[Q] FIDO Razr HD LTE problems!

Hello all -
New to Android platform. Hope someone from this great forum can assist ... I'll try to be brief. First, my device:
Razr HD LTE xt925
FIDO
Android v.4.1.2
Had attempted a little while ago to unroot my phone, as I was curious about better customization options. For various reasons, I tried to 're-root' and go back to factory. Did that, upgraded from ICS Jellybean 4.1.2 (which is what my phone was on when purchased).
Now, when I boot the phone, I still get the message 'Bootloader is unlocked'. After upgrading from ICS to Jellybean, I saw a large number of Verizon specific apps. When booting the phone, instead of the Motorolla 'M' icon/splash, I get a 'Droid' icon, with sound-effects. Also, System Version shows as 9.16.XT926.Verizone.en.US (even though my phone is an XT925 on FIDO). I obviously fudged something up... !
Most importantly, ever since, my GPS is very spotty, and I cannot get on the FIDO LTE network. In Mobile Networks setting, I have to always have 'Global' selected as network. If I choose LTE/CDMA or GSM/UMTS, it can never find an available network.
I'm really just trying to get my phone back to the state is was when I purchased it.
Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!

Here's the JB file for Fido/Rogers:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/van...12.2_CANADA_VANQJBLTEFRCI_P004_CFC_fb.xml.zip

Thanks very much for your reply. I did try flashing with the FIDO file you quoted, and my phone didn't take it. I booted to fastboot, current drivers, and the RSD Lite message I got was:
Failed flashing process. 1/21 flash partition "partition_signed" -> Phone returned FAIL
The corresponding message on my phone was: Failed flashing process. 1/21 flash partition "partition_signed" -> Phone returned FAIL
Hope someone has an idea on how to successfully get back to the FIDO Android v.4.1.2.
Thank you all!

Have you removed the Getvar lines? You can also try the Telcel rom with Fido modem/fsg files placed into it. (That's what I had before custom roms because Fido was slow with JB).

Yes, I did try when removing getvar line in the xml.
I stated erroneously the error on my phone after trying the intitial FIDO flash - the phone error in fact was:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
I appreciate the input. Any other thoughts on this? I regret trying to unroot the damned thing in the first place... !

From what I can see, those errors come when trying to downgrade to ICS through RSD but you are trying to install JB so that makes no sense. Since you are bootloader unlocked you can probably flash the files through fastboot?

no worries man...calm down...you'll be fine...i had the same issue..i'm actually using an xt925 as well; had the same issue a couple of days back...see the issue is the ROMs that you see for xt925/926 is actually the ROM for verizon, so when you flashed a custom ROM, it actually flashed your GSM radio to the version radio, which is CDMA; These are the steps you need to follow, and you're good to go, trust me:
1). After deleting the getvar line, delete 2 lines below it as well, so lines 12 and 13, then try flashing with this new xml file. really imp, this will take about 5-10 mins, then the phone will reboot, dont unplug the cable yet, it's gonna reboot, and ask to sync phone with SIM, do that....and you're good to go.
2). Root.
3). Install TWRP, preferably 2.5, then backup your stockROM.
4). I would recommend using Matt's utility for xt926, and you can perform all the steps in sequence.
note: Since you unlocked your bootloader, you will always get that warning message, it's normal.
lemme know if it works!

eomahos I am in your debt. Worked like a charm!
In step 4 you indicated using 'Matt's utility for xt926' ... I'm not familiar with the utility. Do I use this to install TWRP?
Thanks again man!

Phone model (Retail India, Retail China or AT&T) & have you flashed other than retail firmware (aka. AT&T)?

Don't worry it can be fixed.
You've hit the problem that many of us NZ users have had. For some reason RSD Lite just doesn't work on the Telecom NZ phones. (Although some users say it worked for them)>
Try this thread. 3rd post down.

once you've got ICS running OK you can get root, install BMM and start installing custom ROMs

I think i should make a new post, used DroidHD Utility 2.0 Lite and i am back on gsm!Just lost 2 hours of my life but gained back thanks to this tool!Donation time!

[Q] Why RSD can't flash original UAE firmware to UAE Atrix2

Hello!
I am have some strange problem.
Have Atrix 2 MB865 and it is UAE, that i think. May be it mistake, but this photo of phone back.
Via RSD can successfuly flash only InlineFlashing_Edison_67.21.125_CFC_P3_APBP.xml.zip (is off for ATT). Any other images not flash without errors including official for UAE. The are errors with cdt.bin and recovery.bin.
The phone not have any ATT logotypes and initially was have some 2.3.x firmware (I do not have more information about what was in store phone firmware)
I can flash JB leak 3 without cdt.bin and recovery.bin, and it work, but camera not.
I can flash MIUI v4 ,it work, but battery so short lifetime.
I can't flash Unofficial MIUI v5 , have boot loop.
WTF?

MB865 does not necessarily mean it's an AT&T phone. If it is an AT&T model it will be quite obvious since it clearly says AT&T on the front of the phone.
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

So...
EMEI say - is UAE, but RSD can't flash any other image include off UAE, but only ATT. Why. May be some modules or identificators was rewrote with ATT image. I have no idea, and already use forum search and google (

You wont be able to flash any firmware except at&t. Because you flashed at&t 125. cdt.bin number increased & you can't downgrade, but if it works good (no battery drain & etc) leave it. Still you will not be able to downgrade to UAE fw... RSD will keep throwing cdt.bin err...

Thank you for answer.
What about ability to flash leak 3 or miui v5 or other Asian based firmwares?
That I wrote in first post I have some troubles (((

Not a good idea to post your IMEI number on a public forum... I've edited your post.

Moto G Telus/Koodo version - unable to flash non-Telus version

Hello,
For the better part of this evening I have been trying to flash Telus Moto G with a different ROM. I even unlocked the bootloader, but to no avail.
I keep getting the following errors when trying to flash bootloader, recovery and system:
hab check failed for boot
hab check failed for recovery
invalid PIV signed system image
(when trying to flash a ROM with three sparsechunks, sparsechunk.0 gives the error, two remaining flash correctly, the phone boots, but the phone is unusable (most of the menus and stuff is just not there)
I have tried GPE, same thing (wouldn't even boot).
Only thing that always works is flashing Telus firmware.
Is there ANY way to bypass this limitation?
Please help me!

same for me bro. I tried US retail and it didnt work. I didnt unlock bootloader so I went back to the telus one.
I dont get why you cant get it in if you unlock bootloader
anyways, I doubt there is a difference between these stock rooms. just saying..

There is a fundamental difference in that Telus version only has a few system languages, and doesn't have the ones I need.

could you root it, install cwm and than install custom rom?

Yes, I've finally managed to flash CWM and Cyanogenmod. Thanks for the tips!

Sweet! Good to hear.

Anyone found a way to install non-Telus stock FW or GPE on a Telus Moto G in the meantime? It appears Moto G losdt CM support, so I would like to get back to stock - but Telus version is not acceptable.

I've tried flashing the US and GB retail with no success. The result of the effort was a loss of radio antenna with no network connection. Flashing the Telus firmware repaired the antenna issue with no errors when flashing all the files. The issue seems to be the bootloader and leaves me wondering if it needs to be unlocked. I'm not desperate to have a retail version that I'm willing to void the warranty by unlocking the bootloader.
