PURPOSE

The purpose of this thread is to provide XT925 owners with links and instructions on how to install the TWRP v2.2.2.1 custom recovery (touch version).


CREDITS

I take absolutely no credits at all for this. I don't know who ported TWRP for the XT925. All links and instructions come from this post from m.pierce. Many thanks to him/her.


REQUIREMENTS

- A Motorola RAZR HD XT925 with an unlocked bootloader
- Fastboot command line executables for Windows, Linux and Mac
- The TWRP recovery image
- [Optional] The Root.zip package (i.e install this package through the recovery to root your device)


INSTRUCTIONS

1/ Boot up your device in Fastboot Mode (while your device is on, hold Vol-/Vol+/Power buttons for a few seconds until the screen turns black, then release Power. Another few seconds later comes up the boot menu. Release Vol-/Vol+, then quickly press Vol- a few times to highlight "Fastboot" then Vol+ to trigger it).

2/ Back to your computer, make sure your fastboot files and the recovery image are in the same directory in order to proceed with the flashing, then run the fastboot command from a console/terminal:

Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-hdrecovery.img

That's it, you're done! From then on, you can use the custom recovery to make nandroid backups, install zipped package files, install custom ROMs, ...

For instance, if you want to root the currently installed ROM, you would install the Root.zip package.


HOW TO SWITCH TO THE CUSTOM RECOVERY?

While your device is on, hold Vol-/Vol+/Power buttons for a few seconds until the screen turns black, then release Power. Another few seconds later comes up the boot menu. Release Vol-/Vol+, then quickly press Vol- a few times to highlight "Recovery" then Vol+ to trigger it.


Enjoy!

I love Twrp.
I encountered an error trying to flash cm10 by epinter, but I got a problem " assert error getprop status 7" or something like that. Any idea on what should I do? I Googled and all the answers were "use cwm", but I hate it.
Thanks in advance!

I get the Droid with a red exclamation mark when trying to boot this. I followed the prompts exactly as required.

I have an XT925 running 4.1.2.

Thoughts?

For newly unlocked VZW Droid RAZR HD folks (xt926):
I've added the motorola specific fastboot binaries to my goo.im area:

http://goo.im/devs/Hashcode/vanquish/fastboot

Pick your OS and download the files to somewhere that you can run them from. Then place the recovery file in that same dir. Run the fastboot flash from a command window cd'd to that dir.

Also for XT926 users: I added a new build of TWRP 2.5.0.0 in the main folder for vanquish:

Enjoy.

Hi Hashcode. The 2.5.0.0 does not have the ability to use External SD for backup storage as the 2.4.4.0 does.
EDIT: Sorry, I stand corrected.

2.5.0.0 does have the option to backup to external SD. It's toward the bottom. It's a grey bar that says "Storage: Internal Storage." You tap that and you can switch it to Micro SD card."

THANKS for your support for the XT926 now that we're unlocked!

Additional: I was successful on my unlocked XT926 using 2.4.4.0 to backup existing stock rom, flash a different rom, then restore the original stock rom. I would use 2.5.0.0. but as I said it does not seem to support the External SD card. Also, when flashing the new rom I had to mount /system by checking in off in the settings. I was mistaken. 2.5.0.0 is fine. It does have the Ext SD option.
