My Droid 1 is stuck in the boot cycle, it crashes on the little red eye and reboots and begins the process again. I have backed up my stock rom but each time I try to load it from boot loader I get a "signature verification failed" error. What can I do to fix this. Thanks in advance to all those who help..
What were you trying to do that made it crash?
I installed a battery icon mod that I found on this site. Stupid...I know. Any thoughts? I am researching how to unbrick a droid right now, am I on the right path?
I just thought I would give everyone a quick updated. After several terrifying hours I was able to recover my droid with the Unroot/Unbrick any phone method found at droidforums.
So now my question is, now that I’m back up I currently have android 2.0, build ESD20 on my phone, any idea how long it will take before Verizon brings me back up to 2.2.1? Or is there a better way to do this?
You could try searching around for a rom on this site, but you would have to root your phone. Look in here for a rom that suits your needs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=671

Hello, I have a Motorola Defy which i have rooted and installed clockworkmod on it. I tried to install Cyanogen mod 7.1 from the website. The phone got to the boot screen where it continued to cycle through it thing and nothing more. I restarted the phone and now it gets stuck at the first screen where its says "google". I tried to enter recovery again (power + volume down) and clockworkmod is completely gone. I want to go back to the stock OS so it atleast works again. Ive tried using the update.zip option in the stock recovery mode but I keep getting an error "failed to verify whole-file signature" when using a signed copy of cyanogen mod. I also tried putting my backup in a zip with the same error. Ive even tried formatting my sd card. What do i do?
I was more or less where you are around June or so. I'm no expert by any means, but perhaps I can help. If memory serves I used a program called RSD Lite to flash it back to the stock unlocked rom I got from the "bl7 finally rooted" thread - if you unlocked a different way, I'd try to find your original rom.
Once you get to where you understand how to get back to stock it makes the whole thing a lot less scary, or it did for me. Once you get back up and running, try flashing Whiterabbit. I didn't have luck getting anything else to run, but that one worked the first time I tried it, and I'm very happy I persevered. Miles better than the stock OS.

I cant use the program as my phone doesnt get detected when connected to my pc.
OK, lets start with the basics, if I can remember it right... Have you used RSD Lite successfully before this? Drivers installed? Using bootloader mode? If any of this is unfamiliar go hit the beginner's thread - if you have done all this you may be beyond my help and in need of someone a bit more experienced.

I fixed it, there were a different set of buttons to hold to get into boot loader. The default recovery was not over written as i thought (happened to all my other phones). Thank you very much for you help. It has been very much appreciated.
Glad to hear it.
hey everyone!
yesterday, I got really tired of froyo so I said ''f$%? it, lets try to root my phone and install jelly bean, that look really slick!''
. well looks like everyone as to start somwhere..
so my problem right now, I am stuck at the custom LG logo, I cant hard reset and even my recovery boot but the menu wont pop up and simply restart my phone..
basicaly, I feel screwed right now does anybody can help me on this?
it is probably something super stupid and simple but I can'T find any solution so I decided to join this forum for a bit of support..
EDIT: my mistake, it went in the wrong section

so far , what I did is
root the pone with the one clicker (wich was a success)
did the recovery with the clockworkmod recovery thing,
restarted and exectued this website's tutorial to jellybean (start with WWW stuff.androidauthority.com/g2x-p999-t-mobile-cyanogenmod-10-cm10-unofficial-115536)
and then, look like it failed..
this morning, I managed to get back to the recovery boot screen and found that if I press the house icon it show up a menu.. but this menu giving me access to reboot, wipe cache, data or install update.zip (which was supposed to fix my problem) but this menu is blued out and unaccessible..
dunno if it helped..
right now, I am trying to get acces to my phone doing the no battery boot thing but my pc doesnt seem to recognize my phone + I am at work hehe so I am pretty much limited in acces due tu the it protection and firewall stuff
I am gonna try to redo that stuff tonight at home but meanwhile, if any of what I described may give you a clue on how to help me, I really appreciate the effort!
thanks again for the support guys, I know it can be a pain sometimes to help people screwing some beginner stuff like I probably do right now

I say you needed to use the g2x android development forums on this site to find a suitable jb rom, not this other site. The one click method isn't very stable, so nvflash is most definitely what you need to try to get working. There are very thorough tutorials on how to get that to work. Do you know which clockwork recovery version you have installed? Should be 5.0.2.0. Once you get home, I suggest you read read read. Do as much research you can to make sure you can follow nvflash instructions to the letter. I know I personally spent about a week researching to make sure I had a solid understanding of the procedure.
I recommend getting nvflash going to get clockwork properly installed, then download a rom from xda, nowhere else. I would even say use a gb rom before trying a jb ...the jb roms are hackfest versions, so they have (from my experience) much poorer battery life, and lack hardware acceleration. Netflix and many 3d games won't work. You can use adampk or mazout's roms but they don't have working radio, i.e. no phone/SMS functionality.

Boot into recovery, there should be an option to format or wipe system. Do that then flash the ROM. It won't boot if you flash it over stock.
Also, use the paranoid android rom found in the development section, same cyanogenmod base but works better.

Ok, wait I think I understand what you're saying now. If you can, pm the op of that thread you used to unbrick. Ask that person if you need some kind of different file in that .zip file to work on your carrier.
I remember having to use that guide to get back to stock. Glad to see you're making progress. I know it can be frustrating when devices get wacky. Good luck!

hehehe sorry, I am not fully used to the right terms so I rather stay in the gray zone by using words like ''thing''

My Atrix 2 is currently having some serious issues. Last night I rooted it. I changed the boot animation to what was supposed to be a human eye turned droid eye or something. When I rooted it and attempted to install Safestrap it didn't install correctly. As I am inexperienced with rooting android phones, I didn't think it'd hurt. I don't know if it did. When I rebooted to see the animation it just said android in silver letters with light flashing across it and it never got past that. I did several hard resets to see if that would fix it, after trying multiple battery pulls of course, and nothing. The phone is now dead and won't charge, when I plug it in it just shows the Motorola logo and doesn't do anything, but if I unplug it the logo doesn't go away. Help, please!

Phew, that was close. Hello and welcome to the help section of the A2 forum, for starters the trouble you're facing right now is called soft bricking. It's a very common problem, but is usually solved by flashing the correct ICS sbf for your region.
So firstly, is your phone branded AT&T or is it from another region? Please specify which. Next you need to recharge your battery externally either by an external battery charger or the Mcgyver method. (search the forum for more details).
After you've charged your battery up enough, put it back in your phone and put your phone into fastboot mode by holding the volume down button + power button and make sure it says 'Battery OK'.
After making it this far, you'll need RSD lite order to flash/install the sbf files. If everything goes fine without failure, then your phone will be back to stock and you've saved it! Here's a thread that has content that should guide you with further details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245825 Good luck!

As RSDLite was rebooting my phone I checked the forums and saw this! Hahah but thank you very much! This is pretty much exactly what I ended up doing. I posted this and then read up on the forums rules and some stuff and realized I should really learn to help myself if I want to . Took some time and a lot of mistakes but I put it together. Thank you very much for the reply.

You're welcome :thumbup: I'm glad it all worked out for you in the end. I still remember the time earlier this year when I just got my phone, went crazy with mods and ended up softbricking it for a whole week. It was hell just to get it working again cuz RSD Lite decided to hate me from the get-go. -_-
So I'm glad to help others out with this, but enough rambling lol, take greater care for the next flashes you do until you get used to it!

Well now that you're back and rooted, if you're planning on doing any more flashing any time soon then I recommend you install boot menu manager. If you've previously installed safestrap or bootstrap, clear their data and uninstall them before installing bmm.
With that done, you've just made your phone a little safer from bricking because bmm allows multi rom booting, which are somewhat independent of the primary system. Refer to this thread for more info on how to make systems, etc.: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115715
The first thing you'd want to do is make sure your apps/data is always backed up at all times with apps like titanium backup. Create 2 or more systems so that you can try the bmm compatible custom ROMs which are in the dev section if you want to try any of them. But please, read all instructions, warnings, requirements, etc. carefully before attempting any flashing in general.
The thread I posted in my earlier post above will have links to the specific custom ROMs. If you're doing any other kind of flashing, make sure to again, read instructions carefully and take your time with learning all of this.
Hi, I soft bricked my phone recently.
I was running stock ICS from Moto on a rooted Atrix 2. I wanted to upgrade it to JB so I installed Atrix 2 bootstrap and clicked Bootstrap Recovery (gave superuser permission) and then Reboot Recovery. It went into CWM and I wiped factory data and cache. Before I installed the JB zip I backed up my old ICS via CWM and then installed CyanogenMod-Dev-edison-nightly-20130401-2132-signed.591fan.com zip.
It was upgraded successfully to 4.2.2 but I couldnt get my updated contacts from the Super Recovery app, so I thought to restore the old ICS and backup the contacts once again. I installed Atrix 2 bootstarp apk again and went thought the same process ( Bootstrap recovery > gave Superuser permission > Reboot recovery). As soon as it rebooted the Motorola logo came on and after that the phone gave dark grey screen. I tried rebooting and going into CWM on startup but it didnt give the option of install zip from sd card as it did on my earlier attempt.
I am stuck with a bricked phone and all my work is stuck up.
I read about RSDlite but I have heard it causes hard bricking on several occasion. So, I am a bit cautious about using it and I dont know the exact procedure to use it also. Can you please guide me on how to regain my phone from this soft brick and where i went wrong during my installations.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.

I'm new to the XDA Forums and even forums in general so if I speak out of place or anything like that I apologize ahead of time. So anyway, where do I start? I'll try to give you the short version. So I bought an LG Stylo 2(model: LG K540) through Cricket the day they came out. It was $170 phone. On the second day of using my new phone I got the bright idea that I'd try and root it BY MYSELF. I knew better but for some reason I had this false burst of confidence & thought I had everything under control. Well, thanks to Kingroot that burst of confidence didn't last long and there I was with a 2 day old phone BRICKED. Reason I never posted on the forums is because I've got a buddy who , in my eyes, knows everything there is to know about Android and thats who I'd normally go to when I wanted to root a phone so he's who I immediately turned to but even he couldn't figure it out. He couldn't help me unless we had the stock firmware or someone with the exact same phone and according to him we could some how use a backup of that phone to fix mine. Cricket just wanted to sell me another phone even though I was standing there with a 2 day old phone and LG just wants me to send the phone in to them, which I have no desire to do. I've searched all over the internet trying to locate the firmware because even I can fix the phone if I had that but nothing. Had hoped by now LG would have released the firmware but at this point who knows when that'll happen. I'd even pay for it at this point. Anyway, just thought I'd give the forum a shot on the off chance someone might be able to help me or point me in the right direction. Oh and if you were wondering what the phone does now, when I turn it on the LG logo appears like it should but then right as it appears you see a message in red lettering that says: BOOT VERIFICATION FAIL!!- CAUSE: MISMATCH_SIG_LEN And it just loops this over & over until you pull the battery out.

Source code to rom¿?
I ran into basically the same situation as you. I'm currently downloading Android open source project on to a fresh install Ubuntu 16.04. I am currently in the middle of running sync.
I'm curious if there is anybody out there who would be willing to give a few pointers, on compiling the ROM from LG open source code. They told me I had to use it in the readme.txt.
Im a noob with fair knowledge of modding and stylo not stylo 2. There's no way to say for sure if this will work but on lg mm on h631 u need to unlock dev option in settings 1st. Make sure to check off oem unlock and usb debugging. Connect to pc and you will get a popup or 2, one will ask to allow pc to connect to phone, the second is to allow usb debugging. After you allow both, open cmd in your adb fastboot folder. Type " adb reboot bootloader." should reboot the phone to bootloader/fastboot mode. Then you type " fastboot oem unlock." you will see sending.. Once sending is done type " fastboot reboot." when the phone restart you should see bootloader unlocked on splash screen. Then i rooted with kingroot. Then use rashr to flash twrp. Then used twrp to flash supersu to get rid of kingroot.. My h631 now in business and i just started working on a port for lg ux 5.0. This is the guild i use for a better idea http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-stylo/how-to/guide-lg-g-stylo-how-to-root-t-mobile-6-t3333916. You might need lgflashtool and kdz to unbrick..
NO NEED to beg.
I don't know very much but I know $$$ talks and since no one save the few who suggested contacting lg wants to help, Ill try. At the moment I am efforting a solution via the Chinese. I expect to have a working copy in the next 48hrs. when I do, we can arrange for you to get access to the mega.nz cloud and get urs.

BIN File
Hello, I have a Stylo 2 K540 from cricket, it is having issues with the Wi-Fi, it will not connect to either Wi-Fi or bluetooth, MAC address was set at 02:00:00:00:00 or something like that, I opened the phone and it has humidity sensor active, cleaned the affected area but it seems like it was useless, eventhough I was pretty sure that was not the main problem. I looked for some troubleshooting options and found non of use, firmware is sold for $30 online so it is not an option since I am not certain loading firmware will be of any help. I tried repairing MAC address via Octoplus using other addresses but was useless as well.
I have little to no experience with software on phones, but I like to read and learn. I decided to connect the phone to the computer and "Read full flash" on Octopus, I have created the Bin file, I have a perfectly working phone as well, I was wondering if there is any way to get the KDZ file from the Bin file doing some sort of conversion, or if I could do some sort of fix or workaround with this bin file, I can share it if anybody needs it or if it can be of any use to get the firmware
