Unfortunately, if you're stuck at the Dual Core logo, you're going to have to SBF. You can also use the Fast Boot option.

Could you point me in the direction of the latest SBF file for the Droid 3? I think i can figure it out from there. I've bricked quite a few Droid 1's and 2's but this is my first having to SBF a Droid 3 lol. And what is fast boot exactly?

[SBF] Droid 3 Fastboot files (5.5.959 and 5.6.890) - RootzWiki

check www.[B]psouza[/B]4.com for the fast boot method (works much better on my phone) -- cant direct link you in cause its randomly blocked at my work as a gaming site LOL

got it running again using Flash Verizon DROID 3 OTA 5.6.890 to phone_psouza4 which uses fastboot.... was even able to recover after accidentally hitting the power button on the surge protector that my computer was plugged into halfway through the flash causing it to fail mid-flash the first go round. thanks for the help!

I was right there with you on the d1 stuff. Safestrap utilizes the /preinstall to boot a 2nd system from so that your stock blur on the actual /system isn't ever touched and you will ALWAYS have a custom recovery to boot into because safestrap is flashed to the actual /system partition and is never over written. With this you will never have to worry about a bootloop because you can either boot into your stock system or reflash or restore if you bootloop.

AND on every reboot safestrap will display a splash screen that give you the option to press 'menu' an boot into the recovery, which is my favorite feature. Might take the phone an extra 15 or so seconds to boot up but its nice to see that the recovery is working like its supposed to.
