One Click to get back on upgrade path

[deduct]

Okay ive downloaded one click method onto computer and placed bionic pathsaver and motofmradio.apk- shortcut into same folder. Hooked up phone followed instructions and told me o should extract files. Did that and said to hit enter. It started but said device not found so guess its not finding my phone. What am i doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

Debug mode enabled? Phone in usb charging mode? I think that's what the script requires.

you may need to install the moto drivers, USB and PC Charging Drivers - Motorola Mobility, Inc. USA

im wondering why you put that radio.apk in the pathsaver?

I will try downloading motorola drivers to computer real quick. When i first connected phone to computer it did have a message saying it was missing something. I thought i read to mobe all downloaded files to same folder. So i created new folder and moved them both to that folder. Should i not do that?

if you never installed the drivers on your pc thats surely the issue.

it might just be me not knowing, i was wondering what that radio.apk has to do with this task?
maybe you could explain or post a link to where you got it so i can understand why you put it in there.

Thanks

Saved moto drivers to computer. I found that motofmradio in downloads on computer and thought i needed it in same folder as bionic pathsaver. That was wrong i take it. Should i remove it from that folder or is it harmless sitting there? Now that i think about it i believe its the fm radio file i downloaded a while back so i could have fm radio on phone.

It won't hurt anything but definitely not used in this process.

Also, should i have a full battery before i try this? Its at 40%

It's probably safer. I have 2 batteries and a charger so I didn't really think about it. Once I got to the point where it would no longer allow me to flash I just swapped the batteries.

 

[bweN diorD]

its recommended at least 50%, it usually doesnt use more than 10% for normal flashes.

also, keep an eye on the prompt, a couple times it will need you to click through and it gives instructions.
some parts take a long time (up to 10min) thats normal. dont do anything to the phone or script unless it asks or its done.

 

[deduct]

Ok. I'll wait till i hit 50% to be safe. I really just want to get back to stock 5.5. I'm running 5.7 right now. I am not sure of i want to flash to 5.9 yet. So will it ask after im stock again whether or not i want to move on to 5.9?

I think it drops you in stock recovery so you can choose which update/s to install.

 

[bweN diorD]

it will ask but you have to flash them in order, 5.5 first.
you can always boot into recovery later and flash 901 if you dont want to do it now, the file will stay on your sd until you delete it.
