Best place to get started? - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys! So I've had this phone for about a month, BIG Moto fan and loving it! But I find it lacks in one aspect... ROMs lol And I was thinking why not make my own... Sadly I have no idea where to go to get started, I've found a few posts on XDA but I'm not quite sure they would work on the Razr HD (XT925)
Would be awesome if anyone can point me in the right direction

Here's a place to start...

Quick intro/Questions

Hi guys, New guy here, I recently got into the Android world. I am a theme creator from the other side (iphone of course) and am trying to broaden my horizons. Just have two quick questions for ya.
1. Are there any plans being made for adding the Kyocera Zio to the device list so they will have their own sub forum?
2. Has any one figured out how to put the Zio into recovery mode?
I have yet to figure this out, any help is appreciated. I really want to get started creating some themes for the android platform but this is proving impossible w/o being able to get to recovery mode.
Seriously, no one even said hello or had a go at either of the questions. This is truly disappointing to me, I was hoping this was a helpful community but now I am starting to think otherwise.
Hey Fate, welcome to the forums. That phone looks pretty sweet. Over seas phone? I can not even find what Android version comes on it.

It is a phone offered in the States been out for nearly 2 months now, it is through Cricket, I must say it is the first one of there phones I am 100% pleased with. It comes with Android 1.6 on it but there is supposed to be a late 4th quarter update to 2.0 or better. Any who like I said any help is much appreciated
Interesting phone but does not seem llike many ppl have it hence the silence

Goodbye A2 Community....

Hey everyone,
Tonight I used my phone upgrade and upgraded to the Atrix HD. It's been nice knowing all of you guys here in the forums, and I'm certainly going to miss you. (the ones I like anyway.... :laugh: )
Big thanks to the developers in this community for putting in so much hard work for this phone. You have been wonderful to all of us. :good:
Cheers mate, best of luck to you!

Gutsy is how I roll. Plus the Atrix HD really competes with the high end devices since it has the same Snapdragon S4 as the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the HTC One X. Ran a Quadrant benchmark test and pulled a 4,750 without any real customizations yet. Also, this display...truly gorgeous, one to behold!

Really? Was that needed?
I'ts a classic "pun". I don't think it needs to be taken out of context.
So let's not start something, that isn't there to begin with

While you're still in return time look at the Sony Xperia Ion. Screen and camera makes Note, OneX etc look like a joke!

I'll pretend that was just a joke.
In all seriousness though, I have nothing against anyone and am more than happy to still help you guys out here with any questions/problems you might have. Feel free to shoot me a PM whenever.
You're leaving us just as I have updated the OP of my guide thread for n00bs! I was going to include you in the directory of Senior Members for the A2 forums, but now you're boating on us...
Anyhow, good luck with the new phone, I hope everything works out for you, and that you really enjoy it!

Apex,
You're more than welcome to add my name to the list anyway in case anyone has questions/problems. I may not have the phone anymore, but I would still be more than happy to help out in any way that I can.

Okay, I'll put you on the directory. I may have to "tiny url" up some links, as I'm pushing the 30,000 character limit on this one!
Torn between hijacking a thread and cluttering up the main page with a new one - chose the hijack. I'm so sorry, MagicXB!
I also am leaving, after such a short time here! Speaking of the Xperia ion, that's the one I am going with. AT&T finally got tired of throwing A2's my way to fix my reception problems and gave me a free warranty upgrade. I chose the ion for a lot of reasons, and I think I'll be happy with it.
I got really into following the community here and have been excited to follow the projects that are ongoing. The dev community here is excellent, and I'm convinced good things will be around for this phone for awhile. Unfortunately, with AT&T getting rid of support for this phone, I feel like you'll see people like me dropping off - they won't have any more A2's to give out!
Thank you all for your help and time.

Going with the Xperia Ion seems to be quite risky to me. The hardware itself looks quite beautiful but it launched with Gingerbread onboard, and in this day and age of countless phones coming out I would be worried about it even seeing ICS (much less anything after that).
To be honest, I obsessed over this decision for awhile. The One X was my main competitor, but I don't like not having expandable storage, and I've had really bad experiences with HTC phones before. The Atrix HD is pretty, but it just didn't feel right to me. And the Galaxy S3 looks like a cheap piece of plastic from my childhood and I hate the Samsung UI (not to mention the off chance that Apple manages to run Samsung into the ground).
ICS is great, but it's not everything. Sony has been really good about updating older phones to ICS and I have no doubt this one will get it soon enough. And if it doesn't, the Sony UI incorporates some of the more important elements of ICS already. I think it's a really nice phone, well made and I'm hoping I'll enjoy it. That said, I'm sure there are more than enough people here who think I'm insane, lol .

[Q] Help please!! =S

Hello. I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place, but I was unsure of where to put this. I actually have a Motorola XT860 that I just bought off of someone. They didn't tell me it has this Cyanogenmod 9 on it, & I don't like it, I just want the phone to have whatever OS it normally would on it. I don't know the first thing about this stuff & I'm a little upset that I didn't look at the phone more before I got it, but that's my own fault. Can anyone give me some guidance here? I haven't been able to find anything helpful by Googling it, everything I can find is for other devices. Please advise.
You are in the wrong forum. This is for the Razr HD. Maybe u were looking for the forums for the original Razr?

Find a local cell phone shop in your town. Most of them advertise unlocking and jailbreaking phones. Bet one of the guys there could help. Web based support for the unrooting of a Moto phone is a risky proposition given your apparent newness to this arena.
... Or call the guy back you bought it off of and give him a $20 to do it.

Currently there is no AT&T build of Jellybean available. However, the AT&T One X and the international One XL are the same phone, so you can use those ROMs.
One XL = AT&T One X. Same hardware, same ROMs. As long as its a ROM for the dual core Snapdragon version of the One X/XL (not the quad core Tegra3 version), you can flash it.
As indicated in Turge's thread/survey in the link above, over 60% of the users here are AT&T users. So many/most of the ROMs will at least have AT&T in mind.

I would advise sticking to XDA, and this section of the forum (AT&T One X) specifically. Other websites are not well organized, refer to the Tegra3 One X more often than ours, and can get you in a lot of trouble (as flashing a ROM for the Tegra3 version may brick your device). Stick to this forum, and you'll be safe.
This is really the place to be, after all.

I have found many roms for the xl that is what i found if i had known that the xl and x att variant are the same. I wouldnt of posted at all that is the problem with making 5 variants of the same phone. I had been with ios since the 3g up until the 4s i traded it in for a skyrocket. I tried as many roms as I could with it until, while flashing i had the back off from pulling the battery out to get into recovery and during the flash i dropped it and the battery came out. Lesson learned so instead of paying the 45 to jtag it i still have it as a paper weight but the htc is completely different. I have since installed the viperxl 3.1.0 its great i love modding my phone having something a little different from everyone else i doubt me getting a little butt hurt will stop me. Sorry for getting a little outraged. But after searching a couple of sites i got a little frustrated. And normally i stick to xda for my info and roms. it is by far the best

Just to reiterate, just stick to XDA and save yourself a headache. Most other websites just steal content from XDA, anyway. So you really aren't gaining anything by looking at random websites.
And I've even made a list of all the ROMs with links here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
