[Q] Bricked and no current info - Motorola Droid Bionic

Hello, I'm the owner of a bricked Droid Bionic. I purchesed it from someone that tried to root it, not is just boots into fastboot (with errors if you let it just start, and 0A.61 AP FastBoot Flash Mode (S) if you do the up/down power button method.
I've used RSD Lite 5.7 several times with all the VRZ files I can find. Most stop at step 6 with "Phone Fail" and occasionally at step 2 USB Error read/write (basically).
These are the file names I've tried:
VRZ_XT875_5.5.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml
VRZ_XT875_5.9.905.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC.xml
VRZ_XT875_6.7.246.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml
VRZ_XT875_6.7.246.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01_Dfib
Most files I find are no longer active and the links fail or lead to some bloated download site that requires registration etc to use.
I'm also normally running Linux but since trying to repair this phone I installed XP SP3 "just for the Bionic".
Thanks for any help, guidance etc ..
If I just let the phone boot as normal it goes to a broken fastboot screen:
AP FastBoot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure)
0A.61
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
Thank you.

Fixed
I finally got it to finish the push from FastBoot. I used a cable from my HTC Incredible 2, on a USB 1.0 port and it finally went through.

[HELP] Unbrick RAZR i X890

Hi people, I have a big problem with my friend's Razr i, I was trying to root it, but i didn't want to unlock my bootloader so tried several methods but not a single one worked, So i tried the one for unlocked bootloaders and ended up bricking my device, Now It's stuck on fastboot mode.
I've tried to flash some brazilian firmwares via RSD lite, but it get stuck on "6/9 flashing radio_signed" SO PLEASE SOMEONE GUIDE ME TO THE SOLUTION WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?
PS: Also tried to flash an argentinian Firmware but it didn't even let me start flashing bringing the error "Faled flashing process. Unknown fastboot command. (getvar)"
PS2: Also tried the eternityprj Alternate method without RSD, and it gets stuck on flashing recovery... and it also prompts some errors you can see in the attached file.
HELP ME PLEASE AS I SAID THE RAZR IS A FRIEND'S PHONE NOT MINE, I NEED TO SAVE IT.

your secure level was to high for a non bootloader method and if you done a method with a unlocked bootloader and your bootloader was locked thats bad.
unlock your bootloader >>WARRANTY VOID<< install cwm and use any backup. or flash the 39 gb fw but i think you have yet to unlokc the bootloader to safe it.. and be patient dont try to much stuff if your battery goes low you need a factory adapter or something like this to charge ur razr i if the battery is down.
regards hope you get it waorking again
I solved my problem this way

Hello good morning
I brick 2 phones trying to get one of them and in the process did fail at 2, how the recovery?
1. - Use RSD Lite version 6.1.4
2. - Use 1 extra phone (htc wildfire root and backup CWMR in case of failure)
3. - Use a GB retail rom (CFC_8.7.1I-110_IFW-39_S7_UCASMI01E1017.0R_USASMIICSRTGB_P042_A005_S1FF_fb.xml)
4. - The phone to unbrick, put fastboot mode, switching on via the power button and vol (-) until the fastboot mode screen read "fastboot reason:" if it does not, re-try until there is
5. should not say "fastboot reason: flash failure, or anything else xxxxxx xxxx xxxxx ............"
6. - Boot rsd lite 6.1.4, select retail rom, and indicate that only "unzip" connects your motorola razr I, and it connects back to the other phone (in my case htc wildfire), which has a debug mode enabled.
7. - Note, that in the window of the Rsd Lite in row 1, the Razr I phone is detected, then you start flashing in RSD Lite 6.1.4, see screenshot of your razr I to see that data is being sent, (the other phone should not be affected and only serves as a decoy to usb drivers, Rsd lite at least do not damage to my phone)
8. - Remember flashing erase the card was in your internal Razr I therefore will lose programs, photos or music you had or downloaded to the SD or internal virtual
9. - Flashing can stop and have to do everything again, but remember that no fastboot mode screen should read:
"fastboot reason: flash failure or otherwise else xxxxxx xxxxxxx ......." must be clean that is just:
"fastboot reason: "
luck : Good:
Warning, do not take responsibility for any damage to your cell involved in the process, ......... the lure of the phone can be found on youtube and just suits the way because of my need to get my phone ........ in no way am programmer or software developer, for which only comment what turned out ok to me
excuse my bad English

Could PM Me with the instructions in spanish, there are some things that i do not understand in your english
Tried to use your method but RSD lite got stuck on "4/11 erase userdata" and the phone says "program dummy sp block for userdata" I don't thin I understood well the part of the second phone, does it have to be on, i mean normal on, or does it have to be in flashmode aswell?

[Q] Stuck on Boot Loop after Factory Reset

I have a stock Verizon Moto X (XT1060) that was running 4.4.4. I was on a flight Friday using the phone in airplane mode to run Spotify and Podkicker - noticed the phone was running a little hot so I shut the apps down for a while. Anyway, upon landing I take the phone off airplane mode and the usual minor flood of emails/texts/updates comes in. About 30 seconds after this the phone begins alternately flashing "Process android.process.acore has stopped" and "Process android.process.media has stopped." These cycled for about 5 displays of each, then would disappear for about 45 seconds, then start again. Tried resetting the phone, letting the battery die, no success.
Saturday I tried to navigate into settings to do a factory reset, but the screen froze whenever I tapped on the "backup and reset" menu. Could access all the other menus from settings (until the error cascade started again....). I was able to boot the phone into recovery mode and wiped the cache - nothing. Went back into recovery mode to do a factory reset and now I appear to be stuck in a boot loop - the Moto logo pops up, buzzes, and then does nothing for about a minute or two before trying again. I can get it into recovery mode and tried to wipe the cache and factory reset again, but still nothing.
Any thoughts? Tried looking at other threads but didn't seem to find anything like this. Thanks!

No luck, unfortunately. Still stuck on the Moto screen. I can force the phone to reset by holding down the power button and then get it into fastboot, my computer recognizes the fastboot device, and the code seems to have run fine. Thanks for the idea - any other thoughts?
If you can still get into fastboot mode you can try flashing only the stock 4.4.4 system.img via mfastboot. That will not wipe your data. If that does not work I would do a full return to stock via mfastboot or you can use rsd.
Thanks Travis I'll give it a shot. I never enabled USB debugging and never unlocked my phone before this happened - I imagine I'll need to try and unlock the bootloader first, no?

No, don't need to unlock boot loader to flash the system.img just enable USB debugging in developer options. Tap build number 5 times to enable developer options. If you have never flashed anything before via fastboot rsd might be easier for you.
Thanks - I've used fastboot before on an older phone but never enabled USB debugging on this phone and now can't get to enable it since I'm stuck with this boot loop. Downloading the files from Moto now so will give it a shot tonight anyway. Can't really break it more than it's already broken since all I've got now is a shiny light up paperweight.
You will still need to download the stock images for 4.4.4 for Verizon and extract them. You can flash via rsd or simply flash just the system by running the command "mfastboot flash system system.img"
You will have to have the image file in the same folder as your mfastboot.exe I usually keep all mine in platform tools.
Sigh. Got everything downloaded but when I tried to flash either the boot image, recovery image, or system image, I ran into errors
Here's what displayed (sub boot/recovery for system - same basic error):
c:\{Path}\mfastboot flash system system.img
(bootloader) Variable not supported!

Multi-Flash is enabled!
sending 'system' (262144 KB)...
OKAY [16.793s]

I was following option 5 from mark @ cdma forum's guide to return motox to stock (can't link b/c I don't have enough posts...) . No issues until I got to the flash boot boot.img step.
I'm assuming this is due to not having USB debugging enabled prior to my phone eating itself, though I'm not sure. Willing to try other things since I love my Moto X but my cheap replacement phone arrives tomorrow (hopefully) so at least its not the end of the world...
You are sure you got the 4.4.4 images? You did not try to downgrade right?
Yup. Definitely got the 4.4.4 images (went back to the Moto site and it will let me download the 4.4.4 immediately but made me request authorization for 4.4.2) and I know I was running the most recent version since I checked for an upgrade on my phone last week in the hope that Moto had released 5.0.
You are following this guide? http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x/general/guide-moto-x-return-to-100-stock-using-t2446515
If USB debugging is not on you can manually boot you device to boot loader mode. Then fastboot or rsd should work fine.

I appreciate the help...but still no luck. That's basically what I've been doing and I went back through following those instructions - at every step I get the "variable not supported" error and then it fails at the flash boot step with the error message I described earlier.

You are opening the cmd screen from the same folder as your images and fastboot and mfastboot.exe correct? From your error it looks like your cmd screen is directed to your "C" drive.
Sorry, just didn't type out the whole thing - the cmd path is to the platform-tools folder where all of the files are also located...
Damn was hoping it was something simply like that. Have you tried rsd?
I haven't - didn't enable USB debugging and for whatever reason the package I downloaded from Moto doesn't include the XML file of instructions. Most of the links from the youtube video and some of the links from the XDA guide earlier are also dead so seems like I'm pretty much out of options. Thanks for all of your help - guess I'm going with the $80 replacement till I'm up for an upgrade!

[MOTO X1 - BRICKED] I think I got the master level bricked.

Ok, this is only for the Jedi masters.
I have a Moto X (1st gen - XT1058) bricked. However I think I got the master level bricked.
I was using the ROM Retail BR 4.4.4 and I upgraded to version 5.1 via OTA. All went quiet until the unit began to catch on and off yourself. I reinstalled version 5.1 via RSD Lite smoothly. The device worked for a few weeks but after some time the same problems again.
Until the phone died. Do not leave the boot screen.
I thought it was something not too bad, because I could still access the Fastboot (AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) 30.BE). However I can not get into Recovery mode and something else I do return with errors involving:
Failed to read signature is aboot partition
Boot up failed
The solutions I found on the internet I've tried:
Reinstall the original ROM by RSD Lite (and earlier also suppressing gpt.bin)
- Always fails when the application tries to apply flash partition gpt.bin. If I delete this line in the XML file, the failure persists, but the next line of execution.
Use original gpt.bin files, boot.img, system.img and recovery.img and try to install them through the mfastboot fastboot command and Windows Terminal 7 (32 and 64bit).
Use a file blankflash & the qflash.exe ... command from the Windows terminal. Can install the drives and recognize the specific port of the device, but the process does not continue.
Does anyone have any light around? Something different than I've ever tried?

D950 no way to flash it plz help!!

I really need help with flashing my d950 with any rom idc which one.
I was on kk but the phone was full of virus when i got it. I flashed twrp 3.1.0 and from there formatted everything being sure that i can connect it somehow afterwards to flash it with stock rom.
Now the phone is stuck on lg logo with flashing led.
I can go to twrp but adb cant connect so i can sideload, otg drives (fat32) are not discovered by the phone.
Then there is download mode in which i can go when the phone is not connected to pc. It stays in download mode but it is not discovered by windows or flash tools or any software. Tried more than one pc and installed drivers and software more than once
When i start download mode with the phone connected to pc then it just resets as soon as it loads.
In windows when it is on lg logo port lge(com 41) shows up and modem lge also shows up. When in recovery or download nothing shows up in windows.
I am completely puzzled by this and hoping someone can help me with this phone
**UPDATE**
After hours of trying i finally fixed it! The solution is difficult and long and not found anywhere in full, but since its an old phone and nobody probably need it i will not post it but if ever anyone ever does plz ask and i will share it. Thx!
how?
How did you get your system to read the phone in dl mode. I cant get it to work!

Are you sure you are in the same situation as i was?
My download mode was not working at all (phone reset when entered downolad mode). I had twrp recovery but usb otg not working nor adb and i could not transfer a rom so i can flash it so I had to short the test point on the motherboard so i could put the phone in qhsusb 9008 mode. This is not easy and its dangerous to kill the phone.
Then you need to download a stock rom and extract aboot, boot, laf, recovery, backupgpt and a few more files with LGFirmwareExtract and flash them one by one with boarddiag application. Then you get normal download mode back and flash any rom you want.
If you tried all the easy solutions like different cables or other pc or different lg drivers and its still not working then you probably need to do the same as me. If you do tell me and i will give you details how i did it. This really is a last resort cause you could easily fry the phone! I've read many people destroyed their phones like this!
not as bad
My problem is that the lg flash tool wont read my phone Ive tried everything and I cant get it to work.
I bought this phone because my other one died and it has jellybean on it. I wat kitkat on it . Thats what Im trying to do.
If you installed the lg drivers you should see an lge android port in device manager. You should go to properties and in advanced change the com port to 41. Unplug the phone and replug it then flash tool will connect to it. Or you could try downloading the rom and use lg up tool or even lg pc suite to update it. Also try the guide from dfuse https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2666763 and use adb to flash the kit kat rom.
I'm new to lg phones so thats as much as i know to do with it! Unfortunately there is not too much info for this phone anywhere. It took me two weeks to figure out what to do and a lot of luck!

hello, which contact points did u short to enter download mode 9008?
i have the same problem as yours. thx.
I'm in a similar situation with my G Flex D950.
It does not boot, remains at the LG logo and seems to loop trying to boot again and again with the green LED flashing.
Pressing POWER+Vol.Down does nothing.
Trying to enter in Download Mode by pressing VolUp while connecting USB, displays the Download Mode screen for less than a second and then enters fastboot mode.
I have a laptop with Win7 and all the drivers and apps correctly installed (already flashed successfully another LG mobile). With the D950 in fastboot mode I run the command fastboot in the laptop and it communicates with the phone but without any useful result as no erase or flash commands executed successfully.
E.g.
>fastboot erase boot
PC reply:
erasing 'boot'...

PHONE reply:

Do you believe that your experience with your phone can help me with this situation?
