noob confusion.. a little help plz - Motorola Droid RAZR

hi, im new in this forum ... (i have verizon droid razr 4.0.4)
ive rooted and installed safestrap 3.05 as the videos of 007 indicated
but im not sure which roms I can install.. Ex: i was looking into D-Wiz because it seems like the most popular around here
but since i will use my droid razr on a gsm(umts) network should i install the roms in xt910 or xt912?? and which version should i install D-wiz or D-wiz JBX??

If its a Verizon Droid Razr then you should always install xt912 ROMs or you will brick your device. It doesn't matter if your on a GSM network btw.

I'm on JB, I love it. But the downside is that there's not as much ROMs on JB as on ICS. So idk, it's your choice. Oh and yea you can use that guide to update to JB

CyanogenMod 10.1 becomes Officially Nightly

Just sharing the information I saw today in Google+:
Motorola Droid RAZR/RAZR MAXX (XT910) and Motorola Droid RAZR (XT912) are now officially supported by CyanogenMod Team.
As they said in this post, the developers who are porting this ROM to us joined the CM family.
You can see the Device page here:
CDMA
GSM
Hope we all could enjoy it's stable release soon!
wow I have been waiting for this, very awesome. I hope we can see stable builds soon :good::good::victory:
one thing I miss is BMM compability...
Based
Sorry, but i read all and dont see if this rom is ICS based or JB. Any know? I think is ICS

Per the web site: "This is for XT912 with stock ICS KERNEL ONLY!"
Awesome... hope they solve the bluetooth issue soon.
We'll likely see it stick to ICS Kernel only until a bit after the official Jelly Bean OTA, at which point you'll start to see dhacker and Hash switch things over permanently. I still can't believe that a new Motorola device is supported, much less one as locked down as Verizon has the CDMA version haha. Kudos to both dhacker and Hash for their hard work on all this.

Great news! I'm glad all their hard work has paid off
Running it now. Works fine although there's still no Bluetooth and no flash.

The bluetooth has been my biggest pet peeve with 10.1. I really wish I could use 10.1 daily but it doesn't make sense for me without bluetooth functioning correctly.

Running this with the 20th March nightly on SS3.11. Wondering if anyone has been successful getting it working under BMM or if anyone has even tried with CWM? Happy it works under SS but kind of perfer the way BMM opperates and would like to give it a go... any thoughts ??
Many thanks,
:fingers-crossed:

Well, I'm using it at the moment, so the current kexec official builds definitely work with BMM
JFYI, the kexec official builds also work after performing the OTA JB EU update. Just removed SS3.11 saved root with OTA Root Keeper, Flashed (held breath) booted all good.. renabled root, reinstalled SS.. booted into recovery, selected by CM10.1, wiped cache and dalvic (a few times each for good measure) rebooted and away she goes... now I've got 4.1.2 Stock and CM10.1 4.2.2 under SS. Happy Days!
working fine with bmm.there are some issues.but it is good enough for daily use.:good:

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.

This will work with my stock official ota for my verizon 4.1.2 with root? Is this the only rom available, sorry for so many questions

[Q] After doing some research, I think I need help figuring out if I can flash a ROM!

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!

Why do you talking about ICS and Gingerbread when you are on JB?
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
