Can the tutorials in this forum be used for the Verizon Droid Razr MAXX as well? I didnt see a specific forum for the Razr MAXX just this one and the MAXX HD. I also have a couple of other questions.
1) whats the best software for backing up my existing image incase I brick my phone?
2) Do I need a separate piece of software to back up my phone after its rooted with a new ROM?
3) Is 4.4 kitkat the latest ROM available?
4) Is the Razr MAXX capable of running 4.4?
Sorry, Im a complete noob when it comes to smartphones but I want to upgrade to 4.4 because LG has a smart watch that I want that requires 4.4 on yoru phone.
Thanks,
47 views and no one can answer these rather basic questions?

1) You can't,the best way to return to stock is with Matllgrof's utility or Rsd Lite,these are computer programs
2) You can backup your rom with the same custom recovery that allows you to flash it,Safestrap or BMM
3) Yes
4) Ofcourse
Btw,Razr Maxx and Razr are the same phones,the only difference is in the battery.

http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_razr_maxx-4666.php
has any custom ROMS, Rooting, Flashing and any other support in our forums?? I didn't understand where to ask and I am quite confused about the things i saw here in this section.. I hope I am not breaking rules to ask this.. please guide me.. I am planning to buy it
thanks
Hi, it's the same as the Razr with an extended battery. My father has the Maxx and I have the plain old Razr XT910, so I flashed his Maxx with the same ICS leaked release, now his phone says XT910 like mine. There's plenty of Roms out there. I dual boot mine. First partition is Stock ICS and my second is Epsilon V4 (just read that they've closed the Project!). Plenty of guides on XDA to help you get to where you want.
damn i wish this thing comes to Canada...
Hi,
I bought a new Razr Maxx. It supposed to be unlocked.
I have a few questions:
1) I want to install a custom ROM. I want to use the last Android version - 4.2 or 4.2.1. I've searched the forum and I see that there are many versions to 4.2/4.2.1, What are my possibilities. How do I install the new ROM and where can I download it (I don't have a SD card)?
2) Do I need a specific version of 4.2/4.2.1 if I need support for certain languages or this version support Google version languages?
3) I've some experience in Linux OS. Can you help me understand why do I have to use some exploit to get root after I've installed a new OS?
4) How do I check that the boot loader is unlocked.
5) Can you help me decide if I need a strong cover for the Razr Maxx or I can buy a random silicon case?
6) Can you recommend on a good car charger and car phone holder from ebay?
General note: Currently I have no SIm for the Razr. Do I need it to install new OS?
Thanks
Pick up a custom rom based on whether u are on a cdma or gsm network. Try out the following roms
Cm10.1 its 4.2 based
Cm10 rom based on 4.1.2
D-wiz its a good custom rom
Root ur device use razr utility... info given in this forum and also install SAFESTRAp v3 its a very good recovery tool and u can always keep ur stock custom rom
As far as my knowledge goes moto razr has a locked bootloader...
And i suggest u buy a pretty decent phone cover as there are reports some of the device have a fragile gorilla glass so u might wanna protect it.
-hit thanks if i was helpful
OK I am kinda newb to RAZR, not new to flashing Roms etc. I see some people run safe strap others use boot menu, whats the best new way since JB update?

I have rooted my month old Moto Maxx to 4.2.2 12.15.15. What are the benefits of going back to stock & taking the OTA & then trying to re-root over just installing a new ROM ..say CM? I got the message that the OTA for 4.4 is available...Whats my best bet? I'm happy just being rooted & able to get rid of the bloat.
I think you may be in the wrong device forum. This is for the Droid RAZR released in 2012. We have no OTA update for 4.4 in sight. I think your looking for the droid Maxx. That device thread can be found here:

Hello,
Hopefully I'm not posting this in the wrong area (sorry if I am)
I have a Verizon Droid Razr Maxx HD and have been having problems since the Kit Kat (4.4.2) OTA update. As it was updating there seemed to be a glitch of some type and the phone has had numerous problems since, I've done a factory reset 5 times with no improvement and somehow have lost the ability to wipe my cache using the volume button method. Is there somewhere I can download the stock update or full install file and then overwrite the existing ROM?
The phone info is:
Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD
Android version 4.4.2
System Version 183.46.10XT926.Verizon.en.US
Never Rooted
Any help would genuinely be appreciated, I fairly proficient with a PC but a noob with Android.
Thanks in advance.
Well the bad news is you are in the wrong forum. This is the non HD older RAZR forum. However the good news is I am familiar with both devices and can point you in the right direction. Download version 1.4 of this utility which is for the XT926 model. It will give you all you need to reflash kit Kat without even having to wipe data and if that doesn't help then try option 1 which is full wipe and flash!
