So, I rebooted my phone yesterday. When it restarted it came up to the "touch the android to begin" screen. Kind of wierd. I had been running cm7 for the last few months. After I went through and set everything up, I tried to reinstall a few of my apps. But, it wouldn't let me install anything. It kept saying that there wasn't enough memory. I tried rebooting. It was right back to the set up screen. I thought, "no big deal. I'll just sbf back to stock and start over"

This is where the soft bricking started. I tried to SBF back to 2.3.4. It failed. Although, it will try to boot. It's currently boot looping the stock animation.

RSD will make it to the point where it tries to reboot to BP pass through. It'll get to around 9%. Then, it fails and gives this error.

"failed flashing process. failed flashing process. interface ap-os:failed flashing subscriber unit. device api error: 0xe0020093 Address: 0x800120 Command: ADDR (0xE0222093): phone connected"

It will boot rsd. But, it will fail. I also tried wiping data. But, it just hangs there.

Is there a way to fix this? Or, is it completely screwed?

The memory err makes me think you have a bad dx2.
Also rsd failing seems to confirm this. Rsd always works!

Sorry about the confusion. My wording sucked on that one.

RSDlite continues to fail.

I'll have to try ezsbf. Hopefully it will work.

Also, I forgot to add to the OP, it will also hang when trying to wipe data or cache in stock recovery.

Yep. It's toast.... ezSBF made it through. Then, It hung at wiping data.

Now, I get several errors in stock recovery. All of which start with, "E: Can't mount /recovery/..."

On a better note, I took it back to verizon. I'm now the proud owner of a Galaxy Nexus. Honestly, I think it has more problems than the X2. The signal strength is just trash... I think it's going back tomorrow.

Any suggestions on what to swap it for? Razr Maxx or rezound??

You know I have been waiting for someone to confirm what I thought was true about these htc & sami phones- they suck as phones. Not just you but others won't admit it even. Lol.

I think you're right. The razr may be the way to go. Although, I haven't read much about any of the new htc phones. I loved my old hero. That thing was a tank! A mile out on lake erie... No problem. Not Roaming. No mysterious $700 phone bill. It just worked. I was really hoping the same would be true of the rezound.

As far as the Galaxy Nexus is concerned, it's like dating a supermodel with brain damage... Sure, she's sexy, and she'll let you do anything you want to her. But, taking her out of the house is an embarrassment. She's utterly useless....

Wow the reception is that bad? I wouldve thought it would at least be decent and good at the basics (speaker phone, reg calls etc)

Quick update in my experience, so far, with the gnex.

After flashing different radio combinations, I'm able to stay connected to the network. With speeds comparable to my x2, or better.
