Motorola :: Bricked New Rival When Downgrading Firmware
Feb 20, 2010
I tried this process on a phone with the same firmware and with RSD Lite 4.5.7 and the monster File basically it was a repair job from Rush 1.29.15 however I have a newer phone with firmware 1.29.22 and I tried to downgrade the phone via the same process and it bricked my phone, it wont even power on, ive replaced the battery and even tried to hold down * + # and power it on, its just a steady black screen, so if their are any suggestions id be happy to hear it, also does anyone know how to actually CREATE a monster file from the new Firmware so others wont have the same issue I did?
I installed the v20 firmware on my phone and found that it was acting up (froze, restarted on its own...sometimes it wouldnt ask for my security code) so i reinstalled the firmware (both times it was through NSU) and now i cant turn my phone on - lol? I tried the hard reset combo didnt work.. took out my battery 30 minutes/whole night and still nothing If i try to turn it out i just feel that vibration..and same when i try to hard reset.. Is Nokia care centre my only option?
Well, after a mere 30 days the rival i got for my son has a broken LCD. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to repair or if it's even worth repairing?
I'm really new to the whole mobile phone hacking thing, but I've tinkered around with just about everything else I own. So far, I've been able to get a look at the filesystem on my motorola rival A455 by using P2k Commander. From just manually exploring, I've found where the pictures, videos, and music are stored. However, my goal is to be able to rip the text messages stored on my phone and save them on my computer. I'm not terribly picky about how they come out formatted, but I would like to be able to read them. So far, I've looked at EMS_message_0.bin and EMS_message_1.bin as possible candidates, but upon making cue files and mounting them to a virtual drive, I got a corrupted data message from Windows and nothing showed up.
In short, does anyone know where text messages are stored on the rival's filesystem? And how can I export these files into a readable format?
Does anybody know what software it will take to backup the Rush OS for this phone, I have used RDS Lite to flash the phone but that will not allow me to create a backup of this software, any help would be very much appreciated, i have searched the net endlessly and cant find what tools are needed, I know its possible because a .shx has been made for Rush ver 1.29.15 and it worked
I hate this! How do I turn it off? Nothing in settings...and I don't want to delete my email account. I just want it to stop loading the email app whenever I get an email.I have to Exit, Confirm (even though the confirm option is OFF), get dropped in the apps screen, and still have to click to get to the 'home' screen.Must be a way to disable automatic email checking?
I have a K1m that I hav had like forever and I thought I Try the Alltel monster to see what I get and if I like ot. Well stupid me used the customer upgrade and it got me a nice peice of phone. I can get the motorola screen whenI try to start it but it flashed on and of.I can get into the bootloader screen and I figures I could do the Alltel monster there but nothing. Makes the image but then fails. Is it dead forever?
I have updated my Defy's software using the official Motorola Software Update software. The update process passed through but at the end the phone not booted.
The error message is the following:
Bootloader

Err:A5,69,35,00,27
Battery OK

I have even tried to reset with: Vol Down + Power + right down tap. But the small droid doesn't come up. Do I have to bring it to the service? I need my phone every day for work..
I updated my Xperia Pro to ICS 3 days back. As a result of that, phone became sluggish and slow. Notification bar icons to the left base dull and small. I want to downgrade back to GingerBread. My warranty has not yet expired.
I was recently advised by a friend to upgrade my Blackberry 9300 Curve 3G from version 5 to version 6. I did this and once the upgrade was complete found that I couldn't stand the new upgrade and couldn't access any of my text messages or anything
I recently upgraded from my Curve to OS6 by accident and I absolutely hate the new software. Im not one for change haha. I have found lots of solutions to this problem only they are all for pc users and I own a mac.

I want to downgrade Skype on my iPhone because the new version incredibly doesn't support checking voicemail. But the ipa file for Skype is mysteriously missing from my backup to iTunes made only a couple months ago. The rest of my iPhone apps are all there. Did iTunes remove it on orders from Microsoft?Â
I recently upgraded my Xperia Neo V OS version from 2.3.4 to 4.0.3. Though the look and feel are fine, after 1 week's use, realized that older version [2.3.4 Gingerbread] is much comfortable.
I've been using android 6.0 for a while now, but I'm not very fond of it, and I'd like to downgrade back to 5.1.1 stock so I can root and install custom Roms.
I've searched and found nothing, so how do I it?
Downloading UK 920F firmware gives me a zip file with 5 different files. Are there any particular order I must flash them with odin?
I've flashed 6.01 beta but I don't like the battery and I'd like to go back to 5.1.1, is it safe to downgrade to 5.1.1 and is it possible? If yes, the procedure is normal like flashing 5.1.1 through recovery or is there any special procedure.
I upgraded the device software on my Curve 8520 today to the 5.0 Bundle 1626 version and I really don't like it. I tried to do the downgrade to my previous software wirelessly but the phone isn't giving me the option...can anyone walk me thru doing the downgrade using my desktop software?
I recently upgraded to marshmallow and so far it's not going well. Mainly with access to my SD card and external HD. With lollipop I usually use ES File Explorer, no problems transferring media to and from SD card or external. With mm it doesn't allow 3rd party app to access any storage and forces you to use OS. How to go back to lollipop?
What is the best way to wipe my device before downgrading the device? Is it possible to downgrade os without wiping?3. Alots of downgrades/upgrades and everything may damage the device some how?Im using windows vista 64bit
i am waiting for the ICS 4.0.4 update for my xperia neo. my SI no. is not in the list yet. but i wanna ask this question. is it possible for me to upgrade to ICS 4.0.4 by first downgrading to the factory default 2.3.1?? the reason im asking this is that ever since i upgraded from 2.3.1 to 2.3.4 i have been getting this O2 operator start-up n shutdown screens on my phone as well as apps like O2 priority moments which i just cant delete. my phone is not network branded in ANY WAY. i dont even use O2 service. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling the 2.3.4 update several times, but the O2 thing never goes off. but wenever i did a factory reset n revert back to the factory default 2.3.1, the phone is fine with no signs of O2. so plz clarify on this. is it ok to downgrade n then upgrade to ICS?
My HD was running perfectly on 2.3.2 and now I keep getting com.google.process.gapps Force Closes.Can I please have 2.3.2 back, this update is rubbish.
Was running 4.0.1, did the www.jailbreakme.com stuff, and then rebooted my iPhone and all I get is the Apple Logo.This did not happen when I rebooted my 3GS, but I don't know what to do now. It was my first time jailbreaking.
after my own iphone 3g was bricked after updating to ios4.02, now my wife's is too. i ended up having to do the update (restore) from another computer. my wife's update has been through her own computer, not any of mine, so no common issues were possible - except that apple has obviously fooked up! this is after a bricked update to 3.2.1 on my ipad which still has Internet issues and wifi intermittent troubles. i'm getting weary with apple.
I've searched and I know this is a common problem.I've seen some solutions, but none have worked for me. So I am basically here to further my knowledge.Like many others, I edited the filedb to unlock the internet settings and when I turned the phone off it came back on looping.
Has anyone found a solution to this that works?The phone connects to every program, but I can't do much with it since it turns off. I've put it in emergency download mode, but a lot of good that does since nothing will upload to it.I can't get QXDM to connect to it. I've gotten everything else to connect.Bitpim, QPST, LG Download, LGUpdate.
I attempted to root the phone and when i updated the rom it just sits at the htc hagic screen.I try to send over the recovery or any other rom thru hboot/fastboot and nothing is working. I have looked everywhere and cannot find any information. Has this happened to someone or does anyone know how to fix this?
iPhone 3GS, 32 GB, nearly full memory (only 0.58 GB free, although there was 3.6 GB of 'other' memory in the bar shown in iTunes).
Started the update from iOS 5.01 to iOS5.1, downloaded to phone OK, phone rebooted, now it's stopped at the point where the silver apple is shown with an empty progress bar.
The phone does show up in iTunes at this point, correct serial number / phone number, but shows the entire memory bar full with the yellow 'Other' memory category.
The phone won't finish booting, can't get to the user screens on the phone.
