Turns out it isn't even just recovery. I can't fxz the official, I can't wipe data, cache(in stock recovery) or fastboot. All of these say successful but it just keeps flashing back to this gpe which for some reason started constantly crashing last night before I started trying to flash other things. Unlocked and it was constantly fc'ing google play services, play store, gapps, pretty much everything.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Coronado is dead:
When you try to fxz the official, try deleting some lines from the .xml. From an older post:
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] xKroniK13x:
Try House of Moto. It generates all the scripts and does it via fastboot or rsd. I personally prefer fastboot flashing.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jamminjon82:
Yeah I'm at a loss, I don't understand why nothing is overwriting this thing. All of my commands and rsds have been "successful".
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Coronado is dead:
Did you try searching for that file you have to change or over right so that it stops trying to restore the stock recovery? Also, is your battery fully charged why you're trying to flash?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jamminjon82:
battery is at 100%(also I have a fastboot cable even if it wasn't), gave up on the recovery and was just trying to fxz the thing back to full stock and nothing is overwriting this thing. Tried editing the xml file like the post you linked suggested, that didn't work. I've tried fastbooting and rsd these fxz. I've redownloaded the fxz's. I've tried downgrading to JB with the edited xml. House of Moto didn't work either.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] thewraith420:
It almost sounds like your locked up again.. Everything looks good in the Fastboot screen?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jamminjon82:
yeah says bootloader unlocked status 3. when I use adb though it says the system is read only which is weird.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] thewraith420:
In adb can you adb remount? (not exactly sure that's 100% correct)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jamminjon82:
Yes,but I don't know what good that does since I don't know where to go from there. Everything fc's
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ATTACK:
For those having trouble with custom recovery not sticking....

Rename or delete:

system / [COLOR="Red"][B]recovery-from-boot[/B][/COLOR]
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jamminjon82:
I had seen that in a different thread and tried as well, however it seems that nothing is taking with my device despite both fastboot and rsd telling me that flashes have been successful for both recovery flashing attempts and fxz flashing attempts. Thank you guys for your suggestions, I really do appreciate the effort.

I have an MMS update if anyone is interested.

I still have not flashed the MMS .zip, but I am receiving MMS messages on t-mobile. I manually entered the T-Mobile APN settings into android settings and rebooted. Still no luck, but then I erased the APN settings and reset to default, and after another reboot I now get MMS.

I hope this can be helpful to someone
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] St.Noigel:
Additional Languages (recovery flashable zip) won`t work for me.. ((
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] mjluber:
drops network

Using on ATT after nv unlock. Everything seems to work smoothly. Did need to edit APN settings to receive MMS but working well now. Having the phone drop network about once a day. Need to reboot to get it to reestablish contact with ATT. Any thoughts?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Tech_Savvy:
I get that issue every now and then but i don't think it's a rom issue..it might be att/ signal quality..i usually just turn on airplane mode for 10 secs.. not saying it'll help but it works for me
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
new builds are up...

-fixed camera freezing issue (i think; lmk if you still have issues)

-added ability to update google exchange email and google now launcher from play store

-adjusted default launcher homescreen layout to display moto phone, camera, contacts and calendar, added analog clock widget (see screenshots)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] FirePsych:
Still need to comment out, erase data?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
Are you referring to the instruction post linked in the op?

I wrote that post with the moto x in mind.

Because the moto x has no external sdcard, it is likely that the user has important info stored on internal sdcard.

Because the razr m has an external sdcard, the user can just copy any important info to it before wiping internal sdcard.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] FirePsych:
I was referring to the RSD lite notes referenced in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2659682 from the OP.

In other words does your script still wipe data or can we just flash the update with rsd lite and keep data without editing the script?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
you can open the xml files in a text editor and read the list of commands.

1FF version doesn't wipe data, CFC version does.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] FirePsych:
Gotcha. Thx
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] tronjojo:
What is 1FF vs. CFC?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jamminjon82:
Answer is 2 posts up from yours
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] tronjojo:
sorry, i was unclear with my question. What do they mean CFC and FF? are there two different downloads? two different flashing methods? i apologize for muddying up the thread. I was on my phone and couldn't do a proper search earlier.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] FirePsych:
Download the fxz to your pc. Unzip the file. You'll see the 1FF and CFC. You can use rsd lite to flash what you want.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
yeah system is read only by default. you have to mount it manually.

did you ever get your phone working?

sounds like you're doing everything correctly, i can't think of any suggestions.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jamminjon82:
Not yet,took a break from it lol.will probably go back to it this weekend
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Coronado is dead:
Had to go back to stock because of Google Now.

Does anyone know where I can find the bootanimation from this ROM in a flashable zip?

Thanks!
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Specter597:
So this is based off the Stock ROM?

Does updating Google Search break "Ok Google" for ALL launchers or just for the Google Experience Launcher?

(I'm a NOVA user and it has it's own settings for "Ok Google")

Thanks! (And Clicked too.)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
yes, as mentioned in the first sentence of the op.

action launcher hotword detection breaks when search is updated, so i imagine it is the same with other launchers.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] FirePsych:
Latest build seems to have fixed the camera issue. Thanks
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Coronado is dead:
I have personally tested it with Nova, and yes, updating does break hotword detection.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] stoney05:
i flashed this build and now my phone only connects to 3G.

i returned to stock 4.4 but it didnt fix the LTE

anyone have ideas?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] xKroniK13x:
Probably need a new SIM.

[Droid RAZR M Android Development] stoney05:
My SIM card is actually brand new; I just activated the phone on my line in-store, but I can try that.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] :
Can I ask - do this version have bad bugs found in the official Verizon version? I just wanted to be sure my phone won't get thermally destroyed as the official update have done on many Verizon phones. If the RAZR M actually run cooler on this ROM (while my phone was previously running too hot on Verizon update), then I will flash it. Wish it's zip flashable.

Edit: Looks like the dangerous bugs present in the official update's gone but I am going to cautiously watch it for a bit until I can be confidential that it's to be 100% trusted.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Coronado is dead:
Same thing, stuck on 3G now :/

EDIT: As SOON as I said that I opened the SIM slot and 4G popped up on its own, lol.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] danbest82:
Thanks for this ROM. Latest version fixes camera for me too. This seems faster than most AOSP ROMs I've tried and seem to get better signal with new KK bootloader. Had to fix WiFi(which isn't caused by this) but this helped me with that.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] wendorf12213:
Is there anyway to make this a flashable zip file I can't get rid lite to read my phone
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] :
Turn your phone off and then hold both Volume Up and Down and press power button. Finally, after booting into firmware boot menu, use Volume down button to move the selector to "AP Fastboot", and then press Volume up button to select this mode and plug the USB cord in. RSD Lite will then see the phone in Fastboot mode.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] FirePsych:
Is there a current list of removable vzw and Motorola and/or Qualcomm bloat in addition to what was removed already?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
this is more than likely a driver issue.

have you installed the moto drivers?

have you tried flashing with fastboot?

if fastboot doesn't work, it's definitely a driver issue.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] wendorf12213:
i havent tried flashing in fastboot mode but ill see if i can thank you for the idea
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] wendorf12213:
that didnt work
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
you need to give a lot more detail than that if you want help.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] xKroniK13x:
Then you don't have the right drivers or not using an OEM Motorola cable. Simple as that.

Sent from my RAZR M (CM Nightlies) from Tapatalk Pro.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] :
I never used OEM cable ever - as USB specification implies, it won't matter. There's an exception: OEM cables tend to be better, except for Samsung OEM cables which always break apart at predictable time (had two fall apart on me).
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Coronado is dead:
After loading the Moto drivers on your computer, are you using a USB 2.0 port that isn't part of an external hub? I know mine won't flash on hubs or USB 3.0 ports.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] :
Yep, it's best to do straight to the PC, it's apparently the protective mechanism in both RSD Lite and bootloader.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ezknives:
Would this be able to make a flashable version of this...

Edit... I'm gonna give it a shot on my current system (just stock deodexed) and if its successful I'll find a pc flash this and make one if that's OK with Q9Nap
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
you can do whatever you want for your own use, but it's not ok to repackage or modify my work to reshare.

i'd recommend just making a nandroid after flashing; much simpler than making a flashable zip.

but if you really want to, you can dump the system image with imgextractor or simg2img, and then add your meta-inf folder and its contents.

new build is up, probably the final version for 183.46.10.

while making the gpe rom for moto x 4.4.4, i discovered that the mms apk is required even for sms to function properly in hangouts.

so in this build, i kept the mms apk and also added in the extra languages mod, so the fxz is all in one now.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] wendorf12213:
sorry for being so short i was in a hurry at the time. im trying again with a new cable and will see if that works.

update : the new cable worked it must have been an issue with the old cable! thank you for the help and dealing with me!
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
cool, glad you got it working!
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ezknives:
In no way would I ever take credit for your work nor share it(or anyone else's)... I personally don't have access to a PC and the ole lady doesn't let me on one... A few others may not have access to one ...I would provide it to you only and if you chose to release it so be it... I prefer a stock type and am unable to flash this... I asked a few posts back if there was anyway to put together a twrp flashable zip of this and you replied that (from what i gathered)there wasn't a way to... I apologize for upsetting you or overstepping any boundaries... I was merely suggesting a possible resolution to my (and maybe a few others) dilemma...
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
i wasn't sure what you were suggesting and just wanted to make that clear, as someone actually did that recently with my moto x gpe gsm build.

definitely appreciate your willingness to help; if you want to put together a guide on how to make a flashable zip from fastboot files, that would be great!

one of the reasons i prefer the fastboot image format is because it is good to know how to use fastboot/rsd lite to recover your device when necessary.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] :
RSD Lite is great for unbricking the unlocked phone, thus that image format. I would be all for the flashable zip, though. The image can be eventually backed up to TWRP WIM zipped images, so to me, RSD Lite is more of a one-time thing.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] FirePsych:
So mms.apk is basically the messaging app? The new build adds messaging, independent of Hangouts and the languages?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] :
Yep. Mms.apk is the texting app.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] B.E.McAllister:
Been running this for two days and love it. I forgot how much I like being able to delete from the notification pull down. Still have the random reboot when I plug it in occasionally, but I'm sure that's a hardware or the KK update issue. Great job on this!
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Q9Nap:
thanks!

mine hasn't ever rebooted while plugging or unplugging, but i have noticed it reboot in my pocket occasionally, not recently though.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] tronjojo:
Do people on Verizon experience the reboots and screen lock? Or is it only those of using the phone on gsm networks?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] :
Screen autolocking also occurs on CyanogenMod 11 compiled for Kit Kat bootloader. Possibly the bootloader bug. I decided to just downgrade the phone back to Jelly Beans.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] B.E.McAllister:
I'd say seven times out of ten if I don't have the screen awake and I plug in, it'll reboot. Also the new update for email is causing FC so I've just disabled the auto update on it.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Prohyper:
Does the stock ROM has some bugs which causes random reboots or its due some app?
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] B.E.McAllister:
Mine did it on stock KK as well. I think it might actually be better now but that might be just me thinking that because I'm enjoying this ROM so much.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Prohyper:
Mine is stock too and I'm also getting random reboots. This ROM is also based on stock so it has same bugs as stock.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] FirePsych:
I'm on VZW. No random reboots and haven't had a frozen screen in a long time.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] Tech_Savvy:
Mine is workibg excellent on AT@T and ive had no problems...i get great battery life ...1 day 20 hours on battery and its at 50% and its fast and smooth

how to flash

sorry i'm still dont understand how to flash this..

anyone can tell me step to flashing.. just like RDS or what?

this can work GSM sim outside US?

Thanks before

--------

mine now is unlocked bootloader and use custom rom
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] :
RSD Lite. You have to be sure you have the unlocked bootloader (Status 3), then leave your phone in fastboot mode and select the XML file in the extracted package from the zip file from here in RSD file selector above the activity graphs window.

P. S. I realized you unlocked this thing already but I had to be sure anyways. I will, or someone else will, take the screenshot of RSD Lite and point out what to select in this tool.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] dispos:
Ok, thanks for info

Mine already unlocked now..

When i already on KK BL can i downgrade again at JB BL??
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] ezknives:
Yes you can downgrade back to the jb kernel
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] :
Just remove two lines in XML file: TZ and GPT - you don't want to flash those files, they will brick it, even though it's partially overwritten by bootloader downgrading. I have successfully downgraded my phone - I had to confirm first to be sure, before going ahead. (Kit Kat bootloader bugs put me off, hence the reason to downgrade back to JB.)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] dispos:
Glad to hear before to upgrade.. Thanks again

Will be wait until BL stable
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] :
Just unlock the BL now, you will be glad you did. It have saved me crapload of troubles and heartaches.

Keep User Data Coming From Stock

Just in case anyone was wondering...

If you are Rooted/Unlocked but still running the Stock 4.4.2 software, I was able to comment out the "erase user data" to no ill effect.

Obviously not the cleanest of installs, but so far it has not complained and I'm lazy and don't want to re-install all of my apps/data.

So ... you can load this on-top of a stock rooted/unlocked xt907 and it will work.

I'll update if anything poops on me.

Update: Had 1 minor problem. Installing this onto a rooted stock resulted in having 2 installations of SuperSU. It caused a SU fault and I had to reinstall SuperSU from recovery. All is good.

Great ROM.

Edit: Holy Speedy OS Batman! I love this rom. (If I could click "thanks" twice ...)

Edit: I had previously fixed the SDCARD permissions on Kit Kat - and naturally this ROM restores them to the "Broken" Kit Kat preferred state.

I recommend SDFix for dealing with this. (Who wants all their TiBu backups on internal memory?!)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jaycush:
RSD Lite flash fail

Nevermind I'm an idiot that didn't read enough. I missed that I needed to be stock 4.4.2 before flashing. I was on CM11 nightly. I will flash stock 4.4.2 then try agian. Funny that I was still able to find a round about way to have the darn thing functioning even though I really screwed it up. Lots of fun.

So no big deal right, it failed a flash and was partially stuck in bootloader. I was able to get into recovery and run a restore and figured I would just try flashing agian later. Well, not really. After going through the restore point (I use TWRP), it would continually boot back into the bootloader saying flash fail. It did this several times, each time flashing, reflashing, wiping everything, rinse and repeat. Finally after running a restore point again with no success when I got to the selection menu instead of ap fastboot, recovery or any of those I went to AP Tools I think, it's the very last selection on the list. I selected that and all of a sudden I have my rom (CM 11-20140803-NIGHTLY-moto-msm8960) boots up. So what did I do and how do I fix it so that I can have the phone boot up properly. Can I redownload the files from the OP and reflash via RSD Lite? That was going to be my next attempt to fix this problem. Nothing I do in recovery has helped fix it.

Another side effect (this one I like) is that the unlocked bootloader warning is no longer present either when trying to boot or when going into recovery. It also took several tries to get recovery to boot it would hang on where it says android. It would not boot recovery if it was plugged in to my wall charger (the battery died last night while I was trying to fix it).

Are there things I need to be commenting out in the files that are being flashed? If I want a generally stock experience can I just straight flash the files? I am still learning how to use fastboot commands and adb. So I get nervous changing files that contain code even just to comment things out.

Is the fact that I use TWRP vs another recovery presenting a problem? I have not been able to get CWM to work with my razr m but TWRP installed and ran without a problem so it's been my goto.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] :
Is your battery still alive as of now? If not, then I will suggest to buy or borrow Black Hat Motorola factory adapter (the red USB jig), as it will force the phone to boot without battery. I will check in my folder and I will tell you what to do also. Lastly, did you unlock your bootloader in JB or Kit Kat?

EDITED: To enforce the reason to be sure that GPT (or main().bin) and TZ are removed from stock Kit Kat image's XML, I have seen a few people here bricking their phone. I am being sent a bricked RAZR M so I can figure out how to unbrick it and then I may put up tutorial how to unbrick (will be keeping note of what I did so I can have clear image of how I did to unbrick it.)
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jaycush:
Ok so I have power and I have been able to get the phone to boot into TWRP if I leave it unplugged and use the key combos to get there. Mine was constantly stuck booting into fastboot/bootloader. After flashing via TWRP I was able to actually get the phone to boot into my rom by selecting BP Tools instead of regular boot, again using key combos to get to the selection screen.

I unlocked and rooted in KK using TR.apk, motopocolypse.apk. Then I installed TWRP and have flashed a variety of different ROMs trying to find the best features and reliability for me. This is not my Daily Driver, it is my back-up so I have time to fix it.

My though was to go find and flash 4.4.2 KK stock rom and then try flashing this modded rom and then reinstall TWRP or CWM recovery. That is of course if I can get it to flash 4.4.2 via RSD Lite.

When I flashed this rom over CM 11, it failed and I didn't grab a screen shot or anything. It might actually still be up on my laptop at home. I was frustrated when it didn't work so pulled the phone and thought I would be able to get into recovery and just use a restore point. However, as stated before that failed well sort of, it's been interesting.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] :
Did it say "Flashing boot.img failed" in RSD Lite? I would want to know what did RSD say so I can figure out how to solve this problem. Apparently Kit Kat bootloader is troublesome, so I want to take this one step at a time.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jaycush:
I am mostly confident that it said that, I can't remember for sure.The bootloader says fastboot reason: flash failure.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] :
Ah, I see. Did you perform factory reset (Dalvik cache, regular cache and userdata wipe) before flashing this image onto the phone? Just want to eliminate the variables - if you didn't, that's fine - RSD Lite expects that anyways. And, did you edit the stock Kit Kat factory image's XML to remove the line containing TZ and GPT? This part is particularly important as it introduces risk of brick.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] jaycush:
I did not read enough to know to edit/remove those lines. I will need assistance later in knowing how to do that (what to open the file with to edit and how to know I am editing the correct line, ie what does the line look like?). I also did not do a factory reset either. I was anticipating RSD would wipe first then flash. I don't know why that was my expectation.
[Droid RAZR M Android Development] :
Ouch. At least your phone can boot up. Ok, that's the line you should remove:

" <step operation="flash" partition="partition" filename="gpt.bin" /> "

And

" <step operation="flash" partition="tz" filename="tz.mbn" /> "

Note: those lines are typed out without MD5 checksums as all ROM images obviously have different file size. Even if you see MD5 checksum in those lines, remove them anyways. They're the same thing, except with file size checker. Having any type of XML editors will help as XML files usually has Linux UNIX text formatting which will be a beautifully jumbled mess in Microsoft Notepad. Wordpad may tolerate that but actual XML editor is preferred.
