Is there hope? - RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So the usual things has happened.. I have looked many different places, forums, and posts and the closest thing I have found was this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423716
However it didnt help me at all so now I am posting this to see if there is an angel out there that can help me.
He is the problem.
1. It will show this if I plug it in to my PC but I cant turn on the device by its self.
"AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
10.9B(*) (sha-1e9f557, 2013-09-25 16:26:59)
eMMC Info: Size 16GB
Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0
Battery Low
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
Fastboot Reason: Flash Failure"
2. It doesnt charge.. I dont think
3. When I hold the Vol- and PWR for 10 ten then add the Vol+ it sometimes will go to the bootloader and then it will boot.
Can I fix this to not show this message every time?
Thanks for your time

You'll need to get it charged first, before you do anything.

per my post in the thread you quoted,
did you download your firmware version and flash one of the files with fastboot?
any flash normally fixed this error.

I think so. I tried to flash this firmware using RSD Lite v6.16..
VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF.xml
But when i go to fastboot and start to flash that firmware it gives me two errors the first one is on the phone stating.
Also does the fact the my phone in running on 4.4.2 verison 182.46.15 matter at all?
"downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT"
and the second one is RSD starting
"Failed flashing process. 3/21 flash partition "gpt.bin" -> Phone returned FAIL."
Then I simply hold all three of my buttons on the phone and boot normally and it works.. I just need to get rid of that message.
Thanks for helping

edit the xml file in the firmware and completely remove the line containing "gpt".
im assuming you already removed the "getvar" line because it didnt throw an error, if you didnt remove those too.
you can also remove the "erase userdata" line so it wont wipe all your data off.
after editing, save and run rsd again.
fyi, fastboot is not the same as rsd, but rsd should solve the problem just the same.

Before I do this I have been reading that if I got the 182.46.15 update that I got on the 9/9 then im strewed and I can do anything.. should I still try what you said? Ha im a noob and kinda scared so I dont want to mess things up!

im about to go to bed, but we need to backup a bit.
did i miss where you said you have a xt907?
i just noticed thats the firmware you are trying to flash, but this is a xt925/926 forum.
i can still help you, either way, but you should try to post in the correct forum in the future to avoid confusion and flashing something wrong.
if your phone is locked, you will need the most recent firmware. then you can make the adjustments i suggested and it will work fine.
worst that would have happened by flashing the correct, but older version, is soft brick. annoying but totally fixable.
flashing the wrong phones software is generally not fixable though.

Again I want to thank you for your help because its really.. helpful? Ha.
Anyway things are making sense now. I know I have the xt926 and its running 182.46.15 and its 4.4.2. So instead of flashing the wrong phone I flashed this firmware
VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF.xml
which it the firmware for 182.46.10. I then did what you told me to do earlier on getting rid of the line containing "gpt" and the line "getvar". Now im getting new errors starting.
On RSD:
"6/19 flash tz "tz.mbn"
On PHONE:
"downgraded security version
update tz version failed
preflash validation failed for tz"
So yea... New problems.
Thanks Avethepizzaman

That's a lower version. Unless you unlocked your bootloader, which it appears you haven't, you cannot downgrade from 182.46.15. If you didn't unlock your bootloader (which I'm assuming because in your first post, you showed that the status said "locked" in fastboot mode), then you have no way to root, unlock the bootloader nor downgrade. You can only reflash the latest which is 182.46.15.

ok, i was tired and forgot about the "tz".
to avoid any further confusion, download the firmware from here and replace the xml file with this one. i already edited it. then flash again.
now that we have all the facts straight, and files in line, it should go fine this time.

Wow! thank you for making it super easy for me! Alrightly so everything flashed perfectly and it passed this time! I understand that since the new update 182.46.15 with a locked bootloader that I cannot root or unlock the bootloader. However every time I boot my phone up, it still keeps giving my warnings in the bootloader. After doing the flash I have a new bootloader failure that gives the error of.
"Fastboot Reason: Sticky bit flash_failure."
So I guess my new goal is to get rid of these bootloader errors.. Is this even possible? Thanks Again!

Is it possible to restore bloatware apps?

Hello all.
I rooted my Razr HD after the most recent update (prior to KitKat), so I'm rooted but not unlocked. In my ultimate wisdom, I completely removed (did not merely freeze) some bloatware apps, and only today am learning they are necessary to receive OTA updates.
A factory reset did not restore the apps.
Is it possible to get these bloatware apps back onto my device, or am I pretty much screwed?
If there is a way to restore them, am I screwed anyway due to having previously rooted my device and not having a way to flash a ROM?
My apologies if these questions are dumb; I've been looking for information regarding this for a couple hours and have come up empty so far.
Depending on what version you are currently on, you will need to get the correct FXZ image to fastboot onto your device to return it to stock.
Go here to fix you right up:

Thanks a lot for the advice and the links. The process seems to work ok up until it tries to flash system.img.ext4, at which point it returns the message "Phone returned FAIL.; phone connected". If I remove that one line from the XML file, everything else goes through with no issues, so that seems to be the last thing holding me back.
When I attempt to boot the phone, I receive the following:
No valid PIV block in SP for system
piv validation failed (system)
Fastboot Reason: Boot Failure

I will double-check some things and try one more thing before I declare myself stuck again.
Well, I'm glad I ran my double-checks because I would have wasted someone else's time otherwise. After updating to a slightly more recent version of RSD Lite, it got all the way through the reflash process.
My phone boots now. The stock apps are back. I'm letting all my apps update before I attempt the KitKat update, but I'm feeling confident about this. iBolski, I can't thank you enough, and I will love you forever.
A little help..
Thanks for posting this! However I'm running into an issue. I downloaded the latest firmware for my XT907 as well as the latest version on RSD Lite, but when I go to flash the stock image I get an error message that says "unknown fastboot command [getvar]. Any ideas??
Worked for me
Thank you iBolski. The process failed the first time I ran RSD Lite, but it worked the second time. I did not unplug the phone or take it out of Fast Boot mode before trying it the second time. This is very helpful.

Go back to the following link and get the latest FXZ generator. SamuriHL has been updating it as people have been reporting issues:
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/45349-rsd-script-generator/
He updated it yesterday to handle issues for your phone (XT907) and the XT926s as well. See if that fixes your issue. Otherwise, I'm not sure how else to help you.

I amnot that save on this stuff but want to learn. can anybody help?

There is no problem getting into fast boot. theres no errors other than when i get into apfastboot it says device is locked, status code 0 I was trying to root it off of instructions off of other posts it had android version 4.4.1 . sorry if if cant be more specific but i'm just learning about these things.
c:\fast>mfastboot update VZW_XT926_4.0.4-7.7.1Q-144_VQW_S3-34-25_CFC.xml.
archive does not contain 'android-info.txt'
archive does not contain 'android-product.txt'
error: update package has no android-info.txt or android-product.txtThis is what i get when i try running a update on fast boot.
That is old FW, like when the phone first came out. You really need to stop trying to flash random things and get the latest FW out of the General section and flash that.

[Q] Flashing bootloader locked Cricket Moto G/LTE to retail firmware

I want to flash my Cricket Moto G (xt1045) 4.4.4 to the retail 4.4.4 version for a few reasons. Mainly to get access to tethering and the chance that I will be able to update to Lollipop since my hope of cricket releasing the update is fading.
I've been searching around and cannot find a definite answer to this. Lots of people say it should work but I have yet to find anyone who successfully did so. Some say to flash all files but the bootloader and it should be good while others say being the official Motorola firmware everything will flash without a problem.
Has anyone took the plunge and tried it? I would, but I really don't want to be stuck with my Lumia 520 backup phone if I screw something up. Thanks!

Is that the page? His instructions and ROM download seem to be for a XT1068, not a XT1045. Did you find the ROM files for a 1045 somewhere? I'd like to get access to wifi tethering, too...
Yes, that is the page. I'm assuming the software install would be the same for all models in the Moto G group. The ROM files are located in a thread on here titled "Moto G 4G/LTE Stock Firmware (XT1039/40/42/45)"
Would post a link, but I'm still not allowed.

Thanks for the link. Maybe I will give this a try, I'm buying an android stereo for my car and need wifi tethering to run the GPS.
If you wind up trying it before I do, let us know! This would theoretically only update the ROM, we'd still be stuck with a locked bootloader, right? If we could find a 4.4.2 ROM, then the Sunshine S-off unlock would work, and we'd be set.

No problem. I will report back if I try, you do the same if you beat me to it! Yes, the bootloader would still be locked, but the software should install since it is an official Motorola signed software. I think I recall reading somewhere that flashing to 4.4.2 would not allow unlocking through sunshine though.

macgi , I gave this a try last night and the results were extremely not good. Wasn't able to flash the retail firmware, got a bunch of "prevalidation flash failed" on some items, but not others, and then it wouldn't boot. Tried to reflash the cricket firmware to revert back, and got the same prevalidation error for the boot image and the partition gpt.bat file, and now I can't get past the fastboot screen.

I'm assuming you tried using the link above? Or did you try flashing each individual file and skipping the bootloader file which was talked about in the firmware thread? (I believe it was around pages 20-30 if I recall)
Found it
@JoeSyr, maybe I'm missing something here specific to Moto G LTE, but flashing a firmware image does not require an unlocked Bootloader. I would do it manually, skip most of the steps, and only flash the system.img initially.
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
mfastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
The only way you can get into serious trouble would by flashing the motoboot.img (Bootloader) and phone no longer loads fastboot mode. But even then, is there not a hardbrick mbm-ci recovery option for Moto G 4G

I tried running the ROM Install.bat file the guy put together in the first page you/I linked to, which did attempt to flash the bootloader. It sounds like this person you're quoting is saying the flash should be operational even just flashing those three chunks of the system image file? I think those files wrote okay, but it still didn't boot. Problem might be with this other partition file i mentioned.

no, haven't really gotten a chance to mess with it, yet. I popped my sim card into an old samsung galaxy Blaze I had laying around as a backup, and I've been getting by with that for the time being. I think I've still got to figure out what the next thing I should try is. Might try asking around in some more of the subforums, here.

I tried flashing with some more tools, different firmwares, and different combinations of commands, no luck.
I found a guy in the stock firmware thread that had the exact same problem as me, and has the same cid as my phone, cid 10, which no one else seems to have. They think it might be why the preflash validation failed.
Other users suggested that if a cricket lollipop firmware image is developed at some point in the future, that would be able to flash without error. I reached out to the user to see if he ever resolved it, but didn't get a response.
Anyway, the sense that I got is that my problems were because my cid didn't match. Is yours cid 10 as well? you can check from adb. If it's not, you might be fine attempting it.
It's been a while since I checked, but I believe it is cid 10 as well. Now just hoping cricket releases Lollipop soon.....
The lollipop release for the retail (non carrier) version just came out OTA yesterday, apparently, so hopefully Cricket is not too far behind...Though it will probably take a while to go from an OTA update to a downloadable firmware image.
I contacted Motorola tech support today, they said they would replace the phone for $75 + taxes (flashing firmware via adb fastboot voids the warranty, of course), and told me it wouldn't have the Cricket firmware on it, so worst case, i would be gaining tethering ability, best case, they might send me a variant (xt1039?) that is capable of being rooted and installing a custom ROM in addition to tether. I'll probably take this option if I'm not able to get it working once the lollipop xt1045 firmware file shows up.
That's not a bad deal. Hopefully you can get it working when lollipop comes out though. Thanks for the update!

do you know if the bootloader is unlocked? if not, that may limit what you can flash and boot. are you wiping the data after flashing the firmware?
are you flashing everything in the stock firmware, or just parts?
if unlocked and didnt wipe, try fastboot -w
if locked, flash the newest firmware available, even that may not be good enough if the absolute newest isnt avaiable, then use the wipe command.
finally, i have no experience with your device. im just stating common practice from other motos i have owned.
Yeah, thanks for replaying, I did.unlock bootloader bootloader in order to better work with fastboot, but I'm pretty sure such command was included, d wipe one, as I followed several co.vibration of commands I found here at xda, thanks again for attention and time, what u mean is hard reseting by fastboot seen I can't by d phone in fastboot mode right?
What do u think? When ever u have d time 4 sure, maybe u recommend me to an expert, do you know one?

Yeah, thanks for replaying, I did.unlock bootloader bootloader in order to better work with fastboot, but I'm pretty sure such command was included, d wipe one, as I followed several co.vibration of commands I found here at xda, thanks again for attention and time, what u mean is hard reseting by fastboot seen I can't by d phone in fastboot mode right?

right
if you flash ALL the partitions in the stock file, and wipe (-w) with an unlocked bootloader, its extremely rare to not boot.
I have been trying this smartphones home fixing and motog is always been ok, it's just weird this, could u recommend me to an expert,and thanks so much

im actually quite knowledgeable with moto, just not your specifically.
there really is no special fix. if you flash all stock partitions, and all pass/install properly, there isnt much else you can do to fix it.
Ok my friend and allow me to call u that, I will review everything I have done, and I will freak u out with details ,logs screen shots, all of the d stuff, isn't it this d way u guys learn? So we both will get better, how about that, maybe tomorrow I will get u whole procedure, maybe u can send me the whole.commands list, a really complete one, another thing. What about kernel and cwm?

yea, that would be good, copy all the text from the fastboot terminal so i can see it.
kernel is flashed as part of the stock firmware. cwm is a custom recovery and thats not something we need to think about until its fixed.
Man, even if we can't fix this at the end, I'M LIKE SO GRATEFUL FOR UR TIME, WE WILL IMPROVE together, won't let u down
Hey, @Pomar91, what our friendly fellow is telling you about was the wiping part. Did you do that? That might be the problem - the cause for your bootloop.

Well I.guess so, is this the procedure that equals hard reset in mobile but by fastboot in the case? Like a command fastboot wipe data, is that what u guys mean? I'm.with my daughter and she can't sleep, but I will.make a whole report tomorrow and let see what u think. Thanks for ur time, could u please send my this command exactly, and field my doubts about what this is, is it the same as hard reset but using fastboot?

Thanks I will check it out, he did talk.about it, I thought it was a short form, let say the lad version I did flash was kit Kat, successfully flashed, so now I just go and try this command on fast boot, like there should be no need for reflashing, right, just this last command, I'm I right?

On the example of an entire firmware flash on moto G (which is my preferred way to do it manually, one by one command) you can see the lines including "erase" what my point was:
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system xxxfilename
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot reboot

hmm, will these new motos actually re-write the partition table using fastboot? the older ones wouldnt. you had to use mfastboot.

Possibly some of the partitions had to be enlarged after KitKat. Numerous devices have been doing that step due to ever growing Android OS
I think it was the procedure for the 1st gen Moto G
Do you own it? I have just flashed it on some occasions for friends and family who own it.

Ok people, i didnt do the whole procedure again, as im sure i have done it properly. The erasing two last steps have been done two. I also used an auto restore script that contains all of the commands, and I have tried before successfully. For sure it includes erase data and cache, now I have found some problems, like preflash validation failed, and preflash validation for tz failed too, the rest just seems ok. So the problem with appear at Motorola screen while flashing in two pink lines I have captured for you. But I do have some other details. After unlock B logo, and Motorola logo, the one in blue, the phone does that part with the world, like that one that turns into many thins with the airplane, and the earth turning around, after it will just go to the black screen, were it will just remain. One of you said something about using Mfasboot and not fastboot it self, I don’t even know the diference, thanks, im sending shots about it. As I don’t know if this auto script I talked about actually works, im gonna retry manually to send u the shots, im using mfastboot this time I guess, I used the v2 zip on the rom file. So as u see I did not finish as the error appears the same preflash validation and for tz, as the same screen showed in the cellphone. That is it.
Another thing, im using 4.4.4 retail, I guess this is stock rom, maybe its all about that, thanks a lot friends, that s all I got.
dudes i dont know how to make this message reach all of u that are helping, please could u help me with that.
that is it friend

is there any possibility you can post the actual fastboot dialogue right into the post? not a screen shot.

HELP PLEASE! Phone bootlooping. Missing key ro.build info.

Moto G7 Power is missing ro.build.baseband, ro.build.fingerprint and ro.build.version.full all listed as not found when running getvar all command. Have flashed stock firmware multiple times. All flashes okay but neither fixes the bootloop or the missing info. I have been messing with Motorola phone for years now and never seen this before. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Here's a picture of what the screen said the one time it tried to boot and failed.

Locked bootloader is your problem.
Stock firmware can be flashed in a locked bootloader and it shouldn't have had any effect on the OTA. While LMSA won't flash because of missing info fastboot will flash it fine. I just wrote my own batch file to making flashing multiple times easier. All flashes end with okay but does nothing for the missing info.
I also figured out the issue with flashing the boot image. As long as they're not altered in any way the files will flash on locked bootloader.

Couldn't get the link to work from the LG phone I'm using. Once I got the Moto working it went to the link no problem. Only issue now is no IMEI. Flashing NON-LOS and fsg don't help Making an EDL cable to force boot to EDL mode. Fastboot command came back restricted command and did nothing. Maybe flashing from EDL will make a difference.

I didn't know the blank-flash files were carrier specific. How do you find out which carrier they are for? I have for PCOS29.114-134-2 but that number is used for multiple carriers. And when using edl cable is the phone supposed to be off to use it? If you've ever used that method.
Never mind about the phone needing to be off. Just found a video about using the cable that said it needs to be off.
You tell by the model number. For example, mine is XT1955-5 (MetroPCS).
