good luck, I hope this helps...

Thanks, for your help I'll keep trying but the pudding file just fails to flash i guess because of the soak test bootloader well basically everything fails to flash

sorry to hear that... If I can find anything to help Ill post it..

You would probably get more help if you posted in the correct forum. Not tryin to be an ass, but seriously...
Sent from my CM9ed MoPho!

Actually if its failing on the ota update then maybe your locked in with 2.3.5 now and the pudding file will not flash. That's why it keeps failing. Isn't there spf that you can simply flash of the locked 2.3.5 through rsd

Your bootloader is locked if you updated to the latest soak test version so sbf's won't work. Try the fastboot work around. I'm pretty sure that works on the locked update. I don't have links handy so just search for it.

Well thanks for the suggestions.I got to where i was getting the failed to boot 2 message then reflashed RDL3 and got it to where it doesn't give me that message anymore but unfortunately both my batteries died so i had to cut a charger and I'm waiting for that to charge and i'll let y'all know what happens with fastboot

Now i get a kernel boot error and boot loader error when trying to boot into android.

Can you still see your phone in rsd?

Well after all that I just decided to get a new one hoping it won't have any new update.thanks for all the help though

I am having the same issue here. Downloaded the update just fine on a charged battery as soon as it finished I get the failed to boot 2 staring in rsd mode and nothing after that. I tried RSD lite but it doesn't show in there and have tried other methods but I am lost to this phone. It's rooted but not unlocked. I don't really want to make another thread since this one is here so does anyone have any more advice before I take it in to best buy tomorrow?

There is one solution now, if you don't need 4g. If you want, PM me for links.

Touch Screen Unresponsive

I just flashed my evo 3d to MIUI current build. Install went successfully, however, once it boots I can not get the touch screen to do anything. It brings me to the unlock page, telling me to slide to unlock but unable to do so. Any help on this matter would be much appreciated. Not sure yet if it's just the rom or something went wrong in my unlocking. I used HTCDev Unlocker.

I don't see the download link?
lol, u really should have posted in miui forum, but i would reccommend using adb to reboot to recovery and either reflash or flash back to the nandroid u made before flashing to miui.
This has been answered several times in the miui thread. Plus why start a thread for this??
Anyway, it's because you have to flash the kernel associated with the rom through fastboot.

Having used htcs method to root you can't flash a kernel in the recovery, only through fastboot like I said before. That's your issue.

Help a noob go back in time!

i know this is brought up alot on the forums and theres plenty of answers but im that much of a noob too flashing ect.. that i have no idea what any of these answers are talking about and i need someone to help me through how to do it...
I put gingerblur on my rooted atrix yesterday using this video
youtube.com/watch?v=MvC0C2h95BY&list=FLqfb2F1A2s4Z08JTFsWNuGg& index=4&feature=plpp_video (which involves CMW or something)
meaning i had no idea what i was doing just following step by steps on the video, and ever since my homescreen button and search button dont work and i no longer have a lock screen so i want to go back to stock because i dont like the bugginess!
my phone before i put it on gingerblur was 2.2.2 froyo on tmobile uk (unlocked device with no tmobile branding on the rear cover)
i would really apreciate it if someone could guide me how to turn it back to the software it came with or an official less buggy software please?
i checked my ota upgrade with gingerblur on the device and it says i can go to ATT gingerbread but then im sure this wouldnt work in the uk with the radio update but someone said i can do the ota then just flash the radio to a uk one but i had no idea what that means
im not sure at all what im doing with this and i wish i didnt follow the tutorial in the first place can someone help me please!
i just want to get back to stock or an official software that will work on tmobile uk and not brick my phone.
any helpe is appreciated thank you!
P.S i have CWM recovery does this have anything to do with restoring your phone how it was because it seems to have recovery options?
Did you unlock the bootloader? If you did, and have CWM, just install a ROM of your preference
If you want a hint on what ROM to choose,
Most of the ROMS available are based on 2.3, so consider going with CM7 if you like AOSP or Aura if you want blur
im not sure what a bootloader is all i can say i did was root my phone, then use that tutorial thats all iv done.. ohh ok so rather than being able to go back too a stable stock build i have to stay with roms full of bugs? :/
I'm gonna assume that you have tried a factory reset (most basic thing i could imagine)
I don't think that there are any SBFs for people with the T-mobile version, so i think the only thing you can do is either search for a removal tool or unlock the bootloader, install CWM recovery and then install a ROM.
You should read this. Or you can follow this video guide.
Actually, ROMs can often be very stable and offer way more functionality.
You could always grab a "stock" ROM and install that, should be as close to stable as you can get.
ohh ok well i already have CWM recovery install in my phone so i guess installing a stable rom would be the best option for me? until i can go back to stock by sbf
What version of CWM do you have? How did you install it?

You need to unlock your bootloader before you install a ROM, all hell will prbably break loose elseways..

my phone bootloaded must have been unlocked for me to even put gingerblur on it?
all i have done is used a tutorial to root it and then another that i put in the description to put gingerblur on and now will people please please please just watch the video and understand my sistuation
and tell me step by step what i have to do with links...
so far i understand i should unlock the bootloader but does gingerblur count as me having gingerbread or am i still on 2.2.2?!

Gingrrblur is not a real rom therefore you are not unlocked and do not have a full cwm that you can flash other roms with. Just use an sbf from the firmware thread to get you back to stock gb then if you want to find a radio corresponding to your area on the same thread. Both are flashed through rsd lite
sent from my Atrix via XDA premium
yes, Gingerblur is a pseudo-ROM (p-ROM) and from what I know, it doesn't touch alot of important parts of the phone, for example the bootloader.
I'm guessing your bootloader is exactly the same as a regular 2.2. I guess flashing the IHOP_Bell.sbf and then doing fastboot unlock should do the trick
ok we're getting somewhere
I kinda understand now so could you send me some links in the order I need to so each thing please? One thing I don't want to do is install software from at&t and then have the wrong radio lol from what IV found there's no T-mobile software but is some orange ones and seeing as tmobile and orange are the same company in the uk, so basically I could get official gingerbread software then a T-mobile radio software and put them both on my atrix now I just need to know how to do it

[Q] Not sure as to how to get GB 2.2.4 from Eclipse v 0.8.1 on GB 2.2.3

I just wanna make sure that I don't do something stupid and end up bricking my phone or something. I have the Eclipse v0.8.1 and I want to at least get v1.0 which requires GB 2.3.4. So any help would be greatly appreciated. Thankssss!
Ur probably looking for the Q and A section of the forum not Development and if you read the first 4 or 5 posts from the General section and use the search option there is almost a guarantee you'll have everything you need.
Indeed. Questions go in general/Q&A, Development goes in Development.
You are going to have to sbf to 2.3.4(or 2.3.3 and take the OTA)
Then root again and your good to install latest eclipse.
Check the sticky posted by booked in dev section at top for files needed.
and tutorial sticky by moonshadow in general section on how to sbf.
looks more complicated than it actually is....longest part is downloading files and installing programs.
SBF to 2.3.4 or take the OTA. Then root then flash whatever version you want.

Any version after 8.1 that is.....
I think it would create problems to flash 8.1 or earlier on top of 2.3.4 kernel.

Also I want to add I have YET to see anyone with am x2 actually "hard brick" their phone. U gotta really be trying to brick it to do that
Worst I've seen is people trying to sbf with low batteries and the flash fails. Then they get a charged battery and all is well.
After u sbf u will most likely bootloop(since running a rom beforehand I have usually bootloop after sbf) but this happens often to lots of people and a simple data wipe from the stock Android recovery fixes the problem and sends u on you way...
any questions feel free to pm me

[Q] Fixing my bricked htc incredible s ( vivo ) *Maybe there's still hope for it..*

Hello guys, I'm a noob in xda. I bricked my htc incredible s.. i was hoping to give it for a try to save my phone up by finding solutions here by asking you guys.
So here's my problem:
My htc incredible S was rooted on stock rom for half a year, and when i received OTA update, i was restricted from performing OTA because i had a custom recovery installed on my phone. And so, yeah. I was reckless.
I didn't read properly and know that i cant install any ota updates from htc, but i found a way in order to let my phone to be able to perform OTA updates again, and thats by intalling a ruu. But, due to my phone was a HTC_asia_wwe ver ( which the ruu is very hard to be found) , i searched and browsed almost every forum, but there's none with download links available, so i downloaded a stock rom with PG32IMG.zip and flash it when it gets on bootloader (htc devices will always scan for PG32IMG.zip when we get into bootloader right?) I had all things succeed. When i was trying to reboot into my os, it keeps repeat the boot vibration with the HTC logo on it. ( keeps come out the HTC logo, then turn black awhile, then come out again..keep repeating non stop and i can only turn off my phone by taking off the battery)
I can boot into bootloader but i cant access everything. even when i access recovery , it goes the same too, keep out the logo, reboot, out logo, reboot. And also when i plug in to my PC, it keeps shows up android 1.0 device too and my adb cant find the device serial. I really hope there's some way to fix my phone....I hope I'm posting in the correct section...I'm really needed for help..thanks guys.
It sounds like ur having a bootloop problem which I honestly don't understand y u would have that problem. All I can really tell u is that if I remember correctly is that if u can boot up into ur bootloader then that means ur device is not bricked.
Edit: If u have the stock ruu for ur phone then u can make ur own ruu zip to flash through the bootloader but u will need some software that creates it for u. I remember seeing it somewhere here on the forums. I just don't remember off the top of my head if u need to be s-off to flash through ur bootloader or not.
:-? Hopefully that helps u out a bit.

Since you're s-off, can you not flash a recovery through your bootloader? From there you should be able to either flash a rom or restore your backup if you made one.
I'm hoping that you've learned your lesson and will read more in the future. I can't stress enough the importance of doing your own research and knowing what you're doing before you do so. Since I'm sure you know that now, I'll shut up.

[Fixed] Please help. Trying to go back to stock with a small carrier.

Okay so I tried using the main SBF tutorial on the dev forum here and that SBF file didn't work for my Milestone X2. I'm pretty sure the main problem is that I'm on ACS (Alaska Communication Systems) and they're using 2.3.6 and probably some strange baseband versions. I got some "boot error 1" or something.
Anyway, I can't find a .sbf file for the ACS version of my phone. I was able to get the phone to boot again using this nTelos sbf, but I wasn't able to make calls or anything and saw a flashing triangle on my status bar.
So I guess a few questions I have are..
1) Does anyone know of a .sbf file that would work for this?
2) Can I somehow edit the nTelos ROM to work with my carrier?
3) If I take it to ACS will they be able to flash the sbf file for me? Or at least supply me with it....
4) Have I voided my warranty by doing this?
Any information is helpful. Thanks!
----------------------------------------------------
Figured I'd give everyone a quick update. I got the phone replaced. I went in and played dumb. She asked if I tried to root it and I said "what's that? I think I've got a virus!!" She had no idea how to fix it so she just gave me a rapid replacement.
I would really like to get the SBF files so I can at least try the 2.3.6 root and not worry about messing it up this time, but any company in Alaska is pretty hard to deal with for anything at all.
Thanks for your help XDA! I miss my Skyrocket
I'm not sure if flashing a sbf file voids warranty. I imagine that it does because if done improperly or the sbf file is bad it could brick the phone. You're most likely going to have to take the phone to them.

you probably have to flash your phone in a similar method as a flash to cricket or metropc wireless except with your carriers information.

Not sure I fully understand, could you give a little more information please? Kind of nervous about taking it in.
was it just the flashing triangle that means you have to activate the phone?
maybe that's all you need to do?
SBF files are given to us by Motorola. I wouldnt think you would void your warranty by using them unless its a leaked version or something. But even then, you could play stupid and just say you didnt know. They might buy it.
I mean if all else fails ask for an sbf from your service provider.

Many thanks I shouldn't have made the attempt to downgrade first in the first place. This time I think I'll just attempt a simple root, which I've read worked for another ACS Milestone X2 2.3.6 user. After a root I can install ReRecovery and make a NANDROID backup right? Just in case anything goes wrong again? I haven't fully looked into it since I'm not rooted yet, but I'm assuming ReRecovery is just another thing similar to ClockWorkMod, which I have experience with. Too bad there are no 2.3.6 roms that I've seen :< I really hate this stock ROM and all its bloat.

yes, I do not blame you. There are parts of the stock rom I like but generally I do not like it. I just rooted my phone 2.3.6 method and it worked. My only advice is to download Super user from the market before you start the process.
I am working on a fix . So 236 can work on any carrier. Wanna help?

I do want to help, but do not want to risk anything until I can get my phone setup to a point where I can always flash back to this ACS 2.3.6. Is that essentially done once/if I get ReRecovery on the phone?
Yea RR should be flashed whenever you leave cwr!
You could test on your acs.
Trying to get hw virtual serial port to work see the cricket link. I had all this working back in july. Damn.

Our phone is crippled, cwr restore does not restore bootloader & other stuff.
