My unlocked boot loader atrix hd is like a blank paper. I downloaded a Rom and flashed it but didn't like it and so I : went to cwm recovery, did the factory reset wipe (cache, data,etc. and dalvik cache deleted it, and went to restore back up but it wasn't there when I thought it was there for sure but turns out it wasn't. So now my phone is like a blank paper and whenever I try to move around in the recovery it says all these E: can't mount /cache/recovery/ log or last_log and much more of these commands. Flashing a Rom can be done but won't boot no matter what Rom.
And I want to restore the fastboot to stock again and followed the instructions from skeevydude post and I would,get on terminal all these failed or permission denied commands.
Plead help me! Whoever helps me and gets my atrix hd will get a $ reward.

First off, if you don't have the snapdragon/Motorola fastboot, you'll need that (just replace the current one). And do you have all the adb/fastboot stuff setup correctly?

Instead of using fastboot in your command use whatever you named the snapdragon fastboot file. Also your battery is low charge your phone for an hour or two.

That's definitely a problem with the snapdragon fastboot, as the original fastboot tries to send the entire file, and the snapdragon fastboot breaks it up into 30275kb or something similar amount. I'm not exactly sure why this is. I'll have to do a little research.
By the way, I'd recommend the Tapatalk app because it lets you multi-quote so you don't have to reply twice with the same message.
Just to be safe, delete your current fastboot binary and re-download it from here (obviously use the Mac version) in case you got a bad download last time and try again.
Another thought (again, not an expert with Mac, it's just similar to Linux if I understand correctly): Just to make things easier on yourself, could you just put the binary into a central folder (on Windows, it's C:\Windows\) that allows you to execute it from anywhere, so you could just pop open a terminal in the SBF's folder and do "fastboot flash system system.img" instead of "fastboot flash system /Users/blah/blah/blah/sbf/system.img"?
EDIT: Yep, if you're unsure how, just do this. You could make a folder in your user directory called something like ".android" (the . to make it hidden) and put all your adb/fastboot stuff in there.

Hi,
I tried to flash JB from one of those http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1936512 (on Windows with the motorola drivers), and since then the i does not go beyond the red M.
I can still access the fastboot, but when doing manually "fastboot flash boot boot.img", the CMD prompt shows/
> sending 'boot'
> okay
> writing 'boot'
> okay
> finished
And on the phone
> Getvar max-download-size
> Downloading ...
> Flashing boot...
and nothing else happens. I tried wiping and all but still nothing...
Does anyone have a clue?
thx
maybe duplicate of this?

I'm expieriencing a similar problem, maybe relatet? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37592790
From the recovery I flashed "81.5.31002.Retail.en.GB" that was on my sd card, but the i doesn't go further than the red M with unlocked on it...
I really don't know what else to try.

Thanks a LOT !
Do you know what was the issue and what I should do to flash JB properly (now that I know how to come back to ICS...)?
AW: Stuck in Fastboot
The File i've linked is the actual 390001 GB Retail. You flashed an old one.
But about your Question.
Make sure you have the actual Moto Drivers installed! Enable USB Debugging in Developersettings and run the flashandroot.bat while you're booted into your System. After it flashed successfully boot into Recovery, flash the Root.zip and Profit. Nothing else will work and many users didn't have any issues (me included)
Just charge your battery before that and give it another go.

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.

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.

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

Ah very nice. Thank you. I got the idea to try RSD, but edit the XML to exclude all the other steps besides flash system.img. If that doesn't work I will try this new fastboot. Wish I had been a little more patient
Looks like flashing via RSD but editing the XML to remove all the other flash lines worked. Thanks!

thats because rsd uses the right fastboot to run its commands fyi. from my experience at least. you really need the motofastboot because for vzw phones and maybe others, there are issues with the sdk fastboot file.

I've tried using both TWRP and CWM, and tried installing both the latest Viper and Bad Boyz roms. Regardless, installation completes successfully (apparently) and the phone reboots. It gets past the loading screen, then to a locked home screen. Upon unlock, all I see is a white screen with the HTC logo.
Sometimes, I'll get a dialog with the following error:

The phone then reboots itself, and the cycle begins again.
I will happily through a beer, coffee, or other beverage of choice (or equivalent) to whomever is able to help me out. Thank you!
You did do a full wipe in recovery correct? I've flashed both of those no problem.

You are in a pickle haha, this is what I would do. If your phone is not in a working state, RUU back to stock, then unlock the boot loader again, flash TWRP recovery, try flashing your Rom of choice. I bet after that process your Rom will boot and run just fine.

Darn. Do you happen to know if there's any way to RUU on a mac? Everything I've seen so far seems to utilize a .exe
I would also re-download your ROM/S you wish to try, it's amazing how easily an error can come from the download itself and not show up until it's flashed

Download this http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407573774
Unzip it, you will find Rom.zip inside the folder.
I'm assuming you have fastboot working on your Mac
Reboot your phone into boot loader, select fastboot, plug into Mac.
Make sure you relock your boot loader.
Move that Rom.zip into the folder that fastboot is found on mac.
Type the following commands
1. fastboot oem rebootRUU
2. fastboot flash zip rom.zip
3. fastboot flash zip rom.zip
4. fastboot reboot
Yes you need to do fastboot flash zip Rom.zip twice, it will fail the first time.
Let it do its thing then reboot. You should have your phone back to stock!

First thing I would do is get a fresh download of the RUU update and try that.
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.

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...
