Verizon has offered me the Razr Max because my Rezound has had some serious issues, I gladly took them up on the offer. Never owned a Motorola device but am aware of the locked down bootloader. My first question, Has the Razr received the ICS update over the air?? 2nd, Is there anything special I need to know or do before I update the OS if the ICS is trying to update when I first boot up the device. Going to start reading up on all the quirks of the phone but thought I would just throw it out there. Any input would be helpful.
Thanks,
Vinny
Is the SafeStrap recovery still working for the ICS update? Is this the best recovery to use for a new Motorola owner who has some experience with other rooted phones?
I may sound like a noob but i have some idea of what im doing. I had a droid 2 rooted with z4 root and was running cm7. I got my razr maxx in april ran stock ics for a lil bit which i got from the soak test moto did. I decided to root it dont remeber at this moment which root utility i used, but i got it from xda. My problem is i cant find any forums for just the maxx or xt912. I loved my custom ro for my d2. Now i want jellybean or a custom rom for it. But unsure of the bootloader. Im running safestrap 2. Something. Help need info

I know that every method works for each version of your android system, I rooted my phone, I guess the next step is to install the boot Menu Manager, I am new @ motorola phones, I come from Samsung Droid Charge, I would like to install a fully working debloated rom, I currently have the latest update 4.1.2.
I am lost, but I know I have root, I just checked with root checker.
Please help me !!
Hi. Go to your browser and install safestrap 3.11. After that, just find a ROM and follow instructions. There's a guy named Tom on YouTube who has some good 'how-to' videos. Don't use ROM manager or ROM toolbox. They arent very reliable or up to date. Titanium backup is a good purchase that helps. Have fun and whatever you do, keep and backup your stock ROM!

you just check out droidrzr.com they are dedicated to xt 912 cdma and have lots of good support and live chat support as well. incase nobody helps you here
Is ROM Toolbox still a good/safe app for debloating my stock ROM?
I came from an HTC Thunderbolt and this phone is already very different.
Also, does anyone know of an EXTREMELY STABLE ROM that is 4.2.2 Jelly Bean for this XT912?
i wouldnt suggest using rom tool box. motorola have locked bootloaders things are done differently with them while samsung and htc and others have unlocked bootloader. this is where motorola gets tricky the website i referred to you have an active chat and lots of good support if you post there. somebody will respond to you fast.
razr is kind of dead in forums because of how difficult motorola is development. it really is painful.

I kinda figured it was.
Having to use the Smart Actions app during the root process is what made me think... wtf? Lol.
Check out the CM 10.1 and Avatar ROMs is you are going for a Jelly Bean rom. So far i have liked them. FYI, i just rooted my razr a few weeks ago as well. I am loving it. :laugh:
OK I am kinda newb to RAZR, not new to flashing Roms etc. I see some people run safe strap others use boot menu, whats the best new way since JB update?

I have rooted my month old Moto Maxx to 4.2.2 12.15.15. What are the benefits of going back to stock & taking the OTA & then trying to re-root over just installing a new ROM ..say CM? I got the message that the OTA for 4.4 is available...Whats my best bet? I'm happy just being rooted & able to get rid of the bloat.
I think you may be in the wrong device forum. This is for the Droid RAZR released in 2012. We have no OTA update for 4.4 in sight. I think your looking for the droid Maxx. That device thread can be found here:
