[Q] i think i bricked my droid - Motorola Droid 3

edit: mod, please delete this post, figured it out.
so everything was going fine, i had steel droid 3.0 installed. i did a nandroid backup, and then tried to restore it.. but while restoring it said error restoring data. since then my phone can only turn on to the red M.
when i start the phone while holding X, i can get into the menu that has 4 options: reboot system now, install update from sd, wipe data, wipe cache...
i tried to install the swu.zip, but it just says "installing from sd card", and then after a few seconds the white triangle with the orange ! and green android guy appear, and blink for a little and then just remain there. is it supposed to take more than 5 minutes?
i tried using RSD lite 5.5, but it doesn't detect my device. anyone know what i can do?
edit: mod, please delete this post, figured it out.

did a whipe and what was on the link dident fix it when i use rsd lite it gets to 3/18 and fails
What recovery are you using?
stock recovery cant get any other ones to work
Try this. Follow the directions in the OP. It'll take about 5 mins to get back to a box stock D3.

Then ROM Manager is clearly the issue. That link gets you to box stock software. I'm not a fan of RM because I feel that unless 110% understood, it can cause way more headaches than it fixes. What do you use it for? What changes did you make after flashing to stock?
used rom manager to change battery icon 3g icon signal icon and the notification bar backround
I don't think that MavROM is compatible with Rom Manager tweaks. I believe that they only work with CM based ROMs. Try reflashing to stock, rerooting, and reROMing it. Don't make the changes and see if the issues persist.
i tried reflashing to stock like 10 times and it never fully goes back to stock
How about going to cwm through odin and deleting your catch data and your delv catch. I had the same issue when reverting back to stock ( it wasnt fully there) but when i erased all the data and delv catch it reverted to the stock rom properly. Just a thought

Well, the previous is strange, because I've used that to recover from all different causes of bricks and bootloops and reboots and etc. All took me back to box stock software...
Anyways, I would flash back to stock-ish with it, re-root, install CWM, boot into recovery, and then wipe /system /data /cache /dalvik cache.
Using X + Power then VOL Up + Down, you can get into stock recovery and wipe data and cache. This puzzles me though, because that quick SBF wipes data, system, and cache.
Just for my curiosity, what ISN'T stock after the quick unbrick method?

Oops, bumped Thanks trying to quote this. When the DOS-looking window prompts you to press any key to exit, and I'm assuming you do, do you let the phone go through it's process where the yellow bar inches across the screen and completes the reset?
tried odin said it isent compatible with my device

Are you sure you have the latest drivers installed? Head over to that thread one more time, re-download the quick unbrick, boot up with M + Power, select AP Fastboot, open the shortcut for "CLICK HERE - Something something something", allow it to go through it's 20 or so lines of actions, and when it says to press any key to exit, do so. Now just let the phone sit there while still plugged in (IIRC, this is what I did last time). If this all fails to return you to stock settings... 1. I'll be surprised 2. I'll nand backup mine and make a video for you of quick unbricking mine and everything it does.
If it does work, please don't change things in ROM Manager, IIRC, those tweaks are only for CM based ROMs, and not Mav.

[Q] Infinite looping after safestrap?

Totally new here, so bear with me. lol
I am at a loss as to what to do. I downloaded safestrap and have had nothing but problems since then. My current problem is that my phone freezes during the boot up screen and repeats constantly. I've attempted to get into recovery, but it only shows "reboot system now", "apply update from sd", "wipe data/factory reset", and "wipe cache part". All I did was make a backup of my stock system and rebooted. I don't even have a rom installed. the damn thing is merely just rooted. I can't even get it to be recognized via Pete's tools. Any ideas???
You didn't touch toggle safesystem?
All you did was boot into safestrap, backup, reboot?
I'd SBF to stock you could switch to safe-system and flash a ROM there (use micro-sd card reader)
That's correct. I can't sbf at all. I am having a hard time finding the file to begin with. But both Pete's tools and rsd won't work. I don't have the phone on me now, but it kept coming up with errors saying I was missing directories and just saying my droid 3 wasn't a droid 3.

[Q] Screen Black after installing Rom then boot loop

Hello,
I attempted to flash Trickdroid on my Sprint HTC one. I went through all the steps in the Aroma installer and it froze on 10%. I did rebooted back into recovery, did a full wipe attempted restore one of the two nandroid backups I made. After the restore, I would get a blank screen. All that was there was the Status bar. The phone would then reboot. I rebooted into recovery, did restore and cache wipe, and was able to install trickdroid. Now I am experiencing the same issue, a blank screen with just the status bar at the top, then it reboots itself. Is there a way I can fix this?? I'm stumped
Does anyone think this could be a kernel issue? I think it's strange that it would be booting to a blank screen after a nandroid restore. I noticed when I tried reinstalling trickdroid, it gave me an error when installing the kernel. I'm currently downloading a different ROM to try side loading in ADB, I'm also fine with going back to stock, but everyone is saying the stock RUU's arent available. Any help is appreciated. I hope I didn't just brick my new phone.
Here is what my screen looks like when I boot. It only shows reception bars, time and battery %. Everything else is black and it reboots as soon as the screen times out. This is after re-installing trickdroid. If I factory reset, it will show the lock screen but as soon as I unlock or let it sit it will bootloop. If I try to do a nandroid recovery, it does the same thing, but I am able to get to the drop down and go to settings. It will then reboot itself after about a minute.

Even though both trickdroid and android revolution both say all phone variants are supported, apparently this doesn't mean sprint There is an entire section for Sprint HTC one.

Droid turbo bricked help please

my droid turbo with unlocked bootloader was running on resurrection remix custom rom.
it was working fine then i mistakenly flash xtreme music mod two times then startup failed.
It just shows fastboot and logs show boot up failed.When i opened twrp and tried to flash a new rom i found out all internal storage was not showing and i was unable to clear data or wipe cache.it just failed.
Help please what should i do
twrp says unable to mount partitions and shows 0mb storage.any guess?
Was this audio mod for a specific device? Where did you get it? Have you asked them for help also?
What happens if you restore TWRP backup?
What happens if you reinstall TWRP?
You may have to reinstall stock ROM, with a fresh install and start over.
simular happened to me
i was playing around with my turbo and bricked it.... wiped restore, wiped o/s, wiped my a$$ with it. Major FUBAR. And all my fault.
What i did, was go back, and restart the whole process from the beginning. Fresh downloads of all the tools and everything to be put on the phone. As long as you can get into FastBoot, you can still fix it but it will take time.
This is the link to what i followed... took me about 1/2 hour to get from a paperweight to a working phone.

SamsungSM-P580 - root, TWRP, etc. = PROBLEMS!! HELP!

UPDATED: I was able to get the tablet restored. So I re-installed TWRP, etc. and now when it boots up into TWRP recovery mode, it tells me that It it has an unmodified system partition, showing a lock on the screen and asks me if I want to keep the system read only. When I try to use the "Swipe to Unlock" bar, nothing happens. HELP!!
I have a Samsung Tab A SM-P580. I want to root it so I can use my SD card as internal storage. I followed a couple of procedures but now the tablet is showing a black screen with a couple of blue lines then a number of colored lines. I believe it has - or had - 8..1.0 installed on it when I started. Not sure hat went wrong or where I went wrong but I'm stuck. Can anyone out there help this brainless soul either get the tablet back to where it was or better yet, to it being rooted? HELP PLEASE? Thank you!!
