[ROM STOCK] REVIVE YOUR DROID PRO! [Dec-08-14]

Hi guys! Maybe the tittle is getting you confused, but it's so, now you're gonna unbrick and revive your Droid pro and also install de last update ( 4.7.3.XT610.Verizon.en.US) for your phone. "IT MEANS IT'S ONLY FOR VERIZON MODEL". Just follow the next instructions and you'll get it .
I know like me, many of you have gotten a brick in your phone or have your phone bricked for the time being. The first step that we'll do is unbricking the phone.
First:
Mod Edit link removed
Second:
Extract both archives, install one of the two installers of RSD, once RSD is installed, search for the DROIDPRO_2.26.20.sbf file that extracted.
Third:
Let's get your droid pro into bootloader mode,for this keep volume up and volume down keys + power button at the same time for 5 seconds, if do it right you'll get onto a screen like this,
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, connect your phone by usb cable to you computer, (Remember to have installed drivers in your pc) RSD show that your droid is online, click on the search button and select DROIDPRO_2.26.20.sbf file, once this is done click on start button and RSD will begin to flash the phone, wait for the process , when it finishes, your phone will reboot and alive again!
For update your for to the last version just go> Settings>About phone>check update after first update and reboot, phone will show a pop up message with a new update, download and install all necessary times.
Hope I could have helped you :fingers-crossed:

Very useful post, since noone before mentioned the bootloader mode, only fastboot that didn't work in my case. I need to try this when I get my phone back from a magician who is trying to fix it....
Regarding the post itself, you should clearly declare that the SBF is from American (VERIZON) model, since it will brick European ones even more than they already are

A question regarding the SBF file that you have provided..
Is it SBF of Stock GB 2.3.4..???
Imagine that I have rooted my phone but now I want to remove Root from my phone permanently, so in that case can I follow these steps to get the pure Stock ROM..???
I am totally new to Motorola and coming from hTC, so that's why asking so many questions..

Every time you flash the firmware over a custom rom, you must do a factory reset from recovery.

VS980 TWRP bootloop after botched lollipop OTA while rooted like a dummy

So yeah. As the title says I had a rooted VS980 on 4.4.2 with some bloat removed and I accidently hit the wrong button when prompted for the upgrade, I was in a hurry. yes, I'm a moron, and yes, I know this is probably wasting someone's valuable time and I thoroughly apologize for my n00bishness
having said that, I have tried to go through various tuts but none of them seem to be working. yes, it's likely that I am simply doing it wrong, but whatever the case I am stuck with my phone in a bootloop always returning to the TWRP recovery. I believe that means it is soft bricked so I'm hoping this can be fixed fairly easily with the right direction and some patience for my ignorance. I can't seem to get it into download mode with turning it off, holding the volume+ button and plugging it in, it just goes to twrp. :'(
my hope is to get a rooted lollipop. if that is not possible then I would be fine with going back to stock or possibly even a custom rom if it's not too awfully complicated. honestly, I'm at a point where I'm beginning to accept that I probably shouldn't be screwing around with it too much and will likely bite the bullet and just keep my phone stock since there are really only a few minor irritants that make me want to root it.
any help is very much appreciated.

actually, it doesn't look to be the same problem. i dont have download mode, but i do have recovery. it boots to twrp like a champ. what i think i really need is how to get the flash file VS98011A_01.zip on my phone via ADB Sideload, specifically when i cant get the drivers to work.
i've tried the following drivers:
LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.14.1.exe
LG_VZW_United_WHQL_v2.20.0.exe
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S50MAN310AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.10.1_3.10.1.0
I may very well be mistaken about what needs to happen, i'm no expert, obviously, but from everything ive read any of those should have worked. i think if i can get the right flash on the phone i should be able to flash it via twrp no?

I"ll help
You need to adb sideload xdabbebs download mode restore and flash back to stock. Here is an excellent guide on adb sideloading, download xdabbeb restore download zip and put it where it tells you to. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2559200

i just happened to have a brand new data cable, tried again with same result so its not media related unless there is an issue with the plug itself, but it's charging and the Device manager shows the correct name ie VS980, it just has a yellow bang on it and i cant find a driver that changes that.
read some more and found others with the same issue apparently which led me to here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715408
which is where i found the "download mode restore" file you mentioned(i didnt see it in the thread you provided), but without the ability to get adb usb command to work i dont see how i can use it.
any ideas?

Put the zip on usb otg and flash it.

awesome, ty sir. i happened to have one of those laying around from when i cracked my screen on my old one and couldnt interact with the screen. took a while to find it buried but i have it and i have successfully been able to access a thumb drive. i think that might be all i need.
will report back though regardless.

ok, now i'm rrrrrEEAALLYY freakin confused...
successfully flashed (via the install section of twrp with usb otg thumbdrive mounted.)
xdabbeb_vs98028a_bootstack.zip
and
xdabbeb_vs982.5_1.1.0.zip
from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/development/xdabbeb-s-vs982-5-v1-0-0-t2975551
but when i reboot, it goes directly to twrp still.
wat? :'(

ok, installed this:
VS980 39A Firmware
from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/development/vs98039a-stock-fw-t3051560
rebooted, went straight to twrp again.
installed
Restore to 100% stock
from the same page.
rebooted. it went into an upgrade screen that errored and then rebooted before i got a chance to write down the error. but when it came back up, it started "android is upgrading".
so it looks like this may have worked. again, will update the success/failure when i know for sure, but thanks for the help yall. i really do appreciate it.

WOO-FREAKIN-HOOOO!!!

sweet, i'm glad someone else found it useful.

Yep, now another problem though. ..no mobile data. .. working on it.
I'd suggest flashing the files in post 12 (I didn't and am having TONS of problems)
So I really didn't get a fix- still working on it.
I have no download mode, and not way to get the serial port to display in device manager, so the LG Mobile support tool won't see my phone....

[Discussion] Dumb attempt to upgrade to Marshmallow with TWRM in osprey

Hi everyone, posting this as a information about something you should NOT try: upgrade your OTA rom with custom recovery installed, in my case TWRP.
I did this with ignorance of not think that (or search about) the custom rom could interfere at the normal process of OTA upgrade from Lollipop to MarshMallow. Actually I remembered that I was unlocked and rooted the phone but I did not remember I was using custom recovery. AFAIK at this device is impossible to root without unlocking and custom recovery.

If you are on TWRP don't do this!
For those don't know about TWRP and OTA updates, read this:
https://twrp.me/faq/officialota.html
In short terms: don't try OTA updates (official updates) if you installed custom rom such as TWRP. "Installing official updates from your manufacturer or carrier is not supported by TWRP." "[This] may result in unexpected behavior" "Most of the time the best way to get a new update onto your device is to simply wait a couple of days for ROM makers for your device to come up with ROMs that are based on the new update that you can safely and easily install."
But I did it. And now I'm reporting it for those who are curious. So, what's happened?
Fortunately the device is not bricked as I thought when it reboot to TWRP for flashing the OTA update instead of the stock recovery process! I thought that I messed everything when I see the frozen TWRP for something about 10 minutes or less. After the long 10 minutes of frozen TWRP image I got the recovery working and checked the log:
Of course, errors on the log.
Rebooted and got a frozen background image, after a while a permanent black. When the screen turn off the notification system shows the battery as dead (and it as not). But I could turn it off and gain access to the recovery holding power and volume down buttons.
After two failed reboots to the system with the same result I tried to make a screenshot using the hard buttons and it works (screenshoted the black screen) and suddenly the lock screen shows up. I got into, everything working slow meaning that there was a lot things working in the background. Got some error messages from google service and MMS/SMS communication and minutes later it automatically reboots and booted the TWRP again.
This turned to a loop. I stopped this by going to the system setup - about the device - check for updates. And got a message "the update has failed". Good. After a while the message offering the update shows again... No, thanks...
I rebooted to TWRP and fixed the permissions, maybe this solve some problems.
Right now the phone is working but the rebooting process has unexpected behaviors, some tries result in a normal fast process and other tries result in a long black image and the system/launcher just don't arm up for some minutes, but after a while it works. I'm not confident. Already backed up apps with Titanium backup.
I'm planning to restore everything from the stock using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...e-restore-moto-e-2015-stock-firmware-t3054303
And them, maybe, update the OTA to marshmallow. Before doing that, I will search and get to know if it is possible to re-root the phone with marshmallow in osprey (that means re-unlock and install TWRP again). Rooted device it's a need for me.
This is what happened to my device when tried to OTA update with TWRP. I had luck not bricking this.

+1 on the dumb attempt. Early morning, excited for the release, upgrade please! Yeah, no good. Is restoring our only option? Seems the upgrade has not even started so what about deleting the downloaded image file or trying to kill the process attempt?

did you really had to make a new thread with that huge wall of text? haha come on man, common knowledge that to take the OTA you need stock recovery ?

Yeah, DON'T proceed with the update! Deleting the downloaded files just break the process... My advise is to make a backup before deleting this.

No need to adb stock image. A simple factory reset worked for me. Next time will have more caffiene before attempting anything major with my phone.

Good to know that a factory reset could fix the problems caused by the OTA update with TWRP. But after this it should remain with custom recovery and not possible to OTA update. for stock MM

Thank you for the warning

I experience this today, I flashed a stock rom again so I can have the OTA update, but what I can't do is root my device, I flash the custom recovery and then I flash the beta version of SuperSU, and when I reboot my device it bricks in the Motorola Logo, anybody knows how to fix this, or should I wait a little bit longer to root my phone? as the OP I need root too

Use the latest 2.62 superSU zip. And never root with the TWRP option before reboot.

Never done that, I tried flashing the superSU 2.52 from a bunch of tutorials I found on Google, but all it does is bricking my phone on the Motorola Logo, then I have to do all the downgrade and update process again

this is a known issue with the mm update. Use 2.61 or newer, only. These are the new systemless root zips.

Can you post a little tutorial?, I wanna be sure I'm doing everything OK.

Bricked My Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50F and How To Root Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0

(Requesting delete on my first post)
I was screwing around with my newly rooted Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50F, specifically with SuperSume. Trying to change king roots crappy SuperSU to the official SuperSU, when it wouldn't boot past the logo, so being the idiot i am. I tried hard resetting it. It wouldn't go past a sliver of the progress. Could anyone give me a tutorial on how to fix my device?
It seems like EVERY tablet I get doesn't have a root strategy. I'm hoping this one does. I found strategies online with broken links, etc. But I am wondering if anyone could give me a tutorial, even though there is already some forums. It is running Marshmallow 6.0.1

I'm actually finding many tutorials on how to flash it. It's quite unclear. Could you tell me how?

Any encryption error after boot up?If not how did you know it's trying to hard reset the device.Actually I can hardly understand what you are trying to say. I need full details or logs.And how come your device not booting up after flashing the stock rom via sp flash tool.Providing log would be helpful to understand.

What do you mean "It does not say which settings to have enabled or disabled"?I gave you the right tutorial to flash your device correctly.I didn't say it will enable or disable something.It will just recover your phone from bricked.And by the way you are not explaining much about your device problem.Just tell me what you really want to say.you couldn't flash the device correctly?If you see any error message show me that.

(Requesting delete on my first post)
I was screwing around with my newly rooted Lenovo Tab 2 A8-50F, specifically with SuperSume. Trying to change king roots crappy SuperSU to the official SuperSU, when it wouldn't boot past the logo, so being the idiot i am. I tried hard resetting it. It wouldn't go past a sliver of the progress. Could anyone give me a tutorial on how to fix my device?
It seems like EVERY tablet I get doesn't have a root strategy. I'm hoping this one does. I found strategies online with broken links, etc. But I am wondering if anyone could give me a tutorial, even though there is already some forums. It is running Marshmallow 6.0.1

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
do some research of this topic on your own before you take a look at it. YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you, all, at the same time.
You have been Warned.
Sorry if I am posting so late, but I have successfully rooted the SM-T350 a bunch of times. First of all you will need ODIN and then you will need the TWRP file for SM-T350.
(I chose the Lollipop version of TWRP because it is still compatible with the Marshmallow version of SM-T350 and it also is compatible with 3rd party apps while the Marshmallow version of TWRP is not compatible.)
You will also need SuperSU.
1) Download ODIN (look above for link) and then download TWRP for SM-T350. Also download SuperSU.
2) Before you turn off your Android device, transfer the download SuperSU to your preferred location in the device. Also go to Settings > About Device > Tap on Build Number 7 times until you see the Developer Mode On notification. Then you have to go to Developer Settings and then tick the USB Debugging Mode to on.
3) Open ODIN, plug your device (must be turned off completely) and then press AP in the ODIN application.
4) Locate the .tar5/.tar file of TWRP and select it (open it for ODIN).
5) Go back to your device and then go to Download Mode (Volume Down + Power Button + Home Button).
6) ODIN will say "Device Added!"
7) That's when you press Start in ODIN and then your custom recovery should be installing.
8) When it says finished, unplug your device from the computer and then your device should reboot.
9) After rebooting, turn off your device again and then go to Recovery Mode (Volume Up + Power Button + Home Button)
10) Locate the SuperSU .zip file and flash it through TWRP!
Happy Flashing!

LG Stylo 2 Boost Varient Permanent Root Accomplished!

PLEASE HIT THANKS IF THIS WORKS FOR YOU
ok guys i got permanent root there is one pre qualification you will need to accomplish this you must be on software version LS775ZV3 currently this is the only version that can get temp root from kingroot which is what you will need to start this process. ok so if your one of the lucky ones that have that software version and didnt update go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/one-click-root-tool-android-2-x-5-0-t3107461 and download the latest version of kingroot which i believe is 4.9.6 install it and run it and get temp root, after you verify that your phone is rooted what we need to do now is replace kingroot with super su without rebooting the phone a softboot is ok the temp root will stick with a softboot your going to have to go to the link and follow the guide there to replace kingroot with super su using terminal emulator http://forum.xda-developers.com/a310/general/how-to-remove-replace-kingroot-kinguser-t3308989 . so after you follow that guide kingroot will be gone and super su is now on your phone. super su will ask you to update the su binary make sure to use the normal option, after you press that button it will start to update but will fail so what your going to have to do next is install (Root) FlashFire to install the su binary update manually which can be found here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.flash&hl=en and the su binary zip file can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 . i recommend the stable version, download that zip and put it at the root of your internal memory after you do that and install FlashFire on your phone its time to get down to business open FlashFire when it asks for root permission make sure to grant it after that hit the + symbol then press the button that says "flash zip or ota" when it opens it will show the content of your internal memory locate the su binary zip file that you put there earlier and press it to load it up to flash, make sure the only thing checked is the "mount/system read/ write" and hit the check mark to ok it then hit the wipe button and make sure the only two things checked are the "Dalvik cache" and the "Cache partition" hit the check mark to ok it. after that scroll down to the very bottom and hit the flash button after that it will start to flash the updated su binary and then it will reboot and i know it seems scary but the red notification light will stay on until it reboots all the way and there will be red text that pops up and says boot verification fail it scared the hell out of me i thought i bricked my phone again anyway give it a minute or two to boot and once its done and boots into android you have a fully rooted LG Stylo 2 like i said i have the boost variant not sure about the other versions but these steps are pretty universal on any android device also just so i don't get blamed do this at your own risk im not responsible for you messing your phone up but it worked for me perfectly i have restarted my phone normally a hundred times and root is there every time anyways enjoy im not much of a developer so please don't ask me about custom recoveries or custom roms i don't do that but now that we have root maybe a developer might come in and help or something.

when you remove the battery and restart the phone is it able to boot back into android? not sure why it would hang just follow the steps to a T it should work, this is the exact same way they rooted the kindle fire 7 5th gen with blocked bootloaders as well that is why I said its pretty universal and not device specific but if your phone is fine just reboot and retry.

I've rebooted and retried multiple times over and always have the same issue. My phone has always had the red writing when you first power it up, ever since I rooted it with KingRoot anyways. Is there anyway to get it back to 100% stock? Would that help? And when I say 100% stock I mean above and beyond wiping it

You must be getting some error message on the black screen. It usually fails if the framework is incorrect.

Make sure your phone isn't Version 4. If it is....then that's probably your issue. This method only works for Version 3 not 4

Hhhhhmmmm......I would say to put all your info that doesn't expose you up on here so people know of your issue. Speak to an admin or the OP and see what info they would require to be posted. Every article I've read so far has been positive when it comes to V3 on Boost variant of Stylo 2. Unfortunately I have V4; so I'm patiently waiting.

Silly Me.
