My bootloader wasn't unlocked, but all the other ones just get in a boot-loop where it just loads the SS recovery screen over and over again. Going to attempt on BL-unlocked with CWM now...

I dont know where to post it... I think should be here but also in roms but could be in general :
I am not responsible for any damages to your phone, please follow steps in order do not skip, and know that if you want to go back to original you will have to fastboot... If you dont understand a step.. ask
If It works pass it on and like the post. thank you :
- Create a ROMSlot1
- Flash the custom ROM to ROMSlot1
- Bootup the ROM
- Configure your ROM to your liking (this is if you have other flashable mods like DST or a different SuperUser)
- Reboot into Recovery
- Make a Backup of your ROM (save it to external storage)
- Switch to Stock partion (you know you in stock when "install" and System" turn to red font)
- wipe Phone (cache, Dalvik, Factory Reset, System, and finally Internal storage)
- restore back up (if done right the only file available will be the back up you just made)
- Confirm restore
- DONE!!! enjoy your custom rom in stock partition
So I downloaded the Eclipse ROM for my Razr M, and I have it on my SD card. I created the ROM Slot 1, and that went through fine. When it was time for me to go ahead and install/flash the ROM, the screen says that it cannot install the .zip and then gives me a failed message. So I'm curious... is it the ROM I'm using? I followed the few steps that I could to do it, and it just didn't work. Any thoughts?
Edit: I decided to go with the EnergyROM and was able to flash it with no errors. I'm pretty sure that this ROM wouldn't be compatible with the way I have my phone set up (Safestrap v3.12, locked bootloader, and I was running 4.1.2, but now I'm on 4.1.1.)

Which version of Eclipse did you use? This might be issue I was talking about on XDA, where the system versions don't match and you might not be able to get the ROM to flash.
edit: I just saw your post on XDA, but I can't log onto the forum at work. You need Eclipse v1.2, not v5.0.

Okay so if we have a backup of our Stock ROM and we wish to return to stock we have to do it through Fastboot? We couldn't wipe system from Stock slot and/or restore our backup from SS?

No fastboot needed, you can "restore" in the stock slot on SS, but you can't "install" on the stock slot. When I first started using this phone, with SS, I didn't realize there was actually a difference, so I tried to install my backup and no workie. Restore would've worked, but my mistake required me to fastboot to recover the phone.

So say we install over stock by following the steps in the OP but after a week we're like "eh I want my Stock back" we just go into SafeStrap and restore our Stock Backup??

Yeah, that should work.

hmm.... in my experience, I don't think that would work - since you are replacing your stock slot with a custom ROM, you are, essentially, over riding your stock ROM completely. you may have to RSD/fastboot or some other stock restore utility to get it back.

Sorry for bringing up a old topic, but if I had done this using cm10.1 or cm10.2 should it work? My understanding is the only issue would be the kernel, but doesn't flashing the system replace the kernel as well? Thanks and have a great day!

system and kernels are 2 separate and different files all together... safestrap only allows to flash system unless hashcode get kexeck or whatever it was called to flash kernels in other droids. so to answer your question it will fail flashing unless you take boot.img off and replace it with stock but i highly doubt it will work.
