Hello I just upgraded to a RAZR HD on verizon and it came with ics. I'm wondering if I should root and unlock before the update to official jellybean?
And if I can make a nandroid of stock ics or stock jb, do I need to root and unlock before I can backup?
I also noticed some weird static in my skullcandy ear buds when listening to YouTube and Google music anyone else notice this?

Root and unlock is available for jb so no worries there.do it sooner rather than later in case an update comes out that disables the unlock exploit. You can't do a backup that way unless you unlock and install a custom bootloader.once you unlock you forfeit your warranty btw.have never noticed a static issue.

Static issue seems to be gone once I disabled the audio eq in settings, trying the motochopper root exploit hangs in ics so I guess I will be updating to jb after all then.
Got the updates from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 but when I try to run the motochopper exploit my PC reboots and due to "DPC_WATCHDOG_ something” I can't remember the last part of the error. My PC is win 8 x64.
Edit- Turns out the DPC Watchdog Violation errors I was getting is due to a faulty usb port on my laptop, I used a different usb port and now my razr hd is rooted. *Sighs relef* thought I screwed one of my machines for a minute.
I have too. Its rather annoying. My iPhone never had that issue. I haven't tried it since going to A new ROM though. I'll let you know if it is better in the next day or so.

iii love keeping a razr around because I love that Webtop! Too bad IMHO the devs destroyed the design for the 4.04 webtop, which is really the main reason I keep a razr in my arsenal
Anybody ever tried fastbooting the ics firmware back to gingerbread? Would there be another way to get the old webtop...a custom gingerbread rom with working webtop?
Any experiences or ideas would be great! thanks fam:highfive:
This phone was never made for that old of software... maybe with a dev edition.. only cause the radios could not be signed being they would have to be edited

When I upgraded I didn't use the leak but flashed stock image and took OTA...there was talk by using the leak you could still bet back...but short of that you definetely can't fastboot gingerbread. :"(
a
are the any gb custom roms i could put on a safestrap boot slot that run working webtop? maybe that would be an option?
I have a rooted razr maxx. I am thinking about using a jb. Appalachian wireless is my provider. My question is, can i ise any rom, or would i have to have one geared for aw?

Just an update. I am currently running cyanogenmod 10.1 on my aw xt908. Works like a charm. It does change the name to xt912 while cm 10, but so far everything is working great.
I have tried to flash jelly haters and solar eclipse as well, but all i get is a black screen. I have used a couple other roms successfully, but those two seem out of reach. Anyone have any pointers to get one of the two running on my phone?

I am on Appalachian and was thinking about rooting and installing Cyanogenmod on my RAZR MAXX too. Was just wondering, did you stick to the regular Cyanogenmod instructions or did you have to deviate at all because you were on Appalachian rather than Verizon. Also, did you have 4G when you installed? How did that work out?

I was just wondering if I can go back to the stock MotoBlur ROM and still have full root access for my GSM XT925 ( mostly because I can't connect to Koodo cell)
Yup.

Tap your heals together three times while repeatedly saying "there's no ROM like stock!"
Or you could use one of the many tool kits available in conjunction with voodoo root keeper.

My wife's got an XT925 non-rooted.
Helium was my go-to app for backups for non-root users, but since Motorola phones are no compatible (Motorola's fault) I need another solution. She has a lot of games on her phone and doesn't want to lose her progress.
Thanks in advance.

For a non-root phone?
Well root it? That's the only way apps can backup system type data.

I was trying to avoid that, but it looks like it's my only option.
I was hoping there was a RAZR HD specific alternative to Helium.
Why avoid rooting it? You can always unroot after backing it all up if it's such a big deal.

It's my "wife's phone" and she's paranoid or something. I've root/ROMed every phone and tablet I've owned, but this is her phone and it's an argument I'd just rather not have.
She's on 4.1.2 (I'm pretty sure it's the June OTA update) so I have motochopper ready, can you please link me to the un-root thread? I haven't seen it.
If you download super su after your rooted there's a unroot option within the app. There's also a few other apps made to just unroot in general. Search the play store.

Thanks for the info.
I got the phone rooted, and I backed up her data, but now I have a new problem.
After the factory reset through the Settings menu, I am in a boot loop where the phone looks like it's trying to pull a firmware update.
Two steps forward, one step back.
Why did you do a factory reset? Flash the stock rom with rsd.

I did end up having to use RSD to flash the stock ROM. After the factory reset the home softkey stopped working, and no notifications were showing up in the pull-down-from-top thing (whose name I clearly forgot).
We got an unlock code, but couldn't actually unlock the phone because it was giving us a "SIM is perso locked" message instead of a "oh that's a foreign SIM, please put in the code" screen. XDA and YouTube both seemed to say that a full reset was in order to get it working. It did, but everything else got ****ed up. RSDL fixed the rest, but it turns out the phone was NOT compatible with her new cell provider afterall. :\
I recently purchased a RAZR maxx HD xt926 and boot loader locked and version 9.30 on jb wanted to know what Roms are so far compatible using ss 3.12 and I am rooted
Thank you and appreciated

Not many unfortunately, you may search around. For start look here.
That's really really unfortunate cause I would love to have cyanogen on my phone would any versions be compatible with my phone at the moment
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk
Probably not. I read that it was CM compatible rom for stock kernel but then bootloader exploit was found and developers happily started building kernel rather then adjusting CM to stock.
Nexesque looks like CM. Make backup of your stock slot, create new one and try. Or just restore backup of your stock rom to new slot, start disabling apps and processes you think as unnecessary.
Again, make backup of your stock slot/rom and never try to change stock slot or try to restore it. You may brick your phone.
Thank you sir for all your help and advise

You're welcome. Read and understand before you start customization. If you don't understand something, better ask or search for answer before you try
If you haven't already, try to boot into fastboot. Turn off your phone, press and hold volume down, volume up and power at the same time until the screen turns on. Press Volume down until you reach the AP fastboot in the list and press Volume up to select. Check phone status. Maybe you will be lucky as me do discover status: unlocked
I'm not unlocked I am running nexesque but without cyanogen my life is incomplete thats just how it is every phone of android I own needs cyanogen on it I purchased the maxx because of the battery life that's my priority so I'll be hunting hopefully a developer helps put cyanogen out for us. The good news is 4.4 update will be pushed to maxx HD just hope we get it
