Help please

hello everyone i am in big trouble,
I was making a custom rom for my home use and i changed some icons. I also accidentally deleted my launcher2.apk file so i have no way of getting to any apps from the homescreen and it just shows a black screen with a status bar on my homescreen. There is nothing i can do and since i wiped by defealt it dosen't have USB debugging on and no service so i can't get a txt and go to the messaging app and then somewhere from there. So i am freaking stuck on a black screen. the lock screen is fine but i also can't get to the bootstrap recovery. I am thinking of doing a a wipe using RSD lite but i tried that a while ago on my dell and it didn't work (a few weeks ago). it would get to 99% and then just stop and say failed. If i get it bricked I would be fine because I could go into verizon and say that my phone just stopped booting on after using it for a while and the battery ran out or something like that but right now it still boots up. What can i do?!!?!?!?!? i desperatley need my phone or my parents are going to murder me (but i guess a new phone would be a good christmass present even though it would be a huge bummer not to have a smartphone and just have a little normal slider phone or something like that). I am supposed to be pretty good with tech stuff since i made roms before except right now i'm stumped since rsd lite usually dosen't work.
thanks,
ljbaumer

If you do SBF then follow these instructions to the letter (I just SBF'd my Droid2 last night):
Get the 2.3.20 SBF file
Get RSDLite 4.8 or 4.9
Install the latest Motorola drivers
Start RSDLite and select the SBF file
Turn on your phone while holding the up key on the keyboard. This should boot up into a screen with just some text
Connect your phone to your computer
Start the SBF
Eventually RSDLite will tell you to manually power up your phone. Your phone should be in a boot loop at the Droid eye logo at this point
Disconnect your phone and pull the battery
Wait 30 seconds or so and put the battery back in. Turn on the phone while holding up on the keyboard
Connect the phone to your computer. RSDLite should say 'SUCCESS' at this point
Disconnect your phone and turn it off
Turn your phone back on while holding the 'X' key on the keyboard
When you get the Android dude with an exclamation point in a triangle push the search key (magnifying glass) on the keyboard
Select both 'Clear cache' and 'Clear data' on from the list. Clearing the data might take a minute or two so just sit tight
Reboot the phone. It might take a few minutes to boot back into stock Blur. You'll get the account setup screen when it's done

thanks for the fast reply. downloading the stuff right now and going to try in 30 minutes once the download is done. the sbf is VRZ_A955_2.3.20.zip right?

Yup. It should contain a file named VRZ_A955_2.3.20_1FF_01.sbf that's 434MB.

Just wondering, how would I sbf my Droid 2 on a MacBook. I just ditched Windows and got a new MacBook Pro and I am trying to figure it out.

I was trying to figure out the same thing but I just gave up so I am moving the files over to my 7 year old dell inspiron 6000 and hoping it will work!

flashing right now..... scared out of my wits.... plzzzz work.....
status: interface Ap-OS: flashing code group 39 executed: 27%
doing some crazy stuff.... this is pretty cool.

If you turn it on while holding "dolume down" do you get the android+! screen? Some go into recovery if you touch the bottom right corner of the screen, but on some you have to hold volume up + down together. I had this problem today!
If you actually can't get to the screen with the android+! then I don't know what else you could do :-(

I really can not, no way to go to the screen with the robot android! he goes right on the logo motorola M!
can it be hardware problem?

1) Did you use the correct flasher? rsd4.9 with motorola driver installed properly.
2) If (1) not working, you could use motorola own service update from their site.

but no results!

don't worry about it, dude.
maybe you can try the way followed:
1.power off your defy;
2.remove the battery from the phone;
3.plug the usb cable into the phone without battery;
4.open RSD and chose one of the roms your listed, but 3.4.2-177-005 NORDIC prefered,
5.take the battery into your phone, now your can see the "connected" on RSD;
6.click the "start" button to flash;
7.wait the phone reboot completely, usually it'll reboot.
if not reboot, remove and on your battery, power on your phone, then press the "volume - and power" botton together, you can enter the robot screen, press volume up and down botton together, usually you can enter the recovery, then chose wipe 3 and 4, totally you can save your defy~~

Be sure to have enough battery while flashing..

Get the phone into bootloader (hold volume down when switch on) and flash an SBF like one from the list you've attached using RSD lite. Surely you have used RSD Lite before?

It seems you have the same issue I have on my Defy as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1095444
I’m also unable to get into recovery or get to the Android Robot screen using “Power + Volume Down”. Hopefully we will be able to figure it out and get this issue fixed.

This same friend, I have the same problem, is this a hardware problem? I move the roms but not normal
Vol I login recovery - + Power key

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966537
Try flashing nordic, if fails arabic, if fails, 2.3.3, if fails probably corrupt nand broken hardware.
Before and after every flash always try to access recovery (volume down) and WIPE. reboot and wait crossing fingers, if it fails to boot flash next sbf, try to go recovery + wipe; reboot, cross more fingers; if fails to boot try next sbf and repeat.
The reason for this is that you can flash a lower version but it wont boot, so you have to flash a higher and higher version until you get one that works.

I tried to help someone with this problem before to no avail!
Everyone who is saying just wipe in recovery, or just flash with RSD blah blah blah, need to understand that he CAN NOT access recovery and HE HAS flashed multiple roms using RSD 4.9, read the OP. Im convinced this is physical hardware failure or similar. We all know the drill to recover our precious defy's in the event of semi-brick ie: bootloop or corrupt code. However this is more than a semi-brick. We are talking about successful flashing and still no access to recovery and infinite M logo!
I walked more than one person with this problem through every known procedure to bring these phones back. Even using sbf_flash for linux doesn't work as this is the only way I flash anymore I don't bother with RSD anymore. The thing is it DOES FLASH SUCCESSFULLY just no recovery or boot!

OMG Exactly!!!! i have same problem and nobody seems to be able to tell me what to do, they keep saying same thing about trying various SBF's and Vol down + power method. No matter what SBF file I successfully flash with, i cannot get into boot recovery mode.

I have heard before from desperate users that they were able to revive their phone by flashing a full 2.3.4 sbf. This however comes with downsides of not being able to downgrade to froyo by flashing ANY froyo sbf's. There is a way to downgrade back to froyo but its a dirty method. Even after downgrade you can't just flash a sbf, you will always need to restore nandroid and flash fixed sbf

[Q]

I got a droid x with clockwork mod recovery and i could not activate it so i deleted the system file on the phone. It is now back to android recovery but will not go past the Motorola symbol when i try to turn it on. I tryed a factory reset and it didnt work. What do i have to do to make the phone go past the Motorola symbol?

Sounds like it's time for an SBF to me.

[Q] Help Droid2 stuck at bootloader 2.37 no SBF no recovery :(

So as my wife tells it she received a text message then the phone shutdown and went to the bootloader screen. She was running Liberty2 v3? up until now.
The phone boots to the bootloader showing:
Boot Loader
D2.37
err:A5,69,55,00,27
Ready to program
USB
The standard bootloader schpeal.
Unfortunately I can't do anything to get beyond this. I have tried SBF to 2.3.20 and 2.3.4 both come back to the same screen. Cannot access recovery by holding X or the down volume button.
On boot the phone shows the Red Moto "M" logo then fails to the boot loader.
HALP!

You don't see the M logo when you go into boot loader. Hold the up arrow on the keyboard as you power on. Boot loader will be the first screen that you come to.

Don't know what to tell ya. I can't get into recovery no matter what keys I press. I get the "M" logo then it fails into the boot loader with the above error.

I can ONLY get to the bootloader no matter what I do. No SBF files seem to work and I cannot get to recovery to try and wipe data/cache to fix the bootloop. Basically I'm stuck at the bootloader and can't do anything to get past it.

I'm pretty much in the same situation.
Wish someone with better knowledge than I can pipe in.
Been stuck like this going on 2 weeks now.
There has to be an .sbf to flash that'll work.

Yeah, today I'm in search of a DInc2 to replace it. Luckily I do have a Droid1 that uses the same battery so I can charge it and keep trying various things to get it working. Just sad that a phone that was perfectly good one second is toast in minutes. She could have at least dropped it and had it die that way...

Bricked D2
bump. D2 Bricked. Saw there was a sbf for D2 global, but those of us with bricked D2 seem to be out of luck for now. Oh well, I guess i don't need a phone for a while. . .

Did you guys take the newest Verizon Over the Air updates?

**SOLVED** [Q] My Droid Razr M won't get past the droid eye on boot up

I apologize already if this has already been posted before, I couldn't see one that had my issues so I'm making this thread.
OK, so here is my problem and everything that I can think of that I've done to my phone.
Today I tried to restart my phone as it was getting a bit sluggish. When I did it started booting fine then the animation sound stopped while the droid eye was being put together. Now my phone will not pass the droid eye during the boot phase. I press the power and both volume buttons and after a few seconds it starts itself back up again. I do the power button and down volume buttons and it still does the same thing. I've even performed the factory reset twice and it still won't help.... And no matter what I do it keeps booting itself back up on its own.
What I've done to my phone:
I am rooted but never got the boot loader unlocked since i waited too long and the last update wouldn't allow the boot loader unlock methods anymore. I have used titanium backup app to delete some system apps for example the Verizon football one, slacker radio, and any of those useless apps that I never use. I haven't deleted anything lately and have restarted my phone many times since. I have been delaying the recent update hitting no or not now, whatever it says. I thought that I said no today on the system update as well. Even then my phone was working before I restarted it.
PLEASE I hope that there is something that I can do to fix my phone because I'm forced to use my LG Vortex again and my upgrade isn't for another year..... I don't want to buy a new one since this phone has been great and I'm almost certain that if there was a way to reinstal or flash the droid razr m OS that that would fix my issues.
Thanks in advance for your input and please know that I'm a novice with this kind of thing so you will have to explain the process to me. If i have instructions I can definitely follow them.
THANKS!

You Factory Reset a couple of times, so that tells me you know how to get into recovery. See if you can get back into recovery and try clearing cache/dalvik too. I think you can still do that from stock recovery.
If that doesn't work and your battery is good, you can fastboot to recover it. If your battery was low when you started this, charge it prior to fastbooting. Just hold down the power button until the phone shuts off and plug into a WALL charger until it's charged. If the battery is good, you can grab the firmware from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8 (use the second one from the bottom, .3, if you flash the last one you will not be able to gain root) and flash in RSD. Another choice is to use House of Moto to recover: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/28162-house-of-moto-20/ .

OK, so I deleted the cashe and still a no go. For the second step of getting the .3 to regain root. would it be possible to get an even earlier version so I can unlock the boot loader? Also when you say flash in RSD, what is that? I know of the AP flash from the first menu, is that something inside of Recovery menu options?
Thanks for your help!
**UPDATE**
THANKS! I was able to eventually figure it out and used the last option that you said and my phone works! Now working on getting root back. Thanks again!! But I really would like to know if I could do the same thing but with an earlier version to unlock the bootloader.

Droid Razr starting up issue
Hi guys, I am facing a weird issue with my Droid Razr and hoping pros to help me sort this out and get my phone running.
I am using Droid Razr but since last one week it is not starting up. Let me elaborate, currently it is switched off and not getting up. While starting it pass through M logo but can't go ahead for startup animation (droid eye animation). Even after leaving on that animation for entire day, it is not going ahead of that.
However, if I connect it to a wall charger (while it is off) it shows battery getting charged. It is taking a usual timing of 90 minutes for full charge.
I have important pictures and data into phone memory is there any way to recover it.
I would appreciate if you can guide me to get my phone up and running as usual.
