So i have a Droid Razr Maxx HD xt926
it is on the latest 4.2.1 ota
It was starting to run slow, so i figured it was time to root and get a custom rom. but what i didn't realize is you cant unlock boot-loader.
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
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (s)
10.9B(#) (sha-1e9f, 2013-05-25 01:04:26)
eMMC info: Size 32GB
Divice is LOCKED, Status Code: 0
Battery OK
Connect USB
Data Cable
Failed to hab check for recovery: 0x56
Fastboot Reason: Boot Failure
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.

sounds like you jacked stock recovery. if it will boot up, try using this http://www.mediafire.com/download/tt7cwwua49n24uv/Razr_HD_Recovery_Flasher_V7.rar to put the stock recovery back on. i cant say for sure it will work but i think it will.

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:

true but you have to modify files before rsd will work, and the utilities say dont use on the latest update (locked) unless there is one i haven't seen, correct?

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

Already installed various recoveries only my device so enter the stock recovery, bootloader unlocked with this, I want to install cm10.1.3 4.2.2 and I can not, can someone help me?
My Droid Razr HD is doing the same thing
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.
I am having a similar issue but my bootloader is unlocked and no matter what I flash to recovery recovery won't work anymore whether it being a factory reset or trying to just plain boot in to it.

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:
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

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?
I just brick my phone, and i just wonder, if it will never work again, or maybe there's a magical solution

You sure you bricked it? That's the consumer version right? If you have acces to the fast boot on then we can help but if you have you boot loader unlocked then that's tuff cause we still learning not to brick for the hd . I'll tell you what though, If you boot loop or have a black screen try holding power and volume buttons until either the screen freezes and reboots or until it starts up again. Then you can access boot loader mode and or fast Boot we can flash something.

any successful flash should clear that off. just grab your stock software from sbf-developers and flash it with rsd.

My first post due to a death
The death of my XT925 was probably on the cards since I decided to wet my appetite and unroot it and also unlock the bootloader. Everything was sweet at this point, but then I decided to upgrade to kitkat. A big risk, as it turned out, since now I have a smooth attractive-looking brick. My mistake was downloading a rom, which after _nearly_ completing, failed (after many attempts to get it). I repaired it, and then installed it using some root software. I'll have to look up the names, but now I have no response after a lot of frenzied button pressing. Bootloader / fastboot would allow me to get RSD Lite fired up - but I have nothing. The last thing I did was leave it on overnight with the recovery menu on the screen. Should I get my shopping pants on?

Sorry to hear this.
Flashing is a risky process one can easily flash something that is corrupt, or have something not complete.
One user is trying to restore his with this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2551113
Things to try.
1) Flashing the fxz/xml using the snapdragon fastboot command line
Last resort thx to SamuriHL
2) In custom recovery, you could attempt to wipe the system partition and see if that then allows you to flash the fxz/xml.
3) If not, wipe the system partition and then flash a known working rom in custom recovery (4.1.2).
Hey guys,
i once again destroyed my system.
Seems my backups dont work.
Is it possible to flash /System, without anything else via fastboot?
So that the Rom, works again
Edit:
I think I maybe need the odex file for Android-policy and the Odex file for the Framework-res.apk from o2 germany .sbf
Does anybody have these?

Great tutorial.
Update:
Phone behaves strange as Hell.
When i turn on the Phone Bootloader opens and says: Bootloader Reason: Flash Failure
I managed to boot up Liquid Smooth Rom, by selecting normal boot in bootmenu, but on every reboot it shows: Flash Failure.
I cant get the Phone Recognized by Fastboot, but when booted it shows up normally, but thats possible, cause everything i did today i did at work, so maybe some drivers aren't installed correctly on my home PC.
Tomorrow i think i will try to flash a sbf via RSD, to get this Flash Failure Warning away, figured out i need RSD Lite 6.x and i was using RSD-Lite 5.x maybe this is the solution to all my problems
If anyone has an idea, please feel free to help me on my journey to a working Razr HD.

I seem to remember reading that once you successfully flash something that warning goes away. You could flash one of the many boot logos floating around to verify that. Also if it keeps booting into fastboot mode you can apply this command while there:
Code:
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
Ok, i now used RSD-Lite 6.0 and everything worked fine.
Thanks for all your help guys

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.

Oh ok, so the stock roms are using the updated kernel/baseband/etc ?

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!

This is for the 907 but same steps as for the 926, just get the 404 xml for the 926 & mod the xml as I did for/in the xml file.
There are several steps to delete.

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.
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.
