I have a razr maxx and I am (or was) on the latest ICS OTA. I rooted my phone trying to flash a rom. I tried flashing two different roms and it kept telling me "signature verification failed". So after a while of trying to flash and being unsuccessful I decided to try to RSD back to stock. Now that keeps telling me that it fails. Anything else I can try? please help me out. I'm willing to either flash a rom (or try to) or go back to stock, just want my phone working again.
Thanks in advance

did you try to fastboot GB files or fastboot back to 6.16.211. if you are trying to use rsd to fastboot GB fastboot files you are softbricked and need to flash the 6.16.211 files

How do I go about doing that? Do I use RSD Lite or put it in my SD Card? also I tried looking for the file and cant find one larger then 6.7 MB, is that about the right size? Thank you

Everything the previous poster said is true as far as how to fix it. The underlying issue is that you were (more than likely) trying to flash a GB ROM on an ICS system. The "Signature verification error" comes up because when your phone went through the ICS OTA, it updated the bootloader to a newer version. When you flashed the GB ROM, it throws that error because the version numbers are different from the GB bootloader to the ICS bootloader.
Just a little background info. I'm also curious were you just not paying attention to the version numbers?

yes as he said. Make sure pay attention to the details of things. ALWAYS do research on something before you flash it onto your phone. And as far as being on ICS you can no longer do anything with GB anymore (including roms and anything else)
Try Battery Calibrate from Play Store =)

I did everything as instructed in a direction, and it said that it failed. when i put it in AP Fastboot it says battery low is that the reason? and when i plug it into a computer it has a white light, what does that mean? when i plug it into a wall or car charger it just stays on the motorola dual core screen. does it just needs to be charged and if so which way to go? computer or wall/car charger? thanks again

I googled everywhere and the same problem comes up for the Axtrix 4g. Says something about use SBF to flash a stock rom. how do you do this for the Photon??? Can someone list the step? thanks
what happened? homebasephoton1.5 rom. I tried to install it but after I reboot I got failed to boot message........
It just means that the phone is unable to boot and is starting the fail-safe RSD mode... basically allowing you to use RSD Lite to flash a new SBF (basically phone image) to the phone to restore it. Are you rooted/unlocked?

Sorry that I didn't reply any sooner. This is what I did, since when the phone is with that problem won't charge the battery nor with charger nor with USB, so, I ran out of juice... I had to get an universal charger to charge the battery and then I flash it with RSD. I've flashed this file 154_5 sbf, once I got in, I flashed the updated one. It worked pretty good.
Let me know, regards.
when I am flashing sbf I have to remove my external sd card otherwise it wont work at all.
I changed to Alien Rom.after changing to alien rom I was facing a lot of FCs.So tried RSD lite with latest SBF.Now I am stuck at "Failed to boot 4 starting RSD mode"
From what I read from forums my phone is soft bricked.
"Failed to boot 4" is when a filesystem is missing a signature
The solution is to flash 154 sbf using RSDlite 5.5 version with a fully charged battery using the usb at the back of your computer.
Once you are successful flashing 154 you can update with latest SBF.
The important points are below.
1. Fully charged battery. (use an external battery charger as Photon does not charge batery in boot mode.
2. Used RSDlite 5.5 version
3. Use USB at back.
4. Use 154 not the latest version of SBF.
5. Make sure the process is not interrupted until the process is completed
Failed to boot 2
Im having the same problem and reflashing 154-5 doesnt work. Instead phone says "SVF:106:1:2
sec_execption: b655, eddc, eb.
It always fails on flash and re-enumeration.

just the VRZ_XT912_6.5.1-73_DHD-11_TA-3_1FF_02.xml is over a GB size, and it is taking forever to get downloaded, just waiting for it, otherwise i have everything else ready...
Thanks in advance buddy
do u think i should install safestrap? i mean after booting? is it safer?
I've used CWM and Safestrap, both work well. Safestrap gives you the advantage of basically being able to dual boot your system while leaving your primary ROM untouched, good for testing and messing around. I don't personally care for CWM, some people like it, just a matter of preference.
Yeah, the file is huge but once you have the fastboot files you don't have to worry about bricking your phone as long as you can get into AP Fastboot mode.
Quick question...did you try to wipe data/cache? When I had my DX ran into this same issue and needed to do a simple wipe. Just a thought.

Ok guys, I dont ask questions in here lightly, when I ask a question its only after hours of (fruitless) searching. I was invited to the soak test for the ICS update, BUT there were still traces of root on the handset so it kept failing, SO I tried the droid utility to un-root but for some reason pressed the wrong option (I know I know) and it attempted to load a version of firmware incompatible with my razr. SO I got the ap flash fail message and nothing else - a couple of hours later and about 15gb of files to flash through RSD lite, I am still no better off, I just can't find the right image, there is one that appears to install, but then it wont boot and goes instead to the ap fastboot screen boot fail.
Is my device dead? Or fixable? I have tried getting version info from the Moto website but they need the IMEI (which I have) AND a serial number which I DONT have, I have no idea why I tossed the box, nbot like me as I dont keep phones for long but for whatever reason I did.
The phone was second hand and has NO operator branding on it at all so I assume its retail, It was on 2.3.6. Please please someone tell me it's not as bad as it appears!!
if u got ap flash error.. I'm sure u just the right rom to flash via RSD lite n u should be ok.. try give some more info if u can.. like are u xt910 or xt912?

The only details I can access are on the back of the handset - Its the XT910, I know the IMEI number but thats not relevant,
The back also says, Type: MOC2E Fcc Id IHDP56ME2 Ic Id 1090 - P56ME2,
That is all I know, the phone has no operator software installed that I ever saw so I am guessing its a sim free retail model.
I have tried every eu fastboot flash file I can find, (about a dozen of them) I'm scared the battery will run out and leave me completely stuffed!
You can only flash phone with ICS fastboot not gingerbread firmware.
There are couple ICS fastboot leaked by sbf.droid-developers.com, download ICS firmware and flash phone with RSD lite. good luck.

Hi,
I have an XT 910 and its system version is 672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU and it's running ICS 4.0.4
I was given the option to update by motorola but i couldn't, it just keeps failing, I thought it's possibly because I had superSU when I rooted my phone so I clicked full unroot, and super SU disappeared but it still wouldn't update.
I would like to either try to get the update to work, or see if I can root my phone again and flash a custom JB rom like Liquid onto the phone, but sadly have changed to a macbook and not sure how to do these things on a mac!
Any light shed on me will be greatly appreciated...
Thank yoU!

Emmm, it prompts me to download the file, then when it finishes downloading it prompts me to install, when i hit install, the phone reboots, then goes to the Motorola startup logo, then the android thing moving, then the bar under then android goes about 1/4 of the way and the phone boots back into what it was, when it finishes starting up it'll just say "software update failed!" something similar, no coding what so ever....so I'm at a bit of a loss!

Ermmmm, I ought to understand this but I'm not sure what it means. Where do I obtain RSD lite, and if I reflash it does that just restore the system to the factory original, or would I be better off trying to flash it to JB instead?
I'm personally not too fussed if I can just get the official update to work...

Google is your friend. The reflash does restore the system files, you need to update to jelly bean from ICS, because the fastboot files for jelly bean are not released yet.

I know, i have been Mac and Linux user. But you need Windows to do that. Most of the things or programs are for Windows.
Right so I've got as far as getting windows, and RSD lite... i've got rsdlite v6.0
But I'm not sure which rom to flash, there seem to be loads of roms on the market but i just can't tell which one's the official update one.
I've found this thread that seems to suggest something similar but it doesn't seem to be a rsd lite thing...
would anyone be able to point me in the direction of the correct fastboot files I need? pleasee?

Okay so this is what happened. I had been having problems with a ROM I had so I wanted to try out a new one. The new one wouldn't flash for some reason (correct slot and downloaded correctly yes), and I had already deleted my other ROM to make space for the new one. My "BACKUP"ROM I had under TWRP folder all of a sudden was not there anymore and now I had really no option but to use an ICS stock ROM. Instead, I tried to flash the new ROM onto the STOCK ROM slot and when I rebooted the little android malfunction icon popped up and I can't even access the SafeStrap recovery mode, only the simple one where you use the volume keys as controls. (Yes I'm a noob in need of help). So can somebody help me and tell me how to get ANY KIND OF ROM on my phone? lol Thank you guys.

You will have to flash the Stock ROM back to the phone using RSD Lite or similar. Check sbf.droid-developers.org - Droid Razr for ROMS. I'm assuming you have a XT912.
If you have a XT910 look here RAZR XT910 Firmwares SuperThread (Jelly Bean) or sbf.droid-developers.org

Big trouble I've heard.
Just plug it in to the wall charger. If it was off, you will see the large blue battery icon showing it's charging. When you go to fastboot it will also show you "Battery OK". I think that means you have enough charge to flash, but I can't confirm that.
The big downside of flashing with RSD Lite is it will erase your internal memory.

True.
Will removing the emstorage line in the XML file avoid that? I haven't used RSD Lite in ages, just fastboot with the commands from the XML. I just ignored flashing and erasing emstorage.
