I would suppose that is the right method but the thing is the utility doesn't flash the Stock ROM (neither option 1 nor 2) it gives out a "preflash validation failed" message while writing recovery and "preinstall.img" and then when it completes and says Mobile will reboot after Radio install the screen goes black "M" motorola icon and then poof... Back to fastboot with flash failed message and all.

Try RSD-Lite that brkahughes has included with utility, open cdma_spyder_9.8.2O-72_VZW-16-5_cfc.xml & write to razr.

 

[Huzaifa_Aziz]

Tried that and then the new one also

 

[crackerjack1957]

Only 3 things left, cable (need to be using 1 that came with or data cable), computer (have you ever flashed with this cp before), & phone (bricked beyond repair).

Bad:
Computers running win8 & 8.1
Usb3 ports

Good:
Win7, usb2 & Rsd-lite 5.7 have solved issues.
WinXP with latest Motorola Drivers

For people having problems in window 8/8.1. Righ click all .exe files in RAZR utility directory and choose properties. In compatibility tab choos e windows 7 and run as admin. I couldn't get root and it froze until I did this.gluck

I apologize for my absence, and thank those who have stepped in to help! I have been working on a live-CD version to eliminate windows problems, but my wife has been in and out of the hospital; now last week I was diagnosed with a bladder mass. This is the big "C's" second attempt on me, I beat a brain tumor almost five years ago: so I expect to be back to hacking as soon as this blows over.

AIO XT912 Stock Utility:
Reflash/Root/SafeStrap​

Was just curious, the Spring 2014 OTA - If you've been running a custom ROM since then and did not get that OTA, would your device be affected in any way?

Also, I forget (as my laptop that had the original version of mattlgroff's util on it died recently) - does the utility come with the latest OTA Stock ROM files included or would those have to be located and downloaded separately?

The spring 2014 OTA included a number of small bugfixes, as well as some updated radio files. While you can run either, I recommend the latest version, as the radio files can affect performance even when on a custom ROM.

The original Matt's utility contained the 98.72.16 Jellybean (original), and Safestrap 3.11. I updated the utility to the spring release of 98.72.165, and Safestrap 3.73. You can find it in the OP of this thread (hint: it's in my SIG).

Next on the burner is a bootable live-CD version including a choice of Safestrap 3.73 or 3.75 (for those who want to play with Lollipop).

AIO XT912 Stock Utility:
Reflash/Root/SafeStrap​

Thanks! I'll probably be downloading the updated util tonight so I can re-flash my phone back to stock and re-root. I've been hitting a "Error executing bianary updater in zip" when trying to flash CM11 to Stock (have it currently running on Rom Slot 1 but want to get it in Stock to have all of the space on my phone available).

This is the last release of mattlgroff's DROID RAZR Utility allowing you to:

a. Flash a clean stock ROM to your phone while wiping data,
b. Flash a clean stock ROM to your phone while preserving data,
c. Root your stock ROM using the RAZR Blade root exploit by Dan Rosenberg, and
d. Install SafeStrap by Hashcode.

All credit goes to these original developers, all I have done... explanation expanded for those who have asked:
We all rely on the utility turned out by mattlgroff (long may he tinker!) and in no way did I want to look like I wanted to grab fame from someone else's work, but I recognized a couple of things that needed doing:

1. When Matt Groff left the building at RAZR Resort for greener phone pastures, the current official software for our XT912 was 98.72.16, the Jellybean OTA. In the spring of 2014, Verizon released a 5.79 MB OTA dubbed 98.72.165 which patched many system files and updated the radio files on our phones. Rumors ran rampant over whether this would make our phones unrootable and whether it was even necessary. One of the benefits included new network configuration to accommodate Verizon's plans for future system upgrades. I incorporated this firmware in Matt's Utility.

2. At the same time, the current version of Hashcode's SafeStrap utility, 3.11, was included in the utility by Matt. I replaced it with version 3.73, the now-current version.

3. Some of the early reports that the new release of Jellybean was unrootable were fueled by an intermittent failure of Dan Rosenberg's 'RAZR Blade' root exploit to successfully root 98.72.165. This was caused by the phone not remounting some partitions quickly enough during the process. I addressed this issue as well.

Under an agreement that neither Matt nor any of the other mentioned developers were pestered with issues related to my re-release of this utility, he gave me his blessing and even hosted the file on his Batakang server.

There you have it: instead of using the original utility, updating and fighting to preserve/get root, finding an updated SafeStrap; it is once again as easy as it was always supposed to be...

If you have any problems with my updated version of this utility, PLEASE do not pester these developers! They have all moved on from supporting this platform. Post in this thread, and I or someone else will try to help.

Thank you, Matt Groff, for this excellent utility, and for permission to redistribute your work!

Old thread, old phone, probably a long shot.
Both download links for the AIO XT912 Stock Utility are broken.

I have an XT912 on 4.1.2 and am trying to get it more up to date (at least up to Android 5) so I can use newer apps that require 5 as a minimum. I'm only using the phone for a music player and wifi (no plans to activate the phone or use with a sim card).

brkahughes - I hope that your health is well and, if you're still around here, perhaps you could reply. Thanks.
