First of all sry for spamming the forums, but I seem to be unfortunate like HELL!
Anyways, I am stuck at a blue screen, and I was told here that I need some linux backup that someone might have made so I can restore it to my phone and everything would be ok and back to normal again!
I really need as soon as possible because my phone is bricked and I need it!
The last thing I flashed to my mobile, was the official 2.3.5! for x5

Hey there, I recently purchased a Bell Atrix 4G. I rooted it and everything was going fine, so I thought I'd try the gingerblur rom for the device, the tutorial site didn't mention anything about not using it on a Bell Atrix, which I found out later was a bad idea (I did make a backup though at the backup prompt). So needless to say the phone is now at the "M screen flashing red led boot loop". What I wanted to know, is if that since I have access to fast boot, if there's any way to restore from that backup.tar file, or if I can use an at/t sbf file to restore to (I didn't try it in fear of making things worse). Thanks in advance!

Whatever you do DO NOT USE THE ATT SBF! That is not meant for bell devices and will definetly make your situation even worse!
Yeah, I figured that would be the case.
Working on trying to push my backup files to my device atm

Yeah, the tutorial I used didn't say to not use it on bell atrix, but when it messed up, I went to all the other tutorials that have it in red, so I do feel pretty stupid.
Well, it's all good now, After pushing bell backup app and framework folders, I managed to get a working device (all be it with some force close crap which I'll iron out later) The device is working.
Okay so today i decide to root my phone. I heard alot about custom roms and other tweaks that make your phone do all this cool stuff. Well i try and download a custom rom, i did use the droid 2 bootstrap, and i believe i backed up on ROM Manager. after that i went and looked at roms and i downloaded Tanzanite ROM. at first i thought i was in a boot loop and i got scared because i rooted my phone last week and downloaded a custom rom wrong and it was in a boot loop. So when i thought this time it was in a boot loop, i hold X and Power button and get recovery options. i factory reset it then rebooted it, it then started up on Tanzanite ROM. I was quite happy with it, then when i try to look at my apps, they are all GONE ! There is no Market and i have no 3G coverage. I was upset and i dont know what to do. I am scared if i do something it will go into a bootloop or i will be stuck with this ROM forever. I NEED HELP ! PLEASE ! i cant afford another phone replacement. Please help me ! Please, experts, people who had this issue, somebody just please help. Thanks.
You're not stuck. There's always SBF.
SBF is your best friend. And a word of advice to you. ALWAYS find out what kind of recovery is out for your phone before you do ANYTHING like rooting or flashing. For Moto phones, SBF is your friend. HTC has RUU's.
Here is the guide to SBF your phone:

(Be sure to get the RSDlite 4.9 and the latest Moto drivers which you can find on Moto's website)
Here is the SBF file to download:

This will get you back to 100% out of the box stock.
Good luck and let us know if you get it fixed. If you have any problems or questions, feel free to PM me.
I fixed the problem. Thanks guys but i would like to know, what is SBF and what does it do? Everytime i do a new ROM i am scared of the outcome. It bootlooped once and got a new one. I will always be scared when my phone re-boots. Alot of feedback i got, has mentioned SBF and i have yet to know what it does and yet to know what it means.
I could be wrong, but I think SBF stands for System Backup File. It basically is a file that came from Motorola. Motorola uses it to get the phone back to its out of the box state, meaning it returns the phone to the same state as when you got it.
You use it if you have no way to fix your phone. As long as you can get into bootloader mode, you should be able to use the SBF. It's actually pretty hard to 100% brick these phones.
Most phone has some sort of recovery utility like this. For example, HTC has RUU (ROM Update Utility) which will do the same thing as an SBF for Moto phones. I don't actually know what other brand phones have, because I've only ever rooted HTC and Moto phones.
Also, when you flash a ROM, you say you bootloop right? Be sure before you flash a new ROM to wipe data and cache in clockwork recovery. This should prevent bootloops.
Hello everyone,
I have been on this site for sometime, always reading and waiting to be able to take the plunge into all the fun.
I am a Bell subscriber, and have enjoyed my phone till this point, but now I would like to be able to get everything back to normal.
A couple months back, I messed up my Atrix and decided to flash the following sbf file onto it, 4.2.11.MB860.Retail.en.FR.
It has been running good since then.
Now I want to be able to get back to the Bell software and be able to take the OTA updates, and have my car dock working again.
I have read until I am blue in the face, and there is so much jumping around from thread to thread, I am really lost when it comes to start this.
My phone is currently rooted using Gingerbreak 1.20, I have backed up everything, and am willing to do anything to this phone to accomplish this. I am not to worried about it, as I have purchased the extended warranty on it, so I hope I am covered.
My questions are:
Do I need to unlock my phone to proceed to the next step?
if so, I use ihop-bell?
I install CWM, I currently use the one with Rom-Manager
I download the Bell 2.2.2. Gobstopper? Install it?
I have the current version of RSD lite installed on my computer
then I ????? this is where I get lost again.
I know some of you are saying read the steps posted, but it seems they all lead to different pages and I kinda got lost in the process. Would someone point me to a step-by-step that could help me please?
Sorry for inconveniencing any of you, but it is greatly appreciated
Thank you
Fred
Good morning, Motorola Milestone 2 Users.
Today I will tell you something I've been through while trying to install a new ROM.
First of all, I've used RSD Lite v4.9 to flash the 2.2 version of android on an already 2.3 MS2, which made me has the impression I've bricked the phone.
I was flashing the 2.2 with the RSD and then suddenly the phone stopped working and the progress on the software asked me to power up manually the phone, which was impossible.
I removed the battery and have put it again, but for my desperation, nothing.
This will be basically a manual to:

If your phone don't boot or show anything, but it brights the charger light on the left of the phone, it means it's already on bootloader screen, so, just put a usb data cable and plug it in your computer and run RSD and put the newest .sbf file and flash it.
Is your phone working ok now though?
If you don;t mind this shameless plug of my own thread, some more information can be found here
It contains information about what custom roms you can use other such things, and hopefully I have included how to fix any other problems you might run into. Should you look it over and think im missing something just let me know and I'll add it in with due thanks
Holy mother DreadPirateDan, I am really sorry, I tried to help, I looked for it over and over and didn't find this post of yours, I am really ashamed, really sorry.
If and admin could, please delete this post.
And again, sorry mate.
lol it's all good you encouraged me to reformat my thread... Looking back at it I decided it was pretty sucky and confusing, Hopefully it's more straight forward now.
It's not like it's taken off or anything so it's quite understandable that people might not know of it's existence .
