unless I found a way to downgrade the cdt.bin, it's going to be a game over for my razr.

My recovery journey.

Now it can pass the bootloader, then black screen for a while.

Then it reboot into recovery. (is kernel panic & reboot? or radio kernel??)

Things I know,

-xt909 partition layout is exactly like xt912 (based on cdt.bin analysis)

-xt909 happen to share same cid with china xt910 (4 is for China/India/Japan)

-xt912 secure version is still 3, while xt909 & xt910 is upgraded to 4.

-cid can be flash/erase by allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin

Things I've done,

- flash china xt901 cdt.bin (same cdt level, same cid info)

- flash china system.img (No more Invalid sp data)

- erase cache, erase userdata, erase cid, erase kpanic

- flash boot.img, recovery.img, dev_tree.bin

Things to find out,

-what partition hold the partition table? cdt.bin just hold the offset for signature address.

-why Razr cdt.bin can't be downgraded. Atrix2 (same omap4340) can downgrade cdt.bin by using older bootloader (back to gb)

Looks like you used the same method to unbrick it.

Now you should find a way to flash a xt912/910China recovery

NO need to ungrade cdt.bin

EDIT:

the RADIO problem , that's it.

You should flash the proper radio to solve the problem.

And can you flash system from china fastboot to get it bootet? And be aware of the latest Chinese kernel. It can't be rooted but downgraded.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] waterballoon:
i seem to have screwed up...

i came from the Magicmod ROM, then i decided to switch to antoher ROM. but when installing Magicmod the 1st time, the phone had a message to say BootMenu will be erased/uncomptabile (i didn't get to read it in time) from the ROM. So I installed the app again this time from the market, and got a message on the app that i don't have enough storage to install bootmenu, and i need to clear my data/partiition or something.

i ignored it, and went straight to reboot into recovery. now my razr is on the motorola start menu with the dual core technology, and the LED lgiht is turned on in blue and nothing happens from there. i tried soft reseting many times but it seems it will get into the blue LED light screen and stay there. is this a bootloop? any way i can restore this?

[Motorola Droid RAZR] lazer9:
Ok. Back to this. Things seemed to have worked as I was able to get my original ROM restored to 1st system

& Add a Cyanogen Mod to 2nd system with 1/3 of my apps restored selectively via TIBU since the first whirl, it hung at about 45% trying to grab all of them.

Here is my confusion. The .Zip file: system@webtop-data@sdcard.zip - [Click for QR Code] that was noted at the bottom of this post, I have no idea per the steps above where it was/is to be used and for what?

The one in Red is the only step I could determine to do regarding the attached zip file(S).

You have to enter in fastboot mode:

press and hold power button and both volume buttons, when the screen turn black repeat this till the bootloader screen, then push the vol - to fastboot mode and select with the vol + button.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] waterballoon:
thanks so much! can u also tell me what color the LED light should flash when entering fastboot mode?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] whirleyes:
Thank you guys.. no more xt909

Still haven't decide what to get for daily usage... didn't expect to bricked this year(someday yes :p)

I think I'll better get a xt910 for dev usage. Most people who donated were xt910 user.

Plus, I'm leaving japan few months from now, so no need for a cdma phone.

Maybe later, if I can find a good deal on a bad esn xt912 + crack screen, I'll swap parts from this phone.

My bricked recovery status.

I can't get the recovery to update gb files to ics.. still get black screen after boot logo

I wish i have adb access at this point... but noo

+ Erase cid... success

+ Flash xt912 gb system.img (cdt 2)... success

+ Flash patched xt912 ICS boot & recovery (cdt 3).. success

+ Flash xt912 preinstall (no security).. success

+ Boot to recovery & try to apply ICS update.zip... success

+ Verify all file is good... success (it proceed to update stage)

+ flash bp.img.. success

+ flash lte.img.. failed (Obviously I don't have lte radio)

recovery stops with error 7.

No files were actually patch as that only happen after successful bp & lte flashing.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Jack'O:
I can't, but i think that do not matter.

Once sterted rsd-lite and selected the right image to flash, plug your razr and when recognized clik the start button.

That's all.

[RECOMMENDED]

1. Use factory USB Link

2. Fastboot -> BP Mode -> USB Link -> Charge Battery

Fastboot: Hold

enter Fastboot Mode

BP Mode: Fastboot Mode status hold

Great news!

I managed to restore my phone using xt912 system.img, after retry using this info from 19lilsaiNt68. Thread link

I tried the file before, but I didn't boot with bp-tools, that's why I got only black screen.

I'm glad I manage to restore it within the battery limit.

I'll let it recharge until full & try to restore my on dd backup. (from adb)

Then I'll try to restore my cid.

Thank you all, I'll use the money you all donated to get FrAsErTaG phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dtrail1:
That means your battery is low :) let it charge for two hours (NOT with USB on PC! Use the charger!) and check if it shows "battery OK". If not, be sure your device is in fastboot mode and power off by pressing the power button short. Now plug in charger and wait for the battery animation to come up. If that doesn't happen you'll need a factory cable or adapter to flash software to your phone.

Why would you not get a 912? You get the better battery (more deving per charge :) ) and with a gsm sim card you can do gsm work but you will have lte and cdma to work with which for me would be appreciated because there is a huge lack of cdma support out there.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] raziel23x:
Yea I have been digging through sts-dev-team source code.

https://github.com/sts-dev-team

They have had some interesting changes so far these past few days.

Also there is another group working on there own version of the RAZR as well called Android Developer Alliance

https://github.com/AndroidDeveloperAlliance

I have been following both of them also trying to make a hybrid of the two in a way. Basically trying to make a RAZR ROM version which comes with BootMenu patched out of the box without breaking what they are trying to accomplish.

Right now I am having to try and figure out the compiling errors I have since I am using kubuntu not Ubuntu because I do not like the Ubuntu IDE. Heck I can't even get TMobile Theme Engine to compile so it had to do with missing libraries that I am trying to track down once I Getty it working that should also fix the compiling issues with the ROM as I had no trouble with Ubuntu 10 but that will not run my system due to it can't detect my hardware.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] whirleyes:
Just notice that ebr & cdt.bin I flashed from CN xt910 assign only 128kb for webtop partition. No wonder my internal storage become 9.3GB.

Slightly older CN ebr & cdt.bin still have webtop at 1.3Gb, internal 8Gb.

Should I revert or start using internal 9.3GB as storage pool for BMM?

any news on new EU razr with 9.3Gb internal storage?? or new razr that can't flash webtop??

Start using internal as the pool. That way we can get away from the midget partition of the webtop which obviously is dieing out with the next ota's

I too had a Sensation up to last month and I switched to 4ext a long time ago: definitely much better than CWM. Whirleyes, should you look into a different codebase, I would give 4ext a try (if it's possible, obviously!)
