Updated to ICS: Bootloader stayed the same, Downgrade possible? - Motorola Droid RAZR

I updated my XT910 to ICS with RSD Lite and 672.180.33 EU. Since the boot loader stayed the same 0A.6C, I'm wondering if I can downgrade to GB without bricking my RAZR.

Moved to correct sub forum.

this operation is not possible.
after total flash or upgrade to ICS and kernel 3.0.8 you not return to Gingerbread.
after install ICS and new kernel you flash only ICS roms with new kernel...

No, as RSD still flashes cdt.bin which is the bootloader.

Put your phone into Download Mode. (Power Off, Hold volume down+home+power button)
Run Odin
Choose PDA file which is your stock firmware.

相信你是个中国人,要不然应该不能买到中国版的9100G。

I tried this before when I first flashed to CM9, I get bootloops. Since then, I forever stick to ICS and never trying to convert back to GB although I wish to do so. I dare not and i'm lazy to deal with the bootloops.. I not sure why I get bootloops btw, some other ppl faced that as well. So I hope this brother able to convert back to GB successfully. Good luck.
To convert back to GB you have to flash an old GB bootloader for some reason after flashing the stock ROM. After that do a full wipe, everything else ended up in a bootloop for me.
Fingers crossed .

I can flash GB stock GDZKL3 after flashing this bootloader right? bootloader should flash before flashing rom, or after flashing the rom? Thanks.
I tried both options. Try flashing the bootloader at first but don't forget to uncheck "Auto-Reboot" in odin. After that you should be able to flash the stock GB ROM. Do you have a jig just in case of any problems? I remember I used my jig, but don't really know why.

The instruction to isntall the second update are in the first post
I forgot, if you install from rds lite maybe you need to wipe data/cache to make it work. So if you don't want to do it (but i suggest you to do it and make a backup with titanium, so the system will be clean) you have to update from the ota files
Thanks for the reply - Will give this a go when I get home later on!

You have to unzip it, then with rds lite you have to select the xml file that is inside the sbf files

Hi guys,
I have a motorola xt910 verizon that a friend of mine gave it to me, and its stuck in the fastboot mode it was running a 651.167.22.XT910.Retail.en.fr, when I tried to flash another rom via rsd it failed, and I also tried vi flashme.bat but it failed again.
So, I was trying to flash a ics rom, I was told that first I had to flash the 651.167.26.XT910.Retail.en.fr version.
Does anyone can help me find that 651.167.26.XT910.Retail.en.fr version to flash it via rsd?

Hi devs,
I had KitKat from here: (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2535920) installed in stock slot using Safestrap 3.71. Unfortunately I accidentally uninstalled the recovery from Safestrap and now the phone won't start up. Flashing from stock recovery fails. What are my options experts? How can I revive my phone? Kindly link me to resources and guide me through this. I'm lost.

Is it possible to flash back to ICS from 4.4 over the stock slot? Do I need to flash using Fastboot or SBF? Does it have to be stock, 'coz I'm not sure if I'll even find a fastboot for a 4.4 stock.
Could you detail a bit on exactly which version of android should I flash with? That'd be of great help..
Thanks.

No, you can't go back to ICS. Your firmware flash will be official OEM Motorola firmware, so it will be Jelly Bean and why RSD lite is required. You will need the correct firmware for your region or carrier, or it won't complete the flash. read/watch tutorials first if you haven't used RSD before. Your 4.4 was a custom ROM. So there aren't any firmware flashes for it. After you have flashed with RSD and the firmware you will be bonestock, unrooted JB. From there root again, reinstall your recovery etc. etc.
Hit thanks if I helped.

Hi Draxin,
Thank you for the suggestion. About the OEM firmware, mine's an Asia Retail version of Razr. We never had an official firmware beyond ICS. So what do you suggest? Will deleting the CID and then flashing with a JB EU work?

If you didn't delete the CID to swap firmwares before to get CM11, I wouldn't start now. Most xt910 firmwares now are JB, and once you are on the motorola JB kernel you can't go back to ICS, which was why I said that. If you weren't on a official JB before then that doesn't apply to you.
I would flash the official Firmware for your device, and yes you will have to put your device into apfastboot for RSD lite.

I used RSD lite 5.7 and sbf file of 2.3.6 Movistar America and flashed my Atrix 4g.
And got my Atrix back in work.
Now where I can get sbf file of ICS or Jellybean so that I can flash again and upgrade my Atrix.
I know that Motorola has not provided official update but still I want to take chance.
Previously I have installed CM7 and CM10.1 but I didn't like it and also the phone is rebooting constantly.

Congrats! Now you are on the most up to date sbf. There is no ICS or JB sbf file. There is, however, an unofficial official ICS release (AtrICS v2.0), CM9 (4.0.4), CM10 (4.1.2), and CM10.1 (4.2.2) ROMs available to flash via CWM.
