Guys really need some help.
Bought an unlocked Razr HD from the web, and ungraded via OTA from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2. Then I rooted using dan's method, ran the script, phone was rooted. Then i decided to install TWRP, same way, in fastboot mode, ran the cmd 'fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.5.0.0-recovery-vanquish.img' then rebooted, but what essentially happened after, i was never able to boot the phone in recovery and every single time i ended up with fastboot reason" flash failure.
Then i was able to recovery from falsh failure by running 'empty_radio.img', after rebooting, the phone started up normally, but stock recovery was still corrupt, every single time i used to get the 'red triangle dead andriod', so booted back into fastboot, performed a clean wipe with fastboot -w and booted back normally, and flash failure was gone, and i was was able to reboot the phone normally.
Then i decided to unlock the bootloader, was was successful using Dan's method; my goal was to install 4.2 from recovery. Then i installed DroidUtility and decided to perform an clean install wiping all data. The problem was at every step i got the FAILED (remote failure) line, soon after phone got stuck with fastboot reason: 'Sticky bit fastboot'.....every single time i reboot phone gets stuck in the initial screen ' WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED' and thats it....i can't do anything...stuck....screen stays on for 10mins, then reboots back to this screen and keeps on looping.
Please help guys!! i hope i haven't bricked the phone.

Seeing how the phone is now updated to latest ota try Matt's Utility for the Droid RAZR HD i used this to get my phone is working condition then i did some adb and fastboot commands using some files to get rid of the sticky bit fastboot.
Heres a link to the RAZR HD utility: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239425
Heres a link to get rid of the sticky bit fastboot menu (if you do end up getting this menu):http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2260105
Hope this helps and good luck bro.
P.S if you did brick your phone its not the end of the world. the epic devs of XDA figured out how to fix problems like this. I bricked my phone by installing beats audio app ( worst mistake ever) came here for help and next thing i know my phone up and running like a charm ^^
well i did try matt's droid utility, and that's what put me in this state in the first place, since my stock recovery was corrupt, i decided to just clean install JB from Matt, but all the steps failed, it said remote failure at every step....and that was it! fastboot reason: flash failure,if i hold +/- and power, the phones boots up and gets stuck on the first screen..in this case since the bootloader is unlocked, it gets stuck on the WARNING message.
Also did try to fastboot with these commands:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
same, gets stuck on WARNING screen after reboot.

Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2241788 from what i heard it works both on xt925 and xt926
oh wow....it did work. But now the problem is not sure if it locked the phone or not, but it's not recognizing my SIM. it said stock rom for both xt925/926. it seems that this is a verizom ROM, and on the device info it's listed at xt926. Not sure if that is the issue or not? can flashing the ROM lock the phone?
unfortunately, i have tried everything to install RSD, but it just wont install. Having a nightware, so all i need now is to install a stock JB ROM for xt925, but the recovery is corrupt, so need Matt's or MR. PARKINSON'S to flash a xt925 ROM. Can someone please help?

Why dont you just flash twrp. Have it the same directory as the fastboot files from Hashcodes page on goo. Im. Cd to the directory with a command prompt and type faatboot flash recovery then the name of the file. Should overwrite your stock recovery and allow you to flash whatever you want.

I know you've stated that you can't get RSD to install, however if you can; perhaps borrow a friends computer to do it, then there's a variety of stock XT925 ROMs on this page http://sbf.droid-developers.org/vanquish_u/list.php
and instructions for flashing here http://www.andromods.com/tips-trick...-unroot-unbrick-droid-razr-maxx-hd-xt926.html which states its for the XT926 however I restored my 925 using my carrier's ROM from the first link and the tool and instructions on the second link. I only had one line with getvar in it to remove from the xml file. I've actually flashed both my carrier's ROM and then a generic one for my locale.
If you go this route, borrowing a friends computer, make sure you download the ROM from your carrier (assuming its there) with the higher version number or you'lle be attempting to flashing ICS and there's some post floating around that implies a downgrade from 4.1.2 to ICS causes problems.
The instructions look a little daunting but the xml files I saw, in both ROMs, were very short. Just be sure to use notpad when you edit. The other thing to be sure of, which isn't otherwise stated, is that RSDlite runs for a while even after the phone reboots. I made the mistake of pulling the cable when I got to the setup screen the first time I did it and thought it was a problem with the ROM or the flash of it. The reality, I think, after looking more carefully the second time, is that RSD is still running and doesn't say finished for a little bit after the boot and until I was still filling out the thing for the intial phone setup... Google acount, Google Plus, etc.

Since your'e unlocked you no longer need to use any exploit to gain root. Get a flashable supersu.zip on the phone, install a recovery and root you will have; just install the zip...
Have a full battery when starting the ROM flash.
thanks alot buddy, i'll start reading into it. So, i did finally manage to install TWRP, and did manage to flash the ROM with stock 4.2, tried both xt926/925, however, now the issue is i dont get any reception, nothing at all, everytime i search, it comes back with no network found. Can you please advise? i was able to bypass the corrupt recovery, install a clean 4.1.2 xt926 ROM, but i never got any reception, installed TWRP, then tried 4.2 ROMs. No, i get nothing...miss i mess up the radio?

Hi, I tried replying to your PM however the server isn't reporting it sent or is having troubles sending or whatnot. Let me know if you got it or not.
In any case, of most relevance, who was your carrier when your phone did work? That is going to hopefully be the starting point, I believe.
...also, please quote my text if responding so that I get an email notification, otherwise I'll forget XDA exists for days at a time...
I have been rooting for about a year now, albeit largely with Samsung devices via Odin and CWM Recovery. I now have a Verizon Motorola RAZR HD (xt925) and have been unsuccessful with unlocking the bootloader. I decided to use Safestrap with it, and tried to load Eclipse-v5.0-build2-xt926, reportedly compatible with my XT925... now i am stuck with this screen:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

10.9B(*) (sha-1e9f557, 2013-02-14 09:13:08)

I have been looking to XDA for my answers over the last year. Help would be appreciated. Twenty-five dollars worth of appreciation.
(Yes, I have resorted to bribes....)
Easy fix,
download what ever version of the system software you had on it previously.
Flash it in fast boot mode.
?????
Profit.
Edit: also Verizon RAZRs are xt926 not xt925

Phone identified itself as 925... either way, i am unsure where i can find stock software for it and seem to be unable to flash anything from fastboot, because as it turns out, i am code-retarded. definitely profit when this is solved. I can "cd" through dos and get to where fastboot commands are entered and I have even tried to "fastboot recovery recovery.img" but for the life of me, i must be typing the string incorrectly somehow. But I am excellent at following clear-cut directions. i will try to find a stock image...for motorola, it is a .sbf file, right? If i seem stupid, i apologize, i'm not. just not up on all the nomenclature native to adb and fastboot (or linux). Thanks for helping me though.....i need it.
Ok,
First thing I want you to do is look on the back of the phone, It will have the model on the lower half of it.
Second thing is to find the official software.
For XT96:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/vanquish/list.php
For xt925
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/vanquish_u/list.php
Flash the ROM file using RSD Lite.
If it dosnt work:
Make sure you have the moto drivers installed.
open up the .xml file in the rom and remove the "getvar" lines.
Still trying
Failed at 16/27 flash system system.img
What version did you try?
VZW_XT926_4.1.2_9.8.1Q_62_VQW_MR-4_VQW_CFC.xml
having a hard time finding other .xml files to use... any non-stock .xml available? really want to get into an AOKP/CM/PAC/Liquidsmooth/Carbon/Paranoid.....whatever is 4.2.2
No, only official roms are packaged like that.
You need to have RSDlite at least Version 6 or higher. Also, edit the xml file as stated here.
If your phone is up & running again you can consider going to another rom either with safestrap or by unlocking your BL, installing a recovery and flashing any ROM you like. As stated above you can only flash Stock FW using RSDLite. All other roms can only be applied with either safestrap or CWM Recovery (or similiar).

Hi,
I am trying to backup my Rogers Motorola Razr HD before rooting. However I am experiencing a problem or doing it wrong. I would love a step by step on how to do this to be sure. I followed a youtube video where a guy does it with a Verizon phone but there is a difference .
I held down the Power and Up/Dwn volume keys on a reboot and selected the recovery option when the menu came up ....but unlike the video I watched the rogers phone goes to a screen with a green android character lying down with a red exclamation mark on top of him. What do I do from there to do a backup.
Also, did the motochopper root work well with the rogers Razr HD?
Thnx
Dane
You need a custom recovery such as TWRP or CWM installed. For that you need an unlocked BL, use the exploit or official unlock way since you have a XT925.
BL unlock: follow all the instructions from the Motorola website and you'll be good to go
Recovery: you need fast boot and its best to have adb also. Install/download the Android SDK. Then go to the folder inside the SDK called platform-tools, open a command prompt from there by holding Shift (or control not sure lol) and right clicking then Open Command prompt here. Put the downloaded recovery in that same folder (must be extracted from the zip) then in the cmd type "fast boot flash recovery name_of_recovery_here.img" with your phone connected in AP FASTBOOT. Wait for it to finish then you can boot up the recovery.
If anything isn't clear just say so

For a nandroid backup you just have to be rooted and download nandroid from the play store. No custom recoveries or unlocked bootloaders necessary.

My phone was bricked due to OTA update.
Then i reflashed it via RSD and using latest stock kitkat firmware.
Phone is working great , but when I switch it off and then start it ,
it always goes to bootloader mode and I have to use three button combination ( Vol up , down and power button ) for boot start up menu
and select normal boot to make it work again.
Any way to make normal boot up as default because it always goes to bootloader mode when I start my device.

Thank You.
What does it say when it's it in BL mode? Are you getting a sticky-bit or flash failure message?

Have you modified the sbf xml before flashing? Have you tried to factory reset after flashing? Try to download again the original sbf and reflash it.
