Help flashing ROM - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay I have safe strap, I used that to flash ROMs every time I try and flash a ROM it will say successful and gapps will say successful, but when I reboot the screen goes black and nothing appears. But I can go back to stock ROM and its fine.
Everything I did.
-Rooted
-unlocked boot loader with safe strap
-downloaded many ROM ex. Aokp, cm10.1
-turned off phone accessed safe strap
-made ROM slot in 1 nothing 2 nothing 3 nothing and 4 nothing
-wiped cache and other three
-installed ROM and gapps
-reboot and NOTHING!

No need for safestrap on an unlocked BL use TWRP instead and it should work

Do I have to uninstall safe strap and if my boot loader is unlocked is that going to matter if so how would I uninstall and thanks

Make sure to delete the partition you created with safestrap then uninstall it. Then use one of the tools in the development section if your not comfortable using fastboot commands to flash either twrp recovery or cwm. Then install your custom rom and it'll work fine.

How do uninstall I tried deleting the app and when I reboot my phone safe strap is still there it version 3.12

Aparently safestrap doesnt flash 4.2.2 roms.
I had this same problem. You'd be better of using clockwork mod.

You have to uninstall through the app like I said man. Not just delete it.

I don't see why he shouldn't use cwm. I find it more noob friendly it's harder to do something by accident.

Appreciate the help guys did everything installed twrp but when I try to boot recovery I get the dead android triangle?

So the recovery wasn't installed correctly basically.

Actually probably only the radios are different, if this situation is any similar with the D3, it should work minus phone and data
a confirmation from the dev may be needed just to be sure the radios wont fry if flashed with wrong software
Get it working for the Maxx HD!
Radios are deff different and some other stuff

Thanks, hope to see more. I just upgraded from the thunderbolt which has all but vanished from the scene. Loving the battery life on this one...
Updated OP with new CM10 version.
Has anyone worked out the difference between the international xt925 (unlocked loader) and the XT926?

Trying to flash 11.16 CM10
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2
Did you check the MD5 of the download before you began? Is your boot loader unlocked? Are you on stock ICS or JB leak? Did you use Voodoo OTA rootkeeper for any reason? All shots in the dark... worked OK for me on stock rooted 4.0.4.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Xparent Cyan Tapatalk 2
I'm unlocked.
On Jelly Bean leak
Yes I have Vodoo Root Keeper.
For some reason I thought I needed to be on Jelly Bean leak.
Could it be root keeper causing the problems?

Another question since I see your name in a lot of good info. I thought I saw somewhere about replacing that stupid unlock warning with the Motorola symbol again.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using Tapatalk 2
Not sure about this but make a backup of your current state (you probably already have) then in Voodoo app delete the SU backup then try again. Also I'm not sure if it can be installed on JB leak (not saying don't do it, I'm saying I don't know.)
@dhacker29 or @Hashcode0f via twitter will be able to answer your questions if my suggestion doesnt work.
EDIT: just updated the OP with his download page... There seems to be a newer version out anyway, try them.
Thanks

Did this work for you? Did you remove Voodoo root keeper? I have trouble like you trying to install this rom

CWM recovery file question.

Does anyone know where I can find a good link to a CWM recovery file for the XT926? I have googled the piss out of it and all lead to the goo.im site and it says the file is no longer there.
Any ideas? Thanks
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using xda app-developers app
Can't find a link to just CWM, but here's one that has TWRP and the stock Moto recovery also (just toss those if you don't want them):
http://d-h.st/ZOG
Thanks! I'm willing to try anything. BTW will that work as a recovery file I can use in ROM manager?
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using xda app-developers app
I haven't tested it personally since I use TWRP, but it should work.

Stock rooted ROM? Just a point in the right direction

So I bought a RAZR maxx HD today and it already had the boot loader unlocked with team win recovery and a dark ROM. Well I want to give stock 4.1.2 a try, I cannot find a zip to flash in recovery to just have a stock rooted phone. Is there not one? Do I have to sbf? Thanks

I don't have the Maxx, but the Razr HD..
I recommend you to flash the stock ROM with an SBF (they're not SBF anymore, they are FXZ now).

Sorry mis-read post

Can I have stock everything and swap just the kernel?

I looked and I am sorry if I missed it but what I would like to do is...
RAZR HD stock.
Freeze the bloat. VZW
Flash a faster kernel to further improve performance.
Still maintain full function.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Sent from my DROID RAZR HD using xda app-developers app
I am also interested in finding out if this is possible.
Also, any kennels for liquidsmooth rom out there?
Sent from my XT925 using xda premium
You could if there were other blur kernel options and you were rooted with an unlocked bootloader.
