Hey Guys, how's everything? I hope that you all are doing great. My friend has an atrix 2 and wanted me to check it out and root/etc. The person he bought it from somehow screwed up the phone during rooting or something like that as the seller told him. The problem is that i have literally tried everything in my knowledge that would possibly work but can't seemed to understand why the issue is and unable to understand anything to it. I would really appreciate any help.
The Issue, seems like the phone boots up fine, but when it comes to "touch the screen to set up" or whatever it is, it stays there for merely a second, whether i click it or not, it automatically goes to the main homepage. Now i have the at&t sim in but it won't read the sim, heck it won't even charge the phone though the phone is charging. I only see the option to dial emergency numbers.
What i have tried: I thought if i would just flash the sbf file and take it to stock, i can try to do stuff from there. I have...
Hard Resetted> no dice
Can't do soft since i can't really access the phone main apps/pages etc
Used the sbf of stock> Flashes fine, everything goes perfect, but phone still acting the same. I have never seen an issue like this. My major concern is that the battery doesn't charge and i only have about 15% battery left. Don't know what to do or what to try, You guys have any idea what exactly is going on here? Is there any way to still recover etc? Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks
do you have the right sbf for your phone??

Hey, I hope so. I got the file from the roof section. I believe it is only for at&T, is there a different sbf that I might need that I might be missing? Could you post the link to the sbf tha you might think I should try?

First off to everyone in this thread, it is not an SBF it is an FXZ for the atrix2, always has been.
Here is the link to all the FXZ files for the Atrix 2, you will need to know which one you have:
http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php
The phone is locked to a carrier, and it is not the SIM you have inserted. You must have a functioning SIM card (does your SIM work elsewhere?) from the carrier or get it unlocked. I don't know how to find out which one it is locked to, maybe your friend/original seller would.

Nope. It's not locked to the carrier since it is an at&T phone. I am with at&T and currently using my sim with a different phone. I was testing it out since I wanted to get something to working

After many issues trying to get phone working again, I was able to flash ED1stock and the phone will boot up to the android setup screen.
Problem is, I get an error message after I click Next. I have went to verizon and got a new SIM but the same message comes up. Verizon will not exchange the phone due to my wife taking the phone up when the phone would not boot and when they were looking at it, voodoo started talking to them so they Red Flagged my phone.
So now I'm stuck with a phone that will not finish the setup. At this point, I just want to get it back to stock working so I can sell it.
Here is the message that I am getting.
"Sorry, this SIM card is not supported or readable. Please contact your wireless service provider."
Any help would be great.
Thanks
It sounds like you're in the same boat as me with regards to your phone's operating status; I'm going to Verizon today to try a new SIM card. I'll let you know if that does the trick.

Please do. I did the same but it didn't work. Only thing is when I got home, I tried to re-flash the phone and I might have left the new sim in the phone that could have caused it to go bad.
Starting to think that its a radio problem. Wonder if there is a stock radio we can flash?
Well, the bad news is multiple new SIM cards did not work and many other members are experiencing the same problem. Keep your eyes out for a radio update to flash.

If that is the reason. Don't know any other reason. I even tried to flash a couple kernels but failed also.
Only thing I could think of is the radio being the issue.

What were you trying to recover from? and did you flash anything prior to ed1

I made the mistake of trying to run a backup from clockwork. That started it all. Then wiped the phone and tried to flash every rom out there to get it to work again. Nice that its booting up to android but sucks that it will not see the sim.
Can anyone point us in the right direction on this? The phone is starting to collect dust sitting here.

This is exactly what I was trying to recover from. I had to use the "almost everything" package that Imnuts posted and then flashed ed1 and boom, no sim card.
So far I haven't been able to get a dev really to look at the possibilities.

There is a known issue with sim cards being fried frequently on this phone that Verizon is aware of.
Some people are temporarily removing the sim prior to flashing.

well today i flashed a rom thats s-on and locked. and i had the same scenario that i had with the unlocked, s-off rom.. same behavior .. i made 2 calls that lasted 7 secs and they dropped.. thereafter, i'm not able to make calls. and the tmobile logo appears then disappears in the upper corner..
i think someone here said it best. i might have had a bad flash the 1st time.. i will reflash today and see if i get the same result. i'll let you know how it goes.

the flashing of roms isnt what i'm talking about.. i'm talking about the hack kit that i think something went wrong in. so thats why i flashed to a stock rom so that i can run the hack kit again to re-root and s-off again. hopefully this will do it..
if it doesnt work than i'll buy an unlock code.

If you ever ran the hack kit, the SIM identifier information has been zeroed out (2048 bytes of partition 7 from 0x80000 to 0x80800) and you can't get it back--even if you return to S-ON--unless you saved the partition 7 backup gfree writes to your SD card when you first rooted. You can ask me how I know this or what it all means, if you care, but you haven't listened to one iota of anything I've said so far anyway.

i think you mentioned also that my radio rom could be at fault. if thats the case, should i flash the radio rom to another version?

hi gene poole.. i installed the offical stock rom (RUU) from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191959
everything is ok, except that like i told you before, i want to buy an unlock code. but when i put in my sim card, instead of seeing a message like, "network locked", i get "phone doesnt have sim card inserted." and it gives me the option of turning off the phone or restarting it.
so i dont know if i can still use an unlock code or not.. i just want to use this phone on tmo.. why is it that hard to do?
Hi all,
I am asking this question for a friend who is oversea. She have Motorola Droid 2 Global. Initially, she was using SBF 4.5.608 then she upgraded her phone to SBF 4.5.629. Everything works fine and dandy until she decided to downgrade it to 2.330 in order to wipe her phone and reset it. For some reason, the phone is bricked. She can't downgrade to any lower SBF version. She's getting error message upon boot. Charging doesn't seem to work either.
The error message that showed up is:
Bootloader
D2.35
err A50,70,70,00,1F
MEM_MAP Blank
Service Req'd
Battery OK
OK to program
Tranfer Mode: USB.
I am seeking tips and advices from the hive mind and hoping someone can help.
Thank you in advance.

This is a known problem, threads all over various forums. Basically, until/unless the 4.5.629 SBF gets leaked, nothing can be done. Some people have been able to convince Verizon that the problem was caused by a bad update and get the phone replaced, and Motorola has reflashed it for some as well, but this seems to be on a case by case basis.

I wrote some differences, it's not real precise or finishedThe Difference Between:
The Droid 2, Milestone2, R2D2,and the Droid 2 Global
I think she flashed wrong SBF, if so just flash correct one, should be fine

if you get a different phone, it should be on 2.4.33 if new, they may try to give you a refurbished

they can just flash 4.5.629 and send back to you

I first used the one click method to originally put a custom rom on my skyrocket. I used the I727UCLE2_OneClick-5FCC9DECF4915ED1C0CD7F42799C3783.exe file, and it worked great. Then, I followed the instructions for the "SKY-ICS 4.2F-4.5 (UXCLF3 Base) 6/25/12 OFFICIAL (4.0.4) ICS AT&T/ROGERS SAFE" rom. I followed them to a T. The phone reboot, everything looked great.
Only, my phone now says to insert a sim card.
I dial *#06*, and it says IMEI null/null
I've searched and looked at numerous threads, but I couldn't find any that helped me.

First I tried the stock at&t kj2, then I tried ICS UCLF5.
There is a fix for that... but first try to shut down and pull battery, sim and sd card for a while.
I now know how important the efs folder is... you know, that folder that's now missing all those files on my skyrocket.

I did, for 15 minutes.
I chickened out and restored it to the factory firmware using kies, and it fixed it. Where did I go wrong? I probably used the wrong radio file. I'm still learning. What one should I choose for at&t lte on my skyrocket?
... and next time, I'll backup my efs folder BEFORE i do anything like this.

Some work better than others depending on your physical location. They are all leaked, except the Rogers one which is official.

Good to know. Thank you.
I'm having a similar problem. After getting my stock Skyrocket I installed the one-click UCALC4 that I had read about from the sticky. Shortly after, I have no 4g or mms and the phone doesn't see the sim card, but I can still see my phone number and IMEI.
Everything works fine when I turn on the phone, but after about 30 seconds the icon at the top turns into a circle with a slash. Occasionally after booting it will work for a few hours but not often.
After flashing different radios and trying to revert to a stock 2.3.6 the problem persists. Eventually I installed the one-click UCLE5 ICS and it worked fine for all morning until I left for work and while I could make calls, neither party could hear the other. I got into my voicemail once but after that I had the same problem as above.
Right now I rebooted a couple of times and it has been working fine for about three hours. I keep trying to produce the symptom but no luck.
I am thinking of rooting and installing the cyanogen mod but before I do that, I want to make sure that I can go back to stock if I need do. I have been looking around the wiki and the forums but I couldn't find anything on going back to stock on the SGH-T959W. Can I just use the method which is shown for the T959V?
Stop.
You do not want to flash these roms. Search this forum for your model there have been a lot of bricks and discussions on your model.

I see that I should not flash bootloaders which I already know not to do. I also see that the T959V is the same as the T959W (except for the difference in preinstalled apps and also the fact that one is Verizon and the other is wind) which is why I was wondering if the going back to stock tut will work for this model.
Ok. I wanted to avoid disaster. The one click should bring you back to stock. Just be careful with everything

T959V is t-mobile, T959W is wind. There is also T959P which is telus, and supposedly there is a T959N, but no one has come forward on that one. The telus phone is very different from T959V and T959W.

getochkn is working on getting the OTA update from wind and should be getting it soon.
I'm also working with him to extract the bootloader files from his phone so we can get a back to stock oneclick like we do for T959V.
I hope that helps.
Ahh thank you!!

Yes, as of now, there is no way to go 100% back to Wind stock. You can go back to T959V stock, which for all intensive purposes is the same, +/- a few stupid bloatware installed apps, but nothing that serious. The 2 things are the bootloader, which I am trying to get from Wind, will not much success but I keep emailing and calling and hopefully someone sooner or later will get sick and tired of me and give it up. The second, is the modem, which LB6 (I think) that only appeared on our Wind phones. The T-Mobile KD4-KJ1, etc modems all work fine, so it's not an issue, but I have a second SGS4G that is stock, that when I am ready to upgrade that one, bhundven is going to help me preserve and extract the modem, so we will have the modem, so a one-click back to stock with our modem replaced in it would get you 99% stock, again the only diff being the pre-bundled app's. I only used 1 click to root+cwm mine as you have to flash again and click bootloader to actually flash that, so if you don't do that, you can then explore any of the ROM in this section only on your phone.
You seemed to have done your reading, asked your questions in a good manner, so keep it up and ask or even PM me if/when you're ready and I will help you. Sadly some people don't read and jump in and end up with a bricked phone and it's hard to want to help someone who just randomly flashes stuff to a $400 phone because they watch a youtube video.
Do you research and reading, asking polite, informative questions and you will get help.
............Now on to read the thread of the guy with the T959W phone, showing a picture of it, with the tmobile logo, meaning he flashed the bootloaders and he's stuck in a loop. lol. There is someone who didn't read, jumped in, and may have a bricked phone. We can replace stock apps, I will have the Wind modem soon, but unless Wind gives me the kies tar, we will never have the bootloader.

If you dump your bootloaders, we will have t959w bootloaders. But do what I said in both PMs I sent you. (the second one gets the PIT the right way)

Thanks for your help! I'll think I will wait till you get the bootloader. Don't wanna do anything major with the phone in case something goes wrong and then I can't go back to stock (when something goes wrong I mean like hardware wise where I would need to get it sent in for repair and then wind will see that it is rooted and modified). But I can wait. I have another tablet that I can play around with in the mean time.
Thanks again!

I can just pray lol
The pic of tmobile doesnt have anything to do with bootloaders. It has everything to do with Param.lfs

Yes, I have dumped the wind params and have flashed it without problems. Upon extracting the jpgs from it, there is 1 additional jpg in my params, the Wind one we get. The weird thing is when I flashed the "V" params though, I got no boot logo as the ofsets are different.
Brian and I are trying to put together a package to get it going. I have a stock Wind phone as well still that I am going to dump the GB ROM we get instead, with our default apps, etc, so hopefully in a few days, we should have a FULL restore to stock for Wind people. Having troubles with the modem not flashing though through Heimdall. Can flash one in CWM no prob but that doesn't solve the problem of using a 1-click stock to go back to stock without root, etc.
still searching for stock rom

ARe you sure you have the 959W? I thought the Telus model was the 959P. The W is the UTMS band version of the phone, which Telus doesn't use, so I don't think you have a W.
