RSD Lite Tool For Mac and Linux
View attachment 3812978
This tool is designed to flash stock Motorola firmware just like you can with Motorola's program RSD Lite but on Mac and Linux machines.
What it does is looks at the XML files that come with Motorola firmware like the servicefile.xml and the flashfile.xml then coverts them all to fastboot commands it also checks the MD5 of all the firmware files just like rsd lite.
If you want to learn more and see some examples of how this is all done check HERE

Thanks for this very useful tool. Just used it on archlinux to flash back to stock so I could get nougat ota on my xt1622. Everything worked flawlessly.

Hi, I was considering picking up the amazon version of the g4 play, but decided to see if there was a way to flash the stock motorola version of android before doing so. I read through the provided script and saw that you chose to ship your own binaries instead of using the versions of adb and fastboot already installed. Looking at the binaries themselves, I found that while my own adb is 164K and fastboot is 116K, your versions are 1292K (!!) and 296K respectively. I am, I think understandably, wary of running large uninspected binaries on my system. My question is, if I copy my own versions of these programs into the RSD-Lite-Mac-Linux/files/ directory (or use sym-links), is this likely to cause issues with the flashing process?
Also, is there a reason you direct people to download everything from your site instead of linking to upstream, even for programs like notepad++ and even when your versions are (very) outdated?
Should this work on Motorola Photon Q (xt897), which normally works with (windows) version 6.15? I tried that with wine, but it doesn't see my phone...

Ive read for about 3 days and tried everything. Can someone please make a layman's guide on how to get ubuntu on my atrix so that I could use it on my laptop dock.
I am unlocked, rooted with stock rom but willing to change to any rom.
Are you getting the stock webtop when you connect to your lapdock? You should see a desktop, phone window in the upper left, browser window, and and the AWN dock at the bottom.
All that without any modification.

yes I get the stock webtop, but i want to try out ubuntu because the stock one is too boring
A quick search will find you quite a few methods of modifying either webtop, or maybe even installing debian in a chroot environment.
Start by reading the NOOB guide to modifying webtop at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397583
Webtop is still being understood by many of us, especially how far we can push it before it breaks. I've just downloaded the source and am trying to generate a clean webtop image from it, and down the road seeing if I can create new and updated packages in a repository.
Hey hopeing yous can help me out I am looking for a guide on how to make my own rims I am trying to make a rom that will be native ubuntu with ATRIX 4G drivers (for data and sms)

This isn't a webtop version, just straight Ubuntu on your phone using Ubuntu image, terminal and androidvnc

Do you mean natively or at all? Cause you can run through VNC server for sure.

Through VNC, you will get blank screen with mouse pointer. I've tried on 5 different roms.
Same with me... frustrating
you can try with kernel from CM7 or CM9
I'm on cm7 weekly6 and tried installing the img and using vnc but I think I'm missing something.I want to use the full ubuntu img so when I connect my lapdock I can use ubuntu instead of webtop.........can any point me to the thread u used to get it working on the atrix

So I made the base of my toolkit. Just waiting on a recovery to finish it. Now I want some ideas to add/implement/make it better.
Many people know that I make toolkits for basically every new HTC phone. Here is the sample for the One X+ at the moment.

Things I will NOT add.
- Stock/Custom Kernels
- Remove Root
- Probably more that I forgot
Many people flashed kernels and had no idea on how to use it and soft-bricked their phones.
Root can be removed with the SuperSU app from my toolkit.
So give reasonable recommendations and I will see what I can do!
Hey hasoon,
under "kernel" maybe "fastboot erase cache" as it comes hand after flashing boot.img (or directly in flash command for boot.img, if it's not already there)
and eventually "adb logcat -d >log.txt" under "command". Just for the lazy among us .

Would be happy to help but I don't know how flashing on the one x+ looks like as I don't have one(for the moment). But when I'll have passed the two weeks of stock rom limits testing and will flash another rom, then I'll see if they are improvements to do .

flashing is the same with all phones. download a ROM, transfer to your phone, go into recovery and flash. Rooting is the same for pretty much all modern HTC phones.

I've used your toolkit, and I have to say it is pretty awesome work. However, as a first time user, I was rather confused with the UI, since it looked like there was no real 'order' labelled on each section, they aren't labelled like "Step 1, 2.. etc". Otherwise, the tool works great.
Might be more a project rather than a option but Rom Downloader? or adb sideload, handy when you format your sd

ROM downloader is another story. I don't have a centralized database with all the ROMs. I'm adding ADB Sideload as we speak!
I'm redoing my scripts to make this even better! It isn't easy and I probably won't have it done tonight. My goal is to have it done by tonight! However, I never had these features before, so I'm learning how to implement them without errors!
Here's a sample of the new addition!
Make some requests. I'll see what I can do!
Features will vary from device to device. The Amaze does not need an ADB Sideload feature. I'm using my Amaze source to mess with the new add ons.
This will not be done tonight. It's taking a lot of time to write this and it's giving me some errors.
Hello friends of XDA, i'm here to ask you help once again! This time the problem is about a mysteriuos p760 aka LG Optimus L9. The problems in which i came across is the unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom recovery.
I tried so many ways that i'm really out of resources and ideas... Here few screenshots of the phone informations from setting app:

I am using Windows 8.1U3 on an Alienware 17.
I'll try to explain as fast and clearly i can:
First i read about this thread and it simply didn't worked (wow totally unexpected thanks to my fortune (Y)).
Then i thought i could easily flash some KDZ with unlocked bootloader and a sparky CWM built in, so i've google a little around and i found this and I then tried to flash the
with this guide but here the fun begun! No matter how i installed drivers, rebooted the system, tried in recovery mode or S/W Mode, the software did not see any phone at all; on the contrary the device manager sees it clearly and install correctly the drivers.
After posting the errors i found an answer a month later in the same thread.
This guys advices to use this tool instead, but as you can guess from me writing here, it did not work.
Then googling again i found this guide where you can install a CWM without even unlocking the bootloader! So, hey, i just need the root!
So let's go finding some way to root this F device (may LG go bankrupt now)! Again i googled "root p760/l9/optimus/plslgdie" and i found few ways none of them working. The Saurik one tells me that there is no bug available to exploit, the Chinese all-in-one rooter seems not having any green button and other script based on adb simply do not find the phone!
Of course i've tried a lot of cables and computers, all of them not working (still i need to try another OS....) and i'm going crazy. Only another device drove me crazy like that (the e610 aka L5 - wow this too was totally unexpcted!) but i finally found a ways to solve.
Please help me to delete every single line of code LG compiled in this device, please!
Up! Halp pls!

It's hard to say. I remember some people told me that windows 8 have problems with l9 driver. I don't want to say that you can reinstall drivers, because I'm sure you did it a few times. You can always install windows 7 but it's derp idea (of course if you want, you can do it). Did you try to run official LG recovery program and try to install from it?

Never tried from the official software, but tomorrow i will try both XP SP3 and 7! I fund an old rusty laptop with 2GB ram and a Pentium D! I'll format it until drivers will work :silly:

Well this is interesting. I've got the white one if you need a tester. Mines already updated though if it matters.
I am also the owner of a white VS990, and would be more than happy to lend my phone to the beta testing cause. I am on VS99011B 5.1.1

that is what people pledged for root! and you did that! good job! that can be yours, not bad for some time spent doing what you love to do
Amazing! Success from this user!
Thank you so much!
Many thanks for this successful root of the VS990.
There could have been no better way to log in to XDA after what was the longest hiatus I've taken from checking in on root than to have immediately seen the "paying and praying" for root thread reopened and some 11+ pages of discourse including the unexpected announcement ( very humbly also) that root was achieved.
I almost shat, coming from a long year tied to the Verizon Note 4 which was a great phone except being tied to Verizon keeping it mostly locked up and with temp root not fully doing it for me making it frustrating. I moved on to the V10 thinking foolishly that root would be a lock being that I had seen many LG models rooted ( yes poor ASSumption I know this). Then when finding out that I was wrong, though not surprised, I was seriously disappointed and discouraged with the possible rooting of this phone.
Today however I am pleasantly surprised, very grateful, more than impressed and happy to follow through on my pledge for root.
PayPal money on its way to you tungkick. Thank you for sharing your hard work.

The videos in the sticky are incorrect or defunct. Many of the required files that these videos link to are broken links and the video near the top telling how to root a verizon s4 is false. The files this guy links to are blocked by Google Drive because they are "infected" according to Google Drive
I am not sure why XDA Developers are stickying videos with links to infected files. But there seems to be no other videos on rooting Galaxy s4 and I do not want to use KingRoot because it is potentially spyware.
I prefer something using TWRP and Odin.
So what is the real way of rooting an s4?
I am preparing to be passed an s4 myself... I've so far found some instructions, but will not try anything until I hold the device, of course... https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/jfltevzw/install
I hope I don't have to jump through too many hoops...
After a small amount of searching, it seems that if the phone ever took an ota upgrade, it will be impossible to bypass the locked boot loader... I've got my fingers crossed... But not too hopeful.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=63848199
Use the "old method" if you don't want to use Kingroot. The application only had a 5 day trial, so just keep that in mind.

You're right (it's been awhile since I had this device). Just saying the probability of finding one that has not been updated is next to nothing.
Turns out the phone is tmobile... And I don't seem to be acquiring it.
I have a way!
I just rooted my Verizon s4 with kingoroot not kingroot and then switched the kingoroot superuser app out with SuperSu and uninstalled all the kingoroot app stuff. I posted a step by step guide of how I did it on this forum. You can click on my name and click on my posts and it should show up I will try to paste a link here.
