fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear

Have a Razr-M (XT907) and the over the air update to KitKat 4.4 was not installing. It would download the green android man would appear and start the download, but he would fall over dead and it would fail. Tried it after a system restore to original factory default still failed. So I tried doing it manually using RSD Lite (had to remove the "getvar" line in the xml file to get it to work. It completed 15 out of 20 steps (not sure how many steps there were) and on Number 16 (system.img) is says Phone returned fail. I tried to flash the previous version (since that had updated successfully but that failed on step 2). So then I copied the previous system.img to the new 4.4 install folder to see if that worked and that also failed.
So now I have a phone that of course does not boot. But it responds fine to RSD Lite, just won’t get past the system.img flash. I also tried Matt's utility (choices 1 and 2) but I can't get past flash failure on bootup or "no valid PIV block in SP for system piv validation failed (system) Fastoot Reason: Boot Failure"
At this point, I would be fine getting back to the previous version or if someone could help with updating to current version that is fine. The phone is not rooted although I would be fine with doing that. Whatever get its working again.
I don't know what I'm doing anymore.....

Well there is another issue now--not a big deal. When I power down and push the start button to turn the phone on, I get "Sticky bit factory_fastboot". How can I get it to reboot normally?

Wish I had seen that--followed the commands on another recommendation and it made my phone re-set to factory. No big deal since I set it all up last night, it was much quicker today! But the commands worked. The commands that worked were:
fastboot oem fb_mode_set
fastboot oem fb_mode_clear
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot
My guess is I only needed the first two. The "fastboot erase userdata" was the killer. I didn't realize that would factory reset the phone. But again, its about a 30 to 40 minute job to set up my phone from scratch. I do it every so often just to have a fresh start.
