[Q] DROID 2 will not boot... really have tried everything... - Droid 2 General

Hello, all. I am new and am here for one reason today.
Recently, my dad got a new phone and said that I could mess around with his old Droid 2. I decided to root and try and install CM9 on it to get Android 4. That failed, and I was stuck with a bricked phone.
Basically, I was able to successfully root it, but when it came to install CM and its package of Google apps, the phone would not boot past the "M" logo. Here is the site I used mainly to guide me... (website prevents me from posting this link but I will soon update)
Maybe this site is what led me wrong. The downloads of CM9, the Recovery Bootstrap thingy, and the Google apps came from separate sites each... I think maybe they may've been incompatible with each other.
I did what was logical. I removed the battery, tried to power it on again, maybe even somehow boot into ClockworkMod recovery and not have to start over. Sadly this did not work.
Then, I decided to do a bit of research... I then tried to wipe the phone and reboot. Fail.
I finally came across this video which I resorted to... (website prevents me from posting this link but I will soon update)
I would have to unbrick it... a long tedious process, then start from square one... with not guarantee that it'll even work again.
Through this video, I ran into my final problem... it seems my phone won't even load the Bootloader! Every single time I try, it says "Battery Low...Cannot program". It seems there may be a problem with the battery, SINCE I'VE BEEN CHARGING IT FOR 12 HOURS! My theory about this is that it is trying to load CM from my previous attempt, but drains so much battery trying to do so that the battery itself has very little charge. Another note: whenever I plug it in, the phone goes to the "M" logo and freezes. There's no way to completely turn off the thing, except to unplug it and take out the battery. So, I can't even get the bootloader to work in order to unbrick it! That's about as worse it can get.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My question to you guys is... what would you do in my place? I am still intent on getting CM on this device, but I can't even fix my current state!
1) how to fix my current problem?
2) experienced rooters and rom-flashers: how to get CM9 (Android 4) on this device without bricking it again?
--- Note that I am a noob and this is my first time doing such a thing. I need ALL details!
Thank you guys sooo much for your time!

does label under battery say a955 or a956?

you can try a factory reset in Stock recovery
but most likely need to flash stock firmware 2 options RSD Lite or ezSBF

Like I said, I know I can use RSD for a reset, but the thing is the bootloader won't work. The battery is bad, I think, so it ends up saying, "Battery low, Cannot program". Even if I plug it into the computer nothing happens.

Ok. I will see what I can do. I briefly went over that option in your list.. it seems risky. I am not a person that wants to mess with wires and risk explosions. If I buy another battery, will that do the trick? That'd be safer. I'd rather pay that risk that other stuff. Could you provide me a link to a good battery? I know it sounds dumb but I don't want to get the wrong model.
Thanks for all of your help. I think I'll use your guide to root and get CM9 on that phone.
When I do get the battery and am ready to root and flash, do you think you could chat here step by step with me? I don't want to mess this up again, and you seem like the experienced type of person. Online guides don't really have the best step by step guidance, and even videos sometimes don't do the trick. Though, if you are busy but happen to have a link to a good video, could you send it to me? Thanks!

Sorry if that was not clear, I haven't updated that for a while.
Low battery options There are 3 options the first is a warning and not recommended MacGyver Method, 2. is Factory Programming / Fastboot Cable, 3rd is a spare battery charger (with link), and 4th would be borrow a charged battery. A new battery may not be charged enough to flash.

I see, I see. So from what I see here, I should buy the Black Hat thing and the charger and try those options to reset my phone.
I have see a YouTube vid where a guy from RootJunky shows you how to do this, so I will be using that as a guide, unless you recommend another way.
Once I have reset my phone, could you help me root and get ICS on my Droid? I still am intent on getting Android 4 on this phone, now more out of trying to solve the mess I've gotten myself into that actually enjoying the final result. Not that I don't want ICS, but I want to learn how to do this the right way. If there is a good YouTube video about how to get CM9 on the Droid 2 or something similar, could you direct me there? Or, do you just recommend the guide you have?
Thanks again.

Ok. I have successfully rooted my device and have done a nandroid backup.
I am obviously moving on to actually getting a rom on my phone. Before I start, I have a few questions.
- Is there anything I need to do right now? My current state includes a root and a nandroid backup. What other tweaks do I need to make as of right now>?
- I cannot find a good link to CM9 for Droid 2. Either the site is a virus website or my computer thinks it is. Can you give me a direct link here? In addition, could you provide me with a link to a Gapps link as well? I saw a few links in the guide and heard from RootJunky that Gapps should be installed with any ICS build, but I can never find a page where both are listed and are confirmed to be compatible. Last time, I had gotten both from different sites, and I think they were not compatible.
So, here is what I have in mind. Correct me or add to me if I miss something.
1) download the CM9 build from some site onto PC
2) download the Gapps from some site onto PC
3) attach phone to PC and copy both to a folder on the storage
4) boot into ClockworkMod Recovery and wipe all data
5) in Clockwork also wipe the cache
6) in Clockwork there is some option to "install from SD card". Select that
7) find the CM9 and select that
8) after selecting CM9, also select the Gapps
9) let it run installation process and reboot.
NOTE: the above is almost exactly what I did last time, except I didn't wipe cache and I didn't do a nandroid backup
From the above, do you think I will be successful?

I DID IT! It works now!
Thank you so much! Is there some "like" button I can click to thank you? I was really happy when someone came to my rescue because I thought no one would have any info on an old phone like this one!
Thanks a ton! I hope this thread might help others as well, but if it needs to be deleted that will be okay, too.

Froze blur.res 2.3.6

I froze this app because I decided I would try freezing some apps and was going by the thread on here that has a big list. When I froze this app my phones email and calendar stopped working. I tried unfreezing it and instead of it going back to the app list it just seemed to disappear, it was no longer in the frozen list or the app list. So I just tried a factory reset and now I can't do anything as the phone I keep getting force closes on Accounts, is there anything I can do?
If you REALLY want to stay blurred, go with a fruitcake:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1163009
Otherwise, improve your phone by going with one of the many nice ROMs in the Dev section. Neutrino/Joker's CM9 are my favorites.
And in case you aren't all ROMtastic yet, unlock your bootloader (MAKE SURE THIS IS OK FOR YOUR BLURRED SELF FIRST. I HAVE NOT BEEN KEEPING UP WITH 2.3.6 ISSUES AS I LEFT BLUR A LONG TIME AGO), flash Romracer's most recent recovery, and then flash the CWM zip for whatever ROM you go for.
If you end up bricking yourself, this may or may not be useful:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22583493&postcount=139
well it isn't an issue of a new rom or anything I want, my phone is unusable right now because I froze the blur.res 2.3.6, and with the factory reset I can't do anything because the second it comes on I get force closes on 'Accounts'
And my suggestion is flash a new ROM. If you are concerned about keeping your data, try an adb pull of whatever you want to hang on to.
Oh, and try adb install (ing) the specific apk you froze (grab it from the /system/app under the fruitcake for your ROM).
ohhh haha sorry I misunderstood, but I guess I'll give it a try if it's really all I can do. I'll try to find the apk from the fruitcake rom first though and see if I can do that first, is there any link for how to do an adb install? Thanks!
I just read that people who OTA'd to 2.36 without unlocking earlier have lost the ability to do so. Just regurgitating, again I unlocked forever ago and don't worry about ATT's ball and chain anymore.

Crap, so best option right now would be to unlock the bootloader and load up a custom rom?

No what I read says people on your version (2.36) can't unlock. You should verify this by reading around.

No problem, man. Let the community know how it goes, and for future reference, use the Thanks button (I don't care too much haha). Welcome by the way. A well-asked first post, though it should have been in Q+A
Haha and I will post again with results probably tomorrow
Okay i'm back and very pleased, I unlocked the bootloader with the automatic script tool linked earlier and then used the script for Tenfars recovery in it as well. After that, since I couldn't actually get on the phone to update CWM I just went ahead and tried flashing a ROM. I used Gingermod, I wanted to try Neutrino ROM but I couldn't get to the download links for some reason, anyway Gingermod is now installed (after trying the tegrapart 1100 kernel, I didn't know which one I have so I tried that one after looking at some forums saying most ATT Atrix's are 1100). I had everything backed up with Titanium Backup previously so restoring all my apps was simple, and everything seems good so far thanks again to omni_angel7!

No problem, man. Glad it worked out for you. I'd give neutrino a chance when the links work for you again. Welcome to ROMaholics anonymous! Oh, and to prevent any future error, make sure to get ROMRACER's recovery (recommended) or the most recent CWM. Tenfar's is outdated AFAIK.
Yeah, I heard that as well so I updated CWM with ROM manager. And I found a download for Neutrino so I have it saved on my computer currently, I'm going to wait a few days though and just see how Gingermod goes (since it's smooth and the battery seems good so far)

[Q] Help 11/2013Tmobile mytouch 4g may be bricked? Unresponsive past Clockwork screen

I know this topic is not popular and most people may skip over it but please read. I am NO expert when it comes to this so if anybody can help out it would be most appreciated. I have a T-mobile My touch 4g( NOT the slide version) running ginger bread 2.3.4. I wanted to play a game called "Clash of clans" but it says i need firmware 4.1 or higher. I was bummed because T mobile stopped making upgrades for this phone a long time ago. I saw online from different threads and videos that I need to downgrade the firmware and go back to fre3vo 2.2. OK i'm fine with that. I had no Idea how adb worked so I saw a post on xda this site how to use it for dummies. I now know how to. I followed ALL steps from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912 on how I should go about this process. Everything went smooth up until the "Downgrading steps." I finally learned how to place the zip file named "PD15IMG.zip" in the root of sd card. Ok i had it. I also followed the manual downgrade routine. The phone went into boot-loader mode. The phone scanned the file and that took maybe 2 min before it asked me to update. I hit yes to update. I waited for the phone to update then it shut off. I guess the phone restarted to a black screen. The only thing I could see was the top portion bar where the battery and time info is. The rest of the screen was completely black. I took the battery out thinking that maybe the phone just needed to be restarted and this was the worst thing to happen. I turned the phone on and now the screen will NOT boot past the "t mobile mytouch 4g logo screen. I have no idea what to do from here. I went to go back to clockworkmod to see if i could repeat the process. The package scans like before then it asks me to update then I said yes. This is where the phone says its "updating" in pink letter on the side but NO progress is being made. Nothing happens and the phone seems unresponsive. I took the battery out and went back to clockworkmod. I tried to hit 'Factory Reset' but it just stays highlighted on factory reset and it wont move up and down. Nothing works. I took the battery out and re tried clockworkmod. I tried hitting recovery and then a "phone with a "green arrow" below shows up then the screen goes black and the phone vibrates 7 times then nothing else happens. I can no longer access the phone on my computer. Normally when I plugged it in the F: drive folder came up indicating I could change contents in the Sd card. I heard that you can change the setting using terminal and when i try typing "adb shell" it said it cannot find my phone and that my phone inst connected although it is connected to my computer. I have windows 7 Toshiba satellite so nothing is bad on the PC. Battery, cable, everything is fine no defects with the phone.
Also
A little information when ClockWorkMod is up. This is exactly what it says and this is exactly the color as it shows.

That screen you posted information from is called H-BOOT, it's like the factory boot loader. Clockwork MOD will show up after that but from what I'm gathering you didn't even install that in the first place. In H-BOOT you can only use the volume buttons and the power button to select so that is all normal.
So you downloaded the stock ROM and in the process of downgrading got stuck. If the SD card still works in other devices do you still have PD15IMG.zip on the card?
Also did you make sure to download the proper drivers for ADB and also for your phone? The ADB ones you should be able to find on this forum and the HTC ones you could get directly from you carriers website, and most likely somewhere on this forum. It will be up to you to really read, read, read, but I don't mind point you in the right direction.
You will find links of information with in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2288189
I would read through s-off / s-on and true rooting. I feel like you're missing drivers and basically just have nothing installed on the phone. So you aren't bricked, you just need to do more research. Bricked is the phone shows no screen at all and won't even turn on. I've done it once, and you are luckily not there. I believe the first time I rooted this phone I had the same problem of "is it installing...did I miss something...eff it, battery pull...oh no!"
Also select the recovery option and let me know what happens, if it advances you to the next screen that is what is actually Clockwork Mod recovery. If you actually have that then we are even better. I'll keep checking back tonight for ya.

Some of the links i've found on this site are outdated or used by sites that are no longer running. If possible could you help direct me to the appropriate link so that I can download the correct rom? thank you so much!

My last thread attempt, and if this doesn't work. I'd say check out Craigslist for a new phone. My Glacier 4G antenna, the actual hardware, I believe is shot. So I'm going to have to down grade and run through a similar process so I can send it back for a replacement. These things can get tricky so I feel your bricked pain.

[Q] So, I think I completely broke my phone

I hate to use the term "brick" because people here sometimes get their panties in a twist when that term is used, but that's kind of how it seems to me. Currently all I can get to is fastboot. It says the device is locked and then says:
Downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
failed to hab check for gpt_backup: 0x35
failed to load gpt
CID read failure
Invalid CID status 0x69
I've tried holding vol up, vol down and power, then releasing power while holding vol up and vol down. It got me right back to where I am.
If it helps, I got here by messing with some settings on the phone and somehow disabling all voice functionality on my phone. Data still worked, but not voice. I figured since I had messed it up, I would factory reset. This fixed that problem. Then I went into TB and restored my system data and apps. The phone then got stuck at the boot screen. I figured I'd go into recovery, wipe again and restore just the apps this time. When I did that, the phone got stuck in it's current status. I fired up the Razr M utility that's out there (w/the Batman logo) and tried to re-flash stock recovery and the stock rom. Both failed claiming my partition is bad. I'm not sure where to go here or I've permanently broken the device. The bootloader is unlocked if that helps at all.

That's what I've been using. The text based app w/the batman logo. I tried the motochopper exploit (option 5). It failed. I tried option 2, then option 1. It bricked the phone. Had to boot into the recovery partition to fix it and let stock recovery run which gave me a phone I couldn't root. I'll try it again though.
Never mind. Second try worked.

try wiping data or reflash sbf
---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 AM ----------
do you have a phone currently active on verizon? if so you can temp activate the d2, and that will stick until you wipe data again.
Hm, if it's the only way, I'm not sure what's going wrong and why that method isn't working...
I'll try wiping here in a minute, and I suppose I could activate it if need be.
Edit: Yeah, tried wiping didn't work. Might have to activate it on Verizon for a moment.
since the ota update and scripts were updated the only way to sbf is by using rsdlite with the 2.3.4 sbf file. if it fails try reinstall the drivers or update the ones you have. i spent literally all day not too long ago trying to sbf back to stock and finally found the 2.3.4 sbf file and at first it failed but then i unistalled the old drivers and reinstalled them and it worked flawlessly.

No Os Installed!

I left my phone charging and came back to get it. It was stuck on the google logo, I am able to boot into recovery but it says No Installed.
Is their anything else I can do other than flash it again.
I was thinking maybe the wrong partititon was checked, but everything looks fine.

Assuming that the ROM is still there, you can dirty flash the ROM zip over it, and see if it works. There's no harm in trying that.
But "No OS Installed" simply means that your /system or /boot parition are not detected (means, they are empty). Now of course, the last resort is to flash the ROM all over again.

You need to provide more information. Are you on the stock ROM or a custom ROM? Stock recovery or TWRP? Had you made any changes to the device recently?
Someone please help. I just rooted my 6P. Did a little bit of doing. Phone would never boot just the round circles. So went into TWRP and tried to wipe to start fresh, not it says no OS installed. I have no ROMS's on the phone. No boot images. Been a while since I've done this. Really need help on this one. Thanks.
Download the dp3 , boot into bootloader, connect to PC run installer script after you unzip the factory image " flash all" sit back and wait for phone to reboot.
---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 PM ----------
It's that simple.
Hey thanks a lot. Couple things, and I apologize in advance for not knowing this already.
1) what's dp3
2) how do I run installer script?
I know I shift right click and open a cmd window within fastest - where I'll unzip the file - and I know how to get the phone into Bootloader.
Again, sorry for asking for simple explanations.

Someone please help. I just rooted my 6P. Did a little bit of doing. Phone would never boot just the round circles. So went into TWRP and tried to wipe to start fresh, not it says no OS installed. I have no ROMS's on the phone. No boot images. Been a while since I've done this. Really need help on this one. Thanks.

Download any ROM ( like pure Nexus) and gapps
You can use USB otg to flash the ROM using twrp or transfer the ROM file from your PC to your phone in twrp (it supports mtp)
Simply flash ROM and gapps and viola

Ok, I'm gonna tackle this tomorrow. Any recommendations on a good ROM and Kernel (Verizon). I made nice donations long ago to Franco and ROM Manager.
Thank again, everyone!

Download the required ROM and gapps, connect your phone to pc , type in google, Mini adb and fastboot, a page on XDA itself will come, download it, its small and install.
Then copy the ROM and gapps package to the location of the installation of the application.
Now open your recovery and tap on adb sideload, and swipe(twrp)
Go to your PC, open adb application a cmd will appear, type adb devices, it will start a daemon then will give you your device number, a number should appear. Then type
Adb sideload """"name of your ROM package""".zip
It will start installing, wait for few minutes.
Do the same for gapps
Adb sideload " name of gapps package ".zip
Then reboot
Its fixed

Why are you telling him to install the Developer Preview? He wouldn't want that unless he's actually asking for it, which he isn't.

Please continue the discussion in the other thread that you posted this question in, as I said, let's not create duplicate discussions.

Hey thanks a lot. Couple things, and I apologize in advance for not knowing this already.
1) what's dp3
2) how do I run installer script?
I know I shift right click and open a cmd window within fastest - where I'll unzip the file - and I know how to get the phone into Bootloader.

Developer preview 3 is a Android N preview and it is very fluid, battery life is good on stock and reason I recommend this because it is simple to do, gives you good options within the ROM and is good overall but that's just my opinion.

Lol. Maybe you missed the title under my name.
The dev preview isn't what he asked for, it isn't an easy solution, it isn't easy to come back from if he doesn't like it, it isn't even remotely what he needs. What he's looking for is a simple way to get his phone booted up and working again (a very simple request), and what you're suggesting is he install a beta OS (a complicated "solution").
If you really have a problem with a moderator requesting that a member posts in one place at a time (as per our rules), then I'm gobsmacked. If you'd care to look at the advice I gave him in the guide thread where he also posted you'd notice that I gave two solutions that:
A) Actually address the simplicity of his problem.
B) Give two simple, easy to execute, solutions that are the most common solutions you'll ever see anyone give a member in his situation. Solutions that don't involve having to install a developer preview that he never asked for.
I get that you're trying to help him, but the "solution" you provided him isn't right for his situation at all. There was no need to become defensive and aggressive when this was pointed out.

I'm copying files over to my Nexus now using MTP from TWRP. Can't I just copy evrything over and flash that way? Man, this seems so much more complicated than back in the day. Thanks.
Crap, wrong thread! Sorry! Got confused.
