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.

Hi, I recently decided to root my Nexus 5 using this guide on youtube: /watch?v=J1AKqrrf-5o
But after I'm all done with the rooting process, I noticed that my Nexus 5 has lost its LTE signal. Now it onlyy uses 3G. I managed to put it back on LTE by doing: *#*#4636#*#* and changed my prefered network, but by doing so, I lost my service with T-Mobile. Can't call or send messege with LTE on.
Please help me! I'm very new to Android and rooting but this first experience is not so good. Can you tell me what went wrong? Also, I rooted using the Linux guide.

If all else fails flash the google stock images
Agreed. A root alone should not have caused an issue with your radio unless something went incorrectly. I would ( personally ) flash Google's stock nexus images and then possibly try again. Gaining root access can be done different ways, you may need to read into other alternatives...
I don't know. I use the ChainFIre CF Auto root on Ubuntu. I did unrooted the device earlier and was able to get LTE and service to work. Though after I use this samw method again, LTE stopped working properly, so I guess something is wrong with this method. Will try the "standard" method later though, if I can get a hold of a windows computer.
Let's back track a bit. What is the goal with root? Are you wanting to keep a custom recovery? What network are you using?
If you are going to just root stock and not go for a custom rom, I'd just flash a custom recovery via fastboot then boot to recovery and flash the SuperSU zip from Chainfire. At that point, you're rooted stock. If you decide to take an OTA update then you'll just need to make sure that you have the stock recovery installed. However, it's just as easy to flash the update when one of our devs packages it as a rom zip to flash via custom recovery, if not easier really.
Frankly, at this point my knowledge about android phone is still very hazy as this is acually my first ever phone, let along rooting, but I am eager to learn. So what's wrong if I didn't get a custom recovery? I just followed the instruction that they (chainfire autoroot) have for Linux and got this. Dunno if it was something in my phone nor the root. I am on T-Mobile BTW.
Yea, I'm baffled by that method affecting anything to do with service. It should be one of the least intrusive ways to root. However, weird things happen. So where are we now? Are you still rooted with the service issues? Which update / baseband are you on? You have the correct T-Mobile APNs? Have LTE(Recommended) selected under Preferred Network Mode in Settings / More... /Mobile Networks? Shouldn't really be necessary to mess with changing stuff in the Hidden Menu in this instance.
I'm on T-mobile Nexus 5 KitKat 4.4.2, with LTE in prefered mobile data. I rooted, the problem happened, unrooted this morning, the problem gone, rooted again with same method, the problem came back. I think I have the right APN since there are two with T-mobile options and I have tried both of them. As of now, I am still on root, but thinking of unroot it again...

Still scratching my head over that, as the whole idea of Chainfire's auto root just literally is only supposed to install the SuperSU app and the binary and make no other changes. Obviously that isn't the case for you though. Are you unrooting via the settings in the SU app or via reflashing the stock img files?

I used the stock flashing method. I only unrooted it though, not lock the boot loader.

Ok. So at this point, I would have the SuperSU zip (contains the SuperSU app and su binary) http://download.chainfire.eu/381/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.91.zip on your phone, then fastboot a custom recovery like TWRP http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/hammerhead (fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img), boot into recovery, and flash the zip. No need to wipe anything. Should just be able to flash and go. Then open SuperSU and make sure the binary is updated.
I'm sorry but how does one flash a custom recovery? Do I need a PC alondside or I can just do it entirely on my phone?

I included the command in the parenthesis in the last post.
In bootloader mode on the phone, of course, flash from PC, with the file in your fastboot folder:
fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img (note - you can change the name of the file you download to whatever, as long as you leave the extension .img alone. ex: twrp.img)
If you are rooted already or still, you can flash from the phone either via the GooManager app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager like this:
Install the app and open it. Tap menu then hit Install OpenRecoveryScript. Tap Yes. Verify that the filename displays your device's code name and hit Yes. The file will download and your device will install the recovery automatically.
or
(Rooted only) You can also use the app Flashify to flash the .img file directly from the phone. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
So yea, to solve your issue, I think it would be best to just start clean/stock, then go with the custom recovery flashed from PC + SuperSU zip method. If you can fastboot the other files to return to stock, this is no different and very quick. Should not take more than 5-10 seconds to flash the recovery. The whole operation, starting from scratch should take make 3-5 minutes to flash recovery, boot to it, flash the SuperSU zip then reboot, assuming you have fastboot set up properly and the 2 files you need downloaded already.

I don't know , but this is very interesting. I now suspect that the problem is from T-Mobile's end, not mine, nor the root. I just dug into my mom,dad's phone and what did I find? 3 goddamn G! Not LTE. But when I tried to force the thing to get LTE, it disconnected from the service. However, when I moved to another location this evening, both the LTE and service came back. I think something odd is happening either in my neighborhood or T-Mobile service. Anyways, seems like nothing of major, might have to have a talk to T-Mobile about this.
But last question, with my CF root now, how can I know if I already have a custom recovery yet? And which one? You know for if I want to flash a ROM in the future. And thank you for your help!

Just boot into recovery and see what you have.
If you used CF-Root, then it would not have installed a custom recovery. This is something that you would have done on your own and not likely to have forgotten. If you root access is working properly, I'd suggest installing TWRP from the GooManager app as it's pretty easy and no PC required.
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/205
Then make a nandroid back up of your phone and make sure to back up the EFS folder too and save them to a safe place. You can back that up in TWRP or from the method described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514095
Let's back up here. Why do you think you need root if you have no idea what you are doing? Are you just rooting because you can or do you have a real purpose?

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. .

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.
My v10 downloaded an OTA , which im assuming is 6.0
1. Im rooted on stock 6.0 and unlocked boot loader. Will the OTA work without messing up anything ? Ill have to root again im sure, just want some info before i pull the trigger.
I don't think the update will even proceed being that you're on a rooted ROM. I have that notification too, and i just don't know how to turn it off.
I to am rooted,unlockboot and stock rom. I don't feel like taking a chance. So I used titanium backup to freeze the software update and in the drop down notification if you press it, it's a notification from Google play services if you block it in apps it will disappear from your drop down. I also deleted the update zip in the cache folder.I used es file explorer ,device/cache/update

Okay, I'm assuming you are on H90120e (system version). There is a root exploit for the H90120j update. You just do the following:
Make a backup of your apps and settings
Flash your phone to the new update (H90120j)?
Take a look at either one of these threads to root your device again:

You can't flash the phone that is already rooted and has TWRP.
I am in this same situation. On stock rom with root and twrp. I want to update to the new update, but do not want to loose all my apps, settings, etc.
Question is, how to do the initial update before having to re-root again?
How do we flash the phone with the new update?

All you are doing is opening the LGUP tool and flashing the new H90120j .kdz file using the "refurbish" option then flashing the H90120j .tot file that has TWRP using the "update" option which will flash the phone regardless of what is running on your phone. The guides on the first link explain that. I believe your concern is keeping all of your settings and apps. Look up Titanium backup, it works for me.
Thank you. I only flash the LGH901AT-01-V20j-310-260-JUL-12-2016-ARB02+0ROOTTWRP tot file and all is good.
Well except that I lost Dolby audio.
I will look for a fix.

There's a guide in general that tells how to do all this. In fact jun19inf WROTE it.
In a nutshell, do a twrp backup.
Upgrade to 20j by flashing the stock 20j kbz.
Enable usb debugging and oem unlock
flash tot that has twrp in it.
Now you can go into twrp and 1) root via supersu 2) restore ONLY data from your twrp backup taken previously to get your apps etc back. Alternatively Titanium Backup will also do just fine.

I'm on stock MM 6.0 (H90120e) Rooted and I will not have access to my main PC for another week as I'm traveling.
Thanks,

If all is you have is root, you should be able to unroot in the SuperSU settings, and then let the update install. But if you have TWRP, then I can't see any way to do the update without using a PC to flash your phone back to stock ROM and recovery. Although you may check the dev. section to see if Eliminator has a flashable ROM to bring you up to date.

Hi all. I just got my factory warranty back and I attempted to root it. Everything went as it should, until just after the install finished. Instead of rebooting normally, it now will only reboot into TWRP. Once there, when I try to flash a custom ROM (in this case, Bliss, but I don't think it matters, I get an error message that says the zip file is corrupt. Then, while still in recovery, when I tried to wipe everything except the sd card, it says mkfs.fat process ended with error. I then powered down and attempted the factory reset. I scrolled down on both screens and it did not say anything about any errors, so I assumed it took. However, it reboots right back into TWRP recovery. It also boots right to TWRP recovery when I try to boot normally. Of course, adb does not recognize the phone in any mode that I can get into (fastboot/recovery/download), so, I can't use LG Bridge to reflash the original firmware. Does anybody have any ideas for a fix? I know that this replacement phone had 6.0 on it. I thought I did everything to a t? TIA...
OK, not sure how I got there, but when I attempt to reboot from TWRP it says No OS Installed! Are you sure you want to reboot? That at least says what the problem is. Does anybody know how to fix this?
Where can I download the update file?

Did you select refurbish or upgrade?
I believe you need to select upgrade when flashing or you get stuck in TWRP

How to root V10 T-mobile M.M ver V20L
How to root V10 T-mobile M.M ver V20L
Can some one guide me on the following:
1. Can I flash back and downgrade to Software version V20J from V20L.
2. Is there any root method for V10 t-mobile MM ver V20L.
1. It is well explained in this forum, you CANNOT go back without facing a software brick.
2. You can root your phone through Dirty_Cow method or by flash Eliminater74 ROM (Part1 & Part2).
Again, search for that in this section and in development one...

no clue but i fastboot flashed the images because the OTA refused to work, but flashing the images worked. i'm still able to connect to ATT towers from my sprint sim unlocked PH-1.

Noob question here: When using fastboot to flash the update image, do you have to worry about the "slot A" vs "slot B" thing?? Can you provide a little more insight? I've been reading around the forum, and I'm a little worried about bricking my phone! (The bootloader on my phone is unlocked and I've rooted the phone, but I haven't flashed a third-party ROM. The OTA update feature gives me a "couldn't update" message.)

No you don't have to worry about it. The flash all file in the zip will do all the work for you. It wont take update via ota because you have to be on the stock boot.img. the stock boot img has the recovery built into the ramdisk there for if your rooted then there is no stock recovery to use for ota. Be cautious because flashing via fastboot will wipe the phone.

If I edit the .bat file and remove "format userdata", that will prevent the wipe?

It should without issues but always prepare for hickups.
Anyone else having issues when trying to update to the February release? I tried to sideload the OTA update and that kept giving me the error "adb sideload failed to read command: no error" and then I decided to follow Morphius's suggestion here to just unroot my device by flashing to stock bootloader in order to try to take the OTA update and that OTA keeps failing as well. Anyone else having this issue?

Again, a very noob question, (and I do apologize) but can I use something like Titanium Backup to make sure I can restore all my apps the way they were after I flash the update via fastboot? Reinstalling everything seems like a gigantic pain in the backside.

Titanium Backup used to require root access. You probably need to be rooted before you update via fastboot and run the backup through Titanium Backup. Then you will need to copy your backup files to a computer because fastboot flashing will erase your phone data. Next apply the fastboot update, root again, copy your backup back to the phone and restore your backup.

I don't have memory leak anymore..
1.5gb ram not in usage.
The last time I restarted my phone was after the update.
I'm using my Essential 'phone in the UK having recently purchased it used. On the 7th I had a notice to say that an update was available. When I tried to install it it downloaded, but refused to install saying: Couldn't update... installation problem. As far as I know the 'phone is running the stock software but I noticed that no updates had been installed since October 2018. I unchecked 'allow bootloader unlocking' in case that was the issue, but still couldn't perform the update.
I went onto the Essential website and downloaded the OTA image to my iMac, then, following the guide, sideloaded the update on to the 'phone. This worked well and I now have an updated PH-1. I'll have to see if March's update now installs correctly or not.
so.... am i reading this right... and here is my thinking...
to keep root and still take the OTAs
- go to Essentials site and download the image zip
- (to keep root) copy boot.img to your device, patch it through magisk, then copy it back to your ota folder.
- open flashall.bat, comment the format userdata (to keep your data), change the boot.img line to patched_boot.img
- run flashall.bat
- profit
