Hey there, great site. Love it.

As a matter of forced circumstance I was only able to get my first android device very recently. I am soaking up all the knowledge I can, which is the drive behind this message.

Could you please clarify these life-saving instructions?

1) Download this zip >>>>>>>>>; Here
2) Exract the zip to your desktop. There will be a folder called Razr1
3) Open up a command window.
4) To get to that folder type>>>>>>> cd Desktop\Razr1
5) Now plug in your phone and put your phone is AP fastboot mode.
6) To flash the system type>>>>>>>; moto-fastboot.exe flash system system.img
This will flash your system in a few parts wait for it to compleate.
7) Type>>>>>>>>> moto-fastboot.exe reboot

5) What do I do once I plug the phone in? I assume it's the volume down + power press but then the phone just boots up, it won't stay there? Should I press power again to get it to shut down?
6) Do I type the entire 'moto-fastboot.exe flash system system.img', spaces as shown?

Thank you very much!!
Blake

PS - My phone is not bricked, just trying to gather all the knowledge I can so I know what to do when it happens

DirtyDroid, for your unbrick method does the Android SDK or ADB play any roll in this? Or is it only through command prompt?

Are there any risks with this method? I've had my Razr sitting on the wall charger for about 3 hours and the phone is completely off.

How long will it take to have enough charge to flash, and can it be harmful to the phone if it decides to shut off, due to low battery, while flashing?

Well , we have been waiting a while for this. Finally after many bricked devices and many Dev's waiting for a saftey net, to put out there Rom's and Mod's. We are saved from ourselves

I never use RSD I always like to do it the manual way. IMO is the best way to do it anyway. You will need the following files.

Now your phone will reboot. You are now unbricked .Jump up and down ,kiss your wife, dog , cat , whatever you want to do. Rejoice, you are back on a stock system. Remember you will have to root your phone again.


*****To flash the webtop package if you have too . Do this before you flash the system img.
1)Type>>>>>>moto-fastboot.exe flash webtop grfs.img (this will flash in a few parts)

If you have any issues please check your Moto drivers >>>>>>>>>>

Turn the phone off and hold both volume up and down in then hold in power for a few sec, then release just the power button. then select with the down key ,AP fast boot. Select with the volume up button. Also if the phone is off you can hold the volume up and power to get into fast boot also.

I feel like quite the n00b - I still cannot figure out how to boot into AP fast boot... I turned the phone off completely, I held in the volume up and powered it on while keeping the volume up held in and nothing but a normal boot up ... what part am I missing?!?!

Hold both volume up and volume down buttons at the same time while powering on...in other words hold down all 3 buttons

[Tmc363]

Hold just the volume down button and power to go straight to ap fastboot not the volume up button. You can hold power and both buttons which takes you to an expanded menu where u can also choose to go to fastboot.

That's exactly what I'm trying to figure out as well... I'm currently attempting to charge from the "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)" screen... Tried for several hours from the "Motorola Logo" screen previously and that didn't seem to be working...

Same here. Also tried to charge for 8 hours today with the phone completely off and it still didn't have enough juice. Still said battery low cannot program when booted into AP fastboot.

Right now I am trying to charge it through the PC with the phone completely off; with this method the LED notifier is illuminated white, so it's gotta be doing something besides just sitting there. After a while of charging, I should just be able to hold both volume buttons and hit the power button to get to AP fastboot without a low battery warning. If no success, I am definitely buying a TBH factory cable tonight or in the morning.

The inventory is low (less than 10 cables left) and going fast.

If you think you are going to need a TBH cable..better not wait.

Is AP Fastboot Mode different than Safestrap? Can you have both installed?
