Hi everyone
Before 2 weeks I got my Motorola razr XT910 then I root it everything was fine until I change the font on my razr then I didn't like it so I changed it back using Root manger after that it won't stop rebooting it will boot until the vibration on the boot screen then it will reboot again and again …….etc.
So I did a recovery restore (format) then it worked fine until I push the sleep button then it will reboot continually like before I tried everything .
Please your help..
Do you have Safestrap installed? Did you make a backup?

Dude you can try flashing one of those official ROMs at the ROM thread in the development section. Please flash the correct version according to your region.
Thank you all for replaying.
Last night I remembered that I have used razr bootstrap so I restored my last pack up and everything is back to normal.
I put the miui rom on my phone and i did the factory reset so now i have to reactivate my phone. The problem is it wont reactivate when i dial *228 it says problem with activation. What could be the problem please help.
Try *22899
got the same thing
Unless the Verizon activation is down again. Was a few weeks ago. Just curious as to why u did a factory reset in miui?

Update...activation works scratch that.

I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. Called Verizon and they were doing updates. Next morning I called and they said it was back up. However I still could not activate then I restored to stock and activated no problem. Then restored my cm7 without activation and then it was fine.
Do a backup now and restore back to stock. Activate and then restore your miui.
Can I sbf? If so does anyone know any good tutorials
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Did you do a nano back up of your stock rom? If so just restore that. If not do that first before making changes that way you can save yourself from a SBF.
if you do not know how to do a nano backup follow this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318083
Sadly no does that mean I am screwed

Follow this to sbf http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317707
Then after you activate root and download the tenfar recovery from stickies then make a nano backup first that way if you get in trouble you just restore back to stock.

No problem the sbf is not as bad as some might make it sound. You just have to make sure you download all the drivers and the SBF file and rsd lite. If you get stuck do be scared to ask. Also if you never did a SBC remember to get your phone to communicate with rsd lite you turn phone off and hold power and volume button up at same time and it will boot you to red mode then you are good.

+1 takes a couple min to download and install beyond that its easy easy lemon squeezy

Also if your phone bootloops after sbf do not panic it is normal sometimes coming from a custom rom. You can fix it easily by doing a restore factory reset in android recovery not bsr. If you do not know how to do it let us know and we will explain it.
So if you do bootloop after sbf rebooted your phone 100% then pull battery and put it back in. Now instead of hitting up volume and power this time use down volume and power at same time. You will see fastboot use volume down button to scroll down to android recovery. When you see android recovery then hit volume up this will bring you to android and big grey triangle then hit both volume up and down at same time. Now you will be in android recovery. Volume rocker to factory reset and hit the power button and use volume buttons to choose yes. After its done select reboot and you will load up just fine after that.
Let us know if it works for you. Or if you have any more questions. Remember cm7 is awesome unless you need HDMI. Eclipse is great as well and HDMI works. I have eclipse nano back up so if I need HDMI I can just restore.
Did all the stuff last night it all worked fine. I had the bootloop and it worked. Reactivated it with no problem. Once again thanks for all the help.

Perfect now you can try a rom if you like it then back it up. I have had up to 4 different Roms backed up so you can restore which ever you like. Glad it helped! Just make sure you stick with the same kernal like the 2.3.4. If you ever go to 2.3.5 you will have to sbf back to 2.3.4 to get the kernal right.
If you could put [solved] in your title next to your problem and this might help someone else with the same issue.
I had 2.3.5 on my device so I couldn't unlock my bootloader first...
I've rooted my phone and flashed the ROM using BootStrap recovery, but when I rebooted my device, I just see the motorola logo (without the pulsing wave. just the logo with "DUAL CORE TECHNOLOGY" written...
If i push the power button with one of the volume buttons I can get the RSD protocol mode or the FastBoot menu.
Is there anything I can do to try and recover my phone?:crying:
Please help!

you can try restoring your system because that's all that's messed up. i've had a couple people try my system restore method and it worked. one has reported a failed to boot 4... you can alternatively try the sbf restore. both are shown on my site here http://www.motosunfire.com/system/ be sure to restore your backup (which you should have one) if you get it booted from the system restore.
thanks for replying

just a minute before you replied I played with my photon and made factory data reset via the stock Android recovery, will it hurt the method you just told me to do?

it shouldn't hurt because it's only restoring the system files. you can either do that or flash the Electrify SBF, but then you need to do a bunch of other steps to restore your phone. so it's up to you. i've had a few have success with my system restore method. one failure. i don't see it bricking the device in any way. it's as safe as it gets
ok
ok, I've done what you've written in your website
it now says:
"Faild to boot 4
Starting RSD mode "

you don't need a battery even. you can flash the phone without a battery i've done it. works just fine oddly enough! just need that handy power connector!
I recently performed the steps to update my RAZR MAXX (XT-912 CDMA) to the OTA JB update. I had no issues. I obtained Root privileges and installed the most recent version of Safestrap for my phone (3.11). No problems detected. I then booted into Safestrap recovery and created a new ROM slot. Installed Jellycore V1.5 to it as well as Gapps. Booted to that slot and NOTHING. The screen just goes black after the Safestrap screen. So I booted back into Safestrap recovery and tried to restore my backup to that slot...same result. When the phone is rebooted, it goes to the Safestrap screen where you can select continue or recovery. If I continue (by selection or waiting the 10 seconds) the screen just goes black. I left it that way overnight thinking it might take a while but no. I've tried reinstalling Safestrap, different ROMS, and reinstalling ROMS. Any ideas? Because I need my AOKP.

I can get ROM slot one to successfully install and boot motoblur-98.72.8-XT912.zip.
I cannot get it to boot jellycore v1.5 or CNA v1 or any other non stock ROM. What is going on. Tried Safestrap 3.11 and 3.05.

Trying to install to ROM slot 1. I had this same setup running fine (Jellycore as my daily driver) and never had any problems installing ROMs on Safestrap until I did the Stock update to JB.

I figured it out. When I updated to JB, it updated the kernel as well. I put the new AOKP JB ROM on and no problems. Oversight on my part.

I am also having the issues mentioned in this forum. I rooted the razr maxx, then installed ss 3.11. I tried installing Jellywiz, and cm10.1 and neither worked. I did install the Vzn JB update for my phone before rooting it. Now the phone just does the boot loop and black screen thing. Any ideas?
if you boot to a blank screen and it stays there more than a minute or so after the kexec vibrate, you need to reboot to SafeStrap - switch to stock and boot it (optionally uninstall and reinstall recovery from the SafeStrap app). Then reboot and select your ROM slot and it should boot fine.

Are you wiping cache, dalvik, system, and factory reset after you create the rom slot? I had issues with a few ROMs until I wiped everything before installing a rom to a new slot. Also, you can run into this if you are trying to install a ROM into a ROM slot that had a different ROM installed on it previously. If that is the case just delete the slot and recreate it. (Oh and make sure it is not the stock rom slot that you are deleting, that would not be good) One last thing, some ROMs only work on ROM slot 1.

If you have safestrap installed then your stock ROM is already preserved. Are you trying to revert back to a previous kernel before the JB update?

I unrooted to stock successfully and then tried to upgrade to verizon .16 and from .08 and I'm guessing that because the boot logo was changed when it was rooted and I didn't change it back that it didn't complete, and now boot animation won't show and screen won't turn on. What should I do? This is urgent
