Hold all three buttons for about five to ten seconds. It should hit right to fast boot screen. Then scroll down with volume down then volume up to select..when you see the android belly up hit both volume buttons together real quick.

I was wondering if anyone might know why this happened:

I received the ICS OTA during the soak, went to restore a few settings to default that I had changed so I could get a stock backup of build.prop, and upon rebooting, my phone boot looped.

However, once I reflashed the .211 leak and got everything working again, I noticed I'm missing hundreds of entries when I open up com.motorola.android providers.settings - Settings.db - Settings. When I received the ICS OTA, I had entires up to the upper 600's, with most going in numerical order and not skipping; but once I reflashed however, now I only have entries to the upper 200's, but only about 150 or so total entries as it skips numerical order quite a bit.

Did you know why this might be happening?

try shutting the phone completely off then holding all three buttons until you see a screen with white writing. if it doesnt work then you arent doing it right because I just did it

I know I'm beating a dead horse here but I'm at my wit's end. I've followed the tutorial. I unzipped the 6.12.181 file on my sd card. Loaded the drivers on 2 separate laptops along with the Utility 1.7. One machine is running Windows 7, the other XP. No matter what, I'm getting the error " The System Cannot Find the Path Specified" it then says that I may reboot into recovery and install 6.16.211. I get an error that the update failed.

What the heck am I missing here? Surely, I'm not that dumb. I've never had this kind of issue, even back in my Crackberry days.

Did you select to format both data/factory and cache partition?

you dont unzip the .181 file leave it zipped when you place it on your sd card, its the utility that you are supposed to extract also look in the help thread for this utility as well, you have to extract the whole file to your desktop and if it still doesnt work run, run as administrator

[steveninspokane]

Thank you all for your help.

I was able to enter stock recovery, however, when I use volume and scroll down to BP Tools and then press the up volume on BP Tools, it just starts the loading of the OS and does not show me any thing in the BP Tools.

if you are trying to root then you dont go to BP tools go to recovery, when you select recovery the moto screen will pop up again then you will see the android laying on his back with an exclamation mark, when you see this press the vol up and vol down at the same time, a menu will pop up, you should do a factory reset and wipe cache after that reboot then you should be able to use the utility to root the phone if that is what you were trying to do

read the thread for the 1.7 utility help , extract the WHOLE file to your desktop, make sure you install the drivers then try to run the utility again if you still get errors then try to run as administrator. All the answers are in these threads. Like I said there is even a help thread for this utility as well as a chat room.

I don't mean to sound callus, but it would make your life easier if you actually read the information provided, and most importantly the directions, whenever you're doing something somewhat advanced to your phone. Matt (mattlgroff) is an amazing dev and teacher... he doesn't just write stuff in a post simply to write it or waste your time. Read what he (and other devs) write in their posts and simply follow their directions.

I keep getting alerts from all these users who it appears either didn't read the directions, or didn't follow them. I understand that we all make mistakes (I've made plenty with my phone), but when user after user are having all these issues on a very self explanatory issue, it starts to become apparent posts aren't being read, directions aren't being followed. Failing to do so simply causes whomever is doing it a lot of unneeded grief and problems; as well as costing other members their time by having to repost what was already posted in the original post.

I'm not saying don't ask for help if you have a problem, that's obviously what forums are for... but give enough respect to the Dev (matt) to actually read and understand what he's written and the directions he's given. I've been using various versions of his droid utility now for almost a year and I've yet to run into a problem that couldn't be figured out by doing some reading and searching on either this forum, xda, google, or another forum. Rooting and modding your phone already shows you're intelligent, so quit selling yourself short and educate yourself... to not do so is a grave injustice to yourself.

Thanks Matt.

For some reason my computer isn't able to open the ZIP/RAR file that the droid razr utility is in. it says, "! C:\Users\Satoshi\Downloads\DroidRazrUtility1.7forICS.zip: Unexpected end of archive" and "! C:\Users\Satoshi\Downloads\DroidRazrUtility1.7forICS.zip: The archive is either in unknown format or damaged"

do you guys know anything thats wrong that may be causing this? or is it the file thats corrupt? my computer? any advice would be awesome!

Sounds like an incomplete or corrupted download.

lol Im not saying that it doesn't, I was just trying to explain another way that they could do it. He obviously didn't know what to expect when using the BP tool option which is no fault to them if they are completely new to this stuff. I wasn't trying to step on your toes or say that that particular method was wrong. If it came out that way I apologize. I have never had any problems with any of the utilities but I agree that there is not much reading going on in these threads prior. It seems as if they jump right in and then when a problem comes around and they have potentially have bricked their phone they panic and send out an SOS lol.
