Hey all, just ran into some trouble trying to flash CM-10.2.1 onto my Droid Razr xt912
powered down and booted into recovery, luckily i backed up the stock rom, wiped the stock rom, and tried to flash the .zip file....the program said that the operation was successful, but upon rebooting, no OS loaded up...
the weird thing is that when i was testing out the release to see if i wanted to replace my stock rom, i loaded it onto a partition via safestrap and it seemed to work just fine..
anyone else have the same problems? can anyone think of anything i have done wrong? any help would be greatly appreciated. i realize that this post is slightly vague and i dont know much about flashing roms or anything, only what i have read online. so please by all means ask me anything! i am greatly interested in this ability of the android devices and am wanting to learn as much as possible!!!
thanks again in advance for any help
From what I've read it needs to be loaded onto a partition so if it works you did it right

Earlier CM 10 builds had a restriction. They can only be flashed on the Slot 1 using Safestrap. This was removed in CM10.3 so if you are trying to flash CM 10.2, you need to use only slot 1.
PS: The update script says that in flash process too.

Hey y'all, here is the situation I need help with....
While I have years of experience flashing, rooting and the rest, I made the noob mistake of not actually paying attention to everything and now I have problems. I have the OG Droid Razr MAXX running the JB Kernel with Safestrap 3.11 installed. While checking out some of the other ROMs out there in various slots I somehow wiped the system on my stock ROM slot, and now cannot get anything to install properly there, and cannot boot from there.
I can run ROMs from the other slots, but have also somehow now horked Slot 1 trying to recover, and have only Slot 2 working. Biggest problem is space available, since the other partitions are still there.
What can I do to just completely start over, with a fully wiped phone since I am now on JB? Not sure if I can go ahead and use Matt's utility or not, I would like to get it as close to factory as possible and then go from there.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!

I have done the exact same thing. Have you found a solution yet?
I have no clue how exactly you managed to erase your stock ROM, however, try using Droid Utility 1.82 and restore your phone completely. Then you can re-root your phone and go on from there.
However, this is to be only used with the ICS kernel otherwise you'll brick but you wiped your entire stock ROM which makes me wonder if this would actually work since the stock ROM is now gone and you're running a non-official kernel.
I got the same problem here, i followed (at least I think I did) the tutorial and got myself in the same situation ....
I can't paste links but if someone wants to post this information feel free: h t t p : / / pastebin . com / F8sr8SBm
Essentially you need to flash the stock firmware back on to the device then re-root, I don't believe you can use the stock rom slot for anything but the stock firmware.
Also note that the flash took 10 minutes, but it took about 16 minutes total for the phone to reboot. So once flashed it takes about 6 minutes for Android to boot up.
Now that I think of it, did any of you try to wait for Android to boot up for 10 minutes or more on the stock rom? Anyways I'm back to Square 1 now, at least the phone works.
Guys i need some help.
I was running the leaked JB OTA, but when i saw the MIUI, i tried to install it by overwriting safestrap over BMM. i could use safestrap but when i boot the rom, i get stuck with a blank screen.
after a bit of research i think i might have messed stuff by running ics on JB kernel.
Now im stuck, So if someone can please help....
Thnx in advance.
Edit:
Tried to install with fastboot, now everything is messed up, while flashing, it shows that recovery- partitions doesnt exist
Good morning! I installed the newest safestrap and I tried installing a new rom and get nothing but errors all the way around. I enter into safestrap, created a new RoM slot and check for errors. After all that was fine I attempted to do a normal wipe and it fails. I then attempted to just install the Hyper ROM and that fails also. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong. This is my first Samsung, however I was very proficient in this stuff with all the Droids I've owned. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Okay so I am a newbie to rooting and have safestrap and rom toolbox on my phone and a few other things. I backed up my data and system of my stock rom. I then booted back into my stock with no problem . I then proceeded to make boot back to safestrap and make a rom, because I realized that I needed a rom to fool around in. I made the rom and realized that I needed a an actual downloaded rom.zip to make it work. The video I watched was very misleading, and I didn't pay attention to well, so I feel very ****ty for possibly ending my phone. So I pressed on my stock rom to activate and resumed to press the reboot the system and saw NO OS! I thought easy fix and tried to restore from the back up I made when I started this. It did its thing and failed over and over saying unable to mount /data , /cache , /system. I now don't know what to do. Is there a way to get the OS back. What did I do wrong? I really need help, I know I'm so stupid for making these mistakes didnt know fully what I was doing. Please help me get this thing back up and runnin.
Btw The software is jellybean 4.1.2 if you need to ask me any questions feel free. Thank you

If you have an XT912, use Matt's Utility from the dev section to flash your stock ROM back.
Read carefully before proceeding.
You'll need to install Moto drivers.

Would I just run the jellybean no wipe data official software? . And I'm still in safestrap menu. Can't leave that.
Ok so I seem to have fixed the problem by shutting my phone down holding power, and booting in to ap fastboot, i realized my phone wasnt recognized by the computer, had a heart attack and booted back into normal mode. i then loaded into safestrap again and saw that all the memory was showing for my stock rom, then i rebooted the system and didnt get the no OS message , idk what happened or why it did this, can anyone possible explain? thank you
Glad you fixed..

Hi, so I've researched for the past few hours on this but I'm still lost.
I'm currently rooted and on Jellybomb 2.0.0 rom and freeza beastmode 3.4.0 kernal. Android version is 4.3 and still on MJ4. Using TWRP recovery.
Yes I know, I'm years behind and just did not have the time to mess with my phone. I'm currently still using this as my personal phone and love it, no need to upgrade to the note 7. My question is, Can anyone help me update my phone to Cyanogemod 12.1?
From what it seems like, Backup data using Titanium Backup. I download the Cyanogenmod files needed and Gapps and place it into my SD card. I go into recovery and wipe the necessary files and then install the files needed and then install SU??
That seems simple enough, since I'm so outdated, is there any other steps I am missing? If anyone knows exactly what I am trying to do and knows how it should be done, would you mind providing me with instructions? I'd greatly appreciate it!!
Anyone?
