[Q] Upgrade to Jellybean

I'm rooted with the stock ROM, and my bootloader is unlocked using the Motorola website.
What's the easiest and effective way to upgrade to the newest (Jellybean) OTA update?

Also, I forgot I had rooted because I installed the OTA and tried to apply it but of course it failed.
Now when I start my phone up...it will load then a couple seconds later, it shuts down and boots into CWM.
What can I do?

Easiest way at this point is probably to use RSD Lite and wipe the phone with one of the FXZ's.
Then wait for the OTA and flash it.
You can't flash OTA's on aftermarket recoveries. You have to be on stock recovery to take the OTA......

Is there any chance you could explain the RSD steps? I'm having the same problem, unlocked through Moto's site and now entering bootloop when I try to do OTA upgrade.

Do you have RSD Lite? What step are you getting stuck on?
It's pretty straightforward IMHO. The only "wrinkle" is having to edit the .XML files - which is noted int he first post.

My apologies, shoulda been clearer. I am installing RSD onto my computer right now. Which asanti_c_cspire would you recommend?

Well I wouldn't recommend any cspire FXZ unless you're on cspire...
You're on Sprint right? I'd grab the latest Sprint FXZ, which is currently:
asanti_c-user-4.0.4-7.7.1Q-6_SPR-125_ASA-14-15-release-keys-Sprint-US.xml.zip
Hopefully the Sprint FXZ for JB will land, and people can just flash straight to it

Thanks a bunch. I'm gonna go ahead and download that. It would make my life so much easier if the Sprint one was availble, but it's not so now gotta go back to stock.
When using RSD lite i just connect my phone as USB Mass storage, edit the XML file, and then load it into RSD and hit start?

Yea, RSD should reboot your phone into fastboot mode and start flashing.
If it doesn't, you might have to enable adb... I can't remember as I always have adb setup/enabled

don't start adb from a command prompt. RDS will take care of that. USB debugging must be enabled on your phone in developer options.

I have USB debugging enabled...but my phone wont show up in RDS. The only option I have is to decompress, no flash option, no phone showing up. ADB is not recognizing phone either..

Flash ASA-14 from the FXZ's, then force check for a system update.
Looks like the FXZ for Sprint's 4.1.2 is released. Just use RSD lite and flash straight to it.
Thanks Skrilax_CZ.

I think once you get ADB to recognize the phone, RSD will as well.

Got it. Trying OTA Update now. Thanks!

Great link skillrax.
RSD l ite is really easy. You need to have fastboot installed on the PC/phone and you need to enable debugging. Then its as easy as 3 steps. Find the file, choose flash. Forget the 3rd step.... Its really easy.

Yea, I don't know what the heck I was thinking earlier... RSD uses fastboot, so you will need adb/fastboot working in order to utilize RSD.
Other than editing that XML file and getting fastboot working, RSD is quite simple to use

Hey y'all. I was going to go back to one of my early backups on the stock ICS and then take the OTA JB update but my backup from January keeps loading my most recent twisted asanti backup instead. Needless to say, my JB update keeps failing saying signature verification failed. Any quick fix or should I just push it via RSD at work tomorrow?
TIA

Thank you for alerting me to the new FXZ. It wasn't there when i checked yesterday. This new one did the job for me. I have backed it up using TWRP and I am uploading to my server for download, but I can't post external links yet.

Okay:
- I have /sdk-tools/ in my c:/ drive.
- I downloaded the Jellybean file
- I downloaded RSDlite and edited the xml file
My device doesnt show in RSD or anything.
Now what?

Sounds like you don't have the drivers. Go to motorola.com and make sure you have the latest / correct drivers. RSD is a moto program so with Moto drivers and RSD lite you should have no problem. You also need to have fastboot on both your phone and the computer.
Then you may need an xml editor to remove those files (I have to every time) and after that its really easy.
Open RSD Lite
Connect Phone
Select File
Decompress and Flash

[RESOLVED] Bootloader Unlocked, rooted, OTA update failing?

Hey all,
Ok, so I rooted my Razr HD, unlocked the boot loader, and now would like to take the latest OTA update. It is failing right now. I tried a factory reset before doing it, and saved root with voodoo and all that. I am assuming though, that it is failing because the recovery is not stock? It's TWRP.
What do I need to do to get the damned OTA update installed, and then have the custom recovery with root intact?
Thanks!
-------------------------
Resolved:
Used clockwork mod instead, downloaded stock image, flashed using RSD Lite 6.1.4.

You can go the hard route and re-load the stock recovery, re-load all of the stock apps, and take the OTA. You can also fastboot to the latest OTA and just re-root. It's easy to re-root with an unlocked BL, you just need to flash SU in recovery. The easiest option is to find a stock ROM on here and just flash it. I believe there are a couple in dev section. Also, there is one on Batakang that's based off of the latest DST ROM.

as long as you didnt delete or freeze any stock apps put stock recovery back on using this tool. http://www.mediafire.com/download/tt7cwwua49n24uv/Razr_HD_Recovery_Flasher_V7.rar then take the update. make a note of your baseband before you start because the update is going to fail at the end even if it installs. the bb will let you know if you got all you could or if there are issues. afterwards, restore root and use the tool to put cwm or twrp back on.

Hi guys,
So i had my phone rooted with an unlocked bootloader running CM for quite some time. I decided yesterday to go back to stock (factory reset via matts utility). Its been hitting me with an OTA update since then, and i kept hitting install later...install later....
and today i accidentally hit install now. So it tried to do it via CWM recovery, and obviously failed. and when it fails, no matter what i do, it reboots back to the system (which is good), but then immediately tries to run the update again.
Is there any way for me to get this to stop happening? I turned off my phone in case i have to do something via fastboot (save the battery). but can i maybe flash the stock recovery through the utility? would that do it?
Thanks for any help!

This is for the 907 but same steps as for the 926, just get the 404 xml for the 926 & mod the xml as I did for/in the xml file.
There are several steps to delete.

Just compare the stock & mod9 xmls, no secrets.

Just be warned that downgrading to 4.0.4 will NOT allow you to unlock the bootloader.

Droid Razr Maxx HD xt926 recovery issue

So i have a Droid Razr Maxx HD xt926
it is on the latest 4.2.1 ota
It was starting to run slow, so i figured it was time to root and get a custom rom. but what i didn't realize is you cant unlock boot-loader.
So i rooted the phone, no issues. i tried to flash TWRP and CWM and both failed.
So when i go to recovery all i get is a black screen with white writiing that says
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (s)
10.9B(#) (sha-1e9f, 2013-05-25 01:04:26)
eMMC info: Size 32GB
Divice is LOCKED, Status Code: 0
Battery OK
Connect USB
Data Cable
Failed to hab check for recovery: 0x56
Fastboot Reason: Boot Failure
I can exit out and get back to android.
Since i can get the bootloader unlocked (at least i dont think there is a way) i want to flash everything back to factory, it can be unrooted as well. just want a clean start on it.
any help would be great thanks.

sounds like you jacked stock recovery. if it will boot up, try using this http://www.mediafire.com/download/tt7cwwua49n24uv/Razr_HD_Recovery_Flasher_V7.rar to put the stock recovery back on. i cant say for sure it will work but i think it will.

If the bootloader is locked, it's highly unlikely that attempting to flash a recovery would've touched the stock recovery. With that being said, you can use one of the utilities to flash back to completely stock or use RSD and flash the most up-to-date XML from here:

true but you have to modify files before rsd will work, and the utilities say dont use on the latest update (locked) unless there is one i haven't seen, correct?

I've never had to modify the XMLs to work in RSD, but you might have to for some of them. You can swap files in the utilities and put the newest update in there. Also, flashing your zip or any other zip should clear the flash fail.

boot the phone up (just power on), after on plug it into your pc, use the tool i posted in #5 (just going off what RikRong said, any successful flash should clear the failure) flash "stock recovery", let it reboot and see if its fixed.
if its not fixed, im still under the impression you will have to do one of 2 things to fix it from what i read others post previously,
-replace the files in matts utility with the latest ones from the stock files, or
-modify the xml file in the latest sbf to get rsd to work without failing

My Droid Razr HD is doing the same thing
My screen says all of that also.
its says its locked and the battery is ok and all of that
I was trying to root my phone which was unsuccessful.
Now I cannot start and run my phone properly.
when it comes on it has me choose a language and press start and then acts like its loading and says it may take a few minutes. It will do that for hours and never move on to the next step.
How did you fix yours and recover it?
None of the other options on the reboot screen work...
I had tried:
normal start up
AP fast Boot
Recovery
BP Tools
They all lead to the same thing with the language selection and so on.
What can I do?

assuming you have a 926, re-flash it with this.
if you have a 925 do NOT use ^^ that. you will have to use rsd instead.

I am having a similar issue but my bootloader is unlocked and no matter what I flash to recovery recovery won't work anymore whether it being a factory reset or trying to just plain boot in to it.

on the bootloader screen it says "status code 3" correct?
you cant flash cwm or twrp with fastboot?
what exactly is it doing or not doing and does the flash dialog indicate it flashing ok?
you imply, you cant boot into recovery, then say a factory reset wont work. what happens exactly in either of those attempts?
after you flash a custom recovery, you have to power off the phone and boot right into it and flash the su zip (do not boot the system in between), you know that correct?
any other info you can provide that i may have left out could be helpfull in getting this working for you.

Hello everyone,
I know this tread is old but, I have a problem and I hope someone here can help me. I have a mot razr 926 with these specs:

Build number 9.8.1Q-94-1
My phone was rooted before with stock rom; I had to do a factory reset; so I reset, rooted again and my mistake it was trying to unlock the bootloader ( I know, I know, it's 9.30....)
Now my problem is that I don't have "recovery" or I don't have access to it. Things that I have tried:
Moto utility 1.34
Moto utility 1.3 gpt fix
Razr HD Recovery flasher V7 (tried to install cwm and stock)
I'm just trying to get any recovery working.... any help would be appreciated

Have you tried the stock recovery??, it can be tricky to get into stock recovery by pressing the correct combination of buttons
EDIT: You can use RSD Lite to update your phone to 182.46.10 and use Towelroot to re-root the phone. Once rooted, you can use Motoapocalypse to unlock bootloader.

XT925 restocking problem

I'm trying to restock my xt925. After an attempt to flash one of the roms here it did not installed but since I wiped everything I try a restore frm the nandroid backup made with Philz recovery. After the restore the phone had no signal at all.
I'm trying to flash using RSD but it gives an error: Failed flashing Process.
Also I find the boot firmware for XT926 but no for XT925. My phone is actually booting but without any signal.

Thanks for the link but I found the firmware right here at XDA.
I also managed to get and flash the modem form the firmware posted here but could not manage to flash the whole image using RSD Lite.
Right now my biggest problem is that the phone reboots on fastboot and I have to manually make it go to system every time I turn it on.

Haha my friend! I had a more-less same situation last month!!!
Here's what you do:
1. Download RSD Lite 6.1.5 - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...ite_v6.1.x.zip
2. Make sure you have installed latest Motorola Device Manager and drivers on your PC - https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481/action/auth
3. Download XT925 stock firmwares (Retail.DE for example...) - http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=6
4. Put the phone in AP Fastboot, connect it to PC and start RSD Lite
5. When you extract it and load the rom in RSDLite if you get FLASHING FAILED ˝getvar´ you'll need to edit rom file and delete line with ˝getvar˝ strings
Try this and let me know how it went ...
Cheers

Hi! Thnks for your reply. I did manage to flash it manually one by one using fastboot but I did not ever could use RSD. I did try editing the command script erasing the gatvar and oem lines but never worked for me. I would love for it to work because I understand it is better and less work using RSD.

Ok! Just tried this again. You need to edit .xml file by deleting both of these threads:
<step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" />
<step operation="oem" var="fb_mode_set" />
If it doesn't work try also deleting :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<flashing>
Please try if you have time...
All the best

quick questions....my device is also 925, stock, rooted and unlocked bootloader.
now if i would do a factory reset via the phone or flash my stock firmware via sbf or when we eventually get the official kitkat upgrade:
i assume i would loose root with each of these actions?
but would the unlocked bootloader by affected in any way...ie would i ever have to re unlock? this is indeed permanent from my understanding?
thx and sorry if these r stupid questions...

- If you factory reset from phone you'll not lose root but if you flash sbf via rsd lite or similar you will lose it and have to root it again.
- Before receiving OTA KitKat you'll have to install OTA Root keeper to preserve root function.
- Bootloader will remain unlocked forever no matter what you do.

ok thx for your response...so i would have to unroot, ota then re-root as the xt926 users needed to do for their ota i guess?

No! Don't need to ¨unroot¨!! Just download VooDoo OTA rootkeeper from play store. Then with this app temporary unroot, install OTA update and after that restore root using same app...
Cheers

lol...yeah i had already downloaded and used it, i meant temp unroot with app

No more rom download...
Hello,
the download page for the XT925 firmwares is not working anymore...
My RAR HD is now bricked and I need the stock firmware for it, did anyone downloaded it and could upload it back for me somewhere ?
I need the version 180.46.127.xt925.CCC-Retail.en.eu
Hope someone has it...

Stock ROM for RAZR HD XT926?

Anyone know where I can get the latest stock ROM for a RAZR HD XT926 from a trusted source? I'm a bit nervous about downloading just any old file that claims to be a stock ROM. Who knows what could be embedded in it.
The latest OTA update from Verizon contains a bug fix that I desperately need, but my phone refuses to apply the update. I've given up working with Verizon and Motorola on this. Motorola level 2 support says they won't help because the phone is rooted, even though it wasn't at the time I spoke to them on the phone.
I've decided to go the route of flashing the ROM myself. I'm now rooted, bootloader is unlocked, safestrap is installed, and I've backed up the my working system with it. I've also installed rootkeeper so I can temporarily unroot before flashing.
Also after doing this will I need to reinstall and reconfigure all my apps? If so is there an easy way to back that all up so all I need to do is restore the backup?

Here you go!

Go to sbf dot droid-developers dot org That's where you'll find them!

Thanks. Are you pretty confident that they are clean?

Clean

Yes. I'm very confident they are. I've always used these to restore mine to stock when needed.

Awesome! Thanks. Now I just need to figure out how to flash the one I want. This is my first time. I'm guessing I just put the zip file on my sdcard and tell SafeStrap to recover using it.
Will I need to reinstall all my apps? Is there a way to prevent that? Mostly I'm concerned about apps that I've spent a lot of time setting up custom configurations for.

That post will walk you through how to flash back to stock.

So I can't use safestrap to flash the stock ROMs downloaded from sbf dor droid-developers dot org?

Safestrap

No you cannot.

I've got RSD Lite installed now and it successfully detects the device is fastboot mode. Next step is to unzip the XML file I downloaded and plug it into RSD Lite. Right?
How much risk do you think there is that I end up bricking the phone? Keep in mind that OTA updates always fail because the hash on the build.prop file doesnt match what its expecting even though I've never changed the build.prop file.
Will I be able to use SafeStrap recovery if the phone gets bricked?
Like I said this is the first time I've tried this and I'm trying to cover all the bases before I do anything dangerous.

You don't unzip the .xml, you just flash it in RSD. When you use RSD, you will no longer have SafeStrap installed. SafeStrap is only an app, not a true recovery replacement, it works in conjunction with the stock recovery. You can't use a true recovery replacement since your bootloader is locked.
If you're not comfortable with RSD, try the House of Moto here:

RSD Lite failed to flash the phone. Error message was "failed flashing process - unknown fastboot command, (getvar).I do have the latest Android SDK installed (32 bit version) and it's in the my PATH. I can run fastboot from the command line and it does show a getvar command.
Prior to running RSD Lite I did temporarily unroot the phone with rootkeeper. Could that be the problem?

Ok I got to flash by ...
manually extracting the zip file
editing the xml file, and removing 2 lines that contained the text "getvar"
pointed RSDlite to the XML file instead of the zip file
From what I can see everything looks good on the phone. Now I just have to let it finish reinstalling all the apps.
I just wanted to post the steps here in case anyone else stumbles onto this thread and has the same problem.

I did lose root. Any way to get it back?
