hey just got the rogers(canada) variant of the moto droid razr and I have some questions. I just rooted using the zergrush method in the development section of this forum. now I am wondering how do I update to 2.3.6 because I don't want to wait for rogers to release their branded firmware. I'm fine with using other countries firmwares I just need to know if all of the functions will work. and how i can flash it.
thanks.
first off, our Rogers only works with LATAM (latin america) ROMS... not EU ROMS...
and AFAIK, they also don't have 2.3.6 yet.
IMHO, don't bother with 2.3.6. Verizon got their sandwiches on the 4th. Canadian shouldn't be that long now...
Hi, all. I have one question...
Yesterday i've got Motorola RAZR XT910, wich comes to me from China (Shanghai). It is running official 2.3.6 ChinaRetail ROM...
The question is "Could i flash any EMEA ROM to this RAZR?". Or i should use only china retail roms?... As i know, Asia, Europe and Australia belong to one region. And China is in Asia.
I have a GSM RAZR MAXX I got from eBay (new in box). It's nice and I think I will keep it and sell my GNEX. It's from Puerto Rico (Claro network?) and is stuck on 2.3.6. After using Jelly Bean on my Nexus, I at least want ICS as Gingerbread feels very old.
I'm not familiar with Motorolas and their ROMs. That said, what's my best option for ICS today? Wait for the ever-elusive OTA? Flash an ICS ROM? If flashing is the best option, which ROM would fit this model? I am not sure if it's the Latin America version or what. I don't want to root...just get 4.0.4.
What's the best bet for a solid daily driver?
Thanks.
Edit: I am very familiar with ROMS/Rooting on the Nexus, just not Motorola, if that helps. I know how to flash, etc, but am not sure if the process is exactly the same for Moto as compared to the Nexus. I know I can search for how-to's, and my question is more of "what are my options" - wait on OTA or just flash, and if it's just flash, which ROM is best?
Edit2: I've done the clear google services framework, CHECKIN, etc, to no avail. The OTA just hasn't been released and of course there is 0 information from google on this particular flavor of RAZR MAXX.

Choose from one of the follow in the thread:
Latam XT910
Retail Brasil Razr 672.180.350
Retail Brasil Razr Maxx 672.180.340
Brasil Claro
Brasil Oi
Brasil Vivo
Canada Rogers
Canada Fido
EDIT: NOT THESE
Europe XT910
Asia - PSHAsia - ME xt910
China XT910
Im from Australia, so I'd choose Asia Firmware, for you you would choose LATAM.
Before this, follow the steps to unlock your bootloader and root, then you have ICS for your GSM MAXX
Thanks for the post. Just to clarify, I believe the phone itself is from Puerto Rico (Claro network) but I'm in the US. I don't speak Spanish nor do I *need* a Latam firmware, unless the phone requires it to work.
Could I use any of those ROMs on a Puerto Rican device? If I were to pick one that I feel would suit me best, it would probably be the latest version from any listed in your post. It certainly doesn't have to be a Latin American ROM unless that's all that will work with the hardware.
Honestly, if I was you, i'd sell it again.
The way Mototroll treats their customers, at least in Europe has wiped them out of the list of Manufacturers of which i'd buy a mobile phone from.
At the end of the month, my Razr will find its way to Ebay, i'm sick of it.
u could use any rom it dosent matter were its from just change the rom use the latam its really nice and fast

You can install any firmware from either regions, the only differences between the countries are: Bloatware & pre-installed languages. They doesnt affect your performance in anyway.
So go ahead and choose any and flash the firmware, you then can flash any ROM for that works for that firmware.

All are LATAM, and you have no choices but to choose LATAM (theres no disadvantage anyway), the only disadvantage is you get ICS 4.0.4 while the rest of the world are waiting for their ICS for the razr maxx lol
