One-Click Fastboot Restore to recover from bootloop or softbrick

Thanks to dhacker29 for the orginal idea and script!
Check out his orginal post for the Droid Bionic here!
Also, thanks to kennethpenn for providing the files you are about to use!
You have to be unlocked to use this!!
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY THING THAT HAPPENS TO YOU OR YOUR PHONE!
I will try to help as much as possible, but that does not allow you to hold me responsible for anything whatsoever.
Step 1. Download this zip file and extract it, putting all the files in a folder.
Step 2. Download the file "One-Click Fastboot Restore.zip" and extract it, putting all the files in the same folder as the one above.
Step 3. Run the .bat file and follow the instructions.
DO NOT FIX PDS PARTITION UNLESS NECESSARY! IT WILL WIPE YOUR MAC ADDRESS FOR WIFI AND BLUETOOTH!
(Found some typos, not serious. Will fix soon)

No comments yet? I take that as a good sign, I haven't screwed up the script!

What does this do? Restore a backup from fastboot
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

I'm also curious what exactly it does. At 140k it isn't replacing very much. Does it just fix files related to booting?

Didnt run it because I'm on linux and my phone is fine, but looking at the batch file, it automates flashing the stock gingerbread rom and restores PDS via fastboot.

when I run it, it gives me AdbWinApi.dll error. any suggestions?

I ran this for ****s and giggles and it returns everything back to stock AT&T 2.3 while giving you options along the way of what exactly you wanna restore to stock? webtop, system,pds, wipe data etc. works perfectly! makes life easier really! Phone booted right up after running no problems! Thanks!

It restores your phone back to stock AT&T android via fastboot automatically. It also gives you the option to *fix* your pds partition.
It's also an alternative to RSD

It restores it back to stock AT&T. I tried this on an international Atrix.

Pardon my ignorance, i'm trying to restore a bricked Atrix 4G for a friend. It gave error Failed to boot SVF 105:1:2 0x1000 after bad upgrade. Is it possible to use this as a solution? How can i find that out? and in any case, i have downloaded all files, what's the correct procedure to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

Well, been trying but haven't been able to do anything with it. I mean I never used it before and seems like it needs to boot into fastboot mode which I haven't been able to do.
Is in any way possible to make the phone boot into that via usb cable with this software? I installed all requiered software including drivers but it never detected the phone in that (bricked) state, not even once. The phone turns a green light when u connect the usb without battery in, thats it.
I haven't found any solution yet, only seen ppl saying to buy a new one. Is this brick really that bad that there's absolutely no solution? And it all seems to be caused by lack of SBK as ive read on the net...
Well if there's any good news I would like to hear them

It's a hard brick. I'm sorry, but it cannot be fixed. You can always try a factory cable, but so far, nothing can be done. I feel your pain

Messed up and need help with brick

I was running 208 ics, and wanted to jump to 217 ics with the new tool for ics only. Ran the tool with the associtated flash file and the update failed. The phone would do nothing but go into stock recovery, so like an idiot I did a factory reset. If there is way to recover the phone please let me know. Thanks.

Just fast boot back and try again.
Make sure you are using the right kernel and have it named correctly, ICSFIX.IMG iirc (though I'd check the instructions)

The program won't connect to the phone anymore. RSD will, but it fails to rewrite the OS

Just got it to connect. I replaced the IMG file with the 213 version, of which I already have the update associted with that IMG file on my SD card. Hopefully it will work.

Looks like a go at this point. Appreciate the help.

Fastboot failure on ATRIX HD

Hello, when y try to perform the point 7 of the following process:
Get RSD Lite 6.14 (recommended version) for Windows only.
Get the stock firmware file, make sure you pick the latest ICS firmware file here (7.7.1Q-144_MB886_MR1-22_SIGNED_CFC.xml.zip) for AT&T.
After successfully downloaded, extract the zip file. And edit the 7.7.1Q-144_MB886_MR1-22_SIGNED_CFC.xml file using notepad, and then remove 2 lines with getvar.step operation=”getvar” var=”max-download-size”
Open RSD Lite, open the XML file that you have edited before.
Turn off your phone, and then enter the Boot Mode Selection Menu by press and hold the following keys together (Volume Up+Volume Down+Power). Using vol down, scroll to AP Fastboot menu, and then vol up to select it.
Connect Atrix HD to PC via USB, your phone will be recognized by RSD Lite as MB886.
Now it’s time to hit the Start button, and please wait for about 10-25 minutes.
Once the flash process done, your device will reboot. Your Motorola Atrix HD (MB886) should restore to stock and unroot now.
I disconnected the cable, and now I receive the following message:
RSDLite: Failed flashing process. 1/23 flash partion \\gpt_main0.bin – Phone returned FAIL.
ATRIX HD: downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT.
Each time that I turn on the equipment, I need to go to Fastboot menu and select normal boot.
Can you help me?
Regards

You made the same error I did. I tried to flash back to ics which it will not allow. From here you can either deal with the having to turn your phone off and volume up, down and power at the same time to booty your phone, or you can run the latest file that has been uploaded by the firmware team to get rid of it. Unfortunately this will put your phone to unrooted jelly bean with no real possibility of root at the moment.
The file name is MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA.xml.zip .
Good luck.

I forgot you need to edit the xml file and remove a couple lines. I don't have the file on this computer or else I would tell you exactly what they are. When you try to flash though it will say it fails on something like getvar just remove the lines that have getvar in it, there should only be two or three lines that need to be removed.

Plz tell me so I can fix my phone I'm on the leak and rooted but there's more to jellybean than the leak

Last I heard, if you're on an att phone, do not flash the JB xml with RSD because of the locked bootloader. There's a thread in General under "Leaked 4.1.1 FXZ" where sometime tried flashing this and bricked his phone beyond repair.

It worked for me five tymes I've wiped it out five tymes and still running perfect so if u want to go back to jb stock all clear
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app

So this will fix the Atrix HD that starts into bootloader everytime? I just got a replacement through Asurion 3 days ago and I messed up and updated to Jelly Bean before I rooted it. Then the nightmare began. Couldn't figure out the AHD Utility that was supposed to fix this also.
It was suggested I call Asurion insurance in a couple weeks and tell them I lost the phone before I could send it back and switch motherboards from the broken LCD phone with Rooted Jelly Bean. But I think they'd be able to track the IMEI and punish me for keeping it.
Please help!!! I'm freaking out and I'm sick of this black blob in the center of my screen. Thankyou in advance.
Can't seem to get this too work either? It requires a password to unzip.

And you have AT&T version of the phone? Locked bootloader? Just wanting to double check because I want stock right now as I'm not taking advantage of root and don't want to brick. Someone tried this and bricked their phone because it was intended for Bell unlocked bootloader phones.

You cannot replace the XML file unless you have a password to unlock the ZIP file to access the XML file.
Where did you download your stock rom file at?

I tried all of em for AT&T and not of them will work. The release for the fix is the one that keeps requesting a password when I try to unzip the file.

Is it possible to downgrade the AT&T Atrix HD back to ICS to root? I can't find any solid facts, some places say yes, some say no, some say look around to see anyone else's issues. I don't know where to look. I can't find solid facts and would like an answer.
ReverseZero seems to be saying no, Winiwini seems to be saying no, I don't know what to do. I have the RSD and ICS .xml, but I don't want to risk a brick or anything.

Need to flash stock Jellybean ... is this possible despite locked bootloader?

Hey guys,
Long story short, I am currently on the JB Leak'sOTA update. Problem: My phone is a little slow and the Root Checker app says my system is running slow, I think my kernel or something is damaged from how I kept root through the OTA. I can't go back to ICS or the JB leak from where I am so my only option for a fresh start would be to flash stock Jellybean. Is this possibly yet? I know the bootloader is locked but are the Fastboot files available? I had already pmed a couple devs about this a while back.
I am getting my HTC One X+ this weekend soI can test any untested Fastboot files that have risk of bricking of Atrix HD. It isn't vital, I would just like to get it back to full speed if it's possible!

I'd use rsd lite and flash the sbf for jb.

I have sort of the same problem. Bought the phone with stock JB installed. Rooted with new exploit yesterday, left my brain in another room, and started uninstalling things left and right in Titanium Backup - of course without making a backup.
Of course now the phone is starting to act up - hardware wise - and I need to get it back to stock before sending it in to Moto. So would the sbf for jb be the solution, and where could it be downloaded? Also - would it delete that nasty "qe 1/1" message in stock recovery - you know, the one ratting out that you've been naughty?
Thanks!

"remember to edit the xml the same way" - I don't understand that part. What file am I to edit, and what am I adding/replacing?

You have a zip file right? If you don't, the FXZs are in zip/rar format.
You need to extract it. It contains the stock data and an xml file.
When flashing using RSD you have to point to the xml file.
Open up the xml using notepad, ctrl+f and search for 'getvar', there'll be two lines containing it, remove those lines and save the file. Continue.
It'll work without issues

Well that didn't work out too well...I was on stock JB. Rooted with new exploit. Installed bootstrap and custom ROM. Wanted to get back to stock, so I uninstalled bootstrap, and flashed MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA.xml.zip.
RSD failed with 'getvar' and 'oem'. I then edited the xml, removed 'getvar' and 'oem', and retried the flash. RSD failed at system.img.
I then booted the phone into fastboot and did the whole thing manually thru fastboot and terminal. This time everything went through okay. I rebooted the phone into stock recovery and erased cache. But now the phone is stuck in bootloop on the red m logo.
What am I missing?

Use RSD again, use 6.1.4
I remember mine failed at least 2 times, I kept retrying and it worked. Mine was stuck at the system.img too, just retried and it went througj

Root ICS, Root JB, Install SS, back to stock ICS, back to stock JB and maybe a ROM index (only joker and batakang for now, I know, but other ROMs are probably comming)

[Q] Need help. Missing files from /preinstall folder. Will donate to you :)

Would anybody mind uploading a zip file of their "/preinstall" system folder from their Droid 4? I'm missing some files from in there. Specifically the video files for the "Guided Tours" stock app. I must have deleted them a while back, and now I can't install the Jelly Bean OTA update.
I went back to stock, removed Safestrap and unrooted the phone to do the update. And when I go to do it, it gives me an error because those files weren't found. They don't seem to be in the Droid 4 Dump, so I guess I'm S.O.L. unless I can get them from somebody.
If I deleted those, I probably deleted something else from in there, so could you please send me the whole directory? I'd be happy to throw you a donation. Ten bones sound fair? Many thanks in advance.

Yeah, I think I did read something about those utilities in another post. I'm kind of iffy about going that route, because I've never used them before, and don't wanna like seriously mess up my phone. Was hoping to avoid it, but I guess it is what it is.

Yes and yes. Just DL the utility and fast boot ICS file. Unzip ICS file and move files to the files directory of utility. Make sure latest drivers are installed and battery is full connect phone run utility select boot into fast boot then option 11. Choosing to save files still won't let u install the update. Let it do its thing.

Went ahead and did it last night, and it worked! After using this to reset my ICS stock ROM, the OTA Jelly Bean Update installed just fine. Thanks a ton. I gotta say, this online community rocks! I love how helpful and supportive everybody is of each other.
One minor note, I had to do this on my roommate's Windows 7 computer to get it to work. I couldn't get it to work on either my laptop or desktop, both of which have Windows 8. The phone drivers wouldn't install. Strange; I downloaded the USB drivers from Motorola, and they appeared to install, but when I plugged my phone into the computer, and went to use the Utility, it kept giving me a "Device not found" error. And also, when I checked in "Device Manager," it showed my phone with an exclaimation point and said that the drivers weren't installed.
When I followed the same process on a Windows 7 computer, the drivers installed as soon as I plugged the phone in. Weird; Motorola's website said that the drivers were for Windows 7 and 8. I tried disabling "Signature Verification" on Windows 8, but that didn't work either. Anybody know if Motorola hasn't released Windows 8 drivers for Droid 4 yet? Just wanna know for future reference. Thanks a bunch.
