[Q] Razr HD - Customizations from Operators. - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] Help with updating & rooting wifi only xoom

Hi everyone, I bought a xoom wifi only 3.0.1 (Build H.6.2-24 for Retail Other International -- & Model number MZ604), & I'm familiar with all the rooting stuffs & all the things since I got a motorola milestone.
I want to update my xoom to 3.1 & root it, first I have a question about the update for 3.1 toalso use the SD, is it the official update?(cause I saw many threads & now I'm really confused if it's official or developers did the great job...
second: I've read many places that first I have to unlock, then root it...something like this, is the bootloader locked like motorola milestone?
& at last I really appreciate in advance if someone can help me or give me a link in XDA, so I can simply follow the steps & do what I need to do, I've read all the threads & now I'm soo confused because many of them wrote that the steps they did MAY harm UK wifi only xoom, are those threads including my wifi only xoom to not to do?
OK, follow this guide to unlock, flash the US images, update to 3.1, root and install the Tiamat kernel. This will give you everything you want including SD access.

Reminder: DO NOT RELOCK. Ignore the relock command on the Moto website.

Firmware is different between US and Europe. If you try to relock, you will brick your Xoom.

[Q] Can install cooked ROMs or any of the leaked (from India or China) on Atrix AT&T?

[Q] Can install cooked ROMs or any of the leaked (from India or China) on Atrix AT&T?
Hey guys, first of all I must say that is not English, I speak Spanish so if I say something wrong I hope to understand.
I turn to you for that, I buy a Refurbished Atrix 2 Released to Amazon, is AT & T My question is: I can install cooked ROMs or any of the leaked (from India or China)? I would like to tell me if I can do and if there is a tutorial to install.
Thank you for your attention!

you can't install the leaks.
There are multiple roms you can install in the development section.
read the noob guide that is sticky for some basic info, then the rom threads for installation instructions

You can install and run custom roms, but there's some things you need to read and understand beforehand. Please read THIS THREAD and you will see that there are several things you must first do, in order to be running custom roms on your device. First, you will need to make sure you are running on Android 2.3.6. for many of the roms in the ATRIX 2 Android Development section, then you will need to attain root, install the custom CWM (Clockworkmod) Recovery, then you will be able to flash whichever rom you so choose.
However, you need to understand that there are international firmware differences relating to the different ATRIX 2 models and their specific regional firmware(s), and roms that are based off these international firmwares may not work on your device! You need to know which device you have, and for which device the rom you are wanting to install is specified to run on. You may brick your phone if you try to install a rom that ins't designed to run on your device! (You have been warned) The leaked ICS updates will NOT work on an ATT.en.US system version!
Well, I do not think I will risk that many steps and I am a newbie.
But still thank you very much for clearing the doubt! Waiting For the ICS official.

It's really not all that difficult. You just have to have a clear understanding of what you are doing -BEFORE doing anything! It's useful knowledge, especially if you are interested in customizing your device beyond what Motorubbish has in its stock rom...
I like your clarity mate, at least you dont wanna mess with your device until you learn. Appreciate that

And if I install the ROM and I want to return time after the original ROM from AT & T?
I can do?

Yes, after rooting, installing the custom recovery (CWM), and flashing a rom, you can always FXZ back to stock 2.3.5. and the OTA (over-the-air) update to 2.3.6. which will return your device to the fully stock Moto rom.

[Q] Root for Moto Razr V XT885

Hi all. I don't want to come off as a total noob, but I'm sorry if I do. I have a Motorola Razr V XT885 with Bell Mobility in Canada. I've searched the web for a way of rooting and unlocking the bootloader on my device and have found little to no help. I know this isn't a popular phone as it's only available in Canada and some parts of Asia, but is there a way to root and unlock the bootloader? From the sounds of things there isn't a Jellybean update coming any time soon and I would really like to flash a custom rom on this thing. Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

I figured out how to get custom recovery, you download Boot Menu Manager from the market it works perfect, I managed to boot up a XT910 ROM on it but lots of bugs as its not for our phone, just need a smart person to make us up a ROM
Worked for my XT885. Thanks

Flashing rom question about MOTO RAZR MAXX XT910

My device is a HK version of XT910 and has flashed the device for the euro 4.1 rom.
Unfortunately it cannot search any 2g/3g signal and thus i wanna flash back the HK4.0 rom to repair the phone.
I heard it is not possible to do so as the bootloader has been upgraded which cannot be downgraded afterwards.
I know XDAs are one of the best developers for smartphone, so wanna find some support here.
Deep thanks if guidance can be provided for my case

Questions about stock rom

Let me first say hello I am new to this forum. I am new to rooting/flashing when it comes to androids. I have a Verizon Motorola Droid Razr HD XT926 which I am trying to fix for a friend. It is stuck on the red eye and will not boot. I understand I will need to re-flash the software, and I understand the steps I need to take to re-flash using RSD lite. My problem is I cannot find a download for the stock rom, nor am I 100% sure which one I need. My friend has no interest in rooting, so I just need it back to stock. I do not know what software version is currently on the phone. Is there a way to find out with the phone not booting? Or does this even matter? Can I just flash the latest official version? And that is my main problem, which version to use, and where to find the download for it. I have searched around for some time and cannot find a definite answer on this. Thanks alot, any help with this would be amazing!
Your best bet is to just flash the latest one. You can get it from here: http://www.drdevs.com/devs/FXZ-files/XT926 (Droid RAZR HD)/ . The last one on the list is the latest.
