XT925 bricked! Need help

[adolfovm]

Hey Guys,

So I got a very weird situation here, I have my XT925 from Telcel. Several months ago I unlocked the bootloader and started playing around with ROMs. All of them worked fine.

A couple of days ago I flashed the SFR ROM: SFR Vodafone France Version: 9.8.0Q-97-XT925_VQU-18 FULL.

The flash went fine I loaded the 4.1.1 JB and immediately got the OTA alert. Since I had already tested and succeded doing OTA with unlocked BL. I said fine let's do it. It downloaded the 50 MB or so. Restarted to the default recovery, since this was a brand new flash, no CWM yet. Started upgrading and at the middle of the whole thing disaster occured!

The phone restarted and it couldn't get pass the fastboot. I get "update gpt_main version failed" and "failed to hab check for gpt_backup: 0x35"

The weirdest thing of it all is that now the fastboot claims that my bootloader is locked! It went magically after trying to OTA from UNLOCKED to LOCKED!

So this is what's really killing me, I've tried flashing all different versions of Stock ROMs, all via RSD Lite 6.1.4. They all come back with error. I tried removing not only the getvar line but also the 2nd and 3rd line after it but nothing.

And one more thing I said if the device is suddenly locked why not trying to unlock it again, and the weird thing is that if I request the "get_unlock_data" via fastboot it will come back with "Could not get unlock data!"

So I'm completely lost! What can I do know????

Any help will be appreciated!

Una pregunta, a ti también te paso que se bloqueó el bootloader al intentar actualizar la version SFR? Eso es lo mas raro que me pasó a mi. Antes del problema habia desbloqueado el bootloader y probado varias ROMs hasta la CM 10.1 y siempre me dejó hacerlo bien porque al encender me aparecía UNLOCKED el bootloader.

Ah y le borraste algo especial al XML de la ultima retail de la ROM de Brasil? O solo la linea getvar? Y que paso con tu bootloader una vez que reviviste el telefono? Te volvio a aparecer como UNLOCKED o como LOCKED?

Gracias!!

Si si. Yo tmb había probado un montón y cuando instale de nuevo a 4.1.1 y actualice por ota lo bloqueo al boot.

Flashea por fastboot la última retail brasil y ami me lo soluciono de una. Para mi es porq no te deja hacer dowgrade a ninguna versión por el boot bloqueado y Tmp usar un software q no sea latam. Proba con cualquiera q tenga un kernel más nuevo. Lo mejor si es totalmente nuevo. Y si me aparece la palabra un lock y ya probé distintos rom de nuevo

Wow! Ya lo probé y listo, mi Razr HD ha revivido!!! :victory:

Gracias por el apoyo Juanpa!!!! Me había quedado tan impresionado con el locked en el bootloader que pensé estaba perdido! Tan fácil que era como descargar la versión mas reciente para que funcionara! No sabes cuantas versiones probé y nada... pero ahora que lo pienso todas las que probé eran más viejas que el OTA, seguramente se quedo a medias el upgrade y ya no iba a tomar ninguna excepto la más nueva!

De nuevo mil gracias! Eres un master!

SOLVED! Quick summary

Here's a quick summary for you non spanish readers!

So it seems that during the OTA the upgrade failed and due to this my bootloader appeared as LOCKED. So this meant that I had to treat my RAZR HD as locked, and flash a newer full version.

So I downloaded the latest Retail BR as suggested by juanpa123, thanks again man!

With the latest retail BR zip and RSD Lite 6.1.4 at hand I removed the "getvar" line from the XML, flashed and boom! Retail version flashed without issues! :victory:

Also once restored I went back into fastboot and my bootloader is again showing up as UNLOCKED. I already reflashed CWM through fastboot just fine!

Same problem... no solution.

Hi there! I came to this post after facing the same issue you guys described. My phone is locked in fastboot screen, showing that the device is locked. I've downloaded the latest firmware from Brasil (Vivo) and tried to flash it using RSD 6.1.4, but it is showing the following error on the screen:

downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT

... aaaaand, I'm stuck at this point. Apparently I've downloaded the correct version of the firmware for my XT925, but it simply doesn't flash! Any ideas of what I could do?

I'd appreciate any kind of help.

Thanks in advance! :fingers-crossed:

Hey playmolego,

So I can see you have the same issue I had. The problem is you tried to OTA, so now your phone base version is the OTA one, not the latest Brasil vivo one. My advice to you is to download the latest one you can find from the LATAM region. Wether it's Mexico, Brazil or other and hope it's the same or newer as the OTA that failed.

By the way the Vivo you tried to flash failed because it's older than the OTA that failed, therefore it's considered a downgrade, which a locked bootloader will not allow.

So a newer or same version is a must.

Give the Retail Brasil a try:

Branding: Retail Brasil
Version: 9.8.2Q-50-XT925_VQLM-21 FULL

From the Jelly Bean Firmwares thread.

Hopefully you'll find one. Best of luck!

 

[playmolego]

A small improvement

Hey there! Thanks!

I noticed my lazy attempt while re-reading the topic... tee-hee. So I downloaded the correct version (4.1.2 - JB) for Brasil Vivo... and at this moment, I am desperately waiting for RSD to finish the flashing process, but it it stuck for more than one hour on 17/19 flash cdrom "cdrom_signed". The other phases didn't take this long, so I am getting a little bit concerned about what might happen... Any clues on why is it taking soooo long? :T What else could I do?

Thanks in advance!

That's a lot of time indeed!

You could leave it some more time to see if it finishes. I'm not sure what could happen if you force restart the phone. In the meantime I recommend you to download the latest Jelly Bean "Brazil Retail" the one I mentioned on my previous post. It's a bit newer than the Vivo one and it might flash better if the Vivo fails.

SOLVED!

So... I held my breath and unplugged the device after 2 hours stuck in the same stage. The phone rebooted and... ta-da! It was healthy again, running the OEM 4.1.2 JB from my carrier. :good:

Maybe it was luck... but at least I've got my Razr HD back (well, to sell it... actually... tee-hee).

Thanks for all the help!

Hi.
I have the same issue, let me tell you my history:

Motorola RAZR HD XT925 Telcel
it was bootloader locked, I unlocked from the Motorola website with the code that it was shown, so it is was bootloader unlocked.

I installed the lastest OEM JB from Brazil, it was working fine, it restarted and I had to configure it again, but suddenly there was an update message so I downloaded it, it rebooted and locked the bootloader again.
I cannot access to the Fastboot menu, normal mode, recovery, and all the menu that appears when the three botton reboot is done.

It says that Device is LOCKED, again, it was unlocked before I installed the brazilian firmware, after OTA update, it was locked again.
I have tried to unlock again the bootloader with the same tool, Motorola ha... 4.0 I do not remember the name exactly.
Batery OK

but the message appears
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
Failed to hab check for gpt_backup
failed to load gpt
CDI Read failure

Fastboot reason Invalid GPT


I have tried to install again the last firmware from Brazil, it was not successful
Also tried to install America Movil 4.1.2, does not work

I am not able to do anything right now.

Does anyone have any idea what should I do?

Thanks!

 

[adolfovm]

Hi, so yes your case is the same as ours. The only problem I can see is that you had already flashed the latest JB version available on the Pzyduck thread. The problem with this is that it's obvious that the OTA you downloaded and tried to flash is newer than the newest version on the Jelly Bean thread.

So this means that all the versions available on that thread are older than the OTA that failed, so you won't be able to flash them properly. Your only option is to flash the full version that corresponded to your OTA. Unfortunately I don't know were you can get this. Maybe you can try to contact "Pzyduck" from the JB Firmware threads. He could be of help with a newer version that could work for you.

Another chance is to flash one of the newer european versions, the ones that are V26 or V27 from the thread though I'm unsure if those will flash on a "locked" bootloader from LATAM.

If you have unlocked bootloader for nothing try an ota update.

It worked for my HD, same problem. Regards!



You Can Download it from sbf.droid- developers org google it, XDA dont letme paste the link

 

[Pupalei]

I have the same problem, United States (Verizon), developer edition (xt926). There was an OTA about 4 days ago (11-5-2012) that has bricked my device. I'm looking for this new firmware, but it seems to be too new.

I can try going to Verizon, since they'd have access to the firmware, but what a nightmare.

 

[MexiDroid]

it works for me flashing the CLARO PR firmware

 

[ricpf]

Flashed KK OTA now bricked

Can't seem to find any .sbf newer or equal the 4.4.2 OTA that bricked my device.

Any hints?

I have the original OTA file for my region (Brazil) but I can't flash it with RSD lite. Anybody found rsd lite flashable for 4.4.2?

Thanks
