Factory Restore

i want to root my phone but Sprint seems to have patch the root exploit, so i am thinking of doing a factory restore.
does anyone know what software version it will resort back to, currently i am on 2.3.4.

You will still be on 2.3.4 you need to search for the method then reds until your head hurts

This root method works wonders nothing is more better then to learn to manually root your device. Of course you can use the tool provided in the, the development forums, but I personally enjoy learning to do things without the use of developed tools.
If you need help feel free to ask we are here to help ^_^
Good luck don't turn your device into a brick READ READ AND READ FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY HOW THEY ARE YOU WILL BE A OK.

Use the manual method by Indirect if you want to have more control over what you're doing (also does not void your warranty) and definitely read read read
I would recommend at least going through the whole "user" section of xda-university before even touching your phone, it has tons of useful information

Definitely, also just FYI but when you do a factory restore that simply wipes all app data (both user and system apps)

Best advice I can give you is to Read, Read, Read, and Read some more. Use the search function a ton, as it will help you to get used to resolving issues in the future. Because sometimes even when people are willing to help, answers are hard to come by. Also there are a few links you can check out in my Signature. The Shift community is one of the Best anywhere, so you picked the right device to learn Android with . Welcome to a great forum.

Na i was using you shift rootility tutorial, but i screwed up and put the wrong PG06IMG.zip in the $path. there was 2 versions a 12.7MB and a 227MB one. i didn't realize that i needed to do the 227MB to downgrade first then after it's downgraded then use the 12.7MB one.
so i stopped mid way through and tried to boot normally, which sent me into a boot loop. doing a factory restore fixed the boot-loop and now i am starting over again.
BTW CNexus you have some dead links in your Tut.
You will be on older radios after rooting. Download the ZIP with the most recent radios, WiMAX, and touchscreen firmware from HERE or HERE.

It doesn't matter, you can do it anytime after you have rooted (make sure you flash it in bootloader and not through recovery though)

@OP
I didn't get enough information as to why the firmware upgrade was failing. I was also going you could pull an xml fastboot for me from your existing setup if you are still rooted.
Please download this software https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tranquilice.toolbox and make an xml backup of you're current phone. I also want the XML backup but it it's very large, so you should break it up into 100mb files using 7 zip and re-compress it. Then post it to your Dropbox. Don't worry this backup doesn't have any personal data.
Then you can download the update file from my Dev-host account here :
http://d-h.st/JNV
And save the file to your external sdcard.
Boot into recovery, then try to apply the update from sdcard, and write down exactly all the information it says (maybe take a picture of it using another camera). And send me all the information.
How to boot into recovery:
1) Power off phone completely
2) press and hold both volume buttons and at the same time press the power button.
3) use the volume down button to navigate the the recovery option, then press volume up.
4) an Android on the side will appear, now tot can proceed with updating
How to apply update in recoveyr mode:
1) press and hold both volume buttons while pressing power button
2) a menu will appear, use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select the option to update from external sdcard
3) find the update file and press the power button on it.
4) watch the update, if it fails please tell me all error messages, hopefully tot can take a picture for me.

I have a fido motorola razr hd lte and rooted. I tried several times upgrading to Jelly Been using OTA and all failed.

Did you try to modify the update package? It looks like the update package doesn't have the same signature as it should.
Do not try to open up the ZIP file provided, just place it on the external SD card without touching it.
If you get another error after that, please the new error.

I'm having the same problem cause I deleted the bloat ware from my Rogers phone. From what I've been reading, I'm thinking about just staying on the 4.0.4.

"FDR" -> Factory/Full Data Reset does not replace applications that have been deleted.
The only way to fix is to put them back or RSD/Flash back to stock.
I hate these threads.
People remove apps and wonder why the upgrade doesn't work.
Don't remove factory applications, freeze/disable them!!!!!
Removing them will remove the ability to upgrade until the OS is back to stock.
The installer checks to make sure that the system and application area is untouched.

RSD Lite Not Reading Device

Okay, so I have used RSD Lite before with no problem. I need to flash my entire device back to stock before tomorrow, but the program is not reading my phone. Motorola Device Manager is installed, same setup I had last time I had to flash after soft bricking...I can't figure it out. Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you.

Are you in Windows? I find Windows pretty annoying when it comes to certain drivers. You might have a look in Device Manager while your phone is plugged in(maybe check with the phone is fastboot mode too), and see if there are any Moto related drivers that have a yellow exclamation point. If so, perhaps reinstalling Device Manager will fix it? Good luck

I do have a driver installer downloaded on my computer, but I don't know if it would help you. I will attach it here just in case.
I had this issue a month back, but Moto Device Manager ended up being the solution for me. I have RSD Lite 6.1.5, and it sill recognizes my device in fastboot mode.

Oh, by the way, you should check out the Dev Host site (google it), they provide free file uploading and sharing for, well, developers (or anyone for that matter). Only 500 MBs worth of storage is provided for free, but that really is all I need. Anyway, I'll try your advice and let ya know.

Okay, now this is weird! I have my system back up and running, but I can only load it by starting the bootloader and choosing "normal startup"; otherwise my device boots into fastboot automatically every time I power down. Seems like I can't utilize stock recovery either when I flash it (otherwise I am using TWRP). My entire purpose behind unrooting and going back to stock was to update to JB as I participated in Moto's soak test. I am still stumped...?

Guess I'll try re-flashing the bootloader? or a version from a different/newer image?

hmm ok, that's good you made some progress, not sure what's up there. which file did you restore with RSD? i tried restoring the asa14 one last night and got an error immediately, but i'm not sure if i edited the xml properly.
so what i ended up doing was restoring this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33942232&postcount=12. it will restore everything to the original factory firmware that came with the phone.... except for the system. but i had already restored the stock system with a TWRP backup posted by rangerbry, so it was ok. then i had to run the 2 OTA updates on the phone to get up to the most recent official release. it's a bit convoluted, but it's an option, hehe.

I think the problem is with the cdrom...my phone keeps booting into AP fastboot automatically like I said...and I was never able to get RSD Lite to recognize my device, so I only used fastboot and TWRP. RSD Lite is sadly not an option for me at this point...
Oh, the image that I previously restored with RSD was odexed and purely stock, ASA 14-15 Sprint. Now it wont read in RSD...

Stock recovery still not functioning, but phone doesn't auto load fastboot anymore. Still can only load system from bootloader. But also TWRP doesn't disappear after reboot. I flashed cdrom, but is what is the extension? Is it a .img, or is it supposed to be? In details it just said "file".

Restore to stock

I have a rooted droid mini with pwnmymoto. How can I factory reset it? Using the option under privacy, it just reboots the phone. Doesn't matter whether I keep root or not, just need to get it wiped.

I would also like to know how to fix this for the future. I currently dont need to but my recovery is messed up and i only installed it shortly than removed it as I decided I dont think i need root this time around as the stock rom runs great.

I too have been looking for steps to wipe and return to stock. I think I disabled too many pre-installed apps and now sometimes Chrome won't open properly when clicking on links. I see the factory reset option under settings, but was too nervous to try that because I couldn't find anything on the net about if the internal storage is wiped. Not trying to lose all pics and such. For the Maxx to be a couple of months old I expected more when searching Google.

Factory reset doesn't actually seem to work....

My understanding is that pwnmymoto hijacks the stock recovery, which is used when you do a factory reset. If you can figure out how to obtain and flash the stock recovery in fastboot then the factory reset would probably work. Though, if you're going that far, you should probably just restore to stock entirely.
This guide should help, and this thread can point you to a place to find the stock firmware.

What about for the Mini?

you can easily return to stock, use RSD Lite computer program, just search it...or i can try upload it. After you get that app, make sure you have 7zip or something similar...after that, go to this site here > http://sbf.droid-developers.org/
there is a guide here but i may not be able to actually post...i am going to so i can help people who don't know how to return to stock...so, here it is

I was able to get my maxx back to stock with this: droidrzr .com/index.php/topic/28162-house-of-moto
I did a wipe with the twrp safestrap and hit something I shouldn't have. All I could do was get to recovery. Now she's good as new!

wait, so you have safestrap for your maxx?? is it compatible with the Mini and Ultra as well? they are all the same except batter so i am assuming it should be fine...

Yeah it should. Check under Droid Ultra General then look for Safestrap! Link is in the second post. I'm still new otherwise I'd post it here.

When you did the factory restore was all your internal storage wiped? No pics, vids, music?

Hi everyone, I need to restore to stock my Droid MAXX. Is it possible also with root? it doesn't go on fastboot mode pressing power+vol- , it goes on recovery mode. By the way, does the guide linked by ahjee works on droid MAXX? (sorry but I can't post links , it is the unbrick, unroot and restore link)
Wich firmware should I flash for MAXX? I have to edit the xml file?
This is my first motorola phone and I don't know how to do with this phone, until now I only flashed Sony firmwares with flashtool.
Thank you very much

Just used this guide from the Moto-X forums last night. Worked perfectly.

This is the link to the fastboot file for the MAXX as well.

And yes, you must edit the xml just like the instructions state.

Thanks a lot! And what about root? I have to remove it before flashing new firmware?

[Q] BMM and ME865

I get the wrong busybox error. I have read several posts about the MB865 and reflashing the stock ATT ICS, but what should I do to fix the error on the ME865? Thanks.

The solution is the same but with a different FXZ.

Thanks. I assume I should use Asian, since mine is Asian model?

Never mind. I just matched with my phone. Thanks again.
Blur_Version.67.220.3.ME865.Retail.en.05

Ok, so I downloaded my firmware (67.220.3.ME865.Retail.en.05) from here, http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=17, and it is in tar.gz format. I can extract the files, run RSD Lite choosing "default_flash.xml", in RSD Lite it shows the whole process as being completed, but zero changes are made. I have yet to fin anything in zip format, if it matters. As a noob I assume i am still doing something wrong. So, for now I just flashed the ATT 67.21.125.MB865.ATT.en.us to it to get CM11 on. It worked fine with no issues. Currently setup as multiboot.
