1- Motorola Drivers

This is a must have software you have to install on pc or laptop, it's impossible for pc to detect your phone without this software, so do it

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

2- RSD lite

This is official software from Motorola to flash Fastboot files to the device, so you have to install the software on your pc or laptop,

After flashing a costum rom, you can revert to stock with this software, also when you are in a

bootloop you can go back to stock Rom with this software:

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

- download fastboot file you need from here

- extract it in a folder, you have a XML file here

- run RSD lite

- browse XML file to the empty box

- connect the phone to the pc via usb cable in AP Fastboot mode

- click start button on RSD & be patient to flash the files

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Some Tips of Razr i:

- when the phone is freezed or you are in a bootloop, you can force the device to power down, just push & hold Vol - and Vol+ and

power buttons at the same time for 10 seconds, the phone will be shut down

- for going to boot menu, first turn off the phone, then push & hold Vol buttons and power button at the same time

for about 10seconds, then you will enter to boot menu, now use Vol - button to scroll and Vol + to select an option.

- for going to Stock Recovery, you have to select "recovery" in boot menu, then you'll see a black screen with Android triangle in the middle, now you have to push Vol - + buttons at the same time to enter to recovery

Hi thanks for that - I have a Razr on its way to replace my Defy (running CM7 Maniac's version) - obviously I'll be wanting to root it, but wary of guarantee issues. I'm happy with the process of restoring a fastboot file - but can't see a T Mobile UK version on the link provided - has one been sourced yet? (I'm guessing that the Orange and T Mobile files are still different even though they are both now part of EE)

Cheers

Edit the xml file(with notepad) by removing gpt and motoboot line and then flash . It's been published on many threads by now.

You can take a screenshot by pressing simultaneously power and volume down. Our you can search Google Play Store for apps that do that

I've just ask a question in the specific section so sorry for posting again...
I have the message "Warning bootloader unlocked" on the phone after unlocking the bootloader and flashing cwm recovery.
With RSD lite we can go back to stock. This will erase the above message? Where can I find stock rom for flashing?
Thanks.
