The Below Is From MATT (The BatMan):
I would like to share my utility to all who could use it, no matter what website they are on. Not going to apologize for previous comments, but I am putting those matters aside for the good of the users here.... In any event.
Enjoy this utility tool for your Razr. There are LITE and full versions for each model (XT910 and XT912). The XT910 full has fastboot files for 651.73.30 EUAustralia version I believe they are anyway. Sorry if they are not useful, I am not familiar with XT910 things. The XT912 full has fastboot files to 6.11.744.
Other features can be seen on the screenshots. Only difference with LITE is they have a removed fastboot option or broken fastboot option where you can replace them if you like.

THE 173 FASTBOOT FILES WILL WIPE YOUR INTERNAL SD CARD.
BE FOREVER WARNED. BACKUP AND BE SAFE
(BUT MY 1.41 PATCH FIXES THIS! )
Replace the .bat in your folder with this new one, and extract the files into your current files folder. After fastboot it will show a "triangle" where you press both volume keys to bypass it. Then choose "wipe cache" then reboot.
