Phone failed to boot 4 , Bricked?

Im uninstalling everything right now and redoing it all , charging up the wifes battery on her x to get a full one and give it another go before Im off to bed.
 
Well I charged battery, new drivers, different usb cord hooked to different input, new sbf and same result . I'm getting a bad feeling I'm screwed

This Is Where I Hate Living Far Away From People And Not Able To Access Their Device. The Point Where They Feel All Hope Is Lost. &(*&(^^%&^%^&$%^$#!!!!
 
Haven't been able to sleep and thought I would try it out on my wifes laptop. I installed everything and still am getting a pass on rsd and same boot error . At least it rules out my computer if that is any consolation (which its not).

Latest Version Of RSD
Latest Drivers For Motorola

Give Me Some Time, Hoping Before Lunch I Can Have An Answer.
 
I'm not sure how you're getting a PASS result with out it booting up. Every time I sbf after it finishes my phone is already booted and I have to manually shut down the phone and hold volume up as it powers on to re start rsd protocol, only then will RSDlite give me a PASS result.

Obviously this doesn't help you but the best I can contribute is this. Are you sure it's flashing completely? The progress bar goes through several 100% s and if I recall correctly the phone reboots twice then the final flash takes place when the phone is booted up normally. And like I said above it's never said PASS for me until I manually re entered the bootloader.

Whether its flashing completely I'm not sure but RSD is giving a pass result. It does reboot to the M logo a couple times and on the last phase it says rebooting in RSD my phone reboots itself gets to the M Logo and sits there , RSD goes to about 26% then immediately says pass and back on this error over and over.
 
Well that there is telling me it's actually not flashing properly, that last time around should be 20% at the M, 40-60% you should be in the boot animation phase and by 80% you should be at the unlock screen.

Do you have a linux box? I don't know if anyone has actually flashed a X2 with linux yet but there's no reason it won't work that I know of.

Also just to cover bases here, did you install gingerbread update and now you're trying to sbf? Apologies if you covered that already. I've been awake for a loooong time lol.

I was attempting to sbf to install gingerbread hoping I would catch the ota.Here is the process RSD is going through :

1. Phone (0000) Creating Image File
2. Reboot
3. Phone (0000) Interface AP-OS Flashing code group (group numbers ascending till it gets to group 65
4. Reboot
5. Switching device to BP pass through mode while rebooting
6. Interface BP Flashing Code group 5
7. Reboot
8. Phone is being rebooted (at which point always says Executed 26% then immediate 100 and PASS is on screen, phone still has Failed to Boot 4 Starting RSD mode
 
I followed the instructions at http://www.droidforums.net/forum/motorola-droid-x2/155969-droid-x2-sbf-get-here-2.html which said hold volume down and it did come up fast boot and I got into the rsd protocol menu but now it does nothing . I tried as you suggested just now to do volume up and power and it still eventually comes up Failed to boot 4 starting RSD mode.


Okay If It's Saying Starting RSD Mode Then Plug It Back Into Your Computer And Re-Flash The SBF. Also Be Sure Your USB Cable Is In The Back Ports Not Top Or Front.

Don't listen to this clown. I SBFed twice this last week and used the front ports both times...
 
Everything except the last portion looks right. Something is going wrong at the end.

Just to be clear you are 100% sure you have the correct sbf file? If so...

My best suggestion for you at this point is try linux. If you don't have it don't worry you can get it free and you don't even need to install it, you can run it from a disc or usb drive.

Grab ubuntu and make a disc/usb drive and boot it up. Open up konsole and type "sbf_flash <location of sbf file>" (with no quotes) at the same point you'd click start in RSDlite. No drivers needed or anything, linux is cool like that, just one command does it.

I downloaded the file three different times from these forums and xda , the sbf Im flashing is VRZ_MB870_DTN-14.8_1FF_01.sbf. I can try the linux route although Im not really sure what I'm doing with it I will follow your instructions and see what I can try , thank you.
 
That's the correct file alright.

I've been awake for nearly 40 hours so sorry about my lack of detailed instructions but, if you head over to droidx forums I'm almost 100% sure there is a detailed write up about using linux to flash the x, so I'd poke around there if you feel like more information would help you.

It looks pretty straightforward , they pretty much made it idiotproof with a walkthrough on Ubuntu's website . Hoping this works!!
