For unknown reasons, the SBF recovery in RSD lite 5.5 comes up with a "pass" result when the SBF itself actually fails. It runs like it worked, but on the final reboot, I get an endless bootloop.
Backstory:
I made a rom, flashed it, bootloop, go to SBF, SBF passes but bootloops.
*ps i've tried it 4 additional times and each time still bootloops even though it says "pass"
I've done this at least 4 times in the past 3 days trying to get my rom to flash. What the FUUUUUUUUUU*K is it doing this for now?

What the f...No don't do this.
Did you download the correct SBF for your system version? I know there are both 959 and 890 SBFs out there.

You wont have CWM after doing the SBF but you can still boot into the stock moto recovery and wipe data/cache

I can still do that? I'll try that and give it a go when I get back home. I thought the stock recovery had no options though....

And then ?
I suggested this way purposely, because the different organization will lead to a wiped phone.

Its a different model phone. It would be a brick, not a bootloop, if I did that.

I go into recovery and I get the little android guy and that white triangle with the orange exclamation mark inside it. No options or menus in there.

Is better to open the mouth having something useful to say, and not to spread urban legends.
(for the record I have the chinese rom installed on my phone, which is a verizon phone.)
Is a way better rom in many areas, but my purpose was not to suggest a different rom, but to solve a problem, with a safe solution, as I'm used to do in the last 30 years.

Press in both volume keys. That'll bring up some options. You'll see factory reset/wipe data there

Flashing through CWR or RSDlite? I did it with RSDlite (this wipes everything) and it failed until I got RSDlite 5.6, then it worked great.
RSDlite but mines v5.5

Go grab 5.6 bro. And make sure you're using the right FXZ.
And there's definitely no failsafe to flashing. All I can say is plug the usb into a back usb port as front ones aren't as reliable. If it gets disconnected even for a second during the flash, you could have a very expensive paperweight... permanently
R3l3as3DRoot and For3v3r root can take you back to stock 886.

I have a bionic that i system updated to 5.9.902 a couple days after i got it. Then i made the mistake of coming here and messing up my phone because i have no idea what I'm doing
I installed safestrap and did the whole noob step by step guide. Installed eclipse and a couple other roms. For some reason i wiped my internal and external storage. I have no backups of anything.
I've tried releasedroot, petes, rds lite with the 902 xml. I got stuck all the time with what seemed to be a driver issue.
I just want to return this thing to stock and stop messing with it
As of now when I press power i go straight to ap fast boot flash failure screen. I press power to power off and hold vol up and down to boot into recovery but just pick the normal boot option. Phone then boots into what seems to be my stock 902. I dont know if im rooted anymore.
If i could rid my phone of this flash failure and safestrap, i would be stupid happy
Anyone out there willing to help a total noob? If any more info is needed I'd be happy to provide

What error did you receive using rsdlite?
When you go into your phone settings..can you verify your on 902?
I'm at work now but it was some sort of usb failure. It got stuck on 1/22 mbm something.
Yes as of right now im on 902.
Is there a tutorial on how to completely remove usb drivers? Even though rsdlite says I'm connected, I don't see my phone drivers in device manager. That's where I think I'm going wrong but not really sure.

help i bricked my d4. i was running ics leak .215. i was trying to get gsm to work but i couldnt figure it out. so i figured if i put it back to gingerbread and applied the patch it might work. i downloaded a safestrop gingerbread rom and flashed it in bootstrap over my ics rom after wiping all data. now all i see is a black screen after the dual core screen. i just want it to work now on any rom ics or not. i dont care about gsm at this point. ive tried everything i could think of. ive tried reflashing ics in stock recovery but i get status 7 every time. ive also tried rsd lite with and without the replaced boot.img but it gave an error at 6/18. i will try any suggestions at this point.
p.s. i bought the phone off of craigslist so playing dumb to verizon is not an option.
I think using the D4 Utility ICS Only tool should get you back to a working .215.

Awesome! Glad it worked out!
I thought you could not revert back to GB once ICS was installed? But Im glad you were able to get past the brick
what was the fix?
I recently purchased a boinic because of a cracked screen, when i picked it up it would only go into ap fastboot. i replaced screen and i have tried all fxz files with rsd and all fail at step 6 except .246 ics. that loads all the way up except the radio install fails when it is recovery. phone still boots up but it wont read my sim and reboots after 5 mins or so. any help would be greatly appreciated. i even tried updating via stock recovery with the blur files and they go until installing bp and then fail. i dont know any other history on the phone, i have installed rsd 5.7 motorola device manager 2.3.4.. any suggestions on where to go from here. ive been thru most forums, and googled it for the last 2 days. evry thing that ive tried has not worked.
or where can i find the radio files that i can flash fron stock recovery
