So I just got a RAZR MAXX running on 4.1.2 Jellybean and found out it was already rooted! So that got me all excited and worked up pretty good! But, i don't know a whole lot about this phone. I am not new to rooting and or/ modding my phone. Ive modded my Droid x2 inside and out but this phone has a lot to worry about on messing up. So i was wanting some help a direction from the community on a couple things (Yes Ive read the forums inside and out on this website on this phone and how to do different things to it, but most are not clear or complicated)
So a few things im needing to know before i do any modding and development to my phone: :laugh:
How to install and flash a ROM properly and how to change between ROMs using SS3.65 (Already got SSv3.65)
How do restore my RAZR if i mess it up back to 4.1.2 on JB using RSDLite? (Got the XML.zip and RSDLite)
What do the ROM Slots do and how to use them in SS3? (Would like to get the RAGE ROM on my RAZR)
Anything I need to be cautious about before Flashing ROMs, SBFing, and or other modifications (Dont wanna brick a new phone...)
Programs i should get? (To flash files and mod the phone? *I got Batmans Utility, SS3, RSDLite, ADB, SDK, Motorola Device Manger)
Like I said I dont know much about this RAZR MAXX of mine and would like some personal guidance from the community! I so GREATLY appericate it! Please if you know anything i could do or help me in anyway, PLEASE reply, all help is needed!

Hello XDA community,
So I need help getting my atrix back to its original state. I bought the Atrix when it first came out, and I rooted it right away. Well I found out that wasn't such a great idea because the first root had some problems(For some reason when I gave my the atrix to a family member and took his free upgrade it will no longer let me send texts), I should have waited a month for the fixed root. So I need help on how I can get rid of the root, and get back my original ROM. I think I have a backup of the phone when I first started and here are my current atrix specs:
Current build number: 4.1.2.6
Android version: 2.2.1
Baseband version: N_01.77.05P
Webtop version: OSHWT_U1_4.257.14
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Current Rom: AdeoInstallerv0.1
Sorry if I am getting something mixed up, kinda a noob at all of this.

If you have not unlocked the bootloader and installed a custom ROM, you just need to unroot it. Try using Pete's Motorola Root Tools to unroot.

Thanks.... But I do have a custom ROM installed, I said it was AdeoInstallerv0.1 and I need to know how to get rid of that. It was the first release for the Atrix and its no longer around because of the problems it had. The reason I haven't just gotten rid of it with a backup is because the people who made the first it messed it up some how and I don't want to have a chance of bricking my phone while removing it.
Can I install Clockwork for that ROM to get rid of it?
If I understand this correctly:
1. Adeo was from the times when the bootloader was NOT yet unlocked, which means you still have a LOCKED bootloader.
2. It only works on STOCK 4.1.2.6.
3. In that case, you have to flash stock 4.1.2.6 sbf to return to stock.
Greetings! I've recently acquired an unwanted Motrola Atrix 4G and I'm wanting to upgrade it to the latest version of Android. Here's the tricky part - it's a Canadian (BELL) phone with an inactive SIM, and I'm not too sure what has actually been installed on it.
As far as I can tell, the previous user has 'Greyblurred' the device (See Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1070076) and flashed it with the custom SBF linked in the thread.
How would I go about updating the phone to Gingerbread? Is an OTA update possible without bricking it?
I should mention that this is my first smart phone, though I quite familiar with the terminology and it's applications. Just a nudge in the right direction would be fantastic.
Here's the system information, if it's of any help:
Code:
System Version: Version 4.2.1.1.MB860.Retail - Blurred
Model Number: MB860
Android Version: 2.2.2
Baseband Version: N_01.92.00R
Motorola Webtop Version: OSHWT_U1_6.54.0
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9

Thank you kindly in advance - any help is appreciated!
So it's been almost a year and I figured I'd give this a bump rather than create a new thread. Does anyone have even a whiff of a suggestion? Thank you kindly, in advance.
Okay, I must say I'm quite surprised. Even after almost a year you still haven't been able to research this on your own?
This forum is crammed with various detailed tutorials and guides, that should be enough to get anyone started...
The most obvious first step would be to determine if the phone shows "Unlocked" while booting and/or has a custom recovery installed.

The phone does not say unlocked. However, it does have CWM installed.
I have read through every tutorial. The issue isn't determining how to get the phone flashed to a newer ROM, it's the fact that it has a unique SBF's on it, and I am unable to receive OTA updates (though that's obvious). I'm wanting to simply upgrade it to the newest version without bricking it.
Since it dealt with flashing an SBF that has since been unsupported, I figured I should ask first, before going ahead and fiddling on my own.
Also, it being a BELL model it all the more frustrating!
(And, I am unable to take it to a BELL service store/send it in etc. since I am in Sweden.)
You have CWM. You have absolutely no need to touch a SBF ever again.
Just flash a ROM through CWM. There is no way to brick the phone that way.
All CWM-flashable ROMs work on all devices.
Hello Everyone, I have a question that might be a bit of a noob question.
Can I take a NANDROID back up from one photon (namely the System.img file) and flash it onto a different photon?
The reason I ask this is because the last time I bricked my photon I was unable to SBF back no matter what version I used. I tried everything and I eventually stumbled upon this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1798145 and was able to get my phone running again. However, my phone runs like absolute CRAP now. Its really embarassing when people see my phone struggle.
My brother has a photon too. Unrooted untouched fresh. I was hoping if i rooted his phone and made a NANDROID back up I could take the files and flash it onto mine and get back to a point where I atleast have a phone that works reasonably well.
Thank you,
-Jeff
What are you running now? System version, etc, etc.
And please look at the rules for posting. The development forum is not the place to be asking questions.

Imho, you'll be far better off flashing this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1837757
Doing a nandroid restore probably works, but you really need to do that from the bootstrap recovery mod (again, imho).
Just go to the thread above, and if you have further questions, post there. I'll pick up any questions as I see them. If you're wondering, I use the SLIM ROm on my phone, Mof's work is beyond merely good.
Thank you tdhite. This ROM is the only one ive been able to flash!!! My phone is running much better
NOTE: I AM A NOOB
Though to give myself some credit I had an old Samsung Charge laying around and decided to use it as the test dummy and now it successfully has a custom kernal and ROM on it using ODIN. I'm learning
SO about 4-5 months ago I started to want to get into rooting and custom roms. I have a friend who is well versed (at least compared to me) and we started talking about it all and we ended up having some fun with my Droid Razr. Horrible experience, very buggy rom, lots of features don't work, or don't work correctly. So I got discouraged. Now that I am doing it myself and starting to understand whats up (and i have a second good working phone that I can switch to in case of brick) I want to fix this razr and bring it back to life. Problem is I need some help figuring out what the stuff on it is and what I need to get myself up to a stable JB rom for Daily use.
Edit: Add: Can someone else please direct me to how to upgrade to safestrap 3.1 from 2.0. Everything I have found is centered around installing safestrap3.1 to a stock phone and I tried it that way and it doesn't work.
Here is what the phone says
Android Version: 4.0.4
Baseband Version: CDMA_N_05.11.01PLTEDC_U_09.11.00
Kernal Version: 3.0.8-g29cfe5e7

I apologize if I am out of line by posting this but i just didn't see another place to ask about this without creating my own thread. I have been on the Razr forums for about 2 hours now browsing and reading and maybe it's just that I have been knee deep in Droid Charge territory for a week and my mind is blown but it all just seems like gibberish.

Then it's easier to do a factory reset,Settings/Backup&Reset/Factory reset/Reset phone...
And you can check Erase SD card to erase your internal storage,to be 100% clean.
But since you are already rooted I'll suggest you to install Safestrap or BMM and try some of Kitkat roms,some of them are really good
