[Q] trouble flashing cm10.1

Ok so I have a RAZR m xt907 rooted with an unlocked bootloader running stock jb ROM 4.1.1. Also I'm using safe strap. I am trying to flash dhackers daily 629 using safe strap but after creating a 3 GB ROM slot and flashing the ROM, it simply will not boot. What am I doing wrong? I hope the information provided will suffice. Thank you in advance.

Edit: I figured out what I was doing wrong. I had to use cwm to get it working and not safe strap.

I think it is no problem for custom only. Xml/fxz no! Once on a custom you may need to reflash your radio. Look for the razr widget in the miui thread.
All the above is speculation.

[Q] I see a lot of 4.4 kit kat roms for the RAZR m but I have a question

Question ..i see alot of kit kat roms..what's the most stable 4.4 kit kat ROM ?

CyanogenMod 11 is pretty stable. I flash the nightly's once or twice a month, and I've never had a problem. Battery life is decent and everything seems to work.

For me PAC-rom is very very stable. Battery life better than in CM11, Carbon, Gummy. And PAC-rom is more customizable than every ROM i've tryed for RAZR M.

You can flash custom ROM on your locked bootloader phone with SafeStrap recovery. Some people says that perfomance wouldn't be like if you flash it with normal custom recovery(i.e. CWM or TWRP), but i never noticed that. Of course, you need to root your phone to use SS recovery.

But none of the newer custom ROMs (Android 4.2+) work with SafeStrap, mind you.

Andy is correct, you can't flash just any ROM with SS. In fact, there are very few SS compatible ROMs out there right now. When or if they release the 4.4 OTA, I'm pretty sure there will a plethora of stock and aftermarket ROMs made available for SS.

[Q] Help please i want to install pac rom so bad

Hello guys I have a NB1 bootloader S4 Running AT&T firmware. The model number is SGH-i337 I am rooted and i have safestrap installed. I still have the stock recovery built into the phone which i can still get into with any method. My question is that I want to install pac rom that runs android 4.4.2 kitkat firmware. Is it possible? I really want this rom bad and anyone who helps me would be greatly appreciated. Right now I am running carHD rom. My phone still works like brand new. I am a big fan of the pac rom and i just got the s4 2 months ago, am i too late to install it?
Peace, Jon

We cannot install any firmware that isn't compatible with our kernel. That means only touchwiz based ones will work.

Only when the bootloader gets unlocked, and it won't be anytime soon.

[Q] Need KK BL

I want the kitkat bootloader to flash a custom rom which requires KK BL. The propblem is that right now i have Carbon Rom on my Razr M and carbon rom requires JB BL. So i downgraded my phone to JB and flashed Carbon Rom. Now i want to flash another ROM which requires KK BL. So guys I need to know how do i get the KK BL? I have to Flash stock SBF of Kitkat through RSD? if so then which XML should i use? As I am on a custom rom i doubt that the stock XML will brick or something like that i just want the KK BL.. anyone who will be willing to help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Notice: My Phone is on JB BL and a custom rom (carbon) is flashed in it right now.

AFAIK, you do have to go through the whole RSD process. Use the official XML. Custom XMLs are for downgrading. Do not worry about bricking - all partitions will be wiped.

Thank you for your reply sir but if you could help me more that would be really appreciated... Can you please paste or copy the XML here which i can use to flash through RSD? i heard that if we dont remove Getvar lines and i guess OEM lines we can get bricked? im really concious about bricking because i cant afford to brick my only phone. if you could give me the XML for flashing offficial KK on a custom rom that would be really appreciated. and also im going to flash the unofficial CM 12 on my Razr M

The only real risk is downgrading firmware not upgrading. All you need to do is flash the stock firmware (with the stock xml) with RSDlite.

Just don't take the OTA, it has bricked few peoples' RAZR M phones already. That's all. And on the safe side, I always omit tz.mbn and gpt.bin as they could wreck the phone if not done carefully.

The latest firmware is posted in the General section, should be pretty easy to find.

thank you so much people for giving your opinions I am gonna flash the stock Sbf through RSD with the stock XML but i will remove tz.mbn and gpt.bin they are the deal breakers i guess. I'll flash it tomorrow morning. I'll post the results ASAP.

SOLVED
okay guys my problem is solved. sorry for late post as i had some personal issues. okay so i did what i said earlier and flashed KITKAT OFFICIAL SBF on my Custom Rom flashed Droid Razr M. The process went flawless so if anyone wants to flash the stock kitkat rom on a custom rom of JB BL they can use the almost stock XML file i just removed some lines.. if anyone wants to cut to the chase and if anyone doesnt wants to edit the XML by their selves and they are afraid of getting bricked or something like me so i am attaching the XML file i used. if anyone is in the situation like me feel free to use this XML. YOU WONT GET BRICKED if you are upgrading your BL. :good:
