First off, I'm no android noob. I'm just not used to the process of installing roms on a Motorola phone. I am currently running the jellybean ota and I am rooted. I want to install this rom here: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/6188-romjb-fat-free-bean-beta/ and it talks about activating a rom slot. Can anyone guide me through getting everything setup and ready to run this rom?

Looking for directions for flashing this over stock rooted .181.
I tried one I found on another site and our did not work.
I've searched, maybe not in the right places, but can't find anything detailed.
Thanks in advanced!
Mods please move to correct forum if this isn't it!

If you had safe strap or boot strap installed before your gonna have to fast boot and try again it works I just did this two days ago. I started over fast booted 181 again then followed directions exactly and it worked. Its not a bad idea to fast boot anyway first that way you know your setup to revert back for upcoming ota.
I had a similar issue, trying to update from GB .181 to ICS 79 leaked rom.
Had to reflash .181 all over again because I had previously uninstalled some VZW crap software from phone (and when trying to flash ICS i got the exclamation point after a while)
Afterwards, root, rom manager, es file explore - permisions, and all went ok
Tried it again. This time was a success! Thanks for all the help!

Does this ROM brings the GSM support in Network Settings????
I think the only one that has it is .206 but once flashed your stuck from returning back to GB.

Not on stock from the DND (diddle-n-drool); you have to install a leak-based ROM like Axiom or Black Widow, which include GUI tools for changing the setting.
Mine is set to "LTE/CDMA/GSM auto prl".
So...Yes, it does.
Global phone, FTW.
Haven't tested it, but it's set to that.
Hey guys, so I purchased my Razr Maxx locally from a guy who has it stock rooted. I currently have the latest 6.12.181 software on there with Android 2.3.6.
With that being said, I would like to unroot the phone to start fresh and I may be sending my phone in for repairs. Can someone please direct me to a tutorial (video or website) that will show me how to do this?
I found this site: http://droidrazrroot.com/droid-razr-unroot/how-to-unrootunbrick-your-rooted-droid-razr-back-to-android-2-3-66-12-173/
But that site is to go back to 6.12.173 which is the older version. Do I follow those steps but with a different file?
Sorry if I sound noobish, but I have never had a Motorola phone before or done any rooting (or unrooting) with one.
Thanks!
You can go to earlier update and it will update to the latest once up and running.

I have been waiting for jellybean for the original RAZR. I am rooted and I have data limit and no wifi. I would download the cyanogen 10 for my RAZR but like I said, data limit of only 4 gb. Any updates you can give me on the JB update for my phone? Currently on ICS 4.0.4

This update work on GSM RAZR XT910 with ICS 4.0.4. It's the sames step describes on the website:
1) **Make sure you are on ICS 4.0.4 AND ROOTED**
2) Plug in your Razr to your PC and move the "Blur_Version.6.16.211.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip " file to your SD card.
3) Download OTA RootKeeper app from the Play Store. (or using option 3 in RazrUtility)
4) Open OTA RootKeeper and select "Restore Root". Then select "Temp. un-root". Then, once again, select "Restore Root", then select Temp Unroot.
5) Power into Recovery mode. Once you see the android with the red triangle, hold vol. up and vol. down buttons.
6) Select "apply update from SD Card">"Choose .zip from SD card"
7) Select the "Blur_Version.6.16.211.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip " file and wait for it to finish. (This will take about 15 min).
8) Power on your Razr and open the OTA RootKeeper app.
9) Click "Restore Root"
10) Enjoy JB with root access

Well searching and following instructions go a long way. There are multiple threads with instructions on how to update. I know because I wrote one. First step is to fastboot back to stock 211 (assuming you're on 211 now.) That will get rid of safestrap.

Why not just flash the JB Kernel and an JB Custom Rom. In that case you can roll back to tge ICS Kernel and don't get in any kind of trouble with Root.

Well my main question that I meant to ask (which I guess I did t make it clear) was, does anybody have and news on jb for the DROID RAZR without flashing anything? Just a legit rom that I guess Motorola makes.

Oh you mean an actual OTA Update? After the accidental OTA, Moto supposedly said that it would be a few weeks before they push an ACTUAL release via OTA. So, with that said, according to Moto we should get an OTA before January is over with.
Thank you! I couldn't remember the letters ota for nothing! That's what I was really asking. Thank you for the information.

why is this one so large and what i ssafestrap? the ics root i used was only a 7mb download.
Safestrap is for making a recovery backup, and flashing etc. its like a multi tool you can also flash roms with it.
That's always been the size?

Yeah use the one the other guy gave you, its large because it has allot of things you need, such as flash factory files, root, install ota keeper, and safestrap which lets you install roms. Its a really good utility, and its the only way you can get root on JB.
Ok. So I have a Droid RAZR original verizon (xt912 I belive) on page plus. I have had someone flash it so it is full 3g so it works on Page Plus. I had it on ICS when it was flashed. Then I updated to the Motorola 4.1.2 Update and I had to get it flashed again. The person who flashed it charges 60 bucks, so it is impossible for me to get this phone flashed again. I have successfully rooted this phone on android 4.1.2. If I install a custom ROM, will I have to flash it again, because I don't want to fork over another 60 bucks. If it does lose page plus 3g, is there an easier way to flash this myself?
Thanks,
VLASP
Yes I have Pageplus and I always flash roms and get everything working with out flashing again. And you didnt have to pay that much! 60 is too much. Google "Droid RAZR on Pageplus" and you will find the tutorial on how to flash it step by step. I flashed it without knowing anything about flashing phones. Good luck!

So those tutorials also work on custom roms? That's nice to know. Thanks! I will try it.

Just flash on stock ROM, and as soon as you install roms it will automatically stay connected you do t have to reflash after each install of a ROM.
