You need to give more information. How did you attempt to FXZ to 2.3.5? It doesn't boot, so you soft bricked your phone. Why were you trying to FXZ? What system version is your phone? The more details you give, the better we can help. Doesn't do much good to be so overly animated, we're all adults here. I think...

Hi,
Were you on 2.3.6 or ICS?
CG errors are not too bad, just softbrick IMO.
If you were on 2.3.6, please find the first sticky post (beginner's guide) for details about how to flash fastboot. You need to follow the instructions to replace files in 2.3.5FXZ.
If you were on ICS, please hang on and wait for someone more experienced to reply.
Read the sticky notes first. Thee noob one and then the others, there should be a fix for your problem. If you have a question ask right away!

If he was on the ICS leak, he needs to put the phone back in the box and not do or post anything until the devs figure out the solution. Let's keep the forum clean.

Then my phone doesnt boot! Just Failure boot in the Bootloader! :'(
Downloader the full SBF and tried using RSD boot gives FAILURE in step 6

Hello..
I'm getting ERROR message everytime I try to enter the recovery mood. Its happened 2 days ago. I've tried to flash the stock ROM for several times and hoping that could correct this issue. Unfortunately, that couldn't help and leaving me dissapointed.
I noticed this issue for the first time when my device cannot process the command line "Updating BLA BLA..." during entering the recovery mood. Its stop there and nothing is happened for about more than 5 minutes until I forced it to shutdown by long pressing the power button. Then, I tried to enter the recovery mood for the second time. You guys know what happened to my device?
I predict that situation is okay until when I try to WIPE all data and encountered an error message with the red text asking me to 'use UI to format system and reboot'.
But, I still don't know what to do. I'm hoping that you guys with kind hearted to please do help me. Thanks in advance.
One more thing, please teach me how to make this flash counter mark (!) disapear......... THANKS.

Mind was replaced new mainboard.
If you cannot, I recommend you read Samsung note forum. There are thread about 'parted' command to repartition to skip bad block. Mind was success to skip and boot but lost a lot of gigabyte.

Thanks for replying to my question.. Will read the forum for sure.. Thank you.
Recently I faced the similar problem twice. The 1st time was using ODIN to flash the latest CWM and then format the DATA folder through the advance setting... solved the problem...
2 days ago, I faced the same problem again and the solution above won't help at all. I use the ODIN flashed the original Samsung firmware and do reset to default through the original recovery and it works. But I lost all my internal data in the internal memory.
So, you could try the suggestion above if it helps. Just the 2nd one WILL DELETE ALL DATA and it is UNRECOVERABLE. So you been warned. Don't blame me if you lost your multi-billion project file.

THIS is the superbrick bug.... and with no warranty for customers in the US.... ugghhh..
There is a way to fix it . You need to bet it JTAG ed . I cant vouch for the guy but there is someone

I have been looking at this.
i have a motorola atrix 2 at&t(MB865).my phone was 2.3.6
1. I try to flash this firmware 5.5.1-EDEM-28-37-MEARET_cfc.xml.zip from this site http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/list.php with rsd.at 7/20 rsd was writting fail.i tried again with same result.after this my phone had problem with boot.the only method for boot was "vol down"+"vol up"+"power" and after i was pressing "Normal powerup".after all these my phone booted normal and worked normal.
2.after i flashed the Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip (ics) from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779968 and my phone was working normal but with the same problem with the boot.
3.after i tried to use this utillity http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805975 .this process had some failure and after this my phone is unable to boot.
with "vol down"+"vol up"+"power" i can choose normal power up, but phone stucks at boot image.in addition i can choose recovery and phone boots at recovery mode.i choose to update from sd with this file Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip but my phone writes that its unable to flash this.
4.after i try to flash InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID28 5.zip with rsd.the rsd wrote fail at 3/20 in addition i use the replace.zip with the same result.
5.after i try again the 3rd step with same results.
can anyone help me?
This whole mess started when you tried to flash MEARET firmware on your AT&T phone. NEVER mix firmware!
And trying recovery at this point is not going to work, as the ICS zip is just a large patch file for 2.3.6. And since it failed on the fxz, a portion of your system is missing so ICS won't install. You need to fxz back.
What step is the script falling at? A screenshot would be helpful.
And for the future, please post questions in the Q&A form.

sorry.please move this thread at q&a
Yes the script from step three is what's going to save you here.
But we need to know where it's failing at.

Well I hate to tell you man. But you are soft bricked until we find an fxz for ICS.
Recovery and cdrom are failing because cdt.bin isn't flashing. And we haven't found a fix for this yet.
Although the strange thing is that this shouldn't be happening on the first leak... but it is...
So you're bricked mate.

ok, i will wait.
thanks.
but please explain to me.i had a motorola a1200 and a siemens sx1.when i flashed a firmware, all the flash memory erased and new data wrote at flash.if i had bootloader, all was fine.the only method to brick a phone was to replace the battery when flash the bootloader(or flash false bootloader).
at A2, why when i write a new bootloader and new mbr(and partition table?) is necessary to flash the same or newer edition of firmware?this is because bootloader is locked?
i thought when i flash a new firmware, all the flash memory erased and writes new data(at the begining the bootloader, after mbr with partition table, after the image(i think this is the kernel of linux) and all other the data)

If you did the OTA ICS update you WILL NOT be able to flash the FXZ back. We have no way out of this right now. And if you are bootlooping or stuck on the splash screen then you are bricked. Sorry mate.

Whiteboi, thanks for your consideration of others but PLEASE, research before you try to help others. For one thing, he is on an MB865 AT&T phone and therefore MUST download the firmware for an AT&T phone. The international versions of the A2 are completely different, including radio, WiFi and the like. NEVER mix firmwares.
Also, he already flashed international firmware which is what got him into this predicament in the first place. He also installed the OTA update for ICS for which there is NO GOING BACK. Read the threads I gave him and educate yourself man.
I applaud you generosity, but if he wasn't already bricked, your advice would have surely/quite possibly bricked him. Be careful man.

Yeah man, if you OTA'd to ICS then I can almost guarantee it will fail at step 3 of the flash process which is the cdt.bin. If you are using the script it will also fail on the recovery portion and the cdrom portion. These are both because of the cdt.bin As of right now, we have no fix for this. Once again, this is the reason we are recommending people to ONLY use the first leak, and not OTA to ANYTHING unless it's 2.3.6 GB. Once again, reference the links I sent you.
You're bricked sir.
Until we find an ICS fxz. Which might be A LONG TIME.
Time to get a replacement/new phone.

folks...i will say it again, you dont need to use puremotives guide to recover in this situation. just flash a stock rom in odin and be done. there is no need to flash bootchains...use section 6 of my guide, then if that does not work use puremotives guide. not trying to take anything away from pures great writeup, but its intended for devices that are actually soft bricked. i only recomend flashing bootchains if absolutely necessary because if anything fails during the flash, you get a hardbrick....then its jtag time!

bootchains are the order of operations for the boot process(aka bootloader). some folks have had thier devices emmc internal memory get corrupted during a cwm session causing the system permissions to read only. since no data can be written on boot, your device is stuck in a bootloop. reflashing the bootchain followed by the stock rom restores the proper boot sequence and read/write permissions allowing the device to boot. the kicker is you want to make sure nothing goes wrong when flashing a bootchain or its brick city. hopefully this makes sense lol

Sounds like you don't have ClockworkMod installed properly. There are many threads here about it. Use the search and take a few minutes to read about getting CM installed.
After that, make a backup of your current setup.
Then, you need to learn how to Odin. You are obviously new and you are going to brick your phone. Learn how to recover your phone first.
Try using Odin to get your phone back to stock. Then, try reinstalling CM and restore your backup.
You'll be right back where you started right?
Exactly.
After you learn to fix problems, you will be ready to take some risks. And, installing Glorious Overdose IS A RISK.
Don't be a doofus that posts a "Help Me" thread. Odin first.
