Hi,
Yesterday I did the upgrade in my Razr to JellyBean 4.1.2 using the BMM.
Everything was OK, but at night, I did the biggest mistake: I installed CWM !!!
Yes... I was really stupid.
Now the mobile didnt work. after the boot (with Motorola red logo), the screen goes black and nothing happens.
I´ve tried everything that I found on the internet, without sucess.
I really appreciate if someone could help me to unbrick my razr.
Thanks

Do you have the Verizon RAZR? There are fast boot files available now for rsd lite or use matt's newest utility to sbf

Press hold all 3 buttons to reboot for 10+ seconds. Let go then immediately press hold both volume buttons again. You'll see a boot menu screen. Choose AP fastboot, then run Matt's utility to get back to stock and start over.
Sliced in with my Razr Maxx....

This is my first post on XDA, so hello everyone! lol I think I've graduated from "noob" to eager learner, but this one has me stumped. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
I have a Verizon cdma RAZR Maxx, rooted, running Eclipse v1.3 custom ROM, 2.3.6., and cwm/bootstrap. I'm wanting to check out the new ICS ROM, but I can't get back to stock! When I tried recovery it said no files found. I tried RSD lite and it said it failed. I've tried wiping cache and factory reset too and none of that helped. I'm not sure which direction to go now...any ideas?
try using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486718
Add to original post
I forgot to add that I also tried mattlgroff's utility and it kept saying that the system could not find the correct path...??????
are you sure you are in fastboot mode
fastboot mode
Yes. I powered down holding the power and vol+- buttons, released power, and waited til the black screen w/white letters came up. I vol- twice to AP Fastboot, the vol+ to select. Then plugged in the phone and waited until it said USB connected and started the utility. I selected option one and followed the instructions from there and it wouldn't work.
I have another razr maxx with a shattered screen that I have to send back to the insurance company. It's rooted but still running stock. Can I pull the system files from it and push them to my other razr?
Hello,
I've searched for help on this and can't seem to find any.
Problem: Motorola Razr is stuck on the red m logo, but I cannot boot into the boot menu to flash via RSD or anything. The logo is offset to the left a little and has a small 1-2 pixel high rainbow of colors across the bottom. When trying to boot into the menu with power and vol + & - it simply boots without a logo but still the small bar of colors.
Probable cause: Phone's screen wasn't turning on and the phone wouldn't turn off so I did the reset with vol up and power while the phone was still probably on. Before when my phone's button wasn't responsive i used that to reset it and it had worked.
Info on phone and rom:
Rom - Rage rom 2.2 upgraded from 2.1 (worked for the past two months fine)
Phones base version: 98.72.16 (the april JB release) flashed via droid razr utility
Safestrap version 3.11
What I've tried: was going to try rsd flashing but i can't reach the boot menu.
Basic summary: Stuck on M logo and can't get into boot menu or safestrap, after holding vol up + power while phone was on.
Going into the boit manager and flashing via rsd lite both are different .
For flashing via rsd lite ya need to switch off ya mobile and then press both volume down and volume up at same time and press power button then.
It ll take ya into the bootloader and then using power down come till 3rd option ap fastboot and then press power up to select that now connect ya phone to pc and then flash the fastboot using rsd lite
Edit : make sure ya have installed appropriate drivers to get recognise ya phone by rsd lite
Thanks!!

I think i have the same problem
I had MIUI on my Razr and today i wanted to try CyanogenMod, so i downlaoded it and installed it with ClockWorkMod, then rebooted and struck in the big red M, and no way to access the boot manger because if i press volume up + volume down + power it reboot, show the big red M then black sceen, and if it's conneced to my pc it tryes to install some drivers bit it fail, but still black screen
Is it bricked? What can i do?

Ya can't use boot manager and cwm recovery both . If ya want to use cwm ya need to remove all the files of bmm . Its just soft bricked not hard bricked so no need to worry just flash the appropriate fastboot file using rsd lite to get back to stock
Thats it
Edit : i think ya know the flashing method

Thanks for trying but I tried following your instructions to get into fast boot and the screen just goes dark. Also when plugging into my PC it pops up on windows' end saying that a USB device has malfunctioned. I think I may just get it replaced under warranty unless sometime soon I find out theres a new way to fix it. But yeah it seems its too hard to tell if I'm actually in fastboot or if its even getting there properly.
Thanks!
As far as i know ya have tried all the unbrick method , none of them seemed to work . I believe ya razr is not soft or hard bricked and its not software problem too . Its hardware problem ya need to take it to service centre because it may be LED problem
Thanks!!

How I fixed my Motorola Razr i (Intel)
Hello guys,
Since my Motorola Razr i phone is a company phone where I receive my corporate emails, I wasn't allowed to root the phone whatsoever.
My phone got stuck on the Red Motorola logo under normal usage. One day I turned it off and when I turned it back on, I had this problem.
How I solved it:
1) Downloaded and installed RSD Lite 6.1.4 which worked on Windows 8.1. Ensure all drivers are installed and that nothing is undetected in Device Manager. #important
2) I am based in Germany and I had the Vodafone Retail (EU) version. So I downloaded "CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml.zip" from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=13. This corresponds to Android 4.1.2 Retail Europe.
3) I booted the phone in Fastboot (Power + Vol down; after restart and little vibrate, release power, keep finger on Vol down.)
4) The phone was detected in RSD Lite. I chose the zip file, unpacked and flashed.
5) Done. Phone was fresh. No warranty was void, nothing was rooted. All good.
Hope that helps somebody out there!
Cheers,
Shailen.
I've got the same issue. Took the OTA (was on stock OTA, rooted). Not, nothing but moto-logo with the only working option being AP Fastboot. Tried script utility to bring back to 4.1.2, but it fails on writing system and boot (preflash validation failed FAILED (remote failure)).
Is there another way to get the stock images flashed on there?

Well, with RSDLite 6.1.6 and the most recent build from droid-developers . org I'm back in operation. Old version, wiped out, but at least I can make/receive phone calls.
How I got my Razr HD (XT925) Working! Flashed It WITHOUT LOSE ANY FILES!
I know this is a old thread, but if some one else falls here just like me, I had a problem with my XT925 too, and figured out that my only choice was to flash it up.
My phone was stuck in the red motorola logo, and it doesn't even tried to load the android.
After reading a lot of information and tried EVERYTHING, I fall here, and the comment of @shailentj saved my phone!
So I basically followed the steps that @shailentj posted in this very thread, with some differences.
1 - His link goes directly to Motorola RAZR i (XT890), but if you access ' sbf.droid-developers.org ' (I can't post links yet) you will be able to find your own model, which in my case was Razr HD (XT925).
2 - Extracted the whole firmware package (.zip file) and edited the .xml file, removing the "getvar" line. If you don't know what or how to do this, is just remove the line where you find the text "getvar". If you have trouble, just google it, there is a lot of information.
And finally, the reason I'm here. I found a way to don't delete USER DATA! My phone stuck, and I did't have any backup of my contacts (that is a lot of numbers) nor my files (photos, movies).
So I start to read the .xml file, and find a step "userdata", with operation "erase". This line says to erase the user's data partition, and in most cases, we don't want that.
Then, just remove the line in the xml written: " <step operation="erase" partition="userdata"/> ", and your files (may) not be erased!
4 - I start to flash, and then I got the infamous message "sistem_signature" failed. The solution was just download the last RSD I found (which in my case was 6.1.6).
5 - My phone restarts, with everything working great, system restored and ALL MY FILES AND CONTACT NUMBERS were there!
So very thank you @shailentj, your post really helped me a lot!
And yeah, you can flash your phone without lose any contacts or photos!
Now go, and spread the word!

I have a Motorola Droid RAZR XT912. I was rooted on 4.1.2 and tried flashing a custom rom. Everything went good, when the phone rebooted the red Motorola logo came up, then it went to a black screen where it stayed. I have tried rebooting several times, same thing happens. I am also unable to access Fastboot. Any one have any idea how to fix this?
Hold both volume buttons and power until the screen turns off. Press and hold them again and you should get into the bootloader menu. Choose ap fastboot, and then connect to your computer and fxz. If you truly can't get into the bootloader menu, you are pretty much screwed. But if you can get to the moto logo you can almost always get to the bootloader menu.
I must not have had the right timing when I tried that before, but I just got in! Thank you!
Hi, got a problem with my Motorola Razr MAXX after doing a factory reset.
Everything was working OK after installed Safestrap 3.11. For some reason
I did a factory reset and the following happened:
The phone will boot into the main screen [SAFESTRAP:ENABLES] with
[MENU FOR RECOVERY] on the bottom left hand corner and [SEARCH
TO CONTINUE] on the lower right hand corner.
If I press [SEARCH TO CONTINUE] it goes black screen for about 6 seconds
and vibrate once and continue black screen for another 15 seconds and Motorola
logo showed up for 10 econds or so and back to Safestrap main screen again.
And continue again and again like this in a loop.
If I press [MENU FOR RECOVERY] it goes black screen and nothing happens.
Seems to have switched itself off.
Please help! Thanks!

Have you tried Matt's Utility? If not you should be able to head over to Droidrzr.com and download Matt's all in one utility and take care of things from there as long as you can get into fastboot mode.

Hi, I just started flashing for the first time.
I first did a root using EternityProject EasyRootICS v1.5.
Then I installed recovery Razr ClockWorkMod Touch 5.8.4.5 Black Edition and made a backup.
Then I flashed this rom ([ROM][4.4.4][AOSP][CDMA/GSM][Unofficial] SlimKat)
I did a clean install and after pressing reboot, it stays a blank screen. When I disconnect my USB, I hear the sound of a device disconnecting vice versa meaning my phone is still working??
My previous android was running 4.0.4.
Please help?

I've tried holding the power button and volume down button. It manages to restart and I see my motorolo logo, and once it finishes loading, it goes back to blank screen again. My computer registers the device connected as it plays the sound, but the screen is still blank! Any help please?

You shouldn't install CWM,you must install Safestrap or BootMenuManager.
I suggest you to go back to stock with RSD Lite and start over.

OMG Thanks for your reply! I've just looked into RSD Lite and I can't power off my phone... It is actually on, and when i press power and volume down, it restarts it! What do I do to enter RDS Lite?
Ok, I got it by holding power and volume down, and once it blacks out, let go of power button and hold volume up button..
Now onto RDS Lite, it's saying failed flashing process. 1/24 flash cdt.bin_signed -> Phone returned failed
