Having trouble going back to JB 4.1.2

[btstarcher]

Last night I "upgraded" to 4.1.2 OTA; everything worked fine, I even kept root. Then I flashed Carbon Rom Port, and it was mostly working OK, but a few issues (mostly just Play Store problems) made me decide to flash Kexec kernel. Well that was a mistake; it made everything worse. So I decided to re-flash the OEM 4.1.2. I rebooted to the stock ROM, removed Safestrap, and temp unrooted using Voodoo (the same things I had done when I flashed OTA) and rebooted into stock recovery. Selected "Update from external card" and selected the OEM file I had downloaded; Blur_Version.6.7.246.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip. It installs, then the setup fails, and when I try to reboot it gets hung up at the boot screen every time.

Well I can get it to boot with stock 4.1.2, but it never lets me get to the home screen or open any applications. I can get to settings and clear notifications just fine. It crashes only when I reboot. This is weird.

I should probably add that I've had this phone for only a day, and it's my very first Motorola device; I've always used HTC devices.

You should use rsd lite on your computer to fxz the stock jb build to your bionic. These are the instructions to use rsd lite. However, you will need to use the jelly bean fxz. Do not try to fxz to ICS 246 as you are told to do here.

Damn. It would be that simple. I'll see if that works; I don't see why it wouldn't. Thanks. I guess I just didn't realize that the JB FXZ file was out; must have been looking at old threads on XDA last night. It's all kind of a blur now.

Well hell...got an error message, "Failed flashing process. 6/21 flash "cdt.bin" -> Phone returns FAIL." Good times....LOL

EDIT: Tried again....this time with the correct FXZ file. This time error message was "Failed flashing process. 5/24 oem fb_mode_set -> Phone returns FAIL."

OK, I found Droid bionic JB FXZ help! - xda-developers, and did this:

1. open the file : cdma_targa_9.8.2O-72_VZW-22_cfc
2. remove the line : <step operation="oem" var="fb_mode_set" /> AND <step operation="oem" var="fb_mode_clear" />
3. Save
4. Try flash use RSD

It's currently recompressing; hopefully it will fix it.

EDIT: That worked; running just fine now!
