Hey, just got my droid 3 XT883 today (i live in France) and i wanted to flash AOKP, but it seems that my phone can't boot to CWM, altough it shows it is installed (in Rom manager). Also, it seems that my computer can't connect to the phone in fastboot mode (trying to flash the radio to get an unlock)
Help wanted here!
Thanks!

Today I tried to change ROM in my G1. With that I also wanted to change SPL and recovery. It was my first conact with flashing that phone. I flashed Samsung i7500 before, so I have some Android experience.
Recovery and SPL went OK. When I was flashing ROM, something has gone wrong, so I decided to restore nandroid backup I made before flashing new ROM. When I restored backup, system didn't load. It stops on "Android" text or on black screen. Recovery also got lost (I don't know how) - now I can see only picture with triangle and "!" sign.
First thought I have was to use fastboot to flash new recovery and have it working. But there is my problem - when I enter fastboot mode, PC doesn't see any new device. There is no difference in device manager when phone is connected or not. When I turn phone on normally (so system's stops loading on Android text), it's recognized by PC.
Have anybody had such problem? What should I do to restore recovery or flash working rom?
What ROM u trying to flash? Some ROMs need some base files. You can even install a new Recovry Image through Recovery Console. Thats what I did
OK, What SPL you have right now...
Once you flash new SPL, old nandroid might not work properly as the partition layout has been changed....
Let us know the SPL you have now, sometimes if the phone is not getting recognized..then you have some old driver installed, try to see if that's the issue...

I have installed haykuro SPL as I remember right.
I tried to update SDK and its USB drivers, but no result.
I remember also, that "USB debugging" wasn't on - maybe that's why phone in fastboot isn't recognized on PC?
To be clear: when I plug USB cable in fastboot mode, PC doesn't show that there is some new device. It acts like no device was connected to it.
There are other new and safe method to achieve the same or more then what you are trying to achieve with Haykuro SPL...see here..Custom MTD
But anyhow you are stuck with it...when you say Phone is not getting recognized..try restarting the phone in fastboot mode while connected to PC...when you are pressing back button are you getting fastboot..
I am not a good person to suggest something on this...If I would have been in your place I would have flashed DREAMIMG.nbh file and would have started from start....but wait till somebody better will tell you how to recover the device....

G1sanju, I don't know what to say!
You saved my phone
Flashing DREAMIMG.nbh helped, phone has booted
OK, I have a new problem now.
Recovery is still not working - I have Android 1.0 in phone.
Fastboot is still not recognized by PC, so I can't flash it. I don't have root, so I can't flash recovery by terminal - is there any Android 1.0 root instruction?
Or maybe DREAIMG.nbh of 1.5 or 1.6 ROM?
EDIT:
Now everything works, I flashed recovery using telnet.
DREAMIMG.nbh is an default image for G1, so it remove root access and leave the phone with the stock image...now you have 1.x radio and stock SPL...flashing haykuro SPL right now can brick your phone....
unlocker.com has some good guide to get the root access if you are looking for it....
Do not flash the Haykuro SPL or DangerSPL......That's of no use now....also there are chances that it can brick your phone....
Use Safe SPL...1.33.2003 those are full engineering SPL with fastboot access....
use CustomMTD to get the increase size as mentioned in my post above...

I installed recovery via telnet, then changed radio, installed CustomMTD and ROM. All working fine.
Its great that you have used customMTD rather then Haykuro SPL...this is safe method....I just warned you because that's a very common way to brick the phone....flashing NBH and then installing SPL assuming you have the correct radio is a very common way of bricking the phone...
Also if you are playing with SPL and radio's then its advisable to erase the recovery first...then do the install from fastboot and then reinstall recovery...

hi im new here as a member of xda but hae learned a ton by reading around the site. ive currently ran into an issue with my atrix hd (mb886) i updated the firmware i tried multiple versions to see if the problem was with the file. even with stock firmware if i dont use a rom i get stuck on motorolla screen. i have cwm revocery. my bootloader is unlocked and before i updatd the firmware my phone was rooted. so at this point i tried installing multiple roms. 1: CM =bootloop 2:jellybam=bootloop 3:btakang rises- screen passes the motorolla screen and goes to a black screen that flashes every 6 seconds. my fastboot menue reads the following
normal power up
recovery
ap fastboot
factory
bp tools
when ii enter ap fastboot this is what i see
ap fastboot flash mode (s)
10.9B(*) (sha-ca705b9,2013-02-17 18:17:55)
eMMC info: size 8gb

im not sure what i need to do to fix my phone at this point if i can get the thing to turn on idc what rom or firmwar i use lol thanx alot in advance
Hello guys!
As you can read in the title i have a problem with my phone being stuck at the LG bootscreen with a little text in the top right hand corner saying "Now Ready!". On the PC fastboot recognizes the device (fastboot devices), but when I try to flash anything on it (boot/recovery) it says, that the bootloader is locked. The bootloader of my phone is definitely not locked, otherwise I could not have flashed CWM Touch Recovery and custom ROMs.
Before this happened (in this order)
- I had Paranoid Android 3.99 Android 4.3 for p880 installed
- I wanted to try and install MultiRom v12 for p880
- I made a complete backup of all data (so data is not my problem)
- I wiped EVERYTHING (system,boot,recovery) using "fastboot erase [partition]"
I can't even get to the S/W Upgrade screen to reset the firmware to v20B anymore. Recovery is also gone and I can't flash a new one.
Oh, and by the way: ADB doesn't recognize my phone either so I can't do "adb shell".
Help is very appreciated!

If your PC recognizes the phone, you should be able to start Kdz Firmware update tool, even without putting your device in f/w upgrade mode..connect it to your pc via sub cable, try to hard reboot it long-pressing power button, then:
1) try to reboot it while pressing down volume key;
2) if nothing happens, try to reboot normally, then start Kdz Fw update tool, and try to see if update starts..it should work, I think..
Sent from my LG P-880 - Official JB 4.1.2 V20A - Rooted - Unlocked Bootloader - Multirom V12 with JB 4.3.1 Vanir, JB 4.3 Pacman and JB 4.2.2 SuperXE Roms as secondary - using Xda premium
Hey!
I unlocked bootloader, installed TWRP, and rooted the phone.
Now I cannot get into recovery, the screen just goes black and white led lights up. I tried to factory reset in phone settings, but it wont do nothing. I try to switch off the phone, press vol+ & plug the usb cable to do the unbrick thing, but its not responding to that either.
Fastboot oem device-info says tampered false & bootloader unlock true.
Ned help!
Assuming you have Windows on your PC, if you try to enter download mode (in order to use unbrick method), can you hear a device plugged in sound and/or see the device in Device Manager? Maybe you don't have the drivers.
If fastboot is working too (because you could type "oem device-info" and get an output), you may want to try flashing a custom kernel/ROM or TWRP once again to get it working.
Are you sure you have flashed correct files and haven't mistaken OP3T with OP3?
AFAIK everythings OP3T specific.
Now I ran msmdltool, sideloaded most up-to-date stock rom, managed to flash TWRP and magisk, everythings going smooth this far. I made backups and tried to flash RR rom, but its saying "...this device ( . ) ERROR 7" whats the deal?
*FIXED*
I read that TWRP merged OP3 & OP3T, found a proper dl link for the newest ver TWRP and manage to flash the rom.
So If someone is having same kind of problems like me and trying to figure what can go wrong when you following step-by-step guides, pay attention to details. In this case first after unbrick I forgot to sideload newest ver stock rom. This error 7 thing was a minor and easy to fix, but still can take couple of hours to figure out(find a proper dl link)
Hi everyone!
Since yesterday i am having problems with my phone, first it briked after a normal update, thanks god i unlocked the fastboot before, i installed a custom OS but didn't liked it, so i wiped both partition (and i think i ****ed up there)
So now i can still enter fastboot mode, but everytime i try to send fastboot boot judypn_TWRP_bootable-metadata.img (that yesterday worked) not it's not working anymore, it just boots normally and remain stuck in bootloop
On my microsd i put the img of twrp with metadata HavocOS and twrp zip too, yesterday i could install and enter in recovery mode them without any problem, today the boot img is sent but the phone "ignores" it.
PS. I can enter fastboot mode without problem, download mode isn't working
Thanks to anyone who can help!

So first, the forum you posted this in is called 'Roms, Kernels, recoveries and other development'... so which 'development' is this? a Rom? a Kernel? a Recovery?
None of the above right? So what you have is a 'question', and it should be in 'Questions and Answers'. Sorry if that offends, but if someone wants to find something in these forums, then posts need to be in the appropriate places...
First thing I'd do would be to get the phone's download mode (lgup) working again and flash a stock kdz. That way you can basically 'start over' (and hopefully have better results with your endeavors).
try this initially: Follow this link and read the 'notes' file. Hopefully that will give you lgup, if it doesn't then it's a more involved process to use edl and flash, basically, a whole image.
cheers
