I thought that those Htc Dev phones were aready hardware unlocked?

Well, I sorta installed the RC27 in order to install cyanogenmod....But this not the point!I have lots of important content that I can't afford to lose!So I'm looking for a way to restore my phone back to normal!

Doesnt google sync your contacts/email/etc, can you get into bootloader or fastboot

Yes ADP's are factory rooted, so downgrading to RC27 was a little pointless.
Anywho your phone's dead. Your "important content" is gone, that's the risk you take when you flash your device.
Move along children, nothing to see here.

Well then, thanks for you fast replies, but I have one last question.Is there any way to restore it by modifying the hardware?Replacing something etc.?

Check craigslist for any HTC Dream, and swap the motherboard and other necessary guts with yours. You can usually find G1's for around $25 with a cracked screen. Which you don't need the screen, so that doesn't matter.

Yeah motherboard replacement doesn't look too tricky. Search for the thread on how to recovery from a brick in the development section, it has a step by step guide with pictures.

That's not really going to help him recover the data on his flash though.

if you have nandroid backups, your data will still be recoverable. if not, your out of luck

Did you got your phone working ??

[Q] I really messed this up

Let me start off with some background. I am new to Motorola but not new to Android. I rooted the X with pwnmymoto and installed safestrap. Everything was working fine until it just suddenly stopped. On the top of my screen it showed the sd card with a red line through it. I called Verizon and they sent me a new sd card. When I put it in last night it still did not work. I tried to get back to stock with all tutorials available but my computed would not recognize the device. Finally is safestrap I found an option to factory reset but instead of just factiory resetting I formatted everything including the operating system. Now the only thing I can boot into is a blank screen or safestrap. Since i can boot into safestrap is there a way I can get out of this mess? I dont want to return it to VZW the way it is plus they will notice that I have safestrap installed.
Please Help!!!!!

if you are ok with returning your phone to stock then we can solve your problems pretty easy. send me a pm and I can help you out. Its not a big deal you didn't mess anything up. You didn't describe anything that would have caused the issue you are describing but I am curious as to where you put an sd card into a moto x? This may be a stupid thing to say but I thought we didn't have sd card storage... I'm almost positive we don't. But anyway, I can still get you back to stock no problem.

The rsd lite cant see my moto x i can only access it thru the fastboot but when i try the rsd way it doesnt see the phone.

Download/find the correct system.img and boot.img for your device, then push/install them via fastboot. You shouldn't need anything else. Recovery, bootloader, and other firmware should be untouched. Only issue is if it's a safestrap device, then I have no clue.

Gokart i have tried that i dont think i am doing it wrong i got the system.img and the boot.img from here but just incase i ride the small yellow bus with a helmet on can you please point me to the direction i need to go AGAIN.

try to
fastboot flash system system.img

The obvious thing is make sure you have fastboot set up correctly... Drivers as well.

Make sure all drivers are installed, trust me redlite works with a soft bricked moto x, I found out today, my phone was bootlooping, nandroids failed soi wiped the sdcard and realized at that point I did the noob thing, well it worked like a charm rsdlite

i would like to thank all you guys for all the advise that was given to help me bring my moto x back to life i finally got it up and running again using the moto x toolkit it seemed like the only thing that would of work in my situation again thank yall so much :victory::victory::victory:

Who unlocks their bootloader but doesn't know what to do when stuff goes bad, like this?
If you read enough to unlock the bootloader, you should have read enough to know what to do here. Coming here frantic without even checking the eleven billion threads already is silly. We have about 12 threads about the new update and similar high number threads about restoring your phone.
Too many repetitive threads for the Moto X on xda. Some people just need to take 5 minutes and look through general or Q&A before they blindly post. Clutter everywhere.
And finally, dude! I do not have any pity for you. I'm on Verizon and cannot unlock my bootloader maybe that's why I just ranted. Nothing personal, just a general consensus of this section as of late...

oh brother i am not mad at you but as a by the way i DID try different ways of trying to load the os back using this site as a guidance before i made this post this post was a last ditch effort before i smash the moto x and use the insurance claim on it i have been a member of this site since 2010 i just didnt create this account

Help returning to stock/unroot

Hello! Its been a while since I've done this and I am looking for some help. I am on android 4.4.2, rooted and running FirekatDeodex19N4. I am looking to unroot and return completely to stock. I do not have any backups. They were on a SD card that was lost. Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you in advance!

So from the little I have been able to find, it looks like all the original files are no longer hosted anywhere? :/ I know a lot of people probably dont use this old phone anymore but I really need to get it back to stock and unrooted. Is this even possible or am I screwed?

Will someone please help me? I have searched and searched and everytime I think I have figured it out, its outdated or the files arent available or the comments say it didnt work. I would greatly appreciate some help here.

AT&T N900A, tried to upload Root de la Vega, failed. Cannot boot.

I'll try to make this long story short. My experience level is pretty low. I've rooted and flashed firmware to a few devices in the past, but Odin worked well and I was always following instructions.
I have a n AT&T Note 3 N900A running 5.0
I accidentally deleted a folder of photos, and needed to root my device in order to attempt recovering the lost photos.
I Tried King root, kingoroot, etc... and failed to root the device.
Then used the N900AUCUBMI1_OneClickBin which Fails it says "SW REV CHECK FAIL: [sbl1]Fused 2 > Binary 1
then i tried Odin and root De la Vega which also failed
Now my device is stuck at "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I download latest Kies... it doesnt support my device....
How can I fix this? Is there a rooted rom I can flash to it? I really just want to extract the deleted photos as the device is aging, but now I'm in over my head.
If this isnt something I can do myself, I'm willing to pay monies if there is someone reputable with references that can fix this for me.

Update
I was able to use Odin 3.09 to install CSC_ATT_N900AATTDNL1_CL3032228_QB3188679_REV03_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar
the phone is now able to boot and works fine but.... it is completely wiped.
I had saved most of my stuff odd the phone, but I still need to root and run data recovery on deleted photos
still needing help, please. thank you.
dale.

update
Currently downloading SM-N900A_OC1_Lollipop_Rooted_Rom.zip
going to give that a try.

i dont care for most current firmware, just want access to device so i can scan for previously deleted files, if they havent been overwritten....

Why are you not posting in your phones forum ??
This is not AT&T Note 3 .
RECUVA may find your lost data but it may be a lost cause already .

Now im trying to downgrade to kitkat 4.4.2 to root.

Would you please let me know how to flag an admin or moderator to move my thread? Thank you for your replies.
I found another software. Jihosoft.
I was able to downgrade from 5.0 to 4.4.2 and am running jihosoft now.
It looks like after flashing, I lost any hope of recovering files... im really not happy with this. I wish i hadn't bricked the thing in the first place.

I've tried several recovery software.
My entire DCIM filder from the device is gone. I'm assuming because I reflashed that I wrote over it? I'm surprised that 1500 pictures wouldnt be able to be found in the device.... Maybe theres solution I dont know about that can do a much deeper scan?
I'm so upset that I lost everything... Didnt realize it wasnt on the SD card... years of military and family photos gone...
I'd appreciate any help at this point. Does someone have access to forensic tools that can recover the lost data?

I've given up on recovery tools and want to make a .raw image of the internal storage that I can convert into a disc image which I can scan. I'm not really understanding how to do the directions at http://www.asoftech.com/articles/android-enable-mass-storage.html

Update:
I learned a LOT in the last few days.
I went and bought a 64gb SD card and am using Cygwin with the command dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/storage/extSdCard/system.img
I am not certain if this will strip the entire 32gb internal memory and put it on SD card, but we will find out. It is currently at 3gb and growing fast.

Update file is now 8gb,. That must mean it is reading the entire internal memory. I'm doubting I can recover my files, but this has still been an amazing learning process. Will still need to convert the RAW file to a VHD.
I'm not certain I came to the right forums as nobody seems interested in responding. Maybe my problem is too low level for this place?

I successfuly dumped internal memory to an IMG file on the external SD. Scanned teh data but did not find waht I wanted.
I imagine that if I could get direct access to the internal memory I could recover the data, but that is not hardware or software possible anymore, so I learned once again to back up important things.
Thanks everyone for the helpful responses.
Now to decide what ROM to flash...

Any layman that comes across this thread in the future and wants to save deleted files off your phone, my advice to you is: Take the battery out of your phone and stop using it immediately. If you don't have root access, send it to a professional data recovery service and explain the type of files you lost.
