Yeap, I tried it before, but got the same error.

 

Please give me a screen shot of the files in the FXZ directory.  Something's clearly missing.

I'm at a loss on this one. Everything looks like it should be there.  Delete the whole SamuriHL_Downgrade directory, unzip it again, and try again.  Something is not right but I don't know what.

Define "acted like it took the update".  It's not a matter of just putting it on the sdcard.  You do have to go and install it.  You did this, right?  Step 5?  Followed the directions as it tells you?

Yes, I followed step 5. Selected the zip file on my phone and watched the update install with the android behind it. Then wiped cache and rebooted. I don't have any other zip files on my ext card so I know that I clicked on the right file.

If it succeeded in recovery then it installed.  Post a pic of your about screen.

isn't that the error you get when you've selected the XML from inside the zip?

I thought of that, too, but, it seems to be extracted.

that is correct. You started there , rolled back then when you installed the update you are back to it.

[jimt68]

Great. Thanks. I was thinking that you were implying that there was a recent update that I missed. My phone was soft bricked for a month. I appreciate your help!

[SamuriHL]

So you're all set now?  Rooted and all?

[jimt68]

Indeed! :-)

This may be a dumb question, but... if we can get to AP Fastboot, and from there into the Stock Recovery, and if that gives us the ability to install a file from the external sdcard, why couldn't you use this to install twrp or cwm?

You have the signing key used to sign official updates?  If no, then that's why.

No the folder with the XML was extracted. It seems to be a problem with my Windows 7x64. I've tried to run the tool under Win XP, and it started normally, but now I have another problem -read/write error while flashing file

Make sure the Moto drivers are updated and maybe try a different port on the XP machine.

[livinginkaos]

Moto cable?

[cemotech]

Stupid noob question. Does this delete any installed apps or customizations?

Thanks
