Bricked, stuck at M logo. Mac.

[CalebLoop]

Okay, so somebody wanted to trade phones with me, but had asked that i restore to the stock rom, I was running Fission rom 2.5.7. I tried to restore back to stock via clockwork recovery, now im stuck in a bootloop.
Ive tried holding down X to get to the stock, and using "wipe data/factory reset" but it shows me the error " E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command"
Ive seen guides for getting out of this, but they were all for windows based platforms, and I only have Macs in my house. Im very short on time to get this fixed, as the trade is to happen tomorrow morning.
Is there ANY way I can get back to stock Droid2 rom?
I dont care about losing root or anything, it would actually be preferred if i did.
please help

you have some time and a spare cd-r or cd-rw disc lying around?

 

[CalebLoop]

If you are suggesting Boot Camping windows, I dont have that kind of time, As my internet is down at the moment, and im tethering from my other Droid.
But if that is not what you were suggesting, I have some time, but No disc's, I can however use my other droid as an external storage device.

 

[OneTenderRebel]

No, what I am going to suggest would require a connection and a cd. I wrote up a tutorial from the Droid 1 and how to flash sbf files through a mac. But it requires installing ubuntu through a virtual machine. Everything is free though, so you don't have to pay anything for the virtual machine. The tutorial was for the droid 1 but with the proper sbf files it will work for any of the moto phones that would require an sbf flash at some point.

If it is a virtual machine, couldn't i just install from a mounted disk image?

Droid 2 Global SBF File (2.4.29) Full and RSDLite

follow the instructions in the first 2 posts, you will be back to OEM unrooted device ....

 

[OneTenderRebel]

yeah you probably could, but the ubuntu file is almost 700mb's, if you are tethering from a 3g connection that will take forever to download.

he has a Mac, can't run rsdlite through a mac.

 

[CalebLoop]

So theres nothing I can do? I have the program "crossover" to run windows programs on the mac, But I'm not sure how well it works, as I've only used it one time.

 

[OneTenderRebel]

not sure about crossover but I have successfully flashed an sbf through a windows virtual machine and a ubuntu virtual machine so it could work. Do you have a droid 2 or droid 2 global?

 

[CalebLoop]

I have the original Droid 2, Back when I had the original droid, I could just put an Update.zip onto my sd card, and apply it via recovery mode, or whatever its called.

Is that no longer the case with the droid 2?

 

[OneTenderRebel]

no and unfortunately it's no longer the case with the droid 1 either.

 

[OneTenderRebel]

so you can't boot into recovery at all?

 

[CalebLoop]

To boot into recovery, thats just when I Hold down X while booting right?

 

[OneTenderRebel]

wait, you can boot into recovery?
