HELP! Might have bricked my Droid X

[rathzil]

Okay, so I held off on jumping on the leaked 2.2 bandwagon, and then when a new version got leaked, I said what the hell, and got kous bootstrap and went into recovery and installed it and... got stuck in a bootloop (I can't get past the M logo... not even to the droid eye).

So, here is what I have tried (I have spent all night reading various methods and trying to troubleshoot).

I've gone into recovery mode and done a factory wipe (both data and cache)

I've gotten The_Gift and installed the drivers (I'm running windows XP 32 bit SP 3, .net framework 3.5, and used the 32 bit drivers) and installed RSD lite 4.7 and copied the flash.ini file over and overwrote the one in the RSD directory.

When I turn on my droid X and put it into the bootloader 29.01 (camera button, vol down, and power buttons) and my DX doesn't show up.

I have tried using the drivers that come with the_gift. I have tried using the newest drivers. I have tried using 4.6 instead of 4.7. I have tried using 4.6 with the 4.7 patch. I have tried different USB ports, I have tried using it on my roommates 32 bit vista laptop (using 4.7 and the drivers that come in the_gift). On the vista computer, I've done the shift+right click thing to run it as an administrator.

I have rebooted my phone numerous times, rebooted my entire PC still no changes. Still can't get it to show up in RSD.

Any suggestions? I've scoured countless forums and everyone else seems to have simply been fixed with one of those small fixes, but none of them have done it for me. Does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks

have you done file>device id and changing that option?

 

[rathzil]

Ah, yes I have also done that. I've done so many things I was wondering what I would forget to mention trying.

 

[Abe21599]

ive also seem sometimes that the phone wont show up but it will still flash. load the sbf and connect the phone and try to press start. does it seem to do anything?

 

[rathzil]

I've tried just clicking start after loading up the .sbf file too, that doesn't do anything.

 

[Abe21599]

what does the bootloader screen say? youve pretty much gone thru all the fixes i have when a phone isnt recognized..

 

[rathzil]

Bootloader 29.01


Battery OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB


Or, when unplugged the last two lines are
Connect USB
Data Cable

I know some of that is prolly obvious but I'm including EVERYTHING.

 

[Abe21599]

try maybe restarting the computer or using a different usb port?

 

[rathzil]

Yeah, already tried both of those.

 

[Abe21599]

try it without the patch?

 

[rathzil]

Tried that too, got real excited when I ran into that suggestion and had missed it the first round, but fixing it didn't help.

 

[Sydman]

When you have your phone plugged in what mode is it on? Pc mode? You have usb debugging on right?

 

[Sydman]

If you have it on Pc mode and have debugging on and it's still not seeing it, try putting your phone on pc media sync mode.

 

[rathzil]

The last time my phone was booted up it was on PC mode with debugging on, but my entire problem is that I can't boot up, so I can't change things like PC mode.

 

[Sydman]

Man, if you could get in to change that to Pc media mode I bet that would fix it for you. Did you have USB debugging on when you first installed drivers for the phone?
