I need help!!
Trying to flash the stock roms I received from here-->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370987
I always get a mismatch error suggesting that the software I'm loading isn't correct. Looking at my phone, the model is a bit different.
It's (L090a) while the models listed are (L100a & L100i).
My phone's recovery has been blocked by my carrier Digicel so I'm unable to enter recovery, let alone do any backups via CWM.
Does anyone have access to this stock rom? or at least the correct preloader will do.
Unlocked bootloader?

I'm just curious as to whether you found anything to unlock the bootloader on the L090a. Thats the model I have and my bootloader is locked up tighter than an virgin in a convent.

Well, in short, not yet. But there's hope.
Curently, I have no access to CWM. I was a bit hasty and flashed a ROM for a Blu Life VIEW! My phone couldn't boot, was bricked. I tried flashing the cwm files from lopestorm and I had access to cwm for the first time, but even after flashing the stock L100 files, it couldn't boot. Used a friend's blu life play to extract the stock rom using MTK Droid Tools. Tried hard to revive it.
Currently it's working but back to square one. When I flash a new recovery file (which worked before) the phone doesn't boot and needs to be reflashed and reformatted. Hoping to get some help from a professional. Just have to figure out a way to get the cwm to work.
Realised too that the bootloader being locked isn't a problem once you're using SP Flash Tools.

Hi All -
New to this phone obviously (RAZR MAXX). Trying to get a grasp on it, as it's way more complicated than HTC and Samsung phones. I've rooted and installed 100s of custom ROMs with those brands before. This is my 1st Motorola since the Motorola V120c if anyone is old enough to remember that dinosaur. On nTelos' network nonetheless.
I have some questions that I would like answered and I hope someone will do me the honor as the content is really sporadic.
What is Fastboot for this device, what does it do?
Safestrap & Bootstrap? What's the difference? Which is better?
Can I flash ROMS through CWM like I have in the past?
What purpose does RSD Lite serve other than to flash Fasboot files?
Why would I want to flash fastboot? (Redundant question I think)
Thanks to anyone that takes the time to help me out.
I rooted and flash the crap out of my last phone which was Samsung. This phone seems really complex. I'm really on my toes, don't want to brick my phone. But I do want to root to get rid of the bloatware and test out some roms. The stock OS is laggy at times.
Honestly I really like the Stock OS as is. It does seem laggy at times, but nothing worse than I've run into on HTC or Samsung phones.
HTC Sense UI was/is terrible since it's so bloated and Samsung couldn't make a GPS radio capable of locating a mall let alone provide directions to anywhere. Terrible phones.
So far this phone is awesome, really bought it for the battery life honestly.
I too would like to DELETE the garbage that Verizon has installed on this thing. In terms of bloat, Verizon takes it to a whole new level. Just wow.
I'm in the same boat. Only had the phone for 2 days so far. I've already rooted it, but haven't gone any farther. But in some of my reading, I thought I saw that removing the bloatware can cause OTA updates to not happen. Hopefully someone can shed some more light on that issue.

I rooted mine 5 mins after activating it haha. As far a bloat, just use titanium pro and freeze it. Very simple. I froze around 35 apps and haven't had any issues associated w it. Should an ota come I should be prompted still. Just unfreeze all apps. Accept ota, reroot. If it breaks root completly then eventually it will get root again. I actually Ind, e system to run very well but honestly have no idea how just stock runs as I froze these apps instantly. I did not safe strap or bootstrap but I had previous knowledge of things I should be able to freeze and not and I figured it out myself
I find this phone so easy. There YouTube videos on everything.
To Get bootstrap, all you need to do is press one button, this phone has to be the easiest I've been on. The only people that struggle are the desperate ones that cba to search the forums And YouTube

- Fastboot: its just the stock bootloader, can flash moto updates/factory reset/wipe cache. it also lets you into AP fastboot, which is where u recover stock with rsd.
- Safestrap/bootstrap: bootstrap is currently our only way of CWM on the gsm phones, i understand safestrap is pretty much like dualbooting except its not(only its not completely compatible with gsm)
- can you flash with cwm: YES!
- another purpose for rsd: i have only used it for recovering after ics, so idk.
- why flash a fastboot image?: if you mess up badly or get a bootloop you can recover back to stock

removing bloatware will cause you to be unable to get ota's (freezing and then unfreezing with TiB before ota update works fine, as long as you don't uninstall).
but i think its enough to just flash a fastboot with rsd (fully return to stock), then you can get the ota

I'm afraid I deleted one app before I was aware of this. TiB shows that I made a backup of it, but doesn't give me the option to restore it. Guess I'm screwed.
hehe, probably not
did you make a cwm backup prior to uninstalling the app(s)?
then you could just restore that
if not the titanium backup file should be on your internal sdcard in /mnt/sdcard/TitaniumBackup as a gzipped .apk with a kinda cryptic filename
you could try ungzipping it and installing with a file explorer.
or you could just backup with cwm and flash the correct fastbootimage for your phone from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362956
usind rsd lite
and that should do it
but why not just flash a fastboot and isntall arctic 3.0.5?

There is a file there, but it doesn't have an .apk. There's a gzip file, inside that is a tar file. In there are imbedded data directories, but no actual files.

Well, as I said, I only got the phone Saturday, and I work weekends.
But I've got an issue hooking up to my work email account. I was unable to get it working on my Touchpad using CM7 or CM9. I originally bought a Galaxy Nexus and had no luck with that either, thus I bought the Razr. I still can't get the native apps to work, but at least Touchdown semi-works (no Activesync). So I'm actually a little gun shy about trying new things.

Does that mean that we can't use ROM Manager or do we just need to use Bootstrap to install CWM and than use ROM Manager like we otherwise would? I got used to that app on my old phone.
I got a GSM RAZR and I have just rooted, the root script pushed in my phone some app called Bionic Bootstrapper, which gives me options Bootstrap Recovery and Reboot Recovery, what does each of them do? I don't plan on changing ROMs for now, but I definitely need to be able to recover the system.
It appears there isn't any real root on this device since the bootloader is locked. Samsung and HTC devices have their BLs unlocked so it's easier to make a permanent Recovery that will persist on reboot. I'm speculating of course, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Reboot recovery should reboot the phone to a ClockworkMod style "DOS" menu that allows you to preform functions like Back up, install zip files or even a new ROM.
When I did it, it rebooted a triangle and exclamation point, with an android guy on it. I was worried at that point. I hit the power button and the Recovery loaded instantly. Not sure if that's normal, but it's quite shakey compared to other devices out there.
I love this phone, so don't me wrong. It's just going to take some getting used to.
i dont think all of rom managers functions will work :/
bootstrap recovery: installs recovery (you only have to do this once)
reboot recovery: reboots your phone into cwm
the thing is the bootloader is locked, so we cant put cwm into the stock fastboot.
there is however a little workaround made by J.Y.Daddy that starts cwm everytime you boot, but this is installed in your rom, not in the stock fastboot, so you have to reinstall it when you flash a new rom :/

Is there some way to otherwise boot into CWM enviroment, some combination of keys or something like on other phones? Not much use for CWM if you brick your phone and can't boot into it. Also, is installed CWM not going to cause a problem for regular OTA updates and do we need to reinstall it afterwards?
From what I understood, Motorola has put some sort of recovery environment on this phone already, but I don't know what it can be used for.
And I have GSM version, bootloader is not locked, so I don't have to worry about that.

there's a workaround by J.Y.Darry that makes it boot into cwm on every boot.
there is no keycombo for cwm booting. but you can boot into fastboot with both volumekeys + power
where you can go into stock "recovery" and AP fastboot
you will use AP fastboot in combination with RSD lite to flash back to stock if u mess up, there are also more options in fastboot, but i have never used them.

you will use cwm to flash custom roms and make backups
then if you mess up and want to recover a backup you have to
- set phone in ap fastboot mode
- connect razr to computer
- use rsd lite(or an alternative flashtool) to flash the fastbootfile for your phone
- root and install bootstrapper
- reboot into cwm and restore backup
i dont think cwm in itself will cause any problems for OTA's. but if you install a custom rom its a different story
as long as you have the bootstrapper app installed on your phone, you should be able to bootstrap recovery and boot into cwm

yes they have put a rudimentary recovery in it. but you can only use it to apply updates from sdcard (to manually download ota and install), wipe and factory reset. (someone correct me if i'm wrong here)

Yeah I agree with you. Rooting, flashing, CWM all 100 times easier on HTC and Samsung phones.
Don't get wrong though, I Love my RAZR Maxx, and the default OS is actually OK. Which is good because it seems that there is little to zero developement for the CDMA version of the droid RAZR/MAXX at the moment, if at all.
they're all over on the HTC/Sammy forums =D

Ain't no agruing with that, but they don't make as sweet looking and solid phones i hope motorola pull their head out of their ass soon...
Development for the cdma version is found mostly on droidrzr.com (plenty of beta/alpha ICS and some GB roms) but they are missing some parts, so we have to wait till motorola release ics be4 they will be complete.

I just recently rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 and swiftly installed Rom Manager. I have used ROM manager in the past before I owned an iPhone when the Moto Droids were popular. Upon installing I flashed the recovery over to CWM - However, when I reboot into recovery I still receive the default stock options. I even purchased the CWM Touch recovery to see if that would work, sadly it did not.
I am stuck as to what to do here, I have googled the problem and cannot seem to find a cure. I can not do anything with CWM - When I click backup current ROM it simply reboots into the stock recovery.
If anyone can help me with this issue I would be extremely appreciated
Thanks,

Did you remember to go to Rom Manager > Recovery Setup > Click ClockworkMod Recovery (Under INSTALL OR UPDATE RECOVERY) > Then click on the Samsung Galaxy S4 (Verizon).
Yes, since that is the only way to download and install the recovery that is what I did...

I was able to flash it with no issues.
Do you mind telling me exactly what you did (even rooting wise) - I used some compiled package that was on droid life I believe. It had all the tools compiled and was the closest thing to a one click without being one click. I think it even attempted to flash the recovery. However, that is how I rooted my device. I didn't flash another rom. Still on the stock rom.
I just rooted the device. Switched to SuperSU, restored all my programs via Titanium Backup. Then I flashed CWM.

I have read conflicting posts about this but is your bootloader unlocked? I read that the bootloader was unlocked before the phone was even released - Then I read somewhere else that the Verizon bootloader was super locked down and not cracked yet. Obviously, you would need some bootstrap or the bootloader unlocked before the device would even be able to use a custom ROM. Did you flash the phone to get root, or did you use all kinds of different tools to do so?

Please read about loki in the development forum. The bootloader is not unlocked and unlock is not needed to flash roms or recoveries.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I will read about loki - maybe when I read about loki this will be explained, however I was always under the impression that in order to install custom ROMs you have to unlock the bootloader. I know that a bootloader or bootstrap is what tells your device what operating system to boot to and if it is locked this prevents you from loading a custom ROM. If I have this all wrong, would someone care to explain? You can use technical explanations as I will most likely be able to understand what you mean.
EDIT:
reading about loki clears this up. It's simply (yet sophisticatedly) tricks the aboot into thinking the rom passes the checksum that is physically embedded into the phone and proceeds to boot the custom rom. The boot loader itself is still locked, but is bypassed.
The only problem with this is they can release an update to patch the sequence in which the checksum is done so that it cannot be loaded over itself.
My problem still remains - Clockwork Manager is not working.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Sorry I posted it in the wrong section. If anyone knows what is wrong please let me know, I am thoroughly confused as to why this is happening. Maybe I should restore stock and reroot the device, although I don't know what that would do.
Am I supposed to install Loki? Because I never did that, I was under the impression that rom manager would do that.

Hi there, just before I start, I want to thank anyone that offers any help what so ever. Thankyou.
Ok, I have a HOX+ and rooted my phone not along ago and I am on not on any custom rom and used cwm not twrp (unfortunatley)
Ok so I got the official update notification from google today,so went to update,as I have made no mods so far the the stock rom, besides gaining root access. straight away it puts me to cwm,where I select to go ahead with the update and flash it. I know I must have made some rooky noobish mistake but have managed to half-brick my phone and cant work out how to get round this,
I can gain hboot usb but my computeris not picking up the phone and the recovery I made isnt in the folder when I try to resore- I get the folder with the date I made it in cwm but there is nothing there, the only rom i can manage to pick up is the google one and that doesnt work,
It was successfully flashing and when done did the reboot and then bam, just stuck on htc logo screen.
Any help again greatly appriciated, as i have been trawling the net and all parts of the forum for the past day and cant get anywhere.

If you are using hasoon's tool kit.
Click on relock bootloader.
Then in hasoon's toolkit select unlock bootloader (make sure you have unlock_code.bin of your device with you...)
hi still looking for help with my avoca android tablet. it doesnt boot up into android operating system just stuck on boot screen but can go into recovery mode with things like reboot now, update rkimage and so on.
i have tried to root it with an app called kingo root and says its rooted but i have tried to install a custom rom but nothing happens says aborted. is there anything i can do bare in mind i cannot access the tablet to turn usb debugging on and nothing else. if there is a thread here that will help and get things working again then id be really grateful or if someone can tell me what to do any help will be appreciated.
Well first off root will not allow you to flash a custom rom. You need an unlocked bootloader as well as a custom recovery. Your best bet would be find the stock image and flash that to get it running again and then take a week and do some reading and learn what your doing
I no what I'm doing I just can't find the things I need as the company no longer exist and I've searched hi and lo for a copy of their stock rom but nothing if I had that I no il be ok. But not sure how to unlock bootloader as I've used adb and fastboot but it don't work says waiting for device. Any pointers please

That is one of the biggest issues with cheap devices like this. You will most likely never find drivers or the stock rom for it. The best thing you might be able to pull off is porting a rom from a similar device.
Thanks yeah I think it's my only hope all I got to go by really is that this model of tablet uses jelly bean 4.2 as stock, so may see if can flash a stock rom from googles dev site as they have different model stock rims and just hope that one works. Il try nexus stock one first see if get lucky if not just work done the list. What do you recommend I do first shall I unlock bootloader first even though the command doesn't work in fastboot says device null or waiting when I type fastboot oem unlock. Or am I better starting off with a stock rom using adb? Also what recovery do you recommend I've used twrp and clockwork. Thanks
I'm trying to side load twrp using adb and all I get is opening update package, verifying update package, then installation failed do you no what I'm doing wrong
Hi, good evening to the community!
(EDIT: Anyway, I want to apologize if I'm doing something wrong. I recently joined).
I believe I made the biggest mess of my life, and now I'm desperate. I downloaded the latest version of TWRP, to update the one I already used; the problem is that. Now he is no longer in Recovery Mode. And worst of all? I had already deleted my OS. So, there's no way I can authorize OEM unlocking. So I can not use ADB & Fastboot. And I think I have to throw my device away as it is unusable. What should I do? I'm desperate and there are no solutions.
-Thanks

There is no need to worry if you corrupt you recover, just enter into bootloader mode then flash the recovery.
code:-fastboot flash recovery moto.img
Note:- Moto should be replaced with the recovery name
If you want to return to stock ROM then here is the procedure:-
Firmware:-https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/surnia/official/
Procedure:-https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum....tore-moto-e-2015-stock-firmware-t3044936/amp/
Done now you are now stock ROM .

Yes thanks! I did it yesterday, watching a Brazilian video. I had to download 3 different ROMs to be able to do such a process; so I did the process through Fastboot. Thank God I did not have to buy another device, hehe. And I'm already using another Custom Rom at the moment (RR, but I plan to change it as soon as I find another great new one that does not bug WhatsApp). Thank you again!
