If webtop is your issue the Razr's webtop will actually flash onto it and would work (I assume it works, I know it flashes).
http://goo-inside.me/apps/mattlgroff/VRZ_XT912_6.5.1-167_DHD-14_M2-5_CFC_1FF_01.xml.zip
Full Razr files ^^^^^ (Just flash webtop.)
Code:
moto-fastboot flash webtop ____.img
(fill in blank with the filename, I forget it lol.)

The problem is that the phone won't charge with the regular charger, and will charge through a USB port on my PC until the bootloader, with the error, splashes on the screen. Weirdest problem I've ever encountered, and I've done a lot of flashing with my OG Droid. My advice:
Always keep your OG Droid around in case you brick a new phone.

Try booting it holding the vol up and down buttons to get to the boot menu and selecting the last option "BP Tools" and it should boot up and allow the phone to charge normally.
Nonetheless, until a full xml.zip is leaked, we have no certain method for restoring soft bricked phones.

[Q] [SOLVED] AP Fastboot Flash Mode (s) (Boot Failure)

Ok so here's the rundown. I was trying my hand at making the elder scrolls:daedric runes font work for my phone. Got it pretty close, was using fresh type to change some of the preinstalled system fonts. (if you have any idea how i can install a custom font package that would be wonderful as well). but anyway, it asks me to reboot then bam, won't start up.
after reboot after reboot, i decide to say screw it, i pop it into recovery mode and factory reset it. I figure oh well, not much gets lost. turn it back on, still no luck. I give it another go, no luck that time either, i remove both the sim and the SD card and go again, still no money.
At this point i download the full fxz, and RSD lite 5.5 and i boot up into AP fastboot mode and procede to start flashing. Goes well till it hits about step 13 or 14 when then it says fail. I try to restart the phone thinking no big, it probably doesn't need webtop just to boot, now it says
Invalid CG OTV (CG: system): Invalid SP Data
Invalid CG OTV (CG: webtop): Invalid SP Data
Invalid CG Version (CG: webtop)
Invalid CG OTV (CG: webtop)
To make matters worse, regardless of what i try to flash ( at this point i'm not even sure if it's flashing) nothing seems to bring it past the AP Fastboot start screen. I've tried the minimal version, the full version with rsd lite. I've tried the standalone fastboot transfer method by moving each image file individually with the ADB daemon. What's infuriating is that each flash says success except for the full FXZ... yet it still never boots past the AP fastboot screen. I might be missing something, i was browsing the forum looking for answers nothing is coming up.
Ran across a few posts about a locked bootloader. Would that have any affect on this? Another few bits of useful info, my battery is full, i have an external charger, i'm running this on a laptop, i have access to a desktop but it's my room mate's and is in his room so i want to disturb him as little as possible, so unless it makes a profound difference i'd like to use my laptop. Any info would be great guys.
Looking forward to some help. I'm about exhausted.

I've already tried that, and just tried again, finishes, says okay on all steps then when it asks me to root it reboots and goes to the same screen as i mentioned in OP.
bump?............
Solved it. For future reference, if the problem isn't solved with one click root you'll need to use the full version of the fxz. In addition, using the back of a desktop vs a Laptop makes ALL the difference! USE A DESKTOP.

i was able to get my Bionic to the point where i want it..however, whenever the phone powers up or reboots, it ALWAYS goes to the AP Fastboot Screen with the "flash failure" message...i have to turn the phone back off, hold both volume buttons down, press the power button, go into the menu screen and choose "normal POWERUP" and things go along fine.....what can i do to repair my Fastboot function so i don't have to go through this procedure every time. Have tried RSD Lite, but get the same flash failed message

I need help with this as well my bionic is doing the same thing. Im supposed to be selling it has anyone found a fix for this..?
all you have to do is successfully flash any file and it will stop giving you the flash failure message
IE pick a file flash it using fastboot and voila problem solved. I know this because i ran into this issue when messing with my bootloader research.
Flashing
I went back to stock and applied the update. I tried to root and failed so I tried to flash back to stock. I am stuck entering fastboot like you guys. I can start the phone in recovery but I am looking for a fix. I see that you wrote flash any file to get it to stop. Can you provide some specifics on how you did this and what file you flashed. The one I tried to flash will end in flash failure.
yeah sure:
put the files from the fxz in same folder as adb and fastboot. Reboot into fastboot mode make sure you have drivers for phone.
fastboot flash devtree device_tree.bin
simple and will not loose a thing doing this one.
should clear up your flash failure.

Fastboot Bricked

I tried flashing the unblurred rom onto my bionic, i wiped everything as told in the insturctions after making a recovery from bootstrap. When I went to choose zip file, there was no files to be found on my device, so i went to try and recover my recovery made earlier since i wiped everything else. Now my phone is stuck at:
AP fastboot flash mode (s)(boot failure)
0a.53
Battery OK
OK to program
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
Invalid CG OTV (cg: webtop): invalid sp data
invalid cg version (cg:webtop)
invalid cg otv (cg:webtop)
I have tried flashing with RSD Lite and it fails every time, and i have tried flashing with the one click restore, it goes through the whole program and when it reboots, it goes back to this screen, how can i recover from this.
Try pulling the battery, plug into computer, put battery back in... hold down volume,push power button....that should bring you back to fast boot.....now try one click...

another suggestion....i went through another period where nothing would work and I ended up reinstalling the moto driver...when you double click the driver to run, it will pop up saying something about the driver exists and a choice will come up "fix"...click fix...once its done, try again....crossing my fingers
so thank you all but whatever i did totally bricked this thing, luckily vzw had no clue about it so they are overnighting me a new bionic. i hope its not a refurbished unit.
Hey man if you get a refurbished bionic check the earpiece, the one they tried to give me was crackling really bad even at low volume. I sent it right back.

One click always seems to work miracles for me. If you can get to fastboot, you can probably restore.

You ass.. You soft bricked your phone and return it to VZW??? It is because of people like you that bootloaders continue to be locked.
Hope you enjoy committing fraud..
Don't play the game if you are not prepared to pay!
I haven't tried the 1 click restore and root yet, but I probably should as many times as i SBF.
I just use RSDLite to restore and pete's moto root tools to get root again.
Those of you having problem with RSD Lite, you're probably on a 64bit computer. I notice there's some compatibility issues with RSD and 64bit. That's why I have a 64 and a 32bit desktop side by side
It's actually pretty easy to get dumped into fastboot on power up, especially if you've been poking around in fastboot.
Some of the fastboot commands trigger a state where the phone thinks you're about to reflash and considers it a failed attempt if you don't, booting you back into fastboot so you can try again. This is pretty easy to figure out; just hold both volume buttons on powerup to get the boot menu and then try selecting normal boot. If normal boot works, then you can either keep using that at bootup or flash any cg and it'll stop going into fastboot.
Still not working? All of the partitions (cgs) are signed, it's a cryptographic checksum at the end of the partition that proves nothing's been modified. When the signature doesn't match the contents you'll be dropped into fastboot with complaints about that particular cg. Only option is to reflash that partition back to stock. The large partitions like system and webtop only need to be checked once, and after the phone is happy that they've been checked you can root and modify them as long as you're careful not to trip up whatever mechanism forces it to recheck.

Possible Brick. Help PLEASE!

So today, my data completely quit working. Called VZW Tech Support and they couldn't help because I didn't have access to another phone, this is my only one. So I just figured I'd try to get it working myself by restoring to stock and installing the latest updates. Well, I couldn't get the 5.7 to install using any of the methods I've seen here. I decided I'd wipe everything and use R3L3AS3D 2.1 to restore. In teh process of wiping data and such, I accidentally wiped the webtop partition. THat is the only thing I did that was out of the ordinary. I tried to use R3L3AS3D to restore adn it seemed to do its thing, but I can't get past the fastboot screen. I have also tried to use all of the FXZ files with RSD Lite, every tim eit says flash failed. On teh Fastboot screen it says
Invalid CG OTV (CG: webtop): Invalid SP Data
Invalid CG HAB (CG: webtop,status: 0x004E)
Invalid CG OTV (CG: webtop)
I hope I didn't screw up permanently. CAn anyone shed some light or have any suggestions?

You're only bricked if you can't even bring up fastboot. Try the one click restore and root program.

I've tried that several times as noted in the OP unless there is another one. It seems to work, but when the phone reboots it goes directly into the fastboot screen.
everything I do throws an error flashing the boot image
Have you tried both of these from step 1?

Maybe 5.6 too then.
I'm still on 5.5.893
I saw no reason to try and upgrade.
Did you try holding down the volume rocker to get into the boot menu and select "normal boot"? I was just having some issues with RSD Lite and had to unplug because the file I was trying to flash (a stock /osh partition) wasn't working. It kept coming up with the fastboot "SBF Flash Failed" screen every time I would power off/on the phone and I had a serious pucker moment. I tried getting into the boot menu and just choose normal boot and it worked.
Did you pull your battery at all after the issues and then try the forever root method where you go back to 5.5.886 image and then do the forever root???

Bricked Bionic researching for days PLEASE HELP

I will start with the back story and the stupid mistakes I've made so far. I had my Bionic set up with Safestrap 3.11 with a 4.22 rom in slot one. I erased however my stock rom by accident. From there it always booted up in AP fastboot. I could go in to normal bootup and select the 4.2.2 rom to run but is was buggy. In an attempt to fix it and start all over. I've tried running through the RSD lite and FXZ with the .246 file. Well now I get
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Boot Failure)
0A.72
Battery OK
Cannot Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
Invalid CG OTV (CG:system): Invalid SP Data
Invalid CG HAB (CG:Ststem, status:0X004E)
Invalid CG OTV (CG: system)
I can hold down both volumes and get the phone to allow me to select AP Fastboot, however from there is I run RSD lite and .246 it runs through the entire process saying PASS, bit when it reboots, it shows the above screen error. If i try to select recover, it shows the Boot Failure message above.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if Im out of luck. Please tell me so I dont waste any more time on this.
Thank you!!

Boot Loop When Flashing ROMs

Hey guys I'm not exactly experienced with troubleshooting these kinds of problems. Hopefully I can learn something with the help of the community. I'll go ahead and lay out the situation and problem.
Problem:
Whenever I flash a rom with CWM, the phone will either A: Get stuck on a blank screen with the green LED on or B: Go through the boot animation and crash on "preparing android" and loop the process.
Info:
My AT&T Atrix HD has an unlocked bootloader, I have had several successful flashes in the past, and they have all worked well. I am able to flash the stock firmware back to the phone and it will load just fine. I have tried to go back to stock and start over, but I keep getting the same result. I've tried multiple roms with no change. This started happening when I was trying to load HoloBlur X according to the directions. It went through the whole installation in CWM without errors, but boot looped until it went dead. I did format and clear all the caches and all that too.
I'm not really sure what I'm missing here. I just hope someone might have a suggestion for me.
Thanks in advance for any help!
you could try format system in cwm

Are you using a version of Safestrap recovery or are you ABSOLUETLY positive that you are using a custom recovery? Most newer ROMs (4.1 and up) usually require you to use a custom recovery.
I'm sure he knows the difference between the 2.

If you indeed are positive that you flashed the correct custom recovery, then follow these steps to fully Wipe, Restore to stock, and reflash.
Please read all of these steps before attempting to follow them!
** Note: I am not responsible for any damage done to your phone by following these instructions. **
Charge your device to a reccomended 80% (at least)
Make sure you have a Windows computer
Download the latest USB drivers from Motorola
Boot into your current recovery and make a nandroid backup, just in case.
Boot your device into Fastboot by powering off device and holding the Power+Volume Up+Volume Down and scrolling using the Volume Down button.
Plug your device into your computer
Download Fastboot if you don't already have it. (A simple Google search should result in a download link)
Type "fastboot erase data"
Type "fastboot erase cache"
Type "fastboot erase system"
Type "fastboot erase boot"
Type "fastboot reboot"
All of these commands should pass without conflict.
Your phone should reboot, but have no bootable OS. Don't panic if you get this error. Just manually power off your device and put it in bootloader mode once again (Power+Volume Up+Volume Down).
After that, follow these steps to flash to stock.
Download and install RSD Lite 6.1 here : www.mediafire.com/?3ckiknmwcpjolb2
Download the correct Fastboot Package for Jellybean here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/dinara/list.php -- It should be MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA.xml.zip for 4.1.1 Jellybean on AT&T.
Make sure your phone is in bootloader mode with the directions in the first set of instructions and select Fastboot flash mode.
Open RSD Lite and select the downloaded Zip file in the box at the top.
Your device should appear at the list view towards the bottom of the screen. Click it and the "Start" button should be clickable. Click start and wait.
Wait for RSD Lite to say success and do not unplug it until the phone COMPLETELY BOOTS UP.
After all of this, you can now root, unlock bootloader, flash CWM, and install your custom rom. This should take care of any bootloops while installing Custom ROMs.
Click the thanks button if I helped!
PM me if you have any problems during this so I can help!
lol no, I'm not using a safestrap. I'm using a CWM Recovery.
I will give the rsd method a try tonight. thank you guys for all the help so far. luckily i have another phone to use in the meantime.

Okay. Make sure to tell us the results! Good luck!
I had very similar problems because I unwittingly attempted to flash the wrong cwm recovery file... which seems to have affected the Boatloader behaviour. I made it to #6 of the RSD steps in the help offered by lucasantarella (I was using RSD Lite 6.1.4), but the flash fails with:
Model Port No. Port Type IMEI / ESN / MEID Status Progress Result
Fastboot QINARA S 1 USB N/A Failed flashing process. Unknown fastboot command. (getvar) FAIL
Here's the complete story on the phone:
Brand new Factory Atrix HD, 4.1.1.
Installed MythTools (V1.1) on Windows XP and downloaded the USB Motorola Drivers
Used MythTools to unlock the bootloader
Installed superuser-4.3-beta2.zip
Installed ROM Manager 5.5.2.0 (which I can't use until the customized CWM for AHD is installed)
Downloaded mb886-cwm-6.0.3.6-touch-recovery-flashable-signed.zip
Using MythTools, I selected the wrong recovery file (selected a stock cwm instead) which failed to flash,
and the bootloader is now reporting a Flash failure. Here's the entire screen:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
10.9B(*) (sha-2e68372, 2012-11-17 23:33:08)
eMMC Info: Size 8GB
Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3
Battery OK
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
Fastboot Reason: Flash Failure
usb connected
When I power it down and then hold the vol + and - together, I get the following menu:
Boot Mode Selection Menu (10.9B)
Vol Up Selects, Vol Down Scrolls
Available Boot Modes:
Normal Powerup
Recovery
AP Fastboot
Factory
BP Tools
Selecting any of those puts the AHD into the stock AT&T 4.1.1 normal screen and its ready for use.
Using Myth Tools to "Reboot normally" (option A) does the same thing as Option B, "Reboot to fastboot mode", which puts me back into the fastboot screen showing "Flash failure".
It appears that I'm locked to 4.1.1... because of Bootloader problems.
Any comments/thoughts/insight? It's been a year since I did any flash/RSD work and have poured over the various pages/threads on the AHD for the last three days... Apparently I didn't read enough...
Am currently using a Motorola Bravo running the CyanogenMod-72-20120506-NIGHTLY-Kobe and was hoping to migrate up to the AHD.

If you indeed are positive that you flashed the correct custom recovery, then follow these steps to fully Wipe, Restore to stock, and reflash.
Please read all of these steps before attempting to follow them!
** Note: I am not responsible for any damage done to your phone by following these instructions. **
Charge your device to a reccomended 80% (at least)
Make sure you have a Windows computer
Download the latest USB drivers from Motorola
Boot into your current recovery and make a nandroid backup, just in case.
Boot your device into Fastboot by powering off device and holding the Power+Volume Up+Volume Down and scrolling using the Volume Down button.
Plug your device into your computer
Download Fastboot if you don't already have it. (A simple Google search should result in a download link)
Type "fastboot erase data"
Type "fastboot erase cache"
Type "fastboot erase system"
Type "fastboot erase boot"
Type "fastboot reboot"
All of these commands should pass without conflict.
Your phone should reboot, but have no bootable OS. Don't panic if you get this error. Just manually power off your device and put it in bootloader mode once again (Power+Volume Up+Volume Down).
After that, follow these steps to flash to stock.
Download and install RSD Lite 6.1 here : www.mediafire.com/?3ckiknmwcpjolb2
Download the correct Fastboot Package for Jellybean here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/dinara/list.php -- It should be MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA.xml.zip for 4.1.1 Jellybean on AT&T.
Make sure your phone is in bootloader mode with the directions in the first set of instructions and select Fastboot flash mode.
Open RSD Lite and select the downloaded Zip file in the box at the top.
Your device should appear at the list view towards the bottom of the screen. Click it and the "Start" button should be clickable. Click start and wait.
Wait for RSD Lite to say success and do not unplug it until the phone COMPLETELY BOOTS UP.
After all of this, you can now root, unlock bootloader, flash CWM, and install your custom rom. This should take care of any bootloops while installing Custom ROMs.
Click the thanks button if I helped!
PM me if you have any problems during this so I can help!

Having a tough time going back to stock. Decided to give lucasantarella's wipe and restore process a go. At step #8 I got this:
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
C:\>fastboot devices
TA30001GGN fastboot
C:\>fastboot erase data
erasing 'data'...
Invalid partition name data
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.105s
C:\>
I've ensured that I have the latest drivers installed and have the latest fastboot. Any help on what to try next would be appriciated. Thanks.
Edit: Would trying leanix's post on using the command lines be advisable for me at this time? PhilZ touch and CM 11 are currently installed on my device. PhilZ seems to run ok but clearing the dalvik cache doesnt seem to work and all I get is the arrow spinning around CM's head on bootup.

If you're trying to wipe user data/do factory reset through fastboot, try "fastboot -w". Also are you using the snapdragon fastboot?
