But that doesn't say whether you tried what I told you to do and what the result was if you did. So...kinda confused?
You're not hard bricked. *BUT*....you must do what I say carefully if you wanna fix it. Deal?First, is 235 on your sdcard-ext? You MUST have that update on the sdcard-ext for this to work. If not pull the sdcard, put it in a card reader/other phone/whatever, and copy the 235 update zip to it. This is REQUIRED that it be there to fix this. Once that is done.....
1) Use the RESINTALL 235 option
2) Make sure the phone is in AP Fastboot with a charged battery
3) Start with option 3 on the REINSTALL menu. It will flash a bunch of stuff....a sort of mini-fxz that i created for 235 and 238 users cause we're clearly reckless.
4) Once that flash finishes, do not touch the phone, and go to option 4. It will tell you to power off, boot up in recovery, and flash the 235 update. Wipe the cache, reboot the phone, root as needed.
Bob's your uncle. Good luck!!
Couple of things use reinstall in what program? I cant find the 235 leak on my sd and all the download links i find are no longer working.
Did not see your previous post. My apologies. Thanks for the quick reply.
And didn't look at the OP of this thread, either, based on your previous post's questions. LOL
Since you're in a bind I'm gonna cut you some slack and help directly.Download and install these in this order:

ADrive | Online Storage, Online Backup, Cloud Storage

Now, once all that is installed, you'll see a SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic folder on your desktop. Inside will be a 235 folder. You will see the update zip in there. You MUST get that onto your SDCARD before doing the rest of this. Once that's done, boot up the phone in AP Fastboot, then do this:
1) Run the HouseOfBionic.bat in the SamuriHL_HouseOfBionic folder
2) Select the REINSTALL 235 option
3) On the next menu, start with option 3 to prepare the phone for the update. (NOTE: this will use RSD Lite to flash the mini-fxz files for 235 to your phone. When it's done, LEAVE THE PHONE IN AP Fastboot and go to option 4 on the menu!)
4) When done flashing, and with your phone still in AP Fastboot, go to option 4 and follow the directions to reboot into recovery. You will then flash the 235 update, wipe the cache, and reboot your phone.
5) Optionally root the thing when you're done rebooting
This will recover you. However, I will warn you. If the phone bootloops after doing this (hangs at the M or on the droid eye), you'll need to reboot into recovery and do a factory reset and reboot again. That will wipe your phone and give you a factory fresh 235 install to work with.

NO...
They're already on 235 so they're already screwed. Might as well get em in the same boat as the rest of us. If they don't like it, they can downgrade to 235 easy enough.
