Okay so my phones bricked. I tried rsd lite it said "cdt failure". Then I ran the Fix cdt batch and i thought everything was fine. NOT. Its still say cdt failure!!! Never encountered this before HELP ME!!!
Try using RSD lite again from a different computer. I had bricked mine as well for awhile but I used someone else's computer to flash and found out it was my computer and not RSD lite or my phone. I hope this helps you.
Are you running rsd as administrator?

Did either of these solutions help?
On a side note, good call with running as Administrator, i hadn't actually thought of that. YEY User Access Control!
Well this is weird.. apparently there is a select zip(flashme.zip) that I HAVE TO use. It took forever finding it. The One Stop Shop didnt even have it there. But I got it.
Not sure this belongs in this forum.

Do you have a copy of the full 893 xml flash? If so get the 893 xml zip, unzip, replace the cdt.bin, flashed back with RSDLite... then manually do the Zerg thing, and manually edited the mount_ext3.sh (if you want to keep root)...
then update to .901 now, or .902 when available

I'm not sure whats going on with my D3. However, I have RSD and I have .890 and .959 downloaded as well as Fastboot.
What I want to do is just wipe the phone completely and just flash it like its a brand new phone.
Anyone know how to do so? Please post a link or instructions, I would greatly appreciate it.

Follow the first portion of the instructions on how to flash back to original 5.6.890. Note the making of a folder and it's name for the 890 flash.
Ignore the part about flashing the new ROM. These are the best instructions I've found so far for flashing back to stock via RSD lite.
Good luck, keep us posted.
Download and follow exactly and you'll be good to go.
Hope that helps.

I'm stuck.
Let me do some looking when I get home tonight. I remember there being a file for certain versions of XP that helped some people and they couldn't flash without it.
I never had it happen personally, but I know those that did were terribly frustrated.
I also hear the 959 version is easier to flash for some reason. Never flashed that version, so this is only hear-say. But I know it did flash easier according to posts.
I will try to dig up a link for you.
i am getting the same thing also getting the bad CG boot.. now this may be a fix but idk how this guy got it it.. i have been asking eveywhere maybe you guys could help me... here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248721
I found this by Psouza. He is likely the foremost expert on making things easy as far as unbricking your D3. Rumor has it he has a set of unbrick tools floating around this forum somewhere, though I haven't found it yet. Try in the Development thread, for sure it has to be there somewhere.

For those of you having problems flashing this and/or are suspicious of flashing ebr, mbr, and parts of the bootloader, you can selectively just flash the rest of it.

I also saw that flashing the pre-installs file alone first helped someone. That file borked on me once, but I was able to adb it over and then execute it via adb to get my phone unbricked.
Please let us know what works for you, as all of this is a work in progress right now.
Good luck!
i don't know to much about adb and are looking for help on pre-installed files. I don't understand what that means or how to go about it? i also cant get past the bootloader screen, "invalid CG version". i can not boot up at all.
How bricked are you? can you boot into CWM? Are you able to boot into tools, or how far can you get?
What version were you running? 5.959 (stock) or 6.890 OTA or Leaked OTA or Soak test (all the same as far as 6.890 goes).
i can get into boot tools and just tryed another flash got to step 6 till it failed instead of 3.. I'm running stock. Cannot get passed boot tools... scratch all that just tried to flash again just on the off chance it mnight work and i got it. Going to try and re-root and CWN recovery with sdteel froids rom... will keep you in the loop
Awesome!!
Here is the link about the adb commands for preinstall.sh
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17196391&postcount=88
It helped me when I borked my leaked update. I ran into the same problem as limaxray did with too many files in /system. So make sure you clean out any apps you made into system apps before trying the update via the standard update route, and that all stock system apps are in place and properly named.
I had to remove some that updated partially with the leaked update when mine borked. I used the posted system dump to push them to the phone and then the update ran properly and updated them anyhow.
If for some reason re-rooting doesn't work for you. Go to /system/bin and remove su, busybox. Do the same in /system/xbin. For some reason if you already have them in there when you run the process, it will say success but no root after reboot. My 2c as it happened to me. You do not need to remove superuser.apk, but you will have to update it in the market after you re-root.
Congrats!!
I see now too there is a fastboot and moto-fastboot. moto-fastboot has worked for some who had issues from what I've found.
Keep us posted, and smile knowing you've recovered from a bork; none of us got where we are without doing it at least once, so you're in good company.
re-rooted and installed bootstrap, just got steel droid all loaded up and all is good.... thanks for your speedy responses and detailed instructions and links. I realy think all that happened was i took everything aet it sone last time tried to flash and it went threw. All i used was RSD lite and flashed the 8.6.590 fast boot file and after a several retries it went threw. If anyone needs help on this i will post the file links if you need the ones i used
Ok I know there is a lot of post like this but I only got 5 days to fix this,I have rooted my phone,i have put a ROM on it, then unrooted the phone to fix a problem i was having with the phone.So all was fixed root was back on then my phone locked up,the only thing I could get to is fastboot,I looked all over the web and every form i could find to fastboot stock ROM back on my phone,either gave a me a no good link or the file was not working on the phone or there is a bigger problem with the phone than i think,pleas help me,
The phone I have is the Droid Bionic
I whent to recovery and did a rest on the phone,every thing came on ok but no 3g/4g net work and can not get the OTA up date,Power the phone off and turn it back on it goes to fastboot
Download RSDlite 5.6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=784077&d=1321414457
Make sure your drivers are up to date.
http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...5.2.1 64-bit&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13160433711795
Then FXZ through RSDlite to stock 902.
http://www.fileserve.com/file/M7822Z4/VRZ_XT875_5.9.902.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml.zip
You must be in AP Fastboot to do so.
(Make sure your phone is charged because if it dies while flashing this, you will have a very expensive paperweight....forever)
You will then be able to root without problems.
This may help.

Can someone help my poor Bionic? All the links to restore a bionic are dead and its like a cemetery here nowadays... The Bionic was the most valued phone at one point, with its duo core and LTE together for the first time. gee... How said that the Bionic gets no love...
Anyway if someone can point me in the direction of a solid restore I would really appreciate it. I have rsd and a file but for some reason my bionic doesnt show up in rsd. Any links would be great thanks guys...
Are all the current drivers installed on your computer? What system are you using? What bit?

What caused this mess to begin with?
What system version were you running? 902?
I might be able to help you get this phone up and running again. It is very hard to totally brick the bionic!

You never mentioned if you installed the newest drivers. Drivers will help RSD Lite see your phone when you plug it in.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I did install the latest drivers and my phone is not recognized by any fastboot program However I can command it manually. So I did so only thing is I hve restored to 886 and no radio. I tried mot-fastboot flash radio radio.img but i still dont have a radio. If I had a radio zip that would help maybe... Or if my stupid phone would just flash via rsd that would be great but doesnt look like that will happen. Thanks again
Edit: My new core i5 lenovo was the issue. My old Laptop fixed it like a charm. Thanks to all you faithful bionic owners lol. Seriously though why does the best network get such lack of development on its phones... Sad, Even the Droid Charge was left with no love...

They worked for me and actually I'm back to running Eclipse latest 904 build updated a few days ago after running the 902 rebuilds referenced previously and also figuring out my main problem with Motorola's FastBoot Recovery was USB cable and port related. I simply had to use a new cable and USB port on the back on my computer to finally get FastBoot recovery to work.
Either way, it saved my Bionic and I'm now running Eclipse 904 (build 4 - 04/30/12) - h t t p://eclipserom.com/vforum/showthread.php?1612-ROM-Eclipse-Bionic-Test-Build-05-5-1-12 without problems. Sorli...

Well hello, start right out. My bionic is stuck in ap fastboot. I was running .905 stock, and I had rooted it previously. Decided to try eclipse 3.0 last night. Installed bootstrap recovery, I did research beforehand, did everything the multiple threads told me to. Installed bionic bootstrap. Rebooted into recovery, wiped numerous times after nanbackup. Rom flashed fine, but rebooted and it would not go past the Motorola symbol and dual core screen. Let it sit at that screen for about 20 minutes, pulled the battery. Tried rebooting into recovery and found it doesn't work like previous phones I rooted. Did research, and found out about the recovery issue, and how to try to restore phone to stock. Downloaded rsd and tried .905 came back passed, just goes into ap fastboot and says can't find files (doesn't t say exactly that, I'm at work, ill put up what exactly it says after work). Tried going back to .902 rsd gives error that doesn't have enough resources (8gb ram, i7 processor and 1tb hdd, I should have enough space). Tried going all the way back to .893 fails on cdt.bin, got theoryroms released something (not sure what it's called, it has a brick fixer, rooter, and takes it back to stock) fails on infopreflash validation. Not sure where I need to go to from here. I any help would be great. Thanks in advance

Well, this will be true for most people...it did not work in his situation. The OP had tried the 902 fxz and the 905 fxz using 2 different RSDlite versions and the moto-fastboot method. All of which failed for him and he was about to give up.
Luckily, I had seen this before and I knew if he used the 893 fxz it would work. He was able to boot 893 and take the OTA's to 905.

There's two or three bad .905 FXZ files floating around out there. My bet is he got a bad one. Even the one on DoirdHive's rombot is a corrupted upload right now. THIS one is the correct one (680 MB) and you should only use RSD Lite 5.7
You can FXZ any Bionic to .905, in any state running ICS .232 or less.

Not sure what 905 fxz he tried since i didnt give it to him. However, using the 902 fxz should of fixed him in theory as well. I think it was the fact that he was getting cdt.bin errors because he was trying to use old methods and the 893 fxz fixed that.
I have seen issues with RSDlite 5.7 too and when people went back to 5.6 everything flashed appropriately.
OK, I must be lucky then. FXZ'd to 905 about 10 times now on 32-bit WinXP and 64-bit Win7 and no probs. I'll count my blessings
I always put the FXZ file in the root of the C drive then 'Run as admin' on RSDLite.
worked like a charm

Bought my bionic a while back and rooted it and used safestrap to use a JB rom.
Now that JB is out for the bionic ive been trying everything i can think of to update it. I've tried unrooting, uninstalling safestrap via the app itself and multiple factory resets. I try to update and it will get to about 25% after rebooting then of course the lil droid will die and i get a software update failed message.
Is there something i missed?

You need the FXZ file from Verizon. You unzip it and open the file suggested. edit out the two entries in notepad and save. Then, run RSD to apply to your phone. this hould be a US based phone.
