  1. I have Droid Mini that was auto-updated to 4,4,4. Am trying to root and have run into a problem with your first step of resetting to original build. RSD Lite will not recognize the phone. The moto driver installed is 2.5.4. Your downloads were for 2.4.5. Should I uninstall the newer driver? I did try that with Device Manager and got the same result with RSD Lite not recognizing the phone. Windows Explorer does recognize the phone. My Laptop is Windows 10 (x64)

  3. Hi Tom,
    I’ve been trying to find a link to Droid Mini/Maxx/Ultra SU 6-7 (non OTA). In alll your tutorials and directions, I have been unable to find any such link. All the stock Motorola after running restore the phone back to 4.4.4,
    System version 24.21.7,Build number SU6.7.7.
    Can you post a direct link to that elusive non OTA location?
    Thanks,
    Doug

  5. I finally found a version of RSD Lite that would recognize my Moto Droid Mini XT1030, but when I run the 4.4.4 SU 2-3-1.5 it fails and I get the following error on my phone:
    downgraded security version
    update gpt_main version failed
    preflash validation failed for GPT

    Also when I try to follow these manual installation steps,
    fastboot oem fb_mode_set
    mfastboot
    fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
    fastboot flash logo logo.bin
    fastboot flash boot boot.img
    I get “preflash validation failed”

    Any suggestions or comments would be very helpful.

    Thanks,
    Doug

  6. Hello Tom,
    I posted this earlier but I’ve seen no response (maybe I dont know where to look. It regards your July 2016 video on how to root a dorid mini, max, or ultra when RSD Lite wouldn’ work with Windows 10.

    This is the warnoing that I got when I looked at the text file contained in the zip.

    CFC-fastboot-obakem_verizon-user-4.4-SU2-3-15-release-keys.xml.zip

    Release Notes – MBM-NG-V30.B2
    =============================

    Warning for secure phone users:
    ===============================
    The security version for all the bootloader components have been incremented in bootloader V30.30. So, an older version of the bootloader cannot be flashed on the phone once its upgraded to 30.30 and above. Trying to flash an older version can brick the phone.

    What’s new:
    ===========
    1. Reverted CPL23 (RPM and SBL’s are reverted to 30.B0).

    So I found this file CFC-fastboot-obake_verizon-user-4.4-SU2-3-15-release-keys.xml.zip and the only difference appearing to be obake rather than obakem. From the .xml file therein I built up the following fastboot file:
    echo off

    fastboot oem fb_mode_set
    fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
    fastboot flash motoboot motoboot.img
    fastboot flash logo.bin
    fastboot flash boot.img
    fastboot flash recovery.img
    fastboot flash system.img
    fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin
    fastboot erase modemst1
    fastboot erasemodemst2
    fastboot flash fsg.mbn
    fastboot erase cache
    fastboot erase userdata
    fastboot erase customize
    fastboot eraseclogo
    fastboot oemconfig carrier vzw
    fastboot oemfb_mode_clear

    Pause
    fastboot reboot
    exit

    Rather than run the batch file and get bricked I decided to run each step one at a time. After I ran the second line of code I got a write failure. Below is a copy of the my directory and what I did:

    I don’t know how to take the image off my phone when it’s in fastboot mode so I’m going to type the fastboot info here:

    Fastboot Reason: Key pressed
    USB connected
    process oem command: fb_mode_set
    getvar partition-type:partition
    getvar max-download-size
    downloading 32768 bytes
    done
    downloaded security version
    update get_main version failed
    preflash validation failed for GPT

    Is there any work around that you know of in order to downgrade my Droid Mini 4.4.4 SU 6.7.7? Or is yther no possible way now that Mortorola has seemingly made it impossibloe to downgrade and root?
    My email is dbondo1@gmai.com.
    Any comments or help would be greatly appreciated.
    Doug

  12. I saw a youtube video where you pointed to this site to update a Motorola Droid from 4.4.4 to Lollipop. Movie Pass updated their app. My wife’s Motorola Maxx (which seems to correspond to the Ultra when I did a search) is up-to-date on updates (they never went beyond 4.4.4), but in the video you showed a program that (without rooting) you downloaded to a folder and updated a Motorola from 4.4.4 to a 5.0 version. That app (or file) no longer seems to be anywhere on this site. Where can I get it, if it’s still available?
