[Q] Unable to SBF using Linux - Motorola Droid Bionic

Hi eveyone, I've been a lurker here for quite sometime...until now. I'm trying to use BionicRestorer.sh to flash my bionic back to 902 so I am able to receive the OTA update. My phone was rooted and failed to update everytime. After several factory resets and even unrooting it still would not update. I'm trying to use the above to flash back to 902. I've read every post and FAQ regarding Linux and SBF and all files are in the correct location when it comes time to use House of BIonic I get this message in terminal:
./utils/fastboot.linux: 3: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
./utils/fastboot.linux: 3: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
Press Enter to continue when the phone is back in AP Fastboot
The phone is in fastboot with a fully charged battery using a factory cable and plugged in to a rear USB port. I know it's communicating with the device because House of Bionic actually puts the phone in fastboot. I've tried manually putting the phone in fastboot with the same results...I've been at this for hours now. Someone please give me a little insight!!

Unable to flash ANYTHING please help!

I keep on trying to flash ANYTHING to my bionic(stuck in ap fastboot with boot failure) and every time I go to flash something it keeps on shifting to "FAILED<remote: battery low>
I am at my wits end, I tried the fxz, and it failed, I tried the r3l3as3droot fix and it fails.... Can someone PLEASE help soon?
You've got to charge the battery. There are ways to do it by cutting off the end of a spare usb cable, and you can find that here somewhere.... I just don't remember where.
Try flashing via RSD lite. See if that works.

Did you even read sreven.rn's post. You need to charge your battery. Fastboot/rsd will do nothing until you get that battery charged.
This post has the answer you seek

That is a great tip dellenrules! I'll have to keep this one in mind.
Anyone know if the battery will charge in this FlashBoot mode?
I am on Battery Low, can't boot to phone screwed myself earlier with all the flashing. Not stuck at Flash Failed, can't RSD, can't flash via Flashboot because of low battery.
Wonder if I leave it there will it charge

I'm 99% positive it will not charge in fastboot mode.
Crap. Was there like a USB hack somewhere that will get this to work? I can't remember. I am screwed!
HOW TO FIX A TOTALLY BRICKED BIONIC (& HOW TO McGUYVER CHARGE A DEAD BATTERY too)
I have prepared an uber zip file that contains all you need.
Wish I had it last night! I was up until 3am, worked on this for about 6 hours, and then this finally worked. I tried everything. fastboot, one click this, sd lite, etc. none of it worked.
You will praise me.
this worked - Got my phone back!
of course, I tried every solution in the world and was profoundly frustrated for hours and ran out of battery. but this WORKED. NOTHING else did.
I also had to do the McGuyver thing with an old blackberry usb charger.
snip the end off, strip the red and black wires, insert the red to positive on your battery (battery out of the phone!) insert black to negative, THEN plug in the charger. let it go for at least 1/2 hour.
my uper zip file - UNZIP THIS file to a FOLDER on YOUR DESKTOP.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12759680/fastboot.zip
also Manually copy files (update893 and update901) to your SD card!!!!!
(take out the micro sd, load the files onto it using an adapter.)
1. Put phone in Fastboot mode, connect to computer [hopefully you have the drivers installed. if not, search for Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation_5.2.0_32bit or the 64 bit if that's your operating system
whenever there is a command, I copied it and pasted it in the command window (ctrl v does not work to paste, you must right click and then paste) dont copy the friggin quotation marks
2. Open a command terminal and go to the Stock folder ("cd C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\Desktop\fastboot")
3) type these commands in the terminal window and wait for the flashing to finish before going to the next line.
----> "moto-fastboot.exe flash webtop grfs.img" (This file will be flashed in 4 parts)
----> "moto-fastboot.exe flash preinstall preinstall.img"
----> "moto-fastboot.exe flash system system.img" (This file will be flashed in 2 parts)
----> "moto-fastboot.exe reboot"
be patient. some of these steps take a while and you think nothing is happening.
then you see some action in the command prompt box.
Then reboot into stock recovery (volume up+down and power; then select recovery then volume up)
When in recovery, hit both volume up+down, then go to wipe data
then flash update893.zip
If you come upon the triangle with the exclamation point and the android man, dont freak out, hit the power button, down volume, both volume at once, and eventually you will be in recovery.
you will so do a dance.
be patient. some of these steps take a while and you think nothing is happening.
then you see some action in the command prompt box.
wait a day. then, If you're feeling adventurous, reboot into stock recovery and flash 901!
I'm no maven, but I got my phone back and then to 901.
havent rooted again but I'm waiting for the developers to catch up to 901, which I downloaded and flashed after getting the damn phone back.
No dice for me

----> "moto-fastboot.exe reboot"
once reboot, did wipe cache and wipe data
update 893, failed during verify data....
crap..
Ok, here is the deal. It is IMPOSSIBLE to revive your phone from the process that I did. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU FLASH 5.5.901 AND THEN DO A FACTORY RESTORE OR RECOVER IN TO A CUSTOM ROM. DO NOT ATTEMPT OR YOU WILL IRREPARABLE BRICK YOUR PHONE!

What are you talking about when you say factory restore? Are you talking about doing a factory data reset?
Because many have done FDR's without a problem.
Have you tried the one click script that P3Droid and the guys at rootzwiki came up with to get everybody back on the upgrade path?
That's weird.
I returned to stock from 901 using the method in the first link I posted without a hitch.

I believe the second post was the answer to your problem.. now second option is to cut a usb cable and connect the negative and positive cables to your battery and leave it for an hour or so to charge..

Oh no, I definitely wanted help BUT I was dumb and used my bionic as my sole internet connection. I have my insurance replacement now($100 down the drain). I had tried ALL of the fixes but non even remotely succeeded. What ended up happening was that I somehow made it where it would not even begin to flash files. I purchased an extended battery but yyyyyeeeeaaaaahhhhh lol, so now I have shiney new supplied for my new phone lol.
Oh wells, you win some and lose some.

My phone goes strait to AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)(Invalid CDT) at power up.
When I enter the first line of these instructions "moto-fastboot.exe flash webtop grfs.img" I get an error that states

Any ideas?

[Q] Almost as good as a brick - No wipe, no SBF

Yesterday I had a received a phone call from a friend and upon ending the call I could not hang up. The screen had locked on the call screen. I waited and tried to use the power button to turn the screen off and then on to see if that would clear it but to no avail, so I had to do a battery pull.
I restarted the phone and first thing I noticed was that it was now telling me that I had 5% of my battery remaining, where the phone had been around 80% before the battery pull. Then pretty much everything started force closing, and it rebooted on its own. Upon restart it came up with the dialog box stating that "UIDs on system are inconsistent" and that I should wipe data, and has a button stating "I am feeling lucky". Then it’s endless pop ups of force closes. I finally get it to a point where I can try a factory reset via "Privacy" in settings but nothing changes.
I go into recovery and wipe data and cache partitions and it says it does so successfully, but when you reboot it has not. The phone goes into my "normal" home screen and settings, nothing has been restored back to outta the box state, and it does not prompt you to go through setup.
Other than I used Petes One Click root about 4 months ago the phone is stock, with no new apps installed just before this issue.
If you try to remove any applications, it says they are removed successfully, but when you reboot the phone they are all back as if nothing had happened.
Plug the phone into any computer and it is recognized, but the phone does not seem to know it is plugged into a PC... no "charging" or "mount SD" info.
I tried to do a factory image restore via RSDLite 5.6.4 using
cdma_solana-user 2.3.4 5.5.1_84_D3G-55 110812
It gets to step 3/18 and then tells me:
"Failed Flashing Process: 3/18 flash mbmloader "mbmloader.bin" Phone returned Fail"
I've used RSDL for flashing my OG, D2 and Dx's before with no issues.
RSDL's Flash error log shows:

I then try Petes "One Click" easy unbrick and the command lines go through fine, all stating OK, and then it reboots the phone as it should. However instead of rebooting to the screen with the software box and the android with the yellow install bar, it goes to the white triangle with the exclamation point and little android. It will not go any further from that.
You can reboot the phone and it boots to the home screen, no set up, no removed programs...it looks as it did a few days ago before the issues started. However you will still get the force closes in a matter of minutes, the UID errors, and all the other issues.
Going to phone info shows the following.
System - 5.6.890
Baseband - N03.18.29P
Build - 5.5.1_84_D3G-55
I even tried to flash CM recovery and it will not do it. If you flash CWR through ROM Manager it will say it downloads and flashes successfully but it does not.
It seems as if the system has become unformat/flash/wipeable.
Suggestions? Clues!?
So you're on .890?

Pete's One Click Easy Unbrick sounds like a mash-up of his root tool and the quick unbricking script. Just to clarify, it was the MS DOS looking window that comes up after clicking "CLICK HERE TO FLASH etc."?
Hold "X" and power. When u get the triangle press both volume up and volume down @ the same time. Wipe data a couple times followed by wipe cache a couple times. Pull the battery, then use the easy unbrick method in fastboot. You will want to find a way to have a good if not full charge before you unbrick. Should do the trick.

I have bricked my phone numerous times recently and have found a very simple way to recover from it, without even having to plug it in to the computer. The OTA leak found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23223061 can be put on the root of your SD card and installed using the stock recovery. Power + x followed by volume up/down, wipe data, wipe cache, install zip from sd and selecting the OTA zip. I have recovered several times with this and it is pretty handy to be able to do it where ever you happen to be. Of course you will still have to root and reinstall your other goodies, but it works.
Side note: This OTA leak can NOT be rooted with the standard D3 root methods. You must use the D4 root method to gain root privileges.

That has been done several times, with no changes to the system. While Recovery states that it completes the wipe, it does not appear to wipe anything. I'm going to try the link gierso posted to see if this helps.

Good to know that you can try it from the SD. I may give that a shot as well. I have bricked my D2 over and over F'ing with it and have always been able to recover from it easily...figures that the first time my D3 does it and it tells me to go pound sand.
Thanks on the D4 note.

I'm setting this thing down for a day I need to take a step back so I can try the other file that gierso posted without throwing this thing against a wall.
Had this happen to my wife's Droid 3 and saw 1 post on another forum about a user it has happened to. After conversing with Motorola regarding my "Groundhog Day" issue (ie - no matter what you do, nothing changes on the phone... kinda like the movie Groundhog Day starring Bill Murray), the tech support reps came to the conclusion that somehow the NAND because write-protected. Neither RSD nor the Fast-FBZ nor Safe Mode would let me alter the phone in any way. I had to have the handset exchanged out under manufacturer's warranty...
Try on "AP Fastboot" mode
moto-fastboot -w
moto-fastboot erase system
moto-fastboot erase preinstall
moto-fastboot erase cache
moto-fastboot reboot-bootloader
now use the Psouza Fast/Easy unbrick.
If this does not help. than it would be better to go for a replacement.

Bionic .2233 - CDT.bin Problem

I was attempting to update my *.2233 build to the new *.242 last night using "House of Droid," when I completely screwed it up. For the purposes of this inquiry, we'll call it an accident... but I used the "Repair AP Fastboot error (flash cdt.bin) option. Now, when I attempt to boot, I get the following:
-----------------
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure)
0A.61
Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
Invalid CG Version (CG: devtree)
-----------------
After hours of searching forums, I have tried the "FixCDT" application with no luck, tried to flash various versions of Android including my current build (2233), 232, 242 and 905_FXZ using RSD Lite all with the same return:
-----------------
Failed flashing process: 6/22 flash cdt.bin "cdt.bin" -> Phone returned FAIL
-----------------
When I attempt to use the FixCDT, I get the following error:
-----------------
"Writing 'cdt.bin'... INFOPreflash validation failure
FAILED <remote: >
-----------------
Is my phone toast, or is there hope?
Thanks!
i would suggest reading this forum
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/mo...-5-893-fxz-901-902-compatible-902-update.html
now remember with the .242 leak you are not able to downgrade back to anything lower than .235...
however, if you had not tried updating to .242, i would suggest downloading and installing rsd lite, than download and flash
http://www.4shared.com/zip/kQydtP-d/newvrz_xt875_59902xt875verizon.html
using rsd lite, that should fix your problem..
remember, if you have updated to .242 DO NOT FLASH THAT FILE.. WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
Thanks for your response. I never actually got to the point where I could flash the file. I "pushed" the update to the SDcard, messed up the CDT file and rebooted to discover it wouldn't flash or boot normally. I actually already have and have tried that particular file. I get the same "failed flashing process" error.
Thanks,
You need to use the reinstall 242 option. If you selected the 242 install option and then used the repair ap fastboot option you essentially just flashed the 242 Cdt.bin. You have no choice but to install 242 or you will stay bricked. I don't even want to know how you got into this situation....

Hi SamuriHL, I have the same problem messed up the CDT file and rebooted to discover it wouldn't flash or boot normally. RSD Lite v5.7 failed flashing process 6/22. How do you do the "reinstall 242 option" with 902 / 905? Thanks,

You need to be very clear on what you were flashing when it failed. If you flash the wrong Cdt.bin it'll make things worse. What version were you on and what are you trying to go to? The option to repair the Cdt.bin is in my house of Bionic script once you make a selection for what you are trying to install.

Hey guys.. I just did what the first poster did... I think that I ruined my phone.
I was running .905 rooted, and I downloaded HoB .244 and .246. I tried to install .244 and it sent the .zip to my sd-card, but then it wouldn't finish the install. It told me that I would have to use the stock recovery. I booted into stock recovery, and I tried to install it again. It got all the way to"Installing..." and then gave me an error message that had "targa" in it, and said something about not having the correct location or something. I used the "Repair AP Fastboot error" and now I am stuck at:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Boot Failure)
0A.61
Battery Low
Cannot Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
Invalid CG Version (CG: devtree)
That screen comes up when I plug my phone into the wall charger, and when I plug my phone into my PC it is not recognized. furthermore if I plug it into my PC before I plugged it into my wall charger I just get a white LED notification light, and I cannot turn it on.. I just couldn't wait for the OTA ICS update any longer, and now I fear that I have bricked my phone.... Please help me.. anyone...
It's not bricked but you will need to charge the battery and it can't be done in the state your phone is in. So either get an external charger or research "non-standard battery charging methods". Once you do that, I suggest uninstalling the HoB fully, redownloading 7.2, FXZ, RSD 5.7, and 246 and install them in that order. You will have to tell it no to transfer, no to check the md5, no to reboot into AP Fastboot, and then start when it asks if you want to flash with RSD. It WILL NOT work until you put a charged battery in it.
Well I got a little bit closer... I realized that my phone wasn't being detected as plugged into my USB because I had a USB extender... I eft my phone on the charger earlier today, at the fastboot locked screen, and it didn't charge. I ran FixCTD and it tries to work, but then it says (FAILED: Remote Battery Low)...
It WILL NOT CHARGE in that state. You need to externally charge it. Otherwise you're just wasting your time.

Thanks for the helpful suggestions I hope that I can fix my phone soon....
Once you charge the battery, reinstall the HoB as I suggested, and redo the install process, it'll work.

I have a friend with a Moto Bionic too, and I am going to use his phone as a surrogate for my battery. I am so happy to hear that I didn't ruin my phone. I feel like I skipped a step in your instructions in the first place, and now I am paying for it lol. :silly:

Skipping steps is never a good idea.
I re-downloaded everything, and I have a charged battery ready now. So I am supposed to install FXZ, 5.7, and then 246 right in a row now?
HoB 7.2, FXZ, RSD 5.7, and then 246 in that order, yes.
I installed all of them now. FXZ is working it's magic on my phone at this very moment! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!!!
You're welcome. Enjoy!

[SOLVED][RSDLITE WORKAROUND][LINUX]stock fxz issue

Howdy bionic community. Got an issue with my bionic. Recently purchased running jb stock, I rooted, recovered, and romed. All was well besides an activation issue I'd rather not discuss. Anyhow, I was unable to open any version of rsdlite with my xp box, some research later, I found a Linux equivelant and ran the bionicrestorer script, which failed. Unable to downgrade, I modified the script mildly to reflect the jb XML. The flash was successful until the webtop portion when the battery was too low. Recharged my battery and reran the script successfully and upon reboot, the screen is black, the droid intro sounds, their is no graphic display though. The buttons are lit and the device is powered. I installed a win7 and win8 virtual machine which both immediatly disconnect my device when in fastboot mode (otherwise no problem) the VM recognizes " cdmafastbootbionic" and promptly doesn't. Different cords/ports prove same results also usb2 or 3 the same. I can flash with moto-fastboot via Linux, my question s are which files should I flash? Rsdlite workaround? Or VM fastboot mode fix. I read jb doesnt support webtop, if this is true possibly the reason for the graphic glitch. Also, im unable to boot the device into a functional recovery, the droid guy with the anti- slash rather. Any suggestions?
recovery responded when mashing the volume buttons (angst wins.) every update.zip i download retrieves the kindle.apk error via sideload. can someone link a working Blur_Version.6.7.246.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip? ive dl'd two with the same error. i modified the updater-script commenting out kindle.apk which broke verification.
Close call
saved the bionic. upon reviewing the jb script for the fxz files, i noticed the webtop changed from grfs.img to vendor.img. i was following the old script, and flashing the old webtop. flashing the new webtop.img (vendor.img) allowed the stock jb update to succeed via recovery.

Moto e5 play issue.

Hello everybody! I need help with my Moto e5 play XT1921-3 the problem that I have been facing is that the phone won't turn on like it used to. It still, charges, but I can only get it into ap fastboot mode and it does not let me access any of the features like recovery mode, because when I select it, it just turns the phone off and flashes a charging logo over and over again. I have never rooted my phone or have done anything riskful with it. It is very difficult to get it into ap fastboot with the battery inserted in the phone, but it is possible. This problem happened out of nowhere. All I did was take out the battery of my phone, after Shutting it off all the way. Then when I put the battery back in, this is when this problem started happening. This has happened to me before and I have fixed it before, using rsd lite, but now when I try to use rsd lite, I get a failed error everytime saying "failed partion gpt.bin/32" I also tried to fix that error, but I just keep getting an error after error message, I even took it to the T-Mobile store and they told me to keep it charged overnight. This is starting to get very stressful because I need my phone. If anyone can please help me, that will be very appreciated. Thank you.
Here's some stuff that should get you going again. The 3 links I posted all contain the necessary files to flash your phone to stock. You'll need the latest firmware for your phone as well. Install the Moto drivers, adb and fastboot files, and use the xml to batch converter to convert the firmware to a Windows batch script (assuming you use Windows). All the links will have instructions on installation and usage. If you need any more help let me know. I have the same device. http://www.rootjunkysdl.com/files/Android Programs/RSD_Lite_Motorola_XML_To_Batch_Script.zip
