DROID Update turned phone into brick

If I could interject, isn't recovery X and power button, then Volume up and camera. Not that it matters now.

Yes, didn't I say that?

No, you said for him to boot into recovery by pressing the camera button and volume up, that is why he wasn't getting into recovery. I mean for most people when you say boot into recovery, that is a given, but I don't think he knew.

I am so retarded

Lol, no, you've probably done it so many times, it's second nature.

 

[RoLa]

Without having access to the sdcard or not having the usb cable to flash the sbf....I'm not sure if there is anything that can be done

I haven't booted into stock recovery for awhile, I guess that's why I skipped over the part that we usually do.

"isn't recovery X and power button, then Volume up and camera."-----I didn't know above sequence

Following instruction.... screen shows

Andriod system recovery <2e>

selections allowed are:
- reboot system now
- apply sdcard:update.zip
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition


bottom half screen has error message in yellow...
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

 

[RoLa]

Yes you are there ...I'm very sorry for the lack of details...Wipe data/factory reset> wipe cache partition push the gold button on d-pad
after that is done select reboot system now..
