Will XT907 ROMS work on XT905?

drshellgon · Jun 9, 2014

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of getting a RAZR M and since I'm in Australia, I just want to know if XT907 roms like http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735565 and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735587 will work on the Australian version of the RAZR M.

I've seen this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2329570 but it doesn't really say much about Cyanogenmod.

Thanks, any reply will be appreciated

There's already a thread here.

Do you know any stable CM roms? Preferably 10.1, 10.2 and 11

Thanks

You just have to look at CM's own site. The older CM10 builds are obsoleted now, the newer CM11 ROMs are here. Since most of the CM versions have never been really "stable", there's no "stable" and "RC" labels anymore, just "Nightly" and "M Snapshot". The latest Snapshot "M7" was just released yesterday.

Oh haha thanks so M Snapshot is the best to use for daily use right?

lem22 · Jun 11, 2014

Not sure about this, since I don't have an XT905. Did you follow the instructions?
Did M6 work for you? Or what version did you update from?

If you're going for CM11, yes.

Then it seems to be a problem with the recovery.
Do you have the latest CWM (right now it's 6.0.4.4)?

Try CarbonROM, really good kitkat rom in my opinion

and as for this error you will have to add xt905 in it or remove getvar lines. google it . (not confirm. just came in my mind)

Is it possible to update to Cyanogenmod if your Razr M is already running Jelly Bean? Cos the Australian version comes preloaded with Jelly Bean and I don't know if there's any way to downgrade it back to ICS to unlock the bootloader.

No, your bootloader has to be unlocked. But since the Australian Razr M is not a Verizon phone, there's no need for exploits etc.
You can unlock it the official way.

From your URL, is this the link I should be using? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1928551

And additionally, even after unlocking the bootloader, don't I have to somehow downgrade back down to ICS to flash http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1928551

Thanks

Yes, according to the posts there it should be possible through Moto's site.

It's not about ICS, it's about having a firmware with an unpatched exploit for the unlock and the latest even was a JB one. But this is only for Verizon devices and there is no way to downgrade with a locked bootloader anyway.

So, if your bootloader is locked, you cannot downgrade. If it's unlocked you don't have to downgrade (because it would be only for the unlock...).

Thanks, but one more question: with CM11 at this link here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Moto_msm8960_Info, is the 9.18.79 firmware JB?

lem22 · Jun 16, 2014

It says

This can only be accomplished on stock firmware versions prior to 9.18.79

Since the builds are unified for all the 2012 Razrs, 9.18.79 is for Razr HD (yes, it's JB and the latest unlockable was JB too).

But since yesterday and the new towelroot this is already a bit outdated, because even newer KK firmwares seem to be unlockable again (until Moto patch it another time).

Oh haha thanks so much happening with the RAZR M recently. So since this info is probably outdated, should I just wait a while for everything to get up to date before thinking about flashing?

Will XT907 ROMS work on XT905?
