[Q] Droid 2 bricked after GB update, SBF will now work for me....help!!

I installed Gingerbread that was recently released by team black hat, it was working perfectly for a few days, then all of a sudden.....im stuck at M logo. So i followed P3Droid's instructions , down loaded all the necessary files and tried to flash the 2.3.20 sbf file and nothing happens. When i connect my phone to RSD Lite (tried 4.7, 4.9) it does not recognize my phone, it says my phone model is sflash, not droid 2 or a955. I went ahead and tried to flash but when it hits 100% it says please manually power up phone and i do....still stuck at M logo. Im ****ed, my phone is a brick, this suck! Everyone elses phone I root works perfect, except mine.....please help me if u can!!

make sure you have the correct moto drivers on your computer and make sure they are for the correct bit of your OS also. whenever i sbf the phone reboots itself.

I got all the updated files...i found it weird that my phone dosnt power up on its own. In rsd lite does it show ur phone model or show it as sflash? Mine shows as sflash, thats what i think the prob is.

Mine shows up as sflash, but the SBF has always worked correctly, even when flashing back from 2.3
Have you ever SBF'd before, and if so, has it worked?
Also, have to tried getting into the stock recovery? Try to, and wipe data and cache and see if that helps any.
Also, you may try uninstalling the moto drivers, rsd, redownload and reinstall them, and also try redownloading the SBF file.

Ive flashed SBF'd SPrecovery a long time ago with my droid 1, it worked fine. Tried uninstalling the drivers sbf file and rsd, then reinsalled them. When I hold X and power my phone just stays stuck on the M logo. Im not sure what im dokng wrong...i followed the steps from here...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770224

What sbf are you using? I use the full system sbf from here:
h t t p://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/droid-2-discussion/5323-tbh-mydroidworld-present-droid-2-2-3-20-triple-threat.html
Try that if you aren't using that one.
Also, what bootloader version do you have? Mine is 2.37

This happened to me, and I almost **** a brick. You need to hold down the power, and X buttons simultaneously, until the exclimation point in the triangle comes up. Then hit the Search button on the keyboard, which is directly below the X. If it's not working flash And again, and make sure you have the correect drivers from Motorola on your PC.

He already said that he cannot get into stock recovery.
Besides, GB stock recovery is different from froyo. Instead of hitting the search button, you have to hit vol up and vol down at the same time. Then use the volume keys to go up and down, and the power button to select.

I think i may need a working droid 2 to make sure the drivers all installed correctly.....a guy was helping me out and he thinks thats the prob. I had 2.37 bootloader and the full system sbf file, that didnt work so I went to bootloader 2.35 with full sbf, and still stuck at M logo. I hope its the drivers cuz before my phone bricked i diddnt have the latest drivers...Gotta wait a few hours till i get another droid 2 to see if that was the prob. Thanks for the suggestions.

Hello. Well to start off I had recently rooted my Droid2 which was running the OTA GB. So I started looking for roms like I use to with froyo and the leaked GB. Was looking for something to change the battery life frame poor to great. Anyway I came upon Cyanogenmod's Rom for Droid 2 For the ota gb. I made a nandroid back up, downloaded it and was ready to flash. Seconds away in boot recovery and while i was looking for the file before I think I hit "apply update" instead of "search for zip file on scdard(or what ever sentence it says) and i got it but it started loading an update. I was like wtf kinda freaked out and I did a battery pull . Now my phone stays at the M boot logo and i have no way to go back. I heard the SBF for GB ota isnt her yet . if anyone can help I would be grateful. Plz Help
Things I've tried/
1.Battery Pull.
2.Hold power button + hold X(doesnt work like froyo Poo)
3.Tried going back with rsdlite 5.3.1 with moto drivers(it won't show my device ;'( )

I just tried this on my friend's D2 (I am very experienced with the inc), and I seem to be having the same problem. I have tried Sbfing, but RSDlite will not recognize the phone. I have booted to recovery, nothing (Stock recovery), and the bootloader (Says too little charge)
What can I do?

Charge your battery in another phone like yours. Borrow someones spare battery. Take battery to verizon store and see if they can charge it somehow. There is a thread on here somewhere on how to do a hack job on your cable and hook the wires directly to your battery and charge it independent of the phone. I can't post a link so I hope you can find it by searching.

I've had this problem 4 times in the last week. I used a terminal based OS to SBF using ADB.
And in the same step I re rooted my phone. Whole thing takes about 15-20 minutes.
The steps are on the CMWiki.

Help or Free Defy, just pay shipping

Hey All,
I'm sick and tired of flashing SBFs to my Defy. I made a mistake and didn't flash the CM7 kernel after flashing CM10 and Gapps and now it's doing the 'blank screen unless you flash a SBF in RSDlite' nonsense. I've flashed a million SBFs, none of them work. I cannot get anywhere except the bootloader mode with the blank screen. The battery is charged, etc.
If someone has a step or two I can try, I'm game; but if no one can help, Imma shoot it (or ship it to someone if they want it).
Thanks dudes.
I hate motorola.

Use this chinese, it will work no matter what.

Unless you really want to ship it to me, then I'm game. I need a new defy cause mine is kinda busted. The earpiece doesnt work and the lighted buttons at the bottom dont work too well, I had to install CM10 for on screen navigation. I can provide the shipping address for you and stuff.

It really doesn't boot to the bootlogo or bootanimation? Have you tried entering stock recovery and wiping data and cache? That's a must for a stock ROM to work after using a custom one... Get your battery out; hold volume down + power button and insert the battery while holding; keep holding and it should enter stock recovery after a couple of seconds at the red M splash screen. Then press both volume keys at the same time for the menu to show up!

He's right.
I don't know how many times that Chinese SBF got me unbricked. Always did the trick for me.
The only thing is: you'll be stucked with BL7 forever.
But that doesn't prevent you from using other Custom ROMs, just from using the usual SBF files provided by other carriers.

Alright, so I flashed the file, but I have the same issue. The phone does not do anything with any type of button combination, however if I plug it into a computer, I can flash a file to it and the screen shows the progress. That's all I can get to show on the screen at all. I have 2 batteries of good condition and an external battery charger.
Any ideas?

Flash the chinese SBF in RSD lite, the progress bar (on your PC) should count to 100% twice. It will then reboot your phone for you.
Do not unplug your phone before RSD lite says finished.. And yes, wiping in stock recovery is a must.
Don't lose hope on your defy, it is almost impossible to brick

Thanks for your replies guys. Ya, I did this and it says PASS but when it says that it's rebooting the phone, it never does. I can't get into the stock recovery to wipe anything Any more ideas? Perhaps I'm holding the wrong buttons?

Try doing this:
- once the SBF is flashed, wait for RSD Lite to finish its work
- if it says "Restart the phone manually" remove the battery and unplug the phone
- put the battery back in
- press and hold power and vol- buttons for a few seconds
- release the power button, but keep vol- button pressed
- if it shows a sign with Android guy and a ! in a triangle, release vol- button and press both vol+ and vol- buttons at the same time
- if nothing changes, press the screen at the bottom right corner (just above the magnifying glass, i.e. regular search button)
This should bring up stock recovery from which you should be able to wipe data/cache. This screen should be available by default, but sometimes it's hidden. After wiping the stuff, simply reboot the phone from the recovery.
I hope this helps.

Welp, I'm having some issues with my own Defy as well. So, yesterday I flashed that Chinese SBF. And now I can say that the steps from my previous reply won't work.

My wrong. This method does work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1542956
Even though I didn't have an access to stock recovery and didn't wipe everything, the SBF loaded just fine, as well as the second (rooted one). Try that method, andjohn.
However, this didn't solve my problem with the camera, unfortunately, so I'm off to my thread.

Probably you are trying to flash an earlier BL version than what is already flashed.
So you probably need to try a BL7 SBF.
If you give up on your Defy give me a price to ship it to Australia. I might take it off your hands.

[Q] Black screen and bootloop

Hi,
1. I rooted my phone successfully.
2. I installed droid2recovery.apk
3. Restarted. Installed CM10 and Gaaps (wrong version)
4. Reboot. Everything was normal with some annoyances due to the wrong version of Gaaps.
5. Checked and the phone was already rooted in CM10. Installed droid2recovery.apk again. Reboot.
6. Trapped in bootloop.
7. Reboot and enter in system recover.
8. Tried to install CM10 and correct Gaaps. Not possible due to failed to verify whole-file signature.
9. Discover that official recover mode doesn't install unofficial roms.
10. Searched for official roms of Milestone 2 BR. All links are broken.
11. I flashed downgrade_for_bl_3 with RSD Lite. Everything was ok. PASS.
12. Still bootloop. Enter in recover mode. Black screen. Can't see the android icon with exclamation mark.
Is my phone a paper holder now? Please advise.

I'm really without luck today.
I manage to flash a SBF with Android 2.3.6, exactly like the one I had. But then I couldn't root, not with the same method I rooted mine, not with any other method.
Then I downloaded another SBF and used RSD Lite to flash it, and the phone completely died. RSD reported everything OK, PASS, Finished, perfect.
Now nothing happens. The phone is off, black screen. Completely dead. But if I hit Power + Vol - + Camera, the computer recognize. But nothing on the screen. I'm re-flashing the same SBF again.
Why different thing happen when I proceed the same way as I did in the past?
Why can't I just flash a recover boot that accepts direct installation of Cyanogen Mod 10???

You have to flash that same Android 2.3.6 SBF file, you can't use any more that "another sbf". For rooting that 2.3.6 use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750277

After you get CM10 back running, do not use droid2recovery.apk anymore!

Because you already have recovery and you don't need it... doing this you can destroy something (maybe 2-init or 2-boot), and you will need to recover your phone using RSD Lite.

Hi Douglas, did you get the milestone working again? I'm stucked with the same problem, the rsdlite recognize my cellphone I can flash it but the screen is black. Anything works
How do you fix it?

You can still flash other sbfs, but when do turn on, you need to go in recovery mode, than clear cache and data. It will start normally again.
To go to stock recovery hold when turn on "@" or "x", than when show the "android with ! " you hold volume - and foto or volume + and foto or the volume + and -, than you are in recovery.
Sorry about my English
I am showing all the option because I do not remember perfect what to do... But it works

boot into stock recovery and do a full wipe. This will solve your problem.
Press Power and x (on your Hardwarekeyboard) for several seconds. Release the buttons and you will see a yellow triangle with an exclamationmark in it. Now press vol up and down key together. voilla you got it

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. I was charging the battery
No, the problem is not the battery. Nothing works anymore. The phone doesn't even turn ON. All Black screen, not even boot loop.
So I get into the bootloader and flash new room. I can see the SN Updated text. But that is it. After it doesn't work.
I flashed DOWNGRADE BL =3 and then I flashed MILA2_U6_3.12.0_SIGNED_US1MILESTONE2PERARB125LA016.0R_GSXMILETPERARLA_P022_A013_M006_HWp2a_WIG142538_Service1FF
Nothing. Black Screen.

[Q] Defy bricked. Wont turn on, only white led on pc

I had cm11 (or 10, not sure) installed for about a month now (back in december) .... Went on a trip, and when coming back my phone battery ran out at the airport somehow, but i had fully charged it and i was not out all day enough for it to run out fully... I take my phone home, not really giving it much importance, and i noticed it was stuck on the bootlogo.. so i went into recovery and tried to re-flash the rom and fix it, but when i was installing the ROM again, the phone shut off randomly (i heard that happened with a certain recovery menu software sometimes, i cant remember the name)... then the phone wouldn't charge and/or turn on, and when I connect it to the pc, nothing happens other than the white led coming on.. RSD won't recognize it...
So i found out i had to charge the battery manually, and used a Universal Charger... Still, no recognition by RSD Lite...
Finally, i found a way:
1. Open RSDLite
2. Connect phone (no battery on it)
3. While holding Power + Vol Up, put the battery in
4. RSD will recognize your phone!
Problem is, it recognizes my MB525 as "S Flash OMAP0360"
And when i try to flash a .sbf i used previously to recover my phone (had bricked it before by trying to change ROMs in a sloppy manner), it seems to flash smoothly, but when it's going to reboot the phone, the progress goes up to 100% and then asks me to reboot it manually.. I read somewhere that to fix that i should take the battery out, disconnect the phone, put it back in, and make RSD recognize it like i mentioned before...... and after RSDLite says flashing is PASSED, the phone still won't turn on... I have tried at least three times and gotten the same result... Help?
The SBF i am using (because it helped me save my phone before) is:
JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-9_SIGNED_USAJORDMR1B25TIGCOLA01E.0R_JORLAFROTIGCOL A_P009_A002_M010_HWp3_WIG146037_Service1FF.sbf
EDIT: Also, i read somewhere that when all you get is the white led (when connecting to PC) it means that your battery is not charged enough for flashing.. ?
I don't know what to do?? I read that defy's are really hard to brick... But mine got bricked out of nowhere.. wtf?

Hey there. Well, if it's still flashable it ain't bricked. I've got my other one to not be recognized (broken bootloader), which is beyond usual repair. So, did you you flash some random SBF before the rescue one you're trying out now? There's a problem with previously flashed GingerBread or Defy+ SBF images. So it would be good to know, what was the SBF running before trying "JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-9". Also according to http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=27 that is 2.2.1 and there's also a "Android 2.2.2 Blur_Version.34.4.802.MB525.Latam.en.01". Tried that as well?
Anyhow, if the phone is seen by RSDlite it actually powers on and is recoverable. If the screen is just staying black, then you probably tried a downgrade from a Gingerbread SBF and didn't watch out for the BL-version.
If it's a BL-version problem then this might help. Also there is a guide to unbrick. And yes, keep an eye out for the battery level. Best would be an external charger, as the phone does not charge. McGyver way should still work though.
If it shows a LED and is seen over USb, it's not dead (yet)
Also look out for section "Common Problems/Questions" here.

Too bad Anyway, did you try 8. from here, that is
"
If you get " Please manually power up this phone " in RSD Lite pull battery out > put your battery back > reboot into stock recovery by holding Power button and Vol- button > Choose Wipe data/cache > Choose Reboot system now
"? Also holding Power and Vol-Down while inserting battery is said to work.
I wonder if there is an SBF that also flashes cache and userdata partitions...

Nope, it just stays black-screened.... It only works if i do VOL-UP for bootloader mode, but that doesnt help

Umm, as a shot into the blue: Did you try to reinstall the Defy drivers from Motorola? It seems that missing those hinder RSD lite from detecting the Phone as MB52x and instead just show the Processor identification, i.e. "S Flash OMAP3630"

Try dfp 231. The processor identification is correct( rsdlite has been set up properly).

wtf, the phone flashed correctly and everything but the screen won't turn on.... The computer recognizes it as MB526 now, and i can touch the home button and stuff and it will vibrate like it used to when it worked... i can also make the ringtones play using the moto portal page... Everything works (except for calls) other than the fact that i still have a black screen... the screen just wont turn on... Also it said it had very little internal memory compared to what it had before (had at least 2 gb i think.. now not even one)
I had sent the phone over to fix, and they told me it was unfixable... Is it possible that the guy (it wasnt an official company) who "tried to fix it" simply took parts out of it ? -_- (if he had taken parts out of it im guessing the phone wouldnt turn on at all..?)
What can i do to turn the screen on??
EDIT: i flashed DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf
I couldnt find the one you posted there so i did the central europe one...

Umm, according to this thread it is supposed to be this one.
The GR vs CN maybe doesn't make a difference, but maybe the P022_A022 vs. P015_A030?
Doesn't a working phone portal allow for somehow to get logs/adb etc?
