[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodyjlw:
I had same issue... for me what fixed was I ran blackhole wipe about 4 times in a row back to back then tried FSC again and it worked flawlessly. I really dont know which one dose better than the other but I run both, maybe one will clean something the other dose not!! As long as I keep the gremlins out of my phone it runs much smoother on most any rom I run. And it sounds too me like you may have some gremlins lurking about. thomas has some good tips on removing them if you read some of his forums he talks about backing up your sd onto your pc and searching for .trash .thumb and another one I think was .dat but you may want to check first, but deleting those files and wipe sd and copy the clean backup back to freshly wiped sd helped me a ton!

I run blackhole and FSC before every flash now, sometimes multiple times apiece just to make sure!

good luck!

thanks to the dev's that take the time to make these tools for us!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Chitown021:
I do the exact same thing. I've had no luck getting FSC to run on its own so I don't even try it unless I run blackhole first. If I don't then FSC just freezes up. I probably need to format my SD card since I haven't done that in a year or two. I'm just afraid I'll screw things up or lose important files since I have a lot of stuff saved there.

anybody got a mirror? Goo.im is acting wonky again...5MB may not be much to download, but it takes a long time at 1.1 KB/s
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
I'm getting the same thing. goes to boot aroma and hangs, although it doesn't surprise me in the least what with goo.im behaving a little funky im thinking it cant download properly :eek:

Try downloading a 168 mb file at 1.1kb/s yesterday at goo. img
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
I'm working on getting a new file share server... goo has been acting funky for a while now...takes it several hours to refresh and give me a download link...amongst other things
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
well, i had forgotten all about this until tonight :P downloaded one that worked (now that Goo decided to take a moment to behave), though I did have to blackhole, reboot back to recovery, and then run it. Without even putting LZ on it (just latest CM10 nightly), my phone is running faster than it ever has before.

I'm a believer
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
I'm still finding that this hangs and won't work even if I run black hole 5 times or more. I've had to reboot my phone a few times too finally get it too work. Never works on the first try
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] DiViNEX:
Until tom an can sort out the issues I would just go with black hole. Run black hole 3-4 times in a row and flash your ROM ect as you normally would. It does a pretty good job in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Chitown021:
So weird... in the past I've run black hole once then FSC right after it and it worked great. Today I decided to run black hole about six times in a row before using FSC and this time it froze before getting to the little gremlin picture. Had to pull the battery and get back into recovery. Once I did I ran FSC again but this time it worked just fine....
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
Thats what mine does. Always freezes right before the gremlin pic
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] woodyjlw:
my wife has the galaxy s3 and was just wondering if fsc would run on it to?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
Possibly. But to avoid a potential brick, very that the partitions are:

/system = /dev/block/mmcblk0p24
/data = /dev/block/mmcblk0p25
/cache = /dev/block/mmcblk0p26
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Palisandr:
Exactly the same problem on mine. Hangs right before the gremlin pic. I was able to run it only once. Now I just use black hole wipe 5 times.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nate483:
After attempting the OGBatteryMod, my phone now has a black background, no notification bar, and no settings app. I am guessing there is a problem with SystemUI.apk and SecSettings.apk so I tried to reinstall them. However android fails to install them. The phone is rooted using exynos abuse. I have searched around and apparently this can be caused by flashing custom ROMS but I have done no such thing. A system restore might be necessary, but I would prefer not to if possible. Any help would be great!

FIX: Moved .apk files from folder "og" to system/app using root explorer. Mods: please remove this if needed

How is there a Mexican firmware for this phone??? I haven't seen this phone available in Mexico...
[Motorola Atrix HD] marshok:
+1
[Motorola Atrix HD] 3z3-8917:
Yes the mexican firmware is avaliable for dowload in sbf.droid-developers, but it's but it's no compatible with AHD AT&T.

I lost the signal constantly in my AHD AT&T 4.1.1 stock JB, for that reason I flashing mexican firmware for fix this, but I brick my phone, not is posible reflashing MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA.xml.zip, I get this error en RDS: Failed flashing process. 1/23 flash partion \ \ gpt_main0.bin - Phone returned FAIL
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
I learned YEARS ago never to flash an sfb\fastboot\odin\whatever if its not made specifically for your device+OS+carrier until the super smarts have determined if the signatures\values are compatible (or wait until a post like this shows up :cowboy:). Motorola's notorious for setting up sbf's in a way that will brick you, prevent you from ever going back to stock, and\or downgrading. Knowing that, I made a rom from MR instead of flashing the fastboot.

ATRIX HD: security downgraded version -- that line worries me the most, especially if that's what it says if you're trying to flash AT&T now -- It could mean that MR has a higher CG value than AT&T. You'll never be able to install the AT&T fastboot again if that ends up being the case -- you've blown an efuse.

I'm gonna need some more details: Did the MR flash fully finish the first time used? If it fully finished and didn't boot or loops, do a factory reset in the stock reocovery. You could also try to unlock the bootloader (worth a shot at any rate) -- seems like you still have fastboot access so its at least worth trying -- it would be great if MR is the secret fastboot that unlocks us (I mean, the rom itself has no entitlement checking whatsoever, maybe its bootloader doesn't either...)

.

Can you still access SS or does it boot directly into fastboot\stock recovery? . If fastboot only, try flashing just the boot.img from the fastboot (probably won't work if an efuse has been blown). If you still have SS then we can put the boot.img in a zip and flash that -- its how we safely tested Defy sbf's without blowing an efuse.

After trying all of the above and if none of them work you should attempt flashing the Bell JB fasboot as a last ditch effort.
[Motorola Atrix HD] marshok:
loading into fastboot only with error "flash failure"
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
I'm not really sure what to tell you. You could try flashing just AT&T boot.img and devtree....Maybe make a hybrid fastboot, replace what fails during the AT&T flash with files from the MR fastboot (and modify the xml accordingly). Since it seems you're using the MR fastboot menu it, trying the unlock command is worth a shot.

All my other suggestions involve trying to connect directly to the nand and manually dd in the mbr and such -- I've never even tried connecting to my phone like that, so you'll have to search for those methods on your own, sorry. You'll also be diving in to full on brick territory too. You're just semi bricked, so you can still get lucky if you don't change that.

There is still hope (maybe) -- Apparently 4.2 is in testing and a fastboot should pop up for it before or after it's released. If its like every other major sbf\fastboot release I've seen it should have higher signatures\cg values and could possibly be a fix for you. That's all an assumption, but its based on credible rumor (a Mattlgroff post) and Motorola's past actions. The point is -- You still have access to fastboot, don't do anything to screw that up because your needed fix might not be available yet.

Or you could send in your phone for warranty; check Motorola's website to see if your still covered under factory warranty -- I am and my phone is a 99 cent refurbished model -- I still have 11 months left :p You get 12-24 months coverage when you register (length depends on New or Refurb). I was truthful on my Purchase Date, but I suppose you could lie and say you just recently bought it and it quit working when you started to upgrade it.
[Motorola Atrix HD] 3z3-8917:
no the flashing not completed, I got the error just flash boot.img

how I can do this? when my AHD is briked

if boot directly into fastboot and I have acces stock recovery

I try flash Bell JB fasboot and I get the same error

thanks for your help skeevy420 :)

PD. Excuse my english
[Motorola Atrix HD] marshok:
3z3-8917

How do you help skeevy420?

you have restored your phone after flashing on MB886_niimx-user-4.1.2-9.8.2Q-50_MB886?

In the same boat

Hey guys I'm in the same boat. I rooted my Atrix HD and was happy until I installed busy box 9.2, which managed to overwrite /system/bin and I don't know what else :( I could no longer mount/remount, change w/r in root, use the ls or many other commands and wifi, mobile data, bluetooth, or OS factory reset all gone.

I should have made a copy of my system before doing anything else but I went ahead and used the boot menu recovery, which didn't do anything to help the problem.

I then flashed the MR rom with RSD Light in an attempt to recovery my phone, it was 4.1.2 and seemed like a good (hindsight horrible) idea at the time.

Now I can fastboot flash recovery images from att JB but it does no good because the boot partition fails. The RSD Light MR boot flash failed but somehow the security version stuck, and the Bell 4.1.2, Att 4.1.1, and 7.7.1Q-144, roms boot.img all return Partition (boot) Security Version Downgraded. If anyone knows a way around this please let me know.

It seems kind of tragic that Dan's bootloader unlocking came out, pretty much the day after I got stuck in this locked bootloader loop :(
[Motorola Atrix HD] Codex01:
You have to use a special xml, unzip your stock-rom replace the old xml with this one: for ICS and this one for JB.

Then try to flash it again with https://www.box.com/s/cmoz84iachug77tghdlo version of rsd lite. Make sure you have these latest drivers.
[Motorola Atrix HD] rorrito:
it can fix?????? i did the same flash at my atrix hd
[Motorola Atrix HD] 3z3-8917:
for the moment it's not possible, wait bootloader unlock tool for AHD briked....
[Motorola Atrix HD] docside:
Ok downloaded the JB you linked and upgraded from RSD Light 6.1.4 to 6.1.5, I edited the XML to remove getvar, and ran RSD Light but it still fails on step 1.

"Failed Flashing Process 1/23 "gpt_main0.bin -> Phone returned FAIL."

On the Phone "preflash validation failed for gpt_main0.bin"

The only stock rom that made it past step 1 has been the MR that bricked my phone, so I replaced the system.img, boot.img, and recovery.img of the MR with the JB 4.1.1 you linked but it still fails at step 15, flashing boot.img. Preflash validation falure :(
[Motorola Atrix HD] ickysjazz:
BRICK AHD

Exactly same situation here, Flashing Mexican Firmware.

Now i got Partition (Boot) Security Version Downgraded

Hope it can be fixed:crying:
[Motorola Atrix HD] noobsaibot34:
fix fail on part 1 rsd

use the stickyboot fix from general got it from skeevydude it works, try using mythtools after!
[Motorola Atrix HD] vananucho:
Shame on me :S

Well, I just bricked an ATT AHD in the same manner, trying to flash the Mexican JB version (I bought 3 of this phones to sell here in Mexico and wanted them to look as the phones they sell here by replacing the broken digitizers with ones with no ATT logo and flashing local firmware) ...But yeah, I made a big mistake, I wasn't aware I had to unlock BL before flashing other carrier SBF's... :S At least I've learned from this and didn't made the same mistake with the other 2 AHD's I have (And I'm planning to go back to stock and deodex em' because Mex fw isnt working pretty well on this AHD's...)

Trying to repair this thing by reflashing ATT JB stock fw... RSD & Myth seem not to work;

-In RSD I can't even get past step 1/23 (flash partition "gtp_main0.bin" failed"); when trying to flash Mexican rom I got to step 15/23 till I got the error.

-In Myth It looks like some files get flashed (It even gets me to the "Load Recovery" option, I obviously choose Stock as I don't want to f'up the phone even more :P) and then "finishes" but when rebooting, shows "Dual Core tech" bootscreen and sends me back to Fastboot (Reason: Sticky bit factory_fastboot), tried stickyboot solution on cmd and then reflash on myth, same result.

Also I get the messages "downgraded security version" and "Invalid PIV Image: System" in AHD Fastboot. I don't know what else to do now, I still haven't tried Bell rom as I think I'll mess things up even more so I've stayed away from it :( At this point I guess I'm pretty much f***ed...

[MENTION=2916845]ickysjazz[/MENTION]

[MENTION=3997693]vananucho[/MENTION]

You're using the wrong fastboot...I can tell that by the error code...use snapdragon fastboots...those are the only ones for us to use. Any other fastboot will result in errors.

So Download those

DL Mex Retail

Extract it

Open terminal to that extracted directory

Do the sticky_bit fix.

Do these commands in this order

fastboot flash partition gpt_main0.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash sbl2 sbl2.mbn
fastboot flash sbl3 sbl3.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash devtree device_tree.bin
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash cdrom cdrom
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata

And that's how you manually flash a fastboot. I've never used MythTools or RSD. That is how I do it, always have done it, always will do it -- with the same fastboot linked above with same commands posted. Those are for Mex Retail, but should work on any JB fastboot...ICS fastboots need a few minor tweaks.

Do the fastboot commands as root on Linux or as a Windows Admin (set the admin privileges for the app in the right click properties menu)
[Motorola Atrix HD] vananucho:
Replaced the fastboot with the one provided by Skeevydude and still get the same error but I guess it's due to the fact that I'm running out of battery (Started showing low bat advice after 3rd failed attempt, using regular cable), I'll try this again as soon as I make a flashing cable, I'll keep updated!
[Motorola Atrix HD] marshok:
it will not work, because MEX RETAIL has higher security version(in gpt_main0.bin) than AT&T 4.1.1.

after flashing gpt_main0.bin from MEX RETAIL you can not flash(snapdr. fastboots or rds) anything from 4.1.1(downgrade security vertsion error), and you can not flash anything from MEX RETAIL(other error, dont remember)
[Motorola Atrix HD] noobsaibot34:
Mexico Retail Rom

That's why I'm glad I never messed with that Mexi ROM...

Forgot to mention the snapdragon boots... Why don't you just get the right cable? That caused a problem for me(Iwas using usb extension cord from Logitech F710).

Not only that but the AHDs you're trying to push off as mexican don't have push to talk from nextel...You're trying to sell counterfeit items...?
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
You can flash any fastboot manually, just skip gpt_main0.bin and you'll be ok. Its the partition table and it hasn't changed at all.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Youngunn2008:
If you guys would read a bit you would know you can flash any sbf with fastboot. But like skeevy said you have to remove the gpt main line and the two get var lines from the XML if you're gonna use rsd or use fast boot manually from command line. I've never seen an actual brick so far from flashing an sbf. As long as you can get to ap fast boot screen you fine.
[Motorola Atrix HD] vananucho:
Yeah, even using flashing cable I noticed that gpt_main0.bin and system.img won't flash, so I guess I'm f**ked.

---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

Technically is not counterfeiting, it's like a "debranding" stuff. Almost nobody likes AT&T logo and bloatware so I try to remove most of it, and I sell at the same price point than guys who sell AT&T AHD's I just wanna sell faster. I wanted to try the Nextel rom as It has almost no bloat but yeah I made this mistake and I'm stuck. The other 2 AHD's BL Unlocked are now running on Razr-based roms :3
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
SBF...you're old school Motorola...I catch myself typing sbf instead of fastboot all the time :p

//ftfy

System.img will ONLY flash with the snapdragon fastboots. Not the OG Atrix moto-fastboot. not the SDK fastboot. It has to be flashed in a special way and that one fastboot is the only one that does it correctly....GPT error, ignore it, doesn't matter, don't flash it...simple as that.
[Motorola Atrix HD] vananucho:
Okay, so I followed [MENTION=4487948]skeevydude[/MENTION] advice, I skipped GPT, I'm now using Snapdragons kernel.

I'm still getting boot.img an system.img errors (Invalid PIV image: System & Preflash Validation failed for boot), I'm trying to flash AT&T Stock JB, I still havent tried to mix-n-match the files from other firmwares but I'm skeptical that it could work. I don't know what else I can do :(
[Motorola Atrix HD] vananucho:
Well I just gave up... The phone is still under warranty, I fooled in the description of the problem and said that "It Just happened I do not why and it gets me to this annoying black screen everytime ;) " I know that the guys in warranty services are not that dumb to believe this but...It's worth a try... [MENTION=4487948]skeevydude[/MENTION] thanks for your help, at least I already learned how to fastboot ;)
