im on this:
[ROM] 2012-03-13 Android Open KANG Project ICS [ReSyM]
and trying to get back to gingerbread, i tried just using my backup and it wont, says MD5 Mismatch
tried this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1262540
but the dload links dont work.
Here's a download link to a FXZ .902
It worked fine with my RSD Lite.
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/21448-link-to-902-fxz-file/#entry578708
i found that and dloaded, when i open it in rsd the uncompress and start flashing option is unavailable, its not finding my device i guess?
Make sure the drivers are installed.
I had my phone in Fastboot when flashing the fxz.
and you have to click the phone and then start flashing
use this xml or the 902 fxz will wipe your internal sdcard http://db.tt/PqwZC2eT

I used RSD to go from 901 back to stock 893, did manual zerg root, and then flashed the 902 update, and lost root. Anyone have any ideas on how to get it back?
Update: this worked:
What I did was took 893 FZX file, unzip it, and then take the 902update file, unzip it, and copy the cdt.bin file from 902 to the 893 FZX. I then ran that with RSD 5.6, and that brought me back to 893. I then used rota893 from this thread http://rootzwiki.com/topic/13807-roo...3-aka-rota893/
That gave me 4ever root, and then I used stock recovery to run 902update. Everything worked for me.
But be warned that RSD will wipe the internal sdcard. Follow this post to avoid wiping.

go back to .893 root, then go back, and manually put the forever root in
make sure it sticks, then ota
i want to install the ICS leaks but from what im reading, safestrap screws a little with the system, causing issues for the install. Other than root and safestrap, my system is stock .905. I even deleted my safe partition.
Someone was saying that flashing preinstall.img in fastboot will restore the files that ICS needs to install. But the part that was confusing was that people were saying stuff about flashing the FXZ and what not.
my question is: do I need to flash 902 FXZ to get the files I need? Or can I boot into stock recovery, select apply update from SD card and then select preinstall.img? And if the second one, will it wipe my data? or will the .902 preinstall.img file screw up everything because my system needs to be .902?
And if im completely incorrect about all of this....what is correct?
thanks guys.
Hi,
I was running CM 10 official for the longest time and decided to upgrade via the update option and after it completed and installed via mb886 cwm-6.0.4.4-touch-recovery it got stuck at the cyanogenmod boot logo so I reflashed with no change. I have also tried just about every rom for the phone and I can't get past their boot screens. I don't know what happend, but I'm leaving for work soon and I must have my phone.
I'd like to go back to Mexico retail from skeevydude via RSD lite but I'm getting an error about a xml file can someone provide me the correct xml file and tell me how as I never used rsd lite before
Please any help would safe my butt and be very appreciated.
SOLVED!
Phone: Rooted
Bootloader: Unlocked
Have you tried flashing the newest recovery for your device?
Try flashing the latest recovery,attached, and then try flashing a backup, you have a backup right?, or another clean ROM.
The attached zip is the newest PhilzAdvancedTouch. I can not post outside links but I can upload a file from my computer...Lol
ok so I was on a 4.4.4 ROM and decided to go back to stock via the 39a kdz and then root and flash @MicroMod777's extreme v1.1 ROM. I could never get past the bootanimation (lots of different combos omited to make long story shorter..) so I restored my nandroid back the 4.4.4 ROM, I tried to boot into DL mode again to start fresh again and my DL mode was gone, so I did flashed the 26a bootstack and DL mode missing fix, that restored DL mode to what I assumed was functional, in that it booted and into the DL screen. I tried restoring via the 2014 flash tool and the 39a KDZ I had used previously.. It gets to the updating software and errors at 2% every time, I have redownloaded the 39a file, I even flashed an older bootstack, I have tried different kdz files, i have tried a different computer where i know the drivers are "fresh" no matter what the KDZ will fail at 2%.. I have even tried what I assume is the official LG tool and it errors at the same point.
Weird thing is I just flashed the 39 extreme v1.1 rom and 39a bootstack and I have a fully functional phone, I just can't kdz back to stock.. it's really not the end of the world but it bothers me..
I am just posting this here to see if anyone has heard of a similar issue or knows of a fix.
thanks!

I have that same problem!! Could really use help!!
Why not use xdabbebs full revert to stock zips if you cant kdz?
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/development/vs98039a-stock-fw-t3051560
Also, do you get any sort of errors when the kdz is running? Are you using the correct dll per the kdz flashing posts?

I was trying to upgrade safestrap from 3.73 to 3.75 so that I could install CM12. I did not remove 3.73 before installing 3.75, causing major boot problems. I was able to boot into Fastboot, and using the DROID 4 Utility XT894 Jellybean, I flashed the official jellybean firmware. Now my phone will get as far as the Droid Eye logo boot animation, but will not finish the boot. Are there any other utilities or methods that I can try to get the phone back up and running? I have access to another Droid 4, so if there's a way to copy the ROM from it to mine with adb, or some other method, I'd be open to that. Any help would be appreciated.
No idea about that utility. Without Safestrap or a working O/S, ADB is only available from stock recovery (I think), and stock recovery is almost completely useless on this phone.
If you still had access to SS, then you could restore a backup made on another phone, but in stock form the phone has no way to make/restore system backups.
At a guess, the DROID 4 Utility flashes one of the two newest XMLs depending on whether you want to keep data or not. If you chose 2, it could be that the boot process is getting hung up on something you have installed. Since you're using stock, did you try safe mode?
Failing that, or if you already chose a complete wipe in the Droid 4 Utility and got stuck anyway...for each of the several times I've managed to brick my phone, I've always used RSDLite and manually flashed the appropriate XML via Fastboot, have never had any problems.
RSDLite: http://rsdlite.com/rsd-lite-download/
Newest stock JB 4.1.2 XML (VRZ_XT894_9.8.2O-72_VZW-18-8_CFC.xml.zip): via Mega (probably fastest, in Firmwares), Motofirmware or AFH, links courtesy of @sd_shadow's big document of Droid 4 stuff
Note that the above XML will wipe data and internal storage (SD card is unaffected). If you need to keep those, use cdma_maserati_9.8.2O-72_VZW-18-2_1ff.xml.zip instead (also in the Mega Firmwares folder, or get other links from the above document), it should keep everything. Probably. I hope you made a backup before trying to upgrade SS : \
Connect your phone via USB, get into Fastboot
Start up RSDLite
Click the "..." next to the Filename box, select the XML zip
Click "Decompress And Start Flashing"
Give it a while to complete
Hopefully, bootable ROM. Note that RSDLite will probably get "stuck" on the last reboot, waiting for the phone; it's safe to close once the flash is completely complete (e.g. you're at the boot animation)
I'd imagine that the Droid 4 Utility does much the same as RSDLite, just in a somewhat more automated fashion, but it never hurts to try something slightly different.
RSD Lite is more complex than the utility, slightly different methods, if one failed try the other.
Stock recovery is really only good for factory reset and wiping cache, if you haven't already done so, wipe them now.
