If you were on the latest firmware, you can't downgrade. That's why you are getting the flash fail. Also, you can't unlock your BL if you're on the last two OTAs. You'll need to flash the most current FW via RSD or House of Moto.
I have a droid razr m that i've had rooted for a short time, it's locked, no custom recovery or anything like that. I accidently hit update for the OTA today when i didn't mean to, and now it won't stay turned on and fastboot comes up with this.
Failed to hab check for recovery: 0x56
Fastboot Reason: Boot failure
Any help would be useful, thanks.
Hi Everyone,
I own Motorola Electrify M (XT901) CDMA handset.
I had unlocked the bootloader, installed recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.4.4-xt907.img and was running CM11 with jellybean bootloader.
I thought of flashing my mobile with stock rom of XT907. So downloaded "VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-10.1_CFC_1FF.xml.zip". After extracting the contents. I executed the following commands to flash the mobile.
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1.mbn
fastboot flash sbl2 sbl2.mbn
fastboot flash sbl3 sbl3.mbn
fastboot flash rpm rpm.mbn
fastboot flash tz tz.mbn
fastboot flash aboot emmc_appsboot.mbn
fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
fastboot flash fsg fsg.mbn
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot flash logo logo.bin
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot erase tombstones
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
Now the mobile is not booting. Please help me to unbrick my mobile.
Regards,
Ramakrishna.

Thanks friend for the quick reply. I realized my mistake. But its too late. Now the mobile is not detected by my pc. Neither I'm unable to flash it using RSD lite nor run commands as it not detected by adb also. When I plugin by device to PC I get message drivers not installed and its asking for drivers of "qhsusb_dload". Currently I'm using windows 7 OS.
Please guide me and help me.

I googled and got the drivers. Downloaded the correct firmware for the mobile. Mobile is getting detected in RSD lite. When I try to flash it, I'm getting "The phone failed to switch to fastboot mode. ".
Please guide me and help me.

You need to boot into fastboot, before plugging the phone into the computer.

The sentences "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin" and "fastboot flash tz tz.mbn" has set off the alarm. You have now hardbricked it because of the bootloader signature NOT belonging to the XT901. Bootloader signatures on both gpt.bin and tz.mbn are different for each models. You might get away with flashing the unofficial XT907 kernel on XT901, although I doubt it due to bootloader differences.
But you may get pretty lucky enough to flash back to the XT901 bootloader. Hope you have enough juice in the battery, otherwise you will have to either make or buy a Motorola factory jig USB cable to force the phone to boot without the battery if s*** hits the fan.

System version? Not android version
Full kernel version?
Sent from my XT907 using Tapatalk
The KitKat update was released last month, so most likely the kernel is "rather new".
It that's the case, Towelroot might be locked out, but it's still possible to unlock the bootloader via Motorola (to install a custom recovery etc.).
system version
its a motorola xt901.. system version 182.44.3.XT901.USC.en.US.... and kernel version 3.4.42-g7f16ba8-00003-gc488536... [email protected] #1.... towelroot will not work.. i tried motochopper but it will not work for the 4.4.2.. kingo will not work or framaroot also will not work..

Hi slgdad,
I have successfully rooted my updated XT901 with 4.4.2 stock rom.
Pre-requisites
1. XT901 bootloader should be unlocked.
The steps I followed
1. Kept the mobile in fastboot mode.
2. Flashed recovery with "ClockWorkMod Recovery v6.0.4.9 for DROID RAZR HD/M" [Link to download]
fastboot flash recovery CWM6049-RAZR-HD_M-KITKAT.img
3. Loaded to recovery, install "update supersu v2.46.zip" by chainfire. I'm not sure if I can provide the link for external sites. Better search on google for the zip file.
And XT901 is rooted. I hope this helps you. Feel free to ask questions.
Note: I have not made any changes to img file or zip file. I have used as is. They are works of their respective owners. I'm just a pointer, indicating the files I used to root XT901. Please do share this post if required.
Regards,
v2k100

Moto Drivers, Firmware, RSD Lite, and other Unbricking Tools
Sent from my XT1060 using XDA Labs
Please help, I was trying to unroot my razr m on 4.1.2 so that i could upgrade to 4.4.2 and root again, but i tried to flash 4.4.2 before i unrooted and my phone got bricked. it just says:
AP Fastboot Flash mode (S)
10.9B(*) (sha-61146a2, 2014-05-02 00:54:39)
eMMC Info: Size 8GB
Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0
Battery OK
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
Fastboot Reason: Flash Failure
usb connected
:crying:
ANY IDEAS?
Well, if you are getting the AP Fastboot screen then your device is not totally bricked.
In order to recover it you will need to connect it to a computer in order to flash a rom through an external utility such as fastboot or rsd lite. I would suggest flashing 182.46.10 as its bootloader is unlockable, if you don't care about that you can flash the latest version 182.46.15.
i love you.

That's the point, you can flash the original firmware (the same one that is currently in your smartphone) even with locked bootloader. Try it before you say it can't be done.
Nope buddy boot loader is locked and system is already installed therefore mi flash tool ia unable to erase it cuz it shows me error cannot erase in lock state i tried flashing stock global rom through mi flash tool
exactly - flash stock rom for fastboot - I've done it multiple times

Try using some older flashing tool and if that doesn't work try using some older Chinese flashing tool and of course the fastboot firmware file in the format *.tgz*.
Ok so i found a mi unlock tool which is a modded verion of original tool what it does is bypass server authentication and unlocks bootloader of device thanks it wont connect to xiaomi for checking device unlocking permission and will unlock it
