Cm10.1 requiere ics kernel maybe thats why tour device doesnt boot, what aboit your safe system? If you are using safestrap tour main system should be untouched and be able to boot ...

Well, I have watched the noob video at registration but still I hope you will help me... :cyclops:
So I have Israeli XT910 on its final version which is 2.3.6. (is it GB?)
Anyway it sucks and i wish to upgrade it to ICS or JB or even put a customized ROM on it...
Is it possible? Will I need to root my device? Will my apps and data be lost? And how can I do it?
Thanks in advance.

You have a lot of tutorials about upgrading to official (moto stuff) roms or about installing custom roms, when i bought my razr it came with gingerbread, one of the first things i do was upgrading to ICS and then i start using custom roms with safestrap, but that dependens on what you want/need from the phone. Also you have to check if your phone is CDMA or GSM, before installing a rom or at least ask if that have a patch.
here you have a post with a los of links and a tons of info. Hope that helps

Just go for the European version ROM.
I used them in my wife's RAZR. We are also from Israel.
Follow the steps for the new European retail roms and every will be great.

I will try that but now I have another problem... I accidentally flashed ICS without having enough space on my phone and now it is stuck on boot logo and then turns off, and I need to know if there is a way of formatting it without turning it on?
Sorry for bad English too...
The European retail jellybean formats your whole phone, so you can flash it and have your phone back on normal.

You can flash official JB with RSD Lite via computer/laptop.
About KK,root the phone,install custom recovery like Safestrap or BootMenuManager and happy flashing.

Thanks again for the fast reply.
I've rooted the phone and installed CWM on it.
Flashed KK rom and the phone just crashed.
I needed to recover it using RSD Lite.
Then I tried to compare the process to my Motorola Photon's process, and realized that the Razr's bootloader is locked. So how will any custom recovery manage to install a different kernel rom on the device (without unlocking the bootloader) ?
Thank you very much. :good:

Don't use any other recovery except SS and BMM.
I can't explain proffesional but they allow custom roms to boot with the custom (kexec) kernel.
Most people around here are using SS,I prefer BMM but the support for it is discontinued,don't worry,just use one of them.
And read a little before you start anything

Hello all,
I need your help to unbrick my Droid Razr xt910, Initially I flashed my phone with "SPDREM_U_01.6.7.2-180_SPU-19-TA-11.6_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRICSRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml" which is EU ICS and applied the JB OTA "Blur_Version.672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU" and everything was good atleast for an year, Since my bootloader is locked, I installed Safestrap 3.x and created additional ROM slot to try Cyanogenmod 11 and it worked perfectly as well. The problem started when i wanted to try CM 12, since it required Safestrap 3.75, i wanted to upgrade it, but my bad, unfortunately I installed it on the ROM slot and my phone crashed and cannot boot the phone normally or into Recovery mode, everything is screwed and i have been struggling for days to unbrick my phone, but no luck so far, Could some one please point me the right approach to unbrick my phone?
When i tried to flash the boot image from the Stock ICS package i have, i get the below error.
D:\temp\Android\Europe ICS\extract> eprj-mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (8192 KB)... OKAY [ 1.020s]
writing 'boot'... INFOPreflash validation failure
FAILED (remote: )
Please help me on this.
Common Guys, Please help me..
You can't flash ICS anymore because you upgraded to JB.
Download JB Sbf file for your region and flash it with RSD Lite.
Here is everything that you need

Thanks a lot for your reply, appreciate it.
Would you please tell me the exact name of the sbf file i need to use in this situation? My phone was the PSH Asia Retail version running ICS earlier and I followed an xda thread to install the European version of ICS and applied JB OTA , I already messed up enough and dont want to do any further mistake. Also, while i was searching, the name name doesn't exactly mean anything to me. Please help!!
Thanks
