I am having issues actually running the RSD.exe. I have installed the drivers, my computer recognizes my phone, it says USB connected in the Fastboot mode, I am connected to a USB 2 with the factory cable, and I am pretty sure all my files are in the right place. Take a look at me trying to run the HoM bat and let me know if you can come up with a reason for this issue.

http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/c2eihEnFbu
[Droid Ultra General] SamuriHL:
Rsd is not detecting your phone. Load rsd manually... It's the sdl.exe file in the rsd folder. If it's detecting your phone, load the keep data script in the xt1080m folder... Again manually. The see what happens.
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
I just used HoM last night as usual worked great thanks samuri. Anyway to the point on my computer I can only use one USB port for rsd. The other 2 won't show my phone try another USB port. Or you could be chasing your tail when nothing in the HoM is wrong
[Droid Ultra General] SamuriHL:
Driver issues, wrong USB port (it MUST be a USB 2 not USB 3 port), and incorrect cable are extremely common problems. All are outside the realm of the HoM to fix, unfortunately. Some people end up having to find another PC to run it on before they can get it to work. That can be frustrating for sure.
[Droid Ultra General] s_u_n:
Can it fix the radio?

I came across this tool for the first time today while looking for SBF file or some full firmware to re-install on my phone.

I have been troubleshooting my Droid Maxx with Motorola engineering as to why GSM and now, CDMA have stopped working on my phone. There is no service no matter which SIM I try. Earlier some SIMs were working.

I did a factory reset a couple of times and CDMA stopped working after the last factory reset.

So, if factory reset cannot actually reset the modem configuration/ bands, will downloading an SBF and installing it using HoM do something good?

Should I compare the version on the SBF site (Blur_Version.19.5.3.obake_verizon.Verizon.en.US) with the version that I have first?

Using XT1080M, Android 4.4, employee edition phone bought from ebay.
[Droid Ultra General] SamuriHL:
Make SURE you use the correct FXZ for your phone, but, yes, it could help. Factory Reset won't do anything but delete your data partition so that's not really helpful. But the FXZ will restore all partitions to factory defaults so it could help potentially. Although I suspect a physical problem with your device, it's DEFINITELY worth trying an FXZ.
[Droid Ultra General] s_u_n:
Thanks.

Where can I get the 'correct FXZ' for XT1080M? Is that part of the HoM package?
[Droid Ultra General] SamuriHL:
No, I don't include the FXZ's because the HoM is universal and works with any phone with an FXZ. It's definitely BYOF. LOL :D

http://sbf.droid-developers.org/

You should be able to find the correct one for your device there to use with the HoM.
[Droid Ultra General] s_u_n:
Thanks. That is the same site, I was referring to in my earlier post. The website URL contains 'sbf', so I was unsure if the 811 MB mega download called Blur_Version.19.5.3.obake_verizon.Verizon.en.US from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=4 is indeed and FXZ and not an SBF.

But since I am already on Android 4.4, I think that is the correct package to download.

I will just wait for a few days for the soak test file for 4.4.2.

If that does not resolve, then I will try this FXZ. I hope I can still install this FXZ that I mentioned above, after upgrading to 4.4.2 (soak test OTA update).
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
If you take the update you won't be able to use the above Fxz you will brick your phone. You will have to wait until the 4.4.2 Fxz is released. I would just use the fxz now and see if it fixes the problem. If it doesn't than the 4.4.2 update won't either and you have a hardware issue.
[Droid Ultra General] SamuriHL:
SBF is a hold over from the pre-dual core phones and the site wasn't changed. All phones after the Droid X2 are using FXZ's. So that is the correct site and likely the correct FXZ.

HOWEVER, the idea of "I'll wait til 4.4.2 drops and if not try to use the FXZ"...NO. That's why I STRESSED getting the correct FXZ. In many cases you can't downgrade to a previous version due to security. So if you take the OTA, there is a very good chance that you'll be stuck there. Eventually an FXZ for 4.4.2 will get released...usually a few weeks after the OTA drops, but, I'd FXZ the current version now before the 4.4.2 OTA drops. Using my Keep Data script there's no real reason not to since it doesn't delete your data partition.
[Droid Ultra General] s_u_n:
I have to thank you.

After two months of troubleshooting with Motorola engineering team, and with no success, now for the first time, my phone is working on GSM.

I used House of Moto 2.0 with the FXZ available on the SBF website.

The first page instructions are confusing. The part of the support files is not clear.

I actually went ahead and installed Java and used the script to generate the support files for the XT1080. Out of the box, I got some "file not found" message.

So, after spending almost 30 minutes, I finally got the support files in place. The actual flashing of the FXZ was a piece of cake.

Then I used the 4 corner activation bypass technique similar to the one shown here for the older Razr Maxx.

Now, GSM is working on two different networks at least.
[Droid Ultra General] GigaMill:
Hello,

I'm looking for a guide to downgrading with House Of Moto by SamuriHL.

To be specific, I'm looking to downgrade my Droid Maxx from 4.4 - 19.6.3 to 4.4 - 19.5.3 so that I can use JCase's newly released root method.
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
You will have to wait for samuri to comment I'm not sure if the HoM can do it or not. I have an unlocked phone and haven't tried. I would guess if you can fxz down to 53 then you could use the HoM.
[Droid Ultra General] SamuriHL:
Correct. It seems that's a possible downgrade as the security wasn't changed. Load up the HoM and use the KEEP DATA script with the 19.5.3 FXZ. Alternatively, if you want a quick and easy method, you could do this:

o) Grab my RSD Script Generator: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/45349-rsd-script-generator/

o) Generate the scripts for the 19.5.3 FXZ

o) Flash the KEEP DATA or UNIVERSAL script with RSD
[Droid Ultra General] CrazyRussianXDA:
There should be a size limit on images in signatures because ↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑↑ that is obnoxious and serves no purpose
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
Well since there isn't a limit mind your business. Your post contributed nothing to my thread except to make you feel better about yourself.
[Droid Ultra General] SamuriHL:
You're welcome.
[Droid Ultra General] GigaMill:
Thank you kindly, SamuriHL.

I'll try that method and see what comes back.

Additionally, when I downloaded the FXZ for my current version (19.6.3), It came without/I ended up without "Darwin, Linux, and Windows" folders as you described, so I must've made a mistake somewhere. Though, the FXZ for 19.5.3 came with said folders as seen in the screenshot below.
[Droid Ultra General] SamuriHL:
Yea, for some stupid reason they removed them in the newer FXZ's. Idiots. Just use the ones from 19.5.3 if you need to use the House of Moto with your newer FXZ's. At some point I'll grab them and put together a package that can be downloaded when installing the HoM. If using the RSD Script Generator, you don't need those folders to be in your FXZ...it'll generate RSD scripts for use in RSD.
[Droid Ultra General] GigaMill:
And of course now that I've received some help, ADB won't see my device :crying:

Welp, now i have something eventful to do on my friday off, lol
[Droid Ultra General] SamuriHL:
For flashing you don't want to be doing adb stuff. You need to be in AP Fastboot mode. House of Moto flashes with either RSD or fastboot depending on what you select. RSD has its own fastboot built in, but, does require the phone to be in fastboot mode, as well.
[Droid Ultra General] GigaMill:
Well yes, I understand. However, when I being HoM and select KEEP DATA it proceeds with:

'Ready to flash...

Press any key to continue . . .'

(key pressed)

(Computer asks for permissions)

(permission granted)

(RSD opens then closes swiftly with no phone info on left panel)

'Flashing: KEEP-DATA_xt1080.xml

Press any key to continue . . .'

No change and the process is nearly instantaneous. Therefore, I'm assuming either the devices isn't detected or I've done something wrong with the FXZ to where there is nothing for HoM to change, thus it being instant and not displaying any information on the device itself.

Would it be bold or even rude to ask if you have Teamviewer and a moment to spare to help resolve this?
[Droid Ultra General] SamuriHL:
Yea I don't do housecalls, sorry. But if it's doing that, it means one of a few things...RSD doesn't like the script, RSD doesn't have permission to run (try opening it manually in the HoM/RSD directory and see if it opens ok), or it's not detecting your phone in AP Fastboot mode. Which is still nothing to do with adb. Alternatively you can try switching HoM to fastboot mode and it'll execute the fastboot commands. Then you can copy and paste the output of that in this thread and I can see what's going on.
[Droid Ultra General] GigaMill:
Well, fastboot mode was far more effective.

Thanks again SamuriHL.
[Droid Ultra General] SamuriHL:
Sweet! Glad you got it working. Enjoy!

HOM 2.0

[MENTION=2812087]SamuriHL[/MENTION]:

I have used HoM to flash a full FXZ (19.5.x) on my Droid Maxx. Unfortunately last month I took the small system update (19.6.x).

Now, in order for me to root the phone, I need to downgrade back to 19.5.x.

There is a FXZ by NWKENT which allows us to keep data intact.

Question is: Can we somehow use HoM to flash that FXZ and still keep data intact?

I know I will backup the entire internal memory and photos and music is already backed up, but I am not sure about the data inside each app that I have been saving (e.g. configuration and preferences and customizations in each app).
[Droid Ultra General] SamuriHL:
Keep data script might in fact keep data, yea. ;) :D
[Droid Ultra General] pyromaniac1:
Forgive a noobish question, but what does this exactly do?
[Droid Ultra General] SamuriHL:
Performs a magic trick. :D It helps people flash FXZ's to their phone in various ways. Basically it generates custom scripts for the FXZ for various functions (FULL flash with data wipe, KEEP DATA flash, UNIVERSAL flash for downgrading unlocked phones, etc) and helps you easily flash them onto your phone. It works with any phone that has an FXZ available for it. Which is pretty much most modernish Moto phones.
[Droid Ultra General] SamuriHL:
FYI, for Windows users that want to see what the House of Moto 3.0 is going to be like, I've created a new utility that is going to be the base code for one part of it.

http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/48904-rsd-flasher-prototype-windows-only/

Right now it's a prototype as I'm still adding functionality to it, but, it's functional and can be used. It's super simple to use, too. You basically:

o) Install RSD and the Moto USB drivers

o) Extract your FXZ

o) Download the RSDFlasher.jar file

o) Run the RSDFlasher.jar

o) The very first time you run it, it'll prompt you for the location of SDL.exe (the RSD executable in your RSD installation folder)

o) It'll then ask for the location of your FXZ XML file (something like VZW_XT926_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10_1FF.xml as an example)

o) At this point it'll present you with buttons for the FULL, KEEP DATA, and UNIVERSAL flashing options

o) Connect your phone in AP Fastboot mode to a USB 2.0 port and select one of the options

A script will be auto-generated and RSD will automagically kick off and flash it for you. Typing out these instructions was probably 10x harder than using the program. There will be more functionality to come. I'm also going to work on the fastboot side of flashing in the FXZ-Flasher prototype in the coming weeks. Once I have both sides feature complete, I will be creating a completely revamped java version of the House of Moto...tentatively released as version 3.0.
[Droid Ultra General] SamuriHL:
Just to let people know I've split the house of moto and my new rsd Flasher program. House of moto is now fastboot mode only. Rsd users should use the new rsd Flasher program. House of moto 3.0 was released today and is quite different. Setup is much easier than in the past and as I mentioned, it's fastboot mode only which further simplifies it. It's almost completely rewritten from the ground up and will need to be clean installed. Installing over a previous release is not supported. Enjoy the new tools!
[Droid Ultra General] Kickball:
Hi! Will this method work on a Motorola Driod from Verizon running 2.2.3???
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
I think so but I will let samuri take this one. Here is a better question how the hell are you still on 2.2.3 :)

sent from "my kungfu is stronger than yours" XT1080
[Droid Ultra General] SamuriHL:
When you say Droid... What exact phone do you mean?
[Droid Ultra General] TolaSkamp:
Hi everyone

I have a Droid Mini running on Android 4.4 (19.5.3), would this process allow me to root my device?
[Droid Ultra General] SamuriHL:
Nope. The House of Moto doesn't have anything to do with rooting. It's about restoring factory images to your phone. And the concept of "downgrading" to a version that can be rooted does not work on most locked bootloaders, either.

My problem fixed!

So I sometime ago I was participating on this thread trying to fix my razr m or xt907 (as your prefer). Earlier on this thread I was told that I was lost, I bricked my phone and they were kind of right because I bricked my phone, but! I wasn't lost :D

Here is the solution for my problem http://mrbluecoat.blogspot.com/2014/07/tutorial-restore-verizon-droid-razr-m.html I just can tell you....it works! My phone is working again :D:D:D

It's really easy to follow the 12 steps described on the link, however If any of you guys has any problem I would be more than happy to help.

One more thing, newbies don't be afraid to ask, cause I once was a newbie and I'm not anymore. :fingers-crossed::good:
[Droid Ultra General] SamuriHL:
That guide is what the House of Moto automates.

my phone got bricked..here is screeenshot.. imgur.com/5dGP7Fq
[Droid Ultra General] sd_shadow:
bricked using house of moto?

device model number?

firmware version used to flash

Windows version?
[Droid Ultra General] DeXtern00b:
Still no luck

I tried house of moto but it always get stuck at writing flashme.bat and i run the bat file after closing the houseofmoto.jar and everything seems fine but after that i get error " no valid piv block in sp for system " plz help me i have droid ultra SU6-7.7

:( :( Any Help Will Be Appreciated
[Droid Ultra General] metalgear6:
Same issue

i am having the same issue, my house of moto looks identical to yours, all my files should be correct i have triple checked them.. also my FXZ in houseofmoto dir is FXZ_xt1080, i have all script files and everything placed correctly, still stuck at <waiting for device>
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
My instructions are for RSD not fastboot are you trying to fastboot the fxz?
[Droid Ultra General] metalgear6:
i am booted into ap fastboot, and am trying to flash the FXZ so i can stop the bootloop issue after accidentally clicking install now on an OTA i got the morning
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
Ok let me stop you right there get out of fastboot use RSD save data and you will be done back to normal with all your data intact.
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
I never use fastboot in house of moto rsd does the job perfectly with no issues. If I fastboot I do it manually with cmd prompt I could not help you with House of moto and fastboot never used that method.
[Droid Ultra General] metalgear6:
so how do i use house of moto and rsd then? sorry, not used to these new devices, i was great with my Droid 1 lol.
[Droid Ultra General] daca1001:
Actually fast boot does work. That was the option I chose for snapdragon. The key I think is I also went to the HOUSE of Moto web site and in their instruction there is a step to copy the fastboot scripts and rsd scripts folders to your HOUSEOFMOTO folder

The other thing I think people are missing is the HOUSEOFMOTO folder needs to be off your main partition (C:/). Also the OBAKE XML files need to be under the HOUSEOFMOTO folder. You mention that in your instructions and it helped me. The attached is a screen shot of the location and files I have for the HOUSE OF MOTO directory on my laptop. There maybe some extra stuff in there (me be anal) but it appeared to have worked for me

BIGV5150 - please correct me if I am wrong. Wouldn't be the first time. :)
[Droid Ultra General] metalgear6:
i figured that part out, *facepalm* but it ran a script and seemed to work but did not. phone still bootlooping
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
Well I am assuming you have downloaded House of moto and set it up correctly since this thread is exactly about doing that.

Open house of moto run the bat file chose your phone make sure flash mode says RSD it will look like this in a cmd prompt screen.

SamuriHL's House of Moto [xt1080] 1.4

FXZ: FXZ_xt1080

FLASH MODE: RSD

Choose option:

1) FULL_xt1080

2) KEEP-DATA_xt1080

C) Change Flash Mode

P) Change Phone Model

E) Exit

Please make a selection:

Choose 1) or 2)

Then this screen will pop up follow instructiions below and after you press any key to start RSD will open and flash either the full FXZ or the Save data FXZ and bam your done it's that simple.

Please ensure your phone is:

o] Charged

o] Connected to USB using your OEM cable

o] USB drivers are installed

o] Booted to AP Fastboot mode: [power off, hold volume down and press power]

Ready to flash...

Press any key to continue . . .

YOU HAVE TO BE IN AP FASTBOOT TO RSD
[Droid Ultra General] metalgear6:
tried, but still isnt working correctly here's a screenshot of my files
[Droid Ultra General] metalgear6:
i did just that, multiple times, and seemed to flash but i dont think it did properly, as my phone still stuck in bootloop. im going to restart computer to make sure the drivers have fully installed and try again
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
I have not used the fastboot option in house of moto so I can not comment on fastboot or where to put files I use rsd option. I have the house of moto on my desktop and it works fine It is not in my C:/

Guys I am no expert here but I think we can figure out any issue you may be having with a little trial and error I have just used this so many times I got good with it.
[Droid Ultra General] Einsteindks:
One huge Huge HUGE caveat; this will NOT return you back after a successful update to the November OTA. Bad juju in store, if you dare!

fat-fingered and Maxx-ed out.
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
What do mean flash does the rsd window open and show the fxz being installed it will tell you what step it is on such as step 1/16 nand so on at the end the phone will reboot and rsd will say it is rebooting. After the phone reboots it should be good to go.
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
1000% correct you would have to wait for the new fxz and install the new fxz in the house of moto. This is for the 12.7.7 os not if you completed the update. I am not sure if this will work with a botched install either meaning you have a new os number but not the new basband. From what I have heard if you took the update and you were rooted and boot loop you are ok. it's just the updater trying to update but you have no recovery for it to update it will boot loop like 7 times or so and then boot up normal. This is what I have heard.
[Droid Ultra General] metalgear6:
the bootloop just never stopped, it still is bootlooping, and when i flashed (or attempted to flash) the FXZ, it opened rsd for a quick second then closed and house of moto looks just like the last attachment i posted with my files. it just says hit any key to continue and takes me right back to the option menu
[Droid Ultra General] Einsteindks:
I had an unsuccessful update, but it all 'looked' like it took. I took a shot on the word 'unsuccessful' I lucked out. Maybe failing at the permissions step was key, but it did fail. FXZ with HoM (kept data...duh! ;)), then ran the update in stock recovery.

fat-fingered and Maxx-ed out.
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
In your screen shot I dont see the xml files did you go to the house of moto and download them? if not you cant rsd. Go here---->http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/28162-house-of-moto/ at the bottom of the first post you will see the rsd and fastboot scripts for the xt1080. download unzip and put in the root of the house of moto it will work then if you do it right.

Look at my instructions in set 5) Add the scripts for your device to your rsd_scripts and/or fastboot_scripts directories. See Adding support for an xtYY device. The scripts are at the bottom of the first post under support just find your phone download and execute, it will put them in the proper file in the house of moto.

Just to be clear after you download the file it may not install the scripts anymore I used the first house of moto if it doesn't install them to the house of moto then manually install them (cut and paste in the house of moto folder).

Scratch that give me a minute I am going to cut and paste every file I have so you can see every file and what I have in it
