razr maxx cdma brick after jb ota - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hey everyone
I downloaded and installed the jellybean ota successfully to my CDMA razr maxx xt912 the day the leak came out. Everything was running smooth and safestrap was installed. Then I tried to install a theme and everything went bad! The phone can only boot to fastboot because the jb ota leak didn't have a stock recovery.
Since the jelly bean fast boot files aren't out I just bought a used gnex from my friend and have been loving it but I want to get my razr up and running..
I have tried rsdlite and the utility tools to try and bring it back to ICS and nothing works so far.. Any ideas?

You can NOT ever get back to ICS. Can you clarify if you were on the Christmas leak or soak/ota before this happened?

i posted this on another thread but same thing.
Easy Fix,
Matt's Utility 1.90
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/to...ux-all-in-one/
1. Unzip, move the folder that said MOVE TO SD
2. Go into AP Fastboot
3. Do # 1
4. Power Off/On then go into Recovery
5. Wipe everything
6. Install update from External SD
7. Choose the ICS > JB Leak
8. Go take a short 20 mins nap

I can't boot into recovery to wipe the phone or install anything because there is no stock recovery on the jb ota I have.. All the phone does is boot to fastboot so that method won't work for me. I'm pretty sure I'm guna have to wait for the fastboot files unless I can get a recovery on the phone through fastboot

Help! Tried to root after offical ics, now hanging at samsung loading screen.

My phone wont boot now.
It stays stuck at the 2nd Samsung during the boot up.
What happen was I updated today to offical ICS from my rooted gingerbread.
I updated via kias today to get official ICS, got it working and I noticed I didn't have cwm install anymore, so I followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504218
It is pass it did it reboot thing, and never got past the 2nd "samsung" loading screen.
Anyone know how to get my phone booting again?
Flash the latest ICS kernel
I am not sure how to do that without cwm.
Before I updated to ICS when I press power + up down, it booted into CWM. Now when I do that I boots into Android System Recovery <3e>
EDIT: Good news.
Got CWM through installed though odin and then I restored to my gingerbread backup I made earlier.
Flash your roms via clockwork recovery mod from now on.
Drop the ROM .zip on sd card and then enter recovery. Wipe everything three times each then flash a uclf6 based ROM. Never touch Odin or kies again. Be happy. Ice cream sandwich is way better than ginger bread

Had the same exact problem. I "believe" the problem was that the CWM I flashed was perhaps incompatible with the official ICS?
I used Odin to flash cwm 5.5.0.4 as suggested and the fone was shut down with the hanging Samsung screen as you mentioned. I used the DL screen with Odin to the 600mb Team Objection ROM, which at least got me up and running again. I found out that CWM did in fact flash once the ROM was compatible with it. Updated CWM, then to finally get full stability, I had to do a factory reset after clearing both caches, then install the CM9 official.

Update: I installed official ICS again last night, looks like I lost my root and CWM.
I don't want to mess anything up again, so could you tell me exactly what CWM file you used to flash so it doesn't hang at samsung again?
I was having the same problems but I think I was doing it wrong. How are you flashing the root files? I upgraded from Kies, then used Odin to flash cwm touch (5.5.0.4 I think), make sure to let the reboot and that it's actually turned on and you can see your homescreen. Once you do that, THEN flash the superuser 3.0.7 in cwm. Let the phone reboot properly and it should be okay.
I was doing the same without the reboots and that's what caused me to hang at the logo, but after the above it worked well. Give it a try. For anyone who needs to flash the T-Mobile radios also let the phone reboot and then flash it because I was having issues with that which was fixed by letting the phone reboot.
Make nandroids at every step in case it does hang so you can just restore and try again instead of flashing everything all over again.

I've also tried rooting my AT&T Galaxy Note I717 which had recently upgraded to ICS via AT&T/Kies and my phone is stuck at the Samsung boot screen. While I'm no expert with rooting phones, I had no problem rooting it when it had GB installed so I figured I wouldn't have any problems rooting it again. Is flashing the ICS kernel the best way to fix this? Where do I get the ICS kernel from and how do I flash it?
Details: After my phone upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 kernel 3.0.8 (IMM76D.UCLF6), I followed some instructions to root it using Odin3-v1.85 and PDA->pda.tar. Other instructions used cwm-touch-i717-120414.tar.md5 and odin_n1717_cwm_recovery_b4.tar and I tried those but to no avail. So I have CWM v5.5.0.4 installed but I don't know what to do next.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Update: I restored my phone back to a non-rooted working Android 4.0.4 by downloading the stock ROM for my phone (I717UCLF6_I717ATTLF6_I717UCLF6_HOME.tar.md5) and uploading it using Odin3-v1.85/PDA. I didn't even lose any of my settings or data. Now I need to figure out how to successfully root it. But at least I'm not worried about getting stuck on the Samsung screen anymore.
Open odin , PDA cwm file, Droid in dl mode, plug in start unplug, reboot, go to cwm recovery mode and backup onto sd card.
Im learning more, as i soft bricked mine last time

You realize the reason you were stuck was because you flashed a GB kernel onto an ICS system? It would never boot. As the second post suggested... all you had to do was flash an ICS kernel to get it to boot.

I hope they go to the page I made and follow the green arrowed how to root ics...it is very super simple process to root the official ics...but ....
This happened to me after misreading a comment.
If you put your phone into download mode, plug it in, run kies, and do an emergency firmware recovery. You'll need the serial number. My phone is stock ICS again. Works fine.

so cwm 5.5.0.4 touch is a GB kernel? Because that's all I flashed after the KIES update to ICS and I got the hanging Samsung logo.
I believe some people are trying to get ICS rooted with this cwm and are getting stuck. Of course there are ways out of it, but it'll help the learning process if we can find the problem.

Help!!!!

Okay so my friend has a samsung vibrant is wanted to get his phone rooted and went to me. So I rooted it and installed ICS passion 13.1 ROM and it worked fine. Then he wanted jelly bean, so i looked into jelly bean and decided that i wanted to use Slim Bean to install it and it did not work. I download all the necessary files and then put them on the phone. I flashed the first file(t959) then the common file but after i installed the device file(t959) the phone stayed at samsung vibrant for too long. Then i pulled the battery went to CWM and installed the common file and after that i tried to reboot and try out Jelly Bean. It just stayed at the samsung logo. So then i started freaking out but forgot that i still had a backup. I restored the backup that i made earlier(real life saver this time) but there are more problems than i expected. Now the home and search button on his phone doesnt work and he needs jellly bean. What do i need to do to fix the home and search button? Should i reinstall passion ics 13.1 or restore the backup of eclair? If i can fix that how will i go to jelly bean?
Go back to eclair, install a froyo ROM, I used bionix v. Probably doesn't matter. Flash cm9 nightly (latest). Then flash up to Helly Bean (my rom of choice)
Obviously wipe/factory reset/wipe cache/dalvik before each flash step.
Enjoy your buttery jelly beans!
Okay so I need to restore the eclair backup? Why can't I go from jelly bean from passion.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
You might be able to. I don't remember the circumstances, but if I recall correctly, some people have reported having issues going from Passion to JB.
I could be mistaken.
Should I just install cm9 to get to jelly bean then?
Yeah, wipe data, wipe cache, dalvik. Then flash and reboot recovery and flash common. After that I booted up to make sure everything was going as planned. Then I rebooted to recovery wiped again and flashed Helly Bean.
So install cm9 then use your instructions to install slim bean?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Yes. Fire away. If you have any questions feel free to ask. We're here all the time
I would recommend to Odin to eclair, then flash the latest CM10 nightly (you can find the thread in the Dev section). Reboot, then flash again with GApps.

To get the best clean install its best to Odin back to stock however you cannot go from stock straight to cm10.
If you ask what is the best way to get to jb, 3 people will probably give three different answers. I'm not sure what you're running now but its good to upgrade incrementally. Stock>cm7>cm9>jellybean(cm10). After you flash all zips for any ROM, if it gets stuck on boot screen, give it a few minutes sometimes it will take awhile at first. If it doesn't boot pull battery and use 3 button combo back to recovery and reboot. If it still doesn't go pull battery 3 button to recovery and flash everything again no wipe. That usually fixes it.

OTA JB and Safestrap 3.11 problem

I recently performed the steps to update my RAZR MAXX (XT-912 CDMA) to the OTA JB update. I had no issues. I obtained Root privileges and installed the most recent version of Safestrap for my phone (3.11). No problems detected. I then booted into Safestrap recovery and created a new ROM slot. Installed Jellycore V1.5 to it as well as Gapps. Booted to that slot and NOTHING. The screen just goes black after the Safestrap screen. So I booted back into Safestrap recovery and tried to restore my backup to that slot...same result. When the phone is rebooted, it goes to the Safestrap screen where you can select continue or recovery. If I continue (by selection or waiting the 10 seconds) the screen just goes black. I left it that way overnight thinking it might take a while but no. I've tried reinstalling Safestrap, different ROMS, and reinstalling ROMS. Any ideas? Because I need my AOKP.

I am also having the issues mentioned in this forum. I rooted the razr maxx, then installed ss 3.11. I tried installing Jellywiz, and cm10.1 and neither worked. I did install the Vzn JB update for my phone before rooting it. Now the phone just does the boot loop and black screen thing. Any ideas?
if you boot to a blank screen and it stays there more than a minute or so after the kexec vibrate, you need to reboot to SafeStrap - switch to stock and boot it (optionally uninstall and reinstall recovery from the SafeStrap app). Then reboot and select your ROM slot and it should boot fine.

Are you wiping cache, dalvik, system, and factory reset after you create the rom slot? I had issues with a few ROMs until I wiped everything before installing a rom to a new slot. Also, you can run into this if you are trying to install a ROM into a ROM slot that had a different ROM installed on it previously. If that is the case just delete the slot and recreate it. (Oh and make sure it is not the stock rom slot that you are deleting, that would not be good) One last thing, some ROMs only work on ROM slot 1.

[Q] Upgrading from xt910 404 stock to CM10.1

Followed the instructions on the main page of official CM 10.1 & ended up with a bootloop. Wiped caches and user data over & over with no change, so I'm about to downgrade back to 4.0.4 using RSD lite. I'm still determined to get to CM 10.1 on this device though but how do I do that now?
I saw "setting 2init" but I can't make any sense of what it means or how I can make use of it.
While trying to figure it out, I found the guide to upgrade to official JB but the JB OTA file it points to is for the xt912 (I'm using the xt910).
NOTE: I'm not going with the official JB, but it is the only other comprehensive guide I could find for upgrading from 4.0.4.
How do I get CM 10.1 on this phone now?

No. thankfully I can still get to recovery & fastboot
Make sure you install it in second system, your razr will bricked if you install on the first system
And also, make sure you wipe cache/dalvik cache before flashing and factory reset(if you are going to install a other rom) . You need to format /system and wipe cache/dalvik if you are going to update cm10.1 to a new nightly .

the reason its showing nothing when you booted your phone is becuase you have wiped you first system! so now i recommend you to factory reset in the stock revocery and flash the 672.180.14.XT910.Retail.en.EU firmware at this link : http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umt...SPDRICSRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml.zip
so you can get the jelly bean leak without erasing your cid (not for the xt912). after that, you can install cm10.1 . The tutorial are here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192532
I literally just finished using RSD Lite to reflash a new ICS rom back onto stock slot. So I'm safe. I'll be working with slot 2 now.
So TheMrcool212 you're saying to use the tutorial to pave the way for CM 10.1? Does it matter that my device is from the UAE?

yes, because the recovery is installed on the first system, if your device is from UAE, its just doesnt matter, but i recommend you to flash the European firmware so you can get the jelly bean leak
I couldn't find the "set 2-init" option in BMM so I skipped it and CM 10.1 is working just fine (installed with bmm) :good:
dont forget to flash whirleys "why we have to...zip" file after flashing cm10.1

you can set 2-init by going to first bootmenu screen > settings > (the system number of the rom you want to set) > boot mode >

Followed the instructions:
To apply the JB OTA you have to be on 672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU without any Modifications, like deleted System Apps or changed Boot.img / Baseband.
I recommend to start with an fresh RSD Lite - Flash, before you try to apply the OTA.

I keep getting lucky with this thing. Apparently part of the problem was that the battery was flat. Odd seeing as I made sure to be 100% before I got started.

I used RSD Lite. Yes I am. About to root & go on to the next steps:
Downloads
OTA Update Zip
Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper
How To
I'll show you how you have to apply the Update without loosing your Root.
1. Copy the Blur_Version.672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU.zip into the Root of your external SD-Card
2. Update your SU-Binarys
3. Install the Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper on your Device and open it. Choose Protect Root and temp. unroot
4. Boot into Stock Recovery
5. Wipe Cache
6. Choose apply Update from external Storage and select the Blur_Version.672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU.zip. Wait untill the Update-Process is finished and your RAZR is booted completely
7. The last step is to open the Voodoo Rootkeeper again and to restore your Root.

To be clear. After this, what do I do to get CM 10.1. Follow these instructions? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028020 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39166589&postcount=914
UPDATE
Followed the instructions. Got nothing. Not even the cyanogenmod logo. At least now I have the stock rom running Blur_Version.672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU.
