Stuck in bootloader after 3.40

Used Boot Straper from Market flashed .320 from .315 everything went correctly verified update in settings. Booted with bootstraper again cleared all the partitions like cache installed
2.3.340 Kernel Updater (2.6.32.9-g55626e1) .zip
BP_C_1.09.07P Baseband Updater .zip
2.3.340 System Updater .zip
ApeX 1.3.1 .zip
note none where sbf files rebooted the system and im stuck in bootleader and reads
Bootloader
30.04
err:A5,69,35,00,27
Battery OK
OK to Program
USB connected
Data Cable
Nothing I do can avoid botloader. After Finaly getting RSD Loader 4.9 to reconize my device I tried to cure it by flashing Droid Life 2.3.340 .sbf file and RSD give err 0x700

Try the .320 SBF, then .340 SBF. If that fails you will have to wait until you can get a hold of the next full SBF.

I went to a new computer and I flashed .15 SBF I belive full bc it was like 400mb with success on flash but my cute little android man pissing on craple is gone and boots immedieately into BL saying no system. So Now flashing .340 SBF and see what happens. If this don't work I am fresh out of ideas

That won't work. Flash the full .320 SBF then the system only .340 SBF and you'll be fine.

This worked for me. You should do it this way.

If you are on stock 2.3.15 now, then just go to Settings>About Phone>System Updates. This should do the OTA update and bring you to 2.3.340. No Need to flash the 2.3.320 full sbf and then the 2.3.340 sbf.

Your right that won't work. Its stuck in loader so no system will boot. So I need to go find the 320 sbf in order to get out of this. I'm asuming its the 30.04 bootloader preventing the 315 sbf from bringing me out and why the 340 system sbf won't rescue me. Ok ill try it thanks

Yeah, I think I remember reading if you have 30.04 bootloader, the 2.3.15 sbf will not work, but I can't remember for sure.
To check what bootloader you have, power off your phone. Now press and hold both volume keys; keep pressing the volume keys as you power the phone back up. The phone will proceed to enter bootloader mode and show you what bootloader you have.

Sorry for the pore responses and spelling. I was sneaking posts at the Verizon store while fighting with the manager to please charge my battery so I could flash my phone. Battery died on me apparently it will not accept any type of charge from the phone when stuck in boot loader.
bouchigo - Thanks you been a big help bud, Finally! Someone says how to put the X into that bootloader I couldn't figure it out so went with the clockworks .zip 340 system flash instead of the sbf. Had to google for the 320.sbf couldn't find much on here for this so it is downloading now and see what happens after that. I did find during my search that if the bootload was 30.04 the phone would not accept a 315 system so that is indeed accurate.
mlclm - Thank you

w00t phone just booted out of the dead with the 320.sbf!
Curious thing is what in my method caused the phone to do this?
Well no matter if im on 320 or 340 the phone wont activate over air programming and thus cant go anywhere past that damn droid icon, coincidence of bad timing was an outage in service on my area life is peachy now

Strange. I have had the ota programming fail and I had the option to skip. Then open dialer and do *22899 to program.

Try doing a "data/factory reset" and "wipe cache", after that reboot and see if fixes your problem.
1. Power off your phone
2. Press and hold the home key (the button with the little house on it).
3. While holding the home button down, power up the phone. Once phone starts to power up, you can let go of the power button, but keep holding the home button until you see a triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle with a little android underneath the triangle.
4. Now, press the search button (the magnifying glass button).
5. Scroll to "wipe data/factory reset" (with the volume up and down buttons) and select it with the camera button.
6. Now scroll to "wipe cache partition" and do the same as you did previously.
7. Reboot and hope it solved your problem.

Yeah I did all that to try and skip the programming. I could do emergency dial and do *22898 and get to customer rep who found a outage in my area after that was fixer the phone programmed like it should and all was good.
Im about to post on Apex thread about a small issue. But all together the setup is working so much better faster cleaner then the old setup so 5 *'s.
For some reason if you hold power button and select restart the phone will boot into clockworks recovery every time. Uninstalled clockworks app and still does it. And currently have 2 SMS apps and wont let me uninstall any of them and its causing all SMS to be duplicated. Only bugs so far

I had that service problem too when I SBF'd. When I was on .15 I tried to use the
system updater on droid world (stupidly) to .340 and the patches. So after I got
stuck on the bootloader like you did, I just SBF'd to .320 and then went back
to droid world and then installed the system updater (.340) with bootstrap and
then the following patches. I had to go outside to get at least one bar of service
in order to activate the phone. After about 20 minutes or so I started getting
signal back the way it was before. I *228 again a few times to get rid of the
roaming icon. Sometimes it takes a few programs to get you to the correct towers.
Here's the droid world thread.
http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...ystem-baseband-2-3-340-kernel-bootloader.html
Note: I of course activated the phone before using the system updater and patches.
Gain your signal back first before you get onto .340

Open droid x bootstrapper and hit the bootstrap recovery button. This should stop you booting to ce everytime you restart.

[Q] Already rooted but Qs about Custom ROMs

I'm rooted but have never ran anything but stock on my phone. Only having experience with flashing WinMo devices, what exactly do I need to know before flashing a custom ROM?
If I flash, do I lose the data on my phone now (does it do a factory wipe)?

Most times toy will need to do a wipe of the data and cache to get a full rom working correctly.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

Yeah, thanks.. Just downloaded ROM manager and Clockworkmod Recovery ($2), kinda following the instructions from Gummys post.
How long does this process take? I installed from SD and did the reboot.. I must of waited a good fifteen minutes before pulling the battery assuming it was stuck. Now it's sitting on the Gummy Screen with the 4 rotating colored android pics.
Got into recovery but it's not allowing me to apply the update.zip (e:can't open/cache/recovery/command)?

Dang it! I was in the middle of posting the following instructions when I got interrupted (at work)
Code:
Flashing will wipe your phone. The nice thing with android is -anything you have purchased or installed from the market will automatically be restored to your phone after you log in using your gmail account.
Let me qualify my statement though - I have flashed a few roms and my free apps were not automatically installed for whatever reason. My purchased apps were not installed either - but they were available for installation at no charge.
Here is another important thing to remember - this will only happen if you chose the correct settings in -uh well- settings. There are some options in there to back up your data to google. If you did that then 95% chance it will all be good.
I recently switched from the DX to the D1 (gave my wife the DX bc I wanted to try some D1 roms) and all my apps were installed and somehow google even migrated my current wallpaper over! I was blown away by that.
Also -make sure your contacts are set up to sync with google. if they are just being added to your phone and not in sync with your google account you are going to loose them all.
Flashing roms:
1. You need to get the droidx bootstrapper app from the market (or I think you can get it for free if you search clockwork mod on google and go to Koush's website. I just bought it to help the developer.).
2. Open the app.
3. Press the "Bootstrap recovery button"
4. You should get a dialog box saying success (or something and then press ok).
5. Press "reboot recovery".
6. Your phone will reboot into clockwork recovery (not the stock phone recovery). It will be a black screen with old school green letters and a menu.
a. In recovery you do not have a touch screen.
b. The volume rocker is up/down.
c. The camera button is "Enter".
d. The physical back button will take you back one menu (also I believe the power button but I always used the power button.
7. The first thing you want to do before you do anything is make a nandroid (backup) of your phone.
8. The opening screen of recovery has the option to create a nandroid. do that.
9. It takes around 5 minutes then choose to reboot your phone when it says, ""complete".
10. To flash a rom put ti...
Wish I would have just posted what I had. Maybe you would have had a nandroid to revert to.
Dang.
Yea. It shouldn't take that long. Sounds like something got hosed. I am getting interrupter again. I will try and get back with some info.

Awesome info, thanks for this. Did a factory wipe and now it's booting up normally (or so it appears into Gummy), will definitely bookmark that info though, thanks again man!

Were you installing Gummy. And did you follow the instructions exactly?
****EDIT****
looks like you got it. glad to hear that.

[Q] Some Questions about MM2

Hi guys im new here and i have some questions ( srry of some of them are dumb )
1- what is Flash SBF Milestone 2 RETAIL BRAZIL?
what exactly it does?
2- when android 2.3 gingerbread will be avaliable for us?
3- (it's about regina app) why this app always refresh the whole regina app when my m2 lockscreen? is it normal?
4- how can i change the ugly slidebar and vibration for my m2? (if it can be done)
5- i saw a tuti about "Install and run 2nd-init on Milestone2" what is that ?
6- im thinking to install [ROM]Argen2Stone v1.9, but i dont know the goods about it.
7- ( if it's possible ) can i update my m2 2.2 to 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 ? what are the possibilites for us ? ( m2 owners )
thanks all!

I'll try to answer some of your questions:
1.-
2. Nobody knows that. Not an exact date anyway. Motorola said something like that there will be something in Q3 or maybe Q4. GB for M2 is leaking right now but it does not say something about the release date after all.
3. I don't have that app.
4. There are lockscreen programs in the market. Mine is called WidgetLocker and it beautifully does it's job.
5. As far as I know you'll be able to edit some registry settings with 2nd init. Not so sure.
6. Most of the people using Argen2Stone say it's a faster running rom. It has some nice features included but not so many changes after all.
7. Yes, there have been official updates by Motorola. You'll be able to update via the internet. Just go to the official Motorola hompage. But do not hope for many changes, basically it's just bugfixes.

With respect to the screen refresh, I get the same issue with LauncherPro, not every time but often enough. I think its normal.
I have modified vibration for SMS and email through a program called WhoIsIt, its designed for having certain ringtones for your contacts but it does allow for some vibration modifications

1 - Flash Brazil SBF: Each country has a SBF, which is a file that is flashed in the phone and has all the files it needs to work. You need to flash brazil SBF because Argen2Stone was developed over brazilian sbf. If you apply it over a different country SBF, there is a huge change that something will go wrong.
2 - When Moto leaks/release it
3 - I'm assuming Regina is a launcher. Every app is put on sleep when you lock your phone, to save resources. So, every time you unlock it, the app has to redraw everything. It's normal.
4 - One more to WidgetLocker. Great app. The stock unlock slider is really laggy.
5 - Don't worry about that. Custom ROMs already have 2nd Init installed. Just flash a custom ROM (like Argen2Stone for us)
6 - Some freezed apps, some eye candy, 2nd Init. It's a pretty sweet cooked ROM. It's better than stock.
7 - There is an update to 2.2.2, but I'm not sure about the benefits. Argen2Stone 2.0 is coming with 2.2.2

I thanked you all guys ,
you gave me alot usefull infos.
I liked the app called "widgetlocker lockscreen" a really nice app.
Now a question, well i have android 2.2 installed at mine MM2.
the official moto site doesnot give us android 2.2.1
can any of you guys point me where can i get that update or how to do it? i mean , tools and step for step how to do ? 2.2.1 or to 2.2.2 (because higher version mean better stability and etc right?) I want at least 2.2.1
now about to install [ROM]Argen2Stone v1.9
any of you guys can point me a tuti/link how to install [ROM]Argen2Stone v1.9 step by step?
Thank you for your patience and attention.

Really quick (but complete) "tutti" =D
You have to download RSDLite (latest version if possible) and Motorola Drivers. Just do a quick search on Google, it's easy to find. Install RSD Lite and then the drivers.
Now the fun part:
1. Flash Brazillian SBF
2. Root your phone
3. Download Droid 2 Bootstrapper (it works on M2, don't worry)
4. Click on "Bootstrap Recovery" in Droid 2 Bootstrapper
5. Copy A2S files to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/A2S/ (create this folder if it doesn't exist)
6. In Droid 2 Bootstrapper, click on "Reboot Recovery". The phone will reboot and show a black and green screen. You can navigate on this screen using volume keys or the arrow keys on the keyboard, and select options with the Ok key or the camera key (full press).
7. Select "Wipe Cache Partition" and confirm. It's really quick.
8. Select "Backup and Restore", "Restore" and choose Argen2Stone folder.
9. Let the phone do the job. It will copy a bunch of files in your phone. After that, select "Reboot Now"
10. The phone has to rebuild some things (I think it's Dalvik's partition, but I'm not sure). It'll take some time. Go drink a coffee or take a walk. About 5min for it to finish. If it gets stuck in the Bootlogo, remove the battery and restart it. If it goes to CWM Menu (the green thing) just select "Restart Now"
That's it. The easiest way to flash A2S.
Just a warning: There is a huge chance that you'll not be able to flash Brazillian SBF due to RSDLite bugs. Uninstall both driver and RSD Lite and reinstall, then try again. Maybe entering bootloader will help: turn off your device, hold Vol Up and Camera and then turn it on again, without releasing the keys. You'll get into a black screen with a white number on it. Try to flash now.

CM7 for n00bs

I humbly present;
A n00b's guide to cm7 for the Bravo
(if any benevolent mod feels this a worthy post, kindly replace my broken links with real ones. I am but a lowely new member. I'm also unsure if it should go here or Q/A, please move if inappropriate)
I got my wife a Bravo yesterday (unlocked, from Amazon) for her to use. These are the steps I took to get it up and running with CM7. This is from unboxing through to success.
On with it!
Sim in, Fire up phone. I gave Blur garbage info to make it go away. The internet assures me there is some way to initially bypass blur, but I could not find it.
Upon getting into the phone, turn on usb debugging (Settings -> Applications -> Developement)
On your computer, install the official Motorola drivers, located here: ht tp://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Support-Homepage/Software_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers
Connect the bravo to your machine, let all the drivers install. On the bravo, change the USB connection to Mass Storage
Download CM7 and the Google Apps packages from this thread: ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445839
Put both of these zip files on the Bravo's SD card.
Download SuperOneClick from the first post on this thread: ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Unzip its contents to a folder on your computer and run it. In the upper right hand corner, select Expoit: psnuter
Click Root.
Note; If you have any driverless hardware on your machine, SOC will prompt to force the install of adb drivers. DO NOT DO THIS. For example, I have some Dell poop on my machine I never bothered finding drivers for.​
SuperOneClick should spin through its root process and succeed with no further intervention on your part. Your phone should now be rooted.
From here, unplug your Bravo. Reboot it.
When it comes up, fire up the Market and go buy (yes, money, a whopping $1.50) BandroidX's excellent Bravo Bootstrap app. Here is a thread for reference: ht tp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047292
When it installs, launch it. Superuser will prompt you to give it root perms, tell it Yes and remember.
Click the "Bootstrap Recovery" button. This "installs the bootloader" (for lack of more specific terminology). Be patient, on mine it succeeded right away, but the Dev warns it may take time.
I did a normal power off / power on at this point. Probably uneeded, but I just really love the Motorola boot animation.
Once back on, go back into BandroidX's app and click the "Reboot Recovery" button. Your phone will immediately reboot into a (possibly familiar) CMW-esq screen. You will navigate up and down with the volume buttons, select with the power button.
Wipe the cache, confirm
Wipe the dalvik cache, confirm
Wipe Data / Factory Restore
Install from Zip: select cm7 zip file off SD card. Let it do its thing.
Install from Zip: select google apps zip, let it finish.
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Reboot Device.
The second two cache wipes may be uneeded. I came from Atrix modding where all good results were surrounded by cache wipes
The first time cyanogen boots, mine hung on the CM7 boot animation indefinetly (I let it sit 30 minutes)
I did a battery pull to reboot.
After that, it started beautifully. Hello CM7!
The big red danger: I have done this whole process three times (restoring to sbf via rsd each time, but thats for another tutorial). The first two times, after flashing CM7, I tried to install BandroidX's bootloader. After clicking the magic top button, my device would no longer boot, instead Hang on the first red M screen. Regular phone recovery menu data wipes did not fix. Had to use RSD. This may be documented in a thread I could not find, but be aware of it.
I hope this helps somebody else out there. All credit goes to the devs who did the ACTUAL work that I laid out here.

The Bravo Bootstrap app is not necessary. You can use 2ndInit Recovery for the Defy and it's free. BTW, I do own Bravo Bootstrap and found 2ndInit a day later....kinda made me mad. Link to 2ndInit Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1032212

Absolutely correct. And as I look at the second sentence of that post you linked, I realize why trying to stamp bravo-recovery on CM mucked up my world :/
Live and learn I suppose!

an absolutely perfect guide. I too had to flash sbf twice but for different reasons. I hope those who are having the same problems as I did find this post and similar ones. Thanks!
*edit*
you might want to add an extra step on how to flash Gapps(google apps for those who don't know, things like g-mail and the market and such) link to the forum where you can find gapps is here:
htt p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445839
(can't post links, sorry for the huge inconvenience ) enjoy!
Special thanks to everyone who has helped me out! skevy420, quarx, josuearisty, bandroidx, and anyone else I missed!

good guide

I tried it and it worked! Thank you so much - I am completely new to smartphone modding of any kind and could never have done it on my own.
Extremely noob question - where is the "thanks" button?
Edit: Never mind, I found it.

Great guide, missing one thing.
As soon as someone points out which "google apps" stuff to download, I will hit the thanks button.
On the page this points to for the google apps, there is 40 files to choose from. I notice that some are labeled by date, but which group matters and what date is best?

To turn off blur\bypass blur setup, type eebluroffee on the first screen. Sometimes it takes a few tries, just keep trying eebluroffee and it'll eventually work.
The gapps for GB (CM7) is the 2011\08\28 version. It's linked in a few of the threads around here. ICS is the 2012\03\17 (latest the last time I checked, although a few of the apps are now outdated, like Play and GMail).
You can use the Hacked Gapps I made with CM7. Its in Bravo Themes and Apps. Its the same as the 2011\08\28 version, except that Market is updated to Play and Maps has the international navigaion hack.

I had to reflash the stock 2.2.1 SBF every time, until I did the wipes both BEFORE and AFTER.
No indefinite load screen... Just a beautiful custom ROM!
Oh, and I used "Defy 2ndinit" and installed the latest (1.0.7 or something).
This is my first Bravo to put a custom ROM on, but my second phone and that helped.
Now off to find/build custom themes!
EDIT: And thanks a bunch skeevy420!

All Credit Goes To Those Who Made This Possible

Thanks. Going to try this now. Fingers crossed!
Edit: Ok. Successful install on the first try. A few problems though. 3g doesn't work (known issue) and I haven't been able to get link2sd working again just yet. There's a lot more ram to play with and the overall performance thus far is awesome. Its like my phone got a new engine. Everything is fast and zippy and runs as smooth as butter.

I didnt have that problem with mine. Didnt have to use that fix as it was working just fine without going through that. Unfortunately I bricked mine after I stupidly reinstalled the flipout bootloader again. (DO NOT do that). Its stuck in an endless boot loop. Im unable to flash the sbf for froyo through RSD Lite because the phone switches off when its plugged into the pc. Which means its bricked unless i can get an official update.zip to flash through the bootloader manually. (i doubt that would even work because you cant downgrade with an update.zip file afaik)

Im unable to flash the sbf for froyo through RSD Lite because the phone switches off when its plugged into the pc. Which means its bricked unless i can get an official update.zip to flash through the bootloader manually. (i doubt that would even work because you cant downgrade with an update.zip file afaik)

Why would you reinstall the flipout bootloader?? after installing the cm7 its recovery is installed as well. to enter it all you have to do is hit reboot and the recovery from your power menu. sounds like u messed up bigtime

I know. I really messed up. I think I did it to reflash the rom to bring it back to stock settings. I carried it back to the store I bought it. My warranty is still valid and they don't have the technical means to figure out whether I tampered with the software. I'll likely get a new one or another one worth the same value I paid for the flipside.
I was about to sell it to a friend anyway as I'm more interested in the galaxy nexus. I guess it's not all that bad. If I do get it or a new one back, I'll donate it to someone working on the ROM. So in the end, we all win.
