Hi all, I'm planning on rooting my Razr Maxx, it's stock except for the 215 patch, here's what I've downloaded so far:
Which Artic to use?
ArticHD 0.10
Artic 2. 215
Blue KB
Droid Utility 181 and 182
Moto Device manager 2.2.28
EPRJ easyroot ICE multo OS V 1.3
Razr safestrap 2.00 apk
signed_gapps-motoics-20120617
Am I headed in the right direction? - Thanks...
Yep, and sort of...
//If you are not in ICS, update to it
Root it. (I don't know the tool you're using, but if it is for RAZR, it's fine then..... if not use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342567)
Install Safestrap 3.05. (Safestrap 2.00 is way to old and buggy use the newest build by hashcode)
Downlod link:

Then, the rest is just deciding which rom to install. ArticHD is newer than Artic, but i think is based in CM10, so expect more bugs... Also I think development for Artic has stopped :S

I've rooted a couple phones and used a few ROMS. I'm having trouble with my DX2 installing Eclipse barebones. It gets hung up with installing the .zip in recovery with trying to install and it wont install. I eventually pull battery and restart. I'm currently running 2.3.4 that I spf'ed and rooted installed CWM and bootstrap. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

I would highly recommend the real eclipse versions. If you are wanting to stay on 2.3.4 eclipse 1.3 version from nitro is very stable. If you want to go to 2.3.5 version 2.03 is also very good and stable. No issues on Nitro's version. Also you can get the most current updates on eclipserom.com
The version Ace is playing with barebones is not really a rom it is a nanodroid of his own doing on top of Nitro's eclipse rom.
Ok, i know the information is out there but i simply can't find "the best" choices. Need a way to root my Motorola Razr MAXX and the best possible stable ROM, and nobody knows more about this than you guys I live in Denmark and using a GSM mobile so im very unsure what to flash.
I'm coming from a HTC Hero, which i rooted with RA and used various ROM's but mostly Cyanogen.
I just need to narrow down my available choices, i know that i can use stuff for the normal Razr so that's what i've been researching, and according to this Thread i have ALOT of choices, dunno if GB or ICS or whatever.
I'm thinking Eclipse, but i really don't know
Excuse my ignorance.
To root on .173-.181 you need Motofail, and yes I would say that Eclipse is probably the best ROM if you want a smooth, bug free experience.
I would also recommend Gummy and Black Widow they're both really awesome ICS ROMs'. Though I forgot if they have GSM patches or work for GSM.
I installed Motofail, Safestrap and Eclipse 1.3. But it doesn't boot, just a blank screen. Any idea wat do?
Maybe it's missing a GSM Patch.. Trying Black Widow instead, which i know needs GSM Patch
EDIT: Also blank screen with Black Widow What am i doing wrong?
I noticed that our current ref threads are terribly out of date, so I decided to create an updated one. I plan to keep updating this, so it should probably be stickied.

Excellent, thank you

Thanks, it has been needed for some time. The others seen to have been abandoned.
Thanks for this! Too bad I'm jumping ship as soon as the S3 gets here haha

Long over due!! Thanks for the work!
Slim!
I'll sticky this thread as it's the most up-to-date of the lot. For now, I'll leave the other threads stuck as well as between them they cover info that isn't in all of them.
Good work ultravioletnanokitty.
<removed because I obviously figured it out>
I'd like to 'clean house' before my next ROM flash and I wonder what's the best way to rid my int and ext sd's of un-necessary crapola. I've copied contents to my pc so I have all my pix, Tibu bkups, clockwork bkups, and items that I need. So can I just delete everything I see on the sd cards now through my PC? or are there files that I need to leave in place for the ROM to flash successfully? I guess what I'm worried about are Root utility apps and files like: Superuser, Busybox, etc. can I just delete all and those neccessary files are safely stored in the hidden system files? I know i can use Google backup for contacts, calender events, etc..
I'd Love to see a guide on "preparing your byte zones for a happy Flash party!" with suggestions and instructions on how to clean out the detritus of uninstalled apps and leftovers from previoius ROMs.
I'm running Jelly Core CyanCore v1.1, and am absolutely loving it on my Razr Maxx. One thing I really want to try is the softkeys. I can't seem to find a .ZIP or anything that will work with my ROM, when I flash them my phone won't boot, so I have to reset and restore my ROM.
Does anyone know of a working softkeys mod for the Razr?
The soft keys are in the droid razr hd rom v1.1,
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/4274-rom100droid-hd/
Perhaps you could get some details from matt or kebob?
Just as a quick intro, I'm not a total noob, but I'm no expert either. I had an OG Droid that I rooted and had installed several ROMS before upgrading to a Droid Razr. I decided to root this one also and I'm running CM 10.1.3 with JellyBean X kernel, all installed with Safestrap.
I had some issues with my baseband not working properly with CM, so I decided to try to install a clean version of Jelly Bean to see if that helped the problem. The ROM I was going to download required me to install BMM 3.0.4 which I did. Once that was done, I rebooted and lo and behold the phone booted into the original Verizon version of Jelly Bean. At this point I have not installed anything but BMM. Why did this happen? I thought I had done a wipe when I installed CM. Is this because I installed CM into a second slot and now BMM is booting to the original slot? As far as I know, CM is still on the phone somewhere. How can I get back to it? Is it going to be a problem as far as phone performance to have both of them on the system at the same time?
Finally, like everyone else, my goal is to get the best performance out of this phone. I would like to avoid the stock ROM due to all the bloatware. Is the clean JB a good option? Will this fix the baseband problem (poor to no service)? Is there a baseband fix I can use in conjunction with CM?
Thanks and sorry for all the questions.
Not sure if you are just looking @ AOSP ROMs, but I've done well with the bionx ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45291834:
Its stock based, haven't had any issues and its different with some Xperia launcher and whatnot. Has a lot of options/tweaks in dashboard app as well..
