The problem here is when it says things like "failed to load GPT" (I bolded in quoted text). GPT is the index of partitions. source

To fix your issue, you need to find out how to replace the either corrupt or missing GPT on your device. I'm short on time right now, and a quick search didn't help much, but try searching for how to flash a GPT onto your xt907, and find a GPT to flash.
[Droid RAZR M General] cisz8:
Haven't been able to find anything to enable GPT flash.
[Droid RAZR M General] immadeofpixels27:
I found a stock 4.4.2 firmware and pulled the gpt.bin out. It's attached in a zip file. Unzip before flashing.

fastboot flash partition gpt.bin

The MD5 is 43BD4DF4332A5A2B4B6706CC062B348C in case you want to double check.

Change the extension of the attached file to .bat, put it with the rest of the files you extract from this downloaded zip, then run it. It should return you to stock.

If even that doesn't work, try this tutorial with more updated firmware (this is not 1st option because it will put you on 183.46.15 and lock your BL)
[Droid RAZR M General] cisz8:
Thanks for trying to help. The stock file looks like something I tried manually from "Mr. Blue Coat". As soon as I saw the "fastboot -w" I thought it wouldn't succeed because that command fails when I try it manually.

The RSD lite version is 6.1.6. The newest version is 6.2.4. I've tried flashing using the 6.2.4 version and it fails and gives the message that it failed on gpt.bin, but I tried it again with the rom you included and got the same result. I assume you weren't thinking the 6.1.6 version might be different?

I would think there would be a way to reformat the device completely and then reinstall the os but I haven't found much about how to do it.

I used to have linux (debian) on a computer. I was thinking to install it again. Some people have tried to access a bricked phone through linux.
[Droid RAZR M General] immadeofpixels27:
I meant the version of Verizon's ROM you were on before you tried to root/bl unlock and got bricked. Flashing GPT.bin is reformatting the device.

At this point I'm out of ideas. Maybe do

fastboot oem?

and see if any oem commands you can use look like they might help.
[Droid RAZR M General] cisz8:
Actually I wasn't trying to unlock the bl. The phone was working fine but suddenly would no longer boot. I don't know why that happened, but that's why I started trying to flash it. It originally was able to go into the recovery screen and fastboot mode. Unfortunately, the House of Moto tutorial on how to unbrick said to insert code into their program if you have an xt907 snapdragon. I only knew the phone as "droid razr m" at that point so I went ahead and flashed it with the wrong rom.

After that it would only go to fastboot.

"fastboot oem" doesn't bring any response when I try it.
[Droid RAZR M General] immadeofpixels27:
Thanks for telling me exactly what happened. That's helpful to know.

Use the fasboot OEM command with the question mark.
[Droid RAZR M General] cisz8:
"Fastboot oem?" brings up the help file that comes up when it doesn't recognize a command. There's an expanded help file that comes up with "fastboot help" but it doesn't have much more than the regular file and there's no oem commands.
[Droid RAZR M General] immadeofpixels27:
Well darn. At this point I wouldn't be able to help any more unless I had the device and could tinker with it myself.

Best advice from me is just start your own thread in the help/q&a section and see if somebody else knows what to do.

Good luck :)

Sorry bro I'm on 4.4.2 ;( sorry worng info give u before :(
[Droid RAZR M General] DiamondJohn:
From my understanding, its almost irelevant. If you have taken an upgrade to a newer bootloader, that is now your starting point. ie if you have upgraded to a bootloader that cannot be unlocked, you cant downgrade to one that can. I am talking without any real knowledge here, so please, anyone correct me.:o

That would take investigation (eg knowing your current bootloader and the one that Verizon has as its latest) and maybe asking Verizon or maybe someone here has experienced the exact same. Personally, I would unlock your bootloader before accepting any OTA. But I personally would only run a custom ROM. Currently on 6.0.1 when the official for mine (XT905) is 4.2 or something. We never got KitKat
[Droid RAZR M General] DragonFire1024:
Unfortunately I got KitKat, and long before I was in possession of this phone. I'm afraid no bootloader unlock for me. I emailed Motorola, but I don't expect a reply.
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
sunshine app can unlock the bootloader if you want to spend $20

no Motorola will not unlock the bootloader
[Droid RAZR M General] DiamondJohn:
Told you you would get more knowledgeable responses in this thread. ;) See, I had no idea sunshine was for botoloader, off the top of my head, I thought it was for root. Being in Aus:cowboy: with an xt905, it was never an issue.:D
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
Its really the Kernel that's the issue

if kernel is older than July 2014, Motopocalypse will unlock the bootloader

newer, only Sunshine will work
[Droid RAZR M General] DragonFire1024:
Why is that? I mean I keep hearing "the bootloader CAN'T be unlocked", when clearly it can be. Motorola won't unlock it, there are allegedly no exploits to unlock it, yet I can pay some guy $20 dollars and he'll unlock it for me? Sounds a bit fishy if you ask me...and I mean the whole concept. Seems like this can literally be done by a flip of a switch, so what is the issue? Why is it so hard to unlock it again, but not hard enough if I have $20?

Kinda defeats the whole purpose of "open source" when you have both sides of the aisle holding your phone for ransom. If $20 dollars is enough for it to be unlocked, why not allow everyone to do it...for free?

Thank you very much for your help.
[Droid RAZR M General] DiamondJohn:
You connect a USB stick via a USB OTG cable, then within TWRP there is a "select storage" button in the backup screen. In there you can select the destination for the backup, which should include USB, if you are using a TWRP that supports it; such as the one I built specifically for that feature, and to get the latest version of TWRP at the time.
[Droid RAZR M General] superunbricker:
I see, I don't have a custom recovery yet, I wanted to backup first. by the way I can't flash your TWRP. I've tried stock recovery with no luck. Tried using stock recovery, ADB, but can't find the way, surely I'm doing something wrong, couldn't figure out yet.
[Droid RAZR M General] DragonFire1024:
Yes you have to have the bootloader unlocked and you have to flash either the KitKat or the Jelly Bean twrp recovery depending on whether your device is on KitKat or Jellybean. You will not be able to flash or boot any kind of custom recovery unless your bootloader is unlocked the only thing you will be able to do is root your device. Currently the only way to unlock the xt907 is to Google 'sunshine bootloader unlock.' Find the APK download it and install it for 25 bucks you can unlock the xt907 in a matter of seconds. And you don't even have to do anything but download the app and pay for the code. You can thank sunshine because their app allows you to do all this without having to factory reset your device.
[Droid RAZR M General] superunbricker:
Great, so far I've rooted and debloated. From what I've read, it comes with certain radio restricctions, on GSM bands. Before I go through the Radio comm procedure, I'd like to know if it's necessary. I've been using it on GSM for quite a while now, but sometimes I have battery drain and I suspect it's due to it's inability to adapt to available bands. If you can shine a light on this I'll appreciate.

Thank you

UPDATE: After failed try of TRWP flashing, my phone keeps booting to fastmode. So I've tried both the adb method mentioned in the first page of this thread, and the button combination method to get out of fastboot. None worked. If I turn the phone off, it starts in AP Fastboot Flash Mode. I'll start searching for another, but if you can help you'll save me a lot of time. Thanks!

Hi', Im trying to flash the stock firmware on a RAZR D3 (XT919) which is stuck in the Motorola logo and does not boot, using RSD Lite 6.2.4.

However the flashing process fails as follows:

- I select the MZF file for either Android 4.1.2 or 4.4.2

- I connect the USB cable while pressing volume down with phone off

- Phone is recognized as MT65xx Preloader (all drivers are installed)

- Click the Start button

- "Start downloading DA..." quickly reaches 100%

- "Start Download SW..." ends immediately with status: "Error: [Failed to download software]"

Screenshots of this process (from RSDL 6.1.6 - the same applies to 6.2.4)

I've seen that everyone recommends flashing with fastboot.exe whenever RSD Lite fails, however, this requires a series of firmware files such as system.img which are nowhere to be found.

I do have, however, these files which are the ones extracted by RSD Lite automatically, but I have no idea if they are valid for using with fastboot, nor how:

Any suggestions will be welcome. If this is the wrong forum for this, kindly move the post to the proper one instead of deleting it, thank you.

You have a MediaTek device, so flashing is a little different.

RSD Lite only works with Windows 7 or XP
