Un-bricking DX

Got this DX from a friend, thinking it might just be a SBF flash away from being fixed.
Won't boot past 'M' and couldn't even access stock recovery. I don't know what he did to it.
Anyway, I RSD'd it and it does it thing. RSD says phone rebooted and everything passed, but the phone is back at the bootloader. I pull the battery, put it back in and the bootloader is still there.
I do another RSD flash. This time it actually tries to reboot, but hangs at the 'M' again. I let it sit for about 20 minutes and it never changes and RSD says reboot manually. I do another battery pull and reboot it. Still stuck. Tried it with a different SBF for the X, same results. Battery is dead now, gonna charge it with my roommate's X in the morning.
Just wondering if anyone has come across this and knows a solution, if there even is one. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Note: I'm using RSDLite 5.5

I recommend trying an older version of RSD Lite. Try 4.8 or 4.9.

Will give it a shot when I can charge the battery, thanks!

4.8 always worked for me. You should look into 1kds linux disc as well. Once you burn it you'll never use rsd again.

Press both camera buttons after attempting to access stock recovery by holding power and home. sbf using rsd lite 4.7 grab the full
flash sbf 3.3.340 /not system only file! Should be about 486,000mb. (Might need winrar to extract file before flashing with
rsd.)
Instruction: (1)Sbf 3.3.340 full flash
(2) When rsd says manually power up the phone. Disconnect from computer, and pull battery.(3) Boot holding home and power button. Click both volume keys down to access stock recovery.(4) Wipe data factory reset.
This worked for me! Good luck.

So I tried using an older version of RSD (4.8) and got the same results, although I'm now stuck at the older white 'M' as opposed to the newer red one.
I used VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.sbf and still cannot access the stock recovery. I'm starting to think the phone is fubar. Anymore ideas?
Gonna try the linux way in a few.

Since you have the white motorola its on 340, so thats a good sign. Did you try to burn 1kds? Google stuck at white moforola. I'm pretty sure your phone isn't fubared

I just tried 1kds with the same result. Stuck at white 'M' with no access to stock recovery. I read somewhere that this could be a RAM hardware failure, but I really hope it's not.

I googled it and came up empty. Other than to try sbf again. Damn I wish I could help more. Sorry for your situation.

I'm nearly positive an SBF is the only remedy. The issues everyone seem to be having with SBFing is very odd.

use linux ... its easy
I's guessing your sbf file is not right in the head somehow. I would try redownloading the sbf and make very sure it is for the version of bootloader you are on. ALSO might try an sbf from linux. I have had lots of problems with RSD Lite in Windows that seem to solve themselves in linux, plus with linux there are no drivers to install. I will private message you with some good instructions with a type of ALL in ONE process. let me know if u have any problems..

Phone won't reboot!

So i got this phone in a soft brick maybe... My knowledge regarding the droid 2 is essentially small. The phone will not boot up,it got stuck on the motorola logo, i was told that the phone was rooted and flashed with some sort of gingerbread, so i booted into recovery and did a factory reset...still after the reset the phone is still stuck in the motorola logo. Is there any one click restore or any link that might help me get it working again? Thanks in advance

You're going to have to sbf your phone back to froyo.

try ezSBF
also read about SBF in droid wiki and FAQs, links in my sig
edit: try this one
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-2-hacks/161849-tool-ezsbf.html
that link may not work, thought it had been updated
you need SBF, RSD Lite, and Motorola drivers
in think latest SBF is 2.3.20
you might find downloads here

problem after rooting. please help!

Hi.
I used advanced hack kit to root my desire hd. It first downgraded the rom then i rooted the phone. I then installed a custom rom and it was working great.
I read that there would be an app showing which would show that it has been rooted (cant remember the app name) so i rooted it again and now i cant get a new rom on my phone. (i now know this was a stupid thing to do).
I am getting the error E:Cant open /cache/recovery command when i am in andriod system recovery.
When the phone is powered on it just sits at the white screen that says HTC and goes no further.
I also cant put the phone into usb debugging mode.
any help would be great as i have been trying for hours.
Thank you

So you can't boot into bootloader by pressing volume down while power on?

Haha! Dono if you still know about this device.... But i am playing around with a old Droid Pro and i can only use Droid2 bootstrap with the stock ROM, not with a custom ROM....
Any ideas?

Could someone reupload this file (or newer if exist)?

Hey sunny I've been through this situation before. Make sure you batery is charged (use the McGayver Method or universal charger). Then boot in the bootloader (vol up + power button) and connect your device to the computer. RSD lite will recognize it as "S Flash OMAP 3630"
BE CAREFUL when you flash a sbf. I'm trying to revive my defy for months because of wrong sbf file... well, hope I helped you and sorry for my english.
