Quick question about returning to stock. - Motorola Atrix HD

Hi guys,
I just wanted to confirm with you in how to return stock.
From what I have been reading, to return to stock, the easiest way is to grab the MythTools here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262726
Download the JB stock ¿SBF? here:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/dinara/list.php
And use the tool. That's it? And then re root and re unlock right?

Please just do it the fastboot way...just too many help threads that incluce "I used MythTools". Once you do it manually and you know your PC is set up properly, then start using Myth.

as @skeevydude told, its better to use fastboot... this may be useful to you..
1)download the required firmware from here and recovery
2)extract the zip and place the recovery image and fastboot binaries in the extracted directory and open terminal in this directory.
3)type the following commands in order
Quote:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash devtree device_tree.bin
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot -w
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash recovery cwmrecovery6028-xt925_20130219-epinter.img
fastboot reboot

If you want to get good at it have a folder for development with everything in there and point the command line path to the commands so you don't have to keep tabs on where you are

Another question, there's any way to improve stock without breaking everything else? I know I can freeze apps, block another, etc, but besides that, anything else?
Also, there's any risk by flashing the Mexican version and then turning back to AT&T (in case I don't like it)?

No risks man. I've flashed dozens of times.

Just backup your stuff to the EXT SD card not the internal one , just in case it gets wiped.

there are no risks as @Youngunn2008 told, i too have flashed it innumerous times.. and about improvement, you can always work on it, some common things are system app modifications as you told like freeezing, removing, adding etc and performance modifications like editing build.prop or working on kernel or editing framework_res.apk etc

Thanks for your help, right now I'm with the mexican version and will start to play
The radio thing it's necesary or only if I have issues with 3g/wifi? And I have issues, will help flashing the mexican radio or should I flash the AT&T radio?

Its your wish... I recommended Mexican retail radio because it supports more base bands than att and on the whole, both should work fine... And the radio is VERY VERY IMPORTANT...

Everything mexican now and its more speedy than the ATT version (don't mind LTE)
Thanks!

Stuck rebooting to TWRP after OTA Download?

I thought I prevented my phone from downloading the OTA to 4.4.3 on my Dev Edition Unlocked bootloader running 4.4.2 and TWRP. I obviously did not and now my phone keeps rebooting into TWRP.
Is there a way to stop this and clear it out somehow?

YES, you can fix by flashing stock recovery assuming you haven't heavily modified your system. Flashing the stock recovery will make the phone try to flash the OTA.
You'll need to download the SBF for your phone here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=0
Unzip the file. I'm assuming you already have the fastboot and mfastboot binaries as well as the android SDK.
Place the file "recovery.img" in the same folder as mfastboot & fastboot. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled (or manually boot into bootloader).
Type mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Done.
Good Luck

Don't see why not. Just substitute the filename for philz recovery instead.

I have not used Philz personally...I prefer TWRP, but it looks like (unlike TWRP), that there is a different img for each variant of the Moto X. You will need to be careful to download the correct one.
I got the XT1053 T-Mobile version, rooted, unlocked with titanium backup, TWRP and Xposed. I just got the software update notice and I am currently trying to decide if I want to update or not. Correct me if I am wrong, but from what I have read, if I want to get the OTA, is the best way to flash the SBF and update to 4.4.3 and then configure the phone again? Is there no way to complete the OTA without flashing a stock recovery? Is it worth it? I love this phone, but there are no custom ROM's that are stock based for XT1053 which would be ideal since I don't want to lose all the extra goodies of the stock ROM.

YES, that is the best way to do it. You can -try- disabling xposed, and un-doing any major modifications you have done (like freezing or removing any system apps). You want it to be as close to stock as possible before you try to accept the OTA, which includes flashing back the stock recovery.
SBFing back to stock 4.4.2 FIRST, and accepting the update, THEN flashing TWRP and rooting, then re-configuring everything and installing your apps is MUCH safer and pretty much guarantees that your filesystem will be 100% intact.
If it were ME, I would SBF first -- for whatever that's worth...
Good Luck

Sure. It's just slightly more complicated. You'll need the entire 4.4.2 SBF for your carrier.
Do this: Reboot to bootloader
FIRST, JUST flash gpt.bin and motoboot.img:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
Now you need to REBOOT back into bootloader (to prevent gpt.bin mis-match -- if you don't reboot here, you will get errors). Do this by typing:
mfastboot reboot-bootloader
Now flash the rest of the files:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase customize
fastboot erase clogo
Reboot, and you should be back to stock 4.4.2
And finally the disclaimer: DO NOT TRY TO DOWNGRADE TO ANY VERSION PRIOR TO 4.4.2 .....if you don't want a brick.
It's ok to downgrade 4.4.3 to 4.4.2 because the bootloader version did not change. It is NOT safe to downgrade to anything prior (4.4 or 4.2.2).

[Q] Looking for the SBF files for Moto X ( any firmware +4.4)

Now that I have an unlocked bootloader I was trying to update to the newest stock version. I had modded by /system so I was unable to do an easy OTA update. I was trying to flash a system.img from here for 4.4 since that is what I was running but then fastboot threw me an error. I think it was an issue with the file since I got this error
Anyone know where I can the sbf file for our phone? I need +4.4 since that is what I was running last.
Side Question: When using TWRP to back up what format does the usb drive need to be so I can put back ups on it? FAT32?
Thanks in advance for all help
Are you using motos custom fastboot to flash the system image? The image is too large for regular fastboot, moto fastboot breaks it up into chunks to flash properly

So I was using the fastboot that comes with the sdk. Where can I download motos custom fastboot? Are there any important differences from regular fastboot?
Nitro made a zip that has everything you need including the mfasboot.exe
You will need to flash the system.img with the mfastboot command instead of fastboot.

so how i am supposed to flash this then?
After some experimentation I cleaned up these instructions a little bit and confirmed this method works for me for rooted (.6):
Here's what I did, real easy:
- Download mfastboot v2 from graffixnyc's thread.
- unzip boot, recovery, system imgs that you downloaded from the OP into the mfastboot folder where the mfastboot.exe is located. Open a cmd prompt on that folder.
- Put phone in fastboot, plug it in:
Code:
mfastboot flash boot boot.img
mfastboot flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot flash system system.img
For the new radio, download it from graffixnyc's site, put in mfastboot folder and flash :
Code:
mfastboot flash modem radio.img
After you get a successful boot, put the phone back in fastboot and download CF-Auto-root from graffixnyc's post in "General". Put the CF-Auto-Root.... img (inside the zip in the /image folder) in the mfastboot folder with everything else and flash according to his instrucions :
Code:
mfastboot boot CF-Auto-Root-victara-victaratmo-xt1095.img
That's it. Nothing hard about it. Any questions let me know.
Big thanks to both mrvirginia and graffixnyc for their work on this. And of course Chainfire.
*Note- you have to be upgrading from KK for this to work. If you run into issues already on a version of 5.0 and attempt this method to "fresh install", you will get stuck at boot ani. Downgrade and then try this method again. :good:

Are you using mfastboot v2?
The files in this OP worked great for me on .6, but .11's so widespread I'm not sure why one wouldn't downgrade to KK and accept the OTA? Then use chainfire's root?

Anyone else have issues
I'm on 22.39-6 and I am having issues when the phone. Anyone else have the issue where the home and menu buttons randomly disappear? Or text messages don't appear? The only fix was to reboot the phone. I also have unresponsive issues randomly when the phone is plugged to AC power and charging. Just wondering if I'm the only one with these issues. I'm going to flash the new build, but just wondering.

Don't rely on the toolkits tho, I personally think you need to know and understand the manual flash and Woking with adb/fastboot, I only used it because I spent a good hour trying every other possible fix to flash system (on both windows & Ubuntu).

Are you using RSDlite? If so, you're getting this error (I think) because the PRODUCT_CONFIGURATION.xml file has instructions for other phone models besides the Turbo in it. If I remember correctly, I got around this by deleting the info for everything not labeled QUARK_VERIZON in this file. However, since RSDlite basically just automates fastboot, a better option is to use fastboot to flash this firmware, in my opinion.
If you decide to flash the firmware this way, place all of the files from the full firmware into the directory that you installed fastboot, and enter the following commands after your phone is plugged into your computer in bootloader mode:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img
fastboot flash radio radio.img
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk1
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk2
fastboot flash system system.img_sparsechunk3
<repeat until all sparsechunks are flashed>
fastboot erase ddr
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata (NOTE: this command effectively performs a factory reset, and will erase all of your data)
Then boot, and you will have done everything that RSDlite would have done.
Oh thanks. Good info. Is there a write up on using fastboot anywhere? These forums are pretty poorly maintained and no good stickies anywhere
Edit: Oh, you edited your post. Awesome. Thanks.
The root junky fxz is that for rsd lite when I look at the contents the system image is in several sections and says system.img sparsechunk and has 10 sections. I have never seen this in an fxz. Is this a new way of flashing the system image.

Is it possible for me to relock my bootloader using adb fastboot? I don't want to do it accidentally while messing around with different roms and wiping my way back to stock.
When in fastboot, type "fastboot oem lock" (without the quotations"

Wouldn't that lock the bootloader?
Is it even possible to re-lock?
From what I understand he wants to avoid locking the bootloader...
Edit: nevermind I looked it up... Should have just done that the first time... ("I have seen quite of few people screw up their devices by not knowing what they are doing. So I am making this thread to simply tell people not familiar with fastboot what they should and should not do.
Fastboot oem unlock will unlock your bootloader and do a complete wipe of your device. As far as I know the only way for something to go wrong here is if you're device is low on battery and shuts off during the process. Either plug it in or have a "good" amount of juice left in your battery. To be 100 percent sure plug it in.
Before I get into oem lock IMHO you should only use this command for one thing only. Getting the device ready to send into motorola for the LGT upgrade or a another warranty repair or some sort. When done properly it is completely safe but there is no reason to do to go back to "stock".
Fastboot oem lock. Do not issue this command unless you are absolutely sure you have the correct software on your device. The correct software is what you get from the motodev site for your device. You need the official sofware images for your specific device AND REGION. If it is not released then DO NOT re-lock the device. If you have a OTA installed you will need to flash back to the motodev images first.")

Nope
So is the fastboot flash motoboot bootloader.img just the Motorola "M" splash screen?

No, that is the actual bootloader. The code that manages device startup, takes fastboot commands, and prohibits unsigned images from booting (when locked).
The splash screen is flashed with:
fastboot flash logo logo.bin

So, back to my original question. When flashing back to stock with adb, but wanting to keep my bootloader unlocked, what should I do?

I can only speak from my experience. I was on the KitKat bootloader and used mofo to flash lollipop. I unlocked with sunshine and installed twrp. Then I flashed the lollipop bootloader with the fastboot command . Still unlocked.
