Alright, I was running CM9 v13 until last night, but needed my camera for work(nothing portrays an accident scene better than a picture!), so I decided to reflash 198.7. Something terribly went wrong.
Read so many different threads and flashed so many different sbf's my head is spinning. I do know that when I power up and press up I get RSD, and if I power up and press down I can go through the menu. I even tried fastboot and attempted to follow some of these steps with fastboot. http://www.atrixforums.com/forum/rescue-squad/5358-alien-install-gone-bad-bricked-recovered-still-screwed-up-4.html
I am thinking that the bootloader isn't fried since I can get into the menu system, but even after flashing 198.7 if it doesn't fail it cycles through the never ending bootloop. When it does fail I get the following error on the device screen: SVF:106:1:2 sec_exception:b655, eddc, eb
Luckily I have seen Gman floating around here, so since he assisted big time with the atrix issue, I am hoping that he can assist me.
I don't have skype though...
I will have internet access tomorrow, but can't install anything to my work computer(toughbook, locked down like a fiend!)
Ideas? Not looking for a beatdown. Asking for help, from the community.
EDIT: Just saw this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1394982For some odd reason I think this is what I did. Now it appears as though I am royally screwed!
Thank you,
Medic
You didn't have a nandroid backup of a blur rom you could have used? That would have been better than sbfing back to stock.

When I got stuck in moto logo loop with no backup available I had to boot into recovery and factory reset then reboot. If you can use menu with power + down. On 154 sbf, then flashed 198.7 after booting again

You need to factory reset or wipe before flashing a sbf. However all you need to do to get a camera is flash a blur rom like skinny or rocko, or even cm7. When you're done you can wipe and flash back. I do it all the time

Grrr, I must have flashed the Electrify ROM. It boots into it, but has to make the phone call to activate. Can't bypass it. The Electrify has a locked bootloader?
Fastboot, RSD, and ASR work, or at least I can access them. Tried wiping date/factory reset, but it boots back into the Electrify ROM.
Not thinking my local rep will be able to help me out on this one!
Any other ideas?
Edit* Bypassed using the no bp option. Unable to root using Shabby's aio. Goes through the process, reboots, but when I attempt to launch system recovery it reminds me that I don't have root privs.
jokersax, why in your post for CM9 do you tell people that if they want to switch off of CM9 they have to sbf? I've nandroid'ed back without problems to stock, and it's a lot safer than flashing sbf's since everyone seems to temporarily brick.
it actually say just to wipe and flash a different rom. The sbf is to return to stock

Okay, now I am rooted and have bootstrap installed.
Looked in the about phone section, and duh, I am running 45.1.190 for the Electrify.
Any idea how to get this off of my phone?

I had a similar issue. Unlocking the boot loader I used the Sbf for the Electrify by mistake and not the Pudding.sbf. Only it bricked my phone sticking it on the moto bootup and just giving me some errors and going nowhere from their. Now I'm just spit balling here, but I have a prediction on how you can fix, do some research to make sure this may work and not brick your phone:
1) Unlock your bootloader using Pudding.sbf
2) Use Bootstrap to Install CWM for Photon
3) goto the mounts and storage menu select format system
4) Once that finishes go back and select wipe data/factory reset and then wipe dalvik cache and cache partition
5) After wiped go to the advanced menu select reboot recovery
6) Once it goes back to recovery Power off
7) Go into RSD (hold power nd Volume up+)
8) Flash the stock sbf
9) boot up
10) I would recommend using Sdk tools Fastboot command -W to erase all user data and cache after everything if it boots up
I would assume this would do the trick, the only thing I'm uncertain of is if you'll be able to unlock. (If it goes through a long method then says failed right at the end then it probably worked) If it doesn't work you can continue the rest of the steps using bootstrap, but If it were me I would want to try to get as much Photon on the phone and Electrify off the phone as possible

This is obvious, but I have to ask, did you do a battery pull and let it sit for a couple seconds and then try to reboot? also it's stuck on mogo, is it showing error 2,3 or 4? Or any error for that matter?
Did a few battery pulls.
No error, just the Moto Dual Core Screen.
I contacted one of my friends who is a rep, and he will strip the phone, and exchange it. Helps that his boss has a Mopho and he is getting one in a few days.
Thank you for the help FanBoy_Hunter. Greatly appreciated.
I pick up my new mopho tomorrow.
I am going to leave it stock(sigh).
Was not going to reactivate my crackberry.

Hi, I am pretty new to this stuff, so bear with me here.
I recently rooted and installed eclipse v 0.5. Everything went well except I did not get my contacts and figured I did something wrong in the original ROM. I decided to go back to my original rom...but decided to wipe data because I thought that was the right thing to do. Now I have no idea how to restore the nandroid backup because I don't know how to get to clockwork recovery.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks

That Might Have Been Read Wrong, By Flashing Recovery I Meant Pressing The Install Button. To Me That's Flashing The Recovery.
Have you tried just plugging in the phone to the wall charger. Yes wall. And wait to see if it goes to recovery mode.
If it doesn't work all I think you can do is sbf and start again.

ok:
what do you do if said event happens where your recovery doesn't load through after the rom installs with the wipe/cache wipe
your phone boots, however your usb conditions are stuck on usb mode rather than charge mode.
the initial setup starts but is stuck in a loop of force closes that never end.
i have successfully used Roms in the past, no big deal. when **** hits the fan i use sbf; but i'm stuck in limbo where both recovery and sbf are seeming to be out of my options - unless i can change usb mode to charge mode by some strange form of buttons pressed.

EDIT: the problem was in the RSD version i was using, i got everything working now. thanks!
First of all, THANK you for making progress on freeing our phones!
I have read every thread I can find on this, but I cannot find an answer to my specific problem.
I will try to make this brief.
Now onto my problem.
I am on Gingerbread 2.3.4
I tried yesterday to go to CM7
I followed the directions posted here.
I get to step 12 on the " HowTo: Perform a bootstrap (or nandroid) backup and recovery of your Motorola Droid X2" where I am tapping recovery mode and the phone reboots - but when plugged into a wall charger, I get stuck at the dreaded dual core screen.
Since this happened, I have went into my ASR and selected wipe cache, wipe partition and also did the factory data reset while the phone was booted up.
Even in this state, which should be reset to factory if I understand this correctly - when I plug into a wall outlet, it still will not boot past the dual core screen.
Any ideas?
One question I have is, how do I wipe davilik cache?
Please help!!

to wipe dalvik cache you go into advanced and then scroll down to dalvik cache and then if you want wipe battery stats. That should work out of it all. If anything, sbf back to 2.3.4, root, and then retry with the OG bootstrap and see where that takes you
No matter what I do, various combinations of putting the stock bootstrap back in, it will not reboot while plugged in. It freezes on the dual core screen.
I have done a full wipe, it still will not boot while on AC.
Ideas?
You are trying to boot What Rom???
If you have already flashed cm7 you MUST allow it to boot ( do a stock recovery wipe if needed-stuck @ m) then install cm7bsr.apk.

are you running the bootstrap while plugged in? try untethering it, running BSR then plugging it in when your phone turns off.
What I want to accomplish is running CM7.
I am currently running 2.3.4.

sorry, bro, are you booting into the bootstrap (BSR) while you're plugged into the wall outlet? If you are try to run BSR while not plugged into <the wall> and then once the phone shuts off [black screen] plug it in and then see if it boots into BSR.
You can boot to blur 234.
reinstall our old bsr and get it working.
This should get you to cwr.

Then flash cm7 and gapps then wipe all three than flash rerecovery.cm7
I would suggest SBFing back to stock 2.3.4 blur and then follow the steps in the OP for cm7. Seems your very setup is very screwed up at this point. Sometimes it is just easier and faster to do a quick SBF and start over. Just my two cents
Well through some combination of things, it looks like I am magically in CM7.

try dialing *228 option 2 This will reconfigure your signal from cell towers

I tried that. The phone will not make it past the black screen with the Motorola logo. And I get the modem message across the top.
Sounds like the radio is burned out. No fix for that unless you want to break out the soldering iron
That's what I figured. I have another phone on the way. I was able to do a factory reset. Would this remove the root. Phone was rooted with Pete's one click root tool.

Not ENTIRELY true.
While flashing a sbf file using RSDlite, you are setting all the system and proprietary things back to completely stock. It will remove root access, and all that junk, along with all, the things that came from mods/tweaks/hacks/roms
BUT flashing sbf BY ITSELF alone will NOT wipe away ANY user data. You MUST data wipe from stock recovery to do that. This is why sometimes you boot loop,after sbf flash , and you need to data wipe to cure those boot loop blues, cuz sometimes there are things left over that you tweaked that didn't get wiped out after flashing the sbf, but they get removed from a data wipe from stock Android recovery.
To sum up:
For a TRUE OUT OF BOX FACTORY CONDITION(i.e. You just bought and opened the box) MUST flash sbf file using RSDlite with a computer. AND THEN after that, you wipe data/cache from stock Android recovery.
I'm willing to bet that would have also fixed you issues with not being able to boot past Motorola screen as well. Cant hurt to get a new one, but if you can compare them to see which is in better working order, then it couldn't hurt to do.
Either way, if youre going to send it in, and want to erase traces of root and such, then you need to do more than just data wipe. You NEED to sbf AND data wipe.

This is absolutely true. The error "Modem did not power up (2)" is something that I have been dealing with as well. I'd love to work with someone to figure out the problem, but it is probably not hardware. I encountered this error for the first time 2 weeks after installing Eclipse 2.2.1. I solved it by SBF to Stock. Once I had re-installed a stock ROM the error went away and the phone operated normally. I just had this error pop up again almost exactly 2 weeks after installing CM7 RC1. When I get home I'm going to SBF to stock and hopefully that will correct the issue (again). I tried clearing my cache and then clearing my data through stock recovery, but that won't correct the error - and unfortunately the error happens before BSR boots so I can't Nandroid back to a healthy setup and see where the problem is. Both times I lost signal on the phone, re-booted, and then got stuck at the Red M with the Modem error. :crying:
I'm going to try to load CM7 again, but it's pretty awful to have this happen at work and suddenly be without a functional phone. (Maybe I have to install RSD Lite on my work computer ...)
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated but I can tell you that ashclepdia is right, it is probably not a hardware problem. It seems to be a problem with rooting/flashing on certain handset builds.
I was curious to see how ICS worked so I finally gave in and flashed Black Widow ROM. I followed this exact instructions:
Requirements:
•Android Version 2.3.6 (6.12.17x - 6.12.181)
•Safestrap 1.09 or Bootstrap v2 (safestrap 1.07 will not work)
•Download and move zip/s to sdcard-ext
•Reboot into Recovery
•Create a Backup! (dont say i didnt warn you)
•YOU MUST Wipe Data/Factory Reset
•Wipe Cache partition
•(in Advanced) Wipe Dalvik cache
•(in Mounts and Storages) Format System
•Install zip from sdcard
•Flash ROM (do not flash Gapps or DarkGapps)
•Reboot System now
This isn't my first time using Bootstrap. I flashed many ROMs using it on my D2. It installed and then I rebooted. Now it sits on the screen with Motorola symbol with Dual Core Technogoly. I did make a backup but I'd really like to use this ROM before reverting back. Any suggestions?

If it's stuck at the M logo you'll probably have to RSDLite back to GB. Remember, that M logo can be there for up to 5 to 6 minutes on the first boot, if that's not applicable then fastboot that bad larry back! (I got to be VERY proficient at flashing back, let me know if you need help)
Is there anyway I can get my phone in working order without having to RSD back to GB? I don't understand why it didn't work when I follow the instructions and I have experience in flashing.

I haven't really messed with Safestrap or bootstrap that much, I tend to just run one OS. The problem is that you can't even get to the start up screen for those. Simple when you think about it, right now (if i understand correctly) you're stuck at the M, which leaves you only 1 possible way out of that screen and that's to send it to recovery which will only wipe or RSD your phone.
Anyone else think of any other options that he has or experience with this ROM??
Yea I went to stock recovery to wipe data/cache just to see what happened. Of course that didn't do anything. In order to RSD, what screen do I need to be on? I assume the screen its frozen on will not be the screen I need.

You'll need to hold down both Vol buttons when you power it up then go to AP Fastboot. Do you need a link to the tutorial? You can YouTube RSDLite DROID RAZR and should get plenty. Let me know if you need any additional info.

Not sure how I can check this....phone was on 66% before ROM install but screen is stuck on and I don't know how to power off phone. Battery is draining but more than likely slowly.
This was a previous post on another thread and from what I understand it works:
"Try following Steps:
Boot in AP Fastboot > Connect your Wall Charger > Press Power
If you're a lucky your RazR will pass the red M and jump into the Battery Screen.
If your system is broken, you have to order an Factory Cable. With this you can flash the correct system signed or use the modded Utility for CDMA Leaks, to get your Phone back to life."
When they say "Factory Cable" is this not just a USB cable?
Nope. Its different from what i understand. Thanks for reminding me to get one on eBay before all the ICS madness starts. Lol.
I mean you can risk it but I've never had to mess with it as I'm almost always above 70% so I'm kinda out of the loop on that problem.

I tried what you said...Went to AP Fastboot and it only goes back to the Motorola screen. So am I completely screwed here? Thought I need that screen to RSD?

You just need to get to the AP fastboot screen then flash it. I think you'll be okay to flash. I've seen people do it with 40%. Just make sure as soon as it boots you put that puppy on the charger.
Should take about 15-20 mins. If you're gonna do it, best to do it sooner rather than later.

I don't even know if I can get to that AP Fastboot screen. When I try it, it does nothing and goes back to my Motorola screen. I'm about to be off work so I can see what happens when I have a laptop around.
Yeah you're gonna need the laptop. Also, when you select AP fastboot you'll want to hit the vol+ button to select it. Hitting the power button just restarts the phone. Vol+ = Enter. That's probably what you did the first time.

Indeed it is. Maybe I can try the charger now.
Yeah, its like learning a foreign language sometimes but with only 3 physical buttons they have to make do. Lol!

Not sure how I can check this....phone was on 66% before ROM install but screen is stuck on and I don't know how to power off phone. Battery is draining but more than likely slowly.

Hold the power button and volume down to force a hardware reboot.

It's actually Power button + volume up and down and yes I've done this.
My photon was locked with bootstrap, joker skinny and my Ginger Cream theme. Because the screen is messed up I'm sending it back to motorola. So I did a factory reset within 198_7, not the bootstrap recovery(this maybe where I messed up?). I then went into RSD mode and flashed 198_7. At his point it goes through with no problem and starts to boot going through the NOW network once. That fails and it boot loops through the moto icon going into the ripples. I've tried flashing it with 154_5 also to no avail. I can get into RSD mode, fastboot and etc.
At this point I think I could add onto my RMA and say it doesn't boot and assume I'm good. Also I assume that I'm good because as to my knowledge unlocking the phone removes warranty not rooting. With that said I would really like to get it booting and only send it to them for the legit reasons and not self inflicted ones.
Any help would rock.
You cannot do factory reset by flashing sbf. You must go in Android recovery, press volume up + down and factory reset there.
Thanks I'll try that tomorrow.

Update:
Worked like a charm, I wasn't able to figure out how to get to the options screen in the recovery so I appreciate the help!
