I don't think all is lost .
See if you can get into download mode by Holding Volume Down + Pluging in USB
or by using the android sdk and writing "adb reboot download".
When your phone is in downloadmode you should be able to flash a stock rom again.
If you need more help we need more information. Which Rom before? What Rom now? What happens on boot?

Thank you so much for the info. So far I have not been able to get it into download mode or even get to manual mode. I am running stock android 2.1 and was trying to flash it back cause for some reason the phone just quiet working. But instead i flashed 2.1 for a different carrier. Any digestions?

this is a ATT phone, I am able to get into recovery and fastboot.
when i turn the phone ON it goes into
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure)
0A.68
pleas help

Was you on 2.3.6 GB or the ICS Leak? This is extremely important to know.
If you was on 2.3.6 GB you have to use the patch in the fxz. If you was on ICS, you HAVE to use Jim's utility script to get back to GB from ICS.

Please see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650
Read on how to fxz back to 2.3.5. Since you were on 2.3.6 you will need to patch the file. There are instructions in the thread on how to do that also. Read carefully!

I have my original ROM backed up, with cwm its about one GB. Its not a zip file. Can someone tell Me
how to flash that. I am able get into fastbboot and recovery. The only Thing is I can't change my phone anymore.
I had 2.3.6 on the phone. I need to patch for 2.3.5? I'm not understanding.
Please help those is my only phone.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

If you can't get into CWM, you CANNOT restore your CWM backup. It will not work in stock recovery.
You need to fxz back to 2.3.5, and then ota to 2.3.6.
I'm not gonna give you detailed steps as its all laid out in the link I gave you in my previous response to you. Please read it thoroughly and you won't have an issue.
The link will explain why you need to patch the file and how.

Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Assuming you are on AT&T, download the AT&T file from the link you posted in your original post, then patch it with the patch file in the noob thread.
Follow the instructions carefully. If you don't patch the fxz file, it won't flash. Let me know if you run into problems

When I used the file from the site it stop and fails. Or Do I install the patch first. It RDS failes.

my phone was 100% working 2 day ago. I tried to flash android jellybean using this site: http://androidrays.com/1007/how-to-update-motorola-atrix-2-to-cm10-jellybean-rom/
now my phone is bricked.
i tried the noob guide,
1) download the FXz file
2) download the replace.zip ( which is the patch)
3) unziped both files.
4) Coped the replace file into the fxz file.
5) use RSD LIght to flash.
every time it failed. I tried most of the fxz files on the site but no luck.
one question , when i choose the file for RSD i get two options to select from 1) file from the patch (InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285) 2) the FXZ file. which one should i use
please help
thank you

Bring up RSD lite, drag the original inline_flashing xml from your desktop to RSD and drop it, then drag the patch into RSD and drop it, it should ask if you want to replace, say yes. Then make sure your phone is in AP Fastboot plug it in via usb, verify that it sees your device, then select start. Let it go until it says pass.
That is all you have to do. However, if you didn't have USB Debugging checked on your phone before all of this, that may be a problem.
It's the same thing Fall has been telling you, but a bit dumbed down so to speak.
I'm sorry if this doesn't help man..
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium

Oh man.
Oh man.
That link couldn't be further from the truth George, and he is going to cause many users issues like yourself. Two very important things about that link: one, you can only flash stock Motorola images through regular recovery. It is impossible to flash things like cyanogenmod in stock recovery. You need a custom recovery to flash custom ROMS. Like bootmenu boot strap, or safe strap.
Second: to flash cm10 (which is based on jelly bean) you MUST be on ICS first.
Gosh, that link is going to cause some headaches.
That being said, let us know how the flash goes man.

By the way Fall of Enosis, much respect for you sticking around to help this guy.
And King, I really wish I could help you, but if that didn't work, and you wasn't on ICS before trying, then I really don't know.
As long as you can still get into AP fastboot, you still have a chance. Ill see if I can figure out something else to try.

Dang, here's what I'm thinking and I've seen it before, where for some reason PART of the ICS/JB system gets flashed but part doesn't. So one last thing.... George, there should be a number in RSD lite where the flash is actually failing at. Example: 3/18
What part is it failing at?

[Q] Motorola Milestone XT720 bootloop/bricked PLEASE HELP

Hello XDA community, i have solved all my previous phone problems via this site so I'm hoping this will get solved too.
Ok here goes, Yesterday i flashed Brains Bravo 1.9 ROM (for the second time(i figured its the most stable and whatnot)). After doing that it started up and asked me if i wanted to turn on 3G mobile data to this i replied no and i closed it. After that i turned off the phone (because i was getting all kinds of errors i have gotten before and solved by wiping everything.) As i was turning the phone on i noticed it was at the 1st Moto logo was on for a few seconds and then the screen turned off ,and back on. This time in a bootloop. i have tried using a different battery, pulling out the SIM and SD card but same thing happens i can't get it into recovery mode but i can get it into bootloader. So i figured its time to flash the stock SBF file and re do this whole process. While in RSD Lite i noticed that the screen kept flickering for a second or two and then it was fine. While it was nearing the end of the process (while it was rebooting) it suddenly said "please turn on phone manually" but the phone was stuck in a boot loop while it said this but the progress bar said 100% complete.
So xda community PLEASE HELP ME! :crying: , I really like this phone and i dot want to get a new one
PS: this is my first post so sorry if it isnt perfect.
PPS: last time i flashed bravo i applied the notification update but this time i forgot (just in case this info helps)
hopefully somone will have some answers and maby even a solution. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks for listening err. reading.

No you can't go back to GB you will hard brick your device. There is another method of flashing created by altered search for that and also disable your virus guard before flashing.

Is possible to downgrade AT&T ICS 4.0.4(AP Fastboot Mode (S) 0A.72) to GB? My phone is stuck on M logo and I've flashed it almost ten times and nothing. Always tried flashing this fxz: InlineFlashing_Edison_67.21.125_CFC_P3_APBP.xml.zi p
AFAIK GB's bootloader version is 0A.72 too, isn't? So I suppose I can downgrade safely.

You cannot go back to GB, your only solution is get ICS up and running. Did you search for the flashing method without using RSDLite? There is a thread on this by alteredlikeness try that method, also make sure you have at least 50% battery.
