Cant download RSD...how else can i go stock?? - Motorola Droid RAZR

need to get back to my complete stock system .181 asap please....what is the easiest and safest way to do so
i cant seem to find it anywhere nd my PC will not download RSD...please help guys!

A quick search for RSD alternative should give you this
DO not try if you have installed a ICS leak - you will run into problems - otherwise you can flash with this. Good luck

i used matts utility 1.6 and i believe it worked...took a while and also unrooted me but i rooted again....does this mean i am back to stock ?

You're telling me that I won't be able to go back to GB from .75 without having issues using RSD?

Your best bet is probably just to flash to SBF 1.83. You can root from there using Gingerbreak

I can get the update now. I was part of the ATRIX 4G Pre-Release Software Test.
Problem is that I cant get software update since my phone is rooted.
search the forum and download sbf 183.
Then open the sticky thread how to flash sbf to your phone, and use the 183 file you found .
183 on mine didn't wipe my data..
So installed a clean 142 then update then flashed 183, root etc etc, and waiting for the 3.0 gingerblur!!!!!!!!
And I think that update increased wifi reception!!!

You can try the post above, flashing 1.83 sbf. Easy to do.
Or try unroot script within Gladroot

or the new gingerbreak 1.20 !
It has unroot function.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
From my understanding, you can upgrade even if the phone's rooted as long as you don't have a custom theme or pseudo-ROM like GingerBlur or GladAtrix installed. You'll lose root though, so make sure you can re-root it.
This should be in QA bro!

[Q] Root + GB 2.33 Auto Update

Hello all. My phone is trying to auto-update itself to GB...2.33. However, I am currently rooted...which I do not want to lose.
If the phone updates itself, is there currently any way to re-root the phone?
Thanks
- Steve
Well, I auto updated this morning while I was rooted. The OTA update went fine but I have lost root. If anyone can figure out how I can regain root in 2.3.3, I would forever be in your debt.
Thanks!

I Think You Can Just SBF Back To 2.2.2 And Use P3Droid's Pre-Root. Don't Quote Me Yet.

Yes, it's true. You can update to 2.3, then SBF back to Froyo 2.2. Then grab P3's Pre-Root 2.3 GB update, and flash it. Follow these instructions.
Don't hold me to it, but you can probably use P3's to go straight from 2.2 to 2.3, without updating first, then SBF'ing back to Froyo. I could be wrong though, and I'm not responsible.
There may be an apk responsible for this. I'm not sure, but could FOTA.apk be Forced OTA? I haven't tried freezing this, but is someone willing to try?
I don't think that's it.
I just froze "Updater 2.2.2" using Titanium Backup and restarted the phone...I don't see a popup anymore. Hopefully that stops the OTA until I can install it and root.
I have the phone setup just the way I want it right now...I doubt the 2.33 would make any much of a difference.
Here is what you do...
.sbf back to 2.2.2
boot up and re-setup the phone (*228)
use gingerbreak to root it
install the recovery app
download p3's update.zip and place it in the root of your sdcard-ext
boot to recovery and hit the sdcard:update.zip option
There are more detailed instructions in this subforum if you look.

I never let the ota install. but I did have to sbf my deodexed and deblurred 2.2 back to stock, install p3droids prerooted 2.3 then deodex and deblur it.
made a huge difference for me. text entry improvements alone are worth the hassle!

He is stuck for good, he softbricked. He needs to brute force GB back on then install the latest ics leak to fix the softbrick.
Unless he doesn't have a CDMA Verizon Phone.

Yow.. Thx for the reply man. Will you please send a link of post or somethin related the compatible rsd file that I will use? I really have no idea. Should I root my phone before proceeding? Btw I didnt install/flash any ROM. My razr was just rooted

Sorry,being kind of a noob myself i don't know how to post links just search the forums and look for videos on YouTube, that's what I did, because the razr has a locked bootloader it's very hard to really ruin it, seems the devs have a fix for everything ! Good luck

It seems like you are already on PSHAsiaRetail stock.

I don't know if this will let me post a link yet, but the "Literally Fool Proof Guide To Installing .211 (ICS)" (Google that) was the guide that got the update installed for me. It involved wiping the phone, but it's worth it since I had the time to go through my Titanium backups, etc. Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692694
EDIT: BTW, I had to get Version 1.7 of Matt's DroidRAZRUtility to re-root after installing ICS 4.0.4 (i.e. the .211 update). Version 1.6 didn't root it. I did not need the "Modified" version 1.6, though; did the fastboot flashing with Matt's 1.6-final. I also had to install updated Motorola drivers (came with DroidRAZRUtility1.7forICS.zip) to reroot.

Be warned that you cannot downgrade back after flashing it.
I've been using this Firmware. It's cool since GSM/UMTS works beautifully as well as LTE/CDMA ...
You guys rock!!!
Now I am free to try any rom with my new XT912 right? (old XT910S is still bricked)
Thanks a bunch!
p.s. I really hope that someone would be kind enough to upload the sbf of XT910S Korea.
So this is the .211 Fastboot files for the CDMA RAZR (912) correct? So now I can fastboot this and NOT have to use Matt's 1.7 utility to "unstuck" my RAZR and flash the .211 OTA?
I'm assuming then this is the OFFICIAL 211 image.
Also, noticed that the XML file doesn't have the entry to wipe your internal SD card. Thank goodness that was removed (even though it was an easy edit).

It allows you to flash your phone with a fresh install of ICS .211 (the same as the OTA) through RSD Lite. So, if you really mess up your phone trying to install a ROM or something, you can get back to stock ICS. That is all this file does - makes your phone stock. Originally we would flash the 2.3.6 SBF file to get back to GB. However, if you installed the OTA or some of the ICS leaks the bootloader changed, so flashing the 2.3.6 file would have caused your phone to become a brick (meaning you would need a new one). So now guys can mess with their phones (like we did on GB) and we can have this to fall back on if something goes wrong while trying to get our flashing fix...
Enjoy guys

And soon, Matt should release v1.8 of his utilities which will make it even easier for us to go back to stock.
