hello xda users.
I'm the owner of a Razr EMEA.
I tried 2 times to flash my Razr to a Stock rom. ( I have an O2.en.DE stock rom, 2.3.6 ) I wanted to flash it to another stock rom say , retail.en.eu but it failed,
I also tried to flash to ICS ( through the eternity Project and it failed to )
I have only Linux , I don't have any acces to a windows machine, please suggest me only solution which can be accomplied with a linux machine.
I searched the web with steps by step guide, but It seems it missed always something. please, when you alredy flashed your razr through linux, show me how you did it. my razr is not rooted. I have android SDK installed and it is operational.
So here is what I want :
moving from the stock rom O2.en.DE to a retail one, say retail.en.EU
thanks
Have a look at EternityProject's Fla****

I already follow these step it failled. I think the comes from the fastboot file. may be could someone point me to a fastboot file which works well.
i tried many from this page : sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_spyder/ list. php but it failed.

Questions belong in Q&A
I wanted to let you know I find a solution .
I did as follow:
using only a linux machine , I setted the android sdk, and from the unzipped Stock rom folder ( ICS) I executed the fasboot_image.sh file:
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
sudo fastboot_image.sh
NB: I have move both the adb and fastboot files to /usr/bin so they are globaly accessible. fastboot_image.sh is just a script which continually run fastboot , so ensure first your fastboot can see your phone
Well, this is exactly what Fla**** does without the need to install the Android SDK, which is not required to perform this task.
As you noticed, the ICS SBF is self contained (it contains a script and fastboot binary) - but other SBFs are not.
You have to set up udev using appropriate USB IDs first, so that tools fastboot and adb can access the device. If you are smart, you won't have to use sudo.

Hi !
I've tried to flash a rom, so as usual, I went to recovery (razrbootstrap.apk), made my backup. But when I rebooted my phone, it stuck on boot Screen.
When I go back to recovery , I don't see restore option.
Please help, and sorry for my English.
---------------------------RE-EDIT- PROBLEM SOLVED :laugh: -----------------------------------------------
Hi ! I've solved the problem :
-Charged the phone manually
-Flashed a stock ROM

Hope this works for you
This will take you back to stock GB 2.3.5 (then after you can upgrade easily to ICS)
Ensure debugging is enabled - I assume you did this before trying to flash anything..?
From the Eternityproject
download Blur_Version.651.167.20.XT910.Retail.en.EU
and from XDA
AlternateFlashScript-WINDOWS.
unzip these files, then copy the alternate flash script files (just the files not the folder) and paste them in the rom folder.
connect your phone via usb and make sure it is in fastboot mode
to start flashing rom first open the eprj-mfastboot file - this will open a cmd window that will disappear
now open the Windows_Fla**** file and just be patient while this flashes stock GB 2.3.5
once done you may need to root the device again.
now you need to download RSDLite5.7 then install it
and ICS 4.0.4
Install
connect phone via usb and go into fastboot mode.
now open RSDLIte5.7 and wait for it to recognise your device -
once your device is recognised you can now browse through the Filename section and select the ICS 4.0.4
next select Decompress and Start Flashing
be patient and it will tell you when its done.
now that you got ICS up and running you will need to root your device again using
EPRJ_EasyRootICS_MultiOS_v1.1 from eternity project
now you can pretty much flash any ICS you want...

Good Luck

Thanks for your effort , I still have a problem, when I go to fastboot mode, it says the battery is low ! And I is not getting charged even plugged.
THIS GUIDE IS FOR XT910/GSM USERS
So guys in this thread There is nothing new that I am posting, But it is necessary to have all the official ICSs all together at one place so that other users can flash it from one place.
I am not taking any credits for this work neither I am saying that I have created any tool to help you guys, I am making a guide of how to unbrick and update to ICS so that some people who are bricked and want to reflash the ics in their devices, they can do it. Also This Thread Can be used to update from any other European Leak To Official ICS (of Europe).
So in this guide we are gonna learn how to flash the official ics of the different regions. Depending upon your region and system version flash the suitable ics.
Before we begin I would like to tell you that thanks to HSD, We now have two different methods of unbricking:-
1. Using the Official OTAs
2. Using the fastboot files
How to unbrick and flash ics using the official OTAs
Currently I have only three Official OTAs you are welcome to link to me other Other Official OTAs.
So before you begin I would like to tell you the pre requirements that you need.
1. Good Battery Life (atleast 80%)
2. Official OTA of your region
For European And british region Download This OTA.
For Serbain Region Download This OTA.
For Asian Regions Download This OTA
For Canadian Regions Download This OTA
3. Download EternityProjectFastboot
4. Boot.img file for you OTA
Download This boot.img for European/British OTA
Download This boot.img for Serbian region
Download This boot.img For Asain regions
Download This boot.img For Canadian Region
5. Gingerbread Fastboot files
Download These files For European OTA
Download These files For Serbian OTA
Download These files for Asian OTA
Download These Files for Canadian Region
Remember you will lose root after you update
The Procedure
1.Copy The OTA to your external sd card.
2.Extract the Eternity Project Fastboot. You will get three files. Copy them to your desktop.
3.Put the boot.img file on your desktop.
4.You need the system_signed file, to get that:
4.a. Create A folder on your desktop saying rom-1
4.b. Extract the gingerbread fastboot files which you downloaded (extract those files which are of your own region your region).
4.c. After Extraction, there will be a file called system_signed file in it copy that out and put it on your desktop.
5. After you put the system_signed file on your desktop, make sure you have 5 files [system_signed,boot.img,eternity project fastboot(Has three files)] on your desktop.
6.Now boot your device into AP Fastboot Mode.First switch of your device, then hold vol-,vol+ and power buttons all three together at the same time for 10 seconds.
Then you will enter in a screen,i.e, Boot mode selection menu where the third option would be AP Fastboot.Scroll down using vol- and then select using vol+.
After you enter in AP Fastboot mode connect your device to the PC.
7. Hit the Start-Button in Windows and search for 'cmd', command prompt window will open.
8. Now copy and paste the following codes one by one in the cmd of your windows
cd desktop
eprj-mfastboot flash boot boot_new.img (For European and Asian regions)
eprj-mfastboot flash boot boot_new_41.img (For Serbian Region)
eprj-mfastboot flash boot bootics.img (For Canadian Region)
eprj-mfastboot flash system system_signed (For All the Regions)
9. After All the files are flashed correctly, disconnect your device from the PC, then hit power button to switch it off.
Then again hold vol-,vol+ and power buttons all three together at the same time for 10 seconds and then enter into second option,i.e, recovery or stock recovery.
10. When you enter into recovery you will an android lying on his back, just hit Vol+ & Vol- together to see the options.
11. Scroll up and down using the vol- and vol+ buttons and select using the power button. Wipe your cache first (I recommend wiping data too).
12. When done, go to apply update from external storage and choose the ota (of your region). It will take some time to install.
13. When installed just simply reboot your device and you are all set and good to go.
For Any Assistance I have made a video for you guys :cyclops:
How to unbrick using fastboot files
Well many of us are already familiar with how to use the fastboot files, but there are some who dont know how to flash them.
For such users I would like to tell you that we have two tools which can flash the fastboot files in our device,
1. RSD Lite (Official Motorola Tool)
2.Flash it (Created By KHOLK) (Thanks Mate)
It entirely is up to you to decide which tool you want to use. I myself use flahsit.
If you want to use flash it You can see this video to learn to use it.
If you want to use RSD Lite see this guide By zeidof. Thanks buddy.
Fastboot files Of Official ICSs
1. Retail Brasil ICS 4.0.4
2. Claro Brasil ICS 4.0.4
3. Tim Brasil ICS 4.0.4
4.Oi Brasil ICS 4.0.4
5. Personal Argentina ICS 4.0.4
6.a. 672.180.41
6.b. 672.180.33
Both Are European
7. 672.180.291.XT910.AmericaMovil.en.01
8.Chinese ICS
Remember Asian and European users can flash each others roms, rest cant, kindly flash the rom of your own region, Then I am not responsible if anything happens to your phone. Also remember after updating to ICS you cant go back to gb.
If you have any other Official OTA OR Fastboot files You are Happy to Link Me to that :laugh:

Have a little bit confusion here if i am currently on eu rom and want to switch to asiaretail then which boot.img i have to use eu region or asiaretail region..??
Hey therazrguy, first of all thanks for the guide. I watched your youtube video in which you mentioned reflashing to gb. when i google reflashing razr from ics to gb, i only get threads which say that reflash to gb is not possible. do you have a guide how to reflash gb?
cheers
EDIT:
Sorry, my fault i found everything in your video.
EDIT:
when i apply update from external storage i get an assert failed: apply_patch_check("MTD:boot:8388608:0b5cad37e4eb892a6aa7d2a699c7c862a7fa9c47:8388608:5fe83ba87131db097e15663e44540e2921bc0ba5")

Hi Thanks OP for the guide and the video
I had a RAZR soft bricked on ICS

First, your RazR is recognized by RSD, right?
You get the preflash... error, which is happen when you try to downgrade to GB or using the wrong fastboot for your region.
So where's your RazR from?

About me
- I from Argentina
- I have XT910 GSM
- Sorry for my bad English
- I have backup CID
- I have not installed the BMM
I have a problem, and I think it's pretty big! I have a RAZR Arg LATAM Claro it was working with the official rom 4.0.4, I followed the steps to install the ROM Jellywiz:
-dd if = / dev/block/mmcblk1p18 of = / sdcard / cid.img (I have it to backup)
fastboot flash mbm-allow-mbmloader-flashing-mbm.bin
-reboot-bootloader fastboot
cid-fastboot erase
fastboot flash boot-boot_jb.img
but I made the mistake of not installing the BMM, so now I start the original rom, and I can not carry him another since I have the Custom Recovery hence I can not restore the CID. Someone can give me a hand? Thank you!
Greetings!
If you guys want to go back to ICS, then
1. Flash the fastboot files using rsd lite Google it!
2. Reboot using bp tools
3. Root your device
Remember while rooting when the tool reboots your device press the vol- and vol at the same time when the phone switches off to enter in boot menu mode and reboot using bp tools mode, other wise u will see a black screen everytime u reboot.
4. Once done restore your cid using terminal emulator.
code: dd if=/sdcard/cid.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk1p18

The "unbricking" guide which I took form TheRazrGuy's thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2078021
After "unbricking" your phone and back to ics just follow the rom installing guide carefully!
This is the way always great to solve the problem
p.s: Sometime the phone can't root is because you missing the correct driver and has a bad adb connecting (broken usb port)

I already installed the ROM address Chinese .. Thank you!
Greetings!
getting this to work on the mac took a few steps, and a few hacks, so I figured I'd lay out all the steps if there are any other brave souls out there who want to root this on the mac with OSX. Also most of the guides I found were a little outdated for 2014
some of these methods were figure out from the windows version of unlocking the amaze 4G from Binary100100 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426377
IMPORTANT: THIS WAS TESTED ON TMOBILE AMAZE 4G (are there other versions? would it make a difference? can someone more researched answer that question?)
Update Phone
IMPORTANT:
Before doing any of these steps, I ran system software update MULTIPLE times.
Choose Settings->About Phone->Software Updates (or HTC Software updates for earlier versions).
Repeat this until there are NO MORE software updates. This makes sure all your systems are up to date.
Unlock Bootloader
1- Go to the https://www.htcdev.com/ and unlock bootloader.
Follow instructions on the website, they are well documented, and easy (although it takes a few steps)
DURING THIS PROCESS YOU WILL DOWNLOAD THE MAC VERSION OF FASTBOOT (fastboot_mac)
2- create a directory in the top level of your hard drive (not the desktop, but right at '/') called android. put fastbook_mac in this directory.
Install ClockworkMod Recovery
ClockworkMod Recovery can be installed with a combination of a few steps, and a small hack.
we will use fastboot_mac to install clockworkmod recovery
3- Download the attached recovery-cwm-ruby-5.0.2.7.img (below)
make sure this is in the /android directory with fastboot_mac you created in step 2
4- Put phone in fastboot mode.
a. remove and replace battery
b. hold volume down, and then power. Hold together until bootloader starts up.
c. choose fastboot
5- install clockworkmod with fastboot.
open a terminal. then use these 3 commands. enter each one on a separate line (in order)
cd /android
./fastboot-mac flash recovery recovery-cwm-ruby-5.0.2.7.img
./fastboot-mac reboot
Install ClockworkMod Superuser
7- Install ClockworkMod SuperUser from the Google Store
just download and run the app.
8- on first install you will be asked how you would like to run superuser. The install recovery method didn't work for me, and I just chose to install it (3rd button on right).
Hope this helps someone else following in my footsteps.
I also admit I'm totally doing this so I can remember it again later if I need to!

Hi everybody!
On our 4pda.ru forum we are struggling with this phone in two ways- rootin it and unlocking in order to update manually to 2.0 and even 2.2; and other way- working android (already have beta rom which is exact copy of rom from another alcatel 6014x which runs android and similar to our Fire E 6015x).
if there are any enthusiasts about android, i can translate the guide for you and share the needed files and programs. Almost everything works except sim-card(when there is no one- phone asks to insert it, when there is one- phone says its not registered) but we are working on it
i came over a https://www.soeren-hentzschel.at/mo...ch-verteilt-firefox-os-2-0-und-firefox-hello/ that states that in Germany some people already received 2.0 update on their Fire E. Here arises my question- are here people who own updated Fire E? I mean update to 2.0.
If there are ones, would you be so kind to make a copy of your rom for our little development? I can provide you with guides and software on how to do it.
I can post guides for making this an android phone.
Hi my dear russian brother - greetings from Germany.
I do have an updated 6015x device to FFOS2.0 and I could dump the rom for U. Just gimme links to the needed info. My russian is not one of my strength, but I think I can manage it - I'm a bulgarian after all.
hej, i also have a 6015X (fire e) with firefox os 2.0 running
tell me how to make a rom which i can send to you
root

Look, please, do you have in System settings parameters of russian language on your FFOS 2.0.
HOWTO ROOT ALCATEL OT 6015X:
1. Download CWM recovery image made for 6014x.
https:// yadi.sk/d/BIdXndcbfR2Gm
2. Download Install-SuperSU.
download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
3. Turn your phone to bootloader mode anyway.
4. Run modrecovery:
Code:
fastboot boot my_recovery.img
5. In CWM menu follow "install zip" -> "install zip from sideload"
6. On pc:
Code:
adb sideload UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
7. reboot phone
I am sure lowlevel utilities from android's SuperSU are working fine on any FFOS (because FFOS based on Android now).

Alcatel's stock ROM for the Fire E has been published at sourceforge.net in the Alcatel project.

I wonder how do you use it though, can you build it on its own? The B2G by Mozilla still hasn't got an option for this device.

I tried your recovery image but it doesn't seem to work. There is no error but after booting the image, the device isn't visible in fastboot or adb. For that reason, I'm unable to sideload the Su zip update.

Flashing the recovery image works though, then sideloading the SU image works from clock work mode recovery.
Ok, here's some news. I built a boot image that enables adb as root. All you need is to flash it on the boot partition and reboot the phone. I made a few changes to the boot image.
default.prop
Code:
ro.secure = 0
ro.debuggable = 1
To flash:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot3.img
and replaced /sbin/adbd by an adbd built with "ALLOW_ADBD_ROOT". (I used the sources fetched using b2g repo).
Cool thing..wish I am able

As far as i know even Firefox OS 2.2 is not officially released yet.
There are only pre Versions.
Has anybody else troubles with FFOS 2.0 on the Alcatel Fire E?
The phone sometimes hangs completely while it was sleeping. (Can´t wake up or even call the phone)
Only if i press the start button for some seconds the phone starts again.
I hope someone builds a FFOS 2.2 Rom for the Fire E --> Copy and paste :good:
How can I switch this piece of **** called smartphone to bootloader mode?
Softbricked 6015x
Hey guys,
I got stuck with creating the boot.img and figured out that the backed up one doesn't work.
Does anybody have a working boot.img for the 6015x, NOT the 6014x?
I tried also getting the venezuelian one, but those TLDs are not reachable anymore - all gone.
The custom boot images from the russian 4pda forum are also not working.
I currently have only access to ADB, the TWRP recovery mod (temporarily) and fastboot, so I need a fastboot working image.
The Mobile Upgrade Q / TCL Updater / QDST distribution updater is Windows only - and crawling the binaries for URLs is a dead-end. The tool also requires
a fully booted OS, so it's pretty much the dumbest update tool out there and not practical to use. As I don't have Windows, the imgc files for the eMMC flashing tool are also a dead-end.
I really need only the boot.img file.

Yes, my device constantly reboots and fails to initialize the display (seems like an Xorg alike error to me) when trying to figure out what logcat shows.
Due to the constant reboots I can't debug it using adb, because of constantly lost connections. That's why I'm asking for an OEM boot.img file.
I started to collect the working stuff over at github.com/martensms/alcatel-6015x (cant post links -_-)

Did you try to boot with fastboot or did you flash it to the boot partition. I had no success booting with fastboot but flashing works. That said, you have to install a custom recovery image.
Also, I'm working on building FFOS from sources but as won't be home for a month, it's kind of slow.

Both. Didn't work. As I said, I have no functioning boot image available. All boot images, from everywhere including your one, don't work.
I don't know what's so hard to understand. NO custom boot.img works. Seriously. None. Simple as that. I tried 9 different boot.img out, I even tried extracting the eMMC boot.img which obviously failed.
Again, third time, I just need an OEM boot.img in order to get further debugging my device because I can't debug my device in 3 second disconnect intervals from ADB.
edit: I unbricked my device now and made backup images of all OEM partitions - github.com/martensms/alcatel-6015x

That's weird, my custom boot works on my own phone. 6015x, it's a russian phone. Firmware revision: 01005, hardware revision 01, platform version: 28. Firefox OS 1.3.0.0 .
I guess, if you had a newer version of Firefox, there could be something wrong with the boot image.
