Hi all
Just wondering if anyone has a copy of the official Australian Razr M release firmware.
77.176.16.XT905.Telstra.en.AU
Always good to have a fallback system image!
Thanks in advance

Hi, I am also looking for the same firmware, managed to root the phone using Motofail2go but unable to use Clockworkmod to backup or load other firmware. Now when I try to Erase the phone I get the AP Fastboot Flash Mode (s) Device is looked Boot Failure. Luckily pressing the power button gets me back to a working phone. I have also unrooted the phone using DoomLord unrooting script but still the same boot up error. I know now the bootloader is locked by Motorola, this is why I need the original Telstra firmware.
I will donate $ 20 by Paypal to anyone that posts a working 77.176.16.XT905.Telstra.en.AU firmware that I can use and fixes the boot issue.

Out of curiosity what CWM did you try to flash?
You do know that you CAN unlock your bootloader right? exact same procedure as Razr I. Yeah the moto website doesn't mention telstra Razr M model blah blah blah it works as confirmed by Ausdroid editor in this thread.

Hi I used CWM from Google Play and selected the Motorola Photon Q from CWM, maybe a mistake but no RAZR M was listed.
I registerd on the Motorola site to get the unlock key but there is a quite a process to complete the excersice. Rather just have my stock rom back and forget about rooting for now.

I dunno how experienced you are at this so I apologise if I'm getting mixed up here but:
a.) You will NEVER flash ANY RECOVERY aside from stock without unlocking your bootloader, and you don't flash CWM from google play (not even sure what you're referring to!!!). You CAN flash recoveries from rom manager if your bootloader is unlocked and you have root.
b.) The only recovery I've seen around the place confirmed for Razr M (unlocked bootloader) is this one
http://aosp.us/?p=294
If you think the steps in unlocking bootloader is too hard you shouldn't even attempt it. Sorry to say but thats pretty much standard stuff for flashing recoveries etc. !!!! (having drivers installed, using fastboot via command line etc.)

Hi Thanks for your help and comments, I have rooted my old HTC Desire using Unrevoked in the past and flashed a Cyanogen mod and a LeeDroid mod without any problems so I thought I would try the RAZR M. Maybe the boot loader was different or not locked. I was able to go into recovery mode and select the cooked zipped roms from the SD card. I can not find any roms for the Aussie RAZR M either, I guess that is what you are looking for and concerned about updating the the JB from for the Verizon version as the radio may be different.
Anyway, the Motorola UI is not so bad and I especially like to start page with the circles. Hopefully JB update will come OTA soon. I hope that the JB update will return my phone to stock and the Bootloader error does not come up anymore. All is fine for now but if I have to wipe my phone and start again I can not do it. Have you ended up using your Motorola unlock code to unlock the boot loader ?
I am not completely a newbie

Thanks. did you mean now waiting, I guess u could mean either as apacheo has something available ? Looks like apacheo might be getting my $20 via paypal. So with the recommendation from apachio do I still have to unlock the booter. If yes, can this only be done via the Motorola site unlock code?
Will the stock Telstra image from apacheo fix my boot failure issue ? Will I need to have a rooted RAZR M and loader (TWRP) to load the file?
Thanks appreciate your help.
You shouldn't need to unblock bootloader to push the stock image. If its stock you should be able to flash it.
The whole point of unlocking is to be able to push NON OFFICIAL stuff however not having seen that image I can't confirm. e.g. Maybe because he extracted it himself its not signed like an official moto image so you may need to unlock.
If he has extracted a fastboot image it will INCLUDE stock recovery and you flash it via fastboot command line utility. Thats better than a ROM you have to flash with a recovery because it lets you roll back even if you screw your recovery.
All in all, ask him yourself, I'm only speculating based on first principles
BTW android manufacturers have gotten a lot more anal since desire, and yeah back then a lot of stuff was unlocked, now pretty much only Sammy ships unlocked bootloaders. I'd say that back then you could probably unlock the bootloader pretty easily so you don't remember jumping through hoops.

The stock recovery img is probably not going to fix your device.. sounds like you probably need the boot image, but how'd you manage to corrupt that?

Hi Apacheo, thanks for the reply, my procedure was as per my first post yesterday. Using Clockworkmod Rom Manger app I picked the Motorola Photon Q for Flash Alternate Recovery as this was the only close Motorola phone to the Razr M. (MY BAD) Maybe that was the problem. I tried to back up the existing rom using Clockworkmod but again got the AP Fastboot Flashmode error.
How do I get the boot image and load that? Meanwhile I have unrooted the phone and can use it. Just can't do a factory data reset and start with a new slate if I have to. Just hangs on the AP Fastboot Flashmode (S) black and white Device is locked screen.
Thanks, I was hoping to lose that $20 to u.
Flashing the stock recovery using fastboot is probably the best start.
I'll upload the recovery image and post the URL here. Wait a moment.

No idea about RSDLite, you use Fastboot to flash that, and it's a raw dump of the Recovery partition. Flash it like this:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-file.raw
The extension is irrelevant, you could equally rename it .img (which is the standard for fastboot files) but it won't make any difference. It's not the whole Telstra ROM, just the recovery partition. The whole ROM would be something like 600 mb, and as I've modified my system partition (i.e. rooted it) you may not want that, and with only 3G internet, I couldn't upload it anyway

Hi apache, thanks again, HELP.
OK, I press vol up and vol down and press the power key at the same time. I get the menu boot load selection, availlable boot modes if I pick recovery or AP fastboot I still get back to the AP Fastboot Flashmode (s) screen Device is locked Status Code:0
I assume I get into recovery mode and use your raw file from my SD card to update the recovery partition. What am I doing wrong?
incorrect, you flash via fastboot command line in.... fastboot mode (not recovery mode)
Hey,
I'm hoping to help you guys out. First I have a couple of questions.
1) is your device bootloader unlocked?
2) are you rooted?
If so I have methods to create a backup XML file for you.

If you have methods to recover an Australian modem IMG (instead of the Verizon-based one) then I'm all ears.. because until I find an AU modem, my phone is now completely unusable.. whoops :/

If I had another, I'd just root it and dd the modem image off and flash it on the broken one.. sadly I don't
I managed to screw it up by flashing the VZW ICS stock, so I could get the JB update on.. I deliberately didn't flash the modem from the VZW ICS stock, and I modified the JB update so it wouldn't apply any changes to the modem... but seemingly, I missed a couple of lines (checking the updater-script, I missed a couple that messed with the modem) so it's completely wrecked. Says the SIM is invalid, and won't detect or connect to any UMTS or GSM carriers here.
If someone else with a rooted Aussie RAZR M is able to step up to assist, it'd be great.
I'll also PM you my details jdf.
This METHOD was developed ONLY for an UNLOCKED Motorola Droid Razr Maxx HD XT926m phone that is already updated to the last version of KitKat 4.4.2 (System version "183.46.15.XT926.Verizon.en.US").
IF YOU HAVE AN LOCKED BOOTLOADER AND TRY THIS METHOD IT WILL BE ONLY YOUR RESPONSABILITY IF YOU DAMAGE YOUR PHONE !!!
My Motorola XT926m had an UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER (ICS 4.0.4) and I flashed via RSD Lite the last stock firmware, "183.46.15"... After that, I was, of course, unhappy, because I read on different forums that this firmware version didn't support root... I tried to download the Hydrogen Peroxide xt926 application that others users recommended here on XDA forum, without success.
But now, after I applied this method, my phone is again rooted... Enjoy the steps, but be carefull, it was developed for XT926 phones with UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER!
1. Download the files "VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF.xml" and "VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF.xml" from the Motorola firmware site: "motofirmware.com/files/file/"...
2. Unpack the files...
3. Substitute/replace the "gpt", "tz" files (FROM the folder with "15.1" version TO the folder with "10.1" version)... You should replace all the files that "RSD Lite" will tell you that don't fit when you try to flash the new stock firmware. You will obtain a MODIFIED version of "183.46.10" stock KitKAt 4.4.2 firmware!!!
4. Flash this MODIFIED "10.1" firmware with "RSD Lite v6.1.5 Multi-Flash" (without using Rsd Script Generator.jar), but don't forget to remove the first two 'getvar' lines in the xml file.
5. Download and install the "Towel Root.apk" and root the phone...
6. Now your phone should be ROOTED.
What to do NEXT:
7.Download from the Play Store and install "Superuser.apk" made by ClockWordMode and after reboot the application will ask you to update SU binary. In my case, the SU binary didn't support an online update and I installed the "Superuser.zip" file downloaded from the ClockWorkMode site, via recovery method, in order to gain this update (you can do this as well, if you already have a TWRP or CWM recovery installed on your phone). With the other version of superuser, like "SuperSU.apk" or "Superuser.apk" ("eu.chainfire.supersu-2.apk", the last version, 5.6mb, for example) you will need to follow the same steps...
8. Using "Total Commander.apk", you can go to "File System root"/"Etc"/"installrecovery.sh", and finally rename this last file... Or you can use "ES3 File Explorer.apk" in order to rename the same "installrecovery.sh" file in "Device"/"Etc" folder (choose, for example, the name "installrecovery.shbak")...
9. Flash with "Flashify.apk" (downloaded form PLay Store) a new "recovery img.": "TWRP.img" (2.8.3.0) or "CWM.img" (6.0.4.8) for KitKat... You can find them on "rootjunkysdl.com/?device=Droid%20Razr%20HD&folder=Firmware"...
10. If you flashed "TWPR recovery.img" you will need to install "Stericson.busybox-1.apk" (from Play Store...), because TWRP works with this busy box... (You could install "TWRP.apk" as well, but you must be careful, because you will need to be able to boot into Recovery mode directly from your phone (with the combination key), not from this app... Many times, the phone is able to boot into recovery mode from TWRP application, but not from the bootloader... That's why it is better to uninstall TWRP application if you have this problem). If you flashed a "CWM.img" you can install "RomManager.apk".
11.Now it is the time to backup your system to SD card!
That's it. My phone was unlocked, and I didn't have any issue following all this steps... If you're locked don't try it.
But.. If you're locked you could instead use an application named 'Safestrap' for some purposes (read more here on XDA forum please), because is destinated for the phones with locked bootloader...

I know you took a lot of time to write this up, but there is a downgrade method posted on here already. Also, there is no need to rename recovery.sh. All you need to do after flashing recovery is power off the phone and immediately boot straight back into recovery so the install script completes.
To answer your question, no, you can't unlock .15.

Yeah, unfortunately this post makes no sense, I mean, if you accidently flash the gpt.bin, you're screwed... and so many risks, plus, you can't flash custom recovery, and you can maybe downgrade the system and boot, but you still can't downgrade the bootloader...

This method is for an XT926 with UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER, with the last 183.46.15 update and the root access lost. I only described the steps that I already done with my phone. My Maxx HD is working and has root access again... I flashed custom recovery too (TWRP 2.8.3.0), I haven't any other problem.

The piece you are referring to that doesn't work on .15 is the unlock and root. The downgrade should work on an unlocked phone.
That aside, your steps are very confusing and could easily cause a locked user to brick their phone. Please clarify or I will continue reporting this thread until it gets removed.

Virgin Mobile Users Only A5_CHL
I've copied the zip file I downloaded via OTA and I'd like to share it with you Virgin Mobile USA Users. I haven't updated as my device doesn't have the appropriate recovery (It has the A5_dug recovery instead of the a5_chl). Make sure you are using the correct recovery and that you haven't modified any system files (such as sd card access, xposed framework etc.). Unroot and uninstall supersu. You need to relock the bootloader if it is already unlocked. Other than that, place the file in your internal storage and apply update through recovery and it should (hopefully) work.
Be cautious, I haven't tested the rom yet as I'm still searching for the recovery, so please BACKUP YOUR ROM BEFORE PROCEEDING
Here's the twrp backup: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByabtAsA5CmscUU1M0JmcFNaNEk&authuser=0
It should be in the folder titled: HTC Lollipop 5.0.2 Sense 6 A5_CHL TWRP Backup. I did not zip up the folder, so you will have to download all of the files and place them into one folder. Then place it unto your sdcard folder containing your twrp backups.

It was kinda weird for me too. I was running rooted stock rom w/ custom recovery.
I unrooted with superSU but no matter how many reboots RootExplorer still had SU access. I checked with root checker and it said I wasn't rooted so I just went for it.
Using fastboot I replaced the recovery with stock and then locked the bootloader.
Rebooted into recovery and ran the previous RUU on my PC. It went off without a hitch and put me back to stock KK. Then I just waited for the morning OTA.
Also, your bootloader DOES have to be locked. You can't leave it unlocked if you want to use an RUU.

You dont need to go into recovery after relocking the bootloader. You want to let it reboot to the system and then power down and restart into the bootloader and select fastboot . Hook up your phone to the PC and run the ruu???.exe file. Once it reflashes the last version of kitkat you can download and install the OTA for Lollipop.

Yes, I was able to do that shortly after my last post. It worked well and lollipop seems to be running smoothly. I'm just going to patiently wait for the release of sense 7 now.
Will be closing this thread soon and I've created a TWRP Backup of the Unrooted Stock Lollipop Sense 6 Rom. Will post on another thread once backup is completed. That way, no one has to relock their bootloader, flash a stock recovery or use an RUU

Anyway someone can make a CWM zip also?
Hi,
I Need help .
I have nexus 4 with stock ROM and stock recovery.
Two days after OTA update to Lollipop, the phone got stuck on boot-loop.
The problem is that on the phone i have a very important voice recording of a cop that says he will lie in court.
The court time is coming and i need that recording!
Everywhere i looked, no one has an idea how to recover a boot-loop'ed phone.
The 2 options that people recommended are:
1. RE-Flash the ROM.
Maybe it wont delete the files.
2. Wipe everything and hope that the file is recoverable with one of the software's.
A. What do you recommend?
B. Did someone try any of the recovering software's with any luck of actually recovering?
Your bootloader is locked, correct?

If your bootloader is unlocked you can try flashing TWRP recovery which has a built in file manager and mtp function to copy files to computer. You can also try to "dirty flash" another lollipop rom which will not wipe the data, but may not work.
Yeah, this is the only option, however, this can only happen if his bootloader is unlocked

Unfortunately, as far as I know you can't flash any Rom's while your bootloader is locked. You need either fastboot or a custom recovery to flash a custom ROM and both need an unlocked bootloader.

and flushing the same STOCK rom that i got as OTA should work or does it only work with custom ROM's?
i've looked again.
seems that the bootloader is unlocked!
so, should i flash a TWRP recovery?

Yes, after you've flashed twrp you should be able to access your files from a computer if you're booted in recovery.
soooooo.....
i flashed the TWRP Recovery.
very easy. no errors.
and it shows as the storage is completely empty! as if someone in all this time wiped everything...
so now, what recovery software do you know/used/heard of?

When the storage is completely empty, are you booted in recovery, the bootloader or just trying to boot normally? When you say it's empty, do you actually see the device on your computer? If so, is it completely empty with no folders or files or anything, or just stock stuff?
Can you check mount and make sure all the storage volumes are mounted? It's usually blank when they are all manually unmounted.

It's the stock firmware.All i did was root it and install the dual recovery.
I would advice to flash the whole firmware if you want to avoid any kind of complications.
And of course make a nandroid backup before flashing.
Its no flash zip.

The problem is that I already installed stock 5.1.1 and set it up, so I was wandering can you make flashable kernel with recovery? And how did you installed dual recovery? I am curious of how do you do it on newly kernel. I remember it took some time for 5.0.2 kernel to be made with custom recovery.

I'll see what i can do for the kernel.
It's for C6602 but you can flash it on a C6603. The only difference is that C6603 supports LTE but C6602 does not.
You can try it if u want to see the differences with the one you have and let me know!
For Dualrecovery, i used PRFCreator to create the pre-rooted firmware and i included Dualrecovery!No need to mess around with the kernel directly!

Hello, I think you can't.
Because boot isn't in BIN format you can't flash only kernel. And it's in multiple parts, boot, fotakernel, dualrecovery.
I'm too looking for stock kernel with recovery to root, I have unlocked bootloader.
See picture

If you are talking about flashing it using recovery,either CWM or TWRP, he definitely can.
All you have to do is place the .zip file in your sdcard,boot into recovery on your phone,do the necessary wipes and install the .zip.That's all.
But if you are talking about flashing it using flashtool then yes he can't use this file.For that he needs the FTF files which isn't the one provided here.

He is talking for flashing only kernel, but nevermind that, I already installed your ROM, works fine, only problem is that in recovery i can not mount system, and every attempt to flash a mod is giving me error, is there any solution for that?

It think that's because the framework for Xposed isn't installed so you can't falsh any mods.I do not use Xposed so i didn't include it in the .Zip

hey man, I can't flash a thing through recovery, it always says system is not mounted, and when I go and try to mount it, it wont let me. So i thought perhaps it problem with TWRP but Phillz recovery does the same, can you check if you are able to flash something?

Give me a link of one of the mods you are trying to flash and i'll try it and see how it goes.
have the same problem , system cannot be mounted therefore any attempt to flash anything to inject into the system over twrp is doomed . i tried to flash the drm workaround for lost noise reduction functionality in the camera . i did advanced wipe with all partitions cleared only internal sdcard unticked . cheers n thanks for the rom
umm... sorry but apparently, the name of file in download page is c6603. are you sure it's for c6602?

Yes,it's just a naming mistake on my part.
But the only difference is the support of LTE.everything else is the same
