Razr (xt912) need help with hard re-set please! - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hello,
I moved from VERIZON to SPRINT about 6 weeks ago. My RAZR worked great while I was with VERIZON, I had no problems with the phone. A few days ago my MOM took my old RAZR into VERIZON to ask about activating it & she was told that the phone has been reported "LOST OR STOLEN". She came home raising HELL with me. I bought the phone brand new in the box from a friend, activated it with VERIZON for almost 6 months, & never had an issue. The phone was ROOTED w/ a CUSTOM ROM. I un-rooted the phone however it shows that BUSYBOX is still installed. I also still have a CUSTOM BOOT-ANIMATION installed. I want to know what I can do to REMOVE BUSYBOX, install the STOCK BOOT-ANIMATION, & have the phone COMPLETELY RE-SET so it looks as though it just came from the factory before I go into VERIZON & try to activate it for my Mom.
Thank you for any & all help.

Use RSDLite to flash the fastboot files of your region.
It will be as from the factory.

Thanks for the reply.
I did that & went from v4.04 to v4.1.2 which is fine with me, however, there are still some files of mine left behind on the phone's internal sd card. Is there anyway to get rid of those or am I out of luck?

You can simply delete those files through mass storage.

How exactly are you "renting" it until the Nexus? Just curious, thanks!
I presume he's gonna return the within the allowable timeframe. I'm kinda doing the same......

I think thats what we are all doing, though I am seriously considering staying with the Razr.
Great work Nitro!

If possible not only droid razr but also european razr (FR version)
Hit the Nexus forums, and you may just want to keep your Razr. I was planning on returning my Razr for the Nexus, but I'm not swayed by initial first impressions.
And keep in mind that if you pick up the Verizon model it's a thick beast!

Verizon extended it's return policy till Jan 15th(as of today). So I am basically renting the device and returning it and paying $35 to "restock" it.
their own damn fault really. It was them that pushed it back... and back.. and wait for it....
and back
Getting back to topic, anyone play with this. Is the nandroid backup option available?
Yes, and it also works like a charm. However, I have not yet tried to actually RESTORE a backup.
I saw the message
"No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage."
does anyone has seen this message while doing the backup in CWM recovery mode?
what it means?
It means you don't have any apps installed to the SD
i checked my razr file system...
i saw /sdcard and /sdcard-ext and i have some apps installed in media.
I've seen that on all of my phones. Its normal.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
SD card is internal media storage - SD card-ext is the removable one you control by pc or some old apps install to it. I keep my backups on it, eg.

Factory Reset on a Rooted Motorola RAZR XT910

Hi guys, I'm a new member of the forums and I'm quite new to smart phones and Android. I tried searching for posted topics but can't seem to find related information on what I'm trying to learn. Lemme go ahead and ask questions:
1. Is it safe to perform a factory reset on a rooted Motorola RAZR XT910? Will it boot up like normal afterwards?
2. If I perform a factory reset, will I have my Motorola RAZR XT910 unrooted?
3. Will factory reset clear data just on the "application" partition on my internal phone storage (8GB) or will it also wipe the data/files saved on the other 8GB?
Thanks.
Im trying to just figure how to do a factory reset??
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
1. Yes. 2. No. 3. Neither, it will wipe the /data partition, which contains user-installed apps and their data. You will need to wipe the internal storage or SD card manually from Settings/Storage.

I have a question for you, isn't there a way to run windows on Macs? Like an app or something? Sorry, I don't have a Mac, only a PC. But if you can run a windows program through an app for your Mac, this might help you unroot.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4158-rootunroot-droid-bionic/#post98074
I know it says for the Bionic, but I rooted my RAZR MAXX with the motofail method after the latest update, and PetesMotorolaRootTools worked to un-root it. Hope this helps you.
Or if you know someone with a PC, you might try asking them if they will download it.
thanks i'm actually in the process of putting windows on my mbpro

Insufficient space on the device?

Hey guys ,
Just in the last couple of days I haven't been able to download it update any apps. I get the error message in the subject line, without the question mark obviously.
Anyone know what would cause it? I have a ton of space. Rooted stock and I unfroze the bloat and cleared caches and no dice.

Thanks!

I received this error a few times when in GB 2.3.5 didn't get yet with 2.3.6
The only way I found to get rid of this was restoring the system (factory reset).

[Q] Cannot Restore to Stock 2.3.6

Dear All,
I am from Hong Kong, and got my asian Razr Maxx for almost 2 weeks now, I have found that I am unable to go back to stock by using motorola's stock factory reset option. Every time I first boot after I "restored" with my device, ADW Launcher EX will be its stock launcher ( i have installed it previously), and that my black multi-touch keyboard is gone. Also, my root would remain.
It just won't go back to how i unwrap it from the plastic wrappings. I tried flashing the asian stock rom though cwm, however it will say "installation aborted" when i tried installing the rom zip from sd card.
I really want to go back to stock, anyone have any idea how I should fix this?

Yep. Just make sure you have full battery before flashing. Because razr battery isn't removable you may get it trouble if you don't follow this way. Good luck

glad i found this thread, i am in deep doodie with my phone. i just got my phone yesterday and had it rooted within the first hour of posession.
its the droid razr maxx, ut updated soon as i got home with it to 6.12.181.XT912, then rooted it on that version using the method from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342567.
installed safestrap recovery
performed system backup before doing anything else
flashed eclipse
later realised that my battery wouldnt charge, so i tried to restore the backup of the stock rom........ and thats when everything went to hell!
tried to restore with safestrap in safe mode, no dice
took it out of safe mode, started getting restoration errors, tried to put it back into safemode, and it wont go back into safe mode,
now phone boots and stays stuck at moto logo dualcore technology screen
going to use rsd lite, but dont know what file to download for it because none of the ones provided in the stock rom section look even remotely close to what i need,
does anyone know where i can find and download 6.12.181.XT912.Verizon.en.US
or anything i can do to fix my phone? i cant even turn the damn thing off, when i get it to shut off, it just reboots itself all over again.

you know how to boot into fastboot mode and flashboot mode right? I think your rom is in the following link
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_spyder/list.php
Force a shut down
Power+vol up+vol down till the screen blinks. Release power button and keep holding vol keys. It'll allow u go thru fastboot mode.

[Q] Droid Razr Maxx stuck on Bootloop. Edited the Build.prop incorrectly.

Hi All,
I have a Droid Razr Maxx (Verizon) which was on 4.1.2 OTA update. I tried to edit the build.prop and messed up. The phone turns on to the Red Moto logo, later goes into the typical Droid Razr graphics and is stuck there for ever (Stuck on Booting?). I am able to enter into recovery, thankfully.
Now can anyone suggest a way to flash only the build.prop to restore it?
Else, can you point me to stock XT912M 4.1.2 so that I can flash getting into recovery?
Or is there is a better way that I could get out of this mess?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sid

you might want to try using rsd to fully restore the phone. That would also fix your issue. I have done this lots of times. Before you start make sure your phone is charged. Or you will have to buy a USB cable that allows the phone to work with the computer with out charging.
Sent from my XT912 using Tapatalk
In order to flash only build.prop you need to be able to start an adb session and then push the file, or use aroma which executes after boot menu manager so it is not a choice since you can't pass from red logo.
Easier way is rsd flashing a service rom so it will not delete so many files.
