Motorola Firmware Restore Plus UnbrickIn this tutorial i will be covering restoring and unbricking your motorola device by flashing the stock fimware. We will be using RSD lite (Motorola Program) along with using fastboot and a batch file. This tutorial will be for windows user only since i dont have a mac. First lets cover the older Motorola droid devices that use RSD liteWARNING Restoring your Motorola firmware will factory reset your device and you will loose all data on the device and have to set it back up like a new phone. RSD Lite Firmware flash Requirements1. Motorola device2.
I’ve tried a lot of data recovery tools in the past months and I’m sure FonePaw is one of the best. With this reliable software, you can easily recover lost or deleted text messages, photos, videos, audios, contacts, call logs, and documents from any Android phone, tablet, or SD card.
USB cable for device3. Download the and install them your PC4. Download and install it on your PC5. Download your devices latest firmware. (NOTE) The best way to find out what device and firmware you need is to go into phone settings then about phone. Look at System Version plus build number. Between these you should be able to figure out the firmware you will need.
Another good thing to find out is the device code name. Normally a quick Google search can accomplish this task.
If you dont know this info and your device is bricked then start Googling it. You can get your motorola firmware from or Flashing firmware(NOTE) It is highly recommended that your device is fully charged before starting this firmware flash. Older devices have small batteries and can die during the restore which would be bad. The only way to fix a dead bricked motorola android device is with this that can send power to the device even with a dead battery. This cable comes in really handy at times and can be picked up from amazon if needed.1. Place your phone into AP Fastboot Mode.
Turn off the device then press and hold both volume up and down then hold power, now wait 5 seconds and release then buttons. Nfsu 2 camera model. You should now see a screen like this one.2.
Now connect the USB cable to the device and let the motorola drivers you downloaded and installed on the PC, install for the device. This may take up to 5 minutes.3. Open the RSD lite program and make sure it sees your device like in the picture below4. Click on the 3 dots where it says file name and select your firmware you downloaded. (NOTE) if the firmware is in a zip then just select it.
If you extracted the firmware already, then select the XML file5. Click start button on RSD lite and sit back and wait for the device to finish the restore. Once the device has finished it will reboot and you will see the setup screen.
Now you have unbricked and restored your stock firmware to your Motorola device.(NOTE) Do not bump or unplug the device while flashing the firmware. This could cause a hard brick and your device will be dead. Also, if the device gets stuck in a bootloop on reboot, just boot the device into stock android recovery, then wipe data factory reset the device. This will fix the bootloop. Below is a video on this process. Fastboot Firmware Flash Requirements1.

Extract the firmware and fastboot / adb files you downloaded to the same folder on your desktop like the picture below.4. Click on the file in the folder ending in.bat This is a batch file that will open and flash all the firmware in this folder. Once the firmware is flashed and if you dont have any errors, then in fastboot mode on the device, select normal power up and the device will power up and be fully restored.(NOTE) Using a batch file and fastboot to restore your device is the preferred method over RSD lite. RSD lite sometimes hangs on some steps in the XML and can be a real pain.
Here is a video of me using a batch file to restore one of my Motorola Android devices. Hello I’m tring to restore my moto e4 and every video I watch your using a moto g. I’m assuming the firmwares and the actions and steps you take are the same between the 2 phones but I’m getting no where with my restore. I’ve been tring to research for monthes now and decided to finally ask?s. When I try to use RSD lite an error accures on 3/21 gpt.bin. I’m not very computer literate so I’m not sure whats going on. I’m using Windows 7 the build is PERRY NPQ26.69-41-4-1 baseband M891718.08.044.09.01R PERRYNACUST version 7.1.1 its a factory unlocked bootloader.I can get to the bootloader screen and to android recovery on the bootloader screen it says no baseband.
I’m trying to unbrick a Motorola Droid RAZR HD (XT926). On startup it just sits at the red “Motorola DUAL CORE Technology” logo. Before it bricked I had Dev Options enabled.
I’ve downloaded and installed Motorola Device Manager, RSD Lite, and a image from androidfilehost. Device Manager shows “Mot Single ADB Interface” under “ADB Interface”. Device settings show “Fastboot VANQUISH S”. When I boot the device to AP Fastboot it says USB Connected, but “adb devices” finds zero devices and RSD Lite doesn’t seem to detect it either. Any advice or help identifying the state of this device?.
I recently attended IWCE, a conference focused on e ducating end-users and operators on the trends and evolving technologies taking place with Land Mobile Radio (LMR) systems. My mission at the show was to increase cybersecurity awareness. If anything, serving as a mission-critical, communication component for government and public safety agencies, they have a propensity of gaining the attention of hackers.My goal was to raise awareness about the importance of proactive cybersecurity measures for LMR systems with a live hacking demonstration.
From my demos, here were the common insights I gleaned from the LMR end-users and system operators I met:Cybersecurity education is still needed. Only a small subset of those I spoke to had a sound understanding of their LMR system’s level of risk. Others were aware that their systems are now vulnerable to cyber threats. However, they were not knowledgeable of how their system can be compromised; their risk posture; or how to protect their systems from and respond to cyber intrusions.Hackers aren’t that sophisticated. Most of the individuals I spoke to weren’t aware that you don’t have to be a brilliant hacker to create something that can comprise a system. Without a great deal of knowledge, hackers can create an exploit that can work on a LMR system.
Everything needed is available through a few clicks of the button. A conference attendee that person I spoke to said, “I had no idea it was that simple!”Chaos and disruption is the end goal. During my demo, I reviewed various examples of the actions hackers can take once in their systems. I explained how a hacker can upload code to overwrite operating software files to disrupt the network, launch web browser that redirect system users to a malicious website, and execute commands that can remotely shutdown and reboot a system server. Most system assaults are directed at disrupting communication at some level.Most successful attacks are based on known vulnerabilities. The “A Ha!!” moment came when I pointed out that – 75% according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
However, the good news is that these vulnerabilities have patches that can be applied to systems. Security patching is one of the first and important steps anyone can take to mitigate cybersecurity threats.From my conversations at the show, the LMR end-users and operators I spoke to are more aware that their systems are vulnerable to cyber intrusions. However, it’s important that everyone understands their system’s risk posture and how to proactively address cyber threats. There isn’t room for complacency when safeguarding a mission-critical, LMR system. While there are many strategies and options available, there is one action everyone should take to mitigate cyber threats—.
For our customers, we offer this service with rigor by pre-testing and validating all required patches to ensure they don’t cause any disruption when installed. If you don’t patch, you’re at greater risk to get hacked. Why let that happen? Learn more at.
