Please help...I recently softbricked my phone aparently. I am stuck at the M logo when logging on. I was running OTA ICS. My battery is also dead so I purchased a Motorola Factory Cable and am able to get into AP Fastboot mode and it tells me batter ok to program. I am trying to use RSD Lite and get back to Stock but am not having any luck. Someone please help. Thank you very much in advance. Michael
You will need ICS fastboot files to use with RSD lite. Once the bootloader updates to ICS version, you cannot fastboot with Gingerbread stock.

I don't suppose you have a link to these files do you? I have been researching and have attempted to download so many things with broken links I have myself confused now. UGH...
You will need to find the correct files for your RAZR's region.
You can find fastboot files here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_spyder/list.php
If you have trouble finding the right one, please post your RAZR's region/telco etc.
Can you please help me figure out which files i need? What info is needed to determine this? I am at a loss.
If your using a CDMA razr try matts droid razr utility, it will get you back to stock ics and has other options like rooting,
this has saved me multiple times, just look it up on google I think the latest version is 1.8 there will be links for the moto drivers, good luck

There is no paid version of his utility. Are you in fastboot ap mode on your phone when you try to use his utility?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
yes i'm in ap fastboot mode,i downloaded 2 versions of dru one is a 7-zip file which i can't open on my pc even though i downloaded the program to do it ,i don't know what type of file the other version is got it from matts xda post,it opens and runs but again i get the script saying files\moto-fastboot ect...when i first tried to root using doomlord it installed the bionic bootstrapper the root didn't take so i uninstalled the bootstrapper and rooted using motofail i don't have any boot or safe strap installed,please someone help me i want to be ready when ics rolls out,.......
I'd suggest going back to Matt's thread, and going through a few pages as there is an updated version. I think it's also posted at another razr forum. Delete the versions you have just to eliminate any confusion. You may also just want to use RSD. It took me a few tries to get the right fastboot file, but once I did I just had to ota to .173 then to .181.

wow if only i would have listened to you sooner,i assumed lite or full version meant paid or free!I was at my wits end yesterday so i emailed matt and while i was reading his response something clicked in the back of my head so i went to matts thread and downloaded the full version which includes the fastboot files and tada i'm now running on the 181 update!now i just have to reroot and restore my apps from titanium and i'll be set,thanks to you and matt and all on xda who tried to help me,if i wasn't so bullheaded and paid attention i'd have had this done weeks ago,now come on ics!!!!!!!!!!
I have tried to sbf with rsd lite 5.3.1 and every other versions. I also tried with linux and mac and that live sbf disk. I have tried 10 different sbf files. my computer has windows 7 ultimate and ubuntu 11.11. I get a error on rsd lite that says waiting for phone to re-enumerate, and a message on the screen of the x2. It sucks because now I have my htc eris and this phone sitting here.
What happens on linux?

I got that error too if you are trying to flash a 2.3.5 SBF and your Kernal is 2.3.6. If that is the case you can not go back due to a security issue that Motorola implemented. So you would need to find the 2.3.6 SBF. I would assume that you are putting it into RSD mode on the phone?
it just gets the same thing on the phone as rsd lite and sits there and after 5 minutes it says failed and weird symbols

i have sbfed it before with the milestone x2 2.3.5 sbf and updated it so ill try the 2.3.6 milestone x2 sbf... when i flashed that i lost 3g and wifi. does any know how to get that back
Hmm... I had the same issue but it was because I was trying to sbf back from 2.3.6 to 2.3.5. Now is your phone a Milestone X2 or a Droid x2?
I have you tried putting into recovery mode and clearing out the factories? I know this sounds basic but... sometimes that needs to be done.
Is the computer registering the phone?
Have you tried unistalling the drivers from the computer and reinstall them?
Same thing with RSD.. Have you tried a different version of RSD?
These are the only things I can think of. I hope something helps! Best of luck to you and let me know how it goes.
i got it back up thank u for the kernal stuff. i forgot i flashed it with the milestone x2 sbf so i got it back up. alot of ppl lost 3g but i didnt

I have a razr maxx and I am (or was) on the latest ICS OTA. I rooted my phone trying to flash a rom. I tried flashing two different roms and it kept telling me "signature verification failed". So after a while of trying to flash and being unsuccessful I decided to try to RSD back to stock. Now that keeps telling me that it fails. Anything else I can try? please help me out. I'm willing to either flash a rom (or try to) or go back to stock, just want my phone working again.
Thanks in advance

How do I go about doing that? Do I use RSD Lite or put it in my SD Card? also I tried looking for the file and cant find one larger then 6.7 MB, is that about the right size? Thank you

Do not extract the files to your desktop. Keep them in rar form. Once it is done flashing your phone should reboot and there you go

Everything the previous poster said is true as far as how to fix it. The underlying issue is that you were (more than likely) trying to flash a GB ROM on an ICS system. The "Signature verification error" comes up because when your phone went through the ICS OTA, it updated the bootloader to a newer version. When you flashed the GB ROM, it throws that error because the version numbers are different from the GB bootloader to the ICS bootloader.
Just a little background info. I'm also curious were you just not paying attention to the version numbers?

yes as he said. Make sure pay attention to the details of things. ALWAYS do research on something before you flash it onto your phone. And as far as being on ICS you can no longer do anything with GB anymore (including roms and anything else)
Try Battery Calibrate from Play Store =)

I did everything as instructed in a direction, and it said that it failed. when i put it in AP Fastboot it says battery low is that the reason? and when i plug it into a computer it has a white light, what does that mean? when i plug it into a wall or car charger it just stays on the motorola dual core screen. does it just needs to be charged and if so which way to go? computer or wall/car charger? thanks again

Ok guys, I dont ask questions in here lightly, when I ask a question its only after hours of (fruitless) searching. I was invited to the soak test for the ICS update, BUT there were still traces of root on the handset so it kept failing, SO I tried the droid utility to un-root but for some reason pressed the wrong option (I know I know) and it attempted to load a version of firmware incompatible with my razr. SO I got the ap flash fail message and nothing else - a couple of hours later and about 15gb of files to flash through RSD lite, I am still no better off, I just can't find the right image, there is one that appears to install, but then it wont boot and goes instead to the ap fastboot screen boot fail.
Is my device dead? Or fixable? I have tried getting version info from the Moto website but they need the IMEI (which I have) AND a serial number which I DONT have, I have no idea why I tossed the box, nbot like me as I dont keep phones for long but for whatever reason I did.
The phone was second hand and has NO operator branding on it at all so I assume its retail, It was on 2.3.6. Please please someone tell me it's not as bad as it appears!!
if u got ap flash error.. I'm sure u just the right rom to flash via RSD lite n u should be ok.. try give some more info if u can.. like are u xt910 or xt912?

The only details I can access are on the back of the handset - Its the XT910, I know the IMEI number but thats not relevant,
The back also says, Type: MOC2E Fcc Id IHDP56ME2 Ic Id 1090 - P56ME2,
That is all I know, the phone has no operator software installed that I ever saw so I am guessing its a sim free retail model.
I have tried every eu fastboot flash file I can find, (about a dozen of them) I'm scared the battery will run out and leave me completely stuffed!
You can only flash phone with ICS fastboot not gingerbread firmware.
There are couple ICS fastboot leaked by sbf.droid-developers.com, download ICS firmware and flash phone with RSD lite. good luck.

So I had ota ics and using safestrap to run aokp jb 4.2.1. I was messing around in 4636 hidden menu and activated usa band. Searching for a fix didn't help so I figured I could just use rsd lite and re-flash ics. I had long since the first time deleted all the files so I got the ones from sbf droid developers.org. The first I tried had 11 points and failed at 1/11 with a cdt.bin error. Then I got another which ran till 6/xx and then return the same error. The xx is because I didn't notice how many points it had to run through.
Do I have any options?
In rsd lite the device properties are all blank and they have been for both attempts.
Thanks

That error means you tried to flash an sbf with a lower version than you had on your device.
Make sure the sbf you are using is exactly the same you had running and for the same region.

OTA's only work once if phone is stock.
Android version can't be downgraded.
What are you trying to do?
As I said in OP, I was messing with stuff I didn't understand. I got the factory cable and also one of the old sbf files. I have checked that the one I have is for UMTS but it is still in CDMA mode. It just will not switch bad to UMTS mode.. I was using the wrong android version when I did this the first time but it is now flashed and working. Only problem is the radio thinks it is CDMA..

Factory cable for power. The phone had been unpowered for a year.
Term or not, I was just referring to the file extension. All these oem abbreviations, meh. I wouldn't even know if it was one or the other. It was listed as a sbf, so that's what I called it
But thanks replying. The is working now. I guess it must have been the right radio after all. Thanks anyway
