[Q] Not bricked but "bootlooped"

So my buddy was going through his files and may have possibly deleted an important file (update.zip) from when I rooted his phone. I able to get into initial part of recovery (1. reboot system 2.apply update.zip 3. wipe system 4. wipe cache) but when I click apply update.zip I get failed to verify whole_file signature, instiallation aborted. Any ideas?

this should be in general
however what file are you trying to flash? if its a ROM, redownload it and click choose zip and choose the file not the "update.zip" choice

I'm not trying to flash a rom. I'm actually trying to just get it to boot up fully. I'm not in clockwork recovery. I'm at the menus when you power on the phone while holding the home button
EDIT: I usually don't post questions, I'm usually good about fixing them before having to come here for help.

haha, thanks homie. I've been looking up this sbf stuff I've been looking up pretty much states that I need to put the phone is PC mode (mass storage) and enable debbuging bridge, which I'm unable to do since I can't actually get the phone out of android system recovery.

NOTE: I CANNOT get out of system recovery. Which means I can't access bootstrap, any homescreen functions (PC mode, Debug bridge, etc...) and also unable to push any files to any part of the system files via. command.

turn off hold power down and camera and the power button that will take you to sbf mode then use rsdlite 4.8 or 4.9 make sure you have the correct drivers for the x (32bit or 64bit whichever you use) and the 2.3.340 sbf file. when u plug ur phone that you put in sbf mode open up rsdlite ur phone should show up. click on the "..." button and chose that sbf file you downloaded. click start. when its finished it will bootloop. pull battery, put battery back in hold home and power when the triangle "!" droid pops up hit the search button volume down to factory/data reset reboot phone, bam you'll be on factory 2.2

Thank you,

Just a little note 4.7 works just as well as 4.8 and 4.9. Just thought I'd point that out

While I appreciate the help, this phone is pretty much done for until I get a new battery, will not charge high enough to sbf it.

RDS lite isn't showing my device, help plz? got all the proper files, but unable to get usb bridge going since I can't get into the main OS

You don't need USB bridge, sbf mode has it's own set of drivers that may or may not need to be downloaded manually. Try plugging it in and then going into device manager and making sure it's being recognized, if it shows up as a yellow question mark, you need to install the drivers manually.

Success. Thanx for the help guys. My buddy's phone is in working order again. One last question...is it safe for a reroot?

help motorola bravo

My motorola bravo was being updated when it became a brick. The phone comes on and puts a red M and there does not advance. You can not do the recovery. I need an idea of how to revive it. And try to install but nothing happens sbf reposition the M and there does not happen.

did you boot into bootloader (by holding power + volume up) and then apply the sbf?

and remove your battery and reinstall it.

If I've done both and what comes out is only the red M

your not holding the vol up earlier enough do the following:
1) take out the battery
2) press and hold down the vol up button
3) w/o releasing rhe vol up button, put the battery in.
4) within 3 seconds a black screen will come up with white text.
5) do the sbf
i have bricked the bravo so hard during development and always been able to get to a bootloader screen. one time i bricked so hard it went directly to the bootloader, so you def. can get in to sbf, unless you vol rocker is broken, then you may be screwed. in that case plug int he phone, let it bootloop and try to start the sbf, it might reboto into bootloader for you, but probably not.

so then you should reboot holding vol down and then the recovety will load.
hit vol up and vol down at the same time to load options.
then wipe cache and wipe data.
wiping data is prob only way u can fix it if you already successfully flashed the sbf.

Thanks for the help.
perform the sbf file down twice again but the phone only puts the M, will not let me enter recovery, I think it is a complete brick and not know what else to do.
Too bad there is no sbf2.1 for testing.

hmmm, unless you are going straight to a bootloader screen you should still be able to enter recovery. my only guess is the update was in the middle of updating your recovery when something went wrong and the recovery image is corrupt.
sbf not working plus no access to recovery sounds like a real true brick possibly.
make sure you hold down the vol down and w/o letting go you put the battery in, when you are in this bootloop that is the only way to be sure you get in to recovery.
what happens when you hold down vol down and put the battery in? does it do anything different at all?

The phone was damaged because it was downloaded in the middle of an upgrade.
when I hold the power and volume down, I put the battery and three seconds later reappears M, does not load the recovery.
I think I'm going to give up.
May be taking it to a store at & t service, can do something?

Take it to the at&t store. Since it is so badly damaged due to the update "failing" they can replace it with warranty
Sent from my X10i TripNMiUI using XDA Premium App

I'm a rep @ an AT&T corporate location. Yea, if that update failed, we take care of it. I assume you're referring to the OTA 2.2.

Reviving an old thread as where comeranas left off is where I am at.
Wife has a new phone already so I am just trying to revive this one. If not, it goes into garbage.
The screen has been powering up to the Motorola logo only. I can hold the volume up and power button to get to the bootloader/usb screen.
I cannot get to the recovery screen by holding the volume down and power button. No matter how many times I try and in what combination, it always powers up to the Motorola logo.
I ran the sbf file on it twice with RSD Lite and each time when it gets to the part of re-booting it says "Phone is being rebooted."
Then after the progress gets to a 100%, it says, "Please manually power up this phone."
The Motorola logo is on the screen and I have tried to simply push the power button, pull the battery and re-insert it and pull the battery, hold the volume button down and re-insert the battery all while still hooked up to the computer.
After a few minutes the Results box says Passed. But the phone still goes no further than the Motorola logo.
So as of now, the phone still only powers up to the Motorola logo and goes no further.
Naturally it had to start acting up 2 weeks out of warranty. Dang blang warranty timers installed in these phones. lol!

You can try sbf_flash on Linux and both the full and fixed sbf with it. I'm on phone now, so I can't give good instructions or links, but sbf_flash is around in one of the recovery threads here, and the fixed sbf is at quarx2k.ru and my rom mirror (see signature).
If you need it, I can make a Linux Live tutorial for sbf flash, only requirement would be 512mb usb stick or memory card.
I once had to flash sbf 3 times in a row to fix a brick from an accidental Defy kernel flash in cwm.

So the sbf files you are referring to are different than the 2.2.1 sbf file HERE?
I don't run Linux on my comp.
I'll look at the fixed sbf file in your sig. Maybe I just need to run it over and over again until the phone pops. lol! Thanks.

The fixed sbf contains the bootloader and kernel and it for when you write to either of them and need to reflash back to stock. Handy for when you accidentally flash a Defy from with a boot.img
You don't have to install linux, just use a Live CD and place sbf_flash and the sbf files on a memory stick. Once the Live CD boots, the memory stick should be on the desktop. Open the folder and right click "Open Terminal Here". In the terminal first type:
su
then
chmod 0777 ./sbf_flash
then
./sbf_flash ./fixed_bravo_sbf.sbf
or
./sbf_flash ./p4_kobe_umts_kobe_user_3.4.2-125_KOB_FFW-4_product-keys-ATT-US_ATT-signed.sbf
Just download one of these for your pc's architecture, if you're unsure, then any of the 32-bits will work.
http://www.linuxmint.com/download.php
The reason I suggest using sbf_flash and Linux is that its supposed to fix phones that sbf flashing with RDS Lite won't fix, and it'll flash files that RDS won't like modded root sbfs. Apparently it flashes differently. Don't ask me the difference cause I don't know.
Good Luck.
You said that you couldn't get to the Stock recovery menu, your volume button isn't broke is it? And have you tried up+power and down+power? Kicking it? JK, but throwing my old razr flip phone into the couch as hard as I could used to fix it....it would freeze on boot, but a good toss and it was good as new.

Thanks, gonna give it a try.
I am kinda wondering at this point if the down volume is broke. Though if it was, she would have said something about it before it went down.
I did smack it a few times to no avail. lol!

[HELP] Restoring of brick Huawei U8800

Restoring of brick Huawei U8800.
All do at your own risk! I am not responsible for your machines!
Today I was able to magically (just wonderful, because it found the time at which there is a chance to run the update) to recovery from a brick Huawei U8800 (corrupted bootloader + recovery not run + in a pink screen not mounted hard drive + when trying to update the written Update failed! I spoke to a service center, they said the warranty is not the case and we must change the motherboard (the cost of 3-4 million BYR, new at the MTS salon cost 2.9 million BYR )
What and how I did:
1) To restore I'am using the firmware B162 Android.
2) Format the micro SD card that was clean (I was 8 gb, 2 class and be sure to FAT 32) and unpack "dload" folder and ".txt" file(with a strange name) from the downloaded archive to sdcard.
P.S. I say that not all flash drives can operate restore, I have like three went, normally only one.
3) Insert the micro SD into the phone and pull out the battery.
4) Hold down the Volume (+) and power up, hold and connect the phone via cable to your PC, your phone will be switched on and the logo appear, then turned off my phone (missing logo). So, when the logo will disappear (ie the phone will turn off) and immediately hold down the volume (-) the volume (+) and power up.Main that the updating process can start only one time after the logo was gone, if after a few times in a row press both the volume keys and power up, updating does not start, it is necessary to re-clamp the volume (+) and the power up, after the disappearance of the logo, both the volume and the power up of ... I have to go to the upgrade process if you wrote "Update failed!", try again (I went with 2 times).
5) After a successful update, the phone will reboot, on reboot he should loaded the standard blue recovery.
6) Turn off the phone from the computer, insert the battery, hold down the volume (-) the volume (+) and turn on, wait until you get a pink screen, release the button and connect it to your computer. You should see a new device and to define a disk drive with a folder "image". If we define - rejoice!) If not, then you need to install the driver on the internet enough to the driver, as well as the wood in my going to the Android SDK, not sure ...
7) Thus, we can assume the phone repaired) Download recovery 4.0.0.5 and unpack the archive and copy the file "recovery.img" to a folder "image" with the replacement. A man does not 4.0.0.5 recovery loaded, it is strange, but recovery 5.0.2.7 normally loaded
8.) Disconnect the phone from the computer, pull out / insert the battery and try to enter the recovery (volume (+) and power up).
9) If set, then everything is OK and can now be sewing. I still put 2.2 Geno v8.4 + software package from Google, but I recommend again read all instructions on the firmware, to avoid problems!
Good luck, hope that helped someone, he sat on the forums more than one day, but have not found a solution.
If someone has turned out, a sign of gratitude you can throw money on my phone +375297176005 (MTS, Belarus), would be very grateful
P.S.
Instructions is my and it's my first, that do not copy and paste, you can search the Internet. Do not judge strictly, if something is not designed ...
If there are people who helped, I think you can throw his hat in the description. My message is also present in our 4pda.
Hope springs eternal
Sorry for my english, I'm from Belarus and bad know it

Just thought I would mention it, if you connect the pink screen to Ubuntu/Linux, it will most likely mount.

Just tried this recovery method on a bricked U8800. Didn't do anything at all. Must admit that it was bricked in a way that i didn't see anything at all on the screen. Neither did i notice anything in dmesg on a linux machine.

Hello there!
As you mentioned that you are not able to see other Recovery options like "Install from zip" etc. This is because you must be booting your phone into the Stock Recovery. For those extra options to come up we need to boot the phone into the Custom Recovery.
To boot into Custom Recovery:
1. Press power on button;
2. Notice when the LED light blinks "BLUE" color; press both the volume keys this time;
3. Now it should show you Custom Recovery options this time;
4. Select "Install from Zip" and flash the ROM you were trying to flash (Also refer to the ROM info if that has some special installation steps).
If the above steps does not resolves the issue then you can always flash you phone with the Stock ROM found in the following article named as SBF:

I'm disappointed to know that you are still facing the same issue. Also, renaming the file to update.zip will not let you flash it.
As suggested above first recharge your battery for a while and then flash with appropriate SBF of your region using RSD Lite. Refer to the above given link it has all the information. Also, note that if you flash with any particular android version SBF (which is not a fixed SBF) then you will not be able to downgrade (above article has all info).
Hope this helps!
Good Luck!

Okay, thanks for all.. this is the T Mobile Uk version and i got it with eclair rom, and than updated with orignal T mobile froyo.
Now i should start from froyo or eclair?

You may use any ROM either Froyo or Eclair. Please also check the downgradilbility of the ROM. As in many of the cases if the ROM is not fixed then switching back to the earlier versions is impossible without having the Nandroid backup. I suggest you to use the version which is officially released in your region.

What we need to do?
We are launching Stock Recovery and wiping cache and data.
Use below mentioned steps:
1. Remove battery from phone and then reinsert;
2. Press and hold Volume Down button along with Power button till you see Android icon with an exclamation mark (!);
3. Once you see android icon and exclamation mark release both buttons and now press volume up and volume down button together;
4. Above steps will launch Android System Recovery window (Stock Recovery);
5. Now “wipe data/factory reset” by pressing volume down key and to select press power key;
6. On the next screen it will prompt you to confirm this option by selecting “yes – delete all use data” select this option with power key again;
6. Also “wipe cache partition” from power key as mentioned above;
7. Now select “reboot system now”;
After above steps it will take around 3-5 minutes for first boot and your phone will now boot in normal state.
If the above steps does not resolves the issue then I would recommend you to use some other SBF depending on your region.
Hope this helps!

Thanks Rajneeshgadge17..
When i press these buttons nothing is happening. and i charge up battery with universal charger, don't know what is wrong.

What if I have balck screen in recovery mode as well?
Do you have any idea how to solve the same problem if the recovery mode does not start neither? Only RSDLite sees that the phone is connected. I can refresh the ROM but I did not find the right .sbf file yet. Do you know maybe which one would bring back the phone from death?
Thank you in advance!!

What we need to do?
We are launching Stock Recovery and wiping cache and data.
Use below mentioned steps:
1. Remove battery from phone and then reinsert;
2. Press and hold Volume Down button along with Power button till you see Android icon with an exclamation mark (!);
3. Once you see android icon and exclamation mark release both buttons and now press volume up and volume down button together;
4. Above steps will launch Android System Recovery window (Stock Recovery);
5. Now “wipe data/factory reset” by pressing volume down key and to select press power key;
6. On the next screen it will prompt you to confirm this option by selecting “yes – delete all use data” select this option with power key again;
6. Also “wipe cache partition” from power key as mentioned above;
7. Now select “reboot system now”;
After above steps it will take around 3-5 minutes for first boot and your phone will now boot in normal state.
If the above steps does not resolves the issue then I would recommend you to use some other SBF depending on your region.
Hope this helps!

Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me, my defy doesn’t react for any key combination. RSD Lite still discovers it I can flash any sbf’s. But I’m still getting black screen. The problem is that I don’t know which sbf I should use… Please help. I know I can’t brick defy but if I don’t know how to get back I’m almost there… 

It seems an issue with the Kernel. May be you are flashing the Green lense Defy (MB525) with GB kernel (i.e. MB526 sbf).
Also check the Bootloader version and which Android version you were using.
Here is a list of all the SBF's for both versions:

Hope this helps.
PS:- I don't use Defy for a year now as I own a Nexus 4.

Look for an SBF corresponding to the android version you had before CM10 here: http://and-developers.com/sbf:milestone2
And download it from here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_milestone2/list.php
Follow steps here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032372 in order to restore your phone.
Instead of pressing @ in step 9, you need to press both volume buttons.
Hope it helps.

thank you!
but RSD Lite is not yet available for download.
and the steps that the guy is explaining cannot be followed, cause my phone is completely dead.
it is off, and when trying to turn it on, it show the Motorola logo for 2 seconds and than disappears. the display of the phone remains powered but nothing happesn in there.
p.s. i can still go to root menu, by pressing and holding X + power button, and than X + Volume UP.
But with the reset data (wiping data / factory reset) nothing happens.
so still in dakr

When your device is off press On/Off button, vol +/- and the camera button.
Then you come to the bootloader. With RSD you can flash it.

I did everything in the right way.
i went into but menu (as it is described)
everything was executed smoothly with rsd lite. (i executed this file: 332.0 MiB 93F0ED6430C13DA551F984701D8C8C72 Retail Italian MILS2_U6_2.4.24_SIGNED_USAMILESTONE2B1B8RTIT00E.0R_USXMILE20RTIT_P030_A010_HWp2a_Service1FF.sbf.gz - because i bought in italy my phone)
but the phone is not starting up. and is not giving any sign (before it was showing the motorola logo for 2 seconds)
i cannot make any start using different kind of hard buttons combinations, like : X + power button, Camera + volume+ + power button, with or without USB cable try)
There is no sign of life from my phone
?!?!?!?!?!
