You can't downgrade to 959 by flashing in fastboot, that will never work. You're going to need to reflash 890 and stay there unless an sbf comes out.
I recommend:
moto-fastboot -w
then hold vol up and down, then hit power. Select AP Fastboot in the menu that comes up. Then start RSDlite (at least 5.4.4) and using the ~.xml.zip 890 that came out a few days ago.

ohh ok..but since the update that will be pushed out is 890 ill be ok with future updates right?

yep, this was the same errors that i got when i tried to downgrade. you need to flash 890 xml

Yes, 890 is the future/present "stock".
Verizon/Moto have nearly got this locked firmware/secure network thing down to a science. I have never seen a device that absolutely had to have a NAND flash just to downgrade. Crazy.

Yeah. But let's look at the bright side, at least we can learn from this stuff and STILL show them we are better.
I wonder who is the genius that came up with the idea of a locked bootloader on an open source phone

Who would lock an open-source phone?
The telcos. They think the make more money that way.

Thanks everyone..it looks like it was the partition size thing that was why i could not flash all is working now...
thanks for your help!

[Help needed] Semi-bricked Milestone

Hi all,
prior to any comment, yes, i know there are already posts on this issue, however looking through them didn't help at all unfortunately.
I have a Moto Milestone, origin is Israel.
somewhere along the way i've updated the bootloader to 90.78 and since then - the phone is stuck in the notorious loop and cannot restart the OS.
Tried already to reflash the phone without luck using RSD Lite (downloaded the SBF through http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone - the 'official' Cellcom IL SBF that was there...)
anyway - i can still access the bootloader which tells me the phone is not fully bricked, however i can't seem to find any proper SBF so it'll reflash itself back to an operative state.
One major problem here - the phone won't get into recovery mode (i've tried all the combinations i know and that have worked before)
i've also read about wiping the cache and user data however - as far as i know, this can only be done by entering the recovery mode, right?
one last resort i've tried - trying to split the SBF and reconstructing it - still no joy.
does anyone here have any advice or solution o this issue? what kind of SBF do i need? how to manually reconstruct the SBF with proper files? etc.
Thanks in advance,
Tomer
Have you tried loooking into fastboot?
Sometimes a phone wont respond to to adb commands and the recovery is corrupted, but you can still flash partitions using fastboot. I "saved" a Moto dext in this fashion once. Cant remember the exact commands, but it was similar to the adb flash commands. I reflashed the recovery partition and then used recovery to flash a ROM in update.zip format. For some reason RSD lite was failing on this phone.
Just something you may want to look into if you are desperate about saving your MS.

Hi Caz666,
well, thought this might actually work, but had no luck.
when i try to flash my phone it does nothing other than showing me 'downloading boot.img' and thats it.
is there anything else to do in order to save my phone? i really like it
I'm also willing to donate through PayPal to anyone who can describe any working method or that can point me to any valid working process...
thanks again.

are you sure your drivers for the phone are installed properly? what RSD lite version are you using? What system? windows 32 or 64 bits?

I'm quite sure they're installed properly as i managed to upgrade my bootloader version using the RSDlite.
my system is 32 bits and the drivers are the ones i installed throught the Motorola website. I've first used RSDlite 4.6 but after reading a bit I understood there are some differences between versions hence upgraded to 4.9.

Try the 90.78ch bootloader from http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone ...
"XT702 variant of the 90.78 bootloader (notes from 90.78 apply here too).
It's reported to work on the A853 too. "

*** [update]
I'm now on 90.78ch and see no difference whatsoever.
I've now started investigating how to re-compile an older SBF file so it'll contain the new RAMDL
(I want to flash the Brazilian version however it contains only 90.74 RAMDL)
I've compiled a new file, however the checksum is incorrect.
How it is possible to recompile this properly?
Already tried the website, the mirror there is no leading to the bootloader itself but to a wiki site.
i've tried searching almost anywhere i know, but this bootloader is non available to download.
if there's another mirror site such as rapidshare or megaupload - i'd be happy to be pointed towards it..

You locked yourself out by upgrading the bootloader to the latest one.
Neither downgrade of bootloader would be possible, nor flashing older firmware SBF's.
Apart from that the milestone uses signature check on certain parts of the firmware. I really doubt that it's possible to tweak/recompile a complete SBF.
Something worth to try, is to flash vulnerable recovery SBF from within bootloader mode using RSDlite.
Here's the link to gitorious: http://gitorious.org/droid/openrecovery/blobs/master/zips/SHOLS/vulnerable_recovery.sbf
If the link does not work for you, there are also some mirrors of this file floating around. Just search!
I guess this should work, because the recovery SBF is using RAMLDR 90.78 (do know about the sign check during flash, but i guess checksum should be O.K.).
With vulnerable recovery properly installed, you might then use OpenRecovery to check your system and restore to some working state.
Good luck!

Thanks Scholbert for the detailed answer.
the link you gave directs to an image the RSDlite cannot flash (=error validating image).
If your interntion was that I'm supposed to flash the vulnerable recovery only, than bad news - It's already 'installed' on my device (and it shows no error whatsoever during this installation..)
Well, thanks again for trying to help, I think I'm officially out of suggestions or options here unless anyone can give further advice...

No, never did (since the upgrade)
If I had access to the recovery i would have at least managed to install OpenRecovery or something and manage to reflash the device

Did you try to fastboot flash only the boot.img? What about recovery? I seem to remember flashing a recovery.img on the dext...but this was last year. I may be wrong but i believe i flashed only a recovery image and then was able to access the recovery (which would allow all sorts of additional goodies).
I find it strange that fastboot reports only downloading. I seem to remember some error messages and timeouts?

Nope.
trying to flash the recovery / boot images only results in the message 'downloading...' and nothing (waited for like 3 hours..)
when I terminate the action by Ctrl+C and then trying again - the message is instantly 'FAILED..' along with specification that the action of sending the command has failed.
I'm literaly out of ideas, don't know what to do..

I am starting to think that there is something wrong with your device (like broken hardware).
In all my experimenting with rsd/fastboot, i did not once get a "hang". I would get checksum/signature errors, size errors, etc...but i always got some type of error code or status.
This is on 3 different Mot devices that run Android.
Sorry

The device was working fine before upgrading the bootloader, so it seems that this is not a hardware issue.

[RADIO] NS4G Radio image

For those of you that flashed a bad radio to your NS4G, there is a fix!
Many thanks go out to Netarchy for relentlessly trying to fix my radio, and Shabbypenguin for supply Netarchy with his phone images both of them did a lot of work just to get my phone operational again Thank you very much!
Attached is the signed zip for you to flash in recovery. now listen very carefully before you complain that this didn't work for you. It did not work for me either, but it just may work for some people to flash in recovery, that is why i'm supplying a signed zip for you. What I had to do to get this to work is to unzip the file. inside there is a file called "radio.pr.img" boot into your bootloader and use the following fastboot command
Code:
fastboot flash radio radio.pr.img
that worked for me and hopefully it will work for anyone else that flashes a bad image.
Once again thank you to Shabbypenguin and Netarchy, and anyone else that may have helped out.

So I installed SuperASOP 8.0 and then tried flashing the zip in recovery and pushing the img file via ADB and still have no radio. So it looks like no we can't use SuperASOP yet.

DO not use fastboot.
To install these leaks put them on your External SD card, and boot into Motorola Recovery. From there select "Install Update from External Storage " or something along those lines.
Remember my warnings... there may not be a chance of going back if you use these.

If you got 4.0.3 we need a copy of your OS before you upgrade. 4.0.3 has vulnerabilities that we need to get root. Sorry I don't know the procedure, but I am sure some dev will be more than willing to tell you.

Just saw this and need to let you know not to do any soft of fastboot or updating without backing up your files. The worry is you flash a retail bootloader and possibly cannot go back if you use these.

yeah, that's why i'm holding out... battery life sucks on the 4.0.3. it barely gets me 8-9 hours with moderate use. i've noticed there are huge drops in the battery level every now and then. i guess i'll just deal with it until we get the root thing sorted out.

Atrix HD Utility 1.00

This is a utility made by mattlgroff. I simply ported it to work with the AT&T Atrix HD. It takes place of RSD Lite, which is good because many people have problems with RSD, you can use it to root your device, and also install OTA Root-Keeper App.
Bell version has not been tested so IF you use this and it is successful let me know. Should not be any problems with it, but would like to know for sure.
Thanks to mattlgroff for the original Utility.
Thanks to the firmware team for the FXZ files.
Thanks to Dan Rosenberg for the root.
Thanks to Voodoo for the OTA Root-Keeper App.
Thanks to ATGAdmin for also porting this lol.
144 AT&T Link.

Bell Version (still untested)

Also you are using this at your own risk, I accept no responsibility for any damage you do to your device while using this Utility.
If you have any problems though, do not hesitate to PM me!
*Please remember to have your phone charged to 80% plus when flashing. Read the directions as you flash.*

****This will NOT work with the bell Atrix HD, you will brick your phone!*****- The Bell Version is made and I just need a tester to verify it works before I release.-

Would you have to have the dev edition or will this work on the retail version?

Which utility? See if you can push it into fastboot and try to reflash, possibly re download to make sure everything flashed correctly!

What phone was this for, and was it the latest update?
That error tells me one thing: The fastboot files in that utility were not meant for your phone's carrier / or system version.
AT&T Atrix HD. Trying to use this utility.
When you use RSD, do you flash to 115 or 114?

I've tried both and they both error.

Yeah this explains it. You need to run the latest AT&T FXZ for the 144 update. The secure version changes from 115 to 144 and this utility is 115. Hoover is working on a 144 one now...
You can run RSD Lite and 144 from here in the meantime.
