xt1080 write protected?

[evil_haxor]

I was given a xt1080 for repair

24.13.2.obake-maxx
SU6-7.2
Locked bootloader. No root. No adb access.



System boots but there is constants force close of background processes like gapps and acore.

I wanted to factory reset and I did but on reboot it had all the same apps and user data intact, no factory state.

Changing any config or uninstalling any app result in it being back after reboot.



What I've tried so far:



-Factory option in AP Fastboot menu. Reboots to system with all the data intact.

-Recovery option in AP Fastboot menu. Reboots to bootloader and states "Boot up failed".



-fastboot erase userdata

-fastboot -w

both with the resulting output:

erasing 'userdata'...
OKAY [ 0.500s]
erasing 'cache'...
OKAY [ 0.620s]
finished. total time: 1.120s
but sadly all userdata is sitting there intact after reboot.


I downloaded VZW-4.4.4-SU6-7.2-release-keys.xml.zip. Tried with RSDLite but it didn't detect the device.
I have installed the drivers and MotorolaDeviceManager. So I decompressed the firmware and flashed the partitions
using fastboot in a script. Resulting in all partitions being flashed OK but after reboot the device
was the same as before with all the apps and user data present. Spooky isn't it?

Can some one offer me any advice? Is it a hardware faliure?


Output of the script follows:

C:\Users\ernesto\Downloads\xt1080\ADB&FastBoot_v2.56>mfastboot.exe oem fb_mode_set

This may take a few seconds, if a

Put phone in fastboot mode first, then plug it in and do the RSD thing

I've done that. RSDLite wont detect the device. I have the drivers installed. Anyway what would be diferent about flashing with RSDLite, doesn't it uses fastboot to flash the partitions? Thanks for your reply.

I selected BP Tools in bootloader menu. Now I have adb access. Tried to delete some files, this is what I get:



shell@obake-maxx:/sdcard/dcim/Camera $ rm *
rm *
rm failed for IMG_20160222_223144143.jpg, Read-only file system
255|shell@obake-maxx:/sdcard/dcim/Camera $

In BP Tools mode various devices get detected. One of them is Motorola QC Diag Port, I installed the drivers.
Now it shows in QPST software. QPST has a Software Download utility that is suposed to flash bootloaders,
partitions images and whole firmware images. Does any one has any experience flashing with QPST?

If the drivers are recognizing the phone, I'd consider the Verizon Software Upgrade Assistant.

See http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-116821/

(The ADB behavior sounds right. The bootloader-locked Maxx is pretty locked down.)

You may need to activate the developer options from the settings menu. RSD Lite will also recognize the phone from the fastboot mode.
