[HOW TO] Restore your Motorola Droid 4 (XT894) to stock [Windows Only]

if you're worried abut asurion finding out it was rooted they don't care, last i heard
motorola only cares if its a warranty claim

 

that eases my mind alot!
is there any way to 'quick and dirty' undo the root? will the SU "unroot" do it?

 

universal unroot will

The link has changed to: http://sbfdownload.droid-developers.org/cdma_maserati/cdma_maserati_9.8.2O-72_VZW-18_1ff.xml.zip

 

Thank you all for doing all this.
I realize how many people are involved since i screwed up my restoring by backuping the wrong file and then the restore is lame
Sadly, it looks like the last link is not going nice. I have extra ftp storage available that i would be happy to share for one half gig file that made my day

Pm me if you want storage for this, and also, how could i get this file so my phone might get back up?

Thanks in advance

 

Which is the 'last link'?

is this concerning sys. updates? i.e. returning to stock from an otherwise up-to-date phone is not recommended & I should use 98.72.182 or 98.72.188 instead of:

or is that referring to something else entirely? Are there any precautions re: memory cards in place while doing this &/or is there a way to do this via (micro)SD card, even say, a separate memory card?

 

you should use the same system version or newer

will not effect internal or external memory cards,

you need a pc to flash .xml firmware

 

Does this step initiate some sort of communication w/ RSDLite for this next step?

I ask b/c when I click on the "..." button it pulls up my Documents folder w/o any evident "fastboot image .zip file." Where am I supposed to find that? That's not a Motorola USB Driver from Step 3, right? Is it something RSDLite is supposed to be viewing from the Droid itself? Thanks for the help friends. I'm looking at you Ninjas & Masters.
