I just got this Motorola XT886 phone which kind of exactly looks like a RAZR.
I saw it on a list that it will get the official Jellybean update in the near future, but no date had been provided.
Anyone happen to know about this pone? I got it today after my Bionic died and Verizon refused to help....so I switched lol.
Also I was wondering if there was any root information on the phone. I can't seem to find hardly any info about it. If I can sideload the firmware and it will be functional then I will.
Thanks!
Xt886 is a gsm phone (razr v) ? Not a cdma phone..
Do you talk about the right phone

Wrong forum. This is for the XT926 & XT925 only. You'd get much more help by posting in the correct forum. If I'm not mistaking that's the RAZR V

Yes this is the razr v who is sold by Mobilicity - Videotron and Wind in Canada ... ( they have aws band ) ( the bell version xt885 don,t have this band ... have the 1900 mhz band instead )
This phone is sold by Cincinatti Bell in USA
Could someone point me to the right forum ? I can't seem to find it. It's why I posted on here.

Hi Ruler1976,
Did you get your phone from Cellular One? If so, I would recommend leaving the baseband they provided on the phone. I'm on T-Mobile and I've jumped between a couple different basebands I found in the forums for the XT720 and they've really made no difference in coverage or signal strength. Just my $0.02.
I didn't even know Cellular One was offering the XT720 until your post.

I haven't seen a Cellular One XT720 sbf/nandroid so I don't know
Do you have a nandroid of the original system.img?
yes : post/send to me (best)
no: Have you flashed a sbf?
yes : shucks (hopefully another Cingular One user's lurking)
no : Make nandroid of cust and post/send to me (possibly good enough)
Yes I got it from cell one it had a ultimobile froyo mod on it and it was rooted but it was super laggy I posted this when I was having problems with my internet and mms but it was an apn problem I got it fixed now so I have never changed the basebands I thought that they got changed with the rom and had to change it to get my internet working forgive me I'm a noob this is my first android but I'm loving it my wife hates it this thing gets me in more trouble cuz I'm always playing with it I guess she is just jelous

I'm sick of being treated like dirt by Motorola, and will never buy anything from them again.
But for now I'm stuck with my Xoom Wi-Fi, unable to upgrade to ICS because Motorola doesn't give a stuff!
Is there a way to change my region settings from Australia to US?
I'm guessing if the update thought I had a US Xoom it would update it for me.
Sorry to hear that man. Not sure about changing regions, just root it and Install the latest ICS 4.0.4 Custom ROM.

I'm in the UK and get treated the same as you.. So just unlock your xoom and flash the USA rom.. Its dead simple... There are lots of tutorials on the web with all the links to the required files..

Are you kidding? Motorola alone chose to release ICS in the US only, it has nothing to do with any country.
Thanks to the rest of you, looking into it.
Hmm no google has control of the USA wifi xooms that's there test baby. Why do u think there are tweeks like SD card on forign motorola xooms and not the USA xooms? Motorola just sends out the os for google on the USA xooms.

Wrong. The US WiFi only is a Google Experience Device (GED) and GOOGLE handles updates for it, NOT Motorola.

Updates come from Motorola, who have issued release dates for foreign owned Xooms.

If you haven't found this yet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166106
You'll need to register (free) as a Motorola dev to download the US Honeycomb image from their site, or just download it from somewhere else. Then once it's flashed, your device will update itself via the official OTAs all the way to ICS 4.0.4.

Simplest and fairly fool-proof instruction. I used this to change my region to US. Got pushed to ICS by doing the steps listed above and then checking for updates. Worked GREAT!
Just GEDify my brother version to US and very easy using the guide
although find some differences. but that make it easier
I'm looking to buy a Motorola atrix 2 really cheap. The only thing is the seller says its bootlooping and they don't know how to fix it and they said it happened after cyanogen was put on it. Considering they didn't seem to know what that even was I doubt they know whether its cm7,9, or 10.
That being said I've done some reading about soft bricks, boot loops, fxz, and whatnot on the atrix 2 but being as I've never messed with flashing one of these phones I have no idea if its something I can recover. Im not new to the flashing process but Motorola appears to be a much different animal compared to Samsung phones. Can anyone advise how to go about getting it up and running or whether its even possible in its current state with the limited info I have.

It should be fine to reflash FXZ, just bes sure what region you're AT&T, India or China (Retail). Retail fw can downgrade & change to any other non AT&T fw...

Hey guys, I have a Motorola Droid Razr HD, 9.18.94.XT926.
Recently there was found an exploit for this version to gain root access. So I did it (using method for samsung galaxy s3, which i found here). Now I do have root access, but I'm interested if I can install custom roms, for example cyanogenmod. As far as I know it needs unlocked bootloader. I'm not sure if my bootloader is unlocked or not, so I cant risk just following instructions from cyanogenmod's website.
So, my question is, how do i check if bootloader is unlocked or not, and if it's not, how do I unlock it, given that when downloading Android SDK from motorola website, where I tried to unblock bootloader, I cant install it, archive is broken or something. Thanks in advance (Sorry for the bad English)
I you're on .94 and never unlocked, you won't be able to now. To check, boot into AP Fastboot and see if says locked or unlocked.

Look up "safe-root."
So I read up on it...If I'm not horribly mistaken(which is very possible) that root only works for android 4.2 and 4.3 which means that I'd need the OTA for 9.30.1 which my droid doesn't think I need.

.94 and .1 are the same update, just different designations. The HD has never made it past 4.1 in stock form yet, so there is no 4.2 or 4.3. Safe Root will work on your system version.

I have an XT926 Maxx HD. Stock. Locked bootloader.
Three days ago, I rooted, installed Safestrap and ROM'd with Nexesque v3.6. All using instructions here on XDA. Root and Safestrap were simple. Getting the ROM loaded was a bit of a challenge, but it worked fine, except for a google.process.gaaps failure message upon rebooting each time. But it doesn't seem to affect anything. But other than that, runs quite quick. Tried RageHD and it didn't work for me at all. Could just be my phone.

Bit of background...I've had Android phones since the OG Droid. All of them were rooted. The phone I have now is the Razr HD which I've never rooted. Guess I just got out of the game for a while. I want to root it now but unfortunately, it's been so long since I've been around the forums that I don't really know what anything is anymore or what does what.
I'm sure this has been asked before but every search I do, I come up with stuff that I don't understand. Can someone help out?
Phone is running 4.4.2
System version: 183.46.15.XT926
Thanks!
If your boot loader is locked, you can't do anything.

Abstract: you wanna root your Motorola Razr HD (xt925) ?
You can't go anymore with the "gentle procedure" - which is using Motochopper, a way to root the 4.1.2 without tearing apart your phone.
So either you go back with a stock 4.1.2 and live happily with motochopper and a slow sys, or you follow Motorola instructions to unlock the phone. Be aware that once you enter the code Motorola will provide you'll void your warranty (if you still are under the grace period).

You need to stop putting bad info out there, this unlock only works on the 925. The system version he shows is FW for the 926. You can't unlock the 926 via Moto.

The 925 is the GSM variant and is unlockable through Moto. The 926 is the CDMA model that is typically used on Verizon and it's not unlockable through Moto.

Hi, RikRong. I'm also new to this XT926 and on the latest firmware I guess (183.46.15.xt926), is there's any new way to unlock bootloader and root this device? I read an old instruction in another post and just bought this device and now I'm so screwed over .
