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.

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.

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...

So I did a major mistake here. I had the liquid rom but it was so glitchy and all that nothin worked. so then i went to my cwm 6.0.2.8 recovery to delete cache and wipe data to flash the new rom but then it turns out the new rom I wanted to flash was incomplete and now my phone is completely blank now. Oh i am unlocked bootloader too. please help me guys! plus i now have a problem that it says (internal sd card) E: cant mount /sdcard/ and also android_secure is gone. I was able to flash a rom within my sdcard but it gets into a bootloop and wont boot up since of the internal sd card error.

I've been in the situation a couple of times all you need to do is fastboot flash back to stock using skeevydudes tutorial under general or use rsd lite
I will surely try that. I cant use rsd since i have mac though.

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.

unzip the file, download the snapdragon fastboot file and put it in the same folder as the unzipped Mex retail then run these fastboot commands while the phone is hooked up to the computer and fastboot mode
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash devtree device_tree.bin
fastboot flash system system.img

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.

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!

Hello!
My RazrI got into a bootloop (red boot animation) without any reason (the phone worked since over a year without any tweaking around with stock firmware). I got it into fastboot and tried to flash CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml with RSD but at command 4 (reboot bootloader) it failed. I also tried the MEDFIELD unbrick fix, but this didn't help also. So I executed each fastboot command from the RSD xml manually. I flashed gpt, motoboot, boot, recovery and motobp with success. But I got an error on system:

You need to use mfastboot to flash system. It won't work with fastboot.
mfastboot is a modified fastboot to work with large system files.

Hello everyone,
some months ago i rooted my HTC One (M7) and all works great, but now my camera didn't work. Front camera work sometimes, but rear behave like didn't exist. So i want now to go back to stock ROM, maybe it can help, if not i want to send phone to service.
So far i did this:
- change CID to stock
- lock bootloader
- change bootloader flag (RELOCKED to LOCKED)
and now i must flash stock RUU, but when i try to do this CMD send me error.
I download this RUU (I can't paste link): PN07IMG_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_HTC_Europe_7.19.401.2_Radio_4T.35.3218.16_10.33Q.1718.01L_release_421790_signed.zip and i type commands:

You must use htc_fastboot.exe to flash the ruu (explained at post #1 of the ruu collection thread). Also relocking the bootloader is not required to flash a RUU when s-off (I'm assuming your phone is S-OFF since you were able to change your cid), also explained in at post #1 of the ruu thread. You can download htc_fastboot.exe from androidfilehost.com
I downloaded fastboot for HTC, but maybe it wasn't correct. I try find some fine fastboot and then I write here. Thanks a lot!
