Hi friends! i have a razr maxx xt910 and i messed up a little trying to install a new rom. but let take you step by step and hopefully someone can help!
i had stock rom JB vodafone eu and yesterday a saw Jelly Bean 982.124.14.XT910.Retail.en.AU IMPROVED LIGHT wich caught my eye.
so i installed bmm(my phone was already rooted) and continued to install the rom on system 3. i had some trouble but i figured it out and everything was ok. the booted perfectly and i had a new rom ready!
but ive noticed that somehow lost my stock rom! (pressing all the buttons and selecting the recovery did nothing. it only showed me the android with the red triangle.)
so in order to fix this i had a (bad) idea to use rsd lite and flash back to a previous rom and work my way up again. the result was a failed flash and now my phone boots directly to fastboot!!! if i close it go to the stock boot menu(pressing all the buttons) and select normal mode the phone boots normally without an issue.
So does anyone have any idea on how to fix this!
every help is much appreciated.

Hey all!
I've been struggling with this issue for almost 2 weeks now, I used the Droid Razr Utility by MattLGroff to upgrade from GB -> JB without realizing that there was supposed to be an intermediate step of going from GB -> ICS. So the result of the upgrade has left my display acting all crazy where about a 1/3 of the screen is all garbled, looks like it's displaying noise like an old TV (see attached picture).
I'm able to get root and I install Safestrap 3.11 but when I boot the phone I can't get SS to appear. There is a pause in the boot process as if SS is there waiting for input but nothing I do gets it to boot. I also tried BootMenueManager where I select reboot into recovery and all I get is a black screen where the recovery screen should appear. I've tried re-flashing with the utility about 5 times without any change
So my question is simple, does anyone have any ideas as to what i can do to fix this?
Why can't I flash back to GB or go to ICS? All i've read is that it's not possible and haven't really come across any real reason why it doesn't work.
I appreciate any help you can provide!
Thanks!
You can't go back from Ics to Gb same as from Jb to Ics.
And you can't have Bmm and Safestrap at the same time,just one.
Did you tried flashing the rom with Rsd Lite?

Just saying that you can't go back to a previous version doesn't tell me the why aspect though. It's missing from a lot of the information out there.
When you say installed on the phone can you clarify? I have SS app installed but the recovery is not installed, i went and used SS's uninstall function but is that enough or do I actually have to remove the entire app? I'm not sure if this makes sense so let me know if i need to clarify.
I haven't tried RSDlite let since there are several other backup steps the lead up to do that from what I've been reading, I just haven't had the time yet. I assume it shouldn't be to hard to find the fastboot files for an XT912 Verizon JB but if you happen to have a known source for the files let me know!
Thanks!
So ,im sorry but its a long story. Hopefully someone can help. My note is Rooted Ive been using TWRP. Everything had been fine until 2 days ago. I tried flashing a ROM i found on Goomanger.( I had been running liquid smooth) just wanted to try something different. Anyways it got stuck on a boot loop. Cant remember the name of the Rom. Anyways i was able to get back to recovery, thankfully. But when i wiped and flashed back to liquid smooth it would say optimizing apps, then it would reach a certain number then reboot and star all over again. So then i tried another Rom and the same thing happened. tried flashing back to stock rooted but it would turn on then completely crash and star booting up again. So finally i was able to flash paraandroid 4.1.2 and Gapps, but here is the kicker i have no service (AT&T) says cannot locate network, my IMEI is gone basically the cellular isn't working. Everything else works fine WiFi,apps, camera. Just cant make calls. I really need your guys help please.:crying:
If you have a suggestion please let me know, i hate using an old Iphone

Just odin back to stock. Get a complete factory stock image from the main sticky thread and flash it with Odin and Download Mode. There's a bug on one of the TWRP versions with 4.3-based ROMs that will put it into a bootloop by breaking device reboots. I was unable to flash my way out of the problem and was forced to do a complete reimage which solved all the problems and put me right back to clean-out-of-the-box state, then I reinstalled TWRP (though an older version before the boot loop bug) and re-flashed my custom ROM. The package I used was the stock image and Odin tool all in one .exe, just plug in to download mode and run it and it flashed bootloader, recovery, system, kernel, etc. all back to stock.

Thanks thats what i did, I just basically had to use KIES to use the emergency recovery, then root my phone again. My question is what version of TWRP causes this? cause i used the newest version i could find off GOO. My other concerne is, will it accept or be safe to use a custom ROM? Well i gues ill find out :laugh: THANKS AGAIN!
Everyone with the sgh-i717 is having problems with the latest TWRP and the most stable version is 2.5.0.0. Go with that one or you'll be starting all over again I imagine. And don't just stop at the download link in the OP's, read the thread and find out what's going on. The problems with TWRP have been going on for a while and the development threads have a lot of comments about the latest build causing problems. Good luck! :good:
Hi, I'm new here.
Pretty new to exploring how to install my android to a newer version and so on.
Thing is I got my Optimus 3D, I've searched for help how to install to Jelly Bean 4.2 and I always get to this site. Problem is when I try to download the needed file, it does not exist.
I need a ROM/updatefile blabla. I know how to install but i can't get access to the needed update file. Please help!

Here's the link for the roms for your phone..have fun trying them

Fail
I got it to work. Almost.
Installed OptimusRS JCV3 but now my phone stucks everytime at the startup logo:E
The installation went without any problems. No fails what so ever except from the failure during startup.
Where do I go from here?
Boot into Recovery again.Wipe data/cache and go to "Advanced" and wipe Dalvik cache/Battery stats and Reflash the Rom.
Note:-
1.Should have stock ics rom before flashing the rom.
2.If the setup is completed in less than 5 sec then Wipe the System too

Thanks for all the help guys.
Still the problem remains. I can't even get into recovery-mode. What ever button i press on the phone, it starts up like its just being in sleepmode during the lag and it stays that way. I can't get pass the LG logo or get it to recovery-mode? What is the problem?
Hello guys,
I am in great need of your help.
About 6 months ago I have successfully installed Lupus kernel and Octane ROM on my Satsuma, bootloader unlocked. Yesterday I have decided to change it to Kappa 1.6 kernel and Fluorescent Feather ROM, unfortunately it's quite difficult.
So I've got Flashtool, followed the tutorials and flashed kernel. Then when rebooting I entered Recovery and followed Saqib Nazm instructions in his thread. Installation was ok and it had prompted me to finish Setup. I went through all 7 steps but at the end I got "Unfortunately Setup Wizard has Stopped. OK" the phone itself was blank. I couldn't switch it off, so I took the battery out, then switched it back on but the phone is hanging on that pretty wave animation on the beginning.
What to do now ?

You either got bootloop or brick. Try to enter recovery mode to recover your ROM. If you can't enter it, I'm afraid you have to flash the whole ROM from the very start..
Better to install backup of previous rom which was working fine for you..

It is not good!
Hello I'am back with very bad news.
since the last post I have tried for hours to come with some kind of result, but to no avail.
*I've tried to install stock ROM - flashable zip in Recovery, phone gone dead!, I've managed to get to Recovery and installed FF ROM (no back up done prior, idiot) phone stuck on Android upgrade
*I've decided to download FTF, extracted it, used Flashtool - all drivers done too, but my phone can't get to flashmode, it is switching itself on/off constantly.
*yes I do have Kappa kernel, but it's not possible to finish ROM installation, the Setup wizard crashes every time at the end and the phone is blank, without ROM.
any ideas folks?

yup... that's bootloop... flashing the FTF without changing the kernel back to which one it was or the compatible one with the FTF you flashed will only cause your phone keep restarting (bootloop).
since you didn't backup your ROM, the only option is to flash the firmware from very beginning.
Flash the FTF, and also flash the kernel. you will get your phone back to the very start of your phone just like it was when you bought it.
Problen Solved
ok, so the bootloop is solved,
I do not know how I managed to do it. After hours of trying I installed another ROM - Flawless ISC v4 and keeping Kappa kernel. As I said before, no idea how, just endless trying because I love my Satsuma.
Thanks very much for help
So I decided to root my phone and then flash it with Cyanogenmod 12.1 Nightly Build following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr/development/rom-cyanogenmod-12-0-t2950906. Unfortunately I could not install google apps on my phone because the partition created by safestrap was too small, I am used to installing roms that completely replace the old one so I was not expecting this to happen.
So I attempted to install the nightly build on my stock rom in order to get the space that I needed. I made a back up to my SD before formatting the stock rom and attempting to flash nightly to it. However when I turned my phone back on it would boot and then display the android lying on its back with a exclamation mark inside of a triangle. I worked out how to get to the recovery menu from here and attempted to restore the safestrap back up from there but it did not work. I then attempted to update using the cyanogenmod 12.1 zip, at which point I was presented with "installation aborted", I trawled these forums looking for the retail rom, which I found and they gave me the same result. I have tried using the RSD Lite to flash it back to stock and the result is an immediate fail.
In the AP Fastboot menu it was displaying that the battery was ok but that it could not programme. Now, because the amount of time that I have spent trying to fix it, it is displaying that the battery is low and therefore I can no longer flash it.
Can anyone help?
First of all, you need to charge it.
There's a thread, here somewhere that might help you to do so.
Either get a factory cable or you might need to work with your usb cable.
Once you have power, get the right ROM and flash it using RSD.
Its been really long since I had a Razr, but one thing is for sure, you need enough juice in battery.
