[Q] Razr HD - Customizations from Operators.

Hello Guys...
first of all, excuse me for my poor english... sometimes I don't know the exactly word I need.
Anyway... I'm from Brazil, and the Razr HD just arrived here. My problem is the following: I bought one... but it has customizations from the cell phone operators (Like Verizon and other, in my case is from Claro, yes the mexican one).
I want to eliminate these customization, and I think that the best way to do this is root the phone, unlock the boot loader and load a stock rom, insn't it?
but that's my problem. I can't find the stock razr hd's rom in any place... Recently i found the Xoom2 stock room, so I imagine that's there already a Razr HD rom somewhere to download.
If anyone could help... I'll be grateful!!
Thanks a lot and happy 2013!!!
P.S. I don't think "Stock Rom" is what I need... reading more I found that stock Rom is the pure android... what I need is the room without any customization, the oficial motorola released rom... did you understand what I mean?
Thks again!

Please post questions in the Q&A thread. As for terminology, "stock rom" means how the phone is when it's first turned on. All the different cel service providers specify provider specific apps to be added to the rom. Motorola doesn't release an unbranded rom. Also, the radio is set specifically to a region for LTE access (not all radios are on all the time, as that would drain battery like crazy).
Best way to get what you're looking for... Check the "debloat" threads in Q&A and look for which apps can be frozen safely. You will have to root and install an app like root uninstaller to do so.

Thanks a lot for your answer... I think that i was locking for a Retail rom... my ideia is to install a razr hd rom that is "clean" without any customization...
i found this site... but I'm not quite sure if is this what I need... my idea is to download the Retail Brazilian, root the phone... use the RSD Lite to put it on the phone... then do the normal procedure... will it work?
thanks a lot!

I too got a XT925 from Claro and did exactly what you described. It worked perfectly.
1) Rooted the phone
2) Downloaded retail ROM from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943879
3) Used RSD Lite 6.0 to install the ROM
You can also freeze the unwanted apps (iJogos, iJogos HD...) , but I think you can only remove the Claro logo during boot by flashing a retail rom.
Best of luck!

Actually, in Brazil you can buy unbranded, retail phones. I think this is different in the USA and Europe, where phones are only sold through operators.

HTC One S updates

So recently i bought an HTC One S with an S3 processor which its country is of Asia. I am currently at europe. I still am on Android 4.0.3 and there doesnt seem to be an update for my phone. Now i know that 4.0.4 and also JB are rolling out, but not for my device. Is there anything I can do to solve this ?
Thanks :laugh:

I live in a country where HTC sell the S3 processor only. I had my cousin sent me HOS from US, big difference.
You might want to trade for an S4 though.
In the meantime you can search the development forum and look for an S3 ROM.
Not many but there are some.

HOS stands for Htc One S and a Rom is basically an operating system for your device that is nothing like stock, has tweaks here and there things that stock doesnt, and if you root you will.still be able to receive updates but you have to relock the phone and some other things I can't remember then you can apply the update, basically you can't apply update to a rooted phone its just gonna give you and installation error then reboot your phone I think but that's basically it for your questions, hopefully it was helpful to you

Thanks for the information !
A friend told me that if i root the phone i can change my firmware from Asia to Europe where i live so that i can recieve updates accordingly to my phone. Is this true ?
Also is there a detailed noob instructions for me to follow and learn more about rooting the phone and installing customs ROMS etc. ?
Thanks

If you root, you can manually install all sorts of fun stuff. I think if you want to remain as close to stock and receive "official" updates, super cid is something you might wanna read about. There's a thread in the Dev Section by Torxx that I used to root my S4 you might wanna look over and see if that's for you. Make sure everything you decide to do is compatible with your S3 first though.
Edit: there's also another guide in the general section

as motorola is not providing any more update for atrix 2(at least in india) ,now i am in very much need for bootloader unlocker
plz help plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

There's no bootloader unlock for no one.
Why do you want to unlock your bootloader if there's no room that requires other kernel?

^+1. And there is no need for the bootloader to be unlocked to flash the roms in our dev section.! Just follow the instructions there!

(if u google "ics or bootloader unlock on atrix 2" then its 3rd option)
"Question Title:
ICS Update or Unlock Bootloader
Comment:
I have brought Brand new Motorola Atrix 2 (Indian Version and not US AT&T model) last month hoping it will be getting ICS update, but now my Skyrocket got updated to ics and Updated my SGS I9000 to JellyBean using CM10. Being such a capable device Atrix 2 is still running on 2.3.6 (Out of Box), which is also having network connectivity issue here in India. I now feel it was a mistake buying a Motorola Atrix2 and could have bought Sony Xperia P which is in same price bracket which is getting update much faster.
If Motorola can`t update Atrix2 to stable ICS, i would like them to unlock bootloader for same as there are many developers around who can create custom ROMS (ICS or even JB) much stable & faster than Motorola team.
To make matter worse yesterday news came out that Motorola are shutting down operations in Asia Pacific. I do hope they can provide us with either a stable ICS update or Unlock the bootloader.
"
so plz reply is it now nessecary to unlock bootloader for custom rom or cm10, as i like xda dev work becoz of
a-no company app
b-overclock Facility
Q2-secondly will i b able overclock in custom rom or cm10 (as my boot loader will b locked, will it let me over clock in cm10 or custum rom)
Q3-there r kernel avalible for over clocking but when i zip instal them by CMW they show no effect(may b becoz of bootloader not been unlocked)
so plz help me overclock becoz this device with overclock is an gr8 device
so plz helpppppppppppppppp

sry i wasnt geting to reply u both dev at same time

First, forget about unlocking the bootloader. We don't need to unlock it to install the roms that we have in the developers sections.
Secondly, we have stable ics, and now, finally, we have a stable Jellybean for international phones.
But, i'm going to respond your questions in order.
1: The info that are you reading, is ooooold. If you want stable ICS, check this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934874
Those are for international Atrix 2. It means, that ones they were not bought in AT&T.
And, if you have international atrix 2, you can choose jellybean, too
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2092107
2: Yes, you have to flash 2 .zip's files into the custom recovery.
I don't know too much about that. But, if you read a little, you'll see that is easy.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1988411
3: There is no kernel available for overclocking besides the one we are using.
If you are trying to say the .zip's that you have to flash with Cwm, read the answer 2.

^^+1 what he said, but I would like to add, do yourself a huge favor and read EVERYTHING that pertains to your phones model BEFORE trying anything. Then read it all again. Then when you think you understand, read it again. You will see that most all of your questions have been previously answered, and you will gain knowledge in the process. It's a win/win for everybody that has the patience and puts in the effort to learn on their own. Good luck to ya.:thumbup:

[Q] Custom Rom Installation on Spanish Motorola XT910

Hi all, I am needing a little help here, I was given a Motorola XT910 (RAZR) handset and unfortunately its a Spanish model and I found out that there was no updates beyond 4.0.4. The system version is 672.180.41.XT910.YOIGO.en.ES I am therefore trying to find a good custom rom to be able to flash on this model of phone. Could someone point out a good rom to flash with and instructions on how to do this as my phone flash knowledge is a little outdated. Thank you.

To gain root, first we need a custom recovery.
I have been trying to contact people on here that seem capable of making a custom recovery for this device, but so far no luck.
I have also been watching the Chinese forums for this device as well, but nobody there has a custom recovery yet either.
It will happen in time.. we had the same process last year with the M7 dual sim version. in the end we even had Enlish Roms flashed onto the devices... Im sure the same will happen here eventually.

Hi, when you get English roms flashed on to the unit, does it mean you get OTA updates for that rom too?

Do you mean when you flash a custom rom, can you then get OTA updates from HTC? The short answer to that is no, you cannot receive official updates for a custom ROM.
If you mean that you wan't original ROM in English, then the original Chinese ROM does have English language, and with that you can of cause receive OTA updates. I think all original HTC phones have English language.
