Tutorial: Restore Verizon Droid Razr M KitKat (4.4.

2)
firmware
If you've done something to your Droid Razr M (version 4.4.2 - KitKat) and now it won't boot and
you've tried everything else to fix the problem and are just about to toss it in the trash as a
bricked device, try re-installing the factory default firmware:

1. On your PC, install the latest Motorola drivers and reboot

2. Connect your phone to your PC using the USB cable and make sure your phone battery is
charged 100% (if not, wait until fully charged)

3. On your phone, hold down power, volume up, and volume down buttons
simultaneously. When the device powers off, let go of the power button but keep holding down
the volume up and volume down buttons until the bootloader screen appears.

4. Quickly press the volume down button until AP Fastboot is highlighted and then press the
volume up key.

5. The screen should now be in fastboot mode and should say "Battery OK" and "usb
connected" (note: if it says "Battery low", use these instructions to charge your phone)

6. On your PC, download the Motorola version of fastboot {credit: mattlgroff}

7. Extract the fastboot file for your operating system to somewhere in your PATH. For example,
on Linux:
 chmod +x fastboot
 sudo mv fastboot /usr/bin/
8. Open a terminal command prompt and type fastboot devices

9. You should see something like {SERIAL NUMBER} fastboot

10. On your PC, download the appropriate Android firmware:


 If you plan on installing a custom ROM (like CyanogenMod), download version 4.1.2
(JellyBean): VRZ_XT907_9.8.1Q-94-1_CFC {credit: skrilax_cz} (this is due to issues with GPS
and WiFi, like this bug)
 If you just want to run the stock Verizon OS, download version 4.4.2
(KitKat): VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF {credit: skrilax_cz}
 Note: if you updated to the most recent Verizon update (version 183.46.15) before your phone
crashed, you'll need to use VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_1FF (but that's a last resort
since you won't be able to unlock your bootloader, if desired)
11. Extract the zip file contents to a temporary location on your PC
12. In a terminal command prompt, browse to where the extracted files are located and then
type the following commands (one at a time):

fastboot -w
KitKat (4.4) ONLY: fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash
sbl1 sbl1.mbn
