Hi!

Thanks for your interest.

I've been doing the following.

- Using RSD 6.1.4

- Dowloaded the Mexican retailer 4.1.2 and the ATT retailer 4.1.1.

- Opened the XML file and removed the 2 lines saying "getvar"

- Doing this with the ATT retailer I get error on block 1.

- Then I tried with Mexican retailer and it goes untill 10/23 -> flash modem NOH-HLOS.bin, then I get failure

- I replaced the NOH-HLOS.bin in the Mexican rom with the one on the ATT rom

- Flashed again and I get the following

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

On the phone screen I get:

Failed to hab check for boot: 0x56

preflash validation failed for boot

Then I'm stuck on this. When I try the same direcly through fastboot I get FAILED - remote failure - FINISHED on the CMD fastboot window, and I get preflash validation failed for boot on phone's screen.

Any ideas? :(
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Try this, only use the ATT JB fastboot instead of Mex Retail. If that doesn't work then use Mex. We're just going from the bottom up -- our JB roms go ATT, Bell, Mex in security versions; but you've mentioned using Mex before so I'm skipping Bell.

That preflash validation error means you're trying to downgrade on a locked device. If you've attempted a Mex Retail flash with RSD in the past then you'll have to use that fastboot and flash it manually, in which case follow that post exactly except flash the stock recovery (snap-fastboot flash recovery recovery.img -- do it in between the boot and devtree flashes).

I haven't used RSD in a few years now, everything I do is done via our custom fastboot or sbf_flash (for my Defy/Bravo sbf's) on Linux since I don't have a Windows install anymore.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Frank_s_ph:
Thank you very much. I'll try this now.

Do I have to delete the getvar lines on the XML or at following this process it doesn't matter?

EDIT: I tried first with ATT, then with Mex Retail. All works ok till' I get to:

snap-fastboot flash boot boot.img

Then I always get this:

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

And the phone screen says about Security Version Downgraded

preflash validation faliled for boot

failed to hab check for boot: 0x56

Thas this mean I ruined my phone? =/

Hello Guys

I am having Telstra XT925 and i bricked it and after long reading i came up with custom roms and all these stuff, now am running Beanstalk custom ROM 4.3 and am wondering if i can use RSD lite to flash stock firmware for my device as i found it but my device came with android 4.0.4 and now i found Telstra SBF 4.1.2 for xt925, i dont know if i can use it.... also i tried to check if RSD lite will recognize my device or not now i have all necessary drivers installed booted in fastboot and it says fastboot connected but on RSD lite in device properties everything is just has N/A in front of it ! am not comfortable with that, i want to flash stock to be able to take stock backup as i dont have one till now

Device: Telstra XT925

ROM : Beanstalk

Android : 4.3

Recovery : TWRP

Bootloader : Unlocked

Windows: 7 32 bit

RSD version : 6.1.5

Location : Now in Egypt

Please Please Help me Guys
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
I've never seen RSD correctly identify any of my Motorola Phones ever. You're obviously unlocked, so it doesn't matter what you flash, just as long as you skip gpt_main0.bin -- that's the only partition with a security block on it that'll can prevent downgrading. Just remove the line with gpt_main0.bin and the two "oem" lines from the fastboot xml and you'll be fine no matter what fastboot you flash.
[Motorola Atrix HD] atteya.mohamed:
Thanks

Thank u so much buddy

what i understand that i can flash normally using RSD lite even when it is not recognizing my device correctly as u mentioned but i have to remove what u mentioned in the xml file, please correct me if am saying anything wrong or if u would like to clarify anything else to me :) :)
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Yep, That's it.

Alternatively, you can extract the files from the zip and fastboot flash "system.img", "boot.img", and a "fastboot -w".....might have to format the internal sd in recovery afterwards as well.
[Motorola Atrix HD] atteya.mohamed:
More Clarification Needed

Sorry buddy for disturbing you, really am so sorry but i just want to make sure that process will be done successfully before proceeding.

Now i found in XML file 2 lines with oem but cannot find gpt_main0.bin neither in XML nor extracted files and you may check attached pictures for

XML file content.

Extracted Files Names.

The OTA folder has : fs_config - multiconfig-bp-delta.script - updater

I asked you again because i searched for gpt_main0.bin and found out that it gets errors.

Thanks in advance:D
[Motorola Atrix HD] palix18:
Thx work perfect

[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
the file is partition_signed for you, gpt_main0.bin for us -- for the AHD, that's the one partition that's still locked and if you flash a higher version than what's already on your phone, you won't be able to flash the version your stock has ever again.

you also need to remove those get_var lines as well (the ones ya marked with the red dots). I always forget those because I've only ever used fastboot to flash for this platform and that's not something that comes up when ya flash from the terminal.
[Motorola Atrix HD] atteya.mohamed:
Steps!

Thanks Buddy

So to recap i will do the following :

1- Reboot phone into fastboot mode.

2- Connect to RSD lite.

3- RSD will show connected but not recognized properly (shouldn't be problem as we mentioned).

4- I will modify XML file by removing : get_var line ,,, oem 2 lines ,,,, partition_signed line.

5- Choose XML with RSD lite and hit start.

Now i want to know :

Should i do the previous steps without any modification on my current system status like wiping cache, dalvik, system... ?

If this failed for any reason, can i flash a custom ROM again normally ?

Should i remove partition_signed line from XML file and remove the extracted file partition_signed or what exactly ?

Thanks in advance ;)

[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
Depends on where it fails to tell ya the truth....if it fails after flashing recovery then you'll have to fastboot a custom recovery back to flash custom roms. You can always replace the stock recovery with CWM or TWRP and run "md5sum name_of_cwm" and replace the stock's recovery with the custom recoveries md5.....or just remove the recovery line from the xml altogether so you don't end up with stock recovery.....whatever's easiest.

As far as wiping goes, full wipes ahead of time won't hurt one bit -- they might even help. If you have philz cwm, then its a good idea to change the sdcard mount point in advanced settings from blah/0/blah to blah/blah -- forgot the exact terms, just don't have 0 in the line -- that's a 4.2+ thing. The command "fastboot -w" I gave you earlier does this for you.
[Motorola Atrix HD] atteya.mohamed:
Great!

Thank you so much brother , don't know what to say flashed stock again :D 4.0.4 without a SINGLE error :) now i have OTA update to 4.1.2 can i go for it ? and if i did i will lose Root, unlocked bootloader and custom recovery ? or what i will lose exactly and can i knew how to root again using motochopper can i unlocked BL again using unique key Motorola sent to me through fastboot command ?

Thanks in advance :)
[Motorola Atrix HD] skeevydude:
DO NOT TAKE THAT UPDATE, YOU'LL LOSE YOUR UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER AND YOU'LL NEVER GET IT BACK.

Hope that's clear enough.

If your officially unlocked by Moto....I still wouldn't take it just to be safe. There's a flashable zip update with the updated RIL if you search the RAZR HD development forums -- that's the only added benefit from that update (that update includes the patch to block bootloader unlocking so it's not safe to flash)).
[Motorola Atrix HD] atteya.mohamed:
U R The Master ;)

Thank you so much, you R awesome man :) while searching i found out that Motorola keeps making it so hard to unlock its newest releases and heard about the difficulty of root and unlocking Motorola razr HD 4.1.2 update, i didn't make brother ;) look i want take your advice as u look like the master, i want to get a stable, customizable, fast and smooth custom ROM what would u prefer for XT925

Note that i tried : Xenon HD, Beanstalk, Liquidsmooth, Slimbean, MIUI V5, OSE, Paranoid Android, AOKP, CM10.2, Carbon

Beanstal was the most stable ROM and has customization, but it reboots by itself every 48 hrs. and sometimes i suffer drop signal

i tried that already, myth tools works fine but when it comes to put the phone into fastboot mode, it cant do it too. so myth tool just waits on the flashing step..

basic problem i cant the phone into fast boot mode. It is just black screen :crying::crying:
[Motorola Atrix HD] TecknoFreak:
Hold the power button for like 5-10 seconds it should vibrate few times once it stop release it and hold volume up before you see the boot logo. That should take you to recovery or instead hold volume up and down at the same time.

That is if is on stand by at boot.

If not charge your phone to AC and once you see the bootlogo press volume up and hold it for recovery or both volumes for fastboot

Late to the party, but yes, delete both getvar lines, rezip the file, and flash. Thanks to the OP and everyone else for the easy to follow instructions. I was worried at first that my bootloader unlock would be reversed by doing this, but I had the bootloader unlocked warning waiting for me on reboot, so all is well :D Thanks again!

Encryption Unsuccessful

Thank you ... Thank you very much.. I am using Motorola Droid Razr Maxx. I was trying to install custom rom and when I restarted it stuck at Encryption Unsuccessfull. I browsed many websites and tried many solution. I was completely hopeless and even thinking to buy a new phone but I really love this phone. Then I got your steps to install stock android. I followed it. First day it failed as decompress and flash option was grayed out. I unplugged and replug phone but not worked.

Next Day I tried again and guess what it worked this time. It detected my phone and I am able to successfully flash it. I HAVE MY PHONE BACK NOW... HURRAYYYY..

Tons of thanks to you..

Failed boot.img

I tried boot ROM's. ICS and JB. They failed flashing boot.img at step 14/22. The phone display "Sticky bit fastboot" .. Security Version Downgraded ... and didn't copy the boot file. I already take out the "gpt_main0.bin" line from the XML.

Any ideas?

hi all

i bought XT907 (my country is outside US), and it's work with carrier in my country..

and somehow i made a mistake, i used the program that could change network carrier back into US carrier...

and suddenly my phone can't find local carrier..

and it seems (to me) my XT907 is locked with US carrier, i tried to fix from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2166542 to unlock XT907 back.. but it doesn't work...

if i reflash my XT907 back into stock rom, it would fix my XT907 carrier problem ?

It used to be only one xml file. In Atrix HD,it's called MB886xxxx.xml. I think it might be different in Droid Turbo. Did you fail flashing the flash file? I don't see any things regarding getvar line which should be removed in your xml.
[Motorola Atrix HD] PimpJim69:
If u look at the original post and 2nd post, they both say removing something by modifying the .xml file. I don't try to do anything without proper instructions bc I don't want to brick my device. Please help if u can. Much appreciated!
[Motorola Atrix HD] huatz84:
It's getvar line which should be removed. It might be different method using in Droid Turbo. Maybe asking this in Droid Turbo forum will solve the problem. I don't own a Turbo so I can't test removing the lines.

Can I use this method for motorola MB861 korean made?

I tried with many guides and managed to unlock which shows on top left of the screen "unlocked" and used twrp.img as per instructions but I did not get theTwrp interface. I waited for more than 30 minutes for reboot I tried several times then with given kernel. now the phone is bricked. tried the android recovery in boot menu but did not start. error showed magic value mismatch kernel. while trying to keep on fast boot and reboot then it comes back to fastboot. I removed the phone from laptop then tried but it does not recognise the phone. still it can come to boot menu but now battery too low to flash. also battery wont charge. many instructions from different ways made me confused but I assume theres no hardware damage but kernel. Please advice me the best way to unbrick.

I combine the guide for ICS and JB flashing.

- Download the latest driver for Windows HERE and for Mac HERE.

- Download RSD Lite HERE.

- Download stock ICS HERE

- Download stock JB HERE

- You need to open the zip of the rom and find xxx.xml. Open it and notice line like . You should remove both lines to avoid error at flashing. Or you can download my modified xml for ICS HERE. For JB HERE. Replace your original xml.

- Install drivers and RSD Lite to your PC.

- Make sure your battery at least 80% before we proceed.

- Turn off your phone and press both volume keys and power on. You'll enter bootmenu options. Choose AP Fastboot by scrolling with volume down and volume up to select.

- Connect your phone to PC and your PC will detect and install the drivers automatically.

- Open RSD Lite and click ... beside filename. Browse to your ROM and double click it. A menu will popup and choose "uncompress and start flashing".

- It will start flashing once it finishes uncompressing.

- Sit down and relax. :)

If you want to replace stock recovery with CWM,you can do it by replacing THIS over the original one inside the zip. Thanks to skeevy420. :)

Note : You can't downgrade if you are on JB to ICS via RSD Lite. With an unlocked bootloader,you can do that with fastboot.

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] mirage:
If you are one of those Qtek users who never settle for what they have and you want to experiment with cooking some new ROMs made to your individual needs, here's how you can do it.

- First, you need to always download the ROM in an EXE format. You then right click on the downloaded file and you choose to extract files in a specified folder

- Second, you will need to install XDAtools on you PC. After you've done so, run the application.

- A window with a 'source' field' and a 'destination' field will appear. In the 'source' field hit the browser button and pick up the nbf file you had previously extracted from the EXE ROM file. The file is named NK.NBF.

- Click on 'copy' and wait till is finished. You won't be able to verify that the file has been written on your card as the card is not readable.

- Slide the card in the Qtek and press the power button whilst simultaneously you do a soft reset.

- Let the files copy and do NOTHING untill the process is completed.

- Do a battery reset and wait for 60secs before you switch it on again.

Note1: Make sure you don't run out of power. Your battery must be fully charged.

Note2: If you're cooking your ROM in Lumpi Stefan's kichen have in mind that the ROM version 4.01.00 is a T-Mobile edition and it'll cause you various problems with ActiveSync. For a start you won't be able to upgrade to another ROM through your PC. You'll have to do it through an SD. Also the ROM edition 4.00.21 is in German.

Good Luck!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poczynek:
Ok so with this how exactly is it supposed to work? Example: so i installed a custom ROM and then logged into my HTC account and chose my backup. Then it sort of slowly put the apps back - without me knowing when it would finish or if it was actually working in the background. It finally got to the homescreen layout and got it right except for one app.

Can it be done quicker and better through TiBu or another restore program?
