[Q] Bricked friend's Droid 3 (XT860)

Artivur · Dec 28, 2013

Hey fellas, i'm desperate cos i've bricked my friend's droid 3 (XT860) while trying to flash cyanogen mod 10.1 to it.
I do not remember which version it was but i'm almost sure it was a 5.2.420 - Android 2.3.5.

I rooted the phone and flashed clockworkmod recovery using Rom Manager, wiped both data and cache, installed cyanogenmod 10.1 and gapps, and wiped data and cache again. After rebooting, the phone was stucked on the 'Dual Core' logo. I can go into recovery but i no longer have clockworkmod installed nor can i try to reinstall the ROM again.

After trying some stock flashing and getting a boot failure error message, im now with this AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Boot Failure) Screen.

Could anyone please help me? It's my friend phone!

I'm sorry about my english.

Thank you for your time!

~~You can restore/unbrick it to the stock ROM, which will allow you to start over from a clean slate.~~ I suggest using Safestrap instead of CWM/Rom Manager.

I wouldn't use that on a XT860

Unhelpful response is unhelpful. Though you have some good info in your signature:

Looks like you want to flash to the first ROM here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=21

Do you have a better idea? Is the XT862 ROM going to brick his already bricked phone? Or give him a chance to boot it, and start with a somewhat working system (even if the radio etc. might not work correctly)... I don't claim to be a smart phone guru, but your response isn't very helpful.
