Lightbulb [HOWTO] Recover Razr, from bad flash, corrupted ROM using RSD lite and Fastboot

So I have recently Flashed ARCTIC ROM and it all went bad, was stuck and bootloop and forgot to flash CWM recovery, so only had access to Motorola Recovery. After lots of research and time I managed to fix my phone here is how:

PLEAS BE AWARE: This is for GSM Droid Razr XT910, if you are using a CDMA Razr, you will need a different Fastboot file.

Download this fastboot file on your pc & extract the file:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts...stboot.xml.zip

Then download RSD lite from here & install it on your pc:

Install moto drivers on your pc here it is:

https://www.box.com/...it95qz8yjunedrg
*********************

Now open the Rsd lite on pc, browse an XML file that you extracted from fastboot files and put it on rsd,

Turn of your phone, click on vol- vol+ & power buttons at the same time, now you entered to boot menu,
Select Ap fastboot (vol- to scroll & vol+ to select)
Then connect phone to the pc via usb port,

When you see "connected" in rsd lite, click on start key on rsd & be patient to flashing fastboot files, it takes about 7-8 minutes. If you get an error, it means you have the wrong fastboot file, you must have the original fastboot file you had on your phone, ie UK must flash UK fastboot, EU must flash EU version etc.


Thank you zeidof for all your help, who told me how to do this!

It worked, that's awesome. Thank you a lot.

Is there a way to get The Arctic on to your phone without this happening? Or why did that happen to me?
