Hi
I successfully sbf back to stock froyo and just gingerbreak 1.2 and motodx_bootstrap_signed. and then proceeded to add sdcard from zip in bootstrap mode and got upgraded to gb pre rooted with p3droids zip file. heres where i messed up I went to the themes section in xda droidx2 forums and tried to add fukenblack theme it didnt work so i tried to add the stock framework on the post still just boot loop . now when i try to sbf back to froyo i get an rsdlite "error validating files" and ive redownloaded the just in case . any help would be appreciated otherwise i got to wait till the upgrades offered here and say it happened from that
love these communities

First of all, that theme hasn't been ported to GB yet. I made the same mistake, however I was at work and my work computer doesn't allow me to download the tools I needed to SBF etc... I didn't try to revert back to the default with that one download he included, I just started from scratch SBFing back to Froyo and doing it all over again.
If you get that error use 7zip to unpack the sbf file

yeah i cant do the sbf to froyo thats when i get error validating files. i just tried to do the update.zip again and p3droids or verizons both give me an error 7 something about dialer.apk. the loop i get is the droid noise and word looping continuously. hope they release the update here soon so i can call and say it screwed up my phone
thanks for the reply though if anyone else has any ideas id love to try them

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?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
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.

current condition: 2.3.4 stock/unlocked
I'm trying to relock my photon, I tried the quick method by factory reset then flashing back stock recovery, then rsd the nopuddingforyou.sbf file. End result is *failed to boot 1* error.
And I can't pull up recovery via pwr+dwn...screen goes blank with that.
The only way back to booting up android is flashing *derpunLock.sbf* and it still saying unlock at top of screen.
I tried rsd'ing the full 198-7.sbf file.
It completes, reboots phone and same error *failed to boot 1*
Again, only way back to booting android is..
Flash with rsd, the derpunlock.sbf file
Which leaves me with a fresh install and an unlock bootloader.
I was using the root-unlock-relock "kit" lokifish has on his martian imporrium site (sorry if I missed spelled it.
Any suggestions, thanks id appreciated

Can you get fastboot running to reflash CWM recovery? If so, do it, then wipe data/factory reset in CWM, reboot into RSD mode, then flash 198_6 sbf? Try it! Be sure to charge the phone all the way.

Ill try it. I havent wiped thru cwm...i just did it thru the os (do you think they don't work the same?)
Or do you,mean,flash cwm when im stuck at "failed to boot 1"? ? Cause when I'm at that point pwr+vol down is not an option.(phone boots flashes something real quick and goes blank)

You will relock once you wipe and then SBF...but you need to get into fastboot first...so turn off the phone, and then press pwr+vol down...it should say Unlocked fastboot..then hook it up to the computer...reflash CWM if you can..
flash the CWM recovery.img like before and then cmd: fastboot reboot
Reboot the phone into RSD mode..and flash the SBF...

Didn't work...
Same results "failed to boot 1" so I flash derpunlock.sbf then it boots.
Now I'm on stock build 198-6 unlocked.
I don't know why it won't except "nopudding4u.sbf"

154.sbf didn't work either.
"failed to boot 1" got back up flashing derpunlock.sbf.
I'm 2.3.4 build 154.5 unlocked.
On rsd Lite it it always fails to switch to bp pass through.
im using ver. 5.6 is there a better version to work with for photon or is that it.?

Looks like you're stuck unlocked, like I am. I am, because of flashing new radio.

Seems like it but I never flashed a radio...unless it was in the 2.3.5.zip paco released?
But you can move freely to whatever build you want?

No, I cannot flash full sbf normally, I must hack it, after rsd creating image, right before flashing (when the phone reboots), with cg3 and cg42 from derpunlock.sbf, if I remember it right. .
Rsd temp dir is somewhere in user\appdata folder.

I flashed the 154.5.sbf from martian site didn't work out as I hoped.

i have been flashing roms on several phones for many years. i always rely on the devs here at xda to help me through and you guys never fail!!!
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.......................................

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

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.

Hi All,
I have a Droid Razr Maxx (Verizon) which was on 4.1.2 OTA update. I tried to edit the build.prop and messed up. The phone turns on to the Red Moto logo, later goes into the typical Droid Razr graphics and is stuck there for ever (Stuck on Booting?). I am able to enter into recovery, thankfully.
Now can anyone suggest a way to flash only the build.prop to restore it?
Else, can you point me to stock XT912M 4.1.2 so that I can flash getting into recovery?
Or is there is a better way that I could get out of this mess?
Many thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sid

you might want to try using rsd to fully restore the phone. That would also fix your issue. I have done this lots of times. Before you start make sure your phone is charged. Or you will have to buy a USB cable that allows the phone to work with the computer with out charging.
Sent from my XT912 using Tapatalk
In order to flash only build.prop you need to be able to start an adb session and then push the file, or use aroma which executes after boot menu manager so it is not a choice since you can't pass from red logo.
Easier way is rsd flashing a service rom so it will not delete so many files.
