Its not intuitive. OK, here we go:


To get to AP fast boot:
without the phone plugged into the USB, hold volume up, volume down, and power to get to the selection screen
volume down to highlight AP fast boot
volume up to select AP fast boot (in this menu. volume up is enter key)
you should now see the AP fast boot screen
now plug into USB, there should be a line on the screen that confirms this.

for the recovery mode (you may need this, I did when I was rooting)
follow the boot menu steps above for the recovery option
when the android mascot with the case opened appears, I pressed both volume buttons to bring up the recovery menu
in this menus, the power button is the enter key, go figure


hope this helps. and if someone else posts something different, listen to them. I only just did this, so I'm still a noob as well haha.

My HD Maxx phone is in AP Fastboot Flash Mode, and I'm trying to get back to ICS by choosing option 1, but it hangs on <waiting for device>.

The phone is on the AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) screen, when I run DROID_RAZR_HD_Utility I press 1, ENTER, ENTER, and then I get <waiting for device> and it doesn't do anything.

I've updated my Motorolla drivers on my PC. I just downloaded and confirmed all my pictures from my phone, so I'm fairly confident in the USB cable/sockets. I've tried different orderings of Fastboot/plug in cable/run program on PC.

The AP Fastboot screen reads:
_____________________________
Device is LOCKED, Status Code: 0

Battery OK (I was at 92%)

Connect USB
Data Cable

Fastboot Reason: Boot menu selected
_____________________________

How do I proceed?

Thank you very much

Try a different USB port and see if it runs. If not post back and we will do some process of elimination.

Different port, same problem.

The droid is in Fastboot, I can see it from my computer (i.e. Computer\DROID RAZR HD\Internal storage) and I can browse it's data, so I'm fairly certain the connection is working.

Do you have USB debugging enabled? ADB set up on your computer?

USB debugging enabled.

What is ADB? That could be it.

@snowman

Read up a few posts, that's the same problem I had. tmyinc pointed me in the right direction. I had to manually update both to 0.7.2 and 9.1.41, but it works. the link is below

When you power down then boot up into bootloader are you scrolling down to ap fastboot then selecting it with the volume up button?

OK, rebooting my PC (again) seems to have fixed the problem.

For those that may have this issue, one difference in my AP Flashboot screen AFTER I rebooted my PC was initially it said:
_____________________________
Device is LOCKED, Status Code: 0

Battery OK (I was at 92%)

Connect USB
Data Cable

Fastboot Reason: Boot menu selected
_____________________________

But after a reboot underneath "Fastboot Reason: Boot menu selected" it says "usb connected"

No idea why. My guess is that (pre-PC-reboot) the PC can see the phone (since I can browse it's data) but the phone, for whatever reason, cannot see the PC.

[tmyinc]

Well a reboot of PC and phone was on my list lol. I'm glad you got it working. And thank you for the info. This will help others that were in your situation.

alright thanks so much for help and links got everything done
went back to ICS Rooted but could not update
thanks for the links for the updates that worked manually
back on Jelly Bean with Root thanks again

ONLY ONE PROBLEM A ERROR MESSAGE FLASHES CONSTANTLY
THAT SAYS " UNFORTUNATLEY MOTOROLA SERVICES HAS STOPPED"
I CLICK OK AND IT JUST KEEPS COMING BACK ?

Update got it fixed with a hard reset oh well start all over again , getting good at it now, everything working perfect now!! YEE

THANKS ALL FOR HELP AND LINKS YOUR ALL THE BEST , TIME TO DONATE!!

[billyhewlett1]

I'm a bit further in the process now, but stuck again. I've successfully gone back to ICS, rooted, ran Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper to Temp Unroot.

Now I'm trying to get back to Jellybean. When I go to Settings/About phone and click System updates, it comes up with Update available (a software update 0,7.2.en.US (6.0 MB) is available), but then it comes up with a Dialog box that says
"Info | An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later. | OK"

I've tried power cycling the phone. I've unplugged it from the computer and back in again. I even tried running steps 1 and 2 (reverting back to ICS, rooting again), in hopes that a wipe would fix things, but perhaps fortuitously, nothing happened.
Perhaps I need to manually install Jellybean (like snowman, above). I got the "Motorola Services has stopped" message once, when I went to Settings/About phone/System Updates and let the 30 second timer time out.

Where might I find the Jellybean binaries, or should I take different steps?

Thank you.

No it won't. You need specific files for your device. I don't have time to look at the moment but Google rsd lite and droid 4 sbf files. If you have trouble pm me and I will look when I can.
