First of all, you must be on a Windows PC. Then you can upgrade you device to the official JB 4.1 Motorola firmware. There is no official JB 4.2 from Motorola for our devices. BEWARE there is a chance of bricking your device if something goes wrong. Do it on your own risk.
First you have to download some stuff.
Motorola Device Manager (Contains the Motorola USB Device Drivers) from here
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481
RSD Lite (Use 6.1.5)
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/42057363/RSDLite_v6.1.x.zip
Then follow this tutorial and fastboot upgrade your device to JB 4.1
1.Find the appropriate JB 4.1 Fastboot file for your device from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231289
or here
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_spyder/list.php
(BEWARE you will brick your device if you use a wrong Fastboot file)
2.Rename it to something like 9.8.2O-124_SPUL-17_Claro.xml.zip (short name without gaps, because RSD has a limit of name characters)
3.Install Motorola Device Manager
4.Install RSD Lite
5.Run RSD Lite
6.At Filename click the button and browse file XML Fastboot Image you downloaded
7.Turn off the device
8.Press and hold Volume[+] + Volume[-] + Power buttons at the same time until an option come up
9.Choose AP fastboot
10.Connect Razr to PC/laptop
11.Wait until it is recognized by RSD Lite and all its components are installed on Windows
12.Click Start
13.Wait until the process is done (do NOT turn off the PC or disconnect the USB, this will brick your device)
14.Done
After that you have to root your device in order to install custom 4.1 or 4.2 or 4.3 or 4.4 ROMs.
In order to root follow this tutorial
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40901777&postcount=30
After that install Safestrap custom recovery following these instructions
http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/
Now you are ready to flash/edit/do whatever you want on your device.

I accidently selected USA band on RAZR XT912 and it blocked all GSM signals . I was travelling so i applied the JB OTA update over JB and it bricked my RAZR .
How do i unbrick it . While upgrading to JB i read that there is no way to go back to ICS
Bricked my RAZR after selecting USA Band
http://batakang.com/ftp/?dir=DROID_RAZR
Place tho JB OTA on your sdcard
Download the last file in the list at the above link
Place phone in Fastboot mode
Pwr/vol+/vol-
Vol- to AP Fastboot
Vol+ to select
Run the .bat file in the extracted download
When complete phone will fail to load
Power down and use pwr/vol+/vol- again and select recovery
Apply JB update again
Unfortunately there's no way I'm aware of to go back to ICS but the above file will get you to a state where your phone will accept the update.
Razr blade is on the same FTP server if you want root
Credits go to mattlgroff and @djrbliss (think I spelled those right)

This solution works perfectly for unbricking Motorola RAZR XT912 .
-Selected USA Band---> signals blocked
-Applied OTA update of JB over existing JB ---->bricked my device
-Followed the above instructions--->everything working perfectly
Possibly bricked??
So I basically did the same thing. I manually upgrated to the JB OTA and my radio did not work at all. So I tried this fix and when I go to run this through stock recovery it just fails. So I tried to run it through Boot Manager on my phone but whenever I select it the screen just goes blank. Any idea's??? Im not feeling to good about this, please help if you can. Thank you in advance.
Hello am having the same issue I changed the Base band settings to USA band now I can't use a sim card on it . Hence, the signal is lost completely no network at all.
Am aware am suppose to flash the radio
Fastboot flash radio radio.img
I just wanna know the step by step procedures in accomplishing such task or any other method preferably that would yield the same end result.
Thank you

some basic flashing information in my
Moto Drivers, Firmware, RSD Lite, and other Unbricking Tools
see the mfastboot link
mfastboot is just a moto specific fastboot version
Sent from my XT1254 using XDA Labs
I have a Droid Razr Maxx and my System version is 673.94.324.XT910.MERetail.en.06 running Android 4.0.4 (ICS)
On checking for Updates, it says my phone is up to date.
Motorola site says this phone will remain on ICS and hence I want to change my region to EU where JB has been released for retail version.
If I want to flash my system to JellyBean retail version say Britan EU from this link, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231289
what is the correct sequence of flashes to be performed?
Should I first go to ICS of EU region then go from ICS to JB, or can I go directly to Jelly Bean.
I have never flashed my Motorola Razr Maxxx and am not rooted. Can anyone please give me pointers to where I should start?
Once I flash to a different region, would I receive OTA updates for that region ROMS?
Just flash it on top of your current Rom. No need to go to EU ICS first.
Updates for the RazR? I'll bet there won't be any Updates anymore.

Thanks for the reply.
However one more question: My phone is not rooted and when I go to AP Fastboot mode, I get the following message
Code:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
0A.74
eMMC Info: Size 16G
To return to normal mode - first press power key to power down
Device is LOCKED. Status Code:0
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
My Worry is the line stating that Device is LOCKED.
Should flashing using RSDLite work without any additional steps?
Of course it shows Device is locked > That's your Bootloader! It's always locked on the XT910 This has nothing to do with RSD.

kindly guide this method more because i am also have same s/w.
i have rooted razar maxx and using safestrape 3.11

I successfully flashed my ROM to JellyBean en.EU (UK Retail version) -> 982.124.14.XT910.Retail.en.EU from ICS 673.94.324.XT910.MERetail.en.06
The steps I followed were as follows:
1. Take backup of your SD Card as this flash erases everything from internal SD Card and make sure battery level is at least 80%.
2. Turn phone off and remove your Sim and external SD card (Just to be safe)
3. Go to boot menu (While in power down, press and hold both volume keys, then press power button)
4. Scroll to AP Fastboot mode using volume down key. Select the AP fastboot mode using volume Up key.
5. Start RSD Lite 6.0 in computer (Make sure you have motorola drivers installed)
6. Connect your phone to computer using USB cable (In AP Fastboot mode)
7. Select the downloaded AP Fastboot file (Retail British is what I used) from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231289
8. Click on Start
9. Sit back and relax for about 10 mins when flashing will be complete and your phone will reboot automatically.
More information of tools can be found out in this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539192
Remember: Once you flash JB, there is no way to go back to ICS. But I am loving Jelly Bean and Google Now. Phone feels smoother.
Hit Thanks if I helped you.

Yes, you will lose root by flashing. But there is a new linux based exploit for rooting again which i have not tried but seems to work for others -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257137
If your current ROM version is Retail (i.e not locked to a specific carrier like vodafone), you should only install Retail version.
As the title says, this is how to istall Jelly bean 4.1.2 on XT886.
I found this way and it works on my phone, if anything happens to your phone I'm not responsible.
*THIS IS FOR XT886 ONLY! IF YOU TRY THIS ON ANY OTHER PHONE YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE FOREVER.*

I can confirm this DOES work!!! Tried it on my Wind RAZR V. It performs perfectly. Thanks so much for the tutorial!
Basically what you're doing is flashing XT885's Jelly Bean but then putting back the XT886's radio from ICS.
Is there any way to go back to stock XT886 ROM or to reflash XT885 ICS ROM with AWS radio? The thing is that the ICS ROM for XT885 that works with AWS (the one included in the thread) has support for Vietnamese language which I really want on this phone. However after updating to Jelly Bean it removes the Vietnamese language.
I tried flashing both the XT885 and XT886 files in RSD Lite and both of them fail with error "Failed flashing process. 5/17 flash cdt.bin_signed -> Phone returned FAIL"
Any help?

I'm sure that it's failing due to trying to go to a lower software version. Without an unlocked bootloader you won't be able to downgrade firmwares.
install Jellybean(4.1.2) on XT886 (ONLY XT886)!
Hi,
After installing JellyBean, my xt886 lost internet connection. Dubbing APN settings not helped.
any suggestions?

After i installed this i lost my data connection. Calls worked but no internet. I figured out by the end of the day i had to add a APN since there were none. Also there were some initial settings that popped up regarding the sim when i first powered up after a successful install. Maybe something to do with that too but i know for sure it was the APN

Keep in mind, that although his instructions are not ROM specific, some ROMs do have a slightly altered set of instructions. If you run into any issues, typically the ROM's thread will have some sort of solution, and usually most things are fixable.
Take some time to read through the ROM thread to find out what may not be working as well. MMS, WiFi, and Bluetooth are all common broken features, but they usually are fixed pretty quickly in newer ROMs.
Hey.. I change firmware from my Motorola XT910, but I do not understand how it has changed IMEI, I have no signal from the SIM card and I fail to change with an older version [failed flashing process. 1/19 flash cdt.bin ].
some help .. ? please..
Good Luck
Press power vol up and down at the same time. Use ap fast boot mode and then download rsd lite install it. Know this is the important part. For the rsd to flash without giving error you need to download the correct firmware depending on your model. You need to take in consideration that if your phone was in android 4.1.2 you need to install firmware with android 4.1.2 if you try to install 4.0.4 it will give an error. Hope I helped you any question message me.
So how do we get the sbf firmware of motorola xt885 if we recently updated to jellybean mistakenly. But want to flash jellybean firmware because of how we can go back to ics. Elboss help is there a way? A utility or jellybean sbf will help. Thanks
