HOW TO FIX A TOTALLY BRICKED BIONIC (& HOW TO McGUYVER CHARGE A DEAD BATTERY too)

I have prepared an uber zip file that contains all you need.

Wish I had it last night! I was up until 3am, worked on this for about 6 hours, and then this finally worked. I tried everything. fastboot, one click this, sd lite, etc. none of it worked.

You will praise me.

this worked - Got my phone back!

of course, I tried every solution in the world and was profoundly frustrated for hours and ran out of battery. but this WORKED. NOTHING else did.

I also had to do the McGuyver thing with an old blackberry usb charger.

snip the end off, strip the red and black wires, insert the red to positive on your battery (battery out of the phone!) insert black to negative, THEN plug in the charger. let it go for at least 1/2 hour.

my uper zip file - UNZIP THIS file to a FOLDER on YOUR DESKTOP.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12759680/fastboot.zip

also Manually copy files (update893 and update901) to your SD card!!!!!

(take out the micro sd, load the files onto it using an adapter.)

1. Put phone in Fastboot mode, connect to computer [hopefully you have the drivers installed. if not, search for Motorola_End_User_Driver_Installation_5.2.0_32bit or the 64 bit if that's your operating system

whenever there is a command, I copied it and pasted it in the command window (ctrl v does not work to paste, you must right click and then paste) dont copy the friggin quotation marks

2. Open a command terminal and go to the Stock folder ("cd C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME\Desktop\fastboot")

3) type these commands in the terminal window and wait for the flashing to finish before going to the next line.

----> "moto-fastboot.exe flash webtop grfs.img" (This file will be flashed in 4 parts)

----> "moto-fastboot.exe flash preinstall preinstall.img"

----> "moto-fastboot.exe flash system system.img" (This file will be flashed in 2 parts)

----> "moto-fastboot.exe reboot"

be patient. some of these steps take a while and you think nothing is happening.

then you see some action in the command prompt box.

Then reboot into stock recovery (volume up+down and power; then select recovery then volume up)

When in recovery, hit both volume up+down, then go to wipe data

then flash update893.zip

If you come upon the triangle with the exclamation point and the android man, dont freak out, hit the power button, down volume, both volume at once, and eventually you will be in recovery.

you will so do a dance.

be patient. some of these steps take a while and you think nothing is happening.

then you see some action in the command prompt box.

wait a day. then, If you're feeling adventurous, reboot into stock recovery and flash 901!

I'm no maven, but I got my phone back and then to 901.

havent rooted again :( but I'm waiting for the developers to catch up to 901, which I downloaded and flashed after getting the damn phone back.

once reboot, did wipe cache and wipe data

update 893, failed during verify data....

crap..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] htcdesirezgeorge:
Ok, here is the deal. It is IMPOSSIBLE to revive your phone from the process that I did. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU FLASH 5.5.901 AND THEN DO A FACTORY RESTORE OR RECOVER IN TO A CUSTOM ROM. DO NOT ATTEMPT OR YOU WILL IRREPARABLE BRICK YOUR PHONE!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nateohio:
What are you talking about when you say factory restore? Are you talking about doing a factory data reset?

Because many have done FDR's without a problem.

Have you tried the one click script that P3Droid and the guys at rootzwiki came up with to get everybody back on the upgrade path?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dellenrules:
That's weird.

I returned to stock from 901 using the method in the first link I posted without a hitch.

FYI
[Motorola Droid Bionic] anwarlucas:
I believe the second post was the answer to your problem.. now second option is to cut a usb cable and connect the negative and positive cables to your battery and leave it for an hour or so to charge..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] nateohio:
This guy obviously doesn't want any help.

He pops in once in a while with a frantic nonsensical post and doesn't bother to read our posts that can help him.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] htcdesirezgeorge:
Oh no, I definitely wanted help BUT I was dumb and used my bionic as my sole internet connection. I have my insurance replacement now($100 down the drain). I had tried ALL of the fixes but non even remotely succeeded. What ended up happening was that I somehow made it where it would not even begin to flash files. I purchased an extended battery but yyyyyeeeeaaaaahhhhh lol, so now I have shiney new supplied for my new phone lol.

Oh wells, you win some and lose some.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ebourlet:
Fails for me on first line

My phone goes strait to AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)(Invalid CDT) at power up.

When I enter the first line of these instructions "moto-fastboot.exe flash webtop grfs.img" I get an error that states

load_file: could not allocate 1397489664 bytes

error: cannot load 'grfs.img'

Any ideas?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SonicJoe:
Grfs.img is not what you need to flash. You need to flash the .901 cdt.bin file. If you still see errors after that, see what it wants you to flash.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ebourlet:
Thanks ,sorry I went back and re read the OP I think I get the syntax you need to tell it what the file name is and where to put it. I was able to get the phone to reboot after flashing the cdt.bit for .901 but it looks like now I have no data connection. But at least I have a phone again . Thanks everybody for putting up with my stupid questions.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] neveret:
I'm having the same problem. Fastboot flash mode (s) (invalid cdt)

I tried some of these steps but get an error when trying to flash cdt.bin

here is what it looks like:

C:\Desktop\fastboot>moto-fastboot.exe flash webtop grfs.img

I was trying to use the cdt.bin from the 901 update. I'm stuck please help.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Johnnykorn:
You need to tell it what file to put and where. your command is missing some syntax.

"moto-fastboot flash cdt.bin cdt.bin"

Also, make sure your flashing the correct version to what is currently on your phone or upgrading to..
[Motorola Droid Bionic] neveret:
aha! I feel a little silly but thanks, hopefully this will put me on the right path.

hi

i got a bionic droid stuck on fastboot with a dead battery . its bricked i thinnk. but i nneed help, were can i download your zip file from cause i cant seem too find it anywhere. the drop box juss says error 404.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jjkoolaid:
Well...you're not alone in this issue. I also did this. What I did was take a battery from a droid x that i had lying around and wired it so the battery posts were where they supposed to be, then run it through rsd and wait till it finishes to reboot itself or manually then switch the batter with the right one. Whalla!! I think i still have the picture of it to prove it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] zlebors:
same here... I really need those files, where can I get them?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Casey Walt:

[LG Optimus 2x] oleg1981:
some times the phone stops responding to the power button. just black screen. nothing helps. only to take out the battery. can it be the sdcard?

CM 7.2
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

This sounds like a SOD(sleep of death).

Do you use the latest KANG?

What kernel do you use?

Standard kernel or a custom build?

It could be the battery - I had SODs after reinstalling the stock battery – switching back to my Andida battery I use since August 2011 helped.

But this was in connection with an UV-kernel - didn't have SOD with standard kernel.
[LG Optimus 2x] releva:
Use a more stable rom. Stock based ones.
[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

The latest CM7-KANGs are very stable - I actually have less trouble/SODs/instabilities with them I ever had with stock based roms.:cool::D

But temasek/CM7-sources had a few little hiccups in KANG building around x-mas, which are sorted out right now – so the OP should update to the very latest kang since their seem to be some KANGs in between with some issues…;):D
[LG Optimus 2x] temasek:
This to me I'm 99% sure its a SOD. You cannot recover unless u pull your battery.

Nothing is wrong with your phone. It just happens with our phone though I've not had a sod since long long ago.

Update to latest rom and just pray it doesn't come back again.
[LG Optimus 2x] eniux:
If it happens again use power + vol up. Depending on your sd card it might require an extra shutdown because it doesn't mount properly. I just hate pulling battery with people around cause it looks stupid :p
[LG Optimus 2x] backylasek:
try to use another rom...for example guestes rom...it´s very stable

How can I go about overclocking my droid charge? I am running TWEAKSTOCK 1.0 rom and was wondering how to overclock my charge?
[Verizon Droid Charge] bkhorn:
I haven't seen any over clockable kernels so until then I don't think you can.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chitala383:
Download tegrak overclock from the market if u want to overclock. I'm running mine at 1.2 and undervolted and it works great.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blueis300:
With the same kernel?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Well, if you actually searched, this would be clearly stated in many threads.

For GB overclocking, use Tegrak for now, until we can get an actual OC kernel up and running. I think Tegrak will work on the stock kernel as long as you're rooted, as it uses a module to modify the CPU frequency.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
Another tegrak user here. I paid for the ultimate version for undervolt and start on boot
[Verizon Droid Charge] BattsNotIncld:
Are there noticeable improvements with overclocking/undervolting?

Also what settings do you use?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Does anyone else read noop as nope?

What's the difference between internal and CPU voltage?

Also, I hope you know that Orthos does not scale well across multiple cores. You are essentially relying on Task Manager to put the load on different cores.Orthos was originally made with dual cores in mind.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
Apparently little is known in the public domain about Internal voltage. I have been unable to find good information regarding Internal voltage. Knowing little about the architecture of the SOC, I suspect it is a voltage that controls different parts of the SOC hub. I suspect that you could say its synonymous with a computer motherboard's voltage (although there are several.)

I find it interesting that, as far as I can tell, few people have increased Internal voltage much even though they may achieve a clock speed of 1.6GHz by increasing CPU voltage.

In any case, I have heard reports of instability by going to low, as would be expected. I haven't found the need to increase Internal voltage yet.

P.S. You can run an instance of Prime95 on each "core" or one instance of Orthos per two "cores" and still be able to test stability reliably. You have to set Core affinity, and I usually set it so that each core and hyperthreaded core each get an instance of Orthos. In this case, each core's usage will be 100%.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Internal SOC voltage...maybe akin to northbridge or southbridge voltage? When OCing a computer you have to keep the northbridge within a nominal voltage of the CPU frequency (if that makes sense). Too much of a discrepancy makes the computer unstable. Increasing the southbridge voltage increases the memory overclocking stability with large amounts of RAM, and obviously, when you overclock a processor you are also overclocking memory.

Maybe we could ask the developer? Although he is Korean and we may not be able to get our point across.

For stability testing on PCs I recommend OCCT. Scales well over Multiple cores and also allows GPU and power supply stability testing.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
Well, I have heard of slight Internal Voltage increases being necessary for high overclocks on Hummingbird. I have heard dropping it causes major instability. I would guess that it doesn't need to be modified for modest overclocks.

I did quite a bit of web searching trying to find conclusive guides or overclocking results for Humminbird to no avail.

I use ATI Tool for checking GPUs, but OCCT may be better. It seems OCCT has improved a fair bit, I may use it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Probably because no one has taken the time to write one. Not exactly in high demand. I knew of one "guide" but the site has been down for quite some time.

Of course there are noobs guides but nothing quite in depth. I suppose people don't write them because there are obvious limits set by the kernel dev, and anything beyond that requires someone who obviously knows what they're doing, which defeats they purpose of a guide.

Soooo,... I seem to be able to connect to the wifi everywhere but at home on my linksys 400N. Everything was ok, a couple of hiccups, then things progressively went downhill until last friday then everything went dead with the wifi. Everything says it connects with no issue, says it is connected and doesn't drop but I get no data from surfing. Went to my sister's place in NY, and had no issues with her connection, everything was fine. Things I've done:

- Froze my account.

- switched from wep to wpa to wpa2 to no protection

- currently upgrading to Jugs 4.0 for KL1 will update back *Did not work*

- switched out routers to my old wrt54g

- toggled data packets, airplane mode, turn wifi on/off, jiggled the handle,...

- power cycled everything in the house including the refrigerator,....

- tried setting up a static ip addy

- have no mac filtering

- every other wifi device in the house has no problems.

- update got new sim card and didn't expect anything, but didn't help either.

at best i get a blip of wifi then it goes dead. I'm starting to get stressed. Obviously the phone's wifi works, and i've heard the wrt400n is a little iffy, but is there anything that i have missed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jrkart99:
singled out the router

avoid the wrt400n router. it does not play nice with the t989. soon as i plugged back in the trusty old wrt54g and sorted everything out there were no more issues
[Atrix 4G General] bunder9999:
Bought a Moto S10-HD headset, and it sounds great, but I noticed that when I get notifications, my music pauses like normal, but the notification sound gets played on the phone, and it's not passed along to the headset. Music resumes as normal after the notification. That doesn't happen when using the wired headphones, but if I'm using a bluetooth headset and I leave my phone in the other room, the only way I'll know if I get a notification will be the music pausing.

Any ideas?
[Atrix 4G General] Frrrrrrunkis:
It does that to me with my Car stereo when its hooked up via BT. It isn't really an issue for me since I am never far enough away from my phone where i don't hear the notification coming from the phone. I never thought about why it does this, but since you brought it up, I would love to know as well.
[Atrix 4G General] troycarpenter:
A quick google search shows that this is apparently the holy grail for bluetooth headphone users. However, I think the same thing happens with wired headphones as well.

I too, would like to know why and have it solved.
[Atrix 4G General] bunder9999:
My stock wired headphones play the notification tone fine.

While I'm here, another thing I noticed is the system sounds that are played over bluetooth are somewhat quiet compared to music. That also doesn't happen on the wired headphones. :confused:

Do you have the ability to restore to stock? Try that, than if your brave enough, do it again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aston06:
I remember when I bought my Samsung i8910 a couple of years ago I didn't know to buy a version for a specific region as opposed to another, and as updates for the Italian version consistently rolled in my Portuguese version NEVER was available for update (even 2 year later) without flashing a new ROM ... not a big deal now but not the easiest thing back then. Is that still the case today ? I am planning on buying an International GS2 for use on AT&T in the US ...and bottom line is there some version that is better than another?

So, I am asking how many apps (not huge ones, like HD games) can you install before phone memory gets full?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HSNalfar3:
with Root and link2sd app you can download as this much

but without root I can geruntee that you can download about 100+ if you exclude the hd games and used the native app2sd
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flo95:
I had 140 apps installed and 80MB free, just used native App2SD.

Now I cleared out the Junk and have ~100 Apps or so left and 100-105MB free memory

I'm planning on installing ~50 apps (+some games) so I guess there won't be any problems.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heihei_ivan:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lusterboi:
what is Link2sd ? I'm sorry but I'm still new to the android system. Is there a way lock my download files onto the SD card and not onto the phone memory ?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luhccas-X10:
Link2sd is a app that can move your aplications/games to a second partition created by you on your SD card.
