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
the other day i tried restoring a back up via TWRP but it didnt work until i fastboot flashed boot.img...Alright so i updated my TWRP via goomanager app to the latest version (whatever is on there via goomanager) as in the TWRP forum discussions it was stated that previous versions were not working properly wihen restoring. So today i flashed a new ROM (NOS ROM) but that didnt work so i decided what better time than now to try restoring again, no dice didnt work and i had to fastboot flash the boot img for the restore file to take and boot up just fine again...ok peeps what am doing wrong??? again im fairly new at this flashing ROMS scene but i thought witht he TWRP update i would be good to go. Am i missing some settings ticks/options/checks? i saw a check box that said "recovery" i think in the restore or back up process dont remember which process. i tried going onto the TWRP discussion but it is locked down and states that there will no longer be any support for it...should i just switch to CWM?? thanks in advance to whom ever replies

What did you have checked while making the backup? data? recovery? cache? system? and did you rename the back up?
System, data and boot are checked...I didn't mess with the options just hit restore and let it do it's thing...should I change something or check the other 2 boxes (one of them being "recovery" forgot what the other option was)?

also some roms are picky about which recovery is used to install/backup. I can say I have had no issues backing up stock or custom roms with twrp on my DNA

That's exactly what I was trying when all this happened...I flashed it via flash gui app like I've been doing but for some reason it didn't work...when I went to unlock screen it would pull up HTC splash screen and just stay stuck there... I'm not S-off yet so would that have something to do with NOS ROM not functioning?

Let me rephrase that...it boots up, screen comes on silver background from butterfly then I go pull ring to unlock and it pulls up the HTC splash screen once I unlock and will not move from there...so that's when I reset and went back to viper...???

I may have misread but did you wipe everything before loading nos? I saw what was checked for backup but not about wiping. You should wipe everything-system, then cache, then delvik cache-not exactly in that order (make SURE there IS a backup just in case). Load the rom AND flash the correct image file with adb. Also, many roms when FIRST loading up sit a long time before they start up, not sure if nos does this or not-I have been jumpy about the time sitting with a few roms when waiting was all I needed to do. I have had different Viper versions on a few times and moving to another rom was quirky each time I did so, not sure why.
NOS did that to me too. Just wait....it will load into the setup wizard. I think being s-on, which I still am...twrp isn't able to back up and restore your roms boot.img. just a guess but I to failed to restore a backup when an install went awry. Makes sense to be being that you can't install a kernel from recovery either.

I looked at the install instructions for nos, if you are s-on you need to do one extra step. You have to extract the rom into a folder somewhere to get the image file, copy the image file from it. Flash that image file using adb on your pc and THEN install the rom from your phone with goomanager. Without the image file loaded, I don't think it would work. If you are s-off this step is not needed.

I believe it will, if it had the image from the get go. I believe that the back up has everything it needs. At least my back ups have never needed an image file. I decided I should try NOS myself and must say it would not go for me (S-off) it kept rebooting into recovery. I was going to try and also flash the boot image but have not done so yet.

Its the kernel in NOS. Flash NOS and then flash cpalmers kernel. Then reboot and do the setup and if you want to change to the zarboz kernel you need to delete system/bin/thermald or rename it to thermald_old.bak

Hmmm well I did everything via my cell (been the way I've been flashing ROMS unless something goes wrong then I use ADB on computer) and everything when properly done works fine using Flash GUI APP love that app! I've flashed super charged hatka 320 (used that for a couple weeks) then switched over to viper...both using Flash GUI I tried using NOS but yes no dice loaded up but when I pull the unlock ring for whatever reason the splash screen comes up and it won't budge from there....and as for my original question haha TWRP did not work for me when restoring it tripped out like if it was missing the boot image (done that before so I'm familiar with that behavior haha)
Oh and I'm still S-on

Never mind. It looked like it was caused by the USB 3.0 port. My laptop has 2 USB3.0 ports and one USB2.0 port. I tried both of the USB3.0 ports and it failed. I didn't try the USB2.0 one since it was occupied by my mouse. But after trying the USB2.0 port, everything went smoothly and now I have the 4.1.2.
I have lgnpst 1.1.3 ...it wont recognize my phone at all. I used freegee to unlock my bootloader so I'm rooted also. My HUGE problem is I can't flash any 4.2 ROMS because I'm not recognized on lgnpst and I cant finish installing the at&t update because my bootloader is unlocked...I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'm stuck with the older ROMS!! =/

I have the same issue so I wonder what is to be done. I have 2.2.3 lgnpst and it shows unknown item on com 3. I select the dll and tinybin. When I click start it does nothing phone stays in stand by in lgnpst. And stuck at 0% and no further. I have installed drivers for usb twice. And wiped lgnpst 1.3 and fresh install 2.2.3 with v5.0 of the other two files. Still same.
And your in download mode on phone? And unknown on com3 worked on mine. Just made sure dll was lge970, and bin was selected.

Make sure the phone is connected to a USB2.0 port, not USB3.0.
Edit: I tried again on my laptop now and it says it cannot load module in cmd. Missing something? ( I have tried to see if I needed to register the dll but it won't even work. Any insight )

So i finally unlocked my bootloader on my p769. After i unlocked it i went to recovery and restored my backup to a 20F T-mobile P769 rom (yes i know this was stupid, I should have installed recovery via fastboot while I had it open). My touch screen is borked and I have no recovery set up.
Things I've tried:
To turn on USB debugging, the backup i restored does not have a homescreen so I cannot access the settings to turn it on.
The KDZ offline flash method, but it always stops at 15% even though i've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers countless times.
"Upgrade recovery" via the LG software tool. It gets to the part where it downloads the file and even after 2 hours it doesn't download. My hosts file did not have LGs IP when i tried this.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is there a button combination to force my phone to go to fastboot mode? Or can i got from s/w upgrade mode to fastboot mode? This is really frustrating.
Alright so i managed to turn USB debugging on, but i have no root or recovery. Is there anything I can do from here?
EDIT: managed to get root and installed busybox the correct busybox. i can't seem to get the recovery to install though (im using the l9 recovery installer APK. It says the recovery is installed but it won't reboot into recovery and the LEDs dont flash when i power on the phone). My phones touchscreen is still borked.
That LG software tool never worked for me and I never used it. Find a kdz uploaded and keep the phone on. No sw mode. I've been reading a lot of stuff on here about u boot and adb. . .never did any of that with other phones but I haven't bricked this one either to test any methods. I'm rambling. . .let need know what happens.

Even if your bootloader is unlocked you still have to install a ROM that is made for your phone. Just go to backup/restore then restore from sd and pick your backup. Good luck!

I never seen that error, but I would try to offline flash a kdz. Offline flash will remove any changes to the system.img and should not touch your data. However, you are probably on a jellybean kdz, so you will need to use fastboot, and flash ice x & u for it to work. Or use the longer method Lg Mobile Recovery tool (this takes longer because it will have to download the kdz from lg). If you use the recovery tool remove any changes to your host file in windows.
