Pardon me if this is a noob question. I am new to Android. I have recently restored back my Razr to stock using RSD lite. After that I used EternityProject's EasyRootICS package to root my Razr. The rooting went fine and I checked thereafter with Root Checker and found that my Razr was rooted. However on installing CWM Touch installing the recovery and trying to reboot into recovery, my Razr gives me the first moto screen and then goes black. I am now unable install any custom ROM but have to be stuck with the stock one, which runs buggy for me. Please help.
Dont use the cwm touch. Its a mistake.
Get safestrap 2 or bootmenu instead.
Cheers

Hi All,
New to the XDA forums and newly rooted my Droid Razr Maxx on 2.3.6.
I've followed the instructions for installing the CWM Recovery as highlighted here, but am running into troubles. I have moved both the .apk and .zip onto SD, installed the .apk but when doing the reboot it reboots normally and doesn't give me an option to install from .zip. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong here?

Find the safe strap apk for the RAZR online, download, install, install recovery.
DROID RAZR MAXX
You access CWM recovery from within the app tray. Click on the Razor Bootstrap icon, click the Bootstrap Recovery, get success and then click the Reboot Recovery.
Thanks for the help guys I was able to get it working using the Safestrap.apk
Any suggestions on good ROMs for the Razr? And guides? I'm kind of new to this scene, I just kept my old Droid 2 stock and slow.
Hi, I've been having problems with CWM.
I was trying to install a custom rom, but I can't get the custom recovery to work...
I've tried RAZR Bootstrap Recovery, bootmenu manager, and Rom Manager.
With Bootstrap Recovery the screen goes Black and stays black forever.
With the other two, the phone just restarts without going to CWM...
I have already formated the phone every way possible (I think), but everytime I try to install a Custom Rcovery, I always fail
I have ICS (676.226.3.en.EU) on my RAZR (XT910), and root...
Someone told me about the preinstall folder, but I didn't understand.
I'm sorry, but I'm used to Samsung, and the RAZR is way more difficult to customize...
Thanks in advance :good:

Hi guys,
I have problem like this on my stock GB rom (RAZR XT-910 - 2.3.6).
After rooting and installing Razr Touch Bootstrap, device rebooted into recovery but screen is VERY dark (I can see the logo and some text over logo).
Also software appears to be functional - just tried randomly touch the screen in region where the "menu" should be and entered one of the option and screen was OK, but I don't want wipe everything accidentally .
I saw number of people had same problem with different phones on old Recovery versions but no normal solution.
Thanks for your help.
goodnight
Today I did root my motorola razr and installed the bootloader,
So far so good,
when I gave the reboot recovery and installed another rom the phone no longer starts
and not enter the recovey.
I do not know what to do.
who shall not have to install the recovery through the moto-fast?
so i was given a moto photon and it was already updated to 2.3.5.... so i know i can't unlock it.... but i was reading and i was able to install superusers, and i verified i had root with root checker and it says its good.... my question is can i still install a rom i was wanting beanstalk, but im not sure if i can install a rom with a locked bootloader. I tried to get into recovery via power and volume down go to android recovery it loads a droid with a triangle and an explanation point. i have tried to install cwm and twrp... but neither one will let me enter into recovery. to install a rom. am i doing something wrong. or i just cant install a rom due to being locked down

You are stuck with 2.3.5 ROMS loaded through bootstrap.

You need bootstrap recovery and you can flash locked 2.3.5 roms like hybrid rom from peter_. Dont try roms like beanstalk or miui. It will brick your device

I rooted my Motorola Razr XT910 a couple of days ago. The root went fine, installing CWM Recovery went fine too, so did setting up a backup.
But when I installed a custom ROM (cm-10.2-20131016-NIGHTLY-umts_spyder.zip)
The installation all went according to plan until rebooting, according to the guide i could take up to 5mins but after 15mins it still hadn't rebooted. It loads as far as the first flash screen with the "dual-core" motorola logo then disappears. And I can't load into Recovery mode.
Any help would be LOTS appreciated!
When a flash fails, you get stuck in a bootloop. Usually it doesn't block off your recovery, but if fastboot works alright you could reflash twrp/cwm on it. Then, just boot into recovery and restore your backup/try a different ROM.
