[Q] Please Help :( - Motorola Droid RAZR

I am totally stuck and need some help. I didn't have my phone for about six months and now that I have it back I just want it back to stock or some form of Jelly bean on it. Right now I am stuck on the Motorola boot screen and can only get in to recovery. I rooted with matt's utility. I tried flashing the official update files from Verizon, and I tried flashing cm10 from the forum. After I flashed cm10 it showed a message that it would only work on ROM slot 1 so I formatted ROM slot 1 and flashed it on there as well. Now it won't boot at all. Is there any ROM that I can easily flash and will get me back up and running again. I'm not good at adb so I would prefer something I can flash from SD?

Try flashing different rom on slot 1 like liquid smooth or rage rom . Let us know if it works , if not will look out for something else
Please hit the thanks :thumbup: if i ever helped ya !!

I'm not sure how to do that if I can only access the stock recovery options???

buddy u have to RSD lite u have only access to stock recovery so u can't do anything so better RSD ie flash firmware and then root and get a recovery like SS or BMM....

after flashing cronas droid yesterday i had problems going trough the boot screen so i thought ill go on to the villian rom but it had problems 2 and know im trying every rom just to get out of this position can any one help
sounds like you need to do a full wipe, data, davlik and ext...then reflash.
p.s you should have posted this in the rom thread, or Q&A!
check out CronosDroid forum.. Feeyo released a LowMemory Patch.. this should work for you..
i have done all tht
Did u try taking out your battery temporarily and then replacing it.Try flashing again.
adb logcat please?

A logcat like bonesy said would help.
Also, you say you had "problems", but did you wipe etc. before installing? What ROM did you come from before?

[Q] Trying to roll back to GB kernel. Help needed.

Hi all,
Firstly thanks to all the devs and senior members who ported CM10 mini, and also helped me with all the questions i had. I didnt necessarily have to ask these questions , coz the related threads worked like an FAQ and troubleshooting guide for me.
But now im stuck at a point where i need to ask. After trying CMX mini, though i loved it, i feel i prefer a speedy snappy phone rather than a fully loaded ergo slow phone. So i decided to roll back to GingerDX rom.
The issue im facing is that since ive flashed nAa's JB kernel, i wanna re-flash the nAa GB kernel ( or zombie panic etc). Once i flash any of the older GB kernels ( ive tried a few) the phone gets stuck at the boot screen. I just cannot go into recovery to do a wipe and flash the GingerDX rom.
So my questions are:
Is there any known work around.?
Do i need to roll back to a gb kernel to run Ginger DX or can i stay on JB kernel. Im guessing it shud be GB kernel for a GB rom, but cant find any literature online.
Do i need to do a data wipe before i switch kernels?
Pls help.
Thaks in advance.

yes, do data-wipes, or maybe format the partitions before you flash the gb kernel. GB roms won't work on the JB kernel.

Do a nandroid of your ROM, it will have you working again in about 2 minutes if it doesn't work.

pop the JB kernel back on, I figured that was the obvious thing to do in order to wipe and/or format everything...

[Q] Regarding Rom: 4.2.2 LiquidSmooth version 2.1

Hello
I have this rom in my rom slot 3, just as I been told trough the official thread.
If I do a full backup of the ROM in Safestrap after installing all my programs and settings, can I then Restore it to the Stock Rom Slot?
I have always done this with all the other custom rom's with no problem, I do not want more than one ROM on my phone, call me weird...
Wouldn`t do that if I were you... These custom roms are hard coded to only work on specific slots. In case of Liquid Smooth, it only works on slot 3 for now, but that will probably be fixed soon.
BTW, I`ve flashed CM 10.1 accidentally on my stock slot (Was on custom ICS rom) and now I can`t boot on stock slot, only on CM 10.1 (slot 1) and Liquid Smooth (slot 3).
Facing some issues, trying to solve them, but no success so far...

When this happens to me I always swallow my pride and go back to stock via RSDlite.
But I have always done like I said with all the custom roms, I have never had any problems after but the whole restore on stock rom slot.
But let's say, If I continue to use rom slot three. If I then go into Safestrap and format the stock rom slot, this will free up the space on mye phone right?
Not sure about that, but since you have usb working, you`ll always have RSD,.. My usb isn`t working, but I don't know if it's hardware or something messed up with stock slot...

What about making a backup file from the one rom you have working and restore it to stock rom slot? It will not boot on this slot at all?
I have been out in the dark maybe 100 times before, but I have never had usb not working??? Strange..
My case is that I'm on ICS on stock and on JB on rom slots...
I was wondering, did I mess my CID by installing JB over LATAM ICS, since there isn`t a LATAM JB release yet?
Anyways, sorry, completely out of topic here, so, let`s go to the point:
If you see me as a lab rat, you should know that I just tried flashing my working LiquidSmooth backup on stock slot, and didn`t work... At least for me...

Maybe you have to let the stock rom slot be, until there is a rot or rsd for Jelly Bean
Haha, lab rat!
I jus tried the same myself, but the device would not start so this does not work.
For now I have formated and wiped my stock rom slot, and I have liquid smooth in slot 3 wich will be my daily rom waiting for things to happen.

Yeah, but in my case no usb, so it`ll have to be via stock recovery...
Well, for now, since there`s no use for my stock slot, I`m gonna do the same as you...
Yeah, thinks it's the best when your stock rom is out of order!
But liquid smooth is a pretty neat rom, it makes me not wanna go back to the regular ics roms.

Btw, when I think about it I once had a usb not working with the first razr maxx I bought.
I do not remeber everything, but I fixed it trough a guide I found trough putting some files on my SD card and installing from there?
You know what tutorial I mean? Have you tried this?
No, haven`t seen it!
I was wondering, what happens if I install both TWRP and CWM recovery?

Some custom roms can be updatet sort of like your asking!
But you should make a habbit of always clean install custom roms, this way you get into troubles less often and the stability will often be better,,

[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
Lucas
Hi Lucas,
to restore your phone you have to restart from a clean installation from rsd .. Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231289 you can find the complete instrucrion to how to.
When you are on clean JB follow this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257137 to root your phone and install BMM from market.
OK now you have your phone rooted and with custom recovery and you can install every ROM do you want! Enjoy!

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:

[Q] i think my phone bricked.. help me😭

i have verizon galaxy note 2 and i flash dn3 rom but i decide to restore to stock rom cause i cant use unlock feature on dn3 rom...so i used odin to flash with stock rom...and here's problem..after odin show pass with green, my phone in looping in verizon logo..so i tried to do flash again odin show fail message and phone doesnt boot.. samsubgng logo poped up and go away like flashing..
i cant even enter to recovery mode..
i could enter to download mode but odin give me fail message...
what should i do...
Try using the .pit file also in Odin with whatever stock rom? your using hopefully it's not a 4.3 stock rom or you will be locked out from anything custom...
Once you have a custom recovery and using custom roms you shouldn't us Odin or Casuals unlock & root method ever again unless you have problems with recovery bootloops or radio etc...
I didn't understand what you meant when you said dn3 rom didn't have "unlock feature"
I've never heard of dn3 rom but I will go look.

Use this method and r515 build shared here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272066 Thanks to AdamOutler
I didn't have any luck with the newer builds working. Take your time be patient if you run into problems after trying multiple times you can always revert back with your pit and stock rom. Keep that handy for emergency.
Once you get TWRP recovery with Casual your golden.
I suggest trying Alliance Rom build 25 if you like custom everything, like myself or give OhTrent Rom if you want something very sweet and simple for your Note 2! Other people might recommend something else....
Glad we was able to help!
I've been using these forums for years and sponged my brains with info and absorbed some of it lol
Feel I should help with what I can your absolutely welcome!
