This is official software from Motorola to flash Fastboot files to the device, so you have to install the software on your pc or laptop,
After flashing a costum rom, you can revert to stock with this software, also when you are in a
bootloop you can go back to stock Rom with this software:

Some Tips of Razr i:​
- when the phone is freezed or you are in a bootloop, you can force the device to power down, just push & hold Vol - and Vol+ and
power buttons at the same time for 10 seconds, the phone will be shut down
- for going to boot menu, first turn off the phone, then push & hold Vol buttons and power button at the same time
for about 10seconds, then you will enter to boot menu, now use Vol - button to scroll and Vol + to select an option.
- for going to Stock Recovery, you have to select "recovery" in boot menu, then you'll see a black screen with Android triangle in the middle, now you have to push Vol - + buttons at the same time to enter to recovery

Extra for newbies !!!
Maybe you can add official links of these tools...

Also, for Mac and Linux users there is sbf_flash: http://dl.opticaldelusion.org/sbf_flash?attredirects=0

Hi thanks for that - I have a Razr on its way to replace my Defy (running CM7 Maniac's version) - obviously I'll be wanting to root it, but wary of guarantee issues. I'm happy with the process of restoring a fastboot file - but can't see a T Mobile UK version on the link provided - has one been sourced yet? (I'm guessing that the Orange and T Mobile files are still different even though they are both now part of EE)

I've just ask a question in the specific section so sorry for posting again...
I have the message "Warning bootloader unlocked" on the phone after unlocking the bootloader and flashing cwm recovery.
With RSD lite we can go back to stock. This will erase the above message? Where can I find stock rom for flashing?
Thanks.

Can anyone describe using of Android kitchen for unpacking of zip with firmware?

Flashing a custom recovery

Hello! I know I have already posted a few threads about this, but I want to be 100% right, that's the only way to learn Android!
So I want to flash CWM touch recovery to my device, and I don't want to use any toolkits like I did before. The only thing I want to have from the toolkit now are drivers, because I won't uninstall them, seems pointless.
This is how I think you have to flash a recovery, but please correct me if I'm wrong!
1.Download fastboot files and place them in any directory (how many files are they? Do I have to extract them?
2.download customrecovery.img and place the file in the same directory as the fastboot files.
3.Open command prompt in that directory and type "fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img"
Is this the full guide on how to install a recovery? Thanks in advance!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

In a nutshell, yes, you are correct. For more detailed answers:
1. Yes, place them in the same directory as your ADB drivers, that way you won't have to CD when switching between the two.
2. correct
3. this is correct, but you HAVE to be in bootloader mode.
So the order would be:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash recovery customrecovery.img
Easy, and +1 for wanting to learn how to do things the proper way.

Ok so the only files I need are adb drivers, fastboot drivers and the recovery. But do I have to extract any of them? Or just download and place them in the directory without changing the files?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

that would depend where you got them. I use this, because I don't want to download and install the SDK. Download the zip at the bottom of this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34552123&postcount=1) named "platform-tools-v16.zip". Extract the contents to an easy to reach folder, I use C:\Android. Then when you want to use terminal commands shift+right click "open command window here", connect your device, ensure USB Debugging is on and that you've given ADB permissions when it asks for the RSA key. Then you can run "adb devices" to see if they work properly.

Boot your phone into bootloader mode, connect your phone to your PC with USB cable, run command "fastboot devices" to check if the driver is properly setup. If you can see your device ID then it is good to go.
Else, download google usb drivers here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html

This guy says you have to wipe data/factory reset. I dont think thats needed right? Cause he actually wipes his OS right?
http://youtu.be/nb_MweQpGbQ

You don't have to flash the user data image, but it could result in not getting past the boot screen on initial boot.

Install Custom Recovery
We’ve 2 custom recoveries available yet for our Nexus 4 viz ClockworkMod and TWRP. ClockworkMod or CWM (in short) comes in 2 variants (Touch UI based & Non-Touch UI based). Below I have mentioned on how to flash each one of them using fastboot. For more info about these two recoveries, visit ClockworkMod and TeamWin websites.
Reboot your device into bootloader mode. Either manually, by powering off and then pressing Volume Down + Power buttons simultaneously or using the following command in CMD/Terminal.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Download the latest build of your desired recovery [CWM | TWRP]
Place the downloaded recovery image (.img) file on your desktop.
If in Windows, open CMD and cd it to the desktop using the following command
Code:
cd Desktop
If in OS X or Linux, open terminal and cd it to the desktop using the following command
Code:
cd ~/Desktop
To flash ClockworkMod Non-Touch, type in the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-x.x.x.x-mako.img
Replace x.x.x.x with the recovery build no. that you downloaded.
To flash ClockworkMod Touch, type in the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-touch-x.x.x.x-mako.img
Replace x.x.x.x with the recovery build no. that you downloaded.
To flash TWRP, type in the following command:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-x.x.x.x-mako.img
Replace x.x.x.x with the recovery build no. that you downloaded.
Once flashed, you will prompted on the CMD/Terminal itself.
Now, either reboot your device by using volume keys to highlight Reboot and select using Power button or reboot into the recovery by selecting Recovery mode.
Voila! The next to follow is to root or directly flash a Custom ROM, which is already rooted

And do I have to do a factory reset when that is done?

Nope.
If you boot into recovery and see an android lying out with exclamation mark, use "fastboot format cache" in bootloader mode.

That will only happens when you use stock rom with install-recovery.sh. if you plan to use custom ROM, safely ignore it.

I am currently running the stock rom without any mods, so CWM will stick?

This is getting complication since the introduction of new rooting method for 4.3.....
A: You don't want root
Answer yes if CWM ask you to rename install-recovery.sh, otherwise it won't stick.
B: You want to root with SuperSU
After flashing SuperSU zip, answer No if CWM ask you to rename install-recovery.sh, because the file is modified by SuperSU and it is needed for the root to work.

I want root, so after flashing the supersu zip CWM will ask me? All right!
Will it ask me always after flashing something?

It will ask every time when you want to reboot from CWM. Alternatively, you can use twrp.

Nexus 7 only boots into Fastboot Mode

Hello,
my Nexus 7 wasn't turned on since 3 weeks. Yesterday, I tried to boot it but it just shows the Google logo. The same with the Recovery. So I tried to install with N-Cry a Recovery, it shows that the installation was successfull, but it won't change everything. The same with the factory ROM, I tried it to install it via ADB, it shows that the installation was successfull, but it doesn't boot and still stucks in the Google-Screen. Know? What can I do? Is it a hardware problem? That would be terrible, because the gueranty ended august 2013.
Greetz!
Edit: If I try to Shut it down via fastboot, it shows Unrecoverable Bootloader Error.

DELETE

I am having an identical issue. I have experienced and resolved the battery issues before. This is not that. I've tried factory resets, toolkit stock flashes, toolkit OS updates, adb wipes and flashes. Everything always says successfully completed but it only boots to Google logo and occasionally freezes on the nexus logo.
Does anyone have more info on the N7's acutal boot process? I assume the Google logo is the POST. Is the Nexus logo provided by the bootloader, the kernel or after the OS starts running?
Is there a way to install a new bootloader?
Is there a win7 or Debian program program that will show in more detail every single line and process during the boot process?

Yea, there is a way, I've allready done it, but it doesn't boot anyway. With the Baseband Version sorry, but it's my fault, there cannot be a Baseband Version on my Grouper.
My Fastboot shows:
Product Name - grouper
Variant - grouper
HW Version: ER3
Baseband Version - N/A
Serial Number: 015XXXXXXXXXXX
Singing: Not defiened yet
LOCK STATE - UNLOCKED

fixed mine, conflicting driver issue and used pdanet versions instead of universal.

Thanks man. That could be work. I will try it later. Anybody another ideas?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app

Push! Please, anybody any another ideas? The driver wasn't the problem, it doesn't turn on. I can do anything, flash with ADB, flash with different Toolkits...
PLEASE I need my tab...

PUSH! Please help. I tried it so much times, I deinstalled all drivers and install different drivers again... Please what could I do?

Hi, i have this problem but worse is that the buttons of my tablet are not working. It seems i can not boot pass the fastboot whenever i try to reboot (using Wug's Toolkit). Please, does anybody here who can help?

Have you tried flashing back to stock with fastboot?

yes, i have tried that but it still won't pass fastboot. i don't know what's happening. i even tried disconnecting the power/volume buttton cable and tried rebooting again to check if it was the one causing the problem but still it did the same thing.

Next, boot to fastboot. Plug N7 to the pc. Open pc directory where fastboot is. Open a command window. (Click on an empty section of the folder so no files are highlighted, hold shift key on keyboard and right click with mouse. Choose "open command window here" from the dropdown)
Type these commands.
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery

Here is the issue. When you downloaded the tar.gz file that the image-nakasi-kot49h.zip was in, ot also contains the bootloader and some files called .flash-all, .flash....etc. All thoes files need to be in this folder. The image cant be flashed without the bootloader being sucessfully flashed, and the -w command is not recognized withoit the .flash-all.... files. Unzip all the tar.gz contents into the folder and do it again. It will be fine.

[Q] Google nexus 7 (2012) - Unrooting leads to total failure(no recovery, no boot up)

Dear developers and other users!
I have been looking for same issues but I was unable to find answer for my problem.
About a year ago I unlocked and rooted my nexus 7 tablet to use special apps on it.
Today I tried to unroot and lock my device. On my laptop the program(Nexus Root Toolkit) said it was successful so I just needed to reboot the tablet.
After rebooting it stopped on the Google screen with a "Booting failed" text on the top left corner like that:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I think I have uninstalled android from the device but I can't Intsall a new one because recovery mode doesn't work and Android is not going to boot.
I can only use Bootloader. Bootloader looks like that:
Once I started my tablet it started in bootloader mode but every other startup fails on Google screen.
Please help me to use my tablet as before without root.
What should I do and how should I do that to get it work again?
Any help would be highly appreciated ​

You don't use USB debugging or adb in fastboot to flash the factory image. Follow the link and read the instructions carefully.

Its much easier on a Linux machine. All you need to do is open terminal and type "sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot" and hit enter. Then extract the .tar file and double click "flash-all.sh" and choose run in terminal. Absolutely no driver headaches.
If you have access to a Linux machine (mint/ubuntu) or if you can dualboot Linux, this will really help

I too have this same issue...
Exception is my Nexus is locked... everytime I try to unlock it, it tries to reboot and never comes back on...
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for everyone I successfully made my tablet work by flashing a stock android 4.4.2
The solution:
1. I connected to my father's laptop (with Win7 on it and mine had Win8.1 so you MUSN'T try fixing on Win8.1 because of the drivers) because my laptop detected the device as undefined USB component and my father's laptop showed the tablet as Nexus 7.
2. I found a working adb&fastboot here
3. After the download is done unip the file and run RUN ME.bat and type fastboot for help
*If needed after running the RUN ME.bat file type
fastboot oem unlock
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(this will unlock your bootloader which is necessarry
for the following steps)
4. After reconnecting my device and booting to bootloader mode and downloaded the new firmware (unzipped into the fastboot folder) type fastboot
fastboot update image-nakasi-kot49h (this was the firmware that I needed to "update")
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
5. After the fastboot started working and flashing the new OS (it takes about 5 or 10 minuntes) the tablet will restart and starts optimizing all te apps that you had before (that happened in my case).
6. If you want you can lock your bootloader by giving the fastboot this command:
fastboot oem lock

5. After the fastboot started working and flashing the new OS (it takes about 5 or 10 minuntes) the tablet will restart and starts optimizing all te apps that you had before (that happened in my case).
6. If you want you can lock your bootloader by giving the fastboot this command:
And now I am using Android 4.4.4 on my nexus 7 tablet

I was hopeful that this would work for me.... I am using a win 8.1 machine and the downloaded fastboot and adb seemed to work fine.
I go to do a fastboot unlock and I get the following:
(bootloader) erasing userdata...
(bootloader) erasing userdata done...
(bootloader) erasing cache...
(bootloader) erasing cache done...
(bootloader) unlocking....
FAILED (remote: (Unknown error code))
finshed. total time: 7.902s
So..... Anyone ? The tablet does ask if I want to Unlock the Bootloader... I select yes and hit the power button to select... yet the tablet goes back to the android screen... The top of the screen says Unlocking now...... yet it doesn't...
Please help...

[Q] Cannot flash recovery or rsd anything on unlocked xt907

I flashed the fxz gpe(after flashing the official first) a few weeks ago on my daughter's phone. It worked well until one night she said there were issues. It would not stop force closing just about every app. I did not have a custom recovery on it at that time. I have since attempted to rsd the gpe, the official fxz, a custom recovery. I have used fastboot commands to attempt to wipe userdata etc. All of these say successful, but it reboots back to the broken gpe each time. When I try to use adb shell to mount system it tells me permission denied. Note, this phone is being used as a media and game device, so no sim card and is in airplane mode with wifi on generally. Any ideas guys?

What does rsdlite say when you attempt to flash the official from the Motorola firmware It doesn't make sense that (if it does) when you rsd the official that it boots back to the broken gpe... You could try house of moto and see if it works any better

After rebooting it back to the bootloader it says pass. House of Moto did not work either unfortunately. I also used his RSD flasher. You are absolutely right when you say it doesn't make sense. That is why I am baffled at this point. I am able only to get in to settings if I am quick enough(launcher crashes if I hit home), I just tried to switch to dalvic as I noticed it was on Art. However when it rebooted, it went back to Art still...

Try booting to recovery as its stock recovery factory reset and clear cache partition then when you select reboot immediately hold the volume up n down then go straight to the fastboot screen from that menu and rsd the official from there... Let us know (I know how important it is to get it working I have a 2 year old with a droid 4 and its the end of the world when it dies I can't imagine if I were in your position...)

When you're flashing anything, it's a good idea to return to factory settings first & flash a clean stock rom. But when you flash a custom recovery, you need to make sure that it doesn't boot up normally after it's done. If it boots normally it will replace your custom recovery with stock recovery. To avoid this, as soon as its done flashing and begins the normal boot process, press power&volumeup&down simultaneously and scroll down to recovery and go into this. After you do this once, you shouldn't face anymore problems.:good:

Just tried all of these suggestions and still have stock recovery and rebooting back to the same busted google play edition rom.

OK...just to be clear your using the 6.1.6 rsd lite and the 183.46.10 from sbf devoplers.org... Booting into fastboot letting rsd do its thing then allowing rsd boot the device and when it does it boots to the broken gpe?... let's see if more experienced individuals have an idea @RikRong @ATTACK

That's correct, also have redownloaded numerous times to verify that it didn't happen to be corrupt

Try and flash recovery with mfastboot but boot straight into recovery, then try and flash CM11 nightly.
Type
Code:
mfastboot flash recovery <recovery name>.img
Then
Code:
mfastboot reboot
as soon as you hit enter, press & hold volume up (+) which will take you into recovery.

Have you tried to mfastboot the images separately?
Code:
mfastboot flash...
Code:
modem NON-HLOS.bin
erase modemst1
erase modemst2
boot boot.img
recovery recovery.img
system system.img
erase cache
erase userdata

Just did and still booting into the same gpe Rom
Is there any more info that I can give you that would help us figure out what the heck is going on with this thing?

Have you tried other USB ports?
Did you get any errors with mfastboot?

If you could would you please try this, I would like to see if ADB reads your partitions.
Boot to the OS and make sure ADB is on.
In CMD type
Code:
adb shell
Except the dialog that pops up on your phone.
Then Type
Code:
ls -al /dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name
