One-Click Fastboot Restore to recover from bootloop or softbrick

Thanks to dhacker29 for the orginal idea and script!
Check out his orginal post for the Droid Bionic here!

I will try to help as much as possible, but that does not allow you to hold me responsible for anything whatsoever.
Step 1. Download this zip file and extract it, putting all the files in a folder.
Step 2. Download the file "One-Click Fastboot Restore.zip" and extract it, putting all the files in the same folder as the one above.
Step 3. Run the .bat file and follow the instructions.
DO NOT FIX PDS PARTITION UNLESS NECESSARY! IT WILL WIPE YOUR MAC ADDRESS FOR WIFI AND BLUETOOTH!
(Found some typos, not serious. Will fix soon)

No comments yet? I take that as a good sign, I haven't screwed up the script!

What does this do? Restore a backup from fastboot
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

I'm also curious what exactly it does. At 140k it isn't replacing very much. Does it just fix files related to booting?

Didnt run it because I'm on linux and my phone is fine, but looking at the batch file, it automates flashing the stock gingerbread rom and restores PDS via fastboot.

when I run it, it gives me AdbWinApi.dll error. any suggestions?

I ran this for ****s and giggles and it returns everything back to stock AT&T 2.3 while giving you options along the way of what exactly you wanna restore to stock? webtop, system,pds, wipe data etc. works perfectly! makes life easier really! Phone booted right up after running no problems! Thanks!

It restores your phone back to stock AT&T android via fastboot automatically. It also gives you the option to *fix* your pds partition.
It's also an alternative to RSD

It restores it back to stock AT&T. I tried this on an international Atrix.

Pardon my ignorance, i'm trying to restore a bricked Atrix 4G for a friend. It gave error Failed to boot SVF 105:1:2 0x1000 after bad upgrade. Is it possible to use this as a solution? How can i find that out? and in any case, i have downloaded all files, what's the correct procedure to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

Well, been trying but haven't been able to do anything with it. I mean I never used it before and seems like it needs to boot into fastboot mode which I haven't been able to do.
Is in any way possible to make the phone boot into that via usb cable with this software? I installed all requiered software including drivers but it never detected the phone in that (bricked) state, not even once. The phone turns a green light when u connect the usb without battery in, thats it.
I haven't found any solution yet, only seen ppl saying to buy a new one. Is this brick really that bad that there's absolutely no solution? And it all seems to be caused by lack of SBK as ive read on the net...
Well if there's any good news I would like to hear them

It's a hard brick. I'm sorry, but it cannot be fixed. You can always try a factory cable, but so far, nothing can be done. I feel your pain

Help! Accidently deleted OS I think? Possibly "Bricked"

Hey guys. I messed up my phone. amature mistakes. I learned my lesson. I was trying to flash a jellybean rom plus the Devil R3 kernel over to a rooted Captivate using CWM. It flashed the Devil kernel over smoothly then when I went to intall the Jellybean rom zip it started to go smoothly then it rebooted in about 5 seconds into the installation and all that came up after 20 min of sitting was the Devil kernel screen. I can get to download mode. I could flash different kernels with odin but then I thought to myself my phone is basically bricked, so I tried that one click unbrick and it also messed up my drivers so now I can't use odin. It worked kind of but didn't change anything. Now I am stuck at the AT&T boot screen. I think the OS was deleted. I can't acesses the SD card. I was stupid and didnt create a CWM backup first. Now all I wanna do is simply go back to a basic 2.3.5 gingerbread and I am never gonna try anthing this dumb again. Please help guys this is my last hope.
edit:
I also wanted to clear up I used the corn kernel to install CWM it worked for the installation of the devil kernel but not the installation of Jellybean OS

Heh, deleting the os? I do it all the time, it means nothing. Have you used heimdall at all? That will mess up your drivers, so make sure you don't try to Odin using the same usb port you did with heimdall.

Go to that thread and then to the second post. Download an Odin one-click for gingerbread kk4 probably with bootloaders unless you've been on gingerbread previously in which case you can go without boot loaders. Using that will take you back to stock gingerbread. Then you can use Odin to flash your corn kernel or devil kernel, which ever one you want and continue on with your flashing fun.
Just an FYI based on your OP what happened during the rom flash is normal. A lot of the Jelly Bean roms out there use different partition layouts and different kernels. So when you start the flashing of the rom the first thing is does it install those two things. So a lot of times when it changes one or both of those it will cause a reboot about 5 seconds in and will get you stuck in a boot loop. Next time you end up stuck on a kernel screen just pull the battery and replace it. Then use the three button combo to boot back into recovery. From there you should be able to flash your rom again and it should work without problem.

Its okay to have the OS 'deleted'. First thing you need to do is go into recovery (red devil options screen). Then go to mounts and storage, connect your phone to different computer if possible and mount your internal SD. Open up a browser on your computer and download another ROM (cm10 is stable). Drag and drop that ROM.zip unto your internal SD and flash it from recovery. Peace amigos.

Its a great relief to have such a giving crowd out there

Thank you guys for all your help! I got a rom flashed over "Helly Bean" Now the only issue I am having is the IMEI is messed up. I don't have any clue what to do now. I have tried following other posts even a video and I'm stuck! Please help!
Once again guys thank you so much cause I'm a far stretch from where I was last night where it was a blank Kernel that wouldn't install a rom.
Update:
A few minutes ago I got service w/o changing anything I got a bunch of texts I tried to make a call and lost service. I rebooted and same problem as it has been. No service and it popped up with the IMEI problem.

Provided the imei issue happened during the helly bean flash you should have a backup on your internal SD card. Look on your internal SD for a folder labeled backup. If you have that look in there and hopefully you'll have a folder within it labeled efs.
If you have that try downloading an app called nitrality from the play store and use it to restore that copy of your efs folder.
Like I said IF it happened because of the helly bean flash that should fix your problem. If not I don't want to tell you what you'll probably have to do....

I have rebooted. Nothing has changed. Although this freak thing happens ocasionally. I get service for about 2 minutes then it will go away. It has happened 2 times today once before that efs restore and once after. I blew off the sim card ant that was not it. IK it's not AT&T's tower because before this I would get full signall 24/7.

Ok I did some playing and actually went in and deleted my efs folder. I did this because I've personally never had the issue so I wanted to see what I could do to understand it better.
So like you Nitrality didn't do me any good so I apologize for pointing you in that direction.
What did work for me is I went in with a file explorer and simply copied all the files in the backup /efs folder directly into the root /efs folder where they should be. I then rebooted into recovery and fixed permissions. Then rebooted normal and all was good.
Now keep in mind that helly bean was the rom that made that backup for you. So if by some chance in your flashing process, a rom that you flashed prior to helly bean caused the issue then the efs backup you have could be corrupt as well. But for now we'll assume it is good and go from there.

Efs problems are best fixed by going back to stock.

What version of Kingo did you try? Use 1.1.5 or 1.1.8. People have had success with that. 1.1.8 worked for me. Just Google around and you will find the download on the net somewhere.

You can try a factory reset and then root. If not there is a thread in the general section to go back to stock. Works great. I used it.

You are but we can't figure out why you can't root when others in your situation can. There is Kingo thread you can check out. Maybe you can find some answers there.

Factory Reset after the update to NB4, also go to recovery wipe cache, then try the 1.18, during the rooting process, look your phone screen, you need to click accept something twice,

I don't know how it all works terribly well but you said you still have Safestrap? Can you still install ROMs and can they have root?
Also, for when you eventually do get it working again. I recommend freezing the ATT updater. It can be awful when it eventually FORCES an update.
I got a free app called App Quarantine and froze "AT&T Software Update".

You will just have to follow the restore to MJ5 thread. The instructions are simple and very easy to follow. Go slow and follow them to the T.
What they do not mention however is do not use a 3.0 USB port. Only 2.0 will work.
Just follow that.
It is literally impossible to brick this phone to the point of it being unrecoverable. There is a tutorial to restore from hard bricks without J-Tag.

Hey graydiggy, I did the restore back to MJ5, but can't seem to get the last step for rooting to work. I tried every way with putting the rdlv on internal...unzipped and zipped. I even tried doing the same on the external sd as well. When I reboot supersu doesn't do anything. Any suggestion on how to get the last step to work?

It has to be unzipped and on the internal. You have to reboot a few times for it to activate. After the first reboot, let the phone sit for a few minutes and then reboot again. You should be good to go after that.

Not clear what you have done; would help us here to know what steps you've taken then everyone here may have other suggestions. If it's software related and just requires the appropriate flash you might be able to take it to one of the samsung experience centers in Best Buy or you can try their new hangouts support offering and see what they say.

Or just Odin back to NCE. Just leave out the bootloader file or it will fail.

It's a tad annoying when people do that and don't explain how they fixed it so I'll try and elaborate on his behalf. :banghead:
Basically it seems he was attempting to flash the zips in Odin. Odin requires tar or md5 files. I'm guessing he realised he had to extract the tar from the zip file first then flash.

I hope it was something else cause I have extracted the zips

Yea, I should of explained how I did it. Unfortunately, I don't remember exactly how I did it. I believe I ended up using Samsung Smart Switch or Samsung Kies 3 to return it back to stock. There is an Emergency phone recovery option in both programs that will restore your device back to stock.

When I plug it into smart switch it says not recognized.
