I would like to install safestap on my droid razr xt910 but I can't. I always get a Parse error or something.
I did some research and I figured I need ICS 4.0.4 for this, right? So I rooted my device which is currently on 2.3.6 but I couldn't find a good tutorial on how to update to ICS.
Basically, Im trying to install a custom ROM from the development section, I wanted to try new ROMs... So to do that, I need to install safestrap and to install safestrap I need ICS, and to install ICS I need to root... So basically all I did for now is rooted the device

Hi, I just rooted my Droid X2 this morning on 2.3.4 and want to install Eclipse 2.0.2 and realized that have to be on 2.3.5. I saw this thread and was wondering if it was possible for me to just boot into bootstrap and flash 2.3.5 and install Eclipse 2.0.2 without having to SPF back to complete stock unrooted 2.3.4? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Edit: I also read somewhere that ROM manager does not work correctly with the DX2? If that is the case, what is the best alternative to this?

You must follow that thread to a T if you want to be on eclipse 2.02 or else it will not work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412729 same thread in post #3. Follow it and enjoy. If you try your own thing it will not work. A lot of hard work and a couple of days to figure out this method and it is the only way I got on 2.02 and loving it

There really is no alternative to rom manager for what it does. You HAVE to use bootstrap recovery

If your running the STOCK 2.3.4, then you do NOT need to SBF to a fresh version. This is whether your rooted or not. You'll only need to SBF to stock 2.3.4 if you installed a custom ROM on, like Molten, Liberty, etc.
Personally, I would recommend SBF'ing - but that's just because I like a fresh, clean start with these things. Eitherway, it'll work perfectly fine.
As for getting to 2.3.5, it's recommend that you use the "Android Recovery" that comes with it to flash the update. Once your on 2.3.5 you'll need to reroot and install BSR to get the custom ROM on.

Yes it can be done
BUT
For people who are just trying to follow the directions for the ROM install, they will end up having issues, because no where in the ROM install instructions, for any ROM we have, does it mention deleting SU backup made by root keeper. So if they try to just flash a ROM after rooting w/ root keeper, they will get an "installation aborted error line 294" & if they aren't able to restore a backup before rebooting then it's just going to be sbf time anyways lol.
If you know what you are doing tho and have read into it and found what you need to do of using root keeper to gain root, then yes, go for it, but the "average" user here is going to have no idea why they keep getting installation aborted, when they could just use zergrush and be all good to go
Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk
As it is, if I have to go to 2.3.5, I hold off rooting until AFTER I've updated to 2.3.5. No need to root if I'm sbfing to 2.3.4 and updating to 2.3.5. The root is only needed when I'm ready to install BSR and flash a custom ROM.
This is what I do:
SBF to 2.3.4
Apply 2.3.5 update
Root
Install BSR
Flash 2.3.5 custom ROM
Done
To me, Rootkeeper just seems to cause more hassles and it's just easier to root after I'm done updating to 2.3.5. No need to root at the 2.3.4 level.
Of course, if you are already rooted at 2.3.4 and want to update to 2.3.5, I can see that, but Rootkeeper has been proven to cause issues and it just creates more work to avoid those issues.

Hi, i have an S3 and i want to install Jelly Bean.
At the moment i have my device rooted using: Odin3-v3.04_Galaxys3ii.com with CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4
Now to the question: How do i proceed correctly to update to jelly bean? And if possible, get root-access as well? But if that is too complicated i would happily settle with stock JB.
I tried to update OTA but got this error (roughly translated from Swedish): "Access to the software update service is provided to the user in the order they request it. try again later."
Then i tried through Samsung KIES. It finds an update but the program just freezes when i try to install it, not affecting the phone.
Thanks for all answers!

Ok nice! So given that im a noob and all.. Do i need to go to stock or anything before this or can i just load this in with odin and it will all work?
they flash in recovery, all you need is root and custom recovery, if you have those you are good to go, I recommend a wipe, but you could try without, if you find that you have problems with f/c 's then go back to recovery and do a factory reset

Just flash it with CWM, it is a "stock Rom".You should really check out flashing guides in "Stickies", it'll tell u everything u need to know about flashing roms, kernels, mods & so on.

If you installed the OTA update, you are now on a JB Kernel. That means your ICS backup is useless, since the razr has a locked bootloader.
It also means that any custom ROMs you install need to be built off the JB Kernel. The JB ROMs that were here before the OTA were built around the existing ICS kernel cause, again locked bootloader.
Are the ROMs you are trying to install made for the JB kernel? If not, they wouldn't boot, they are made for the ICS kernel

If those are the ROM's that you are installing then, they are the wrong ones, and that is your problem. If you look at the top they say they are for the Ice cream sandwich (ICS) kernel. You will need ones for the JellyBean(JB) kernel if you installed the OTA update.

I have an DROID RAZR XT910 GSM/CDMA with the following stock ICS: 673.94.328.XT910.Optus.en.AU, Version 4.0.4, Build 6.7.3-94_SPI-328 and while looking at all the mods and roms out there I'm not confident in flashing this device because the version numbers are different and I don't wanna brick my phone (at close to AUD$800 I think you can understand why) so need help with getting JB onto it (impatient here in OZ, last round from GB to ICS took 6 months from advertised to actually going OTA here). Phone is rooted, have Titanium Backup and SuperSU installed but:
1: don't know how to back up the whole stock in case of failure and need to reinstall
2: not sure that any ROMs are safe to use in my phone (differing stock numbers etc)
3: what other software needed to make this happen
Can anyone please help!?! (where's that old interrobang when you need it)

Hi!
I'm an Aussie user but bought mine through Kogan (so it's a German phone). If you've already rooted the phone and have Stock ICS I'd recommend installing SS3.11 or BMM and running another JB ROM rather than try to flash stock.
There's heaps of threads with great ROMs on here and the Development thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2162827
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028020
Personally I use SS3.11 with CM10.1 as my daily and it's fine. I can also recommend AOKP4.22 which is now officially supported on XT910.
Benefit of this setup is that I can also boot back to stock whenever I want.
Cheers and happy flashing!

This is a bit late to see this thread, but there is a thread for the retail.au 4.1.2 official. If you do a search of the forum with "retail" and "au" you'll find it. Stock rom that needs to flash a kernel first.
First be sure to root if you're still on ICS. There's a one-click root tool in the development section.
Requires BMM 0.3.4, from there you can install the recovery and reboot into it. It allows you to do a nandroid backup.

Alrighty! So I have a Razr Maxx on Verizon running 4.1.2 JB. I'm looking to flash CM 10.1 on this guy.
So I've figured out that I can root it without a problem. I'm seeing that you can use Razr Blade or ADB. At any rate, i'm trying to figure out if in order to flash CM 10.1, you need to be on stock Firmware. Do I need to be on ICS or Gingerbread (whichever came on Razr) to flash CM 10.1? If so, all the tools that would allow me to do this tell me that one can't go from JB to ICS. Can anyone help out? Also, if i'm correct, you need to first root, then flash. Right? Thanks!

And yes,you can't go back and you don't need to,just root the phone,install BMM or Safestrap and flash the rom.

Stock Firmware means anything released by Motorola.
The rough process is simple.
Root
Install Safestrap(safer to use) or BMM(many advanced options)
Download the ROM & Gapps(optinal)
Boot into Recovery
Create A rom-slot
flash your ZIP
Reboot
