Hi,

tried to use RSD Lite and then switch to the tool for step 2 onwards, but without success:

the downgrade fails.

A bit strange is that in RSD my device is found, but all details of it are marked "N/A" (so as if recognized without being recognized....).

Any ideas what happened?

For info:

* latest Motorola drivers installed

* RSD Lite 6.1.4

* Original SFR rom 4.0.4 downloaded from XDA

thanks for the help ;)
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] mnkurk1989:
First off you need the original droid razr hd sbf fastboot file for rsd lite and have either rsd 6.0 or a more recent version i am running 6.1.4. You will need too extract this fastboot file and

look for the original XML document it look like this VZW_XT926_4.0.4-7.7.1Q-144_VQW_S3-34-25_CFC open this with up with notepad and delete both lines that GETVAR is in. You need to delete the whole thing including GETVAR and make sure you move rest of the document back up by pressing backspace till everything looked the same except that the lines with GETVAR are gone. Remember to delete the whole everything in front on GETVAR and behind the whole thing. Save notepad before exiting and exit your explorer and exit and restart rsd leave the sbf folder extracted just like you have it and the XML document you just made changes to you need to guide rsd lite to that file instead of extracted like usual. Dont know why its like this but it just is. This should solve you problems.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] flying_dutchman:

Mattlgroff,

Any chance of "creating" a tool where the user can insert his OEM ROM image (from the related posts here on XDA)? This would then mean that all version XT926/925 would be supported.

(FYI: still stuck with earlier mentioned issues through RSD)

cheers,
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] mattlgroff:
Since partitions are not always the same, and troubleshooting would be a nightmare, I am going to refrain from it. Certainly anyone is welcome to modify it how they like for any device they want.

Things to be aware of:

Always follow the order of steps the original XML did to be safe.

Rename files or fix their naming in the .bat file.

Not all partitions are the same for each phone.

Never use with low battery...etc.

I let users on the Atrix HD use the XT926 Utility how they pleased and helped them with it, but I don't have to lead another troubleshooting thread :highfive:

They simply just had to drag and drop their fastboot XML files, and it worked fine. Simple renaming to Atrix HD Utility...and its done lol

PS: Verizon DROID models are nice, since there is only one branding and signatures to worry about. XT925 has countless editions! (Although, unlocked bootloader certainly makes it easier...)
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] triton302:
Alright, I'm lost on this.

I ran the utility and went back to 4.0.4, rooted, OTA root keeper loaded, updated to JB, now nothing will work. Phone won't let me have root access, Safestrap keeps FC'ing, nothing. This is the biggest pain in the ass I've dealt with in a while.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] GoClifGo05:
Did you do it like this...

1. Restore 4.0.4.

2. Go to settings - about phone - updates and take the small 6mb update

3. Root

4. Voodoo protect, temp unroot

5. Update JB

6. Voodoo restore root.

7. Install Safestrap

I don't want to make a DUMB MISTAKE....

I just came from a RAZR MAXX to a RAZR MAXX HD.....

If i read this correctly, YOU CAN go back to ICS from JELLY BEAN with a RAZR MAXX HD using this tool ???

I know you can't with the OG MAXX, but you can with the HD ???

Thanks for reading my dumb question...

Hi, once again me & still having issues flashing...

downloaded again the 4.0.4 from XDA, unzipped, deleted the "getvar", compared code with the example above (& aligned it) & started flashing. Flash blocks on :

Ulitity worked very smooth. I couldn't get it to recovery. RootKeeper doesn't indicate root or root permission.

---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

I first tried to root a razr m, verizon, basic phone. 2 months going nowhere, erasing & restoring all the personal data & apps. nothing. 4 different but, similar methods. root-android.com has the best for that but, not on my phone. It was what I would describe as half rooted. I threw it away and got this razr hd dev edition from moto with them telling me that when I unlocked the bootloader the phone would be considered rooted. Even after this ulitity the only thing that has changed is a downgraded OS. What stayed the same; all the apps, add-ons and, data are all gone.

Can you tell me why this is so difficult to do on these phones?

---------- Post added at 12:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 AM ----------

I can use the fastboot.exe that I have as part of the developers kit. I have something else root-android.com had me get from a site.

What would be the command line to force a proper recovery as per your process?

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:56 AM ----------

I have the Android SDK Manager accessing all the versions of the android systems, and Visual VM a java troubleshooting.

Can I use these to finish this and how? Not the Visual VM but, the SDK Manager?
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] jabeth407:
I messed with it as much as I can. the safestrap stops itself or the system stops it when it boots, i was thinking that would be where the recovery was to come through. rootkeeper doesn't have anything to keep according to it. I've tried a couple of times, same results. I hate that OS it is downgraded to. what is it 4.0.4, it's listed in the SDK manager's android packages. Why is this so complex?, trap the processor, change the root permission bit, replace the system files with custom, untrap the processor, reboot. What prevents that root permission from being changed? Shouldn't the fastboot process have access to it? I noticed commands in fastboot that aren't listed on it's screen. motorola uses 'em with it's process to unlock the bootloader. for example; it uses a fastboot 'unlock' PHONE_KEY command to unlock the phone. they call phone_key a unique_key but, you get the picture. they also use an 'oem' command to push out the bootstrap code.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] jabeth407:
Another Failure

Must be some secret code to root the devices that come through my hands. The RAZR M from verizon was guaranteed, bull. brand new, threw that away. The RAZR HD developer edition from verizon was doubly guaranteed, brand new, still have it. Must be some secret code. I can't even tell ANY difference whatsoever in the locked & unlocked bootloader position. I don't find ANY benifit or detrimet from having the 'developer edition phone'. phony!

I still can't seem to get ANY answers as to how the root is set, why can't the root be changed, what set it in the first place, how can updates be made without resetting it, etc..

Who's spamming? Is that code for asking hard questions?

Back to this Utility

It always runs smooth. I did the utility's process and it failed. I upgraded back to 4.1.1 from the 4.0.4 the utility needs for root. I read some more, and noticed in the other root thread this forum a comment about not having a root exploit for 4.1.1. I reran the utility after a factory reset, I don't think that mattered. Root Android has a batch file setup similar to the one contained here. When I got to #2; the exploit failed, partially. I reran it; a different failure resulted. I ran the foreign exploiter; it failed, similar to other attempts to root a RAZR M. I reran step #2, failed, the other one, failed. Back and forth about a dozen times. After the 3rd or 4th attempt, I installed #3. A couple of exploit attempts later I installed #4. That would have been about half way through the dozen attempts to exploit. Sometimes I ran the same exploit 2 or 3 times before switching to the other one.

Success!!! Poof! just like that, didn't change anything I had done a dozen times prior, it just took the root. All the apps change. Now I have POWER! Obviously there are some mild platform conflicts that can be overcome with repetition.

Hi...I just got my Verizon Droid RAZR HD (XT926) and downloaded the DROID RAZR HD Utility v1.10 to my pc desktop running win7 x64 and unzipped it. After reading the entire thread I am confused about the first step of reverting to ICS 4.0.4. I am currently running v4.1.1 of JB. Prior to running steps 1, 2, and 3, do I need to be in fastboot mode or do I just plug in the phone to my pc using the usb data cable w/usb debugging and MTP and run options 1 - 3 ???

Thanks, in advance and great work on the software root exploit!
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] stert23:
i ran version 1.10 step one

it ran ok and then "press any key when the screen comes back on".....but the screen just stayed on the ap fastboot screen.....so i waited and waited thinking something would happen. nothing happened

now my phone jams while turning on. if i return to ap fastboot it says:

device is locked. status code:0

i dont even know where to start. any help would be appreciated!

thanks!
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] mattlgroff:
These are not steps to be done in any certain order, this is just the layout of the program.

Yes you need to be in fastboot mode for Option 1 (Fastboot to ICS) and if it errors on the screen its not going to work either. If you did not extract the .zip file then do so to a new folder on your Desktop, and install the drivers if you have not done so previously.

Make sure your battery life is 100% before attempting these, unless you have a factory-style programming cable or adapter (they are sold here).
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] mattlgroff:
I can't do much without you sharing what the Utility said in the window.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] stert23:
so the previous reply that said to install the drivers helped me (i did not install them)

so i went into the drivers folder and installed the first 32 bit one

but

the second 64 bit driver wont install on my computer. i get an error that says:

"this installation package is not supported by this processor type. contact your product vendor"

wtf. do i need both drivers?

thank you guys
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] Deckard_9732:
Thank you for answering my question...I greatly appreciate it!!!

I have the Android SDK, Moto Drivers installed on my computer and the DROID RAZR HD Utility 1.10 unzipped on my desktop. I checked if it was working by running "adb reboot bootloader" and it recognized my device and went to the bootloader screen. I also can access the AP Fastboot in the menu. I have the factory cable and am at 100% battery capacity. My only concern is that I do not have the dev version of the razr hd but I hope I still can get full root?

You don't need the developer edition to root... this works on all XT926 phones.

[RAZR HD Original Android Development] stert23:
so i tried running the utility without downloading the drivers in the folder first

it got stuck at the step where it tells you to hit any key to continue when the screen comes back on

it just boot loops

so then i downloaded the 32 bit drivers (wouldnt let me dl the 64 bit ones) and reran the utility. it ran all the way through and prompted me to whipe the data, which i did. i restarted my phone and it still boot loops.

what else can i try?

can i take it to a verizon store for help?

i dont know what other info to give but ill gladly provide any that you need

Thanks!
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] wooddale:
Im not sure what you did to your phone but it doeznt sound like it is bricked. If it was never rooted your best bet is to bring it back to Verizon. They will think you just did something stupid and give you a new phone. Worst case if they no you jacked it they will just give it back to you. Like I said I doubt your phone is bricked your just not doing something right or your computer or cables or something is screwed up. Dont give up

Safestrap Utility

I believe the safestrap utlity is interfering with getting my phone back up to JB. I can't get to the next level of upgrade on ICS.

I've uninstalled it but, it's embedded in another area on the OS rom.

How can I get that back off? I temp unroot, try the upgrade (0.7.?.??) the one right before JB offered from manufact, it fails.

I don't want to loss root not after all I've had to do to get it. Will your process to rewrite the rom remove the safestrap?
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] wooddale:
Idont think your supposed to have even been in safestrap until your already rooted in JB. Looks like your best bet is to start over and read the instructions.

[RAZR HD Original Android Development] jabeth407:
Yes i'm beginning to see that. I did start over & rooted. Upgraded to 0.7.2.en, regained the root rerunning #2. Upgraded to 0.9.?.end(JB) lost the root. Started over. I'm at ics 0.7.2. Rooted with ota rootkeeper helping.

I'm looking towards upgrading the from through rom manager forcing an update from the external. Or force it myself through the bootloader.

do I have a possibilty to flash XT925 instead of XT926?

I'm having difficulty rooting. I was able to restore to ICS just fine, but when attempting to root, I get the following:

'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

I'm running windows 8 64-bit, if that makes a difference. I've extracted to several different locations (c:, downloads, desktop) to no avail. I've confirmed I have the updated drivers and I was able to restore just fine.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] dvgb173:
You have to run adb commands from the directory adb.exe is in.

Or put it in your path statement.

[RAZR HD Original Android Development] D-Flo:
I can see adb.exe in the folder I've extracted to my desktop, which is where I'm launching the .bat file. Should I have extracted it in the platform-tools folder of sdk? Sorry for the noobish questions... have rooted mostly Sammie phones recently.
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] mattlgroff:
Yeah all this means is that your .bat file cannot see the other files. Windows 8 CAN make a difference if you have it not set to be able to execute adb.exe or fastboot.exe.

Utility worked great.

Updated SU binaries. saved in Rootkeeper. did the temp unroot. but i keep getting error messages when trying to take the OTA update.

What option do I have now?
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] D-Flo:
I went into control panel and changed user account settings to the lowest level, so .exe files can run without prompting. I then pulled up task manager, launched the utility and selected option 2 to root. I can see adb launches and runs (2) 32-bit sessions while the utility is running. It's now simply responding with "waiting for device". Anything else I can try?

I cannot get the 6mb OTA update either. I get the same message? anyone know what to do to help?
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] D-Flo:
I've received the same message since yesterday when trying to pull the JB update. I was able to pull the small ICS update Sunday. Possible this is a Verizon issue making the file available?
[RAZR HD Original Android Development] amwenguer:
This seems is a common problem with anyone who tried rooting in the last few days. I'm surprised you even got the small update. But that's the one I can't find. The ota jb is all over the place and you can manually flash that one.

But without the 6mb ics update.. no dice. So whoever finds it, let me know. Think I found the complete package (275mb). Which I'll try to push in recovery followed by the jb rom.

If that doesn't work I'll download and figure out SQL lite

OR

Would it be possible to simply keep this stock rooted ics rom on stock rom slot of safe strap and then download jellybean roms and put them on the others?

Maybe no need to even take this ota updates that aren't working.
