Droid 3 Stuck at M Logo - Bricked?

Hey guys,
I just recently got a refurb Droid 3 after my old one had the backlight go out, I hand't had a chance to bootstrap it and put ICS on it. But I was able to get it rooted. I restarted my phone today and ever since it has been stuck at the M logo screen and I've tried everything I can find to remedy this.
I updated this morning to the most recent OTA update (5.7.906 I believe) and then rooted it.
To fix the issue I've tried a few different things. I tried Pete's SBF to 5.7.890 but I was getting an error about the cbt.bin file. I found that with the recent changed to 5.7.906 you aren't able to directly flash over it to go back to 5.7.890. I then found another post on here which had a script to go back to 5.7.890 from 5.7.906. I ran that and still had the same result.
Any other ideas or anything that I am missing?
I can get into fastboot, I've been using the scripts with moto-fastboot. Normal boot is just leaving me at the M logo, booting into recovery yields the same result.
Any help would be appreciated since I have no clue what else I can do at this point...

seems like a soft brick... should be fixable...
With the phone off, hold me, then the power button... then go down to BT TOOLS and select it ( volume up is the select button _ so when u do that it doesnt go to it?

I don't have a BT Tools selection. I do have BP Tools though. I selected it and it just sits there on the M logo as well...
I've tried a few of Pete's scripts with no luck so far (worked on the old Droid 3 when I put it back to stock before shipping it back).

Gave the one that you linked a try, get "Preflash validation failure" for Recovery and Boot.
Any other ideas?

Your 1 Click SBF ran fine and completed without errors but I'm still getting the same result, stuck at M logo.
Is there something I could be missing which is making it not boot that most SBFs don't include? That's the only thing I can think of at this point.

okay right after you use the 1click sbf
go HERE
download the. 906 update
place it on your external sdcard..
reboot into STOCK recovery and install the update
reboot
try that

I'm fairly certain that could work, if I could ever get into the Stock recovery....I'm not able to boot into anything. Going to try a few other things, if nothing else works I'll just take it in and see if I can get yet another warranty replacement.
Thanks for the responses, if you have any other ideas just let me know.
I think the main thing that needs to be addressed is that I need to be able to get into recovery and then I will be set to fix it. Right now it just sits at the M logo for Recovery (and any other options from the boot menu).

[HOWTO] Upgrade to marshmallow, dowgrade to ZV6, and Fix Status 2

Well guys i was having problems as most of you guys saw on the the unoffical TOT thread but thanks to @autoprime for mentioning LG UP i was finally been able to get past status 2
Disclaimer:
I am not responsible with what happens to your device when using this program.
DO NOT TRY TO FLASH BACK TO ZV5/ZV4 OR YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE.
ATTENTION: DO NOT TRY TO FLASH BACK FROM ZVB TO ZVA OR BELOW BECAUSE OF A NEW ANTIROLL BACK PATCH.. AGAIN IF YOU DO YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE
Requriements:
-LG UP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803
- TOT Files:
Android Lolipop 5.1 ZV6 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-g4/development/restore-sprint-lg-ls991-zv6-tot-t3213196
- Micro USB cable from phone to pc and Drivers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/lg-g4-drivers-t3127648
Steps to downgrade
1. First download and install LG UP from the thread BOTH MSI files.
2. Now put your phone into download mode via holding down the volume + and plugging it in to the usb.
3. Fire up LG UP and at first it may say UNKNOWN on the window so what you wanna do is disconnect and reconnect wait a few seconds and it should work.
4. Now it should say LS991 and select it and click ok
5. Now on the window select your ZV6 TOT FILE and select UPGRADE
6. On the bottom of the window there should be three dots click on them and find your tot file.
7. Click start.
8. After that your phone should start progressing
9, Should restart and work.
10. If it dosent make sure you factory reset!! (Hold down volume down and the power button and power then go the factory reset and wipe it)
To fix status 2 error
Thanks to @autoprime
1. flash zv6 and get stuck at blue screen.
2. power off phone and close lgup.
3. boot into download mode again.
4. this time.. instead of using LGUP.. use LG Flash method.
5. make sure you set LG Flash to use "Board DL" at the bottom of the screen where u select dll and tot.
6. should be able to flash either zv6 or zv9 using LG Flash (with Board DL option).

Glad you finally got it figured out...I must have gotten really lucky as I also got the dreaded 2 the first time but after uninstalling and reinstalling everything I was able to get around it...I am bookmarking this for future reference. Thanks again for your and @autoprime work.

Thank you! You are a savior! I'll try to do it once I get home and update my post.
Finally, a sigh of relief. My phone is back from the dead!

Just tried this and it still didn't fix status 2. I get the error, but instead of continuing on the phone, it stops. It just hangs at 0%. I guess I may be sending this phone into LG (praying that they will fix it). I cannot afford a new one.

I have status 2 still.

Weird well I DONT remember what I exactly did sorry guys

Got my phone working did the steps 1-7 above but used zv6, then I went back to the flash tool and used the zv9 tot, board dl and it went through swimmingly.

Im going to update everyone that you CANNOT FLADH BACK TO Z5 OR ELSE YOU WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE!!

Where does the ZV9 tot file come from?

just got the ota notice this morning. i assuming its MM. is it pretty simple to downgrade back to zv6 (what phone came with stock). u have used lg up for fix bad flash but not comfortable with the lg flash method. aka open a comand window in lg root folder (method) is there a another flash method in case i get this "error 2"
thanks in advance.

So, tried downgrading to ZV6 from ZV9 and get stuck on Sprint boot image looping. Any suggestions on how to get it to boot correctly?

Has anyone successful downgraded back to ZV6 from ZV9?

So to be clear did you had ZV9 and did a successful downgrade to ZV6 using your steps??

Well, yes, kind of painful since I got stock on the Sprint Spark boot image (no boot loop, just the image) . So the painful part is that I needed to do a factory reset from factory recovery (lost everything )... but it then went ok.

That did it. Can confirm it works, followed all steps in the downgrade section and effectively it got stuck on the Sprint Spark image, had to go into recovery mode, select wipedata/factory reset and reboot phone. Im back from ZV9 to ZV6.

Worked for me too...on ZV6 now and going back to UltraPop.

Already have stock mm. Can I still root it? Where do I go? I'm fine with zv9. Or has root not been figured out yet..

worked. downgraded stuck on spark, then factory reset. working and updating as we speak
thank you

I have been able to flash back wards and forth using both flashing tech. Using LG UP and the old flashing way. Don't know why it worked but it did. Also pulled out as soon as the phone hit 100%.

LG G4 H811 (T-Mobile) bricked

Good morning,
I recently decided to attempt to root my LG G4 and install a custom ROM. I was able to unlock the bootloader and boot TWRP, but at this point I received an error when I tried to install the Cyanogenmod ROM that I had downloaded.
At this point, my phone is a brick. If I turn it on normally, the LG screen comes up and stays. There is a message in the upper lefthand corner saying that the bootloader is unlocked.
I am able to boot into download mode. I have tried using LGUP and the LG Flash Tool 2014 to flash the original kdz but I get connection errors with both approaches.
Any ideas what my next course of action should be?
Thanks in advance!

Mine is doing the same thing and I am getting errors on 9% on both versions of tools version 2014 and 2016. No one has an idea why? I have done this unit before what out any problems!

Use lg up and the newest kdz (20o). Manually enter download mode and then start lg up. Also you might have to download and install lg drivers onto your PC.

This is what solved the issue for me. I simply had the wrong KDZ. The 20o is the one I needed.

My lg g4 got the fault in the system where it stuck in the bootloader and all I did was us lg up and kdz 10n and the phone didn't boot but I was able to return it and get a phone because when you do that your deleted everything off it and making it to where it was when it came out of the box

One small thing you might want to try first. Open LGUP with your phone connected in download mode. Choose the kdz file you want to use, then CLOSE LGUP (leaving the phone connected). Then reopen LGUP and the kdz file should still be selected. Then click Start.

Have you try booting into download and open LG Bridge, software update and follow the steps it tells you?

Mine randomly restarted and entered a boot loop on the way into work today. I couldn't enter recovery. I just let it loop. When I checked it when I got to work about 30 minutes later, the screen was dark and I figured it had died. It was booted to my lock screen. The weird part is that all of my "recent apps" were still open. I'd taken the battery out several times. It now reboots without issue. Perhaps I slipped into an alternate universe where my phone didn't die on the way to work. #mandellaeffect

Hello,I got trouble connecting the LGUP. It tells me the device model is unknown so I can't choose it.I guess it's because I edited the build.prop:crying: Could you tell me how to rescue my phone?

I cannot upgrade any further

Hello,
I tried for a few days to upgrade my huawei to build B586 but I haven't been succesful. I unlocked my boot and tryied to upgrade trough brick method(but switching the img files to the b586 ones with huawei extractor). I have no option to update from local and the vol+,- and power buttons do not work. I get stuck at boot screen.
My curent build is B574. Do you have any sugestions how I can upgrade? or downgrade than upgrade? The update to 6.0 was done via update from local option,which i don;t have anymore.
Thank you in advance.

It works with me in similar situation, not sure if it work with you!
Downgrade B574> B300
and then...
Upgrade B300> B586 or B588

Hmmm... I had a similar problem. Coming from the RRevolution Custom Rom, when i tried flashing stock again i couldn't. The Power+Vol.Buttons method would give me bootloop. Even though the phone was booting, i followed the unbricking guide, flashing boot,recovery,system and cust (search it up, it's in the forums). After flashing everything and rebooting my phone, it went straight into the upgrade method (the one you get with the Power+Vol) and installed B586 just fine. No problems since and i am now using the B588, so it might work just the same with that one too. Hope this helps

Did you tried put B300 on the dload folder and then press 3 buttons?

From what I understood, you can't use the 3 button method, right? The phone will just boot... Try pressing all three and when you see the boot logo just release the power button and keep holding the other two. I've seen people getting over such problems by doing this. It probably sounds stupid but i would give it a shot... Also, try putting the upgrade.app file both on internal and external sd!

EDIT: removed the dload folder and succesfully wiped my phone, I will try to upgrade now(fingercrossed)
EDIT 2: I succesfully upgraded to b586. When I pressed the 3 buttons I got stuck at the same boot screen. When I pressed only volume up+ power button it workd.
So if any1 will have the same issue he should defenetly try this out. Big thanks for everyone who responded in this threat :good:

I still cannot get to the cache to clear it.
Here what I have right now.
hold power button, screens goes black then have the first screen of start, S7 edge, it goes off and comes back on
i can get into down load mode, tried reloading the stock firmware but get a write error, model miss-match
if arrow down goes to start up boot loop, if arrow up does into downlaod
power off (does not really shut off)
Vol up + home + power, gets the recovery booting loop
Odin sees the phone, but any writes all seem to fail. Sometimes have to use Odin Prince sometimes 3.12.7
In 12/.6 tried to load the S7 edge qual com image file from rooting, and that said fail in red.
Tried to flash back stock but like I said earlier, says product code miss match
I had tried to use odin to do that update and that probably is what screwed the pooch.
Any ideas?

@norbarb you need to take all your links down if you're not going to reupload them.

Boot loop and recovery boot loop
