[Q] Please help. Stuck in bootloop after flashing ARCTIC - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hey guys,
So I flashed the Arctic ROM, but now it is stuck on bootloop. I forgot to flash CWM Recovery so from what I have read I have to use FastBoot?
I am using a Droid Razr XT910 EU GSM version.
Any help would be so appreciated!
If I need to use Gsm Xt910 Razr Utility anyone have a mirror to current download link or mediafire link as current one is very slow and will take over 1 day to download!
Thanks again!
SOLVED

Push and hold vol down + vol up & power at the same time for 10 seconds to exit bootloop, push them again to go to boot menu,
Now you can flash your fastboot files

Sorry for noob question. How do I flash fastboot files? Do i need to place on ext SD?
Also do you have a DL link for fastboot files for 2.3.6 EU, cant seem to find.
Many thanks!

How do I set up ADB so Droid Razr is recognized in FastBoot in RSD lite?

ul find it in the Android development section.
the fastboot files u just extract onto computer in a folder of your choice, when u browse using rsd lite ul b looking for the .xml file within that folder.
adb think u can go to motorola website to download the drivers, on your phone go to settings - applications - development - then tick the USB debugging option.
hope it helps!!

C78P radio had some issues & there was a problem with text messaging, this can solve text messaging issues, this Radio is stronger than 78P, also this Radio is from 2.3.6 OTA update,
And yes cheekrox, u can flash it on your rooted stock rom

Your radios can be inserted into the EternityProject ROMs Thread as they, yup, they're unofficial packages, but flashing official radios.
We should only be sure that those packages are working.

Hi there:
I when through and flash the 85P in the Latin America firmware from Brasil that is posted in the forum. The flash apparently did when through, the phone rebooted, enter the recovery mode with the little android, it changed to a triangle with an exclamation sign and later on rebooted just fine and I have signal. In the about phone, the baseband number still appears as the old one. Is that a sign that the flash does not indeed when through, or it is just a build.pro thing. Any code on the dialer to check what baseband is running on the phone??
[Q] # fastboot flash radio new_radio.img ? YES YOU CAN! :)
Is it possible to use Android SDK's tool; fastboot ?
Of course the RAZR is in AP Fastboot mode. . I am only using GNU/Linux and usually I use the fastboot tool to flash my N1's radio.
Example
Code:
# fastboot flash radio new_radio.img
Updates:
YES! I able to flash the radio with the fastboot method.
Anyway, do it at your own risk!.
Thank you.

Sure, you can do that,
After unzipping the file, rename the radio file to "radio.img",
Then go on with "fastboot flash radio radio.img"

I flashed it with fastboot but same thing happen. I got a ok sending and writing radio at cmd and the phone booted to the little android screen. The bar started to fill up, at haft of it the icon changed to a triangle with an exclamation point. After some second it rebooted and in the about I still have the same old baseband information from the Latin American Fastboot file that is here in the forums, not the new one as 85P.

Thank you.
Please add the fastboot method in your 1st post.
2nd question:
Is it possible to downgrade the firmware after installing higher version of the firmware.
Example:
If my current radio firmware version is ...78P and upgraded to 85P. Then, I want to downgrade to 73P again... is this possible?
Tips:
To make life easier, you can put the RAZR directly into AP Fastboot mode using # adb reboot bootloader while the RAZR is up running.
In my case, after the fastbott flash ... RAZR displayed the Android robot and open box, with progress bar. After few minutes, it restarted normally.
Remember to md5sum the radio.img file before flashing. The md5 value is in the .xml file.

I found this one click radio flasher software on a chinese forum
the program itself is in chinese but it is as straightforward as it gets
download the file
unzip
make sure you have the usb drivers installed on your pc
enter AP fastboot mode
connect your phone to your pc
enter 1 for 78P radio 2 for 83P, or 3 for 85P
hit enter
it will start the flashing process (this part will be in english)
it will reboot automatically when its done

[HOWTO] Recover Razr, from bad flash, corrupted ROM using RSD lite and Fastboot

So I have recently Flashed ARCTIC ROM and it all went bad, was stuck and bootloop and forgot to flash CWM recovery, so only had access to Motorola Recovery. After lots of research and time I managed to fix my phone here is how:
PLEAS BE AWARE: This is for GSM Droid Razr XT910, if you are using a CDMA Razr, you will need a different Fastboot file.
Download this fastboot file on your pc & extract the file:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts...stboot.xml.zip
Then download RSD lite from here & install it on your pc:
https://www.box.com/...6p1ll45svunalr3
Install moto drivers on your pc here it is:
https://www.box.com/...it95qz8yjunedrg
*********************
Now open the Rsd lite on pc, browse an XML file that you extracted from fastboot files and put it on rsd,
Turn of your phone, click on vol- vol+ & power buttons at the same time, now you entered to boot menu,
Select Ap fastboot (vol- to scroll & vol+ to select)
Then connect phone to the pc via usb port,
When you see "connected" in rsd lite, click on start key on rsd & be patient to flashing fastboot files, it takes about 7-8 minutes. If you get an error, it means you have the wrong fastboot file, you must have the original fastboot file you had on your phone, ie UK must flash UK fastboot, EU must flash EU version etc.
Thank you zeidof for all your help, who told me how to do this!

How about mac users? I think the do not need drivers right?
If you use safestrap recovery you have a better chance of not bricking your phone. It works awesome and recommend to anybody who flashes roms a lot. Im not too sure if it works for xt910, but it works awesome on my xt912.

Help!!!!!! I think my droid razr is bricked!!!!!

Okay so i fixed the battery problem on my last thread and i got the factory cable and charged it to 100 percent. So i flashed the fastboot file. It worked but it keeps getting to the droid eye and then freezes and then it restarts the boot animation. HELP! what do i do? oh and i have the verizon xt912 razr
You have matching rom and kernel? That usually causes that kind of problems.
Try reset factory defaults with recovery?
Try another suitable fastboot file?
I think that a reset to factory default ll help u.

Hey boet,
Any luck on finding a fastboot file for Korea hey?
Been searching for months
Use RSD Lite and Razr fastboot to restore phone.
Go here: rootzwiki.com/topic/13566-droid-razr-fastboot-file/
download
2.3.6 VRZ_XT912_6.5.1-167_DHD-14_M2-5_CFC_1FF_01.xml.zip
and
RSD Lite 5.6
Extract .zip file. Follow instructions from site above to run RSD Lite with phone in AP Fastboot mode; flash .xml file.
To get into AP Fastboot mode. Hold down both Volume up and Volume down simultaneously. With both volume buttons held down press power button.
Select AP Fastboot with volume down key. Then press volume up key to select AP Fastboot.
*If you get OEM Warning when running RSD Lite. You need to extract .zip file and find .xml file. Open and remove oem lines from file and then re-run in RSD Lite and select .xml file.

fastboot.exe or any fastboot command line tool
and some patience :laugh:
1st - extract droid razr utility and find the mbmloader named " allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm"
2nd - enter fastboot and flash the mbm... here's how
( fastboot.exe flash mbmloader allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin)
3rd - reboot
( fastboot.exe reboot-bootloader)
4th - erase the Contact I.D No.
(fastboot.exe erase cid) (fastboot.exe reboot-bootloader)
of course with a erased CID you'll never be able to turn on your phone into normal mode but still can gain access to fastboot
5th - download and flash the XT912 fastboot file

Are you Encode from twit?
The problem is you flashed an ICS Rom. Try that first:
Boot into stock recovery and perform a factory reset. If it boots, ok. If it doesn't boot you should flash Jelly Bean. Just grab that one from VZW at sbf.droid-developers.org.
DON'T FLASH EU JB! Otherwise you won't be able to DOWNGRADE or switch to another region rom because it has the highest secure version compared to all others.
This is VZW JB: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_spyder/cdma_spyder_9.8.2O-72_VZW-16_1ff.xml.zip

[Q] GSM RAZR - bricked after the OTA

Hello guys,
Let me preface this with the fact that I have been searching this forum for the past hour and could not find anything pertinent for my situation.
I've updated to the latest GSM OTA (the Vodafone EU one) and all was great, decided to reboot my phone and got into a bootloop. I don't have a recovery to boot from and going to be short on battery soon.
The way I see it, I'm stuck with a bricked phone until the RSD package for the OTA is released. Is that correct? am I missing anything?
Can anyone point me to a relevant thread where I can catch a break?
Cheers!

Sent from my XT910 using xda premium
Please tell us how you fixed this, i have same problem but i already screwed it up more by trying to flash back to ics after i was stuck at boot on JB vodafone. Now i have bricked phone and i wait for Fastboot files, which we dont know when will come out
Got the same problem here
Alright, here goes.
I am not responsible to whatever happens to your phones. This process is described for the Vodafone OTA.
Also, you will lose root
I'm guessing your phones are in a constant bootloop right about now. If they are, you have to make sure you still have some battery left so that on AP Fastboot it shows battery OK. If you don't, follow the guides here to get more juice or get a 'factory cable' and charge your phone.
To download:
- Fastboot from here: http://dfiles.eu/files/bih3tmg7b
- OTA kernel (here: http://d-h.st/xat )
- The whole OTA here ON YOUR SDCARD
- original ICS RSD Image here
Process:
Extract the fastboot somewhere accessible like c:/fastboot
Extract the kernel and the original ICS files on your desktop
Copy the OTA kernel (boot_3.0.8-g7198280) to your c:/fastboot folder
Copy 'system_signed' from the original ICS archive to your fastboot folder
Open the command prompt (search for cmd.exe in your programs)
Navigate to c:/fastboot (use "cd .." to excape a folder and "dir" to list the files in a folder )
Go to AP fastboot on your phpne and do the following from the command prompt:
fastboot flash boot boot_3.0.8-g7198280.img
fastboot flash system system_signed
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now restart your phone and enter recovery the normal way volUp+volDown + power button then select Recovery, then volUp+volDown to see the menu.
Do a factory reset
Flash the OTA (that should be on your card)
Reboot
Ta-da!

Alright, here goes.
I am not responsible to whatever happens to your phones. This process is described for the Vodafone OTA.
Also, you will lose root
I'm guessing your phones are in a constant bootloop right about now. If they are, you have to make sure you still have some battery left so that on AP Fastboot it shows battery OK. If you don't, follow the guides here to get more juice or get a 'factory cable' and charge your phone.
To download:
- Fastboot from here: http://dfiles.eu/files/bih3tmg7b
- OTA kernel (here: http://d-h.st/xat )
- The whole OTA here ON YOUR SDCARD
- original ICS RSD Image here
Process:
Extract the fastboot somewhere accessible like c:/fastboot
Extract the kernel and the original ICS files on your desktop
Copy the OTA kernel (boot_3.0.8-g7198280) to your c:/fastboot folder
Copy 'system_signed' from the original ICS archive to your fastboot folder
Open the command prompt (search for cmd.exe in your programs)
Navigate to c:/fastboot (use "cd .." to excape a folder and "dir" to list the files in a folder )
Go to AP fastboot on your phpne and do the following from the command prompt:
fastboot flash boot boot_3.0.8-g7198280.img
fastboot flash system system_signed
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Now restart your phone and enter recovery the normal way volUp+volDown + power button then select Recovery, then volUp+volDown to see the menu.
Do a factory reset
Flash the OTA (that should be on your card)
Reboot

Preflash validating failure
when writing the system_signed to the device

That's weird. Prolly the flash was messed up somewhere..
Try this before "fastboot flash boot boot_3.0.8-g7198280.img":
extract recovery_signed and allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin from the ICS folder and put them into the fastboot folder
do this
fastboot flash mbm allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed
Let me know if that works

Well i give you thumbs up and thanks for you helping hand, however it still doesnt work gives preflashvalidation failure on system_signed flashing. If you have some more ideas it would be really nicce to try, meanwhile i think we will just have to wait for fastboot files. Verizon version for xt912 got FF already maybe we will get ours in a week or so.
Use this method .. Hsd pilot again nailed it to save our asses ..
It should definatly unbrick your mobile because i tried it on same version and i am back on jellybean ..

Didn't work for me. Flashing went fine but when trying to enter recovery I get "Invalid Flash Mode (S) (Boot Failure)

For your information, I managed to unbrick my phone. Problem seemed to be my CID.IMG. After erasing it, I could enter recovery and installl JB from ext-sdcard. Now I have to use BP Tools tools to boot, because as soon as I restore CID, the device doesn't boot.
Really strange, because my phone is actually from Europe (d/a/ch), Switzerland. Maybe it's due to the fact that I switched to the chinese JB Ota leak before updating to the EU leak.
