Please do yourself a favor and read, read again, and read one more time before installing and using this tool. If it's set up correctly, it's very easy to use. But if you don't follow directions, it'll either not work or not do what you expect. Failure to read and follow the directions is NOT a defect of the tool!
ATTENTION: This version is NO LONGER supported. The latest version of the House of Moto can be here:
If you're undaunted and want to use this version with *NO* expectation of ANY support, you may do so but DO NOT PM ME with ANY questions for this version as I will NOT respond.
Mission statement for tool:
This will allow users to have a user friendly framework automation tool for new Motorola devices. Easily customized for any device that allows fastboot flashing of custom scripts that perform various functions. Most notably is when a user screws something up and the phone no longer boots (so called soft bricking). The scripts can restore the partitions of the phone to minty factory fresh in the event that your phone doesn't boot or you just want to refresh your device.
FULL = Flash everything, erase userdata (even if the FXZ doesn't inherantly do so, it is added to the generated FULL script) NOTE: Erases data and internal storage.
KEEP DATA = Flash everything, do NOT erase userdata (regardless of whether the FXZ contains the erase userdata line or not)
UNIVERSAL = Flash everything except GPT and TZ, do NOT erase userdata (regardless of whether the FXZ contains the erase userdata line or not)
WARNING: You MUST do ALL of these steps for this to work!
