Maybe its not allowing it since it is already updated. You could revert to ICS then start over and that should do the trick.

Yeah i'm downloading the Fastboot file 4.0.4 .. does anyone know how to do after that.. I'm reading forum but still have no idea how.. What to do with RDS ?

The fastboot file i downloaded is VZW_XT907_4.0.4-7.7.1Q-144_SMQ_S1-36-10_CFC.xml.zip with size of 650 MB .. I have no idea how to flash this one to downgrade my JB to ICS in order to come back to JB again.. Does anyone knows how to?

AP Fastboot - from powered off, hold down volume-up AND volume-down, then while holding those, press and hold the power button until you see a menu pop-up that's simply white text on a black background. Once that comes up, use volume-down to move down to AP Fastboot, and volume-up to select it. Then plug it into your computer, fire up rsdlite (6.1.4! ), open the file linked in the OP, and go!

I tried the same but receive this message (getvar) i think someone also have this problem.. I'll put some research to see what's the problem.. but does anyone also know and have this problem ?

Just edited the xml to delete the getvar line... So far so good and now I'm in ICS... GREAT... Will post the full method soon..

Remove the line with "getvar" and remove any line with OEM or var. It should be first long line and 3rd and last, if u get errors after then remove the line with "gptmain0.bin" should be line # 2

Flash the full again. If it fails, pop out the battery and flash the full again. It may tell you code corrupt, but it will allow you to flash it. It may also take 2-3 tries. I had the same issue flashing back, but it will take

this seems to be the same issue I'm having.. i just updated to GB yesterday and rooted my phone.. i am super novist at this so i have had a few issues the last couple days but anyway, my bootloader say 30.04 so i grabbed the SHADO_X6_2.3.34_SYSTEM-ONLY.sbf tried to flash using RSD lite and then my phone now shows the Red "M" logo... I'm kinda worried i downloaded the "Happy Holidays".sbf hoping that would work instead but RSD lite doesn't even allow me to start with that program.. so i saw earlier on this thread there was a different file to use.. i'm downloading that now but ultimately i would really like to get the Miui Rom working.. well actually ANY rom would be cool if someone see's this before i try to flash that file let me know otherwise I'll just re post my results.

No, your not "bricked". If you can get into download or recovery your fine, a bootloop just means you screwed something up and didnt flash correctly or correct roim maybe.
Start over, restock using overcome guide/pack, then flash the correct cm9 via recovery for your model/variant.

Hi all,
the last CW-9 nightly update finally did it... boot loop and CWM recovery can not be selected any more (Vol UP and Power). Download mode (Vol DOWN and Power) works, but I would really hate to restock, because my only nandroid backup and Titanium backups are on the internal SD and that would get formatted in the process.
I looked around for other phones and it seems as if they can simply load an image of CWM 6.xxx via ODIN (I tried fastboot but that did not find my device at all).
I could not find any CWM V6 image as a .tar file anywhere. Anyony have a link?
Does anyone know a simple and fast way to get back my nandroid state WITHOUT restock?
Thanks

Thanks pressed for that! At least now I know why fastboot did not work...
Still, does anyone know if I can fix the boot image with Odin ... or Heimdal or whatever?
Did yu read it or not?
The guy has your exact problem and solved.
But since you ask again.
extract the boot.img from good package and

Yesss Sir, I did read. But maybe you sent the wrong link, because your "answer" (not his) points a an open question. Or how do you read his last sentence "does anybody know how I can go about doing this?" -- As to the heimdall solution, I tried that, only to find that it was unable to write to my internal SD. So, i guess the partition scheme got messed up :crying::crying::crying:
Anyway, I gave up (this time) and restocked. Back to my last accessible data backup from May...:crying:
Should somebody still find a "real" answer, please do respond. Even if the answer should be a clear "it can't be done", so be it. Or ask St. :angel: CDESAI to please please make "our" version of CW Reboot.
I sent you the right link for those who messed up their kernel .
If your partition gone bad then no wonder it won't work.
Now you have restocked, you can always start from scratch.

[Q] OTA 4.3 Update + custom recovery + user stupidity

Hey!
So i've just received the update, and as per instructions i rebooted to install the update. But after rebooting, clockwork recovery appeared with the options of NO, NO, NO, etc, Yes install unknown ZIP, NO, etc. Because i was doing two other things at the moment (and i'm a moron) i've clicked Cancel and rebooted.
So now i'm still on 4.2.2 and when i click on "Check for system update" in setup it says "Up to date"
Am i totally screwed with the OTA update? I'll punch myself in the face if i have to do the update manually and resetup everything on my device <.<''
Thanks!
No, you're not boned. Try this.

With the file from my /cache folder CWM gives Status 7 - Installation aborted. (i've moved the file to my "SD card")
As far as i saw, that might pop up if the ROM is not well done, but that is the file that i got from Google
So... any ideas how shall i proceed?

If you don't want to do a manual update, you can either wait it out - the OTA will come back again eventually - or, you can take a look at system/cache and see the 4.3 update.zip, move it over to your root folder, then go into CWM recovery and install that.

I think it's because you are not using stock kernel. As far as i've gathered from reading here, there is no trouble with custom recovery in general (it seems that sometimes there are issues - mine for example), but otherwise you should be stock: Google's ROM + kernel. If i was in your situation, i would flash the original kernel (you can extract it from the 4.2.2 release image). I'm not sure about multirom, you should research that.
As for my issue, after sleeping on it i think that i'll just wipe and flash the whole 4.3 image. After that i'll setup everything again.
Turns out, that the applications i need to backup data from are not so much, and i figured out where they keep the data i'm interested in. Also i want to see if wiping will help my memory issues (almost full device = slow as hell device).

Hey,
Sorry saw that you did a clean re-install already.
I had the same problem as you. What I did was to flash TWRP (unlike CWM it allows you to ignore the verification error) and tried to take the update again. That still failed however, because I apparently had an edited debuggerd file (happens if you use the Stickmount app). I downloaded a stock one from this thread, replaced it in system/bin, and re-flashed 4.3. Finally worked.
I then re-rooted by flashing the latest SuperSU in TWRP.
Are you replacing the 'debuggerd' file within the 4.3 zip update? Or the file on the Nexus 7 before the 4.3 is flashed?
I've tried updating 4.3 using the OTA 4.3 zip & TWRP & my nexus 7 is currenly stuck the the 'X' boot logo.

That's clear for me, but you are not only deleting the verification part, but the update for the SystemUI.apk, too ...

Are you replacing the 'debuggerd' file within the 4.3 zip update? Or the file on the Nexus 7 before the 4.3 is flashed?
I've tried updating 4.3 using the OTA 4.3 zip & TWRP & my nexus 7 is currenly stuck the the 'X' boot logo.

I replaced the file on the Nexus 7 (in system/bin) before flashing 4.3.

[SOLVED] Stuck at boot logo on reboot

Ever since CM10.2 came out I've not been able to get it to work. Everytime I flashed the rom it would work on the first boot, then after a reboot it would hang at the boot logo. CM11 did exactly the same thing. No amount of wiping this or flashing that fixed the problem. I've seen many other people with the same symptoms posting on this forum and others and most of them use the same solution I did: revert to CM10.1 or similar.
Today I solved my problem. The solution that worked for me was to use the TWRP 2.6.3.0 from Dhacker29 (twrp263_xt907.img), flash that to recovery then install the zips from there. I can't post a link because of forum restrictions but put androidhosting.org/Devs/Dhacker29/msm8960/ infront of that file name and you'll be there.
It sounds really simple and I've seen people say "just use TWRP 2.6.3.0 and it will work", but not all TWRP 2.6.3.0 images are the same apparently. I was using TWRP 2.6.3.0 before and it never worked. I tried downloading it from multiple sources and it still didn't work. Dhacker29's version is slightly different and worked perfectly. I don't know why my phone was picky about it and most other people don't have a problem, but I know I'm not the only one and I just wanted to share the solution.
Here is Dhackers flashable. I did not know there was a difference but the md5 is different from my regular one : e33eac18b87c826155f383169b3a17a4
For the recovery.img inside. twrp263_xt907.img.
My other twrp 263, not sure of the source, but I think mattlgroff :
Md5 : 791c142be27a541ea36b9fc97c684a50
The 791' is the one I suspect of bad behaviour.
I am not rooted or anything
So my problem is when I turn on the device it will just hang up on the animated boot of the red eye. I can enter the stock recovery without any problems and can get to fastboot. The fastboot screen says its locked. So I have tried rsdlite and VRZ_XT907_9.8.1Q-94-1_CFC.img to flash the stock rom on it. rsdlite says that it finished but the phone just remains on the red eye boot animation. can anyone give me some help.
thanks in advance.
again not rooted or custom mod, can fully boot, fastboot locked.

You should wipe data before you restore.
For now boot recovery, push both vol keys for 3 sec @ the dead robot, wipe data.
Ok just did this and it is still stuck at the red eye. The screen isnt frozen it is sparking and stuff but it won't leave this and finish booting. Help!

2nd they both passed md5. then I put the vrz_xt907_9.8.1q-94_cfc.xml.zip through rsd and it failed. So I ran the other one, vrz_xt907_9.8.1q-78-1_1ff.orig.xml.zip, and rsd completed. But it still gets hung up on reboot and wont go pass the red eye. even after waiting 5min for it to boot. rsd is now telling me to manually reboot the device. So I did and waited another 5mins and still stuck at red eye. what is the other file that rsd failed on for. And what am I doing wrong here.

So no errors?
I am stumped. Post a SS of your rsd screen. Make sure you try a boot with the usb plug removed.

You are missing some steps zip up the xml & up it right here. Just the xml ~ 1kb.

Just as well to paste the text of the xml to a post.

Xml is the fxz, restore .zip.
That zip needs to be extracted to a "work" folder. Install the latest moto drivers from the moto site. On a mac use parallels desktop.
Run rsd lite 615 & choose the .xml file from the rsd ... button.
Use the latest fxz/xml.zip - ...94 which will lock your boot if you come from ...66 or earlier if you are not unlocked beforehand!
If on ...78 or earlier remove the getvar line from the xml commands.

Well for starters, if you're on 4.4.2, are you sure you've been flashing the correct ROMs for the new bootloader? Right now only a very few ROMs support it, namely the cm11 test builds, gummy ROM, and...maybe the really long named one that's basically stock but pared down. If you have in fact tried all of those, have you tried restoring your stock backup, which I'm assuming you made because rule 1 is always make a backup?
You flashed a ROM which is not compatible with the new bootloader. A new thread won't help you. Take RSD Lite and flash the stock KitKat. Then the phone should boot again.
I am having the same problem with my xt907. It will boot and loop on the bootloader. I also can not get to the recovery. Rsd isn't working. Matt's utility isn't working. It sounds like a soft brick but I could be wrong.

Bootloader is unlocked.
I believe it was 4.1.2, but i was on cm11 to long to remember what firmware I was on exactly.
I tried to flash stock back in rsd and thats when all hell broke loose.
Did you try the 4.4.2 or a different one? What is it saying in rsd where does it fail? You say it isn't working can you elaborate?
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I tried both, 4.1.2 and 4.4.2. Error was the get var code. I even deleted the lines and tried again. At one point I did get to system.img and then failed. All it does is boot and is stuck on the warning unlocked bootloader label.
Still didn't provide much detail... But try removing this line

There is plenty of hard drive space, is there specific it should be ran. I'm not really sure how the program functions behind the curtain. I will also use a new cord.
Just want to thank you for the patience and help so far. This the first time I haven't ever been able to bring a phone back to life. Lol

Also do I need to zip the file back after editing the lines in the XML file? I've done it both ways before but just wanting some clarity.
No, you don't have to. Just select your edited XML file in RSD Lite.

I've given up, just went and bought the prepaid moto g on Verizon, waiting for the boot loader to be unlocked.
Just want to thank for the help anyways.
Try Droid razr m utility if your on 4.1.2
Or house of moto.
House of moto works but is tricky to work.
