OTA 2.2 possibly bricked my droid

[Paintfumes]

Got the 2.2 ota update @ noon today hit install phone rebooted then got stuck on M logo. Went into recovery did a wipe and reset then tried update zip. That didn't work, it says "signature verification failed installation aborted"

Took phone to local vzw store they said the problem is with the bootloader and they are sending me a new phone from the warehouse because my local stores are out of stock.

But I am currently stuck without a phone or access to my contacts. The only other thing I can get to is power on plus d-pad up and it says "bootloader 2c.7c, battery ok, ok to program, connect usb data cable.

Phone was rooted a long time ago but I went back to stock right before the 2.1 update came. If someone has an idea your help would be greatly appreciated, you don't realize how much you rely on your phone until you cant use it:icon_eek:

Thanks in advance.

You can't connect to RSDLite and reflash SPRecovery???

If you can load up the bootloader (power + d-pad up) then you can flash the original 2.01 SBF and start over.

How do I go about doing this? When I get to that screen it doesn't seem to respond to any buttons.

MbK: What is RSDLite? I really haven't been doing any research on the forums since I went back to stock a long time ago.

Thanks

Oh you were stock...
Then let them just send you a new one... but I remeber that there is a way to do a factory reset from their bootloader... let me see if I can find the info

Excuse me folks. OP is not rooted. RSD lite and SPRecovery will not help.

Thanks. I am going to accept the new one But it wont be here for atleast 2 days so I figured I would give fixing it a go.

I remembering seeing this when my Droid's volume button broke and I had to return my Droid to stock without root in order to send it back to VZW.... but after returning it to 2.01, it wouldn't OTA back to 2.1, and the only other way was to use this method to install that OTA manually..if I remember right... anyways, this should reset everything and then allow you to boot and resync with your GMail..

RSDLite flashes even on non-rooted devices... K Thnx

Exactly how long did you wait at the M logo?? It does take a while when you first reboot after the update. I waited 5 minutes at the M logo before it went.

But that leaves his Droid with SPRecovery, no?... and then he'd be sending it back to VZW that way... no?

 

[Paintfumes]

I have done the hard reset a couple of times already and it hasn't worked. I am downloading the files to try RSDLite. Ill post up after I try that.

Thanks

Ps: I waited over an hour on the M logo the first time.

No. The 2.01 SBF is the STOCK 2.01, no root, with STOCK recovery, and STOCK bootloader...

Flashing this SBF will put his phone exactly how it was as if he bought bought it in November 2009...

Then RSDLite to flash seems to be your way to access your phone for the next two days.... as long as RSDLite can see your Droid that is... good luck
