I am rooted but running stock ICS via the last OTA update. For the last few days, my RAZR has rebooted randomly when I would tap on an app notification from my status bar. It did not make a difference what the app was that I tapped the notification for. Sometimes it would reboot, sometimes not. This morning I woke up around 3 AM and tapped a notification. Of course my phone rebooted and now is stuck in the reboot animation. I tried booting into recovery, wiping cache, and rebooting. It did not work. After a couple of hours I gave up and decided to reset the phone to factory settings. Ah success or so I thought. I started to set the phone back up again but the phone rebooted and is once again stuck in bootloop. I am stuck now on what to do. Any suggestions?
I'd be using RSD software to flash a different stock Rom. Here is how and all you need:

Just confirming that I've got an Australian RAZR, bought from Optus and I've flashed the European UK version without any problem. After RSD does the job, you may have to boot into Recovery and wipe the cache and data, just in case you get stuck in a bootloop.

So. I was on 1.4a of CherryBlur. Flashed the newest FULL WIPE with Webtop version 1.4d. Flashed using Tenfar's Recovery and it said flashing was successful. Now, when I turn the phone on, at the motorola logo screen, with "Dual Core Technology" below it, the screen starts flashing after a few seconds (about 20 seconds) and the white "Unlocked" in the top left of the screen is gone during the flashing. What the hell? I can still get into the recovery mode, but none of the options seem to help my problem, even the factory reset.
And a battery pull is the only way to get the screen to stop blinking and restart.
Any ideas? Could the download have been incomplete/corrupted?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hold the volume down while the phone keeps restarting. Then try to enter recovery and do a wipe.
Ps: are you on tenfars cwm or rom managers cwm? Only tenfars cwm wipes data.

Aye. On Tenfar's and wipe did nothing for me.
Boot into recovery and reflash Cherryblur. Sounds like your other rom you downloaded didnt finish or is corrupted.
As unbelievable as it may sound, tried this. Have 3 different versions of CherryBlur saved on my SD Card. tried reflashing the newest version (1.4d FULL WIPE) about 5 times and even tried older versions (back to 1.2) out of desperation. All result in this same hang at the motorola screen. This is one of the most amazing things that I've seen. Something buggered royally.
I attempted to flash MIUI.us V4 2.6.8 Atrix ByTeamMotoTegra today, and was almost successful, but I found out that I shouldn't have wiped the phone before flashing. I lost the touch functionality, and couldn't select my language. I flashed my old ROM (Neutrino) to try to flash back to MIUI, but still could not seem to get the touch funcationality.
After a few times of taking out the battery and trying to get the MIUI ROM working, I ran into a boot loop. The screen will not go past the screen with the red logo, no matter what I do. If I hold the volume up/down buttons, "starting RSD protocol support" appears, but nothing else happens. The phone just keeps turning off, then returning to the screen with the red logo. Any ideas on how to get past this screen?
i have a similar problem, i rooted and unlocked a friend atrix today on 2.3.6 version 4.5.141
it went fine and booted normally. i then went into cwm and made a mistake by not making a backup, cleared data cache and dalvik then proceeded to flash aokp. it booted but didnt go past the motorola dual core screen while still displaying unlocked. i can still go to fastboot and even into cwm as i have attempted to flash other roms after clearing all things out again but nothing is going past the boot screen.
any suggestions?
I can scroll through the other CWM menu options, but I can't boot up or anything else. Anytime I select one of the options, it will either just restart and go back to the red logo screen, or say I don't have enough battery life to flash. My battery is now completely dead and doesn't seem to be charging at all, even though it's been plugged in all night.
I rooted my phone without any trouble for months, and its been working just fine, until now! Then, I had to do a factory reset. The normal procedure, SETTINGS> PRIVACY> factory reset. The phone then never got past the boot logo. It starts to load, and just gets stuck at the Samsung logo, and nothing else. there's two lights glowing from the capacitive buttons, and that's all. I'm on 4.1.2 JB stock rom. Later, I tried to enter recovery mode, and did a wipe, and cleaned cache partition also. AND, the phone just sprung to life, the whole first time set up thing. I started filling in stuff and the phone just shut down again, and if I tried to reboot again, it doesn't get past boot logo. But if I wipe n do it, it happens but shuts down immediately Please help!!

Boot into download mode, get a stock rom from Samfirmware, flash it with Odin (How ? Thread stickied near top of Q&A).
i had my phone for about 2 years, it has been rooted ever since i got it and its running custom rom and custom recovery CM 13 on android 5.0.1 and TWRP . about a week ago i was charging my phone, when i unlocked it, i'm unable to go to the home screen because whenever i do that, google app crashed and the phone redirected me to the recently used app tabs, then i tried to reboot my phone and it went to safe mode but then i restarted it and its stuck on bootloop. so i let it be for a while, then it show the "android is starting" tab and "optimizing app number "xxx" out of "xxx" and after it finished, again it is stuck in CM's logo. however, then i put my phone to fastboot an restarted it and i dont know, it turned on again after 2 boot loops. a week after, my phone ran out of battery so i tried to turn it on but it wont , after reading threads on the internet, it suggested me to erase the cache and the dalvik cache. so i did and it turned on. today, i ran out of battery again and i erased both cache and dalvik cache, but it wont turn on.. i have no idea what's going on with my phone, and im a newbie so please go easy on me thank you.
So I flashed magisk, RMM bypass, and boot.img. I wiped data, format data, etc... Basically I followed a guide to root my model.
So everything was going well, then I tried to boot up my phone, the big text with my phone model popped up, the usual, and then, a black screen appeared, I thought it was just the first boot thing so I waited for like 30 minutes and my phone was still on a black screen.
I can access Odin mode and TWRP, so at worst, I'll have to flash my stock firmware to maybe fix it.
I'm new to this and this has never happened before so I don't know what to do, any ideas?

Probably the famous Black-Screen-Of-Death that everyone fears: perform a Factory Reset.
Do a factory reset, if it doesnt work reinstall the stock rom
