Please remember:

THIS USES THE AP FASTBOOT MODE

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF CHARGE TO DO THIS!!!!
80% OR HIGHER IS PREFERABLE JUST TO BE SAFE

NOBODY LIKES A DEAD, HALF PROGRAMMED PHONE

　

NOTE: As of right now I personally have been unable to fully test this (as I do not have my Razr HD yet)

so if anyone is willing to test this, please feel free to and please post if it works for you, or not

so we can make adjustments/fixes as needed.....

　

thank you

A HUGE THANX GOES OUT TO ALL WHO HAVE TESTED THIS FOR ME

I COULD NOT HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU

Thank you to again to everyone!

Took the dive im using the the verizon razr hd maxx. Got the utiltiy to work. When i was doing the final reboot the phone kept booting into ap fasboot mode and gives this message at the bottom of the screen.

"No valid PIV block in SP for system
piv validation failed (system)
Fastboot Reason: Boot Failure"

This is what it boots to whenever you power on the phone.

Hmmm.... i will look into it right away.... are you able to run the windows version (so you may regain use of your phone).... while i check the script etc in the utility

UPDATE.....VERY IMPORTANT!!!!! As far as i can see your boot failure was caused by an error in the script.... and for that i apologize.... i am correcting it right now and will PM you the new script and update the OP with it also.... thank you for testing it....

[johnthehillbilly]

UPDATE....VERY IMPORTANT.... DUE TO AN ERROR IN THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT... THIS UPDATED SCRIPT MUST BE PUT IN PLACE OF THE ORIGINAL....

... THIS IS IMPERATIVE OR YOU WILL BE SOFT-BRICKED..... i will update the OP as soon as i am not mobile..... thank you

[johnthehillbilly]

OP has been updated with two temp download links for the new script .... Reminder.... this is a critical and required update for this utility...... .. thank you ....

[EmericanX]

good job on putting this together man! I'm sure i'll have to use it at some point... sure makes it easier then doing everything manually. lol

Probably a stupid question, but how do I actually run this utility on my Mac?

[johnthehillbilly]

Probably a stupid question, but how do I actually run this utility on my Mac?

The LinuxMacDroidRazrHD.sh file is the executable (make sure you get the updated one) .... extract the utility, open terminal, navigate to where you extracted by cd "/where/you/extracted/utility"... then type./LinuxMacDroidRazrHD.sh.... should work for you...

[wilcoxen.4]

You'll have to forgive me...total noob when it comes to this kind of stuff on a mac, but I don't have a PC with me right now.. How do I extract the utility? It doesn't show up as a .exe file, when I open it, it just brings up the code in Text Editor. I have it saved to the desktop..

[wilcoxen.4]

How do I extract the utility?

[EmericanX]

Extract the downloaded zip to an empty folder that's easy to find. Open terminal(or whatever is called in Mac) then change directory to where you placed the extracted zip. On Linux you would then simply run the script via terminal by entering the script name followed by pressing enter. I'm not 100% sure on a Mac setup but I'm assuming it would be pretty similar.. once the script is run it'll do the rest. You'll have to press enter a few times after each fastboot reboot-bootloader... but it will tell you when that's needed.

Since i had my head up....(somewhere it shouldnt have been) ... i did not include a read me for this utility.... however... you can look over this one

it was written by stealthmouse for a different utility but the basic setup for Mac is the same.... hopefully this will provide some insight untill i can get a current read me written.....

I used your new script and i'm getting the same error. it sends an error when writing system


"writing 'system'... INFOProtocol error (multiflash unexpected)

FAILED (remote failure)"

is there a way to get out of this?

[msassounian]

I was able to go back to stock ICS via windows (not with the mac version). just a heads up to anyone else reading this thread...

i am looking into the errors (again) right now...... i am glad that you were able to use the windows utility

its a problem with the fastboot available for Linux. I ran into the same issue running the commands by hand with the full system image. With smaller images such as aosp the flash goes through fine. problem is the official img is to large for the flash buffer and the bootloader doesn't like the old version of moto-fastboot. im gonna try to contact moto to see if I can possibly get an updated Linux fastboot.

i kinda had a feeling it may be something like that..... just couldn't put my finger on it..... thanx for helping out...

[EmericanX]

No problem man! Trust me I've had a couple rounds with it already lol... I have posted in their forum so hopefully we can get an answer soon!

.... I'm assuming they have the correct version of fastboot we need considering android is developed primarily via Linux... but who knows! Lol...

Edit: Matt pointed the direction for this....

For those that need the utility in Linux replace your current fastboot file in the utility with the one from that zip and give it a go! Feel free to give feedback to let everyone else know if it works as needed.

thanx again for your help with this..... also thanx Matt as well hopefully these work better for everyone i did notice that there is only one file for Linux and only one for Mac(Darwin) ..... does this mean we no longer need to write the script to accomodate the difference between 32 bit and 64 bit? I really hope so
