have you considered dual booting into a Linux distro because I think this might be a Mac issue.

I'm running into thissue on linux ,with the latest version of fastboot., do you have any other ideas?
I had this issue before, but I can't remember how I fixed it... Maybe the fastboot.exe wasn't working good. You should try on a Windows computer. Install all the drivers, try with RSD, if it doesn't work, try manually with fastboot. If it doesn't work, maybe try with Myth Tools.
Can you install a custom recovery?
I just had the same issue. Fix was i used Mfastboot.exe instead and it worked
I grabbed motorola fastboot executable from https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/standalone/bootloader/recovery-images zip. I had to request an image and wait a day, then dig into the zip and find the linux fastboot executable. I was stuck in a bootloop and restoring with this method gives me a batwings logo, Spring logo and a working Photon Q!

So I did a major mistake here. I had the liquid rom but it was so glitchy and all that nothin worked. so then i went to my cwm 6.0.2.8 recovery to delete cache and wipe data to flash the new rom but then it turns out the new rom I wanted to flash was incomplete and now my phone is completely blank now. Oh i am unlocked bootloader too. please help me guys! plus i now have a problem that it says (internal sd card) E: cant mount /sdcard/ and also android_secure is gone. I was able to flash a rom within my sdcard but it gets into a bootloop and wont boot up since of the internal sd card error.

I've been in the situation a couple of times all you need to do is fastboot flash back to stock using skeevydudes tutorial under general or use rsd lite
I will surely try that. I cant use rsd since i have mac though.

There is a section for going back to stock jelly bean with links to the different firmwares. I would suggest mexico retail it is the most bug free and has very little bloat. But if you've never read this post by skeevydude I was just read the whole initial post because it is extremely good to know all this information so that way you can fix anything that goes wrong software wise with your phone. If you have a more questions about it just let me know. Also there is a small section on how to regain root after you do this but your unlocked boot loader will not be affected.

For the /data wipe (not necessary for switching ROMs, just /system and factory reset) you need to fastboot to stock. Checked out that link, and I don't believe that is for fastbooting. That's for flashing a stock ROM via CWM, which won't do anything for you. You need to fastboot a real stock ROM (from the android sbf site) to fix this. And I would recommend flashing manually because I haven't used RSD and Myth always gave me problems.

unzip the file, download the snapdragon fastboot file and put it in the same folder as the unzipped Mex retail then run these fastboot commands while the phone is hooked up to the computer and fastboot mode
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash devtree device_tree.bin
fastboot flash system system.img

Don't use the stock\SDK fastboot binary for flashing /
system.
An updated fastboot binary for Lin\Win\Mac can be found here on
the Batakang FTP from our local, neighborhood Mattlgroff.
Linux -- Rename the file to moto-fastboot and add it to a directory
in your $PATH -- Ubuntu\Debian users can just add it to ~/bin
(enabled by default)
Windows -- Rename the file to moto-fastboot and put it somewhere
handy...that's on you to decide.
that is second paragraph in the link and I double checked the link it is active.
when you download it there will be three folders just copy the files from the Mac folder and put them in your Mex retail file then everything should work fine.
let me know how it goes.
PS I keep this file setup on both my Linux and windows so that at anytime I can fix my phone and suggest that everybody who is flashaholic or developer do the same.

Windows -- Rename the file to moto-fastboot and put it somewhere
handy...that's on you to decide.
that is second paragraph in the link and I double checked the link it is active.
when you download it there will be three folders just copy the files from the Mac folder and put them in your Mex retail file then everything should work fine.
let me know how it goes.
PS I keep this file setup on both my Linux and windows so that at anytime I can fix my phone and suggest that everybody who is flashaholic or developer do the same.

are you putting your phone into ap fastboot first
also does mac have any kind sudo, superuser or admin mode that you can try it in.
Yes of course I go to ap fastboot mode first prior to hooking it up to my mac and starting the process. And idk about the sudo or superuser but I'm sure there is administrator stuff for the mac

so do I need to use a windows computer to use RSD or Mythtools? Recovery works by the way but i too am having problems with it. I can still flash roms but they stay in a bootloop no matter what. HELP!!!!!! I apreciate it. THANKS!
I'm having the same issues with installing Roms with Recovery. I've been trying both epinter's and skeevy's and I seem to not be getting good flashes no matter what. I had to use the fastboots back to stock at one point. If i do get one to install its really buggy, lots of FC and other issues which make it unusable. I'm pretty sure I've followed all instructions and I'm not sure if there's just something not quite right with this device or what. I guess I'll just make do with a rooted 4.1.1 stock experience for now.

Get on a PC. Use RSD lite to get yourself back to stock. Look around the forums a little, the answers you seek are probably in here.

Are you all set now?
1) you need to use a PC for this stuff, don't risk trying it on a Mac. A friend of mine hard bricked his Droid Razr because he tried rooting it from a Mac.
2) I'm not sure why you needed to unlock your bootloader to return to stock? If you weren't stock in the first place your boot loader must have already been unlocked? Unlocking the bootloader is a one time deal. Seeing as your bootloader is unlocked, use a custom recovery (if you don't have a custom recovery, flash one with fastboot. it's easy.) to flash a stock based ROM.
Download Virtualbox and install a virtual XP or win7 on your mac, install moto drivers, download myth tools and download a complete firmware for your device from here sbf.droid-developers.org .... restore using myth tools follow instructions and you´re done :good:

Theres some code in the xml file you need to delete because otherwise it wont flash
No need for this in Myth Tools, already flashed mine twice with Mex Retail and AT&T 4.1.1, and I didnt delete anything.
Maybe when you flash with RSD it fails, mine just flashed to stock 4.0.4 AT&T, but when I tried to flash 4.1.1 - 4.1.2 it always failed no matter what I deleted on the XML file.

Hi all,
My RAZR i softbricked almost a year ago. I am determined that I will get my holidays pictures from it... please help me do so!
It gets stuck on the intel page when booting normally, I can access fastboot however I think the phone must be locked. In AP fastboot the options are:
Normal Powerup
Recovery
Factory
BP Tools
Switch Console
Power Off
Recovery will ocassionally take me to the sick looking droid.
When trying through RSD Lite I get stuck at 3/10 "boot_signed", and the phone says "preflash validation failed". I think this may be because the fastboot is locked?
When running through this guide: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390573 unbrick.bat can't find libusb0.dll (possibly a windows 10 issue?).
I can't actually remember what version of Android I was running, however I'm pretty sure it was JB.
If anyone can advise as to what I should try next, or whether I can't recover my pictures at all, then please do get in touch.

First u can try to flash those images manually. The fastboot command then will say a bit more than just that error.
So flash the system and boot image manually.
We can't unlock the bootloader because u will lose all data from the phone.

When I try to flash the boot image through fastboot, I get the following:

Presumably because this is restricted (ie no root)?

Nope, "root" is only a system thingy and is most commonly used in Android when u can access system files while u are on a running system.
In this case the command "boot" is restricted in the bootloader. No way to enable that one for us. U need to use "flash"

Are u using the "fastboot" executable from the Android sdk? I recommend in this case to use the "mFastboot" executable.
The mfastboot executable in the RSD-Lite package should work just fine.
Just make sure u are using the latest JB (4.1.2) rsd-lite package.

Thank you so much for your continued help - I'm afraid I'm no further ahead. I have tried the following:

The phone returns: (...security version downgraded then)
PIV block validation failed
EIV block validation failed for system
Invalid PIV image: system
Fastboot command failed
Does this suggest I am using the wrong image file? CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-29_S7_USASMIJBRTGB.xml
I can't see an alternative for a UK phone on 4.1.2
Maybe I could just fly you to my house and you can fix it for me If there is a tutorial that I should be following that I have missed, then please do let me know.
Many thanks again,
Greg

We can't get around that. The error message indicates that the wrong system or other images are flashed into the device. Sry, I have no clue on how to restore that.
Kitkat?
Could it be that failed OTA updates won't allow downgrades?
I have a xt890 that is bootlooping with the very same errors while trying to fastboot flash 4.1.2 en.GB.
I'm coming to the conclusion that the OTA Update partially succeeded and its no longer accepting JB firmware...
