how to flash back to stock jb? - Motorola Atrix HD

My phone was rooted on ics and I lost root. Naturally I attempted to flash with rsd while I was still ignorant of Motorolas bizarre protections. Needles to say flashing to ics wouldn't work and now I'm stuck with ap fastboot error screens whenever my phone powers on. I would like to return my phone back to stock jb without the ap fastboot menu appearing. Would rsd with the ota (fxz?) file do these things? Can people know if my device had been rooted during ics? Also where would I attain said fxz files?

Just got my first Motorola with this phone, but think I borked it by messing with the radio bands. How does one flash these .xml or .sbf files to restore to original stock?
failed flashing process..unknown fastboot comand
I'm grabbing this for my friend, he can't get the update because he needs Wi-Fi and the phone won't connect to our University's Wi-Fi network. This won't break OTA for him though will it?
It's just as same as if you have applied OTA.
what is the update process?

so what exactly is the update procedure?
Here's what my phone is showing me.
system version: 77.1.7.MB886.ATT.en.US
android version: 4.0.3
Will this update change anything with the bootloader or anything like that?

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.
is there a way to just mount the system.img.ext4? i've tried ext2explore and i've tried to mount it with Linux Reader. thanks

I installed beats installer and my phone will not reboot. Any Ideas?

Help! Cant update to Jellybean on Atrix HD LTE (AT&T)

While I couldn't wait for ever for the update, I decided to root, I customized a bit and then I find out there is a new update, so I tried to update. Of course, my update failed (status: 7).
I believe that this is due to customization, can someone show me how to restore to stock or how to successfully update?
Thanks in advanced!

Get your phone back to stock state... You deleted apps, restore them. You did make a backup right??
If you didn't do the ota to the jb leak then rsd back to stock ICS. Read the threads.

thanks
Thank you for responding, I tried this rsd lite thing already, im not on the jb leak im on stock 4.0.4 and when i tried to restore it would get to 1/23 and then say that it failed flashing. Now everytime i power on it boots to ap fastboot, i know how to get out of ap by the boot menu but its still kind of bothering me, any alternative to that?

Flashed Germany 4.3 Stuck on Samsung Screen

Hello Guys i flashed the Germany Version of 4.3 lte last night and in doing so i have Temporarily killed my Phone.
I have tried all the Recoveries processes via Kies and Odin and i am having no luck.
I think the reason why it won't flash is because the Germany 4.3 is a Newer Version than the Stock 4.1.2.
When i'm in Odin i get sboot.bin Fail when trying to Flash the Latest Stock rom. I am able to Flash the Germany 4.3 again and that flashes but then the Phone Stays on the Samsung Flash Screen.
Could someone please Help? I have been on with this for Hours now. I think what i need is a 4.3 Version of any rom in Odin .tar format so i can at least get the phone to boot up and then maybe i can get CWM Recovery on there and flash a Stock rom that way.
Thanks in Advance
You have to remove sboot.bin and tz.bin when downgrading. Be careful, downgrading will give you Knox warranty void 0x1!

THE kies frimware intilition doesnt work as you have 4.3 bootloader and knox blocks older boot loader
dont worry when 4.3 becomes available in your area it wont have to downgrade and ultimately this method will work but still things are looking pretty bad dor the intermediatory days.
PS is ther anyway to restore baseband imei without any backup

What if i download the Germany Version again and try flashing. I thought it would of worked? I am now in this situation surely the Country it comes from wouldn't make a difference? Could someone take the Germany 4.3 and make it a Working Version .tar file to flash with Odin3?

Sorry for the late response but when you get stuck on the Samsung boot screen all you have to do is boot into Recovery and do a Factory Reset and Wipe Cache.
Another thing to remember is to flash the modem for your country otherwise you might accidently disable some frequencies and enable other useless ones.

Which 4.3 update did you flash? I used the DBT German one.
Did you flash the right modem too? It worked for me and i was using a i9305T. All i did was flash the latest modem (from the brand of phone i have which is Telstra) and did a wipe data and wipe cache.

[How-To] Unbrick or Flash Back to Stock(NCE) - G900A Only

***The steps below will work on all Bootloader versions except OC4(Android 5.0), Do not use this process if you have taken the OC4 ota update!***
1. Download the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.rar and extract the .tar.
2. Go into Download Mode by pressing and holding the Home, Volume Down, and Power keys on your device until the phone powers on and displays warning screen, then press Volume Up key.
3. Flash the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+).
Note: The most common cause of an Odin flash failure is a bad usb port or cable. Please check before reporting a failure!
Attention! If you have taken the OC4 ota update and need to unbrick after attempting to downgrade try flashing the: G900A_OC4_Stock_Partitions
So why is it that the g900a is the only gs5 that can't downgrade from 5.0? even Verizon can???
I had a different Downgrade to NCE file. Tried this one and my phone is back up and running. Phew!! Thanks so much!!
Is it safe to flash over ND3? I'm not recieving any ota. Will I receive Ota After flashing this?

For some reason. i tried to unbrick my phone from the rooted stock firmware 5.0 and it ended up with the boot loop. Already tried the downgrade to NCE. Now it gets worse because all I can see so far is the logo of ATT and that's it. Anyone could help me out with that???

I'm sure you probably already tried this but if not pull the battery for a few seconds and then try going back into download mode and try the process again.
How did you upgrade to 5.0 (which method) You may have to provide more detail, there are a lot people who have way more knowledge than I do, but I hope this helps
Good luck and give the forums a search

Thanks for the reply! I actually upgraded to 5.0 by the flashfire method since before that I already got the rooted 4.4.4. Just yesterday, when I left my phone for a while and came back, it started to stick with the bootloop, , the only method which could help it out is to plug it into the power source. I tried everything which includes removing battery and wiping factory downgrading, flashing original firmware, reinstalling the OTA 5.0 update through sdcard. None of that worked. If you have any information to help me out,I would be way happy to listen! Thank you !
I've had this same problem. Are you still bootlooping?

Thank you so much for this. Worked perfectly for a downgrade from 4.4.4. You're the best!
Currently installing updates OTA.
Hi muniz, I posted in your KeepRoot for 5.0 thread and then I saw this one. My phone seems to have spontaneously softbricked (system crashes and then it bootloops). Will flashing the stock 5.0 make me lose root?
EDIT: Fixed with a battery pull!

Just to clarify, my S5 is on the OC4 build. Will I be able to downgrade to KK using the above file, or is it ONLY to fix a device that got bricked while trying to downgrade?

[Q] Help me, please, Galaxy S5 stuck in bootloop and odin isn't flashing!

Help me XDA, you're my only hope!
In attempt to flash a custom recovery to my AT&T Galaxy S5 (SM-G900A), odin failed to flash it. After a while, I tried to root my phone after other forums/threads said I needed to. I tried towelroot, didn't work for $#!t. And the point of no return came when another forum said to flash a custom firmware to help TR, so I did. It failed. Then I decided to give up, but it got stuck in a bootloop, well, if you consider attempting to boot, giving up, and rebooting itself into bootloader a bootloop. And that was followed by attempting to flash stock firmware, which odin couldn't do anything. So, I've tried everything:
Kies won't detect my phone, or it will say it's unsupported
Odin must be broken or my phone is f***ed, because almost immediately, odin will say FAIL
Anti-Virus has been disabled this whole time
So if anyone reading this knows what they're doing, please help me out with this.

First off you need to give more info about your phone. What build are you on 5.0, 4.4.4 etc. How did you get on that build. Ota update or custom update. We can't really help you unless we know what your running.

if you can go into download mode then don't worry you can download another official firmware & flash it.
The firmware you tried & failed may be corrupt file so download new one & try.

You can try this. Make sure you are using Odin 3.09. You will need the OC4 stock partitions located at the bottom of the first post. That might work.
I just thought of this, does it matter what cable I use?
(Galaxy S5 USB 3.0 cable or standard micro USB)
Because I just used a regular cable and it worked!

Because your running 5.0 ota. You can't root that version yet plus they only custom recovery that we have on the AT&T S5 is either safestrap or Flashfire which is still in testing faze. You'll need to wait til you can root the ota 5.0 since it has different bootloader.
Ok, thanks, so I can stop messing up my phone.

What firmware were you on originally? Sounds like you we're on 5.0 or above . If so you will have to flash a pure stock rom of the same back to it . And no rooting for any thing above 4.4.4
