Hello, I am new to this forum.
I will try to explain the best that I can about how I got into this situation.
I was previously running on ICS 4.0.4(don't really know if it is .211 or .214 or something.). I tried to root it using Matt's Droid Razr Utility 1.7. I didn't really know what to do and was stupid enough to follow the video in the help thread(which was for upgrading from GB rather than rooting an ICS). Then I panicked.
I used option 1, followed by option 9, followed by option 3, followed by option 2, and then all four in random orders. Later on, I realized that I had to recover from the .211 file in the sd card after option 1(failure on my part). However, now whenever I try to enter recovery, I get Invalid Flash Mode Boot failure, whereas a normal boot will give me Invalid Flash Mode Flash failure.
I tried to use ADB tools and it didn't work.
Then I tried Utility 1.81. My driver is the same as the one provided, and the cable is the one that came along with the charger and phone.
My phone carrier is Singtel.
Any way out of this? Thanks in advance.

if so try to grab an image in development section wich you can place on your phone with RSD lite.

I can enter fastboot, and only fastboot. Attempting to enter any BP or recovery will result in the failures.
I just downloaded a stock rom for my phone. I'll see how it turns out.
Thank you for your time.
im in a similar situation, my phone is bricked, how do u enter fastboot? and where can i get a rom to use in rsd lite?

Since the thread name is Droid razr i think it is xt912
Go fast boot (power off your phone[if you cant then push and hold vol down+vol up and power button the same time, when you see your display flashed quickly release all buttons and press them again and hold- you should get boot menu and then use vol down to get on AP fastboot and use vol up to select it]).
Then use rsd lite and FXZ files to get your phone running, no need for any kind of wipe after this. Wait until rsd lite says finished.
What fxz files do I use? I've tried like 3 different ones and they always fail

It will work if you had chosen the right package, just choose the original package of you phone, specified your model and region. Find out here
sbf.droid-developers.org
Then boot in AP Fastboot or some other, USB connected, then RSD Lite will show there was a device connected. unzip the package you downloaded, open the XXXXXXXX.xml in RSD Lite and click start.........After a little while, everything back to normal

Thank You! IT WORKED! I give you a thank you
My photon is stuck in a loop while booting thru the initial Motorola splash screen. Here is what happened:
- was running MIUI v4 by Th3Bill (standard install)
- wanted to upgrade and during that change to the Aroma installer
- did a factory reset (full, had USB debugging enabled. After the factory reset it booted back into "virgin" MIUI
- used RSDlite to flash 154_5 sfb, all seemed well (had "repaired" Motorola drivers before)
- removed battery, let sit for a minute or so, inserted, turned on and got the Motorola splash screen loop.
- I am able to get into RSD mode, so I tried installing 198_7 sfb, with same result.
- went into Fastboor, select Android Recovery: it gives me a screen with the Android robot and a little attention sign
Where to go from here?? Please help!
BTW, am a bit new to this ... if you could please elaborate on your advice a bit. Thanks :fingers-crossed:
Well you could go into fastboot. Erase system then enter rsd and flash your sbf. Or unlock via rsd install cwm via fastboot enter cwm format system data and cache then rsd and flash sbf.

Thanks!
What option in fastboot allows me to erase the system, I have
NvFlash
BP HW Bypass RSD
BP HW Bypass QC DLOAD
BP HW Diag & Boot AP
BP HW Bypass BP Only
BP SW Bypass RSD
Android Recovery (Note: which isn't working anymore)
Boot Android (No BP)
Device UID
console=tty50,115200n8
Early USB enumeration
BP Tools
RSD
And once I get there is there a sub-menu or commands I need to use?
I'm gonna have to try this tonight EST after work, and will report back (or ask more q's). Thanks so much for your help!
You have to use moto-fastboot on the pc while the phone is in fastboot mode.

You may also try one more route.
After getting into Android Recovery, when you see the Android with the yellow triangle, press Vol Up and Vol Dn at the same time. You will get options. Wipe data & cache. You should be able to boot up fine after that.

Are you talking abiout the method "Relocking without Full SBF flash" described in the Lokifish Marz Photon Compendum?
If so is the file stock_recovery.smg part of the Moto-Fastboot installation, or where can I find it? The link provided at the2dcour's [PUDDING] Photon/Electrify Pudding bootloader unlock post is dead
I found the nopudding4u.sbf file in the Shabbypengiun post on ACS.
Thanks!

That worked!! You saved my sorry butt, thank you so much!! :laugh:
Edit: I just tried to get into Android Recovery and realized i still get the yellow triangle warning. Does this mean I lost Stock Recovery? What to do? Can i get it back when flashing 154_5 again? I might need it if I take the phone to Sprint for any repairs later on. BTW: the phone boots and functions fine otherwise except I can't get unlocked.
Thoughts?
Hello,
I've searched for help on this and can't seem to find any.
Problem: Motorola Razr is stuck on the red m logo, but I cannot boot into the boot menu to flash via RSD or anything. The logo is offset to the left a little and has a small 1-2 pixel high rainbow of colors across the bottom. When trying to boot into the menu with power and vol + & - it simply boots without a logo but still the small bar of colors.
Probable cause: Phone's screen wasn't turning on and the phone wouldn't turn off so I did the reset with vol up and power while the phone was still probably on. Before when my phone's button wasn't responsive i used that to reset it and it had worked.
Info on phone and rom:
Rom - Rage rom 2.2 upgraded from 2.1 (worked for the past two months fine)
Phones base version: 98.72.16 (the april JB release) flashed via droid razr utility
Safestrap version 3.11
What I've tried: was going to try rsd flashing but i can't reach the boot menu.
Basic summary: Stuck on M logo and can't get into boot menu or safestrap, after holding vol up + power while phone was on.
Going into the boit manager and flashing via rsd lite both are different .
For flashing via rsd lite ya need to switch off ya mobile and then press both volume down and volume up at same time and press power button then.
It ll take ya into the bootloader and then using power down come till 3rd option ap fastboot and then press power up to select that now connect ya phone to pc and then flash the fastboot using rsd lite
Edit : make sure ya have installed appropriate drivers to get recognise ya phone by rsd lite
Thanks!!
Please hit the thanks button if i helped ya in anyways !!!

I had MIUI on my Razr and today i wanted to try CyanogenMod, so i downlaoded it and installed it with ClockWorkMod, then rebooted and struck in the big red M, and no way to access the boot manger because if i press volume up + volume down + power it reboot, show the big red M then black sceen, and if it's conneced to my pc it tryes to install some drivers bit it fail, but still black screen

Ya can't use boot manager and cwm recovery both . If ya want to use cwm ya need to remove all the files of bmm . Its just soft bricked not hard bricked so no need to worry just flash the appropriate fastboot file using rsd lite to get back to stock
Thats it
Edit : i think ya know the flashing method

Thanks for trying but I tried following your instructions to get into fast boot and the screen just goes dark. Also when plugging into my PC it pops up on windows' end saying that a USB device has malfunctioned. I think I may just get it replaced under warranty unless sometime soon I find out theres a new way to fix it. But yeah it seems its too hard to tell if I'm actually in fastboot or if its even getting there properly.
Thanks!
As far as i know ya have tried all the unbrick method , none of them seemed to work . I believe ya razr is not soft or hard bricked and its not software problem too . Its hardware problem ya need to take it to service centre because it may be LED problem
Thanks!!

How I fixed my Motorola Razr i (Intel)
Hello guys,
Since my Motorola Razr i phone is a company phone where I receive my corporate emails, I wasn't allowed to root the phone whatsoever.
My phone got stuck on the Red Motorola logo under normal usage. One day I turned it off and when I turned it back on, I had this problem.
How I solved it:
1) Downloaded and installed RSD Lite 6.1.4 which worked on Windows 8.1. Ensure all drivers are installed and that nothing is undetected in Device Manager. #important
2) I am based in Germany and I had the Vodafone Retail (EU) version. So I downloaded "CFC_9.8.2I-50_SMI-26_S7_USASMIJBRTEU.xml.zip" from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=13. This corresponds to Android 4.1.2 Retail Europe.
3) I booted the phone in Fastboot (Power + Vol down; after restart and little vibrate, release power, keep finger on Vol down.)
4) The phone was detected in RSD Lite. I chose the zip file, unpacked and flashed.
5) Done. Phone was fresh. No warranty was void, nothing was rooted. All good.
Hope that helps somebody out there!
Cheers,
Shailen.
I've got the same issue. Took the OTA (was on stock OTA, rooted). Not, nothing but moto-logo with the only working option being AP Fastboot. Tried script utility to bring back to 4.1.2, but it fails on writing system and boot (preflash validation failed FAILED (remote failure)).
Is there another way to get the stock images flashed on there?

Well, with RSDLite 6.1.6 and the most recent build from droid-developers . org I'm back in operation. Old version, wiped out, but at least I can make/receive phone calls.
How I got my Razr HD (XT925) Working! Flashed It WITHOUT LOSE ANY FILES!
I know this is a old thread, but if some one else falls here just like me, I had a problem with my XT925 too, and figured out that my only choice was to flash it up.
My phone was stuck in the red motorola logo, and it doesn't even tried to load the android.
After reading a lot of information and tried EVERYTHING, I fall here, and the comment of @shailentj saved my phone!
So I basically followed the steps that @shailentj posted in this very thread, with some differences.
1 - His link goes directly to Motorola RAZR i (XT890), but if you access ' sbf.droid-developers.org ' (I can't post links yet) you will be able to find your own model, which in my case was Razr HD (XT925).
2 - Extracted the whole firmware package (.zip file) and edited the .xml file, removing the "getvar" line. If you don't know what or how to do this, is just remove the line where you find the text "getvar". If you have trouble, just google it, there is a lot of information.
And finally, the reason I'm here. I found a way to don't delete USER DATA! My phone stuck, and I did't have any backup of my contacts (that is a lot of numbers) nor my files (photos, movies).
So I start to read the .xml file, and find a step "userdata", with operation "erase". This line says to erase the user's data partition, and in most cases, we don't want that.
Then, just remove the line in the xml written: " <step operation="erase" partition="userdata"/> ", and your files (may) not be erased!
4 - I start to flash, and then I got the infamous message "sistem_signature" failed. The solution was just download the last RSD I found (which in my case was 6.1.6).
5 - My phone restarts, with everything working great, system restored and ALL MY FILES AND CONTACT NUMBERS were there!
So very thank you @shailentj, your post really helped me a lot!
And yeah, you can flash your phone without lose any contacts or photos!
Now go, and spread the word!

My device is: Motorola atrix 4g mb860 AT&T.
I used my phone as usual, and it seemed it went out of battery (possibly), when I tried to power it up it said:
"Failed to boot 2
Starting RSD mode" and got stuck, however, if I take out the battery and try to power it up again it will show the same issue, I cant enter the fastboot protocol support if powering it up while holding the volume up key, it just stucks, I cant either enter the selection of modes if powering it up while holding the volume down key way, it brings me to a black screen.
Ive read about this RSD Light and stuff, tried to flash 3 different sbf files, or more, after trying to flash it shows this in the device:
"Failed to boot 2
Starting RSD mode
sec_exception febe 35, 35", the phone get stucked, and in the program it says "FAILED" under the tab "Result", however, it happens only after the status of the phone in the program "Waiting for re-enumeration" changes to "Failed flashing process. Phone[0000]; Phone did not re-enumerate after RAM-downloader was sent. (0x703E)".
When i take the cable of the phone out and do a restart to it, I'm back to the first problem at the beginning, Failed to boot 2, Starting RSD mode.
It seems someone had a samiliar problem to me, but he used clocked and stuff... his thread:

I had put the recovery via bootstrap
I know you help?
Can you get into AP fastboot? It's an option you select after getting into the default recovery menu. If you can, then connect it to pc and try flashing a stock JB ROM with RSD Lite. You might need to charge the phone if the battery has run down. You should be able to get it to charge... Just play around.
