my device is soft bricked - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello i have an android device for 3 monts now called "accent a400" this has:
CPU: MTK 6572 dual core 1.2 ghz
screen: 4" WVGA pannel
RAM: 512 mb
connectivity: 2g: gsm 850 900/1800/1900mhz
3g: WCDMA 900/2100MHZ
WIFI: 802.11 a/b/g/n
camera: 5mpx back/ 0.3mpx front
OS: android 4.2.2 jellybean
and it's having a bootloop for the 3th time now i couldnt do any thing, i tried all the solutions given to me by the internet, i browsed to find any rom to flash it with but the device isn't necessarally known by any means the only thing that keeps this alive is the warranty as they send this to the manufacterer evry time and they flash it with the stock rom, i tried contacting them for the method or just for support on how to get this device running and no luck by now
i am no android modder i dont consider rooting or flashing my device just because im afraid to hard brick it
and if my phone is not in a bootloop any more it doesn't run google apps
im freaking out right now i really need help i don't want to factory reset this phone again because i did it before and it didnt bootup and got stuck on the manufacturer's logo
i was considering flashing the rom for the "techno p5" wich has similar specs but i don't think it'll work please i need help i can't use my phone if it doens'trun any apps

[Q] Motorola RAZR V XT885 unable to find out how to get a ROM on this phone

Well met.
I am hoping that I can find some answers here on how to get a custom ROM on this phone.
It is a Motorola RAZR V XT885 purchased from Bell Mobility (GSM) in Canada. It is carrier unlocked. (img 1) shows all the info on the "about phone" screen. It looks and has the same stats as the MT887 and the generic Motorola RAZR V Canada
It has already been rooted successfully. I have a backup in case something goes wrong. I tried installing SafeStrap 3 but from Hash-of-Codes email to me, it does not work with my Razr. Fortunately it did not brick my phone.
I am not adverse to trying BootStrap or similar if it will give me the results I want. Again I run into the issues of finding instruction for the family of phones but none for my model in particular.
The problem I am running into is that most of the info on this phone or those in its family are for CDMA phones and if I am understanding correctly, if I use any of those roms/basebands/updates, they will brick my phone although the rooting procedures are the same. I need more than root as I see no point unless I want to take off some bloatware.
So here is what I am looking for:
(1) A way to install a recovery on the phone. Once I get past this hurdle, I think I can navigate my way through getting a rom on it.
(2) I am hoping to update the radio on it as it keeps putting my Wind Mobile into away mode. There was an update with version number 6.16.215 for the Droid Razr/Razr Maxx. and I do not know if it would work on my phone because it looks like it is only for CMDA version.
Here is some base info on the phone:
GSM frequencies :
850 900 1800 1900
Standard UMTS :
850 900 1900 2100
xHTML
WAP v2.0
HSCSD
HSDPA 14,40 Mbit/s
HSUPA 5,76 Mbit/s
HSPA
HSPA+
Thank you in advance for any help/direction given to help me with this phone.
How to root? And did you find custom ROM?
I also have the exact same phone, XT885 (got it off of Kijiji). Unfortunately, it keeps saying "Obtaining IP address..." when I try to connect to WiFi. Did some research, and found there's something wrong when I tried to hard reset. It is something called "Dead Android Red Triangle (DART)" but exactly sure what that means. So here's what I would like help with:
How can I get rid of the "Dead Android Red Triangle (DART)"? Is it possible?
Is there any possibility to somehow connect to WiFi, if I can't get rid of DART?
How can I root the phone to remove the bloatware?
And what custom ROM did you install, or still searching for it? I can't seem to find much data on XT885.
And last but not the least, is it OK to download apk files of paid apps from internet, and install them on an Android smartphone? I assume Google can easily determine the legitimate apps on my devices as I have signed into my Google account which shows what apps I have bought. The XT885 came with numerous pre-installed premium apps, and when connected to my laptop I see I can save these apk files for future use.
Just want to know if it is OK to do so.
Thanks in advance for all your help

Memory : 2 GB ROM / 1 GB RAM
Android Ver. 4.0.4 no Root
my phone stuck in bootloop on the picture

The phone will not boot.
I need a factory reset.
In recovery mode is a password required and this is from Docomo.
Answer from Docomo:
We apologize for the inconvenience, but we do not give our customers the password for the force reset.
How do I get into the "fastboot mode", because I could with "fastboot-w" also delete all data.
Or is there a other methode for wipe user data on none rooted phone?
Is there something else i can try before i use a hammer and destroy my Phone ?????
Any help would be great.
