Step 1: Download RazrBootstrap.apk [DROIDRZR] and CWMOnBoot [XDA]. Transfer CWMOnBoot directly under the /sdcard directory on your RAZR. We will be flashing this in a later step.
Step 2: On your RAZR, enable Unknown sources from Settings > Applications so you can sideload APKs. Once this option is enabled, you must open the RazrBootstrap.apk, install it and boot into recovery from it.
Step 3: Once you enter recovery, select install zip from sdcard > choose zip from sdcard > RAZR-CWMOnBoot-Global-J.Y.Daddy.zip
Step 4: After flashing, reboot your device.
Step 5: Launch SuperUser > RazrBootstrap and set the status of Razrbootstrap to denied. The developer has emphasized that this is very important.
Step 6: Reboot again.
If you followed the steps correctly, ClockworkMod Recovery will be flashed to your Motorola DROID RAZR and you can use it to flash custom ROMs. Now, every time you reboot, you will boot into recovery. You must select reboot option to boot normally. If you enter a bootloop, press and hold Volum Down + Power buttons for about five seconds.
