Well, this is embarrassing...

Current Status:
After a factory wipe and reinstalling (phone was OK after that) and an OTA, i managed to nearly brick my razr.
Currently every time i start it lands in fastboot (according to RSD Lite mode S) with the message fastboot reason: flash failed

after 'fastboot reboot-bootloader' i can operate the menus but only changing the console type and power off work, everything else results in a freeze.

Reflashing CFC_signed_customer_8.7.1I-110_IFW-DE-32_O2DE.xml.zip or 31 is not possible, since the OTA update apparently changed boot[1], gpt[2], and few other things to version "8.7.1I-110_IFW-DE-39" (the only thing i can flash from those are the recovery partitions and from the new one the gpt.bin)
Custom fastboot also does not work, since i'm not eligible according to Motorola ( tis was my first thought to check the custom boots & finally unlock the bl *g*)

I already ordered the factory adapter (hey, you never know, when you're gonna need one) & My Battery still has ~3.9v left, so i think a few tries should not hurt that much : >

TL;DR, Here's my question:
1) is it possible to patch the images provided in CFC_signed_customer_8.7.1I-110_IFW-DE-32_O2DE.xml.zip with the binary patches from Blur_Version.81.5.32002.XT890.O2.en.DE (updates to: 8.7.1I-110_IFW-DE-39_O2DE) and then maybe re-flash them to get my razr back from the near death zone?
2) should i hope and pray that Motorola announces JB upgrade and provides us with the full system images within the next few days?
3) can anyone find a full system image / full update with the version: 8.7.1I-110_IFW-DE-39_O2DE ?

Cheerio,

The Problem is, without unlocking your Bootloader, you can't downgrade the Boot. img.

I would suggest you to grap the 39002 O2 Homemade Fastboot from Mattlgroff and flash only the Boot. img out of it. If you're an lucky guy, you're able to boot after that.
An Guy from my Home Forum tried the downgrade from 40002 today with an locked boot loader. RSD stopped @ point 1 GPT. His solution to boot his phone again was to flash the gpt.bin out of the 40002 OTA .zip.

So your only chance to get your phone back is to find flashable Images from the 39002 or 40002 because of the secure Level.

The easiest way is to unlock the device, I can downgrade to any FW. Or you'll have to wait for an updated Fastboot File to flash with RSD.

Hokay, apparently i had a typo yesterday when i tried to unlock the bootloader

But, now after trying the custom fastboot, i still land in fastboot with reason: Sticky bit fastboot
and all other menus still cause a freeze : /

If you're now unlocked, get an EU FW, regardless what Version. Open the XML with Notepad + or any similar Programm and delete ONLY the complete Line that contains MOTOBOOT. Save the XML and start RSD 6.1.4.
After that you should be good to go.

Yes sir. Iwas on 40002 and with the rsd i was trying to go back to stock 30006,but on step 3 it says fail. Then i try to fastboot 40002 but it tqkes me again to fastboot and its freezes when i try to open a command like normal boot or recovery. I tried to eras the lineinside of motoboot where it says motoboot like the guy you just helped. But in my case still gets stuck on step 3in the rsd. So could you send me images of how erase the line of motoboot on text editor?? Im boot unlocked.

You're trying to update regular over the Phone or the manual over the leaked Update.zip? If you're trying it over the leaked zip, than beware. There's one if you're coming from 31006 and one from 32002.

Sent from my XT890

I go into software update, then i download the file, its like 50mb. Then it goes into rwcovery but the android dies and says aborted. So then i tried in recovery mode to flash zip blur ota 310006 but it happen the same. So i decided to stay in mis rom the 31006 from sept. But i was wondering if now i could flash in fastboot another rom like 40002? I saw u guy have the ota update for that rom.
