They guys
I've been running BMM for a few months now with no problems.
I saw that Hashcode updated his SS recovery so I decided to move over there since it's updated and I prefer TWRP anyway.
I uninstalled BMM and installed SS, but I think the SS apk didn't install properly, without me noticing.
When i reboot the phone, I get the red M logo but then black screen.
*sigh* so I downloaded the firmware and I flashed sbf on RSD lite.
Still black screen.
not sure what to do now, Fastboot and stock recovery working fine, it's just system not booting.

I cant get it to boot in recovery(CWM) It comes up a big list of RSD BP Tools all that in a single page in white text when i try to enter recovery or any mode. And i cant get the RSD Lite drivers to install!! I already have used RSD lite 2 days ago with my phone. I managed to get phone into RSD mode once but it still wouldnt show up under the actual RSD Lite program, and it came up saying it failed to install drivers. It fails to install the driver "NS Flash Sunfire" and ive looked around and cant seem to find it anywhere.. I can get the phone into RSD mode fine, but it wont boot to CWM recovery, apparently something went AWOL. Tell me how i can get my photon back please?!
try removing all your motorola drivers and reinstalling them from yay 4 juggs link. you should be able to flash the sbf from his thread (in rsd mode) and be back in business.
Didnt even think of that.. i already had the 5.21 drivers installed, but sure enough did what you said and im flashing back to stock sbf right now. THANK YOU!
OK, so i just flashed 1FF-sunfire-user-2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6-CM-release-keys-signed-Sprint-US and now im stuck in a bootloop of the dual core screen.. Any ideas..? I know its not latest SBF, but the link for latest was dead.. So i just used this one i had on my desktop already. Anything im missing here?
EDIT: Oh yeah, the flash went through fine and said completed, and when i boot into recovery its back to stock recovery of android triangle and my bootloader menu system is how it should be again. Im just stuck in a boot loop.. Can i go ahead and like unlock bootloader and install CWM and get back on CM7 or will i most likely still be in a bootloop even after that..? Any insight would be great

you may need to factory wipe to get it to boot up... are you stuck on the dual core or the sprint now screen? it may be a bad flash as well - did it reboot by itself and such?
Im at the Dual core screen, i reflashed same sbf and its still doing same thing. ONE time it boot through the sprint now boot logo stuff, then just fell back into same old loop of just the dual core boot animation/screen. How can i factory reset it..? It rebooted right after it installed(never successfully into OS though) then RSDLite told me to manually power up phone, so i battery pulled and powered up to just have it go into moto dual core boot screen loop
Ok sweet i just unlocked bootloader and installed CWM and was able to restore to my CM7 backup fine! Im not activated atm, going to have to call sprint i guess.. But everything else looks to be working!!
Hi, I've been having problems with CWM.
I was trying to install a custom rom, but I can't get the custom recovery to work...
I've tried RAZR Bootstrap Recovery, bootmenu manager, and Rom Manager.
With Bootstrap Recovery the screen goes Black and stays black forever.
With the other two, the phone just restarts without going to CWM...
I have already formated the phone every way possible (I think), but everytime I try to install a Custom Rcovery, I always fail
I have ICS (676.226.3.en.EU) on my RAZR (XT910), and root...
Someone told me about the preinstall folder, but I didn't understand.
I'm sorry, but I'm used to Samsung, and the RAZR is way more difficult to customize...
Thanks in advance :good:

Similar problem but with stock GB rom (2.3.6)

Hi guys,
I have problem like this on my stock GB rom (RAZR XT-910 - 2.3.6).
After rooting and installing Razr Touch Bootstrap, device rebooted into recovery but screen is VERY dark (I can see the logo and some text over logo).
Also software appears to be functional - just tried randomly touch the screen in region where the "menu" should be and entered one of the option and screen was OK, but I don't want wipe everything accidentally .
I saw number of people had same problem with different phones on old Recovery versions but no normal solution.
Thanks for your help.
please forgive me if this has been asked before. i've tried searching but can't seem to find any fix. my phone was working great but i wanted to try a new rom since i was getting bored. my mistake.. anyway i have CWM recovery on my atrix and it worked good. i've flashed roms before.i was flashing between Neutrino ROM V2.9 and V3 trying to see if i could get the CMsettings to work on V3 without crashing. anyway after a while i gave up and decided to full wipe and just flash V2.9. after the ROM flash i reboot the phone but got a boot loop so i pulled the batter and tried to boot into recovery to wipe and flash again but when i select Android Recovery it just hangs at a black screen. what happened? can it be fixed quickly because my battery before the final flash was about 30%
BTW.. i've tried to reflash the recovery through fastboot and my compute the way i did it when i fist unlocked my phone and flashed the recovery but still no luck... still hang at blank screen after selection Android Recovery
never mind i fixed the problem.... had to flashed a different recovery (in this case TWRP) and then flash back to CWM recovery. idk the reason why but it worked and now my phone is back on and just in time with only 5% battery life left after all the trial and error flashing..
ok i figured out what caused my recovery to crash in the first place. its the gapp addon. when i flash that zip and reboot i get a boot loop and my recovery is gone. first i though it was the zip file that was damaged so i re-downloaded the gapp addon from Neutrino ROM V2.9 fourm but now chrome says the zip is infected so ok i went and download the full gapp addon for CM7 rom and that flashes without crashing my recovery but when the phone restarts i can't access half the gapp like market and gmail and a few others. they show that they are installed in Manage Applications but they don't show up in the app drawer.. whats the problem now? i've never had this problem before
I decided to flash a factory image since the GPS was not working anymore with whatever ROM I tried, plus random problems. The phone was previously set up with CM10.1 and BMM.
Installed RSD Lite, Moto drivers, downloaded several stock ROMs.
From the factory recovery mode I cannot flash any of those zip files so I proceed with RSD lite. I flashed "9.8.2O-124_SPUEM-14_S7_USASPDRICS01O2UKE1007.0R_USASPDRJBO2GB_P013_A012_p2b_S1FF_fb.xml.zip" which is a retail UK JB image. The phone shows the very first boot screen (red logo) and then the screen goes blank. The computer still sees an MTP device, though only in device manager.
I've tried installing other images but they are an older type (ICS I guess, 01.6.7.2-180&01.6.5.1-167) and RSD shows an error while trying to flash the first file from the archive.
Oh, I still have the "Customer error: contact dealer" on the first boot screen, I think this was from a ICS to JB upgrade with CID deletion(?).
I've already flashed twice using RSD, deleted cache+data, rebooted and left the phone to start up for ten of minutes, don't know what to do. RSD lite reports that flashing was ok.
been there

Did you erase CID?
if you did yo need to boot in a different way
U did a factory reset in stock recovery? U cannot flash a ics image after flashing jb via rsd. Try again jb EU image than go to stock recovery and perform the wipes
Tapped from my RazR
Got it "fixed", finally. I had to go back into the stock boot/recovery menu and choose "BP Tools", last option from the menu and then it booted normally.
I still have to do this after each reboot because it boots to the black screen: hold the three buttons together until it flashes (which means a hard reboot), let go of the power button, press power button again while the other two are still pressed.
On the plus side the GPS started working again after factory reflash which it was kind of expected since the same chip is providing also WiFi and bluetooth which were running fine.
I have a root question: the device was rooted with the virtual machine procedure but after a factory reset the root was lost. I had saved it using Voodoo RootKeeper and the app shows: superuser installed, device rooted, /system supports root protection, protected su available. The "root permission granted" checkbox is disabled though and no application is able to retrieve the root. The su binary is in both /bin and /xbin so I don't understand how it can not function.
Edit: ok, got it, the su binary has -rwsr-sr-x and the owner is root so random users cannot execute it. I also cannot change the permissions so I probably have to root again and figure out a way to keep the root after a factory reset. It makes sense to install BMM since it can take care of permissions.
HI
I will cut the long story short - I can only boot through BP TOOLS
Was trying to get Lineage OS flashed - But couldnt
Now after th initial 'M' logo, the phone doesn't go beyond a blank screen - UPDATE - I now have dead Android with the chest open and a red exclamation on it.
i have no clue what is going on.
Can someone please help//
I did a RSD Lite and the screen never went beyond the initial 'm' logo.
EDIT: 1
Very strange behavior -
I RSD Lite the phone again
Then installed BMM (after rooting it of course)
I flashed a couple of ROMs - BUT bootloop
HOWEVER, When I flashed Paranoid Android ROM - 4.4.2 - IT WORKED!
What the hell is going on?

With lollipop and above you need to use safe strap 3.75. reflash with rsd then root then install safe strap. There are two versions of safetrap. One version is by stargo and the other is safe strap for unused partitions. Good luck. If you run into problems just hit me up.

Hi. Thanks for your reply. I cant seem to get through SafeStrap no matter what I do.
I can only do the following:
1. RSD Lite - But CANT boot normally. ONLY BP TOOLS
2. Install BMM through BP TOOLS boot
3. Install and successfully boot ONLY 1 ROM - PA for Razr (All other ROMs give me a bootloop)
What I can't do -
1. Boot Normally (without BP TOOLS)
2. flash any ROM - I tried Lineage 14.1 , MIUI, Stock Razr ROM
3. Install SafeStrap - Keep saying Safestrap is deactivated etc
Update 1:
Following the instructions here:
http://www.droidforums.net/threads/how-do-i-install-safestrap-please-help.240178/
I did exactly that and there is progress
I removed BMM the right way, and I installed Safestrap successfully
I even created a slot1
I flashed Lineage OS 14.1 on it...
However, as always, it is stuck on the Lineage OS boot screen - the small circle going on the curved line from right to left
I can never get past this for some weird reason.
Is my download corrupted?
Update 2:
IT WORKED! I am IN!
Lineage OS 14.1!
ITS AWESOME!
Glad to hear you got it working

BUT oh well..life is NEVER as straight as that..I should have realised that...
Now, I can't flash any other OS on the Stock Slot. I am stuck with PA. I tried 4 different ROMs. All flash in less than a second and say 'Successful'. When I boot into Stock, its still PA.
Is it because they are BMM compatible and not SS?

Just use one of the virtual slots 1, 2, or 3. I use 1.
You have lineage 13 an 14. You also have other ROMs you can use 5.1 and up. You have mokee. You Also have unofficial resurrection remix by transil. Just take a pic and use one or use them all fiddle around some and see which one you like its up to you.
