Well, this is embarrassing...
Current Status:
After a factory wipe and reinstalling (phone was OK after that) and an OTA, i managed to nearly brick my razr.
Currently every time i start it lands in fastboot (according to RSD Lite mode S) with the message fastboot reason: flash failed
after 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' i can operate the menus but only changing the console type and power off work, everything else results in a freeze.
Reflashing CFC_signed_customer_8.7.1I-110_IFW-DE-32_O2DE.xml.zip or 31 is not possible, since the OTA update apparently changed boot[1], gpt[2], and few other things to version "8.7.1I-110_IFW-DE-39" (the only thing i can flash from those are the recovery partitions and from the new one the gpt.bin)
Custom fastboot also does not work, since i'm not eligible according to Motorola ( tis was my first thought to check the custom boots & finally unlock the bl *g*)
I already ordered the factory adapter (hey, you never know, when you're gonna need one) & My Battery still has ~3.9v left, so i think a few tries should not hurt that much : >
TL;DR, Here's my question:
1) is it possible to patch the images provided in CFC_signed_customer_8.7.1I-110_IFW-DE-32_O2DE.xml.zip with the binary patches from Blur_Version.81.5.32002.XT890.O2.en.DE (updates to: 8.7.1I-110_IFW-DE-39_O2DE) and then maybe re-flash them to get my razr back from the near death zone?
2) should i hope and pray that Motorola announces JB upgrade and provides us with the full system images within the next few days?
3) can anyone find a full system image / full update with the version: 8.7.1I-110_IFW-DE-39_O2DE ?

The Problem is, without unlocking your Bootloader, you can't downgrade the Boot. img.
I would suggest you to grap the 39002 O2 Homemade Fastboot from Mattlgroff and flash only the Boot. img out of it. If you're an lucky guy, you're able to boot after that.
An Guy from my Home Forum tried the downgrade from 40002 today with an locked boot loader. RSD stopped @ point 1 GPT. His solution to boot his phone again was to flash the gpt.bin out of the 40002 OTA .zip.
So your only chance to get your phone back is to find flashable Images from the 39002 or 40002 because of the secure Level.
The easiest way is to unlock the device, I can downgrade to any FW. Or you'll have to wait for an updated Fastboot File to flash with RSD.
Hokay, apparently i had a typo yesterday when i tried to unlock the bootloader
But, now after trying the custom fastboot, i still land in fastboot with reason: Sticky bit fastboot
and all other menus still cause a freeze : /
If you're now unlocked, get an EU FW, regardless what Version. Open the XML with Notepad + or any similar Programm and delete ONLY the complete Line that contains MOTOBOOT. Save the XML and start RSD 6.1.4.
After that you should be good to go.

So you're on 40002 and tried to flash back with RSD and your Bootloader is locked?
RSD failed on step one, right?
brick
Yes sir. Iwas on 40002 and with the rsd i was trying to go back to stock 30006,but on step 3 it says fail. Then i try to fastboot 40002 but it tqkes me again to fastboot and its freezes when i try to open a command like normal boot or recovery. I tried to eras the lineinside of motoboot where it says motoboot like the guy you just helped. But in my case still gets stuck on step 3in the rsd. So could you send me images of how erase the line of motoboot on text editor?? Im boot unlocked.
You mean 31006...Here ya go (unpack it > i can't attach an .xml)
Thank u sir. So i flash this on rsd,right? Vause i think that this is the one i have.the last digits are 31 on mine an starts cfc . Something else. I cant really tell u cause im at work but tonight i'll try ur method. Hope it works.

Use RSD 6.1.4 and copy the xml into the fastbootfolder. That's all...BTW: Charge your battery if possible or hope you got enough juice!
unbricked
thank you sir. everything like new!!!!!!!!
i"ll buy u some beers.
my razr i is workin now but i cant update the ota for the 31006 thats going to take me to 40002??
You're trying to update regular over the Phone or the manual over the leaked Update.zip? If you're trying it over the leaked zip, than beware. There's one if you're coming from 31006 and one from 32002.
Sent from my XT890
I go into software update, then i download the file, its like 50mb. Then it goes into rwcovery but the android dies and says aborted. So then i tried in recovery mode to flash zip blur ota 310006 but it happen the same. So i decided to stay in mis rom the 31006 from sept. But i was wondering if now i could flash in fastboot another rom like 40002? I saw u guy have the ota update for that rom.

hi im new here as a member of xda but hae learned a ton by reading around the site. ive currently ran into an issue with my atrix hd (mb886) i updated the firmware i tried multiple versions to see if the problem was with the file. even with stock firmware if i dont use a rom i get stuck on motorolla screen. i have cwm revocery. my bootloader is unlocked and before i updatd the firmware my phone was rooted. so at this point i tried installing multiple roms. 1: CM =bootloop 2:jellybam=bootloop 3:btakang rises- screen passes the motorolla screen and goes to a black screen that flashes every 6 seconds. my fastboot menue reads the following
normal power up
recovery
ap fastboot
factory
bp tools
when ii enter ap fastboot this is what i see
ap fastboot flash mode (s)
10.9B(*) (sha-ca705b9,2013-02-17 18:17:55)
eMMC info: size 8gb
device is unlocked, status code:3
battery ok

fastboot reason:boot menue selected (that sometimes changews to sticky etc only if im connected and flashing firmware via command promt on laptop)
im not sure what i need to do to fix my phone at this point if i can get the thing to turn on idc what rom or firmwar i use lol thanx alot in advance
After flashing my xt1058 with a custom ROM (Eclipse), i realized my phone was having some issues.
So i tried to factory reset it. I accidentally wiped system (TWRP) and now i'm currently looking at the loading screen. It just stays there, white with the moto logo and nothing happens. I tried running 'Factory' in fastboot too, but nothing changed.
Can anyone help me to restore my 4.4.2?
Hope i haven't bricked my phone. Fastboot shows no errors.
You probably will need to rsdlite or fastboot back to stock 4.4.2 image.....IF its available yet for your phone.

RSD Lite did it for me. Download the 6.1.6 version along your retail rom and follow these steps here:
http://wccftech.com/steps-to-restor...lite-att-sprint-t-mobile-us-cellular-verizon/
Note: If you can't get adb to boot to bootloader, just use the common method, down volume+power buttons.
fastboot flash system system.img
or
In TWRP with sideloading activated: adb sideload rom.zip
I tried following this guide to downgrade to 4.2.2 so that I could root my AT&T device.
I was able to adb and fastboot into the device. And I flashed the ATT CU update with fastboot.
After that the device constantly reboots after reaching the M logo screen,
I can boot into the bootloader, and I can send fastboot commands, but not any adb commands.
I also cannot load any of the options in the bootloader (Recovery, Factory, etc), they simply reboot the phone.
I don't care what version of Android I go to as long as it gives me a working phone. Please help!
Thanks.
Edit: I was able to recover my phone by flashing the 4.4 update. I would like to know where I went wrong, so that I could possibly still do the downgrade>root>upgrade path.

How to repair my bricked moto x xt 1052
Hi everybody...
Im new here.
I hope someone resolve it.
My moto x xt 1052 is bricked, means it is not powerup normally, no any screen displayed, no boot image, boot animation, but goes into fastboot mode sometimes on trying to go in it using hardware key pressing i.e. Power and volume down keys.
Here is the brief description what was happened......
My moto was on stock kitkat 4.4.4 for upgrading it to lollipop On 19th jan i was tried to flash cm12 over cm11 nightly as described in that thread , for that i was unlocked my bootloader, rooted it, flashed CWM touch recovery, flashed superSu zip file and flashed cm12 nightly over cm11 as described. But my device was stucked at boot logo. For resolving that issue i was flashed boot.img of prev nightly release(i.e. 1/15) through command promp using commands '' cd Downloads... cd fastboot... fastboot flash boot boot.img.
It flashesh image file successfully and device is booted successfully. I was used it till last 4days and regularly updated cm12 nightly via cmupdater.
But 4days back i was tried to remove warning message of device is ulocked bootloaded which was irritated me using same flash method and logo.bin files which was given in another thread by other members. But my BOOTLOADER IS DAMAGED and no any display was seen. I read many threads to repair it but no anyone give easy step by step guide. I was tried to repair it using motoflasher given in 1 thred. But as shown there no my device was not shown in device manager asQUSB****9** THERE is only adb interface in device manager. Also it says in motoflasher that no device was connected and output was incorrect COM port, which was refused to flash bootloader. Another thred of rescurrection of bootloader is not so easy and also download links are not useful,shows item was removed.
There is no another way, i thought bootloader is a kernel, so i was flashed zwiel kernel by same flashing method by cmd.
The problem remaims same, moto care told thay it will cost 6k for repairong which is too high. The descreltion is given in details for anyone who finds my mistakes and tell me angd give me suggestion. Xda is big deveopers forum, i know someone will help me.. So plzzz help me.
HOW CAN I REPAIR MY BOOTLOADER AND SAVE MY MOTO which will not useful then usable as a paperweight.
Have you tried to simply re flash your stock 4.4.4 firmware via fastboot since you say you can get into fastboot mode? Or rsd your 4.4.4 firmware. If you can get into fastboot mode I think you should be able to fastboot your stock 4.4.4 and be back up and running.
When in fastboot mode and phone plugged in and you type "fastboot devices" does it display a string of numbers for your device? If yes then you are good to go.
I am having a similar issue with a Sprint Moto X (1st Gen). I am able to get to fastboot mode and I have flashed the stock image for 4.4.4 using mfastboot (also re-did it using RSD lite as the boot.img gave errors using mfastboot) but the phone only still boots to a dark screen and vibrates roughly every 15 seconds.
Anyone have an idea on what else I can try? I've been scouring the boards and youtube, but haven't really come across anything on this type of issue.
Has been RDS flashing process totally completed without any errors?
The flash finishes with no errors when it goes to reboot the phone I end up at the same spot of a black screen that vibrates like its powering on then repeats every 15 seconds like its stick in a loop. Odd... I never get the smallest hint to a picture on the screen.

Your symptom I'm quoting is what I've seen when a bad logo.bin has been flashed to the phone.
Can you try another? Some are in http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/themes-apps/collection-moto-boot-services-t2885395
Thanks for the suggestion.
I tried a dew different logos but the end result is still the same. Vibrates on power up, no display at all and repeats until I hold the volume down and count to like 10 when the next buzz cycle would happen so I can get into fastboot mode again. I should note that I can't see anything in this screen as well. I was starting to wonder if it was the screen that was the issue but the bootloop has me thinking otherwise.
I have another one with a bad screen and a replacement is on the way. I guess I can test it on this one as well but I'm sure the result will be the same.
I took a gamble on this one thinking I could bring i back to life, I figured the last owner just soft bricked it and flashing the latest stock would override what mess they did. I'll tinker around some more if there are some other options otherwise I can just flip it for parts i guess.
If I run the fastboot getvar all I get all the phone info so it gives me hope that something can be done, I just don't know what, it seems like I keep cycling through the same few processes hoping for a different result. I even tried the power + Volume down for two minutes thing that's supposed to bring up the "other" recovery menu, but with no display, i don't know what happening.
In a last ditch effort I did a tear down and connection check for all the parts so everything has been removed and firmly re-attached, certainly was nice to do that there instead of on the one I know will work once I replace the screen, but it sucks to still come up empty handed. Sorry for the long rant, it's just been a long few days of trying to find ways to bring this phone back to life.
Solved with downgrading
Sorry for bad english.
I had same issue.
But solved prev saturday hole day.
Using manual method instead of rsd.
Make sure u properly installed adb and mfastboot. For that open cmd and type adb. It shows command lines and then mfastboot. It also shows command lines then you are ready to go. If not, google it for how to install adb and also for mFastboot
Then download proper stock firmware for ur device. unzip it, u will get files of system, boot etc. Copy all this files and paste into mfastboot folder. Open command prompt in that folder by pressing shift and right key of mouse.
Then boot your moto into fastboot mode by pressing power and volume down key for a seconds. If u will not get in to fastboot mode try for many times unless u get it. I will get it after trying half hour.
Connect ur device to pc and run commans given in the following link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
End with-- fastboot adb reboot. It will reboot ur device.
Enjoy.
Thanks for the steps, I feel like I have done that already save for the few end steps with the oem commands.
So I flashed the print image using that guide and it still vibrates every 15 seconds and no display. I grabbed the retail file from the motorola site (oddly enough they only have TMO on the file name for some reason) and I flash this and it doesn't vibrate every 15 seconds, but still no display... Maybe in the end the display is bad after all...
Like mentioned before, I already have one coming in black for the one that works for sure...so I guess I'll test it on this one as well. Just wish it was as easy to disconnect/connect as my Nokia Lumia was, that took less than 10 minutes!
So, in the end it was the display afterall. I ended up getting another replacement screen as I really did not feel like attaching it and detaching it (yeah, I'm lazy sometimes). After setting up the new screen I plugged it in to charger and what do you know, battery at 0% then the motorola bootloader unlock screen after 5 or so minutes.
Now I have two phones, lol. One screen came without the speaker on the to fro some reason... And I think I just messed up my main phone removing the frame to add in that piece so lint and such doesn't get into the phone so easily... Dang it!
Edit - Yep, now it has a nice rainbow line display across the bottom where the navigate soft button would be... Guess I have to get one more screen!

Go to the General Forum there's a dedicated thread with official roms for your particular model. Use download the ROM and flash through rsdlite. Always make a backup since it will wipe your internal storage clean.

If you installed 5.1 by using one of the TWRP backups, and did NOT flash the leaked OTA zip files, then you should have only touched /system and /boot partitions.. in that case, it would be safe to flash 4.4.4.

I have a moto x of my friend xt1053, dont not what he has done with it.
but
it is in Encryption Unsuccessful Condition.
When I connect to pc. Windows show that motorola xt1053 is connected. device manager shows MTP device under portable devices.
Mototrola USB drivers have been installed successfully.
I can not boot xt1053 into fastboot mode or recovery. Neither by adb/fastboot nor by buttons. (volume down + Power).
adb devices command does not show any numbers as it normally does when device is connected.
how get it back to working condition. any expert to help or happen to be in the same boat?
