I'll get straight to the problem, im feeling helpless here..
The problem is :
I am from India, i have Motorola Razr XT910. i had rooted my phone and then i flashed the leaked jb 4.1.2 ota update for droid razr in U.S
I flashed this into my stock referring to RAZR GUY's video tutorial.. I was able to boot to stock only through Boot Menu Manager.
Today i wanted to Flash CM 10.1 i.e. 4.2.2 on my mobile, so i saw the video and i installed SafeStrap (i also had Boot Menu Manager, which i thought wouldn't make any difference). Now what happened is, When i start my phone, the bootscreen of SafeStrap appears-> i try to boot to stock-> I end up in Boot Loop -> And now i cant get to BMM bootscreen (and hence i can't boot to Stock).
Im stuck at Bootload Screen of SafeStrap. Please guide me what shall i do ? I am a total newbee in flashing and rooting etc..
I believe ya stuck wiyh bootloops because ya installed ss3 with bmm and both slots mismatched with each other . Ya do not have to worry ya have just soft bricked ya phone . What all ya need to do is just download a fastboot for ya xt910 and flash that and profit
I believe ya knowing flashing method .
Please hit that thanks button if i helped ya

Hey Thanks for the help. I used the unbricking to remove the root access.
But still im getting the Customer ID Error on boot and im going in bootloop if i dont use BP TOOLS.
I searched online for d solution- you need to have CID.img backup file of your phone WHICH i had backed up.
i found it. Now i just want to know how to restore it on my RAZR XT 910
I tried Various Methods to restore it, but all unsuccessfull
Awaiting your reply .. THanks
Ya need to root ya xt910 again if ya have lost root access then follow the steps i mentioned down
Once ya restore ya cid just reboot ya mobile and normal switch it on . This would work for sure and let me know
Thx

1.Then enter into recovery and wipe your data and cache.
2.Power off your phone Reboot using bp tools
3. Root your device (ya need to root ya phone if ya have lost ya root access)
Remember while rooting when the tool reboots your device press the vol- and vol at the same time when the phone switches off to enter in boot menu mode and reboot using bp tools mode, other wise u will see a black screen everytime you reboot.
4. Once done restore your cid using terminal emulator.
code: dd if=/sdcard/cid.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p18

I'am running on 4.0.4 Chinese leak and I wanna go back to 2.3 Stock, and I just simply can't. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Nothing is working.
1. Dual Wipe
2. Flash 2.3.6 EU
3. Dual Wipe
4. Going to BP Tools - Here phone stuck on Motorola Logo with Costumer Error.
5. I've tried flash only Radio to force flashing GB radio version. Radio flashed on phone screen but after that phone still stucks on Motorola logo with error ( BP tools ofc)
I'm using Fla**** but I noticed that in bat file there's not cdt.bin flash command when I adding it I'm getting error "preflashing validation failur" Maybe this is a problem? What can couse it?
after return to the GB is very heavy, some write that almost impossible

first of all you flash ics china again
root it
then restore mmcblk1p18 by terminal or connectbot ( the codes are available )
then flash your GB rom.
it would work.
I did it once.
This is some idea are you sure it works?
I didn't do it becouse everyone said to flash GB first and after booting up GB root and restore that file. I just don't wanna stuck with nothing but if I switch this files again on chinese leak. That error message should disappear and I can flash GB, but if it disappear and my phone still stuck on "M" Im end up with "M"- brick phone... ehh

This is the correct way. If you have any trouble flashing you'll be able to flash chinese ics and try downgrade as many times as needed.

Flash the 2.3.6 T-Mobile, if there are flash failes, delete the showed lines in the xml until the flash is finished. Then install the german ICS leak with moto recovery, then you should get a full working system without root, but better than brick. And be patient a few days to the release of the official ICS, we should get fastboot files, and maybe we will get a new root method tomorrow...

Yes it worked for me, but I don't reffer to do it becouse it could be only luck. I flashed tmobile GB with Fla**** I rewrote all command. I personally think that deleting storage data command helped to boot up GB becouse when I flashed other roms without it phone never flash radio right after flashing.

these are the steps I've had followed
1. flash gb from your region
2. root with motofail if the 2.3.6 or zergbrush if 2.3.5
3. restore the p18 file
Code:
adb shell
su
cat /sdcard-ext/mmcblk1p18-go > /dev/block/mmcblk1p18
4. flash gb again
hint1:
1. you'll have to boot under bp tools 'till step 4.
2. rooting is hard becouse you've to reboot it several times and must enter via bp tools. I just forced starting bp tools by holding both vol buttons during the process.
Cheers
I restored my mmcblk1p18 before downgrade but would only advise this if you have sufficient battery or factory cable.

Hi to all Razr users here! I know some of you have seen me that posts alot of questions and asking for a help on different forums and threads here in Motorola Razr world and now it's my time to give a contribution on how to fix a Moto Razr from being fully bricked with an error of 'CID error' or '0X0056' error. (YAY! JUST FIXED MINE A WHILE AGO!)
Scenario:
-My device is in stock 2.3.5 Gingerbread firmware.
-I've tried to flash a JB 4.1.2 firmware on my device via RSD lite v6.x
-My device got stuck and won't boot and got the '0X0056' error causing to not get past the Motorola logo.
Instructions on how to fix:
-In my own experience, you don't need to have a backup of your CID because it is not needed on the flashing stages.
-Make sure your device is still alive and has still juice to power the battery on.
-Download a firmware of your choice http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=10 (I've downloaded the fifth one *Fido Canada*)
-Extract the .xml file inside the firmware, open with notepad++ and delete the line where 'CDT.bin' exists then put it back to the firmware .zip
-Extract also the 'allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin' file.
-Make a .bat file using notepad and write this fastboot commands:
Code:
echo off
pause
fastboot erase cid.img
fastboot flash mbm allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot-bootloader
pause
echo on
(Make sure you have the latest fastboot files from Android SDK tools and have 'allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin' file within it, these stuff must be in the same folder)
-Connect your device and boot in AP fastboot then ran the command.
Note: I've ran this without any 'ERROR' code which prevents the files from wrtiting.
-Just stay connected with the device.
-Use the RSD lite and use the firmware you downloaded.
-Now click start.
-When you saw the device being shown with 'CID error' DO NOT DISCONNECT THE DEVICE, JUST LET IT GO ERRORING ITSELF.
-Wait for at least 30 seconds, after that the device will shutdown then it will boot again and you will see an Android is somewhat upgrading stuff. (YAY! this is the progress I've ****ted all the way off!)
-Press power button, volume down and up simultaneously and boot with BP tools.
-Wait and you'll see your device is reviving and booting again!
Note: To prevent the annoying 'CID error', someone said we must install BMM or SS recovery in order to get past and avoid that error whenever we reboot our device.
That's all! Happy fixing! Hope it helped you!

Remove that bootlogo & boot your device without BP tools you can do this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2406867 .It removes CID err on bootlogo & you can boot normally.

A little addition to this guide based on personal experience:
I did this in several firmwares trying to unbrick my device but after CDT.bin deletion, RSD Lite won't start the flashing process followed by the message sayng that "some files are missing from original package" and "please add/replace them" or "try another package" etc etc
In that case, the ONLY thing that can help you unbrick your device is CID deletion via fastboot, letting you flash any firmware you want (the question is, however, which of them will actually boot after completing the flashing process without errors.
I tried several firmwares, actually all GSM versions and the only one that booted was Taiwanese stock retail ICS. After that, I upgraded stock FW to JB 4.1.2, again trying several FWs and this time the only one that booted was stock retail JB 4.1.2 for United Kingdom (?!). But, this doesn't matter much as long as you can unbrick your device, boot the stock, root it and install custom recovery and after that the choice is yours. My device was bricked the worst possible way (erased boot, system, data, recovery partitions and tables, all gone except fastboot, with a dying and unchargeable battery. So, I made the "factory cable" myself and started from scratch. After a fair amount of trouble, I did it, what you can see from my signature.
Anyway, deleting CID is no big thing, and trust me, you won't be missing it at all. If that's the price for making your device work again just go ahead, I think it's worth it.
Make backup of CID...
Does anyone tried that method, to make backup your CID?
If your XT910S/K soft bricked why not to try by flashing XT910 2.3.6 system.img? It should boot to Retail XT910 2.3.6 with XT910S/K kernel.
If you get boot you can try rooting it & backup CID with Terminal Emulator. When erase it...
Still... with ics(jb) you'll need be with erased CID, but having backup never hurts... I just wanna to help people save unique CID.

Will add a note on that, whatever happens a backup of CID is really needed if ever something happens badly And yup, I made a backup

I agree that you should have CID backup, but I really had no choice but to delete it, there was no other way to unbrick it. And if you were on ICS, you cannot downgrade to Gingerbread, you can only flash ICS or JB.

If you on ICS you should also boot with Retail XT910 ICS system.img because your kernel will be still ICS XT910s..

As for me, I don't think that CID would be worth saving, since this device was bought in South Korea, then shipped to Australia and from there shipped to me here in Serbia So, since I couldn't rely much on customer support or service, I decided to delete CID in order to unbrick the Razr. Of course, if there's a chance to save your CID you should certainly do it but for me, CID doesn't mean much in these circumstances.

Yep unfortunately that's the problem right now. It can only boot with 'bp tools' option. The only thing you can normally boot it is to install a BMM or SS recovery so that it can bypass through booting the CID error without encountering the black screen. As of now, I don't have the required stuff to fix it and don't have the knowledge to find what's behind that problem. The device (Motorola Razr) is not mine, I just fixed it for my friend. I think we can only live with the recovery installed because without it, it's impossible to boot the device normally without CID.
Take note, booting with BP tools is like booting in safe mode, it does not save any progress you made after you customize some stuff on the main screen itself.
I clear your doubt.. It does save i tried with several power offs and restarts

It always get stuck at d boot animation. I made sure all the boot options are ticked. I hav done factory resting but I'm Still having same issue.
