phone is looping animation after installing rom PLEASE IM REALLY SCARED I BROKE IT

[TisMyDroid]

My Razr did the exact same thing. Jpcalhoun's suggestion is exactly what I did. After running option 1, I restarted phone to make sure all was fine. Then I installed the .215 leak, then rooted my phone using the same utility (starting with option 2), then flashed the DroidHD rom. All is fine.

Once back to stock, the instructions for the .215 leak is here:

Simple step by step instructions for rooting using Mattlgroff's utility (the same one you used to go back to stock) can be found on post #89 here:

And don't worry about setting usb debugging since you can't get into the menus

Don't worry about money. This is just 99.9999999999999% probably a bad flash.

Also, I have to recommend using Safestrap from now on.

Even if there is a bad flash, you still can boot into stock with no problems.

I have a question about that. With safestrap can all roms be flashed from safe side? I found that was really handy when i had a problem cause i could just go back to the non safe side and boot up stock

You can only flash from safe side. Most roms can be flashed with it.

it seems like no matter what i do, i cant get it to stop getting stuck on the animation. I cant get it to go away. is there any way someone has a video with a bricked phone that can show me step by step because im pretty sure im doing it right but some thing is not working. when i do the reset from the progrom it sometimes says error on the restore part.

Cannas, try these steps. Starts with getting back to stock .211 which you may want to do to play it safe...but it continues to rooting and installing safestrap.

Going back to stock .211:
*On your pc, download and install Matt's Razr Utility 1.8 or 1.81 or 1.82. You can find 1.82 here:
Droid Razr Utility 1.82 [Windows] For Verizon Droid Razr And Droid Razr Maxx Only - DroidRzr.com
*Extract that utility to its own folder on your computer...you must extract the file on your pc. It will not work from your phone.
*After the utility is extracted, go to the Motorola drivers folder in the utility and make sure you have the latest Motorola drivers installed on your pc.
*If you are able, make sure your phone is set to usb debugging mode (menu>system setting>developer options).
*Power your phone off. Then power your phone on while holding down your power, the volume up and volume down buttons simultaneously.
*Connect your phone to your computer with the factory supplied usb cable.
*On your phone select AP Fastboot, then in the utility select option 1..."restore phone to stock .211. Do not unplug the usb cable until the utility finishes.
*When competed your phone should reboot to stock .211.
*After running option 1, restart phone to make sure all is fine.

Install the .215 leak:
*check to make sure usb debugging mode is checked (menu-> system setting-> developer options).
*Then in settings, go to “Security" and check “Unknown sources."
*install the .215 leak following instructions here:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr-support/217843-mattyps-215-leak-classroom.html

Root your of Razr or Razr Maxx:
*Simple step by step instructions for rooting using Mattlgroff's utility (use the same utility that you used to go back to stock) can be found on post #89 here:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr-hacks/216562-droid-razr-utility-1-8-a-9.html
*If you plan on installing roms, install safestrap instead of bootstrap.

Safestrap:
*Once safestrap is installed, follow the steps in quidot's thread to prepare safestrap's safe and non-safe side so you are ready for those roms... http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr-hacks/200942-safestrap-guide-razr.html

Cannas91...are you saying that you have run the utility and it errors-out before completing? What exactly have you done, please explain. A couple of questions:
1) did you install the drivers supplied in the utilities "drivers" folder?
2) does your PC recognize your phone?
3) is your phone set to usb debugging?
4) are you using the usb cable that came with your phone?
5) when you connect your phone to your PC does your phone are you given (on your phone) the option of selecting mass storage or media device? If yes, select media device.
6) what version of the utility are you using and where did you get it from?

When you run the utility you may get an "error" during the process, this is normal depending on your phone but it does not mean the utility is not working. Even though you may think the utility has error-out it is still running. Are you getting a "failure" or "unsuccessful" report from the utility? From start to finish it takes the utility several minutes to restore your phone...do not stop/interrupt the utility for at least 5 minutes.

We need the answers to these questions to narrow down why you are unsuccessful restoring your phone back to stock .211.

He can't answer number three or five as his phone will not boot.


But the other questions are perfect.

Yeah I guess you're right. Hopefully he can/knows how to get into fastboot mode. I'm not sure he's successful/knows how to do that and not sure if he has the right drivers on his PC in order for the PC to recognize his phone and in order for the utility to run correctly.

Well, he did root it using his computer so the drivers are there. And there are three separate posts on how to get into fast boot mode....

Yeah I understand but I don't know how long ago he rooted it or what he used to root it with. Plus, the Motorola drivers have been updated recently so I'm not sure what drivers he's working with on the PC. If he doesn't have the updated drivers he'll never be successful getting the utility to run...and we don't know what version of the utility he is using. He needs to clarify and provide some additional information.

I will agree that the general vagueness is not helping.
