[Q] Trouble Rooting - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
i decided to root my phone, the other day i had trouble going from JB to ICS but someone managed to help me with that and successfully got it to ICS. But now my problem is the constant message for OTA. and from what i read only way to get rid of that is ROOT. Now im doing the same process as if i were to install ICS except Now rooting.
I am in debug mode, AP FastBoot. i have ALL SDK bundle installed. My PC does recognize my Droid razr HD XT926 and is currently uptodate with the motorola 5.9.0 but when i run Razr HD utility i keep getting stuck at "Waiting for devices". I mean The utility worked fine going back to ICS but now im stuck again at waiting for device.
at this point im lost and i don't know what to do next.
My Phone:
-Droid Razr HD XT926 Consumer Edition
-Android Version: ICS 4.0.4
-System Version: 0.6.25.X926.en.US
-Baseband version: VANQUISH_BP_1045.711.53.20P

I cant think of why your phone isn't being read by the computer. As a last case scenario, why don't you back up all your info and apps and rsd lite back to 4.1.1 before re running matts utility and see if it works then. Why are you staying at Ics though? JB is pretty stable at stock.

[Q] Going from rooted 3.1 to 3.2 on my 3G

I have a US 3G Xoom that is rooted on 3.1 and running a custom kernel.
What would the quickest and easiest way to get 3.2 right now? Root or not doesn't matter I'll root it later if needed. I got the OTA but it wont work with a rooted 3.1 and custom kernel so I didn't even try.
Thanks!
Oh in case anyone see's this and wants a quick easy way I've done the entire process in about 10 minutes.
Went to MotoDEV and got the official stock image for Android 3.0.1 and did fastboot flash and wiped my Xoom then relocked with fastboot oem lock
Then I took OTA to 3.2 and I'm good to go and have since reunlocked and rooted

[Q] Help installing OrDroid 2.1.1

I need help installing the OrDroid 2.1.1 OS released yesterday, I'm running on HTC sensation 4g, previously installed HD revolution OS on my phone in the past. I followed the installation instructions changning nothing and when I boot up my phone it only gets to the bootanimation before reseting and starting over. Does anyone know how to fix that?
You need to have Firmware 3.32 installed and you can find a guide here.
So I stupidly upgraded my firmwire without taking proper precautions, my HD revolution OS is stuck on a boot loop, I can run recovery mode just fine and every option on Hboot, but I'm curious if you would know how to fix that x_x.
I'm currently working on it right now
update: got it working perfectly thank you

My stock 4.0.3 Xoom got update but didn't update

I am new to Xoom but not to Android. My new Xoom came shipped with ICS 4.0.3(IML77), told me there was an update and rebooted afterward, but the About Tablet page in settings still says 4.0.3 IML77 and NOT 4.0.4 IMM76. Now there is no update available. Is this common. I am tempted to just root it and put on EOS, but I thought I'd give it a few days on stock first.....
Always something different.....
Having same issue on stock unrooted US Xoom Wifi. Loaded w/ 4.0.3 from factory, 4.0.4 update downloads and ends up in green bot w/ red ! during install, then eventually reboots to 4.0.3. After that upadate is no longer found??

[Q] Looking for help fixing my mobile data and finding a ROM for my phone version

*What ROM should I get for my phone and will it solve my issue for data? and what am I doing wrong to install roms?*
About two weeks ago I finally got around to rooting my Android Razr Maxx so that I might speed it up since it had been laggy. I was able to root my device with no issues and overclock it to solve this problem. I began to expand to other things rooting would allow me to do and attempted to use a mobile data tweak-er to get a speed increase. At first it seemed to work great until at one point about a week later I restarted my phone and couldn't access my mobile data, I could only get WiFi and the 4G bar is always there with signal but remains grayed out. I started looking around for info and eventually asked two friends of mine who both noticed I had no VPNs listed in my phone and said that was why,I don't know how this could of occurred but both told me I could fix it by getting a new custom Rom if I didn't want to do a factory rest. If this is true I would appreciate it if someone could help me find a ROM that works for my phone. I'm currently using the Motorola Droid Razr Maxx. stock version 4.1.2 system version 98.72.165.XT912 I have Safestrap 3.11 installed already and followed numerous videos trying to get a new ROM to work, so far I have tried Wizzed Bean Jelly Wiz and Eclipse but all 3 give me a boot loop when I try to get them working and I always have to revert back to to my stock Rom after my attempts. I'm guessing there was an incompatibility I wasn't aware of in all 3 cases.
Any help with any of this would be most appreciated and I apologize ahead of time as I may be ignorant to some things involving this question

[Q] FIDO Razr HD LTE problem?!?!?!?

I'm really new to android and i thought i was smart enough to install cyanagen mod but i messed upppppp
what i used to do everything was the droid razr hd utility i did everything correctly except rembering to make backup of my phone
so i searched the web nd found that i could still save my phone by using the droid utility to it back to stock android, i thought this would put my phone to factory but i was wrong instead it turned my phone from the xt925 to the xt926 and changed from fido to verizon. Now, when I boot the phone, I still get the message 'Bootloader is unlocked'. I saw a large number of Verizon specific apps. When booting the phone, instead of the Motorolla 'M' icon/splash, I get a 'Droid' icon, with sound-effects. Also, System Version shows as 9.16.XT926.Verizone.en.US (even though my phone is an XT925 on FIDO)
i know im supposed to flash a jb file and i found it i just dont understand how to delete the gevlar lines and i dont know what lined are can someone tell me
also i have no idea how to flash anything thats why i used the droid utility pleassse some one help me get back to the canada version pleeeasee thanks a lot
i also attached the a picture of the xml file in the jb file can someone show me what to delete and waht to do after
Same issue here, I feel like an idiot for flashing an XT926 rom on. Now when I flash CM11, Liquid Smooth, or any other rom my phone cannot connect to Fido.
If you find a solution please let me know, Thanks.

P.S. I ended up buying a new phone so I've been Googling and trying solutions for months. I found the stock roms here (sbf.droid-developers DOT org/phone.php?device=6) but they don't seem to solve the problem.
Fixed it!!!
Ok, so the root of the problem is that the Droid Utility while claiming to be designed for XT925 and XT926 it only flashes the XT926 factory recovery. That is where you and I both went wrong, we read the instructions and believed it would work on XT925.
Since this is a junk phone now that I bought a new one I decided to screw around. I downloaded the factory firmware from the link in my last post, most of the files are the same as in the XT926 folder in the Droid Utility folder (obviously the files the utility uses for recovery). I renamed, where necessary the files from the XT925 download and moved them all over to the Droid Utility XT926 folder. I left the .xml file in place. I then ran the factory recovery (option 1, then option 1 again). So, the utility thought it was flashing XT926 but in fact it was flashing 925 files. After that I booted up and it asked if I wanted to wipe and apply settings from the sim car, I did and it rebooted twice and now I can make calls and have a stock XT925 that works. It's still rooted but the recovery seems to have been wiped and it goes to the dead android (exclamation mark droid) when you select recovery. That should be easy to fix.
For anyone searching for the wifi issues that I also had, this seems to have fixed that. When the device first booted up the wifi button was still greyed out and you couldn't turn on wifi. Once it wiped the device and applied the settings from the sim card the wifi became active and I could connect. I can also connect to LTE.
As I said, this is a backup device for me now so if you want me to do any messing around or take pictures I'm happy to.
