I came from the Galaxy S forums where all these ROMs and updates were given to you on a silver platter instructions and all
I'm using a GSM Canadian Droid RAZR purchased from Fido, running on the Virgin Mobile network. (Yeah, its complicated.)
System Version:
651.167.3331.XT910.Fido.en.CA
Android Version
2.3.6
I've been waiting all this time for the Verizon update, but only realized a week ago that Verizon is CDMA, and theres no chance I'll get it on my Fido branded RAZR.
What do I need to do? I downloaded the LATAM 2.3.6 GB as well as the 4.04 ICS. I have RSD Lite but no idea how to use it. My device is complete vanilla. Do I have to root/install CWM in order to install 2.3.6?
And should I do data/cache wipe. If so, how?
Thanks in advance. I really don't know whats going on.
Oops. I thought this would automatically be moved to Q&A after I checked that box. Could a mod move it there please?
Thanks

Please take more care when starting a new thread.
Hey, I'm actually in the same boat as this guy. I have a Rogers GSM Razr and I'm wondering if I want to install an ICS kernel based ROM, I have to use RSD lite to flash up to an ICS stock rom, and then flash the rom I want, right?
Thanks for the link Pedro.
Does my phone need any modifications (root/CWM) in order for me to flash with RSD?

Not really. Take your phone as a latam device. Any rom for a latam razr will work fine.
Just follow the procedure for ics on latam razr.
You have 4 Langs on ir. Eng. Pt. En. Fr.
And I posted a working 1 click root method today.
Btw, tell the guys about it

My problem is that, i cant go back to GB. My Device is a Motorola RAZR XT910 with Stock firmware 2.3.6 Telcel (LATAM)
Problem?
ID Error on motorola Boot, the only way i can run my device is with "Bptools" on bootloader. so i knew that thing, but im tired of this and i want back my GB.
i try to return the file mmcblk1p18 in dev/block/mmcblkp18 but inst working. somebody can help me with dat? and sorry for my poor inglish, im Latam...
in my opinion return to GB from ICS its very difficult. because its different kernel and boot loader - I think so
No method yet.....why u didnt read the thread before flashing?

Flash gb and root it with motofail
Then restore your own p18 backup and flash gb again.
Remember you have to be root to restore your own p18 bkp

Yeah, you're right because german leak doesn't need to replace the p18 partition. So, OP, you are able to downgrade anyway, you're luck!

Hey guys, I also flashed my razr to the leak ice 4.0.4 this moring.
so far, I satisfy with it without doubts. But what I am now concerning is can I flash my razr back to a rom which is not the T-Mobile version? I mean can I flash the Asia ics rom once such rom for razr actually comes out?
Thx guys!

Maybe you need the p18 trick to do this. But just try without it, you can go back to the german leak anytime you want. But root will be gone.
You can flash the chinese leak, just use RSD to flash ONLY System, then reboot into recovery, let it wokr, then reboot using BP tools, device will boot into chinese leak. But you won't have root and so you cannot delete the chinese stuff and bloat... So, the best hing would be to stay on the german leak 'till we'll have found a way to change it. And by the way, the german leak runs better for me (tested both of them).

May be I should wait patiently until you guys have developed some new stuffs
PS After flashing my razr to ics, I found that when using the built-in message app to send SMS to my friends (in chinese content), my friends told me they cannot see the message. To be precise, what my friends received were the empty boxes.
I can only send these messages through the 3rd party app.Anyone know how to solve this problem? Thx man
Why does no one read? Its like its a lost art. The op explains everything in the main ics leak thread. Yet there are people everywhere asking what can't or is very difficult to do. Sigh

Try to get back to stock by using RSDlite & fastboot file. You can search both in this forum.

If you go to "about phone", you can find the cyanomedmod version...search in the forum for an updated version and follow the guide to update it.
Could be fixed you know and the CM9 is a good OS.
If all else fails then flash back to stock

But these are all ICS Files!
I'm not sure about your Phones Region (Asia / EU / Latam)
You only can flash the right one for your Phones Region!!!!
Sent from my CustomiZed XT910
the region does not really matter. its mostly if the phone is from CDMA or GSM based stock. the region more or less implies the update path/carrier options preloaded on the phone.
correct me if im wrong =_= haven't had my coffee for the day
The Region does matter. If you wanna flash an Latam Rom on an EU RazR, you have to delete your CID (mmmcblk1p18) or you will get an cdt.bin failure. And it's not that easy to get your CID back, when you got no backup of YOUR's.
Only the Asia & EU Fastbootfiles can be changed without that.

I am new to installing ROMs and i have just finished installing ABSYM 1.0 on my droid razr. the razr is flashed to cricket wireless and is using gingerbread 2.3.6. i used safestrap to install the new rom, and 3g isnt working. the 3g is working just fine on my "unsafe rom" i pay $55 a month, and would like to use the safe rom as my primary rom. If there is a fix to the 3g issue. and if possible, mms... please post here! all suggestions will help.
If possible, post links as to where i can get updated for Droidthory's ROM - ABSYM v1.0. the links on droidrazr site aren't available anymore.
I was told by a friend that the 1.1 update fixes it. please help me find a link to the update
Thanks
You should do yourself a favor and upgrade to the ICS kernel, no one (tmk) is developing for GB anymore.

I believe you will have to flash stock GB back if you want to upgrade to ICS (and possibly JB, if you have a XT912) without hassles.
I suggest giving this thread a good read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840296
Look into the OTA sections for hassle-free upgrading.
That is, of course, assuming you have already tried going into the "About Phone" section and checked for updates to no avail.

Its not that I dont know how to upgrade... Its that my phone is flashed to a differnt phone company (cricket). And If I accept any system upgrades, it will take my flash away...

Hey guys, I've got the MERetail version of the stock ICS ROM on my Razr Maxx which won't be updated to JB and I want to prepare my phone for the official JB update and I'd like to install a stock ICS ROM that will get the OTA, preferably the UK version (or Europe version, if there is one).
Could you guys point me in the right direction? (file to download)
Is this the tutorial I need to follow: MOTOROLA Tools [Specially for Noobs] ?
Thanks a lot!
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_spyder/list.php here are the latest ics, and that is the right tutorial, flash the one you want with rsd lite.
but if your razr hasn't been made in germany, france or uk, you will probably not receive the ota update even though you flash a uk retail version. it depends on the imei...
go to motorola website and contact them asking in which country was your razr made, giving them the imei, that way you will know for sure if you will ever receive the update.
Oh, I didn't know that. But anyway, worst case scenario I could flash the JB stock ROM once it comes out, right?
Yes, I don't think I will receive the update either so I will also flash it when it all be out. You don't need to ask this in every thread

I like to have second opinions And for a new user, having the same question and answer in lots of places makes it easier to find. Why is that a bad thing? I've never understood the logic of this rule in online forums...
It's ok ask in every forum I do not make the rules, I gave you my opinion so that a moderator doesn't consider you a spammer
Sent from my XT910 using Tapatalk 2
It's just that I haven't heard this before, about the IMEI. Is it just a Motorola thing? I've had HTC's and Samsung's before and they could all have their CID modified (country ID?)...
Oh and I've also seen people mention CID in the Razr forums, I think...
Cid is unique on every phone, read about it also here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2078021

no, you can't replace just delete / restore (your own) it. CID = CustomerID.
Oh, rightt. So the trick is to actually delete it completely, not replace it with a good one.. Hmm, it looks very complicated
I think I will wait for the fastboot files for now
Thanks, guys!

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

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?

The European retail jellybean formats your whole phone, so you can flash it and have your phone back on normal.
