can i flash this over the locked, unrooted phone on latest ota, im having a little problem with boot to bootloader on every boot.
or can i find the lastest file to flash so it wont brick anything.
If you're on the latest firmware that ends in .15, you won't be able to flash that FW. You can't revert with a locked BL. There is a thread in here posted by @SamuriHL that has the latest FW.

hi
Hello i have rooted my XT890 phone and unlocked bootloader, i tried to update to latest version via phone updater but it fails during install , i would like to delete clockwork recovery in order to do this . i guess unrooting and reverting to stock firmware is necessary also ; my system version is 91.2.29001.xt890.retail.en.gb. i cannot find it online . please any advice .

Hello, I need your help please.... Am trying to flash a firmware on a bricked razr m but my AP Fastboot doesnt have 'OK to Program'Welcome to my first tutorial! Please make suggestions in this thread on how to improve it. I will try to be a comprehensive as possible but also as general as possible since flashing firmware to Motorola phones is a pretty consistent process.
Disclaimer:
Please note, like almost everything else on XDA-Developers.com doing this process without fully understanding it can possibly brick the phone (although if it probably already is) thus, I cannot be held liable for any damages caused by following this process.
In other words, the person performing the work performed in this post is fully responsible for their actions on this phone.
/Disclaimer
Before starting with the flashing a Motorola phone, please review the following information:
- In most cases firmware versions CANNOT be downgraded
- Firmware from other regions can sometimes be flashed, but not always, this is why it is always recommended to stick with the same firmware branch that is already on the phone
- The phone that will be flashed should be fully charged, the fastboot flashing process only allows for phones that are over 50 or 60% to be flashed.
If the phone that is trying to be flashed is under 50 or 60%, purchase a "factory adapter" - http://shop.teamblackhat.info/Factory-Adapters-motadapt.htm or make one - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1077414- Use a USB 2.0 port that is directly connected to the motherboard of the computer (preferably on the back of a desktop, or internal ports on a laptop)
Now, prepare the computer for the flashing process
- Download the latest Motorola USB & Charging Drivers from http://www.motorola.com/Support/CA-EN/Support-Home/USB-Drivers-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
- Download the latest available RSD Lite software (~6mb) - As of March 4th 2013, it is 6.1.4 and can be downloaded from here : http://d-h.st/KNN
- Ensure the computer can detect the phone in fastboot mode (I have seen a number of problems with different versions of Windows, if it doesn't work on one PC, try a different one). To perform the test, power off the phone completely and boot it into fastboot mode. Unfortunately since Motorola phones are all built uniquley, this tutorial cannot cover all of the different methods to boot a phone in fastboot, but the most common method is to hold the VOLUME UP button and VOLUME DOWN button while pressing POWER. A menu will most likely appear, use the VOLUME DOWN button and navigate to "AP Fastboot", now press the VOLUME UP button. The phone should say it is OK to Program like in the following screen
Next, connect the USB cable to the computer, it should detect and install a driver. Check in device manager for a "Mot Single ADB Interface" under ADB Interface. If it is not listed, try to force the drivers to look in the "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Motorola Shared\Mobile Drivers\Drivers" folder.
Once the driver is loaded, open up RSD Lite and the internal codename should be listed under one of the ports. In RAZR HD (GSM) it says Fastboot VANQUISH_U S.
- At this point, I would recommend to download the firmware to the computer that will be used for the flashing (once the phone is detectable in RSD Lite, that is a good indication the computer can detect the phone, navigate to http://motofirmware.center and locate the correct firmware and version that should be loaded on the phone. If the firmware is not listed there, please put a request into the firmware team (supply the default.prop and build.prop files). They are pretty good with locating firmware! The firmware files are generally large (ranging anywhere between 200mb and 1500mb) so now would be a good time to top-up that phone charge (if possible). If it isn't possible to charge the phone, don't worry, the phone will automatically turn off if it doesn't detect a flashing process after a few minutes.
Flashing Time!
Once the preparation has completed, flashing is very straightforward. Extract the downloaded firmware files to a folder on your hard disk, then use RSD Lite to load the XML file up. Power on the phone into fastboot mode again, and plug in the phone into an internal USB port on the computer, then press the start button. If everything is successful the phone should begin booting into the stock system. The flashing process usually takes 10-20 minutes depending on the size of the files and the power of the phone. If there are any failures, be sure to read the "Before getting started" section again, and hopefully someone on the forum can help recover the phone with you!

I posted the wrong link in the original tutorial, thanks for flagging it.
Check this site : http://sbf.droid-developers.org/
Good luck!1i´m trying to install the telcel firmware and also used 2 different computers with the lastest drivers and rds lite 6.1.4
I followed all the steps and doesn´t work for me I´ve got the next error
failed flashing process. unknown fastboot command getvar
Help me please
The firmware you downloaded has a .xml file in it. Remove the line with Getvar in it, and try to flash again.1
Can we have this put into the tutorial please.
Also, as for the OP in general, thanks for putting this here; its not so clear elsewhere on this section of the forum and everything that is useful to a Motorola noob is specifically for the XT926... even the blog posts linked to. I had a lot of anxiety over trying this in the past because things as fundamental as this, concerning Motorola and these phones in particular as well, are scattered and disorganised in various places on the internet. Its frustrating and makes one want to shy away from trying things out for fear of not being able to return to stock or bricking their device. I come from an SGS2 which had no fastboot to worry about, for example, and even though the RAZR HD forum had few participants when I first got mine, there was still a lot to be confused about and to shy away from.1download motorola fastboot under linux and flash the files from linux, its so much easier... theres a .bat file that shows you what files you have to flash in which order, etc...
