Am stuck on The Rubix Logo. I was on Rubix 1.89 then I was messing around w/phone a lil bit so I decided to load the stock rom back. It loaded up fine. I attempted to load Rubix 1.93 and decided not to wipe (Stupid mistake) and now am stuck on Rubix boot loop. Can someone assist me in loading into Recovery when DX is powered off please. I hope no one mentions SBF. I have no clue how to even begin that process
Been in a similar situation. I assume we're talking about getting into clockwork recovery?
If that's the case, your only solution is an sbf if it isn't kicking you into clockwork already.
Getting into stock recovery is achieved by holding down the home and power buttons from power off.
SBFing is done from the bootloader. that is entered from power off by holding down power, volume down, and the camera button.
You will need the 2.2 sbf file and RSD lite 4.8 on your windows machine in order to perform sbf.
Yes You assumed right about CW, I knew it wouldn't be long before I Fd this up. I already have RSd lite 4.8(I think...have to double check). Where can I get this SBF 2.2 file from? I've looked all over but most links are dead This really Sucks..
Couldn't I just load the Leaked 2.3.320 file instead of the 2.3.15, since I wanted to do the upgrade anyway? or is it just not that Easy?
The 2.3.320 is just a system sbf. I think there were kernel changes that went with that you'll have to have. Standby for PM.
im in need of that 2.3.320 too i have a sitting brick that will not do recovery but can flash with a sbf
Not sure what your situation is but I posted some help over at DF as well and my issue has been resolved by Seph and these instructions I followed. Hope it works for you as well and fyi here's link(http://www.droidforums.net/forum/drod2169-x/99143-rubix-focused-1-8-9-1-9-3-a-34.html#post1021218)
First thing to try, is to wipe data and cache from the android recovery (NOT clockwork recovery.. as.. most liklely you can't get to clockwork recovery.
Easiest way:
--Battery Pull
--When you put the battery back in, hold down the home button the phone.
--As it powers up, let go of the home button when you see the M logo.
--It should go into android recovery. When you see the little droid with the ! in a triangle, hit the search button.
--From the menu, wipe data and cache, then reboot.. it should take you into Focused...
When you get back in.. the FIRST thing I suggest, is to reload 1.8.9.. as it sounds like you do not have the TBH leak (If you don't have it, you probably don't want it)...
PLEASE read the first post, that talks about the differences between 1.8.9, and 1.9.3...
Since you will have already wiped data and cache, you shouldn't need to when loading 1.8.9.. if you have troubles with loading it, just wipe data/cache again...
I wish I had come here first!!!! Been trying to get ROM Manager to work and finally got all excited because it seemed as though it had finally taken, well, now I am stuck in a the Rubix boot loop as well. I've wiped my cache as mentioned about but not data yet. My only option for that is to wipe data is to wipe data/ factory reset. Is it safe to do that since I am rooted? I was running OTA 2.2 rooted.
I am in sbf with rsd lite and can not get it to do anything after loading the file for sbf on my X. It recognizes it but the radio button for the start will not do anything.

I have been running on stock 2.2 for a week or so now (SBF'd and was running with no issues)...not rooted or modified in any way. I did the OTA update for 2.3 and now my phone boots to the droid boot animation, and hangs. The boot animation completely freezes up, and the phone is unresponsive. Tried SBFing the 2.3 over and according to RSD that was completed successfully...but got the same thing on startup.
I got my phone the week it came out and have SBF'd many times, had rooted, ran all sorts of roms (as long as your counting different versions)...and of all things...an OTA update bricked it. Awesome.
I'll be heading to my local Verizon store in a few hours. Just thought I'd let you guys know.
That sucks Let us know how it goes at the store
With all the bootloader lockdown crap motorola put on these phones its just a matter of time before their own updates cause problems... anything strong enough to keep out hackers is also strong enough to cause serious problems when legit updates mess up...
Boot into stock recovery (power and hold X, then press the search key at the ! In the triangle)
Wipe data and cache
Reboot

^+1 this. Quite often when restoring the phone via an SBF it results in a bootloop which is corrected by performing a cache and data wipe through the stock recovery on the phone. It seems this can happen because the SBF doesn't actually wipe or replace /data and /cache
Another WIN for karnovaran!

Wow. Thanks! Worked like a charm.
Anybody that might have my same issue after installing the OTA, follow above steps, and wipe data in the stock recovery. My phone booted right up afterwards.
Thanks guy!

Can I close this???
I'm sure I'm not the only one, or maybe I am????
Last night, I tried installing 2.3.320, but ended up looping at the eye. I forgot to do a full wipe before I started the install. Anyway, I decided to try using an SBF to restore, but I used the wrong one. Bootloader now loads with these messages, "Err:A5,70,70,00,1F" "MEM_MAP Blank" "Service Req’d".
I redid the install for 2.3.320 but still boot loops, is there anyway to clear the user data in case this is the issue?
Check you bootloader first if it says 30.03 use the 2.3.15 SBF if it says 30.04 then use the 2.3.20 SBF from Team black hat

When it loops:
Remove the battery
Put it back
Boot into normal recovery (hold volume down and home button while powering up)
Choose wipe data/factory reset
Reboot after your finish and you should be good.
Exactly what the title says, I need to do an exchange for a blown earpiece speaker, but the guy said I need to unroot first, otherwise his store will get a 'chargeback' (nice guy imo)
Can somebody provide me with instructions?
Are you aware how to sbf your phone? Best way to get rid of everything in my opinion
I looked up the files for SBF, but not sure if i have the right ones for .340
kinda stuck atm... got a few files i downloaded, not sure where to go from here
just used RSD LITE and the latest SBF to reload my phone.. and i still have root and clockwork.. lol
You must not have done it properly. Before you flash your phone, in clockword mod makes sure to do a factory reset and also wipe cache. You can find the sbf from mydroidworld

Loading the SBF by itself will not unroot your phone. After that process completes, power off the phone and enter Motorola's recovery by holding Home while turning the phone. Hold Home + Power until the Motorola logo comes up, then release Power and keep holding Home. Once you get a folder icon with an "!". Press the Search button, and do a factory reset/format cache. Once the phone comes back up, all of your data, and more importantly the root, will be gone.
-Edited to correct the key combination needed-
I am pretty certain the SBF files for .320 and the .340 Patch are already rooted.
Factory reset won't take that away.
I Don't think a 'True' SBF for .340 has been released (and likely won't be).

The files released by TBH are not rooted. I've used them several times, and I always had to run z4root to regain root access afterwards.
I got this phone from eBay as "stuck in M" and thought I might give it a try to SBF it back to stock. So I tried SBFing to 4.5.605 and it works great but after the first reboot, it boots straight to stock recovery.
I read some threads online and some mention to wipe data/cache. I do that and reboot and it still keeps going back to recovery no matter what. I have complete access to the phone with RSD Lite but I cannot get it to boot to the OS. It just keeps booting back to stock recovery.
I would really appreciate some help here. It would be great if I can get this phone working again. Am I doing something wrong? Something specific about the Droid X I'm not aware of?

sounds like its bricked it is possible that your sbf file is slightly corrupted or its the wrong one altogether try redownloading the sbf file or try .602 sbf dont reboot it if you can help it root it and put a different rom on it may just solve your trouble the linux method of sbf is more sound look into that instead of rsdlite if you have to use rsdlite make sure its is the newest leaked version of the program. Always make sure the program completes to the end and it says passed. pull the battery afterwards and do a factory restore hard reset should be good to go
Hey guys. I'm trying to fix my friends Defy for him. I've rooted my old Evo 4g, my wifes samsung transform, and her motorola Photon Q so I'm pretty familiar with rooting. But I'm having a problem with his Defy. Here's the skinny:
So his phone froze up on him. And after pulling the battery, it now won't boot. So I booted into recovery, and tried a factory reset. The factory reset won't complete. The little loading bars that go across the screen just keep going forever (I let them go for 3 hours straight one day). And I still can't get the phone to boot. So I figure, no big deal, i'll just root and install custom recovery. So I looked into rooting methods for the Defy, and they all seem to involve booting the phone. Does anyone have any ideas? Or know of a way to reflash the original recovery? I'm assuming the problem is the recovery. Thanks in advance for any help. And my buddy thanks you too.
You can use RSD to flash it with stock rom of your region. Do not flash any gingerbread rom if the phone never had gingerbread(you will have downgrade issues).
I don't want a Tapatalk sig!
never heard of rsd. Just looking into it. It seems people are saying I would need to wipe cash and data first? Problem is when I attempt to wipe cache it just goes on forever never finishes.
Any Luck M8

was just reading your post and was wondering if you have had any luck with your buddy's Defy ???
Flashing a fresh .sbf using RSDlite should fix the recovery problems, as it will overwrite it with a fresh one. The /system partition will be rewritten, also. After flashing, the phone might boot to the system already, but if not, just enter recovery and do a factory reset, now it should finish fine and boot fine, as well. (it doesn't matter if you do a factory reset before or after the flash)
Latest RSD Lite I've found is v6.1.4. You will also possibly need drivers, google for - "Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation_5.9.0"
Keep us posted! Good luck
