Hi s27moto,
Thanks for your very clear guide. Btw, In 1 step (unlock bootloader) could you tell me more about this step:
0. My phone is RAZR HD Kitkat offical update, no root, bootloader locked.
1. Can I unlock it by using fastboot command with motopolycase that provided in following link in step 1 (4.4.2 kitkat) ?
2. I tried to unlock my phone using Motorolar website but It's say that my phone is not qualify. What can I do ?
Thanks you.

If you have a 926 and are on the latest FW, you can't unlock. If you have a 925, you should be able to unlock via Moto.

no need for custom rom just install a recovery like twrp then flash root and then you are rooted

Fastboot Success??

Has anyone actually flashed a custom recovery on an xt925 4.4.2 OTA? I have had no luck trying any kind of fastboot, mfastboot, Olympian-fastboot... Nothing. If anyone has, perhaps point us to the resource you used. Thanks.

edit: i hate the sites he uploads to but you can figure out the right button

Ok. I tried what you said (checked the drivers) and I'm getting this...
(bootloader) Variable bot supported!
Then it looks like it worked, but no joy. Ideas?
--Update--
Just tried with 'mfastboot' and it gave me no error this time and didn't freeze after 'writing recovery', i.e. actually finished the process. Still no TWRP recovery on the phone though.

Are you booting directly back into recovery after flashing? If you don't, stock recovery will override it. After flashing, immediately power off the phone and boot straight into recovery.

Then everything work perfectly!! Thanks, all.

Hello! I'm trying to root it, but it seems like I can't! Is it beacause my version is unable to do so? I have already unlocked the bootloader, flashed the CWM even tryed the TWRP, but I'm unable to do it from the PC and even by the ROM Manager App.
As I enter the recovery mode, there is always a opened up android robot with the !triangle

where am I missing?
Thanks!

Looks the same issue I had. When you are in bootloader (fastboot) did you try erasing the cache, then flash recovery?

Try it without the "m" (fastboot). "mfastboot" command only works if it's in the directory. If that doesn't do it, do a search for "mfastboot" (Motorola version of "fastboot"), put it in the same folder as "fastboot", and try again.
It took me almost 3 weeks of research and experimentation to find something that worked. Don't know how some people got it done so easily.

hello friends, I wrote phone information. phone system came update. The new update file appears as 1.90.401.3, but not tamamyal system update for the Twrp Recovery is installed. I was in the Recovery menu. According to information I'm looking for my phone for OTA update files. Thank you in advance for your friends to help you.

Hello friend, you must firstly flash stock recovery to OTA. On the top of that, you should have an unmodified system partition.

these as detailed by the howtos linked by the previous post, are not flashable from custom recovery. You need stock recovery not a custom like TWRP.
Or rather be using Fastboot tool from a PC, that's the most convenient in your situation i think

Bootloop help.

I decided to return my Sprint variant. So i needed to s-on and lock the bootloader. Problem is, now I have a 1 sec bootloop. Here's what I did. No idea how to fix the problem now.
Here's what I did in order to get the phone back to 100% stock to return it.
Changed the CID (incorrectly) to spsc_001 instead of spcs_001 but iddn't notice that.
Managed to get s-on but couldn’t get bootloader locked again.
reinstalled twrp and SU
booted up
installed sunshine and successfully s-off'd & locked
rebooted to download mode
Did a s-on using fastboot oem writesecureflag 3
rebooted and got a 1 sec bootloop
booted back into download mode and tried to factory reset via fastboot but can’t write the partition
tried to flash twrp, but got a security warning BL-unlocked
Now I'm stuck in a super short .5 second bootloop and can’t access stock recovery.
I try to install the ruu.exe and I get a Customer ID error. I try to install RUU.zip and I get a load_file: could not allocate -2146013644 bytes (which I assume means the partition is full but I can't even erase the userdata.) I also get a Security checking failed GT_CONNECT_FAIL on the download mode screen. I'm totally clueless as to how to get out of this situation. Anyone been here before or knows how to deal with this?

u failed to mention that you changed the CID at some point & when you changed it back, u set it wrong...
honestly, I think you're screwed...I don't know how you'll be able to fix this w/o being able to boot up, can't unlock bootloader, can't use fastboot to flash anything, can't flash RUU...somehow u need to get your CID back to SPCS_001...u may just have to return it in that condition & act ignorant.
any ideas @dottat @Captain_Throwback

You're right, but I had created this post before you guys pointed that out to me in the other thread. So, ya for the record i set the CID as spsc_001 instead of spcs_001 and then locked the bootloader. Great job on my part huh? Anyway, I was afraid you were going to say that I was screwed. I have never made a mistake like this before. So stupid, every letter counts. You'd think I'd have learnt that by now. I'm just hoping there's some really obscure and little-known fix for this that some xda angel will send my way. Hehe. Anyway, thanks for the follow-up OMJ.

Well, I had already unlocked the phone, rooted, installed other ROMs. When I couldn't unlock the GSM bands, I decided to return the phone so I tried to set the phone back to stock Sprint ROM. I did everything necessary except I put in the wrong CID before relocking the bootloader. So, yes, I had been provided the unlock code by HTC dev. The problem is that I now have a locked bootloader with an incorrect CID, which is why flashing RUUs isn't working.
I don't know if I can flash the RUU partitions with a locked bootloader or if that'll work with an incorrect CID but I'll try anything. Just not sure how to go about doing tht. I'd appreciate any help you can provide. Thanks for the recommendation.

try this, grab the stock boot.img from the firmware zip: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120723715
copy the boot.img into your sdktools folder
boot into download mode & try to manually flash it
fastboot flash boot boot.img
if that doesn't work, then try this
download the signed firmware: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120723717
then try one or both of the flashing methods (although I suspect it wont work due to bad CID):
Flash Firmware via download mode (requires micro sd card)....
-rename firmware to 2PS6IMG.zip
-copy 2PS6IMG.zip to ext_sd card
-boot into download mode
-it will scan your ext_sd card, then ask if you want to start the update
-press volume up & let it do it's thing...
Flash Firmware via fastboot, no ext sd card needed...
-rename firmware to firmware.zip
-copy firmware.zip to your adb/fastboot/sdk folder
-boot into download mode
-plug in usb
-type fastboot oem rebootRUU
-when u see the black screen w/ HTC, type fastboot flash zip firmware.zip
-when it's done, type fastboot reboot

Actually I had tried that since this bootloop issue came up and was given a new .bin file without any problems. The problem is when i tried to flash the .bin file i got this:

Ok. So your only hope would be to get the ruu files extracted and to manually flash each partition by name. Get it to boot and enable oem unlock. Then flash new token and flash twrp and root and S-off via sunshine. Then fix the cid and do the rest the correct way.

OK, this is slightly above my pay-grade. While I've read up on it it always seemed too complicated to try in the past, but this is as good a time as any to learn. Any way you can point me in the right direction on this? Not sure how to do this. I assume I should use the original sprint RUU.zip?

Use the original zip and the instructions/tools provided here (https://forum.xda-developers.com/chef-central/android/tool-universal-htc-ruu-rom-decryption-t3382928) to extract your RUU into the basic partition files. Then flash each one using fastboot by name (eg fastboot flash system system_1.img etc)

Ok, will try that. You wouldn't happen to know where I can find the zip would you? I always used the exe cause that's what was on the htc site. Not sure where the actul RUU.zip file can be found. I assume I can use the one found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-10/development/ruu-sprint-htc-10-1-24-651-3-t3379257
And dottat, OMJ, thanks a lot for your help. It's people like you who make this community what it is.

Hey OMJ,
I grabbed one of your RUU.zip files from your repository on xda ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-htc-10/development/ruu-sprint-htc-10-1-24-651-3-t3379257 ). The zip files, when extracted, turn into like 25 zips. When I extract 0.zip (in order to extract the entire array) I get a file corrupt errors for a few of the files. Am I missing something? I don't think the files are actually corrupt but this is a recurring error I've gotten on a number of different .zip files that have the string of multiple zips within them. Got any ideas?

u download the 2PS6IMG.zip? If so, u can't extract, it's encrypted. You would need to decrypt using the tool that dottat linked u
BUT, don't waste your time, aint gonna work, u already tried manually flashing the boot.img & u got the failed, s-on error
to confirm, from download mode, u used this cmd? fastboot flash boot boot.img if so, I'm fresh out of ideas....

odd...u can certainly try to flash the system.img but it will probably give the same error...I can the complete single system.img if u want me to upload or u can use the decrypt tool to decrypt the ruu & flash the individual system imgs

Saw your post while looking for an sim unlock for my Japanese HTC 10.
Couldn't resist reading more about your problem tho.
First idea but quite dangerous if done incorrectly..
Try and see if you can change the cid in the ruu.exe with a HEX editor?
If that doesn't work, next try and change the cid of the ruu. zip.
Might be a long shot, but if the files cid's aren't encrypted it might work!

[ROOT] [CF-AUTO-ROOT] [SuperSU] Root Moto G5 With CF-Auto-Root From Chainfire

Root Moto G5 With CF-AUTO-ROOT​
This is depreciated - Please use the latest version of Magisk to root this device
Requirements
Unlocked bootloader
PC setup with fastboot/adb
Instructions
With phone booted goto
Settings > Developer Options (if you haven't got this goto Settings > about phone and click build number until it says you're a developer)
Enable Android debugging
Restart to bootloader
Goto Moto G5 CF-Auto-Root Page
Select firmware and follow instructions on website
Unzip and run root.bat
Note this will only root your phone if the firmware version matches that on the CF-Auto-Root site
If your firmware is not listed you need to upload your boot.img & recovery to the site
You can get these by Flashing twrp recovery - making a backup then extract those files from the backup
Alternatively for stock rom users you can try flashing magisk in twrp recovery
TWRP recovery is available in the Dev section of this device forum
For custom rom users on lineageos flash the lineageos su addon zip then enable root in developer options
If your firmware is not there you can try one anyway or upload your boot.img and recovery.img to the website

Can you try this package
Unzip it
Make sure adb is enabled in your dev options in phone settings
Reboot phone to bootloader
Connect usb cable to laptop
Double click on the file root.bat
Wait till its finished - your phone may restart a few times
I would test it but I'm compiling other things at the moment

thank you, i will test it but not now, i fix the problem with full flash stock firmware, made all updates ota and after that flash twrp, dm verity(this file i forgot to flash everytime) and everytings works now

The phone when booted properly i can always see TWRP application present in my phone even when the phone is on Stock recovery and Full Reset.
Please help.
