Hi friends,
Here's my situation, would be very happy if any of you can give me some advice on how to solve this.
1. My stock romslot can no longer boot. I also cannot restore Nandroid to it. Looks like /int is gone.
2. My 2nd romslot also won't boot DWiz JBX rom so I'm stuck with BBM
3. What I am trying to do is clean up stock romslot and 2nd romslot, then install retail China version on stock romslot and then maybe install a 2nd custom rom on system2 (2nd romslot). Haven't decided because it's so much trouble.
4. I've been using BMM all along. Didn't touch Fastboot, adb or Safestrap (in fact, I only know how to use BMM...)
Finally, any guide to restoring the whole phone back to the beginning? (unroot, restore kernel, rom etc)
Thanks!

Use rsd lite to flash firmware and factory reset it in the stock recovery

Hello everyone
That's my first message here and i'm a new user of android.
I installed CM9 rom on the stock using BBM and then I uninstalled the recovery, and installed SafeStrap 3.05 recovery in order to install D-Wiz on rom-slot. After installing it I couldnt open the stock. the stock is always stuck in the loading status ( with cat icon of CM9).
I installed SafeStrap and D-Wiz as it is mentioned in this forum but maybe (I dont remember correctly) I wiped cache, dalvik cache and factory reset of the stock.
D-Wiz rom works fine but I have this problem with the stock. If you think I'll have to wipe everything I dont have problem with that. I just want to have my stock working and that's all.
guys, if my english isn't understood so tell me and i'll fix it.
anyway I really need your help here.
AW: RAZR XT910 cant run the stock
When your Stock Rom is an CM9 based Rom you need BMM to boot it with 2nd-init. Your problem is, that you've uninstalled BMM and installed SS.
To boot your Stock System with Safestrap you have to run an Stock Rom or Stock based Custom Rom on it.
So Fastboot back to Stock by using RSD or try to uninstall SS and install BMM 0.3.2 while you're booted into your Rom Slot.
After this you should be able to boot your Stock System (CM9)
Charge your Battery and have your Fastboot Files ready, just in case it doesn't work.

Hey guys!
I have some problems with Safestrap Recovery on my XT910
Also, i can't install it normally. My phone is running CM10.1.3 with BootMenu Manager recovery
I was twice trying to install SS, but i usually have an unbootible device, that can't boot to system. What i must to do to install this recovery/
I want to install it to flash CM11, cause i don't want to change any files it bulds of CM to install it via BMM
I was trying to install SS3.65_umts_spyder.apk
I'm not positive, but I'm reasonably certain you need to boot back to stock, then make sure you have completely uninstalled BMM (and any versions of SS that may have been previously installed) and then try installing SS from stock ROM. If that still doesn't work then you probably need to do a complete reinstall of stock, unroot, then install SS3.65 (again do this from stock). Good luck.

I'm not an expert, but I think the phone still tries to boot to stock ROM first, but safestrap intercepts the process and forces the phone to then boot to the custom ROM.
Therefore, installing safestrap from any custom ROM like cm11 won't work (even though it may actually install). To get safestrap to work properly it must be installed from stock ROM.

Hi, i've faced the following issue:
Phone: RAZR XT910
Firmware: OTA ICS 4.0.4, 673.94.328.XT910.PSHAsiaRetail.en.03
Root
SS v.3.72
After installing SS, on first enter in SS was made full backup of stock ROM.
After that (have no idea why) reboot in stock slot caused animated M-logo loop.
Hard reboot allows to get in SS. Stock ROM backup was restored to slot 1 and booted successfully.
So the phone alive, but on slot 1, and stock slot seems to be unfunctional.
Tried to recover backup in stock slot, but it boots to the mentioned M-logo loop.
I want to get the stock slot back)
Should I try to reinstall SS (can mess slot 1 boot?), Or try stock recovery, or try to install custom ROM to the stock slot, or something else?
I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks..

I would recommend a clean slate. Flash to stock and start all over. Thats usually what I do.

Do you mean flash using RSD lite?

Yes thats what to do. Anyway once you make a backup, create another slot and install a custom rom and use that slot
Thanks for reply. I think my problem is solved. I wiped stock rom slot and installed CN 11. It has booted successfully.
Hello All,
I rooted and installed safestrap. Then took a backup, installed open_gapps. I can not access my OS, as it's stuck in language selection screen in Google Wizard.
Is there anyway to roll back and install the stock rom again.
Thank you
Which Safestrap version do you have installed? Can you still access Safestrap recovery? Do you have the backup on the HDX?
If you have a backup of the stock slot, you should be able to restore it. Note that you MUST NOT restore a backup of a secondary slot to the stock slot! Would brick the device.
And don't wipe system in Safestrap, especially if you use Safestrap v3.7x!

Hello all,
I need some help with this old phone. It's been sitting in a drawer for a while, and I haven't touched it for like a year at least. Apparently back then I had dual-booted stock and another ROM using BMM (Bootmenu Manager). Well now I need to use it and I thought the best thing to do would be fastboot flash the stock ROM, so I did that from the bootloader and it didn't change anything. So I went into BMM and deleted the second ROM (in slot 3), then did a factory reset on the stock ROM through fastboot.
Now I can't get any slots to work besides stock, and the stock ROM has zero bytes available for user data. meaning I can't install the BMM app to remove BMM.
When trying to use another slot, I can create the virtual partitions, but after a reboot it can't find them anymore...
