Hey guys,
This question may have been asked already, but I had no luck in searching for it so forgive me if it has.
I need to return my Razr Maxx to stock and unroot so that I can get rid of it as I just upgraded a couple days ago.
A few notes first:
Stock rom is on latest OTA.
I am currently on Safestrap 3.11.
I have CM 10.2 in rom slot1.
I also have the JBX kernel.
I know that latter two don't really matter, but I believe after reading that the way to go about this is to :
1. Switch to un-safe mode (aka activate stock rom)
2. Load up stock and open safestrap and tell it to un-install.
3. Remove safestrap apk.
4. Unroot
I've also read that I could just use Matt's utility to flash the stock firmware back onto the phone, but will this remove the recovery as well? Please advise, thanks.
You can try either method.
Though in my opinion, using Matt's utility is better coz it reflashes your stock ROM and cleans everything.

So by clean everything, does that include removing the recovery?
It will not remove the stock recovery.
But it will remove Safestrap.

All right, so I rooted my Verizon Droid Razr Xt912 using droidrazrroot.com. Anyways. When I installed safestrap I made a full backup of the stock rom/system or whatever you call it. Now I want to go back to stock rom, unrooted. What is the step I should take? Restore the stock rom, uninstall safestrap delete all safestrap directories, go to super user and click full unroot? does that seem right? thanks guys.
Yeah, that should do it.

If you want to be guaranteed full stock, the Best way is to fastboot back to stock with the latest fastboot file.
on ota JB Leak OTA stock.
using safestrap 3.11
rooted.
Yesterday my sound on razr maxx stopped working. Sound profile was up all the way and could make phone calls but speaker was not working.
I read I needed to restore my backup of rom because of the sound problem.
when I restored the system to the stock it would get past safestrap but then it would just blackscreen and vibrate once.
My backup did not work at all on the stock partition. I even tried a factory reset, clearing everything, cache, dalvik, system, etc and it still wouldn't restore.
So then I decided to create another rom slot and try to restore my backup it worked perfectly without an issue and booted right up.
Keep in mind this is with the stock ota jb release, not another version.
My question is how do I get the stock partition back. I tried reflashing the ota update but it needs the ics rom to update. Is there a jelly bean ota that doesn't verify the partition before installing?
Thanks a million!!!
Use this: JB xt912 unbrick utility
then use Razr Blade Root Exploit to gain root again
start all over with ss 3.11
I cannot get my phone into recovery. It will not go back to recovery so I can flash the rom. It just sits there with the android guy laying down for about 3 minutes then doesn't do anything and I have to reset it.

You have to press vol+ and vol- at the Dame time to get the recovery menu to come up after you see the Android guy laying on his back

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!
Model xt912 Razr Maxx "verizon"
I used "razr_blade_zip" to root phone. Followed instructions and worked fine. Then installed "safestrap" 3.65. Then went to recovery mode and created a back-up. Then installed cm11-20131126 unofficial-spyder and google app package. Rebooted and everything worked well. I did notice cell signal was low. After I installed a few basic rooted apps to increase network speed like "example Faster Gps". Still so far so good. Here is when things went wrong. After reading about SuperSu I decided to install it and missed a step. I ended up unrooting my in phone. I can't use Safestrap to install back-up. I'm not sure what a hard reset will do. I have googled issue but no real answer on fixing this. Thanks for any help!!!!!
Did you install CM on stock slot?
Assuming you did.
You can't restore stock backup to the stock slot.
That's a limitation with SS.

Find and download Matt's Utility to your PC. I'm sure it has a thread on this forum somewhere. Your going to have to do a complete reset on your phone most likely, but if you follow the instructions you should be able to get back to stock jellybean again and start over.
Thanks for the response

No I installed CM 11 on ROM 1. I left the stock ROM alone. I just can't get back to Safestrap because I no longer rooted. Overall phone is working great. But I still want the option to unroot if needed. Thanks for any feedback!
My wife and I both have original Droid Razrs (XT912). We just switched to T-mobile (with new phones) and she was reading about switching phones and she read where you should do a full factory reset to clear personal data...and, she did.
The problem is, I had her phone rooted and have Safestrap installed. So, now we have a phone that is not rooted, but still has Safestrap installed.
The good things are that it is no longer a daily driver and the phone still works fine.
My question: since the phone is no longer rooted (tried VooDoo...no dice...backup was gone), is there a good way to do a full restore of the phone to factory and remove Safestrap, so the phone is back to full factory?
I am including a screenshot of the phone information.
Thanks.
My stock rom on my razr shows I lost root back in Nov but I have cm 10 on rom slot 2 and the root checker app shows full root access but I cant install updates so im interested in a restore also, the droid razr utility was my go to for these issues but ive moved to a new device so im not sure if there is an update

Use Matt's utility. Find it in the Dev section. You can flash stock JB 4.1.2 with it. It will revert your phone to stock.

Matt's Utility did the trick.
