Alright, this is new.

Brought the phone home to test a few things and pull some logs to see what the deal is. Heres what I have...

-Phone was bootlooped

-Still took commands via ADB

Installed the 64 bit drivers on my home machine as I forgot to before, plug the phone in, finally get shell, and the phone boots. Bang, i'm in... odd. I hadn't actually done anything so at this point i'm confused.

Once I get into the phone and hit the lockscreen I realize... I have no home interface. Nothing. Blank. I have a dropdown bar, but thats it.

WTF, mates?
[Motorola Droid 3] IronFists:
try psouzas tools and restore the systems files with it..
[Motorola Droid 3] psouza4:
I have a method that may work for you. It *will* add on Verizon bloat, but you can remove it manually later with help from Titanium Backup, Root Explorer, or my bloat removal script. There *probably* won't be any repercussions. The restore image has APN codes for most of North America.

PM me for links and instructions.

HOW TO FIX YOUR SOFTBRICKED DROID 3

Files Needed:

-------------------------

1.RSD LITE 5.4.3 OR LATER

2.XML FILE and all Partitions in image form

to obtain these just download my package below.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=ASI02ITN

Step1, Open the zip with the xml and partitions put them in a folder named XT862

Step 2. Turn your phone on, Hold both Volume buttons while turning on press Vol - until you get to AP Fastboot then press Vol +

Step 3.Plug the phone to your computer by usb while in AP fastboot mode

Step 4. Open RSD lite and select the phone, and the file to flash is inside the XT862 folder you just made, Select the XML file, i believe it will be the only file you can select out of that folder in RSD.

Click START and in about 5 mins your phone will be as new on the latest firmware as of the time of this posting.

all working now..it was the partition size thing that was giving me issues..that and i switched to the moto usb cord..i cannot charge my D3 with my incredible 2 usb cord also..strange..

thanks again for all the help!!!
[Motorola Droid 3] mizuwong:
did not work on my XT860. please help me..!!!!!!!!
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
It doesn't work on the bell phones. You could try manually flashing the preinstall partition on your phone, it works under the right circumstances and it doesn't really matter where the preinstall.img comes(users have reported success flashing atrix preinstall to our device, I've had success with atrix preinstall on our device .. as is mentioned in the OP) from but a full flash with this package will not work. There is a preinstall with that package though, so if you've already downloaded it you're probably best off using that.
[Motorola Droid 3] dco717:
need help!!

bricked and ive tried rsd an pz unroot method nothings workin i wanna try this and im not familiar with this need steps
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
Well, I'd start by getting setup nice and proper.

1./ Google "moto-fastboot xda" and download the file from the atrix forums here on xda.

2./ Extract the moto-fastboot files and the preinstall image from the update archive to the same folder, after you might want to look at adding where you installed fastboot to your path variable if you plan on doing stuff like this again.

3./ Open a terminal/command prompt and navigate to where you extracted fastboot and preinstall.img. Now just type "moto-fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img", you can just type "moto-fastboot" for the help dialogue/list of commands and what they do and on *nix your commands begins with "./" so it's "./moto-fastboot flash ..." on ubuntu etc. That should flash your preinstall partition without errors, just reboot and see if your phone boots up.

It really depends on what's been done to this point.
[Motorola Droid 3] dco717:
wow

no lie you got me lost how would i flash moto fboot and preinstall?
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
I realize that english may not be your first language and that might help cause confusion with my instructions. Perhaps you could find someone to help translate my instructions? Google Translate etc might also be lacking and causing confusion.

That should flash your preinstall partition without errors, just reboot and see

if your phone boots up. I really hope this helps, best of luck.
[Motorola Droid 3] dco717:
wow really

i speak english just fine in fact thats the only language i know, i just dont really know all the computer terms and i get moto-fastboot to come up in command promt but when i try and flash preinstall.img it saysMicrosoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]

Don't run the program, run the batch file I bundled with it.
[Motorola Droid 3] Wolfhere:
ur awesome

This works!:D
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
It doesnt worl on bell phones, verizon only i think. Scroll back a few pages, the preinstall method may work depending on your error and whats been done so far. With so little info its hard to know what will and wont help.
[Motorola Droid 3] dco717:
files

ok so the batch files are??
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
Maybe the trouble is following directions. If you aren't comfortable operating a windows pc should you be hacking a linux phone? With fastboot and pre-install image in one directory the only way I can generate that error is by typing a command incorrectly. Even in the "error" message it has basic instructions

"flash <partition> [ <filename> ] write a file to a flash partition".

It breaks down to "moto-fastboot" <-- the executable that does the heavy lifting

"flash" <-- the command/what we're doing to the phone "

preinstall" <-- the partition/place we're doing it

preinstall.img <-- the filename/name of the file we're flashing

Batch files are windows scripts that will automate this process for you but ... I'm of the opinion that if you NEED this process automated then you wont gain much from a rooted phone or from running a custom rom.

Imo, try creating a folder called "flash" on the base of c:\ so you'd have c:\flash ... dump all the files in there. Open a command prompt and type exactly (the commands are everything inside the "", [enter] means hit the enter key on your keyboard". I'm assuming you know the basics of extracting files and navigating the file system, if not your problem is beyond the scope of these forums.

"cd \" [enter] your prompt should say "c:\>"

"cd flash" [enter] your prompt should say "c:\flash>"

"moto-fastboot flash preinstall preinstall.img" [enter]

If you get an error about preinstall.img being incorrect you might want to download the leaked update again and try using the preinstall.img from the fresh download, perhaps file corruption.

[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
Obviously you didn't create the folder at the base of C: and my assumption was wrong. I'm sure that the help you need is well beyond the scope of these forums, these are cellphone forums. Just want to throw this out again ... If someone hadn't released an automated script you wouldn't have a bricked phone, or even a rooted phone so no chance of bricking.

Having a tough time with this one huh?

Unzip the linked zip file, and read the "Read Me First"

PLEASE

Just follow the directions.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
Good luck.
[Motorola Droid 3] dco717:
Ive done all this still bricked, need major help
[Motorola Droid 3] Wolfhere:
WTF (short for what the foundation)

Thanks Willis :p

Unfortunately dco717, there is no one here to help you first hand. You will have to spend time reading the directions, and following as outlined in so many other posts. Or buck up the money to purchase another phone. You were cautioned that if you mess up your phone, you are on your own. The dev's here just provide the tools and directions, what you do with them.....is your own responsibility.

I would caution you not to attempt rooting without a good understanding of how a computer works. Because it is that, which gives you the ability to understand the concepts of what you are doing. And to flash the Operating System on a new phone (which is another computer based system) without any understanding of how a computer works, is fool hardy. Again, you were cautioned that if you mess up your phone, you are on your own.

As Willis mentioned earlier, we cannot help you, if you cannot help yourself. I bricked my phone, but understood about following directions on how to recover. We all have done it, but learned from those prior experiences.

Big Ups CK Nice! DL'ing now.... I'm sorry if I missed this in the OP or somewhere else but is this ext4? If I'm coming from a fresh Odin of EG22-Deodex version-should I flash the RFS2Ext4 zip from Chris 41g after I Odin but before I flash your Rom via CWM? Or does this Rom convert to ext4 or is this RFS? Thanks homie!
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Here's a screenie of the last mms.apk I provided. That one needs to be flashed through recovery but it matches PERFECT!
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
The other file explorers dont have permission to replace a system file. So you need to keep the sytem file intact. Start your phone in clockwork. Then scroll down to install .zip. Scroll to select .zip file and select your .zip file that you downloaded to your sd card. Reboot it will be installed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MuDDuQ:
Decay is an awesome looking rom but it is alot more battery intensive than regeneration. I get FC on a couple things like trying to upload a utube video and copying text like an email address. I still find it hard to change back because I really like the look and overall feel of this rom. On the plus side I can at least use the nascar widget with Decay and couldnt with regeneration (Im such a redneck)
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
I don't think you understood what I was talking about. 7zip is a pc program that is recommended using when dealing with android and linux based os'. I basically opened the rom on my pc, deleted the mms.apk, added the one that JohnCorleone provided on page 16, saved that to my phone and flashed the rom from cwm.

FYI, incase anyone is interested, it did work, no fc's with messaging after I did this.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Yeah that will work if you know what you're doing. I am glad everything is working well for you

[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
For some reason I could not so I used the route I suggested. I am glad it worked. Gives us all more than one option in the future. Good luck.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TH3JUGG3RNAUT:
whats wrong with the mms.apk? would like to know before I flash.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rckozma:
On mine, and most I believe, you couldn't receive a text message, it would just give fc's.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TH3JUGG3RNAUT:
is there an easy way around this I really want this rom? But I dont want any complications right out the gate.
[Epic 4G Android Development] urirx98:
WOuld like to see this happen for EH06 . hoping to get some better battery life, only getting like 8 hours with decent usage, especially with all the BS Sprint crap
[Epic 4G Android Development] krisman:
You can edit the zip just replace the mms.apk as described above and you'll be good out of the gate. Also you can get texts still they show up but it will force close on receive and the first few times you try to look at it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TH3JUGG3RNAUT:
can some one give me instructions coming from ec05? I believe I have all my files in place just not sure what order I should put them in.

odin to eg22 deodexed

EG22plus kernel from CWM

run RFStoEXT4 from CWM

then install this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
If you are on an EC05 EXT4 ROM then just wipe everything and flash this ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TH3JUGG3RNAUT:
thanks you made my headache go away! I dont know why gingerbread is so foriegn to me everything on froyo was so easy maybe its cuz gingerbread is not official.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
That and some versions are RFS file system so it makes it a bit more confusing but this is EXT4 like just about every Froyo ROM so the PurpCWM makes it easy
[Epic 4G Android Development] TH3JUGG3RNAUT:
so there's no music player anywhere in this rom?
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
just push one with Root Explorer until CompKid finishes add on folder or update...here's Blackout Miui Music... http://db.tt/hdz3Szj
[Epic 4G Android Development] system155:
wtf

well try to install its rom it wont do it i flashed it in then restarted it and it get to the samsung then it sit ther for a min then restart and go's in the bonsai :confused: and it leave me saying wtf b/c i dont use bonsai
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Which recovery do you have?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TH3JUGG3RNAUT:
I thought this was eg22? when I go to about phone mine says bonsai/kernel_v5.0.0-ef02
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
Yes it does I dont think there is much difference in EH02 and EG22 kernels

. I have tried to install the ACS eh06 Kernel through clockwork on this rom a bunch of times with no success. Anyone get this done? How?
[Epic 4G Android Development] system155:
i have clockwork and yes its up date to
[Epic 4G Android Development] TH3JUGG3RNAUT:
Not Sure if anyone else has experienced this but my phone wont shut down properly. It shows a scene from the movie wanted with goodbye on the bullet then goes right back to the samsung screen. powering the phone down is necessary for cwm and odin and all other flashes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Did you try flashing EG22 Plus or EH06 Plus kernel immediately after the ROM then boot?
[Epic 4G Android Development] computerkid23:
Back home and working on a update srill havent decided if im going to go the eh06 route but this update should prove more refined with more stock apps etc ...
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
I have tried it before, after, and alone. It just hangs at the Samsung screen after. I have tried it multiple times as suggested in the thread. It just does not want to install over the Bonsai Kernel CK is using. I tried both kernels downloaded multiple times with the same results.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
CompKid is working on an EH06 version that will have the same look as this ROM if you don't mind running it as is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TH3JUGG3RNAUT:
Rom is running smooth about to take it to work and see how it handles a 10 hour shift. Also has any noticed there indicator lights not working? theres no red light when charging and no flashing blue light for notifications.
[Epic 4G Android Development] BigOnes69:
Sure. The only reason to change is to see about speed and battery life. I got a lot better battery life on CKs prior rom to this. A few percent per hour usage. This ROM is still one of the best.
[Epic 4G Android Development] otsukafan:
My favorite rom so far.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Are you using Tegrak to overclock? Its not the most battery friendly...
[Epic 4G Android Development] otsukafan:
I was thinking about an odin to eh06 and playing with some of the V6 superscripts, but if he is porting it over soon I'll wait.
[Epic 4G Android Development] JohnCorleone:
Lol...I like how you asked for an ETA without actually asking for it. I know he started working on it but I don't have it myself yet so I can't give you an estimate on a release date. Let me get ahold of DaKid and see what he has to say...
