Whenever i try to do an OTA update, it downloads the new os but fails to install. It installs maybe 25% and then the android falls over with the red triangle. Keep it mind im new to the rooting scene so bare with me haha it just cuts back on and says update failed. WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!:crying:
What have you done to your phone? Typically OTA updates fail because you have modified/deleted/changed something on the phone that the update is trying to patch/update. If you don't know what you changed, it's hard to change it back to stock.
Use RSDlite and the JB fastboot files to flash your phone to stock Jellybean.

download the 4.1.2 version and search for RSDLite.

still trying to figure out what exactly FXZ means and whether its a good way to basically fix your phone regardless of what you may have done to it. Will this allow me to change my borked stock rom and rom slot 1 running aosp to just nullify everything and get stock jellybean back onto my bionic? And if so, what are the instructions to do so, (ive never used RSD)
How do I flash this? Does it matter what firmware my phone is on? I know I'm not on the update path. Pretty much I rooted and loaded a Custom ROM for my bros Bionic. But now I want the new JB for his phone ...

Not sure how you guys do it.. And even though this release doesn't benefit me whatsoever (I just happened to come across this thread).. Thank you for all you and your crew (mysteriously) do.

I'm not sure anyone actually knows what "fxz" means.. Flashable XML Zip... Lol.. Maybe..
But, yes, you can use RSDLite (for Windows only) - make sure you have your moto drivers installed on your computer - extract the zip close to C:\ with no spaces in your path - point RSD to the .xml file in the extracted folder - boot in to fastboot mode (power + vol. down probably, if like my moto) - connect USB and make sure your phone is recognized - and hit go..
Or you can flash those files with moto-fastboot (some with just fastboot).. Make a .bat file or .sh script.. See mine here for an example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36834775&postcount=108 - WARNING NOTE: If you try to use my files for the A2, you MUST first cross check the partitions and file names in my .bat and the .xml from the FXZ package - and edit the .bat as necessary for your device.
Letting RSD run the xml will wipe/flash everything, usually including bootloader - back to stock ota jb - in theory... YOU WILL ALSO LOOSE ROOT! (so, hope you have a root method for JB).. Or it could possibly brick your phone if it's not the correct firmware/region, or if trying to downgrade.. See my batch file that flashes system.img only for borked systems - but, yea, this could all be pointless, or for emergency situations only - until you have a way to re-gain root.
Check out the Atrix 2 forum.. We have a lot of experience with the FXZs..

Yes it will. I did the same thing. I initially failed on Step 5. I had to extract the zip file and modify the XML removing the fb_mode_set and fb_mode_clear lines (See http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/1107-fix-unknown-fastboot-command-oem-phone-connected/).
yep, it worked for me, too. too bad we lost root. I'll keep my fingers crossed for an exploit to be discovered.

My question is this, If I bricked my phone tring to go back to ICS after JB update could I use the 4.1.2 file with RSD light to fix phone to JB? or is this only to flash from ICS to JB if you had some thing wrong with ICS install and JB would not take OTA? Thanks for all the work getting these files up though!
I get "Failed flashing process. 5/24 oem fb_mode_set -> Phone returned FAIL"
Any ideas?

Firmware Team is dedicated to releasing full official FXZ packages from Motorola. This is far from just a ROM. This completely reflashes the device to a pristine factory state.
No Internal Memory
I edited the lines as directed and flashed the update with RSD Lite and the phone works like it is supposed to, but now I can't access the internal memory. I tried to format it like the phone suggested and then it wouldn't recognize any of the memory cards - I think it erased e: drive. So I reflashed it and now I don't get the message to format it, but it won't show up in Windows... my 32GB external SD card shows up, but not the internal memory.
It looks like I don't have permission to access the internal memory. Any suggestions on how to do this with no root?
Thanks.

4.1.2 flash failure after CM 10.1.3
After finally getting my Bionic 4.1.2 rooted I was anxious to install a custom rom. I chose CM 10....
It blackscreened on me. So I decided to RSD back to 4.1.2 and got the "flash failure". I'm completely stuck....unable to flash anything. I need HELP.
I flashed my bionic to get 3g with pageplus. Will this FXZ file return my radio back to the factory 4g LTE state?
Here's the zip of the OTA that was pushed out. It won't install through either CWM or TWRP, so can someone who's more knowledgeable in these matters make it flashable?
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/821854/OTAPkg.zip
And in case it helps, here's the log from CWM from trying to flash it manually:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/821854/recovery.log
And yes, as with any OTA, you run the risk of losing root, etc. But for me, I really don't care. I've even tried pushing the included stock recovery, but it doesn't work like this. You get a phone with an exclamation point over it (I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about) when you try to boot into that recovery. A quick push of TWRP back onto the phone fixed that error, but I still can't flash the update, obviously. Anyone want to take a crack at it?
Thanks to nuclear_eclipse for getting this and the log for us!

That symbol just means that it doesn't know what file to use for the update; this is part of what get's communicated somehow from the OS to the recovery during reboot, but I'm not familiar enough with the way recoveries work to know how to trigger that myself. I would assume this is a similar mechanism to how ROM Manager et al can tell CWM/TWRP what to flash.

That makes total sense. I guess it's not automatically checking the folder that Software Update puts it in. I've got another 22 hours until I can get Software Update to check again. I'll push the stock recovery before I do that, unless someone makes this flashable through TWRP or CWM before then.
In my stock Rom thread there are new files up. They are the ota roms. So if you are running stock, download the odex one ending in 1.08 and flash in recovery, no need to wipe data. Then pull boot.img and fastboot flash it. You now have the ota software. I will post instructions to upgrade the firmware that came with the ota

I rooted my father's O4X HD using the System Backup App method. I then used that app to boot into TWRP. (TWRP isn't permanent). The bootloader is locked. Basically, the phone is stock except it is rooted.
He is running ICS and would like to update to JB. He doesn't care that the device is rooted and he doesn't use the root.
My question is: Can I completely unroot with SuperSu, then update via OTA?
I've done countless hours of research and I cannot get an definite answer. I will be trying to unroot, then applying the OTA update tonight. Are there any risks involved? If I do brick it, how do I reflash the stock ROM?

If I'm wrong then I'm sure someone will correct me, but the JB update isn't avaliable via OTA. It was released to be flashed manually from a PC only.
as far as i know you only can update via lg pc suite to official JB.
or flash it via kdz/dz
but woth lg pc suit you will get 100% the right rom for your country/area.
and if you softbrick it there is a tut in general section how to recover it. but there is a low risk that you brick it. I don't know if the official pc suite needs an unrooted device. just do it via SuperSU should do it.
good luck

actually not. only baseband will be different but i hadn't any connection problems with that i tested. but if the provider of your fathers phone has his own rom there are some preinstalles apps you may find useful.
and if you flash it via pc suite and something goes wrong lg has to reflash the phone for free (warranty, at least as far as i know, im not 100% sure). But unroot it before. just to be sure

If you fully unroot then you should be able to upgrade by OTA to whatever was the latest v10x code (ICS) for his device.
Two useful sites;-
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=abcdefghijklmnopq
Replace 'abcdefghijklmnopq' with the device IMEI to find the latest v20x code that you can get if you want to go down that route.
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15
List of all firmware available, check what the latest v10.x code for the device was and you'll see if there is any reason to unroot and check OTA.

Yep, the Droid Utility is a great tool for this phone.
If you're new to this, maybe a little explanation may be helpful..
the Droid Utility is a collection of scripts or tools you can run one after the other. For your purpose, rooting the Droid4, you only would use option 3 - and if you want to run a custom rom on this tool, also option 4. (Google "How to Safestrap" for more info on that)
1) and 2) are if you want to flash your phone back to stock.
So download the utility, extract it.
Make sure you have the drivers installed (if you can connect to your phone as a mass storage device you should be ok)
Click on the run.bat file, choose option 3 and follow the onscreen instructions.

??? What are you trying to get back to? droid utility can flash any firmware file you want - or use RSD lite to flash stock firmware..
But where are you and what are you trying to accomplish and why?
Sorry, I'm a bit of a noob. I was rooted, took the latest OTA, restored root with voodoo. Now I just want to unroot and wipe it. Current
System 98.72.189.xt894 , Android 4.1.2, no custom Rom.
So I guess if I use option #1(I think) on droid utility, that should do what I need? Or is there something else I need to do as well since I took the recent ota?

No- just choose option #1. The last OTA doesn't make a difference one way or the other...
well, my problem is that the latest update (97.82.189) would fail, so i unrooted with supersu, flashed stock with droid4 utility then installed the update without fail, now i cannot re-root the phone, ive follow all instructions of clearing smartactions cache and data before attempting, phone is in debug and ive tried on both mtp and camera usb modes several times with no luck, script seems to run through as it should but root never takes, im thinking i should have never used supersu to unroot and should have just flashed stock and tried the update, would really suck if i cannot get root back
I flashed an OTA that was modified to work with TWRP, prior to that I unrooted, uninstalled xposed and flashed my current system files. OTA went well and I rerooted but no xposed.
My battery has been pretty bad since the update so I want to do a factory reset. I figure while I am at it I want to go back to stock recovery and not root immediately so I can see if Android pay will actually work.
Thanks
I am an idiot, I assumed that the full firmware wasn't posted yet in file factory but it appears that it has.
I guess I just want confirmation that this is the correct build for the new OTA I took: VICTARA_TMO_XT1095_5.1_LPE23.32-21.6_cid9_CFC.xml.zip

So to get back to stock everything, I can download the file above that Raistlin1 provided, and follow the motorola guide here https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images
I'm on stock rooted rom and stock recovery but better battery stats did something to my system so I can't uninstall busybox, then unroot, and apply a new OTA like I did last time. I think I'm just going to stay unrooted this time around.
Is fastboot included in the download? Is there a better place to download from file factory, I have about 10 hours left...
Thanks
Is there anywhere I can get this from that isn't 70Kbps or $13? Seems odd that Moto doesn't put it up.

I just used the official one from Motorola, it's 23.32-21.3 not 23.32-21.6 but just take the ota after you follow motorola's instructions. All told will take you less than an hour as opposed to half a day downloading the newest one.

I've read in multiple places on this forum that if you're on the latest OTA, installing an older one and then taking the OTA again will brick the phone.

Correct, if you were already on the new one, then downgraded, taking the OTA has a risk of bricking the phone. After a downgrade the safest bet is to flash the full firmware of the same version.

Yep, I couldn't get the newest ota because better battery stats irreversibly modified my system. I flashed the same version that was installed and then got the newest ota. I plan on using Android pay so I'm not going to re-root.
