Alright, so here's the issue. I tried to flash a version of CW onto my HDMaxx (XT926) and it failed, saying the file size was incorrect. Now, whenever I boot, it goes to the same recovery screen and says that the flash failed, even when I don't boot into recovery. After many failed attempts, I still cannot reflash the recovery. It still boots if I manually go into the bootloader and just select normal bootup, but as you can imagine, it gets pretty old having to do that. I just installed OTA JB yesterday, and it worked fine (after manually installing the zip myself) but the same problem still occurs on boot. Any help? Thanks in advance.

Reflash stock firmware. Check the stock firmware thread for your device in development subforum.
Its usually a good idea to flash to stock before upgrading os anyway.

you said HDMaxx? do you have a retail verizon razr hd? because clockwork is only for developer devices unlocked. and im pretty sure they dont have a developer Maxx HD
You need to successfully flash any of your partitions with a signed image in fast boot. Pick a small and relatively minor one like device tree.
The bootup error you are seeing means that an unsigned image was attempted to be flashed on a locked boot loader device and should go away once any properly signed image is flashed again afterwards. You could just flash the stock recovery image from the full XML fast boot file too.
The device should boot normally again thereafter.

No, It is an HDMaxx. It has the version XT926, but it is stock Verizon. Does anyone have any knowledge of a thread with an instructional for unlocking my bootloader and a clockwork/Amon Ra/etc. flash? I'm just struggling to find anything. Almost seems like very few people are working with my device as of this moment.

Verizon branded XT926 are bootloader locked, period. Verizon insisted it be that way. Since the HD Maxx doesn't have a developer's edition (which you can unlock the bootloader on), you are limited to hacks/workarounds that use a signed kernel to load a custom one. Check the Developers forum for hack posts.

Google safe strap for this device. We don't have clockwork on the consumer version but we do have safestrap which uses TWRP recovery. I use that to flash stuff. It's actually better because you leave your stock rom on the safe side and flash on the other partition and don't have to worry about bricking anything.

I did read up on TWRP a while ago. It kinda looked like a pain to me. I don't know, but I just want to be able to boot straight into my ROM of choice immediately without having to go through a bootloader (for someone other than myself, not in the knowing of what they're doing ICE). I used to have an N1 running CM7 and it was just what I wanted. Are there any downfalls of using this method that you have seen?

Hey all,
I rooted my HOX (1.73, 4.0.3) with the kpenn ne-Click a few days after I got it for the Tether and to de-bloat. Since then I haven't read anything on the One X till I heard Jelly Bean coming along. Anyhoo my question is what the upside of getting the new OTA (4.0.4) would be and how I would go about it if I wanted to (I've never updated before and ATT has stopped asking me to update, also I get nothing when I try to check for an update).
I've been reading around and it seems like most people are on to 1.85 and are flashing 4.1/2.2. My primary uses of my phone are for the media applications/web browsing and I haven't noticed any real drop in performance but I have heard the new updates have sped up the HOX considerably which is something I'm always interested in.
Thanks!
DON'T flash any OTA you will lose your root and will lose your ability to re root because there is no boot loader unlock for the new base. If you want to update and flash a new ROM and want to stick to sense, look at clean rom or xi40. Both are updated on the new base and are heaps and bounds better than the original ATT software :thumbup:

i one-clicked unrooted my phone earlier and freaked out (and the new updates didn't work out on my phone anyway). i ended up getting kpenn's one click again and putting SU back into my phone. Do you have any links that can take me on a step by step process of unlocking my phone and flashing those roms on it? I just love being able to control my phone and pushing it to its absolute limits.
Sigh. I followed the tutorial but I made a few mistakes...
1) I unlocked my phone way earlier than I should have so I wiped everything before I could make a back-up..
2) Re-locked accordingly to see if I could keep updating. I did manage to get to 1.85 like the tutorial said but.....
3) Since I didn't have a custom recovery I wasn't sure how to proceed. I couldn't get the root to flash so I tried using the 1-click 1.85 root since my phone was running 1.85.
....This ended up updating to 2.2 so now I have an unlocked HOX 2.2/4.0.4. With all the bloat.
Dumb dumb dumb. Ugh.

it's UNLOCKED?
you're lucky then.
just push a recovery like twrp then push root. Then you can debloat.
Yep, it's still unlocked. That was around the 4-7th reset I did (I messed up a lot). Do you have a link that shows me how to do that? I'm actually not as bummed about going to 2.2 since it runs so much faster than 1.73 did.

make sure you have your unlock token and then go to http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/unlock-instructions/page-4/

after that look at this thread to install twrp http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1777773
then this one to re-root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1673935
I notice one of the links is for 1.85. Does that mean that I'll go from 2.2 back to 1.85? I just wanted to make sure since my impression from the forums is that there is no 2.2 root yet unless it was flashed.

no those pages just tell you how to manually install root and recovery.
your bootloader is still unlockable
unlock it
then install a recovery
then install root via that recovery
Ahh, thanks a bunch man.
Sorry if this is repetitive....
So I've checked my phone and currently it states that it is
"Re-locked"
I downloaded a recovery so it's currently on my phone. Furthermore I all ready had a copy of SU sitting in my phone's download folder.
Does this mean that I'm going to...
- Unlock bootloader (that is currently relocked) and have everything erased again.
- Reboot from recovery (of the evita 2.2.img I just downloaded with TWRP)
- Then flash the SU root I all ready have on my phone?

yeah unlock the boot loader. set up the phone again
then install the recovery then root.
to make your unlock stick, turn off fastboot in power options, then power down phone completely then restart it to the bootloader.
Hmm, so my phone is definitely unlocked now. I installed the recovery and I manually flashedthe new SuperSU in that link you posted for me. As far as I can tell nothing is happening.
Note: It says that it installs the recovery but there is no reboot that occurs. I've done this both with the android app and manually and nothing is happening.
I don't see SuperSU and rootchecker is confirming that my phone isn't rooted yet.
so you reboot to recovery, choose the superSU package to install then what happens?
I know this works I've done it quite a few times myself.
Presently I installed the latest img file with TWRP with the app. There is not reboot that occurs (unless I'm suppose to reboot on my own?). If that's the case then I've been a total idiot.
I've just been installing the openrecovery and then I press "Flash Roms" to flash the supersu. I get a little notification that says "Preparing to Flash" and then nada.
After you install twrp recovery you reboot. Then you boot to recovery and flash the super su zip manually
Wooh! I got it to work! Thank you so much!

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!

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.

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

Failed to hab check for recovery: 0x56

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.

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:

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 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.

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:

System version 9.30.1.XT926.Verizon
Kernel 3.0.31 ( I believe is stock)
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
Thanks

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:
android version 4.1.2;
System version 9.30.1.XT926.Verizon
Kernel 3.0.31 ( I believe is stock)
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
Thanks

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.
EDIT 2: Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-razr-hd/general/index-motorola-droid-razr-hd-2015-t3167557
Ok so I gained root access on my Droid razr maxx and tried to use the motopocalyse exploit tool to unlock the bootloader but misunderstood that it would work to unlock the bootloader on my build. The flash failed now I am having to use the button combo to boot the phone. Here are the details of the phone system version:9.18.94.XT926, razr maxx hd, Android:4.1.2 build :9.8.1Q94. Is it possible to unlock bootloader and can someone help me, I do have rsd lite installed, any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
you can NOT unlock.
any successful flash will fix the error. you could grab your current version from here and re-flash it.
Okay, will I need to mod the file any I read somewhere that I would need to edit it and take the lines containing getvar out,but other say its not needed. I am assuming a wipe would also be essential for the flash. .Also, can anyone recommend any safestrap compatible roms for this phone. I am doing this for a friend that would love something similar to my Alliance rom that I am currently running on my Note 2, I am more comfortable using odin and the download mode on my samsung. .

I would edit it so it doesn't flash those. odin is Samsung's version of fastboot, you'll be fine, just grab RSD and you'll be up and running in no time
Successful flash.

Okay, First I would like to thank you both, I have restored the phone back to working order, restored root and safestrap. Now I am in the process of finding a rom that would work, with the priority being stability and customization, any advice?The only thing I would recommend to people in the same predicament is to download the firmware into its own separate folder because it would not work in my main download folder, not sure why, something to do with the boot image.
Let me preface this by saying I'm an idiot, I know just enough to be dangerous. Rooted and I wanted to restore and relock the bootloader. Instead of flashing the factory image first, I skipped that step and relocked the bootloader thinking it would wipe everything anyway. Of course now I realize I'm an idiot and I should not have skipped that step. Now I am soft bricked in the bootloader, and nothing will flash properly. Pretty sure I damaged the bootloader.
So my plea for help is, is there any way to repair or restore the bootloader?
I'm pretty sure as long as you can get into fastboot you can run the flash all bat.
You will have to download and extract the full factory image tho...and it should be like starting from fresh.oem
Also if you just wanted to flash a new bootloader you would just have to make sure it was the one extracted from the factory image you were already on.

Well I've tried flash-all multiple times, it runs almost as normal except for one fail in the script (I'll show a pic of that after I go home and try again), and finishes as though it worked but when it reboots it can't get past bootloader. I'll try flashing the bootloader separately too.
Plus whenever I lock or unlock bootloader now it goes through the motion and then says "locked" or "unlocked" but it's faster than it should be and doesn't do that wiping animation at all.
Might be time to delete the old factory images and redownload new stuff

Check again, I think a new version (late October) is in the most recent package.
I ran into the "stuck in bootloader" issue earlier today after running flash-all, but got out of it using some script by someone named Deuce that flashes the images one by one. I'll try and find a link.
Edit: here it is. This worked for me. Read carefully - you have to unzip the factory image that you've downloaded, then unzip the zip file that's in THAT zip.

Trying this now but still not working for me. Everytime where it fails is writing the bootloader, and everything else works fine. The bootloader writing fails in this deuce script, the regular flash-all, and flashing the bootloader separately.
Attached pics, 2 during deuce script, one during flash-all, and one during separate bootloader flash.

Sorry to hear that. I also got a bunch of failures during the process, and I don't think it automatically rebooted at the end of the process, but it ended up working on the first try (I was shocked when it did, since I saw so many failure warnings). He says in the thread that if it doesn't work, try formatting user data when prompted...I didn't have to, but may be worth a try, since you expected everything to be wiped anyway. Good luck.

A locked boot loader means you can't flash anything, that's the point. You can still flash an OTA.zip if you can get into stock recovery (you can still side load it in stock recovery I believe). Otherwise, you'll need to unlock the boot loader, and if it won't, and you can't get into Android to allow unlocking, then I'm not sure what, if anything, you can do.

Exactly.
At this point I'd try sideloading the latest ota.zip. If that doesn't work, I'd consider calling support and telling them your phone won't boot, without mentioning how you got there.

yeah, good point. If I remember correctly, the Deuce script prompts you to unlock the bootloader at the beginning of the process - have you done that?

Yes, it's unlocked whenever trying to flash deuce or anything else. That's one of the strange things actually, it will respond to locking and unlocking, but it goes too quickly, skipping the process of wiping. Yeah I think I might be out of luck on this one.

Yeah I formatted to no avail.
Btw I ran out of my daily thanks, I'll continue as I get more. Thank you all very much for bothering to help me with this!
