Hey Guys
i need your help
I tryed to flash a SbF on my phone, but at 100% my phone did an reboot an now it loops at the Bootlogo.
I can´t access the bootloader again
what should i do now?
ps: sorry for my bad english
Hi mate, can you give us a bit more details.
What was the sbf file you flashed? What was the name and version? Also make sure you got the correct file for droid global 2 and not for droid 2
Normal if fails, its best getting the old sbf file (303) and starting again.
i used the 2.2.2 Service Version (DE,ATCH)
and-developers[dot]com/sbf:milestone2
The Problem is can´t access to my bootloader or to the Clockworkrecovery
no idea what i can do???
please!!!
or do you know what would happen, if i would use my Guarantee?
you cant use your warranty if you've played with.
If you are very sure you are using a droid 2 global and you've flashed a milestone 2 sbf file then this is your problem, these phones are not the same build and you cant use the roms and sbf files, you will need to file sbf file for droid 2 global, follow this link and download the rar file (http://modmymobile.com/forums/649-m...re-vrz_a956_2-4-33_1ff_01-droid-2-golbal.html), flash this file (using rdslite 4.9) and then if you want to use a new rom you can, if you want to flash a ginger bread rom (http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...veryone-4-5-606-rooted-unrooted-versions.html)
, then follow this guide first (i did) and all works fine, im now using the venus rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1259807) after i did the gingerbread up date. If you need anymore help, either pm me and post another reply.

thank you for your answer
My Problem is that rdslite or adb devices can´t see my phone, because i stuck in the bootlogo screen.
I can not enter my bootloader or clockwork recovery.
hi mate,
to put your phone in boot loader mode.
turn off the phone, press and hold the up and down volume buttons together (make sure you are pressing and holding them down together keep them hold down and dont let go) press the power button while still holding the volume buttons and wait till bootloader comes and then let go
you are in bootloader mode
now Launch RSDLite
Select SBF
Start
oh thanks this button combination works!
Is it normal that rsdlite runs for 1 hour?
Once it gets to 100% , pull it out and restart the phone (it should reboot it normally but I find it doesn't always do it) so either unplug and let it reboot or pull the battery out and reboot, fingers crossed it will boot in to stock and then you can upgrade from there.
Did you get it working mate?
nope dude
i tryed many different SBF files, but not a single one worked?!
Is there an alternative?
Is there an option to get from my bootloader to my recoverymode?
because i want to try adb recovery?
thanks for your help bro!
Ok, here's 2 things you can try, the 2nd option will work though.
To put your phone in recovery mode = turn off the phone, press and hold the 'x' and keep it hold in and then press the power button and keep them hold down untill you see the yellow '!' And then let go of them and press up and down volume buttons together together, now your in recovery mode.
If you can't get any thing to load, do this one, but this will put you on stock gingerbread.
Take your sd card out of the phone and download the Full Stock Version (Signed) file from here = http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...veryone-4-5-606-rooted-unrooted-versions.html
Make sure you download the signed version.
Then copy the update.zip file and place on root of sdcard. (Rename anyother file called update.zip before this or back it up)
reboot phone into recovery (X + power key, like we did before)
Then select install update.zip this will install, will take about 10mins to install but then another 15mins on first boot.
Let me know how you get on

I see the yellow "!" but i can´t enter the recovery mode
Ah ok, Your Phone reflashed the Stock Recovery back onto your Phone! (so sorry, you dont have clockmod on anymore, so your going to have to use option 2, but to get in to the stock recovery after the yellow '!' you must hold the Volume "UP" key and hit "camera to access the ORIGINAL recovery options
YEAH this works!
thank you very much
no problem mate, im here top help.
once you've got yourself on to stock 2.3, you can install z4root and Droid 2 Recovery Bootstrap v1.0.0.3, (you can get thiese 2 things from here = http://www.mediafire.com/?t7k4nu87lpuho
these 2 will root your phone again and allow you to go in to recover mode again, make sure you install clockwork again and then you can install new roms on your phone, i recommend this rom if you dont want a motorola rom (non blur version)

4. Reinstall the battery.
5. Hold volume down + power until you get to a white screen.
6. Use the volume rocker to highlight FASTBOOT and press power to select.

9. You will now be on a clean install of Android 2.2.1. Enjoy.
Thank you Phateless!
I've just bricked my phone this afternoon, and been looking for some noob way for recovering it.
It is all because I rooted this phone and might delete some critical apks that caused my phone lost its desktop/main screen.
Doesn't PD15img kill WiFi?
If you read the How To Root. . . thread carefully you will see that PD15img is only partially 2.2.1 and more has to be added to get a full install of 2.2.1 with working WiFi.
After waiting more than a week for an automatic update after I got my phone, I tried the PD15img thing without reading all of the posts and only too late discovered that my WiFi didn't work and a lot more had to be done to get it back. And it appears that PD15img can't be undone. I had decided to take the phone back for an exchange but. . .
That very night TMo did an automatic update from my incomplete 2.2.1 to real 2.2.1, which fixed the problem.
I didn't get the phone from TMo directly and I never gave them my IMEI. I wonder if the automatic update was just luck or PD15img had something to do with it.
Thank you.. My phone hasn't been rooted yet, but I'll give that a try. I hope it's a full update.. That'd suck if my wifi didn't work...

You're thinking of the OLD pd15img.zip that was part of the procedure to undo the OTA update. The one I linked to is the NEW one posted by Football that completely restores to 2.2.1 without issue. NEW radio, NEW SPL, NEW software.
I tested it on two different phones and everything worked perfectly.
You were thinking of this method.

If all you did was delete the wrong APK and it can be restored by flashing a stock image, it certainly is not bricked by any means.

Most people don't know what brick even is they do something wrong and think they bricked it lol I remember in HD2 forum someone did BINFS format and didn't flash rom manually thought he bricked it cause he had no rom installed and only stuck on bootloader. So told him to just flash using LeoCustomRRU as he could do task29 and flash.
BTW NRGZ28 thanks for cooking NRG roms bro loved your 6.5.X work specially the whole 29XXX base as it was most stable and fast to bad HD2 is stolen.

I followed the guide you gave me since i was using an obsolete one and it worked perfectly. My phone says its on 2.2.1 but it doesnt feel like i am.... i remember after my update the market app was completely different, it has this half circle kind of look to it where it featured some popular apps. this version of 2.2.1 doesnt have that. is there any specific reason for that or am i missing something?
thanks again for your help!
The market update itself was a separate update "just to the market app" than 2.2.1. I had to force 2.2.1 on my phone early on; market came later. You should be able to find it in the apps/themes section, or just give it time and it should update itself.
Great post but I really need help.
I guess my phone is from some other batch or ... who know these chinese these days.
Anyways my menu is just different from described.
as folllows:
HBOOT screen
FASTBOOT (gets me to FASTBOOT screen)
RECOVERY (just give triangle makeing out with exclamation point)
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
IMAGE CRC
FASTBOOT sreen
BOOTLOADER (gets me back to HBOOT screen)
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
Don't really want to go with pd15img.zip route to preserve data. (So far)
Thanks
btw - I'm on Simple Mobile so no OTA for me

I don't quite understand your issue here? Is it that you get stuck at the recovery screen with a triangle? Did you read step 7 of the previous posts clearly?
7. Use the volume rocker highlight RECOVERY and press power to select. If you see an exclamation point instead of the blue menu, you might have to press volume up or down to get into the blue recovery menu.
Ok, maybe this time it will post.
Thanks for your answer Genocaust
I'm noob so I'm trying everything that comes to my mind several times before bugging good people.
Somehow my menus seems to be different than expected. Anyways, right after hboot my first screen has following options:
* FASTBOOT
* RECOVERY
* FACTORY RESET
* SIMLOCK
* IMAGE CRC
Clicking on recovery gets me triangle/exclamation screen after several tries i managed to get blue menu by pressing VolumeUP and POWER simultaneously (just up or down does nothing at all).
there is apply update.zip but when clicked returns yellow message:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
Invalid operation
and goes black and not responsive.
After waiting for say 20 min decided to pull battery. (phone works, still 2.2)
Tried above few times. Downloaded update file yet another time, even changed file name using file manager on the phone (i know).
I will appreciate any suggestions. I guess next step is pd15img.zip which I wanted to avoid or stay on 2.2
Phone is few days old and all stock
Thanks again
hi i am having really bad problems with my defy it is a great phone but when i got it it was on eclair 2.1, i wanted to update it so looked around and found a debranding kit that updates it to 2.2 only to find out that its not a officiall rom an now i cannot down grade iit back to 2.1 so i can root it an put a custom rom onto it i dont have the hold volume down option or tap bottom right of the screen, so any help would be very gratefull as just want to sort it out i have searched through xda an some links are not avail any more so i cant follow any guides proplerly i have found a proper nand back up if thats any good then let me know i just want to restore it first then go from there, thanks in advance
i also cannot do a factory reset either, i know there is someone out there that can help me so please come and help me restore my defy to life.
There is a volume key on the right side of your defy. Upper one is volume up and the lower one is volume down. Switch on your phone by pressing power button and volume down key together to enter recovery mode or power button and volume up key together to enter bootloader mode.
Download the official 2.2 for your phone, I beleive defy has 2.2 all over the world now, find the correct version for your Defy and download.
When you enter the recovery mode and see an Android with the exclamation mark, press both the volume keys together to enter recovery mode.
First do a facfory reset and clear cache in Recovery mode, then reboot and keep the volume up and power key pressed together. This will take you to bootloader mode, connect your phone via usb to your computer. Open rsdlite, see that your phone is detected. Browse to the 2.2 rom you downloaded and press "start".
^ this guy also forgot to mention, make sure you have the correct drivers for the defy and the correct version of rsdlite, also, make sure your battery is 50% or higher. The last thing you,would want to do is have to perform the mcguyver trick.................

get the latest drivers and RSD lite, and make sure your sbf is a full sbf, and not a fixed sbf. full sbf is at least 160MB and above. i understand this is for blurless. for blur rom, could be up to 360MB
hey guys, i need the update.zip that comes stock on the sd card.
if anyone needs anymore information:
my d2g freezes at the bootlogo
my bootloader never worked so it has a blank screen.
There is no stock update zip on the SD card. Make sure your phone is completely off turn on the phone by holding on the power button and up arrow at the same time. When the screen glows softly, let go of the buttons and you will be in the bootloaders sbf flash mode. If you get this far reply back

theres probably something saying something about double posting but....
When i purchased my global from verizon, i immediately rooted it, but before, there was infact an update.zip included and its even on my friends global and he has never rooted his ever.
hi mate, was you on the froyo build when you upgraded to venus? if you did, this is why you are boot looping as venus needs the gingerbread build. if this is the case, you need to follow my update guide from here =
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1263722
its the last comment on the end, reflash that, then do an ota update, this will take you to the new GB version, then use oneclickroot, then you can upgrade to venus

your really helpful and i know for sure that works, but my "BOOTLOADER" IS BLANK.
therefore RSD isnt picking up any connection for me to SBF.
instead of saying:
Bootloader D0.11
Battery OK to program or something like that, the backlights just light up, nothing appears, and 3 seconds later it goes back to booting and staying there.
I knew about it needing gingerbread the minute i forgot to cancel the update in Rom manager. now i cant do anything but go into stock recovery.
and when i try to install a signed update from motorola it says:

AND!!! my power button is jammed so it doesnt work but whenever my battery is in the phone it turns on.
Is your power button not working at all? if you can get the device to boot up, you need to hold the up and down power volume button together, this will get you in to the boot loader mode, if not see if you can hold x and the power button this will take you in to the recover mode.
if you can get in to the boot loader, then you can sbf if not, and you get in to the recover mode, you will need to copy the zip file to the root of sd card, but dont use the ginger bread zip file as it wont work, you will need the update.zip from your friends phone if he is still on froyo and then in the menu just apply the update. let me know how you get on.

Nope, But like the post of the log, something was different.
it had 2.4.29 and 2.4.330 in it.
is there anyway i could get my bootloader to show up again?
its been blank ever since i had it.
make sure the phone is switched off, then press and hold in the volume up and down rocker together (make sure you dont let go until it you see the bootloader menu) and plug the phone in to usb (so it powers it up) and then you should be in bootloader mode, i dont know of anyother way of doing it. Also make sure your phone is at least 70% charged.

This DOES NOT work because my bootloader doesnt show anything, (no function whatsoever.) this is what happens.
1. I hold both volume rockers
2. Backlight activated (bootloader)
3. No Words
4. Turns back off
5. No RSD or Win7 notification sounds
6. goes back to Venus bootlogo
7. Stays there until it dies
now what confuses me:
if it boots up but theres no bootloader how does it boot?
otherwise, if it does use the bootloader, why does it show up blank?
it was blank when i first got it because i was wanting to root it then.
The bootloader is launched by powering the phone on while holding the up arrow key on the physical keyboard.

i already knew that,
it does the exact same thing as when i hold both rockers.
my problem is that when the backlight comes on the screen doesnt show anything.
Soooo.... No SBF to fix/
And you're sure the battery is charged?
(It doesn't charge if it can't boot.)

i got my friends og droid and the battery is 100%. its been a week and it still didnt do it. oh well.... on the 11th my contract is up and i dont want to get another phone but... sprint's iphone 4s is looking pretty good now!
Okay guys, I have an annoying problem. My phone after the ICS update does not want to go into CWM Recovery with the Power button + vol down (or up) method. I can never get the darn thing to work. It just loads up until the white samsung logo and then goes black and just vibrates. Any idea what could be the problem? It's an issue because it means I can't root or anything since stock won't allow me to go into recovery. The only way I used to get into recovery was through rom manager and I obviously need super user permissions to do that.
Another thing is, whenever I power on my phone with the usb cord plugged in, it automatically enters download mode. I know you're suppose to hold certain buttons but I just power the thing on and it goes straight to the DL mode screen. I'm thinking these two things could be related.
Any idea on how to fix this? I went back to complete stock and it didn't do a thing.

I wasn't being specific, I just named the buttons off the top of my head. Either way, the methods don't work

My phone was being a bit finicky with this as well, I found the below sequence to work for me every time.
Press and hold both vol+ and vol-
Press and hold power
Wait until phone is vibrating once every couple of seconds
Release power
Release vol+ and vol-

u need to b specific to get proper help.
u stated "Either way, the methods don't work ", specifically what methods r u talking about, there is only one method in using the buttons that works as RabidSmurf has stated, but first pull battery and dont keep usb plugged in, if that didnt work redownload cwm, check the md5 checksum and reflash using odin
To get into download mode I'm holding power+vol up+vol down
after the phone starts up release the power and keep holding up+down.
Let me know how it works.

Make sure it is not attached to any USB. Not even the power outlet because it will take you to firmware update mode (download mode) and hold up down volume keys and power until you see the white Samsung logo. good luck!
i had to deal with this when the firmware failed to ugprade for some reason, what i did was download odin and the stock rom and flash it with odin, i was back up in no time
Not booting
Frnds plz help
After flashing am n m same soc chipset custom rom my phone is not going in cwm also another problem is after pressing the power button the phone screen is gping black n then boot audio is playing but phone is not booting completely.
To be more specific i have cqnvas 2 plus with mt6589 and pne site there was eom name note 5 evolution for a116 hd with same soc i.e. mt6589 hence i flashed the rom it flashed succesfully also but then the problems occurred.
Plz help me fast thx in advance.
I rooted my phone last week. everything was fine until I got CWM recovery, and somehow bricked my phone trying to flash a ROM from a zip file. Now my phone is stuck at the splash screen when you try to turn it on, and when you try to boot into recovery or download modes, it doesnt do a thing. pretty sure I did something dumb and formatted something i wasnt supposed to.
Now I have downloaded ODIN and the things i need to get back to stock, but i cant boot into download mode to do it! I need some help bad. Bless me, android jesus. I need you now lol
