[Q] could use some help flashing a rooted+unlocked Razr M - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've done the following to my new, out-of-the-box Droid Razr M (XT907):
- Rooted it
- Unlocked the bootloader
- Installed CWM recovery
Booted into the CWM recovery mode, I cleared the memory, cache, and while trying to flash an Eclipse JellyBean custom ROM, the process failed (alas, I didn't capture the error msg, but I recall it being a bit vague). I (perhaps foolishly) rebooted using the CWM menu after this failure. Since then, the phone has been stuck in the "WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED" screen (scrshot attached). I'm able to enter the AP FastBoot mode using Power+VolumeDown, but trying to flash a stock ICS ROM using RSD is failing as well.
I'm kinda stuck at this point, and would highly appreciate any useful advice. The AP FastBoot screen says "Battery Low!" so I'm not really sure how much time I have. I've kept it connected to my PC via USB, but I'm not sure if that charges the battery or not.
Thanks much!

To bo clear, I'd like to take the phone from its current state to _some_ working state, whether it's by flashing a custom ROM or by unrooting it and taking it back to a factory state (assuming that's even possible), so that I can fully charge it and then make another attempt of flashing a custom ROM onto it.
Thanks!

If I were you, I would download RSD, boot the phone into Fastboot AP, and flash the 4.1.1 stock image. If you download the Razr M Utility 1.10, it will have both RSD, the motorola drivers, and the stock image. It can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207419
NOTE: Your battery should be at 100% for the flash according to the original post in that topic. I would leave it attached to the computer for a few hours or put it on the wall charger for a few hours before going any further.

You could also flash cm10, either would work. Cm10 would bypass the issue of undoing your custom recovery

did you mount system before you flashed?

I think the Razr M Utility 1.10 can save your phone, it flash the stock rom by fastboot, not by RSD, and it will do the work. I've try it.

Apologies for the delayed response here.
I followed these instructions, and it worked wonderfully. My phone is now restored to the stock image, so a huge thanks there!

Are you referring to my attempt at flashing the custom ROM? I don't think I mounted anything. I copied the custom ROM .zip file onto the phone's SD card, booted into the CWM recovery mode, wiped out the data, cache, and dalvik cache. I then selected the "Install zip from SD card" option followed by selecting the zip I copied earlier.
Did I miss an important step here? The instructions I followed were from an external (i.e., non xda-developers) site. I'll try to look for better instructions on this forum, but if you have a pointer handy, I'd appreciate it.
Once again, thanks for saving my phone guys. I was beginning to lose hope

Solved:I guess I'm stuck in boot loop....now what?

Ok guys..... newbie here .... literally I'm new to Boot unlocking, root, Flashing etc.
Anyway I have followed this forum for so long that I decided to take plunge yesterday and get my hands dirty.
Here is what I did:
Unlock bootloader, root and install recovery on my Atrix 4G. Atrix was @ 2.3.4 and 4.5.91 during unlocking & root.
Rebooted the phone and everything seems to be in place. Atrix loaded like the way I bought it 7 months back. No problem until now.
Also created a restore folder on my external SD. Worked fine and was successful in creating backup with time stamp
Now here are my steps and subsequent issues that I'm facing:
1. Downloaded CM9 zip file from this thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500535) along with Gapps to my external SD
2.Entered recovery mode during bootup and tried to flash CM9 and Gapps. Flashing seem to have gone well and completed (note I did not do clear data, clear cache or clear dalvik cache under advanced options being a newbie)
3. Reboot the phone and can only see red Moto logo and unlocked on top. Left for about 5 minutes and nothing happened.
4.Did a battery pull and entered recovery mode. wiped data, cache & cleared dalvik cache
5.Went to Install zip from sdcard option and tried to reflash CM9. Flashing seems to have gone well and completed
6. Reboot phone and again can only see Moto Red logo with unlock on top and nothing more.
7.Battery pull followed by recovery. But This time I tried to restore from my external SD. also wiped data, cache & dalvik cache
8.Restore took about 3 minutes and completed.
9.Reboot the phone. Now the phone boots and goes to Rethink possible screen and get sstuck.
10. Left it for 1 hr....nothing.
11.tried steps 7-9 again and still stuck in "Rethink possible" screen during boot.
What did I do wrong? Did I soft brick the phone? I can still enter recovery mode and read my internal and external SD and can see all files. i hope I didn't brick my phone doing this. If I did, I would regret!
Here are my options:
1.Try a stable ROM like CM7 and see what happens. I didn't want to do too much damage so haven't tried this option yet.
2.I know there is a way to hide 'unlock' during boot up (if someone can point to it obviously). Hide the 'unlock' and return the phone to ATT and tell them that phone would not boot after 2.3.6 update and get a refurbished one
Please let me know what your thoughts are. I'm currently crapping on my pants
Edit: I just tried Newtrino rom and stuck @ Moto screen which says unlock.
Edit 3/4/2012: Please go to the last post for the solution. Tenfar's CWM is old and cannot deal with latest ROMs. Use ROMRACERS latest CWM or touch based Koush's CWM for future ROM flashing.
Old CWMs will give you sleepless nights!
Ok tried restore again after wiping data, cache & dalvik cache.
Now after reboot, My Moto Logo screen says unlock and just starts flashing.
I can still get into recovery......
can someone please help me......
What you can do is: install a "stable" ROM of Gingerbread:
--Go in recovery, put a .zip of the ROM on your sdcard (with your computer), and after wiping data, install it .zip.
--Or you install a new ROM with fastboot
Anyway, be careful with your battery, because if it is empty, with no ROM on your phone, it'll be crap!

thank you for your response. However I tried that already Nutrino GB ROM. Again, I would go to 'M' screen which says unlocked and its stuck there for ever.
I used tenfar's CWM. Not sure if I need to use any other CWM. Also since my phone doesn't boot, I'm not sure how I can install any other CWM

Don't worry, soft bricks are easy to recover on the Atrix thanks to us being able to access fastboot.
For flashing a new recovery:
While your phone is off, press Volume Up + Power to power up, then release when a menu appears on your screen and navigate with volume down until you see Fastboot, select it with the volume up key.
Get the necessary files for fastboot, place them all in a folder called "moto" in your C: drive, and type in the following in a cmd window (assuming you're using windows and that the recovery image is called recovery.img):
C:/Moto> fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
C:/Moto> fastboot -w
C:/Moto> fastboot reboot
Now access your recovery wipe dalvik cache, cache, factory reset and then flash a new ROM. It SHOULD boot without issues. I personally use Koush's Clockworkmod Touch, also remember that Neutrino tends to get "stuck" sometimes after the first attempt to boot and requires a battery pull and then you try to boot again. (It takes a while)

Many people also seem to have suggested RACEROM CWM. Which one would you suggest? I'm so nervous about all this now. Just have this butterfly in my stomach
flash the latest recovery and wipe everything in recovery and flash neutrino again. It should work after that. try neutrino 2.2 though. 2.5 still has it's kinks.
1st off, relax. It's difficult to brick your phone from this point Just don't get any bright ideas with .sbfs lol.
As others have said, make sure you're on latest recovery.
Question: are you installing from internal or external SD? Internal is recommended for flashing most ROMs.

As someone else said, the ONLY thing you should NEVER do is flash an .sbf or go through an OTA update, that's a surefire way to hard brick your phone. From this point on it's VERY DIFFICULT to completely brick your phone using software only.
RomRacer's CWM is based I think on v5.0.2.7? Koush's latest recovery is v5.8.1.5. I honestly couldn't name any tangible differences other than the touch interface, which is the reason I use it in the first place. (I hate mashing volume keys like a madman) It really doesn't matter which CWM you use, but when I soft bricked my phone I recovered with CWM Touch.
I would recharge your battery to 100% before trying to recover it, as that is one less headache to worry about, but if your phone starts saying 'Battery is too low to flash', do not panic, you only need a USB cable you don't mind sacrificing (doesn't have to be new). I will go into detail in case you actually need to do this.
Just make sure you use the fastboot -w command and wipe EVERYTHING through CWM before trying to flash anything else.

Thanks I was able to fix my boot up issue using ROMRACERS CWM. I didn't use any command prompt or anything. I just downloaded zip file from this thread, entered recovery mode -->Install Zip from SD card --> Chose ROMRACERS zip --> it automatically flashed the recovery and I then rebooted recovery under advanced options.
After that Wiped data,cache & Dalvik Cache and proceeded to install CM9 and it booted up up flawlessly.
I'm kind of surprised that tenfar didn't add a not to use his CWM as the latest ROMs use latest ext format.
That seems to be issue. However, I'm pleased with your guidance and final output. Thanks a lot dude.

Did you flash the CWM.zip in TWRP? I ask because there was a known issue when flashing CWM from TWRP you would get stuck in a recovery loop. I had the same issue and had to flash the stock .img to get out of it. Good luck.
i flashed the CWM zip that was posted in the CWM thread, bout to try and get myself free..
::success.
booted into bootloader
flashed bootloader, restarted, booted into my rom...
rebooted back into bootloader
flashed recovery
wipe/flash normally
I'm in the same exact situation, Could you share with me how you got it to boot into bootloader? I've been trying for awhile now. As I'm stuck in CWM I'm thus far unable to use adb. I'm a total adb noob so there is probably something quite simple I'm missing. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the reply, I've tried that many times. It's not working. I wish I had read this thread carefully and learned that it might be dangerous to flash cwm zip from TWRP, I had no idea.
The thing is is that it never really shuts down properly(thought I remembered a power off option on one of my epic 4g cwm) So when I press the power button while on the reboot system now option, that is what it does but back to recovery. I tried the volume button as you suggested as well as every other combination I could think of. :~(
Well in messing with drivers(uninstalling old drivers/devices installing universal naked driver) I had the nexus 7 q3 tool waiting for adb to enter fastboot and reflash TWRP so I could restore) and the tool suceeded in kicking me into fastboot(with an error in the toolkit) The toolkit stopped communicating though. I want to use the toolkit to reflash back to stock now that I'm in the bootloader screen.
I'm a bit nervous though, some warning about flashing asus stock blobs being a sure way to HardBrick. I think I'll wait until I get better information. I am on the bootloader screen, but I'm certain my bootloader as it sits is messed up from flashing CWM.
*Edit* Success!! I used this ; "[Guide] Returning to Stock and/or Unbricking your device"located here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1781250 (not sure how to go about inserting a descriptive link sry :~( I'm now back to stock and ready to brick it again...umm, I mean, root and flash like there's no tomorrow. hehe Thanks for the input.:good::good:

Need some help.... No recovery

Ok... I screwed up. I rooted my A500 and that worked great. I downloaded Goo manager and tried to flash recovery. It said it was successful, but when I selected reboot recover I got the dead andy with the red triangle....
So, I'm guessing what I missed doing was maybe unlocking the boot loader?
Anyway, any thoughts on how I can either get a recover installed, since I don't seem to have one right now?

See my post below, that worked for me, I could not get the bootloader to work and had to manually flash in APX mode. Just make sure to get the AfterOTA tool or use the A500manager to extract your CPUID and SBK and keep them around, you should be able to get these using the A500manager in APX mode. Once you have that you can use Blanthundr's APX Flash tool and manually flash a bootloader. I used Thor's successfully. Once you got that back you can load up a custom ROM and you should be back in business. Just make sure that you wipe the data, cache and Dalvik Cache before you apply the ROM to have a clean install. Hope this works for you, it worked for me.

[Q] Data not wiping and cannot flash rom

Hi guys
Im currently using Energy rom on romslot1 aa daily rom. I downloaded tripping bean and was trying to install on the stock rom slot. I did factory reset cache wipe dalvik cache wipe and system wipe. But when i tried to install the rom Im getting an error " set_perm - some changes failed " status 7 error ... googled it out and it said to try downloading the rom again. but i downloaded again and did md5 check and it was same and installing still not working. not sure whats wrong. Also i tried to wipe data but im getting an error unable to wipe data. Im guessing somehow these two errors are related?

You need to get into fastboot mode but first download Matt's utility 1.20 and follow the interactions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2249773
to get into AP fastboot mode turn off you're device and hold power+ vol up + vol down and then when you get to a black and white screen use vol down to navigate, scroll down to where it says AP fastboot and press vol up
in Matt's utility it gives you the options to flash stock 4.1.2 in fastboot mode.
it's option 1 I think.
if you decide the option to root you has to be in USB debugging. (phone needs to be booted up)
it would be nice if you unlocked you're device's bootloader, and Flash TWRP recovery. it's a better option than safestrap now anyways good luck.

Do not use utility version 1.20, unless you have updated to 4.1.2. You will have issues. If you have not updated, you need to use utility version 1.10.

I did see your post afterwards. But I havent started doing it because I will lose all my roms n data if i do it. I had got my razr m on 4.1.1 and then i had rooted and installed safestrap and had flashed several roms on the stock slot also. So the rom in the stock slot is 4.1.2. But I cant boot into it. The rom in rom slot 1 (my daily rom) is 4.1.1. So can i use utility 1.20? or should i use 1.10? Whats the difference?

If you updated to official Verizon update in stock slot (4.1.2), then you need to use utility 1.20. 1.20 is designed for 4.1.2 and it includes all the fastboot files for 4.1.2. The key here is whether or not you flashed the official update. There are only a couple of 4.1.2 based aftermarket ROMs available, and they're over on DroidRzr.com (cm10.1 doesn't count because it's not a stock based build). If you didn't take the Verizon update and didn't flash any of MHouse's DST or FXZ ROMs, then you should still be on 4.1.1. If you are on 4.1.1, then use the utility version 1.10. Honestly, you just need to get over the fact you're going to lose ROMs and data, and fastboot the phone back to stock. Then, start from scratch. If you have any important data, save it to your external SD or computer. You'll be able to flash everything again, once you have a good, clean stock install. Then, after fastbooting, unlock your bootloader and stop dealing with SafeStrap. Install a custom recovery, and flash until your heart's content.
Yeah my bad, I didn't know it could cause issues. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you lose safestrap because right now unlocking your bootloader and flashing a custom recovery is safer, lol. if you do decide to install a custom recovery make sure you backup you're stock ROM.
If you don't wanna lose your roms and stiff back up with ss and put it on so doesn't take but about 10 mixtures after fastbooting to go back the way it was

[Q] Milestone 2 Bootloop (I tried to flash CWM 6 via recovery mode)

Hi guys,
I have a Milestone 2 running unofficial JB 4.3 (chinese version), and I tried to flash the file CWM 6 Recovery (.zip) via recovery. The recovery original of this rom is Android system recovery <3e>. Now when I start the device stuck in a bootloop. I don´t know what to do, and my desktop don´t recognize my device, despite all new motorola drivers installed, is impossible to make any update via RSD Lite.
I need help, any suggestion?
when you say that your desktop doesn't recognize the phone, did you put it in flash mode then?
you have to press the up button on the keyboard and the power button together to enter that mode. the phone should show you the bootloader version and some other stuff.
now you can connect it to your desktop computer and it should show as motorola flash interface in the device manager. then you can flash with rsdlite.
that said I had to do the whole procedure recently aswell. on my primary workstation rsdlite didn't recognize my ms2 at all (despite having proper drivers installed and despite it showing correctly in the device manager). so I tried it with a windows xp vm on my macbook pro and there it did work.

No, I don´t do that, I put in the recovery mode only. I didn´t know how to enter in bootloader, now I know that, thnks! :good:
Is wrong and risky flash the cwm6 via recovery, the right is always flash via RSD Lite right?
Supposing, through this procedure that you recommend me and the RSD Lite recognizing my device...
What file I flash to solve the problem?
you can download a sbf for your phone (depending on your region) from here: sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_milestone2/list.php
after you flashed the sbf you have to boot into recovery and wipe data.
you will be back to a factory reset stock rom after that!
it might be possible to rescue your current rom/data but with that I can't help you. I don't know how to get cwm6 either.
the way I went was: gingerbread stock via rsdlite -> CM10 from tezet via the method described by tezet -> CM10.2 from Engle_Mars via the cwm recovery from tezets CM10 rom

Now, before I did the procedure to flash the rom, I start the Milestone 2 in the Bootloader mode as
recommended you.I noticed the battery´s device is discharched, and I don´t have other battery to replace.
Remembering my recovery don´t have any battery charge options.
There is one way to charge the battery or solution, without use the recovery mode or buy another battery?

Only do this for a short period of time, else your battery could damage.
Flash something, then wipe data in stock recovery, and try to boot your device.
Good luck
