Guys,
First of all, hello to all! So, I followed a tutorial to install Froyo on my Defy. Now I'm stuck with my phone trying to boot as soon as i put the battery on, but it never makes it past the "M". I can get into recovery. I wiped data, cache and tried to install the "update.zip" but it aborts saying "signature verification failed." I have the boot file (that was the next step) to install using RSDlite 4.9 but the phone is not even recognized any of my USB ports. Any ideas? Thanks to all in advanced.
press volumn up buton and power button on boot , once you saw the backlit is on , release the button , you will see the rsd litle showing your usb .
dont worry . i think it is your first time to use RSD only
yea i been through that ( doesnt work on vista )
you need to install rsd lite and 2.51 UK Firmware ( no usa )
google it and you will find it or on this forum
install usb driver from motorola webiste
install rsd lite
put uk firmware in ... C drive/ program files / motorola / rsd lite
install driver
If your phone is stuck on " M " then pull battery out
turn on and quicky press power + vol up ( i think ) before M even appear
wait till it say your boot loader and your battery
plug phone in
start rsd lite
on ... look up your uk firmware that you you recently put in rsd lite folder
then you should see your phone connected on the 1 slot
then hit start or something and wait it out .
Thanks guys! But I've been messing around with this thing for so long, I drained the battery. I had to run it up to the local phone store to get it charged. I'll pick it up in a couple of hours and give your advice a try.
Hey guys! it worked! I'm up and running. Now, anyone has a link to bypass this Welcome to Motoblur screen. Is there a Custom Froyo or Gingerbread Rom out there without Motoblur?
Alright... I'm up and running, but no camera!!! Heck, it was a learning experience. I guess I'll go back to 2.1 now. LOL
So the Chinese ROM was rooted. I installed Clockworkmod and restored from the backup i had made of the original 2.1 OS. I'm back to a rebooting phone not making it past the "M" I went back to RSDlite and realized the boot file said 2.2 only. Can anyone assist me finding the right one to go back to original. I haven't been able to find a thread about reverting back to original.
The more I read, the smarter I get seems like the only thing I'm missing here is the SBF file for my original T-Mobile OS. I'm looking at the motorola website, but I can't find it. Can anyone point me to it? Thanks all! Oh yeah, this is the first android phone i mess with so my apologies.
There is no us sbf file. You have to flash a uk version and restore 3g with the posted fix. You can find the links to available sbf files on this forum. They are not available thru moto's site.

Just to make sure I got it right. After using clockworkmod to restore to my factory backup, I need to use the UK sbf to be able to boot to it. Correct?
I found the sbf for Central Europe with no Motoblur. Does anyone know of any issues with it?
well the only way to fix this if you previously backed up your rom/files with recovery ( good thing i did this ). If not then you have to live with what you got.
I backed up my original firmware using clockworkmod. I flashed to the Chinese 2.2 but my camera didn't work. Since the camera is important to me, the Chinese Froyo was a deal breaker. I installed clockworkmod again and "recovered" from my original backup but now my defy won't boot. Did I miss a step?
Your data from the backup may cause issues when rolling backwards. Install an eclair sbf, then restore. That worked for me.
On another note there is a fix for the camera. Check the forums.

Just try and install the Motorola Drivers in your desktop and open RSDLite and press 'show devices' button. It will surely show the details of your phone.
Then point RSDLite to the stock SBF and flash away.

Thanks! Vignesh. But i have drivers installed. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. But did not help
Edit:
I missed to mention. My defy did not connect to desktop even before bricking.

If you hear the USB plugged in sound in your Pc, it's a messed up driver installation. If you don't hear the sound, it can be a bad cable, or a faulty microusb port (assuming that your pc usb works fine). Try once in a different pc and with a different microusb cable.

I do not hear any sound from desktop/laptop.
I think I stuck in boot loop. When I try to power on the phone, it just shows CM7 boot logo for few seconds then restarts again shows the boot logo... this happens continually. When I try to enter into recovery, it does not go to CWM recovery instead it goes to stock recovery. I am still able to enter into boot loader. In boot loader, it says battery OK connect USB to program. When I connect USB, it is recognized by phone and says transfer mode: USB. But my PC does not shows up the phone.
I tried re-installing drivers and RSDlite many times but no luck. But I have nandroid backup of CM7. Is there any possibilities to enter into CWM recovery?
Any help is appreciated.
Edit:
I tried even different USB cables and PCs also.
OK, so I have a D2 that someone gave me. It was completely stock (not rooted), but had all of their stuff on it still so I decided to do a factory restore through the android menus. The process started and the phone got stuck at the "M" logo, I left it for a few hours, and never budged.
I can NOT get into recovery, holding "X" and power on battery or connected to USB does nothing, have tried about 50 or 60 times now.
I can get to the bootloader and flash a new sbf (tried 2.3.20, 2.2.20, and downgrading the bootloader to d2.35) aside from the d2.37 bootloader I don't know of any other sbf's to try untill the GB one leaks, and who knows when that will be. I am using RSD lite 4.9 on win 7 x64, and 2.3.20 does not error out, also it identifies the phone as "s flash omap..." something instead of A955 or droid.
Sorry for the lengthy post, any help would be appreciated.
Edit: I tried flashing the 2.3.20 sbf from an ubuntu live CD with no joy. I just don't understand, i'm not getting any errors with ADB, it completes just fine, so recovery should be there for me to go into. The better part of 2 days trying to figure this out now.
Just a quick question, is recovery included in 2.3.20 full sbf?
Try it on a different computer. That worked for me. S flash is OK. As long as it says connected, you're good. You need to sbf. As long as you can get into Bootloader (2. 37)you can sbf.

That was the next thing I was going to try, need to get an OS on my old laptop to try, I have been busy so I should get to that sometime before the weekend. Dug out an old OG Droid that had the same issue that I could never figure out too, and got a custom recovery flashed, but no success on the full SBF or restoring a backup. Hopefully it is just this PC that is not playing nicely.
Thanks for the suggestion.
You can't get into recovery after you SBF? Is that what you mean?

Exactly, it's like recovery is not there. Powering up while holding X does nothing, all I get is the "M" logo. I've let it sit and eat a whole battery just sitting on the "M". I will try to flash on another computer or two tonight and post my results.
Well I finally had time to try on another computer, and no luck. Used a freshly downloaded SBF, moto drivers and RSD Lite 4.8. Also I hadn't thought to check the logs before, and the FlashErrorLog has 4 errors, ERROR: AP Die ID, BP Die ID, AP Public ID and BP Public ID.
Everything went same as before, RSD completes with no errors. (well almost completes when I use my Motorola branded cord, stops at rebooting phone, and with my wifes LG branded cord, it reboots into the bootloader automatically, strange)
If anyone else has any ideas, I'm just at a complete loss here, willing to try something drastic at this point.
Having a similar problem, so hope you don't mind me piggybacking on your thread. I'm running 2.3.3 rooted on my D2, and I cannot boot into recovery either, but also can't get SBF to recognize my device on any computer. Any ideas?

Hi guys after having upgraded my AT & T Motorola Atrix gingerbread to version 1.83 I get this error: failed to boot 4.
how do I reset the phone? thanks
Flas sbf. Look in development for flashing sbfs. Tons of information. Also wrong section this should be under questions and answers section.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
Flash either full 4.1.26 or 4.1.57 sbf, then update OTA to 4.1.83.
And what do you mean Gingerbread?
Unless you flashed to 2.3.4 HKTW you don't have Gingerbread.

What did you flash, and how? Is your phone unlocked?
I suspect "Failed to boot 4" is when a filesystem is missing a signature. (And "2" is when the signed hash doesn't match the data)
If you are using RSD and a Motorola .sbf, shouldn't be a problem. Please explain in detail what you have done. If you want a quick fix, after flashing 4.1.83 SBF, if you still have this problem, go back and flash The2d's PUDDING (unlocked BL.)
(This fix will only work if you have unlocked your phone.. but the only way you could get this error is if you are trying to use fastboot without first unlocking your phone, or you are manually editing boot/recovery, or making .sbf files yourself...)
Please provide clear, concise details of what you've done.
eval is right, I got both failed to boot 4 and 2 in the past
if you have an att atrix you just need to flash 1.2.6 sbf then the 1.8.3 over it, unclok your bootloader then flashboot will go.
My cell phone is Hong Kong release, flashed Chinese simplified ROM,"掘墓者ME860国行官方ROM_OLYGC_U4_1.21.0.DearTanker"

can't get the "RSD" and "fast boot"mode.
What can I do?
Same here...got "Failed to boot 4" error...
I had leaked 2.3.4 HKTW installed
I was trying to move back to 2.2...Keep getting errors when flashing to 1.2.6 as well...failing at the step where it says "Switching the device to BP mode"....Please help....
Hi,
I got that error when I had an sbf flashed and then I flashed a system.img from another firmware. Such a mismatch would also occur if an sbf was interrupted.
Cheers!

You cannot boot into RSD by holding volume-up on start?
We are lucky, when our phones fail signature/hash check, we are dropped directly into RSD mode. This seems not to be the case for you. Also, this message "Failed to boot 0x1000" is new to me, and so far seems only to have happened to ME860 users. I suspect fastboot gets the kernel (or something else?) loaded into memory at 0x1000, see:
Code:
000D173C .Unrecoverable bootloader error (
000D1760 [Fastboot]: Fastboot Entry
000D1784 Point ..Failed to boot 0x1000..LOG.
in bootloader CG from an extracted SBF. But... fails to boot kernel/microBoot? Hard to understand how a signed CG, which passed the check for your Boot ROM (same encryption keys) can have a kernel/? that does not boot on your hardware. Unless Moto has used similar keys with some hardware changes that means that .sbfs from international ROMs are not purely interchangeable? =(
And this is strange, since fastboot gives this error, so it is alive and in memory, should take some input: hopefully booting power-on + volume-down would be enough to get the menu of options, which includes RSD, same for booting power-on+volume-up key ? The inability to get into any fastboot / RSD menu looks like it could be a serious Moto bug... I hope whoever posted that SBF puts a huge WARNING for users of your model of phone...
I forgot to ask the 0x1000 people...
During any point during boot, does the device show up in usb? Command "watch -n .2 lsusb" in linux would do..
Thank bro…. I’ve try this way “As the devices is booting hold the volume up button”
But it is no use … the device is continue booting … again and again…
If it is work … at the top of the screen will show “strating RSD protocol ….”
But now my atrix didn’t show anything ..
And the screen won’t show any MOTO’s logo….
Does anyone can help me to save my atrix ?? > <
Please …
Look here,Please:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14673911
Again, do you ever see it appear on usb? In linux
# watch -n .1 lsusb
and keep your eyes open for Motorola PCS
That is your only hope... if we cannot even communicate with the phone via usb, well, it is pretty much a hard-brick.
Who made this [email protected]! Others are OK with it??

Hey there!
My beloved Droid R2D2 seems to be ailing in the form of being bricked. Nothing happened to it, it just decided that today (really three days ago) was a good day to get stuck in Bootloader on infinite loop. The battery is fully charged, whenever I turn on the phone it goes to:
Bootloader
D2.37
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
I can get into both Recovery and Bootloader the normal way (I've tried wiping my cache and setting it back to factory settings already) but can't seem to get to anything else.
I tried SBFing it using RSDLite v5.6 with the most recent drivers installed and the SBF file from the lovely droid developers site (specifically the 2.3.4 version). It gets to 100%, the phone restarts, but then I'm presented with the message:
Error switching phone to BP Pass through mode (0x70BE); phone connected
and a big FAIL in the Result box.
I've been looking all over for solutions so I wouldn't have to post this, but it seems everyone else has errors or corrupted codes with their bootloader, whereas mine seems to think it's okay.
I absolutely adore this phone and am by no means ready to give it up (they've even stopped producing them so any new phone would have to be a plain old regular Droid2...), so any help would be unbelievably appreciated!
http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/SBF
Note: Under certain circumstances (especially when using Windows Vista and Windows 7) there might be a problem with not all device drivers being installed correctly. In such case, the flashing process will abort, and your phone won't be able to boot normally. RSDLite shows the following error message:
Error switching phone to BP Pass through mode
To get around this issue, once you get a Device driver could not be installed message from Windows, don't close RSDLite nor power off the phone. Start Motorola Driver Installer once again, and let it finish. Then if RSDLite didn't timeout yet, head to Device Manager, find the Unknown device, and in its properties' Driver tab click Update driver…. It should now install normally. If RSDLite timed out and you got an error from it, just repeat the SBF process. The driver should now be present, and the flashing process will finish normally.
Once the flashing process is complete, RSDLite will tell you to “power the phone up manually”. In most cases you won't be able to do this straight as instructed: the phone will be bootlooping. Take the battery out, and then place it back in. Press the lock/power button: the phone should boot normally.
Close RSDLite. Disregard the warning about flashing not being completed since your phone has already booted into Android.
In case you still get bootloops after pulling the battery, refer to Android Recovery.

Ah! ezSBF worked! This is both wonderful and unfortunate (I ordered a droid 4 to replace my phone deciding it really was dead so now I have to figure out whether to switch to the 4 or send it back for a few more months in the hopes that its price goes down a bit more...) but mostly really good to see old R2 alive and well again. Thanks!
