I am running the leaked canadian rogers ics firmware on my gsm razr xt910
I would like to revert back to gingerbread 2.3.6
I have the gingerbread stock firmware with the .xml files and everything, so if i flash them with rsdlite , will i be back on gingerbread or will that just brick my phone?I need to know because Ive been told the cdi.bin files are totally different, but since im flashing a fresh firmware signed and using rsdlite there shouldnt be a problem? Thanks
Can't go back to GB after upgrading to ICS... Bootloader is different. You will brick Sorry...
Thank the locked bootloader...

I am still on the older HKTW 2.3.4 and now that the newer ATT leaked 2.3.4 is out there i would like to know the best way to flash it? And by best i mean safest . I know there have been a lot of bricked atrix's, so any help is greatly appreciated!
Additional info:
I have installed Clockwork recovery
I have rooted it
Thanks
The best way is to use Ken's cwm zip. The danger is in updating using the orange pulled from moto servers and then trying to sbf back to an earlier build.
Ken's rom and Dorian's red pill rom are both fantastic.
Edit: This assumes you have the unlocked CWM, which I would guess is the case since you are on HKTW.

so can i just flash dorians redpill over my hktw 2.3.4, because he says you can do it if you are already on 2.3.4 but i am not sure if it will only work if you are on Kenns 2.3.4. WOuld the safest method be to flash back to 1.8.3, then unlock the bootloader and flash back to kenns 2.3.4 then to dorians redpill?
I'm currently using the Simply Stock gingerbread rom, and I flashed gingerbread bootloaders. I may want to try some of the new ICS roms coming out, but I want to be sure I know what I'm doing first.
Would attempting to flash back to stock 2.2 brick my phone with the gingerbread bootloaders? Do I need to revert the bootloaders first? Thanks in advance.
u can flash from the jvt rom you have now just fellow the guide in the op, you will have to flash the ics rom twice .but if u want to go back to stock use this guide and going back to stock would not brick you phone.

Gingerbread bootloaders are backward compatable with froyo and eclair no need to worry or change them. I prefer them because of the button mapping.
They also work with ICS. I have them and am running ICS Passion and have also tried all the other Vibrant and I9000 ics roms with them.
I also went striaght to ICS from DarkyROM 10.2.2 (2.3.4 JVQ)
I am very sorry people but I have no idea what to do.
I have a Motorola RAZR XT910 with the 651.167.21.XT910.Retail.en.EU firmware. When I hit system-update the phone tells me that there is no update available. As far as I can tell my phone is unbranded. My carrier is from germany is called Simyo and runs on the german E-Plus network.
I have read that the updates to ICS should be rolling out sometime this month.
But I was wondering if I could update to ICS without waiting? There are so many ROMS and Fastboot and stuff flying around that I have no idea what to take and to flash. What I know is I have to flash the following version of exact my ROM, right? So maybe it isnt even possible?
Answer would be appreciated.
Cheers
why dont u flash an ICS stock ROM then?

Can I flash any ICS stock ROM? I am unsure because I read that you can only flash ROMs that work with the right build.
So I will just take a ROM from the Project Eternity thread that is ICS and flash it, right?
yes u can. before that, just make sure that the ROM is for XT910. Not for XT910S or else

Hey guys, the guide to upgrade to JB says to flash clean ICS... I have a rogers razr with system: 672.180.352.XT910
Can I flash this from rsd: (Will it brick me?)
6.7.2-180_SLC-35_R02_SIGNLATAM_SPYDERICSROGERS_P012_A012_HWp2b_CFC_fastboot.xml.zip
Blur Version 672.180.352.XT910.Rogers.en.CA
Link.
Thanks...
I used the Droid Razr Utility 1.82 to go back to the stock ICS ROM. Then I flashed to that leaked Verizon JB ROM.
And from THERE I flashed the "DiaBiTis.SE.JB.ROM.v2.0.0-R3Ds" ROM and it's been great.
I'm not sure if that helps you.

Why do you want to go back to ICS? There IS a root method for JB fyi
I'm in Australia and have bought an XT910 from someone in America and it turned out to be Mexican (woo ebay).
Currently
System version: 651.73.250.XT910.AmericaMovil.en.01
Android version: 2.3.5
Baseband version: U_1C.76.03P
For that carrier 2.3.5 is still the newest update and what I want to do is flash it over to whatever would be best for Australia. (I use TPG which uses Optus) I want 4.anything
I've rooted the phone and I have an EuropeAustralia rom from sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_spyder/list.php if I chuck that into RSD Lite (5.6) I get an error:
Failed flashing process. Failed flashing process. 1/11 flash cdt.bin "cdt.bin_signed" -> Phone returned FAIL; phone connected
This doesn't brick my phone but it doesn't do anything else either.
I read somewhere that you can't flash to different baseband versions, but I'm not sure about that statement..
Thoughts? I'm relatively new to this so thanks for being patient
No matter where you live, you must flash a firmware for it's ORIGINAL region (functionality it's not different by region), in fact all regions of the XT910 have been in ICS for quite long, since you have a mexican XT910 then you can flash any LATAM and Canada firmware but I recommend you this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1753383 first since it is bloatware free, after then you can research more and get more knowledge to mod it the way you like :good:
Edit:
In the post I linked download the one that says retail brasil

Thanks, worked a charm. Thought it would be something like that, I was sure everything else was fine.

Its the JB leak.
Don't worry ; you aren't going to brick ur phone.
Just follow all steps and everything is going to be fine
If everything goes wrong...you can flash GB on your phone (just download fastboot gingerbread rom) and flash it with rsd lite ; then update again to ICS.
Welll, its pretty easy
If you need anything else just ask
after you flash ICS there's no way back to gingerbread, you don't have to flash gingerbread before flashing ICS, unnecessary

No offence bro, but that's the worst advice I've heard yet..
First up you can't follow the guide to JB path if you're on GB ( bmm is ics and up only )
so then if you do upgrade to ICS and then follow the path to JB there is no way you can down grade to GB
My advice use ics and enjoy ...easy
