After installing RazrtouchBlack and CWM on my XT910, after “reboot system now” I get the message “Encryption unsuccessful”.
I was able to reimage to the original stock image using RSD and the fast file but I would like to install 4.4 on the phone.
I have also tried to use the safestrap method and it works and the OS loads in the first ROM but for some reason I am not able to setup my corporate e-mail, even in the stock image under safestrap. The corporate policy pushes policies down to the phone so I am guessing that might have something to do with that.
Any of the posts I have read explains how to restore the phone back to the original state but not how to continue installing the new image.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated on how to install 4.4 would be appreciated.

I have a Droid Razr Maxx. I recently attempted to install 4.2.2 using Safestrap and it failed. It would just go in cycles of going to safestrap and restarting. I am now trying to restore my phone so that i can use it again. I cleared the cache/dalivk/and wiped, thinking that it would remove the recently installed file. When I go to reboot in safestrap it says there is "No OS installed". I think I bit off more than I can chew and really don't understand the advanced issues of installing roms from safestrap apparently. I definitely will not be trying this again. Would someone please be able to help me. Should there be a file I could use on the system to re install the stock rom? can I even transfer a file from the computer to my sd card, if all I can do is turn it on to safe strap..Desperate as I work in a hospital and this is necessary for communicating about patient care. Obviously I know I shouldn't have done this. Thanks you so much for any help.
Hi, Thanks to all who provide support and answer questions on this forum.
I need some help. I'm on a droid Razr MAXX, rooted, SafeStrap 3.11, Android ICS 4.0.4, System Version .211.XT912.
I've successfully flashed a few ROMS, ALL ICS ROMS (Flick, Eclipse,..). However when I tried installing any AOSP,AOKP,CM9+ mods The wireless would constantly say my router was "Not In Range" or would be completely non functional as in not even toggling on. So I've given up troubleshooting it and want to start from scratch. I need to know how to completely remove SafeStrap (properly) and Completely wipe all Data on my phone. Everything. Even the folders from old apps that are no longer installed and contain misc. files that are not being used and just taking up space.
I tried Factory Reset from within SafeStrap, and that still left the misc. folders i was talking about on my phone. If I just do a factory data reset from within the phone itself SETTINGS>Privacy>Factory Data reset, will that do what im wanting. Will it get rid of safestrap, or do i need to remove that and unroot first?
I've read places that suggest flashing an SBF file, and I've heard that thats required for using some of the newer JB roms (have to flash a JB SBF Kernel, am i understanding that right?), but I cant find the most recent version of RSD Lite, havent used it before, and honestly dont want to go that far yet until I can get these roms i've been messing with working first.
Thanks in advance for any help. Sorry for the long post
Try downloading the SafeStrap app and then from there choose "Uninstall Recovery"
go into stock android recovery and do a full wipe.
Hey everyone.
A bit of background.
The phone is an xt910, Rogers (Canada) originally. Had been rooted, unlocked etc.
I got my hands on it to see if I could get it back to stock and give it to my dad to have smartphone, start getting used to it.
I have been through just about all the information here and many other places for resources/instructions on how to restore and I cannot get past a certain point. I likely spent near 10 hours reading all the information and there are gaps where fastboot is concerned.
As it stands, the phone has BMM 0.3.4, running a CM 10.1.3, but Google apps crash out all the time.
CM is in System_1, which as I understand is not where it should be, hence the need to restore to stock.
I can also get into stock recovery, but not much else.
There simply is no fastboot option available, RSD will not detect (correct drivers are installed in Windows).
Also tried via Linux.
ADB from stock recovery does connect.
I have tried every set of instructions with no success.
How do I reinstall fastboot?
All the directions keep saying fastboot plus RSD lite 6.0, but no info on what to do if the AP fastboot option is no longer working.
Also, attempts to find the official stock JB 4.1.2 for Rogers Canada RAZR have come up with dead links, including the firmware links in these forums.
Can anyone please help, provide resources on what to do here?
RSD is the only tool that can restore or flash the phone to stock state. If it ain't working, you're out of options.
Or you can just stick to CM. If BMM is there, just try reflashing CM with correct gapps.

My friend was tinkering with his phone and screwed something up. He was set up running cm11 on romslot1 with safestrap. I don't know what he to screw everything up but right now I can't get it back to stock.
I used matt's utility which completes but Safestrap is still there after complete wipe and keeps not booting into stock. We have tried going into the recovery and deleting the romslot and manually deleting all safestrap data but it is like it keeps restoring itself upon reboot.
Safestrap settings flat out just don't stick.. I can boot into cm11 still which is it. If I install an app and reboot the app is gone like nothing ever happened.
I also tried wiping internal storage and it does not let me. How can I get safestrap off this SOB and return it to stock. I'm out of ideas..
turn your phone on, start safe strap and uninstall safe strap from the app and not from the app drawer/management when safe strap is uninstalled the boot to recovery should be greyed out then you reboot your phone normally it should restart on the stock rom
hope this helps
also when your friend screwed your phone up he may have lost the root explode so check phone to see if it still is rooted

No this isn't working. I can't boot into stock at all to uninstall safestrap. The phone's internal storage is stuck in read only mode which is probably why everytime I factory reset it safestrap stays behind. I also can't even update the cm11 rom. It just restores the same image everytime you boot so if you install and app and restart the app is gone.
you can try flashing back JB 4.1.2 to the stock rom through fast boot and by using RSD lite which is a motorola utility tool for flashing roms
do a little research in the xda forums to use RSD lite
once you have a working rom again and rooted you can then install safe strap and run it to install cm11 4.4.2 into rom slot 1
hope this helps

Any help to flash back to stock with ubuntu
any way to use sbf_flash to get back to stock JB 4.1.2? I have flashed other phones with sbf but this one needs a xml file in rsd lite. Do I just sbf flash the phone like any other droid?

You should be able to.
I would try the updated Droid Razr Utility though (has updates to SS and the last phone update). Link to the forum is here. I had problems the last muck up I did on my phone and with the older version I kept having issues with SS and other stuff like Rom Slot 1 corrupting on a boot into SS.

My problem is that the internal storage is read only. I have not had luck with sbf or the droid razr utility.
Sounds like a rsd time.

RSD works to get the phone back to stock yes.. however it does not wipe the internal storage currently stuck as READ ONLY... so after I wipe with RSD and reboot it goes right back into romslot-1 on safestrap.. where nothing can be deleted and no changes can be saved..
Hi there, i have one problem with my xt912, when I install stock rom, with rsd lit or razr blade, boots normally, has a good signal, but cant send or receive sms and calls, or if I'll receive sms, its after half an hour or such, can u guys tell me what to do? I am gsm user, and i have tried several stock roms, but same result
that's very weird... everytime I need to use RSD, it wipes completely my phone, removing SU,SS and restoring my stock JB rom. But, have you selected Stock slot on SS to boot on it? and have you mount your /system folder?
hi all its been a while since ive been on the boards because ive been running rooted stock deodexed rom. i havent flashed in a year or so but just recently my settings have stopped.
i continually have been getting this message instantly after ancelling out the message. i cannot get past the select language option. theres no escape.
I couldn't even backup my current rom. so i did a battery pull and rebooted into recovery to flash different roms. I've tried dn3 which was the last rom i had saved to my sd card, and miui7. both yielded the same results of the same message about the settings has stopped. its obvious something has went bad over time. i have done nothing but use it as a phone. no flashing or anything. is there something i need to flash in order to troubleshoot this issue? i do not have the money to obtain a replacement through assurion. also my recovery wouldnt let me restore my 1 backup on my sd card. so is there anything i can do from scratch? any settings zips to flash? Odin? ive searched boards and nothing specific to my device (I605). please help

I'm assuming you are still on the 4.1.2 bootloader, since you were able to flash miui7 and dn3.
If something has gotten corrupted, you could try Odin'ing the stock recovery back onto the device by following the directions on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53624921
After getting the stock recovery on the device, do a factory reset and wipe cache in the stock recovery. Then you can use ODIN to reinstall CWM/Philz or TWRP (whichever recovery you were using previously). Hopefully you have an old backup you could restore... or you can set up your ROM again from the start after rebooting back into the system.
If worse comes to worst and wiping in the Stock recovery doesn't fix things...sounds like you may have to Odin back to stock 4.1.2, and then reroot with CASUAL and start over again. Droidstyle put together a good guide on how to restore the phone back to stock 4.1.2... you can find his guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34891181. I think the 4.1.2 firmware link is down, but you can grab it from Sammobile.com.
You probably know... but don't flash the official Stock 4.3 or 4.4.2 Firmware onto the phone because there's no current bootloader unlock methods for those..... 4.1.2 is the last Android version for our I605's that has a "do it yourself" bootloader unlock method.
