ok I just got a razor m on ebay.
it was on JB
I rooted it with towelroot3
unlocked the boot loader with motopocolypse
but the recoveries I see are for kitkat.
i did a check for software updates and it found one and down loaded it successfully
updated is successfully and i am not on
system version 98.18.78.xt907.verizon.us
android version 4.1.2
kernel 3.0.31-g101ca72
build 9.8.1q-78
your device is up to date!
all the recoveries are i find kikat
my goal is to get this to cm12 or at least cm11
so I think I need to get to kitkat should I just get cm11 and flash the whole thing. is that right.
Wrong. You can't get CM11 installed without a proper recovery, and since you don't know where to get a JB recovery, I advise simply going for KitKat.
Use RSD Lite to flash this thing up to stock KitKat (you've unlocked your BL already so don't worry), then do the recovery stuff as you know. More guides are available in the General sticky post.
Remember, once you get to stock KitKat, any ROM you flash from then on should be for "moto_msm8960" instead of "moto_msm8960_jbbl". Especially for CM11 and CM12.

before you posted I had already installed the latest cm 11 for the razr M (not the unified one) and it seems to work fine for the 12 hours I had it.
but I followed your recommendation anyway.
i couldn't get rsd lite to work but I just extracted the images from the zip and used the xml to create a proper bat script to mfastboot them manually
that got me to kitkat while still being unlocked bootloader just like i expected. (its nice not to be a total noob)
then i found out the speaker on the back (behind the broken glass which i planned to replace) didn't work.
headphone and earpeice work fine vibration work fine.
it will go up on ebay, or i will keep it for some other use.

Man!!! READ forum before posting!!
I did not realize you were boot locked.
Before this thread gets moved or deleted: you must tell us that whether you have unlocked your bootloader. If you haven't unlocked it, then you're stuck with SafeStrap and you should give up on ANY AND ALL custom ROMs beyond Android 4.2. Otherwise, if you have an unlocked BL, just fastboot flash a custom recovery and flash any ROM from there.
And stop posting the same question everywhere!

Sounds like you tried to flash some ROMs that aren't compatible with SS.

You're telling me I can run 4.2 roms in safestrap with a 4.1.2 base?
The only 4.2 ROM that worked was a CM10 port. It's running around in this forum somewhere.
You mean CM10.1(4.2)? or CM10 (4.1.2)

No, I mean everything Android 4.2+ will not run, including 4.2, 4.2.1, 4.2.2 and so on. I should've been clearer when describing. Just try that CM10 (Android 4.1.x).

There was a 10.1 in development for SS, but the BL unlock came out and they shifted focus away from SS.

I've spent some time looking around, it sounds like I need to make a number of changes to switch from:
TWRP 2.5 and Beanstalk (4.2 base) to say TWRP 2.71 and CyanogenMod 11 (4.4.X base) or TWRP 2.71 and Carbon (Nightly)
It sounds appears that I need a new bootloader before I can even install TSRP 2.7 and I assume I will also need a new radio, however I have not seen it layed out clearly, so I wanted to ask before I started the process.
Thanks,
ERIC
Yes... Go ahead and rsd up to the latest update and all that...if you encounter any errors using rsd or flashing twrp let us know...

Hi,
I just got a new phones so I decided it'd be cool to root my old RAZR M. I got the root and unlocked bootloader, and then I went in to try and install a custom rom. It ended failing and it gets stuck on the "WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED" screen. I'm able to go into fastboot and recovery.
I did some looking around, and I found that you can use RSD to get stock ROMs back. I tried downloading the 4.4.2 ROM from here, but it for some reason ends up going down to 0b/s and then says network error, so I tried the 4.1.2. It downloaded, and i went in using RSD to flash it, but it says that gpt_main0.bin failed and it stops. Since I did that, whenever I go into recovery it just freezes and I can't do anything.
Anyone have any idea what I can do to either get the 4.1.2 one working and root that or get the 4.4.2 one downloaded and try that?
Thanks
EDIT: Got 4.4.2 loaded back and did research and got CM11 loaded. Thanks anyways!
Please tell us what stock version you're on and what recovery and ROM you installed. It sounds like you've combined a JB BL ROM with a KK BL phone or vice versa.

I'm on 4.4.2 stock, the recovery I have is TWRP. I tried to install CarbonRom. I guess i should have done more research for ROMs.
Also, I've been able to keep a download of stock 4.4.2 rom going and it's ~85% done so I'm hoping it's able to finish this time.
EDIT: Got 4.4.2 downloaded and installed using RSD. Going to get it all rooted again. Does CyanogenMod 11 work with version 183.46.10.XT907.Verizon.en.us?
Thanks

Yes it does, however CM11 for KK BL (moto_msm8960) still has these nasty WiFi and GPS bugs. If you want a bug-free CM11, you'll have to follow the guide in General section to downgrade to JB (98.30.1) and then flash CM11 for JB BL (moto_msm8960_jbbl). Don't worry, if you've unlocked your BL, then nothing would relock it, not even downgrading.

My question is Why does the Pac Man rom only work on my phone, i have tried cw11, avatar, slim kat, omnirom, and etc. None of them worked but pac man rom. I even tried twrp and cwm. Currently using twrp. When i install the rom it goes through and stops at updating partition or either status errors i even tried to edit the script file. Please help me out Android to Android.
Can't tell what exactly is happening, but make sure your recovery is up-to-date (CWM >6.0.4.x, TWRP >2.6.3.x). Also match ROMs with their corresponding BLs (JB BL/KK BL).
Please offer more info, e.g. what BL are you on, what ROMs are you trying to flash (filename) and what status error message are you getting.

Maybe flash stock KK via RSD and then start everything over (back up internal storage first)? I'm out of clues.

Ha I tried that to I got another ROM working liquid smooth.
I think my problem was not downloading roms fit for kk bl
Lol thanks you still.
So I went to flash the new version of CM12 onto my Razr M xt905. During the flash I got an error straight away "This package is for devices with 4.4 bootloader". So now I can't upgrade to 5.0.. My question is how do I update my boot loader to 4.4?

I see that you have blisspop (Sent from my RAZR M on BlissPop Lollipop 5.0.2 from Tapatalk) installed which I might try however is this the correct thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr-m/development/rom-blissstalk-team-bliss-t2917423
I can see that there is a DL link for "MOTO_MSM8960 (JBBL)" which I have 2 questions for:
1) Is this Andriod 5.0?
2) Is it compatible for the XT905?
EDIT: I installed it however once I boot into the OS I get several errors such as 'Unfortunately setup wizard has stopped"

That is BlissStalk, not BlissPop. BlissPop is on droidrzr.com. yes it's 5.0 (as stated in my signature) and it should work since your on a moto msm device.
Edit: not sure about compatibility since the xt905 uses a different radio I believe since it's Australian. Ask the dev

Any fix for this?
Even I have an XT905, and from what i have searched on the net, an official kitkat update hasnt come for xt905.
What can be done to get the latest boot files, so that I can flash the latest custom roms, almost all are based out on KITKAT
You would need a KitKat compatible modem for the XT905. And as you already mentioned, it's not available yet.
But it's still possible to use XT907 ROMs for the JB bootloader.
I am using BlissPop on XT905. You just need to download the "jbbl" version. The first boot takes some time so be patient.
It is buttery smooth and battery life is awesome.
Radio is on separate partition and is not flashed by BlissPop
