So I'm about to get a GSM DROID RAZR and its asiaretail etc....question. I'll be using my straight talk att sim. Will I get 3g? Will I be able to flash custom ROMs etc? What will I need for stock firmware and rsd files? Sorry for the questions but I'm in america and coming from a Galaxy Nexus Gsm so I need to get the basics down. Thanks

Is the droid thread dead or just slow? Lol. I was excited about getting it.......

The answer is yes. It also wouldn't hurt to look into the Dev forum a little deeper and to look up the phone's specs to answer your questions.

Well I think I figured out the RSD side of it. I had a Motorola Atrix 2 at one point so that's not too new but I know there's so many versions of the RAZR and didn't want to screw up any

Coming from the nexus to a Droid RaZr will mean you have little to worry about. The phone has many aspects which are similar to the nexus like software buttons and a very much stock like overlay. I know that the phone has a lot of support all over the web, not as much as the nexus, but enough.
The Motorola itself has a specialized forum on XDA where everything generic like that will be discussed. Try not to get overwhelmed with excitement or enthusiasm becuase the phone may turn out to be less than your high expectations. I share that anticipation when I am getting a new device. That being said, it is a great device.
As a side bit of advice, do not rush into flashing and modding without reading. It will always end in tears. [BRICK].
Hope you enjoy the phone.
Hit Thanks If I helped.
Just be careful with fastboot files. Make sure you only flash the asiaretail fastboot files that work with your phone or you'll end up with a paperweight.
Appreciate all the input fellas but I recently.got.rid of it kinda miss it but oh well

So my brother got a limited edition red and black RAZR maxx so it looks like I will be here as well as the Rezound forums . I have never had a motor phone before so I might ask some questions. Any major differences from HTC phones?

Lots of differences, most of them for the worse. Welcome to the world of locked bootloaders, regional signatures, and easy bricking.
On the plus side, that kevlar back is still pretty *****in'.

So in your opinion it's fairly easy to brick a RAZR? I understand if you flash cdma rom but I have not seen anyone bricking it?

I'm guessing he means soft-bricking? It's pretty darn easy to do that though. Hard brick, not so much. I once wiped /system and accidentally turned off my phone. Still managed to restore it.
Anyway, welcome to the Razr community. Look around, get your bearings, and start flashing random stuff. My advice? Not everything can be found on xda. So try looking around in other forums and stuff.

I will thanks. Are there serious problems of you end up flashing a gsm rom to a cdma phone or if you flash back will they be fixed? I also thanks everyone for the awesome welcome to the forums
Also, I think phone manufacturer's have perpusly made it hard to brick phones. I know someone one the Rezound forums tried to before we had s-off and couldn't

The only way that would happen is if you dont read the rom thread. These roms are split out between cdma and gsm. I havent seen one that didnt specify which phone it was for.

Hello all! OG Evo user here, I have been given the task of rooting my boss's phone.
My first obstacle is that I see three different 'android development' sections. Galaxy S II, Galaxy S II original, and I9100S (might have got that wrong, I'm on my phone!). I see no stickies that explain this.. is it carrier specific? She has US Cellular. This leads me to my next question.
Does her carrier matter? I don't need some sort of US Cellular specific file do I? Not flashing any roms, I just want root so we can clean up her system and tether.
Last question, is clockworkmod recovery worth two craps on this phone? Cause on the OG Evo it's worthless. The only ones worth using on my phone are AmonRA and variants of it.
Thanks guys!

First thing you do is look at the sticker on the chassis of the phone under the battery & report the details back here. We don't do/tell you anything until you've done that.

Yes. All of it.
Reason being, I'm not going to be the person who tells you to do X assuming you have SGS2 variant A when in fact you have SGS2 variant B & doing X could brick the phone (I'm using X, A & B as examples; they're not literal).

If all you're shooting for is root access, try Superoneclick. Always worked for me.
You need to have ADB on the 'puter and the phone in debug mode.

One more thing. If I'm right about the model, then definitely don't flash anything from this forum, as this is the forum for the i9100, which is a different model phone
Hi all.
My wife's phone recently played out for the third time within a year (D2). When they replaced it this time they sent her a completely different phone.
Well she liked my DX2 better so I got the other (sam strat) phone. I had planned on moving to another phone in the not so distant future but looks like I got moved sooner then I thought. (Still gonna get a different phone in the near future)
The DX2 community on here is incredible, and I am sure that goes without saying and everyone of you guys and gals know that! I will miss my phone and the community but it's time to move on I suppose. I wish you all the best, I am sure I will stop in from time to time to check up on things.
DK, your an awesome Dev. and I think more so then that you seem to be a super guy from what one can get to know someone else through communicating over the internet / forums. Thanks man for all your time and effort!
GL all.
Don't be a stranger and be sure to stop in from time to time. When I got my Gnex, the thought crossed my mind that I may not frequent the DX2 community as much. But I just can't let it go. Other areas here on XDA just don't offer what is abundant here. By far the best on the web, hands down.
Best of luck in your future endeavors...neighbor!

Guess I will see you over on rootzwiki then? They have a forum for the Stratosphere. Rooting+flashing isn't so bad once you learn how to use odin. It's definitly a lot easier rooting the x2, but oh well. Still stuck with 2 or 3 roms too which are all tweaked versions of stock because the radio interface layer is locked by samsung. They say we're supposed to get ICS(only reps, no official updates), but won't give out any dates or anything. Oh well.
I reccommend tweaked 2.2. Pretty awesome!

Yeah Roy I am over there. Got my phone rooted and frosted... lol No ROM or Kernel yet, just not sure if I want to go there, if I did it would deffiently be the Tweaked 2.2.
Thanks to everyone for the kind words, I will try and stop in from time to time and I will always lend a hand if I can.
Thx.
Going to start a ROM bounty here.
Plain and simple i love the idea of the ROM and would like to see a stable build for us.
Bounty will be played upon dev completing a stable build with no major bugs (ie. cell/data/3g,late working/MMS,GPS etc)
I know this can be done and would love to do it if i had the skill sets or the time.
Here's an idea for anyone interested or would like to know specifically what I'm talking about

I manages to get data working with some edits but no one can get cell service ie. Phone calls to work even when using an alternate dialer like exdialer. Simply says dialing and never goes through.

I'll clear the bounty now, however as a developer I will still keep updating the Verizon builds as well. The thing is some stuff will not work so wait for Samsung to release the N10.1 LTE which is due soon on Verizon. How does that sound?

Ive also had a incredible and a tbolt, so im used to sense and dont mind it. Once i figure out a phone, i really enjoy helping others. Looking forward to being a productive member in these forums.
