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!
 
Mission statement for tool:
 
This tool facilitates the flashing of so-called factory images (FXZ's) to restore your device's partitions to a minty factory fresh state.  
 
 
WARNING: You MUST do ALL of these steps for this to work!  This is VERY different from previous House of Moto versions.  PAY ATTENTION!

 (For now....stay tuned)
 
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 House Of Moto zip to a folder on your hard drive.  IMPORTANT: Make sure no spaces are in the path. (Windows users should extract it to C:\)
 
Setup (Needs to be completed each time you acquire a new factory image):
o) Copy the compressed factory image (the FXZ that's a zip or tar.gz) to the HouseOfMoto/IMAGES folder
o) Run the HouseOfMoto.jar
o) Select the compressed factory image you copied to your HouseOfMoto/IMAGES folder
o) When the extraction and script generation is complete, click finish

 

 
NOTE:
 
If you have an OMAP device (xt875, xt912, etc), you MUST extract

 to the HouseOfMoto/TOOLS folder and overwrite the existing files
If you have a 2012 era SNAPDRAGON device (xt926, xt907, etc), you MUST extract

 to the HouseOfMoto/TOOLS folder and overwrite the existing files
 

USAGE:

 

Warning: Do NOT run the script until you are ready to start flashing.  It will start flashing IMMEDIATELY when you run the script!

 

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

o) Your phone MUST be connected to a USB 2 port via the original OEM USB cable that came with your phone.

o) In the new HouseOfMoto/MOTO folder, run flashme.bat or flashme.sh (see Linux/Mac notes below)

o) Depending on your factory image and device, you may be asked a series of questions during flashing.  READ THEM CAREFULLY.  Failure to do so will result in your data being ERASED!

 

(Linux/Mac Users):
o) You may need to chmod +x flashme.sh
o) You will need to run it in a terminal as sudo ./flashme.sh
 
Custom Recovery:
 
Warning: This only applies to UNLOCKED USERS.  If you "try" this on a locked bootloader, you will brick, and I will NOT be sympathetic to you.
 
o) Download your custom recovery image file from

Please Login or Register to see this Hidden Content

.  ONLY TWRP is supported.
o) Copy it to the HouseOfMoto/RECOVERY folder
 
NOTE: Some Moto devices do not allow booting recovery from memory, which this script will attempt to do when installing SuperSU.  If you're one of the unlucky ones where booting recovery from memory does not work, you will have to flash custom recovery, boot it, and allow it to run the SuperSU script when you reboot to system.
 
ALSO: If you add custom recovery AFTER you generate your scripts, it will not work.  You will need to regenerate the script!
 
DA FAQ:
 
Q: My RAZR HD or M is stuck in AP Fastboot mode with a sticky bit failure.  Help?
A: 

Please Login or Register to see this Hidden Content

  Follow that.
 
Q: I attempted the SuperSU install from the script and now boot to AP Fastboot with a failed flash message every time I restart the phone.
A: You're either on a locked bootloader or your phone doesn't support booting recovery from memory.  Rerun the flashme script and do not use the SuperSU option this time.
 
SUPPORT:
 
Something went wrong...now what?
 
Flash issue:
 
o) Provide the following information:
 
-Model of phone
-Exact system version the phone was on before flashing (4.1.2 is NOT a version)
-Exact filename of the FXZ you are attempting to flash
-The text of the AP Fastboot mode
-The contents of the flashme.bat/sh file from the HouseOfMoto/MOTO folder
-The text copied from the flashme.bat/sh run (select all the text, copy it, and paste it into your post)
-The text copied from the HouseOfMoto/Generate.log file
-Details of everything you've "tried"
-Any other pertinent information that will help us diagnose and fix your problem.

So I wanted to talk about the changes I've made.  The previous version of House of Moto was written to be more of a framework for users to customize scripts for flashing.  No one ever took advantage of it and instead it became a tool for simply fixing devices.  This version has embraced that.  I've modeled this after my new House of Nexus tool.  It will generate a script (bat for Windows sh for Linux/Mac) for your factory image (FXZ).  My long time House of Moto users are probably freaking out a little bit seeing only one script getting generated.  "But I need KEEP DATA!  I need UNIVERSAL!  WTF, Samuri?!?!?"  Calm down.   :D  If you fully read the OP, which you did.....RIGHT? :D you will see the part that says "the script will ask you questions during flashing."  Let's talk about that for a minute cause this is where the power of the new HoM comes from.  When the script generator detects certain partitions, it'll add special code to the script to prompt you with an option.  So, let's say you're unlocked and are looking to downgrade.  Typically you'd have generated a UNIVERSAL script and gone to town, right?  Ok, but, the magic there is that it simply skips certain partitions.  GPT and TZ, specifically.  Additionally motoboot on some devices.  So this new script that gets generated will ask you:

 

Flash GPT partition?  [y/n]

Flash TZ partitoin?  [y/n]

 

If you're looking to downgrade (again, ONLY for unlocked users), you select N to those questions.

 

Now, what about FULL vs KEEP DATA?  Same concept as UNIVERSAL.  The difference between the two is that FULL erases the userdata partition whereas KEEP DATA does not.  Soooooo, the script will now ask you if you want to erase the userdata partition.  Use that option carefully.

 

What does this all mean for the future?  Well, like with the House of Nexus, I have some stuff I'm going to add soon for unlocked users that'll truly rock.  Things like flashing custom recovery (TWRP only) in place of stock recovery and then prompting the user to install SuperSU using TWRP.  That'll be in 4.1 most likely tomorrow.

 

This is all new code so please report any issues you encounter.

Hey Samuri, thank you for this tool and your time and effort you put into this! I have a brand new Imac running osx 10.10.1 so everything is a clean install.  I did the following, installed Java 8.25.  

 

The drivers linked in the post are windows drivers with an .msi so I googled moto drivers for mac and downloaded the MDM installer 2.2.9 from this page

Please Login or Register to see this Hidden Content

and installed that.

 

 I downloaded the FXZ for my Droid Maxx xt1080 from the motofirmware site which is called CFC-fastboot-obake-maxx_verizon-user-4.4-SU2-3-15-release-keys.xml.zip.  

 

Downloaded House of moto 4.0 extracted it to the root of my Hard drive which would be Macintosh HD/Houseofmoto

 

Put the FXZ into the house of moto/images folder 

 

Ran the houseofmoto.jar which extracts this set of commands

clicked finish
 
 
Then I go into houseofmoto/moto to look for the Flashme.bat or Flashme.sh and I cannot find that file.  I've searched the computer using the key words flashme.bat and flashme.sh  to see if I have missed something and it is not there.  I only have usb 3 ports on this mac but I am using the original usb cable in fastboot mode.  
 
is there something I am missing?  
 
Thank you again for all your hardwork!

Found and squashed your bug, but, I found another one that's more concerning to me.  It's taking a bit longer to fix than I'd like.  Should be done soon, though.  Watch for 4.1 shortly.

I have a Droid Razr M

Sometimes the phone doesn't initialize the camera, and when that happens, I restart the phone.

Yesterday this happened and I was restarting the phone, but it never came alive. It's stock in the loading part (the red eye thing).

 

I can access my AP FastBoot, it says "Device is locked"

 

So I reached your topic, and tried to do what you said, but there were 2 problems:
First, it seems like the script doesn't get extracted for me. It keeps giving me an error saying "ERROR: XML script not found in this factory image.  This is not yet supported." (there are two more lines before this, but didn't seem much relevant)

(I did the parts exactly as mentioned in the first post. I extracted HouseOfMoto in C:\, copied the image file in image folder, and then imported the file in HouseOfMoto.jar

2. There is no TWRP file for my phone model.

 

Does anyone have any idea what I should do?! I'd reeeeeaaaaally appreciate it if some one could help me

 

Thanks in advance

 

P.S: Details in the order mentioned in the first post:

 

- Droid Razr M
- I believe my android version is 4.1.2 and I've never tried rooting, unlocking, flashing or anything else, the phone was running on a raw Android
- There is no FXZ file that I can see. If there's a location that I can check that, please let me know
- AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
10.9B(*) (sha-61146a2, 2014-07-09 02:30:05)
eMMC Info: Size 8 GB
 
Device is LOCKED, Status Code: 0
 
Battery OK
 
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
 
Fastboot Reason: Boot menu selected
usb connected
 
- The HouseOfMoto/MOTO folder is empty
- There is no such file (flashme.bat/sh)
- Custom recovery not found.
Using factory image: Blur_Version.21.21.15.quark_verizon.verizon.en.US.zip
ERROR: XML script not found in this factory image.  This is not yet supported.
-  People posted one more solution to this problem which was going to recovery mode, and then pressing VOL down and VOL up and releasing VOL up which would lead to a "factory reset", but when I try that, the broken android guy keeps saying "no command"

You're lucky that didn't work or you'd have bricked that phone. What made you think that was the right FXZ for your device? The factory image (which is the fxz) you are using is not for the razr m. Period.

Any ideas for a solution maybe?!

Hopefully, the solution is flashing the correct FXZ. If you're not bricked from flashing the incorrect FW, you should be able to flash the correct FW.

Thanks guys.

 

I haven't done anything to the phone, so it's not hard bricked, yet!

 

How can I know the right FXZ?! (regarding that I'm not sure about my Android version. As long as I can remember, it was up-to-date and the version was 4.1.2)

 

And once that I get the right FXZ, can I flash the device using the solution provided in this topic?!

Trying to FXZ my Bionic. Below is the message I get. I had planned on just using the old HoB files to FXZ but apparently I don't have them anymore. What'd I do wrong here? Seems really straightforward. Double checked the process.
 
Custom recovery not found.
