I'm running a RAZR MAXX XT912. Around Christmas I loaded it up with the Jellybean OTA leak ROM (98.72.8.XT912.Verizon.en.US kernel) and all was well and everything worked how it should. Using Safestrap, I flashed WYKA (version 2.x) on slot 1 and since it was built on the same kernel as the leak ROM, both my stock and my slot 1 ROMs worked perfectly.
Shortly after the Official Jellybean OTA was released, WYKA updated to version 3.x and stopped working. It required a kernel update 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US to fix the problem. I updated the kernel and my WYKA ROM on slot 1 was working great, but now my stock ROM won't boot because it uses a different kernel.
I have tried several things to get my stock ROM to work:
1. I tried a factory reset in Recovery mode
2. I tried to downgrade the kernel back to the leak kernel
3. I tried flashing the ROM I have installed on slot 1 to the stock ROM
None of these methods have worked for me. Now my stock ROM is unable to boot and is basically stuck in a reboot cycle. Luckily my slot 1 ROM is still working great, so at least I'm not without a working ROM, but I really want to have my stock ROM working if at all possible.
Do you have any suggestions on what I should try next?

Reflash with what? WYKA or OTA?
Is there someplace where I can download the official Jellybean OTA with the 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US kernel and flash it from Recovery?

if your version is that 9.8.2O-72_VZW-16
Blur_Version.98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US you can find i here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_spyder/list.php
if you flash ota.
but you can wait for someone for reply and help you with another way.
by the way read this
Once you flash this firmware, you cannot flash another with lower Main Secure Version (results stuck at mbm).
Main Secure Version (secure version of cdt.bin) is written to eFuse.
This firmware requires following secure versions to boot. Partitions marked as "checked once" are checked
only after being flashed with fastboot (or RSD Lite).
You can try using this: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...xt912-jellybean-windows-mac-linux-all-in-one/
That will give you stock back.
Thanks guys! I'm downloading both the ROM and firmware flashing tool... I'll let you know how it works out!

You are joking right?
Have you tried this CM9/
Neo
Neo V
Its the OFFICIAL STABLE cyanogenmod for the NEO. It is VERY STABLE and has everything working.
Apart from that, to revert back to stock, just flash a stock kernel (Or any modded kernel for stock) and restore the backup you made before flashing the cm9 rom.

The roms that you have suggested are for "neo". i am using "neo v" and the reson i wanna go back to stock is because i con not onnect to my gmail account with cm9 over data connection. Its giving me some sort of an error: can not establish reliable connection....."...
now for going back to stock ics can i just flash it via cwm and i will be back in stock ics? dont i need to flash karnel or anything like that?

I just added the link for the neo v
Yes, you need stock kernel.(or modded kernel for stock roms)
The kernel for CM will not work with stock rom.
My suggestion is to try the stable cm9 for neo v from my link. If you are still unhappy then download a stock kernel, flash it it fastboot then restore your stock backup in recovery.
Do remember, if you flash stock kernel you will have to install a recovery. Or you can flash the alliance kernel from this thread

Rule number 1
Always backup, just in case you **** up!
Anyway, no problem, there are several options.
Find a stock .ftf in the dev section and flash that in flashtool after you have flashed the stock kernel.
Or, repair phone software using PCCompanion.
This will revert your phone to factory settings (Out of the box).
Or just follow the instructions in any "stock" based custom rom. I recommend Ice cream Pureness. Its a very good stock ICS based rom, fully functional and stable

thanks... i have flashed stock karnel then installed stock rom... it worked like charm!!...
Soo... first, i just couldnt understand how to upgrade to JB while being able to go back to ICS, only to find out how easy it was after i had already flashed the Fido firmware through RSD Lite, destroying any possibility of going back to ICS -_- anyways, i rooted it and flashed a stock JB Rom i was looking forward to flashing since i started to check out the Rom selection (it was the stock JB Brasil.en.BR) and as i flashed it, the phone wouldnt boot -___- it would stay stuck right before the boot animation with the red led on.... so i managed to flash back to the Fido firmware through RSD and rooted it again, then flashed cm10.1 and it actually went well! it flashed and booted like its supposed to!! but, then again, as perfect as it seems for aosp lovers, it just aint for me... so i tried to flash the stock JB Rom i originally had in mind from cm10.1, only to see it fail again and get stuck during boot before the boot animation... then i tried flashing another JB Rom (my first rom v0.91 i believe its called) and the same happened... btw, i was wiping data, cache and dalvik cache in between each Rom flash... so, i just gave up and restored my backup of the Fido firmware that i had made before i started attempting all the flashing... for all this i used BMM v3.4 and my Razr model is XT910 LATAM... anyways, im just hoping for someone out there to illuminate me and help me understand how exactly is an individual supposed to flash a rom to an XT910?? thanks in advanced!
since you upgraded to JB, you cannot flash ics roms due to raised level of security
you can flash latam jb based roms (see artur's) and any kexec based rom
maybe you can also flash eu jb roms, but I'm not sure. You can try
To do that enter recovery (BMM, safestrap cannot flash kernels), make a backup of your kernel and CID, erase CID, Wipe all, flash eu jb kernel, flash rom, reboot
if you did remain on ICS you could flash anything you Want, but it's too late

so, if i got this right, i can flash a rom from any region as long as i first flash a jb kernel of the rom's region (eg. flash an .FR jb kernel to use an .FR based rom)? if so, that pretty much leaves me wondering where i can get these kernels, and with the task to backup my stock kernel and cid... thans for ur response!
all eu jb kernels are the same and it is possible that latam and eu to be compatible

With jb eu kernel you can flash eu jb based roms, of course, not any rom
also you can flash any kexec rom, it does not matter Which kernel you have
try to flash eu jb kernel and if succeeded flash one of roms from dev section based on this kernel
if you cannot, install artur's rom based on latam jb rom

ah ok, im pretty much clear now.. sorry for asking much, ive never had this regional restrictions on any other phone ive had.. ill go ahead and search for one of these eu kernels and see how it all goes with flashing! once again, i first flash the kernel and right after i flash the rom, right? without rebooting recovery? and also, if im using bmm, do i flash the kernel like a regular zip or using the flash kernel menu that everyone always says not to use?
first, make a backup of your kernel, then flash eu kernel, then wipe all, flash rom and reboot
make a backup of CID then erase it (not sure that is necessary for your region, but just in case)
kernels should be flashed using command flash firmware. Make sure that there is NO SPACE into the path of desired kernel like:
firmware/EU_JBKernel/boot.img any punctuation is accepted, but no space!
kexec should be flashed as regular zip
all of this is valid using BMM
for other info check this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155576
tutorial of how to BMM is on the way on this thread. keep an eye on it!

i noticed that thread there has 3 jb kernels.. if i wanna flash the DSEA v1.25 rom, do i flash the latam jb kernel and then the rom? also, i noticed most roms dont include the appropiate jb kernel to flash the rom.. how do i go about that?

Well, that thread contains kernels for eu, latam and verizon.
For DSEA you need first. Flash eu kernel and rom, order is not important.
There are a few roms based on latam, see them
For verizon check this:
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/forum/156-droid-razr-roms/
For them you need a gsm patch, read threads for it
Gsm patch must be flashed after the rom
Currently I have Legacy Xperia 10.1 installed on my Sk17i (Mini Pro) device. As per instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2545367 it seems like we should first flash to stock then try flashing 11.0.
Is that really necessary or I can directly upgrade from 10.1?
--Edit--
Requirements:
* Have the stock ICS 4.1.B.0.587 full ftf flashed (doesn't matter if you have flashed it in the past or if you flash it before installing cm11.0, it will work both ways)

If you ever flashed stock ICS rom, and later moved on to cm10, cm10.1 you don't have to reinstall stock ICS. You can install new cm11 kernel (via fastboot). Do the formatting as indicated and then flash cm11 rom.
IF HOWEVER you never flashed stock ICS you need first to flash it.
I hope this is clear. I upgraded this way and cm11 works like a charm.

Thanks, I already did that. I had once before flashed to 10.1. So, now I directly flashed to 11.0.
Flashing stock is required only for having the latest baseband. You can just download the baseband from here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1707269 (Go with the latest one, i.e. , 77) an then flash but if you already have the latest one no need Also baseband is just 10-11 MB
Happy flashing

New firmware is out NJ6. I can't get the OTA yet but it is available from KIES. Hopefully this will solve all of my signal issues.
I saw this on sammobile as well...most likely this will close the current root loophole...will wait patiently until an awesome developer can create a rooted 4.4.4 rom.
Yes, I did lose root but that is okay with me if it helps my signal. Haven't been able to test it in problem areas yet.

I actually have 4.4.4 rooted right now on my device but safestrap doesn't work properly now. It starts to load but then reboots into OS.
The first 4.4.4 rom I made would boot, but only had a black screen (kernel modules didn't match boot.img), then I tried the nj6 boot.img and got the warning about unauthorized kernel. So, I decided to try one more thing. I reflashed the pre-rooted 4.4.4 rom I made and then flashed all of the 4.4.4 firmware in Odin EXCEPT for the system partition. This allowed me to boot into my rooted nj6 4.4.4 rom.

I was having the same issue when I tried to port Sprint 4.4.4 It would boot but I get black screen... Are you sure you flashed the 4.4.4 bootloader?
I would try to make a deodex 4.4.4 system flashable zip and flash and then right after it reboot to odin and flash the 4.4.4 kernel might work without flashing the bootloader and that way we have a working SS.
Kind of a newb to Note 3 firmware upgrades. I just downloaded the new NJ6 firmware from Sammobile. What's the best way to flash this?

I tried that and it didn't work. The NC4 bootloader won't let you use the NJ6 boot.img. It gives the unauthorized software message.

P15_GQ3039LF1_Ulefone_T1_V05_20171030 - full_p15v57c2k_gq_tee-user 7.0 NRD90M
Why has one rom a V06 and one a v05 mark?
Did you every figure out what the difference is I'm tempted to upgrade but want to see if it's works properly or not
No luck in finding out what te difference is. It is a big mistery to me. I flashed the phone with the newest rom and everything works fine.

Ok thanks
Hey did you flash with the computer or using recovery on the phone?
I've got it
The difference between them is the v05 is for the regular one and v06 is for the premium one. I always flash on pc but i use Ubuntu.
