¡Hello everyone!
I need help!!!
I have a Motorola Atrix 2 (MB865).
I tried to install a ROM: MIUI_3.7.19, and then it couldn't boot any more. Just to the boot menu.
Then, from there I tried several firmwares, like this ones:
- fastboot-p3_edison-edison-user-4.1.2-6.7.2_GC-404-434-release-keys-Retail-05_hktwn.tar.gz
- fastboot-p3_edison-edison-user-4.1.2-6.7.2_GC-384-402-release-keys-Retail-05_hktwn.tar.gz
- fastboot-p3_edison-edison-user-4.0.4-6.7.2_GC-220-EDS-3-65-release-keys-Retail-05_hktwn.tar.gz
- fastboot-p3_edison-edison-user-2.3.6-5.5.1-1_GC-109-52-release-keys-ChinaRetail-CN_chn.tar.gz
- InlineFlashing_Edison_67.21.125_CFC_P3_APBP.xml.zip
- InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.25_cfc_p3_APBP.xml.zip
- InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285.zip
None of them worked. The RSD Lite 6.1.5 emitted error with the "cdt.bin" file.
And in one moment, after several attempts with a lot of firmwares, the RSD Lite in the step 5/12, when it was trying to reboot the phone, it didn't.
I man, the screen goes black. I waited a while and nothing happened. I removed the battery, and put it again and nothing.
I try to power on the phone and it doesn't show any image. Not even pressing the volume keys or turning it on normally.
It doesn't show even the Motorola logo. All black!
And if I try to turn it on, even without showing any images, in a while I feel it a little warm, what gives me to think that it's trying to process or do something.
Can somebody help me?
THANKS!!!
PS: Lifehacker7 > Sorry about the language and thanks for the advice!
English please
well, you originally just had a normal bootloop that could have been fixed, but it seems you flashed multiple incorrect firmware's leaving you with a bricked phone. Next time, read before acting, sorry man...
Hang on though, before you give up completely what region is your phone from - MB865, ME865 or AT&T? Are you still able to access ap fastboot mode?

It's a MB865.
I bought it from Hong Kong in Ebay. I think it's not an AT&T.
And I'm not sure what "fastboot mode" is.
If I turn on the phone, I can't enter to any menu. And the RSD Lite don't recognize it eighter.
So I think the answer is no.
Any hope? :fingers-crossed:

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but, after flashing the AT&T ICS and both AT&T GB FXZs on that phone model, I think the phone is, almost certainly, irreversibly bricked. A warranty replacement would likely be the only answer but, unfortunately, that isn't really even an option since it was purchased on eBay.....

Certainly. And that's the essential here.
Do something right, taking time and attention for it, or don't do it at all.
Doing things at half way, well... gets results like this one.
Thanks for all

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.
are you sure it says
Bootloader
D2.35

looks like she has R2D2 or Droid 2 not D2G
same problem though, maybe, if she upgraded to 4.5.622.A957 not good
find out for sure what model number A957, A956, A955, or A953
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

Thanks, I guess it seemed many people have bricked their phone because Verizon decided to stop people from reversing back to older sbf.

if you get a different phone, it should be on 2.4.33 if new, they may try to give you a refurbished
you are going to send it?
they can just flash 4.5.629 and send back to you
they have the SBF, just won't share
I successfully flashed to att ICS using Jim's method. Then I decided to roll back to 2.3.6 and used Jim's ICS back to 2.3.5 fxz fix zip file. The RSD stopped at 5/19 reboot bootloader for a long time and the screen was off. I hit the power button trying to turn on the screen without thinking. Then I realized that I was flashing! It was too late and I saw FAILED on RSD. My A2 cant turn on anymore. I did not unplug or pull the battery. Any help would be appreciate!

DId you replace ALL of the files and then point the RSD to the xml?
Can you boot into fastboot by holding power button and vol down.If can you just reflash it using rsd lite.Tell me more detail about your atrix 2 current rom and which version of rom you are flash with rsdlite.
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Exact same problem has occurred to me as well.
I did replaced the files Jim created to FXZ back to 2.3.6 from ICS
My Battery was fully charged at the time of flashing. Flashing stopped at 5/19 reboot bootloader for 15 mins then tried rebooting it manually but it didn't started.
Now I've tried everything but it is not even starting in Fastboot
Please help me with this, I don't want to start any new thread so posted my problem here.
EDIT: I think this is a common problem as the OP here also have the same problem

I only flashed ICS when Jim confirmed that it was possible to revert back to 2..3.5
I think there is a problem in reverting back to 2.3.5 once applied ICS update and people should be aware of that.
Everyone should stop flashing ICS leaks otherwise they might end up bricking their phone forever.
100% same to me.
Up to ICS ok, back to Fxz with RSD and stuck at 5/19 reboot-bootloader step, I disconnected cable and phone black forever.
A lot of people they failed when flash with RSD but no problem, just take battery out and return, boot again to fastboot to re-flash. I think wrong file in Fxz not makes this problem, main cause I still don't know ! Maybe we are unlucky man ?
FXZ is not wrong one as I did used it when I had to flash back to stock from lithium Rom last week. I think phone is dead because it is not even booting into fastboot.. I've tried even booting to our stock recovery by pressing 3 buttons but no luck so far.
Its just very bad few hours back I was running ICS and now my phone is not even booting up.
OMG man!! I should have make a thread about this yesterday, but maybe nobody would of paid attention. I didn't really want this to happen to anyone, when flashing from 4.0.4 back to 2.3.5 it will get stuck at 5/20, something like that saying "rebooting loader". Now my phone with a blackscreen is getting hot when I insert the battery and when I plug it without a battery into my laptop or wallcharger and I dont have warranty. I call it white LED of death, when I plug it in to my laptop without a battery hehe , so I guess i'll be paying maybe 200$ dollar for it to be repaired, well if they repair it though, they charge so much here.. But i'm still trying to look what I can do, before I take it to a repair shop.
I heard about this problem when leak ICS for China/HK market 1 month ago, from xda man, and Jim he warned everybody here take care when coming back GB from ICS leak should make your phone bricked.
Now ATT ICS leak was released and all trusted Devs here confirmed that we can turn back to GB without problem, so I thought that it was safe to do with. Next day Jim posted new thread with new patch file. So sad ... I'm too late, we're too late ...

So this is the point that I'm very confused, I think that even failed flashing phone still powered on normally : wrong boot.img --> just jamed at boot logo, wrong bootloader --> screen turn on and shows errors; need to be flashed again by RSD or script. Some man here even not flashed anything, just root then reboot and phone dead without any reason.

I just talked to a Motorola service person he was saying in some rare cases a inbuilt ROM(read only memory) chip which stores bootloader files gets corrupted and in that case it might not even be possible to boot into fastboot.
I don't know how far he is right but one ting we are sure that our hardware was perfectly ok before flashing FXZ.
For me I even made sure that my battery was fully charged before starting FXZ.

yes its getting heated when connected to a wall socket or on a battery.
Did anyone upgrade RSDlite to 5.7 before trying this by any chace?
That might be an issue.
Also, this could be something that was introduced to later model phones. My a2 was able to fxz back, but it ws made in SEPT 2011. Just another thought.

I did not. It is 5.6. That may be the reason. I got my A2 from att in Nov 2011, so I guess it is the same earlier version, right?
To those with the issue, can you not get back into ap fast boot? Either hold both volume buttons down with power, then select it from the menu, or i have found that holding up with power will boot you right into fastboot.

Nope they can not even power on anymore. This is what we all feared. The hk leak had this same thing in it...
Looks like moto will be warrantying a bunch of phones.
I am just not sure why I can still do it...
We have had way too many of these now for it to be user error or an accident.

There's totally still hope
It takes some pretty bad luck for this to actually kill it
just needs to run again, maybe manually
BUT, we need more detail to help. what version of the phone (ATT, SEARET, etc), what os version were you on before (ICS leak 1, 2, ota, GB, etc), what step was it on when it failed, what does the phone do now (totally dead, white light only, can turn on into fastboot with boot failure, etc.)
also, how much battery did you have when you tried to flash.
be specific, and we can help, do not lose hope quite yet.

I can still boot to AP fast boot, in fact thats all it boots from, i was running SVC6, so 2.3.6 and i was trying to roll back to 2.3.5 so i could update to ota ICS. when i turn the phone on all it does is boot to AP fast boot.
Its an AT&T atrix 2, the battery was at 70% when flashing, and i was on step 6, i tried re running it, it stayed on step 1 for hours.

If you can still access fastboot, you're still ok. Just try it again. Once you patch the file, you shouldn't have to do it again.
If it's not playing well try a different computer.
If you can't access fastboot, and no lights at all will come on, you may be out of luck man..

Hello, I just got my new GS3 yesterday. Eager to root and ROM and all the fun stuff. I rooted and unlocked, and used Odin to flash CWM Recovery. Flashed the latest version of Android Revolution HD 16. I wiped cache, dalvik, the whole 9 yards. I did not WIPE boot.img though. Flashed Android Revolution 16, it all went good. Clicked Reboot Phone in CWM Recovery and nothing. No LED light on when plugged into USB or via wall charger. No Download mode, or recovery. Nothing, like nothing at all. Anything you guys suggest?
EDIT: I am not sure if it is Hard Bricked. When I plug it into my PC, it makes a sound. Also tries to install a driver and fails every time.
EDIT2: Okay guys, my fault. Downloaded a ROM that was meant for a different model/type GS3 forum when I have a Verizon GS3 (SCH-1535). Anyone know how to fix this problem? Please disregard this incorrect forum post.
If you flashed anything related to the international S3, Google search J-tag! Or return the device and play dumb...

You need J-tag.
If there was a way to fix it yourself, nobody on here would worry about bricked phones.
Gotta be super careful and read every single word of a ROM thread and if you aren't sure if it will work for your phone or not, just ask and someone will say either yes or no

I guess so. I read something about plugging the phone into the pc without the battery so the red light would come on. Then, you would hold a combination of buttons, and while you're still holding them, put the battery back in while you're still holding them. I guess J-Tag is the only way? Where can I get this?

Same thing happened to me. Needed a j-tag but risked calling Verizon told them my phone wouldn't come on all they asked me was if I damaged it with water or heat. (Either Verizon doesn't care or actually they just scrap the phone) I was rooted and unlocked but flashed the wrong carrier rom. Now I have a replacement phone that cost me $0.
They sent me the 16g and not the 32g by mistake I figured I've pushed my luck enough

First go to Get.cm download a d2vzw rom. Put it on your sd card. Put the sd card into phone
If you have ADB on your computer do
Code:
adb reboot recovery
You should boot in Clockwork Recovery.
From there flash the D2VZW Rom, Wipe Data,
That should save you.

How do you figure? How can you adb recovery when the device wont turn on? The device is hardbricked plain and simple...your advice is simply false hope.
I do have a question for the op and the other guy who flashed an international ROM. Were did you get them and how did you find then ( like was it a site you googled?) I've noticed a lot of these lately and am wondering if it's something that can be avoided (besides the obvious read what you're flashing)
To the adb guy there us no recovery on his phone it was overwritten by part of the international ROM. he needs to JTAG his phone, don't call Verizon. You did this to your own phone, pay the 60 and learn your lesson.

One day someone is going to find a way to unbrick the hard brick, lol. Eventually. Anyways, if it was "dead" then why would it show my S3 as "QHSUSB_DLOAD"? and attempts to install a driver. I'm gonna try to find the right driver to manually install, and troubleshoot from there. I mean come on guys, be optimistic. How great if this problem was RESOLVED? Also, the download mode got wiped/overwritten from a different ROM for a different model of the GS3. What about the Recovery? CWM? If I can just magically, somehow, maybe even push some type of command. Even maybe ADB? Or something in the terminal. I'm really trying to find a solution. So in the future, we will have a SOLUTION.
Anyways, I'm going to be shipping my GS3 Monday or Tuesday for Samsung to repair (If they can) or replace for no charge!
Wish me luck guys, gonna be really thinking out of the box.
Hope you can figure it out. But someone had a way to fix a hard brick.... The JTAG

Okay guys, I've actually have gotten some good progress, I hope! I came across a thread that a guy named (therockk) he also, hard bricked his S3. Sent him a PM, and he told me he got ODIN to recognize his hard bricked S3 "WITHOUT" download mode. He said he found a driver for QHSUSB_DLOAD and manually applied the driver update. His PC, then recognized his S3 as a ID CODE: COM10 - I do not know what that means, I asked around. Some people say that it is the code for when your phone is connected in Download Mode? Nevertheless, this is good in my eyes. The phone as now, recognized as COM10 in ODIN, in its hard-bricked stage. This could be that also, maybe, the phone will be recognized in ADB/Fastboot commands. Maybe we can get something going here guys! I'm trying to look on the bright side. I'll keep you posted.
EDIT: Okay guys, was looking at some screenshots of the CODE ID's. Like I said, my buddy "therockk" said he got ODIN to recognize his phone as a COM10, while being hard-bricked. I am guessing there are different CODE ID's for each model/version of the S3. I did make an observation that he, has a different model S3 ( i747 ) and he got his to see COM10. Which means it was Added!! - My Verizon S3 (SCH-1525) should come up as COM4 when the PC recognizes it. When I do get my PC to recognize my S3, I will confirm that my SCH-1535 phone comes up as COM4, if not, I will confirm the correct CODE ID. therockk's i747 came up as a COM10, that is confirmed.
EDIT 2: Okay guys! Updated the driver successfully! QSHUSB_DLOAD is now Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM8). I feel like we're getting closer. Now to see if Odin will pick it up!
I can probably help you through this problem after work tonight if you are still having trouble. Just pm me around 10pm est

Hey guys,
I'm somewhat new to Jailbreaking and Rooting Android Devices. I was working on my rooted 4.0.4 Atrix 2 today and wanted to install JellyBean. My first attempt I used the RSD lite program to install it. Found it I was using the wrong ROM (I'm a noob) and was stuck at the bootloader. Then, I used Wonderful RSD lite to use my fxz I downloaded. I'm pretty sure i downloaded the wrong one, so It flashed and got to step 5 and then gave me a fail. Now the device won't power on and it's either because I went from a soft brick to a hard brick. Or, the battery died. i have the original charging which i'm doing right now. Please help I'm scared ****less.

If you can still get into fastboot mode, then it isn't hardbricked yet. What model is your phone? If it is AT&T branded, DO NOT FLASH IT!! It is for Asian retail, and international phones only.

Yeah, I was able to get it into Fastboot. When I was able to (Past Tense) I tried re-flashing it with RSDLite using a FXZ. But, I believe it was the wrong one and It attempted to flash and got stuck at 5/23 which was the bootloader. And now it won't boot, but I do believe it charges. Just won't turn on at all. It is under warranty

Thanks. I replied
Maybe you just suck at installing ROMs and should hold the jumpers yourself.

I hate to say this, it looks like you have hard bricked your A2. If it is still under warranty, return it to the vendor and play dumb. Do not tell your vendor that you tried to do a fxz. Good luck.
