I am new at this. I was wanting to flash a rom on my razr maxx. I am rooted and have safestrap 3.11. My system is 6.16.215.XT912.   4.0.4        Would like to have JB but dont know which one is best or which would work on my phone. thanks

You can fully upgrade to JB
There are more ROMs that are fully supported for JB ....

Most (if not all) ICS ROMs are no longer supported....

I tried it but couldnt get it to work. It says put it in fastboot mode. I do that and nothing happens. The utility says waiting on phone. I couldnt get it to do anything. Thanks

Are you using the usb cable that came with the phone? you cant be using a usb 3.0 port and do you have the latest drivers?

 

Those are the usual culprits when it cant see the phone. 

 

You can also try to unplug the phone at that point and plug it back in to see if it recognizes it

Well well, I got it in fastboot mode. It wasnt successful and now I cant get it to normal mode. It just goes to the fastboot screen. Have I bricked my phone?

[johnthehillbilly]

Does it give a reason for the failure ?

If a flash falls at any point the device will always boot into fastboot until you flash something successfully. So don't worry..

I dont know what to do now

[johnthehillbilly]

You can try RSDlite (included in the utility) download the sbf/fxz file from here

Some have had better luck with it as opposed to the utility

As Kaos said, we just need to get something to flash properly. I would try the Utility again, or do as john said and try RSD to flash the phone.

Also...... are you on windows or Linux or Mac ?

"... try not, do! or do not! there is no try..."

[kysuperstar99]

Ok I am downloading it now. Hopefully I can get it back going

[kysuperstar99]

I am on Windows

[johnthehillbilly]

If you have access to Linux or Mac you could try it there.... (I have seen quite a few failures on windows lately) Typically the first two fastboot commands of the utility .... and if they fail the phone will not boot.... "... try not, do! or do not! there is no try..."

[kysuperstar99]

I got ot downloaded and cant tell nothing about it. It put all those folders on my desktop. Do you have to burn a disk or something. I dont see anything that says RSD lite. I know I am a beginner

[johnthehillbilly]

If you can't find in the utility you can get RSDlite here

[johnthehillbilly]

Install RSDlite to computer..... then put phone in fastboot.... connect to computer .... in RSDlite you will see a button that looks like this "..." press it, navigate to where you put the sbf file you downloaded..... select it and hit "decompress and start flashing" ....

Everything should run automatically from there ....

"... try not, do! or do not! there is no try..."

[cmh714]

you should see an RSD folder where you extracted the utiility

[kysuperstar99]

I got the utility dowloaded and have it on my desktop. Where do I go from here?
