Phone failed to boot 4 , Bricked?

[nlinecomputers]

Don't listen to this clown. I SBFed twice this last week and used the front ports both times...

Dude cool it on the insults because that is not true for all PCs. . Some PCs use cheap USB ports on the front that are not upto USB specs. IT causes errors. And some are fine. So it is a valid warning. I've been building and repairing PCs for 16 years and have seen this often. Mostly on white box systems but even name brand units by Dell or HP.

Okay I was a few steps off lol sorry I installed this many moons ago. Go here first post near the bottom are the manual instructions and the download link for sbf_flash which you'll need (obviously)

Ok, so I believe I'm making some headway , I got down the basics of it and put sbf flash and the sbf on the desktop and its giving me this error :

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ chmod +x sbf_flash
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ ./VRZ_MB870_DTN-14.8_1FF_01.sbf
bash: ./VRZ_MB870_DTN-14.8_1FF_01.sbf: Permission denied



I tried messing around with the permissions of the file and I got this error

ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ chmod +x sbf_flash
ubuntu@ubuntu:~/Desktop$ ./VRZ_MB870_DTN-14.8_1FF_01.sbf
bash: ./VRZ_MB870_DTN-14.8_1FF_01.sbf: cannot execute binary file

Okay, what you need to do is enter this:

./sbf_flash <filename>

./ is like telling the computer to run something, so ./sbf_flash is running sbf_flash. Putting the filename after is telling sbf_flash what to use.

What you did was tell the computer to run a file as a program, which can't be done.

Get it?

Also you only need to run the chmod line once, that's changing the permission of sbf_flash to executable, so doing it more than once is pointless.

yeah , I hear ya . Im about to throw it out the window and claim my insurance .We shall see its running pretty slow but no errors or anything yet .

 

[juhde]

I'm pretty confident this will work, just because you were getting it to *mostly* flash with RSDlite. Just for some reason the last part wouldn't take. The nice thing about linux is there is nothing to interfere with the process, like drivers or windows crap lol. Flashing with linux is bullet proof, so if it won't work now it's probably never going to.

Good luck and let me know what happens.

Well damn I'm gonna have to say it's a hardware issue, cause that is definitely been flashed, linux won't lie to you like windows.

other than getting a replacement the only other thing I can think of is getting a TBH programming cable and using that to flash it. which will take time and a little cash to get. Might as well just file an insurance claim.

Sorry I couldn't help more.
