Haha, yeah well, it runs so well stock! Also, I had been having an issue (for some reason wifi switching on mine every now and then drops my bluetooth headset), so the warranty is a concern.

Of course that should just be other equipment interfering. I have to have tasker kill my wifi in calls now though.
[Droid RAZR M General] antp121:
Well, then don't accept any updates until they are safe, just in case you wanna unlock someday.
[Droid RAZR M General] donslade:
I flashed the CM10 in earlier messages but I still have the same available space on the internal storage (approx. 4GB) as with the stock software. Do I need to do something different to get access to the full 8GB of internal storage?
[Droid RAZR M General] Coronado is dead:
Yeah, but to not accept updates I have to root, lol. Which is such a grey Verizon warranty area anyways.

Anyway, I am getting way off topic here.

but I wonder if that unresetable 'qe 0/1' is also a QFuse....
[Droid RAZR M General] skippid:
Someone mentioned earlier that they locked their bootloader with rsd. I was merely stating it didn't in my case.:p
[Droid RAZR M General] IndianaBond:
Maybe a dumb question...

I install CM10 and noticed that the play store is not there. Do I need to flash gapps?
[Droid RAZR M General] antp121:
of course! cm got in trouble for including in so for the past few years, its been a separate package. just download the cm10 ones from goo.im/gapps
[Droid RAZR M General] IndianaBond:
Ok, here's another question.

Whenever I reboot, my phone asks me to enter my pin number for my sim card. Is this normal? I always choose dismiss.
[Droid RAZR M General] antp121:
yep. just hit dismiss. its a known issue. doesnt really effect anything serious.
[Droid RAZR M General] ifrankie10:
How does one put the stock recovery back
[Droid RAZR M General] Dead Man Walking_:
Is it real to make a fastboot version? For bricked phones... Thanks.
[Droid RAZR M General] antp121:
Just pull it from a rsd zip or you can do a full rsd.

It requires root. I'm pretty sure it needs to be on. If you are stuck in fast boot just rsd it. If you need help, you can pm me.
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
I'm currently running mic213's recompiled CM10 build from dhacker29's source flashed via Safestrap. That being said, and this may be a stupid question to some but as I've been taught the only stupid question is the one that goes unasked, I must ask this... do I first need to RSD to either stock 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 firmware then attempt to unlock the bootloader of my RAZR M or can I just follow the directions as is and unlock the bootloader without having to revert back to stock firmwares?
[Droid RAZR M General] andrewfblack:
You don't need to flash stock to unlock your bootloader.
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
Alright good to know. So its safe to do while safestrapped?

Droid RAZR M cruisin on 4.1.2 based CM10
[Droid RAZR M General] antp121:
Yeah. All that really matters is that you are rooted.
[Droid RAZR M General] allc0re:
Since performing the unlock and installing CWM, I get the 'Storage space running out' message. When I look at storage it Internal is fine (237MB avail) SD Card is fine (29GB avail) but then I have 8 different USBDISK_1.#. I don't remember having those before. What's going on there? The option to mount them is greyed-out and I've tried deleting them with SD Maid, but they come right back.
[Droid RAZR M General] Coronado is dead:
Those are normal and show up in my stock install.

Do you have a safestrap slot used or something? 237MB is very low.
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
On the topic of safestrap do you know if its possible to take the backup of a ROM slot and restore it over the stock ROM slot so that I could then remove the ROM in ROM slot 1?

Droid RAZR M cruisin on 4.1.2 based CM10
[Droid RAZR M General] antp121:
only if it will work with the stock rom slot. thats all that matters. ive done that with eclipse and cm10
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
Alright awesome. So is doing so as simple as just activating stock slot then restoring a previous backup of CM10 on it? Then I can just clear ROM slot 1?

Droid RAZR M cruisin on 4.1.2 based CM10
[Droid RAZR M General] Leraeniesh:
CM10 will not work on stock slot. After restore, it will loop on the safe strap start screen, and you will have to RSD in order to get back into safe strap. If you want to use CM10, I would suggest using it on an unlocked boot loader with TWRP.
[Droid RAZR M General] antp121:
What he said^ I think I might have been mistaken when I said cm10.
[Droid RAZR M General] sloosecannon:
Yep... Boot time is ridiculous too. I go from cm10 splash to lockscreen in 10 seconds
[Droid RAZR M General] jgramkow:
Doesn't matter what I do. I mount system, don't mount system, I have a bootloader unlocked, rooted, CWM recovery installed, razr m, and every time I try to flash any rom, (Tried cm-10, eclipse, energy) I get

"E:Can't open /external_sd/whichever rom it is here.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.
[Droid RAZR M General] Leraeniesh:
Try using TWRP instead of CWM recovery.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Droid RAZR M General] jgramkow:
Tried that also. No go still.
[Droid RAZR M General] allc0re:
Upon further inspection and cleaning, I no longer have the warning. I still don't remember having all those USBDISK thingies. I even have USBDISK_1.1.1
[Droid RAZR M General] tolymatev:
Can some one tell me why my TWRP recovery will not finish backing up. It backs up the system, generates md5 then backs up data, and never finishes to generate an md5.

Tried CWM recovery and it doesn't seem to work properly either.
[Droid RAZR M General] sloosecannon:
Ran out of space? What's the error?
[Droid RAZR M General] SuFuS01dier:
I had that issue too. I reverted to twrp 2.3.2.3 and all is well now. I see a lot if people having issues with 2.4, if that's even what your using.
[Droid RAZR M General] tolymatev:
I'm on 2.4.0.0alpha.

Can you give a link for twrp 2.3? Plz

Thanks in advance
[Droid RAZR M General] betty.k:
So after unlocking and adding the custom recovery I still can't install custom roms. I tried using safestrap and any rom just hangs on the bootscreen. According to rootchecker I'm not rooted but all apps requiring root work.

Any ideas?
[Droid RAZR M General] PantherVT:
Are you using safe strap in addition to your new custom recovery? I haven't unlocked the bootlader on this device yet but its my understanding that your new recovery would eliminate the needs for safestrap. Also what steps have you taken prior to the boot loop? did you wipe your stock rom before flashing a new one over it?
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
I'm currently running CM10 in ROM slot 1 via safestrap v3.11 TWRP. Contemplating unlocking bootloader but I'm curious, do you know if unlocking while safe strapped is safe? And also if I was to flash TWRP afterward would it just get rid of safe strap or would I first need to remove it before even unlocking?

Droid RAZR M cruisin on 4.1.2 based CM10
[Droid RAZR M General] SuFuS01dier:
It was on droidrazr.com. I can't remember what thread it was in. I had looked for a couple hours to find it. Its either hard to come by or my searching skills are extremely lacking:)
[Droid RAZR M General] sloosecannon:
TWRP and safestrap play nice with each other... No work required
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
But will I be able to load CM10 in stock slot and wipe ROM slot 1 upon unlocking and flashing TWRP?

Droid RAZR M cruisin on 4.1.2 based CM10
[Droid RAZR M General] sloosecannon:
Actually, you don't even need to do that. Just flash cm10 from TWRP. It'll be much, much faster then the kexec hack that safe strap runs on. It'll overwrite the entire stock ROM
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
So by unlocking my bootloader it will make it so that I can flash CM10 in the stock ROM slot whereas before unlocking my bootloader TWRP would be unable to have permitted that?

Droid RAZR M cruisin on 4.1.2 based CM10
[Droid RAZR M General] sloosecannon:
Not exactly. Before, we couldn't even flash TWRP, and everything required the stock kernel. Safestrap was an awesome use of an extremely hacky way of running a custom ROM.

Now, we don't have any ROM slots at all... You just flash /system. So no ROM slots required...

(Disclaimer: this is not meant to discount in any way safestrap or the work hash has done... We just have a better method now)
[Droid RAZR M General] betty.k:
Yes, safestrap and custom recovery.

It's not a boot loop, just hanging on the splash screen eg eclipse rom just keeps playing the splash screen and nothing more.

This rom requires safestrap to load. Still a bit nervous to try flashing via cwm recovery.
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
Look in the Razr M sub-forum, under Developer Edition Development, "Installing a Custom Recovery."

If you unlock and load a custom recovery, you don't need to use SS. Safestrap does not replace the stock recovery, it is only a band-aid to allow us to run a ROM with a locked bootloader. If you flash TWRP or CWM, it will completely replace the stock recovery.
[Droid RAZR M General] IndianaBond:
Here's the link: TWRP. Look in the second set of instructions.
[Droid RAZR M General] jco23:
just read through this whole thread - good stuff.

wondering if I would be safe to uninstall SS after unlocking the bootloader? my current ROM (Energy) is on the stock slot.

I presume my steps would be:

1.) backup my current ROM via SS to my mnt/external

2.) unlock bootloader

3.) uninstall SS

would my phone then boot up with the energy ROM? or would I need to flash it again via CWM?

thanks!
[Droid RAZR M General] sloosecannon:
It should work... Actually I think you could remove SS and still have the custom ROM on stock... the problems happen when it's on a ROM slot
[Droid RAZR M General] duplicationcube:
just unlocked, can't get into fastboot or recovery

nevermind. I'm stupid.

how do I delete this?
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
I unlocked my bootloader just fine but when I take the next step to install twrp in the command prompt by typing twrp2.4-recovery-scorpion_mini.img it opens Windows Disc Image Burner every time upon pressing enter and won't flash the recovery as a result. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: gettting < Waiting for Device > while in command prompt even though I am in AP Fastboot with usb connected. And yes the recovery file is in the same folder as the contents of motopocalypse
[Droid RAZR M General] tolymatev:
Do you have the proper drivers ?
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
I installed the ones from the OP. I assume those are what you speak of?

Droid RAZR M cruisin on 4.1.2 based CM10
[Droid RAZR M General] tolymatev:
I know he has them in the op.. but it looks like ur PC can't recognize the device. Try Motorola's website for the drivers.
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
It recognizes my phone when I plug it in any other time to access the phones hard drive and micro SD card in it. But ok I'll try the main site.

Droid RAZR M cruisin on 4.1.2 based CM10
[Droid RAZR M General] Cryptrix:
Check Command

Just to be clear UN5EEN.. are you sure that you are typing "fastboot flash recovery twrp2.4-recovery-scorpion_mini.img" into the command prompt as opposed to just the name of the img file?
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
I type fastboot flash recovery twrp2.4-recovery-scorpion_mini.img in the command prompt window that opens upon shift+right clicking and choosing open command prompt in the motopocalypse folder.
[Droid RAZR M General] Cryptrix:
Oh

I live in a giant bucket.
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
Pulled the drivers from the motorola website and it ended up installing my twrp in about 2 seconds. Booted up perfect. Just curious now how do I boot into that recovery and go about flashing CM10? Do I just reboot like I have in the past and it will prompt me like safestrap has?
[Droid RAZR M General] Cryptrix:
Same

Sounds good. To get into recovery it is the same as before, hold pwr & vol+ & vol- at once, and choose recovery from the menu. You need to go straight to recovery on your first reboot after flashing TWRP, to disable the stock recovery from overwriting your custom one, which is the device default.
[Droid RAZR M General] Herc08:
I must say, this is awesome..simple, yet so useful. Flashed a motorola before, but this is way simpler. It was the counterpart to a milestone i think..don't remember which one..thanks!
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
Alright, I had messed up and ended up attempting to just reboot my device before I saw this post so it tried to boot into recovery a second time after continuing from the first then would just black screen. So does this mean I need to go into AP fastboot again and reflash the custom recovery again then reboot into recovery it via vol + & - and pwr?

EDIT: Im in the custom TWRP recovery. How do I disable the stock recovery from overwriting my custom one in here?
[Droid RAZR M General] Cryptrix:
Yes

Yes you have to reflash TWRP, but this time go straight to the recovery through the fastboot menu (pwr+vol+vol) instead of letting your phone reboot fully. I believe TWRP disables that automatically once its been booted to like you just did, so you should be good to go.
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
Awesome! Thanks so much. Now to flash CM10. Last question though, would it be safe to flash a clean CM10 along with gapps then restore my backup of the build that I backed up from when I was safestrapped?
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
When I flashed recovery, I didn't immediately boot back into recovery and I never set an option to override stock. When you flash a recovery, it replaces the stock recovery. Your ROM shouldn't magically flash stock recovery, heck I don't think it's possible. Initially, I used CWM and never chose the option it gives you every time you re-boot, and I never had issues. I'm running TWRP now and have never chosen the option. I've never had an issue with stock recovery trying to override custom. You'll still be able to go into the stock fastboot menu, even after flashing a custom recovery.

---------- Post added at 11:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:48 PM ----------

If you are going to flash CM, I would do a clean flash in recovery. Flash the ROM, then GAPPs.
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
Did a clean flash of both CM10 and GAPPS wiped dalvik/cache rebooted. Upon reboot, I dont have any google apps but oddly enough the sony walkman zip and 4.2 camera zip I had flashed on my safestrapped CM10 show and work. How do I get my gapps to show?

EDIT: and also, Upon trying to restore a backup before unlocking and installing the custom recovery it fails. Any idea why?
[Droid RAZR M General] Cryptrix:
Hm..

RikRong look up /system/etc/install-recovery.sh. It is a shell script built into the stock rom that overwrites back to stock recovery unless disabled. When you flash TWRP or CWM, if you do not boot directly back into custom recovery, the shell script is not disabled and runs when the phone is booted, which overwrites it back to stock recovery. Once the script is disabled by rebooting into TWRP, or after a custom rom is installed with said script removed, you no longer need to worry about it. But to get into custom recovery after the initial flash while still on stock (i.e. before you put on a custom rom) then you need to disable it by this method, get it?

Hmm not sure why it didn't work exactly (bad gapps flash file maybe), but go back into recovery and reflash gapps alone, and you should be ok on reboot. No need to rewipe.

Not sure what you meant by restoring a backup before unlocking.. you mean you tried it a while ago back on safestrap bootlocked, and the restore failed? As for restoring a safestrap backup on top of a fresh CM10 you have now, I am not entirely sure how safestrap works, haven't used it myself but as long as it is the same CM10 rom build you used before I don't see why you should have any problem with that.
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
The GAPPs package is the Play Store and whatever apps the dev wants included with their ROM. You will need to download your apps again through the Play Store. If you got no apps, you need to re-flash the package.

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------

Yeah, I get why you would do it, but I've never had an issue with it. That's not saying other people won't have an issue.
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
I pulled the gapps from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2012093. I have used it quite a few times with success via safestrap. Downloaded it again from the same post for 4.1.2, flashed and still nothing. Play store isnt showing as well as the rest of the google apps.

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

same gapps file i have been using. worked before i unlocked and installed custom recovery. downloaded again and still nothing. by restoring i mean that im trying to restore a backup via this new custom recovery that i had backed up when i was safestrapped. the cm10 build and gapps are the very exact ones that i used before unlocking and installing the custom recovery
[Droid RAZR M General] Cryptrix:
Play file

For this I am not sure why Gapps is not playing nice. You are definitely using the right flash file from goo.im/gapps or your phone would not be booting nicely still. Not sure which version you are using now but I have heard that some people had issues flashing with the newest TWRP for some items and had to downgrade to 2.2/2.3, unclear on those issues though. Might I suggest you try just installing the google play .apk file through your sd_card and just installing the apps you want through the store? Try this https://www.box.com/s/1cp525013f89zefcquv9
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
Thanks for the info. I'll give that apk a try. If I am in fact having that issue with TWRP, do you know how, or could you point me in the right direction of downgrading. Maybe that would make it so that I could restore my backup from when I was safestrapped. I had a super solid build then and would really like to get back to that and maintain custom recovery if possible.
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
Downloaded the play store up. Works well but for some reason I keep getting insufficient storage upon trying to install most apps and yet I have about 500mb of space free.
[Droid RAZR M General] tolymatev:
What version of twrp are you using?

I was on 4.0.0.0alpha and it was nothing but trouble.

Now I'm on 2.3.2.3 and it works flawlessly.
[Droid RAZR M General] IndianaBond:
Did you download the gapps file for cm 10.0.x (android 4.1.x)? That's the one I used for cm10 and it worked.
[Droid RAZR M General] tolymatev:
try these gapps.. http://goo.im/gapps

the main gapps website.. mine worked perfect..
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
Where can I get 2.3.2.3 and do I flash it same as the instructions in the OP?

---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 AM ----------

Those are the gapps I have had and have been using without issue up until I unlocked my boot loader and flashed the custom twrp recover from this OP

---------- Post added at 08:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

To add about the Google play app you suggested. It installed fine but hardly let's me install any apps telling me I have insufficient storage as well as when reviewing the apps that I have already paid for it shows that I haven't paid for them.
[Droid RAZR M General] tolymatev:
This is Zip with twrp 2.3.2.3 recovery.

https://www.box.com/s/r6ybuec97ms5eqersdmg

Flash it the same way. Extract zip then open ur folder. Shift + right click then open command window. Type the same command and make sure you type ".IMG" at the end
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
Thanks so much. This did the trick. It also let me restore my backup from when I was safestrapped. :)

[Droid RAZR M General] Herc08:
I think there should be a disclaimer saying that not every rom is not meant for unlocked bootloaders. i flashed twrp and cwm..and could not install eclipse and energy roms..the onlything i could do is install cm10

i must say i did not ever have safestrap, and tried to use it, installed it successfully, and got a slot going, but it still hung when flashing a rom..so i completely WIPED the phone and just used cm10...still not functioning well, but its a phone...

if i am doing something wrong, let me know.. obviously im somewhat familair with rooting, but these motorolas are some tricky devices
[Droid RAZR M General] UN5EEN:
So far everything is going super smooth with all of the help you guys gave me, except my wifi wont turn on and the phones harddrive space is still only reading 4.2GB. Any suggestions on how to fix the wifi and gain access to the other 4GB or so of space on my harddrive?
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
Now, since you flashed CM10, you will not be able to flash a stock ROM, without fastbooting or flashing a stock boot.img. Just keep that in mind if you try to flash something else.

The only stock ROMs I have seen that have worked when flashing directly are Flying Jelly and Rage. When you wipe, you need to mount system. After wipe, you need to re-boot recovery and re-mount system. Someone discovered that the system does not stay mounted in TWRP after wiping, even though it says it does. I haven't tried to flash anything this way, as I have a perfectly good copy of Eclipse running right now. However, the method that I used (and was given to me by Neckchop over on Droidrzr.com) is kind of a pain.

Here it is (all credit goes to Neckchop). I'm sure this method will work with any ROM.
[Droid RAZR M General] Herc08:
Having the same probably. It says turning on, but just sits there.

I thought fastboot flash boot boot.IMG was only for HTC. I didn't see that anywhere. That is probably why it loops in boot
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
You can fastboot or flash boot.img on just about anything that has an unlocked bootloader. There are methods posted on Droidrzr.com that haven't made their way here yet. You don't need the stock .img on CM10 because it's not a stock based ROM. It includes its own kernel. If you bootlooped after flashing CM, then it was for a different reason.

The DST ROM has a stock boot.img underneath the "odexed" zip. Also, Matt's utility on DroidRzr.com will fastboot your phone to 100% stock (and maintain the unlocked bootloader). You seem to be having a lot of problems (I did at the beginning too and I just fastbooted to solve them all), so I would just FB back to stock, and start over.

DST ROM with 4.1.1 boot.img:

http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/11466-rom-xt907-411-dst/

Matt's utility (it's really easy to use, far easier than RSD):

http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/13427-droid-razr-m-utility-110-windowsmaclinux/

Also, the Rage ROM on Droidrzr.com includes a separate zip of a stock boot.img, if you choose to go that route.
[Droid RAZR M General] Herc08:
one of the admins at droidrzr.com already helped me out...figures out that ROMs that rely on SS do not use stock kernels, so that was a reason right now...after he went into depth, i was able to get everything going...like i said over there...i love xda, but it was little to no info here..and it made sense to go there first, a site dedicated to one device

Remember that utility....? It's also in there, one of the options is to flash TWRP. I use a Mac also, you have to set up your environment if not using an utility like this one, however this one takes the work out and makes it a really smooth process for you.
