Hi guys,
at first, i'd like to say I am from Brazil, and my english is not so good.
Well, i've been thinking about give my Galaxy SII to my father, so i will buy a new phone, and this phone will be the Razr HD. I have some questions (i'd be grateful if someone could help me):
1- How can i install a new clean and oficial ROM 4.0.4 (for brazilian, PT-BR) ? The simplest and safe mode, please :laugh:
2- Is it dangerous to do ?
3- Does Razr HD have a good perfomance on games ?
Sorry if i made some mistakes, i hope that someone can help my way
Thanks,
Arthur Garcia.

I believe it comes stock with 4.0.4
So far I do not believe that there is any roms out. You will have to check the development section. Since most Razrs here in US have locked bootloader it will take some time before there is any other roms available.

Thanks man. I have been reading about this phone, and I haven't decided yey between S3 or Razr HD.
Many people complain about the Razr HD's camera, so i am confused. However, Razr HD is extramally beautifull, perfect design... It has a good perfomance too.
So confused =D

I had the same doubt. I've read about both, and about the Exynos chipset (S3 international).
I found some negative points on S3:
- The Exynos chipset it's not so good for development as the MSM8960 (razr hd).
- The S3 don't have fastboot.
- S3 don't have LTE (international version)
S3 Positive points:
- S3 is quad-core (international)
This is the opinion from a CyanogenMod developer. You should not take everything he is saying as truth, but many things I personally agree:

RAZR HD is almost bullet proof and water resistant.

I don't use camera on the phone, but I liked the RAZR camera in my tests. The burst mode is cool. The photos are excellent with HDR.
I found this:
http://www.gadgetguy.com.au/product.../motorola-razr-hd-4g-review-27-camera-sample/
The phone easily reaches 24 hours of battery life, without any charge.

Hey there, friend. Do you think the possibility of a Official Cyanogen for XT925 is high?
Thinking about buying one, but since its expensive, I would like it to last for a longe time.
There is already a CM10 in development for the Developer Edition. Alpha is flashable now... so I would assume they could get it working on all the other versions as well, eventually.
Thats very good news. Thanks for the reply.
Hope you are right and the devs port CM to the xt925 as well.
Do you have a Xt925? What can you say about it? Nice and fast?
Probably will be even better with JB.
I have a XT926 Developer. It is very smooth and fast as is. There are a few minor hiccups from time to time but I'd put most of that on ICS.. With the JB leak and the official OTA due out before January, I'd imagine it could only get better...
Thats nice. I bet its ICS fault, lol.
I keep thinking about something. Google once said that Android phones from some companies would be updated for 18 months.
Now that google owns Motorola mobility, how hard would it be for them to follow this plan?
Hope we will see 4.2 at least.

I wouldn't rule out 4.2... but with VZWs history it will probably be a while.

I see.
But the VZW history will probably affect just the XT928, right?
Maybe 4.2 will reach unlocked XT926 and XT925 first, if updated.

Not XT928. Locked Razr HD is what I meant.
Yea VZW is the only one with locked BL... the unlocked XT926 is also on VZW so it would get the updates whenever the normal one does. All the XT925's will get updates whenever your carrier releases them... who knows. With Google taking a more active role with Motorola maybe it will be quick for everyone.

hi as the title says i was just wondering if someone is or plans to work on a crack for the verizon version of the razr hd... i plan on getting one tomorrow but it would seem the developer version is only available without a plan and i just started one. if theres any alternative let me know please and thank you
If you can afford it just buy the Dev. You can just switch it over to your current plan.
Sent from my JB'd X2
yea thats exactly it i can't afford it =( o well thanks though
Other than that then Verizon has no plans to let their normal HD be unlocked. Maybe the devs can come up with something?
Sent from my JB'd X2
can it be cracked? Definitely, just look at the Galaxy S3. But will enough developers get on the Razr HD to make it happen? That idk. I don't remember the first Razr getting cracked but rather kexec releases which still brings custom roms. I think that is a great possibility

Samsung bootloaders vs Motorola's big difference... kexec still doesn't fully work on the old RAZR
And they are coming out with more and more snooping software
Its not looking good for a unlocked boot loader on Verizon... sucks cause I'm in that boat...and I hated that with the RAZR
We need some killer devs bottom line

The phone just came to market about a week and a half ago, and isn't cheap. Patience is a virtue I'm sure it will happen, this phone is mad ridiculous. Haven't even rooted it yet and loving everything about it.
I'm sorry if this has been posted somewhere else on this forum, but I couldn't find it anywhere.
djrbliss has supposedly found an exploit to unlock the bootloader on most current Motorola phones, including possibly the XT926 as some people in the thread have claimed. Here's the link to the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32888705#post32888705
Can anyone else back up this information? I'd have thought this would have made a bigger deal here, since the biggest downside of my RAZR MAXX HD, in my opinion, is the locked bootloader.
Does the motofail2go unlock the bootloader, or just root the phone? I was under the impression that the two were completely different beasts...
Yea I was under the impression that is the root exploit. He mentioned unlocked bootloader because you don't need an exploit to root those.

Ah, I see. I saw it linked from another article somewhere saying that it was a bootloader unlock. I guess I didn't pay enough attention to the thread itself after i saw the words unlocked bootloader in the OP. Sorry about that.
bootloader unlock
Recently went out and picked up a moto razr maxx hd only to find that moto is no allowing US models to be unlocked through their site. I went through all of the steps to get the device id: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b only to find out I cant unlock because my phone was purchased in the US:
HOW DO I TELL IF MY DEVICE HAS AN UNLOCKABLE/RE-LOCKABLE BOOTLOADER?
This depends on a few factors. First is whether the device ships with a bootloader that is capable of being unlocked or re-locked. Second is whether the wireless carrier that sells the device allows the bootloader to be unlocked, as each of our operator partners has their own policy. As new devices are released, please check the bootloader introduction page. You will be able to check whether your device shipped with an unlockable bootloader. We will be adding devices to this list regularly.
As of August 2012, the only Motorola devices which can be unlocked are:
Photon Q 4G LTE (Sprint)
RAZR Developer Edition (Europe Only)
XOOM
https://motorola-global-portal.cust...ICE_HAS_AN_UNLOCKABLE/RE-LOCKABLE_BOOTLOADER?
Heres to hoping things get sorted, I'll gladly donate to whomever can do it effectively...
What's up guys.
Sorry if this question was already done, but I could not find it in a first moment,
I saw some people saying that they tried to connect the razr HD in the Lapdock 100 and it was not only compatible, but pretty smoothier than Razr XT910.
http://www.razrforums.com/forum/droid-razr-hd-general-discussion/2799-lapdocks-work.html
Does anybody knows if it is true? :fingers-crossed:
I will probably buy one next week and it would be terrific if I don't have to spend more money in a notebook, wich is something that I need for college.
Also, to have an android notebook with Jelly Bean in HD definition... would be AWESOME.
Please, share your experiences.
it does but it's better on ICS (I've been told, mine came with JB sadly).
saw a thread on the Moto X forum on how to flash back to stock using RSD Lite (link - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2446515&page=3&nocache=1 ). The example was done using the Verizon version. I was wondering if it would be possible to flash it to the Ultra / MAXX after making a few mods. It would be like tricking it into running a custom rom. I have the MAXX. There are a few hardware differences to be considered as well as the model name and such in the build.prop .
wireless charging - MAXX only.
hardware navigation keys - i don't care for them. this is actually my main motivation to do this.
screen size - although they are the same resolution the on screen nav buttons may play a part in this.
battery size - don't know if there is any config needed.
some others i may be missing.
possibly use the kernel side stuff from the Ultra / MAXX firmware and the ROM side stuff for the OS to solve most of these.
ill download them both and do a file compare. there should be little difference.
I am a SysAdmin / Linux Nerd and have been flashing and hacking since the HTC Evo but have little experience modding ROMs. I will most likely be set on fire for this idea.
If u have a unlocked DE Maxx, u can try flashing the Moto X ROMs through CWM(ie after having a nandroid backup)! I tried the 4.3 eng ROM on Moto X forums and it works right outa the box without any modifications!! :good:
interesting...soo now all we have to hope for is for the bootloader to be unlocked on the regular Maxx/Ultra...and we can flash 4.3! LOL sooo excited
To my understanding the phone he flashed was a Verizon Moto X and not an unlocked one.

I have the Moto X and would like to know how the Maxx compares to it. I've notice the big differences were the screen, battery and wireless charging other than that it appears to be the same device. Can anyone tell me more? Thanks.

To clarify I flashed a DROID MAXX Developers Edition(unlocked of course) using a custom recovery of the Moto X, if u were talking about flashing stock firmwares using RSD Lite then sorry for misguiding u...

Some of the bloatware is different. The Maxx has capacitive control buttons, the X has onscreen buttons. The X comes with 2 years of some big amount of Google Drive storage, the Maxx comes with 6 months free Google Music All Access instead. (Maybe the X has All Access too?) The X has NFC unlocking in addition to trusted Bluetooth, while the Maxx does not.
Otherwise, they're the same.
Is there any way to distinguish between refurbished /Fake Motorola and Original one....?
As my friend previously got Motorola xt912 and he got his phone dead in no time, so, I'm scared about it. On the other hand Motorola is in the affordable price so, I'm willing to get Motorola Droid Razr M xt907 (Verizon). Now I just rely on XDA's members.
I think it'd be chipset which differs in both phones (fake and original). QCOMM would be of the original one and MediaTek would be of the fake/china one. I don't know what exactly it is but just briefly explain me about it. Thanks in advance
Sorry For bad English if it is!
