Hello,
This is my first post and im sure some of you are already thinking "good job moron",, but i'm still learning and, now that i'm in a jam, i could really use some help. I have a razr maxx hd 9.18.76.xt926 i think. running 4.1.2 rooted. I was excited to see the newer towelroot method to allow me to not only unlock my bootloaders, but also upgrade to kk. But i can't find coherent instructions to upgrade with locked bootloaders in order to use tr. But anyway, in my attempt to get kitkat on my phone i found myself playing with a safestrap recovery based on TeamWin's product. it was installed correctly and i had partitioned slots and wiped one. then apparently i accidentally mounted it and rebooted. so i guess imnot surprised that im stuck in a loop, as there is nothing to load. but i can;t find a way out. I've installed sdk, i have rsd(tho i can't get samarai's rsd.jar to download as a .jar and run, it just unzips and there is no obvious executable, and yes i have java runtime7), I have a boot.img backup of my phone from yesterday, a couple kk builds that wont flash either due to the current conditions or b/c my bootloaders are still locked. and i'm stuck, I can boot into the boot mode selection menu but the only thing in it that works is fastboot and again, my bootloaders are locked and nothing seems to flash correctly from my pc. In rsd, the window can't gather the stats for my phone, it just says n/a in all the fields. but then again, myphone is either actively resetting, in the boot menu for 10 seconds(timed) or fastboot, so i assume it never enters a mode where it properly communicates with rsd.
I'm pretty sure it's not charging during this process so i am pretty scared that the battery is gonna die and i'm really screwed. So any help at all, esp. prompt assistance would be greatly appreciated. I can usually surf until i find a way to overcome whatever problem i'm having, but it seems to be getting harder recently, maybe because i have an older phone, or maybe b/c there are so many phones out now that specific instructions that pertain to one in particular are more far between... but regardless, i'm at the mercy of all of you and the android gods. I just hope that someone will find it in themselves to take a minute and try to lend me a hand with this. i cannot afford a new phone and i've only had this one for a month or so. If it dies i'm going analog, i.e. 2 cans and a string, I appeal to the empathy of other phone owners out there who might be able to help. Thanks so much in advance.
