Hey flhurricane - man - could be either or both now.

I'd find a Sprint Retail store nearby with a repair center and try and get some advice from the guys that get these types of questions more often. They'd know if it was the battery or hardware, and might be able to swap you a battery on the spot just to see. I think Sprint may be revamping the repair policy so go talk to them - if it needs repair - you may be able to get a good deal if you're past 30 days and can't return at no cost. I think they dropped all repair charges down to $35. See here.

Not sure what Samsung offers for hardware issues on undamaged phones, but again, the local repair center could give some more direction.
[Surround General] panflute:
As you know the Surround has a built in FM radio receiver. If you open it with out earphones plugged in it will not open until you plug in headphones that function as an antenna. However, after you plug in headphones, if you tap and hold the current frequency it gives you the option to turn on the internal speakers. Also, after the radio picks up the station info, you can add it to your favorties list and it will appear in your list by hitting the *. I would like to fashion an antenna to plug in using the 3.5mm jack and will post when I figure out what materials to use although you can cut off the ends of an old non working earphones and roll it up into a circle..that may work sufficiently for strong stations.
[Surround General] XeNoMoRpH1030:
I would use your idea to use a set of old headphones or cheap headphones. Seems like the simplest solution.

well the 3rd picture down. the big white block on the right matches up to exactly where it is on my gtab but in this hardware breakdown i didn't see any explanation as to what the big white square to the right was (we have only the vertical 2d view!!)

so i couldn't tell if it's an empty spot, the top of a shell, or what :P

so still i don't have my answer. maybe i overlooked it in this hardware review ?
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
If I'm hearing you right, that's the spot for the mini pci-x slot... which is not on the board. Regardless, there is no cell radio on the board.
[G Tablet General] switt:
I wouldn't hold out hope they included a 3g modem w/o telling us about it. The easiest way would be to resolder the mini PCI express headers and plug one in, if those are actually for mini pci-x.
[G Tablet General] KorbenD:
The open solder pads above the mini PCI-e slot, all the way at the edge, that's where the SIM socket would go.
[G Tablet General] t3h_g3n3r4l:
The big white block is the SIM card slot. It's labeled on the silkscreen layer as such anyhow. The mini-pci slot connects directly so several of the connection points from the SIM headers, so I'm not sure if it would be of much use for anything other than 3G.

A few days ago I successfully rooted my phone to s-off status. Since then I have installed ROMmanager and ClockworkMod.

For the past 2 days, I've been having Market download issues where some apps begin and appear to complete downloading, but don't actually install. I've tried clearing the download manager and restarting, but that didn't work.

Anyone else seeing this?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneBadLT123:
Mine just recently today started force closing after every app I clicked update on. I would restart it, work fine then click on an app to update then FC. Thing is, the application continues to update normally and works fine. Its just the market is screwy or something...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sicdroid:
Try clearing the data for market... Then reboot. I haven't had the issue with my 4g, but I did on my vibrant and that was the solution.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master™:
Yeah, I am having issues. Mine will start to download, then it will just stop. Same with updates, I think it is a Market issue. Not a phone issue.

But mine just started tonight.

Edit: Woah, it works now.. Looks like my issue is gone, check on your side.

Edit 2: Stopped working again! :(

Edit 3: Looks like apps will only install when I hit "Automatic updates"

Edit 4: Scratch "Edit 3" seems to only work sometimes.. Looks like a market issue still, and not phone.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allen099:
Wow, you really took my brain for a ride. I think I need a vacation! :-P ... I hate how these issues can come out of the blue because they're all server-side. I've had to swap my phone out several times before I got one without dust under the screent, etc. On top of this, my neighborhood has downed towers so the network is a bit spotty. All this started the day after I received my latest MT4G. This is the stuff heart attacks are made from!

[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
What phone D2 or D2 G and which SBF did you use?

I assume you used the 2.2.00 sbf when you needed the 2.3.20 SBF once you have the 2.3.20 update the bootloader is changed and won't accept the 2.2.0 sbf.

IF that's the case you need to try flashing it with the 2.3.20 SBF found HERE

Read the bottom of THIS post if you get a bootloop or stuck at the M logo screen.
[Droid 2 General] anducly:

[Droid 2 General] myrakle:
will this work on the droid x?
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
You probably flashed the wrong SBF. You need to find the latest DX SBF they should be found in the DX section of XDA. Off the top of my head I can't think of the latest release.
[Droid 2 General] Ronbo85:
I have a similar problem. I just got this phone and dont know the history other than the ESN is clear with vzw. It goes str8 to the BL screen and has this...

Bootloader

D2.35

Battery OK

OK to program

Tranfer Mode: USB

I Dloaded RSD lite 4.7 an the 2.35 BL sbf as well as the orig 2.2 and 2.3 FW sbf's. RSD will communicate with the phone. I can reload the BL sbf if I open the sbf file but none of the FW sbf will load in RSD, the start button command stays grayed out. Also in RSD on line 1 of the phone status it shows connected but above that in the device properties box info for the meid/esn etc show N/A.

I can access the recovery menu and at the bottom there is an error report for accessing recovery cache in a folder path.

Can I put an update.zip on an sd card and try to revive this thing that way or maybe I am doing something wrong? I am guessing this is the result of some botched flash job.

I have done some modding on my Droid X such as backing it up, deodexing and put the Liberty ROM on it as well and changing ROMS on my android tablet so I have some of the basics down but after much searching & reading I am seeking help with this one. Thanks in advance!

Edit: Now my battery is dead, I have found in other threads that a blank software device wont charge the battery if this helps
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Maybe try flashing in linux and make sure you have read up about flashing SBF's on a DX. I don't know which one to flash as this is the D2 section and I have a D2.

This error is normal disregard it.

That would work if you can find an update.zip made by moto that will go through the bootloader. And it doesn't really matter how it got here but probably it is a bad flash or a wrong ROM. (You might try connecting it via wall charger (not USB) while it's powered down then turn it on and see if you can get into clockwork recovery.)

You need to find someone with a DX to swap/charge your battery with so you can get in and flash it or you need an external battery charger (one that will charge the battery outside of the phone).
[Droid 2 General] Ronbo85:
Hi, thank you for the reply. I know I made comments about my DX I have as well but to be clear this is a Droid 2 I am working on. I will get the battery charged somehow and let you know what I come up with, thanks again
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Oh. In that case you need the 2.3.20 SBF found here http://droid2files.com/tools/VRZ_A955_2.3.20_1FF_01.sbf after you can get the phone charged. (If it helps the D2 has the same size battery as the D1 so you can swap/charge a D2 battery with a D2 or a D1.)

Also try finding RSDLite 4.8 or 4.9 as they might work better for you. I'd give you a link but I Haven't flashed an SBF with RSDlite I just use linux.
[Droid 2 General] Ronbo85:
Cool thank you again. I got the battery charging via a rig I have done before with other devices from a camera charger. My linux(zorin) machine lost keyboard function out of the clear blue I havent had a chance to sort it yet(another project lol) but I do have a live usb thumb drive setup to use for linux. I'll try on this windows machine for now.

I'll keep you posted as to the results
[Droid 2 General] Ronbo85:
well I got the battery charged up. I still have this problem when I select either the 2.2 or 2.3 sbf files the start button for applying the flash stays grayed out as if the files are invalid. If I select a bootloader sbf the start button is ok and I can load the BL sbf. I tried switching to rsd 4.8 too. I will keep playing around with it and maybe try to get my linux pc going.
[Droid 2 General] Ronbo85:
Ok well even tho I had a few copies of the sbf files I went ahead and dloaded the one you linked. It would load in the rsd app but when I hit start to apply I get.... "Failed Flashing Process (0x7100) and this happens right away
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Are you still using rsdlite 4.7? I had problems with it not too long ago. Downloaded 4.8 and worked like a charm. Hope you get it sorted out.

[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
You might need to put the file in the C: drive of your windows box. At least that's what a another forum post found from a Google search suggested.

Or try linux Check here for more info: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804088. It's an old version of Ubuntu and there are somethings I want to add to it, I'll be updating it as soon as I have some free time to put it together using the 10.10 version.
[Droid 2 General] Ronbo85:
I found this link... http://androidforums.com/droid-all-...-failed-flashing-process-0x7100-rsd-lite.html check out post #32

It does make a difference where the file is located yes and I got the sbf to perform the flash but after a lengthy process looks like about 3 steps and it takes 3-5 min I end up with a fail messege. There is more info I could provide but its been a long Monday I need to give it a break and now the batt is low again.

Thank you all again for your much appreciated help. I will regroup tomorrow. I will try to log in on my phone to see any ideas I mite need to think over.
[Droid 2 General] Ronbo85:
Thanks, yes I switched to 4.8, seems the problem was my sbf file itself to begin with, I dloaded the one linked on this page and now it goes thru the flashing process(see my previous post) and errors out. Dont remember the error but I am charging my batt again while I get settled in here and regroup. Will post my findings.
[Droid 2 General] Ronbo85:
Ok here is what it does after seemingly getting mostly thru the flashing process after about 5 minutes for whatever its worth...

"Failed flash process-phone(0000)error switching phone to BP passthrhough mode (0x70BE)-phone disconnected-executed 100% - Fail"

at this point the phone display still appears the flash is underway indefinately.

I am going to look into doing this in linux
[Droid 2 General] Ronbo85:
Well I thought I just update everyone. I have now tried this on a windows xp machine to no avail. So now that makes it 4 different PC's 2 of them windows vista 1 window 7, 1 windows xp trying numerous copies of the 2.3.2 full sbf. I also tried rsd lite 4.7,4.8 & 4.9 as well as the 4.7 and 4.8 drivers. All give me the same result with a failed bp pass through message in my above post. After I reboot the phone and up with a code corrupt boot loader which I can fix by reflashing the bootloader sbf. I get the same end result with the linux. The only thing I notice is if I flash with the 2.3.2 system only sbf it seems to work successfully with any of the above combinations but all I end up is back in the bootloader again.

Everyone says if you see the motorola logo and can access the recovery menu that you do not have a brick and I get both of those. If there is some kind of update zip file I could use maybe with a stock recovery that a system will accept?

Sent from my DROIDX
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
If the sbf's worked and you are back to stock you should be able to put the 2.3.20 sbf update.zip into stock recovery and if your system is stock it should go through. if you have something renamed or missing from your /system it won't work and you are at the same place you started.

Go here for the update.zip choose the first link in the first post for the download it should be the odexed update.zip.

(you can try the deodexed too if you would like but if this is gonna work I would think the odexed one will have a better chance.)

Then hopefully you have a card reader or some way of getting the file onto the root of your d2's sdcard. After it's on (or before, your choice) rename it to update.zip if it isn't the moto stock bootloader won't let the .zip through as you won't be able to choose the zip. It will just scan the root folder of your sdcard for "update.zip".

Hopefully that works and you can get this D2 running again.
[Droid 2 General] Ronbo85:
Hi

To be clear the full 2.3.2 sbf has the BP pass through error & causes a code corrupt BL after I reboot. I then have reflash the BL and then I'm back the always boots the the BL problem. If I use the system only 2.3.2 sbf the flash has no errors but still boots to the BL only.

I already tried the 2 files on MDW from recovery renaming them to update.zip and got a signature verification error. My recovery is the stock one. I will try all this again when I get home just to be sure. Check out one of my last post in ur "flashing with Linux" thread.

Thank you again

Sent from my DROIDX
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
Ok that's right. Sorry for telling you to do what you've done. That was the only way I could think of to do an update.zip and the only update.zip that would go through the stock recovery iff (if and only if) your system was clean but even then the problems you've been having point towards possibly a bigger hardware problem.
[Droid 2 General] Ronbo85:
HI, I just got home and I have a correction to what I said too. When I use the system only 2.3.2 sbf which gives no errors during the flash this is when I get...

Bootloader

D2.35

Err:A5,70,70,00,1F

MEM_MAP Blank

Service Req'd

Battery OK

OK to program

Connect USB

Data cable

It will only boot to this screen and I cant access recovery. If I retry the flash with the full 2.3.2 sbf I will get the switching to BP pass through error and fail message but I will be able to access recovery.
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
That seems odd to me because after the 2.3.2 sbf you should be at the "D2.37" bootloader not in "D2.35". But maybe the system only sbf doesn't update the bootloader and the full sbf does?
[Droid 2 General] Ronbo85:
Actually I have the 2.37 BL I copied and pasted some of that info in the post but none of the 2.3.2 sbf's ever changed the BL version. I have the sbf's for the BL as well and have tried both of them during this process. I can switch BL's at will, the BL sbf's have no trouble flashing.

What I just did now was flash the full 2.3.2 sbf (currently I have the 2.37BL) and got the usual error switching the BP passthrough then fail 100%. I pull the batt and get the code corrupt BL screen. I reflash the BL sbf and then it boots to the BL screen/ready to program with no errors & now I CAN access the recovery menu. So it seems part of the flash is taking hold. I have to agree there is some hardware problem. Last nite I thought I stumbled onto something when I read about SPrecovery but learned that was Droid1 only. Sounds like what I need to go further.

Thanks so much for your help

Similar issue

Hello. I'm having a very similar issue. My post is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=23921408#post23921408

but I will copy pasta it at the end of this post because I'm cool like that.

I have a fully stock Droid R2D2 that I never screwed with, I tried to run the OTA update, and now I am stuck at the boot loader screen described below. After reading this entire thread, am I correct to think that if I copy this file: http://www.mydroidworld.com/topic/4...present-droid-2-2320-triple-threat/#post37316 that you mentioned, to my sd card and then do the hold-x while booting and go to the recovery bit, I will be able to restore my device?

My original Post:

Hello! I have been searching through the forums and have found several similar issues to mine, but I have some questions/concerns as to whether the solutions mentioned apply to exactly my situation.

I have a Motorola Droid R2D2 edition. I Did not do anything to it. I did not root, I did not side load anything, I did not try to roll back anything. I was minding my own business and received a message regarding a firmware update OTA. I assumed this was going to fix the horrible behavior introduced by the previous OTA, (random reboots etc) So excitedly.. I let it do its thing.

Big Mistake...

I think THIS: http://support.verizonwireless.com/p...droid_r2d2.pdf is the update I was installing.

Now it is stuck on a black boot loader screen. Here are my concerns about the other post.

1.) A similar problem was had with a normal Droid 2, but his boot loader was version D2.35 Mine says D2.37 Can I use the same tools that were mentioned here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=849658 ?

2.) My error code is different, his says Err:A5,70,00,1F Mine says A5,70,00,00,23

What does this code mean? These kinds of things intrigue me

3.) I do not have that mem_map message.

My screen looks exactly like this:

Bootloader

D2.37

Err:A5,70,00,00,23

Battery OK

OK to Program

Connect USB

Data Cable

Can I just do what the other guy did in the above mentioned post? Or do I have to do something else? I'd prefer not to take a 25 mile drive to the nearest Verizon store to beat them..err I mean.. ask them to re-flash it, if I can just do that myself.
