4.4.4 21.11.21 is not downgradable??? - Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a consumer edition Maxx (not Dev) with bootloder unlocked via Chinese guy. I was messing with 4.4.4 and decided to go back to 4.4.0 (12.6.3), fired up RSD Lite but ... could not because:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main versin failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
Can someone confirm that 4.4.4 (21.11.21) is not downgradable to even 19.6.3.

Apparently not.

It's not possible as of now. The bootloader wont run the software for some reason. Just boot loops. Havent put much work into it though.

You have to remove few lines of code from the xml file.
I have seen a guy who removed 4 lines of code from the xml file and got success to downgrade with unlocked boot loader

That does not apply to 4.4.4. Been there done that

[Q] RAZR HD stuck in fastboot, cannot flash

Hi everyone, my XT925 is stuck in fastboot, and whenerver I try to flash it everything just fails; RSD shows this when I try to flash:
Failed flashing process. 1/20 flash partition "partition signed" -> Phone returned FAIL
I tried to flash this stock rom: XT925_vffr-user 4.1.2 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-26 1359487946
I had already rooted the phone and unlocked the bootloader too, and when I did an OTA update all hell broke loose, the phone now goes directly to fastboot mode, and shows this:
Downgraded secutiry version
Update gpt_main version failed
Failed to hab check for gpt_backup:0x35
failed to load GPT
CID read failure
Invalid CID status 0x69
No SP partition found
Fastboot reason: Invalid GPT
It also says Phone is LOCKED, Status Code:0
I think this means that somehow the bootloader is locked but I have already unlocked it; I don't know what to do, please help
Some Help
Hi, the same thing happened to me when I tried a ROM from a VFR on my LATAM RAZR HD. The OTA messed everything up.
You can check how I solved it on the thread I created asking for help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273574
Basically you need to treat your phone as LOCKED bootloader, meaning only flashing of a version that belongs to the region of your phone and newer or same version as the failed OTA will allow you to flash. Since this is the only way LOCKED bootloader phones will flash.

still cannot flash
I tried to flash this firmware, it's the more recent from telcel: 9.8.2Q-50-XT925_VQLM-21_AmericaMovil_MX_SIGNED_S12_USAVANQUTELMXLA020.0R_VANQJBTELMXLA_P009_A013_S1FF_v2_CFCv2_fb.xml
it didn't work
what can I do????
Is your phone from Telcel Mexico originally?
I ask because on my case it is. The firmware you need to flash has to be the latest one based on your phone region, on my case I flashed the Brasil Retail. Because my phone is from Latin America. So it will depend on were your phone is from. This is all because your phone is acting up as LOCKED bootloader so flashing a version from another region is not possible.
Also because your phone got stuck on an OTA you need to make sure the version you flash is at least the same one as the OTA, newer if possible.

Worked but not completely
Ok, I flashed the rom that you recomended, the phone finally boots into android, but now is always on "emergency calls only" mode, with or without Sim card any suggestions?
Phone should be back as unlocked bootloader
If you flashed a version fine now, I'm sure that at least you should be able to go into fastboot and see your bootloader as unlocked.
If this is true, then you can go ahead and flash any version available, either being an older Stock version (downgrade) or any custom ROM of your liking, like CM 10.1. You should try them and see if you get a proper signal.
Also in your case, if your bootloader is unlocked again, I recommend you installing the version that you know worked fine for you. It won't matter that it's older than the one you flashed right now. It's just a matter of following the guide for unlocked bootloaders to downgrade versions.
Good luck! :fingers-crossed:
Phone almost repaired
Ok, I flashed the latest stock rom from telcel, the phone is no longer on emergency call mode, the wifi and data connection works fine, but it always shows that there is no reception from my carrier, I can't make calls or send sms because when I try it the phone shows "mobile network not available", the funny thing is that I can connect to de data network from my carrier. What can be causing this trouble?
Honestly I have not faced this before it sounds very weird!
I can think of two possibilities, one your phone lost it's IMEI. You should check if it's still there, either by going through configuration and Phone Information or by the "secret code" on the dialer: *#*#4636#*#*
And in the following menu go into Phone Information. The first thing you should see is your IMEI. If it's not there, look for the how to restore your IMEI thread on here. I know it's there somewhere.
The second thing I can think of is to try to force your phone into your carrier, go into Cellular Networks area and manually choose your provider, this could force the registration.
Hopefully this will be of help!

Hello,
I have an xt926 and I tried to take the latest OTA upgrade.
My bootloader was unlocked, and I temporarily un-rooted with Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper.
My phone then got stuck in Fastboot with the same errors:
Phone is LOCKED, Status Code:0
Downgraded secutiry version
Update gpt_main version failed
Failed to hab check for gpt_backup:0x35
failed to load GPT
CID read failure
Invalid CID status 0x69
No SP partition found
Fastboot reason: Invalid GPT
I can't get the phone out of fastboot with the error messages.
The Windows Utility returned <remote access failure>
RSD returned <getvar errors>
(I tried deleting the 2 <getvar> lines in the .xml files, but then RSD said phone returned failure "sbl1.mbn".
I downloaded & installed the adb package, and I got the phone to respond to fastboot commands, but it still ended up in Fastboot with the above list of errors.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

replace the files in the tool with the files for your region. delete all the files for the 926 if any are left in there before flashing, so they arent flashed by mistake. also if any of your file names are not exactly the same as the current files inside, you will need to edit the batch file and fix the names.
if you dont want to do all that, you can get Mfastboot and flash your files to the phone manually one at a time starting with the partition file.
unable to flash partition signed
Hi.
I downloaded the SBF from sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=6 for my region(canada).
I proceeded to try to do universal through the RSD:

For Phone Model: VANQUISH_U
I got failed flash process 1/18 flash partition "partition_signed"
Before this, my phone was working fine. Got the kitkat update pushed to me and after update it was working fine. I was using it until my battery ran out so i turned it off. Afterwards, it just got stuck at the motorola logo. I tried to update it with xt926 didn't realize that my phone is xt925. Anyways, i got the bootloader unlocked. Tried the above but failed.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks!
what did you have on your phone before flashing it the first time? you can try reflash and edit xml before doing that, delete "getvar" line from it.

Originally had my RAZR HD firmware Telstra Australia, having unlocked bootloader I pass Retail Retail France and then to Brazil to upgrade to KitKat, where brick. I you explain how serious the replace files.
I have the Firmware Jelly bean in all regions, but are replaced with files jelly bean? and addresses of the partitions also be accommodated to those that are in the XML file jelly bean?

i dont really understand what you are asking.
you need to figure out which is the most recent partition table you have put on the phone successfully and flash that first. nothing will work correctly until you do. after you get a successful partition flash, you can flash whatever you want, just DO NOT flash the partition file again from any other version. old builds will work on the newer partition table.

[Q] Will Mr. Parkinsons DroidHD Utility 2.0 work with 9.18.79

I am trying to get my phone back to unroot and stock. I have been looking through everything and have tried using RSD Lite and flashing the latest SBF from SBF Developers but had no success. Had a couple things go wrong - First it said it was downgrading security, then two errors. update tz version failed and preflash validation failed for tz.
Here's my question: I'm wondering if Mr. Parkinsons DroidHD Utility will work but I noticed it is for Fastboot Restore 9.16.6 4.1.2 Stock Jelly Bean and I am on the latest OTA which I believe is 9.18.79 XT926.
I was going to try matts utility but it says not to use with the latest ota.
If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
it doesnt have the latest update on it, so no you cant use it, unless your bootloader is unlocked then you can flash whatever no problem.

Urgent: Can't flash back to stock. update gpt_main version failed

Ok so device is droid ultra. RSD is 6.1.5. The phone is detected and everything. Official cable too. Phone was updated with software update to latest version yesterday and then rooted with rockmymoto. Basically I was playing with NFC libs and have an endless force close so am returning to stock. But when I try to flash XT1080_obake_verizon-user-4.2.2-12.90Q2X-160-OBK_TA-14-4-4-release-keys_CFC.xml , I get the following on the phone screen:
Downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
Is this saying I did not download the correct firmware version? Can someone link me to the LATEST if so? The link I went to had 3 different files so I downloaded this one. This is the link I used http://sbf.droid-developers.org/obake/list.php thank you guys!
Can't go back work the old fxz files. Security conflict so you can't downgrade. Were all waiting on the new fxz files. Check the general section
Sent from my XT1080 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
That's what I was thinking. Thank you.
the same questions were just below . you guys got to wait for latest fxz files

[Help] XT925 failed to flash partition

Hi!
I have some problem for reflash my XT925.
He's unlocked on the bootloader and was rooted. I installed the last official KK ROM (from xda thread about update on KK). But my clock was stuck on the 1st January of 1970 and no way to modify that.
So I wiped the phone with TWRP and after I try to reflash my moto.
And it doesn't work! If i use the file for updating from 4.1.2 to KK, I have ann error with :
Code:
tz file size
And if I use the Retail FR 4.1.2 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-22
Code:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
If I delete these two files the flash works but the phone doesn't boot :'(
So I think my partition was corrupted and this is why I can't boot.
So how I can repair that. Some people tried to flash the GPT file from partition_signed file but I don't know where is mine ^^
Regards
No need to repartition system.
Flash the Retail FR 4.1.2 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-22 with RSDlite, then look for the OTA update.
If OTA update not available for your ROM, download the Edit.Blur_Version.98.21.22003.XT925.CEE-Retail.en.EU.zip which has the updater script included and flash it through your recovery.

I need to reflash the partition but I was in KK. SO it doesn't want to flash a previous version I think. I need a KK official ROM to re-partition.
how did you install kk over what you had?
At first :
1/ Flash 4.1.2 Upgradable from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/dro...tutorial-make-motorola-razr-hd-xt925-t2916465
2/Upgrade via OTA to KK
3/Bug appeared with the clock and the date (unable to change the date or the clock (i'm not alone https://forums.motorola.com/posts/2b9452ac6b?page=1) )
4/Decided to wipe all for a clean flash
5/Trying to flash with the Retail FR 4.1.2 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-22
5/Flash Failed if I keep partition_signed (security downgrade)or tz file(wrong file size)
6/Flash Pass if I delete this lines in the xml but the phone won't start (bootloop)
Is it clear ?
much better Btrax, i can see clearly now
i just had that clock isht stuck in 1970 yesterday man, i did troubleshoot it for an hour or so, but I couldn't get it to adjust itself. In addition, i was doing more stuff even opening the xt 925 physically .
So after all the things i tried, i disconnected the battery to make sure i dont short circuit anything, then tightened up cables .
Rebooted the thing, and it fired right up.
I don't know how comfortable you are with getting into the xt 925, however with guidance, you don't even need to disconnect the screen cables or nothing.
You have two screws in the bottom, then you can just pry it open , and sideloading some plastic tool to disconnect battery and back.
I wish i had a softer solution but , it is what it is man. I ll be glad to help if you go that route.
ps. put link to this post in the link you shared
Since you are in France, there is a new recent OTA KK official update : 180.46.117.XT925.CEE-Retail.en.EU.
If I were you I would go back to Step 1 and 2 and then try to grab this new update.
Seems like it corrects Free Carrier EAP SIM and other Google security issues. Hope it will correct your problem too?
