[Q] HELP!!!

Ok, I think I totaly screwed up my captivate. I was trying to update to froyo 2.2 using the Odin one click method, but that didn't work, so instead I tried to instal it by following this guide on youtube (can't post link - new user)
after I did the adb reboot recovery my phone went to the recovery screen. heres what all it says:
update media, please wait...
update media, finished
#MANUA MODE#
--applying muti-csc...
installing muti0csc
mps_dat val:SER
copy_multi_carrier from: SER
multicsc : can not acces to /system/csc/SER/system/
copy_common_data
I tried to select any of the options in recovery mode, update, fatory reset, etc, but I can't select it. I know you're suposed to use the power button to select, but it does nothing. I think its because of the firmware shown on that website, where you would typically use a home key to select.
Please help! I've been working on this thing for hours and I'm completely lost! Is there anything I can do to fix it, or is it totally bricked?

ok my phones now restarted, and its running froyo 2.2, however its turning the wrong orentation and I'm note sure if I can use restart recovery. I just want to put this thing back to factory software!

use the odin 1 click for stock firmware and to update you dont go into recovery you go into download mode

Thanks! I got it back up and running now. In the progress of restoring my backups. Man after this mess, I'm just going to wait for froyo 2.2 to come out...

Bricked/Stuck at boot animation after attempting to make status bar black...

Last night I tried skinning my status bar to black using this method. It was late, I was tired, and did not see that you need to be de-odexed to apply this theme. Needless to say, I'm now screwed. It won't boot past the DROID screen. So... what do I do? I tried booting without the SD card but haven't tried anything else. Do/could I just do the power+home key and clear the cache? Is there any easy fix to this where I can salvage anything from the phone? I'm guessing I need to use the SBF, but I've never done that before so I'm looking for that guide. I'm running the official 2.2 OTA and I had rooted it. Could anybody please point me in the right direction?

I did the same thing the other day. Here is how I fixed it.
-Download RSD Lite (credit to MyDroidWorld)
-Install the RSDLite 4.8 program by double clicking on the program.
-Download SBF into a folder.
-Open RSD Lite and find the UNZIPPED SBF
-Put your Motorola Droid X into bootloader. (turn phone off and hold volume down
and the camera button while pressing the power button)
-Click start and sit back.
PS. You need to run RSDLITE as Administrator.
Note: after the flash will need to boot into recovery (hold volume down and the home button) and wipe data and cache.
Link for SBF http://www.multiupload.com/NCBVTV0AU5
I ran into an issues after I did this, it would try to activate though US Cellular. That isnt uncommon. just be sure to restore to thought the phone after you SBF and the go to your keyboard and hit *22807 then ## that should force it verzion. If you have any questions let me know

Thanks for your help. Yeah you probably would've had to update the PRL file as that's just a generic 2.2 OS install. Quick question - would it be a problem if I already wiped the cache and data/factory reset it? I just tried that and it didn't help any. Mostly just a black screen now with the occasional flash to the DROID logo. Am I still good to use the SBF?
Also... did you ever get this resolved? I Googled *22807 because I'd never heard of it before and this is what came up. Does flashing to this SBF always mess up your MEID?

I would assume that you would be ok SBFing it. My friend works for Verizion and that is what she gave me to do.

I had the same issue. A reflash of factory firmware needs to be done to get the phone to bootup again, load the sbf version you previously had to get it working again.
Reflash instructions and all the stuff you need are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853674
Once this is done you can recover your backup using CWM.
I still cant find out how to install a custom ROM. Would really appreciate it if someone pointed me in the right direction

Stuck in Bootloop

Hey guys,

Hi opiswahn, you can try to flash rsd lite to reformat your back to stock. First download rsd lite and sbf files of your preference (I am using singapore sbf). Then open your phone while holding power button, sound up, media together. You will go into bootloader mode (black screen). Now flash rsd lite from your cpu and your phone should be alright. Hope it helps you.

thx for the reply, but RSDFlash won't let me flash... see picture

Maybe another version of RSD lite and/or try to run it in XP compatibilty mode.
I had the same situation like you in the screenshot when I installed an sbf using Windows 7 on the neighbour's PC.
But I can't remember clearly what was the key to get it working as it was in february.
Since then no more sbf ...
Milestone XT720 - CM6.3.0 RC3

WinXP did the trick, tried before running as admin or in compatiblity-mode, but nothing worked, so i tried a WinXP VMWare, and boom, it works!
*Edit*
Aw, damnit, every time rsd tries to write to the phone the VM crashes...

Try this
Go on control panel , click on system , click on andvanced system settings then on advanced tab click settings under performance then the advanced tab and click change under virtual memory, then custom size and choose it the size u want it to be ,but bare in mind not to low and not to high , keep it under 3000MB
Also I found that OR sometimes gets corrupt. Most of the time if you just re-unzip the recovery and replace all the items in the Openrecovery folder (except the Updates b/c you'll lose whatever is in there when you overwrite it) on your PC and then xfr over to SD cardyou then you can enter recovery like normal. That usually does the trick. In fact that happened to my wife's phone last night and I fixed it up just like that.
I always hate flashing sbf when I can just restore a nandroid. Not sure if it will work since you started the sbf already.

I had the same issue with RSD Lite 4.6. I found a 5.0 with no problem. But now I saw yours! How ironic.

enter moto's recovery, do "factory reset"

You need to enter bootloader mode, not the fastboot bootloader.

Stuck in boot loop after upgrading to Bravo 2.2 v1.6 by brianlee+updates0926_bravo1.6
Help! My phone is experiencing the same thing... stuck in boot loop. The operator's logo (Singapore Starhub) keep appearing again... again... and again.
I upgraded it the from dexter's rom to Bravo 2.2 v1.6 by brianlee. I've followed all instructions below but after I install the update, my phone stuck in boot loop.
Instructions
Download 1.6 from one of the links above.
Download the Update from above.
Extract the contents of the 1.6 download.
Copy the contents of the sdcard folder to the root of your sd card. (You can skip the OpenRecovery files and just copy the nandroid folder if you already have OR).
Copy the update ZIP file into /sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates
Reboot into OpenRecovery
Nandroid > Restore > bravo2.2-brian
Apply Update > update-bravo1.6Mz-20110926-1328.zip
Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik, Factory Reset
My phone run perfectly well and after I apply this update (updates0926_bravo1.6.zip), I'm stuck in boot loop.
I've tried many ways to recover my phone, but none is successfull, including this thread. I've tried the camera button+power button and then volume up button. And this message appears on the screen: "E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command" with phone picture and exclamation mark on the background.
RSDlite 4.9 + sbf file can't detect my phone.
Can someone help me? Can I restore my phone?
---------- Post added at 02:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 PM ----------
Sorry, I can recover my phone. I tried to press power button+volume up button+media button all at once and the recovery mode appeared. I applied the proper update and voila... My phone is working again.

[Q] How To Install Custom FW?? Help!!!!

Hello everyone,
I got Atrix 2 from my friend. I really like the phone except few things:
1. I can't arrange the icons manually.
2. Mine is Indian version mobile & it doesn't support any Call Recorder. I can install the recording app, but it is not working.
3. There is no bubble type notification for any app like - WhatsApp, Gmail, Facebook etc.
4. There is no quick access Icons in notification area for Bluetooth, Mobile Data, Wi-Fi etc like Samsung.
This is my first Android phone so I don't know anything about CFW & how to install in my phone.
Anyone please help me to install CFW step by step
I'm Running Android 4.0.4 Official Firmware.
When I Press and hold the Power and Volume down buttons, a black screen appears says:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
0A.73
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable​
When I Press and hold both Volume Up & Down + Power, a black screen appears says:
Boot Mode Selection Menu (0A.73)
Vol Up Selects, Vol Down Scrolls
Available Boot Modes:
Normal Powerup
Recovery
AP Fastboot
BP Tools​
When I select Recovery, First show the Moto Emblem & then stuck with logo with triangle exclamation .
When I select Fastboot & BP Tools, my boot as normal.
1. What is Recovery Mode? How to install this?
2. What is ROOT? How to ROOT?
3. Which one do first - Install Recovery Mode or ROOT?
4. If I need to install CFW, do I need to copy all the files in Memory card or use RSD (I seen one video in youtube)?

If this is your first android then you're going about it all wrong. It is highly recommended that you take the time to read about what you're doing and what you need to do to get to where you want to be with this phone. I'm strongly opposed to reiterating step by step directions because I feel it leads to trouble for new users that, too quickly, get in over their heads without the necessary knowledge to get themselves out of trouble but I'll help you with some general info to get you started. :thumbup:
The very first thing you should do is find out which FXZ (stock firmware) is the correct one for your specific phone. Then you'll need to download RSD lite and familiarize yourself with how to use it for flashing the stock firmware. If/when it becomes necessary to use these tools you'll be glad that you took the time to learn rather than searching and posting frantically to figure out how to recover a soft brick.
Stock recovery is useless for what you're trying to accomplish.
There are multiple root methods available and can be found in both the general section as well as the development section. After you get rooted you'll need to download and install Boot Menu Manager (aka BMM) in order to install custom ROMs. There are tutorials on how to install and use BMM in the general section.
The most important tool you can have at this stage is patience. Take the time to educate yourself and you won't be sorry. Good luck and welcome to the community.

Thank you 1BadWolf.
I don't know which FXZ (stock firmware) is the correct for my phone.
This is my phone datails
Can u tell me which FW is that & download link?
Before flashing with the stock firmware, I need to backup all my data. How do I do that?

At the top of your screenshot you'll see the system version as
672.1.18.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03
Go to this page:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=17
And find the corresponding firmware that will say
Blur_Version.672.1.18.MB865.AsiaRetail.en.03
That's the one you need.
I'd say that once you download that and RSD lite then familiarize yourself with what to do with it via:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909319
then you be safe to go ahead and root it. You'll need root to get a good backup of everything anyway. The main thing is learning to recover from a soft brick before it happens. That thread has all the info you need for that.

That's it. Just root and install BMM then you'll be ready to go. After that comes the hard part.... deciding which of the awesome ROMs to install, hahaha. :sly:

I rooted my phone with these downloaded tools.
And installed almost 4.4.4 CFW without any brick & errors.
I like LiquidSmooth 4.4.4.
