Since I haven't seen a linux based all in one tutorial for SBF_flash to rooting I figured I'd write up a quick one. I apologize if there is another thread and I haven't looked hard enough.
First things first: SBF_Flash
Download the latest stock OTA update for your phone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1437177 (This is the latest update. No other updates will be necessary.)
Download the sbf_flash file - http://www.mediafire.com/?oxoe35bsxtnom69
Unzip both to somewhere easy to manage. (I have them in Documents)
Connect your phone to the computer via USB and turn the phone off.
Now you'll need to boot your phone into the boot loader. To do this you simply hold the up arrow on the keyboard while turning the phone on. This should get you into an all black screen with white text.
Open up the terminal and navigate to folder in which you have unzipped your files.
Type
Code:
./sbf_flash VRZ_A956_4.5.608_1FF_01.sbf
You may need to type sudo in order to make it work. (I.E.
Code:
sudo ./sbf_flash VRZ_A956_4.5.608_1FF_01.sbf
)
That should take between 10-20 minutes to go through fully. Once the process is done and the phone reboots go through the setup process and make sure that everything works right.
ROOTING:
Once you have finished the SBF process you'll probably be pretty happy to have a functional phone. But wait! SUPAH FUNCTIONAL ROOT TIME!!
Download the droid 3 root file. - http://www.mediafire.com/?11k7i927o4sd47g
Unzip it to a easily finable folder.
Make sure that your phone has USB debugging enabled. To do so go to settings->application->check box for usb debugging (that might be off, I'm running a custom rom and can't remember if that's the exact path lol)
Connect your phone to your computer and make sure the charge mode is to PC mode.
Go to the folder in which you've unzipped the root tool folder. Double click the run_to_root_your_ droid3.sh file and click run in terminal. Do as it says and make sure the phone is unlocked. Everytime the phone reboots unlock it again until the script is finished running. It will close automatically.
Once this is done you should be able to look in your app drawer and see super user. If this is the case then WHOOOOOO.
PREPARING TO FLASH A CUSTOM ROM:
So, you're rooted. Cool. You want to flash a new ROM. COOLER! Let's do it.
Go to the android market and search for ROM Manager. Download and install it.
Run the app and THE FIRST THING YOU DO is click the flash clockwork mod recovery button. It's best to do this on WiFi. When the window asking for your phone model pops up click the one that you own. (In this case Droid 2 Global.) Wait for it to finish, it will tell you in a happy little message.
Once that is done Clockwork Mod recovery is oficially flashed. Next thing is next.
Go to the android market and purchase Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap. It's only $2.99 american.
Download and install it. Run it and click Bootstrap Recovery.
It will tell you if it was a success or not.
If it was then you can click reboot recovery and it will boot you into clockwork mod. Make a backup. Then feel free to flash any ROM you want. When you mess up and brick the phone make sure you come back to this guide on how to do it all over again.
Happy hacking!

Hello all great group I have learned many great ways of rooting etc here. Have a HTC Hero that I rooted and run CWM 7 on for over a year no problems and a NOOK Color with same.
Now my friend thinks I am a phone guru, so he gave me his Motorola Photon to do the same. First I unlocked the phone, rooted it and then tried to flash CWM, problem is the phone wont do anything, just shows main screen with, UNLOCKED and the red MOTO logo, tried to reset, clear all data and do a factory re set, and have the same problem. I have searched the threads here and there are so many just cant seem to find what to do.
Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks to all the posters and root/rom experts here, but must admit sometimes I am not sure what you guys are talking about. I can follow directions just need the right ones.

- Use RSDlite to SBF to 198_6 or if you want to start clean, 154_5 and then let the phone update to 198_6 via OTA.
- Reboot the phone and press power+Vol up to RSD mode
- Use derpunlock.sbf and flash that
- Pull the battery to reboot the phone
- Press power and vol down while booting to get into fastboot mode
- Connect the phone to the computer and let the drivers install
- Open cmd window and go through the fastboot commands to install CWM 5.0.2.7
a. moto-fastboot devices (make sure it shows a connection)
b. moto-fastboot erase recovery
c. moto-fastboot flash recovery recoveryXXXX.img (or whatever you've named your recovery)
d. moto-fastboot reboot
- Now that you have CWM...root your phone, or flash a ROM..if you have any questions, watch qbking77's videos or refer to Lokfish's compendium in the DEV section.
Thank you that did the trick
You really came through and helped me out. Now the phone is back to normal
Will be rooting and adding CWM what is a good stable ROM to use.
Thanks again
You may also have to rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh to install-recovery.sh.bak to get it to stick. The MoPho checks the recovery on boot and will re-install it if it isn't the right one.

Thanks all for your help
Thanks for the help and quick reply, will follow your advise. I know rooted and adding the CWM and custom ROM's was one of the best things I could have done for my HTC Hero and NOOK Color, just takes time, for me anyways, to find the links needed for unlocking, flashing CWM, custom ROM's etc.
Is there a place I am missing that lists these mor readily availiabe and organized? I have tried to follow the YouTube videos, but they always state to click on the link which leads back here for the downloads and have yet to find those.
Keep up the great work and I will be keeping my eye on this board

Thanks to all those that replied, everything is back to normal. I just ordered my very own Moto Photon and should arrive by today or sat. Cant wait, believe me will be spending many hours here on the forum and again thanks to all that helped.
Hi guys my girlfriend bought a LG Viper 4G LTE and she told me to root it to remove the sprint crap, so I was wondering if anyone has already done this and if yes, can they tell me how to s-off + root + custom recovery + and probably custom ROM.
If anyone can help, please I'll appreciate it. Since I searched here for that phone and is not even listed.
The phone is running android 4.0.4, is this ICS or Jelly bean?
I do not know how to get into fast boot boot loader cause I don't think it is POWER + VOL DOWN.
Thanks in advanced
Have a nice day

Im trying to root mine right now and can't seem to get it to work, I've tried Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v21 and LG-Viper-ICS-Root-tool with no luck. If i get it to run all the way though and reboot it still comes up without root and with no super user. I am starting to think I may have to find a way to downgrade it and root from there.....Did you ever have any luck?

I can confirm that the above will work. I have a refurbished Viper from Sprint that I got because my 3G radio quit sending. It would receive great, but couldn't send any MMS or upload anything while on 3G. 4G was great, just no joy on 3G. Strangest thing. Anyway, got the phone replaced, and on the replacement was of course the dreaded unrooted ZVK. Gotta have my root back...
So I decided to try all this stuff out, and It worked.
To add a little further info, if you've got a relatively bare install of Windows, especially XP, you might need BOTH the VisualC++ Runtime Redistributables from 2010 (mentioned in the above thread) AND the one from 2008! If you don't have both, the LG FlashTool will not run. You can find them on Microsoft's site.
Once the flash tool has successfully downgraded your Viper, make sure you perform a factory reset, as indicated in the instructions for the FlashTool. Then use the "Activate" app to get your 3G/4G on. After that, set up your Google account under "Accounts and Sync" in "Settings".
I did the whole operation completely on a linux system, using a virtual machine running Windows XP for the FlashTool, then the bash script from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43530152&postcount=3253 with the v.31 rooting tool from the original post in that thread.
I had to edit the script in a very minor way, as was pointed out by its author, so it could find my adb command. I just placed the path to that command in the line that said:
Code:
for test_adb in "adb" "stuff/adb"
in the place of the first "adb", so I got:
Code:
for test_adb in "/home/user/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb" "stuff/adb"
Make sure to replace "user" with your username, without the quotes.
Then I stuck the script in the same folder as the runme.bat file. After the script and root tool had done their work, my phone had rebooted a total of three times, and I had a perfectly functional Superuser app!
Huge thanks to LoveMyAndroid2010 in the post linked above. Great script - some love for linux!
Now to get RootKeeper and upgrade back to ZVK...
The aforementioned root method worked for me. Since I've rooted, I've compiled my findings into another thread. I haven't been able to unlock the bootloader yet, unfortunately.
how to upgrade LG Viper to Jelly bean or higher
After I root as per instructions, how can I upgrade the OS?
Please help. I'm a newbie and would appreciate any help you may offer. Haven't rooted any phone before.
So guys, I'm new to this and thought I would jump in at the deep end.
I unlocked my HTC One X+ easily and set about rooting.
I've got TWRP installed but it keeps telling me it needs to install superuser before it can root.
I have totally wiped the phone, how come if Im not rooted?
How do I get an OS and indeed the kernel or ROM onto the phone?
Its and International OX+, I've got the right kernel... what do I need to do?
It was locked to O2 if that makes a difference
I followed the instruction in Hasson but then wiped the OS
I know its a simple procedure but can someone walk me through it please
So I've downloaded Kernel 3.1.10-ge7581e4
I have no idea what to do next, come on guys I know its not difficult for you guys.

If you wiped as you said, you need to push with adb a rom of your choice to the internal memory of the phone and then install it within twrp.
Please read instructions 2 or 3 times before attempting anything, seems like you rushed and now you're temporarily without phone till you flash a rom on it again. I doubt any root guide tells you to wipe the phone, your own fault on this.
To sum it up:
Put a rom's zip of your choice in the internal memory with adb push
flash the rom within the twrp recovery (install option)
flash the kernel for the specific rom with fastboot (each rom has a guide and download for it)
You can now search about it more easily, plenty of posts and info about this.

Thanks, I did indeed rush into it but I have been meaning to do it for a year and just thought go for it, I know its all salvageable..ish!
So yep, I've got the ROM I want but don't understand the kernel, I see no guide to download it, all I know is I took a note of the Kernel before I wiped my phone and I have managed to find the exact kernel.
The ROM or RUU as it is, is an O2 UK version, I figure it must be the one I want as it was an O2 phone in the UK.
I still don't know what folders to put things in, TWRP can't see a boot.img that I have on the phone when installing, it can only see it through file explorer.
And then, every time I power down the phone TWRP asks to install Superuser, its cant, theres nothing to install it to, so it just keeps asking.
This is all because I hated the Sense 5 update, indeed Im till looking for the Sense 4 ROM fo HOX+

Sigh, if you had read carefully you'd know that boot.img need to be flashed through fastboot and not from recovery. Every rom has this info or a batch file for this.
So what exactly are you trying to do? Root the stock rom that came originally with the phone or installing a custom rom?

Lols, thanks dan, I hope you don't hate me!
Root the stock ROM
For starters..
The boot.img is the Android Revolution HD
The RUU is O2 UK
I do realise they are two different ways of installing an OS, I would just like one of them to work!
So think install RUU, then kernel
But put them where and how
I bought the Android Hackers book, but theres nothing about HOX+ in it, and seeing as that's the only phone, I've got to practise on I thought I would ask you specifically.

I see, the easiest ways would be to use a custom rom now. For example, the one you already got the kernel from(android revolution hd)
To root you dont need to install a kernel... just to flash the supersu zip. Using a custom rom's kernel with stock rom might not be a good idea.
Another simple way would be to restore stock rom back to start and try rooting again, this time reading everything carefully
So the two easiest ways i think:
1) flash a custom rom following the instructions they provide in the initial posts for that rom
2) run the o2 correspondent RUU to restore stock rom (you'd need to relock the bootloader), also reading carefully posts in the forum about restoring to stock
Without getting into too much detail, these are the simplest options.
All the info required to do these are on these forums
Aaarrghhh, its driving me insane as I knew it would, just like XP, Vista Seven and Eight!!!
So Im back to being up all night learning..
Well have installed SDK correctly but device is not seen, no serial, nothing.
I can get it to fastboot though, however I don't know any commands so I cant get it to work
Windows 7 keeps moaning about an mpt file which I downloaded and dont know where to extract it to
All I need to do is copy a few files to the phones sd card and install them right?
Whys that so difficult?
I don't know the difference between a rom an ruu and a boot image, in that I don't know where they should all be placed.
Why cant twrp copy and paste from pc...
So Hassooon works sort of but still none the wiser.
Am following tutorial but fastboot commands are not working
Still cant find right driver.....
So CMD lines not working 100%
So am downloading drivers in sdk manager
And how do I flash the supersu zip?
Still no luck with driver, im on windows 7 32bit
OK I cant push using adb it cant find the file or directory,
Hassooon cant detect the phone as cant windroid universal
I dont think the phone is rooted even though i have twrp on it.
Thus can I have wiped the os?
If not can i restore it?
No I didnt make a backup rom..
mmm a zip on the phone doesnt load in bootloader, count that be my os?
Guys, im stranded in the water here...
On boot im getting...
Failed to open usb master mode
[Preload] Failed to open usb master mode
loading PM35IMG.zip image...
Failed to open usb master mode
please plug off usb
Whats PM35IMG.zip?
Is that the OS?
Am I saved?
Is it easy to get that file to unzip and load?
Can anyone help?
So now I need the right RUU.....
2.17.206.3
Is there anyone out there that can help please?
So have managed to install superuser and root my phone, all instructions for doing this were wrong including Hassoon, had to have the phone in System screen to do it, not bootloader or recovery.
Now cant get adb to push file to sdcard...
Man alive, how to make something very easy, sound very difficult.
Would any of you experts care to help?
Just trying to install a ROM.zip to Root and place the boot img in right place.
Well, the instructions are dire but after 10 days of persistance have installed Android Revolution HD 8, finally my phone is up and running better than the bloated os that came with the phone so, you can call this thread resolved.
Script to fix the Nexus 6P / Nexus 5X Bootloop problem
Credits
99% credit goes to @squabbi for teaching how to patch files yourself and @XCnathan32 for discovering the fix itself.
1% for me for making the script .
DISCLAIMER
THIS PROCESS WIPES ALL YOUR DATA (unless your bootloader is already unlocked) AND PROBABLY YOUR WARRANTY TOO! USE WITH CAUTION! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE!
THIS PROCESS WILL MAKE YOUR PHONE SLOWER (6P 2 times slower, 5X 1.5 times slower)! PLEASE USE ONLY AS A LAST RESORT!
PLEASE CONTACT YOUR WARRANTY TO TRY AND GET A REPLACEMENT BEFORE PROCEEDING!
What does the fix do?
The problem with those phones are the cores of the Cortex A57, and they need to be disabled.
What should you do?
Before proceeding, make sure you have OEM Unlocking enabled on your device, or the flashing won't work!
1. Download the zip below
2. Extract the zip
3. Extract the boot.img from the image you've downloaded (the script explains how to do it if you don't know how) to the folder you've downloaded
4. Open "Script.bat"
You should also download a factory image from this link (unless you live in Japan, don't download the Softbank versions, and unless you live in Australia, don't download the Telstra versions):
6P - https://developers.google.com/android/images#angler
5X - https://developers.google.com/android/images#bullhead
The script itself was not tested, but the method did work on my 5X so it should work.
If you have any requests, you can comment them here, and maybe I'll add them. One day.
I do plan on adding TWRP and Elemental X patching one day, and if there will be many requests that day will come earlier.

Hey! It's fantastic to see people coming in with ways of improving or streamlining the revival process of those with the bootloop of death! I wanted to make a program too but work got in the way haha. I've added this to my 2nd post.
Hi,
Thanks for this method, massively useful for someone who doesn't know what he's doing. I've managed to get past the OEM Unlocking but once I run the script and get passed the prerequisite steps I came to a halt at the Flashing. It just gets stuck at "Waiting for any device". Have I missed something here?
Running ".\fastboot devices" brings up my device, so it is connected.

I spent hours this weekend trying to get mine to work too. I was getting some DLL errors but I just made sure to install the system wide adb/fastboot/drivers (instead of running powershell/Cmd from a specific location). I didn't have to use the .\ prefix and it fixed my DLL errors. Maybe worth looking into for your situation. Sorry I don't have a link handy for the system wide fastboot install, but I definitely got linked from somewhere in XDA to a youtube tutorial.

nevermind, turns out my bootloader is OEM locked so this wouldn't do anything for me until that's dealt with
my first time ever flashing anything, only because i'm being forced to due to Huawei's incompetency, so I'm figuring out a lot of things along the way
at the moment, I just tried the trick to heat the phone up using a hair dryer to force it to use fewer cores just to access developer settings; no luck and still looping
Thank you for the script! I followed the instructions for my Nexus 6P, but after running the script, my phone gets stuck at the boot screen (the Google logo in the center and unlock icon at the bottom of the screen). It's been sitting like that for a few hours now lol.
To confirm, I downloaded the factory image for my 6P, extracted the boot.img from the image-angler-opm5.171019.019.zip file into the script's folder. My phone has TWRP flashed, bootloader unlocked.
Is there anything else I could do to save my phone?

I believe you should try patching the image yourself, because maybe the problem is with the script. Go to this link https://youtube.com/watch?v=PhObuifEp3Y and follow the instructions. If it works, please tell me because I'll need to fix the script.

Thanks for the response! I was actually able to follow the steps here https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74774303&postcount=2, under the 'For Updating a BLOD Device' section and my 6P was able to boot again! I guess I probably had a faulty or incompatible image flashed somewhere before.

Interesting. Maybe I'll add options and make it so you can flash the entire image instead of only the boot image. Would also help people who don't know what image they have right now.
Stuck on loading screen.
My phone is stuck on the loading screen (4 dots moving aroud) any idea?
Hi there
thanks you for help.
I've tested the script with android 7 - 48 c boot file and 8: OPM5.171019.019 boot files. and can't boot phone successfully. I'm used the android kitchen and no success.
My friend has a 5x which fixed with twrp. I was tested this before and I tested the way with him again and we could not fix again.
I think our problem is different, As my 6p sticks on google logo and reboots continuously but his phone sticks on colorful dots. He could boot to recovery mode after using twrp but my device does not enter recovery mode.
I have two question if any body can help.
1. if any one has successful boot please tell the version of OS and twrp that flashed successfully
2. Is there any debug test finding true reason of boot up problem.
thanks
guys I have warranty on my nexus 6p so I could possibly return it, do you suggest I return it to stock (with BLOD) and lock my bootloader to give it back? or is that not necessary?
do I keep explain the situation to them?

You can try to patch the image manually with the @squabbi 's video. Please let me know if that works

Yes because unlocking bootloader and flashing un-stock images voids warranty, so you should clean everything you can and stock it back and tell them that it never happened.

I am really not the person to ask, you should PM @squabbi and ask him.
