Jig does nothing for our phone you're worthless tired you don't think properly nobody does but anyway grab a cwm flashable twrp then just flash a ROM you probably have some old version of cwm that newer Roms don't like
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
you stated that u dl stock 4.1.2 and used cwm to install, cant do that w/cwm unless its a cwm/twrp flashable zip file
u r tired, rest, read the stickies on installing cwm/twrp and/or restoring to stock
usb jig was a waste of money
there are flashable zip files for cwm and twrp in the 1stop sticky, flash either one then flash a rom
yes i tried flashing a stock 4.1.2 rom that was converted into a flashable zip file. and ok ill try said instructions and see if it works but so far nothing has been able to been flashed.
I'm vaguely recalling a time when I was trying to flash a ROM and it was giving me an insufficient memory error. You may have to do some spring cleaning if that's your issue.
its not really giving me an error besides the installation aborted one...but now its not showing any zips on my sd card at all...smh in confusion and misery.

It's just an sd card, be thankful it's not the phone.

Pls help-
I'm not quite a noob, but def no dev... got my Atrix 2 rooted using mastermind's 1-click method, installed bootstrap & flashed clockworkmod recovery- everything went fine until trying to flash/restore the ROM itself. I followed the instructions to the letter (save ROM in cwm backup folder, wipe cache & data, do not flash zip... restore in recovery). Yet i've bricked 2 atrix 2's trying to install this rom. Luckily the store I work at was good about letting me switch out, but kinda scared to brick a 3rd device. It just errors on restore then goes back to cwm. I try to reboot and cant get past the moto startup screen.. I'm sure i'm doing something wrong, cuz I know it should work (there are screenshots in the thread)... any help?

Did you unzip the rom and then put the contents in the backup folder?
You do know that you are more than likely going to be charged full price of the phone if you are returning a bricked phone to the store.

Luckily I work for a phone sales store, so they didn't charge me full price, as I blamed the phone bricking on a "bad software update" (which is kinda true- if the rom had restored properly, I wouldn't have been bricked in the 1st place)
; )
and it was still within the exch. period anyway... But that's neither here nor there... Yez, I unzipped the folder into the cwm backup folder. Not sure about reflashing fxz, havent tried that yet... don't really know how, never had to do that? I've flashed dozens of roms on my HTC & Samsung galaxy phones, but this is my first exp. w/ moto. So any help u can give is appreciated.

I had a similar problem, found the unzipped folder nested 2x under clockwork/backup.
Like this

What I did was move all the files from second folder to the first then deleted second folder.
Hope I am clear and that it helps.

Unzip rom, move the folder with the 2 files, to CWM/BACKUP.....boot into recovery, choose BACKUP/RESTORE, and restore the rom.

Just try to flash fxz,it's pretty simple. You just need the file you need and let the pc doing everything while you watching a tv.
I got this problem twice when i try to flash victory rom this morning,wich is caused by a corrupt file.
And everything is sorted out by flashing fxz.
Trust me,it works! (It sounds like commercials on tv )
You can always boot to recovery and when you see the android with the exclamation press both volume rockers to reset to factory.

The devs have got some roms from other moto phones to boot but have problems mostly with the radio and probably a handful of other things. I would highly recommend you not try to do this. We have plenty of good roms here in the dev section that you can flash that are good roms. Generally if you follow the instructions for each rom you would be fine but if you are afraid of bricking your phone make sure you read a lot before attempting anything and always make sure you have a way back to stock.

If I go to the gallery like I want to look at the pictures stored on it, I can see them greyed out in the background, but I get an error message.

I know you might not want to hear this, but it might be your SD card...
Those things don't last forever and errors on them can sometimes be tricky to diagnose because bad sectors can sometimes still be read even if they are bad.
My suggestion, if your PC can still read the card then you should start by backing everything up. Then, try using another SD card in the phone. If the phone can read that, then there might be something wrong with the first card. You can also try using the phone to reformat the problem card.
Try to debug in a way that determines if maybe the card is the problem. Just the other day I had a 32 gig card go bad on me. It happened when my phone fell and came out of it's case. After that the card didn't work anymore. I remembered seeing "shock proof" on sandisk's descriptions, but I always thought it was a marketting thing. Maybe it wasn't. There's also a possibility that my card simply failed before I dropped the phone, and the reboot caused the system to remount the card and finally see the problem.
Either way, it went bad and I lost my stuff. A cautionary tale.
So I had usb working on GB, leak 1 ICS, and then I flashed the MIUI ROM when mass storage wasnt working. I decided to go ahead n flash CM10 afterwords n since MIUI my usb mass storage is borked, I can only charge whenever plugged into a computer. Ive tried different ROMs n they all are the same (CM10, StockEd, NUMA) and none have it working for me. I wanna FXZ back n start over, but can cuz my AP Fastboot wont install the Edison S drivers.... I need help n am going crazy. The computer detects the phone in Fastboot, tries to install the drivers, but everytime fails I have tried going through the RSDLite n it cant detect my phone, I have the SDK setup too, so its not missing that :/ Im out of ideas on how to fix my usb other then if someone could upload a flashable zip of the ICS kernel we use, see if maybe the kernels just borked, otherwise can someone help??

As in? I dont know, Ill tell you everything Ive flashed, maybe you can figure it out lol. I got the phone, flashed leak 1, then MIUI, then CM10, then StockEd, then NUMA, now back on CM10. I have flashed the bootstrap (obviously lol). When it comes to the RSDLite n stuff, I tried the most recent 5.7 and for FXZ whatever the most recent is. My boot menu version is 0A.72. My fastboot says from top to bottom...
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
0A.72
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
Thats all it says. When I connect the cable it tries to install the drivers on windows side , but then fails.
If you need any other info, just let me know of what n possibly where. I know most android stuff, its when it comes to moto specific things like FXZ n stuff I suck at, this is my first locked device n first moto
Okay so basically go and double check you have the most current drivers. Then if you want to flash stock ics here is the link where I posted where to get it and rsd 6 as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1967529
And try to run the recovery factory format. Then run the fastboot after. I should not matter but I always did it before I used fastboot.

Like I've said I can't get RSDLite or FXZ to work. I went to RSDLites code.google.com or whatever n they had links for every RSD n both 32bit n 64bit drivers, I figured that'd have the most recent there. I'll try straight from motos site n see if it works

yes you don't necessarily have too but it is good practice to wipe everything before you flash a file using fastboot even though fastboot removes everything naturally.And basically you flash the stock 4.0.4 fastboot file .zip using RSDlite with the phone on fastboot mode. You cant flash any other rom like numa or anything else just the OTA updates which restore it back to stock.

Well that's gay! Idk if this is your problem but I had a SD card that was messed up and for some reason all my phones storage was going to it. When I plugged it into the computer it would only show my sdcard. And would not allow me to use the data on it. If you have a sdcard then it can't hurt to switch it. I am not saying that is the problem but it is a possibility.

Well I have no idea then:/ my only suggestion is to see if you can send them the phone for repair or for a replacement even though you did not buy the phone from att or motorola. There might be a way to solve this problem but I have no idea how. Maybe one of the devs on here can help? Like the one that ported MIUI to the atrix? And did you make sure that its not the cable and not the phone selected on charge only through the settings? Little things that no one thinks of sometimes that make a huge impact on the phone. Because if some how you can flash a fastboot file but not store data then maybe the drivers for the phone are messed up? Have you tried to store data on it from another friends computer?

Yes I have tried 3 diff computers to no avail. The cable is fine it worked before the MIUI ROM. I posted a reply to the devs MIUI thread and private msged hom n he wont reply, its been like a week :/ Like I was telling a friend of mine....maybe the bootloader got borked cuz its the only thing I know of that doesnt get touched when flashing roms or fxz'n. I mean is there a way to flash a fresh ICS ready bootloader or kernel? Hell I cant even do tjat cuz I finally fxz'd n it still doesnt work n now I have no root n cant do **** til I root. Any idea of a way to root or temp root on the phone. If i cpuld at least temp root I can perm root myself after n just deal with no usb mounting, Im stuck on OEM ICS n hate it lol, I wanna get back on CM10(preferably with usb mounting, but just wanna be back on a jellybean ROM now lol)

I installed CM10 on my skyrocket and then was trying to flash a new ktoonsez kernel and when rebooted, the phone wouldnt turn on. When i connect to the computer, a window pops keeps popping up asking to format the E drive. 1st i didnt want to format, but ultimately i clicked on format and then the window appeared that windows cannot format e drive.
It appears that something went wrong with the software on the internal memory while flashing and it got corrupted. Now is there a way to format it and install the stock software again?

Pull the battery out and let it sit for awhile then try again?? Do you have a link to the kernel you flashed?

I got the kernel from XDA and used the Touchwiz jellybean version from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28399829
You used a kernel meant for the s3. You're surely hard bricked. Best bet is either warranty or mobiletechvideos.com jtag repair. That'll set you back $50.
That's what I thought too, I've never seen that kernel for the skyrocket... +1 on the hard brick and jtag

besides jtagging i don't see any other way out. and why in the world would you flash ktoonsez kernel from s3 to s2. were you not aware that hardware and software and things are all different. im sorry but i wish there was a easy way out. but there isn't...
, seriously I don't know how you guys don't understand the difference between an S3 and S2 jtag enjoy.

Hey s3, s2, skyrocket there all the same, aren't they.
God promised men that he'd put beautiful women in all corners of the world. Then he laughed and laughed and made the world round
In that they are made by Samsung, Android OS and are phones then I would say yes they are all three the same. Humor

Someone please help, my G2X is in a bootloop. I was installing a ROM in CWM Recovery v5.0.2.0 and as it was nearing completion and it automatically quit and took me back to the beginning of CWM. So this is where I think I messed up, I hit reboot system now. It rebooted, showed the LG logo and took me back to CWM. It does this everytime. How do I get out of this bootloop? Please help! I have no phone until my HTC One comes, and it's on backorder unfortunately..

Can you flash a different ROM from CWM? Try downloading a different ROM on your computer, copy to your phone via USB and mount options under CWM, wipe and flash.

Use the ROM for recovery or cleanup batch. Make sure to backup data from internal SD card.
Another ROM from CWM should work though. Make sure to wipe data and cache.
I would have a $500 brick if it weren't for nvflash. Thanks Nvidia!
I've tried that as well. NV Flash didn't work either, I'll work on it some more in the morning. Thanks for more feedback of course.

That is odd. Nvflash is the savior of this device. Can you confirm that you have a P999 and not a P990? Look below the battery inside the battery door.

Yes I have the P999 Version, the P990 is the regular 2X model.

Try my tool, wiping all EXCEPT boot. Then try installing a ROM, and not the one which quit on you.
If that doesn't work, try using Mansa_noob's tool. Followed by flashing a ROM.

Nope, still nothing. I have all the drivers installed on my computer but it doesn't seem to want to detect the device. How odd..

No issues at all. APX shows up but the S/W upgrade doesn't show up.. My HTC One came today so I'm not too concerned about it anymore, though it'd be nice to have a backup phone.
try this. know where it says LEAVE THE BATTERY OUT? f**k that. take the battery out, BUT when it recognizes the phone put it back in then run the flash.bat I sent you

Funny thing is that I've tried that but every time I run it, it opens and closes right away.
after it was recognized? did you try to start the .bat then put the battery in as well?

If it opens and closes right away then the phone is NOT connected in APX mode.
Does it show up in the USB list as APX device?
