I've searched threads but since ICS update my Maxx freezes a lot. I tried the suggestions of cleaning davlik cache by holding power and volume up and down button but there is no option that I can find to do this. I am on stock IcS 211 never rooted. I have factory reset twice to no avail. Is this option only available if you are rooted?

If you root, you can install Safestrap and reboot into a recovery state, and there is an option to wipe the Dalvik Cache in there.
I wish I had the guts to root again. I had A Samsung Galaxy S 4g that I paid someone to root and flash for me. Needless to say the phone ran worse rooted so I followed instructions and unrooted and went back to stock. Thank god I succeeded in that but it was a nail biting experience for me and I just don't want to chance bricking my awesome Maxx. I love it too much to ruin it lol!

Well a root itself shouldn't slow it down or anything. If you use Matt's Utility, it should root it and that's all. Now if they flashed a custom ROM or firmware on your Sammy, then that may have been the problem. It will still be on full stock ROM and kernel, and have all the apps you previously had installed. Matt's Utility is about 1.1GB for 1.8/1.81, and it's a simple tool to reflash stock, root, install boot/safestrap, etc.

I want to update to gingerbread and rom to Eclipse, but for some reason the 1.3 update never works for me. Tried on rooted froyo, and it failed, tried it on empty factory reset phone and it still won't update. Does anyone have a clue on how this works?
Are you talking about p3's preroot GB zip? If so, it always shows an error at the end of the installation. Reboot and you're good.

No, I just did a regular factory reset.
Just gingerbread sbf, then factory reset again.

Hey, I was wondering if I wanted to flash a new ROM, would I have to SBF, or could I just flash the new one with out doing anything, or could I flash P3Droid's GB update.zip?
Also another noob question, when doing System Recovery, do I have to press Install Recovery every time, or just once?
Thanks for you help!
just wipe data, cashe, and devlic and im fairly sure you can flash whatever you want. anything thats on gingerbread. eclipse 0.7 official is gunna be out real soon, the test version is the best so far in my opinion.
Thanks! Wanted to try it out, right now im trying the Window 7 ROM!

I think the rule is if its based on the same version of android, you can just wipe the data, etc., as mentioned above. If you want to go a step further just to be safe, you can do a factory reset which could get rid of some stuff left over from other roms and start you over from scratch. Note that factory reset will remove all your settings and apps which you will have to restore afterwards. Titanium backup does a real good job of putting everything back to how it was though.
Thanks. I started to just flash over and make nandroids to be able to "dual boot" different ROMs haha

I've been trying to get CM7 on my X2 unsuccessfully for about two hours, here's the process I took.
I saved all my stuff, and erased everything on the phone using the Android Recovery. I went back to 2.3.4 using RSDlite, then Root using Pete's Tool and installed OTA Protect. I then installed Bootstrap, installed recovery, went to recovery mode, installed CM7, and then GAPPs. Now, I wipe data, clear the cache, clear the davlik cache, and reboot. Now, this is where I just get stuck at the M Dual Core Technology Screen.
I searched the forum for answers, but I couldn't really my problem. It seems CM7 just isn't booting for me. I have tried this 2-3 times already, please help me out!
Why did you install ota protect? And make sure you are properly rooted and that the sbf worked... check your about phone screen to make sure... all I know is to sbf again and start from the beginning.
Edit: also did you install the patched bsr.apk for cm7?

I've had to sbf more thwn once to get my X2 to get up and running. I would say to try and sbf again and instal the patched CM7 BSR. If u have any other questions, u can always pm me and ill do my best to help u outout
STEEL BLUE CM9X2
SBF 2.3.4
Root phone
Install regular BSR
Flash CM and Gapps
Wipe data (not cache DATA)
Boot CM
Load BSR for CM7
You CAN NOT boot CM with regular BSR loaded , hence the wipe Data before booting.

Hello all,
I recently rooted my Motorola Droid RAZR & made a backup of the stock rom with root that I'd had. I played around with a few roms and now I want to flash back to the backup that I originially made.
I've now restored the device to the original ROM. When I reboot the system, it gives me the SafeStrap option & I hit the Search Button to continue to boot the ROM. At this point, the screen stays black & nothing happens.
What should I do? RSDLite?
Thanks everyone,
Austin
I need help too

i think the better way is to flash stock with rsdlite, clear data\cache in stock recovery, then boot normally, install safestrap again and restore your backed up rom
yeah same problem......I really don't think you can restore back to stock
Sent from my XT912
Yeah I eventually had to just RSDLite the thing, it wasn't too painful.
Were can I get the files u used to restore can u share them here

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539192 for RSD files and instructions
and for those who get into the boot loop after flashed with rsd, boot into recovery mode and make a factory reset/wipe cache, the reboot it worked for me
cheers
As the title suggests, I'm trying to get SafeStrap 3.11 installed on my XT912 (Verizon carrier). I've verified root access, and even tried a redo of the root access, as well as multiple installations of the SafeStrap 3.11 APK, but the only thing I get here is "Unfortunately, SafeStrap has stopped". I'm at a loss here, and hoping that someone may have a suggestion to get me past this road block.

I'm getting no love from the recovery. Red triangle and dead droid image. I have ROM Manager, but there is apparently no official CMR for the Motorola RAZR.

When you get to de opened android press volume+ and volume- at the same time that will take you in to recovery and you can do the cache wipe.

Ahhh, got it. OK, that allowed me into the recovery menu. Wiped the cache, reinstalled SafeStrap... and no dice. SafeStrap still comes back with the same stopped message.
Do the Droid gods require a sacrifice?
