do not flash into stock rom. as its dangerous for some1 new in this.
play with slot1 and others
and always do a backup before updates

I recommend the app SD maid,when I first started using safestrap I was only able to have my stock ROM and ROM slot 1,didn't have enough storage to even create ROM slot 2 so I manually deleted files, and was able to create the second one but kept getting the annoying low volume space message so I deleted more files and messed something up (I'm a relative noob) had to go back to stock with dru and start over. Long story short with SD maid I'm running stock plus roms on slots 1,2,and 3!you may want to get a 32 gig SD card also, good luck

Someone please help just point me in the right direction it would b greatly appreciate

if you have unlocked BL you should be able to flash any rom. as long as the rom image contains all contents you should be able to just flash it.
to go to stock 2.3.4 use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163342&page=1
it wont update your BL though - if you want to do that I think you'd have to sbf a pudding, but I'm not sure.
So the alien rom and cherry one can b flashed to my phone even thou im running on 4.1.26

Use a custom recovery to run a nandroid backup. I like CWM and you can flash it using rom manager. Im still running stock rom because I don't think the custom roms are good enough but you have to decide what you prefer. Try them both.
Jim, your best bet would be to flash CWM recovery by following these instructions:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1138541
Once you've done that you can flash to any rom you choose. The recovery installed by ROM manager, from my understanding, isn't a FULL recovery suite.
I personally like Nav's work on the cherry series.
One other thing you might want to keep in mind with most of these new rom's is what radio you're using AND whether or not you have an international phone.
There is a good post about it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009
I've been trying to keep up on all these developments too and it can be difficult.... Good luck and anymore questions, don't hesitate to ask.
i like the alienv3 with alien theme and faux123 oc kernal

when you've backed up with TB, just re-install TB and all your stuff should still be there to restore. it stores it on the SD card.

[Q] I need detailed instructions on how to go from my current ROM to the ics leak! :(

I know this may sound ridiculous, but I'm unsure how I go about switching from my current ROM, eclipse, to ics without any chance of bricking my phone! I would really truly appreciate detailed instructions I'm just afraid of bricking my second razr in 2 months.. Hahah. And ics just seems way too epic to pass up... Help a noobie out!

Thanks for that it helps a bit, but it doesn't tell the proper way to go from your custom ROM to the razr ics ROM.. and it also only has the files for stock and such for different phones.. :/

Just download ics rom, and flash it via odin or cwm. Dunno whats the problem.

I thought I read somewhere u have to side boot it or something whatever that means lol and do u have to wipe everything? I just know u have to do it a different way then how you would normally flash a custom ROM

And like I used safeboot to come over from stock, couldn't I just do the whole disable safe mode thing instead of reverting back to stock and ota updating? Or do I do it another way? And if so do I delete safeboot? Idk I'm just scared I'm gonna screw something up hahah (

Oo ya I know I'm trying to flash the new ics leak on the razr but there's a special way to do it you don't flash it the traditional way you have to sideload the ROM in a less traditional matter which is probably the scariest part of it all to me I suppose. I mean I really truly want this ics ROM, but at the same time I would hate to put my phone in danger seeing as how I bricked my other razr not even 2 months ago. I must be traumatized... Hahaha :{

You really need to search and find the information so you can understand what to do if you get in trouble somewhere. You want to put the leaked official ICS on your phone, that is what I am understanding? If you do, this is what you need to do.
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/1635-successfully-sideloaded-the-ics-leak/
There are two different sites that you will need to get links from. Read this thread and everything about it if you want the official/unofficial leak for ICS.
Ok well how do I get rid of my custom ROM? Do the fastboot thing?

And should I use voodoo before I fastboot?

Never mind I read a little closer and did some more research. So I uninstall safeboot, fastboot, motofail root, voodoo/ROM manager, then flash, get my root back, then reinstall cwm right?

Do as the thread says to do. It can't be any easier than that. If you don't understand the process, don't do it. Why do you keep asking questions when it is completely laid out? I understand you might be a little nervous but the process is easy. I recommend updating the driver just in case as I had issues using the utility until I did. Hope this helps and I am sure if you have fully read that thread, you will be fine.
Ok :s and my drive are up to date just did updates about a week ago. One more question though, do I need any specific files in order to use the utility to get back to .744?
See my questions are becoming more intellectual! Hahahah

Using the utility in that thread will put you on .173. That is what you would want to be on.

Agreed that all the info is in the thread, but here :
Based on the fact that you said you were on Eclipse 1.3 prior.
-Backup SMS messages to SD card, backup all apps and data with Titanium Backup, make sure to copy the directory to your SD card (to be safe).
-Fastboot back to .173, root, install voodoo rootkeeper, DO NOT install either safestrap or bootstrap with the Batman utility.
-make sure you update superuser in the market before you save with voodoo (to 3.0.3.2 or something like that)
-restore apps from TB and SMS from backup (the ICS update doesn't wipe data, so however you have your screens setup is the way they will be in ICS)
-save root
-copy ICS files (both .zip and .crc) to /cache directory
-install Rom Manager, but don't setup saying you have CWM installed, just install the .apk
-(here is where my option differs from original article) Using Root Explorer, nav to /cache dir, long press on .zip file. Now RE gives you some options, choose open with, then under general options select Open with default
-this will open ROM Manager, asking if you want to reboot into recovery.... Yes
-once it goes into 3e recovery press both vol buttons to see status.
-enjoy ICS
I followed these instructions (the original OP):
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/1635-successfully-sideloaded-the-ics-leak/
I didn't roll all the way back to 744, and it worked fine. Just make sure you're on stock 173 (aforementioned Bat Man utility (aka: Matts tool).

Razr won't restore backup?

Hey guys,
I had a little issue for the second time today. Before when I first rooted my razr back on GB and made a backup of it ans tried to restore after ,it would completely go through the process in recovery but when I would hit reboot,it wouldn't do anything after the dual core logo. Same thing happened today,made a backup of stock leaked .206 and installed the aokp rom. Got a little anxious to see if it would do the same thing and low and behold it did! So technically I'm stuck on this rom (not that I don't like it ) but I don't wanna go through the whole process of using Droid utility and ics unstuck methods to go back ....any help would be appreciated!

i didn't spend to much time on the rom.but it seem to be better than the stock.
Tried to install via Safestrap but i think to miss something. Installed after enebled Safestrap, flashed gsm patch before to reboot and i got black screen after the first static moto logo.
Someone can suggest something?
Edit: Maybe it's due to this thing (will retry):
OH!! And never try to boot into recovery with the device plugged in, you will get nothing but a black screen.

From your wording it sounds as if you flashed the GSM patch & rebooted before you flashed the rom. If that's the case, you're booting into an empty partition. You have to have something on the safe side to boot into before attempting to power up into that side.

On GSM you ONLY can boot DHackers Roms with Safestrap. Regular Roms won't boot.
You have to use Boot Menu and convert the Rom.

You can run it with the Patch, realy no Problem. But yoy can't use Safestrap to flash Roms. None of the usual Roms will boot by using Safestrap XT910. I tried different ways and Roms. It seems like it's just developed for KeXec.

:good: I tried HSD-Pilot's way and rom works correctly now. :good:
Do these steps:
convert nxrom by boot manager(thick all parts specially the last one)
download eclipse gsm patch and put it in SD card
go to recovery
do full wipe(data and cache)
install the rom
install the gsm patch TWICE
reboot
after long booting do first initial setup and reboot.
you will find everything works perfectly.
Will try. Just a question about Safestrap: is it ok that when wipe data and caches in safe mode, i got my unsafe os factory setted?

I don't know.

When you wipe data on safe system your non-safe system won't get touched. So when you toggle back to non safe, all your apps and settings will still be there.

You where asking about safestrap (Safe & Non-safe)
But i guess you used BM and didn't format the Webtop partition. If you did it, then you have to many Apps installed, because the Webtop only got around 1,5gb Space. If you need more then you have to use your Main System for the BionX Rom.

If you switched to a 4.2.x rom you wont be able to restore anuthing due to where 4.2 roms store info... due to the multi user modes.

I'm confused, what ROM are you on and what ROM, are you wanting to go to? as far as your pictures, all that is so on your sd card and will be if you flash that zip fin the cm10.1 thread. They are just stored in different directories. The 4.2 ROMs have different directories then 4.1to make multi user possible.
