All right, so I rooted my Verizon Droid Razr Xt912 using droidrazrroot.com. Anyways. When I installed safestrap I made a full backup of the stock rom/system or whatever you call it. Now I want to go back to stock rom, unrooted. What is the step I should take? Restore the stock rom, uninstall safestrap delete all safestrap directories, go to super user and click full unroot? does that seem right? thanks guys.
Yeah, that should do it.

If you want to be guaranteed full stock, the Best way is to fastboot back to stock with the latest fastboot file.

Wife has a Razr MAXX through Verizon. I have previously rooted it and frozen some Bloat, but aside from that, it is stock. Android 2.3.6 and System ver 6.12.181.XT912.
Recently, the phone started getting Software update notifications, I am assuming this is the OTA ICS. My question is if I can somehow upgrade the phone to ICS (not a custom ROM, but stock or very stock-ish) and either not have to wipe the phone, or not have to unroot and the re-root (if that is even possible on ICS yet.)
Loaded questions, sorry, but I just want my wife to experience ICS without her b*tching about custom ROMs and so I can backup her APK+Data in Titanium.
Thanks in advance of your responses!

Well, I decided to bite the bullet and just did a complete App/Data backup and flashed the Fastboot ICS files using RSD Lite. So far, it looks like things went well and I will root it and restore. Sorry for creating this thread, I guess I am too antsy!
on ota JB Leak OTA stock.
using safestrap 3.11
rooted.
Yesterday my sound on razr maxx stopped working. Sound profile was up all the way and could make phone calls but speaker was not working.
I read I needed to restore my backup of rom because of the sound problem.
when I restored the system to the stock it would get past safestrap but then it would just blackscreen and vibrate once.
My backup did not work at all on the stock partition. I even tried a factory reset, clearing everything, cache, dalvik, system, etc and it still wouldn't restore.
So then I decided to create another rom slot and try to restore my backup it worked perfectly without an issue and booted right up.
Keep in mind this is with the stock ota jb release, not another version.
My question is how do I get the stock partition back. I tried reflashing the ota update but it needs the ics rom to update. Is there a jelly bean ota that doesn't verify the partition before installing?
Thanks a million!!!
Use this: JB xt912 unbrick utility
then use Razr Blade Root Exploit to gain root again
start all over with ss 3.11
I cannot get my phone into recovery. It will not go back to recovery so I can flash the rom. It just sits there with the android guy laying down for about 3 minutes then doesn't do anything and I have to reset it.

You have to press vol+ and vol- at the Dame time to get the recovery menu to come up after you see the Android guy laying on his back

You just need to follow this guide exactly

Hey guys,
This question may have been asked already, but I had no luck in searching for it so forgive me if it has.
I need to return my Razr Maxx to stock and unroot so that I can get rid of it as I just upgraded a couple days ago.
A few notes first:
Stock rom is on latest OTA.
I am currently on Safestrap 3.11.
I have CM 10.2 in rom slot1.
I also have the JBX kernel.
I know that latter two don't really matter, but I believe after reading that the way to go about this is to :
1. Switch to un-safe mode (aka activate stock rom)
2. Load up stock and open safestrap and tell it to un-install.
3. Remove safestrap apk.
4. Unroot
I've also read that I could just use Matt's utility to flash the stock firmware back onto the phone, but will this remove the recovery as well? Please advise, thanks.
You can try either method.
Though in my opinion, using Matt's utility is better coz it reflashes your stock ROM and cleans everything.

So by clean everything, does that include removing the recovery?
It will not remove the stock recovery.
But it will remove Safestrap.

Model xt912 Razr Maxx "verizon"
I used "razr_blade_zip" to root phone. Followed instructions and worked fine. Then installed "safestrap" 3.65. Then went to recovery mode and created a back-up. Then installed cm11-20131126 unofficial-spyder and google app package. Rebooted and everything worked well. I did notice cell signal was low. After I installed a few basic rooted apps to increase network speed like "example Faster Gps". Still so far so good. Here is when things went wrong. After reading about SuperSu I decided to install it and missed a step. I ended up unrooting my in phone. I can't use Safestrap to install back-up. I'm not sure what a hard reset will do. I have googled issue but no real answer on fixing this. Thanks for any help!!!!!
Did you install CM on stock slot?
Assuming you did.
You can't restore stock backup to the stock slot.
That's a limitation with SS.

Find and download Matt's Utility to your PC. I'm sure it has a thread on this forum somewhere. Your going to have to do a complete reset on your phone most likely, but if you follow the instructions you should be able to get back to stock jellybean again and start over.
Thanks for the response

No I installed CM 11 on ROM 1. I left the stock ROM alone. I just can't get back to Safestrap because I no longer rooted. Overall phone is working great. But I still want the option to unroot if needed. Thanks for any feedback!
My wife and I both have original Droid Razrs (XT912). We just switched to T-mobile (with new phones) and she was reading about switching phones and she read where you should do a full factory reset to clear personal data...and, she did.
The problem is, I had her phone rooted and have Safestrap installed. So, now we have a phone that is not rooted, but still has Safestrap installed.
The good things are that it is no longer a daily driver and the phone still works fine.
My question: since the phone is no longer rooted (tried VooDoo...no dice...backup was gone), is there a good way to do a full restore of the phone to factory and remove Safestrap, so the phone is back to full factory?
I am including a screenshot of the phone information.
Thanks.
My stock rom on my razr shows I lost root back in Nov but I have cm 10 on rom slot 2 and the root checker app shows full root access but I cant install updates so im interested in a restore also, the droid razr utility was my go to for these issues but ive moved to a new device so im not sure if there is an update

Use Matt's utility. Find it in the Dev section. You can flash stock JB 4.1.2 with it. It will revert your phone to stock.

Matt's Utility did the trick.
