Install BMM (BOIT MENU MANAGER) Iys more secure then any others like ss or cmw . Now a days nost of the custom roms are coming for bmm only so look around in devlopment section fo it

I disagree.. Safe strap is much more forgiving than BMM, And I've yet to see more than 1-2 ROMs for only BMM. Safe strap is supported on almost every RAZR ROM that I've seen. Also, if you screw up, Safe strap can normally (see: "normally") still allow you to have a working system.
Safestrap is safer, bootmenu has a few more options... Use one of the two depending con which ROM you want...

I figured out BMM faster than SS, which happened to soft-brick my phone. Also, I replaced stock ICS with JB on BMM, which I couldn't figure out on the other one.
BMM can install any ROM you want. Just use System 2, and kexec roms (for not to flash jb kernel) and you'll never loose your stock one.

There is a way to root 4.1.2. Just use matts utility 1.9 to root it! It should be in the dev section!

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.

what custom recovery do you have Safestrap or BMM?
i believe i have non right now // is there a tutorial for that or can i use the same apk i used for ics??
would you recommend safestrap or bmm?
Is there a way of doing this? Runnig 4,1,2 with the system version 982.124.14.XT910.Retail.en.AU with custom rom DSEA0588 v1.22en.
I do got BMM 0.3.4 installed and I am rooted.
Yeah there are so many custom ROMs are available in development section . Try to flash that if ya rooted
If ya don't have root privilege then ya need to wait because probably there are very rare chances to released 4.2.2 upgrade in next 2-3 months .
Hit the thx button if i helped ya in anyways
Well, OP says he's got BMM so he's gotta have root. Installing a 4.2.2 rom is the same as any other - I'd suggest LiquidSmooth - it's the most complex and good looking one of them (IMO of course).

NP. You might want to combine it with JBX kernel - I'm using it's battery saver edition and it works pretty damn good!
Alright thanks, so I just have to flash a rom, Can I then Relfash a rom with 1,2,2 if I wanted to?

Yeah, cause all 4.2.2 roms are kexec (have their own kernels embedded), you still remain on 4.1.2 kernel for older roms.
Okay

I think the kernel ya link up is only working with cm10 and liquid smooth.
Make a backup and then try to flash , in case if it doesn't work and ya stuck somewhere or ya get bootloops then restore ya backup.
Thay kernel is really batterysaver because i used it long back when when i had rooted RAZR
Thanks!!

Okay, that's what I thought. Liquid Smooth looks like a nice rom but there seems to be many people expericencing it unstable. Think I will wait a little while for a better version of it. Thanks.
Flashed it but it didn't work. Used my backup.
Hey guys,
i have a problem with my phone (Droid Razr, XT910 with Stock Android 4.1.2).
Today I decided to root my phone and install a custom rom.
At first I got root, then I have rebooted my phone and everything workes OK.
After that I installed RazrTouchBlack.apk and clicked on "Install Clockworkmod touch" and afterwards "reboot cwm touch".
The phone made a reboot and i backed up my system with the backup function in cwm.
Then i did a reboot and the Error "Encryption unsuccessful" occurs:
I tried to use the "Reset phone" function but after the next reboot the same error occurs again.
At next I tried to open the "Recovery" but that screen comes up:
After hours of searching the Net I haven't any idea anymore.
May someone help me?
Thanks in advance

How can i get CWM to work?
I tried RazrTouchBlack.apk and RazrBootstrap.apk
Is this "Encryption" a Feature/Bug which can be turned off?
Avoid using CWM.
Use Safestrap or BMM instead.

Ok, thanks. I'll give Safestrap a try.
Safestarp is better then cwm but if still ya want cwm just use bootstrap to install cwm . Thats pretty easier

Hi Anurag,
Thanks for your help.
I have the same problem with this Encryption Unsuccessful message.
I flashed the new MIUI v. 3.9.27 on my XT910. I followed the instructions as I always do, but can't get pass this screen.
I also tried Android Razr HD Utility and sometimes it allows me to use my phone, but whenever I have to reboot it, it goes straight to the AP fastboot screen.
I've tried to flash an ICS ROM just to restart it all, but it says my phone is locked and I can't flash it.
And if I can choose to go to recovery, appears this screen with android and the red triangle, like a dead end.
I'm a complete noob, but I can follow the steps, hehehe. If you could help me out here, and point me some tutorial to get out of this mess, I will apreciate.
Thanks

Are You Using RSDlite To flash?
Thank you Vince.
I managed to flash a stock Moto JB ROM back to my phone and I was wondering how to root it again.
Nick, yes. I was using RDS Lite and I finally did it. I don't know exactly what I did differently. But it worked.
Now I am wondering If I should try again to flash MIUI or if I will stick to this lousy Motorola ROM.
Should I?
Thanks again!
Lucas
I have used for so long the MIUI on my old DHD first and on the RAZR later, and i can say that is not the best rom ever, because it's based on stock kernel. yes you can change UI, manage options etc but if the kernel is the same I think is not a good job. I can reccomend the CM. The 10.1 is JB 4.2.2 based and it's stable version, the 10.2 is JB 4.3 based and it's a nightlies, but i run the last one and use it for daily use with the JBX Kernel with no problem. Try and give a look on the development thread there are a lot of roms that you can try!
Have a nice mod! :good:

dont use that junk CWM stuff as it will brick your phone
Alrighty! So I have a Razr Maxx on Verizon running 4.1.2 JB. I'm looking to flash CM 10.1 on this guy.
So I've figured out that I can root it without a problem. I'm seeing that you can use Razr Blade or ADB. At any rate, i'm trying to figure out if in order to flash CM 10.1, you need to be on stock Firmware. Do I need to be on ICS or Gingerbread (whichever came on Razr) to flash CM 10.1? If so, all the tools that would allow me to do this tell me that one can't go from JB to ICS. Can anyone help out? Also, if i'm correct, you need to first root, then flash. Right? Thanks!

Why do you talking about ICS and Gingerbread when you are on JB?
And yes,you can't go back and you don't need to,just root the phone,install BMM or Safestrap and flash the rom.

Stock Firmware means anything released by Motorola.
The rough process is simple.
Root
Install Safestrap(safer to use) or BMM(many advanced options)
Download the ROM & Gapps(optinal)
Boot into Recovery
Create A rom-slot
flash your ZIP
Reboot

Hey guys I have tested many ROMs and ask far my favorite is the stock ROM rooted I am going to deodex it when I get time. My problem is that my hotspot don't work. It freezes when it turns on. It is part of my plan and worked before safe strap and root. I read a post in here said I needed safe strap version 2. Something for it to work. Any one running newest safe strap on stock ROM with working hotspot ? Anyone know how to revert back from 3.7 to 2 ?

So, have both versions on your system. I got a good copy of v3.65 for XT912 here, And XT910 here.
Uninstall the recovery while running v3.73 of Safestrap
Uninstall Safestrap v3.73
Install Safestrap v3.65
Install the recovery while running v3.65
Do the above all at one time do NOT reboot in between steps, only reboot when you have the recovery installed!
