in a bootloop, you can force the device to power down, just push & hold Vol - and Vol+ and
power buttons at the same time for 10 seconds, the phone will be shut down
- for going to boot menu, first turn off the phone, then push & hold Vol buttons and power button at the same time
for about 10seconds, then you will enter to boot menu, now use Vol - button to scroll and Vol + to select an option.
- for going to Stock Recovery, you have to select "recovery" in boot menu, then you'll see a black screen with Android triangle in the middle, now you have to push Vol - + buttons at the same time to enter to recovery

Question about reverting to stock to return to Verizon.
I never had to return my Incredible do noob on UNroot.
Do I simply unroot and that 'Covers'my tracks? Or should I revert back to 2.3.5/173?
My earpiece crackles so I need a replacement

I have xt910 & i dont know about versions of verizon, if you are on 2.3.5 now so you can revert simply with rsd lite & no need to unroot,
But if your current android version is 2.3.6 you have to take a look at this thread:

You may want to add after flashing a stock rom in RSD, if you are stuck at the moto logo, to reboot into recovery and do a system wipe again to fix.
I got stuck with the Android triangle! I think I read somewhere to tap all 4 corners then hit home. That didn't work but I got the power button and that did the trick. Went straight to stick recovery and I rebooted the phone. We'll return today and get another although it pisses me off because I bought a new phone last week and afaik the replacements are refurbs

Which fastboot file can I use for a Verizon Razr?

This is the last full SBF official for the Droid 2 Global. This will put you back to the last stock OTA without having to do any other updates later. Flash with RSD Lite.
As with any such file posted on a forum site, use at your own risk, but I know that is the official VZW SBF file
Step 1: Boot into the bootloader, you do this by powering on and holding power on + volume up + volume down. You should see a black screen with text that says battery: OK
Step 2: Plug is your usb cord into the computer you loaded the rsdlite file on
Step 3: Click on your rsdlite program. You need to run as an administrator, to do that hold shift key and right click on the rsdlite program (do that as you are about to open the program).
Step 4: Next to the file name text box in the rsdlite program are three little dots. Click on those dots and find the file Click on that file and then click start. Make sure you have a strong battery before flashing this is the one time you need to ensure your battery is ok to get through the process, because the program erases everything and re-flashes your phone.
Step 5: Wait for it to get to 100% and reboot your phone to the motorola "M" symbol first then unplug your device. While at the M take off the battery cover out and remove your battery. Wait for about 3 seconds and then reinstall your battery. Power on and hold the physical X key until you get to the triangle and !.
Step 6: on your physical keyboard push the search button to get into the recovery mode. From there you are going to wipe data/factory reset. AFter that is complete click reboot.
Thanks to our friend toto221 for this file.

Thanks yo u saved my Droid today i've flashed the CM9 ICS alpha1 and i ened up with my droid dead...
Don't know if anyone else has this problem (I think my friend's phone is possessed), but I have to push volume up+down simultaneously instead of pressing the search key on the hardware keyboard to bring up the recovery menu.
I hope this saves someone else many hours of searching and angry table hitting.
(Yes, I am sure that the phone is a D2G.)

Hello,
I recently acquired a D2G. It was running the OTA stock Gingerbread and was rooted when given to me.
I was foolish and deleted the My Accounts app as I thought it was a Verizon My Account only app.
I did not back up the system apps with Titanium...again foolish move.
Had some issues and used the factory reset. However, that obviously cannot restore system apps I deleted.
Is there any pre- steps needed to push this to the phone? Or can I simply run it in via RDSLite and then start from scratch?
Thanks

zipped SBF MD5 is the same as what you get 77185076B8EF7C962534B6223AD4BA1E
actual extracted SBF has MD5: 2152EE89E314F5B282753EE56FA36C07
If you get that MD5 on the zip, you are ok.
I am sure you know you need to extract the SBF from the zip file before you can flash it with RSDLite.
Never mind. I didn't see the last post. Thanks sd_shadow and leobg for the assistance.
boot loop
So I've tried two different sbf files for my D2G including the one listed in the OP of this thread but my D2G is still boot looping Am I SOL? I've pulled the battery and tried a few other things but I thought that sbf files were the ultimate fix for boot loops not the cause of them.

Hey guys can anyone help me update my phone to 6.12.173? Every time I attempt to update it fails for some reason. I asked for help on the "Solution for failed OTA update (due to removed apps)" thread but I don't think I can get much help there since I never removed any bloatware. Anyways I did attempt to follow the steps mentioned in that thread, however I got a "status 7" error. Here is a picture of my last log:

Were you rooted at one time? You say its not because of bloat removed.Instead of worrying about the update for now did you try and go back to stock? Dont know much but like you would just have to search for more. Regardless you could still try and flash back and if you still have problems will be more involved.

2)copy titanium backup folder to your pc (just in case)
3)boot phone in flashboot mode. (hold vol + and - with power button when turning it on, press down to select fastboot, press up to enter)
4)use RSD lite to install fastboot files for your phone. (make sure battery is fully charged because it takes a long time to flash and it is draining your battery while flashing)
5)let phone reboot and skip setup, go to settings->privacy->reset phone.
6)now try OTA.
7)root and restore with titanium backup.

As for my my phone, I got it off of ebay so I'm not sure what region it came from but I think it was from the US. If there is a way to double check that would be great, but I if not them I'm just going to use the US fastboot files.

Sorry about my incapacity to understand this, I am a total noob about all this RSD stuff.

Jelly Bean Anyone???
That's right, in case you didn't know, a Jelly Bean OTA was "accidentally" pushed out to lots of people on Christmas Eve. Maybe you grabbed it, maybe you didn't. Well for those of you that didn't, I have quite the surprise for you today!!!
Here it is, the "accidental" Jelly Bean OTA!!!!!
Let's go through the steps to get this on your phone. Now keep in mind, just to test out these instructions, I've done this myself since I am back on the RAZR now!
CAUTION!!!!! AFTER INSTALLING THIS UPDATE, IT IS COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE TO GO BACK TO ICS!!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
Note: I am absolutely NOT responsible for anything that happens to your phone during this process.
Prerequisites:
1. Download the Jelly Bean update file and place it on the root of your external sdcard (root of sdcard means DO NOT put it in any folders, just put it on the main part of the external sdcard.) http://d-h.st/8l1
2. Download and install Winrar (free version) http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
3. Download Mattlgroff's RAZR Utility v1.82 http://batakang.com/ftp/DROID_RAZR/DroidRazrUtility1.82.zip
4. Download and install Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper from the Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m9yZy5wcm9qZWN0dm9vZG9vLm90YXJvb3RrZWVwZXIiXQ
Update your SU Binary before backing up your root!
Install Instructions:
1. Find the zip file for the RAZR utility you just downloaded and right click on it. Select "Extract Files..." then click OK.
2. Connect your phone to your PC with a USB Cable in FASTBOOT MODE.
3. Go to the extracted folder from the Utility and double click the DroidRAZRUtility.bat file.
4. Select option 1 to fastboot back to complete stock .211 (Note: If you're just on stock rooted .211 with NO RECOVERY, skip this step. If the update fails, fastboot back to .211)
5. After fastbooting back (it will take a while) Reopen the DroidRAZRUtility.bat file.
6. Stay connected to your PC, with your phone ON normally, change the USB connection to MTP Mode, now go to Settings > Developer Options, and turn on USB Debugging.
7. Use the DroidRAZRUtility.bat file again, this time select Option 2 which will root your .211 build.
7a. Open the app drawer on your phone, navigate to SuperUser, open the app, and update your su binaries.
8. Open the app drawer on your phone and navigate to the Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper App and open the app.
9. Once the app is open, allow it Superuser Permission, then select "Protect Root."

ROOT ACHIEVED FOR JELLY BEAN!!!!!!!!!!

I know that there are other threads like this one, but I honestly thought mine was a little easier to understand and a little more in laymen terms. If any Mods want this removed, please feel free to do so!
seems very simple (affecting other partitions? I mean the other ROMs installed?)
thanks
Doesn't matter, people don't really use search function.
It maybe possible to get root back by temp downgrade to ICS kernel.
I'll only reveal it when JB for umts_spyder is official.
Requirement :
- CID partition backup. So backup now before you lose root.
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1p18 of=/sdcard/cid.img
#It just 512kb (2kb compressed)

Opps. It maybe doesn't work for XT912. I take back my word.
But it never hurt to have a CID backup.

I have read alot about this new JB leak. And as i understand it is for xt912 (USA). Will this work for xt910 (Nordic)? Or maybe it will flash but will not give me signal.

Thank you! Added to the OP!
won't boot..
Hey guys, I ran into an issue while doing this for my brother. Once I installed the stock ICS via the tool in the OP, the phone will only boot to the motorola screen and then the phone goes completely black and will not boot. I can still get into fastboot, but if I try to reach recovery I get the droid with the red exclamation mark (so it seems the phone now has no recovery on it). I have tried redoing the process, but I'm getting the same result once the flash is complete.
Any advice on what I should do? Was using a fully charged CDMA RAZR fyi..
I appreciate any help on this and I'll be the first to admit that I almost always run into problems with Motorola phones. Is there another method or toolkit to simply get back to a bootable phone and try my luck again?
Thanks!
Does this work on a gsm xt910?? I am using stock rom but have a safestrap within so any help on what i can do!?!?
Sent from my XT910 using xda app-developers app
Nevermind.. I used RSD to flash the ICS stock. I suppose I can now go through the rest of the process in the OP?
Seems to be working fine now, so I'll continue the rest of the steps to get root and flash JB tonight. Please let me know if I'm missing anything and thanks again for any advice / suggestions.

When you see the little Android with the exclamation point, as stated in step 14:

Look for the process to install this in a thread made by whirleyes, this is for CDMA ONLY.

Lost root
Hi guys,
So I successfully updated to JB using the method in this thread, but now it appears that I've lost root, even though I used VooDoo and everything. Has anyone else run into this?

this has been going on for a week now, I upgraded my phone to the OTA 4.1.2 Jelly bean updated, I used OTA Root Keeper to keep my root access, and Im beyond lost, I dont know what to do now, I open my camera app after rebooting my phone and its working its showing everything moving but as soon as i hit the button to take a picture it crashes, I have formatted my phone twice, I have a backup saved on my safestrap but its pre jelly-bean, I never did one after i did the jelly bean update and im scared to do it because Im sure that would boot loop my phone
Do you need root? If not you can always Rsd lite using fast boot file to stock and start fresh

I would try replacing the apk for your camera app, as it may be corrupt,or just use a different camera app. Stock isn't too great anyways.

Try a third party camera app and see if it works.
If it was just s/w problem, should have worked after fastboot.

So, i had my phone off for awhile, and on my bed, i was using my sim to try to network unlock an old tablet. tablet wont unlock, so i go to put the SIM back in and reboot the phone, after 5 min i notice i am stuck in a bootloop. so ive tried using ADB to boot into recovery, and i cant....and ive tried getting into recovery via hardware....no possible way???? so basically i have a phone, that when put into fastboot, wont connect to ADB, and that means wont boot into recovery....totally stuck in a loop, been half an hour now. can anyone help me??? ive tried using a mac to use ADB (no drivers) but still no success. PLEASEE. ADB wont connect (and I had the same issue right after root. ADB worked one time, the one time i needed to flash TWRP, and then flash Debranded, Debloated, Deodexed H901-10c ROM for T-Mobile LG V10 (LG-H901) - Clean & Stable by @siraltus, which it is an amazing ROM, and i dont think this had anything to do with this. but please i really need to get my only phone working. if this is in the wrong section please wait till i get an answer to flag it...
All you have to do is make sure the phone is off with the battery in, then hold the volume down button and insert the micro usb cable to your computer, it'll boot up fastboot.

Have you tried erasing your partitions and flashing stock again?
EDIT: using fastboot erase system / fastboot flash system system.img / etc

From power off. Press and hold both power and volume down... When you see the LG logo release and repress the power button, DON'T RELEASE THE VOLUME DOWN KEY. It should bring up a factory reset many select yes... Then yes again...

So, the power vol down actually brings you into recovery instead of a factory reboot. Didn't know that. After I got into recovery, I did a back up. a system wipe did nothing. So I reflashed the v10 stock non root and reflashed the @siraltus ROM over top. then restored data. Its like it never happened. Thanks again guys!!! Issue resolved

Power+Vol Down always takes you into recovery. On stock recovery, it automatically triggers a factory reset, but with TWRP, it just boots it.
Glad to hear you got your problem resolved. Nice work guys.
