I have finally done it.. I bricked my phone

[furbearingmammal]

That's right, that's the standard "am I bricked" test and let me know what was going on.

You could try to do a factory reset from the recovery. That should allow you to reboot your phone normally, but you'll have to set your phone back up again. I don't know what it would do to the root job on a D2, however, so you might have to re-root as well. Unfortunately that's all I can really suggest at the moment. If you can wait till tomorrow I'll try to escalate this so another member, Rescue Squad or a Mod more familiar with the process on the D2 can help you out. However, what I'd suggest you do in that case is pull the battery again so it doesn't run down.

If you want to do the factory reset and you don't lose root then you'll be able to reinstall the bootstrap app and try again.

EDIT:

The SBF listed above would completely reset your phone and you WILL lose root, but you MAY have to do it anyway.

Ah, Star Wars! Good choice.

ok, im willing to do the resset, i just need to know how to get past this lill guy and the white triangle.

SDIT: I have had to reset my phone so many times I am use to it. so this is nothing new.

 

[MischiefsMommy]

i thought i couldnt do the sbf with the droid 2...

 

[furbearingmammal]

The method for the D1 is you "Press the volume up and camera button at the same time." I think it might be the same for the D2.

 

[furbearingmammal]

You'd need a D2 SBF to flash, that's all. Motorola system images are all stored as SBF files, so you'd just need the right one for your phone.

 

[MischiefsMommy]

no... that is not working...

Droid 2: Hard Reset

3. Press the Search key on the keyboard (magnifying glass).
4. Use the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons on the side of the phone to select the Wipe data factory reset option. Use the Camera key to confirm it.
5. Tap wipe data/factory reset then tap OK.
6. Highlight reboot system now is highlighted then tap OK.

ok it is going thuir the hard reset ad it is done, what do i do now please

 

[furbearingmammal]

Once it's finished and you've rebooted you'll have to set the phone back up and see where you're at. Probably bone-stock, possibly with SU access.

 

[MischiefsMommy]

no im not at that point :icon_eek:... i am at the M im stuck again...

 

[furbearingmammal]

Okay. This happens with bootstrap, unfortunately. Time to start thinking SBF, I believe. That link Jeebz88 provided should prove very helpful at this point.

 

[MischiefsMommy]

but how can I do that if I cant even get past the M

 

[pc747]

OK I had this happen yesterday. Do you have bootstrap recovery (aka clockwork). If do a battery pull and hold x while you turn it back on. When you see the triangle click your search button on your keyboard. You need to keep doing that until you get clockwork recovery. From there you can flash a nandroid backup.

 

[MischiefsMommy]

ok but i was told to do a factory rest by the last mod so that is what I did.... all my info is gone....

 

[furbearingmammal]

MM, you're in good hands with PC here. I'm heading to bed because I need to be up first thing in the morning.

Good luck!
