Upgrade from 4,1,2 to 4,2,2? - Motorola Droid RAZR

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 .

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!!
Please hit the thanks button if i helped ya in anyways !!!

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.

I can strongly recommend Wolfbreaks CM V4.3. That is a fantastic ROM and hasn't caused me any issues.
I find it much better than FreeX10 Beta4
I have stock 2.1 + jit - junk apps, and Very nice, i waiting for a 2.3+ camera

Try letting the boot screen loop run for a few minutes. I recently reinstalled wolf's CM2.2 again and it looped a good 6 or so times before actually loading up.
Also make sure that you are on the latest firmware, Wolf's rom requires it
EDIT:: lol I don't know why my post was so late.. guess all the questions were answered.
i got no idea what base band im on, downloading a 2.1 ROM for the new flash tool

Go into settings, about phone, and tell me what the baseband version is. Once you tell me that, Ill make a .zip file with all the appropiate files to flash with xrecovery.

Ok, im on .54 as well and the ROM works awesome. no need to change your baseband to flash that ROM. Just download the proper files.

Ready to try ineff..

Ok - so I've got everything all set to try my first rom.. Think I'll go w/ Ineffabilis as I don't mind sense and theirs seems to be nice and un-crapified as well as includes a working WFT. My question is about kernels- in reading other threads it seems there is a lot of oddities going on with not only the kernel flashing process, but the kernels themselves.. If I'm going to give Ineffabilis a go - as of today anyways- should I stick w/ his rooted stock? Ziggy? Thoughts?
if u can see my signature..i set up mine jus the way i wanted it..and not a single random REBOOT or and BOOT LOOP wat so ever..everything is perfect but only one con which is my battery barely makes it through the day n where i live theres no 4g at all..but everything else is very stable
Cool- just finished up putting in on w/ stock and so far so good but maybe I'll try dsb.. Still a little unsure about the kernel update process so I've got some more homework to do.

Im thinking of trying this ROM as well, but I have a question. Does the kernal HAVE TO be flashed after the ROM or is their a kernel included IN the ROM? Just not sure if the kernel is posted for those who want to revert to stock kernels...
Thanks
Oldsteel....... the rom comes included with a stock rooted kernel and they also have the kernel posted as well.

how to setup RAZR recovery menu?

Just got a RAZR and I love it, I've already rooted it but I'm having trouble understanding safe strap and boots trap and can I install clockworkmod recovery as much info on installing and what they are would help a lot?
I had a htc desire hd before this which everything was so much easier

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!

[Q] Encryption unsuccessful JB 4.1.2

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

Hi Lucas,
to restore your phone you have to restart from a clean installation from rsd .. Here

When you are on clean JB follow this

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:

its as simple as that when it comes to flashing
the only thing you should note of is non stock based roms, they require a bootloader unlock and if your coming from stock you need to wipe your data,
you dont need to wipe data if your going across roms with same base, aka CM11 to Cm11 , stock to stock , based to based
Best rom threads are not allowed on XDA
Please try them out yourself to see which is best for you.
