I heard the SBF for GB ota isnt her yet . if anyone can help I would be grateful. Plz Help

I just tried this on my friend's D2 (I am very experienced with the inc), and I seem to be having the same problem. I have tried Sbfing, but RSDlite will not recognize the phone. I have booted to recovery, nothing (Stock recovery), and the bootloader (Says too little charge)
What can I do?

Charge your battery in another phone like yours. Borrow someones spare battery. Take battery to verizon store and see if they can charge it somehow. There is a thread on here somewhere on how to do a hack job on your cable and hook the wires directly to your battery and charge it independent of the phone. I can't post a link so I hope you can find it by searching.

I've had this problem 4 times in the last week. I used a terminal based OS to SBF using ADB.
And in the same step I re rooted my phone. Whole thing takes about 15-20 minutes.
The steps are on the CMWiki.

[Q] Need to sbf but can't get into Clockwork bootstrap

Managed to get my Droid 2 to a point where it will not go beyond the M screen on boot. I've tried pulling the battery over and over again and cannot get to the Clockwork bootstrap. I've also tried plugging it in and pulling the battery many, many times.
So I figure the next best step is to .sbf this mofo.
I've downloaded & installed rdslite, the USB drivers. Also have the Droid 2 .sbf files. Droid.Co_Downloader.exe pulled down RSD Lite v4.8 though rather than 4.7. And the link to 4.7 is now showing as invalid. Will 4.8 work for what I'm trying to do?
Also, when I plug in my phone RSD Lite never shows anything in the devices table. What are the steps to get my phone to show up? Plug in phone, power on, turn on RDS Lite? The tutorial seemed to be aimed at people who still have working phones in that it has you adjusting setting on the phone i.e. enable debug mode.
Sidenote, I know debug mode is disabled on my phone. Does that mean RSD Lite isn't going to work?
Help!
I think if you pull and replace the battery at the M it should reboot into recovery, and if it won't do that you can always try sliding out the keyboard and booting the phone while holding the X key to see if it will dump you into the stock recovery
Ok, some more reading uncovered hitting the physical keyboard's Up arrow and powering on will take the phone to the Bootloader and once in the bootloader my pc recognized it.
And then RSD Lite showed my device in the table but it didn't show up as the A955 it was Model "S Flash OMAP3630 MI".
Currently flashing DROID2_X6_2.2.20 .sbf, hopefully that pans out.
Thanks, I tried the battery pull thing A LOT of times. Never went into bootstrap. Not sure what's going on there.
I tried the stock recovery but got the Android-exclaimation mark icon which I presume means the stock recovery was F-ed up.
Really hope this sbf recovery works.
Ok, disaster averted.
Looks like rebooting into the bootloader was the secret. Hope that is helpful to someone else who's bricked their phone.
BTW, used RSD Lite version 4.8 and that worked with my Droid 2.

Glad you got it working! For future reference if you want the stock recovery, after you hold x and get to the exlamation point, press the search key on the keyboard. (The little magnifying glass) and it should take right Into it.

Me too!
Search key? Good to know. Man, that could have saved me quite a bit of time I think.
So now that I've restored everyting I'm going to risk it all and install the fission rom again.
It's less intimidating now that I know how to sbf restore. Hopefully I won't need to this go round.
Just follow the instructions as they are laid out and you shouldn't run into much trouble. Also, be sure to let the device sit for a bit after you reboot from clockwork, as it could take a good 15 minutes before it fully boots up the first time, and interrupting that could put you back at square one
Could you add [SOLVED] to your thread title please. Thanks

[Q] ERR:A5,69,35,00,27 after SBF

This is wife's phone. I was doing regular App Market updates for her installed apps. After they were complete got an error message, don't remember exactly what, but rebooted... Phone then went into a boot loop... It would boot all the way up to the lock screen then reboot again. I went in and wiped both cache's with no success. Went back into recovery and did a set factory defaults and now I am dead in the water...
I get to the Bootloader screen and it tells me Err:A5,69,35,00,27 and I have done everything but stand on my head to fix. I have re-SBF'd from multiple computers, using different SBF versions, driver versions, and RSD Lite versions including multiple bootable Linux CD's with embedded SBF. All resulted in getting the darn ERR:A5,69,35,00,27.
The only way I ever got anything different was to flash 1.13.604 and then I got an error message Err:A5,70,70,00,1F.
After that, if I SBF the newer version, I go right back to original error.
I tried a suggestion from another thread to download the system and full sbf files for 340. I flashed the full, got error... Then flashed system, still get error.
I am using RSD Lite 5.4 on Vista 32 with UAC disabled (full admin mode), latest Moto drivers as of this post. Again, I have tried all of the versions of bootable linux SBF's as well. All yield the same result.
Wife's phone, she is very unhappy with me, and if I don't get her back up and running, I guess I will be dropping $500 on a new phone, as she is still under contract. If Mama ain't happy, I sure ain't getting any! LOL!
It seems to me that you've tried everything possible.
Your best bet now would be to take it to Verizon, if it's still under warranty.

Out of warranty by 2 months.
I actually have two of these phones, and I was able to figure some information out here. I wanted to see if I could get my working Droid X into Stock Recovery, and low and behold it wouldn't go in either. I did some searching around and found that some ROM's were wiping out the stock recovery. I found this file dxgb_recovery_patch.zip and downloaded it and flashed it in Clockwork Recovery and that fixed the Stock Recovery on my working phone.
However, since my wife's Droid X is bootlooping, I can't access Stock Recovery or Clockwork Recovery. I feel like I am chasing my tail here. I need to wipe the data/factory reset, but I can't get there because I don't have Stock Recovery. I can reinstall Stock Recovery if I have Clockwork Recovery, but I don't have Stock Recovery to install Clockwork Recovery... Round and round I go...
There absolutely must be a way to get the Stock Recovery reinstalled from the state I am in.
what rom was the phone running when you had the original issue?
Apex 2.0 RC4
Good ROM, but it appears to torch stock recovery. I ended up having wife call and plead stupidity with Motorola. They are exchanging phone.
Still don't feel bad. Would have been able to fixed If they would unlock the damn billiard.
I have the same Problem with my Defy+ what can i do?
I have the exact same issue. Have tried all the sbf methods, still getting the error :A5,69,---, I was on MIUI prior to this. When I boot the phone back up I get the motorola M but then it brings me right back to bootloader and the error. I'm guessing stock recovery is gone.
Anybody find a fix to this yet. I am about to go back to Verizon, but wanted to fix it myself if at all possible, cause I have had my phone for a year and a half so I doubt they will help me out and don't have the money for a new phone right now.
Are you holding down Home and both volume buttons with power at boot to get to stock recovery?
*I have had several phones and don't remember exactly so you may have to hold Home and vol- only.

Yes, on the droid x its just home and the power button release the power button when you see the m and then you hit search once the droid pops up. Instead of seeing the droid it takes me to the bootloader screen with the above error message. The way to bootloader is volume button camera button and power. Which that still works and I have tried several sbf methods with none working. I didn't know if it was an issue that may have been mentioned above about the stock recovery being missing now since I was on MIUI 2.1 wizards verison. I didn't know if there was a way to get stock recovery back on the phone cause sbf doesn't seem to work. I really have no clue at this point. But full disclosure I have done quite a few sbf's and this is the first time I've ran into such an issue. Thanks again for any help.
Apologize ahead this is so long. I just wanted to update anyone just in case they ran into the same error that I did earlier. The Err:A5,69,35,00,27 on the bootloader 30.04 screen. I finally got an sbf to stick. About 30 sbf's later (no exaggeration) and 3 different nights of working on it. Honestly persistence just ended up paying off. Anyone else can chime in here if they know why it worked so its not so grueling for the next guy/gal and major props to 1kds who gave me a couple different suggestions and for making this awesome way to sbf. The linux disc didn't end up working for me in the end but it may have if I kept at it, because that is the way to go if you can (way easy to run), Also may have worked if I did the linux disc on a different computer. I started on MIUI 2.1 (Wizards vers) but previous to that the latest android vers I was on was 602, friday night my phone died and for some reason wouldn't charge in the morning or boot up. I had a spare battery with about 50% charge on it, so I used that to try and turn on the phone and I got the red M then the error message on the bootloader screen mentioned above. I ran the linux disc on my windows 7 (64bit) machine for all the currently downloadable files (froyo, 596, 602, 602root). Kept getting the err:a5,69...
Ran RSDLite on the Windows 7 machine (my current vers was 4.8, but then upgraded to 4.9) then 5.4.4 and also 5.6.4 (latest on the rsdlite motosbf site). I tried both froyo .340 and gingerbread 602 files on all these versions and even the .596 gingerbread which I had never been on. Nothing worked and I had gone through my second battery at this point. Then I figured I would try my Windows Vista 32 bit Laptop that never had rsd lite on it or the drivers. So Downloaded 5.4.4 (found this to be the one favorable for the 602 flash per the forums) and the motorola driver and sbf'd again both the froyo .340 and the gingerbread 602 file. Still getting the same error. Every third sbf or so I would even start getting a code corrupt error. The flashes actually failed every now and then and then sometimes they would show finished and the phone would still show the s/w update screen (I just did a battery pull and would sbf again at this point). After each sbf tried getting into stock recovery Volume down, home, and power button and each time I would get an error and/or go back to the bootloader screen. I also tried just home and the power button.
What worked!!! - Not sure why but my last sbf I did was the 602 still on the laptop running Windows Vista 32 bit since I thought that would work on the rsd lite 5.4.4 (credit here to droidmodderx and 1kds). It still showed the Err:A5,69,35,00,27 after the sbf finished and it tried to boot (i did get the red m, but then went to that error page again). Battery pull, turned back on and then error page on bootloader 30.04 again. I held the home, volume down, and power button for about 1-2 minutes = same result. Held Home and Power button = same result with error. Tried the home, volume down, and power one more time (still same result). Battery pull again, waited a few minutes and just tried to turn on and it got past the red m to the droid eye!!!! It did bootloop, but I battery pulled and tried to reboot since stock recovery hadn't been working. Same thing, bootloop, so I tried the stock recovery again (home, volume down, and the power button) and stock recovery came up. Hit the search button then did the factory reset. I couldn't believe it and like I said not sure why/how it worked (maybe the multiple attempts to get into stock recovery). All I know is 4 days later it works now and I thought all was lost!!! Of course again wouldn't have been able to do this without 1kds or these awesome forums! Thanks again and sorry so long, but hopefully this helps someone else!

Deas nexus 4

Hello everyone,
I was doing an antutu test, and the phone just shut off yesterday. The battery was about 60% and then impossible to restart it. I then let it cool down 10mn then tried again with no luck. I plugged to the wall with original cable and plug and then a red flashing light was lit. I went to read online about this behaviour to find out it was (to some people say) due to battery being dead and had to wait to recharge a bit. I let charge for about 2h but there was no icon of battery charging on the screen. No need to mention that i have tried everything (holding power button for 60sec, holding volume down + power button etc etc) nothing was working. Then i read somewhere on this forum i had to press volume down + power THEN plug it into wall. I gave a try then it worked it went to recovery mode.... BUT BUT BUT once i tried to go to each option (start, restart bootloader, recovery mode), the phone was shutting down right away after the google image and again red flashing light... Bummer... So since it was getting into recovery mode i plugged it to pc and then followed the thread on how to reinstall stock rom etc etc. I followed steps but since i was already with a custom rom and kernel (PA+TRINITY) i used the toolboxkit because the command fastboot was not working in the command window. I did flashed the stock bootloader following what was supposed to be flashed first.Result.. Now no red flashing light, but nothing else either, no light, no power, no charging, no recovery mode, nothing... ANY ideas would be highly apreciated before i call google for an exchange.
Thanks to all for help.
What exactly do you plan on telling Google?
How did you flash only the bootloader??
Did you try the toolkit to reflash stock???

Well since it does nothing else anymore i was going to tell them the truth besides the part it had another custom rom and kernel and i started the toolkit and i placed the 6 stock .img int he right folder then i started by flashing the bootloader and was waiting for reboot to flash the rest of the images like it is mentionned on the thread on this forum.
I used the toolkit to flash the bootloader but now the phone is dead completly. No light flashing, no battery icon, it is plugged on the wall and i get no power in it.. This is why im stuck before trying to flash stock rom and wipe all datas...
If you have any idea... i take it gladly!! but im not very used with toolkit so i dont seem to know how to wipe all datas besides flashing stok data image?? but the question is hos to get power back in phone now???
thank you for your precious help
anyone else???

**SOLVED** [Q] My Droid Razr M won't get past the droid eye on boot up

I apologize already if this has already been posted before, I couldn't see one that had my issues so I'm making this thread.
OK, so here is my problem and everything that I can think of that I've done to my phone.
Today I tried to restart my phone as it was getting a bit sluggish. When I did it started booting fine then the animation sound stopped while the droid eye was being put together. Now my phone will not pass the droid eye during the boot phase. I press the power and both volume buttons and after a few seconds it starts itself back up again. I do the power button and down volume buttons and it still does the same thing. I've even performed the factory reset twice and it still won't help.... And no matter what I do it keeps booting itself back up on its own.
What I've done to my phone:
I am rooted but never got the boot loader unlocked since i waited too long and the last update wouldn't allow the boot loader unlock methods anymore. I have used titanium backup app to delete some system apps for example the Verizon football one, slacker radio, and any of those useless apps that I never use. I haven't deleted anything lately and have restarted my phone many times since. I have been delaying the recent update hitting no or not now, whatever it says. I thought that I said no today on the system update as well. Even then my phone was working before I restarted it.
PLEASE I hope that there is something that I can do to fix my phone because I'm forced to use my LG Vortex again and my upgrade isn't for another year..... I don't want to buy a new one since this phone has been great and I'm almost certain that if there was a way to reinstal or flash the droid razr m OS that that would fix my issues.
Thanks in advance for your input and please know that I'm a novice with this kind of thing so you will have to explain the process to me. If i have instructions I can definitely follow them.
THANKS!
You Factory Reset a couple of times, so that tells me you know how to get into recovery. See if you can get back into recovery and try clearing cache/dalvik too. I think you can still do that from stock recovery.
If that doesn't work and your battery is good, you can fastboot to recover it. If your battery was low when you started this, charge it prior to fastbooting. Just hold down the power button until the phone shuts off and plug into a WALL charger until it's charged. If the battery is good, you can grab the firmware from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8 (use the second one from the bottom, .3, if you flash the last one you will not be able to gain root) and flash in RSD. Another choice is to use House of Moto to recover: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/28162-house-of-moto-20/ .
OK, so I deleted the cashe and still a no go. For the second step of getting the .3 to regain root. would it be possible to get an even earlier version so I can unlock the boot loader? Also when you say flash in RSD, what is that? I know of the AP flash from the first menu, is that something inside of Recovery menu options?
Thanks for your help!
**UPDATE**
THANKS! I was able to eventually figure it out and used the last option that you said and my phone works! Now working on getting root back. Thanks again!! But I really would like to know if I could do the same thing but with an earlier version to unlock the bootloader.
Droid Razr starting up issue
Hi guys, I am facing a weird issue with my Droid Razr and hoping pros to help me sort this out and get my phone running.
I am using Droid Razr but since last one week it is not starting up. Let me elaborate, currently it is switched off and not getting up. While starting it pass through M logo but can't go ahead for startup animation (droid eye animation). Even after leaving on that animation for entire day, it is not going ahead of that.
However, if I connect it to a wall charger (while it is off) it shows battery getting charged. It is taking a usual timing of 90 minutes for full charge.
I have important pictures and data into phone memory is there any way to recover it.
I would appreciate if you can guide me to get my phone up and running as usual.

[Q] Defy bricked. Wont turn on, only white led on pc

I had cm11 (or 10, not sure) installed for about a month now (back in december) .... Went on a trip, and when coming back my phone battery ran out at the airport somehow, but i had fully charged it and i was not out all day enough for it to run out fully... I take my phone home, not really giving it much importance, and i noticed it was stuck on the bootlogo.. so i went into recovery and tried to re-flash the rom and fix it, but when i was installing the ROM again, the phone shut off randomly (i heard that happened with a certain recovery menu software sometimes, i cant remember the name)... then the phone wouldn't charge and/or turn on, and when I connect it to the pc, nothing happens other than the white led coming on.. RSD won't recognize it...
So i found out i had to charge the battery manually, and used a Universal Charger... Still, no recognition by RSD Lite...
Finally, i found a way:
1. Open RSDLite
2. Connect phone (no battery on it)
3. While holding Power + Vol Up, put the battery in
4. RSD will recognize your phone!
Problem is, it recognizes my MB525 as "S Flash OMAP0360"
And when i try to flash a .sbf i used previously to recover my phone (had bricked it before by trying to change ROMs in a sloppy manner), it seems to flash smoothly, but when it's going to reboot the phone, the progress goes up to 100% and then asks me to reboot it manually.. I read somewhere that to fix that i should take the battery out, disconnect the phone, put it back in, and make RSD recognize it like i mentioned before...... and after RSDLite says flashing is PASSED, the phone still won't turn on... I have tried at least three times and gotten the same result... Help?
The SBF i am using (because it helped me save my phone before) is:
JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-9_SIGNED_USAJORDMR1B25TIGCOLA01E.0R_JORLAFROTIGCOL A_P009_A002_M010_HWp3_WIG146037_Service1FF.sbf
EDIT: Also, i read somewhere that when all you get is the white led (when connecting to PC) it means that your battery is not charged enough for flashing.. ?
I don't know what to do?? I read that defy's are really hard to brick... But mine got bricked out of nowhere.. wtf?

Hey there. Well, if it's still flashable it ain't bricked. I've got my other one to not be recognized (broken bootloader), which is beyond usual repair. So, did you you flash some random SBF before the rescue one you're trying out now? There's a problem with previously flashed GingerBread or Defy+ SBF images. So it would be good to know, what was the SBF running before trying "JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-9". Also according to http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=27 that is 2.2.1 and there's also a "Android 2.2.2 Blur_Version.34.4.802.MB525.Latam.en.01". Tried that as well?
Anyhow, if the phone is seen by RSDlite it actually powers on and is recoverable. If the screen is just staying black, then you probably tried a downgrade from a Gingerbread SBF and didn't watch out for the BL-version.
If it's a BL-version problem then this might help. Also there is a guide to unbrick. And yes, keep an eye out for the battery level. Best would be an external charger, as the phone does not charge. McGyver way should still work though.
If it shows a LED and is seen over USb, it's not dead (yet)
Also look out for section "Common Problems/Questions" here.

So it would be good to know, what was the SBF running before trying "JORLA_U3_3.4.2_107-9". Also according to http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=27 that is 2.2.1 and there's also a "Android 2.2.2 Blur_Version.34.4.802.MB525.Latam.en.01". Tried that as well?
Anyhow, if the phone is seen by RSDlite it actually powers on and is recoverable. If the screen is just staying black, then you probably tried a downgrade from a Gingerbread SBF and didn't watch out for the BL-version.
If it's a BL-version problem then this might help. Also there is a guide to unbrick. And yes, keep an eye out for the battery level. Best would be an external charger, as the phone does not charge. McGyver way should still work though.
If it shows a LED and is seen over USb, it's not dead (yet)
Also look out for section "Common Problems/Questions" here.

No, i have not flashed other SBF's ever... only CM roms but i did it through the phone itself, in recovery mode.. I'll try the 2.2.2 one you told me about and see how that works out!
EDIT: No luck, the phone stays at a black screen.. it wont even reboot when RSD is done flashing.. i have to take the battery out and put it in bootloader again for RSD to say it PASSED the flashing

Too bad Anyway, did you try 8. from here, that is
"
If you get " Please manually power up this phone " in RSD Lite pull battery out > put your battery back > reboot into stock recovery by holding Power button and Vol- button > Choose Wipe data/cache > Choose Reboot system now
"? Also holding Power and Vol-Down while inserting battery is said to work.
I wonder if there is an SBF that also flashes cache and userdata partitions...
Nope, it just stays black-screened.... It only works if i do VOL-UP for bootloader mode, but that doesnt help
Umm, as a shot into the blue: Did you try to reinstall the Defy drivers from Motorola? It seems that missing those hinder RSD lite from detecting the Phone as MB52x and instead just show the Processor identification, i.e. "S Flash OMAP3630"
Try dfp 231. The processor identification is correct( rsdlite has been set up properly).

wtf, the phone flashed correctly and everything but the screen won't turn on.... The computer recognizes it as MB526 now, and i can touch the home button and stuff and it will vibrate like it used to when it worked... i can also make the ringtones play using the moto portal page... Everything works (except for calls) other than the fact that i still have a black screen... the screen just wont turn on... Also it said it had very little internal memory compared to what it had before (had at least 2 gb i think.. now not even one)
I had sent the phone over to fix, and they told me it was unfixable... Is it possible that the guy (it wasnt an official company) who "tried to fix it" simply took parts out of it ? -_- (if he had taken parts out of it im guessing the phone wouldnt turn on at all..?)
What can i do to turn the screen on??
EDIT: i flashed DEFYPLUS_U3_4.5.1-134_DFP-231_GR_SIGN_UCADEFYEMARAB1B80AA004.0R_PDS03C_USAJRDNGIBRRTCEE_P022_A022_Service1FF.sbf
I couldnt find the one you posted there so i did the central europe one...

Umm, according to this thread it is supposed to be this one.
The GR vs CN maybe doesn't make a difference, but maybe the P022_A022 vs. P015_A030?
Doesn't a working phone portal allow for somehow to get logs/adb etc?
