Try keep hitting the "Start" button. RSD is sluggish sometimes. And, first be sure you have over 50% of battery juice or if you have Motorola factory cable, you can go ahead and shut it down and hold both volume buttons then reboot it. Use Volume down to scroll to "AP Fastboot" then hit Volume up to reboot into fastboot mode. Check the XML file first before flashing to be sure there is no TZ and GPT lines in there, they will brick your phone - anything else are fine to flash.

I was stupid and took the OTA from 183.46.10 to 183.46.13. I gave up root to do it and cant stand it. Also, as of yesterday I took another OTA to 183.46.15 thinking there might be a reason to keep it without root....There isnt, not for me anyway

I hate all the stinkin adds the most

Fortunately I did unlock my bootloader before I upgraded to 183.46.13

Can I downgrade straight to 183.46.10 or would I need to go back to JB then upgrade from there?

My phone doesnt like RSD lite but seems to work well with HouseofMoto.

I am not the most competent when it comes to flashing.

On several occasions in the I was sure I had bricked my phone.

I probably shouldnt even be trying this, but I had root before now and every time I see an add it makes me cuss.

So if you give advice please be detailed so I dont get that nasty sinkin feeling that comes with "Oh crap I bricked my phone"

Thanks in advance for any and all help
[Droid RAZR M General] :
You can downgrade with either RSD Lite and / or House of Moto because the bootloader is already unlocked. Just remove the line in XML file that contains "TZ" and "GPT", as those could brick the phone. Anything else is fine to flash onto the phone. I have done this.

And if you want to be sure you can still recover the bricked phone (from when the PC twitching), you may want to obtain this as an insurance: http://shop.teamblackhat.info/Factory-Adapters-motadapt.htm (I bought mine as well.)

I am using gummy nightly. 4.4.4. Twrp. Recovery.

What's the best way to downgrade, root, and get a custom

ROM with working WiFi and non mic issues.

Thanks
[Droid RAZR M General] ATTACK:
You did not need to downgrade. Having a unlocked bootloader means you can flash a custom recovery, then flash Superuser to root.
[Droid RAZR M General] :
This, but he did ask about downgrading.
[Droid RAZR M General] MunchNBeaver:
Replace the xml file. It says it's the same file?? What am i doing wrong? I'm coming from 4.4.4 running gummy rom. twrp recovery.
[Droid RAZR M General] :
If you downgrade, check the XML file in the unzipped Jelly Beans factory image and remove TZ and GPT from the flash line in that file as you certainly DO NOT WANT to brick the phone. You don't have to replace the file (it won't even work as I found that it has MD5 checksum - each JB factory image always have different size throughout revisions, and it will fail unless MD5 checksum line is removed - just remove TZ and GPT line in the original XML, it will work. The attached XML is more for reference.)
[Droid RAZR M General] MunchNBeaver:
i opened the .rar file, removed tz and gpt. i put phone into fastboot mode. loaded rslite. put the file in. it decompressed then said there was missing some files. what am i doing wrong?
[Droid RAZR M General] :
Ok, with TZ and GPT files gone, edit XML file and you don't have to recompress it. There are two lines in XML file itself that you need to edit. Anything else in XML file itself are fine to flash. Remove those two lines that contains "gpt.bin" and "tz.mbm" and save the edited XML file. Use WordPad to edit the firmware XML file.

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 PM ----------

If you don't know how to, you can send me your XML file via private messaging and I will edit with TZ and GPT lines gone and give it back to you. TZ.MBM and GPT.BIN files are not safe to flash on unlocked bootloader, BTW.
[Droid RAZR M General] MunchNBeaver:
sent you a message, i'm not sure how to send a file.

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

ok. i got it edited.

now. here is what i am doing.

i put the phone in fastboot. connect to pc. open rsdlite. find the phone in fastboot. then load the edited file. hit start, says can't flash. i tried while not in fastboot and it won't show the phone at all. i put in the moto drivers. still nothing.
[Droid RAZR M General] :
Crap. What did you edit out? I will look for Snapdragon CPU tool to bring it back online and you will need to buy or borrow this: http://shop.teamblackhat.info/Factory-Adapters-motadapt.htm so you can force the phone to boot up.
[Droid RAZR M General] MunchNBeaver:
nothing flashed at all. i put it in fastboot mode, then when i load RSD Lite, it just says that Fastboot SMQ S it doesn't show the phone. I can still boot up to gummy 4.4.4
[Droid RAZR M General] :
Whew. Good thing your phone still boots... I nearly crapped myself, anyways, be careful of what you edit - SMQ error is due to different software ID. I have reviewed and removed MD5 checksum due to difference in file size (you should get MD5 checker and check against the original unedited XML file to make sure the MD5 numbers are the SAME before flashing, otherwise if it was unzipped with 7zip, it would obviously check the checksums before unzipping them). I have included the generic flavor of downgrade XML (rename from downgrade.txt to downgrade.xml), and please check that everything is in the firmware folder.
[Droid RAZR M General] MunchNBeaver:
thanks DR. It seems to be flashing now. Sorry to ask this, but after it's done, will I still have root? If not, would I use towel again? and flash a custom recovery?

EDIT: it stopped a 7/20 flash modem non hlos.bin

not sure if this matters, using windows 7 64 bit. home premium
[Droid RAZR M General] :
You can flash TWRP 2.7.0.0 afterwards and the superuser zip file to flash.
[Droid RAZR M General] MunchNBeaver:
it stopped at 7/20 flash modem non-hlos.bin failure

tried it three times, always stops here
[Droid RAZR M General] :
*sigh* Let me figure it out. Where did you get the firmware folder, and what zip archive tool did you use? It's important to troubleshoot now. Flashing the firmware is a risky business, everyone else are having no problem flashing the firmwares, you're one of few peoples here having problem.

Alright... Where did you obtain the firmware? (sbf-developers.com is the usual place I got the firmware from - google "sbf-developers.com razr m") and check the back of your phone - on the kevlar battery cover, did it say XT905 or XT907? (And what carrier was it for originally? If it says Verizon in the front, it would be obvious.) Finally, what archive utility tool did you use? AND..... IS THE USB PLUG TIGHT IN THE PHONE"S CHARGER PORT? This one is very important - loose USB cable will screw up your day as badly.
[Droid RAZR M General] MunchNBeaver:
Sorry so much trouble...

I opened the zip file, and put the document you edited in place.

I manually put phone in fastboot.

[Droid RAZR M General] :
I am confused. Try the modem NON-HLOS.bin from the Jelly Bean (4.1.2) factory image from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8 - or rather, copy my downgrade script to the fresh JB image from sbf-developers as well.

I had no trouble downgrading my phone but I am figuring out why you are having trouble. If you don't feel comfortable anymore, probably we should do TeamViewer, and I will check everything out before going ahead and flashing your phone.
[Droid RAZR M General] MunchNBeaver:
i copied the edit you gave me, and put it in the script. should i download a new file and put your edited document in again?

Android 4.1.2

Blur_Version.98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US This is the version i am getting now. there was 2 of the JB files, i read the 98.30 was the one to get.
[Droid RAZR M General] :
Ok, if you prefer, I will get on TeamViewer, and check it out, and look at script carefully. Private Message me your user ID and password if you have TeamViewer already set up. I have unsettling feeling about this.

completely remove any lines that contain "getvar" and "erase userdata"

close and save the file

flash with rsd lite and use the newly modified xml file as the target (use google to find a tutorial for rsd if you need it, there are plenty out there)

Quick question, does this also downgrade bootloader to JB level? I want to test out some JB BL ROMs. XML says it flashes sbl1, sbl2 and sbl3, so I assume the answer is yes, but I don't want to proceed without hearing some solid answers.

EDIT: Yes it does. Tried, RSD'd, flashed JB BL CM11, all working fine. Finally got rid of the WiFi and GPS problems haunting K BL CM11. Thanks for giving the possibility to downgrade.

I successfully unlocked the boot loader and rooted my razor m and my wife's. Thanks to this post I downgraded both phones to jellybean, flashed CWM recovery, and re rooted the phones. Almost immediately we started receiving update notifications which we were ignoring. Today my wife accidentally selected to update to kit kat. The phone powered off and began installing update. Halfway through install the phone went into CWM recovery and asks if you want to continue to install untrusted zip. Upon selecting no and go back the phone powers on for about a min and then reboots into recovery. Is this fixable? And if so, how?
[Droid RAZR M General] lwest1012:
help again please

I unlocked the bootloader, rooted, downgraded to jellybean, flashed CWM recovery, and rooted again both my RAZR M and my wife's. Shortly after doing so we began to receive notifications to update to Kitkat and we ignored them. My wife accidentally selected to update and her phone shutdown and began to install the update. Half way through the install the phone went into recovery which asks "Install untrusted package?" At the bottom it says "failed to verify whole-file signature". When I select "no" or "go back" the phone boots up for approximately a minute then shuts down and starts the update install again. I haven't selected "Yes- install untrusted zip" for fear of causing more damage. If this is fixable please help.
[Droid RAZR M General] ATTACK:
Delete, rename or freeze the below app (dependent on version) to avoid the update.

Jellybean - Updater.apk (I believe this is the name, but I'm unsure.)

KitKat - 3c_OTA.apk

how to fix

OK but how do I fix my current problem? The phone tries to install the update and half way through it goes into recovery. Regardless of what I select in recovery the phone powers on for a minute then shuts down and starts the whole process over again.

Unhappy RAZR M Flashed with RSD without usb debugging and unrooted

I am totally new to this and i didn't see the point where it was written that we need to first root the device and turn on usb debugging.

Therefore i ended up with cruel result. I followed all other instructions as mentioned tried to flash without usb debugging and root access.

flash stopped at boot.img

now my pone is stuck in AP fastboot

I have successfully downgraded to JB 4.1.2 as instructed and had to flash twice to get the phone radio to work properly. However, there is now an issue with bandwidth whenever wifi and bluetooth are enabled.

What phone is this for if its for the RAZR series you need to download a separate XML file and put it in the fastboot firmware folder and it will replace it.

[Droid RAZR M General] :
hoangps, did you unlock the phone? There are two reason why it failed: locked bootloader or wrong model line in the XML (I had to do the latter one by looking into Kit Kat RSD image's XML so the model compare is basically forced - it works. Your mileage also vary. Start with comparing both XML). NOW, remove the lines containing gpt.bin and tz.mbn flash so you don't accidentally brick it.

If you can power it on and see that, it means your bootloader is fine. You're soft bricked. You're doing something wrong with RSD or HoM.

Nope you didn't brick it go into the recover menu and and flash with rsd again
[Droid RAZR M General] :
Ok, did you attempt downgrading from Kit Kat to Jelly Beans? It's important to know what version you attempted jumping off, as early Kit Kat OTA is easily unlockable (due to bootloader bugs - you get to hit it with older exploit to unlock it for "free") - if you did try from latest Kit Kat OTA, all I can say it will be problematic.

Use kitkat version 4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1, but it's fix now. When connect device to pc, it detect as mtp driver. So I tried to flash again with RSD, the device get force into fastboot mode. Razr M get functionally normal now. :o

thanks a lot

Yup downloaded it a while ago never edited used to before with rsd on my RAZR m
[Droid RAZR M General] dream555:
ok so this firmware is downloaded and nerver edited and never nothing changed yes? and this is last update 4.1.2 stock rom?

i dont need edited firmware. i need official stock 4.1.2 last update firmware that never used. sorry but .......... :confused:
[Droid RAZR M General] shawnsingh:
It was used but the good this is it is in a zip file so basically I still have the zip file which after rsd extracts it and installs, it will be like new. But I needed to download a new XML file in order to flash with my phone you might need to do the same thing.

I don't know what update it was.
[Droid RAZR M General] :
4.1.2? Attempting to downgrade back to Jelly Beans? Sorry to tell you but if you leave it unchanged, you will eventually brick it with OTA update. It has happened to couple of peoples already - that destroys Trustzone chains of trust. I would recommend editing it anyways. Remove Blur updater to kill the OTA update so you don't have to worry about bricking it with update (if you wanna update it, it's best done with RSD, with TZ.MBN and GPT.BIN files flashing line removed from XML).
[Droid RAZR M General] dream555:
omg no :( i need official stock rom :crying:
[Droid RAZR M General] :
dream555, may I ask you why would you want stock ROM? (Besides from heightened brick risks from OTA.)
