Hi,
I have been checking for JB update for Asia(India), However as we are not getting official update, so are there any way to update it to JB? What i want to know is that can i just take any JB sbf and flash it on Razr xt910 or need to do something else? Very confused now..and which SBF is more suitable for Asia(India) phones..Like i have seen people reporting problems with EU sbf like baseband problems etc..Anyone here from India especially who have updated it to JB and not facing problem then pl help.. Thanks,..
U can Flash EU ICS Through RSD Lite and then U can Update to JB through ota or manually update through Recovery.

It won't affect your baseband or any other communication. Don't worry about that.

Been running the jb Vodafone EU update. Followed the guide, kept my root and all is well.
Made a few changes. My 3g signal was always full but the internet access used to be spotty. Just patched the radio from the EU retail leak and all is well.
So go ahead and flash the retail EU leak. Don't bother with the Vodafone one. I was impatient so I'm stuck with this with root access or flashing the EU retail sbf and losing my root.
DM me if you have any questions or need any help.
Cheers

I keep hoping one day Asia.retail will just get OTA as a surprise. Do I really have to switch to EU? I really don't want to. I feel abandoned.

Its been officially announced by Motorola that Indian Razr & Razr Maxx will remain:good: on ICS and there will be no JB update so the better option is to switch to EU JB. I have switched and have no regrets..

I used to have a SE Xperia X8 in the past.
When I started unlocking it I found out that in order to flash a ROM, you sould be rooted, same here with my xt910.
Although in order to flash a kernel you sould have first unlocked your bootloader. The kernel flashing was done with a PC program (.exe) called Flashtool. (You could also change the baseband version using flashtool, which I don't know what it is...)
So, how does it work with xt910?? I've red something about CID, which again, I don't even know what it is ( ), and nothing about bootloader or something.
I would really need some help here!
Thanks!
This device's bootloader hasn't been unlocked yet. And probably never will, if you are looking to flash Roms install safestrap or bootmenumanager, and then read the OPs that should do, you can check some vídeo tutorials at youtube also...

And what about kernels? They are all flashed via recovery?? What a "kexec" is? A kernel, right?
Every kexec ROM brings their own kernel. Kexec bypasses the bootloader lock and loads the kernel con top of the stock one, the only kernel you can flash in recovery is jbx, bit you have to install a kexec ROM first... Check the tutorials con youtube, they are very good...

Check the dev section. There you can find my JBX-Keenwl. It currently works only with 4.2.2 roms. But I am working on 4.3 now.

Thanks a lot!
Two last questions:
1) If I flash jbx, then can I normally run the stock 4.0.4 rom from ss? And if not, is there any way to get to my previous kernel?
2) What CID is all about??

see he re for how to BMM (which you can flash kernels/basebands and more)
CID is a customer ID for keeping you to flash a firmware form other region
With BMM you can backup, erase and restore your CID

There is NO need to play with the CID anymore! But if you think you have to do it anyways, please keep multiple backups of your CID on save place (computer, USB stick...).
Without the backup you will be stuck with bmm/bp tools boot which busts your warranty for sure.

Well I get that, the question is since it was possible to flash a GE ROM with s-on for 4.3 why not 4.4. Mainly because I and a few others out there can not seem to get s-off.

No one knows why 4.4 GPE won't work on s-on phones. If you want stock android, then I suggest flashing an aosp rom.

If your phone isn't an mdk or dev edition Verizon s4 there's no custom recovery like Philz for you.
Only SafeStrap.

4.3 Exploit?
The Android 4.3 builds on the Verizon i545 (MJ7, MK2) are quite easily exploited and rooted. But that's not the right question.
What matters is what bootloader version you have.
The MDK bootloader can be bypassed with Loki. None of the later bootloader builds allow arbitrary kernel or recovery flashes. Each build for the S4 has locked down the phone further. However, all of the i545 builds are currently rootable. What you can do once rooted is pretty limited post MDK.
