Thank you for this. Hopefully this will help those who downloaded and installed the OTA and don't want to hard brick.
Sam is this safe for those who haven't unlocked their BL?

To use this you need tenfars CWM so you have to be unlocked.

you may or may not be able to use future OTA... but bottom line is RSD going forward can cause hard bricks so goal is to move toward flashing just through cwm or fastboot
abandon RSD, the only time you should ever RSD is when you UNlock your BL, after that never use it agin unless something requiewres it. if you ever want to go back to 183 or whatever, find the appropiate files here for CWM.

I would like to point out that right now sbf flashing back hard brick proble is only with the OTA people, but im sure more than likely the Release OTA will have a new BL and will cause this same issues all around. So CWM is the alternative moving forward!

is there any way to determine the BL has changed from the leaked build, i mean the partition sizes or something else?
Thanks Sam!

Samcripp,
Awesome idea! I was hoping someone would do this. I don't know why anyone would rsd back to any previous version once we finally have the bootloader unlocked. We can flash anything we want now without worrying about losing the unlock or a hard brick.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks sam, you have been very valuable to our community!

thanks i should have figured that out myself. no sleep in 70 hours spent most of today trying to get gingerbread on the atrix.
Nice job man. I was wondering why we are still bothering with RSD when we have Clockwork. I guess this signals the end of that crap. CW and Fruit Cakes FTW. Down with RSD!

They come from Motorola. However, they are not files that would normally be released to the public, so we have to wait and see if someone is nice enough to leak them for us.
If? Oh my that just sux

I've heard the equivalent experience with the Droid Razr fastboot restore file used around here and other fora as support for the idea that the D4 restore should be leaking soon. What I've never heard was how long it took from release of the phone to a leaked usable restore. I'm deferring taking my bricked Droid 4 back to the store and playing dumb to try to get a warranty exchange in hopes I can just unbrick my phone sometime in the coming days or maybe weeks.

I'll in the same boat. I soft-bricked my D4 earlier this week and I feel like trying to swap it would be wrong. I messed it up, so I should fix it. I just have to play the waiting game.

I did a little google-fu and calendar math and came up with an answer to my earlier question about how long it took for the Droid Razr to have a leaked fastboot file.
That phone was released on 11 November 2011. Its fastboot recovery appeared here on 29 December the same year. That's 48 days.
48 days after the release of the Droid 4 (February 10th) was March 29th. That was 11 days ago.
So, the example of the Droid Razr leaked fastboot is interesting, but not necessarily insightful. It's already taken longer than it did for the Razr.
Sigh.
Here's a scarier thought. The Droid Bionic was released in September, and fastboot files didn't leak until February. Hopefully it won't take much longer! I'm very close to just using my spare upgrade to get a RAZR MAXX, or maybe the Droid Fighter that is supposed to come out soon.
Sent from my Droid using Tapatalk
Not true, we had Bionic fastboot files for the stock release within a couple weeks.
This is actually very unusual that we have not seen them yet for this phone.
Ah, my bad. I should have looked into that further. The article I read about it made it seem like the ones that leaked in February were the first.

I could really use this right about now. Can't seem to figure out why my OTA update is failing and I'd love to be able to revert to stock and then apply it, if only I had the fastboot file =(

Download the update (do a Google search for the link) and put it on your SD card. Boot into recovery and apply the update. It will tell you where it's failing. You'll probably need to get a stock system dump and copy over any files that are missing/altered, making sure to change the permissions and owner if necessary.

Thanks...I would have done this but I don't have an external SD and for some reason the update won't apply if it's from internal storage.
EDIT: Got it working! Turns out my system/build.prop file was the culprit. I replaced it with a stock build.prop file, fixed the permissions, and then the update succeeded.
There is a link in the Eternity Project thread in the Dev section for fastboot files! I just downloaded it, but haven't tried using it yet. Someone with a bricked D4 wanna try these out?

I will, later today. When I checked the link earlier, it was a 404 at the download site, but I have the page bookmarked at The Eternity Project and will give it a swing this evening (US Central time). My D4 is about as bootlooped as it gets, so I think I'm a prime candidate for this.
I really really really hope this works. My D4 has been bricked for weeks.
I was able to download the file so it looks like the link must be fixed. I look forward to hearing if it works for you! My D4 is running fine so I'm a little hesitant to try it out myself.

Me too, though I do believe these things have to be signed or they won't flash, so theoretically there shouldn't be much risk for us
This really has made my day. I remember back when I first got my OG Droid, I somehow managed to screw up EVERYTHING in the first week (CWM and ROM), so being able to bring the phone back to life via RSDLite was awesome.

IIRC, didn't you have a bricked D4? If so, has this brought it back to life?
Here is hoping you are back up and running, one way or another...
Well, I was definitely one of the bricked ones, but as you can tell from my signature, I'm not bricked anymore. The fastboot file worked flawlessly.

Stock Rom for Moto X? I've tried everything else

A guy sold me an ATT Moto X and he neglected to tell me it was rooted. So now I'm stuck with root that I don't really want on this phone. I tried using RSD Lite and the All in One Tool that was posted on here but nothing would work with my computer. So, now im just looking for a stock rom I could flash but I can't seem to find any on here for ATT. Any recomendations to fix this? Lastly, would flashing the 4.4 leak that was posted in the General section work? any help is appreciated.

As long as you are on 4.2.2 you should be able to rsd lite back to the most latest 4.2.2 firmware.
Either way, you can flash the 4.4 leak with fast boot

you probably are doing something wrong with flashing the stock FW. check the threads that talk about it and you should be fine. If you are running mac then there is a thread for that. if not then there is a thread for that as well. post in those threads with questions and you will get answers. i wouldn't take th 4.4 leak because you don't seem like you want to toy with your phone. It's possible that those people that took that leak might have to do a little or perhaps a lot of things to eventually take the real OTA. This has happened with other phones. You don't seem like you want to do that much tweaking so just go to those threads and ask questions there and explain what exactly you are doing and the errors you are getting.

You're story is missing some details. Firstly, it doesn't come with any version past 2.3.4, so you must have done some hacking before that. In either case, the simplest solution to a bricked device is flashing a 2.3.4 sbf using rsd lite. (You could get the latest sbfs from sbf[dot]droid-developers[dot]org. See this article for more information: Thread 1255198
The Droid 3 stock is only 2.3.4, but Milestone 3 has 2.3.6

This entire thread is hilarious. If you would like to know what the best D3 roms are...try them. They have all been released publicly. They are right here in this forum. They are all available to you, so use them.
