I've rooted, and unbricked so many devices, but I'm having problems with this one. I successfully rooted the device, but when I tried to Flash 4.2.2, but it didn't work properly. Right now, I can get into the Android system recovery, but the screen the phone normally boots to says the below.
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (s)
10.9B(*) (sha-1e9f557, 2013-02-14 09:13:08)
eMMC Info: Size 16GB
Device is Locked. Status Code:0
Battary Ok
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
Fastboot Reason: Flash Failure
usb connected
usb disconnected
isb connected
for the below steps, I used the apply updaye from external storage option on Android system recovery.
When I try to flash Blur_Version.6.16.211.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip, it Says Installation aborted after verifying update package. The same thing happens when I try to flash Slim-xt926-4.2.2.build.5.6-UNOFFICIAL-20130521-0436.zip
when I try flashing Blur_Version.6.16.211.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip, it says assert failed: file_getprop("/system/build.prop". "ro.build.fingerprint") == "motorola/XT926_verizon/vanquish:4.1.1/9.8.1Q_39/41:user/release-keys" || file_getprop("/system/build.prop". "ro.build.fingerprint") == "motorola/XT926_verizon/vanquish:4.1.1/9.8.1Q-62_VQW_MR-2/6:user/release-keys"
So I can boot into the Android system rocovery, and boot mode selection menu(10.98)
on the boot mode selection menu, the only option that doesnt make my phone go into AP Fastboot Flash Mode, is the recovery option, and when I go into the recovery option, I get the android with the Exclamation mark, from there is how I get to the android system recovery.
Any ideas on how to fix this? I am assuming it will involve ADB, but I cannot do any ADB commands, because my device is not found when I do ADB remount, or ADB devices
You have to unlock your bootloader and install clockwork mod to install custom roms.

Tried to install clockwork mod via Rom Manager, but it was it wasn't available for the droid hd. I had the phone rooted, and had safestrap installed. and I can't unlock the device on the motorola site anymore, because I can't get my phone to boot properly.
Well that's not how to do any of that. Definitely not safestrap. Pretty sure there's a utility in the development section that will do it all for you. I'd tell you the fastboot ways but it's probably over your head.

I've tried the droid razr utility, and that didn't work for me either. Kept getting errors. I'll see what I can do with this toolkit, and let you know how it goes.

I cannot install CWM it says invalid image size for partition recovery. and it still says the device is locked, after I unlocked it.
Are you sure it says status code unlocked? Are you rooted?
Sent from my PACMAN MATRIX HD MAXX
it says fastboot oem unlock punlock code]
OKAY [.023s]
finished. total time : .026s
*BOOTLOADER UNLOCK*
press any key to continue.
That's what it says after I enter in the unlock code I got from Generating unlock code OEM. I got a really long string of characters for the unlock code, and there are 4 parts seperated by '#' so I tried each part as the code, because I have never done this before, and when I did the whole string, it was a max of 64 characters, so that's why I started trying it by parts seperated by the '#'. and Yes it is rooted, because when I tried to do the root option, it said it was already rooted.
Unlocking your bootloader has nothing to do with entering numbers on your phone. And to check if your unlocked just go to the fastboot screen and see what status code it gives you.

the status code is 0. What option am I supposed to be using? the drivers are up to date, Still can't install recovery, I have root access, didn't touch the install modem (radio).
Does it say device unlocked? Status code 0 is usually locked. 3 Is unlocked.

No, it's still locked, and I don't know how to unlock it from this screen.
You just run the unlock bootloader procedure.

That's what I did. I did option 2, for unlock bootloader, than I get 1. reboot fastboot 2. Generate unlock code OEM 3. login to website to continue with unlocking 4. Unlock using unlock code I did option 2, and got the unlock code, than did option 4, and used the unlock code it generated.

http://www.andromods.com/basic-how-...ootloader-motorola-unlocking-tool-online.html
followed the instructions on that site, and it said "your device does not qualify for bootloader unlocking."
You can't do it online. You have to do it with the 3rd party tool.

SO What did I do wrong? I generated the unlock OEM code, than I selected the Option to Unlock using unlock code. when I did the generate unlock OEM code, it gave me a long numer like the one on that site, but when I use that number as the unlock code, it says it's to long, and it can be at max 64 characters.
Once again there's no numbers involved man. Your trying to do the official unlock. Use the link I just posted.

daemon not running. Starting it now on port 5037
daemon started succesfully
You can't enable usb debugging?

You could try to erase cache using fastboot and see if it can boot. If not try a factory reset.
If factory reset still doesn't work you'll have to unlock your bootloader, flash a custom recovery and resotre a nanadroid backup or flash a stock rom of 5.0.1.

you don't need usb debugging. Usb debugging is only needed to have adb connectivity when the phone is booted in android.
for gpe device you should be able to unlock it using fastboot from the bootloader.
Code:
fastboot oem unlock
If this method doesnt work you'll need to use HTCdev.com to unlock it.
Don't forget that unlocking your bootloader will wipe everything on your phone.

It have nothing to do with usb debugging! Like I said above, the only purpose of usb debugging is to enable adb connectivity when the phone is booted in android.
Even if usb debugging is turned off, you still have the ability to use fastboot commands from the bootloader (like you have tried) and to use adb commands from a custom recovery (which you don't have access to because of your locked bootloader)
With that said, I'm sorry to tell you that what you are seeing after doing "fastboot oem unlock" (PG_ERROR) is typical of the infamous GPE bootloader bug. This bug make impossible to unlock your bootloader from using oem unlock or by using HTCdev.com method. So your phone is bricked sorry.
you are not alone, see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547894

Maybe keep it in a drawer and hope that HTC will release a 5.11.1700.3 or higher version official RUU so you'll be able to flash it with s-on and a locked bootloader.
or maybe you could ask the guys at fonefunshop if they are able to s-off it using their method which doesnt require to boot in the rom.
I don't have access to in phone settings
I don't have root
I don't have boot loader unlocked
I can sideload with Adb !
Please can some one help me get my handeset back working

Did you ever enable developer options and allow USB debugging? If so, and you can connect to ADB on a PC, you can flash stock firmware back onto the phone.
or try this:
As I didn't have USB debugging enabled I couldn't connect to the phone via ADB, but if you put it into recovery mode you can use Fastboot. Hold down the power key to turn the device off and turn it on while holding down Vol Down to load up recovery mode.

However, with locked bootloader there is no room for error in flashing firmware via ADB or you will brick the phone. You have to flash the correct firmware exactly for your phone, with the same level of bootloader you already have or newer. You can't flash Mexico over Brazil or Lollipop over Marshmallow. Has to be exactly what was made for your phone, either what you already had or newer (if it exists).
What OS was installed before?
But WHY is there no ROM installed? What did you do?
The OS installed before was the most recent Stock MM Brazil, i installed the stock rom, it worked, then i wanted to go back to stock recovery, it it worked too, then i wanted to locked my bootloader, i locked, after that i couldn't enter recovery, neither boot to OS.

You wanted to re-lock your bootloader? Unlocked bootloader = God mode.
Did you ever have TWRP? You said you wanted to go back to "stock recovery" (not sure why, it's mostly useless compared to TWRP custom recovery.)
I'm not sure why re-locking the bootloader would wipe the OS...
But you can boot to the bootloader screen using the volume and power button and re-flash the stock firmware, using ADB. Here's the link to the newest Brazil Marshmallow for XT1225:
http://ftpeil.eil.com.br/vip/motoro...S24.107-70.2-7_cid12_subsidy-DEFAULT_CFC.xml/
This guy below got out of a jam because he had an unlocked bootloader, which is very forgiving. Locked bootloader is harder.

Yeah, i don't know what happened either, why the **** did my OS got Wiped?
Can i flash the stock rom with the bootloader locked via ADB? how?

You have to boot to the bootloader screen manually, using the volume + power button trick.
Once on the bootloader screen, when you plug you phone into a PC with ADB installed, it should recognize it.
Then, flash the full stock firmware, from the link above. It's Brazil Marshmallow firmware with December 2016 Security Update. I don't know of any newer right now. You have Brazil XT1225, so that Brazil firmware is compatible with your phone.
But with locked bootloader you have to flash exact same version or newer made for your phone, and you have to enter the commands correctly or you may brick your phone. (When I flashed from Puerto Rico Kitkat to India Lollipop, I messed up. But since my bootloader was unlocked, I just reflashed again, when I realized my mistake.)
If you are not sure of the steps, google Motorola firmware ADB. Here's a couple of excellent tutorials:
How to Manually Official Firmware on any Motorola Device
https://forum.xda-developers.com/dr...force-how-to-manually-flash-official-t3282077
I use this one above. IGNORE where it says you need an unlocked bootloader, because he's talking about cross-region flashing which you are NOT doing. You are flashing your own region firmware.
This one below is by rootjunky and he while he also discusses RSDLite, later in the article he says ADB/fastboot are best as RSDLite can stall.
Motorola Firmware Restore Plus Unbrick
http://www.rootjunky.com/motorola-firmware-restore/
If you get your phone running again, I suggest you unlock the bootloader. There are ways to hide an unlocked bootloader (like Magisk), if that's why you locked it back... But an unlocked bootloader + root makes it YOUR phone and much easier to recover from disasters.
Thanks a lot Chazz, it worked, thanks for the help, really appreciate it, thanks for all the useful tips too.
do I need to unlock the bootloader to upload a newer version of android via odin?
No need to unlock bootloader, to install an updated rom via odin you just need to turn on USB debugging option in developer options on your device, install correct drivers on PC. Can't update via OTA?
