Root CWM for razr maxx

[eaglesbaby]

Hey everyone.
I'm sort of a noob to root and recovery. I got the ICS update - is this Clockworkmod sticky still applicable with the update? Or do I need to use Safestrap 2.0?

Thanks! Sorry for being such a noob

You must use bootstrap ics or safestrap 2.0 if u want to flash roms

Use safestrap. Stay away from bootstrap. Most roms require you to use safestrap. And it's safer just make sure you read up and learn how to use it right

Is there a writeup anywhere on doing this? I rooted a friends Razr and all i need to do now is install a recovery but i cant find a write up. He is on 4.0.4 software version:6.16.211.XT912.Verizon.en.US

Looking to flash roms.. But the roms come as zips so I'm a bit confused with all of this..

You should do some more research...
All custom roms come as zip files.

You asked what i wanted to do. Flash roms or zips. I said roms come as zips. So i dont know where i need to do more research. Im asking for help, if you want to be rude then dont reply.

By flashing zips he means something different than a rom. Example, Google now comes in a zip file that you would flash. It's just what we call it. But I would use safe strap for zips, and for roms. You cant have both of them installed on your phone or bad things will happen.

Well that's all I needed to know.. I didn't think you could have 2 at the same time. Thank you
