I need to restore apps i deleted..... but i will re-root once i get back to stock and before the new OTA

 

[Boriquaman]

RSD uncrompress gave me a unzip error.. downloading file again....

i'll be back in a few .. (crossing fingers )

 

[Boriquaman]

ok, i dL the file.. thats good.. i click start and it RSD tells me fastboot fail to load.

Help!?

is there a setting I'm missing. I followed it to the T..

I can only get RSD light to connect to my Razr when i fully boot up.. not in AP Fastboot. I restarted, turned the phone off and on.. unplugged USb , reinstalled Moto USB drivers.. etc..

Dunno what to do..

It only sees it when I connect the Razr when it's turned on fully.. Anyone have this issue? workaround?

Off the top of my head the first thing is the battery. Ship you have plenty of juice? If the battery is not at least 50 or 60% (I recommend full charge to be safe), it will not communicate with rsd in fast boot mode because the phone recognizes that you do not have enough battery.

I noticed that nobody had mentioned this yet but the ota is 6.12.173 .

174 is a follow up that had been leaked but will not be released publicly until the end of February or early March.

Also, madden, golf, blockbuster can be removed and do not need to be on your phone. If you only removed those files, you can still update and do not need to fastboot back to 744.

i'm using Windows 7 ( 64 bit ) if that helps ..

Hmmmmm, sounds like a driver issue. In Device Manager do you see this:

View attachment 47066

Also, make sure your phone USB mode is set to "Charge Only". I'm willing to bet you had it set to Mass Storage.

Why all the problems?

Did you attempt to just follow these steps,

which didn't use RSD etc and has worked flawlessly??

I did your process after I fastbooted and it worked without any problems. He had originally just wanted to reload the bloatware so there wouldnt be any problems. It seems if he hasnt fastbooted yet to just root, then follow your instructions.
