Kind of bricked Droid 1

My friend from work came up to me today said his droid was messed up and asked me to fix it, im somewhat of an android aficionado, so i said sure, well i get it and he doesnt have a launcher installed basically i got it into recovery and restored it, and it still doesn't pop up with a launcher, now im coming from a samsung phone where odin can fix anything, im wondering if there is any such wonder tool for droid, or if someone can point me to an update.zip i can use to install a custom recovery to install a rom, cause ill just put a rooted stock rom on here for him, he doesn't care

i have found and am installing rsd lite, is this the odin like tool ive been looking for???

rsdlite fails to install the sbf file due to "unable to retrieve initialization files from INI file.

it have been discussed before and i have told that there is no way of installing stock rom on galaxy mini other than odin as mobile odin is not supported
idea:-
if anybody here is having stock rooted rom then please to this
copy the /system folder to /sdcard and create a flashable zip with the help of d4 update zip maker and upload it
i cant do because i dont have a mini

Why do you need that for? I'm using CM7.2 right now, but if you really need that, I could flash the stock rom to help you. But I wish to understand why.

2. extract the file of the zip to a folder (e.g stock rom)
3. now delete the system and meta-inf folder from stock rom folder
4. copy the system folder of your device to stock from foldet and create a flash able zip with d4 update zip maker(link in 4th post)

I have also another idea but It may voide your warranty
first flash emanon rom and then boot into recovery and go to mount and storage from there format everything except sdcard there are also some chances of hard brick after that take it to customer care office they will fix but this method is risky

from here download rz recovery and flash it with cwm
rz recovery have the ability to install .tar files maybe it can install stock rom
so download any gb one click package stock rom.tar file and flash it with rz recovery
remember it should be one package .tar file
this can also be wrong because it is just my thinking method is not tested but it may work

What state is your phone in when you try to start flashing the RSD? How did you boot the phone before flashing with RSD Lite?

Downgrade from ICS to JB

So I received my Razr I today and it already has JB on it
So I was wondering, any chance that I could downgrade it to ICS?
From what I've read on xda and some German forums it did work for some people...
I'm referring to this threat:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184877
So in the end, is it possible or not?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, you should definitely be able to do this. You need to install a custom recovery on to your device to start with. I think the ROM Manager app on the Play Store supports your device. If you download it you can flash CWM Recovery onto your device. Then you need the zip file for the ICS stock firmware which can be found easily by Googling it (I've already seen it so it exists). Once you've moved the zip file on to your SD card, boot into recovery and install the zip file and you should be back to ICS stock.

Well I have the files and everything (RSDlite) but from what I've read there might be a problem flashing the fastboot files...

He talked about flashing over CWM and not with RSD-Lite...

But for CWM I need root, for root I need unlocked BL and I don't have it and also don't want to unlock my BL.
So, locked BL JB -->locked BL ICS

Then you must stay with unrooted JB. Downgrade to ICS with RSD is not possible afaik.

You should be able to run a factory reset an then flash kryptonite just fine. If youre still having issues, I'd restore a nandroid if you have one, if not rsd to stock. What error did it give you?

Yes, if you're using TWRP then to perform a factory reset you'd go to wipe and then slide the factory reset slider. Make sure to make a nandroid next time! To restore to complete stock youll need to either need to do it manually through fastboot, or use motorola's flashing utility called RSD Lite (I use version 6.1.5, use google to find this). The site I usually use appears to be unavailable at the moment, so you're on your own finding the sbf file as well. Keep in mind this will update your bootloader and erase all data on your phone (edit the xml file in the zip to avoid this if you want)

Thanks but I don't want to go stock completely ,but just want to use the KK ROM for the time being,otherwise AOSP is the way to go for me.
Just one more question, since you said by flashboot I can flash, can I use this ROM ?..

I have flashed it earlier but just that my internal storage was accidentally wiped out by me.:banghead
