Here's the link to the SBF tutorial http://rootzwiki.com/topic/4370-sbf-droid-3-fastboot-files-55959-and-56890/
EDIT: I've always used RSD Lite when I mess up, don't know about the other method.
Thanks for read and reply, I flash it with Flash+Verizon+DROID+3+OTA+5.6.890+to+phone_psouza4 and SOLANA_SLNCT-57.1.60_Fastboot all is ok but phone still hang logo .

Pull the battery, then boot holding M. Go down to recovery and press up to select it. Then scroll down to wipe data/factory reset and select that. Once that's done, your phone should work.

Hi
I also try it many times but no luck, now i think i must restore pda.img to fix but now i can't find it .
PDS=Persistent Data Storage and is where the MAC addresses and other hardware IDs and data unique to your device is stored. You can't flash the image from a different device.
AFAIK you can only write back the pds.img from your device back to itself.
Can I flash PDS.img for my phone, from any XT862? My phone is broken, it haven't EMEI ESN MEID ERI PRL SIM ID and version of radio, but Wifi and bluetooth works perfectly, Does flashing of PDS.img help me?

Restoring the Streak 7 using NVFlash
This will bring your device back to the unrooted 2.2.2 stock ROM. This has only been tested by the OP (me) on a T-Mobile 4G version. If you use this on other models, I cannot guarantee it's usefulness.
(Windows Only Instructions) If you’re a Linux user, you should be able to 'translate' this yourself.
This is for those who cannot use fastboot or adb. If you can successfully use these tools, DO NOT use NVFlash. You will lose all your data on your device. Do not proceed with these instructions if you are not expecting to lose all personal data on the device.
Step 1) APX Drivers – To work in NVFlash mode you need to install the drivers for the nvidia boot-recovery device. Power off your device and disconnect it from the computer. Hold down the Volume up & down buttons while plugging in the USB cable. (Or leave the USB cable attached and hold the pinhole ‘power off’, hold down the volume Up & Down and release the pinhole ‘power off’.) (The volume button seems like a rocker switch, but you can hold down both sides at once)
Your computer should now recognize the Streak 7 as an APX device. Manually install it using the nvidia boot-recovery drivers.
NVFlash

Nvidia Boot-Recovery Drivers
http://www.4shared.com/file/-utyTYcJ/usbNvidiaBootdriver.html
Step 2) Install NVFlash. For ease of function simply create a folder on your C:\ drive called ‘nvflash’. Download the nvflash zip and extract it to the nvflash folder.
Step 3) Download the 13 img files that make up the original partitions of the device. Files p2.img through p14.img. Put these files in the C:\nvflash folder. ***You can skip the 14.img file (Don't put it in the NVFlash folder) if you want to attempt to keep your original internal SD Card data, but again, no guarantees.

Step 4) Launch (double-click) the Restore.bat file from the C:\nvflash folder. This batch command will begin copying the partitions to the device. Wait patiently as your device is being restored.
Step 5) Once all of the partitions have been written, use the pinhole ‘power off’ button next to the SD card to power off the device. Now power it back on normally to enjoy your restored Streak 7.
If you have trouble with any of the links or corrupted files, please pm me or reply to this thread.
That's all I can do folks. Ran out of free space on my free storage site.
*** Update *** If you are still stuck at boot logo, check to see if you can get into fastboot mode, if so,
finish restoring with the fastboot method.
************* Also, I recently used this method to restore from Honeycomb. I too was again stuck at the Dell logo. However, I was able to use the recovery menu (Vol Up + Power) and do a factory reset and was fine from there.

Figured it might fail. Its the biggest one and it dropped a few times in the transfer. Will give a heads up when it is available. Might not be till the morning.
I was able to restore my boot and recovery partitions using the files you have already provided. Thanks for the excellent work. I am now using Clockwork to finish the job for the system recovey.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Downloaded files and waiting for p14.
im having trouble downloading p11 also. tried flashing all but p11, but nothing has changed!?!? thanks for sharing
edit: did finally get p11 to download, tried again, still no change. everything said it went fine on nvflash, but streak 7 still stuck in apx mode?
So- I have gone from a corrupted system that would boot with no fastboot or recovery mode into an operating environment that was unusable due to repeated force closures. Now thanks to these files I have been able to restore my system and finally apply Steve's 2.2.2 rooted with clockwork. Thanks to Illdill, Steve and everyone on the forum!

You will need the p11 for a successful restore. p14 may not be required as some have had success without it. Keep trying for the p11 file. It may be an issue with the online storage site I chose, or if you could use a download manager, that may help.

What happens when you use the pinhole to power it off then attempt to power it on normaly?
Also, are you using the flash.cfg, flash.bct, fastboot.bin and bootloader.bin from the nvflash.zip I provided?

Yes, nvflash mode should only give you the back, menu and home lights. Screen will remain black.
Can you get into fastboot or recovery?

You may just have to flash back to stock and try again. Sometimes these things are really finicky.

simple,
just flash the base room again (you will have to enter to the phone bootloader)
and continue from there to flash the ROM you want.

In a nut shell this.
Find and download the stock OS file to your phone and install it via the bootloader.
I think if you do a factory reset on your phone it will start normally. Just turn on your phone pressing X and when you see a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle, hold volume up and press the camra button. Use the D-Pad to select the option and then select Yes and see iuf it works.
Btw Fosly, the upgrade of 2.1 to 2.2, are using the ota update / custom rom?
Try this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696845
Did u flashedthe base file on computer b4 flashing the rom ?
Or am i talking stupid things ?
I forgot to activate rom slot 1 when flashing so it installed on the stock rom, which said if this was done it would not work, and now the phone will power off at the motorola logo. I made a backup with cwm and it is on my computer as a few .md5 and .win files. It also wont let me load safestrap even though i hold down the buttons to go into bootloader. Please help i really need it fixed

Can you get to AP fastboot? If so, you can then use this utility found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207384
You would want to do the full wipe install of jelly bean, so option 1. This should make your phone basically factory new, where you'll have to reroot it and redo safestrap/CM.

I would try that, but when I start AP fastboot, it reads: battery low, cannot program. I have left it plugged in for 24 hours and still the same message. When I select BP tools, the battery icon shows up with a "?" sign in it instead of a charge percentage.
EDIT- It has begun recharging when I chose BP Diag, and I will update when I attempt to run the razr utility
I would like to say the utility worked! I am very happy that it was fixed. Thank you very much!

How did you lose it? Because updating to 6.0.1 is not how this happened.
Please share some details - how did you buy the phone, who is your sim card operator, where are you located, and what did you do before you started seeing this error? Also did you contact ATT or Samsung?
This error message is usually caused by a sim card problem. Visit your dealer and get it replaced.

I bought this phone from the second hand website. When I first tried the phone for a week, it was normal without any error.
Then, I saw this website: https://mega.nz/#F!lJQj3JyR!Jky5Fhv0HySHIizJK-K1CA
This website can root my mobile which is for 5.1.1
I have followed these steps but then my phone was in reactivation lock.
I have tried so many methods to unlock it.
I paid for someone to control my computer to unlock it. It was successful.
After unlocked the phone, it was under the situation of losing IMEI.
I had not checked it after unlocked and updated it to 6.0 immediately.
Someone said that he could help me to rewrite it but he could only help me if I go to his place.
However, I am living in Hong Kong that I could not leave to find him.
This phone cannot be rooted.
I had called internet service centre to help me, but they said that it had been out of their service area.
Although they told me to go to their shop to ask for help, my phone is second hand.
I am afriad that they would not help me.
Do you have any other methods to help me?

This problem is very common when updating/flashing roms using recovery. It happend a couple of times on my old galaxy s3. Becouse we dont have CWM or TWRP yet to backup EFS partitions (that is where IMEI is stored) before flashing/updating,there is only one solution to this problem. And it has only 50% chance to work. You must flash original stock firmware using Odin(old one,before you updated to 6.0,for you that is 5.1.1).This will wipe your phone and every data you have on it, so backup your data.
Here you can download firmware.First one is very slow, dont know for second.
https://samsung-firmware.org/model/SM-G890A/region/ATT/
or
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-G890A
Step 1) Turn OFF your mobile and go to Download Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down + Home Buttosn together for few seconds followed by Power button then proceed with volume up.
Step 2) Now open ODIN on your PC and connect your Galaxy to your computer.
Step 3) Once your phone is successfully connected to your PC, the ID:COM box on ODIN will turn yellow and will show the COM port number.
Step 4) unzip the downloaded firmware, u will get a tar file.
Step 5) click on AP in Odin and choose the file ".tar"
Step 6) check "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" options and make sure that "Re-Partition" is unchecked
!!!!DO NOT CHECK "Nand Erase All" IN ANY WAY!!!!
Step 7) Click on Start button in ODIN window to start the flashing process. The process will take few minutes to complete.
DO NOT UNPLUG USB CABLE WHILE EXECUTING THE PROCESS, YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE!
Step 8) When the installation is completed, you read a "Reset " then a "Pass". your phone will restart (first boot will take a longer time so don't panic)
It is recommended to make hard reset after flashing to have a fresh official firmware
I hope this solves your problem, if it doesnt,im very sory, but i belive there is nothing you can do.(for now)

Thank you so much for your reply, but unfortunately I just bought a new battery couple of days back too. So I don't think so it could be battery's problem.

What is your exact model number so i can give you correct files links ?
For example T-mobile note 4 has 3 models (SM-N910T / SM-N910T2 / SM-N910T3 .which 1 of these 3 you got?
You can simply check your model number by pressing 3 button combo while device is switched off (volume down+home+power) will boot into odin download mode press volume up to continue there you can see your device model number on top left corner.
It will be better if you can take a photo of your device while in odin download mode and and upload it so i can see what else will require to fix.
Let me know and I'll get back to you.

What kind of error pops up ?
Do factory reset 1 more time.after reset let phone completly cool down dont touch anything .
then you complete setup.
Use high speed microsd card if microsd card is not good it can cause issues and lag to whole device.
Download wake lock app from playstore and open the app you have to click on partial wake lock as shown in screenshot below.it will manage your cpu to run more efficient.
If issue still remains you have to erase old nandroid completly by using PIT FILE and repartion your internal memory to flash fresh nandroid.
Try first the things that i mention and use your device for 2 days.if it didnt work after that you can try erasing nandroid with my guide.

you can fix this problem permanently by erasing old corrupted nandroid and if this method also fail then might your device has some hardware issues.
Let me know if you want to do that i will guide you.

I think I'd rather go with that option as I just tried what you mention in earlier message and still gets the same error. Can you help me out with erasing old corrupted nandroid. Let's give this one a try cuz till now I tried almost every thing and yeah I just noticed another thing which is my phone's ICCID is also Unknown. I am not sure but do you think this might be causing problem?
Thank You Once again for so much help.

Hi I'm unable to connect my phone to pc unfortunately and Now I believe this is hardware problem as when I decided to get my phone unlocked the person who was unlocking couldn't connect either so he'd suggested me that it's a hardware problem and couple of days later I was able to connect to PC till today. so I think I won't be able to perform repartition my phone until and unless I get my connectivity back. Thank You so much for your help anyway. I'd definitely give it a try as soon as I get my connectivity back and will update you.
Thanks

Reinstall samsung kies/samsung usb drivers
Restart phone again to download mode.
Try different usb cable.
Right click on odin and open as administrator.
Hopefully it will connect.

I just tired, and nothing worked out. the place where I took my phone to unlock he actually changed the charging and connecting port to check if it's port problem but the result was same until it gets back connectivity on it's own. I just changed the cable reset phone couple of times. It's not even connecting as a media device.
