[Fixed] Fastboot Flash Logo gone wrong. Fixable? - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I'm about to cry :crying: - hope somebody knows a fix :highfive:
To keep it short, what I've done:
Unlocked my bootloader and installed CWM Recovery.
Everything worked.
Then... lastly I wanted to remove the "Bootloader Unlocked message/image"... and flashed a different logo using following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980139 (which was not intended for the XT890 and JB - rolleyes)
Code:
fastboot flash logo [path to the logo.bin i downloaded]
and it returned
Code:
[B]"None signed image detected. Fastboot command failed.[/B]
Now my XT890 JB 4.1.2 EU stays at the "Bootloader Unlocked Screen" when i try to boot (choosing Recovery, Factory etc from AP).
I'm - as you probably can tell already - NOT an expert, but my hope is: I can "fix" it by flashing the logo again with the original/or compatible logo.bin. (incase this should be possible please provide me with a link to it)
Thanks in advance for any input.

Everything works again
I downloaded the proper stock firmware from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2239706, extracted the logo_signed and ulogo_signed, and then "reflashed" the logo_signed using (again)
Code:
fastboot flash logo [path to the logo_signed file]
My next try would have been flashing the ulogo_signed file, but since everything worked out, I'll surely skip that.
PS: Unless someone suggests, that I also should flash the ulogo_signed file (which somehow I doubt)
Pinky-swear: From now on I'll read the whole threads before doing "anything" and I try to avoid doing "anything" on top
Cheers.

Easy, easy. Just take the .xml file of the rom you're tryng to flash, delete the whole "motoboot" line, and try to flash again with RSD.
You should be fine.
AW: Please help!
What's your Region?
The Motoboot line - Trick only works with an unlocked BL. If he's still locked he needs an actual Fastboot.
Sent from my XT890
The bootloader is unlocked and im from the UK.
Im not sure how and what im supposed to change in the firmware for a successful flash.
Many thanks for all your help.

[Q] Razr xt890i

Hi there
That's my first post, so please be understanding. Bought a Motorola phone as it is (no water damage) which comes to booting logo and after few minutes keep restarting and trying to booting with no results. I've started red some posts, already but i'm stuck. Reset doesn't work (Power button+volume control down), but when i press power button +camera button and plug in with computer, it shows black screen and green led. Already installed MEDFIELD drivers, RSD Lite and xFSTK-DLDR. tried already RSD Lite with no luck (i've downloaded CFC_signed_customer_8.7.1I-110_IFW-DE-31_RTEU.xml and CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml)
Can get to AP Fastboot Flash Mode, but when i tried to do Factory or Recovery gets:
Failed to enter Factory/Recovery mode. error code -18
No more error code, only some kind of "GETVAR" failed

If you came down those 2 firmware must know that one is ICS (8.7), the other JB (9.8) and if you wanted to install the ICS tending JB you've done a hardbrick, so I recommend you search for the thread "Unbrick for downgrading"

1. - Fastboot.exe
2. - logo_signed (must be obtained from the firmware, exploring the zip file) NO DOWNLOAD, draw your own "firmware ZIP (CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml.zip <-- for example)"
sorry for my bad English
Donwload files
http://db.tt/tak1LsuU
note: NO DOWNLOAD logo_signed file is of the firmware: Brasil.en.BR (IS "ICS" NO WORK, YOU DAMAGED YOUR PHONE)
Procedure
1. - Put the downloaded files in a folder in the root "C" on your pc, (I call this folder "Android" for example)
2.- Put the phone in fastboot mode (power button and Vol - squeezing them a few seconds until the screen fastboot mode) and connect with USB the phone to pc
3.- Opening a cmd screen, we stand there, I'm in cmd C:\Android\
4. - cheking with command fastboot devices
5. - Performed the command fastboot flash logo logo_signed
6. - Conducted after ending command fastboot reboot and that's it
7.- enjoy

AND YOU CAN NOT COME TO RECOVERY BECAUSE ERASED PARTITION,
AS YOUR PICTURE
WHERE RECEIVED INSTRUCTIONS TO CLEAR YOUR RECOVERY?
NO YOU ACCESS IT, TO RECOVERY BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO
AND YOU MUST FLASH THE STOCK RECOVERY FIRST TO SEE IF YOU ACCESS TO RECOVERY.
ALSO THAT WHAT TO DO WITH FASTBOOT COMMANDER
what was your firmware that you had installed before this happened to you?
As per picture
It looks like image was installed, what next steps should be done?
Yes, that's my fault. I've tried program and thought that it won't make any effects, because i got messages failed, so unfortunately i erase Recovery partition. Is there anything else what we can do?
Thanks
How can i flash stock Recovery and would it help?

I don't know as i bought that phone from someone who sell it cheap (already not working) and probably that person have no clue what version/name of Android was it there?
Ok, try this, it has nothing to do with the logo u just flashed
i dunno if u already done this. But we are gonna install the stock recovery again and see what happens. Installing a recovery cant kill your device
If by this methode u cant install the recovery, fastboot gives an error, your bootloader is locked.
1. In this thread, download the 1.6 zip version of the recovery flasher. (the flasher is an automated proces, but we do it manually)
2. Open de zip file and extract the "stock.img" to the folder with the fastboot.exe
3. now, reboot the device in fastboot mode (power and volume down) and linked with usb to your pc obviously
4. use the command "fastboot devices" and u get a list of attached devices. If ur device is one of them we are good.
5. use the command "fastboot flash recovery stock.img" to flash the stock recovery. If it works, your device has an unlocked bootlaoder. If it doesn't its locked.
If it is locked, we go through the next step with rsd lite and install the latest JB 4.1.2 image to your device.

had to make a correct flash because if you stay with an "incorrect flash", RSD LITE not work, and in many cases say error, reading the context, "directed to make a flash of SOMETHING" and that would be correct, then with RSD LITE flash the firmware and must not indicated error like before.
to the stock recovery you can flash with the same program that he used wrong
I do not have much that I left the Razr I but I've explained what ... . somewhere in all that I have written must match with you Master.

Don't get me wrong, if I gave you that idea, wasn't my purpose
U did great in presenting a solution for the problem, the only problem is that in my opinion your post wasn't very easy to read for a new guy with a problem. With all the lines/codes that were produces and not set in a container (/code) and with the big red lines that were in the post it wasn't very understandable.
Your English is fine, it is understandable, just the formatting of the post was in my opinion not very good. The solution is good though, maybe with a small sideway, but good.
Just keep it up and help those guys when ever u can. We need those folks like u that help others out!! :thumbsup:

finished. total time: 8.390s
In Motorola phone it says
Unlock
Fastboot command failed
He said that partition table is faulty. It can be done only in Linux or JTAG.
Any advice on this?
We tried this as well:
CMD: fastboot format data
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
formatting 'data' partition...
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
FAILED (remote failure)
FAILED (remote failure)
finished. total time: 0.342s
He said that emmc is faulty that's why fastboot won't work.
Had that problem too... it was due to bad Emmc. Sorry for your loss bro.
It could be indeed an emmc problem, in that case a repair at motorola can only fix it, or u will need to replace the motherboard, that will set u back another 150 dollars.
But, u successfully flashed the logo, so a part of the emmc is still working correctly i assume. btw, my knowledge about emmc problems stops here..
The next steps i should take is the following, we will reformat/partition your device, as far as it goes. But I never done this, didn't need to i only know it is possible. Everything that happens now is on your own responsibility!!
1. Download your correct firmware, must be jellybean 4.1.2 from here(firmware)
2. Extract it content in a folder like "STOCKROM"
3. Download new fastboot files from here (mfastboot,xda)
4. Extract the new mfastboot files in the folder "STOCKROM" if u named it like that.
5. Connect your device with your pc, make sure all drivers are correctly installed, and boot in fastboot mode (power + volume down)
6. Flash each of the partitions in sequence using mfastboot (is like fastboot, but can install files larger then 100mb), you need to enter the following commands one-by-one checking that each one returns an [OKAY]. If it doesnt work, i am out of ideas. sry, but report anyway what happend
7.
Code:
mfastboot flash gpt gpt_signed
mfastboot flash motoboot motoboot
mfastboot flash boot boot_signed
mfastboot flash recovery recovery_signed
mfastboot flash motobp motobp
mfastboot flash system system_signed
mfastboot flash cdrom cdrom_signed
mfastboot erase cache
mfastboot erase userdata
mfastboot reboot
Good luck with it, i will hear from you.
Hazou
btw, erasing 'data' is impossible, fastboot doesn't know 'data', only 'userdata'

None of them are working. Anyway i was in few repair shops in Dublin and none of them can fixed as they stated Motorola isn't popular in Ireland. Mostly i heard "i have no clue" or "You have to send to manufacturer". One of them tried fixed (it takes roughly 3 hours), but also gave up. He said that it's nearly same story with chip which Samsung S3 had. Don't ask me what does it mean, cuz have no idea. Friend of mine who's also user on that forum will fix it as he stated, but don't know if i gonna send it to Poland. At this stage i have to stop any more tests with Motorola as i don't know what i have to do.
Thanks for all support and will keep You inform if something turn up.
Btw. one of Chinese "call him tech-e" broked back cover of Motorola (beside camera, cracked glass), but i noticed it when i left his repair centre.
Thanks
Okey, best of luck!

[Q] MOTO X Bricked

My moto X has a problem , let me show you the log file first
-Unlocked using motorola's website
-Flashed TWRP recovery
-Created a backup
-[MISTAKE 1]Wiped using advanced wipe
-Everything including the backup I created got wiped ,with no OS
-Mounted and tried to install CyanogenMod 11
-[ERROR 1]This rom is supported by ghost xt1053(my model number) ,and your device is . (like just a dot) //Cannot install the zip file
-[BRICKED]
-Then I searched what to do ,downloaded "TMO_213.44.1.ghost_row.Retail.en.US" firmware
-Using fastboot ,I flashed the firmware using the following commands
After downloading the image for your device:
Unzip the image.
Put your device in fastboot mode.
NOTE: You must use the Motorola fastboot utility to flash (included in the Darwin/, Linux/ or Windows/ directory). Please do NOT use the Android fastboot utility
Follow the flashing steps in the .xml file that was included in the package.
A typical flashing sequence includes all these partitions, but might vary depending on your product - so please use the sequence in the .xml file in your package:
$ fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
$ fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
$ fastboot reboot-bootloader
$ fastboot flash logo logo.bin
$ fastboot flash boot boot.img
$ fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
$ fastboot flash system system.img
$ fastboot erase modemst1
$ fastboot erase modemst2
$ fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
$ fastboot reboot
You also have the option to erase all the data on your device with
$ fastboot erase userdata
$ fastboot erase cache
After performing this sequence, you can relock your device with
$ fastboot oem lock​
-It showed an error During locking the device
-The phone finally started working [UNBRICKED?]
-My sim card wasnt detecting
-So I searched more ,and checked my IMEI
-Dialed *#06# and got "IMEI 0"
-For confirmation ,I went again to settings->about->Status
-Everything was fine except "IMEI 0",and "IMEI SV 00"
-I couldnt find anything online except changing my IMEI ,which is ,one: illegal and two: not possible since I do not have Engineering mode app in my phone
-Headed over to the service center and they told me that my motherboard is gone ,you have to pay 291.050 US Dollars to change it
-But if the motherboard is gone ,how can my phone work ?
Here is my question to you guys ,what should I do ? Can I do anything to get my phone working again ? Please help me as I am not using a phone ,and I really need to use this one .
Thanks in advanced
Sorry for my bad English
I think there was a step you missed there when flashing:
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
and it's better to use Motorola fastboot aka mfastboot instead of regular old fastboot. if you don't have it just Google for it.
for a more complete guide see option 5 on this site: http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-ReturnToStock.html
Also there is absolutely no need for that last step you tried, fastboot oem lock... that will relock your bootloader which is totally unnecessary. you don't need it for otas or anything else, and as for warranty your phone is already flagged as unlocked and relocking it won't change that.

It's OK dude first step is to relax and realize that losing imei is not a new thing, it's happened to countless others. what that means is there should be a huge amount of info on what people have tried and what worked and didn't work. You'll find all the info by using Google search and changing keywords.
some keywords to try:
fastboot imei
Motorola recover imei
Restore imei
imei 0
recover imei
efs imei
and so on. if you read through them and feel you're not up to it, or if you try everything and nothing works, you have another option maybe:
Take it in / send it in for repair to Motorola or other (certified) repair shop
good luck.
BTW: The original box the phone comes in has your imei written on it. otherwise you can try the fastboot getvar method but that might or might not work.

Phone not booting after OTA

So today I got an update for a new firmware, it was a small 125 mb patch, no big deal. I downloaded it and installed it a couple of hours later, I leave it to install and when I'm back my phone is frozen on the Motorola logo and the "Powered by android" text written below, but it won't get past that. I left it for almost an hour and it won't boot, I tried forcing a reboot and it gets me back to the same screen.
Is there any way I could fix it, preferably while keeping my data? Especially the what's app gallery.
Thanks a lot guys, I'm kinda panicking here.
Ps. I'm not rooted, everything is completely stock.
it's Stuck on Moto Boto logo ?
Yes. I tried doing a factory reset and that doesn't work either, it sends me right back to the boot logo.
Sorry to not have any solutions but my girlfriends phone has probably had the exact same thing happen. At about 10PM tonight she got an update notification and told it to install. almost two hours later she checked the phone again to see it stuck on the boot logo and incredibly hot. She restarted it and same thing, stuck on the boot logo. Same as you, completely stock phone. Never been modified in anyway.
I had her go into recovery and wipe cache, no change at all. I've now had her do a factory reset twice as some similar problems mentioned that as a solution. No change, still just gets stuck on the boot screen.
My assumption at this point is that this update has completely trashed the phone and it's completely unrecoverable on the device at least.
I'm willing to learn how to install a new rom from scratch if that would help, preferably a stock one. The problem is that Motorola doesn't have any stores where I live, I ordered my phone off amazon.
So is there any method to fix it? You can instruct me if you could or at least tell me what to look for on google.
Thanks a lot man.

My warranty is already over, I just want stock because I like it.
Are you sure a rom installation would work?
Ps. I can't unlock the bootloader since I can't access the OS
Unlock boot loader does not acess to os it is simple

What do you mean?
I'm a total beginner when it comes to android, I'm more of a windows guy. Can you walk me through the steps?
It´s not that easy to guide someone through all the steps. First thing you have to do is unlock your bootloader,described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/wip-unlock-bootloader-moto-g-2nd-gen-t2875728. Read all the steps,it´s not that difficult.
You need all the drivers,by motorola and android, linked in the tutorial. I recomend Minimal ADB and Fastboot instead of Android SDK, it´s easier. Install it in the root of your windows partition,like C:\Minimal ADB and Fastboot. So if you open a command prompt the path is short and you know it.
After the unlock process you´ll need to flash a custom recovery, you can read how to do that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/xt1063-t3018818.
There´s a part called Flashing TWRP Recovery . You don´t need to do that with Flashify (you surely can if you want but I think this way is easier to do), just download the custom recovery TWRP from here: https://dl.twrp.me/titan/.
Place the .img file in the Minimal ADB and Fastboot folder and connect the phone to the PC. After that you open a command prompt again from the Minmal ADB and fastboot folder (open the folder and hold Shift and right click and press "open command window here".
Now type the command
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
When the phone has booted to bootloader type
Code:
fastboot devices
A string of numbers should appear,that means your phone is connected.
Now type
fastboot flash recovery "name of the downloaded TWRP .img file", in your case that should be
Code:
fastboot flash recovery twrp-2.8.6.0-titan.img
Now everytime when you boot to recovery you´ll see a menu with a lot of features like install,wipe,backup,restore etc.
From here you can flash any rom you like, a stock rom, a stock based rom or any other like cyanogen or AOSP.
If you want to flash stock again you´ll need to know the name of your firmware,it differs from country and version. You can search for it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/development/original-motorola-firmware-collection-t3153533.
It´s late now here, if you are at this point and have decided what rom to flash post again or pm me.
I hope my exclamation is understandable and I´ve made no faults, everyone else please correct me then!

Its good guide follow these steps
If you want to go stock, I recommend you to go with the mfastboot method . . .
because it doesn't even need unlocked bootloader or any recovery,
The following link is having a mfastboot folder, in which, Moto G 2014(XT1068) stock 5.0.2 factory firmware is stored and, you just have to extract the folder and open it then pressing & holding shift + RMB and select "Open Command Window Here".
(Now press Power + Volume Down simultaneously, and you should go to the bootloader mode, if you don't know that )
Now in the command window, check your phone is connected with USB and type below code and press Enter.
Code:
fastboot devices
if any code(like for eg. ZDMJK2312) is shown, you're connected,
if not, try reconnecting the USB and try again.
Once properly connected, now you can flash the follwing commands one by one, to get your device to life.
Code:
Moto G 2014 Stock 5.0.2 Restore Script
------------------------------------------------------------------|
mfastboot.exe oem lock begin
mfastboot.exe flash partition gpt.bin
mfastboot.exe flash motoboot motoboot.img
mfastboot.exe flash logo logo.bin
mfastboot.exe flash boot boot.img
mfastboot.exe flash recovery recovery.img
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.0
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.1
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.2
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.3
mfastboot.exe flash system system.img_sparsechunk.4
mfastboot.exe flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
mfastboot.exe erase modemst1
mfastboot.exe erase modemst2
mfastboot.exe flash fsg fsg.mbn
mfastboot.exe erase cache
mfastboot.exe erase userdata
mfastboot.exe oem lock
mfastboot.exe reboot
------------------------------------------------------------------|
BTW this happened to me 6 months back and the same helped me.
mfastboot
Note : The above method is for only the model XT1068, because the firmware in the folder is for that model only, so plz make sure your model before proceeding.
And plz follow each and every step properly.
Thanks . . .
Alright thanks people! I'll try ArtRahul's method since it's easier and i was quite satisfied with stock. If that doesn't work I'll try Wolfcity's method.
Alright, so this is an update. ArtRahul's method works great and it's really easy. If anyone looks for a solution and finds this thread, just make sure you find the exact model of your phone and google the firmware. Here's where I found mine
http://www.droidviews.com/restore-moto-g-2014-to-stock-and-lock-the-bootloader/
It has links to other versions too. Good luck!

you don't have to access to os in order to unlock the bootloader, go to android development section on this forum for moto g 2014 & follow any thread that guides about unlocking bootloader.

Help needed for identifying problem (Stuck in Fastboot)

I have Realme X2 Pro stuck in fastboot mode with bootloader unlocked, unable to access recovery or boot into system. Is there a way to know which variant my phone belongs to, or any details?
Fastboot shows, product name: msmnile, variant: SDM UFS, bootloader and baseband version are empty.
I don't know exactly which variant my phone belongs (EU/IN/CN). Tried flashing three different variants of fastboot flashable images in this order (boot > dtbo > system > vbmeta > vendor), files flashed successfully, but same result. Continious booting into fastboot mode. Also tried booting into recovery directly by using command "fastboot boot twrp.img" which gave an error - command failed (unknown command).
I downloaded the official .ozip file from realme website and extracted the images for flashing through fastboot, but no luck, same scenario.
Tried Realme Flash tool for this file "RMX1931EX_C.27.ofp", after flashing device rebooted into fastboot mode again.
Please help me out, I'm new to this.
I'm in the exact same spot as you. Did you find a fix?
