I have been hearing a lot that the DROID 4 and the DROID Razr are very simaliar... If thats true then is there a Possibility that the Razr fastboot files cold work on the DROID 4?
The hardware is identical.....
EXCEPT for the keyboard (maybe the screen, too??). If you have a spare Droid 4 laying around, why not?
For even the above casual user this might be a little much. I haven't had much luck with getting my fully functioning Droid 4 to be recognized by RSDLite.
Although, I do want to know from the developer here, HOW CAN I HELP??
I don't want to just take take take, some of us want to give back.
I bricked my spare Droid 4, and everyone should be really careful with SafeStrap, and backup everything (including the webtop).

Droid RAZR fastboot files would probably work on the Droid 4, IF we had unlocked bootloaders. I have tried every combination of DR fastboot files on the D4 and the /system/ partition is never properly signed for the D4.
We need a full Droid 4 update or Droid 4 fastboot files to get back to working order, the Razr won't cut it.
Without trying to sound too stupid here(lol), but could we not make a stock nandroid backup and dump the image in the fastboot file by chance, and change the md5 inside zip?
The problem is not hardware, but rather encryption. Quite simply, we need a properly signed and encrypted software bundle to load on the locked bootloader. If we could sign and encrypt the bundle ourselves, the locked bootloader would not be an issue. The Droid Razr is a different phone with a different encryption key, so we can't use those fastboot files on a D4. We also can't sign our own Nandroid, so we can't load that either.

Is there anything that I can do to help?
I'm really eager to get into Android development, and would be willing to pursue the path in getting these signed drivers.
I don't think this will be a problem for much longer. http://www.droid-life.com/2012/03/20/motorola-razr-gsm-bootloader-bypass-discovered-could-work-on-lte-razr/

The rsd lite cant see my moto x i can only access it thru the fastboot but when i try the rsd way it doesnt see the phone.
Download/find the correct system.img and boot.img for your device, then push/install them via fastboot. You shouldn't need anything else. Recovery, bootloader, and other firmware should be untouched. Only issue is if it's a safestrap device, then I have no clue.

Gokart i have tried that i dont think i am doing it wrong i got the system.img and the boot.img from here but just incase i ride the small yellow bus with a helmet on can you please point me to the direction i need to go AGAIN.
try to
fastboot flash system system.img
The obvious thing is make sure you have fastboot set up correctly... Drivers as well.
Make sure all drivers are installed, trust me redlite works with a soft bricked moto x, I found out today, my phone was bootlooping, nandroids failed soi wiped the sdcard and realized at that point I did the noob thing, well it worked like a charm rsdlite

i would like to thank all you guys for all the advise that was given to help me bring my moto x back to life i finally got it up and running again using the moto x toolkit it seemed like the only thing that would of work in my situation again thank yall so much :victory::victory::victory:
Who unlocks their bootloader but doesn't know what to do when stuff goes bad, like this?
If you read enough to unlock the bootloader, you should have read enough to know what to do here. Coming here frantic without even checking the eleven billion threads already is silly. We have about 12 threads about the new update and similar high number threads about restoring your phone.
Too many repetitive threads for the Moto X on xda. Some people just need to take 5 minutes and look through general or Q&A before they blindly post. Clutter everywhere.
And finally, dude! I do not have any pity for you. I'm on Verizon and cannot unlock my bootloader maybe that's why I just ranted. Nothing personal, just a general consensus of this section as of late...

oh brother i am not mad at you but as a by the way i DID try different ways of trying to load the os back using this site as a guidance before i made this post this post was a last ditch effort before i smash the moto x and use the insurance claim on it i have been a member of this site since 2010 i just didnt create this account
I have greatly enjoyed WhirlEyes' work on the Droid Razr, to multiboot several firmwares on the same device.
Is there any chance of this being ported to the Moto X? Specifically the XT1053?
You'd have better luck working with Tassadar to port MultiRom at this point I'd imagine.

I've PMed Tassadar.
Yeah, he's "out to lunch".
You mean BMM? Unfortunately there no sources available.
Why not ask Hashcode for a SS version for Moto X?
Tapped from my RAZR BLADE
I seem to remember that BMM might stand for Boot Menu Manager, but a search on BMM and Boot Menu Manager comes up with zero threads about such.
Maybe SS means Safe Strap. I've always avoided Safe Strap, but if that's what it takes to get multiboot I'll try it.
PMing Hashcode...
Well, Hashcode suggests I try SS to see if it can work on the Moto X in multiboot. But I have several questions.
I have a Dev phone, so I'm not too worried about most things, but my experience on the Moto X is that you don't have to root it, just fastboot flash recovery twrp.img. Then *POP* you're rooted.
Why can't I do this with SS? The instructions say instead that I first have to be rooted, then download SS.apk and install it. Why can't I just fastboot flash recovery SS.img?
Second, I remember there were alot of particularities about SS, like with some ROMs you had to install them in a particular slot. Still true?
Maybe you should try posting in the correct device forum?
OG RAZR XT912 got 4.4 before S4!
Because I keep hoping that someone with expertise in multiboot will come around. No such in Moto X area.
What are you, the Forum Police?

Question answered: SS does not work on Moto X. Black screen.
And mfastboot doesn't work on Linux either. I don't have Winduhs. Yes I know about
https://drive.google.com/folderview...sharing&tid=0B5uAY0sZrRUib0JMZVJGOURzMkU#list
and
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7632904/Mfastboot-4.4.zip
... but it doesn't work.
Code:
# ./fastboot devices
bash: ./fastboot: No such file or directory
{der}
Now I get a scarred-up logo and "Safestrap Disabled" on boot. Hooray for me.
I'm using SS on my Moto X as we speak.

For me it comes up with the sad robot ("Safestrap disabled") and I hit the Recovery button. The screen goes black for 15 seconds then it comes back to the sad robot. If I don't touch it it boots normally after 10 seconds.
ok i had alot of bs happening in my life latly and just totally lost touch with this whole scene and im now having some tech issues and was hoping you guy would be kind enough to refreshify my memory and give me some updates.
so to my phone is a dev edition, Ultra Maxx but im running the VZW moto x factory images so that is why im posting here.
so whats been happening is my phone has been generally running slow and im getting really inconsistent battery life. what i was planing was to flash just to reflash the moto x firmware. im on straight 4.4 and now i see weve gotten 4.4.2 and 4.4.3 and im wondering what are the pros and cons were from a hack-ability stand point if any since im unlocked? also i use skvalex's call recorder and wondered if anyone is using it successfully on 4.4.2 or 4.4.3.
and im sure this is just me being a retard but i cant find motorolas factory image page? am i stupid or are they dicks and not doing it any more?
thanks in advance for the help and for patients with my reversion to a noob.

Factory SBF images here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
Follow the instructions in the "Return to Stock" thread. I don't know about call recording, so can't advise on that.
I can tell you that if and when you upgrade to 4.4.2 or above, you can never go back to 4.4 - If you attempt to downgrade once on 4.4.2, you WILL brick your phone.
Good Luck
thank you i actually know about this site however im looking for the official motorola files specific to the dev editions,
ok i found it, this is what ive been looking for
https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images
also if you flash the imgs manually as opposed to rds lite and DO Not flash the bootloader you can go back.
so for example im on 4.4 su1 and flash the system.img from su2 i can go back to su1, because attemting to flash the su1 boot.im over the su2.img is what bricks you

The VZW XT1060 rom hosted at SBF Droid Dev.org and requestable as the XT1060 Dev Edition from Moto directly are the same. Verified if you unzip and do a file compare of the IMG and BIN files included. At one point the XML files differed slighty in that the DEV Ed SBF from Moto had an extra reboot in the XML while flashing, and the erase cache and erase userdata statements were included in one but not the other.
In the OP you mention you have a Ultra Maxx running the Moto X rom... so I don't know if the same conditions apply, but on a Real X... if you flash just downgrade just SYSTEM.IMG, you will have issues. For example Settings -> Security will kick you back out of that menu. Other problems might arise too. Also, while in this state of miss matched GPT.BIN and MOTOBOOT.IMG (bootloader) vs ROM version, should you take an OTA update best case it will fail, worst case it will brick.

thats interesting im not sure what would be diff but ive had no issues with mis match but thanks for the info
so i have one ideea
don t know if is wrong or not,so i need ur advice
can i flash the recovery,boot and logo from Droid turbo and then to flash system images from Moto Maxx??
or it wont work because of different models of Droid?
i guess you will brick your phone...
That will definitely not work. They are different devices and firmware is not interchangeable like that. Plus, the Droid Turbo doesn't have root yet so there is no way to flash anything like that anyway.

No.
Please title your headers accordingly, you'd probably get more responses if people knew what your thread was about, rather than "need help!!" which they probably won't click into. Also search would be nice as your questions are basically answered in existing threads

Root is not needed to flash, unlocked bootloader is needed. Which is unavailable according to Motorola.
Source: flashed lollipop on my Moto G without root, but did need to unlock bootloader.
Oh yeah, my mistake. What he said ^
