really bricked? emmc bricked?

im new to the Motorola razr hd. I have an XT925 from Claro PR
I downloaded two of claro firmware images and neither want to flash. I know how to use fastboot and rsdlite is not complicated, it seems to be the phones partition or something along those lines.
the phone itself boots up but im greeted to a screen saying "encryption unsuccessful" and gives an option to reset or factory reset the phone. if you hit it it does nothing.
I tried a hard reset on recovery and it seems like it works but it says afterwards that it cant mount cache/recovery/log or something like it. and upon boot it stays the same.
tried flashing through fastboot and mfastboot. bootloader is locked and it cant be unlocked...
what else can be done. errors say FAILED (remote failure)

Is there something to repartition? Like a PIT file

This thread, though it may not seem related, will probably pull you through.

I did read it but their problem was that effectively and unintentionally they were trying to downgrade...
I just get remote failure. Ive had this problem on some galaxys that was solved with a repartition.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk 4

Not the remote failure but the fact that it can't format because it couldn't find the partition....

Is there really nothing for this? No other tools or something?
No gurus here?

Well selling for Parts... Im guessing it could also be a hardware error...
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk 4

Are you on JB 4.1.2 on the Claro PR rom? By OTA or was it preinstalled? Give me those details and I can see if the tutorial that I used to unbrick mine can be used on yours (I too have an RAZR HD from claro and it got bricked about a month ago). Here I'm gonna add the attachment that contains the tutorial and the builds neccessary for the RAZR HD on claro (4.1.2 jb)
Sent from my XT925 using xda app-developers app

Thanks for that. I downloaded both builds and tried both. Neither say anything about downgrading so I'm guessing it had 4.0.4 but tried the update and it wouldn't write it to phone. It transfers but can't write it. Which makes me think it has a damaged emmc... Ala mytouch 4g...
I have the correct drivers and know how to use rsdlite and fastboot.
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk 4

Sorry for the late answer. Hmmm, if you are on 4.0.4 then the tutorial won't work as it is only made for RAZR HD from Claro PR on 4.1.2 jb. Otherwise it suppose to work without any problem, my RAZR HD was bricked last month and it didn't pass through the AP fastboot menu and said fastboot reason: flash failed. Tried the tutorial above and worked again. You need to ensure you are doing everything correctly, also the part of removing the "getvar" lines from the XML is really important. Hope this solves your problem, otherwise you will have to take it to someone who knows or keep searching. Sorry if im not able to help you more, Im new to android, there is little I know about this OS
Sent from my XT925 using xda app-developers app

I did try it. I removed the getvar line... I tried a couple other things too... But nothing. Thanks though. I returned the phone to its previous owner.

Hello Fellows, I have a similar story

You need to look for your firmware on droid Sbf developers website, download RSD Lite 6.1.4, and flash the firmware through AP fastboot using RSD Lite

Your problem is very strange but something like this happened to me and I fixed it by flashing with RSD 6.1.4 instead of 6.1.5, don't know how but it worked.

Broken
I take the phone to the authorized motorola service. They told me, the memory chip is damaged. The only solution is a new mother board == a new phone.
what I can do with the phone?
Buy a new motherboard (too expensive, or difficult to find another used in my area)
A nice paperweight
Sell for pieces
Throw to someone

XT1541 broken after attempt do factory reset

Dear all,
I own a XT1541 and updated to Marhsmallow via OTA few weeks ago. I encountered some troubles with the performance. I also had the issue that a single app was attempted to be optimized on every boot. Therefore, I decided to reset it to factory settings. However, it seemed that this process failed (waited nearly for an hour to complete but nothing happened).
After rebooting then manually, I am stuck in a fastboot message
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (Secure)
failed to validate boot image
ERROR: failed to pass validation, backup to fastboot
Fastboot Reason: Fall-through from charger boot mode
CID Read Failure
Invalid CID status 0x69
I can access the device via my Linux using fastboot command. What do you propose to recover from my problem.
Thanks

One thing that confuses me is the fact that the tool tells me that I shall turn on the USB debug mode. However, since Android does not boot any longer, I have no chance to do this in the Settings. Is there any way to enable this debug mode in another way?

Root Fail Help?

Hello,
I am unable to root this dang phone! Trying to use RootJunky's "RSD Lite for Mac and Linux" instructions found here: ww.rootjunky.com/tag/linux, and just failing! I've got two phones now stuck in "Please wait, this may take a few minutes" mode.
Computer Specs:
Ubuntu 16.04
Phone Specs:
DROID RAZR HD
182.46.15.XT926.Verizon.en.US
4.4.2
VANQUISH_BP_100731.020.64.21P
KDA20.62-15
Steps:
Downloaded RSD-Lite-Mac_Linux.zip from ttp://rootjunkysdl.com/files/Android%20Programs/RSD-Lite-Mac-Linux.zip
unzip to a folder
Downloaded VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF.xml.zip from AndroidFileHost.com (Motorola-Firmware-Team)
unzip to same folder
Open terminal
cd to folder
run `sudo ./rsd-flash.sh VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF.xml`
At first this would not get past the first file in the .xml. I had an MD5 error. After fiddling with it for hours I discovered that I needed to change all the MD5's in the .xml to lower case! Ok. Did that. Which got me through the flash, but with MANY ERRORS.

Hello rahimali,
Thanks for the response. I've been going through the post you recommended.
The phones I have are:
post-June 2014 (July 29th 2014 to be exact)
.182.46.15
The post recommends I flash 183.46.15 to them, but I have not found a way to do this. I'm on Ubuntu Linux and cannot find a tool to perform the flash. I tried Root Junky's rsd-flash.sh script with the VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF.xml firmware. Even tried editing the .xml to remove the lines recommended in the post you provided:
<step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" />
<step operation="flash" partition="partition" filename="gpt.bin" MD5="....MD5 sum here...." />
<step operation="flash" partition="tz" filename="tz.mbn" MD5="...MD5 sum here...." />
This did not work either. Same errors just after writing 'recovery':

The 182 or 183 is irrelevant. The fact that you have a July 29 kernel means that your bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked unless you use the Sunshine app and pay them the requisite amount of $25.
But since your question related only to rooting your device, you can also find out how to do that from the linked thread.

I think the fact that my phones have 182 IS relevant. The post you pointed to says:
" If device has system version 182.46.15 XT926
Likely will need to flash the 183.46.15 XT926 firmware first, see end of this post for RSD Lite Instructions "
The RSD Lite Instructions in that post are what I've been trying to follow, but with Ubuntu, my only option is the Root Junky script I mentioned before that is not working. Trying RSD Like 6.2.4 on Windows 8.1 Pro in Virtualbox, but its not recognizing my phone.
What a PITA!

Wowsers, i've been working for days on this now... no go.
I have an official Motorola Data Cable plugged into a USB 2.0 port on my computer.
So far i've tried:
* Root Junky's rsd-flash.sh script on Ubuntu 16.04- NO GO due to the errors shown above
* Hydrogen Peroxide method on Windows 8.1 VM- NO GO due to "Your device is not supported" message at the Make it Rain step
* Flashing the stock firmware back to the devices using RSD Lite on Windows 8.1 VM- NO GO because no matter what I try, the phones will not show up in RSD Lite
* KingoRoot tool on Windows 8.1 VM- NO GO because it only supports phones up to Android 4.3
The next thing i'm going to try (which really looks like a PITA) is to use the SparseConverter tool to break up the system.img into manageable chunks in order to flash using Root Junky's script.
I rooted an XT926 way back in 2013 and it was a piece of cake. Android/Google/Motorola really hosed folks when they patched those pre-june 2014 exploits.
I still have that phone. Does anyone know if I can pull "the rootiness" off of it and "clone" it onto these other phones? That would be awesome.
Thanks

aEHHHSHHAHUGGHHH!!! I'm pissed now.
DOes anyone know why this is happening? Why does adb devices show nothing but fastboot devices shows the phone I have connected?
[email protected]:~$ fastboot devices
TA64806I1E fastboot
[email protected]:~$ adb devices

ahahahdhdhh!! I'm pissed now!
I was able to connect to my device using fastboot. I issued the command sudo fastboot flash recovery recovery.img from the stock firmware. The phone seemed to take it just fine. Still in boot loop. "Please wait, this may take a few minutes." then reboots.
Going to try to flash the boot.img next using fastboot to see if this makes any difference. Still unable to flash system.img due to the "chunk size" errors above. Does ANYONE have insights into this issue?

Just use windows operating system instead and use this here to root. Just follow directions in the cmd here is the link for it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3172551&d=1424298564 Also you will need this apk towel root by geo hot here is the link : https://towelroot.com/tr.apk install apk and run it when it tells you to in the cmd during root process. If you try over and over and it wont work then you can use kingo root as temporary root just don't reboot device until you unlock bootloader with the sun app witch you can download the apk from their website here http://theroot.ninja/index.html Note: The sun app cost 25 dollars to use it will ask for card information during unlock process.

How to install RUU

Hello
I would like to return my HTC one mini to factory firmware. After much searching, I found and downloaded this:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=29622
PO58IMG_M4_UL_K44_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_4.14.401.2_Radio_1.28.40e.00.24_10.z19.40.1304L_release_450912_combined_signed.zip
I checked my device version:
$ Fastboot getvar version-main

finished. total time: 0.006s
I tried this:
fastboot oem rebootRUU

The bootloader is relocked.
What could be the problem?
P.S. I cannot open the zip file in Windows. It says it is invalid. Could be corrupt?

Hmm... I think that a Relocked bootloader is the problem. By the way did you try flashing the RUU trough TWRP?

*Hard Brick* Nothing but Bootloader

Hi,
my HTC ONE MINI just reboots into bootloader. Everytime i start it it boots itself into bootloader. As long i tried to flash the Stock Rom, the Stock Recovery and the TWRP Recovery but everytime it end up into an ERROR. I also tried to unlock the bootloader but it dont work it worked as long i tried to flash the unlock_code.bin. It does everything but then nothing happens.
Informations:
What shows up in my bootloader:
Code:
***LOCKED***
M4_UL PVT SHIP S-ON RL
HBOOT-2.22.0000
OS-4.14.401.2
eMMC-boot 1024MB
'The Date(Wrong ;)
the usual stuff (the red fastboot Font, Bootloader, Reboot, Reboot Bootloader, Power Down )
Thats the result when i try to flash the stock ROM.
Code:
C:\Users\#####\Desktop\Flashable>fastboot flash zip PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.2_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_421790_signed.zip
