What screen so you see in the device when it boots? Are there error codes on that screen?

Are you using the correct sbf files?

Re-download the sbf file for your device just in case it is corrupt.

Are you using rsdlite 4.8 or higher?

If you can boot to a linux distro (live cd, usb, sdcard) you can try sbf_flash (google for the link).

Note, when asking for assistance PLEASE explain exactly in graphic detail the extent of your issue. We can then better help you.

it boots into normal lockscreen with no errors and i have tried redownloading sbf, different sbf, windows 7 and xp and rsdlite 4.8/5.4.4/5.5

do i need a specific usb or can i use my old 4gb mp3, i think i tried this once but i could not find out how to boot

[cronecode]

oh, windows xp gets stuck at creating image file with no percentage shown

[#27265]

Lockscreen?, so the device does boot to android? What happens when you unlock the lockscreen? Can you go to settings and do a factory restore from there?

no i doesnt stay on long enough and when i erase data/factory install on stock recovery it seems to work but actually fails. I would also like to mention it is bootloader 30.04 and ive tried flashing .340, .596, and .602. I am having no luck with the linux flash

[cronecode]

rsdlite has no flash error file and here is what happens: does the creation of the file image, starts flashing code groups via interphase ap and it moves to the next code group before it finishes the current one. the only code groups that have no error and it fully flashes are the 39 and 66 ones. Then it flashes code group 3 via interphase bp and then fails

Try to sbf with a different computer

Use a different data cable if you have one

without having your device in front of me to see what is going on.....here is my advice to go along with my above/previous post......

Note: Take precautions when flashing sbf files and double check that they are the correct versions for you device. Once the bootloader for the DX has been updated it cannot be downgraded to the previous version. The oldest compatible version is Froyo (2.2.1) 2.3.230.

• Download 2.3.320 froyo sbf

  Please Login HERE or Register HERE to see this link!

  
  
• Flash the sbf with rsdlite or sbf_flash (linux)
  
• let the phone reboot back to the bootloader (if using rsdlite), if using sbf_flash the phone will not reboot to bootloader, so during the reboot pull the battery.
  
• Enter stock recovery and wipe cache then wipe date/factory restore.
  
• reboot.
  
• let the device boot into android. skip setup.
  
• pull battery
  
• replace battery and boot into the bootloader.
  
• download the 2.3.340 system only sbf

• flash the system sbf using steps #2 and 3 and4.
  
• afterwards let the device boot into android, setup and check for errors

good luck.

Note: you could stay on the froyo 320 sbf if there are no errors. You could then root with z4root, bootstrap recovery using dxbootstrap. then use and AIO (all in1) ROM to update to Gingerbread. Of course the 340 sbf would be safer if doing all of the above mentioned.

and it once again failed

[cronecode]

is there any other program to flash the file besides rsdlite and the linux. or is there a specific version of rsdlite for my droid x because it seems to work fine on my old droid 2

for the droid x use rsdlite 4.8 or later. make sure that you have the latest drivers installed for your windows OS. for linux no drivers are required just plug and go.

as far as an alternative solution to flashing an sbf there is none. your only options are:

• rsdlite (windows)
  
• sbf_flash (linux)
  
• 1kds (linux live distro for flashing)

I have not had any errors when flashing with sbf_flash (i use linux based operating systems) for any motorola device. once you start having errors using rsdlite if the linux solution does not prove effective then your device might be rendered problematic.

if it was me i would download ubuntu live distro. make a bootable cd/dvd/sdcard/usbstick. boot from it. then download sbf_flash and then try flashing the sbf.

[cronecode]

ok, i am trying a program called sbfboot that installs the linux distro. i tried .602 but nothing. i will try .340 sbf tomorrow

[cronecode]

ok i tried the .340 sbf via linux method by 1kids. that and 602 seemed to work but it didnt change anything at all. it seems my phone is also frozen in this current state. it doesnt change from .605 and after turning off the ringer volume it goes back up after reboot. also unable to factory reset from recovery or get enough time to do it through the settings. if there is any definate way to solve my problem, send to someone who can solve it, or trade it for another one without warranty.

Is this the same dx you have for sale in the other thread?
