i have a couple of days looking around for an answer and nothing...
i updates to [Leaked-Ota][Cdma][4.1.2] Jelly Bean 98.72.8 (12/27/12) an obtained root
then someone told me to to just install safestrap to install custom jb roms ...
so i installed safestrap 3.05 and boom.. cant boot.. flashing roms wont work..
all i can do is get back into safestrap 3.05 where i cant be sure of the charge because it always show something different//
btw i think i have ICS stock rom backed up becaused i followed hrishi21007 tutorial on youtube
i will donate to whoever helps me restore the phone and gets me on track to flashing jb roms...

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.

You are probably confusing the OP. DO NOT listen to this guy.
Thanks a lot for the answers guys. Just out of curiosity, why is neerajganga saying an ics boot loader is needed? That doesn't make sense to me because I've gone from GB to ICS without ever having to touch the boot loader.

I think you are confusing bootloaders for kernels. But by calling it a bootloader you will confuse the OP into possibly screwing up their phone. I don't know if you need an ics kernel for jb. I'm just trying to clear up the misnomer.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Being what I just went through with my phone... I assured I was flashing an ICS ROM with a proper kernel. Then move up into JB. I had flashed a wrong kernel and wound up having to back track and redo allot.
May seem like more work yet taking it step by step sometimes in the end is easier. Just a word of thought from a noob who twice thought he bricked his phone. Yet now works great on CM9 thinking of moving up into CM10 soon.
The new versions of siyah and dream kernel are both ics and jb friendly may be more but these are what I use

neerajganga, I think you're in the wrong forum. This is for the ATT SGSII model I777, your sig indicates you've got an I9100 (though that confuses me because even I9100 users never need to flash bootloaders except in softbrick recoveries, just like I777).

This to me seems that Ben101 says "Stock jelly bean is still not released", which krayndr then declares "False!"
I work in software; I differentiate between a leak and a release. "Released to testers" is not a release. We send many builds to testers before we have a release candidate.

Not sure why you're directing this question to me; is it because I said I work in software? That doesn't mean I work in developing software specifically for this device, or even for Samsung devices in general...
But if you're having issue with a leaked firmware, doesn't it make sense to go back to a released firmware?

Hi
First of all you need to root the phone. The best way to do that would be to flash cf-root compatible with your rom version. You can find exactly what your build is by checking settings > about phone
Find compatible cf-root kernel and put it in PDA in odin and flash... there are lot's of guides out there - won't be hard to find
Second, before you go further you need yoo updete your bootloader. So either flash ICS stock through odin (not recommended cause will unroot again) or flash bootloader through odin. Again there are proper guides for that...
Then you can upgrade to whatever you want...
Keep in mind that emmc cap bug does not exist in GB kernels. so you can use the CWM recovery in cf-root kernels for GB rather safely.
If you update to stock ICS then you need to keep an eye what kernel you're using to wipe data. Siyah and dorimanx are safe and I always use them.
Loads of roms out there, pure aosp, cm based, aokp based and the leaked sammy rom. Personally checked alot of each first three and also several versions of the leaked one... All good.
Word of edvice - do read more on those things. No matter how much expirience people who answer threads like that have, you'll never substitute your own knowledge and expirience.
Go on and root and enjoy the android world, mate. Best of luck
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.

Hi all,
I've made all the necessary steps before flashing a new ICS Rom: Unlocked Bootloader, Recovery (CWM), Root, S-OFF, made a backup.
I've tried few ICS roms (MUIU and Cyanogen) and the flashing was ok, but once the new rom boots and I touch a screen, the phone reboots. It happens all the time, regardless of the rom.
The strange thing is, that it happens only with ICS roms, but when I install JB (2.3.4) custom rom everything goes smoothly anf the phone works just fine.
How can I prevent my phone to restart all the time? I want to upgrade my Amaze to the ICS.
Thanks.

For you to run ics roms you first need to update to ics from a ruu. Ics has different firmware and changes the partitions also. Once you do that then you can install ics based roms.

You can go from ICS to JB to KK and back to ICS if you want. It doesn't matter.
