Hey everybody,
I have problem with my X912 (duh!). I was running Safestrap with CM11 in slot 2, but I also had stock rom as backup. Yesterday I though that I didn't dedicate enough space to CM11, so I wanted to delete stock rom and run CM11 only. I read somewhere (big mistake) that in order to safe some trouble I can just make a SS backup of CM11 and recover it over the stock rom... which I sadly did. Now all I can do is boot into fastboot and recovery, but I can't figure out how to flash cm11 back on the device. I'm really lost and desperate here. I tried the Droid RAZR Utility 1.82 without success, so I'm open to any suggestions. Please help :crying:
Update: I tried to flash recovery.img, but now I thinks its over. I can't access the recovery menu anymore and whatever fastboot command I use it just says "waiting for device" and nothing happens. Is the phone dead now?
Try this? Saved my rear more then once

It's almost impossible to brick the xt912 permanently.

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.
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.

Model xt912 Razr Maxx "verizon"
I used "razr_blade_zip" to root phone. Followed instructions and worked fine. Then installed "safestrap" 3.65. Then went to recovery mode and created a back-up. Then installed cm11-20131126 unofficial-spyder and google app package. Rebooted and everything worked well. I did notice cell signal was low. After I installed a few basic rooted apps to increase network speed like "example Faster Gps". Still so far so good. Here is when things went wrong. After reading about SuperSu I decided to install it and missed a step. I ended up unrooting my in phone. I can't use Safestrap to install back-up. I'm not sure what a hard reset will do. I have googled issue but no real answer on fixing this. Thanks for any help!!!!!
Did you install CM on stock slot?
Assuming you did.
You can't restore stock backup to the stock slot.
That's a limitation with SS.

Find and download Matt's Utility to your PC. I'm sure it has a thread on this forum somewhere. Your going to have to do a complete reset on your phone most likely, but if you follow the instructions you should be able to get back to stock jellybean again and start over.
Thanks for the response

No I installed CM 11 on ROM 1. I left the stock ROM alone. I just can't get back to Safestrap because I no longer rooted. Overall phone is working great. But I still want the option to unroot if needed. Thanks for any feedback!
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..

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?
