it all started with a bootanimation, need help now

[Borrego97]

Ok heres is what happen yesterday, I successfully root my HD XT925 using Dan's motochopper (Thanks Dan!!) no problem at all then I found a bootanimation thread I pick the bootanimation_dna.zip and I went to system/media and rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimationOLD.zip, copy the DNA file and rename it to bootanimation.zip, everything OK so far... then I restart my XT925 and it starts doing the DNA bootanimation BUT almost to finish it got stuck!! and since then I was not able to use the phone, I try to recovery, wipe data etc. etc. and nothing it starts booting, show motorola logo then the animation starts and it gets stuck...

so after several hours of unsuccessful tries to get it work and looking into several places, I found the stock firmware (JB 4.1.2 Telcel -MX) I downloaded to flash it and see if that works... bad idea!!
I tried flash the firmware with fastboot and using RSD lite (v6.1.5) with the same results:

fastboot reason: boot menu selected
usb conected
downgrade security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for gpt

now the cell is stuck on fastboot mode, it says: Fastboot Reason: Flash Failure

So I'm overwhelm and I don't know what to do...

a couple of things, I try using the firmware directly as I downloaded and the RSD gave me this error:
"Flailed flashing process. Unknonw fastboot command. (getvar)"

then I read somewhere here at XDA that I should remove a line from the xml fle... <step operation="getvar" var="max-download-size" />

try again and I got this:
"Failed flashing process. 2/22 flash partition "partition_signed" -> Phone returned FAIL.

and the cell shows:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT

Any idea what I'm doing wrong???

Thakns guys!!

Since you have an XT925, if you don't mind unlocking your bootloader (through motorola no need for any hacks), you can then flash anything through RSD and it won't fail because of version errors or anything

I personnaly used a self made script to flash stock roms, RSD Lite is always bugging me for instructions like this one.
Here is an example :

@echo off
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1_signed
fastboot flash sbl2 sbl2_signed
fastboot flash sbl3 sbl3_signed
fastboot flash rpm rpm_signed
fastboot flash tz tz_signed
fastboot flash aboot aboot_signed
fastboot reboot-bootloader
echo. When the screen comes back on, press any key to continue!
pause
fastboot flash partition partition_signed
fastboot flash sbl1 sbl1_signed
fastboot flash sbl2 sbl2_signed
fastboot flash sbl3 sbl3_signed
fastboot flash rpm rpm_signed
fastboot flash tz tz_signed
fastboot flash aboot aboot_signed
fastboot flash boot boot_signed
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash system system_signed
fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed
fastboot flash modem modem_signed
fastboot flash devtree devtree_signed
fastboot flash logo logo
fastboot  flash  cdrom cdrom_signed
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
fastboot  flash  fsg fsg_signed
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase tombstones
echo. Press a key to reboot the phone
pause
fastboot reboot

All you have to do, is replace the "xxxx_signed" with the filenames you have in your rom.
And save this in a textfile called "xxxx.bat".
Then (if the fastboot.exe files are in the same folder) execute the script and it will flash your XT925.
I personnaly used that script with the stock rom Retail/France and it worked perfectly.

Tell me if you need more details.

rename the original bootanimation.zip to bootanimationOLD.zip,

here's your problem, if you see tutorials in the themes and apps section, it tell you to rename your old one .bak as in backup
and then paste new bootanimation...try that out!
