RSD Lite help

Hi:
Just switching from Nexus 5 to Moto X XT 1097 so I´m a little unfamiliar with RSD.
The thing is I´ve tried phone detection in RSD Lite in both windows 8.1 and windows 7 with no luck.
I´ve downloaded drivers, treid different versions of RSD Lite, different ports, different USB cables, done a lot of reading and nothing...so as you can see I´m very frustrated ....
Any help please getting RSD Lite working?
Thanks!

Looking for an answer to this also

You need rsd lite 6.2.4 and moto drivers 6.4.0 . im assumming you have adb all set up on your pc. You will also need mfastboot

No 6.2.4 here...http://rsdlite.com/rsd-lite-download/
Do you have a link & to those drivers, I have the latest installed on Win 8.1
What do i do with mfastboot? I have downloaded it.
I thought you just launched RSD found firmware to flash, plugged in phone, adb mode & flashed?
What is the procedure?
Thanks

Once they are installed you have to put your phone into fastboot mode for rsd to flash. To make sure your pc sees your phone when in fastboot mode and connected to your pc open cp and type fastboot devices your device should come up. If it sees it then run rsd

Many many thanks sir. That all worked a treat.
I still have one problem that started all this, maybe you can help.....
When I try to get in to stock recovery, i get to the andriod guy laid down & press up/down buttons together for 5/10 sec & then press power button....Nothing happens.
I think my stock recovery is screwed, do you have any ideas how to get it back? Flashing etc?
Thanks Again

I sure your recovery is still there. I have problems getting into it most of the time as well. When andy shows on the screen i think its volume up then power. The timing has to be just right but i can never remember exactly.

Could you be more specific? what did you do? you were on stock 4.4.4? then what did you do? you flashed the 5.0.2 from fastboot by your self? or it was an OTA notification for the upgrade? did you root your phone before? did you make any changes to the stock firmware? Is your Moto X's bootloader is unlocked? Remember always be specific when posting about your problem mate it would be helpful for others to solve your problem quickly.

Yep, you need to be a bit more specific of what exactly happened.
Does a qualcomm device appear in your device manager under windows?

Its already been posted everywhere in the Moto X development never ever downgrade your BL. and you are not mentioning the proper information.. Please elaborate properly. And yes download the Motorola drivers... Install them restart your pc and then connect your phone with pc and see if something happens also follow what @dagoban said...

Sorry, I'm having some problems understanding your English. Do you mean you already brought your phone to an authorized Motorola Service Station and they couldn't help you? If you can't get the phone displayed in the device manager as qualcomm device then there is nothing you can do. Make sure you really have all the drivers correctly installed, try another PC etc.

So you have installed 5.02, then tried to downgrade to 4.4.4, and now your phone has a black screen, and device manager on your PC does not list/see the phone?

Plug it into an AC adapter. Leave it connected (and hopefully charging) over night.
Press/hold the power button until the phone vibrates. Then try connecting it to the PC.

Droid Turbo Not Recognized by RSD Lite

When I plug my phone into my computer and run RSD Lite, no phone appears. The operating system of the phone is completely shot, so I need to flash an image of a fresh operating system. I can't do this without being able to use RSD Lite. Motorola Device Manager doesn't seem to be recognizing any available drivers for the device. I really need this phone unbricked. Any answer would be great.

I guess you should leave your phone in bootloader mode.

In order for RSD lite to work, you have to put your device into bootloader mode by holding vol down while you power on. Also, you need to make sure that you have a version of RSD lite that supports it. I've used 6.2.4 successfully.

If that's the case, and your phone is still not recognized, there is either a driver problem or a physical connection problem. Assuming you're on Windows, open the device manager. When you plug in the phone, does a new device appear? If so, your problem is likely driver related. If not, there is a problem with the physical connection, which you can troubleshoot by using a different USB port and/or USB cable.

Okay. So if it's in bootloader mode, and absolutely nothing happens in the windows device manager when you plug in the phone (no connected device sound, no unknown device, no known device, no nothing), and you're positive that that USB cable/ports on your PC are working, then it sounds like the USB port on your phone has stopped working, in which case there isn't much you can do. If there is no obvious physical damage, and the phone was never exposed to water, I would try getting Motorola (not Verizon) to replace it. It's free.

Hmm. Well then it is set up correctly. If you can't get RSDlite to work, you could always flash your images manually, since basically all RSDlite does is automate the Fastboot commands that are necessary to do this.
1. Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot (or get Fastboot set up in the way of your choice).
2. Unzip the contents of the firmware that you're trying to flash to the same directory as Fastboot.exe.
3. Look for the .bat file that came in the firmware zip and edit it. You should see all of the fastboot commands necessary to flash the firmware.
4. Start fastboot and perform those commands (in the order that they appear) while the phone is in bootloader mode and plugged into the computer.

I have tried flashing multiple images with ADB and fastboot, but neither of them work. Sometimes it will flash and it doesn't work, and sometimes the sparsechunks just don't get accepted into the OS. I do not know why this is happening, but I have gotten fastboot to do something to the phone, it just didn't produce any results.

Well...that's bizarre. The only reasons I can think of for a sparsechunk not successfully flashing is that it's not the right image for your model of phone, you're trying to flash an OTA update zip instead of a full firmware zip or you're trying to flash an image that is a lower version than your bootloader's version. I'm not sure what to make of the fact that it sometimes flashes successfully and sometimes does not. However, if flashing all of the images in the full firmware zip does not help you, using RSDlite won't help you either since it does the exact same thing. If I were you, I'd try to get Motorola to replace it. It's really easy to do. You pretty much just fill out a form and they send you a new one. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Thanks, I am already in the process of having Motorola replace the phone as I figured that would be the most logical option. Thanks for all the help! I will leave this thread open as a mystery to the community that hopefully someone will solve and in the process help someone else.

Can't flash TWRP

Hi. I decided to flash my Honor 3c with Cyanogenmod 12.1. My problem is that i need TWRP (now I have CWM) but i can't flash it to my device. I try to do it by SP Flash Tool, but after i connect my turned off device, I get this error:
BROM ERROR : S_BROM_DOWNLOAD_DA_FAIL (0x7D4)
[H/W] Fail to download DA to baseband chip's internal SRAM!
[HINT]: 1. There's an cable communication problem between FlashTool and BootROM. 2. Target might be shutdown unexpectedly or target lost power supply.
[ACTION] 1. Try again. 2. Proceed H/W checking in download cable and target side com port. 3. Monitor if power-drop occured in target side.

Is your phone in bootloader mode? Hold Vol down+power to enter fastboot mode and then connect your phone to PC.
If you are already doing that or the problem still persists and have an unlocked bootloader(which I am sure you have), try to flash twrp manually.

When I do it, my phone just turns on normally.
How can I check if I have unlocked bootloader? I have unlocked it about 1 year ago, but I did full wipe yesterday.

Vol down+power should boot into fastboot. Turn off the phone, hold both until honor logo shows up, let go of power but hold vol down for about 5 sec more.
If still the same, Turn off your phone, connect USB cable to phone, hold Vol down and connect the cable to computer. It should boot into bootloader now.
If it can not boot into bootloader still, the last is to try adb but that is a bit lengthy.
In bootloader mode, it will be written on phone screen in red whether phone is locked, unlocked or relocked.
Wipe does not effect bootloader status so it's still unlocked imo.

At least it should say, phone locked. Saying nothing is a phenomenon i never heard before but I usually go for newer versions. May be that's the case.
Anyways use adb to fire this command
Fastboot OEM device-info
To be sure if its locked or not.
To setup adb, download and install latest Android SDK, run the program and only download platform-tools.
Your phone is international variant and it came with locked bootloader, I am sure sp tools unlocked it coz otherwise CWM could not be flashed.
Right click platform-tools folder and select run command prompt window here and type the above command
If the bootloader is unlocked (it will tell you if it is), copy the twrp image to platform-tools folder and rename it to twrp.img and fire this command
Fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
And try to reboot into recovery after disconnecting from pc and simultaneously holding power+ Vol up.

edit: nevermind, i forghot about something...

You dont have your phone drivers installed. Google Huawei USB drivers and install them or use hisuite to install drivers for your phone.
After driver installation, do the same process again.
My bad. I assumed you would have drivers already installed

Hisuite is the best option. Even if that does not work (there is a chance of that), Google Kouch's universal drivers and install those.
May have to manually install dribers if nothing works.

Boot into recovery mode, no matter on which recovery are you on, and execute this command:
Code:
adb devices
And see the output, if it says something like:
Code:
**some_number** recovery
then it means there is no problem in the detection of your device by PC, if it does not, then check if the micro USB socket in the device is in good condition.
And I must ask: Are you able to do any operations on device via PC after connecting it?

PC will not detect Mi Mix

Mix
7.0 NRD90M
MIUI Version: Miui Global 9.2 | Stable 9.2.1.0 (NAHMIEK)
kernel: 3.18.31 perf-g0bf156d-01070-g4aac0b4a
Phone came unlocked from seller HongKong Goldway on Aliexpress.
I have tried to download the usb drivers for my laptop which is on windows 10 and a PC running windows 7 and did that update driver thing and tried to use the downloaded winusb_inf file. I've also tried going into windows INF folder and right clicking that wdptmp.inf file and trying "install".
The laptop says Unknown USB device ( Device Descriptor Request Failed) and the PC says Unknown Device. Both are under the USB section on Device Manager
I installed ADB Fastboot tools, turned the phone off and held power + vol down to go into "Fastboot" where it loads a white bunny with a green russian hat holding cords behind a green android robot. Fastboot on the computer doesn't detect any devices.
I also tried Mi Suite and nothing detects. I am using the original usb type C cord and I also tried 3 different usb Type C cords.
Any help guys?? (Also I can't find any update app icon anymore...is that new?)
I want to install TWRP and root so i can do that performance tweak for the mix. and load up a custom rom.

Hi thanks for the reply,
Is that the program that has the "RESTESTING" and "INSTALL" button/options? If so. I've tried clicking install and it says its finished. If this is the same program were talking about, it didn't do anything to help detect the phone.

Sounding like you might have a vendor ROM installed, you should follow the guide in the guide's section, follow the guide for installing twrp with vendor ROM. The unlocked bootloader is a sure sign the vendor installed their own ROM.

interesting. I thought my miui version meant that it wasn't a vendor rom? in any case, i still can't install TWRP if i can't get my phone to detect on any pc...

Yea the guide tells you how to install the drivers, miflash has an option to install driver's. From fastboot you bypass the ROM

I've already installed adb fastboot and all that on my pc. Booted my device into fastboot mode. fastboot does NOT detect any devices though. see my issue? i cant do anything from fastboot because nothing is detected.
Also i only have 4 numbers...doesn't that mean its NOT vendor?

No follow the guide for the correct install of driver's, disable driver signature in windows 10.

There are 1000s of people on this forum who have done the same thing you are trying to do. So basically you are trying to get China dev ROM installed through miflash, then your PC will recognize it then you can install the rest after.
Search vendor ROM mi mix, even if it isn't vendor ROM sounds like you are still going to follow the same guide.
Have you tried another PC? Don't see anyone else complaining about not detected

I've already tried this and still nothing comes up on miflash or anything else. i swear im not retarded. I tried it on 2 laptops running win 10 and a pc desktop running win 7. my redmi note 4 global detects on all of them no problem which is making me frustrated here.

i cant install china dev rom if miflash doesn't even detect anything plugged in. literally about to smash my mix. yes i tried to follow that guide and similar ones like it. and yes i disabled signature
installed drivers from miflash, disabled driver sig, put phone into fastboot, plugged it in the pc, clicked REFRESH on miflash. nothing appears.
I'm not crazy.

i have tried 2 and 3, nothing. method 1's steps didnt really make any sense to me so i didnt do that one.
im dumbfounded because im reading posts on XDA and MIUI forums and theres like 30% of mi mix owners that never found a solution to this while the other portion did easily. I have no idea what I could be doing wrong and I'm starting to think it's the phone and not my laptop. I also found out that when i go into fastboot mode on my mix, it only stays in fastboot mode for like 30 seconds and then ejects itself out of fastboot mode (im not sure if this is normal)
Ive also tried to download older official china roms and tried updating them through the mix's updater option. nothing. what in the hell is going on here?!??!?!

Mix
7.0 NRD90M
MIUI Version: Miui Global 9.2 | Stable 9.2.1.0 (NAHMIEK)
kernel: 3.18.31 perf-g0bf156d-01070-g4aac0b4a
Phone came unlocked from seller HongKong Goldway on Aliexpress.
I have tried to download the usb drivers for my laptop which is on windows 10 and a PC running windows 7 and did that update driver thing and tried to use the downloaded winusb_inf file. I've also tried going into windows INF folder and right clicking that wdptmp.inf file and trying "install".
The laptop says Unknown USB device ( Device Descriptor Request Failed) and the PC says Unknown Device. Both are under the USB section on Device Manager
I installed ADB Fastboot tools, turned the phone off and held power + vol down to go into "Fastboot" where it loads a white bunny with a green russian hat holding cords behind a green android robot. Fastboot on the computer doesn't detect any devices.
I also tried Mi Suite and nothing detects. I am using the original usb type C cord and I also tried 3 different usb Type C cords.
Any help guys?? (Also I can't find any update app icon anymore...is that new?)
I want to install TWRP and root so i can do that performance tweak for the mix. and load up a custom rom.

Have you tried updating driver software to USB MTP?

Hey thanks for the reply.
Do you see picture 1 you uploaded, where its device manager and you can see Portable Devices and there you have that One A2001 device that shows up?
I don't have ANYTHING that pops up under portable devices or portable storage.
Mine only has a notification under the USB serial bus controllers. Mine says only this
Now, I know what you mean by trying to install the MTP USB Device, except you can't do that when you have this kind of USB error because it doesn't even detect a device to even update a driver to MTP.
If you read back you'll see that I have tried installing USB drivers before, I've also used the MiFlash tool to install drivers through there. Still nothing. If someone can find a fix I'll paypal them a few bucks for their trouble because I seriously don't know what to do from here. I've searched many forum posts on here, miui forums, reddit and everyone seems to at least have something detect in their Device Manager as a device. OR some people are able to detect their device in ADB boot but mine doesn't and mine also can only stay in fastboot for 30 seconds before it kicks itself out.
I also don't believe I have a vendor rom because it only has 4 numbers despite coming in the mail already with an unlocked bootloadeder.

Can you send me a picture of your device manager window? (It doesnt have to be under portable devices/storage, send me a picture and I will have a look).

Try right clicking on the unknown usb device and if it shows that you can update your driver software so try doing what I sent in my first reply (I hope your phone is connected to your pc in this picture ?)

phone is connected. and ive already tried what you're guide says. except this is what it looks like on mine\
no MTP option at all
when i uncheck compatible hardware box (there is no mtp as far as i looked in the options)
I believe yours gives you the MTP option because your computer picked it up as a device. Whereas mine is having some kind of USB error and doesn't know wtf is plugged in? The thing is, it will detect my Redmi Note 4 Global with no problem... so

Damm.
IDK maybe there is a problem with your charging port.
You can try another thing, If you have another phone with a USB type C port and you have a USB type C to USB type C charging cable, then connect these 2 phone and try transferring files from one phone the to other (Did it with my phone and my friend's Nexus 5X).
