Been lurking for a little while now, got the droid razr maxx hd about a month ago. Major upgrade from my old HTC INC2. Anyways last week i decided to root and unlock my phone (on JB 4.1.2) using the motochopper exploit, everything went well, flashed TWRP 2.5, rebooted the phone (stock rom) and now wifi will not turn on, tried wiping everything, FDR, nothing worked, it jsut hangs at "Turning Wi-Fi on..." Thought maybe a bug in the stock rom? So i flashed the Rage HD rom but to no avail. Before i rooted wifi worked fine. what happened?

Odd that it happened at root. You fdr'd, but did you try reflashing 4.1.2 completely?

On my DNA this problem is from the Kernel. I assume the same here. You can try to pull a boot.img from stock rom here and load it in fastboot. Or the easiest way would be to do a full fastboot of 4.1.2.

It is weird for sure. I would suggest using the 1.20 Utility to fastboot the phone back to stock. Or as I said above pull the boot.img and fastboot flash just that.

Man I have never seen that before... I am not an HD guy and it's been a bit since I played with the Utilities for my OG Razr.

 

I'm gonna move this thread to the Razr HD help section to get more eyes on it.

Are you out of space? Maybe Safe Strap Slots that need to be deleted?

You're not bricked yet. If you are boot looping hold all 3 buttons til the screen powers off then before the moto splash let go of the power button and keep holding the others. This is touchy you have to get the timing right. That should at least get you back into fastboot.

 

Edit.. I think I messed up the buttons... Try this:

 

First, press and hold both the VOLUME DOWN and the POWER BUTTON. Once the screen goes black, wait exactly 1 second, then press and hold ALL THREE BUTTONS, and don't let go until you see the Boot Mode Selection Menu (white letters on black background). Once in that menu, you need to make your selection in the next 10 seconds or so, otherwise it will reboot automatically

are you using Matts Razr HD Utility  Or flashing these things on your own? With Motorola, you need to use the Moto-fastboot version of "fastboot" as opposed to the version provided in the SDK, as the Motorola version allows the ability to break up larger partitions into smaller segments for flashing, while the AOSP version does not. But Matt includes the proper Fastboot binaries/executables with his tools, so I'm not sure if I WAY off base here. Just a question.

I first tried matts utility but kept getting the error I posted above. Tried to flash via rsd lite and it hung for about 40 minutes on In process.. I was able to turn the phone off and get back into fastboot, I gave up as it was getting late. I swapped my sim card to my xt912 and am using that for now until I can figure out how to unbrick the hd. Thanks for all the replies guys, it's much appreciated! I will report back after I give it another shot tonight

How charged is your battery? I've seen RSD lite give issues many times if the battery is not charged enough. Also as a suggestion put the 4.1.2 XML file directly in the RSD Lite install folder. Sometimes having it in a different location causes issues. 

 

BTW you meniotned is said in process, did oyu happen to notice wha tstep it was at or did it never get past step 1 of the 19 different steps it has to go threw when using RSD Lite

I don't remember what step, but it was when it was flashing the system file. As for the battery, I made sure it was at 100% before I started the process. I'll try putting the xml in the install folder. Thanks!

No wifi :( ok maybe i'll turn it off and put my sim card in.. so i do that, now it's stuck in a boot loop.... ugh
