So I made a huge mistake and I tried flash the new Gingerbread for D2 on my D2G. Now everytime I start up my phone it goes right to Bootloader D0.11. I have done as much research as possible in the last few days and the only successful recovery I've read of is by flashing the stock D2G Rom with sbf_flash in ubuntu (RSD lite 4.7 and 4.9 both wouldn't successfully flash. It also gave the bootloader a code corrupt error when it turns on now). So anyways, I used virtualbox to make an ubuntu 10.10 VM so I could sbf_flash my D2G. I installed Ubuntu, installed guest additions, added myself to the vboxsf user group so I could get USB access in my VM, ran sbf_flash in the terminal, the ROM loads up on the computer but then tells me that it's "waiting for phone." I've tried everything that I can think of but I can't get ubuntu to recognize that my phone is hooked up to the USB drive in Bootloader mode. I don't know if there's a Linux driver for the D2G that I couldn't find, I don't know what to do. If anyone could help out it would be a life saver, thanks
not sure about d2g but try this
"Remove battery, reinsert.
Open keyboard and hold the X.
Then while holding x turn the phone on and let go of the power button but keep holding the X
You should get a little green android. Now let go of everything.
Now push the volume up and down at the same time. A blue menu should come up allowing you to clear cache and wipe/restore. "
for anyone who has trouble getting through bootloop problems
Nothing is going to help him except flashing an actual D2G sbf to the phone!
You can't flash an SBF for a D2 to a D2G no more than you would flash a microwave firmware into a Refrigerator!
He screwed up his radio because the SBF expects a CDMA radio and the D2G has a Hybrid CDMA/GSM
Impatience sometimes leads people to do very dumb things!

Yeah, doesn't work.
The phone boots straight to the bootloader and due to failed gingerbread install, well, it removes a lot of the core pieces of the D2G's boot process(aka, it has no more recovery mode available).
RSD-lite also fails at BP passthrough.
Anyway, to the OP;
After going through the past, ehhh, 4 hours or so trying to get this to work, I'm going to just say that you're not going to get it to work via virtualbox. Whenever I tried to connect the phone via USB and have it recognised in the virtual machine, virtualbox would either 1. Outright crash or 2. Give an error on connecting it.
You're going to need to burn the ubuntu .ISO to a disc and use it as a livecd and do everything off of it. Which, honestly, isn't that bad.
I used directions off of here, replacing with the .sbf from here.
For whatever reason I couldn't completely copy over the .sbf via USB, so I just downloaded while on the livecd.
In any case, I can confirm it works, which is great.

The free version of Virtualbox does not support usb. VMware Player-free and supports usb (and better than Virtualbox imo). I can't post the link do a search for VMware Player 3.0.
My sidekick was soft bricked so i used odin to recover it. now when i plug it in it goes immediately to the download mode screen and is recognized by odin. problem is is it restarts after min or so. odin starts flash modem passes, kernel passes, but while flashing the factoryFs, it gets to 53% and the phone restarts and it fails. it does this in oneclick odin and also in odin3. any help would be much appreciated. the phone wont work unless plugged in and it restarts every min.
Have you used Odin before?
If not, try downloading a new recovery image for your device.
You'll have to use the ability to search the interweb to get yourself one. Go get it.
Try reinstalling drivers for your phone on your OS. Reinstalling JRE (Java Realtime Enviroment) backup and clear your sdcard, then do as you have been doing before and let me know if you can get somewhere, thanks!

yes, ive used orin before with no problem. my little girl plugged my phone while it was flashing and causing it go to the phone-!-computer screen. I was able get it out of that but now its doing what i stated earlier. i been lookin for the image you mentioned but it seems all the links but so far all the link are bad or have the fbi warning on it. imma keep trying to look for it though.
Ive reinstalled the drivers several times, changed usb ports, i only have one usb cord that i could get to work so im stuck s far as that goes. not sure how to do the jre but ill google it, in all the threads i read on here your the first to mention jre. i havent had a sd card in the phone since it messed up, should there be? i let you know if it works. thanks
Hello and thanks in advance, FIRST THINGS FIRST I have searched and have spent close to 48 hours reading and attempting to resolve this through KDZ_UPD and Reflashing CM7. Im having trouble with my phone trying to reflash the V21E baseband using KDZ. When i launch KDZ software update it only looks on port 1 and 2 then I get the "Phone Was Not Found" error. I powered off one day and pulled the battery then reset to find the "No Service" and ? for my battery. I was using CM7 for about Two months prior without any problems when this happened. Now i am currently back to stock 2.3.3 with stock recovery. From what i understand when i hold both volume buttons i should see three items pop up in my device manager however i only see nvidia usb boot recovery yada yada yada.... and that is only when i hold both volume buttons. While holding the volume down button it goes into S/W update but nothing in device manager ...... does this mean its bricked (I know some people say its not possible but not possible bad luck runs in the family) and if not how would i go about getting it to connect?
P.S. I have tried several different machines some xp pro(and a vm) and some win 7 ultimate, and several different cables on each...
Please help and offer some advise before i loose my marbles!
Thanks in advance
Also if this is in the wrong place i apologize i didn't want to resurrect an obsolete thread.
for ****s and giggles, click on the "show hidden hardware" checkmark within the device manager. Maybe there are borked and need to be removed / reinstalled on the XP install?

Nothing there out of the usual... thanks for the quick reply. do you think I'm bricked?
Ok so i had somewhat of a breakthrough... i connected my phone and it found the lg port 4 under device manager.
So i started KDZ then about half way through it disconnected...... sending a bunch of authentication errors and corrupting my V21E_00.kdz file...
now it wont connect through any cables i try.... any thoughts?
For readers with input I am in a similar situation but am getting the bootloader up and LG logo but am also unable to enter recovery... so advice pertaining to the OP prior to the device going link dead is also valuable and sought after.

Ok for reasons unknown i had a brilliant idea which worked..
I had an mp3 player years ago that for some reason i would not connect to the computer unless (dont ask me why) I would put it in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes.
Anyways i figured id try this and it worked. all 3 devices in device manager popped up, set the cpu priority for KDZ to high and flashed the baseband!
Booted up, just fine however, i reboot the device and now i am in the same boat with the no service. going to try to flash cm7 and see if anythings different...
Ok so i flashed cm7 and the baseband worked on first boot up but after restart it was unknown again..
Can anyone confirm this is probably hardware?
Thanks!
I have read lots and try even more. I really need help. I hope its clear to someone.
I was doing great prior to 4.1.1. I used Mobile ODIN. All was awesome.. rooted.. I was running 4.1.1 and it was rockin! But I just HAD to mess with good. I wanted to overclock it with the c10 kernel that I love. It doesnt love me. No I GET NOTHING past the Samsung logo. hours... nothing but the logo. I have gone into recovery and tried to use the file I upgraded from.. but I get an error. Status 7. I downloaded every version I could find and uopdate from external card.. all 64 downloads failed from either not being signed or the status 7 eerror because of something in my system.
I run Linux ... but I now setup XP in virtualbox so I could run Keis and stuff. I am in download mode... it is recognized through the drivers but I have not successfully flashed anything. A few times, I would get red and fail. I dont know what version I am on and I dont know what version I should try to flash ... and odin? or through recovery?
Keis cant connect because I cant boot the 3113. It tried to register the MTP drivers but I dont think it ever gets to register successfully.
So I am at a huge impasse. I have given up. I try to flash the original 4.0.4 through odin 1.85 but I think I am doing something wrong.
Update... Now I am only able to get into download mode. Otherwise it keeps flashing on and off showing the Samsung galaxy tab 2 screen... Then off... Then back.... Then off

I just went through the exact thing you did, I had to restore 4.0.4 through Odin. Then went into normal recovery and did factory restore and wipe. It will take about 5 minutes but it will boot back up.
c10? do you mean CM10, if so YOU CAN'T USE A CM10 KERNEL ON THE STOCK ROM, it's right there in the OP for the CM10 overclock kernel. With the tab in download mode connect it to computer and use Odin to flash the stock ROM.
Yes, I didnt read as I should have. Dumb on my part.
Both of your advice is correct, too.
BUT!!!! I was fighting something else. I had 2 (TWO) usb cables malfunction this weekend. ahhhhhhh It wasnt working on virtualbox because of my bad cables. Also, I figured out that I had to reboot the device after I tried pushing something through odin and then reconnect. Otherwise, for some reason, it would not correctly reset the communication. I think it was just a situation involving my setup via-linux computer running xp through the virtualbox.
Good to hear... Bricked posts always make me sad....:thumbup:

Multipost sorry
I'm stumped with this issue of my Motorola Razr HD LTE XT925 Rogers version 4.1.2 being in a boot loop. It started when I did a factory reset to try and fix some camera issues that I was having it started up with the Motorola red M icon then went to proceed with the factory reset with the android icon with the spinning blue object then restarts and just does a loop I have tried some steps that I found that I will list but all are unsuccessful and I did try them several times. It is stock firmware but was rooted with one click rooting program can't remember the name I did nothing else to the firmware.
Power + volume down for 10 seconds (simulates a battery pull)
Stock recovery tried wiping data and cache and then rebooting
Tried to use the boot menu normal start up and factory options
I did however get it to boot to the Rogers logo screen once but it just froze and had to restart it
I am currently trying get ADB tool to installed and get it working to see my phone as well as RDS Lite 6.1.6 it wont show any info about the phone but when in fastboot mode RDS Lite see it as connected in fastboot but no info about the phone shows up in the top left box as it has shown before also tried Super ADB Tool it show nothing at all I will continue to try and get the tools working.
Any help in getting the phone to boot normally is greatly appreciated.
I was also wondering if any body knows a good way to completely wipe the razr XT925 and restore the stock firmware that would also help.
OK so I have ADB installed and working I think put my XT925 in fast boot mode then I put in code adb devices in to the windows command console but show nothing listed and my phone says it is in fastboot mode and usb is connected and windows sees it as well but not ADB. There is no errors ether I am so confused as to why ADB and RSD show no info about my phone? I will see if its any of my drivers that are missing.
I went ahead and tried to flash my phone with RSD lite 6.1.6 with no luck the boot loop is preventing it from proceeding with the flash is this just a lost cause and there is no fix for it. The only thing I can think of is that I have to unlock the boot loader is that even an option when I can't even get boot into android? Any one got any ideas?
I was messing a round with my phone and try to get it working with any of the tools and had turned of the phone to stop it from constantly showing the red M icon and the android icon with the blue spinning object over and over but still had the phone plugged in to the computer and was looking in device manger in windows and seen this QHUSB_DLOAD with no drivers for it and looked at the VID & PID ids (USB\VID_05C6&PID_9008
) and searched for drivers thinking that is what is missing for my phone as I have never see it before and it is Qualcomm modem flashing port I don't know what to do did really mess up my phone by just doing a factory restore?
Some help or clarification would help a lot now as it is a bit troubling that I am unable to fix the Motorola Razr XT925 and might be bricked just by doing a factory restore. :silly:
OK I am getting desperate here I will do anything to stop it from looping I have even tried house of motos way just the same thing still if I can stop it from looping I can get it to work but does anyone knows a way to wipe the phone completely or stop it from this infuriating loop???
Just as a side note I found that forcing it in to normal start up with the wall charger plugged in it will charge when done then it will show the rogers logo like its booting but does nothing.
I have searched the forms and google now for 2 days about any way to fix the boot loop but all just say to do things that I have tried many different ways many times and the tools don't work or will work like RDS but it is unable to continue do to the loop of it doing a factory restore then restarts.
If any body has any ideas at all or can at least point me in the right direction would be a life saver I will even jtag the phone if i have to, if even that's possible

Thanks for the reply, I have gone into fastboot mode and used RSD to try and flash the stock rom but when it restarts the phone its unable to countiue becuse it is uable to get past the bootloop
If your phone is bootloader locked you can always take it back to the carrier, that's it if you have guarantee. I suggest you try a earlier version of RSD lite, 6.1.4 for example, and see how it goes.

OK, not able to take it to Rogers some issues with doing that but will try RSD lite 6.1.4 besides that no other ways?
I had the same issue yesterday. Received a phone call and my phone shut off and started looping on the red M logo, but no further. I did everything in my power to get RSD Lite and ADB to recognize my phone in fastboot mode. Nothing. Then, I moved the USB port to another port on my laptop, and viola, RSD Lite picked it up, but ADB never did. Using the stock firmware available for my 926, I was able to revert back to the latest version of JB for my phone. I did also have to run RSD Lite in *administrator mode* in order to get success. Hope any of these tips helps you out.
Also, even though I was successful in flashing, I was still in loop mode until... I had to wait for the battery to die and the phone to shut all the way off. Then after powering up, it came up. I tried the volume down + power key, but it would only reset the phone, it would not completely power it off like it needed. This is not something I have seen on any forum anywhere, so hopefully it helps.

Thanks for the reply, I was thinking along the same lines as that but trying it on a freshly installed windows plus on different computer and just have RSD lite 6.0 and my Motorola drivers for my phone installed. I was thinking that it was my current motherboard that has a Intel usb 3.0 controller on it and my old motherboard did not as I manually updated my phone from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2 before on my old motherboard and had no issues and will fallow the instructions to the letter and will triple check as well. I will see how this goes and hope it works as its my last option to get it working.
OK so trying to reflash the phone from a different computer with a fresh install of windows buy did not work.
I was looking though the options in the android system recovery menu and two options stood out are:
apply update from external storage
and
apply update from ADB (wont work as ADB does not see the phone)
would doing an update with an SD card with the firmware on it work or is it for some other purpose?

I'm not sure, never flashed that way. If it isn't too much to ask, can you tell me the process you are following to flash the stock rom step by step?, to see if I can somehow help you out, it's really odd It doesn't work.

Thanks for the reply, The steps I take to flash my phone is to first put my phone in to fast boot mode then connect my phone to the back of my pc then start up RSD Lite and add the latest firmware for my XT925 in RSD then let it load the firmware and it restarts the phone. it starts up to the non animated red M icon then the android with the spinning blue object in its chest comes up but then shuts off and restarts and have left it for several hours until it died and had to recharge it up.If I can I will post a video of how I flash it and what the phone does.
also is it normal for RSD Lite not to show the imei number of the phone or any thing about it in the top left box (Device properties) when you click on the modal?, all I get is N/A in Device properties box.
Yes, that is completely normal, that only appears when the flash is succesful and you get past the "select language" screen, but seeing that you're stuck in the M logo means that you haven't got there yet, in the mean time it will still appear no imei and no info.

Your build to flash is found here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/
Search for the one the phone brought when it was just bought, it has to be from your carrier.
Btw: did the flashing gives you any errors at all or not? Also, do you have bootloader unlocked? Just some details I'm curious, but seeing your phone does finish the process and restarts means it probably doesn't get any errors, anyway I'm just curious.

thanks for the reply, I have just tried the the steps in the link you provided and I used RSD lite 6.1.4 and got the 4.0.4 Rogers firmware for my XT925 that it originally came with and waited an hour but just did the same thing, I don't get any errors when flashing although RSD displays to start the phone up manually and I have a locked boot loader (Device is LOCKED: Status Code: 0) I can how ever get it to go to the animated red M icon and then the rogers logo by selecting normal power up from the boot menu but doesn't boot in to android.

Ok, so I think I maybe doing something incorrectly so I will put all the steps I did to reflash my phone and will add some pics and a video if possible.It took me a few days to get another phone to use for vids and pics the phone I used to for video and pics Samsung Captivate, unbrickable ya can't kill it.
1. I have installed RSD Lite 6.1.4
2. Installed the latest Motorola drivers by down loading the Motorola Device Manager
3. Down loaded the firmware for my phone android 4.1.2 full file name ---> 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQL-12.2_CANADA_VANQJBLTEFRCI_P004_CFC_fb.xml.zip
4. Put my phone in fast boot mode then connected my phone to my netbook on the side or on the back usb 2.0 port on the PC with the original Motorola usb phone cable tried both to be sure
5. Started up RSD Lite 6.1.4 and load the firmware and selected Decompress only
6. Checked RSD Lite to make sure my phone is connected and showing up and RSD Lite shows (Fastboot VQUISH_U S USB N/A Connected)
7. I then selected start button on RSD Lite and it flashed the firmware with out issues or errors
8. phone restarts fine from fastboot left it for 1:30 RSD displays to reboot the phone manually but the phone does not do anything else but reboot constantly left the phone doing that until it ran out of battery
