Hi,
i have a European Razr I with locked bootloader on JB OTA update, stuck on boot loop. The bootloader can not be unlocked due to the JB update. That means I cant flash anything over 100mb.
I have tried to flash with RSD some ROMs that are under 100mb and recommended for Razr I on JB.
They are (81.5.31002-81.5.39001.XT890.Retail.en.GB, 81.5.32002-81.5.40002.XT890.Retail.en.EU), both Zip files.They decompress in RSD but error out with following msg
"Please check input file. Either XML format is wrong or image files associcated is missing".
I cant find any ROMs 100mb or less with an XML file in it. The bigger ROMs do but they error in the flashing process at step 8 of due to the file size bigger than 100mb.

I also tried to install the 100mb rom in fastboot mode from external sd card but got the error msg below.
Can it be flashed this way or only through RSD?

I am hoping there is a custom ROM for a phone in my situation that can be flashed?.

Thanks but this will not work as one of the files is over 100mb.
I read some where there was a way to edit the xml file to over ride this,is that true?

I tried all versions of RSD Lite but still getting 'Please check input file. Either XML format is wrong or image files associcated is missing' with 81.5.39002-91.2.26001.O2.en.DE 4.0.4-4.1.2 found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028814.

I went through lot of threads and there was something about a specific xml file, but I didn't find out where can I get it. Also every secon URL is not available any more so it is hard to try something...

Can someone help me?
