Hi,
I have an XT 910 and its system version is 672.180.41.XT910.Retail.en.EU and it's running ICS 4.0.4
I was given the option to update by motorola but i couldn't, it just keeps failing, I thought it's possibly because I had superSU when I rooted my phone so I clicked full unroot, and super SU disappeared but it still wouldn't update.
I would like to either try to get the update to work, or see if I can root my phone again and flash a custom JB rom like Liquid onto the phone, but sadly have changed to a macbook and not sure how to do these things on a mac!
Any light shed on me will be greatly appreciated...
Thank yoU!
Adrian

Emmm, it prompts me to download the file, then when it finishes downloading it prompts me to install, when i hit install, the phone reboots, then goes to the Motorola startup logo, then the android thing moving, then the bar under then android goes about 1/4 of the way and the phone boots back into what it was, when it finishes starting up it'll just say "software update failed!" something similar, no coding what so ever....so I'm at a bit of a loss!

Reflash the system version using RSD Lite. Then, try to update it. Make sure your backup root after the reflash otherwise you will stuck unrooted

Ermmmm, I ought to understand this but I'm not sure what it means. Where do I obtain RSD lite, and if I reflash it does that just restore the system to the factory original, or would I be better off trying to flash it to JB instead?
I'm personally not too fussed if I can just get the official update to work...
Thank you anyway, help's much appreciated, I'm just a bit too dumb!
Have done more searching around, and still haven't found a way to do it with a mac! Anyone got more light to shed on me pleaseee???

Google is your friend. The reflash does restore the system files, you need to update to jelly bean from ICS, because the fastboot files for jelly bean are not released yet.

I know, i have been Mac and Linux user. But you need Windows to do that. Most of the things or programs are for Windows.
Right so I've got as far as getting windows, and RSD lite... i've got rsdlite v6.0
But I'm not sure which rom to flash, there seem to be loads of roms on the market but i just can't tell which one's the official update one.
I've found this thread that seems to suggest something similar but it doesn't seem to be a rsd lite thing...
would anyone be able to point me in the direction of the correct fastboot files I need? pleasee?
Thank you

sbf should fix this, after flash is complete if it still bootloops your probably using a service sbf so will need to enter android recovery and manually clear data etc. to do this hold volume down while turning on device, then keep pressing it till it says android recovery, press volume up, then you have to tap the bottom right corner to show the options when the android logo appears

I have a razr maxx and I am (or was) on the latest ICS OTA. I rooted my phone trying to flash a rom. I tried flashing two different roms and it kept telling me "signature verification failed". So after a while of trying to flash and being unsuccessful I decided to try to RSD back to stock. Now that keeps telling me that it fails. Anything else I can try? please help me out. I'm willing to either flash a rom (or try to) or go back to stock, just want my phone working again.
Thanks in advance

Also make sure you are using version 5.6 or higher (not sure if they have updated higher yet). now click the 3 dots bsides filename bar, go to your desktop, go to the rar file on your desktop and choose decompress and flash. you should be goo to go and up and running again.

Do not extract the files to your desktop. Keep them in rar form. Once it is done flashing your phone should reboot and there you go

Everything the previous poster said is true as far as how to fix it. The underlying issue is that you were (more than likely) trying to flash a GB ROM on an ICS system. The "Signature verification error" comes up because when your phone went through the ICS OTA, it updated the bootloader to a newer version. When you flashed the GB ROM, it throws that error because the version numbers are different from the GB bootloader to the ICS bootloader.
Just a little background info. I'm also curious were you just not paying attention to the version numbers?

yes as he said. Make sure pay attention to the details of things. ALWAYS do research on something before you flash it onto your phone. And as far as being on ICS you can no longer do anything with GB anymore (including roms and anything else)
Try Battery Calibrate from Play Store =)

Yes I have searched, yes I have tried google and yes I am still stuck...
I *think* I have tried just about everything and I have read through about 10 "soft brick" or "stuck on samsung screen after rooting on stock ICS" (and most combinations of) but nothing is working. I'm sure it's probably an easy fix but I just can't seem to get anywhere. Here's what happened.....
I googled rooting galaxy not after ICS update and found this http://rootgalaxynote.com/galaxy-no...y-note-sgh-i717-icsgingerbreadeasiest-method/
It was all I could find about rooting after the ICS OTA update, so I did it. Everything seemed fine. I had CW but no superuser so I DL it from the market as well as my old Titanium pro from back when I rooted my HTC. I rebooted my phone to get it all settled in and decided to run Titanium and get this party started. I got an error message that busybox was not installed so.... I installed it but when I clicked the app on my phone it said it would not install because I didn't have root access.... This is where the confusion starts to set in.
So I restarted to see if I could get into CW but when I rebooted the soft brick started.... I was stuck at the "samsung" screen.
I IMMEDIATELY ran to XDA and began my search. I can still get to DL mode, Odin and CW so I know there is hope. I tried the files listed in the "All in one guide for noobs" and the "Galaxy Note Super Everything Thread (I717)".
There was a suggestion to use Kies but when I put in my serial # and model name i get the "galaxy note does not support initializing" message.
I'm not new to flashing/rooting, although things are a bit different, I have a basic understanding of the process but I ain't no Einstein either...
I also tried to flash the stock Telus ICS rom but I got an error message and my lil droid guy went belly up....
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I love my note and this is killing me...
I have to go to work so if I don't reply immediately its because I have no email access at work.... Especially without my Note....
The steps are correct in the link you gave.
Did Odin3 say success?
Did you get CWM installed?
Did you flash superuser?
Is there a superuser icon in your apps?
Ranger is on it....
I'm thinking we dont have CWM on the device....????
And no SU flash, from within the recovery that doesnt exist....g
He has cwm, he did not flash superuser, Looks like he assumed flashing cwm would automatically root him.
Since you can get into recovery... i would just go ahead and download a Rom zip, transfer to phone by mounting in cwm (mounts and storage if you didn't know) and flash that sumbitch
Oh yep...found that.......Thanks brother....g
That means do or redo steps 13 to 16 in the guide you posted.
agreed....g
im back...
Just got in, thanks for the replies.
Yes I have CWM and can access it. I have tried to flash the CM roms as well as the stock telus ICS rom but was denied at install. I got a "assert failed getprop (ro.build.device)" message and 2 other "ro." error messages when I install the cm nightly quincyatt rom.

Yup, thats the one I flashed, its working and I get a successful message when I flashed SU so I assume its there also. Any recommendations of a rom to try and flash? Still hanging at the samsung screen.....
I appreciate the help by the way, I know how frustrating it can be to try and help with tech situations from emails and messages (Hi Mom ).
Thanks has been pushed....
That assert error is in the script used by CWM to flash and it is saying 'wrong rom for your device'. So for sure you have the correct CWM and rom for your phone? Just checking because errors at this point make your phone useless.

Okay... so I flashed the stock ATT with odin. just at start screen now.... Don't think it is rooted so now.... How do I get back to telus and root right the first time?
Edit: so it appears the ATT rom was a GB ver so I am assuming that I was somehow reverted to GB instead of my stock ICS. Now to try and flash a stock Telus GB rom, update then try to root.... AGAIN! Thank gawd I don't have a $600 paperweight now!

It's easy to do as it is an 'official' update so you can use RSD- no Bootstrapper required.

I'm no expert, but i thought you didn't have an install from zip option unless you installed bootstrap or something similar so you had recovery options. Doing it by RSD means you can be completely stock (no addons) and you just use fastboot, as supplied by Moto. So it's a 'no hack' upgrade, all pukka Moto stuff.
I purchased a second hand XT910 installed AVG and it informed me my phone is rooted.
Now I know nothing about rooting, nor the benefits/drawbacks, however I'm being given the option to install the downloaded JB update but it keeps failing, I've worked out the reason is because it's rooted, how do I go about installing the update, or unrooting the phone so it will do it itself?
Appreciate any help provided.

There are some files called sbf... Google your version and download it. Then download the official drivers for your phone from Motorola and last thing you need is rsd lite what is also available on moto's website. You can also google for a tutorial there are many on YouTube...

when the install fails it will state what the error is if its a file it will give the md5 and sha-1 (basically a load of numbers and letters.
if you could put those and the file path someone maybe able to give you the file's you need to get the update to run.
what they mean by sbf files are these http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_spyder/list.php these you can flash to your phone with a program RSD lite which when done will put the phone to stock, meaning to its original state and without root. then you can set the phone up how you like and can update to jelly bean.
it all sounds really hard but its not really i did it myself not knowing a thing before.

Hi, it doesn't give any error code, the droid falls over, it restarts the phone, then just says software update failed.
