Downgrade to 902 - No app or data loss

Have not tried it yet. I will let you know what happens. Thank you again for the help.

You're quite welcome. I'd be curious if it works when you run it manually or if you get the same issue. Maybe the phone just needed another reboot. Some of the odd things we've seen with ICS on the bionic are quickly cured by a reboot so it's not impossible to imagine.

100% correct. It just rooted without a hitch after I ran it manually.
 
I also get the white window, that says it flashed everything, and i am now on 902....i also just re downloaded the FXZ from Sarge, but i do not have the line between ebr and grfs.img it is emstorage.img

I had to go to the zip FXZ file and copy that (emstorage.img) over to the directory manually.

Should be 23 files in that directory by my count.

Good Luck,

RMD
 
Is that line just a direction, can i take it from an older FXZ? Neither of the 902 FXZ's that i have , have that line in it

edit: I just took it from an older FXZ and I still get the white window, saying i am flashed back to 902

edit: I also noticed that even after re naming the RUNME file, to bat, it still shows as a text file in the new folder with 23 lines

edit: changed file to batch by saving in notepad with quotes before and after, just not sure about using the older emstorage.img file

Ok, I've updated the OP again and uploaded a new version of the script. There are some significant changes to take care of the troubleshooting issues we've found. First, the script now requires moto-fastboot.exe to be in the 902 FXZ directory. Not just in the path. And the script checks for it....if not found, it will error out of the script. adb.exe is also good to have in the 902 FXZ dir, but, is not required. If it's not found, you will be shown manual instructions on how to reboot into fastboot. Otherwise we use adb.exe to do it for you. I like automation. :) After the moto-fastboot commands I pause to give you a chance to see any errors that may have happened so you can report them. I cleaned up the text for the manual steps a bit. This should make things smoother. As always please report issues as you find them. Thanks all!

If only motorola/verizon could put out updates as fast as you, we would already be on official Jelly Bean OS.

I've been a software engineer for many years. But, remember, I'm not doing as much QA and validation as moto/vzw. You guys are doing a lot of the testing. I just fix it when I can. :)
 
Like others I got stuck originally at the <waiting for device> Debugging is enabled. I then booted to fastboot and I'm running it again. I am now getting messages that different functions has stopped and then the phone reboots. It has probably restarted 7 times now.

I just finished using your system to get from .229 to .230. It worked like a charm. Thanks for your work on this. :hail:

That's really not normal. If you're stuck in a boot loop you may not have much of a choice but to use the full 902 FXZ to restore the phone. That will wipe the data unfortunately. Ugh. :(

Just to be clear, there should be no problem using this to go from 2233 to 230, correct? I read here that someone else did it successfully, but I'm concerned about keeping system data if the kernel is different between 2233 and 230 which I heard it is. Thoughts on this?
