Help cant upgrade to new firmware. I have a rooted droid razr , im pretty the problem is the custom kernal i have(3.0.8-g29cf5e7 [email protected]@il93lnxdroid54 #1) also i didnt back up anything!?!?! so i think i need either to unrrot, get ahold of a stock rom somehow or find away to make my current rom work. plz help
Download stock rom from here or any other site. You need not unroot for that.
Flash it manually with any flash tool or by copying to sd card and updating through CWM recovery.
You can find list of custom and stock roms in the link below. Select the appropriate rom that supports your device. Unsupported rom may stuck you in bootloop.
Since my AT&T ICS 4.04(final update) Atrix 2 won't pass beyond the M logo (have been flashed like ten times), I need someones help.
I can't downgrade to GB because would brick the phone forever or upgrade to a newer version. Or flash a custom ROM because the phone is not rooted and doesn't have any custom recovery tool installed.
So, I was thinking, maybe if I could flash an already rooted system and a custom recovery using RSDLite, could boot into the custom recovery, install a custom ROM and see if I can fix my phone.
Or maybe flash(RSDLite) a backup(or only the files need for this purpose) made by any user of the forum.
Is that possible? Please help.

It would be better to ask all the questions in one thread itself, rather than making new ones each time for a newer question.
RSDLite can't flash files which aren't signed by Motorola, hence no pre-rooted or custom recovery installed ROM can be flashed this way, since they won't have Motorola signatures.
Ok, this is weird, a while ago i didnt had any problems installing any kind of custom rom, used CWM while wiping everything... eveything was OK, ROM worked OK, etc... But one time i installed a ROM (Slimkat) and i lost signal, tried to use my recovery of stock android but it didnt work, so i tried a lot of things untill i got bootlop without being able to install anything since some files were missing, bad luck
After that, i just reflash stock 4.3 and upgrade from there 4.4.2, everything fine again... except that i cant install any kind of ROM, every ROM says "installation succesful" but everyone is stuck into bootloop.
While i havent tried ALL ROMS i have tried the same ones i was using (Nexus G+, LiquidSmooth and CM11), so i guess this problem is coming from my device.
On a side note, i tried to factory reset, but no luck... it shows the Android working but it inmediately turns the screen off, and then it shows it again and then off again... in an infinite loop
Same problem!
Bump.
I just got my Moto G yesterday (European XT1032), updated to 4.4.2, unlocked bootloader, rooted with superboot and flashed Philz Touch CWM.
Seems I have done everything by the book, wipes included, but no luck. I tried Slimkat, Paranoid and Codename Lungo (latest builds as of 3/12).

Hmmm... Pay attention to which version of Bootloader you are using.
You might want to try both 4.3 and 4.4 to see which one would work.
Extract the motoboot.img from the stock .zip image for your phone, then flash with mflashboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
Good luck!

Thanks. I'll give that a try. Is there a way to check bootloader version on the phone? If that doesn't work out I'll start from scratch and report back in this thread..

Hmmm.. I see there is a version number on mine, 41.05 dated 2013-12-06, but I'm not sure if that's the version or not.
And yeah... if changing the bootloader doesn't help, you probably would have to restore from the stock image and start over..
Got root and custom roms working after I 1.) downgraded to 4.3 and 2.) flash TWRP (instead of CWM).
So I'm not sure what the problem was. Besides the two main rooting methods (superboot and custom recovery), there are some other methods described on the forum specifically for people who already did a international variant OTA to 4.4.2. and one that is absolete (here) but apparently works for some when the two main methods fail.
However I'm still not sure if this solved everything. I am not sure if I can flash Cyanogenmod (which is 4.4.2) over a 4.3 firmware. Maybe I need to manually flash a 4.4.2 radio or something... Gonna check that out next...
EDIT: No need to downgrade. Not sure how it works but two main root methods (superboot and custom recovery) didn't work for me. Somehow I got stuck in boot animation. Just installed TWRP instead of CWM after Kitkat firmware (EU Retail) and rooted (/installed Super Su) from there. Everything works fine now.
I have a Razr M on 98.18.94.XT907. Running Jellybean 4.1.2. I have rooted it but from what I have read the bootloader cannot be unlocked.
I am new to droids so if I use the terminology wrong forgive me. From what I have read (most forum posts are 3 months old though) I can flash a custom ROM on this device without unlocking the bootloader but it has to be a custom build used with safestrap. The problem is I am not too sure how to do this and I have not found a live link to such a file or tutorial. If anyone can give me some instruction on how to install custom roms on locked boot loaders and which one to use for my phone I would appreciate it a lot.
Hey all,
Its been a while since I have messed around with my XT926 and I am having some trouble flashing a 4.1.2 ROM on it. What I've done so far is to RSDLite to a 4.4.2 build (one that is still compatible with boot loader unlock) and unlocked the boot loader. I was having trouble getting a recovery to flash other than epinters cwm and twrp 2.8. I tried flashing nexesue v3.6 in both recoveries but am stuck on the Motorola symbol on blot. If I RSDLite back to a 4.1.2 build can I then flash an older recovery and then the ROM?
EDIT: phone is also rooted using towelroot.
Any help is appreciated.
DID you try twrp 7.1.0?

See my post, had problem to install Nexesque too, but had success with specific CWM version. Also try to wipe all and flash boot.img as the op in Nexesque has stated.
