I purchased a very cheap Bionic($35) that I knew had some software issues. it arrives today and I turn it on and see it is stuck on the "please wait a few minutes" screen. It will reboot and repeat,same thing.
I SBF it using RSDlite and wipe cache,same thing. What can I do now? I figured an SBF would fix it but I guess not.
I'm able to access recovery and everything,but cant get past this screen...

Take out all the cards, even any SIMs and microSD cards, and try again?
And what firmware did you try to load?

its on 0A.78 and i used the JB SBF. I also tried the fastboot method ,that also did not work.
im going to try the House of Moto fix. If that does not work ,my guess is its some kind of hardware issue and I will contact seller to work something out since they said it was only software that was an issue.
I was thinking "House of Bionic" ICS first?
Are you getting this right after boot? If so it maybe a hardware problem such as the antenna, that would cause it to search for a signal, either Wi-Fi or LTE, and not being able to find a signal it just keeps searching. If after you exhausted all other possibilities you may want to open her up and check all connections to make sure their tight.

please help
anybody ? please
I'm pretty sure I've had this and just went through with flashing anyway. Maybe I'm mistaken and if you don't want to risk it, wait for more opinions.
What's happening when you choose a *.sbf for flashing?

i tried flashing anyway but still the device doesn't pass the white m symbol
Which drivers do you have?

do you have a different pc to try it on? rsdlite works on my laptopn while it doesnt really work on my moms for some reason. id try it on a different pc first. next i'd like to know what sbf file your trying to flash. it could be corrupt or something, try a test with another sbf file like from peter alfonsos site and see if it works.
***wow, apparently i have to wait 5 whole minutes before posting becuase im apparently a "new" user whos been here since may of 2010... i guess i should crank out more posts heh? (looks at watch, seems to be January 2 of 2012 )
You won't be able to initiate the flash process until the phone boots directly into bootloader mode, which involves a mostly black screen with small white text. Keep trying while holding down the proper buttons and you should be able to get there.
what this means ? This is what i got after flashing a Gb rom through ODIN

Sorry fella i have no real clue this is my first post and i am a total noob... Still laughing from the video before registering. But heres my totally uninformed first thought, could it be that it needs to have writable sd partition, hopefully someone substantially more informed will help you out soon. I just thought id post because i noticed no one else had and youd only had one view. Lol Ive a bit of an issue myself but im a little afraid to post after the vid, even though iv'e been scouring internet for days with no answers! Lol good luck bud hope it all works out
Have you rooted your phone before flashing? Also, have you tried to do the wipes on the recovery?
Not sure if any of those will fix it for you, but eh, it's better than nothing
Is the romantic on the phone partition or on a external sd card, and have you set the install location to the correct partition

i guess you have not rooted your phone..
and if you did..you are trying to flash a rom through stock recovery?
please search before you know what to do..
we only flash it via cwm recovery, mobile odin or pc odin..
am i correct?
What are you trying to flash, rom type, backup? Need more info.

See pics. After unlocking I get a custom Android boot screen and the phone will not read any SIM. Appreciate if someone knows how to reverse this. Running Android 5.0 (can't root, install custom recovery, flash, or update from external storage).

WTH?
Did you unlock the bootloader?

No. AT&T and Verizon lock the bootloader starting with Android 5. I did find that the baseband version is "unkown", which is why the radio is not working or reading a SIM. See picture.
Hmmm
So your ril got corrupted some how is what it looks like to me.
What is "ril" the acronym for?
In any event, where can I get a stock 5.0 or higher ROM that I can hopefully flash from my sd card. All I'm seeing is 4.4.2. Apparently, the AT&T updates are OTA.
Hmmm
I'm out of town right now and can't find one on xda. Try sammobile.com. Don't try ro flash it via sdcard. Odin or adb sideload would be the way to go. I would also suggest rebooting into the built in recovery and resetting it that way.
Thank you. for the suggestions. Before posting the original thread I tried a factory re-set (volume up + home + power), as well as Odin, and neither worked.
AT&T has the bootloader locked tight on Android 5.0 and above.
Yes
That is unfortunately true. Where did you buy the phone? And do you live in the states?
Use Triangle Away apk.
It's US stock, original AT&T device. Worked fine with the exception of poor battery life after the 5.0 OTA upgrade untilit was unlocked.
To make a long story short, a relative bought a phone off ebay that was in Retail/Demo mode and I was tasked with trying to get it out of that state by flashing a different stock ROM onto it. I used to have absolutely no issue before with older phones, but, after a few softboots with no success, I've eventually ended up reaching this far in nuking the phone, and even the IMEI in download mode is showing a 0 (though I'm not sure if that wasn't always like that).
From what I've seen the phone is certainly the Snapdragon variant, and yet there was no way to activate OEM unlocking within the phone. I know this situation is rather insane and I could be SOL but here's to hoping someone could point me in a direction to help fix this thing. I haven't tried flashing the unofficial TWRP in fear that it's going to screw over my recovery (in which I forgot to mention it works perfectly fine at the moment). Alongside with the security error, I have the secure check fail with modem displaying as well. Is there a certain ROM version that might help? I've attached a screenshot that I took right before I fell into the abyss, so hopefully that'll help (unless you can't see it out of me being new). Thanks for any replies in advance.

Hi, thanks for sharing this. However, when i connect the phone in download mode to the PC, Odin does not register this. There is nothing wrong with the cable or USB port either. The phone does register though in recovery mode, but nothing happens during this. Please let me know what I should do.
