I'm not new to the flashing ROM game but I am new to the Motorola Droid RAZR. I had a Eris and laetly i had a Droid X2 but now I have a Droid RAZR (CDMA) Starting on 4.0.4 i have tried to flash over two different ROMS ( Eternity Project v3 and Eclipse)
Eternity Project flashed over just right but I had no signal connection. I think that is due to it being a GSM ROM that i later found out. Eclipse didnt flash over the first time using BOOTmenu Manager. Had to use SafeStrap. Everything looked good after reboot but after looking into it, it was should on the stock ROM.
Im kinda stuck on what to do next - i have been reading about some kind of patch? IS this what i need to install / apply? I really like the Eternity Project so if theres a way to have that - it would be nice.
Thanks EhB
I've never heard of a patch to get GSM ROMs to work with CDMA phones I know of CDMA ones to GSM, but you can ask the developer of the ROM.

I dont get why we cant have custom roms for the droid razr because, the bionic, the droid 3, droid x, and droid 2 have custom rom even though the bootloader is still locked
Sent from my DROID RAZR using XDA App
Okay its because there isnt a SBF yet for the device. Once that is leaked and ready to go there wont be much roms. Also the devs need a razr to play with and most devs dont have it yet. In time you will have roms.
What do u mean by sbf?

SBF = System Binary File.
It is a binary image of the stock (unmodified) Droid Razr OS, that can be pushed to the phone through a program like RSDLite. The purpose of this SBF is to be able to restore a phone to factory condition, if something goes wrong.
So, devs need:
* The SBF file, as a baseline and recovery tool
* An unlocked bootloader, so that they can load ROMs onto the phone
* The source code for an Android OS, so they can modify it and actually create the ROM.
So far, I think they only have #3. Items #1 and #2 will come over time.
Misleading title. I thought OP already DEVELOP droid razr rom

An unlocked bootloader is nice, but not absolutely necessary, there are plenty of phones with locked bootloaders and custom roms.

Agreed. you dont need a unlocked bootloader. Only if you want custom kernels.
hi thanks for your information
We're in a bit of a tough spot right now. We want to mod and play but without a SBF to save us were not going all out and just doing little things. However doing those little things may stop the OTA update if it's recognized that we are messing with our system files. Then we would need an SBF to go back to stock to get the OTA which we may or may not have. So then we will have to rely on a ROM that will work on our version of RAZR. At least with one official SBF for our own RAZR version we can always start at the beginning. I'm trying to keep my mods to a minimum so the OTA doesn't get broke but may be beyond that already, who knows.
Nitro said he had a ROM booting and that he'd post it on DroidRZR today, so.
I just bought a used razr and it came rooted with ICS installed. It also had the arctic on the sd card, so i flashed that. I would like a 100% stock rooted rom for a Verizon razr (xt910 i think, correct me if i am wrong). I am new to motorola, so i would like to get used to stock before i start modding. I want to stay rooted with custom recovery if possible so i can flash other roms in the future. Could somebody post a link of what i am looking for, or at least guide me in the right direction? Coming from and Evo and Evo 3d things are way different on a moto. Thanks

I know the new 2.3.5 update perma-locks the bootloader but does the bootstrap method still work? I use 4g regularly and have no intention to go unlocked but I have used the bootstrap flash a few times and find it useful.
thanks
yeah. i thought bootstrap was designed for the users who got the2.3.5 update(downdate lol)

So last night I got brave and tested the Bootstrap Recovery (dx2.apk) and it went smooth. I was able to boot into CWR and do a Nandroid backup. Before I personally go any further I'm doing some reading on the ReRecovery option (found here in the forums) as it sounds like an easier option than original BSR process. From what I understand, they are both technically the same except RR makes it a little easier being that after everything you flash, your BSR is gone.

Hey Im I'm running my Verizon RAZR on cricket and after jumping to the jb leak a month ago I just recieved a new ota update on my phone and now I none of my custom ROMs work. I tried each one with multiple wipe and still nothing can anybody shed some light on the situation? I will attempt to go back to the leak version and grab the update info for whoever want or need to know what it is wish me luck I have a lot of moto/ cricket flashing to do

The official ota jb changes kernels that's why the ROMs won't work.

Hey whats up guys. Need a lil help here. I have a Razr Maxx System version 6.16.211.xt912.verizon.en.us Android ver. 4.0.4
I have it rooted and have Safestrap v3.05 loaded and was using the eclipse rom.
I got a official update notice from verizon and its been awhile since I have done any of this and just wanted to know a few things I seem to be having problems with.
To update to the latest version of Andriod how do I need to do this? I tried to load the new roms but they wont work and I am assuming its because either I need to update my safestrap or to do it through bootloader. I forget lol.
When I had my thunderbolt doing all this seemed alot easier.
Also some suggested roms would be nice
Now that you have updated you can find ROMs for the new kernel over at http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/forum/156-droid-razr-roms-for-the-jelly-bean-kernel-xt912/ there's even a kernel compatible utility that works magic on your phone to make the older ROMs work check it out hope I helped.
