Hi,
I'm a newb to phone tech so bear with me. I have a Razr V (XT885) on Virgin Mobile up
here in Canada. For some mysterious reason, native android device encryption support has
been disabled on this phone. I asked about it on Motorola's forums, but they had nothing
helpful to say about it.
So I'd like to maybe see if I can get some other ROM on this phone. Thing is, I'd like
to be able to completely revert it to factory if I need warranty support. I've searched
for people doing such with this phone and I didn't find much. Apparently this isn't a
very popular phone. That's why I'm asking for help.
-I rooted the phone.
-I have access to another phone (my wife's) that has never been rooted/altered.
After rooting the device, I'm not sure how to:
-make a backup of the factory-set system to enable complete factory restore. Seems like
the rooting process adds files to the /system directory that are still there after a
system restore. Not sure how to deal with that.
-what tools/techniques to actually use to do this.
-how to recover from "soft bricking" the phone.
I'd appreciate any help you guys can offer.
Thanks
