Hey guys

I tried doing research on this to solve my own problem, but I'm affraid I just have too many questions and I don't want to (further) damage this phone. I believe I just need to be pointed in the right direction, and hopefully I can handle it from there.

It's a Verizon Droid Razr Maxx... Bought it on ebay with a cracked screen. The auction stated that it was stuck on the boot screen (moto logo and says dual core), and indeed it is. I can, however, get it into the boot menu. I replaced the screen and I installed my charged battery out of my other maxx so I can try to fix this one.

Can I/should I flash it back to stock (assuming I'm able to)? Without knowing anything else about this phone, I'm not sure if I should flash it back to GB or ICS. Is there another way to get it to boot up again?

I'm mechanically inclined, and good at following directions, but I have never rooted, rommed, or flashed anything before (but I have loaded the .215 leak onto my other Maxx!).

Can you help me? Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks.

Kyle

Thanks for the reply. That's kinda what I was thinking, but now I feel more confident going forward.

Next question. I went to

and tried to download MRU, but neither link will work. Am I missing something? Do I have to pay and join filefactory? Or am I just being stupid?

Thanks again

Before using the utility, you might want get ahold of the seller and find out for sure if it is GB or ICS..... so you can use the proper utility ..... else you may brick your phone.....

sent from my tapatalked DROID RAZR....from somewhere between lost and found....

Well, I used the utility and it said it was flashed successfully. Then I tried booting and it is still stuck on the Moto dual core screen. I also cannot get to the boot menu anymore. Am I completely screwed now, or is there some way to proceed from here?

Since I'm now at work, I havn't been able to re-attach the battery to see if it will let me get back to the boot menu again. I'll try again tomorrow with the new link you posted. Thanks!

Yes, I already had the phone open to swap in a charged battery. I disconnected it so it wouldn't drain the whole time I'm at work.
