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!
Hey guys, I ordered a boost mobile Moto G and it's arriving in a few days. I was wondering how would I go about converting it to GPE, and what does it entail? For example does conversion allow it to function correctly with working wifi, and to receive OTA updates directly from google, or would i have to manually flash lollipop roms for boost?
The first step is unlocking the bootloader which will void your warranty!
I am not sure if its possible to convert to GPE firmware with the Boost model.
I've tried to flash gpe on my xt1031, afterwards radio (calls, data, etc) weren't functioning, no matter what radio or baseband I flashed. It only worked once I went back to the stock boost ROM.
I've been searching for a way to do it for months, and have had little success.

Be thankful and grateful that you can unlock your bootloader, root, flash a custom recovery and flash roms. I had the xt1028 Verizon prepaid and none of that is possible if you're on 4.4.4 which my phone came with preinstalled. Phone is not eligible for bootloader unlock.

You can't flash any gpe rom on the boost variant if you use the radio. I've tried flashing modems but it just doesn't work with gpe on boost.

I would like to second that. Based on all of the posts I have read (a lot!) the gpe version is for gsm phones and won't work on cdma (boost).
I recently unlocked my moto, installed twrp and aokp7.1. due to some reason, tried restoring backup from twrp but didn't unselect modem. During restoration my modem was wiped and the backup file didn't have modem backup. In the end it shows failed to mount modem, system or device busy. Now my phone keeps on showing the boot animation .
Mine is Indian version moto turbo xt1225
Please help.

Boot into TWRP. Connect USB cable to a computer and drag these files below over to your phone, preferably to the Download folder.
While still in TWRP, flash the @bhb27 "clean modem" file (just in case), then re-flash your XT1225 radio. Reboot your phone.

Thanks a lot. My phone is up & running. Can this modem cause any problem, as mine is an Indian version moto maxx and this one is for Brazil?

No, all the Moto XT1225 radios are interchangeable. Should not cause any problems. All the XT1225 have the same FCC ID, same radio bands. The only reason the India XT1225 was called "Moto Turbo" instead of "Moto Maxx" is there was some carrier there in India called Max or Maxx, and Motorola didn't want any confusion this phone was in any way tied to them.
I live in the U.S.A. and my wife and I have Puerto Rico and Mexico Moto Maxx XT1225 phones. At one point in 2015, I flashed both to India "Moto Turbo" firmware 5.0.2. (including radio). When I did that, both phones even stated "Moto Turbo" in the "About Phone" section in Settings. (India XT1225 had Lollipop a month before the other XT1225, so that's why I did it -- to get official Lollipop.) Everything worked fine, of course.
Then months later, I flashed CM 12.1 custom ROM over both, and for awhile kept the India XT1225 radio on both the Puerto Rico and Mexico Moto XT1225.
Then, sometime in 2016 I flashed Puerto Rico Lollipop radio over both (including the "Mexico"), just to see if there was any difference. There wasn't. Now I have this same @bhb27 Brazil Marshmallow radio flashed on both, on RR 6.x. ROM -- because it was the easiest way to update to Marshmallow radio.
If you wish, at some point you can download and re-flash "India" Marshmallow radio files via fastboot. (There's no TWRP version I can find.) But you really won't see any difference...
BHB27 Clean Modem File
For anyone else reading this thread...
I keep both the BHB27 Clean_modem_status.zip and the Marshmallow Moto XT1225 Radio/Modem Zip file in my internal memory download folder permanently, since I flash ROM updates very often. (There's also TWRP version of the XT1254 Marshmallow modem for Droid Turbo owners.)
You shouldn't need the radio zip file every time, but the BHB27 Clean_modem_status.zip file is an amazing and very useful tool. Until @bhb27 coded that, several Quark owners were complaining about GPS issues when installing custom ROM. It did seem to affect Droid Turbo XT1254 owners more than XT1225, and it didn't affect everyone. But, it was still a constant discussion point. Lots of solutions were offered -- I found TopNTP app helped tremendously (and I still recommend installing that app -- just be sure to enable the "survive ROM flash" setting so you dont have to keep re-installing it after ROM updates.).
But the only guaranteed workaround -- prior to this file -- was found to be:
flash back to stock
get a GPS lock
made a backup
then install custom ROM
then restore modem
...or something like that. Forgive me if I don't remember all the details. It was a hassle, but that was the solution.
Then, people started sharing their "good" modem TWRP backup files (which already had a GPS lock), that other people could "restore" via TWRP. That's an excellent example of the XDA community helping each other, and was a quicker way of getting to the same point -- but still not ideal.
The issue was when flashing a new ROM on this phone, the modem sometimes became "confused". On the new ROM, GPS wouldn't work!
THEN, @bhb27 coded this amazing app, which clearly and simply "cleans" the older modem data out. It basically clears the cache of the modem. That may not be a technical explanation, but that's the best way to understand it. BOOM! It SOLVED all the GPS lock problems! :good: When flashing a new ROM on this phone, you should probably also flash this file.
Now, when newbies come into the threads and say "I can't get a GPS lock. Please Fix!" we just roll our eyes because they haven't bothered to do even a basic search of "GPS" in the thread. This is a 2-year old phone (actually released late 2014) and we've had custom ROMs since early 2015. Development is VERY mature on this phone. You don't think we've solved something as basic as GPS? Please.
I flash this file every time I do a ROM update, although it's probably not necessary. It doesn't hurt, and can help prevent any modem/radio issues.
Right on @ChazzMatt, I flash this .Zip file on my xt1250 on Verizon all the time, even just dirty flashing an update.
Of course, thanks to @bhb27 for its availability.
Edit. Wrong post. Sorry

Hello there, I'm having issues at the time I make a Phone call, signal is OK, Microhpone ok, Earphone Ok, but when I call someone I can't hear the one I'm calling an they also can't hear me, do you guys think it might be my Radio or Modem, Firstly I thought it was a hardware problem, but it's not, then I thought flashing a different ROM would solve this, but it seems nothing changed, my phone is unlocked both Bootloader and network, pls help

Try re-flashing the modem or even reflashing a different XT1225 modem. I've flashed Puerto Rico, India, and Brazil modems on my XT1225. They all work. Do NOT flash XT1225 modem over XT1254/XT1250. I'm assuming you have XT1225, as you don't really say.
If you open up a sound recording app, and record audio, does the microphone work then? I know it's not just a microphone problem, since you also can't hear the caller, but I'm just trying to think of any issues.
If you have TWRP, the TRWP-flashable Brazil XT1225 Marshmallow modem is listed in this thread. IF you need XT1254, I can point you to another location.

Have you tried reflashing your modem?
The clean modem status was made by Quark dev @bhb27. I don't know if it works for other Motorola phones.
