Heys everyone,
I was doing some research on the updates that the Motorola Razr XT910 and the Maxx XT912 had and well noticed that most roms, like the CM10.1 is having some issues with the camara or gallery, etc. So I decided to look for an official update and found out this version: 98.72.16.XT912.Verizon.en.US, but I have a question.
I am currently on Mexico and well my carrier never gives updates (ITS REALLY BUGGING ME) so, here's my question.
Since I've the ICS version 672.180.310.XT910.AmericaMovil.en.Mx if I upgrade my phone to this version, will I still have my carrier configuration enabled, or will it not work? If it's ok to do this, I heard that I have to update first to 4.1.1 and then to 4.1.2.
Thanks for your time!

I need some answer for those who know or those who already tried. Last week i flashed verizon JB leak on my Razr Maxx GSM (Originally AsiaRetail) Im from Malaysia btw bought the phone here. Then I followed the guides step by step until the gsm patching n it work flawless.The phone is smooth,all function is working as expected. Despite some popup dialog to choose global mode or not,which is because of the leak is originally for cdma i guess,but thats not a big deal. But then I realized the network signal(HSDPA/3G) is so weak n it didnt improve. I mean,in the place where i usually get full bars for HSDPA,I only get 2 or 3 bars max. Will this change if i flashed the china leak coz well i guess its originally for GSM? I changed back to D-Wiz ROM since Im kinda not feel secured with the low signal,afraid of missing calls,sms etc. But D-Wiz is going to launch the next update based on JB leak,so we need JB kernel as base. Im afraid what if I use the verizon leak n flash D-wiz on top of it,the problem will persists.
Ok since i got no answer,i hv new question,let say i just leave the low signal problem,didnt it affect the phone's battery life? I mean,low signal=bad battery consumption isnt it?

The phone stats:
Razr Maxx 98.72 16 XT912.Verizon.en.us
4.1.2 version
CDMA_N05.2100r LTEDC_09.1d.00
build Number 9.8.20-72_vzw-16
I have did the search with allot of reading and am now more confused of what I have in my hand.
Last last rooting I did was with the Dinc. I was satisfied with the phone until the JB update and now it sucks.
Issues with the JB now.
Radio is crappy now with 4G now having the connectivity it had. And downrite no connection in places I used to have.
Phone continually loses the sound settings for ringtones and notifications. Silent is not what I selected. It resets the sound selection randomly.
Do I currently have a rooting option on this phone?

I am probably one of the last one's to reply to you as I am basically new to rooting, and having only flashed one rom so far on my Razr Maxx. Having said that, and given that you haven't received a reply yet, let's see what I can offer.
Based upon what I know it looks as if your phone received the official OTA update because of the "16" just before the XT912. You can definitely root your phone on JB. I used the Razer Blade method which can probably be found on this board or elsewhere. Once you accomplish your root and have all of the necessary "tools" at your disposal, such as Titanium Backup (although I hear that Carbon is pretty good too, your choice), Safe Strap, etc., etc. then you are ready to go. I have noticed that the performance of my device is somewhat different with a new rom. I am using the Aviator rom.
Pay close attention to which roms you consider. There is a difference between CDMA and GSM as well as the 16 an 8 (8 being the Xmas update to JB). In fact also make sure that you are only using JB based roms and not ICS. Clearly there are others that can help you with this more than me, but I am only going by my very recent experience, even up through my first flash today! Therefore, do all the reading that you can and I hope that this was helpful. Good luck with it!
THX for the reply. I have spent a few more hours doing research across the web and have settled on the suggestions you had made. I am updating the Dinc(CM7) now incase I brick the Razr. My quandary was determining the style(Ver) of phone I had and rooting it correctly. Now to un-learn the rooting I did on the Dinc and use the newest flashing techniques.
My everyday phone is a Verizon Galaxy S3 that is suffering from 4G problems since an OTA update in March. I have tried everything to restore its former glory including flashing back to ICS and installing every update and firmware from beginning to end. I can get 4G coverage but no longer get it at home or work where it really matters.
So I got my hands on a used Razr Maxx to use as a comparison as it is known for good reception. Much to my surprise the Razr acts pretty much identical to my S3 as far as 4G goes.
After some reading I have seen some other Razr users complain about signal degradation since Jelly Bean... so I want to flash back to an older software to test again, I am currently on whatever the latest OTA software is.
I am a complete Razr nOOb so any advice and input is appreciated.I would prefer a stock Rom. I also need rooting directions and such.. I didn't notice any pre-rooted stock roms.
Thanks

Razr has a locked bootloader and you cannot downgrade once you update it. So if you're on JB, you cannot go back to ICS.

You could try a custom rom,after a upgraded to JB my signal started to suck so I installed a kexec based rom 4.2.2 and it got better somewhat..
the universe is hostile so impersonal, devoure to survive..so it is,so it's always been.
HI guys (and girl) :laugh:
i'm actually not so noob(ish). but this phone gets me stuck and i have no idea where to start.
i had a galaxy s, a defy, a milestone and some Iphones, and this XT912 (which is great). i've managed to change ROMS with ease, figured the stuff out and so on.
but the XT912 got me stuck. this is the question:
can i have a stock EU rom on it? cause now i have the verizon US JB 98.72.16.EN.US
i've seen the posts, i read the threads but i don't quite get it.
i need some help.. please
I'm form Europe and i was wondering if maybe with some stock EU ROM this phone could perform better. and i also have some problems not being able to receive calls although i never had a problem making a call. (sometimes says i'm out of coverage)
thanks folks!
If you look in the development thread Dtrail has a KEXEC kernel that will allow the flashing of other regions stock ROMS.

Good day,
Looking for original firmware for rogers for xt910. Checked the thread with all the firmwares, but the link is no longer active. I also can't find the 910 firmware on their page at all, all of it for verizon and primarily for later versions of RAZR.
So, I guess nobody has a copy? Or am I missing something here?
I know xt910 is an old model but my gf has it and doesn't feel like getting a new phone yet. However, the battery life getting pretty bad, so I though of rooting it and using custom rom like cm to possibly lower the consumption
