[Droid RAZR M Android Development] matthew1429:
I am successfully in CM and here are the issues I ran across with answers for those of you who have yet to stumble across this thread.

Questions I had from reading this thread and their answers:

1. GPS works? Flawlessly - tested it today

2. Camcorder works? Again, I'm good here

3. DO NOT START PROCESS UNLESS YOU HAVE, FOR SAFETY, Phone charged at 70%

4. How do you install CM10? I'd recommend this order.

a) install matt's razr m script version 1.2 (explained below) either on your windows/mac/or linux pc http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2249773

b) install motorola's latest drivers and rsd lite (all subdirectories in the above script's zip file

c) make sure that "usb debugging" is allowed by going into the settings portion of your Razr M

d) do not I repeat do not and once again DO NOT start this process with a phone charge below 70% or you will have headaches.

e) I'm assuming you know how to backup everything on your phone (contacts to google, etc)

f) Download the latest functional builds of cm10 and gapps for the razr http://androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/cm/ http://goo.im/gapps

g) Toss these said links on your phone's mSD card

h) open Matt's script above, and start by using the MOTOCHOPPER root option to get rooted.

i) you must also unlock your bootloader, I used the script's "motopacalypse" option

j) Next, I'd recommend TWRP as your recovery... CWM is fine, but most folks write support articles found by Google in TWRP

k) Reboot into TWRP // and doing this helped me get through an issue where CM10 never got past the boot animation // WIPE ALL CACHE SYSTEM AND DATA FILES (you've backed this up, before doing this, right?)

l) from within TWRP, install cm10, and then install gapps

m) I then did a *228 and an OTA roaming update to ensure I got the best radio coverage for my phone (VERIZON)

n ) hop on wifi and enjoy your MUCH faster, and bloatware-free RAZR M

problems I encountered and resolved

1) Got stuck in Fast Boot (screen with white text) My battery was below 50% when I started and I had what appeared to be a bricked phone. Used RSD in the above script to flash my phone into stock android and start process over again.

2) Still stuck in fast boot "phone locked" Many tutorials say you need to unlock your bootloader, but I had assumed that meant you just needed root. Unless your phone gives you a disclaimer advising that you have unlocked your bootloader when you reboot, you CANNOT update your recovery or system data and won't succeed.

3) Got stuck at CM10 boot animation - whoops, I downloaded the xt926 cm10 instead of the proper file for my phone

4) again stuck at boot animation - I wiped all cache, formatted date, everything was cleaned.. that solved the issue.

If you don't know how to get into "fast boot" holding all three buttons at once (2 volume and the power) will 'HARD RESET' you from any failed screen, you'll want to immediately hold the up/down volume buttons after this reboot to get into "fast boot" which is needed for some options of the above script. That's also nice if you want to get into recovery after successful install of cm10 as I was just reinstalling TWRP from matt's script and didn't know TWRP was always sitting on my phone - duh!
