Hey everyone who cares to read my posts, I have a question for you all. I tried to use the newest firmware posted this morning by Skrillax @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2095536 . Using RSD Lite 5.7 I had the same problems with this one as the other one, I can't get past getvar commands until I remove them from the .xml, and when I get to system.img it fails saying Failed flashing process, phone returned fail. I really want to know if I can fastboot flash this firmware somehow, all I need is some direction. I am hoping this new firmware is more stable than the other!:good:
EDIT: Just downloaded the RSD 6.0 and it worked! d/l here: https://hotfile.com/dl/174582400/60ad26d/RSDLite_6.0.rar.html
P.S. Also had to remove the two getvar commands from the xml file to get it to work!
Could you do a step by step
RSD Doesn't recognize my Photon Q, I Press the Volume + - and power at the same time, then I go to AP Fastboot Connect it to the computer and RSD 6.0 doesn´t see it

The correct way to flash my Atrix 2 back to STOCK 2.3.5 is as follows, correct?
1. Download RSD Lite (latest version)
2. Download the 2.3.5 FXZ file from the provided link.
3. Find the FXZ file in RSD Lite, then begin flashing?
I'm lost after this. Does RSD read that my phone is connected or what? are there any tips or tricks or anything to help? I've looked at the beginners guide but I want to be 110% sure I'm doing this right.
Did you take a look at the beginners thread? It explains it rather well...
But anyways first you have to download the fkz, and then RSD Lite.
IF YOUR ON 2.3.6 download the replace.zip found in the beginners thread
Otherwise if your on 2.3.5 just boot your phone into fastboot mode ie. hold the vol up and vol down button when turning the phone on then selecting AP Fastboot.
Then find the file in RSD Lite and hit flash...
Consult the beginner thread found HERE
Yes, that's where I got those first three steps from. I just want to make absolute sure that I am doing it right.
it right....................
When flashing from 2.3.5 on rsd I get a flash failure at step 6. USB debug selected and charge only. I've done this before at least 3 times with success. Any ideas?
Hello,
I recently screwed up my VZW Droid Razr to the point where it would remain in the boot sequence indefinitely. Figuring I had somehow wrecked my OS, I have since tried several times to fastboot the phone to a Gingerbread or ICS rom, but I have been not been successful. I really don't want to take my chances with sending it to the Motorola repair center - if someone could help me get a working OS on my phone, that would really make my day.
I have the Android SDK installed (with all SDK tools and Google drivers installed) on my computer, as well as RSD Lite 5.6.
I have been attempting to fastboot my device using fastboot files found at
[http-double-slash]sbf[dot]droid-developers[dot]org/cdma_spyder/list[dot]php (I'm a new user, so I can't post a real link)
Both an ICS fastboot and a GB fastboot have failed on my phone. My method has been:
1.) Boot Mode Selection Menu > AP Fastboot
2.) Plug device into computer, run RSD Lite, confirm that it can see fastboot device
3.) Select a fastboot file in RSD, uncompress file
4.) Flash file to device.
The GB fastboot file I tried failed to flash onto the device...it was at step 7 or so when i got an error and the flash failed.
The ICS fastboot flashed completely onto the device, but when I try to start my Razr it just goes back into AP Fastboot mode and says "Recipe Failure"
This is really frustrating. What am I doing wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated, and I can post more info upon request. Thanks!
I have been rooting for about a year now, albeit largely with Samsung devices via Odin and CWM Recovery. I now have a Verizon Motorola RAZR HD (xt925) and have been unsuccessful with unlocking the bootloader. I decided to use Safestrap with it, and tried to load Eclipse-v5.0-build2-xt926, reportedly compatible with my XT925... now i am stuck with this screen:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been looking to XDA for my answers over the last year. Help would be appreciated. Twenty-five dollars worth of appreciation.
(Yes, I have resorted to bribes....)
Easy fix,
download what ever version of the system software you had on it previously.
Flash it in fast boot mode.
?????
Profit.
Edit: also Verizon RAZRs are xt926 not xt925

Phone identified itself as 925... either way, i am unsure where i can find stock software for it and seem to be unable to flash anything from fastboot, because as it turns out, i am code-retarded. definitely profit when this is solved. I can "cd" through dos and get to where fastboot commands are entered and I have even tried to "fastboot recovery recovery.img" but for the life of me, i must be typing the string incorrectly somehow. But I am excellent at following clear-cut directions. i will try to find a stock image...for motorola, it is a .sbf file, right? If i seem stupid, i apologize, i'm not. just not up on all the nomenclature native to adb and fastboot (or linux). Thanks for helping me though.....i need it.
Ok,
First thing I want you to do is look on the back of the phone, It will have the model on the lower half of it.
Second thing is to find the official software.
For XT96:

For xt925
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/vanquish_u/list.php
Flash the ROM file using RSD Lite.
If it dosnt work:
Make sure you have the moto drivers installed.
open up the .xml file in the rom and remove the "getvar" lines.
Still trying
Failed at 16/27 flash system system.img
What version did you try?
VZW_XT926_4.1.2_9.8.1Q_62_VQW_MR-4_VQW_CFC.xml
having a hard time finding other .xml files to use... any non-stock .xml available? really want to get into an AOKP/CM/PAC/Liquidsmooth/Carbon/Paranoid.....whatever is 4.2.2
No, only official roms are packaged like that.
You need to have RSDlite at least Version 6 or higher. Also, edit the xml file as stated here.
If your phone is up & running again you can consider going to another rom either with safestrap or by unlocking your BL, installing a recovery and flashing any ROM you like. As stated above you can only flash Stock FW using RSDLite. All other roms can only be applied with either safestrap or CWM Recovery (or similiar).

sorry buddy but i didn't read all of your post. cuz i know it. if you can't flash your phone using fastboot recovery bootloader mode and ect... you need to flash using J-TAG or BOX , normal users doesn't have these tools, mobile fixers have these... that is the very last way of flashing...
if i helped you press THANKS button

because no one faced that problem, even me, but i see lots of pepple failing to flash theyr phones and using j-tag, ok i don't know what is the name of box there, but here they call it box, it will cpnnect to COM1 port and a tiny box is in middle and it will connect to phone! it has its own flash tools and... the box is 20-30$ i never buy one of them, i just pey them for flashing (for some phones that i can't flash)
we can't do this, so maybe you can? i suggest you to call your mobiles caustomare care service, and tell the problom to them, they know what to dp
and i read some where that motorolla uses mtk chipsets
so try a search of " how to flash mtk phones "
it use sp flash tool, sorry
and other thing, i'm so sleepy i cant type any more, if i helped press thanks...
I have run into trouble using this method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb0jKB8OFko to flash stock firmware
My device: Droid Maxx
Bootloader locked, not rooted
4.4.4 at the start of the process
I downloaded the suggested firmware and ran into problems.
The first time I attempted it RSD appeared to flash everything except system.img which got hung up and the bootloader gave me a message in red stating: "no valid piv block in sp for system" This occured with the 1FF-obake-maxx_verizon-user-4.4.4-SU6-7.2-release-keys.xml.zip 1.0.0 software.
Figuring I had the incorrect firmware i tried two other roms: 1. CFC-obake-maxx_verizon-user-4.4.4-SU6-7.2-release-keys.xml.zip 1.0.0 and 2. 1FF-obake-maxx_verizon-user-4.4.4-SU6-7-release-keys.xml.zip 1.0.0. Both failed with a different error message. This time RSD and the bootloader told me "preflash validation failed for gpt".
I have tried this with RSD 6.1.5 and 6.2.4
My suspicion is that I don't have the correct firmware, but I could be wrong.
The bad news is that the phone will not boot into recovery or normally. The good news is that the phone WILL enter bootloader mode and RSD WILL recognize it.
Anyways any help would be greatly appreciated.

Okay, as long as you can enter fastboot (bootloader mode) there is hope. That's the first thing.
Since RSD recognizes your phone then there is obviously something wrong with the flashing process. You can use either the 1FF obake-maxx or CFC obake-maxx firmware. The 1FF keeps your apps and data intact while the CFC firmware wipes everything off your phone and you start clean. I would recommend using the CFC so you do not anything left over from previous flashes. Also, make sure the entire firmware file is downloaded. I got only partial downloads( like 150/200 mb) several times when I tried to download the files. Both the 1FF and CFC should be about 900 or so mb each. Exactly what steps are you following? And where are you getting your downloads from?

Thanks for your help, but it appears that I have resolved the issue. As it turns out, the software need to be extracted to and launched from a clean folder. I had been placing it in the same folder I had adb and fastboot. My guess is that having the other version of fastboot in the same folder as the XML file confused RSD and caused the problem.
