Hi Moto guys
I bought this RAZR. It is a GSM one without operator customizing.
I rooted it normally and tried to update to ICS leak (this one if I remember well).
It didn't work.
Anyway I downgrade back to Gingerbread and tried to flash in recovery the MIUI V4 zip.
It bootlooped.
So I wanted by the same way to downgrade to 2.3.6 again.
It was a fail.
From this, I had the flash failure screen at the beginning and lost the recovery.
Because of a "Battery Low" I made a factory cable and I can access again to the "flash failure" screen.
I found a tuto relating to the same problem than me and tried to apply it.
I downloaded this rom (SPDREM_U_01.6.5.1-167_SPU-15-M2-1-DE_1C.91P_0A.6C_TMDE_CFC_HWp2b_SIGNED.xml.zip) as explained and tried to flash it in RSD lite.
The problem is:
I have no error message, it just stays stuck on "6/11 flash system "system_signed".
I let it several hours, it never passed away this step.
With "Eternityprj_Fla**** script it's the same, it's blocked at "system writing..."
I don't really know if I'm considered to be on ICS or GB. My bootloader version is 0A.75 so I guess ICS one.
Any idea to reanimate this XT910?
Thanks for the help you could bring to me
P.S: I tried these roms since the first fail
-SPDREM_U_01.6.5.1-167_SPU-15-M2-1-DE_1C.91P_0A.6C_TMDE_CFC_HWp2b_SIGNED.zip

-SPDREM_U_01.6.5.1-167_SPU-15-M2-3_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml.zip
Since I use XP in a VIRTUALBOX machine, I have an icon with activity on device.
During this operation, the activity on the phone is important
C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>fastboot.exe flash system sy
stem.img

I tried with normal fastboot executable from SDK and erpj-fastboot.exe, no difference.
Is it possible I make something wrong with my factory cable?
I don't think so because it makes my phone booting as I plug it and it writes normally boot.img for example with fastboot.
Your help would be appreciated very much guys ^^
Thanks!
Solved!
I can't explain why but I managed to access recovery even if system flash with fastboot never ended.
I flashed ICS rom and it booted well.
So it's solved even if I can't give explanations.
Thanks anyway.
flash fails...repeatedly
This has been covered extensively, but mine is still screwed up, i rooted the phone with clockwork mod. When the official ICS cam eout, i tried to manually download it. I have unrooted the phone and tried to install ics, it failed. So i tried flashing back to factory because clockwork was still popping up on boot. The flash continues to fail. I have tried using moto-fastboot in command prompt, i ha tried rsd lite with the flash(4 different ones). It keeps failing and i end up in the ap fastboot mode. it takes 2 tries to get the phone to boot normally and occasionally the clockwork boot menu pops up on reboot. Any ideas how to just start from scratch. As seen by the problems i have caused myself, i am a complete amateur here.
A little info, the phone is about 8 months old, rooted it once successfully, it is currently unrooted(i tried to reroot but got hung up in ap fastboot), updated drivers twice, moved the flash files all arounf my computer, using windows 7 64 bit. thanks to anyone who may help
Ok ok ok...
if i have an advice, before flashing, read read & read again.
So now.
Give me more info about your phone(xt910 / xt912 / europe / asia / latam /usa ) ??
Can you rsd to system_signed, or flash it manually through fastboot ?
When you installed ics manually which error did you have?
If you can, try to flash system_signed then reflash the OTA package with official recovery & wipe data. But i guess it wont work. For now i can't help you more without more info.
So tell me all you can and write it clear.
Or try this through rsd lite or fla**** http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=28199183

yes, now ics fastboot file is out, you can easily fastboot to get back.
it is usa...i am downloading the ics fastboot now. I have tried the fastboot method with the latest gingerbread build, and also using the command prompt and flash commands....will let you know
thanks
Flash failed right away....how do i know i have the correct drivers? any other ideas?
I had the same issue when attempting to flash. Make sure you switch to a usb 2.0 port.
After that find the moto-fastboot package and then flash all the files manually using moto-fastboot instead of regular fastboot.
You have to do that for every single file. The file names are in the xml in the fastboot file.

I was an idiot. I should've read the instructions and the new software released, but after successfully flashing my phone a few times, I got cocky. I was running greyblur but wanted to update it to the latest official gingerbread FW. I flashed it using CW, but now it's stuck on the load Motorola screen. It'll turn on, show the motorola icon, show GREYBLUR, then just get stuck in an infinite cycle.
I tried leaving it on for a while, about half an hour and nothing worked.
Tried to fastboot, and give it a hard reset but that didn't lead to anything.
Anyways, I've downloaded the FW 4.1.83, tried renaming it to update.zip and running that but it doesn't work..
Can anyone help me out?

Hi,
I was trying to install Cyanogenmod on my phone using the guide on the cyanogenmod wiki (I can't post the link, but it's the first google result for Motorola Atrix 4G: Full Update Guide)
I did everything in the guide, up to the point where I was supposed to flash the ROM onto my phone using RSD, but then it failed and gave me a "Error switching phone to BP Pass through mode". I unplugged it from the computer, took out the battery put it back in, and now it's giving me the
"Failed to boot 0x1000
No OS detected, going to RSD mode
in 5 seconds
...
..."
Menu. When plug my computer back in, and try to flash the same ROM using RSD Lite again, it says "Failed Flashing Process: Unable to retrieve interface handle". How do I fix this? I've never unlocked or rooted my phone or anything before. It was completely stock before I tried to do this.
Also, when trying to use fastboot and typing in fastboot oem unlock, it's just stuck on <waiting for device>
You tried to rsd a flashable rom on a locked bootloader phone. Your first error. You will need to rsd back to stock first. Then you need to root the phone. Then You need to follow the steps in the guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202883 or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 (the second one I used recently). Once you've done that stuff THEN you can flash cm thru recovery. Hope you didn't hard brick.

Thanks for your help, but could you be more specific on how to do all of that? As you can tell, I'm (quite obviously) a noob at this.
Also: I downloaded a file called 1FF-olympus-user-2.3.6-4.5.141-111212-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P012 , which is supposed to be the stock ROM. But when I run RSD, it gives me the error "Failed Flashing Process: Unable to retrieve interface handle (0x7027)
EDIT:: Your second link worked! Thank you very much!
Don't worry about it, it is common. All you need is the small unlock RSD file for your device found in post # 1136261 and the attempted flash that fails in the step that you described. Then you need to move on to the next step in the process. You need to get the phone into fastboot though, by holding the volume down key during the boot up / or if you get that crazy menu with options 0 though 9, use the volume up and down to select fastboot. Then on the PC continue with the process:
fastboot oem unlock
Then when that is successful, flash recovery.img or whatever recovery you have downloaded:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

You're welcome!
first let me say I do not have a RAZR and have searched. I have a friend who was rooted, tried to unroot and install the OTA JB update. He is now stuck in fastboot. His PC will recognize his phone but doesn't show as available like it should. (I have the Note 2 and mine shows under "computer" when connected). he's tried running the razr utility and it fails then says he's back on original version. He can get into bootloader but not into recovery. He says it back the to AP Fastboot screen and then it says boot failed. He was rooted but on stock. he tried to install the JB update both OTA and through his external SD card. can anyone help? does the razr not use odin?
I don't understand exactly your problem. Would you like to flash stock ROM with fastboot recovery? Then you have to
1) install latest Motorola driver package
2) install RSD lite tool
3) boot phone to fastboot recovery
4) connect USB to computer
5) download fastboot package of you choice, exctract it and choose included xml-file in RSD lite
6) start flash and wait until it's finished
he's stuck in a repeat boot. he told me it was a fastboot but I didn't clarify if that meant it was a regular repeat boot screen or if it was the fastboot recovery screen. I didn't realize how different the razr was from my samsung phones. sorry if I am not making sense. He's in SC and I'm in AR so I am only going on what he is telling me.
I assume that he stucks in fastboot recovery.
The only chance to get the device working again is to flash ICS stock ROM with RSD lite.

I would also post links to fastboot files, motorola driver package and RSD-Lite, but unfortunately I'm not allowed to do with <10 posts
By the way, are you XT910 (GSM) or XT912 (CDMA) user?
Would you like to flash ICS or JB?
Note that for JB no fastboot files exits up to now. JB can not be flashed with RSD-Lite.
I am new to cell phone mods. My goal was to gain some experience by rooting and replacing the os image on my Atrix 4G. I use it for my alarm clock which uses an application that won't run on newer version of android than v2.x.x. I successfully rooted and installed super use. I then installed Titanium Backup and did a full backup to sdcard. I installed Rom Manager, chose ClockworkMod Recovery and then the correct image, and told it to flash the recovery partition. Rebooted. Got an error with the android logo and a circle with a triangle. Went back to all the how to's and attempted to install unlockable_bootloader. It now comes up to rsd, seems to fail, then goes into fastboot. Fastboot devices sees it and I can reboot from fastboot but it goes back to the same place. HELP.
Forget about any and all automatic methods, including ROM manager and similar. Good old-fashioned manual methods work best.

I think I have read all the posts and how to's on manually flashing. Temporarily recovered but persued my goal of learning something. Only thing it can do now is fastboot when I hold the volume key UP while restarting. Used to be down but that's gone. RSD protocol is no more. Says "Failed to boot 1" when restarting. Something I flashed apparently relocked the boot loader and who knows what else I've screwed up. Fastboot -w indicates it cas erase the cache and userdata partitions. Surely there is still hope for this as I can still access fastboot. Can you give a little help please?

I previously found a thread that described that process and tried it. Fastboot reported it failed flashing recovery.
That usually happens if the BL is not unlocked (properly).

reflash the pudding sbf to unlock the bl, then go ahead and flash recovery as advised. if I remember correctly, when it says failed to boot 1, its automatically in rsd, which means just hook it up and let rsd lite do its job then fastboot for recovery

Installed pudding successfully with RSD Lite. Attempted to flash recovery with "fastboot flash recovery image_name". Reports "sending recovery" and then "writing recovery". When I reboot, it still has has the stock recovery utility.Otherwise, I'm back to stock 2.3.6 except that it reports unlocked upon rebooting. Am I not flashing the correct thing? Thanks for the pointers.

hmm, sounds like you're on the 145 build of 2.3.6. Check to see what your phone says in about phone. its going to give you a system version ending in 141 or 145.

This one says "4.5.141". Before undertaking to hack this piece, it was 4.5.145. I have flashed preinstall and boot and attempted to flash recovery. I don't know where it stores the build number. Could it be reporting .141 while really .145 ? I am confident the .145 is correct because we have two phones purchased the same day from same vendor and the other reports .145. I also remember it as .145 but my memory is pretty faulty.

ok. I think the file we need to look for in order to fix this is in system/etc. its called install-recovery.sh and that file forces stock recovery to be installed. delete that file and try flashing the custom recovery.

When I bricked my atrix i used the xatrix tool to unbrick it. works really well and once unbricked was fully unlocked so was easy to flash new roms
xatrix (dot) webs (dot) com
once on there website click to download tab to get the downloads
This tool will remove everything from phone root, unlock and install cwm. What you do after that is upto you. sometimes its easier to start over then figure out what went wrong when installing a mod.
My problem is now this, I'm recovered, rooted, and unlocked. If I flash recovery with fastboot, it says I am successful but when I reboot the original recovery image still exists.
And thats the part that confuses me. It says 141, but the recovery issue is acting like its a 145. I'm stumped, but i do believe there is an install-recovery.sh script or something thats preventing this thing from sticking after flashing. I'm really baffled by this b/c i ran 141 for the longest time, i did all my rooting, unlocking, and recovery flashing on 141, and got no issues. I could advise that you download and flash the ICS leak (the true leak, not the ROMs we have available) via fastboot and see if that changes the situation, but i don't want to advise you to do something and then a bigger mess appears.

sounds like you had 145 installed and flashed 141 over it without doing a wipe first. i would use cwm recovery and do a factory reset wipe all data and flash the rom you want to run.

he can't get cwm installed. it may say it gets flashed correctly, but he cannot get cwm to show up and be usable.
as a work around, via fastboot, run the commands:
fastboot erase data
fastboot erase cache
that would cover what factory reset does.

That should do it. If for some reason it doesnt the xatrix tool will wipe everything off the phone and start it over with 141 unlocked bootloader, with cwm. Only automated tool i found that will unbrick phone with rsd lite. Make sure phone is fully charged before starting xatrix tool as it wipes battery fast and if it dies you will need to start over.
Erase cashe was successful, erase data failed. Found reference to additional file to delete but it did not exist either. If I conttinue, I will repost. Thanks for everyone's effort trying to get this working.
OK, so I was rolling along just fine...

Close any other running programs, especially Chrome. Then if still not doing it, install CWM Recovery instead, and if you still want TWRP flash it from CWM Recovery.
My N5 won't let me have TWRP, so if you just want the functions of a recovery, try a different one.

I'm at my end right now, because I want to remove all this dumb Google bloatware so badly. Was thinking about trying to flash stock image, or relock and unlock boot loader again to see if that does anything, but I'm very nervous that those options might not work because of the fact that fast boot commands aren't working. Certainly don't want to end up with a $400 paperweight...

I assume you're on 5.0.1. Flash the boot or recovery image from the factory image in fastboot. See if that works. That might rule out a fastboot issue. If it flashed it won't do anything negative to your device

Going to give this a shot now..
Worth mentioning, I ran an OEM Lock command, and successfully relocked the bootloader, so it appears fastboot is at least partially working. Going to attempt to flash the bootloader in the image from Google, because that is all there is. Just bootloader and image, no recovery image. I will post results here. I don't know why fastboot commands are broken after unlocking bootloader, but there is one thing that seems odd to me:
When I run fastboot devices, it returns the following (has been like this from the beginning):
Code:

Yes, recently updated it via the minimalist fastboot/adb tool. This is REALLY irritating the hell out of me at this point... Been trying to get recovery on this stupid tablet all damn day...
I am starting to think this is a read/write error.. It is getting the error whenever it tries to write to the tablet... (sending boot.img results in the error every time)... Anyone know of fastboot/adb commands to check/fix read and write errors
**EDIT**
So, much to my chagrin, it appears to just be my computer... Tried on a different laptop, and was able to get it rooted.. For some odd reason though, I don't think TWRP is installing correctly ??
I am going to try and boot into recovery, but every time i try to flash it with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img it says it was successful, but a boot into recovery mode comes up as the dreaded NO COMMAND laying down Android icon. Super frustrating..
**EDIT 2**
So after much trying of different methods, I was able to successfully flash TWRP with Flashify. Not sure why I couldn't do it manually through fastboot but I'm good now. Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. This can be marked as closed or solved. Thanks!

So after much trying of different methods, I was able to successfully flash TWRP with Flashify. Not sure why I couldn't do it manually through fastboot but I'm good now. Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. This can be marked as closed or solved. Thanks!

To your first edit, twrp is probably working correctly. Lollipop forces the stock recovery. There are two files, one in /system and one in /system/bin that force the stock recovery upon boot. You can remove those files or first

Then flash supersu in twrp, then

Kind of mystified with your response... Had nothing to do with the USB drivers. Found out afterward that the problem was the security that my company had setup on my laptop (was using my company thinkpad). Switching laptops solved the problem.
