How to use ext3 files from backup if im stuck in fastboot - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hello. First of all i did a huge search and tried everything i found before posting. I rooted my phone, use bootstrap, made a nandroid backup, saved it on my pc and tried to flash cm9. When i reboot phone from recovery it got stuck on M logo. I tried to go back to recovery and made a data wipe, rebooted phone and got stuck again. I tried to restore stock with RSD...didnt work. Start flashing and after a couple minutes said flash failed. My stock rom is from Claro PR. Gb 2.3.5 and i didnt find any where that file to use via RSD. I tried Latinamerican 2.3.5 (Argentina) and 2.3.6 and nothing. Tried to restore stock rom using Razr tool and it shows something like signature failed....thats because it restore to stock EU firmware. My phone keep stock on fasboot flashing failure or something like that. I found that i can flash system.img from my nandroid backup via adb( mean fastboot) but when i extract my nandroid backup theres only three ext3 files and the .md5. I open every file trying to find an .img but nothing. What can i do? How can use that file to restore my phone? It is posible to change that files to .img? Does somebody has the system.img file from stock Claro PR 2.3.5 or any other that worked for you on Claro? Please help!!! Thanks in advance.

You flashed an ICS CM9, right?
So now you can't flash an GB FW, because you stuck on ICS. You have to find an ICS Fastboot for your Region and use this with RSD!

Hi!
These files shaw be restored thru safestrap/bootstrap. If you lost recovery then you'll need to flash a fresh firmware with RSD lite.
Take a look in dev section for a fastboot file to ur razr. Btw, what version of the razr do you own?
Cheers

Help restoring from ICS back to GB ROM.

Ok so I'm currently running the latest ICS CleanROM but would like to restore back to my GN nandroid I made. I'm just confused on what steps I need to do. I guess the ICS ROMs use different kernels that are not compatible with GB. In which case I don't know where to get the latest OTA stock kernel from so I can restore back to GB. Been searching and trying to read but it gets confusing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.

There is a posted latest OTA stock on android developement , but I think it got pushed back to the 2nd page by now.
He has 2 files , one is a zip and the other a ph98img file.
Now, the text file in the ph98img file is our old stock number so it won't auto install.
Here is what I did, put the first file on the root of the external SD card.
Open up the second file and remove the boot.img file, and put on your desktop or better yet into your fastboot folder that you used to unlock with.
Now, reboot in recovery and wipe data/factory reset. Then install your backup, but don't reboot yet. Flash the 1 st file you downloaded from the OTA kernel post. After that is done , return to main recovery menu.
Now select developer menu, then select reboot to bootloader. After you are in bootloader select fastboot (should say FastbootUSB ) if your phone is plugged in and your in fastboot.
Finally, open up a command prompt from the fastboot folder containing the boot.img from the 2nd file and type in fastboot flash boot boot.img
This will flash the rest of the stock kernel for you . Now ,, just reboot normally and you should be good to go .
Now, this is if the backup nand your restoring was using the stock OTA kernel. If not , its the same process just pull the boot.img out of the kernel from whatever rom your trying to restore.

i just came back to cleanrom 1.5.5 from ics rom and this is what i did.
you need the cleanrom and cleanflash 1.0 to do this.
cleanrom: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=70
cleanflash: http://www.scottsroms.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=57
extract the rom file and copy the boot.img file and paste on cleanflash folder.
also put the rom file in your ext. sdcard.
now use cleanflash.exe and flash the boot.img first
then from bootloader, go to recovery and wipe then flash the rom
Awesome thanks guys this is helpful. Gonna give it a try.

I tried to install pacman after I read that it works for all kernels (I read it like that dunno who wrote it)
and it didnt work out so I tried to restore my backup with ss 3.11, it restored everything but
My screen worked till ss than my phone was on but ı couldnt to anything.
I have been called, my cellphone was ringin but only black screen...
my problem was that and I really f*cked everything up,
and I must add i erased cid and have no backup so I think this is really bad:/
I dunno what to do..
Can any1 help?

[Q] Safestrap v3.11 No OS installed on stock ROM slot

I thought I could install a rom in the stock rom slot? Now, that I had tried to flash a rom and wipe everything i need to wipe, it is saying that there is no OS installed and is asking me if Im sure I wanted to reboot. What's going on?
using safestrap v 3.11 on droid razr maxx jelly bean
Because the ROM slot stock contains the original ROM, por stock ROM if you wipe it and didnt make a backup or the ROM you flash doesnt work you could brick your de vice, verter make a romslot1 and flash there just to be safe

The only way to get your stock rom back is via pc.
Uninstall moto drivers,restart pc,install them again and try to change usb port.

Did you make an initial backup of your stock ROM right after you unlocked the bootloader?? If you did, then you should be able to restore that.
1. Go into recovery
2. wipe data, cache, factory reset
3. go to backup and restore
4. and restore the GB backup.
if you DIDN'T do a backup initially, then hopefully someone here has an answer for you, because I don't. sorry.

Flash a fruitcake.
are you en att user?
If you flash ThE att fruitcake, it wont let you go to cwm.
if you want to go back to to cm10.1 you might install with fastboot The CWM, and reboot into cwm before it boots to att. If you boot into att it will kill tour cwm.
So fastboot tour cwm, and reboot directly un cwm.
Every time you boot ib att 145 it kills tour CWM.

145 had a recovery that reflashes the stock recovery after flashing a custom recovery. You need root access to delete the file that causes that to happen, then custom recovery will stay. Somewhere here on xda there is a page that lets you flash 145 like a fruitcake. If you don't want 145, you can do 141 with no recovery issues.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
i flashed the 145 fruitcake. the fruitcake is already rooted, right? so even the fruitcake flashed the stock recovery.
so there is a file to delete that stock recovery, besides de feuitcake itself?

yes. As i said, it will be in the system partition. I don't recall offhand what the file name/location was, but i do know there is a script called boot from recovery, it ties into what i'm refering to.
I believe 145 is rooted, but i was already rooted before i flashed 145.
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
The definition of a "fruitcake" is "100% untouched stock system", therefore a real fruitcake will never be rooted.
what about bootloader?
i read that someone removed the bootloader lock from 145 ota, so you can update from 141 to 145 and your bootloader wont lock.
so that is not a fruitcake anymore?

That would be the method i used to go from 141 to 145. There was a thread with the zip file of the ota that can be flashed via cwm. As i said, i'm not sure if its rooted or not, but its a fairly simple process. The bootloader remained unlocked when i used this method
Fruitcakes never include a bootloader.

[Q] Stuck on Fastboot Very confusing phone

Hi all
I purchased what seemed to be a xt910 from ebay once arrived it worked on the android gb retailasia.03 , what was weird about it is that the outside was branded with verizon and behind was written on the phone xt912 while the about page said it was a XT910.
On the phone was superuser which i guess it had to be rooted
I messed up and used Matt's utility to tro to update the phone to ics and got stuck in a bootloop it wont start , go into recovery or anything i have been trying to flash with verizon ics , gb , asiaretail ics and gb it is very confusing since i dont know if it's a verizon or xt910 orignally.
I have not been updating over 4.0.4 since i read that once you update you can't turn back although i tried to update it never booted and received errors on RSDLITE 5.7 cdt.bin Failed on every time
I was low on battery and ordered a factory cable from ebay , If this is helpfull
I am hopeless and gave it to a shop , of course he couldn't do it so this is my last resort and anyn help will be much apreciated i couldn't even use and tryout this amazing phone and yet i have it 1 month stuck on fastboot
I am currently located in israel and people just don't know this stuff here
i will provide pictures as well and hope some of you can help me since i am a noob in this and it's way more complicated then i expected
IT will be greatly apreciated
thanks!

Hello jerjer
Did you clear data / factory reset it at least twice in a row? Before and after using the utility? Many times boot loop is easily fixed this way.
Sorry to state the obvious but first things first right.

Thank you for responding , you mean in mat's utility? which i used 1.7 ? i can't access anything in the boot menu when opening recovery it will reboot in ap fastboot mode.
thank you
From recovery not from matts util. Access by holding vol up and down then pressing power. Clear data twice from recovery, use mats util then, clear data twice again.
I am not a guru but I can at least suggest what I would try

Follow the steps below.
1.Doawload a RsdLite,you can find it online.
2.Download a XT912 Jellybean Fastboot
File on internet.
3.Connect your phone to the computer with AP mode.(You can get into AP mode with this way ress the volume - button and power button about 10 seconds,when the screen turns into black,release the power button and keep pressing the volume button.)
4.Run the RSDLite,pull your Fastboot file into the RsdLite window,click the button in the middle.Wait the process over and the phone will reboot automaticly.
If your really can solve the problem in tjis way,dont give any donation to me,donation isnt the reason why I want to help.
