Installing rom, stuck in boot loop. Help - Motorola Droid RAZR

I have a razr maxx.
Having trouble installing a new rom. Not new to rooting and flashing but I am to the Motorola and safe strap. I have safestrap. 3.11 and trying to install Jellywiz. I have rooted and installed safestrap correctly. After I created a new rom slot I clear cache, dev, and factory reset. Then install the zip file. Then reboot, I see the safestrap flash screen than hit search to bypass. Then the Motorola logo pops up, goes blank then back to the safestrap screen again. Keeps going back and forth in a loop. Hopefully this made sense. Any advise would help! Thanks.

Alright there's only a couple ROMs currently running on that kernel and jellywiz isn't one of them. Look here
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...l-switch-between-jellybean-kernels-with-ease/
Use that to switch to the Christmas kernel and you can then run ROMs that haven't been updated yet

I'm having the same problem... So the Kernel from the Christmas release differs from the OTA that was sent out this week?

[Q] I need to know which recovery to use.

So I have cm10 unofficial 09-26-12 installed on my razr using Safestrap 2.11.
I went back to the Motorola ICS because of the bugs that CM10 had, so now I want to update the old CM10 with the latest one 11-16-12.
However, I'm not sure if I need to update to ST v3 or would 2.11 work fine for it?
On the goo spyder section, STOCK-cm-10-20121116-UNOFFICIAL-spyder.zip
I think you must use the newest version of ST, so the 3.05.
What does the Dev say in the first post of the thread that you are going to get your rom from?

I'm getting from goo.im which doesn't have instructions.
i think safe strap is the best option for recovery.... the new version 3.0.5 .... and there will be further development on this recovery ....

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:

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.

I did it with ICS Kernel, and Safestrap 3.11 on Slot-1-2GB. Worked as expected.

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,

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.

[Q] Update ICS to JB w/ custom ROM

Any JB custom ROMs that I can flash over my ICS rom? I have the JB OTA but don't want to have to go back to a stock ICS ROM, reroot and then rebuild my system.
Wait are you currently running the ota or stock .211 ICS? The way you worded everything is throwing me off lol.

Thanks anyway.
I'm still on ICS .211, and am trying to go from ICS to JB with custom ROM. To use this linked ROM I already have to be on the JB OTA.
Just to clarify...
Can I upgrade from a custom ICS ROM to a JB ROM? I want to avoid having to reset to a stock ICS, reroot, then upgrade to JB. Is this possible? Hopefully this is more understandable.

You can use a jb ROM based on the ICS kernel but things will be broken and not work right.

[Q] Reverting from 98.72.16 (JB OTA) to 6.16.211 (ICS) - Razr MAXX

Hi, all! JB is looking great on my Razr, but at this point I'm in need of reverting back to the official 6.16.211 ICS version.
The main question here is, of course: is this possible? I have the Droid RAZR Utility 1.82 installed on my computer, but I'm hesitant to just use the Fastboot Restore 6.16.211 option for fear of bricking my precious phone!
Can anyone enlighten me?
Thanks so much!

It's not possible to revert back to ICS from JB -- just as it wasn't possible to revert from ICS back to GB.
When updating to JB, the bootloader signature and kernel versions change, which do not allow "downgrading" back to ICS.

Well, there's my question answered! Thank you very much.
To add.
I'm on JB right now. Would fastboot do the trick to get back down to ics? Or am I going to have to do it the old fashion way? (RSD)

My thoughts exactly PRS!
This is what happens when ppl don't READ THE OP . If ppl would ,they would see in big bold letters"There is no way too downgrade from this" Also why would anyone want to go back down to ICS ? If your phone is borked learn how to use the proper files to fastboot flash system. The first thing anyone should install is safestrap anyway, this protects your original system state. SMH
Strange because I have an EU Droid Razr Maxx and I erased my CID then installed vrz jb leak then reflashed the CID and reverted back to ICS EU and now I'm on EU JB.
I think VRZ JB and ICS EU have the same security version (CDT) but the new JB EU is having higher CDT (7) so there is no way back to ICS unless you flashed the EU JB ZIP instead of applying the JB EU OTA over the ICS EU.
