I made that thread But actually I pretty much just copied it over from info I found here on XDA in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1622256
All the credit belongs to kholk, daywalker04, and Skrilax_CZ for releasing/hosting the files
True that but you made easier to find and broke it down Barney style for slow noob like myself. The whole developer team fulfilled my prayer but man you made my day
So, is there any way now that I can brick my phone into an unsalvageable mess short of physical damage? That's the situation I had with my OG droid with sbf files. I'm still not completely sure this the case with a locked bootloader. If it is, I'm looking so forward to tinkering with my phone again, as I have shown restraint since there was no way to unbrick my phone.
That should solve for all the bricking issues with the Droid 4
The restoring to stock just won't work for me at all... I'm about ready to give up.
First off thanks for the post.
I have a quick question. My system version is 6.93.215 instead of 6.13.215. Does anyone know why? Does it really matter?

That's really strange. I've never seen 6.93.215 anywhere...and Googling it only brings up your post. I would imagine you shouldn't have a problem flashing 6.13.219 but I'd try and determine how you got that system version first, just to be safe.

Ya I tried googling it too and got nothing. I got the OTA update this morning and now it says 6.13.219 so I guess I'm good. It was just weird cuz I didn't see it anywhere.

I think the only way to really screw it up (someone correct me if I'm wrong), is the same way you could really screw the OG Droid up, by interrupting the flash procedure during RSDLite.
With the locked bootloader, we should be even safer (I think) than with the OG Droid. Although I never tried this on the OG Droid, on the Kindle Fire you can replace the bootloader. If you hose that, pretty sure it is game over... Don't think this is possible on the D4, since it needs to be signed...

Just read something about some Razr owners bricking their phone trying to go back to stock using RSDLite after flashing a leaked ICS build. Not sure what the leak could have done to mess that up but just FYI.

It's not like the D3 you could restore back to stock without rsdlite. When I flashed mine I didn't get the msg saying "process completed".
If your phone keeps bootlooping after flashing it to stock with the 6.13.219 via rsdlite v 5.7
You can try tne following. Works like a charm for me
1-unplug the phone from the pc
2-Hold down the power button + volume down to reboot onto recovery,
Select Recovery from the list.
3-when the screen with the android and the exclamation mark comes up press both volume buttons to get onto the recovery options.
4-Wipe data and cache and then select "reboot system".
Then you should be good to go.

If you still need another option use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255198&page=12
go to post #117 for a direct dropbox download. Install rsd lite V.5.4.4, unzip file into a folder, then boot phone into ap fastboot (power + volume down), then plug into computer and wait until RSD recognizes it, then press [...] and go to folder that you unzipped the file into and select the xml file, then hit start to flash it and you'll be back to the stock 5.6.890 update.
for me though, once I flashed the file, i had to unplug my phone and immediately boot into recovery, do a data/factory reset, then reboot the phone and it booted up perfectly. then just install clockworkmod recovery and happy flashing! (if thats what you usually do. lol.)
you can also use this any time you accidentally brick your phone
in the last page of first post redsock added a mirror
the very last comment is another mirror from me
i paste it Here!

I'm just speculating here, since (A) I haven't tried flashing it yet, and (B) I don't have any official-source knowledge of this answer, but I would expect "the latest" RSD Lite; I think I have 5.6.4 on my Android dev machine at home, but I'm not home at the moment so I could be wrong. I set it up only a couple of weeks ago, so unless the download link I used was already stale, that should be current.
To be more certain than just me talking out of my ass , I recommend googling around as well as waiting for someone knowledgeable to answer here.
ETA: According to this tutorial video on fastboot flashing the Razr, 5.6.4 is the version they were using. The general guidance I've seen is that the Razr is architecturally very similar to the D4, so that is probably the best answer unless a newer rev has leaked in the intervening month or so.
ETA2: A little forum searching and I find this post with a download of RSD Lite 5.7. I stand corrected, I think. I'll be downloading and trying that tonight.

I can confirm that this recovery xml.zip, using the tools and procedures kholk posted, completely recovered my phone from boot-loop bricked state.
After the "decompress and start flashing" part of the instructions, it took about 15 minutes to flash and about another 10 minutes rebooting into normal recovery (the little android and open box icon), then one more reboot and I was re-connecting to my gmail account.
After that, the kind of magic Android Google settings recovery thing happened and the phone even remembered and reconnected to my home wi-fi.
As it stands, my phone is now pristine, fully stock, and with my settings and /sdcard stuff fully back. 4G and phone number too. (That probably wasn't in doubt, but I'll say it for completeness' sake.)
I judge that this fastboot recovery file to be perfect, and kholk's instructions were flawless.
Here are a few more mirrors of the fastboot file just in case, thanks to djb.617 @ DroidForums)

I followed the steps as shown in the video... and I'm still bootlooping... this isn't good.
Someone posted over on droidforums.net that this failed and now she's getting a "AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure)" message:
SO I definitely just tried this and it definitely stopped on 17/18 and it said Flash Failure. And now I can't even get my phone to turn on.
It says:
"AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure)
OA.6C
To return to normal mode -- first press power key to power down (i tried this)
****
Device is LOCKED, Status Code: 0
Battery Ok
Ok to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable"
I did what it said to do. Now what do I do?! I tried to go back to the screen where I clicked on AP Fastboot Flash Mode, and I tried clicking on Normal reboot, recovery, and just about every other option available, and nothing worked.
Someone please help me ! I just got this phone a month ago, and I'm going out of town tomorrow and need to have a working phone!

If you are bootlooping after a fxz flash go into stock recovery. Power off then power back on while holding both vol UP and down. Then at the android and triangle press both vol keys to enter stock recovery. Wipe data and cache then reboot and you should boot up to setup screen.

Hey guys,
I just recently got a refurb Droid 3 after my old one had the backlight go out, I hand't had a chance to bootstrap it and put ICS on it. But I was able to get it rooted. I restarted my phone today and ever since it has been stuck at the M logo screen and I've tried everything I can find to remedy this.
I updated this morning to the most recent OTA update (5.7.906 I believe) and then rooted it.
To fix the issue I've tried a few different things. I tried Pete's SBF to 5.7.890 but I was getting an error about the cbt.bin file. I found that with the recent changed to 5.7.906 you aren't able to directly flash over it to go back to 5.7.890. I then found another post on here which had a script to go back to 5.7.890 from 5.7.906. I ran that and still had the same result.
Any other ideas or anything that I am missing?
I can get into fastboot, I've been using the scripts with moto-fastboot. Normal boot is just leaving me at the M logo, booting into recovery yields the same result.
Any help would be appreciated since I have no clue what else I can do at this point...

Your 1 Click SBF ran fine and completed without errors but I'm still getting the same result, stuck at M logo.
Is there something I could be missing which is making it not boot that most SBFs don't include? That's the only thing I can think of at this point.

I'm fairly certain that could work, if I could ever get into the Stock recovery....I'm not able to boot into anything. Going to try a few other things, if nothing else works I'll just take it in and see if I can get yet another warranty replacement.
Thanks for the responses, if you have any other ideas just let me know.
I think the main thing that needs to be addressed is that I need to be able to get into recovery and then I will be set to fix it. Right now it just sits at the M logo for Recovery (and any other options from the boot menu).
Okay so I am running CyanogenMod 7.2 on my Motorola Milestone A853 and I wanted to install the MIUI ROM so I held the power button and hit Reboot and then clicked Recovery and it did what it was supposed to do; it rebooted and acted like it was going into the Recovery Menu but it got to the triangle where you are supposed to hold Camera and Volume Up and then within less than 1 second it skipped over that and completely rebooted the phone normally. I didn't have time to hit Camera and Volume Up.
So I decided to try completely powering down my phone and powering up while holding the "X" button on the keyboard. And once again it did the same thing as before.
Does anyone have any idea of how I could fix this problem?
Can someone please help me out. I need to fix this ASAP.
I had a similar issue, where I think the recovery got corrupted. You might be able to just reinstall Open Recovery (not sure), but I ended up just starting from scratch and reflashing the sbf.

Well I have officially screwed my whole phone up. I did the unroot using RSD but apparently I didn't get the right .sbf file for it. I'm not sure which one I need. Mine is an unlocked A853 from Amazon.
The .sbf I got was some Italian crap.
Any idea what .sbf I needed to get?
You'll probably need the sbf with the 'vulnerable recovery'. I don't have a link to it (internet restrictions at work), but I believe android.doshaska.net has a link to a guide with everything you need on it, and fairly easy directions.
Or there's a bunch more information in xda threads:

Also for getting into recovery follow these steps. Turn off. Hold volume down and also power. When Asus pops up release power and keep hold of volume until the bootloader appears. On bootloader go down to boot recovery. When it reboots to an android guy hold volume up and down at the same time. Let go of volume up and do this r over and over until it goes to recovery. The steps are ridiculous but I know it for sure because my last week of trying to fix mine has been hell.

what update are you trying to flash?
Steps to unbrick (if you can get into fastboot)

I bricked mine, but I am adventurous so found a method to recover to factory.
I'm not providing links as they are searchable here on XDA.
The steps are:
1) Get the factory image from Asus
2) Get FB Tethered Recovery Launcher
3) boot into fastboot mode
4) Hook up to computer
5) ensure the device is listed with correct drivers
6) Run ADB (from your platform tools, there is a copy in FBRL folder)
8) copy the zip file from Asus to the device (adb push /path/to/local/file /mnt/sdcard/path/to/file)
9) Run launcher from FB recovery
10) Choose T2 option, follow prompts to let it do it's thing
11) You should boot into CWM on the device
12) install from zip and point to the zip file you pushed earlier
13) Follow the prompts, and presto, restored to factory and can root/update etc.
I'd like to say thanks to the good info posted here and in other threads. I got stuck in a boot loop tonight and had no idea if I'd be able to fix it. Here's what I did (combination of this thread and others)
My method requires an micro SD card and an Internet connection
1. Confirm you can boot into fastboot:
---->Reboot into fastboot (droid boot) by powering device off (hold power button down), then holding down volume up while powering on. I released the up button once the screen went blank. It should eventually present options to reboot into droidboot, reboot, update from SD, etc.
2. Download the newest firmware from ASUS
YOU NEED THE WW version most likely (worldwide?)
3. Save this to the root of your SD card
4. rename file to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
5. Insert card into tablet.
6. While in droidboot/fastboot Choose the option to update from SD. It reboots and uploads the firmware. I was pleasantly surprised that I got my tablet back so easily.
Hope this helps some other poor soul.
There are other methods, but in simplicity, yours seems to win the match. Thank you very much.
How did you get cwm?

I do not get the option to Update from SD while in DroidBoot...why is that? I get the other options...REBOOT, REBOOT DROIDBOOT, RECOVERY, POWER OFF.
Please help! I've already sent this back to Asus, and they just sent it right back to me.

Click on recovery. Inside recovery you'll get a "no command" screen. Hit the center of the volume rocker (it'll take a few tries) and you'll see the update command.

thanks Jerbear (Love the name, Deadhead!), I did this which brings up regular Android recovery, but no option to update except through ADB.

Try this, then.
In the main thread somebody linked a temporary cwm session. Try booting into it and installing the update from there (Nandroid while you're at it )
Why would I not even have the option though??

I'm not exactly sure.
I need some help. I have average experience with ADB and cannot get ADB to recognize my device. Debugging on of course, and I dowloaded the zip for the drivers. I don't really know where to go from here. Any help will be greatly appreciated! I need to get this thing back up and running!!

In this case use the Intel Atom temporary ClockWorkMod to flash it.

Thanks for your reply...I'm not really sure what you're referring to, but is this about ADB sideloading? I already tried but this comes up...
Now I don't know what to do...so I badly need anyone's help here...thanks in advance!
