You Da Man Matt!

Matt,

With the goal of restoring to 181 while using Utility 1.6 (option 1) on Eclipse 3.2 I've hit a snag

here are a number of error messages indicating files that the utility is unable to load
files\logo.bin
files\cdrom


Then there is an error message indicating "status read failed <too many open files in system>

When this happens and I power down, then power back up, AP Fastboot indicates
AP Flashboot Flash Mode(S)Flash failure

I powered back up again in Fastboot mode and the same thing happened.

Suggestions would be appreciated.

if im on .79 do i need to got back to .181 they sideload to .211 or can i just sideload to .211 from .79??

Yes, ALL of the leaks MUST be installed FROM devices with .181 on them.

If I am on 209 but the 211 kernel can i just flash 211 via stock revovery?

[fijf4357]

First off everyone Thank you for all the hard work i just came over from my trusty old Droid X after a quick very brief stop at Gnex...i have attempted to load .211 i am currently on 6.12.181 and i am rooted. i dowloaded the update and Matt's latest(awesome stuff BTW...) I added the update to my SD and followed the directions...
here are my results...

[*] Simple Razr Restore
[*] Windows Version
[*] Created by mattlgroff
[*]
[*] Before continuing, ensure your Razr is in the
[*] "AP Fastboot" mode and connected via USB.
[*]--- Also press the keys after the screen flashes back on when asked---
[*] IF YOUR PHONE SAYS STATUS 1 UNLOCKED EXIT NOW AND EMAIL ME
[*] YOU HAVE AN UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER! ! ! ! !
[*](email removed by me)
[*]
[*] Make sure 6.16.211 upgrade is on your SD card, install it
[*] through Motorola Recovery once this finishes. If it errors
[*] you chose the wrong option!

I am confused did i do something wrong? or are the errors expected? i understand the Razr Maxx is a vastly different beast than my DX and i also admit i am very new to the device...Thank you in advance for any help...

Hey Matt, thanks in advance for your dev work for the RAZR as well as the wonderful Dan Rosenberg (what an android beast), I was wondering (and reading the batch job) how come we have to "prep" a stock non-rooted .181 device with option 1 before sideloading the update. Is this .211 leak not like the update.zip that I'm familiar with on my older motorola phones? I just got my phone last weekend so I'm tempted to wait so that I don't accidentally screw anything up or take me off the update path. Do we know of anyone who has downloaded an update.zip via the soaktest yet?

So...... Did SkyNet repurpose RomBot or something?

If you are truly bone-stock you do not "need" the prep. But in the script Matt flashes the ICS recovery image which has proven to be more dependable when flashing ICS leaks from the sdcard instead of the /cache folder that the official OTA will be flashed from.

Matt you freakin' Rock! This is awesome!
Thank you very much for all of your hard work and support!

you have to unzip the stinkin file before you run it...
Matt - maybe you should put in big bold text "unzip the utility file before running". seems this gets asked waaay too much...

[Petezrx1200]

Thanks Matt,
This utility is awesome

[got556]

Also getting the assert failed: mount (ext3, MTD, system, /system)
E: Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)


Would someone please post how to do it in here. Chat is blocked where I'm at right now. I've ran it three times and even reinstalled 181 from 1.6 Utility and then went back again and did 1.7 option 1, then boot into Moto Recovery and flash the update, no dice.

[jtelander]

Is option 1 in Utility 1.7 the same as option 1 in Utility 1.6 ?

I am dead in the water with a flash failure after attempting option 1 in Utility 1.6 on a GB phone running Eclipse.

Can't access the SD card (computer doesn't see the Razr) and wasn't sure if I would make things worse trying option in in 1.7.

On the road 400 miles from home with no phone is not good!

[mechatricity]

I'm going to suggest that all you folks needing help head over to the chat so we can crowd source some solutions.

If option 1 is the same in 1.6 and 1.7 (i don't have 1.7 in front of me) than the part you missed was unstuck .211 (flashing 211 boot image from unstuck utility). Then you can go into recovery and flash the full .211.

Thank you for these awesomely easy to use utilities ....

I am stock. 181 rooted... is there any clear advantage to waiting for the OTA update versus using this utility to skip the wait?

Those two files should fail, that's normal.

So you have never been on an ICS leak?

Can you get to stock recovery from bootloader? If so i would wipe data, go into AP Fastboot, and try to fastboot 181 again...

Have never been on any ICS leaks

Seem to be unable to get to recovery...only AP Fastboot

When booting into recovery..I get error message "Invalid Flash Mode (Boot Failure)

No advantage. Load it now from the utility.
