I need to send my Razr back to Vzw.
I'm rooted with Clockwork recovery installed (phone boots to cwm on every reboot)
What is the fastest and easiest way to roll this thing back to shipped specs? I don't need to back anything up.

I would use RSD lite it returns u back to as stock as u can get. Make sure u have the correct files for flashing and get 80%+ charge.

long story short ......with the new beats audio news out i flashed that and got stuck at the M logo on boot.
I pulled the battery plugged in and booted but still the same, stuck at M logo. Why is my bootstrap not working? i used it earlier today.
I also tried getting into the stock android recovery but then it just gets stuck at the android guy next to the triangle with the ! in the middle.
How do i get back into bootstrap so i can flash my nandroid backup! Thanks guys!
p.s. i have tried it numerous times hoping it would eventually work but nothing.

Did you flash the zrecovery before you rebooted?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426062
Might save you next time
Also if you wiped data your bootstrap will be gone.
not sure what zrecovery is?
i have the bootstrap recovery installed and have been using that for months without a hitch, just after i flashed the beats audio zip this morning (in bootstrap), i can't get it to even boot. im stuck at the M logo. and if i pull the battery and plug in, it won't even start up to bootstrap. I just want to flash my nandroid backup
i didn't wipe data, just flashed the zip. chose reboot in Bootstrap like normal and bam, stuck at M logo.....any way to force back into bootstrap? I was literally just in bootstrap 1 hr ago so i know its there....just not loading
Not that I aware of besides doing a sbf rooting again and installing bootstrap and then you can restore your nano back up.
Be sure to pull the battery for 30 sec put back and then plug in to get cwr to boot. Or Then try to access stock recov pwr on & rocker down to wipe data.
Thanks for the help!
As far as I know, the only way to get into bootstrap is through the bootstrap app itself. Which you need to be able to get into your phone to do. I do think you can get into it by rebooting while plugged in but maybe this doesnt work if you did something to mess up the startup. As was mentioned already, your only choice most likely is to SBF, root and install bootstrap again and then restore your backup.
I beg to differ. As long as charge mode was never put back to normal which is also a mistake.

if u have BSR installed and u haven't wiped data or flashed any new ROM, u can just power down/battery pull and u will boot into BSR, it hijacks charge only mode

sending out an SBF, my God there are great tutorials here in General and Android Dev sections... Cwr is not part of DX2 BSR is, but you wiped and lost that. To enter stock Android Recovery you just hit power button volume down...but that won't help you now...so just SBF and root then restore your backed up material through Titanium backup.... Install BSR and NANDroid back...you did make NANDroid backups I assume, if not I suggest starting to. Good luck

Thats what I thought. But the OP cant get that to work from what I get. Is that method still supposed to work if you cant even boot the phone?
As long as you do not wipe data BSR should be installed. If you pull battery and put it back in before you even try to boot plug it in to wall charger. This will take you straight to BSR before you ever try to boot. Then you can get back to your nano back up.
"I also tried getting into the stock android recovery but then it just gets stuck at the android guy next to the triangle with the ! in the middle."
@ the triangle Push the middle of the rocker to get to stock recovery. (both up and down at same time)

Good advice skoodwiva. Is is safe to use stock recovery? If so why do we have a special one?

Stock recovery wont allow you to flash stuff to the phone or backup your ROM or stuff like that. Thats why we have a special one to do those things.
Stock is good for flashing an ota (no need to rename just make it start w/ a number so it will be first in a mess of zips at the root of your external sd)
And wiping data.

I'm not sure...been a while since I got to M logo stuck without wiping data or doing something that trashes BSR which would make it not work...

I was wondering the same thing.
Hi,
im on jokers cm9 and my wifi and bt have broke which is causing constant reboots. i am sending my phone off today back to moto and I am wondering what I need to do first.
What pudding should I flash on it to send back to them and what should I do about the 'unlocked' you see at startup?

thanks
Restore it using Motorola software update utility and report back.

If u flash the stock 2.3.4 sbf it'll take u back to stock and remove the unlocked logo. (Yes this is safe. Long as u don't flash anything older than that)

Does samsung kies still have a chance of bricking your vibrant? I just used odin to flash back to stock and now I want to go to 2.1> 2.2>2.3>4.0.
I wouldn't risk it........
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1464423
I got into cm7, and then i wiped data, cache, and tried to flash ics passion. After that, i kept getting boot looped and didnt have recovery so i had to use odin. Now im back at 2.1...what did i do wrong?
Get back to that point and when it bootloops, pull the battery, boot into recovery again and reflash ICS over itself.
From my guide
Once you are in recovery, scroll down to your folder and find the ICSv? (or whatever version you are wanting to flash) and flash it. First boot takes a long time just like before on CM7. Might also get into a bootloop like in CM7 too. If so, then do the same as before and reflash ICSv?, but this time you'll have to use the Volume-Down + Power (or if on Froyo Bootloaders the above key combo) to get into recovery. Boot up and you are good to go in you new ICS rom.

When you say that you didn't have recovery. Was that a custom recovery or you just saw the stock again? There should be no reason why you would not have recovery of some sort.
Agreed, pop your battery and return to cwm and flash, the kernel has updated, it should go now, listen to uncle wood.
and never use kies for anything!!!!!
Never kies
Go straight to 4.0. No need for in order. 2.1 is easiest to flash from anyways.
I've probably flashed hundreds of times now, test roms/kernel Worst case have to heimdall.
One time (n00b days) used Kies mini and it hard bricked me. Had to get jtagged riffbox.....

u will hard brick ur phone if u use kies ....from 2.1 go directly to cm7 from there use whichever u want .....
Yep .KIES can HB your mobile. I also updated via KIES from 2.1 --> 2.2 (OMG I didnt knew then.. Thanx goes to Woodrube for pointing that out.)
If you need to go to 2.2 there are always better way to than using KIES. this is a great thread which Now im using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674519
tc
edit: No need to update to 2.2 brfore going to ICS. Its always better to flash back to stock before flashing ICS.
Never use kies, period. There are plenty of other options out there. Just in case you guys don't know about the EU bug, you should definitely read this if your planning to run ICS.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580902. I'm currently running a 2.2 ROM until this bug is figured out.

Hi i'm abit of a noob at installing custom ROMS, I used a CM10.2 nightly ROM and now my phone wont load past the first flash screen "Dual Core Technology". It loads that screen for aprox. 5 seconds then dies.
I also have the added problem of my phone not booting into recovery so I cant install a stock ROM.
Someone HELP MEEE!!
UPDATE! I can now access boot mode menu and all subsequent menus, including android system recovery. but still cant get onto CWM. and can not reboot my razr, loads motorola logo for 10 seconds then dies.
RSD lite back to stock, and use safestrap or bmm instead of cwm. Preserves your stock rom slot. Also, you are always able to flash to stock which is 4.1.2. You avoid the problem of not being able to downgrade. You'll be flashing through AP Fastboot mode.
If you absolutely have to use cwm because you need all of the internal memory available, don't use nightly releases. Use stable/milestone/release candidate versions.
The good news is you have access to your boot menu, so your phone is still in good shape. Make sure the battery is fully charged before flashing with RSD.
