Does anyone have an sbf for the R2D2 Edition? I got a little too tweaky.
Thanks!
Lol.. not yet.. next time boostrap and make a back up
See if you can recover with the r2d2 rom from mydroidworld
http://www.4shared.com/file/rePStgcF/VZW_24_Full_ROM.html
I've got a nandroid backup on my SD card I jsut can't seem to get back to the bootstrapper.
Try booting up and then pull your battery and then try booting up again. See if that puts you into bootstrap.

Thanks for the advice, I've been yanking the batt, pressing volume buttons and everything the only thing I can get to is the stock reset screen (android with !) and the boot loader. At this point I've probably done more harm than good resetting memory and clearing cache and stuff.
Oh, in case anyone wondered, the sbf fro the regular Droid 2 does not work on this bad boy. That'll teach me to mess wiht things I don;t know about. Looks like what I have is Bootloader and a copy of my backup from clockworkmod.... is there a way to build an sbf from your .img files?
Try powering down the phone then plugging it in and boot it up. That often loads clockwork revovery on mine.
Try going back into bootstrap recovery and pushing the bootstrap recovery button again. Then the reboot recovery button. That should work. I had the same thing happen to me and that worked.

Yeah, for whatever reason that often does cause my d2 to boot into cwm.. I think it replaces that weird battery startup thing, did anyone else get that when they first used their d2?

If your D2 won't boot all the way up (which is what it sounds like), you may be able to get into CW Recovery by one of the methods below:
1. This is the most reliable way I've found: Boot up and pull battery when the boot animation starts (after the M logo disappears). Then reinsert battery and start up...should go to CW Recovery then. Thought I spell it out just in case you hadn't tried it that way specifically.
2. Make sure there is no 'update.zip' file in the root of your SD card - again make sure NO 'update.zip' file. Then boot into stock recovery, choose the apply update.zip option, and after it aborts, pull the battery and boot up again.
3. Another set of steps that might work:
-Boot into stock recovery by holding X while powering up
-Hit the magnifying glass on the keyboard to open recovery menu
-Highlight reboot and hit "ok" on the keyboard
-When you get the "M" screen pull the battery
-Power back up and it will go to Clockwork recovery
Good luck on that....

What makes you say that...what did you try and what happened? What version of RSD Lite did you use, and what was the failure/results, etc. This is a pretty surprising thing to hear.
R2D2 and D2 are the same HW as far as anyone has seen from specs, etc., the 2.2.20 SBF not working seems odd.
Thanks.
I used RSDlite 4.7. the flash get tot he reboot point and then a bootloader error thaT said "bootloader err:A5,70,70,00,1f".

You're two versions behind...RSD Lite 4.8 and 4.9 are out. I'd suggest you get at least 4.8 and try again. I don't have the links, but should be google-able.
When you used 4.7 you added the RSD patch on top of RSD 4.7 after you installed it, right?
What does the phone do now when you boot it up? Just sit on M logo, get to boot animation, or ?

Yes I did drop the patch on. The phone goes straight to a black screen with white writing that says

##Updated code
I googled the error, I found this was the same error that DroidX users who OTA'd to their 2.2 update and then tried to SBF back to 2.1.
I have a new device now but I am keeping hold of the old one for the next couple days to try anything anyone ahs any ideas on. When I get to my other phoe I'll try a new rdslite.
If you don't have a linux computer I'm working on a livecd with adb and the sbf_flash script so that anybody with a computer can flash there phone in linux. I have one version so far but I'm trying to cut down the size because it's too big for a CD.

You mean you're going to try the newer RSD Lite on the new phone or the old phone?
Interesting that it's the same error the Droid X users were getting...that does change the game a little, doesn't it. Thanks for the additional information - a relevant "news" post is here:
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...-1-any-reason-after-official-upgrade-2-2.html
So it seems like VZW may have made the same change to the bootloader w/2.4.x on the D2 that they made w/2.2 on the DX.

I am running RDS lite 4.9 against my "old" device right now. I'll let you know how it works out. What is the current official SW version on the D2?
The VERY first time I tried this I did get a success message when it was done
I get an error now, Error sending RAM download to bootloader ... I am trying to attach pictures of the full message.
Actually, the mem_map blank and the bootloader messages are pretty common across all motorola phones, I've seen similar error messages on the older p2k (v300, razr, etc) type phones when you have a flash fail out at certain points. It's generally recoverable (in most cases, anyway) as long as you have a full flash (.sbf or .shx)

I believe I've also seen some comments that when flashing via a Windows box fails, that trying from a Linux setup can be more likely to be successful, but don't remember the details, so I may be garbling that info...

I Just bought a Droid X from my brother. I decided to root it and try to load a custom rom on it.
On to the problem...
I tried to install a rom onto the phone, but forgot to do a full wipe before I installed which caused the inability to boot past the Motorola logo.
Now here's the embarrassing part... I forgot to do a nand backup before I installed.
I've tried using RSD Lite, but it wont ever show the X. I know there's nothing wrong with the program because i connected my OG Droid to it and it showed right up.
I can boot into the stock recovery and bootloader. Is there anything that I can do to get this phone un-"bricked"
I don't really care if what I have to do will unroot my phone or take it back to its factory rom and settings or completely wipe everything. I just want it to work again. Everything else can either be redone or remade.
Thanks in advance
The only thing you can do is SBF. You can use RSD Lite or go the Linux way. (The Linux way is much easier and faster.)
You can Google for guides, and be sure that if you use RSD Lite that you have the correct drivers installed.

The correct drivers are installed, ive even un installed and reinstalled several times just to check. i'll be buying a linux powerd laptop from a friend here soon. Thanks for the tips
I hope you're not buying a Linux laptop especially for this; linux can be ran, without installation, through a cd or a flash drive.
There's even a Linux distribution floating around that is specifically for SBFing. Either way, good luck to you! =D

Make sure also that you are running RSD as an admin . Sometimes it will work without showing the device too
Yeah, I've been running as admin and in compatibility mode. O guess I can try to push a rom with it not showing. Could anyone link me to some details on how? or is it as simple as hook up in bootloader, select rom and hit start?
Also, I'm not buying the laptop specifically for this (the phone itself only cost me $20 with only the battery and battery cover missing). I intend on using it for the access to all of the developmental tools for Android. Thanks again to you both for the concern.
@infazzdar - What exactly is the "linux way" you spoke of in your first post? This seems like it may be the better way to do it

The Linux way involves using terminal and an sbf flash script to SBF. Also, you don't have to install any drivers, it fails less, and I believe that it's faster than using RSD Lite.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
I'm guessing there's a youtube video that can give me a step by step instructions to do that so I'll post back when I get the chance to do the SBF. Thanks a ton
Ok, somehow my rsdlite decided to recognise my phone now. its connecting, but when I choose the sbf, it says "chipset type 50 is not supported" in the status section
EDIT - YAY!! MY PHONE'S FIXED!!
Had to download a newer version of RSD lite and after that it worked like a charm. a HUUUUUGE thank you to you guys!!
Great to hear!
If this ever happens again and RSD lite just doesn't work you can always do the linux way like someone else said earlier. I can give you step by step instructions on that if you want, just send me a PM.

Yeah just use the distro! It's saved my butt plenty of times and only takes 5 minutes.
Hey guys, let me just preface this by saying that this was my first time trying to root, and that I am still very unfamiliar with many of the things involved in rooting. That said, here is my problem and almost exactly what I did to get there.
Alright, so I chose last night to be the night when I finally rooted my Droid 2. I had android 2.3.4 gingerbread .621 version when I started. I ran through the easy windows install instructions first on this page: well, since I can't post links, the page is http: //rootzwiki . com/topic/29930-new-root-method-for-stock-234-621622-found-droid2-r2d2/ (just remove the spaces in the web address). This didn't work because being the noob that I am, I didn't realize how to flash the .sbf file using rsd lite (now I know how to do that I guess, just a little too late).
So I said screw that, I will just run the cd. I downloaded the .iso, burned it to cd, booted to cd, and ran the program. The first time, I tried using the "Root Only" option. This ran, but didn't seem to work. So once that didn't work, I ran the first option that let you have the option to root (I have forgotten the exact wording). This worked and I got to the screen where I had to factory reset the phone. However, instead of being able to do this, I was stuck in bootloader with the error message "Err: A5,70,70,00,1F." So at this point I kind of realized that I was screwed so I tried to flash stock android 2.3.4 back to my phone using RSD Lite. I did this, and ended up changing the error message from the previously mentioned one to "Err:A5,70,70,00,00." So at this point I figured that I had a bad .sbf file and downloaded a new one and used RSD Lite to flash it. After I did this and it failed, I now am stuck in bootloader with a "Code Corrupt" message.
So basically, rooted or not, I would like to be able to use my phone again. I have seen in a couple places that the problem could be due to low battery, but I have switched to a fully charged one with no luck still.
This was my first attempt at rooting, and I am fully hating my first experience, but I'm already this far so I am willing to do the work to learn and get my phone back. If anyone can provide me with some pretty detailed instructions (remember, I'm a total noob and bricked my phone on something everyone else seems to have had no trouble with), that would be incredible.
Thank you in advance!
Sounds like your problem with rsdlite might be related to drivers. Here is a page written for the Droid 2 Global, you can read it for information and drivers.
The instructions and drivers would be the same, but the SBF file would be the one for the Droid 2
http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/SBF
Also, just to verify that your phone is the Droid 2, not the Droid 2 Global, correct?

Quick question though, when I am looking for an SBF to flash, do I want to flash on 2.3.4 like I had on, or a previous version, or does it matter?

Problem with Droid 2 on 2.3.4, is that once on that version, you can never go back to an earlier one.
That error message you mentioned first, sounds like the error message you get when trying to flash an older SBF.
Incidentally, where did you download the CD that you tried to flash from? Was it the one linked in the first post of the thread?

When you flash stock 2.3.4 with rsdlite, does rsdlite give you any error messages?
One of the most common errors with rsdlite is when it has the drivers for the regular bootloader mode, but not the drivers for the radio flash mode.
If this happens, you will get that code corrupt error message.
Also, what OS are you using? XP, Vista, 7, 64bit,

I did get an error message when trying to flash the stock 2.3.4 and it was something to do with RAM, but unfortunately this was 5AM this morning and I was beyond exhausted so I don't remember exactly.
I am using Windows 8 x64, but have access to XP, Vista, 7, and server if I need to.
I would definitely try XP if I were you, and if you have access to another USB cable, I would try that.
To use XP, install the motorola drivers first, then use rsdlite.
I have used RSDlite 5.6 and 5.7 on my D2G, and both have worked fine with XP

Alright, I will go ahead and get XP installed along with the drivers. Do you think that I should use a version previous to 2.3.4 then so that I have a better chance to root?
I am charging up my battery now using another phone, so I will start on it in a bit. Thank you again for answering all of my stupid questions and helping me out, I really appreciate you taking the time to do it.
It would be nice if you were able to go back to an earlier version, but that isn't an option. Once on 2.3.4, no going back.

Alright Update after flashing the .sbf file that was given in the previous post.
I used XP, running RSD Lite 5.6, with Motorola drivers installed. I charged a second battery up to around 70% or so to use during the process. I also changed USB cords from the previous one that I was using. I loaded the .sbf into RSD Lite, started it, and it ran flawlessly, skipping right over the RAM step in which it failed last night. Had to remove the battery and reinstall to do the manual reboot, and all of my phone settings were exactly as I had left them when I started. I had to dial *228 +1 to get the phone back on the network, but that was no problem.
So after all of this, I'm back to where I started last night haha. Special thanks to bhigham for all of the support and walking me through this today and also slogar25 for confirming that I had downloaded the right .sbf file.
So I guess my problem is solved...until I try and root it again!
glad your phone is working again.
If you want to try to root again, you might have better luck with a freshly wiped phone, but if you prefer not to risk it, I don't blame you.
It is possible a cord issue, but just guessing here.

Yep, I've noticed you have been following the cross post on this site for the methods that I tried last night when I really didn't have a clue what I was doing. Do you think that I should just try the CD method again? I mean worst case I would do the same thing I did last night, but now I know how to flash it back to the stock 2.3.4. I don't mind wiping my phone, but after it survived everything I did last night, I feel more attached to my data haha.
Also, how do I mark this post as solved?
Hi guys!
Just saw at SBf Developers that hey have uploaded some new updates there.
AS my comes from Brazil, i saw that fastboot-ghost_retbr-user-4.2.2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-LCX-35-36-release-keys-cid12-Brasil-BR.tar.gz is avaliable. But my question is: how can i flash this kinda if files since they arent RSD lite type and are fastboot ones? Do i need unlocked bootloader?
If someone can help me, i appreciate a lot!
AFAIK, RSD is only a front end for fastboot, so technically you can flash those files with fastboot, because they are stock and signed by motorola (no unlocked BL needed). You just have to know the partitions in wich you're gonna flash each file

I also didn't know what a JTAG flex is. After some googling, it seems that it is a sort of cable for flashing the image directly to the memory, internally, like in the photo below (not a Moto X).
So, I assume you don't have a JTAG flex connected, right? So it should be good to go

Try this maybe it'll work
1. Connect your Moto x, make sure developer options is enabled and tick usb debugging.
2. open command window on the folder including the new extracted firmware.
3. Type adb devices to confirm that Moto X is detected by your computer.
4. Type adb reboot bootloader, Moto X will reboot in fastboot mode.
5. Run the batch file flasfall.
wait until it finishes it might take sometime, and you'll see the flashing process on both computer and Moto X.

Is it OK to do this if the phone is rooted and modified with xposed modules?
Also, from what I can see, this is the version .35
So as it is older than .51, pwnmymoto should still work, right?

If this version includes the camera patch then it won't be rooted, but I flashed TMO 4.3 the test build it's working great but off course I lost root, and I'm sure in a few days it will be rooted again, so nothing to fear.
this is the OPs 3rd post about the same topic. One under q&a, one under dev that got moved to q&a, and now one under moto x general. Someone needs to teach him a lesson because he has gotten responses on all three threads. Really frustrating. Won't be getting anymore help from me...
Looks like fastboot-ghost_retbr-user-4.2.2-13.9.0Q2.X-116-LCX-35-36-release-keys-cid12-Brasil-BR.tar.gz have the same camera app as in ATT, TMO, Sprint after OTA (with improved camera). Camera app in new Brazilian firmware have version 3.0.211 - the same as in TMO rom with OTA installed.
Kind of straight forward
You just need to unpack the tgz container. Inside the folder there is a bunch of files.
I'm my case since I'm using OSX I just ran flashall.sh and done. There is a flashall.bat that I believe is designed to work with windows.
Put your phone in bootloader mode, connect the cable, go to folder the files lies and run the command. In about 5 minutes it is done. :good:
Have anyone tried it? I was trying to wait for the official OTA update, but it's taking too long. I need to know if it's safe.
Oh, and what if I use other flashboot file like from Verizon instead of the brazilian retail one? Is there any problem?

rodrigorox,
I have called motorola on friday and it seems we will be getting the update in the next week or so...
I'd hold on on flashing it if all you look for is the OTA that US got.
So I'm not familiar with Motorola devices. My wife has a Razr M on System Version 98.18.78.XT907.Verizon.en.US. An update recently came out for it and she is trying to update to it, but the update keeps failing (Android with red exclamation mark). Her phone doesn't have the Super User app on it, but it does have Titanium Backup, which says it has root access, so I'm assuming some system apps got removed. On my HTC devices I would normally run the RUU for them to reset them completely and then take the update, however I can't seem to find an RUU for the Razr M. Does this not exist? Any suggestions on how to get the OTA for her?
Sorry, I can't seem to find any info on this. The phone seems to be a dead end phone...

Option1
Use the tibu on her phone to restore all frozen sys apps.
Voodoo to hide root.
Take ota.
2)
Restore to stock, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45548210&postcount=3
Go my restore & follow the sad smiley to what to do. It was written to restore ...78
House of moto link: may be easier to jump to ...94 & keep your data. Forget the ota
Ok?
Thanks man. I'll give option 2 a try as the apps are gone and there is no backup
Ok, so I can't get RSD to recognize the phone. The phone shows up in the device manager under adb. However it does not have the OK to Program message in the fastboot menu. So I can't really proceed to flash the phone using RSD. Suggestions?

Cable? Need orig one.
Using both. Odd.
Anyone have any further feedback or help on this issue. I'm at the point where we are gonna throw her phone in the trash if we can't fix it, as she's having issues with it now and I can't really do anything with it.
Try a different USB port? Mine only works in 1 of the 3 on my laptop for some reason.
