I have the XT910 RAZR (GSM) running on gingerbread (rooted) and I tried installing CWM Recovery (Black Edition- this is the only one I could find) and upon booting into recovery, I cant see any options. I can see the CWM logo and I guess its black text on a black background. Hence I cant see anything.
I want to install MIUI Android ICS on my RAZR and kindly provide me the simplest steps to do that. I'm used to my Samsung phones and its the first time I'm trying a motorola.
Once again, I'm on rooted Gingerbread and I want to install MIUI ICS. I need step by step instructions on how to do this as I'm not able to understand the guides provided.
Thanks in advance.

To install MIUI ICS, you need to go to stock ICS 4.0.4 first.
Step 1. Going to stock ICS 4.0.4
Here is how to install ICS 4.0.4 to your Razr XT910 with very simple instructions,
http://www.droidevelopers.com/showt...ia-Retail-amp-ME-Retail-ICS-Firmware-download
Now your phone is on ICS 4.0.4, and you need to root it.
Step 2. Rooting
Here is a root tool for ICS 4.0.4,
DON'T forget to check "usb debugging mode" (Go to settings> developer options> usb debugging and check it)
also go to settings> security and privacy> check unknown sources.
and root with this tool
http://dlhg.eternityproject.eu/mtspyder/eprj/pedro/EPRJ_EasyRootICS_MultiOS_v1.2.zip
If your phone is successfully rooted,
Download MIUI ICS http://files.miuiandroid.com/2.8.24/miuiandroid_umts_spyder-2.8.24.zip
and copy it to your ext-sdcard.
Go to step 3.
Step 3. Installing CWM recovery
Download CWM here http://www.mediafire.com/?rd6a34zxr81hvfx
and install it like the way you install a normal apk.
Step 4. Wiping Data/ Factory Reset
Run RazrTouchBlack,then click Install Clockworkmod Touch (It will say Success > OK)
Click Reboot CWM touch.
Your phone will restart to CWM recovery,and
Click Wipe data / factory reset
Step 5. Flashing MIUI
From CWM recovery menu,
choose install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard and choose miuiandroid_umts_spyder-2.8.24.zip ,
it starts flashing and wait to finish.
After complete flashing,go to advanced > Wipe Dalvik cache and reboot your phone.
[OPTIONAL]
If your phone got a bootloop,
1. Turn off phone
2. Hold both Volume Up & Volume Down then press power button
3. When you see RED MOTOROLA logo, wait 5 seconds
4. Now press both Volume Up & Volume Down button
5. Now use Volume Down button to scroll and use Volume Up button to confirm selection
6. Select Recovery
7. Use Volume Up / Volume Down to scroll
8. Use Power button to confirm selection
9. Wipe cache
10. Wipe data/factory reset
11. Reboot
That's all.
Now your phone is on MIUI ICS.
Remember!!! MIUI don't use SuperSU nor Superuser.
Permission manager was used instead of SuperSU and Superuser.
Whenever you installed an application, you need to switch on "I trust this application".
Goodluck...:good:

Hello, I need some help trying to install the 1.9 ROM. I just purchased a Dell streak coming from an Iphone. Because of a deteriorating eye condition the big screen is a blessing. I bought it used on ebay. It originally had stock 1.6 which i upgraded to stock 2.2 (340) by downloading and running the pkg file. It was very easy to do. Im an att customer this is the relevant information regarding my version of 2.2 .
Version 2.2
Baseband GAUSB1A134031-US
Kernel 2.6.32.9
Build 14844
I have read through these forums extensively particularly the "how to" forums for days. After reading all the various variations for upgrading the rom (my phone lags and i want to see if the rom upgrade will fix this) I developed what I though was the proper procedure for installing 1.9. These are the steps i followed:
1. Install Android Drivers
2. Enter Fastboot mode
3. Installed Clockword Mod Recvery
4. Loaded the install txt file and 1.9 zip file on root of sd card.
5. Flashed the Clockword Mode Recovery IMG using fastboot. Fastboot said recovery was "done"
6. Rebooted.
7. Went into recovery mode by pressing Volume UP and Down and power button
8. Chose option 2 upgrade from SD card.
now its my understanding that doing so was supposed to take me to the clockmod recovery screen which would then give me the option of upgrading from the zip file. Instead I get a message in light blue which says in part
"Android System recovery utility GAUSb1a134031
To perform emergency software recovery you will need to insert SD card"
I then pull the battery and reboot and it boots up fine into the stock 2.2.
Now the question is what am i doing wrong. Im thinking that maybe its the baseband? and that I need to flash a new baseband. If anyone can help it with some guidance it would be much appreciated.
3.
Once you flash Clockwork you cannot let it boot. The OS will over-rite Clockwork. As soon as you flash Clockwork, hold both volume buttons down while it is rebooting. Selet option 2 and you should get the Clockwork menu.
Thank you i will give that a try
Didnt work. I do the fastboot recovery flash which it indicates is done. I then give the flashboot reboot command As soon as it starts rebooting i hit the volume up and down and power buttons but it still reboots into stock 2.2. I don't even get the recovery screen
Fuigured it out i only needed tto hold the volume buttons. Now im there thanks again
Hmm, you should be getting a recovery menu either way. The only thing I can think of is to try and hold both volume and power buttons down at the same time. This is how I normally access the recovery menu when not flashing the reboot comand. If thats not it, may be an issue with the recovery image. Have you considered StreakMod Recovery?

Help!! i bought sgs2 recently. i had a samsung android phone earlier too.. i am familiar with flashing and all those stuffs but this **** is new
so i flashed a kernel with cwm (cf root) and tried to install cm7.1 via cwm
but it is stuck now on the initial samsung galaxy s2 screen with an exclamation mark.
so can anyone tell.. do i have any other options rather than flashing another firmware?

help please! and i hope my phone is software bricked not hardware bricked right? i can recover from this right?? and how to get back the warrranty any idea?
I need help desparately.. someone here please help me! i am looking forward to hear from you guys!!!
Install via ClockworkMod (do not use ROMManager for initial install):
Make sure you're running a rooted device.
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1118693)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery.
Do not reboot! We mean it - do nothing except choose zip and continue next step (if you come back to us with permission issues in install, we will know you did not read the directions and will call you an idiot). If it just plain hangs, reboot directly back into ClockworkMod recovery and continue at the next step.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery, again (due to a bug in the install).
Reboot
Install the Google Addon through ROMManager which is easiest, but you can
download the gapps.zip and install via ClockworkMod recovery instead.

Hi.
This is my first thread.
I bought this phone about a week with JB 4.2 from CLARO and I tried to install 4.4 KITKAT from cyanogenmod (spyder - snapshot M5).
First (again) I followed this intructions http://true-android.blogspot.com/2014/01/update-motorola-droid-razr-xt910-to.html
Obviously, I make a big mistake (I confused bootloader with recovery mode).
So, in the 3rd. step I reboot the XT910 in recovery (bootloader manager):
I'm not be able to complete the 5th. step because bootloader doesn't have Wipe Dalvik Cache.
Later, the phone doesn't work, doesn't power on, every time it showed "AP flashboot mode" and the battery go down.
Then I could charged the battery, and tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2372614
This thread explain 3 steps.
Then, reboot the phone and I got a "CUSTOMER ID ERROR" (every time to power on "normally", the phone works but only if I choose BP TOOLS)... I can't install Hjihack (3rd. step) because I need to be rooted.
Later (again), I found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257137&page=3
But just stays on "daemon started successfully" and never does the rest.
In USB configuration window, can choose XT910 [0216], but when the program started, I can see 2 options of XT910 [0216] on USB MENU
What can I do to:
Install KITKAT
or
Be rooted with JB 4.1

If you bricked, use the fastboot and recover back to 4.1 and try again. Make sure you only install one safestrap, preferably safestrap 3.7.x detailed in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2427125
Don't install the safestrap version detailed in http://droidrazrroot.com, that version is too old to run KK.
KK requires TWRP 2.7.x.x or higher or for our purposes safestrap 3.7.x or higher

Re: Answer
Hi.
On stock? if you mean original SO / android version (CLARO operator)?
Answer= No!! When I bought the phone, it was Ice Cream or JB (don't remember)... but I flash it with 4.1.2 from T-Mobile.
Phone bricked?
Answer= I have read many threads / posts (english-spanish)... And I think have "soft bricked"
My phone works, can make calls, can navigate in internet, can play games.
But I just turn on pressing ON/OFF + VOL UP (wait signal on screen) and later VOL DOWN
and choosing BP TOOLS.
I wish to fix that.
PSDT: I missed CID backup file. What can I do?

Hey guys I'm trying to install the Themed ROM for P769 Locked bootloader. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2468880) I have the phone rooted from awhile back, i cant recall what i used to root it, the phone is still on 4.0.4, I am trying to put a recovery on it to install this ROM, but I dont see any recoveries for 4.0.4, I've seen a few different ones for JB but I'm not sure if its compatible.
This is the recovery it said to install (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095825) but the issue is that the link to the recovery was taken down, so I'm not sure what recovery I can install.
TLDR: I got a rooted T769 on 4.0.4 and i would like to install the themed ROM for T769 with Locked BL.

I'm guessing you mean that you have a P769 T-Mobile version.
Here is a link to the L9 Recovery Installer - https://www.dropbox.com/s/l8tegpmiyh8moa5/L9RecoveryInstaller_1.5.0.apk
Since your already rooted, just make sure that you download and install BusyBox by stericson from the playstore, before installing the L9 recovery installer. It needs BusyBox installed on your device for it to work properly.
Download the Kumakan themed ROM to your external sdcard.
Open the BusyBox app and click on and select the version of BusyBox to install to the device and select version 1.21.0 to install.
Then install the L9 recovery installer app. Open the app and select "Install recovery" then select "jb/ics stable version", then grant it root rights through SuperSU when asked for permission.
Once it says recovery is installed, select power down/reboot the device. After the phone starts to boot up you'll see your front keys blinking this means you have recovery success and to enter into recovery immediately press and hold volume(-) down button while lights are still blinking... You are now in recovery mode. I would highly recommend that you immediately preform a nandroid backup of your L9 right now before doing anything else. Select backup and restore, choose backup and choose backup to external sdcard.
Once the nandroid backup is done then you are free to flash the Kumakan themed ROM that you want to install. Just follow the directions from the ROM thread to install the ROM.

Sorry for the late reply!
Did you make a nandroid backup when you installed and booted recovery?
If so, all you have to do is just reboot to recovery and restore your nandroid backup and you'll be back in businesses.
Hey all
I am considering purchasing RCA Pro 10 tablet that runs Android 4.4. From the research I did on XDA for it I was able to find that it can be rooted using Kingo. But I couldn't find any mention of a custom recovery that can support it. As you know we need the custom recovery to flash ROMs and such. Anyone know of any custom recovery that will work with this tablet?
Thanks
it hasent been rooted yet the 4.4 one which is the one walmart had on black friday is differen t some how then the orginal the connectors are in different places and the modle number is different kingo does not work
I rooted mine but it was a jumbled mess of a process. First install SuperSU, then install and run iroot, afyer that using pdanet drivers plug it into your computer and use kango, open SuperSu and update your binary, finally use a root browser and remove the app iroot installed. Iroot installs the su binary but doesnt set anything up properly, kango will set everything up but cant install the files needed for some reason so you have to use them together. Its messy but it works.
I got 2of the new of the rca pro 10 edition with the 1.5 GHz quad core m/n rct6203w46 the easyist way to root it is plug it in your PC let it download the drivers download pdanet on your PC see if there's more drivers 4 it download Kingo root set tab to USB debuging open kingo root plug in tab to USB kingo root will find it click root it will go through a few steps it will ask if u have a special kernal choose other opt it will restart tab few times and it will say its rooted and install super su if not click root again then it should be rooted restart tab after it says rooted keep attached to PC it will say root status yes then should be 2 options remove root and root again hope this helps you guys who bought the new one on black Friday big plus it never deleted Aney apps app data pics music ect and you don't need SD chip for it ... as far as a custom kernal / recovery i have no idea sorry regarden that

Sargeue,
Using the link I supplied, I downloaded (using my PC) the TWRP image from the last link PaTF provided. I copied the TWRP image over to my tablet. Then using the link mexicandroid provided to the Rashr flash tool on Google Play, I installed it and followed the instructions in the app to flash the TWRP image to my tablet and voila!, I had a custom recovery.
I can also verify everything works in TWRP, such as backup and restore, wipe menu, etc. No custom ROMS available that I know of, so did not try to flash any ROM.
Of note: If you allow an update to the RCA firmware, you will need to re-flash TWRP as the firmware update overwrites the custom recovery.
Hope this helps.

Great, will try it out. Really don't need custom rom, just like having nandroid backup. Thanks for you help!
Perfect! Worked great, easiest recovery I installed to this date. Thanks for your help again Droidify.
Thanks to the thread maker. I knew a lot with this thread.
Thanks
Thanks to Patf for posting the files, Sargeue for asking Droidify to elaborate, and Droidify for elaborating I was able to do this with no problem. This wasn't my first time rooting, and I've flashed a cfw that already had a custom recovery on it which rooted a device( don't know if thats particularly considered rooting), but I think this was the first time I flashed a custom recovery. The TWRP recovery boots just fine how it should and everything works if the instructions are followed. Thanks a bunch guys. I had already got an update prior to this and I am not sure nor do I remember what it exactly was. Its the only update I've got since I had the tablet. I still attempted this, so it was risky, but never the less everything went fine.
Hi all! I somehow soft bricked my RCA tab after updating to an OTA. Anyone have a nandroid backup of the stock ROM? Thanks!
Same problem here. OTA update screwed it up looking for help.
RCA RCT6203W46 1.9.50 firmware upgrade failures
Below is the method I found to resolve the issue I had with the most recent firmware upgrade failing. Use at your own risk.
How to resolve RCA RCT6203W46 1.9.50 firmware upgrade failures (this should also unbrick your device provided you can access stock recovery):
1. Place these 1.3.51 and 1.9.50 update zip files on your external sdcard. If you can only boot into recovery, you will need to eject the sdcard and use an alternative method to transfer these files from your PC to the sdcard and then place the card back into your tablet.
2. Boot into stock recovery. You can do this from a powered off state by simultaneously depressing the power and volume buttons until the white RCA boot screen appears. Once this screen appears, release the power button but REMAIN DEPRESSING THE VOLUME BUTTON until you are in recovery.
3. Select: Wipe cache partition. (use the volume button to move selection up or down, press the power button to make selection)
*Factory reset wipes cache too in step 4, but I am cautious.
4. Select: Wipe data/factory reset. Warning: you will lose any app you had installed.
5. Select: apply update from sdcard. Select the 1.3.51 zip file. Allow it to complete.
6. Select: apply update from sdcard. Select the 1.9.50 zip file. Allow it to complete.
7. Select: reboot system now.
8. Enjoy your upgraded RCA RCT6203W46 once again!
Probable causes for issue:
Rooted system (forgot to unroot prior to upgrade)
Removed or froze any stock app (including Vudu, Walmart, etc)
Modified a system file (build.prop, etc)
Bad luck
installation aborted...
Hello! I just did this guide but it didn't work. I always get Installation Aborted with Step 5 and Step 6 both of them are Aborted. I followed carefully your guide but still no good for my tab. I uploaded the two installation aborted message from android recovery. The first photo is when i update the firmware 1.3.51.zip and the second photo is installation aborted too when i update the firmware to 1.9.50.zip... Please see those photos if you can see what it made to abort the installation process. I hope you can help Droidify. And also, when i rooted my tab pro 10, i only remove the Vudu app and another app that was included but not the Walmart app...
Did not work for me...

First of all Thank You for trying to help, you are doing more that Walmart & RCA combined.
I followed your instructions and this process did not work for me. I have attached pictures of my screen after using both zip files...
Also I only rooted the tablet using Kingo I didn't remove any system apps
I think a key difference in my case is that I had TWRP installed and was able to boot into the system and unroot, install stock recovery, and then perform this procedure. Seems like you guys never had TWRP installed as recovery. I have a couple other tricks I am working on, but be patient as I vet them and see if something might work. Sorry this didn't work for you guys!
Any updates on this?

No didn't use TWRP.
My tab is only 20 days old & still under warranty so I'm just going to send it back to RCA.
Was hoping to fix it myself so I wouldn't have to wait 4-6 weeks.

Unfortunately, I'm boned as far as returning it goes because rooting voids your warranty.

Well then there is no sense for me to keep trying to resolve this considering I have no way to test fixes, especially if what I posted resolved my particular case. I did send someone a test to try and if that is successful I will share, but outside of that I tried guys.
I guess the lesson learned here is that we all have to remember to unroot and not delete the apps that came with the device, only freeze them using Titanium or similar and unfreeze them before updating.
