I'm trying to flash back to stock with RSD and Myth, but neither is working. I've tried both Mex and AT&T versions. Myth completes, tells me everything worked, but it won't boot, it loads boot logo then goes to black screen. RSD says it failed to flash system.img because "Phone returned FAIL."
Last time I flashed manually I lost all my APN's so I'd rather not do that if I don't have to.
What xml doc is in the zip you are trying to flash? I used the one from the general section and got it to work. Its the flash stock roms with rsd thread

I managed to flash back to stock manually without losing APN's. I just had to erase the modemst partitions (is this even necessary?) before flashing the modem partition, but in the XML, erasing those is a few steps after flashing the modem.

If U flash the right files the only thing U need to do is wipe data/cache with adb fastboot.
fastboot -w then fastboot reboot n ur done
thats what it was. i just needed to wipe data/cache. thanks a bunch! i love u guys here at xda!
if you are unfamiliar with fastboot adb, boot into recovery using m+pwr, choose recovery, when you get the exclamation point android error, hit the volume buttons and the menu will come up to wipe data/cache. after that a reboot will fix your loop.
hello, saw your post related to MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA.xml

Use Myth Tools instead. It does the same thing but without all the errors of RSD Lite.

I have an XT1053 with an unlocked bootloader. I've tried factory-data-resetting to solve my issue, but it is absolutely not working. I think there is something messed up with my system partition that isn't allowing my device to recognize the "audio" folder where ringtones and notification sounds are contained. I have tried reverting to stock with this toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/development/tool-moto-x-toolkit-v1-2-1-t2477132
I keep getting errors when trying to do so, and I'm thinking it may have to do with some OTAblockers I may have installed as system apps. Is there a command line method that I can use to manually flash the proper system .img over what I have now so that I can flash over that with the 4.4.2 OTA?
This thread should have all of the info you need to re-flash the stock system img

Okay, I have an Atrix HD that I have rooted and unlocked the bootloader and I have been running the SlimKat ROM with little to no problems and Philz Touch recovery for about a week until yesterday when my phone reset itself and started to boot loop. They only other thing I had flashed was a new logo to get rid of that stupid unlocked bootloader warning. I am fairly savvy when it comes to rooting and flashing roms because I have done this for years with various Samsung devices but the Motorola is a little new to me with having Fastboot.
Let me tell you what I have tried...
I first did a factory data reset in Philz and that did nothing.... then I tried to recover it back to my stock rom that I was running before using a nandroid backup that I had made with Philz Touch and same thing happened, it just sticks in boot loop. I then try to flash the PAC rom after I do a factory data reset and all the wipes I need to flash a new rom in Philz Touch to see if I can get a different rom to load and nothing happens but boot loop again.
Next I go to the forums to find answers and I start to set up my ADB on my computer... After I get ADB setup I first do fastboot -w to do a factory data reset through fastboot, download the stock Mexican rom and tried to flash all the components individually with ADB in fastboot the way skeevydude mentioned in one of his threads (sorry I can't remember which one) and I got a failed error "FAILED (remote failure)" when I tried to flash the system.img.
I then went to Mythtools v1.3 because I thought that I was doing something wrong with the ADB and fastboot... I put the stock Mexico retail rom into the firmware folder in Mythtools and tried to flash the stock firmware through Mythtools. Mythtoold froze when it rebooted the fastboot at 50 of 100%
Now I am at a loss, I have done everything that I know to try to fix this and I have searched everywhere for help and I need help. This is they only phone that I have because I just switched over to to a new carrier and just purchased this phone.
Any help would be appreciated!
UPDATE
I went into Philz Touch and formatted the /system so I could try and flash it again and now the phone boots straight to fastboot and Philz touch if I hold volume+ and power. I am going to download the stock mex retail rom and try and flash it through Philz touch.
UPDATE
I got an Error mounting /data when I tried to format the /data and when I tried to intall the Mexico retail rom I got a "set_perm: some changes failed E:Error in /storage/sdcard1/Atrix HD Mexico Retail 4.1.2.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted."
UPDATE
I formatted /data and /data media in Philz Touch and then it started mounting /data so I wiped and install PAC rom and it booted up just fine.
Hi! Some time ago I installed an official OTA, then I flashed some custom ROM for testing. Now I want to back to the Stock, but while I try to install the firmware with RSD Lite I get an error that some files cannot be downgraded or something. What I am doing wrong? How can I back to stock?
depends on what ROM you are trying to install. from what I have read, downgrading is a no-no (meaning that the bootloader changed).
that being said, have you tried to flash the FW via mfastboot?
did you make a nandroid of stock?
also, if you had Xposed on this custom ROM, sometimes flashing a different ROM without uninstalling Xposed can lead to problems.
Flash the stock rom with fastboot.
Or Try to flash Version 4.4.4 by from this thread.

I have written all the steps with stock firmware also.
The same happened to me when I tried to install the OTA for my XT1058. I had to flash gpt.bin and fsg.mbn from the OTA zip and all the other components from the stock firmware zip file one by one. The only way it worked for me was using the option 5 in this guide by @KidJoe: http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html
So, try to get the OTA zip for your phone, put gpt.bin and fsg.mbn with the files from the stock firmware and flash them one by one, following the steps from the guide to the letter.
After that phone booted normally and I had to download the OTA again because some parts of the update were missing since I had just flashed gpt.bin and fsg.mbn from it.

Thanks for your reply!
I just try to flash official FW via RSD Lite. No I didn't try flashing via mfastboot becouse I dont know is it safe. I have no nandroid and never used Xposed.
