[Q] code corrupt..bricked??

OK so I was using the RSD 4.7 w/patch. I was trying again since it failed last time. I knocked the usb cable out now. It reads "code corrupt" I am trying one last time to see if the sbf file goes through. Anyone get any ideas?

Doesn't sound good. If the sbf procedure is interrupted before it finishes then only the manufacturer can fix it.

ok i had the same situation but i unbricked my phone.
initially i borked my services.jar file and got endless bootloop.
so i then attempt the sbf on win7 64bit.
1st attempt says it fails on the uploading RAM to bootloader.
phone reboots but is still in bootloop.
2nd attempt says failed at same part so i unplug the phone and im stuck with
code corrupt. At this point pressing power makes the phone go straight to the bootloader with code corrupt message.
Ok so i call verizon and ask if they got any Droid x in stock lol. They of course tell me nope so i try again but this time i switch to a different computer using
Win XP 32bit. i download rsdlite with patch , drivers and of course the sbf file.
3rd attempt i get through phone is back to working order, and the /data partition is untouched so all my apps are still intact.
just had to re-root the phone.
close call i must say but at least i know it does work now. Think its the 64 bit OS
that messed it up.
the only other thing i noticed is that when i installed rsdlite on winxp and started it up my firewall asked for permission to unblock rsd from the net.
when i installed on my win7 64 bit the firewall nvr asked for this permission so im guessing the program contacts outside sources for something?
only thing i can think of for the intial failure 64bit or firewall.
hope this helps anyone else having problems

Try downloading a later version of RSD Lite, such as 4.8. Or even better, use Linux.
But the 'code corrupt' issue is common and you need only SBF to fix it.

dont worry about it. Ive had this show up on my bootloader plenty of times.
What u wanna do is .sbf back to a working copy of .340 (VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.sbf) and start over again

There is also a bootable linux iso image available for download. Fully automated and totally painless way to SBF back to Froyo 2.3.340.

use the linux sbf solution.
after a failed windows flash for any reason i resort to linux. but thats just me and i have never had a bad flash using linux....ever. i have brought many dead devices back to life
read and re-read the instructions. then proceed at you own risk.
Droid X SBF with Linux

+1 on linux.
It takes way more time to get RSD working on Win7 than when I use XP. For some reason the drivers just don't seem as robust.

http://www.multiupload.com/ZUK28IEYAU
download this linux based disc image.... burn the iso with a program such as nero or even the windows image burning software
boot from cd.... all you need to do is start your phone up in bootloader already hooked up to your computer and run this disk

Just wanted to +1 the Linux boot disc suggestions. When you get the CODE CORRUPT error message it means the SBF flash failed in some way. The linux method should get you up and running again. It's never failed for me.

No Megaupload
I am looking for solutions to sbf'ing my phone and I keep running into links to download from megaupload...wait...I think it just worked. I updated to the most recent rsd lite and it worked while I was writing this. I was going to try the method above, which has a link to megaupload, but I guess I don't need to.
I did find the sbf files here: It won't let me post a sites.google.com/site/motosbf/
I had to do a lot of digging to find that. Is there somewhere else that people are putting files like these and files like the Linux one mentioned above?

Google "1kds Droid x" it should turn up everything you need.

I posted a step by step method with links (including .621 sbf) here
obviously, you don't want to sbf to .621 unless you already took the OTA....

Anyone around that used this thread?
My screen says 'service required, code corrupt'. RSD does not show the phone, it may not be able to get into fastboot. I am using Win 7 64 bit and I see some people say they had trouble with that? Should I try on a fresh win 7 32 bit?
Thanks

There is no fastboot. Just bootloader.
sd_shadow posted an in depth on how to sbf your phone and gain root. Go read it. Download the files. Make a boot disc/usb. And do it.
There is no reason to use RSD with the ezsbf method. You can do whatever you want. But the ezsbf/root method is the easiest even if it looks difficult.

I have also had trouble with Windows 7 64 bit. It was much easier when I went back to my old XP machine. It also works really well on Linux, I didn't even have to worry about drivers.

I can't use any more thanks today (reached the limit) but thanks!
I'm going to put 32 bit windows on a spare partition just to be sure.

phone boots straight into bootloader and will not flash

I recently tried to upgrade to the new OTA gingerbread and it said that it installed okay, but after I reboot the phone it went straight to the bootloader with these errors: bootloader 30.04 err: a5,69,35,00,27. I then tried SBFing back to VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01, but then it got through 97% of the flashing and got this error:: interface BP: loading RAM Downloader for Bootloader
failed flashing process. failed flashing process. interface BP: Error sending RAM Download for bootloader.
I have tried reinstalling the moto drivers with no luck. And it is also not charging. now when it boots into the bootloader it is flashing "battery low, cannot program" I searched all over the Internet and tried all of the recommended solutions like pulling the battery for a few minutes, I tried flashing four or five times, tried using older sbf, all with no luck. I would appreciate the help, thanks

You are going to need to charge your battery before you can sbf again. You might want to redownload the sbf again. If you go to droidxforums there is a linux distro that you download and burn as an iso to a cd that is really easy to run. First get your battery above 80 percent before you flash again. When I get to my computer I willingly post the link.

update: here is the link for the linux distro......http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/d...-solution-your-windows-rsd-lite-problems.html

It sounds like you are missing a driver that installs towards the end of the flash. Sorry I can't post the link, but you can google moto driver download. It's the 4.90 drivers.

When you get your battery charged SBF again, when it fails do the "SYSTEM" only SBF and it will work. I believe the error (err: a5,69,35,00,27) you are getting has to do with the stock GB recovery. I had that problem but I was still able to boot into CWR and install a recovery patch by TBH. Let me know if this works for you.

I was wondering if there was a resolution to this issue. I am getting the exact same issue, Err:A5,69,35,00,27 and I have done everything but stand on my head. Previous to reading bigshotrob22's post, I had re-SBF'd from multiple computers, using different SBF versions, driver versions, and RSD Lite versions. All resulted in getting the darn ERR:A5,69,35,00,27.
The only way I ever got anything different was to flash 1.13.604 and then I got an error message Err:A5,70,70,00,1F.
Again, I goto a new version and I go right back to original error though.
I tried bigshotrob22's suggestion and downloaded the system and full sbf files for 340. I flashed the full, got error... Then flashed system, still get error.
I am using RSD Lite 5.4 on Vista 32 with UAC disabled (full admin mode), latest Moto drivers as of this post. Again, I have tried all of the versions of bootable linux SBF's as well. All yield the same result.
Wife's phone, she is very unhappy with me, and if I don't get her back up and running, I guess I will be dropping $500 on a new phone, as she is still under contract. If Mama ain't happy, I sure ain't getting any! LOL!

You could try taking it to a VZ store and telling them that this happened after the OTA. Seems to me that this is their fault and they should fix it.

It seems to try to 'Switch phone to BP Pass through mode' at 93%... fails to do so, and times out. Anyone else had this happen?
I can still start the phone, get into the OS, it says 1.2.6...so I thought maybe it did work...however, when i then try to update after rooting, the update fails to install. Thoughts?!?! Thanks!

try flashing to .83 maybe where you unlocked bl or on a different ota?

I got my phone with 1.8.3 on it and was trying to downgrade to 1.2.6. The downgrade failed, however, the phone does start, and it does say 1.2.6 and I can root...I just can't perform system update, as the install fails.
You are saying I should root, and then go to 1.8.3 via RSD Lite, and not through the system update?
Also, I have not unlocked the bootloader yet, is that needed for this? I thought it was only needed for CWM?

If the ota updates aren't working I would use rsd. You do not need an unlocked bootloader I was asking if u have one cause it could have affected the phone
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App

If i root in 1.2.6, then use rsd to update to 1.8.3, wont superuser be gone, and won't I lose root?
Will the afterupdate.bat in gladroot still work if i use rsd to update and not ota?

When I get home, I'm going to try to flash 1.2.6 again, using some of the tips and tricks for flashing SBFs. Shorten the name, put it in C:, run RSD as admin, and update to v5.3.1 (was using v5)
Hopefully this will stop the RSD error

Try rebooting your computer, and reinstall drivers from Motorola.
If that fails use another computer.

Yes! Thanks to everyone for their help! I updated RSD Lite, and switched computers, and it flashed perfectly now. I have since unlocked the bootloader, went to 1.83, and got root. Now to pick what rom i want, any suggestions?

I suggest deleting RSD. Now that you have the unlocked bootloader using it will brick your phone. I unlocked mine and have not tried any gingerbread roms yet. I am still running 183 with ginger blur. Everything works great on it, and I want to let the new roms develop for a while and work out the kinks before I jump in. Just an option.

No. I've unlocked my bootloader and I've successfully flashed the 1.8.3 SBF multiple times with no issues.
If you flash the HKTW Gingerbread or 4.5.91 through fastboot, you won't have to worry about bricking your device.

[Q] My A500 Bricked itself...literally...

Hi guys,
I'm not new to the xda forum, used it for ages for bits of info and things and as a result successfully rooted an Orange Barcelona and an Alcatel One, but the problem I have has made me sign up to ask
My A500 was happily playing some music in my bedroom while I was in the bath, when I came out it had switched itself off. Odd I thought, so I tried to turn it on and it got stuck with the flashing android logo. Again odd, so I attempted a reset, same thing, tried a factory rest and got a bootloader error, poo I thought, must have done some wierd update and broke its bootloader.
So starts an ENTIRE day of searching the xda forum looking for a way to unbrick the thing.
So first thing, do I have APX mode - yes.
Do I have an SBK and UUID - no, thats a problem.
So, i've been through ALL these threads, meticulously...

Blackthunders flash tool causes the tab to disconnect and doesn't flash.
V8-UNL-ICS-HC-bootloader-MULTI-cwm generates an error (usb write fail) and causes the tab to disconnect.
I've determined that SBCALC is not generating the correct SBK from the UUID generated by eppeP's apx code. I compiled it several times on a 32bit Ubuntu 13.04 system and again on an 64bit Ubuntu 13.04 system altering this line of code to reflect the relevent OS
printf("uid: %#016lx\n", *(uint64_t*)data);
In one of the threads i found eppeP had offered three versions. The 32bit lines generated UUID's that were too long, the 64bit line generated the correct length but caused the flash tools to fail. I've tried omitting the preceding 0x SBKCalc says check CPUID or just leaving off the 0, that gives me an SBK but still causes the tools to fail, so again, I think it isn;t generating the correct SBK or the apx tool by eppeP isn't retrieving the correct CPUID.
Throughout the whole day I managed to get the tab to factory reset ONCE, got it to boot, got as far as entering my WIFI PSK then it crashed and went back to 'i'm not going to boot so nah nah' mode.
So status is, tab powers and hangs with the Acer logo, and still has APX mode available.
What, if anything, can any of you wonderful people offer as a next step short of calling Acer Monday and paying silly amounts of money for them to unbrick it. (Amusing anecdote, this is my second A500, it was a replacement for a unit I sent in for repair which came back bricked BY ACER.....)
I'm tearing my hair out now, so help greatly appreciated.

Wee update,
Successfully got a working CPUID and SBK by building eppeP's Visual Studio project, had to update it to VC++2012 libraries as I have Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate through my university.
Trying to flash now, so far I've got a wee message saying nvflash started and nothing else, been sat for a good 2 minutes, is it supposed to go faster?

Do u have an apx device listed in device manager or safely remove Hardware icon???
I'd say you'll need to d/ babsector.rar to reset yr partitions. Usually its the only thing that works when yr tab has spontaneously bricked itself. You can get the file and instructions from post #2 of the root guide n my sig...probably the only thread u never posted above
good luck

All good with device manager, device is seen ok.
RIght, with BabSector, I get failure to read/write mass storage (code: 9) nverror: 0x8 (0x19000008).
I believe this indicates a physical problem with the internal sdcard requiring a motherboard replacement.
Well, that sucks but I've had this two years so I guess it's had a fairly decent run

I got around this very same problem with Timmy Deans solution. Because of the bad blocks of memory, this was the only way I was able to solve. I don't remember which bat file I used. There were two, depending on whether you were doing single or dual partition. But the limitation was that BCT partition that was being format was larger than available. Once I used his script it worked and my brick A500 is still working well today.

EDIT: @Kess_Tacy
could try contacting acer...someone else just recently had some joy with them. They paid shipping both ways and repaired for free!! Worth a shot

Can't boot to system or flash rom. E:footer is wrong E: signature failed

Hello,
I'm looking for help. I wish I could ask on the development page, but I don't have access to do so because of my low post count.
I've had a problem with my HTC Bolt screen. I made a video of the problem and put it on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eR5NFDcnvU
I thought it may be a problem with the firmware/stock rom that is loaded with bloatware, so I decided to tinker with rooting, etc...
First thing I did was gain root using this method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/bolt/how-to/root-supersu-v2-78-sr5-s-off-sunshine-t3513048
Then I downloaded and ran Sunshing to get S-off.
I then tried to install a new Rom, but it wouldn't install, giving the " E:footer is wrong .. E: signature failed" on the android recover.
The phone on my screen continued to glitch, so I tried to go back to stock using the RUU as described here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/bo...t-htc-bolt-1-17-651-11-updated-t3502778/page4
but the process hung when trying to install a new rom using the RUU . I assume this happens because of the same "E:footer is wrong .. E: signature failed" problem when I try to flash a ROM.
Please help. I can't boot up into the system and am new to this. Also, if you can point my problem to the developers, that would be great.
recovery screen shows this:
*** Software status: Official ***
*** Unlocked ***
*** S-Off ***
This looks good to me to give me access to flashing, but the error keeps getting in the way.
Thanks,
Marc

what recovery are you using?
when you reboot to download mode and use fastboot, type fastboot devices. Does the serial number and fastboot show up?
what method are you using to RUU?

I tried all of the recoveries I could find, but I guess most were close to stock . I still can't figure out why I couldn't install rom from SD card.
UPDATE: I was able to reflash with RUU exe from my computer. Problem ended up being available disk space on C: drive. The RUU .exe needed about 7 gb free to run all the way through. First try I only had 2gb, which wasn't enough and caused. Exe to hang.
I just updated to latest software, 22 and screen problem still happening. Someone else commented that they have had the same problem on two different Bolts. Guess there are some manufacturing or software issues with the bolt, so be ready for screen issues. Hopefully it is software or firmware rather than hardware.
After running RUU, I assume I'm stock, but how do I lock and get s-on again?

Is the screen always black, or intermitting?
in download mode
fastboot oem lock( it will say relocked and not Locked though)

OK, thanks. Maybe some chmod can solve it. Sprint is charging since it is more than 20 days old. Going to HTC instead since under their warranty.
The problem is intermittent, but is getting worse with each hour. Others are having the same issue.

I've been seeing the same issue with the display not waking since the .22 update...it's very intermittent on mine though, maybe 10% of the time...I haven't been able to narrow it down.
did u flash twrp recovery before flashing a ROM?

Thought I replied to this, but guess not. I didn't flash twrp. I thought that was only available through app, where one touch operations could be performed. I previously couldn't boot into system.

no, twrp is best installed by flashing it in download mode, u cannot flash a ROM via stock recovery, only custom recovery(twrp)...https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/?id=18340#downloads

Thanks, twrp did the trick. But with 3 different roms, I'm still having screen blackout issues. Going to need help getting back to locked and s on after RUU. Guess I'll start a new thread for that.
