Well, I feel like there's no way out of this one.... I updated to JB on my XT912 about a few months ago and now I got a flash failure. I can't use RSD Lite or RazrUtility because they don't work with JB. What do I do???!!!! AHhhhhhhh!!
you have to use fastboot (not rsd) to flash ICS system.img, recovery.img, preinstall.img, then boot into recovery and flash jb update zip.

Thank you so much for the reply. So how do I install them without rsd?
Google for motorola-fastboot.
Extract ics images from zip with firmware and use commands:
fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img

Does it matter where I open the command prompt? And I have to be in AP Fastboot mode, correct? Thanks.
extract motorola-fastboot and ICS images into same directory. run commands from there.
yes, should be in ap fastboot.

okay thanks a lot!! If you can send me a link of the zip that contains the images that would be great. Thanks again.
The process did not work. My phone still has a flash failure. Shouldn't I use the JB Images instead of the ICS Images? What do you think I should do? Thanks.
there are no jb images yet. only ICS images and jb update zip.
did you run fastboot commands? did it flashed images? or you have low batt error?
after success flash you should be able to boot into recovery and flash jb update

I did have low battery error but luckily I have a factory cable already. I fixed my phone using mattlgroff's amazing xt912JBUnbrick utility. Thanks anyway

R u trying to flash via fastboot?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
yes. i've tried flashing using fastboot and moto-fastboot but all results the same
I take it you DID rename it recovery.img, and you placed the file in the same directory as fastboot?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
Yup. I really did. But still the results are the same

Hello all I have looked everywhere on a way to manually patch the boot.img. I have the patch file just can't figure out how to apply it. What should I try? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Go on the recorvery --> Backup and restore --> Advanced restore --> go on the folder where is boot.img --> boot only

If you have the boot.img file, you should be able to flash it by booting into fastboot and using
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
Do not flash a different file this way though!

I have the boot.img file but I am trying to flash a boot.img.p (update patch) to the current boot.img.
Sent from my VS910 4G using XDA Premium App
For more info, I have tried flashing using the apply_patch code in cwm, and I can't figure out how to open the .p file to try to make changes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Anyone? Don't mean to be a bother. Sorry

i guess you need to edit the original boot.img and compile the patches you made in that and repack it then flash.
Hey so i'm trying a couple rom's out and they all say to update the boot.img and every time i try do do this from the fastboot menu it says that it is out of date. i think the problem is that i have the ota update on my phone but i'm not really sure how to make it so that i can flash the boot.img from fastboot menu. any suggestions?
Check out Scotts CleanFLASH tool. Does it for you and you don't have to worry about mainvers and all that crap.

it isn't a problem if i install the boot.img after i flash the rom and i am running the rom because that is pretty much the only way i can use the cleanflash tool and the install the boot.img
Another option is to copy the boot.img file out of the PHzip file and flash it in fastboot (on your pc, not in the phone's menu). You won't have to worry about mainver issues that way either.
fastboot flash boot boot.img

Sorry if this is a "noob" question. Can you flash a custom kernel on rooted stock s on or do you need s off? I'm looking to flash a kernel for better battery life on stock rom with amon ra recovery. Answer appreciated.

Yes! You won't be able to flash it in recovery. But you can take the boot.img out of the zip and flash it in fastboot.
Noob again. Fastboot is via USB command prompt on pc? And just flash the boot img there? I'm not the greatest using that. But I can follow directions and read just fine. (Lots of people can't)

Yes, this is via command prompt on your pc:
Extract the boot.img to your adb folder then execute this command:
cd c:\(adb folder name)
then: adb reboot-bootloader
then: fastboot devices (this should return your phone's s/n to make sure you're connected)
then: fastboot flash boot boot.img
then: fastboot reboot

are you using the correct sbf file for your carrier? are you using the sbf file that matches the stock version you had prior to unlocking the bootloader?

i just copied and pasted your last post and ran a search on it. here's a solution
Solved !
1. Copy Radio image (baseband) to the folder where located fastboot. 2. Power on phone and select fastboot 3. execute: fastboot flash radio bp.img, Where bp.img baseband image files 4. execute: fastboot reboot 5. Phone automatically boot on the android recovery mode 6. Wipe userdata/cache 7. Reload in RSD mode 8. on the RSD lite browse appropriate .sbf file and puch Start
Thats all.
This makes sense, since there was a radio update since the sbf files have been out
