i have tried to do a sbf but i get put into a bootloop after i do it. rsd lite will run the sbf but every time i get a bootloop after. am i supposed to do anything when it goes to the rebooting phase. where is the latest post on unbricking or sbfing.
Is this a Verizon Droid 3? or a Bell XT860?
What was the file name of the SBF you flashed?
What is the version # of RSD Lite that you used?
its a verizon droid 3 and i used the 890 sbf

If U flash the right files the only thing U need to do is wipe data/cache with adb fastboot.
fastboot -w then fastboot reboot n ur done
thats what it was. i just needed to wipe data/cache. thanks a bunch! i love u guys here at xda!
if you are unfamiliar with fastboot adb, boot into recovery using m+pwr, choose recovery, when you get the exclamation point android error, hit the volume buttons and the menu will come up to wipe data/cache. after that a reboot will fix your loop.

Hey everyone I feel like an idiot.
I used jcase's PwnMyMoto to root my phone post camera update, running stock. I received the 4.4 OTA on Verizon today.
I went to SuperSU and clicked Full Unroot in the settings tab, then restarted my phone a couple times to make sure I still didn't have root.
After that I tried to install the update and noticed my phone won't boot into recovery now.
Is there anything I can do with RSDlite to fix the bootloop problem or am I SOL?
Thanks for all your help guys!
Boot into fastboot mode (power + vol down or through ADB) and do fastboot erase cache?
What you missed in flashing the recovery and system.....You need to get these from the latest SBF file and flash them before you take the OTA.
Fastboot erase cache to stop the bootloop then flash recovery and system then you'll be able to update. This is posted in quite a few places a little reading would have prevented this and been able to fix it

Thanks! I used fastboot to erase the casche, now I'm able to use the phone.
Do you know any links/threads where I can find the system image?
Since I'm on Verizon I don't need to re-flash the recovery, correct?

No. Part of the rooting process overwrites the stock recovery. you need to flash stock before you take the OTA.
Thanks for all your help guys!
I used Fastboot to clear cache, then used RSD Lite with an image from sbf.droid-developers.org.
Everything is working great now, running 4.4! :victory:
So, a while ago I started to root my atrix HD and like everybody else I started to try new roms and stuff, I always backed up my stock rom, but one day I accidentally deleted a file from a folder that clockworkMod recovery created, and then when I wanted to return to my stock rom, well it didn't let me do it!
I've tried to go back to stock with RSDlite and myth tools but I simply can't do it (maybe the virtual world hates me)
So I was wondering if any of you could send a me a backed up stock at&t unlocked rom that I could flash with clockwork recovery?
Or can I go back to stock with any other method?:crying:

Uninstall anything Motorola driver related and once that's done let Myth install the drivers for you. With Windows & Myth, drivers are usually the problem when stocks won't flash. Running RSD as admin as well as disabling UAC can help.
What error does CWM give you? Depending on what it gives and what you deleted, this might be a simple fix.

You probably need to factory reset. If you let Myth install Philz CWM, just boot into there and do that. If not, install Philz then continue on. If your bootloader is locked and you can't install Philz, all you can do is a factory reset from stock recovery. If you're unlocked, do what's in the next paragraph else go to the end.
If you were on a custom rom before this (any rom that's Android 4.2 and above) you need to format the internal sd, change the mount point to /data/media, reboot back into recovery, format the internal sd again. Doing a full format of /data after doing all of that probably won't hurt.
There's also the following commands you can also run in fastboot mode. Myth doesn't do the erase tombstones command, but it does the rest.
fastboot erase tombstones
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase userdata
Myth also doesn't do the fastboot erase modemst1 or modemst2, but that only matters when changing stock Android versions or going from ICS to JB to a custom rom...

Flash a stock fastboot, RSD, manually, Myth, whatever works (manually should always work unless you really are bricked), flash the lastest msm8960 Philz cwm (look in the razr hd dev forums), after all that, possibly take a look at post 7...I'm gusssing your a Windows user...but for me, Linux has had better results than Windows flashing stock Motorola phones.
I apparently flashed a bad .zip file that won't load, and now all I can do is sit at the Motorola logo. I've tried the hard reboot with power+vol up and down but, for whatever reason, that won't reboot to the bootloader like it used to. So, I can't get back into recovery at the moment. I can ocassionally get it to reboot to the fastboot menu, but I don't know what commands or anything to use to get me back to recovery. If I could just get back to the recovery I would be fine because I have a few older ROM zips I could flash.
Can anyone give me some advice on what to do here? My computer has ubuntu, so I'm not sure if Myth tools or anything would work?

You can do the following while on bootloader (Volume DOWN + Power button):
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
Where recovery.img is your custom recovery image. Just make sure is in the same folder that your fastboot archive. After this, you should be able to access to recovery and flash another ROM.
OR... You can flash to stock with RSD Lite and then do everything again.
Use Myth Tools to flash stock ROM or recovery.
So I basically flashed a modem.zip file that was for 5.1 on my 4.4.4 Moto X. Yup, I'm dumb, I know.
So now I'm stuck on boot loops and I'm trying to figure out how to flash the stock firmware using Fastboot.
I can put my phone in fastboot mode but as soon as I hit recovery to go to TWRP it just boot loops so Recovery is not an option for me. Any help or useful links would help. Thanks!
EDIT: I was finally able to get into TWRP. I wiped Cache and Dalvik Cache and everything returned to normal.
If your bootloader unlocked.... You should be able to just flash the appropriate modem using fastboot. Or flash all of 5.1 via fastboot or rsd lite

Ok, so lets start from the beginning.
I have a OnePlus 3t and I have been trying for the whole day to get multirom up and running.
Made a couple of mistakes in the beginning (nothing serious) although i decided to use the unbrick tool to fully clean it.
After successfully cleaning it I booted, skipped thru the setup, went to developer settings, enabled oem unlocking and verified the computer signature.
Went to fastboot mode unlocked oem, and flashed TWRP like this:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
fastboot boot TWRP.img
It all went well, then in twrp I copied a backup from my pc (that I made previously) and restored it.
And here comes the actual problem. Whenever I try to boot into TWRP it is just a black screen and a the LED is white.
Only way to boot into TWRP is by typing
Code:
fastboot boot TWRP.img
while in fastboot
Does anyone have a clue on this one?
(Sorry if grammar isn't perfect)

The unbrick tool flashes an old firmware that won't start twrp. You need to update the firmware to a newer version. Try this firmware zip and report please:

I somehow made everything even worse so using the unbrick kit again.
Should I OTA update when in system?
Just tried doing a OTA and while it was rebooting it WIPED the data by some reason.
So now it is basically a clean install that needs a OTA that probably will wipe it again...
Ok just tried it again and it seems to actually update. Gonna report back soon
