Hello Razr people,
I have Chinese Razr maxx with Blur_Version.67.213.6.XT910.ChinaRetail.en.CN.zip OTA installed.
CDT might have been 5. But still I managed to root with a chinese root method.
Everything was fine until I went outside China.
None of the sim cards I tried were working. And in China, apart from China Telecom, everything else was working.
So I thought, maybe I should try the GSM patch with the magic code patch given in XDA in some other thread.
Hence I went into BMM recovery, installed the patch. rebooted the phone.
And it didn't start at all for like 30 minutes. It was stuck with M logo and blinking every now and then.
Hence, I decided to factory reset from stock recovery. Still it's the same.
And now I think I cannot flash it back to JB, as it was an OTA, and there's no firmware for flashing.
as CDT might have gone higher, I can't even go back to ICS.
I am new to all this, but I have spent a lot of time in reading all this info and now I'm stuck wondering what can i do if JB with higher CDT got bricked?
Please Please guys, I really need help with this,
Thank you very very much in advance. I really really appreciate it.

Thanks. However, I was wondering can I still flash the ICS fastboot after having the JB OTA installed that too with higher CDT?
I still have BMM coming when I boot the phone.
So I am afraid of fastbooting the ICS file and loosing even BMM.
Please let me know what do you think is the best option?
A
1. Flash ICS flastboot of Chinaretail.
2. Upgrade via the zip file of the 4.0.4 OTA
3. Update via zip to ChinaRetail JB 4.1.2
or
B
1. Install a custom rom like AOKP on 2nd rom/system slot (Will it work though?)
Thank you very much.

In ya case i believe both method are wrong and wont work on ya razr .
For first method :
Just flash the appropriate china fastboot via rsd and then apply jellybean ota.zip from stock recovery .
Ya don't have to flash ics ota.zip ,just fastboot would work to update ya phone to jellybean
Second method :
Ya can't install akop or cm10 unless ya not on jellybean .
So first update ya phone to jellybean and then root (if root exploit is available for Chinese jellybean ) ,
Install ss or bmm ,
Partition and install custom roms on 2nd or 3rd slot

Hey man,
Thanks a ton. I got AOKP 4.2.2. JB installed in slot 2 and it's working flawlessly.
However, I cannot access the network provider. So there is no mobile network.
My phone is unlocked.
Another strange thing is that, in the settings menu, the IMEI number is 000000000 ...
Now that is not possible as far as I know.
Any idea as to what I can do to get the network and make phone calls?
Thanks again for all your help.

I think ya should flash ya region basband . Try to look on forum for Chinese basband
Hit the thx button if i helped ya in anyways
Hey man, I tried to install the baseband from the previous OTA that was on my phone ... and another Baseband from Chinese JB Fastboot.
However, still no network or no imei.
I am currently in India, so does it mean I will have to find an indian baseband?
Also, AOKP is installed via BMM in rom slot system 2.
Can that be a problem?
I was wondering if I tried to flash with a Chinese JB fastboot via RSDLite, will it flash through properly?
Cause then at least I can send my phone to motorola and ask them about the network issue.
Thanks so much though. Seriously. You are a saviour.

No ya don't have to flash Asian retail jellybean ota beacause ya are on Chinese kernel ,ya may stuck on fastboot if ya flash Asian retail on ya razr unless ya don't erase ya cid .
I just can't understand why ya getting network issue even after flashing all the baseband. Damn !!
Try to flash Indian baseband it may help ya .
Nah flashing any custom rom on another slot doesn't affect stock slot at all akop or cm10 is not the issue .
Edit : flashing different region kernel and bricking ya phone and send it to service centre wont help ya at all beacsue they ll come to know that ya tried to flash it illegally so ya warranty no more void . As ya saying ya in India and using Chinese xt910 ,service centre ll not accept it so ya need to go back to China and give it there for fix

Hey guys I have a Razr V and I know there is basically no support for it on here but having a look around I managed to install Boot Menu Manager (BMM) recovery on it and it seams to be working fine.
Foolishly I tried to flash a CM10.1 ROM on it that is hardcoded to only work on Safestrap ROM slot 1. I can still access the recovery though and I was wondering if someone can point me to a ROM they may work with this phone (its stuck on ICS kernel and I'm not sure if there is a JB kernel I could flash)
This is good progress for us guys with this phone, I think its available in Canada, China and Australia. Anyway I'm trying to get a custo ROM on here and was wondering if some of you guys might be able to help me out.
Would I be able to flash a JB kernel for the XT910? The phones are very similar, but I don't want to try it if it will certainly brick my phone.
EDIT: at the moment my phone is boot looping on the CM10 screen so it is good news we may be close to getting a custom ROM on here, or maybe I'm just an idiot and have ruined my phone
Cheers
SUCCESS!!! I managed to boot into D-WIZ 3.01 ROM but I have no software buttons anyone Know a patch for this?

What were the problems with the rom you installed. Also to port roms you need a base like cm10 otherwise its pointless. Every custom rom not based on stock is cyanogen based. All roms like miui, pac, etc are all based on cyanogen. So if we can get a cyanogen mod built rom to boot on our phone we can then start modifying it get all the broken things to work once we have done that we can then create a devtree then compile our roms from source. Its a bit backwards but way quicker than starting from nothing.
The soft buttons was an easy fix but the other problems where the SD card wouldn't mount properly. (File manager and storage recognised it but the phone said it was damaged) and the camera force closed.

Hey, I too have a RAZR V, and I live in Canada. For MONTHS I've been waiting for JB, anything higher than 4.0.4, but Motorola is taking their sweet ass time with it.
I'm not very tech savvy, so I was wondering if you could post a tutorial, or a walkthrough of how you flashed CM10 onto your phone?
I can provide any information you might need, please let me know
I managed to get it to boot once but other attempts have been unsuccesfull. I sent RAZR V device info to whirleyes the developer of BMM and hopefully he can improve compatibility.
At the moment the only thing working properly is flashing zips. I've soft bricked my phone several times this week and I'm about to go on vacation for a month so i might try out again when I get back.
In guess the good thing about a locked boot loader is that it is almost impossible to fully brick
At the moment its trial and error sorry, I'm not sure how I got it to boot the first time and also camera and SD card didn't work.

4.1.2 update rolling..
Guys ,the JElly BEan update for the XT885 in China is rolling out. I have downloaded the update but scared maybe it might brick my phone when i flash it. I want to know how different the Chinesse version is from the Canadian version. Can i just flash the update and change the language settings later on. And also clearly the update file is named in English having the abbreviation "en" in the name of the file. Do you guys feel its safe to flash
I'm not sure but I do know once you go to jb you cant go back. Where did you download it from? Have you got a link?

Hi everyone,
I was wondering it it's possible to install the Motorola RAZR/RAZR MAXX (GSM) CyanogenMod 10.1 on my Motorola RAZR V X885?
I checked that both devices have the same specs.
The version that I want to try to install is the RC5. I would post the link, but, "ALL new users prevented from posting outside links in their messages". hahaha
Do u think I will get some trouble with this?
Thanks!

I was thinking exactly about doing the same thing, but I'm concern about using a ICS kernel with a JB rom. We should first try to flash a JB kernel. But I'm a bit loss with SafeStrap. Has anyone been able to boot something else in Slot 2+ ? I've tried to copy my existing system over these slot and it doesn't work. But I guess it has something to do with the kExec thing.
You can't do so. Your bootloader only allows you to install the system with the same signature. It won't pass the signature check to boot unless you backup and wipe mmcblk1p16(cid)

There's a post in "droidevelopers" that show how to update XT885. Try to look for "14904-how-install-jellybean-4-1-2-your-droid-razr-v-xt885" in the website.

So I've always had HTC's and recently had a One X, but decided to sell it due to no micro-sd slot. I had a backup phone, Samsung Infuse 4G (which I'm using now as a daily) and read up and learned about it and about rooting it, since it was another world from what I was originally used to. Now, coming to the Razr forums, I find myself even more lost than I was on the Infuse forum coming from HTC! I currently own the latin american (latam) Claro Razr Maxx running ICS out of the box, and what I pretty much want to know is about rooting it, sim-unlocking it and (if possible) flashing a jb ota (ICS doesnt really cut it...).
So, from what I managed to read and understand, I first need and have to use the "EPRJ_EasyRootICS_MultiOS_v1.5" to root it (pretty easy according to the video).
As fas as sim-unlocking, I believe the only method is through eBay, paying for the unlock code and sending in my IMEI? (Always been against sending my IMEI, but well.... I have AT&T, so....)
Finally, ROM's... I read that I can ONLY flash latam (latin american) based ROM's, and I didn't manage to fing a jb ota for the latam version (unless I didn't look hard enough??).
So, what I really want to know is if I'm on the right path or if there's something else I should know about to achieve what I need.
Thanks in advanced!!

ok firstly you can update to jb using RSD lite and the fastboot files. for the firmware you currently have. i'll get you the link in just a moment. secondly sim unlocking is not like it is in samsung but you can just pay to get it unlocked.
root for jb is only available on linux there is a thread in development section on it will get you that as well in a moment, you can flash any roms as long as you dont flash cdma by accident. this can be confirmed by other members if possible but im very very sure 99% sure that you can flash gsm roms doesnt matter what region and we dont have a gsm patch yet for cdma roms yet so when we do you can flash cdma roms with gsm patch as well. ok. now let me get you the links
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231289
this link above is for firmware you will need to download and use rsd lite version 6.0 to flash to get to jb and remember there is no way back to ics once you do that.
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2246747
this one is for rooting once you have jb. for now its only linux you can sideload ubuntu then delete or wait till they release a windows type method.
good luck

Thanks bro, and I will do it too! I was counting on doing it the moment I replied but looks like im gonna have to wait till friday to flash jb and attempt to root it with that method.. Still, thanks for ur help too!
So finally I have free time!! I rooted my XT910 with easyrootics, so now I'm rooted. Now, I have a doubt about RSD Lite... How exactly do I use it? I mean, I connected the phone via USB but it really didn't do anythin to let me know it detected my Maxx... Also, I clicked the button to browse for the firmware .xml.zip file and chose do decompress it (only option available to click) and it seemed to do so fine, but I really don't know what to do from there... There's a button that says "Start" at the top, next to the browse button, but I wasn't sure if that's the next step. What do I do next?
Just install the motorola drivers for ya PC and install it and then connect ya phone to the PC it will automatically install all the appropriate drivers of RAZR maxx now once ya done with installing all the drivers . Switch off ya phone ,press both vol- and vol+ at a time and power botton , it ll take ya to the bootloader jist press vol- down and select fasboot (on 3rd no. ) and press vol+ to selct that .
Now open rsd lite and ya can find ya phone model in it connecting into fastboot mode now decompress the .xml fasboot file and hit the flash rsd lite ll start flashing . Ya cell phone ll restart 2or3 times during flashing
Once ya see done in rsd lute just disconnect ya phone from usb now go into the stock recovery and do full wipe data and caches.
Profit

aaah i see now.. so basically if i wanna flash that rom i gotta do the same thing u said but with the latam firmware stated on the op? cause the one i was gonna flash originally via rsd lite is also latam, but from canada and 4.1.2... i understand it just has to be latam, so im guessing using the one in the rom thread's op instead of the canada one would do the same thing except keep me on ICS as stated on the op so that i can then flash the 4.1.2 rom?
also, just an fyi, my device's build number is 6.7.2-180_SLC-34 and the firmware on the op's build number is 6.7.2-180_SLC-35
also, my firmware configuration is GAS_LA_SPYDERICSCLALALA_P034 and the firmware on the op's is SPYDERICSRETBRLA, both of em LATAM so im guessin i should be ok flashin that firmware on rsd lite?? so many questions... lol im sorry, just tryin to be 100% sure, i rlly dont wanna mess up this phone.. i love it!
EDIT: as of now, im rooted on ics 4.0.4 and have bmm installed... i just booted into the custom recovery and did a full backup... u never know when its gonna come in handy lol
I've been runingg CM10.1 and )tried) to flash another Rom.
Since then I have not been able to flash anything - I have run out of being able to access my BBm and I am unable to flash anything on my external (Installation Aborted) and nothing will boot.
Some help would be appreciated. (sorry if it's a bit garbled=Sunday night and all that)
Its not big issue if ya found ya bmm or ss3 not working . Just ya need to tell me a bit about your phone so that i can help ya .
What is ya phone system version ( if ya don't know may i know from which country ya bought ya phone )
Hit the thx button if i helped ya in anyways

I was on cm10.1 (30/4 nightly) and was trying to flash Avatar Rom 2.9b-747-20130504-umts_spyder when I messed up my phone.
I can access stock recovery but that's it.

so I managed to flash Jelly Bean OTA 982.124.14.XT910.Retail.en.EU but now I have no root so I am just wondering if anyone knows of an idiot proof method to root my phone again. Thanks.

Not idiot proof, but as far as I know, the only way.

My device is a HK version of XT910 and has flashed the device for the euro 4.1 rom.
Unfortunately it cannot search any 2g/3g signal and thus i wanna flash back the HK4.0 rom to repair the phone.
I heard it is not possible to do so as the bootloader has been upgraded which cannot be downgraded afterwards.
I know XDAs are one of the best developers for smartphone, so wanna find some support here.
Deep thanks if guidance can be provided for my case.
Unfortunately ya can not degrade to the ICS or GB . Whatever ya heard is correct .
Now if ya having network problem what all ya can do is root ya phone and flash custom roms . I hope some custom roms may help ya finding the network
Please hit the thanks :thumbup: if i ever helped ya !!
what if he flash HK 4.1 ROM ? anyway he can`t go back so he have to try , wait, he should make full wipe in stock recovery if that's don`t help then flash HK 4.1

HK 4.1 will never be available as Motorola abandons that market.

yup,:crying:
and without flashing back the HK roms, i can jus go to the street to find some not professionals to help me fix the network problem(coz i dont reli know whether the network problem is caused by flashing an euro rom or is the cell phone's sim card slot problem)
another question- how to uninstall safestrap? i have 2 rom-slot of CM10.1 but deleted the stock rom(official euro 4.1.2).
If i want to flash back the official rom using rsd lite, do i need to delete the partitions first? But as i dont have stock rom now, will there be any problems for me to just flash the rom using the lite?
I am unable to quote the comments and give reply for a particular problem but ya need to root ya RAZR because unless ya don't have super user access ya cant flash any custom Roms. Follow the instruction properly and get root privilege anyhow to flash custom roms . I know its kinda tough to work on linux and root razr but unfortunately there is no one click root method is available sir ..
Ya can get so many custom roms available in development thread but i would like to recommend ya to flash jelly wiz or d wiz first because cm10 still having network issues .
Please hit the thanks :thumbup: if i ever helped ya !!

I believe it is because ya flashed different region jellybean which having different baseband then HK. So only flashing a custom rom can only fix ya problem amd for that ya really need root

Oooops !! I'm sorry if ya already have rooted ya phone then why ya trying to root again lolz .
Come to the point , do not try to uninstall safestrap and delete the slot because ya do not have stock rom on ya phone so if ya delete ya slot 1 then phone ll normally boot to stock and stuck to the bootloops . If it happens then there is only way to fix is flashing fastboot again via rsd lite .
Note : ya ll loose ya root if ya flash it via rsd again and as i have already said rooting from Linux is really tough .

Hello all,
I need your help to unbrick my Droid Razr xt910, Initially I flashed my phone with "SPDREM_U_01.6.7.2-180_SPU-19-TA-11.6_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRICSRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml" which is EU ICS and applied the JB OTA "Blur_Version.672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU" and everything was good atleast for an year, Since my bootloader is locked, I installed Safestrap 3.x and created additional ROM slot to try Cyanogenmod 11 and it worked perfectly as well. The problem started when i wanted to try CM 12, since it required Safestrap 3.75, i wanted to upgrade it, but my bad, unfortunately I installed it on the ROM slot and my phone crashed and cannot boot the phone normally or into Recovery mode, everything is screwed and i have been struggling for days to unbrick my phone, but no luck so far, Could some one please point me the right approach to unbrick my phone?
When i tried to flash the boot image from the Stock ICS package i have, i get the below error.
D:\temp\Android\Europe ICS\extract> eprj-mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
sending 'boot' (8192 KB)... OKAY [ 1.020s]
writing 'boot'... INFOPreflash validation failure
FAILED (remote: )
Please help me on this.
Common Guys, Please help me..
You can't flash ICS anymore because you upgraded to JB.
Download JB Sbf file for your region and flash it with RSD Lite.
Here is everything that you need

Thanks a lot for your reply, appreciate it.
Would you please tell me the exact name of the sbf file i need to use in this situation? My phone was the PSH Asia Retail version running ICS earlier and I followed an xda thread to install the European version of ICS and applied JB OTA , I already messed up enough and dont want to do any further mistake. Also, while i was searching, the name name doesn't exactly mean anything to me. Please help!!
Thanks
