Did you check the developer sections? Many posts on how to things. Also might be a little different if you gsm or cdma. Some say boot stap but I use safe strap.

From safe strap. Install what Rom says such as wipe data,cache,dalvik then install Rom from sd card.
Basically tells you how but if you have specific questions ask.

thanks, but I didn't see anything about fixing a soft bricked phone....
the main reason I want to know this now is because I would like to flash more/different roms, and I know some don't play well with safestrap (which is what I have). So, if I have to remove safestrap, go back to stock, install and use bootstrap, there is a chance I could brick it. Would be nice to already have all this figured out so I won't have to go w/out my phone for a few days =D.
Right now its rooted w/ the razrx ROM on 748 (i believe).

It's really simple. I read that you manage to get into fastboot mode so the rest is even easier. Make sure you have downloaded the correct fastboot files for your phone, then:
1) Download Fastboot file.zip
2) Unzip to a folder.
3) Run RSD Lite
4) Make sure battery is fully charged and it is connected to your pc.
5) Under model, port bla bla, status, it should say connected if not you need to install moto drivers from my previous post.
6) Click the button beside file name which says "..." then choose the xml file from the folder you unzipped earlier.
7) Press Start and pray hard.

I think If i change the name of video, "How to upgrade/downgrade motorola razr xt910" to "how to fix soft brick, upgrade,downgrade motorola razr xt910" then you will see.
I think you dont know about unbricking ur device currently so, that's why you didn't see that in my channel.

I read a ton of threads and that is why I'm just going to make a post because I know I must be doing something wrong, but I keep reading and reading following steps and yet I can't see what I am doing wrong. I am very noob so I am so sorry for that.
I've soft bricked 3 times now so here goes.
I'm trying to install a cust rom, like cherrblur.
I first flashed to 1.5.2 because I read that I should not use 1.8.x. OK done.
I use superoneclick and root the phone (done) and then enabled side loading (done)
So far no issues!
I then need to unlock my bootloader which I do by reading the brief mobile instructions (//briefmobile.com/how-to-unlock-the-atrix-4g-bootloader)
I place the cus rom such as cherrblur onto my sd card.
I then install cwm recovery and install recovery, plug into charger recovery mode. I click down to install zip from sd card, it does and goes on to install with no issues it says down, I click back and then reboot.
THen boom, bootloop, bootloop, bootloop.... I then flash back to 1.5.2 and write this...
Any help would be greatly appreciated or even a link to a thread I might have missed? I really read a ton of stuff so I might be doing something wrong by mixing something up.
Thanks!

Sorry to say this, but you are extremely mixed up!
1.5.2 is old. Extremely old. You are also using Tenfar's old CWM, the bootstrapped one. SuperOneClick root method was also deprecated. We now have semi-ROM Manager support, as well as a full-blown CWM from Tenfar.
I suggest you follow these videos: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179506 or this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167373

As A Noob here im a small bit confused.
Was going to follow this link Complete Noobs Guide but some of the links in that guide dont work anymore.
So then I came across this Video and seems too easy to do
Is the video the same thing as the noobs guide?
If it is, and I follow the video, what Rom is the best one to use.
Just looking for a stable rom, good looking and saves battery.
Thank you, great website.
Rom is your choice, yes it's so simple it takes literally a couple of mins, it took me longer to dl the files needed than to root
Personally i use the rom in my sig - Neo is the dogs bollocks
Thanks for the help.
Think I have everything sorted, last thing is do I need an SD card for this.
Dont think I do but just want to make sure before start.
Nope you can just use internal memory...
As far as I know you don't need an SD card. I rooted mine last night and was really surprised how easy it is. Literally a 5 minute process (including flashing the sensation ROM). After reading up on here I used this thread and this page which has an easy to follow, summarised guide below the video.
It was a lot easier than I expected but to be far the last device I rooted was a HTC and so didn't know what to expect without it being locked.
If you run into any problems just search for the solution as so many people have rooted I'm pretty sure everything will have been covered.
Make sure you have a insecure kernel>use SuperOneClick to root>flash CWM>put ROM on sd>boot in CWM recovery>wipe data & cache & dalvik cache> install from sd>ROM of choice>do it twice just to be safe! You're done. If you need any additional help browse/search xda forums. If you need any additional help let me know!
Ok successfully rooted and placed a kernel on the phone.
Before I put on a new ROM, I wanted to get rid of the yellow triangle.
I found this page but all the files are on mega upload which is currently down at the minute.
Any ideas how I can get a stock kernels to remove the yellow triangle?
I just seen he has updated all the links. Great news.
Just read on the last comments and im now confused.
Does the link in the previous comment fix the yellow triangle?
yellow triangle indicate that you have not a stock kernel on your phone,
normally flash a stock one and the triangle will go away,
I have not searching deep to get rid of the triangle with any kernel but ways seems to be possible.. posts on dev forum answer this
a usb jig is fine and the simple one I think, but you have to make or buy it..
try the V3RTR3MA 4.6 from the android development forum here
its one of the best roms i've ever flashed
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Why are you even bothered by it? U only see it on boot up
Because its very easy to get rid of.
All I need is a original Kernel.
I downloaded one and the image file is a MD5 file?
Is that correct?

You dont have CWM recovery (stock recovery wont flash custom rom zips), go do some more reading before you flash a rom so you understand what you are getting into, FAQ's here.

okay so i was rooted before the ICS OTA and used voodoo but that failed.... it says i have a protected backup and when i try to restore it, it says successful but it is not, and the little box saying if i have root access never becomes checked. so is there a way to fix voodoo and retrieve my root that way? if not, how can i root my razr maxx? ive heard about matt's tool 1.6 or something but i CAN NOT find it! the site it is on blocks it from non-members but when i tried to become a member, it wouldn't accept my login creds. so i tried again and again with different emails and it just wouldnt work so its safe to say im pissed and tired of that site. please advise? or link me?
and on another note- what is the best way to install a custom rom with the razr? i did it with my old D2G but i want a refresher. and also any suggestions on good roms for it? 99% stable please haha
thank you!!!!!!!!
If you're already on ota ics, and rootkeeper apps aren't restoring root, then I would try a fresh root method.
As far as Matt's utility, you'll be able to find that at droidrzr.com. There are different versions, so I would suggest reading up on which ones do what to see which one suits your needs. I used version 1.7 to pre-ota my maxx, but haven't rooted because I haven't felt the need to. One of them (or maybe all) can be used to root ics.
As far as what rom to choose, all I can say is try a few out and see which one works best for you. There are a couple good ones, but with devs being so limited on what they can put together, nothing will be absolutely perfect. I would recommend safestrap recovery because it works in a way I haven't seen other custom recoveries work before and it seems pretty solid to me. Used it on my last maxx, this being my third because of my job now ruins my phones (welding).
Hope this helps.
EDIT:
Can anyone post any links for alternative download for Matt's utils. I just went to the site and like this fellow said above, its not letting me in either, though I've logged in there plenty of times before.....
Strange. :-\
EDIT2:
And safestrap is an app you can download from play that will install the custom recovery for you after you have achieved root. ;-)

thanks for the info! im familiar with how the utilities work, i used an older one to root my razr before the ICS OTA, i just cant find the dang thing! haha
and okay safestrap. ive heard good things about it before, so thank you again. my main concern is that ive heard that many roms run on the x910 but not the x912, which is what i have, so i dont want to brick my phone. is there a stable cm9 for the razr? or could anyone just give me some names to work with? i dont mind searching, i just trust you guys the most haha

An option is to use Bootmenu (by Whirleyes) to setup a second system (webtop). To use it you need to be on ICS and more info can be found on this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720351
The benefits of it is that you dont affect your mainsystem, so you can always go back if a rom gives you some troubles.

Also she is coming from froyo..
You can root it in froyo but the question is what do you want to do. If you are going to flash a custom ROM then you need to go back to stock (eclair). Either way, short fuse super one click is best way to get root. Google how to root vibrant with super one click, you should find files and directions. The update zip you referred to is directions to get CWM recovery.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using xda premium
You can download the Superuser.zip and/or the CWR zip from my signature.
If you are just going to root it and leave Eclair on there, then pull the Superuser zip from my signature.
If you are going to flash a custom ROM on there, then pull the CWR zip from my signature (but make sure you have already downloaded a ROM.zip to flash with this).
For Root. Put Supersuser.zip in your Internal_SD card and make sure it is named Update.zip and the only thing on there named that. Boot into recovery using the key combo (Volume +/- and Power, when you see Vibrant come up, release the Power button but keep ahold of the Vol+/-) It will boot into "stock" recovery. Scroll down to Reinstall Packages and hit it. Might have to hit it twice, then reboot. You should have Root.
For CWR/Custom ROM. Same as above only no need for the Root.zip. Find a ROM that you want to flash (make sure to read OPs) and download it and put it on a folder where you know it will be in the phone. Just put the CWR on your Internal_SD and again make sure it is named Update.zip. Boot into recovery, scroll down to Reinstall Packages, hit it. It will cycle through and the stock (blue) recovery will turn to CWR (green) and you can then scroll down to Install From SD card and find the ROM that you downloaded beforehand.
Some things. Booting into recovery isn't easy and can take you a few times to get it. Also you can root using Z4 app, but you'll have to find that on your own.

Yep. Just got a new AT&T Atrix 4G online for a pretty reasonable price. I immediately rooted it and installed ROM Manager so I could install a better ROM instead of the stock Froyo it came with. Hadn't done an mod on an Atrix in a while, so naturally I spaced off UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER before starting. I'm such a knucklehead.
So yep... an hour after getting the phone I'm stuck with the good ol' phone frozen in "Failed to boot 2" thing (yes, I've tried pushing VolUp and also dropping out the battery and restarting).
IIRC, I might be able to fix it if I can flash a stock 2.2.2 SBF with RSDLite, but the problem is that I can't seem to find a Froyo SBF anywhere. All the links I find seem to be dead. Ideas on where to find one? Something else I can do to bring this thing back from the dead?
Any and all help appreciated.

Why Froyo? If you are going to flash an sbf might as well go GB.
All links in the post above are dead (thank SOPA and the FBI).

Can I do that? I was under the impression I needed to flash the same ROM I started with in order to fix the bootloader thing. No? If I can just flash GB, then awesome! :good:
My bad. I spaced out on the unlocking the bootloader part. Yes, Froyo183 would be best. It's in the link I provided.

OK. Thx. I can see the site from my browser, but I can't FTP in at the moment with FileZilla, so I'll give it a shot later. I'm assuming I want the 183-deodex SBF...
Really sorry dude...spaced out again...you are on Froyo 222 (sorry, it's late!). You want the file that starts with [ATT_2.2.2]. You can also access via web browser. No need to FTP.

OK. No worries... It's late here, too! :laugh:
The problem has been resolved. Thanks, upndwn4par!
Glad I could could help!
Just to be clear. Does the sbf "[ATT_2.2.2]OLYFR_U4_1.8.3_SIGNED_OLPSATTSPE_P013_HWolympus_1g_Service1FF.sbf.7z" on Sam's site have pudding? (btw, is there an md5?)
Sorry for the n00bish question. I couldn't find the "these files have pudding" sign. XD
If this file isn't pudding, would you mind pointing out the one that is?
I know that rsd is NOT (very much so) recommended but I'm comfortable using it under the proper conditions.
I also saw this thread but I'll leave my query to the above for now.
Thanks much!
