So I tried to fast boot from the most recent update, which I now know isn't possible, so now whenever I turn the phone on it goes to the fast boot screen and says Fastboot Reason: Flash Failure. Every time I turn the phone on I need to hold down the buttons and select the reboot phone option or whatever its called. My worry is that if the phone battery dies it will not be able to charge. Is this a valid concern? I have been too scared to test it out. Also is there any way I can get it back to normal so it doesn't go to fast boot every time?

I had the same problem and tried to flash the stock update (most recent) from the droid developers forum. Now when I try to boot normally it fails and when I boot into recovery, I get the message "No valid PIV block in SP for system, piv validation failed (system). Doesn't seem good...any suggestions?

So, an update. Having gotten to this point out of a desire to return to the pre-OTA 4.1.2 version (build 9.9.1Q-66), I decided to see if Matt's utility would flash a system onto my now-fast boot only device. Surprise, surprise, I picked option 1 (stock system, kernel & radio), and it actually returned my device to working order using the earlier build. I now intend to flash the stock recovery and then proceed to see if I can root the device using the earlier exploit. I guess I found the hard way to roll-back the recent OTA...

Successfully used Matt's utility (option 2) to flash stock recovery. A question, if I use option 5 (Motochopper Root Exploit) to root the phone, can I return it to stock using option 1?

On the other hand, unlocking the bootloader using motopocalypse appears to be a one-way trip. Has anyone been able to relock their bootloader after unlocking it with this exploit?

Not sure why one would want to relock. If you're concerned about warranty, there have been several people I know of who have sent theirs in unlocked and there were no issues.

I was having the exact same issue and then I came across this post, and now, no more "flash failure" error. Thanks bro!

I you're on the latest OTA and your BL is locked, you can't use any of Matt's utilities. What exactly is your issue?
