My mom's moto E just died yesterday. It was completely on stock rom and she has some important stuff in her internal sd card. So i was wondering what would happen if i just flash the same rom using fastboot over the one that is already there without the wiping commands?.
I used to do that on my moto G when something got screwed while uninstalling system apps that were needed for the phone to work. It restored everything that I unistalled but my data was still there.

So here is one for ya.
I can't access my SD Card at all with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25816870#post25816870 rom installed. I click to mount SD card and nothing happens. In recovery I can access the SD card backups etc
I find it strange. Although I do have to ask, I have been having this weird problem. I have Clean Rom 4.3 Installed (ICS) and I have been getting some random reset's and slow this or that. So I saw 4.5 was out - It literally reset everyime your open something and I mean anything Bam reset. However I installed the above rooted bleh bleh stock os (I do not have s-off so I used the PH img) I made sure I had no other boot images on there. Installed setup got everything ready. I have gotten 3 resets in 11 mins so far so now I backed up to Clean rom 4.3 and I have no idea what to do.
I also did the following:
Flashed back to STOCK o.s.
Then Downloaded the above linked rom, cleared data (everything) installed software patch and rom reset back up and same problem. I have been flasing rom's on this phone for a while now and this is the first time no matter what that I get these crashes and resets. Did I miss something?
You really should s-off that puppy. It is pretty easy, and will get you out of messes.

I assume you're always wiping data and cache.
Have to tried Fix Permissions? I don't know if this rom has it in it's settings, but using others I've corrected some weirdness by wiping the cache and then running fix permissions.
Were you seeing the same thing with the stock rom? Or just using clean rom? Might try a different rom for a bit to see if the issues follow you there.
S-OFF isn't going to help you with this. It's perfectly fine to flash your boot image outside of Aman-Ra. I do it all the time.
Are you wiping everything between flashes?
I recommend using this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1562176&highlight=clean
Flash it first and it wipes the needed partitions clean.
If you're still on the GB firmware, you need to flash the old firmware patch after the rom install also to get SD card access.
If none of the above helps and you're still on the GB firmware, set the phone back to stock using the GB RUU, otherwise you will have to s-off it so you can do the same.
Yep full wipes between flashes. I didn't keep the stock Rom for more than about 20 mins.
I didn't see a way with the debloated stock New leak to fix permissions. But with the 4.5 clean Rom I did that and it made no difference.

I have a motorola atrix. I was have been rooted and running different roms forever now. I recently jumped roms and this problem began. It started with apps that I downloaded disappearing after a reboot. After that I tried deleting stuff from the internal sd card and it would say it was deleted then come back after reboot. I tried formatting on windows and the same thing happens. Now I am unable to flash any new roms because it says they flash fine and then it boots the original rom. I tried using moto fastboot to erase every partition and reinstall original stock and same thing still boots up the other rom. I even tried using rsdlite if you are familiar and the same rom keeps booting up. I am stumped and i've searched everywhere.
Did you try unrooting it then rerooting it? or reflashing the system files from adb?
Don't know much about the Atrix, but fixed the bootloader on my Xoom that way from fastboot..
Hello,
History:
Recently my Droid x2 was acting somewhat slow and randomly rebooting, so I decided to backup some data using titanium backup.
After which, I performed a factory data wipe thing from the android recovery menu.
This went well and I started to restore my old apps and data, afterwards I noticed the same things happening again. So I decided to do the factory data wipe again to fix this.
This led me to think that there was something wrong with one of the system apps, so I slowly went through apps and only installed what I thought I needed.
I ended up repeating this a few times, and at some point used titanium backup to remove some of the stock apps like slacker and youtube.
And now my phone wont get past the motorola logo, although sometimes it does and gets into a boot loop or just gets to the first time set up screen.
History summary:
Basically I backed up the data I wanted to keep, and did some stuff now my phone doesn't function right.
What I am after from any expert is whether or not I can't simply put an update onto my sd card and use the android recovery menu to fix my phone back to the normal stock rom.
If this kind of thing is possible could someone send me a link to the file.
I have tried to use Moonshadows guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1317707) for SBFing, no luck, can't get it to work.
Also, I am basing this question off of Moonshadow's other guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318083) for backup/restoring.
This is a:
Droid X2
Rooted
Running 2.3.5
Moto Updates only work to update, and phone must be complete stock, nothing removed.
to flash sbf phone needs to be in STARTING RSD PROTOCOL SUPPORT
Try ezSBF for dx2

just an update
Just in case anyone is curious, ezSBF worked.
I used it, then updated my phone to 2.3.5, and rooted it.
Thanks shadow.
Your welcome, glad it worked

I've flashed my phone a few times before, but the last time I've done so, Titanium Backup decided not to work, so I had a newly flashed ROM but no data to go with it. I backed up everything on my phone once (by means of copying&pasting all of the folders) on my computer, but putting them back on my phone didn't do anything.
Now I want to flash again, but I'm clueless as to what app I should be using to back up my phone, and which app would make it possible for me to have my data backed up. I know it sounds a bit vague, but basically, I'm looking to back up my phone so that when I clear everything and flash it, I'd like to restore my apps as well as the data along with it (like high scores in games). Does anyone have any idea what I should do? I currently backed up my current ROM (Android 4.3 and HTC Sense 5.0) with ROM Manager (v5.5.3.7), but I don't know if I can use that back up since I'm looking to flash Android 4.4.2 onto it.
Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: And I have one off-topic question... Should I flash gapps before or after flashing the ROM? I flashed gapps before and after last time and it worked fine, but I'm curious to know what the correct order is.
My friend was tinkering with his phone and screwed something up. He was set up running cm11 on romslot1 with safestrap. I don't know what he to screw everything up but right now I can't get it back to stock.
I used matt's utility which completes but Safestrap is still there after complete wipe and keeps not booting into stock. We have tried going into the recovery and deleting the romslot and manually deleting all safestrap data but it is like it keeps restoring itself upon reboot.
Safestrap settings flat out just don't stick.. I can boot into cm11 still which is it. If I install an app and reboot the app is gone like nothing ever happened.
I also tried wiping internal storage and it does not let me. How can I get safestrap off this SOB and return it to stock. I'm out of ideas..
turn your phone on, start safe strap and uninstall safe strap from the app and not from the app drawer/management when safe strap is uninstalled the boot to recovery should be greyed out then you reboot your phone normally it should restart on the stock rom
hope this helps
also when your friend screwed your phone up he may have lost the root explode so check phone to see if it still is rooted

No this isn't working. I can't boot into stock at all to uninstall safestrap. The phone's internal storage is stuck in read only mode which is probably why everytime I factory reset it safestrap stays behind. I also can't even update the cm11 rom. It just restores the same image everytime you boot so if you install and app and restart the app is gone.
you can try flashing back JB 4.1.2 to the stock rom through fast boot and by using RSD lite which is a motorola utility tool for flashing roms
do a little research in the xda forums to use RSD lite
once you have a working rom again and rooted you can then install safe strap and run it to install cm11 4.4.2 into rom slot 1
hope this helps
cheers eggster
Any help to flash back to stock with ubuntu
any way to use sbf_flash to get back to stock JB 4.1.2? I have flashed other phones with sbf but this one needs a xml file in rsd lite. Do I just sbf flash the phone like any other droid?

You should be able to.
I would try the updated Droid Razr Utility though (has updates to SS and the last phone update). Link to the forum is here. I had problems the last muck up I did on my phone and with the older version I kept having issues with SS and other stuff like Rom Slot 1 corrupting on a boot into SS.

My problem is that the internal storage is read only. I have not had luck with sbf or the droid razr utility.
Sounds like a rsd time.

RSD works to get the phone back to stock yes.. however it does not wipe the internal storage currently stuck as READ ONLY... so after I wipe with RSD and reboot it goes right back into romslot-1 on safestrap.. where nothing can be deleted and no changes can be saved..
Hi there, i have one problem with my xt912, when I install stock rom, with rsd lit or razr blade, boots normally, has a good signal, but cant send or receive sms and calls, or if I'll receive sms, its after half an hour or such, can u guys tell me what to do? I am gsm user, and i have tried several stock roms, but same result
that's very weird... everytime I need to use RSD, it wipes completely my phone, removing SU,SS and restoring my stock JB rom. But, have you selected Stock slot on SS to boot on it? and have you mount your /system folder?
