I think I bricked my Droid 3, Complete noob at phones but pretty tech savvy

Hey so my name is Richard, hello.
I'm not sure if I posted this in the wrong section but don't bug me about lol.. I tried my best.
My friend recently gave me a Verizon Droid 3, and I wanted to use it with T-Mobile.
Now, I searched ALL OVER the web. (and yes, when I messed it up I searched all over this forum.. Really. Nothing worked)
I found out I had to..
1) Unlock the phone, get the unlock code (Duh)
2) Root the phone (Noob at this.. never done this before)
3) Flash the phone (Again.. I'm a noob at this)
The unlock code part was easy, I got that.
I soon discovered that there is another lock on this phone ? It's a lock that only let's you use it with carriers overseas, is that correct, yes ?
I think my mistake was trying to flash it without rooting it first.. I don't know really.
I USED THIS ON MY PHONE: Flash Verizon DROID 3 OTA 5.6.890 to phone_psouza4
When it was doing this there was a error apparently. I've tried using this program multiple times.. etc most of the times it stopped on recovery but there was one time when it went to radio, and there that's when it failed.
Now when I turn on my phone I get this:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
0A.53
BATTERY OK
OK to program
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
^I think it's saying USB connected, because it's currently connected to my computer right now.
I have no idea what to do.. I just want to be able to use this phone with T-mobile.. that's my main concern now.. the phone is unlocked.. I just need to unbrick it first I think and then root it and flash it properly.
Oh, and I forgot to tell you guys what happened when I tried to root it... : It failed on the 3rd step. I used the one click program. Also, it's pretty frustrating to do this, because my computer barely recognizes my phone (On occasions)
The only way to get back on my phone right now is turning it on by pressing the M and the power button and then clicking the normal boot or whatever, I forgot the exact name.
PLEASE HELP :'(

1. Power off phone
2.hold down vol + and vol - and power
3.scroll down to ap fastboot
4.press vol up
5.extract Flash Verizon DROID 3 OTA 5.6.890 to phone_psouza4 to desktop of home computer
6.download motorola drivers to computer and install
7.download rsdlite 5.7 to computer and install
8.connect droid 3 to computer with usb cable
9.run rsdlite
10.choose xml file in psouza4 folder
11.click start
When its done pull battery then replace..pwr up phone holding x at same time..choose wipe/factory reset..reboot phone..your back to stock .890....unbricked
But that's only if it didn't have .906 installed originally..if it did you will need a diffrent sbf

Nevermind, I got this to work I'm so happy.

what did you ended up doing ?

bricked my lg o4x.... please Help...

Hello,
i was trying to unlock my bootloader...i tried everything... my lg is euro-xxx
after a hundred attempts there was an error message every time i tried to boot from the bootloader ; [security error] boot image signature..
i tried to fix it flashing the original bootloader from the ''all in one tool''.. nothing happened.. and because i am a stupid noob i thought that a factory reset might re-wright this and restore it to its previous state... and guess what.. it didn't! and now my phone is dead. Even when i connect it via usb (it doesn't matter if it is the wall charger or the pc) the phone keeps looping to that error message....
please help me, i am desperate....:crying:

just after the first post there was a very fortunate turn of events!!!...at least that's what i think... when i connected my phone to the pc the loop in the bootloader stopped and there is a charging indicator instead.. is there anyone who can tell me if there is a way to fix my poor lg? i only have it for a week.......

if it is triing to update it can loop, try to remove the battery

What did you do to unlock your bootloader?

Did you root your phone first?
The same problem happened to me when i tried unlocking the bootloader however i just kept on restarting my device and it worked for me; try to turn on the phone by only using the charger. Also keep tapping the power button while the phone is turning on (try everything, i dont know if it will work for you but it just worked for me).
If you manged to turn on your phone use the LG PC Suite to do an Emergency recovery, this will reset your phone. Then i unlocked the boot loader first before rooting the phone use cmd instead of the all in one program.
there are yt videos on how to do this but i am a new user iam not able to post them

help
someone please help me, i was actualizano my lg 4x through lg mobile support tool gave me an error and now enceindo not in any way if sw or anything only when I connect it to my pc recognizes it as apx device. please help.racke

BRICKED, I have stock recovery, download mode not working, no OS

Ive been trying the TOT and KDZ methods without any success. When I only had fastboot I flashed xdabebbs laf.img and I had download mode back, however when im in download mode, my device manager does not recognize the phone. (Does not say "ANDROIDNET COM41" etc) its just blank. Am i just suppose to install the verizon-specific drivers? I have a feeling that is why the LGFlashtool is not working on my phone.
When i turn on my phone it just stays on the LG logo, but when its on the LG logo the phone shows up in device manager under ports.
im so confused and frustrated now! Can anyone help me out please!

Their are VZW specific drivers for the VS980, I think there is a link to them in the ioroot25 thread, otherwise google should turn them up.

i followed this Guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2448960) numerous times but it seems like im missing something.
am i suppose to download the LG universal drivers also? and the verizon LG drivers?

[Q] MemoPad 7 Me173x Bricked

Hello to everyone. I have in my possession an Asus Memopad 7 Me173x as the title suggest. It was given to me from a friend to recover it but it seems harder than I figured. Usb debugging mode is not enabled, it cannot go to recovery - when I boot it into recovery it shows me a dead android with a red triangle. I have tried flashing it with numerous different roms using SP Flash Tool, getting all sorts of errors, get past one stumble upon another one. I Installed Linux on my desktop pc to try and flash recovery using fastboot, I added the proper text for the android rules file, but I'm getting the "waiting a device" error. The tablet isnt hardly bricked, like it doesnt turn on. Actually the thing is it boots to android, an error pops, the tablet restarts over and over. When I power it on once, I have to take it apart and remove the battery, because it cant turn off, just keeps rebooting. I thought if I could flash custom recovery and use an sd card to install stock rom using the recovery it should fix. The bootloader is locked, usb debugging isnt checked and the tablet doesnt boot properly. Any guidance towards fixing it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I'm also new to linux, but kind of getting along.
I did a google research if there is a way to enable usb debugging if the tablet is bricked, but sadly I did not find anything.

Sony Xperia E1 (D2005) Failed Philz Recovery. Stuck in bootloop with no recovery!!!

Hello everyone. I am in real trouble here and I will explain why. I have recently tried to get the custom recovery with a locked bootloader (philz touch) on my device by following a thread. As far as I know I followed the guide properly but when my device rebooted it bootlooped 10x and then when my device booted it froze at the lock screen and restarted. now my device bootloops several times before boot and once it boots I get 1min at the most before it freezes and restarts. Also sometimes it fails to boot at all and it gets stuck in an infinate bootloop and I have to pull the battery. when I connect it to my laptop with a usb cable it is only recognised if the device boots but I only have a few seconds because the phone reboots and disconnects when I try and enter recovery or download mode my screen goes black and the only way to get of this is to pull the battery. I have also tried to connect to my laptop when on this black screen but i have had no success. If I turn the phone off and connect it to my laptop via usb when I am on the "battery charging screen" it appears on my computer as a unknown usb device. i do have all the drivers ect. my device is rooted with baidu root if that helps. ive heard of a little device called a usb jig would that be useful to me? sorry if this is not worded very well or looks like a book. Im not a idiot but not quite "tech savy" i would like to think i am somewhere in the middle. I have been using this site for years for various devices and always managed to succeed. help would be apprecited. Thanks
UPDATE: I have tried to factory reset from the settings but for some reason the button is greyed out and it wont let me press it! also I cannot connect to wifi or mobile data these are greyed out aswell and when I try to connect via the sliders in the settings menu they are also greyed out!!!

Hi, you need an unlocked bootloader for it to work properly. You can find how to unlock the bootloader by going to Sony's website and see where it says to unlock the bootloader or just look for it on Google. To get back to the stock rom (Android 4.4.2 KitKat), you will need Flashtool and the stock rom. You can find the rom on Google by just typing "sony xperia e1 d2005 stock rom". To get the recovery just try looking for it on XDA. And USB Jig will not work for Sony devices. USB Jig is only designed to work with Samsung devices.
