Please do yourself a favor and read, read again, and read one more time before installing and using this tool.  If it's set up correctly, it's very easy to use.  But if you don't follow directions, it'll either not work or not do what you expect.  Failure to read and follow the directions is NOT a defect of the tool!
 
ATTENTION:  This version is NO LONGER supported.  The latest version of the House of Moto can be here:

If you're undaunted and want to use this version with *NO* expectation of ANY support, you may do so but DO NOT PM ME with ANY questions for this version as I will NOT respond.

 

Mission statement for tool:
 
This will allow users to have a user friendly framework automation tool for new Motorola devices.  Easily customized for any device that allows fastboot flashing of custom scripts that perform various functions.  Most notably is when a user screws something up and the phone no longer boots (so called soft bricking).  The scripts can restore the partitions of the phone to minty factory fresh in the event that your phone doesn't boot or you just want to refresh your device.
 
FULL = Flash everything, erase userdata (even if the FXZ doesn't inherantly do so, it is added to the generated FULL script) NOTE: Erases data and internal storage.
KEEP DATA = Flash everything, do NOT erase userdata (regardless of whether the FXZ contains the erase userdata line or not)
UNIVERSAL = Flash everything except GPT and TZ, do NOT erase userdata (regardless of whether the FXZ contains the erase userdata line or not)
 
WARNING: You MUST do ALL of these steps for this to work!

NOTE: You MUST have Java 7 or higher installed and correctly set up to allow it to run executable jars!
 

Install:

o) You MUST install the Motorola USB driver

o) Extract the HouseOfMoto folder in the zip to your hard drive.  IMPORTANT: Make sure no spaces are in the path. (Windows users should extract it to C:\)
o) Run the HouseOfMoto-ScriptGenerator.jar
o) It will prompt you to select your FXZ's zip file or xml file.  Pay attention:
    -If you select the zip, you MUST create a new directory in the HouseOfMoto directory that starts with FXZ_ to extract it to else it will not work.  You can do this from the selection dialog that comes up to select the destination folder to extract to.
    -If you extract the FXZ manually to the HouseOfMoto directory, the directory name MUST start with FXZ_ else it will not work.  You must then select the xml file in the FXZ_ directory you extracted to in order to generate the scripts.

 to your FXZ directory
o) If you have a Snapdragon device (xt907, xt926, xt1060, etc), you MUST extract

 to your FXZ directory
 
NOTE: It is recommended you name your FXZ directory something like FXZ_xt1053 to make it clear what model it's for.
 
P.S. If you don't end up with Windows, Darwin, and Linux folders in your FXZ_xt#### directory, you did it wrong.
 
This is what it looks like if you don't install the SUPPORT file:

USAGE:

 

o) Your phone MUST be in AP Fastboot mode.  Try holding volume down and pressing the power button when the phone is off.

o) Run the HouseOfMoto.bat or HouseOfMoto.sh in your HouseOfMoto directory

o) Select the FXZ you wish to flash

o) Select the script you wish to flash

o) Follow directions!
 
(Linux/Mac Users):
o) You may need to chmod +x HouseOfMoto.sh
o) You will need to run it as sudo ./HouseOfMoto.sh
 
DA FAQ:
 
Q: My RAZR HD or M is stuck in AP Fastboot mode with a sticky bit failure.  Help?
A:

 Follow that.
 
SUPPORT:
 
Something went wrong...now what?
 
Installation issue:
 
o) Run the CreateLog.bat file and post the results

And yes, a Linux/Mac version of this could be possible.  It just won't be in the first release.

For us less knowledgeable types -

 

"This will allow all users going forward to have a user friendly framework automation tool for new Motorola devices.  Easily customized for any device that allows RSD or fastboot flashing."

 

To which Moto devices does this apply? Bionic on the list?

The answer lies in your quote. Any device that allows rsd or fastboot flashing. :)

OP updated with new information.  HoB users are going to have to adjust as this is not a hand holding tool.  LOL!  It's very simplistic but VERY powerful in terms of what you can do with it.

 

What's working:

 

o) Dynamic menus that detect your scripts depending on mode you selected

o) Root detection (will not show root option if run.bat doesn't exist in the root directory)

o) Changing flash modes and rescanning for scripts

 

What's left to do:

 

o) Instructing the user to reboot AP Fastboot mode

o) Copying the script and supporting files to the FXZ directory

o) Calling RSD with the script

o) Calling the fastboot batch file

o) Cleaning up the FXZ dir after the script is finished

Thanks a million, Sam, for all of your effort.  HOB has saved me several times and I'm sure this utility will invaluable.

OP is updated again.  cough cough ;)  Testers need to be advanced users to make sure everything works.  Kaos, I want you testing for the HD.  I need a Bionic tester, as well.  Testing will blow away root, so, be prepared.
