[q]Soft brick RAZR ANY SOLUTION? SBF FILE? - Motorola Droid RAZR

MY RAZR IS IN STATE OF SOFT BRICK, WHEN WILL ISSUED AN ORIGINAL ROM file-base SBF TO FLASH WITH RSD LITE? PLEASE HELP ME!

Have you tried hard reset it?

yes but doesn't work, i wait a sbf file to flash with rsd lite!

I do not believe they make sbf's anymore they switched to fxz's with the bionic but either way you may be waiting a while

Yea if I were you go exchange it

OP, how'd you do it?

I accidently uninstalled Blur, now the text message app, contacts, and pretty well everything don't work. Anyway to get it back
P.S. I figured since we are on the topic of soft brick, why waste a thread.

Hmm and this is why Verizon is so strict on returns/exchanges now. People messing up their own phones and stating its a manufacterer defect. Not to sound rude or anything, but perhaps a little research was in order first? That or atleast wait for a sbf if you're going to be delete happy.

I would advice against it. I played with fastboot flash and although it said flash fail, the next time I turned on my phone, I would go straight into the fastboot menu with a Fastboot (Fail Flash). If anyone do encounter this error, there is a easy fix (at least for me), just hold vol up+vol down when turning on, and select Normal boot. Done.

If you've got a system.img with the right files and signatures, you'll be able to recovery your system in most cases.

Any instruction on how? i have all of the IMG files because i have a back up

why not have someone share a dump with you?

Im having a similar issue i was replacing some stock apps with adb by pushing them and rebooted when i was done. Now im stuck in a bootloop and i cant connect the phone to adb with the usb no matter how hard i try.

thars sys dump
Thars a sys dump in razr form that should Fix it. Ps i want sbf or a stock flash
---------- Post added at 02:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:43 AM ----------
For the stock apps gust facter rest aka flash data it reinstalls them only stock ones and superuser

have you try flashing your phone using fastboot files like explained in developers section..?

system dump
Not sure if I have what you need but I have the Motorola Droid Razr Xt910 Rogers. I did an ADB bull of the system folder and zipped it. If you need that I'll upload to Megaupload or something.
If you need an .img file you'll have to give me instructions on how to do it. I've been having trouble trying to get the partitions pull such as modem, system, kernal, etc.

Should we do the Adb or softbrick it? I saw that there is a softbrick recovery on another thread

[Q] Droid X2 stuck in boot loop

Friend got a new Droid x2. Path that got us here:
1. rooted using Gingerbreak
2. installed Titanium Backup, and removed "unused" programs
3. contacts now force closes
4. titanium backup won't restore missing system apps
5a. get copy of x2 /app/ directory from here:
Droid X2 system dump, wallpapers, ringtones - Android Forums
5b. copied all files from .zip above into a new directory
5c. copied all files from my droid x2s /app/ directory into directory from above, overwriting any that already exist
5d. copy the combined files back to my x2's /app/ directory
6. reboot... again and again and again
I'm guessing it's a permissions issue... but is there any way out of it? other than waiting for a .sbf?
When booting the x2 in 'fastboot' mode, it shows up in Windows as "mot single adb interface", however, "adb devices" doesn't list any...
try this fastboot it works for me
Sorry... Fastboot is brand new to me... What should I do with it?
I was in a bootloop after I got done using gingerbreak, and all I did was a hard reset on the device thru recovery. It fixed it right up.
Fastboot?

I'm not trying to shut you down for chiming in. I'm truly interested if you do have any img files for the X2 as I have a unit stuck at the moto logo myself.
Android recovery won't fix it and it won't respond to adb so my only alternatives are fastboot or rsd lite which require an img file or sbf file respectively. I'm not even sure the X2 would allow a copied boot.img to be flashed in fastboot.
So please don't take offense to my question -- I'm just trying to learn more myself.
Progress? I guess we are able to (attempt to) run an update.zip file... but the update.zip file I found online saying it was for an x2 was actually for the original droid X.
Does anyone think it's possible to create my own update.zip file for the x2 that resets permissions on the files I copied over?

The only way you can flash an update.zip is if it is signed. You can try creating one but since it is not a signed zip I doubt that it will be able to be flashed.

On the contrary. It will if you have used the bootstrap recovery app to boot to recovery mode but never went back and set it to charge only in the app.
In other words, once you boot to recovery using the app, it will always boot to recovery when the phone is off and you plug it in. If, after you've booted to recovery, you reboot and then go back in to the bootstrap app and set it to charge only, then it will only charge the phone when it's off and you plug it in. That's how it works for me anyway.

I agree. Even if I have installed BSR before shutting it off and plugging it in has never resulted in BSR for me I install BSR every time for it to work.

You shouldn't have to install it each time. Once you've installed it all you should have to do is open the app and click reboot recovery (or whatever). After that, it should work as I described.

not sure why. I am on eclipse 1.3 and I just bootlooped the other day. I pulled my battery and put it back in. plugged it into the wall and it booted into recovery. then I restored my backup. I wonder if bootstrap being built into the rom had something to do with it.

Restore to stock

I'm sorry if the answers to my question have been answered but I can't find them after searching for a few days.
I need to send my Atrix in for a repair or replacement. It is unlocked and rooted running Turl's CM9 right now. Obviously I can't send it back as is, so how should I go about everything?
Flash an SBF, flash a fruitcake rom, or something else that I haven't stumbled upon?
The only threads I could find are from a year ago and so much has changed since then. I just want to be sure I go about this the correct way. And should I go through ATT or Motorola? I know my phone is still under warranty with both.
Thanks for any help! It is much appreciated!
"Always have an exit strategy"
You can flash a fruitcake but the "unlocked" text will remain so you can hope for the best.
Or you can try an SBF (Disclaimer: at your own risk).
How long have you had it? Usually if you have had it for more than 30 days AT&T won't help but if you are still under "warranty" with them I would try AT&T first.
If you can't find a way to return your phone back to stock you can try Motorola, they might just overlook the modifications you have done.... or they might charge you a service fee...... or they might just send the phone back to you. It really depends on who ever is processing your claim and the mood they're in.
Also, please don't start multiple threads on the same topic.

OK thanks. I had read that if I use the Motorola Software Update tool it will erase the "unlocked" text. I don't know how true that is though.
And sorry about the multiple threads, its just annoying not being able to use half my keyboard in portrait. Just was hoping for some quick answers.
Thanks again for the quick response

I had restored a few times to stock.
I do that:
Reboot in fastboot mode and fastboot - w, fastboot erase system, fastboot erase cache, fastboot erase preinstall.
Turn phone off and pull out sim card and sd card.
Reboot in rsd mode (olding vol+ at boot) and flash your sbf with rsd lite.
That's all.

Ok, you don't happen to have a stock sbf file? I can't find one anywhere.
Also, why is it that we shouldn't flash sbf files? It seems that people have success with them but everyone keeps saying not to do that. But I can't find a stock flashable zip and the fruitcake links are dead so sbf seems to be my last resort.
I'm just stuck scratching my head because of all this confusion?

Look in the firmware superthread, in the last pages someone have a link in his sign to a page of many stock sbf files. I found there my updated one.
I always got succes with rsd lite but only with a full wipe with fastboot before it say "pass" at the end. Otherwaise it say to 'manually reboot'.
Don't know why people say "do not use sbf", probably there is a reason, but i think it is the only way to remove the 'Unlocked'
Here links to froyo sbf
and to GingerBread sbf
also you need to delete any folder about apps that need root to work and su folder and anything that presume you have rooted your phone
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
Depending on what build you are currently on you do not want to "downgrade". So if you are on a Gingerbread build (4.5.91 or 4.5.141) do not flash the Froyo SBF. And probably if you are on the 4.5.141 build (2.3.6), it is not recommended to flash the ".91" build. That is where the issues can occur.
I have also used RSD Lite to flash back to stock (a few times) but always use caution. So, for @scarbutt11, do you happen to remember what build you were on before you unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom ROM?

Yeah, I was running stock 4.5.91/2.3.4. I'm on a cm9 build now. I'm not sure if that will matter at all for flashing back to GB? I know I tried cm7 to see if it was just cm9 causing the problems, but it seems it is hardware related.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
Yeah, it depends on what "Official" build you were last on. Since you were on "4.5.91" then I would just use that SBF. Like someone else mentioned, it is possible to use RSD Lite, just use caution.

okay i have tried everything i know with no luck. i can use the phone to receive calls and texts just cannot send either. can use the voice search to get to the browser. still cannot load the screens just get miuihome has stopped message. i somehow lost the recovery and cannot get back into it to do anything. i used the android recovery to wipe data and cache with no luck. ive tried to use adb and fastboot to flash things with no luck. im really at my wits end. no sbf files will work
flash fails either it wont enumerate or product id fails im using rsd lite. i love this phone and miui but this sucks and i know its my fault for tweaking stuff but there doesnt seem to be an answer. any help is greatly appreciated.

If you can boot into RSD try sbf for 2.3.4 or even back to 2.3.3. I had issues before with 2.3.4 not performing a clean sbf. It would say it was completed but it would not wipe the phone. But when I would sbf 2.3.3 it would work fine. Worth a shot.

I thought you could only install signed packages in the stock recovery. Is this different with the MX2?
nothing works
cant flash anything from stock recovery other than signed packages. is there anyway to flash a recovery from adb or fastboot. i can get to both of them along with rsd but cannot sbf as i have found out i have an mx2 stock with 2.3.6 and cannot sbf down to anything else. im reeally stuck here.

You cant flash anything using the stock recovery. You need a custom recovery. I dont know what the milestone x2 uses, but if its the same as the Droid X2, its the bootstrap recovery.
i cant get to my apps to run the recovery app. i really dont know what to do at this point, but i can use the phone to receive calls and text just cant make any because i error saying phone or messaging has stopped. can i flash the bootstrap in fastboot or adb i have tried but not real proficient with either.
okay done some reading im using rsd lite 5.4.4 and have been trying to flash the zips, just read the i must extract it first. is this so....

Someone else chime in if its different for the Milestone X2.
ionicone, bootstrap is not a flashable zip. it is an .apk file (app). Put it on your sd card and install it like a normal app. Then open it and follow the directions. I don't know how different the Milestone X2 is from the Droid X2 but thats how what we use and thats how we do it.
I may be misunderstanding but if nothing else works, SBF and start over.
---------- Post added at 12:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 PM ----------
And SBF should work as long as you can get into the normal recovery mode. I dont know why else SBF files wouldnt work for you.
i may not be very clear on my problem, but i cant install anything on the phone because of the error message it wont go away just says miuihome has stopped. everything i try to sbf through rsd lite fails but im in the process of extracting and trying that one has already failed trying another now.

What exactly did you change to make this happen in the first place?
If it was just the LCD density, try pushing the original build.prop file into the system folder. Since, I believe thats where the DPI is controlled. Or if you can get into with root explorer or something, change it back manually.
it was the lcd density property. can i rip this from the backup i have stored on my pc and push it through adb.
as far as sbfing this is what my phone says
SVF:106:2:3
sec_exception: b655, eddc, eb
thanks for replying btw

You should be able to. Just make sure the permissions are rw-r--r--
You can get it from your backup or pull it from the ROM you flashed
Why don't you just factory restore and cache then reboot from the menu and it should be fixed

tried that it does nothing, and now after trying to flash stuff through fastboot i may have bricked it. going to cspire today to see if i can warranty this one out.
update
cspire will let me warranty this one out, i will not root again until things are more stable as in an unlocked bootloader. thanks to everyone that tried to help.
They won't unlock the bootloader for a long time so don't get your hopes up and wasn't this your own fault?

my electrify is unlocked and rooted, been running th3bills cm10 for several weeks, also tried miui aokp and others. all great roms and great work!!
i was changing my keyboard on my phone and ran into trebuchet stopped working and couldnt get it to do anything. i tried reflashing the rom without wiping hoping it would fix it but it did. i did a reset and wipe and reload of the rom and it still stopped working. i then decided to, while in recovery, partition the sd card mount just cause i like to learn and i do that by trying thing, anyway, when i did it hung up for like 5 mins. thought it was kinda long so i pulled the battery. At this point im not sure of all the steps i took to get cm10 on my phone but it took a lot. after i put the battery back in and started the phone the screen comes on, says unlocked up in the corner but no red dual core symbol, instead it has this on the screen.......................................

electrify rooted unlocked and running th3bills cm10
Its not erased. Your boot logo is erased and possibly your PDS partition is lost too. Just means you can't activate PR update your prl normally anymore.

To fix, restore your PDS through CWM, and also flash a boot logo through fastboot or cwm with a flashable zip.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Looking into that now. In the meantime....is it going to have bad affects on my ROM. Also do you know where to get files needed to fix?
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
No. I actually prefer it that way. Its just an issue whenever you sbf back to stock and your phone attempts to activate itself.
As far as files and such, search via Google or xda for PDS fix, it'll show either a thread for the atrix or photon.
And then search for boot logos to flash.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
So just to clarify.... when I sbf back to stock I will have to do what to activate?
Will I have to dial *228 or what will I run into for issues?
I have already done a lot of Google searches and found the file you spoke of last night for the atrix (does it matter?) and instruction on how to push it to my phone.
Just trying to be ahead of the game and have my info before moving forward. Phone is running great with no issues so far.
Basically picking your brain for knowledge and help before I soft brick or some sh** and have to lock my bootloader to get my phone back.
So....... thank you very much for your help and insight into this. Had never seen it before.

Follow that link and since your bootloader is unlocked, use fast boot to flash. download the PDS gingerbread zip and unzip.
Doing that will allow you to ota update in case you revert to stock.
For flashing a boot logo, follow this link and read a few posts into it to find a cwm-flashable zip to restore your boot logo: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1187337
***Don't sbf with the uscc sbf because it will lock your bootloader. ***

I believe this is the question and then i'll leave you alone for a day or so lol
Do i have to be on a stock rom to do this or can i do it on th3bill's cm10 or other custom roms?
To you hoslayer13.... you have been a wealth of knowledge! I tip my hat to you sir!
To answer your question, yes you can be on a custom rom to do this but before you do check your PDS partition first. I am pretty sure there will be only a lost-found folder with nothing in it.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Yes it is just an empty folder. Using file manager that comes with cm10 that comes with root access in the root directory I find a folder "PDS" and it is empty. I'm going to push the fix now and will update my results.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
I flashed the fix and have noticed to Ill affect on the ROM so far. Also flashed boot logo. Working great!
Thanks again hoslayer13!!
Thank you xda! Always there!

[Q] Stuck on Fastboot Very confusing phone

Hi all
I purchased what seemed to be a xt910 from ebay once arrived it worked on the android gb retailasia.03 , what was weird about it is that the outside was branded with verizon and behind was written on the phone xt912 while the about page said it was a XT910.
On the phone was superuser which i guess it had to be rooted
I messed up and used Matt's utility to tro to update the phone to ics and got stuck in a bootloop it wont start , go into recovery or anything i have been trying to flash with verizon ics , gb , asiaretail ics and gb it is very confusing since i dont know if it's a verizon or xt910 orignally.
I have not been updating over 4.0.4 since i read that once you update you can't turn back although i tried to update it never booted and received errors on RSDLITE 5.7 cdt.bin Failed on every time
I was low on battery and ordered a factory cable from ebay , If this is helpfull
I am hopeless and gave it to a shop , of course he couldn't do it so this is my last resort and anyn help will be much apreciated i couldn't even use and tryout this amazing phone and yet i have it 1 month stuck on fastboot
I am currently located in israel and people just don't know this stuff here
i will provide pictures as well and hope some of you can help me since i am a noob in this and it's way more complicated then i expected
IT will be greatly apreciated
thanks!

Hello jerjer
Did you clear data / factory reset it at least twice in a row? Before and after using the utility? Many times boot loop is easily fixed this way.
Sorry to state the obvious but first things first right.

Thank you for responding , you mean in mat's utility? which i used 1.7 ? i can't access anything in the boot menu when opening recovery it will reboot in ap fastboot mode.
thank you
From recovery not from matts util. Access by holding vol up and down then pressing power. Clear data twice from recovery, use mats util then, clear data twice again.
I am not a guru but I can at least suggest what I would try

I understand well i tried what you say the motorola red logo appears for 1 second after pushing the recovery option and then goes back to Fastboot it doesnt go further to the option of wipe/data i think i must have corrupted the bootloader or something
Thanks for trying to figure it out

I would really like to make this phone work and for this reason i am giving out a reward (donation) to the one who goes with me through the process and help me unbrick my phone
Thanks!
If you are using a XT912 with a asiaRetail Rom,just flash a XT912 4.1.2 Rom through RSD Lite.

Follow the steps below.
1.Doawload a RsdLite,you can find it online.
2.Download a XT912 Jellybean Fastboot
File on internet.
3.Connect your phone to the computer with AP mode.(You can get into AP mode with this way ress the volume - button and power button about 10 seconds,when the screen turns into black,release the power button and keep pressing the volume button.)
4.Run the RSDLite,pull your Fastboot file into the RsdLite window,click the button in the middle.Wait the process over and the phone will reboot automaticly.
If your really can solve the problem in tjis way,dont give any donation to me,donation isnt the reason why I want to help.
