You will have to use RSD and fxz you phone back to stock. I was in you situation once tried using the bootstrap built for the razor. As long as you can access fast boot mode your alright. Here's the link where you can find the file you need. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=132810
Get the. 902 fastboot file.

You might have bad partitions. That might be pretty hard to fix with only rsd light you might have to make your own fxz flashable zip to repartition your phone. That would take some good coding skills.

goto radio shack and buy one of those chargers that works for most batteries like phones and cameras or you can try the usb cable hack.
once charged you will need to FXZ through RSDLite.

There is a program that SamuraiHL has posted called House of Bionic. It's on the droidforums web site and you should be able to search for it there. Either that or google House of Bionic. It should bring up the thread where you can download this program. It's definitely a lifesaver. I would post the link myself but I haven't posted here enough yet to do that.

Make sure you download the latest drivers and the right rsd to be used. Link to find both http://www.droidhive.com/forums/ind...nks-in-op-updated-dailyformerly-whats-in-dev/
The reason for it error in out is because the phone doesn't have enough juice to do the fxz process. Make sure that battery has over 50% charge before attempting or do the usb hack with a cord that you will no longer be using.

I had this same problem. I used my warranty and got a new bionic. I blame Verizon and Motorola for not giving us what we want with an unlocked bootloader. Personally, I feel they should support the rooting community and be able to reinstall the operating system when we mess up, similar to how we can reinstall windows on a computer. They can even charge $50 for the service and be able to do it in-store from a computer. Not only could they make more money, they wouldn't have to replace as many devices.

You blame Verizon because you voided the warranty and ****ed up your own phone? Blame yourself for buying a phone that was known to have a locked bootloader to begin with.

I would have to say that this is the reason there will most likely never be an unlocked phone sold again for VZW. By doing this you are making everyone look bad! You break, void warranty, then you should have to buy another one. If you don't like my statement don't try something you apparently have no knowledge to do.

The only hope you have is early usb enumeration, adb being enabled, and then hoping that psneuter still works. If you can escalate to root, you should be able to push the deodex files from the stock Bell firmware and recover the device.
Also, this isn't a development question. Can we get moved to the right section?

I was gonna read the instructions... but then I got high...
When it's trying to boot, with a USB cable connected, do you have ADB access? If not, I think your only hope would be to wait for a Bell Atrix SBF file, or return it to the store for exchange. Play dumb, maybe they will believe that you don't know how it happened...

A Bell service center would be able to do it for sure, but probably for a fee. If you don't have the option to exchange it, and you have to send it away they might charge to re-flash it.
If you go in there, see if they will give you a copy of the 0.37 Bell SBF file.

i KNOW that 1.26 was leaked. However, 1.52 was released OTA, i'm not sure if the sbf was then released or if someone just got their hands on it and leaked it
You can also flash the telstra sbf. I've done that and it works (eventually a bell sbf will come out and you'll be able to flash that one).
Did you do a nandroid backup first?
I just need to figure out to do a nand backup and i will flash the crap out of the telstra sbf!!!

yes, doing that nand backup is a very good idea (then backing it up on to your PC's HD) before flashing the sbf.
in the case of an actual Bell sbf coming out eventually (god knows when, stupid bell) restoring the nandroid may help if anyone runs into problems with passing any system checks (can't really tell how intense they'll be at this point, and what might make them fail)
to make the nandroid backup just boot into tenfar's, choose "backup/restore" and nand backup should be one of the options.

ok cool. So then at this point in time ( without the bell sbf ) If i ran a nand backup with tenfar's, and then tried to flash the Telstra SBF and then something went wrong, i could just revert back with the nand backup?
Sorry, just learning about the after-market with motorola, Atrix being my first moto phone.
Was with HTC Hero before and things are a bit different.

The biggest thing that can go wrong with the sbf is that it doesn't work, other than that if there's hardware issues and you have to return the phone, I'm not exactly sure how deep the nand restore works. whether it'll change firmware version on your device or not (maybe someone who has done this themselves could chime in here to clarify)

I took it out until Hashcode brings it out for Droid 4. I've been corresponding with him and if the maker of Safestrap tells you it isn't safe to use on Droid 4 yet then you usually should listen.
All up to your risk though.
I made a nandroid using safestrap, or thought i did. I made my backup so i figured i would try that arctic rom so i followed the directions step by step. After i wiped cache and factory reset i went install from sd and the arctic rom that i know i put on it was not there. So i figured i would flash back to the backup i just made and try the process of putting the arctic on my sd. Some how i ended up bricking my phone and am now stuck in bootloader and my device is looked. Have you or anyone else made an sbf, oneclick recovery or a way to unbrick my D4?

Not yet. There is a reason we have warnings on these...
I hope we get fastboot yet. You cannot just "make them" they have to be leaked.
FYI Motorola does Fastboot files, not SBF now.

You would be Man of the Year if you did that. You mean you bootstrapped it, right?
Leaked means they have to trickle out from Motorola/Verizon somehow.. either on purpose or by "accident" somebody on the inside putting them out there for use by our wonderful devs.
As for SBF vs fasboot, i dont know exactly the difference but think of them as different types of "recovery" that can be used to fully restore your phone to factory condition.

Yes, i mean bootstrapped and you mean woman of the year, right? My bf said the difference between the two is SBF your makinga mirror image of everything and doing a complete system dump and fastboot is just cutting the power for a split sec.

No, i dont. Im new to root, just rooted in nov. If you give me something thst would fix it that would be awesome.
Unfortunately, the fix isn't exactly a simple one.
It comes in 3 parts (assuming you're on Windows):
1. You'll need to download and install RSD Lite which is what is used to flash the fastboot restore files from Motorola:
http://dev-host.org/ug07spima1mq/RSDLite5.5.rar
2. Download and install the Motorola USB drivers to recognize your phone in fastboot mode:
http://www.mediafire.com/?z5qpc8v3xza25e6
3. I'm setting up a mini WEBTOP fastboot restore file based on the latest RAZR fastboot files (I say small.. but it's still quite a large download). The version is slightly off from the D4's but it might be close enough, and I think it's worth a shot:
[ Getting this file setup will take me about an hour, but you can get steps 1 and 2 ready for now ]
ALSO KEEP THE PHONE POWERED OFF FOR NOW TO SAVE BATTERY. FASTBOOT WILL NOT PROGRAM WITH A LOW BATTERY.

You never mentioned if you installed the newest drivers. Drivers will help RSD Lite see your phone when you plug it in.

Sorry for the misunderstanding. I did install the latest drivers and my phone is not recognized by any fastboot program However I can command it manually. So I did so only thing is I hve restored to 886 and no radio. I tried mot-fastboot flash radio radio.img but i still dont have a radio. If I had a radio zip that would help maybe... Or if my stupid phone would just flash via rsd that would be great but doesnt look like that will happen. Thanks again
Edit: My new core i5 lenovo was the issue. My old Laptop fixed it like a charm. Thanks to all you faithful bionic owners lol. Seriously though why does the best network get such lack of development on its phones... Sad, Even the Droid Charge was left with no love...

They worked for me and actually I'm back to running Eclipse latest 904 build updated a few days ago after running the 902 rebuilds referenced previously and also figuring out my main problem with Motorola's FastBoot Recovery was USB cable and port related. I simply had to use a new cable and USB port on the back on my computer to finally get FastBoot recovery to work.
Either way, it saved my Bionic and I'm now running Eclipse 904 (build 4 - 04/30/12) - h t t p://eclipserom.com/vforum/showthread.php?1612-ROM-Eclipse-Bionic-Test-Build-05-5-1-12 without problems. Sorli...
edit, already solved
I'm thinking I've burned up some usb ports with my phones over the years...I only plug it into a powered hub now
okay so im bricked.. i wiped the stock rom slot in safestrap 3.. no biggie right,, just flash a few things and ur good to go right... wrong... i cant charge the phone.. i tryed the hacked magiver method.. no dice.. now im stuck,,, i tryed going to verizon but they wont do nething cus its a rooted phone and they are [insert favorite cus word here].. so now what do i do.. i dont know neone with a droid 3 nor do i know anyone that has a battery for this phone.. help please
sbf
figure out which ota your droid was on and use the appropriate sbf
as far as charging power off your phone then plug it in..it should go to a battery icon and show charging
i must have did something cus it dont even show the battery icon... and ive tryed to dl the one click file from ur thread but windows deletes it after it downloads..maybe if i take my antivirus off.. still doesnt solve the batery issuse

I have this external charger from Motorola. It's worth it, to me; lets me have a charged battery with the phone still being used off the charger.

If you are Amazon Prime you can get it tomorrow for $4 extra. Amazon I think still has a Prime trial membership...

If you were on .906 my 1click .exe will sbf you
If you were on .890 my 1 click will still sbf you but you will get stuck at bootlogo
But don't worry its an easy fix
I included a link to the official .906 ota in my thread
All you have to do is download it to your computer
Use your computer to move the downloaded file to your external sdcard
Boot your phone into stock recovery and install the update
Then you will be good to go and on the official .96 ota
There are instructions in my thread as well
Hope this all works out for ya as I'm sure it will!

Hash said he started on the Android source code. I like the Minimoto ROM personally. I overclocked my GPU and did the scrolling cache hack to framework.jar and it runs good.

thanks.. ill check it out.. what works and what doesnt work.. whats it based off of gb or ics... and anyone know the status of jb roms and how stable are they
It is just GB but it fully works. JB can run with the occasional reboot and the camera doesn't work. It is decently stable actually for as alpha as it is.

Is there any way to restore stock recovery without using a computer?
I bought a Verizon Moto X developer edition used and the guy has TWRP on it. So now I can't update to 4.4 with that on here.
I don't care if I lose all data in the process.
I'm just having a ridiculously hard time getting anything to recognize my phone on windows 8.1 and I don't have a ton of time in the first place.
I tried a factory reset from twrp but twrp didn't go away.
I DO have an old laptop with... xp on it if anyone has a step by step guide that works 100% they could point me to?
came from galaxy nexus btw.

My phone was recognized by windows 8.1 and 7. Sounds like you have an issue with your drivers if its not recognizing the phone.

you should use the last version of fastboot (or mfastboot), and you can set fastboot.exe to run in win7 compatibility mode

Think you could link me to the best directions for this phone? I'm reading a lot of different threads and must be way over my head. I do remember it being a hassle with my droid x all those years ago

These directions for returning to stock using RSD Lite look pretty good, and include a video:

OK so I've gotten adb working but can't get RSD lite to recognize my device. Can I just use ADB?
I'm so paranoid of bricking my new device that I fought to activate for two weeks. God damn verizon.
edit to add:
I think RDSlite is the way to go. any commonly known way to get it to find my device?
So i use: adb reboot bootloader
from there if I do: adb devices
it comes up blank like there's nothing attatched.
any ideas?
if there's a donate feature, I'll gladly donate a couple beers to anyone that can help me get this working in the next half hour...
It's not much but...
So I got everything working.... I think. RSD Lite seemed to work fine. Letting everything settle in before attempting the 4.4 update...
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
I thought a dev edition would have been a bit more... nexus-ey behind the scenes. Oh well, great device so far...

Glad you got it figured out, sorry I kind of left you hanging, I got busy at work.
I spent the last two weeks or so bricked and its definitely fun. Be glad you have the Dev edition. My MAXX is not, so I had to wait for the FXZ file to be released, couldn't flash anything else. Not getting the Dev edition was a huge mistake.
