Thanks Benz...Im pretty sure that all my problems come from the Stock 4.1.2 installation but Im kinda confused since Ive started trying to flash the BR one and as it has failed several times I changed my mind to the DE (it has one of the newest kernel available atm as well). So Id like to stick with the DE but Im not sure about editing the DE .xml file!

---------- Post added at 04:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:35 PM ----------

Here was my last attempt...errors (as described above) all over the place while flashing it though!

U are trying to install European cee 4.1.2?

Use rsd lite 6.1.5 while on ap fastboot.

Edit xml, take get Var out, gpt, tz lines

Then flash modified OTA zip from sdcard using cmw 6.0.4.8
[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
Im trying to flash Stock JB4.1.2 Retail DE, Im using MFastboot and Ive tried with Philz 6.4.3.8, CMW6.0.4.4 and TWRP 2.8.0.

Please take a look at the modified file Ive posted above and at the Fastboot shell screen shots...maybe you can find anomalies!

Thanks a lot!

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------

Just for more information, Ive just flashed via custom recovery the Epinters CM11 KK4.4.4 and GAPPS...it has been flashed without any sort of errors!

The thing is that Im really eager to have a KKBL so, I'll still keep trying to complete this process...if you guys dont mind helping me to figure it out!

:fingers-crossed:
[RAZR HD General] hbenz2008:
Use rsd lite 6.1.5 , simple and solid. Just run it and report back. Small download... Remove. Tz and gpt lines.

---------- Post added at 03:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

Xml looks good
[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
ok then, Stock JB4.1.2DE Flashed with RSD Lite went ok without any kind of errors. Cell phone rebooted and configured already. I'll MFastboot the Custom recovery and proceed to flash the OTA. BRB
[RAZR HD General] hbenz2008:
Dude, flash cmw 6.0.4.9

Put blur on SD

Flash it

Done.

Avoid fastboot if it's giving you problem
[RAZR HD General] djvita:
I don't need to modify the kk ota? I have a different one than the op it's for Puerto Rico
[RAZR HD General] hbenz2008:
Flash it

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

Worse it will fail

---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

I have done the modified one, afterwards some members confirmed that now that it has been released, it not needed to modify it
[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
Yeah...mfastboot is kinda causing some problems here! After 4 attempts Ive managed to instal TWRP 2.8.0.0 using mfastboot. Cellphone didnt booted into OS and instead I force booted it into TWRP and proceed to flash the modified OTA.

It has failed as you can see in the attached screenshot!

CWM 6.0.4.0 can be used to install KK OTA? I mean...while Im still on Stock JB4.1.2 Retail DE?

Can you elaborate a few lines about what is "Blur"?

Thanks a lot for your time and attention mate!

Edit: IM sure itll be a noob question but Im not used to RSD lite...can I flash the custom recovery from RSD lite as well?
[RAZR HD General] hbenz2008:
Yes, while on jb 4.1.2 u need a jb recovery to flash

---------- Post added at 04:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 PM ----------

So twrp u using won't work as it is for kk.

Flash cmw 6.0.4.9, flash your OTA.

Root

Reboot

Set up phone then flash twrp you have or twrp 7
[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
Bro, It's getting confusing, let me try to explain myself.

1. Ive tried to flash JB TWRP 2.7.1 using fast boot. It has failed. I've tried to flash CWM recovery 6..0.4.4 and it failed again, I tried to install Philz touch and it failed as well, so I went back to TWRP and it magically worked. I typed the command to reebot and it got stuck at the M logo. I force rebooted it and immediately got into TWRP JB 2.7.1.1 recovery and proceeded to flash the modified OTA.

It failed (see attached pic), so I've tried to reboot, still got stuck at M logo. Rebooted into bootloader and reflash the Stock Retail DE with RSD lite again. Everything went well, cell phone is configured and ready to another try!
[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
Taking a close look at the TWRP red error and realizing that it is the excatlly the modified updater.zip, it just came to my mind that the error could be it! This has been the most recurrent error Ive faced while doing this procedure, no mater what custom recovery I tried!
[RAZR HD General] hbenz2008:
Need a jb recovery man
[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
Stock or custom bro?!? Because as long as I know, all the custom recoveries Ive tried are for JBBL!
[RAZR HD General] djvita:
so just to confirm benz the kk ota sent by moto i can flash in philz touch jb and from there proceed toboot to sotck kk, and then flash twrp kk and then install Cm11kkbl
[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
As far as I know, theoretically, yes you can!

Edit: Saying "sent by moto", do you mean downloaded via OTA by the cell phone itself? If that is the case, the correct answer is no you cant!

If you are going to download an OTA posted here, paste it to your external SD card and flash it with a JB custom recovery from there, right over a full stock JB, in that case, the answer is, theoretically, yes you can. Just be sure that both full stock JB and the OTA KK are the same!
[RAZR HD General] hbenz2008:
Yes sir

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:15 PM ----------

Keep in mind guys, need to have a clean 4.1.2. Don't root before flashing OTA zip
[RAZR HD General] djvita:
now ya'll are making me confused, hence my hesitation

I was running cm11

I flashed reatil PR jelly bean

once installed

phone downloaded an official OTA.

i flashed a jelly bean philz touch (the one in the OP)

so do i flash it in recovery as is or do i have to modify anything to get stock kk?

from then ill set it up to check everything works and move on to cm11 with twerp
[RAZR HD General] hbenz2008:
Go for it
[RAZR HD General] djvita:
i rooted it since i needed a daily driver so ill factory reset and start over flash the ota will let you guys know how it goes
[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
Thanks bro, thats the way Ive been doing. After several attempts, this time Ill give the OTA downloaded by the cell phone a try...I dont know what else to do anymore!

:crying:

---------- Post added at 07:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

...annnnd, of course, it failed as again!

The OTA update downloaded through the cell phone always fails around 25-30% without any sort of error message.

The OTA update flashed using a JB custom recovery always fail around 25-30% as well with some different errors each time.

Ive went through the whole process almost 30 times already since last saturday!
[RAZR HD General] hbenz2008:
Did you try the modified OTA?
[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
I totally understand you bro but take a deep breath since you'll have to start all over again!

The OTA dowloaded through the cell phone, MUST be installed on a totally stock compatible ROM, without root and using a stock recovery. After the OTA download is finished, there will be a prompt asking you if you want to install it, go ahead and click Ok. The cell phone will do the rest (in my case, it always fails around 25-30% without any sort of error message).

The other way is to download the OTA some guys has posted here, paste it do external SD card, flash a clean stock JB4.1.2 , boot, configure cell phone without adding nor deleting nothing, install a custom recovery, boot again, reboot into custom recovery and from there install the OTA you pasted to the external SD card. (in my case it fails around 35-30% with different sort of error messages...Ive went through this process around 40 times since last saturday!!!)
[RAZR HD General] djvita:
i dont want to download again so ill just push the ota and flash philz jb on that right now
[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
GL bro, let us know how it goes!
[RAZR HD General] Hydr0id:
So, I finally am on KK, however, went to install twrp 2.8.1.0 for kkbl and got the android with the warning logo. Any help?
[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
Great stuff!

Have it booted ok?

TWRP flash went ok? If so, wipe data/factory reset, cache and delvik a few times.

Can you please tell us the exact steps you took?
[RAZR HD General] djvita:
Well it failed in recovery something about vanquish_u ill try full stock tomorrow I'm going to cm11 this evening amd rsdlightling back tomorrow

Edit cm11 does this too it must be the device name i placed in rsdlite fastboot vanquish_U S gonna leave the default one
[RAZR HD General] Hydr0id:
On fastboot I did this:

Fastboot flash recovery ****.img

Fastboot reboot

After the device reboots I turn it off to get to recovery, just to see the android with red logo of warning. Apparently that means the installation didn't work and the stock recovery remains there, so there's must be something I'm doing wrong.
[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
Are you sure the KK official flashing process went ok? I mean, have the phone booted into the OS?

If so, make sure you have installed a KK compatible custom recovey and not a JB one!
[RAZR HD General] Hydr0id:
Yes, the phone boots to the OS, I used TWRP 2.8.1.0 for msm8960 which is KKBL.
[RAZR HD General] djvita:
Try fastboot reboot recovery to force it
[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
...in the meantime, here I am going to another round!

I'll RSD lite flash stock retail DE a-ga-in!

Brb

---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:20 AM ----------

I'm really into doing it but I really, truly can't get it...I can't see why the error while flashing the OTA...I've even unzipped it in order to check if the modified updater was there...and it is there!

So odd...it has been almost a 1 week nightmare!

Edit: TWRP 2.8.0.0 JBBL already intalled...everything is ready to receive the Retail OTA DE Stock. So frustrating to know that it will fail on me again!!!
[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
Ok guys, believe me or not, Im pretty sure Ive became the most experienced man on this forum about this process and after researching, trying and failing several times, Im pretty much 100% sure that the error should/must be on the updater script because the process seem to always fail on that step!

Itd be great if the script creator can take a look at it!

---------- Post added at 04:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 AM ----------

Ive tried the whole process several times since last week. Everything went well and smoothly until the OTA flash via custom recovery! It always fail at this step and the error message always talk about "Updater binary in zip" and this is the modified updater zip from the OP.

So, Im almost 100% sure that the problem is related/caused by that file and it definitely need to be reviewed! Ive the file isolated but I dont know how to open/edit it, nor what it actually does or the difference between what does it does compared to the original updater file...Im kinda clueless/helpless!

After one week battling with this, Im desperate already and Im just in the verge of trying this procedure

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53965551&postcount=3269

What do you guys think?!?

---------- Post added at 05:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:45 AM ----------

The other possibility is if there is someone kind and with the enough expertise in the subject to take a look at this updater file in order to find any anomalies?

https://mega.co.nz/#!x1YmSQoI!-6OU77-xBNNFODwNOyE30kpnW1AsderimMrRBlOf3bU

P.S.: This link is to the original OTA with the stock script. I'm not sure if the problem is in the modified updater script and or if it has something to do with those 3 lines we have to delete from the XML file!

Let's keep this simple man. Just flash 4.1.2 European CEE RTFR. download from post 238 Kabaldan zip

[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
Thanks bro, as I was about to drop the towel...Ill give it a try for sure!

The European CEE RTFR is the following one

9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-22_USERSIGNED_S7_UCAVANQU02NA02F.0R_LSAVNQJBRTFR_P007_A004_CFC

Now Im just wondering if isnt the Orphees updater script the same that guy who posted the RE DE OTA used on it as well?
[RAZR HD General] hbenz2008:
Correct 4.1.2

Orphee updater script is the original, use it.

[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
Done...it failed again...at least this time its a new error (see attached screen shot) and it seems to be in the very beggining while attempting to read the OTA modified .zip.

I have done the following

1. Downloaded official RE FR JB 4.1.2

(9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-22_USERSIGNED_S7_UCAVANQU02NA02F.0R_LSAVNQJBRTFR_P 007_A004_CFC)

2. Deleted the Get var, Partition_partiton and TZ lines

3. Falshed it via RSD Lite

4. Booted into system and configured it

5. Flashed TWRP 2.8.0.0JB Custom recovery

6. Downloaded Kalabdan OTA RTFR

7. Downloaded Orphees script

8. Opened Kalbadan OTA .zip in 7zip, changed updater script stock file for the Orphees modified one and ziped it again

9. Copied it to External SD card and attempted to flash it

Now the questions/doubts/maybes

2.Was it needed to delete those lines (Get var, Partition_partition and TZ)?

8.Since the error seems to be .zip reading realted, was it needed any special instructions/settings in 7Zip in order to re zip the OTA folder with the modified Orphees script so my xt925 could recognize the .zip file? Im asking this because there was several configurations and I just choose 7zip to zip it again in the .zip format.
[RAZR HD General] hbenz2008:
your issue is with recovery man. Use cmw 6.0.4.9 , flash the OTA ZIP, root, reboot, set up, then flash your beloved twrp.
[RAZR HD General] djvita:
is this for me? i tried twrp jb and got the same error as above. is 6.0.4.9 this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2747535

says kkbl only. and the op's link is down too.

im just going to download and apply direct.
[RAZR HD General] hbenz2008:
that will work for you too, give it a shot. You may get weird color screen **** while on jb and on recovery but it gets the job done
[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
Soo annoying!

Tried using PhilzT custom recovery KK and JB. Attached are the screen shots with the errors.

Now Im trying the OTA downloaded via wi-fi through the cell phone itself. Ive tried it already with KK RE OTAs BR and DE and it always failed while attempting to install. Lets see what happen with the OTE RE FR though!

Im really frustrated atm!

Edit

Ive tryied to find cmw 6.0.4.9 since the OPs link is down. Due to that I went with PhilzTouch KK...green screen,failed as well as you could see!
[RAZR HD General] hbenz2008:
you are almost there man
[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
LOL...thanks for the motivation man! Unfortunately I cant see the light from here...I feel like Im kinda stuck...it seems that Im only able to install rooms that dont touch the within the same kernel/bootloader family (if that makes senso to you)...its like I cant go to KK BL for some reason or Ill only be able to do it when an flashable RSD KK became available!!

What do you think about that procedure I asked you about like 12 hour ago?

About the KitKat_4.4_SOAK_TEST_BOOTLOADER_RTFR_CWM_CM11_post_1st_july_Only

Is it too risky? Worth it?
[RAZR HD General] hbenz2008:
did you try that thread "make your xt 925 updatable? where the cee4.1.2 can get updated over the air. Try that one man.

Not sure about the solution you want to try, i will check

u can also try this recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.4.4-xt925.img
[RAZR HD General] djvita:
oh man, i have both twrp and philz did not read your post for philz and isntead installed kk twrp, and doesnt register touches, nor do the hardware buttons work. so i have to wait for the phone to die until i can reflash, adb device not found, fastboot waiting for device. recovery doesnt allow. so have to wait.
[RAZR HD General] RMarques:
Ive never been able to install the OTAs, in fact, the first time I migrated to CM was exactly because I wasnt able to get the installation of the OTA done!

Ive tried the CWM 6.0.4.4 already...same errors.

This is the procedure Im talking about

from there i just accepted the update in about phone / system updates

let that download, and then accept the upgrade.
[RAZR HD General] Hydr0id:
Made it with fastboot, a pain in the ass. This was the process:

Fastboot devices (to confirm the device was detected)

Fastboot flash recovery twrpkk.img

Fastboot reboot (here when the phone turned off I had to quickly press the vol+ button to get the menu where recovery is)

If you fail to do it quickly, the stock recovery auto installs itself.
