I came from the Galaxy S forums where all these ROMs and updates were given to you on a silver platter instructions and all
I'm using a GSM Canadian Droid RAZR purchased from Fido, running on the Virgin Mobile network. (Yeah, its complicated.)
System Version:
651.167.3331.XT910.Fido.en.CA
Android Version
2.3.6
I've been waiting all this time for the Verizon update, but only realized a week ago that Verizon is CDMA, and theres no chance I'll get it on my Fido branded RAZR.
What do I need to do? I downloaded the LATAM 2.3.6 GB as well as the 4.04 ICS. I have RSD Lite but no idea how to use it. My device is complete vanilla. Do I have to root/install CWM in order to install 2.3.6?
And should I do data/cache wipe. If so, how?
Thanks in advance. I really don't know whats going on.
Oops. I thought this would automatically be moved to Q&A after I checked that box. Could a mod move it there please?
Thanks

Please take more care when starting a new thread.
Hey, I'm actually in the same boat as this guy. I have a Rogers GSM Razr and I'm wondering if I want to install an ICS kernel based ROM, I have to use RSD lite to flash up to an ICS stock rom, and then flash the rom I want, right?
Thanks for the link Pedro.
Does my phone need any modifications (root/CWM) in order for me to flash with RSD?

Not really. Take your phone as a latam device. Any rom for a latam razr will work fine.
Just follow the procedure for ics on latam razr.
You have 4 Langs on ir. Eng. Pt. En. Fr.
And I posted a working 1 click root method today.
Btw, tell the guys about it

Been running stock rooted ics for a while and decided to try out a rom. I decided to try simplex rom. Well i decided to go back to my backup using safestrap. Well i booted in safestrap wiped and applied the back up. Now on reboot it goes to the M logo then screen goes black? What did i do wrong and what to fix it? I am downloading some things but not sure what i need to do?
thanks
Hi
Try to wipe cache/dalvik. If it don't boot. I think you'll need to flash a stock rom.
What's your razr ? verizon, att, latam...
Cheers
Sorry, i meant to include vzw. Safestrap recovery dont even show up now on boot? So i dont know how to flash the stock rom?

Thank you so much guys for the links and your patients! Once it downloads i will follow the helpful guide. I hate that my back up didnt work :/
That's not my Guide, but it's realy helpful for people that not confirmed with RSD.
So hit the Thanks Button in the linked Thread :thumbup:
BTW: An Factory Reset before RSD is never wrong, just to be clean and save.

any idea why my back up didnt work? would it be due to the bootloader change from the simplex rom? If that is the case ,do you think i can try the back again?
Hey guys I have a Razr V and I know there is basically no support for it on here but having a look around I managed to install Boot Menu Manager (BMM) recovery on it and it seams to be working fine.
Foolishly I tried to flash a CM10.1 ROM on it that is hardcoded to only work on Safestrap ROM slot 1. I can still access the recovery though and I was wondering if someone can point me to a ROM they may work with this phone (its stuck on ICS kernel and I'm not sure if there is a JB kernel I could flash)
This is good progress for us guys with this phone, I think its available in Canada, China and Australia. Anyway I'm trying to get a custo ROM on here and was wondering if some of you guys might be able to help me out.
Would I be able to flash a JB kernel for the XT910? The phones are very similar, but I don't want to try it if it will certainly brick my phone.
EDIT: at the moment my phone is boot looping on the CM10 screen so it is good news we may be close to getting a custom ROM on here, or maybe I'm just an idiot and have ruined my phone
Cheers

What were the problems with the rom you installed. Also to port roms you need a base like cm10 otherwise its pointless. Every custom rom not based on stock is cyanogen based. All roms like miui, pac, etc are all based on cyanogen. So if we can get a cyanogen mod built rom to boot on our phone we can then start modifying it get all the broken things to work once we have done that we can then create a devtree then compile our roms from source. Its a bit backwards but way quicker than starting from nothing.
The soft buttons was an easy fix but the other problems where the SD card wouldn't mount properly. (File manager and storage recognised it but the phone said it was damaged) and the camera force closed.

Hey, I too have a RAZR V, and I live in Canada. For MONTHS I've been waiting for JB, anything higher than 4.0.4, but Motorola is taking their sweet ass time with it.
I'm not very tech savvy, so I was wondering if you could post a tutorial, or a walkthrough of how you flashed CM10 onto your phone?
I can provide any information you might need, please let me know
I managed to get it to boot once but other attempts have been unsuccesfull. I sent RAZR V device info to whirleyes the developer of BMM and hopefully he can improve compatibility.
At the moment the only thing working properly is flashing zips. I've soft bricked my phone several times this week and I'm about to go on vacation for a month so i might try out again when I get back.
In guess the good thing about a locked boot loader is that it is almost impossible to fully brick
At the moment its trial and error sorry, I'm not sure how I got it to boot the first time and also camera and SD card didn't work.

Guys ,the JElly BEan update for the XT885 in China is rolling out. I have downloaded the update but scared maybe it might brick my phone when i flash it. I want to know how different the Chinesse version is from the Canadian version. Can i just flash the update and change the language settings later on. And also clearly the update file is named in English having the abbreviation "en" in the name of the file. Do you guys feel its safe to flash
I'm not sure but I do know once you go to jb you cant go back. Where did you download it from? Have you got a link?

Hi everyone,
I was wondering it it's possible to install the Motorola RAZR/RAZR MAXX (GSM) CyanogenMod 10.1 on my Motorola RAZR V X885?
I checked that both devices have the same specs.
The version that I want to try to install is the RC5. I would post the link, but, "ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages". hahaha
Do u think I will get some trouble with this?
Thanks!

I was thinking exactly about doing the same thing, but I'm concern about using a ICS kernel with a JB rom. We should first try to flash a JB kernel. But I'm a bit loss with SafeStrap. Has anyone been able to boot something else in Slot 2+ ? I've tried to copy my existing system over these slot and it doesn't work. But I guess it has something to do with the kExec thing.
You can't do so. Your bootloader only allows you to install the system with the same signature. It won't pass the signature check to boot unless you backup and wipe mmcblk1p16(cid)

Hello Razr people,
I have Chinese Razr maxx with Blur_Version.67.213.6.XT910.ChinaRetail.en.CN.zip OTA installed.
CDT might have been 5. But still I managed to root with a chinese root method.
Everything was fine until I went outside China.
None of the sim cards I tried were working. And in China, apart from China Telecom, everything else was working.
So I thought, maybe I should try the GSM patch with the magic code patch given in XDA in some other thread.
Hence I went into BMM recovery, installed the patch. rebooted the phone.
And it didn't start at all for like 30 minutes. It was stuck with M logo and blinking every now and then.
Hence, I decided to factory reset from stock recovery. Still it's the same.
And now I think I cannot flash it back to JB, as it was an OTA, and there's no firmware for flashing.
as CDT might have gone higher, I can't even go back to ICS.
I am new to all this, but I have spent a lot of time in reading all this info and now I'm stuck wondering what can i do if JB with higher CDT got bricked?
Please Please guys, I really need help with this,
Thank you very very much in advance. I really really appreciate it.

Thanks. However, I was wondering can I still flash the ICS fastboot after having the JB OTA installed that too with higher CDT?
I still have BMM coming when I boot the phone.
So I am afraid of fastbooting the ICS file and loosing even BMM.
Please let me know what do you think is the best option?
A
1. Flash ICS flastboot of Chinaretail.
2. Upgrade via the zip file of the 4.0.4 OTA
3. Update via zip to ChinaRetail JB 4.1.2
or
B
1. Install a custom rom like AOKP on 2nd rom/system slot (Will it work though?)
Thank you very much.

In ya case i believe both method are wrong and wont work on ya razr .
For first method :
Just flash the appropriate china fastboot via rsd and then apply jellybean ota.zip from stock recovery .
Ya don't have to flash ics ota.zip ,just fastboot would work to update ya phone to jellybean
Second method :
Ya can't install akop or cm10 unless ya not on jellybean .
So first update ya phone to jellybean and then root (if root exploit is available for Chinese jellybean ) ,
Install ss or bmm ,
Partition and install custom roms on 2nd or 3rd slot

Hey man,
Thanks a ton. I got AOKP 4.2.2. JB installed in slot 2 and it's working flawlessly.
However, I cannot access the network provider. So there is no mobile network.
My phone is unlocked.
Another strange thing is that, in the settings menu, the IMEI number is 000000000 ...
Now that is not possible as far as I know.
Any idea as to what I can do to get the network and make phone calls?
Thanks again for all your help.

Hey man, I tried to install the baseband from the previous OTA that was on my phone ... and another Baseband from Chinese JB Fastboot.
However, still no network or no imei.
I am currently in India, so does it mean I will have to find an indian baseband?
Also, AOKP is installed via BMM in rom slot system 2.
Can that be a problem?
I was wondering if I tried to flash with a Chinese JB fastboot via RSDLite, will it flash through properly?
Cause then at least I can send my phone to motorola and ask them about the network issue.
Thanks so much though. Seriously. You are a saviour.

No ya don't have to flash Asian retail jellybean ota beacause ya are on Chinese kernel ,ya may stuck on fastboot if ya flash Asian retail on ya razr unless ya don't erase ya cid .
I just can't understand why ya getting network issue even after flashing all the baseband. Damn !!
Try to flash Indian baseband it may help ya .
Nah flashing any custom rom on another slot doesn't affect stock slot at all akop or cm10 is not the issue .
Edit : flashing different region kernel and bricking ya phone and send it to service centre wont help ya at all beacsue they ll come to know that ya tried to flash it illegally so ya warranty no more void . As ya saying ya in India and using Chinese xt910 ,service centre ll not accept it so ya need to go back to China and give it there for fix

Hello all,
I need your help to unbrick my Droid Razr xt910, Initially I flashed my phone with "SPDREM_U_01.6.7.2-180_SPU-19-TA-11.6_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRICSRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml" which is EU ICS and applied the JB OTA "Blur_Version.672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU" and everything was good atleast for an year, Since my bootloader is locked, I installed Safestrap 3.x and created additional ROM slot to try Cyanogenmod 11 and it worked perfectly as well. The problem started when i wanted to try CM 12, since it required Safestrap 3.75, i wanted to upgrade it, but my bad, unfortunately I installed it on the ROM slot and my phone crashed and cannot boot the phone normally or into Recovery mode, everything is screwed and i have been struggling for days to unbrick my phone, but no luck so far, Could some one please point me the right approach to unbrick my phone?
When i tried to flash the boot image from the Stock ICS package i have, i get the below error.
D:\temp\Android\Europe ICS\extract> eprj-mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (8192 KB)... OKAY [ 1.020s]
