Well 5 more SBF's and countless factory resets and cache wipes later.....STILL NO LUCK!!! Even tried maderstck340.zip and that didn't work either. I give up!!! I'm ready to break this thing and pay the insurance fee and start with a fresh phone. I cannot believe that this is so broke that even sbf'ing will not fix it. I wish someone knew what was going on. I appreciate the thoughts so far.
If no one else is going to say it, I will. You are talking about committing insurance fraud, which is the very reason why rooting, as we know it, may cease to exist soon. These manufacturers are locking their phones down more than we've ever known because of people like you. When you root your phone, and the phone becomes unusable (for whatever the reason), you should man up and buy a new one. It's not Verizon's or Motorola's fault that you installed your leaked un-approved software on their hardware and can't get it back to your likings. When I chose to root my phone, I thought about whether I really wanted to buy another one if I f'ed it up and I felt it was worth it. Apparently you thought "I'll just commit insurance fraud if I eff it up." So I'm sorry if this comes across as harsh, but I'm tired of reading "help, help, help, I f'ed up my phone....oh you don't have the answer? I'll just commit insurance fraud and everyone wins *wink wink*." The fact is, everyone loses....because of you. The moment you rooted, that phone became your problem. Deal with it like a man.
Breaking his phone and filing an insurance claim has less than nothing to do with why manufacturers are cracking down on rooting. MAYBE if he was talking about filing a warranty claim I would somewhat agree with you but as it stands I completely disagree.
