What are the consequences of flashing custom ROM on stock slot?
In my scenario
I have Motoroal razr xt910 ME version.
I am using BMM to flash custom ROM on other slots.
Now its confirmed that my device will not be getting JB 4.1, I want to flash other custom ROM on stock slot.
Any comments and suggestion are welcomed.
Thanks in advance,
You will havr more space to install apps ando your stoc will be gone, so make backups in case...

Thanks Steven87.
After installing custom JB ROM in stock slot, will I be able to use RSD to return back to ICS if anything goes wrong?

You need to install Motorola drivers but I guess that you already did that...
If RSD Lite recognize your phone then you should be fine

First...to which ROM is the best...depends on you're style and device. All devices aren't equal...even when they are the same variant.But I like the 4.3 ROMs.Look at my SIG to see which one I'm running today...Lol.
Now..on to you're rooting. You most definitely need to update to 4.0.4 ICS..I have a guide after you're on that version so you can root and stay stock or flash a custom ROM.But you need the ICS boot loader to flash almost all of the new jelly bean ROMs, if not all of them.I believe when you do the official update from kies it will install that boot loader.( never had to as my device was on 4.0.4 unrooted ).
Back up you're tab to you're PC before you go updating..The update might wipe sdcard, not sure. And in case the update goes side ways on ya.
Let me know if you need any help.

Getting to the safe side , the best is using traditional flashing to ICS then to JB.
I am currently rooted for HC.The ordering , I need to flash it to samsung ICS first ? which mean , I need to unroot my device ?
Or I can just flash to custom roms ICS ?
Currently , stuck at this point.Which is the correct procedure ?
Flash stock ICS first using Odin first. Then you can flash to any version you want.

No. Just flash it with Odin. Don't use that ROM. That is a modified version. Download the stock ROMs at www.sammobile.com.

I am using Safestrap 3.11 and have my stock/primary ROM and using ROM slot 1 for different daily driver. My stock ROM is one that I used to get out of a brick situation so isnt important to me anymore, but the ROM in slot 1 is working very well. I would like to make Slot 1 my stock ROM or primary ROM and burn current stock/primary. Is it possible? and what is the best practice way to do it using backups etc
Thanks
Whay you want to do isn't possible.
You can flash a custom ROM on the stock slot using SS 3.5.* - 3.6 or BMM.
However, you cannot flash the stock ROM to any rom-slot.
Stock ROM will only work on Stock Slot.

So to change the stock ROM I would need to delete SS after copying slot 1 rom to PC [eg] install that new rom as new stock and
then reinstall SS to have the slots free again, does that make sense, or have I made it too complicated. I just dont need the primary ROM anymore

locked bootloader
I think I have answered my own query, in that because the Razr has a locked bootloader I have to use SS or similar to install other ROMs. Can I fool it by using RSD lite to install a different stock/primary ROM and then go from there with SS? Or is it a case of going back to base non rooted sbf and then rooting again etc?

You cannot flash a non-Motorola ROM using RSDLite.
However if you want to flash a custom ROM to stock slot, there's no need to make it that complicated.
You can simply do it as you would flash a custom ROM to any other slot.
Though if anything goes wrong you will need RSDLite to recover and flash back the stock.

thanks for response
Thanks for the help I will give it a try.
I have upgraded my device from stock ICS to stock Jelly Bean, after that to Cyanogenmod 11 Nightly, and I want to try new roms and try the stock JB some more (I only tried it for half a day or so), so I'm wondering if the downgrading process is the same as the upgrading process ? Do I just have to transfer the rom+gapps to SD card, clear cash and flash or there's something to do before that ?
NOTE : I don't wanna use ODIN .... It doesn't get along with my device

Use any latest Philz Kernel flash it from recovery and then flash any custom jb rom.
If you want stock jb for that you have to use Odin.

No,you don't need anything,as @Jeetu explained,if you want to go completely stock,Odin is the way to go.

No,there isn't.
And you can't flash stock rom with SS...or any custom GB rom because you're on ICS.
Try Liquidsmooth Milestone version,that's Kitkat 4.4.4
