Guys!
I need your help!
I have a Razr Maxx XT910 retail running JB 4.1.2, I want to install the kitkat custom rom on it, so somewhere i read that i need to first root the phone, then install custom recovery CWM, then go for kitkat.
I'm stuck on the first step, Rooting
I have tried the method which includes Oracle VM VirtualBox and the JB_bionic.ova file. does not work. i tried more than 10 times and after rebooting it says update the su binary(super user update). I guess it means my phone is not actually rooted.
What should i do to get the kitkat?

Hi Forum. I need help. I rooted my phone before using motofail and the ICS is now available in my country.but the update failed/ and I verified that I need to unroot my phone first. I unrooted my xt910 via SuperSU/OTArootkeeper. looks like it works coz I no longer have the superuser on my phone. and ota rootkeeper/apps says that my phone is unrooted. but the ICS update still failed// I dont know what to do now. my current system version: 65.1.40.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en*.03

Yow.. Thx for the reply man. Will you please send a link of post or somethin related the compatible rsd file that I will use? I really have no idea. Should I root my phone before proceeding? Btw I didnt install/flash any ROM. My razr was just rooted

Sorry,being kind of a noob myself i don't know how to post links just search the forums and look for videos on YouTube, that's what I did, because the razr has a locked bootloader it's very hard to really ruin it, seems the devs have a fix for everything ! Good luck

It seems like you are already on PSHAsiaRetail stock.
So just read and follow the instructions given here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1748944
**Root should not be a problem if you follow the above thread! cheers..

I don't know if this will let me post a link yet, but the "Literally Fool Proof Guide To Installing .211 (ICS)" (Google that) was the guide that got the update installed for me. It involved wiping the phone, but it's worth it since I had the time to go through my Titanium backups, etc. Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692694
EDIT: BTW, I had to get Version 1.7 of Matt's DroidRAZRUtility to re-root after installing ICS 4.0.4 (i.e. the .211 update). Version 1.6 didn't root it. I did not need the "Modified" version 1.6, though; did the fastboot flashing with Matt's 1.6-final. I also had to install updated Motorola drivers (came with DroidRAZRUtility1.7forICS.zip) to reroot.

Hi there, after receiving a new RAZR since my last one broke, I decided that I only wanted to root it and install cyanogen mod onto it. Fast forward 5 months and now I've decided I want to install the new MIUI v5 but in order to do that I need to upgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2. I downloaded the OTA update but after it attempts to install, it reboots and says update failed. Just some background info I have a GSM RAZR rooted and have safe strap on. Any ideas on how to make it not fail?

Thats probably because you removed some system apps,you need to flash ics again through rsdlite and then update to jb.

I don't think I removed any system apps though, I haven't uninstalled or disabled any apps that it came with.
You don't even need to upgrade. You can use this tool to install and boot MIUI without upgrading: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...-between-jellybean-kernels-with-ease/?hl=dual

In order to use that tool he has to be on jb kernel not ics.

So I have seen numerous threads here on how to install a ROM to upgrade to 4.1.2, but I am not sure how to begin if my phone is already running that software. How would I root the phone?
Use Matt's utility.

Hey all.
i rooted my xt912 with .apk installer and then tried to install cwm for a custom rom but the result in form of encryption unsuccessful.
Now i am unable to use the fone while i have reset the cell several times.
I have read several threads like http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr/help/xt912-stuck-encryption-unsuccessful-t2819034 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1649613 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068332&nocache=1.
But i am unable to understand because i am a new bee.
It is humbly requested to please explain in detail and in easy words so that i may pick it up easily and could do something good with the cell.
You posted in the wrong place
Secondly, download droid razr utility by mattlgroff to restore Jellybean stock on your phone.
For XT912 you can use Matt's Utility - then you're back on JB and it's already rooted.
Um... Why not use Safestrap recovery though?

Once your phone is working and rooted install the safestrap 3.75 apk and then run it. Then install the recovery and then you can boot into the recovery and start flashing.
