Afaik xt862/xt860 fastboot files can't be mixed. I have no idea why it boots to AP fastboot but I would think the best way to fix it would be a successful fastboot.flash. the photo shows your phone as being CDMA so it must be an xt862. I know the xt883 fastboot files fan be flashed to the xt862 there is a thread for it somewhere. If you can find this thread you've mentioned and link to it that would he helpful
[Motorola Droid 3] danifunker:
Fully power off your phone then hold VOL UP and VOL DOWN at the same time and press the power button. Then you can choose AP Fastboot. What firmware is on there now?
[Motorola Droid 3] pedroramos:
My phone is a XT862...

I download this ROM:

http://server.dev-host.org/server/c...wrvwwljjm37d7y5k53azi/Droid_3_SBF_5.6.890.zip

and I could flash it with RSD..

the problem with boot ends, almost all my apps still there but I lost the root...

as I saind, I'm from brazil and I would like to have a ROM in portuguese and better being the 2.3.5

so I would like to try the XT860 ROM... I tried the retail and I tried the vivo(my carrier) ROM and both FAIL in the flash, with something like error in cdt.bin

So it's impossible to flash this ROM on my XT862?

If I won't be able to put this portuguese ROM, is there any firmware to the 2.3.5?

thanks

merry christmas
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
The link you posted is for the xt862 and you should be able to.flash it. The Brazil roms are for the xt860 and cannot he flashed to an xt862. Check what system version you have currently by going to setting>about phone. After flashing with rsdlite you shouldn't have any user apps leftover. It would definitely break root though. If I'm not mistaken the second step in the XML is to wipe user data(at least it is for the Brazil retail)

Can you not set it to Portuguese in the language settings?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
After flashing is everything else returned to stock? Are those apps onbthe sdcard by any chance?
[Motorola Droid 3] pedroramos:
A man here in brazil flashed the XT862 ROM in the XT860 and he said that it worked because the hardware is the same...

you said "If I'm not mistaken the second step in the XML is to wipe user data(at least it is for the Brazil retail)"

will I have to do anything else, like wipe data in CwM?

my version is:

5.6.890.XT862.Verizon.en.US

Android 2.3.4

and I don't have portuguese language options...

two points:

1: I don't use verizon for anything and it has many icons and verizon running apps that I don't use(I think u in USA call it bloat or garbage apps, I don't know)

2: The brazilian ROM is the 2.3.5 and I would like to update my phone

So, It's really impossible to flash the XT860 ROM?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
The hardware is not the same, the xt860 lacks a CDMA radio and as far as I know no one had flashed xt860 firmware onto an xt862...

That being said I don't think you can using RSDlite as the XML contains a line stating something the model and it would recognize the phone as being the incorrect model. You could always try using moto-fastboot to flash the system.img but which would be just the rom portion of the firmware, leaving the radio intact but I have never attempted this and don't know anyone who has so you would be the first. I really have no idea as to what would happen. Good luck
[Motorola Droid 3] pedroramos:
Thanks Endoroid,

do you know if there is any XT862 firmware to 2.3.5 or another ROM that make it real better?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I don't know of any 2.3.5 for the xt862. The xt883 firmware can be flashed to the xt862, I believe the radio is better on it, but I'm not too sure. It has a thread somewhere on here. As for roms there are plenty of good roms out right now. Liberty is a great rom if you like cm/aosp otherwise steeldroid and Mavrom are good blur based roms. I'm using liberty myself.
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
You could probably recover from the phone booting into fastboot mode all the time by flashing pre-install with moto-fastboot.

A brazillian me863 user flashed his phone to xt860, not a brazillian xt862 user. Might be what's causing some confusion but the xt862 already has custom roms and this has always been about getting them running on the xt860/me863.

For getting your language on your phone you might want to just change your language settings in your build.prop, factory reset and see if that works.

ro.product.locale.language=en

ro.product.locale.region=US

you want to change at least the language line to your language (think it was "pt" on the brazillian rom for portugese and of course the country code was "BR" for brazil).
[Motorola Droid 3] pedroramos:
thanks endoroid

thanks willis(I'll try it)

which rom you advise me to improve battery life without loosing much performance and fix some bugs like the camera, sleepmode, etc.?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Pretty much every custom rom is an improvement over stock. Which one you want to use is personal preference. I prefer liberty rom as it has most of the blur removed and lots of customization options
[Motorola Droid 3] pedroramos:
Willis

I tried the prop.edit and reset factory.. didn't works... :cool:
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
Really? that should have switched your region to brazil and your language to spanish/portugese, it works with all other roms (I've tested it on cm7, cm9, liberty, stock etc etc etc)

Added Android 2.3.6 fastboot files to first post for

Claro Argentina

Iusacell Mexico
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I was gonna fastboot flash my device today anyways so I'll give one a shot
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Willis, recalling the radio logcats throwing up errors about hspa using the brazil retail 2.3.5 I checked out on wikipedia what network these 2 carriers operate. Lusacell is a hspa+ network, which may improve our radio issues. What is the command again adb logcat radio -b | grep or something like that
[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
I live in mexico and have xt862 d3

Can firmware from xt860 be flashed? Would that brick. Or lost CDMA(which would be OK) .. im just jelous they are getting constant updates. ,

Maybe xt860&62 aresame hardware but whuth diferent locked bootloaders

U cant flash or use the cdma portions oneg to the xt860 and vice versa.....

Motorolaaaaaaaa unlock bootloader pleaseeee
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
As far as I know that would result in a brick.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Just flashed the iusacell 2.3.6, i'm flashing liberty right over it so i won't be able to tell how stock gingerblur is. Willis i'm still getting the complaints about HSPA when i run adb logcat -b radio | grep CSS* (i found it in my bash history :p ) i wonder why it does that. I'm tempted to email it to bell tech support and see what they say :p

edit:i should add, i don't know if this is a r4esult of the script i wrote for moto-fastboot or what but first boot takes me into stock recovery, had to batt pull to actually boot
[Motorola Droid 3] Willis111:
Are you getting data? What kernel version is running? There could be a lot of reasons that it's complaining about HSPA, I've been leaning towards a missed lib + setting solution myself for a while now. You can mod the build.prop to get 3g(bells hspa) up in cm7 but it's constantly crashing/not really usable because we're still missing something.
[Motorola Droid 3] goalando:
Yeahh finally flashing right now. Thanks iusacell for improving my telcels xt860 lol
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
just rooted, doesn't seem to have data right off the bat, haven't tried setting an apn though. I screwed myself into a bootloop and had to refastboot flash system

Edit:entered apn, symbol only comes up with H not H+ and still get the HSPA CSS not supported kernel version is 2.6.35.7-g9f70789 wmo038@zbr05lnxdroid08 #1

iusacell 2.3.6
[Motorola Droid 3] gierso:
NICEEEE WHICH XT860 DO YOU HAVE
[Motorola Droid 3] goalando:
bell's xt860

Flashed and yes i get no H+ only H speedtest 3.3mb max..

everything working fine.
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
Anyone on the new 2.3.6 notice several files and folders in the root drive are dated 1 jan 1970 00:00:00 I never noticed it previously on 2.3.4 or 2.3.5. Weird

[HTC Rezound] janderson2k:
SOOO over the last few weeks I had a few issues with my TBolt, called verizon and got it RMA'd. New phone was working fine until I realized the headphone jack wasnt working. Called them up today and in a NICE tone said,

"I have been having a lot of issues with this phone - and its not so much swapping the phone thats an inconvenience, but migrating all my data, etc. Is their any way I can get a different phone?" She said, "that sounds reasonable - let me check." (hold music)

"Yes sir, we can offer you the Bionic free of charge"

I said "Thats really nice of you - but I am very partial to the HTC phones and their interface, I had an incredible, now a tbolt and would like another HTC phone."

She said - "What phone would you like"

I said "how about the Rezound?"

She hesitated and told me it was too new, and I said - well I would like an HTC phone thats AS good if not better. (more hold music)

She said, "Ok we can do the rezound"

She overnighted me the phone, and i should have it tomorrow.

w0000000t!

Haha that's awesome. Sprint would neeeeevvveeerrr do that LOL. Welcome man. It's definately a badass phone. Yur gonna luv it

And that is why verizon is the most expensive carrier in the USA
[HTC Rezound] janderson2k:
I spend almost 600 a month with verizon (phones for my business, FiOS, etc). I am confident that this is NOT why verizon is the most expensive carrier in the US. Verizon has MASSSIVE infrastructure to support (4G, Fiber, etc) that is why its expensive.
[HTC Rezound] AtLemacks:
Not to mention Union workers -_-
[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
For that much a month I'd hope they would hook you up. VZW has been kind to me this year for sure as well.
[HTC Rezound] androidaddict23:
HA ha ha!
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
Damn and I felt good when I got it for $149 when I broke one of my out of warranty Incredibles the day before Rezound launch. And that was in a store.
[HTC Rezound] eallan:
They wouldn't even swap my Bionic with a Razr or Rezound. That's a shame. My thunderbolt has been a champ compared to the piece of crap bionic.
[HTC Rezound] Thadrow:
Wrong. Called one day back then to tell them how my Epic 4g was just acting up.

Gave me offers of free 3d, nexus s, evo shift. I chose nexus at the time. Though i prob would gotten the 3d and never came to verizon. Dont regret the switch.
[HTC Rezound] janderson2k:
All I can say is try try again. Its all in the person you talk to. And the most important part is - take your time and be nice. Ask them how their day is, and wait for an answer. It sounds stupid, but do what every other customer dosnt do, and realize your talking to a person on the other end of the line.. While your waiting for them to look up your account info, ask them if they are having a busy day.. That sorta sh!t goes far.

[HTC Rezound] dragonrazorz:
I was upgraded from a droid eris to a rezound :) itll be here Wednesday

Im always nice to them, and all but one rep said they felt bad for me and actually wanted to help me out, thats how I got a rezound after the mic on the eris broke, and thats not even the phone that came with my contract(citrus then sam. Cont)
[HTC Rezound] Serinety:
this is actually a quiet fact. Ive had them do this 3 times. They key is to continue to have problems with whatever phone you have and have all those problems happen fairly close together (within 3-4 months) and then do exactly as he did.. be nice. Why be mean? people dont respond to meanness.. be nice BUT stern "yes.. thats nice.. BUT i like HTC phones.. BUT ... etc". You might have to go through 2 or 3 transfers but youll get it.

the last time I did it, the rep was being.. difficult. I sat there with him, brainstorming ways i could get a new phone. and i had an 'ahha' moment.

If I was a new customer, I could get the Dinc for 99 right?

yes

and my early termination fee is only 135?

yes

so I could cancel my plan and and the 99 + 135 is still less than if I had to by a new phone outright

hmm.. yes.

okay ill do that!

"can you hold?"..........I can get you that Dinc for the 99 upgrade price, and there is a 99$ main in rebate on that making the phone 0 once you main in that rebate"

2 days later, new phone :)

they will do this every time all the time. .day in and day out. you just need to know how to pillow talk them. :)

I know they have notes on our accounts and could look and see that you have done this like 4 times in the last 2 years.. but they wont and in the 12 years ive had verizon, i have NEVER had a rep know anything about what I did even as little as a few days before. Its always as If ive never called.

good luck!

and GRATS on your rezound!!!!!! Im so happy, this phone is awesome possum
[HTC Rezound] str1der_D:
just to put in my input...this just happened to me as well. free rezound coming up!

my thunderbolt was acting up again and it was my third time RMA'ing in the span of 5 months. they said the only equal phones were the charge, revolution, and even the bionic. so i said hm....how bout the rezound?

he said "let me check.....(hold music)....ok sure!"

my response: "free of charge?"

his: "free of charge"

:D *violent fist pumping and hip thrusting*
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
So, you guys must be extremely lucky. I work for best buy, so I got my tbolt through them. Have had some issues with the screen, power button. Was having the random reboots, but that has stopped, guess it is the new radios out.

I took the phone to best buy, find out we don't repair phones under MFG warranty, so they wouldn't exchange it, even after talking to our GM. Call Verizon 3 times, never said where I got the phone, explain my problems, they say they will take care of me, put me on hold to see what they can do, come back and say, sir looks like you got this phone from best buy, you'll need to go through them or HTC. Call HTC as BB already said no, and I flipping work for them. HTC says all repairs must go through Verizon. Call Verizon back, explain issue fourth time, including what HTC said, still say go through BB. BB still says no. Called our account manager, he said nothing he can do, policy is policy.

Really kinda hating Verizon right now, but att and sprint have terrible networking here and Verizon doesn't. If Att LTE network is solid here, and offers as good or close to same coverage and unlimited with their LTE I might switch, or atleast threaten too.
[HTC Rezound] harecurtis:
WTF

that is crap!

I had the t-bolt and prolly 4-5 replacements and they never once would give me a new phone (they need to do this more often when a faulty phone is released)

because I never have good luck with verizon tech support.

im hoping to either buy the rezound but im unsure due to the issues I had with my t-bolt.
[HTC Rezound] reniur:
Has it been that difficult to get this phone discounted, or comped, due to demand? Are most paying $300?

I admittedly rushed into my Rezound to get off the Sprint network and I tried to talk Verizon into a rebate for having home phone, FIOS, etc. with them for years.

No dice.
[HTC Rezound] ssoares01:
Was able to get this done for my GF recently as well. She was on her 3rd replacement for signal, rebooting and over heating issues. She called the first time and they gave her the upgrad pricing on it... They basically "duped" her into it by not mentioning anything about it until the end when they asked her how she would like to pay for it. I was furious, and she's not an idiot and was really upset by the whole thing.

So anyways, I called them up and after briefly speaking with her to confirm the account and get her permission to speak with me I was able to get transfered to the "replacements" department and speak with them. Gave them the whole story again and explained that she was very upset with the last call and how she was basically fooled into saying yes. Before they could even offer the razr or bionic I explained she didn't want the crappy bionic and did not care for moto phones and that she wanted a rezound because I had one and it has worked flawlessly. Held for a few and they did it as a warranty replacement for her... So she won't get the beats headset and such but either way she will have a much better phone in the end and probably wouldn't use the headset anyways!

My advise to just call them up and explain how frustrated you are. after that many replacements, for a phone that you bought new but has never functioned properly from the start, you should be able to get them to do a warranty replacement with a different phone. Just be persistant, don't be a complete asshole but don't be a pushover either. Remember, your the customer, and you are doing them a favor by being their customer, not the other way around.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Um you know it's going to be a refurbished phone not new and I'll bet they won't send you a battery or back so you'll have to call when you get it to have them send it out. And make sure to get a new SIM and send the old one back with the phone if not they'll try to charge you for a new phone. I'm going through it right now. If you have any questions let me know, that's how I get new phone's all the time. Other then the tbolt and rezound I bought.
[HTC Rezound] Optimus Reim:
My ReZound came in today to exchange my data dropping Bionic. I told them (which is true btw), that it was my 3rd device I and it's the third device I've been having issues with. The lady on the line said that I could swap out for a warranty, but it would be a downgrade, and I said "Well since my phone is top of the line, a downgrade isn't really in my best interest", to which I asked for the Rezound which had to be confirmed with a supervisor. I got a call back the next day and said it wouldn't be a problem.

So now my phone came in today, have to send my Bionic out and now I'm a happy customer! Sucks though cause it came with no headphones, battery or charger (came with the backing though). I was definitely nice in the conversation too. A little courtesy goes a long way, just have a normal conversation.
[HTC Rezound] str1der_D:
the guy that did my warranty sent me a battery and cover too also free of charge. He was a nice guy. :D
[HTC Rezound] ssoares01:
No... wrong in many ways...

- Yes, I'm well aware it's a "refurbished" (at this point, might as well be new) phone. She already has a refurb phone as it is.

- NO, they specifically said they will be sending a battery and back cover

- NO the sim is associated with her account and also gets swapped into the new phone. The only thing that needs to get sent back is the complete phone.

When you get a different phone as a warranty replacement, they send you the battery and cover in addition to the phone. I know where your coming from, because if you get a replacement that is the same model, they do not include the back cover and battery, but that is simply not the case here. In your case, you had a noob on the phone that didn't realize they would need to put in for the back cover and battery to also be sent.

Thats what they are supposed to do.

---------- Post added at 08:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:58 AM ----------

It should have come with the battery... Charger and headphones wouldn't come with it, but it should have had the battery included.
[HTC Rezound] MrCapcom:
If they ever "just" sent the phone and battery cover they probally just messed up somewhere and put it through as a regular RMA. If you brought the Rezound and RMA'd it they would send that. Just talk to them im sure they would happily send you what you need or nicely insist that they let u go to a store or something and pick everything up or just mail it.
