So we all know that XDA isn't the most noob friendly forum in the world
XDA as the site description says on the homepage is a site for developers by developers, so its quite natural that noobs will feel out of place here. The RAZR forums in particular are not at all organized. With all the ROM, OTA, ICS leak, fastboot and mod threads floating around its just too much trouble for an average user to figure out even the simplest of tasks. So, I decided to do something about it.
I present to you my blog, aashrey99RAZR. It's my attempt at consolidating all that is relevant to the RAZR on XDA. It went public on 1st March, 2012 and its been steadily growing since then. I've got about 12k+ views till now(I have no clue if that's good or bad) and the response from people has mostly been positive.
Currently my blog covers the following topics
Reviews
Razr Vs. Other popular devices
Rooting
CWM recovery guide
Roms - Original and custom with instructions
Mods - only the ones which i think are of actual importance with instructions
Battery Optimization guide
Disaster Recovery Section
Overclocking/Underclocking guide
[NEW] Must have apps
[NEW] Must have games
[NEW] Matt's RAZR Utility
To be added with eta
FAQs(need help with compilation)
Tips and tricks for non-root users(Need help on this one)
CDMA ROMs for GSM through GSM patch(once the testing is completed in the thread in the dev forums, these ROMs will be added accordingly)
Video Tutorials(June-July)
Current Theme: Nuntius
I'm trying to present everything in an easy and understandable format(hopefully ).
So please do stop by and have a look @ aashrey99RAZR

Thanks guys! Cheers!
Please do tell me if I did not credit someone properly. Stealing your work was never my intention and I apologize if someone was not credited.
it's interessting, but...
maybe just don't use foreign word to explain another foreign word
(like 'flashing a rom' in the rom description part)
you know what i mean?
just bring some more professionality but without talk like a pro
PS: need some help?
Actually, as a noob to the razr, I'd like to see a tutorial/"step-by-step" on Matt's utility and why/how its going to make my life easier/great.
Also, some "common problems" with resolutions would be nice as well. Such as "I installed the moto drivers on my computer but when I plug it into USB its not found" type of stuff maybe? Yah know, a FAQ of sorts that you find in other boards on this site but not for the razr for some reason....

im working on that sorta stuff, haven't really had time to browse the forums for the common issues yet. I'm just covering the major parts right now. the FAQs are definitely on my list and so are the common problems.
Nice gonna pass this on to another post in this forum. Might help them.

Thanks bro!
Lemme know if there's something lacking, I'll try and add it.
Planning on adding a mods section soon.
Meanwhile, any suggestions? FAQs and common issues will come up soon.
Modding section up,
Added un-rooting guide!
Have a look @ Aashrey99RAZR
Yeah, a blog where I don't see any real AUTHOR of the RAZR modules/mods etc.
Also, it is a simple copy and paste of the posts that you can find both here and into the EternityProject Development Forums.
Pointless.

Well I'm sorry to say that not everyone find XDA to be the most easy to use site. I'm just trying to filter the relevant stuff and put it in one place.
As for the copy and paste, I won't sit down and type that much of text simply when its all present there, though I am gonna try to make it more understandable in certain places later.
Also I have credited everyone for their hard work and I'm grateful to the dev community and you for working so hard on the RAZR and bringing us such cool mods and ICS roms.
And as far as authors are concerned, I don't see a reason why anyone would consider writing for a new random blog that just popped in some part of the world.
So please if you wanna help, constructive criticism would be great!
Redesigned the blog. Now in RED and BLACK to better suit the RAZR's looks!
PS: Video tutorials section coming soon! Noobs and starters, you've got a jackpot!
Doing a great job. Really impressed how its evolved. Guess I will have another sire I will have to visit on a daily basis. Keep it up. May have to link the site for people and ofcourse give credit when due.

Matt has all that listed out on his original post for the updated version for 2.3.6
As far as windows not recognizing your device, I would recommend un-installing moto drivers, restarting your comp, then going to moto's dev site and downloading the most recent version (4.83 I think). Once installed, restart comp again, wait til boots up, plug in phone and there ya go. Cycle through all 4 USB connections to have all the drivers installed.

Well, I've got a question.
How many bluetooth devices can I connect to my razr?
Thinking abt to buy a bt set - mouse, keyboard & speaker.
Can razr "hold" all this sh** well at the same time?
Just don't want to waste my money ; )
The infamous battery issue has been addressed! Battery Optimization guide now available!
Check it out people!
PS: Work on FAQs started today. Please do drop FAQ suggestions via this thread/PMs for hasty progress!
I need help managing the facebook, twitter and google+ pages for this blog. I'm not very good at publicising stuff so need help!
If anyone is interested please reply via PM ASAP!

When can we use this mod?
- Use beat audio when we need beat headsets? OR we can use Moto headsets with beat audio?
- Same question with XLoud mod?

I've never signed a petition. Are these things indexed by Google or any other search engines? This is one I want to sign but...
I did not quite understand the idea. change.org motorola put pressure on to make this change? If this project gone with 15000 sign. We're sure Motorola will accept?
( sorry for my bad english :/ )

Don't give up hope yet folks. Everyone signature counts. Post on any other forum that doesn't already have this petition on there. Spread the word.
They have unlocked the bootloaders on all of their devices per carrier request since the Photon Q. If you want Retail Verizon phones to be unlocked you need to talk to Verizon, not Motorola.

What about me living in Europe? I have no connections what so ever with Verizon.

I imported my RAZR i from Europe to the US via expansys-usa.com and my bootloader is unlockable. So are the RAZR M XT905 and RAZR HD XT925 from Motorola. All 3 of these are unlockable... If you are asking for the XT910 it does not support the program and they won't be working on making it support it. All phones from Motorola from now on support the unlocking program unless its a carrier branded one and that carrier chooses to lock it. (Examples, Motorola Atrix HD. AT&T denied support for the program, so Motorola is now making a Developer Edition Atrix HD. Verizon blocked the DROID RAZR M and DROID RAZR HD, so Motorola made a Developer Edition.)
Motorola has been unlocking now... if your device is old and unsupported its a shame, but they already said devices sold before August 2012 won't be supported.
The petition was created a long time before August 2012, does that make it valid or void? And whats the harm in trying?
I'm from India, I bought my device from India, is it unlocked? because when I go into AP fastboot mode, it says "Locked" in the 3rd or 4th Line...

Yes Lets not give up hope.... lets try asking Moto to unlock...
We are not failures when we fail, we are failures when we stop trying.
Bootloaders in India are locked by Moto not from Carriers.
I am running on hboot 1.40 Revolutionary unlocked S-Off. Running on Sprint. All feedback welcome. Please keep in mind that this is my first ever Rom Review. Doing WFTN for next Sunday. Stay tuned!!!!!!

Can you provide a RegEx for that? Because I'm absolutely not doing that by hand
Just in case someone wants to see the video without leaving XDA and will "absolutely not doing that by hand" hahahaha I went ahead and included it underneath
@TCO_Dubstep If I could suggest maybe editing the title of this thread since you said you will be doing video reviews every sunday in your video, to something like TCO_Dubstep's video reviews.
Also, maybe get 10 posts so you're able to post these videos yourself without having to space out the letters.......
Just a suggestion and only that, with that said if you don't like it...that's cool!
Thanks for the video review and look forward to many more!
Thanks Mazda!

Thank you so much for the reply Mazda! I'm very surprised that someone as big as you on XDA actually replied. I am trying to get 10 posts, but I don't know what to post about. I think this is my 6th or 7th post, so I am pretty close. Thanks again for the reply and I changed the title. That was a very good idea.

I would check the Q/A sections of whatever devices you own and see if you could pass on some of your knowledge to others.
Just remember to make your posts useful and not things like "yeah I agree" or anything like that or else you might be subject to having all your posts removed and/or get an infraction for doing so.
Let me know if you need anything like graphics or whatever for your thread and I could help you out there
Thank you
Thanks to everyone for the feedback on my first rom review. Up next will be the butterz_s3.6 rom. Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2233594
