U Hello xda,
I've decided to root my xt910 and install cm rom. Root went smoothly however i had problems with the custom recovery. At first i tried safestarps but i couldn't flash the zip it keep aborting the installation :
Set_perm some changes failed. I've tried to install cwm 5.0.8.0 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751826 but i got status 7 trying to flash the rom after factory reset and wiping cache. Couldn't find in updater scripts the assert part that i need to delete to make status 7 disappear because of compatibility. I tried to wipe dalvik cache and formatting system which afterwards i manage to flash the rom. At the end i received message "if rom wasnt flashed on rom slot - 1 phone will not boot!!! This will be fixed soon. "
When i tried reboot system nothing boots. And when i try to boot to recovery i get to stock recovery although i had installed cwm.
Now i end of with a bricked phone. My questions are:
1. How can i unbrick?
2. I backed up nandroid with cwm but i cant acces cwm only stock recovery? Why is that and how can i get to cwm?
3. Why my phone is not booting? I did not flash with safestarps so it wasn't flashed on rom slot-1
4. I only have acces to stock rom, ive download a firmware update Jb 4.1.2 can i flash it with stock recovery to solved my brick?
Am i still rooted? Because i read i need to unroot before updating. How can i unroot if i only have stock recovery?
Please help!!! I can't afford lossing this phone!
Anyone have an idea what can i do? Not sure if i should use rsd to flash fastboot files, im not 100% sure what my firmware version is

Hi all.
I bricked my gsm (italian) razr.
I would like to install last miui, so I installed cwm recovery.
Everything ok, i choose zip from sdcard and then bootloop with miui logo.
So I have to ask: how can i choose recovery mode (to select the restore mode)?
Of course i had a backup first, but how can now restore it?
Now razr is a brick.
Please help me.
Tx in advance.
A razr-noob, ex hd2-expert.
are you using safestrap or bootstrap recovery? a bootloop is not bricked. restart your phone and see if recovery pulls up. if not you will have to enter fastboot mode and flash back to stock, re-root and start over.

Ciao!
Flash a stock rom and don't use CWM which is not working.
1. First, flash a stock system with RSD lite (this one)
2. Then you'll be able to charge your razr and update your system to something newer.
Cheers
Tank's a lot, guys.
I'm offline all day long 'cause my internet went from razr...
Thanks for your replies, i'll now study what i have to do.

Hello
I need immediate help!
Here is what happened. i have motorola razr maxx xt910 MERetail with stock rom. i install BMM recovery manager and then installed CM 10.1 on second slot/system. then i found out SS recovery manager is better so when i was in second rom, i installed BMM apk, hit uninstall and then install SS apk -> install SS recovery. after reboot, nothing boots up!
i only see the motorola logo and then it goes blank.
i tried to flash (through default motorola recovery menu) cm 10.1 and also a stock jellybean rom created by Hashcode (http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/umts_spyder/aosp) but both errors on package signature verification. what can i do?

by default, it had ICS stock (4.0.4).
any ROM will do or it must be ICS and must be MERetail? EU firmware will work as well?

Ok problem solved.
for those who might have this problem; I flashed JB Retail British (9.8.2O-124_SPUEM-14_S7_USASPDRICS01RUKE1007.0R_USASPDRJBRTGB_P011_b57374ab5a_p2b_S1FF_fb_CFC.xml.zip) via RSD Lite 6 on windows into my device and everything went smoothly.
just for learning purpose, can someone tell me what are these for?
cdrom_signed
cdt.bin_signed
devtree_signed

I did the same last night, using RSD Lite 6.1.5 and it said FAILED. Also tried to flash boot, recovery and system img files via Fastboot, also failed. I can enter Fastboot and stock recovery and that's about it. Also tried to flash Nandroid backup via custom recovery but it said "signature verification problem, installation aborted".
I'm out if ideas what to do. If someone can help, please do.

I just did the RSD format and i worked. make sure you follow the steps on getting into the fastboot recovery menu and it should say "ready" until you can force flash via RSD and appropriate rom file.

Please brother, can you post your process step-by-step and I will try your way, I have all the files needed but it just won't work. It is visible in Fastboot cause it shows the device's serial number, but in RSD Lite it says N/A under the device description. Also, fastboot says my CID is 5, don't know is it related to this issue. Flashing from stock recovery comes up with "signature verification failed", whatever I tried: ICS, JB, ICS backup, update...
Also, Fastboot menu says (first line) flash failure. This is my first Motorola phone and I really don't know what to do anymore, I'm pretty desperate. Is it possible that no one can help in this case? As for the HTC HD2 with Android ported, I shared my knowledge and experience which helped many users fix their issues. As for the Razr, I've been reading for days and nights since it was bricked and couldn't find the solution yet.

Its what i did to restore my bricked razr to a working state.
Guys , I just got a RAZR Xt910 from my friend. I tried flashing a new ROM though I think it was a bad error flash , I still rebooted the system. Then now its bricked. Cant access my clockworkmod recovery to restore the rom i backed up also. So I tried to so the fastboot process ? I tried to fix it through RSD and downloaded the the necessary XML file but it was an error just for first step. Is this still fixable ? I'm also low in battery. Can't charge the phone since it doesn't have a software or rom. Any help would be great. Been stuck two days
first use factory cable to charge it... and then manually install OS using fastboot
hope it work

Do I have to charge it first ? Is that why it says can't program ? I has battery still.
Why can't I manually flash a ROM in recovery mode ? I can access the recovery mode just to flash a zip. But all the Roms that I flash is error ? E: signature failed ?
Make sure it's the right rom. You can't flash XT912 roms on XT910. You also can't flash ICS on JB upgraded razrs.
Motorola Factory cable

Yes.
Custom recoveries can't flash firmware, only ROM's. You need RSD lite to flash firmware. Make sure you have the correct firmware for your region, Download RSD lite, read/watch some tutorials to learn how to use it, and you will be golden.

Hi all, I went to clean install CM 11 and something happened and it won't boot. I can get into AP fastboot and into recover (triage Android) were it lets me install update from ext sources. Problem is my battery is now low and Matt's utility won't work. I ordered a black hat adapter but it won't be here until Monday.
I tried updating from ext-sd but with every rom I get:
Install /sdcard
Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifying update package
Installation aborted
SInce I can get into recovery, can't I flash a rom to the phone?

Hey, thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned that I have tried to flash a stock rom, at least I think it is stock. It is Blur_Version.98.72.165.XT912.Verizon.en.US from the motorola firmwares page. Get the same error with that file.
Thanks,

Yep, XT912. Can't use Matt's utility because of the low battery. I feel like I am stuck until the factory cable arrives. Motorola really screwed us with this charge limit issue.
Thanks for the help.
