Please guide me how to flash it because there are so many on web and I don't want to 'experiment' with my phone!
Everything stock as of now and its on some 'vendor' Rom with no software update option.

Hello Guys. First off i must say im very confused! I'm not very tech savy when it comes to rooting phones and such. So please when you reply could you make it as simple as possible. thanks
Okay so my phone is currently on 4.0.3
BASEBAND I9100XXLPS
BUILD NUMBER IML74K.XWLP4
Now i've tried updating to a later version but it doesn't seem to work. I'm not sure what im doing incorrectly. I think its odin that you wait for that Yellow light or something but it never goes yellow?
Anyway could you kindly link me to a stable firmware that i should use.
Could you provide any links for odin ( or any other software needed ) just incase there are updates because i haven't used it for a while.
Rooting
I would assume i would root after once i've updated to the new version.
Could you kindly provide a link that explains it pretty easily for me to root the phone.
My end goal is to put CyanogenMod on the phone.
If i've missed anything out or miss understood something, please feel free to explain.
thank you in advance for the help.
First,forget about doing anything until you get Odin sorted out.
You can root and flash roms without using Odin.......but if something goes wrong(like no bootup c/w cant acess recovery) then you are in big trouble because Odin isnt working.
skip the firmware update and jump right for cyanogenmod.
1. Download any version of CWM from here
2. Get desired rom
3. Place everything in Externel SDcard
4. Boot into stock recovery (Power+Home+Vol up)
5. Use stock recovery to flash CWM
6. Backup Current stock rom
7. Wipe the usual
8. Flash Custom rom (Or just kernel)
9. Reboot
10. ?? Profit ??
Now you got Custom rom or Kernel + Full stock rom backup (can always get stock rom from sammobile if you lose it)
Okay so i update the firmware wooo.
Wouldn't i need to root the phone to install cyanogenmod ?
Hello, I've been trying to flash the Australia JB rom,
SPYDERIRD_U.01.6.7.3-94_SPI-328_04.11.01P_0A.74_AUSTRALIA_NZ_CFC_HWp2b_SIGNED.xml.zip,
onto my Asia razr running on ICS.
I want to leave my current ICS as system 1 and flash the Au rom onto system 2, but I keep getting this error.
Finding update package..
Opening update package..
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
Here is what I did:
1.download 4.1.2 kernel and ROM zip file
2.Boot to BMM recovery
3.backup CID and Kernel
4.Flash 4.1.2 kernel , wipe cache
5."install a zip package"
then installation aborted.
Is is not possible to flash stock ROMs onto system2, but only custom ROMs?
If the only way to flash AU rom is onto system1, how would I be able to backup and restore my current ICS? ( Can I even go back to ICS after flashing JB?)
What am I doing wrong here?
Thank you all :good::good:

1. YOU CANNOT FLASH A OFFICIAL STOCK ROM ONTO SLOTS USING BMM OR ANY RECOVERY - You need to flash in AP fastboot using Flash-it or RSD lite.
2. When you have ICS in stock , you are telling its Asian - try to flash only EU JB roms - here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192532 ( Remeber you need to flash EU ICS ROM before updating the OTA as you are in en.Asia- follow the instructions )
3. Since JB is a update over ICS , you cannot go back to ICS as there is no firmware file for this JB ( remember this is an update)

Hi SAJdroid
I ended up flashing a modified JB rom onto system 2 with BMM because I might need to go back to ICS if JB is buggy.
Thank you for answering my questions.:good:

Golden Rule for first time flashers :
1. Backup your system - Nandroid backup
2. Download the fastboot files and keep it ready in your PC with RSD lite - When you brick your phone you dont have much time to flash your system as the battery charging may not work. link : http://sbf.droid-developers.org/ * you will never know how much battery you will be left with if you accidentally brick your phone*
3. If you are afraid you might screw up while flashing a ROM , use Safe Strap instead of BMM ( uninstal BMM before you proceed) - here no matter what you do your stock ICS will be safe ans you wont be able to flash anything over your stock slot . - Most of the ROM's are supported by Safe Strap.
I have bricked my phone so many times but still enjoy flashing - so dont be afraid to try those awesome ROM's and tweaks to feel the real power of your Razr.
I am looking for the stock rom the phone comes with so i can flash back. i failed to make a backup prior to flashing cm10.1 Also, do i need gapps with that?
Hi Guys,
I need some help guiding me through the Lollipop rom install on my GT-I9300T
So the phone has been rooted already using Odin and was successful.
I have then downloaded the rom and google apps and super su, but at the time of update it is coming up with
E: failed to verify whole- file signature.
ok so this is where I need someone to tell me exactly the rom I need,and any kernel update or whatnot I need to get a lollipop rom onto my phone.
phone also has current firmware update from kies
Android version 4.3
Thank you for reading and hope someone can shed some light
@paulyhg: if you say 'update', you're probably in stock-recovery, which is unable to flash a custom-ROM. Flash 1st TWRP-recovery with Odin.
or fllash cwm via odin http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2052830&d=1371584952
Guys iam unrooted my one plus x for getting official ota updates , but after unrooting iam getting ota notification and click on install , but in process of update in recovry mode it says failed and reboot , pls pls help me how to solve this problem and get back to official opx device
1. Download OnePlusOxygen_14_OTA_008_all_201601221550.zip .
2. Just flash it.
3. You'll be on OxygenOS 2.2.0 without any other files to flash. Don't wipe data and cache to retain your apps and data.
The right answer is : you won't have Over The Air. You have to flash it manually as @StraightEdgeKid just said.
You should flash the next updates the same too.
After installing full 2.2.0 ROM, he'll be unrooted completely, and if he has stock recovery, he can install OTA's afterwards, unless he remains on stock.
Yeah but it always depends on the way he rooted the phone. The OneCmlickRoot solution have to be bannished on OPX!
Ofcourse not, if he flashes full 2.2.0 ROM, everything from system will be overwritten, leaving no place for previous stuff in system. /system will be cleaned completely.
Thanks for this. Downloaded the file, flashed through stock "recovery", and voila.
Flash the full ota and after that check you are on stock recovery or custom recovery(twrp) if its custom then flash stock recovery and you will be able to get otas
