Danifunker, your rooted JB ROM does not work on Fido. I get stuck at a Rogers logo. Thanks for trying at least. I wish this weren't so frustrating.

Can you try pulling your SIM out and running a factory reset? Once completed, see if your phone can boot into the Rogers mode. If it can, power off the phone, then try to put your SIM in. Let me know of this works. The Rogers and Fido versions are dynamic based on SIM inserted, it might have a configuration hiccup, but this should help.

Now it boots but it still shows the Rogers logo and it has all the Rogers software installed instead of Fido. I also have lost LTE. Do you know how I can get the phone into Fido mode?

I also have a "fastboot stickybit" that keeps popping up every time I power on and I can't flash to other ROMs. :(

Ok now my phone won't power on at all. It just goes to the charging battery icon. My phone is bricked.

People, be warned - this method can brick your phone and you can no longer flash to other ROMs! Danifunker IMO you need to pull down your files until this is resolved.

So with no SIM, you were unable to boot? What happened without SIM?

PS, try to unplug your phone from the cable.

I didn't bother booting with no SIM. I installed your ROM, did a factory reset, and it boots fine, it's just I can't reboot and I can't install other ROMs now. :(

I will try again in a bit with no SIM.

Ok now it's rebooting fine, but I'm still in Rogers mode. If I can get it into Fido mode I will be happy. Thanks for all your help!

Try with no SIM, then boot in recovery, and do a factory reset. Finally, install the Fido SIM then boot up

Do you know why we are unable to flash other ROMs in RSD lite after flashing your JB ROM? I even tried the Droid Razr Utility to restore to 4.0.4 and it errored out as well. :(

I think this package upgrades the phone entirely.

For Fido, please try my idea, if it doesn't work, you can copy the files on /system/multiconfig/ap/331 to their respective folders and change the permissions to 744.

Okay so I tried your method and it's still not working. All I get is the Rogers software.

What happened to just sticking with the Rogers ROM and doing the no SIM, factory reset, then insert SIM idea? I'm pretty sure that will fix everything.

Hey I'm back on JB and I noticed 1 issue... I don't know if it's really an issue but it's bugging me. Carrier shows up as RC on Rogers and apktool hits me with errors when I try recompiling SystemUI.apk to remove it. Do you have that or does it show Rogers?

Edit: I managed to recompile the systemui but keeps crashing. I'll leave it this way if RC for Rogers is normal...

Look, see if you have a file "spn-conf.xml". The carrier name might be coming from there.

Does the RC (for the carrier name "Rogers") is fixable in the spn-conf.xml ?

I've managed to change the "RC" by editing the spn-conf.xml file and remove the letters RC, or changing the file's permission (uncheck read permissions for group and other). Either way, the carrier name goes back to "Rogers" which is carrier #302720.

    User Generated Rogers RAZR HD Fastboot XML file

    To those with unlocked bootloaders who want to try to get back onto Rogers Stock - Jelly Bean edition.

    Again, you need to be unlocked in order for this to work (your warranty is already void)

    chgrbt from XDA has provided me with a user generated fastboot file. After a couple of people tried it on here, they weren't successful so I added some extra steps to the flash process.

    This is about a 500 download, compressed with 7zip.

    http://d-h.st/9xj

    Once downloaded, extract the files to a folder, be sure your phone can communicate with the computer in fastboot mode. Then run install.bat or linuxflash.sh in Linux (for Linux you need to chmod 775 on the file).

    You CANNOT flash this with RSDLite, you must use the install.bat in the folder in windows, or Linuxflash.sh in Linux.

    If you have any failures, try run flash-partition.bat under the Partition folder. This is the original file that was included with the Rogers fastboot provided by the firmware team, and was not patched or updated in the Jelly bean update. Once you've flashed the "partition" partition, try re-running install.bat.

    You should be on Rogers JB Stock (with rooted) after this process, but I can't guarantee. Let me know if there are any problems, I hope this works!

    If this post helped you please thank me and the one above this one by chgrbt!

    Personally, I'm not blown away with JB compared to ICS. Been on JB for a couple weeks now. The phone was very fluid with ICS, so I'm not seeing a benefit from JB's "butter", also I'm not using any of the software upgrades like Google Now. I'm actually a bit disappointed that I can't easily regain the home screen space when I disable the Google search bar like I did in ICS.

    Time will tell but based on what I've seen so far, ICS was fine for me.

    How I Got Back Root...

    I lost root too with just voodoo :(

    Can you provide a quick step by step? Will this work if I already updated to JB with voodoo backup?

    Okay, it will be rather simple since I only did a couple of steps:

    1. Before I updated to 4.1.2, I downloaded and installed Voodoo Root Keeper. I ran the app which gave me the status of having "SU protected".

    2. I received the update message for OTA update. I accepted the various terms and let the update complete. I don't know if it makes a difference, but like the first time I setup the phone, I did not allow the phone to be "configured for the SIM". (I'm on Koodo, so no need from Roger/Fido bloat).

    3. I ran Voodoo again after the update, and tried to "Restore Root". The status came back as my phone was not rooted. I verified in Android Terminal and Root Explorer that I did NOT have root access anymore.

    4. A quick search with Root Explorer and I found the back (su-backup) at /system/user/we-need-root/su-backup.

    5. I Googled a bunch of things and found that Matt's Root Restore script could work. I downloaded it from:

    http://www.batakang.com/ftp/DROID_RAZR/RestoreRoot.zip

    6. I ran the script from my PC with the phone connected. It looks for the su-backup file in a number of places in the phone and then places it back in the /system/xbin directory which seems to get wiped during the upgrade. Watch the script for a small number required inputs. If the script works, you will need to provide an input on your phone to grant SU access, just like when you were rooted before.

    7. This script installs SuperSU on your phone, so currently I have both SuperUser and SuperSU. I have asked the script writer if I can uninstall the old SuperUser app without issue. I will post back with his answer.


    Does this help?

    Did it work for anyone else?

    Some edits that should be brought to the files before starting ANYTHING!
    Go to the Windows folder, drag out the directory to the same level folder as the fastboot.bat script
    After you'Ve done this, RENAME! the fastboot.bat script Or you will get stuck in a loop since the script refers to fastboot.exe as fastboot, but since there is both fastboot.exe and fastboot.bat it's refering to itself. So just rename it to install.bat and double click and run :)

    @Danifunker : Works! But you have to make the changes I mentionned or else nothing's gonna happen it's gonna keep refering to itself and looping at first line. Make those changes and re-up and it's gonna work perfect! (I replaced recovery.img by cwm so I can't do it for you)

    Click to collapse

    I just re-wrote the script so it calls Windows\fastboot, the new URL 7 shouldn't require you to make the changes as mentioned above.

    Can you post 2 screenshots of your about screens (one top part, one bottom part)?

    Thanks!
