go to the noob thread and follow the instructions for replacing files in the fxz, just use the same replace files but the indian fxz that you can download.

No problem. Just go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650 and read the section on how to flash the FXZ. make sure to look at the bottom part where it tells you to replace some files. you will need to do that. Instead of using the ATT FXZ file like they say use the one that matches your current version (SEARET I think you said) and follow the same directions, but use that file instead.

can i should replace some file in above zip? because my phone is 2.3.6
Code:
How to flash the FXZ once applying the OTA update and get back to 2.3.5, ONCE YOU UPDATE TO THE OTS 2.3.6 YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FLASH THE 2.3.5 FXZ WITHOUT FOLLOWING THESE STEPS BELOW!!
NOTE: Download this file HERE -
Unzip it and move all the the items in it to the stock fxz. You might get a warning about replacing files, just click OK. NOTE that Windows might not be able to handle the size of the fxz. I have 6 GB RAM but Windows still wasn't able to perform a drag-and-drop through the fxz's zip. I recommend that you just unzip the fxz and then put the files in. (You don't have to rezip it either, RSD Lite will still recognize it and will flash faster).
You should be able to use RSD Lite to flash the file.

Yeah, I was being stupid. Was the phone originally ATT when you bought it, or was it indian. that makes a big difference. you need to know what it said under settings > about phone.
anyways this should fix it, just use which ever fxz is right (from my post in the noob thread:
just thought of an easier way to get you restored. Most of the time you only really need to do system. download the moto-fastboot utility (it's similar to normal fastboot but you MUST use it instead or it will not work) and the fxz for your region. Extract the fxz and put the system.img from it and moto-fastboot in the same folder. open a command prompt in that folder (hold shift and right click) and type
Code:
moto-fastboot.exe flash system system.img
moto-fastboot.exe erase userdata
obviously you need to have your phone in fastboot mode to do that. it does the exact same thing as rsd, just only the 2 important steps, flashing system and wiping data.)
Let me know how that works for you. It may not since you have had flash failures, but we'll see.
moto-fastboot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=635584&d=1308928440 you should actually extract it and put all the things in it in the folder with system.img
Good luck!

Flashed my atrix 2 and fastboot fail
I bought my atrix 2 from US and unlocked it and am using this in india now. I tried to flashboot the phone with "5.5.1-EDEM-28-37-SEARET_cfc.xml". I added the new files thats available in the noob called replace.zip. I also tried the moto fast boot. Now am not able to flashboot and when i run flashboot i get this error "failed flashing process. 11/21 flash ebr "ebr"-> Phone returned fail; Phone connected" .
Please help me.

I just got my ATT Atrix 2 and I think I've already bricked it, soft at least. I used a script to go from 2.3.6 back to 2.3.5 stock, then OTA to 2.3.6, then I flashed the ICS leak and flashed SCV7, it was running horribly, kept crashing and was being extremely unstable so then I tried to use the FXZ script to go from ICS back to GB, and all my phone was doing was showing the Motorola dual core screen and boot looping or just staying on that screen I couldn't tell. I can get into fastboot, when I try to get into recovery there is an icon of a box with an arrow coming out of it and a little android and a yellow progress bar and when that finishes it goes to fastboot and it says "AP FastBoot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure) what can I do?
---------- Post added at 07:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------
The battery is low going by my luck I'm going to assume the phone will not charge while in fast boot. I've been at this for way too many hours, if someone could tell me how to get this phone working I'd appreciate it.

- do not flash Sprint firmware to phone from Cellular US and vice versa unless you know what are you doing!!!

You can try using fastboot and flash manually.

Thanks, idk how to flash system (or would I just flash this whole file?) in fastboot. Looking into that now, because "advanced tech support" at sprint doesn't know how to restore my data, lol.

EDIT: Works
I guess I just needed a newer RSD lite version 6.0 here: https://hotfile.com/dl/174582400/60ad26d/RSDLite_6.0.rar.html
I still had to remove the getvar commands from the .xml but phone took the flash finally! It's activating now. Thanks again Skrillax for this, hoping this firmware is more stable than the first update.:good:

Anyone mind giving the cliff notes on *how* to fastboot the files manually? Will it work on stock recovery?

Added Sprint US 7.7.1Q-6_SPR-125_ASA-14.

Re: [01-23-2013]Photon Q FXZ
Does this restore stock recovery as well? If so it's definitely easier than restoring a stock nandroid and recovery.img and taking the ota update. My understanding is the latest fxz is stock asa14?
Sent from my XT897 using xda app-developers app

Yes, it is fully stock and independant on the current device state, so you can flash it, then flash recovery and then nandroid. You just might need to remove the "get var" fastboot commands from the xml in order to get it flashed.

Re: [01-23-2013]Photon Q FXZ
So this is similar to an SBF file where it restores your phone to stock if you want to start over new? Would it be wise to wipe everything before using it? (After a backup of course)

just a heads up to others i Flashed this one instead of doing the OTA and then i tried to flash one of the older versions and RSD Lite lite failed. on the phone fastboot screen said error firmware was not downgradeable

this helped me to unbrick mine after ota update.
thanks, fixed it with RSD lite latest version, and flasing worked good

I broke my device. Thanks for this so I can fix it maybe.

so this means there is some kind of bootloader lock on downgrading from the latest firmware? maybe they did that so people can't go back and use Motofail2go or something? is your bootloader unlocked by the official method?

Does it matter which firmware you flash or does it have to be the one that was on the phone before? Got a failure message in RSD lite and im not sure if it was cuz of low device battery or wrong version. My phone was bought new and bricked on the December firmware, whichever that was.

If you have low battery, discharge it completely, then plug to charger and leave it be, so it doesn't try to boot when plugged in to the charger.
If you get failure message in RSD lite, read it
But you can just flash latest FW.

Sorry Im really hung over today didnt mean to geek out. Didnt realize I already posted here! Is flashing with RSD lite really as easy as it seems to unbrick a phone?

I honestly don't recall whether Photon Q charges in fastboot when connected via USB. However, if you leave it in fastboot until it discharges completely, and then plug it to a wall charger (!and leave it there be), it will start charging in "emergency mode" i.e without booting.

Does NOT charge in FastBoot mode. Might overheat if left in recovery after restore.

I just wanted to follow up and say this was a shockingly easy method of restoring a bricked device. Just 3 easy steps.

[Q] Starts to Fastboot - Flashing Fails

Before I tell you my problem I'm going to outline the process I went through to get too it.
1) I upgraded my 2.3.6 Atrix 2 to ICS 4.0.4 on the Telecom NZ OTA update.
2) I attempted to flash my device to the Asian Atrix 2 Jelly Bean leak
3) Flash failed in process 1/14
My phone now boots to fast boot, however I can still start my phone by entering the recovery menu and selecting boot up normally (or whatever it is, I forgot the exact words)
Telecom NZ users seem to all have this problem when trying to to do this. How can I fix it so it doesn't start to fastboot?
Also what happens if my battery dies in fast boot mode?
Thanks William

Those are not fxz,s they just install like a rom.

[Q] Is my device ATT?

I know my device is not ATT (since it does not have ATT logo on it), but I am unable to flash Chinese JB leaks on it. When I try to flash it using RSD, it fails at first step. I wonder why I am unable to flash JB leaks. I am on Asia Retail Stock ICS 4.0.4 now. When I bought it from my friend, it has ICS (i dont know wch one). I soft bricked it and flashed Asia retail ICS via "restore to ICS.bat" method. After that, I was eager to flash JB leaks but never succeeded.

I think I tried flashing Asia retail FXZ after that and it didn't go past 7th step (something.cdt). Even JB leaks are not getting flashed is the proof tht worst has happened.
I will try again today and tell the result. I dont have any idea abt the region of my phone and what firmware it supports. Any help to identify this would be appreciated.

I think I tried flashing Asia retail FXZ after that and it didn't go past 7th step (something.cdt). Even JB leaks are not getting flashed is the proof tht worst has happened.

So basically this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2165891 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2231581 is what happened with me. I am stuck with a mismatched cdt.bin and no place to find a solution. I request @alteredlikeness or @jimbridgman or someone who knows what can be done in this case to give a solution to my problem. Thanks.

I know my device is not ATT (since it does not have ATT logo on it), but I am unable to flash Chinese JB leaks on it. When I try to flash it using RSD, it fails at first step. I wonder why I am unable to flash JB leaks. I am on Asia Retail Stock ICS 4.0.4 now. When I bought it from my friend, it has ICS (i dont know wch one). I soft bricked it and flashed Asia retail ICS via "restore to ICS.bat" method. After that, I was eager to flash JB leaks but never succeeded.

I don't know if I was on TNZ ROM when I bought it, my friend tried to install 4.3 Carbon ROM on my atrix 2 using bootstrap method. It got soft bricked. After few hiccups, we got it back running using "restore to ICS.bat" method using SEARET FXZ. I was relieved that this bat file saved us. But now when I try to flash anything using RSD, it just wont.
So answer to ur question is - we used SEARET (Retail Asia) FXZ. I still use this same FXZ. I thought of using other FXZs, but sbf droid website which hosts all the FXZs is down now. I wish somebody create a mirror for all the ROMS.
P.S: Please reply soon. Feels like Atrix 2 section of this forum is dead when we get late replies.

Ya seems lyk the SBF site is down don worry i think it's under maintenance just wait for a day...it should be up by then
And Carbon 4.3 clearly stated that its only for BMM not bootstrap so thats the reason u boot looped....read the thread carefully before flashing....

What next?

I guess after using restore_to_ICS.bat file, your cdt.bin number has increased and hence, you can't use any other firmware other than ICS. BTW which region's ICS are you running now?

If you've used the restore_to_ICS.bat with the AT&T FXZ in it then you won't be able to flash anything else but the AT&T firmware. This is because the AT&T firmware is the most locked down of them all. In other words, no jb leaks for you. :/
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

I am using SEARET ICS rite now. RSD lite fails at cdt.bin step all time. Why cannot I flash JB leaks when my device is not ATT?

Like I said before, your phone's cdt number has changed / increased, and hence the reason, you can't flash JB Leak which has a lower cdt number.

If you can ADB into the phone then you can just delete the CDT partition, and then RSD lite will let you flash whatever you want.
You do this, with the following:
1) Download moto-fastboot command:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953948
2) Save the exe someplace you can remember
3) Open a command prompt and CD to where you saved the moto-fastboot file
4) run the following command(s):
Code:
moto-fastboot erase cdt *NOTE this may not work and you may need to run the next command instead
moto-fastboot erase cdt.bin
5) Try and run RSDlite again and flash something and see if it lets you get past the flashing CDT.bin step

[Q] Orange France Version of XT925 and no LTE/4G

I bought a Motorola XT925 on ebay branded Orange France and loaded with Jelly Bean 4.1.1 firmware.
The phone was sold to me as a 4G/LTE capable device. Not seeing an option for 4G/LTE in the phones menu, I then dug around the Orange France web portal. There it says the phone is not 4G/LTE compatible. This was confirmed by Motorola France.
So my big question: is the radio hardware in this Orange France phone the same as an XT925 that I would by from Rogers Canada, but just not initialized for 4G/LTE? Or is the actual Radio hardware different? Even Motorola France was not able to tell me over the phone about the exact hardware.
Do I have a hope to get 4G/LTE working on this phone?
I want to try a Rogers firmware on this phone, but don't want a 200,00$ paperweight.
Thanks for reading.

is the bootloader unlocked? check by booting into apfast mode. Moto website can unlock your BL if needed, after that you can test any firmware and flah any radio of course with caution .There is hope.

I have a custom recovery utility installed after rooting and unlocking the bootloader and just completed a backup on the phone. I figure since the phone is wearing jelly bean 4.1.1 I ought to be able to take the Rogers firmware jellybean 4.1.2 and flash that onto the phone. Just not sure how to make sure that the modem gets flashed when I do fastboot flash system system.img. So I am looking around to piece together the instructions on how to flash the modem or does the system image contain all I need for the modem and all else?
I kinda like the lock screen on the Orange.fr firmware -- has a sliding mute feature that might not stick around after a system flash. minor detail though as all I really want is a working LTE device.
Thanks

RSD Lite is a windows utility and at the present time I do not have a windows computer. I have unlocked the bootloader and flashed the recovery successfully with mfastboot for linux. So that;s where I am at. ( I find it ironic that a phone OS based oin linux should be largely dependent on a non-linux OS. Strange but true.
@hbenz2008 tell me about flashing the modem so that I can have LTE/4G access. What do I need to do?

excellent man, did you update to kitkat yet? you are free to try firmware from any carrier now. Look here for some Jelly Bean downloads to try:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=6
Then there are many ways to get on kitkat if you wish.

I have downloaded the 4.1.2 Rogers firmware but to be honest I don't know exactly what or how to do with the zip file. I've opened the archive -- I even flashed the modem and all the rest of the blobs onto the phone, one by one based on a batch file from another archive. What happened was I lost my patience waiting for the phone to reboot as it appeared to be stuck on the Motorola boot logo. (Maybe it was rebuilding the cache??) I used the recovery to get the phone back. So if you can give me a clue as to what to do exactly with the firmware zip -- much appreciate your council.

i dont have a mac but i will try to get you some instructions. Under windows, we just rsd the xml file after extracting the firmware. This may help

I dug up an old netbook with xp on it and managed to use RDSlite it to flash the Rogers firmware and voila! Full service phone. except for one tiny snag. Earlier I had installed a custom recovery utility cwm6.2.2.8-XT925(epinter) and it worked. Now though the cwm recovery util got wiped and my subsequent attempts to re-install fail. I speak: "linux-fastboot flash recovery cwm.img. response: Max 30M sending recovery.
Weird it never progresses or finishes. Beginning to think I have the syntax wrong.

Try mfasboot

Thats what I have as a linux version (mfastboot). Got it from a link posted by @ATTACK and it worked properly before I flashed 4.1.2 today. I'll work on it at least now I have a phone that works and shows the options I was sold. Just wondering if RSDLite does something crippling when it writes the flash to the phone.

Rsd is clean. You can always try other recoveries. Cmw6.0.4.4 if I remember correctly works

So something does seem to have changed. I no longer have permission to erase with the mfastboot utility. And I am refering to permission on the device not in my local shell. I sudo to the shell locally then run fastboot which returns the following:
gryphon platform-tools # fastboot erase recovery
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
erasing 'recovery'...
(bootloader) Permission denied
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.034s
gryphon platform-tools
the device status code is 3 and unlocked so I am baffled.

i have fought that error before but dont recall what solved it. Either another recovery or flashing with fastboot, or mfastboot.

If you think of another possible solution let me know. As of now no fastboot utility works on my phone now.

At one point I also downloaded android sdk from Google and used fastboot tools/platform to flash things up.

I have the android-sdk installed and the fastboot included is known to cause problems with image files that are large. Thats where mfastboot comes in handy.
Now everytime I powercycle the phone fastboot appears on the screen and shows a failed flash notice. I'd like to clear up this issue pronto. what a pain . An adventurous pain

Maybe flash a different recovery with it hopefully overwrite what's in the phone. If not, flashing 4.1.2 with rsd and a fresh recover maybe an easier way. Even European 4.1.2 rtfr modified to get kk update. There is a thread:make your xt 925 updatable. Check it out, you may kill two birds with 5 stones

while you at it man, can you please grab "gps.conf " from system/etc and post here .It is about 2kb size. Merci

Good news! I got the fastboot flash failure flag cleared away and cwm recovery reinstalled. Still can't flash anything with fastboot of any stripe and I am betting this is because the image files in the sbf archive are signed. My phone is now vritualy identical to any Fido branded phone, complete with a Fido boot logo. Cute.
There ought to be a way to overwrite signed images, besides waiting for a new firmware release. The bootloader is unlocked and phone rooted yet fastboot flashing is not currently possible.
How can I unlock the signed images on my phone?
BTW heres my gps.conf. Whats your interest in this file?
