[Q] Stuck at bootloader screen after update?

Alright so I was trying to update to the new Fission ROM but it had the whole audio bug thing so I reverted back and was going to update to .340 before flashing back over to fission. I downloaded the update zips for 340 but I didn't know that it was recommended to flash one, reboot, flash the other, etc. Which may be why I'm stuck at this screen..
It's just black and says
"Bootloader
30.04
Err:A5,70,39,00,27
Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB"
I've tried to SBF but it's still stuck there. Can't boot into recovery, nothing. Can anyone help? Or am I going to have to try and get verizon to replace my phone.
Edit: Just realized I clicked development instead of general. Oops. Sorry mods.
Edit 2: I fixed it. I'll leave this here for anyone who has the same problem. I had to SBF back to .320 instead of .340 and then boot into recovery and wipe data/cache.

I had the same problem. I sbf'd .340 and that worked for me.

Good to see you fixed it. The reason you had to SBF back to .320 was because it was a full SBF, and .340 has only been seen in System-Only form which does not include a bootloader.

[Q] DX stuck in stock bootloader/recover? HELP!!!!!

I was running the Fission 2.4.3 rom and it was having some problems because I read that it was because I was running on 2.2.1 kernel and I downloaded 2.3.340 Kernel Updater (2.6.32.9-g55626e1) and BP_C_1.09.07P Baseband Updater (also known as your radio file) from http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...ystem-baseband-2-3-340-kernel-bootloader.html then I installed both of those, now when I boot up to the Bootloader 30.03, it says, err:A5,70,00,00,23 Battery OK OK to Program Connect USB Data Cable. The phone also lets me boot in to the stock recovery by pressing Power and Home. Please help me I need help and I cant figure it out.

You should be on Bootloader 30.04. I would suggest grabbing the full .320 SBF, and the system-only .340 SBF, then flashing them both in order. After flashing them both go into the Motorola recovery and do a factory reset.

How do I do the SBF thing if I can only get in to the Bootloader 30.03 screen and the stock recovery screen. I have the clockwork recovery installed but i cant get to it. HELP

SBF is done from the bootloader menu you are already in. This link will help you with the process. If you are still on the original Froyo OTA, you will need the .320 Full SBF, and the .340 System-Only SBF. I cannot provide links to them due to a C&D notice, but they are not hard to find using Google.

[Q] Gingerbread leak---->stock 2.2

Alright I need to put the phone back to stock 2.2, yet at the same time when I do attempt to reflash the device using RSDLite and a 2.2 .sbf...I end up with a Droid X that is stuck on the red M logo. Any way out of this? I've tried doing a factory reset, but no dice.
Did I flash the wrong .sbf file?
EDIT: Tried flashing a previous version that's incompatible with the stock 2.3.34 .sbf. Whoops... :facepalm:

[Q] Need help with installing ICS on Defy+

I recently bought Defy+ with 2.3.5. and i want to install ICS but i don't understand a thing about SBF files, Nandroid stuff. Rooting and installing custom ROM-s doesn't seem to be a problem only this thing about upgrading and downgrading SBF is what I dont understand.
Can anybody explain me in simplest way what are SBF files and how to put ICS on my phone.

This is what SBF's are all about.
And this is how to flash CM9 ICS.

Ok, but would i be able to put my stock ROM back after i install that ICS?

Just stay away from flashing SBF files and you'll be fine and will always be able to go back to stock.
NB! The only SBF you should ever flash, is your STOCK SBF! If you obey this rule, you'll be just fine
P.S. This post was written in font size 7 for a reason and the reason is not that I'm yelling. It's just because many people here listen to other newby's, advising them to flash this or that SBF and then can't go back. It's for your own good, guys

First go and find your stock(faktory)rom then look if you have red(bayer) or green (SOC) camera lens
root your phone
install 2nd init or use twrp from goo-inside or goomanager app
Boot into cwm recovery
Make a backup of your stock rom
Now you can go back via recovery system to your own setup whenever you want to
Just wipe data , look for the right kernel and restore your backup
You can flash your orginal sbf with rsd lite whenever you want and your phone is nearley like a new one.
Maybe some infos are stored on phone what you have flashed on

So I do this:
1. Root phone
2. Install 2nd init
3.Backup of my stock ROM
And than install ICS like it is explained here.
And if I want to return stock ROM I just find backup file on my computer and install it with rsd lite.

No need to backup your original ROM - that's what your stock SBF is for By flashing it, you will return your original system, that was installed by Motorola and will remove 2nd init, root and all traces of ever manipulating your phone

That's the safest way! However, you can't always find your original SBF (e.g. my original rom is 45.0.74.MB526.Retail.en.DE, 4.5.1-134 DFP-74).
You can download the available SBF for defy+ here: h**p://sbf.droid-developers.org/umts_jordanplus/list.php

So if i want to take my phone to service i just download 2.3.5 Motorola Stock ROM and flash it like normal.
What is difference between flashing ROM and SBF files?
And you told me that only SBF i should flash is my stock SBF but want i change my SBF files when i flash ICS?

I have a nandroid of the stock rom that came with my phone.. how do I see what build version it is? Im on cm7.2. I cant restore it because of hash errors. So if i find out build info i can flash that particular sbf

If you flash just the ROM, the kernel and the other files will be the same and most important you won't burn eFuses, so you'll be able to come back to older version.

Auris 1.6 vvt-i told you to flash your stock SBF to avoid burning eFuses and because in this way you will never have problems with warranty (some versions could be not available in your country). You don't need to flash full SBF before upgrading to ICS, just check the kernel and flash the right version.

Help please!!

So I was attempting to flash GummyICS to my dad's Motorola Milestone X through CWM. I flashed and rebooted and the phone only reboots to the M splash screen. Can not get into CWM or stock recovery. I did create a backup with CWM but cant get into it to apply it. Heres the real issue, I have read that the fix for this is to flash the .SBF file. The problem with that is that we go through a local carrier (Cellcom based in Wisconsin) and I cannot find the .sbf for our carrier. Thank you for the help.

Find A milestone x sbf file (a newer one) and flash it using the Linux disc method. That way it does not change the radio. Remember google is your friend.
