Now if it says unlocked, you can go back to this post from earlier

flash that recovery so you have the latest recovery.

Reboot the phone while holding the Vol down button until you see it say Fastboot.
Hit Volume down a few times until it says Android Recovery and then press Volume Up button to enter the Android recovery which should now be Clockworkmod recovery.

Then simply download a rom from that other website I linked you to with folders full of files.

Jump back into that same folder I sent you, the zip file with fastboot and moto-fast and adb in it. Run the command.bat to get the command prompt to show up but this time you're going to use the ADB interface instead of fastboot.

Make sure your downloaded rom is also in the same folder as fastboot\adb\moto-fastboot. This way when you run adb in command prompt, you can push(copy) files on to your phone, install directly onto phone, you can also pull files from your phone.

So... after all the files have been downloaded and in place. in command prompt type "adb devices" to make sure you have connectivity with your phone via the adb interface. If that checks out, then you can issue this command

adb push "source file" "destination file"

so let's say you downloaded my rom called Androbreadcrumbs. The code would be "adb push androbreadcrumbs.zip /sdcard/androbreadcrumbs.zip"

Remember you can type out a few letters of the file names in command prompt and hit the TAB button for it to fill in the rest of the closest matching word in the directory you're in. Thats why its best to drop the rom zip file into the same file you're running ADB from so you can just simply do the "adb push romname.zip /sdcard/romname.zip" instead of looking for the location of where it would normall download in windows and have it look like "adb push c:\users\androiddep\downloads\someromname.zip /sdcard/someromname.zip" <--- that could get confusing in command prompt to locate with limited window display area to view. Try to follow those steps above, you should be good. Now that you got unlocked bootloader and can load clockworkmod recovery, you will be able to flash through the recovery with any name .zip file and not only have the option to flash update.zip files.

NO MORE SBF my friend, leave them things alone.

Hi,
No Luck. It stops at M LOGO, with the unlocked on top left. Is it may be the OS the problem. Do i need to flash a different sbf file and then try all this again?
one question, when i flash a custom ROM is it installing the android OS or just the skin and function or both?

thank you
Pgeorge

If it says "unlocked", you are most likely done with RSD and .sbf files, so it would probably be best if you forgot that even exists, for your own safety.
Next step would be installing the custom recovery. You do that via fastboot. Go through other topics/tutorials, there are plenty available. Personally I recommend the RomRacer's CWS-based recovery.

I ran into a similar situation myself last night very much like yours. I have been building on a CM7 base and have been using CM for a while now. I decided to start a new project and build a de-blurred rom to regain some of the motorola blur features and play around with the webtop again since it's not native to CM. So I tried flashing a fruit cake made by samcripp of android 2.3.6 but it was version 4.5.140 and worked pretty well. It was a simple flash through recovery and everything is packed into simple system.img and boot.img which is easy to flash.

The latest version though from what I saw after looking at my SBF file was 4.5.141. So instead of flashing an SBF file through RSD which I hope you can see now is not the best option . I split the SBF down into pieces to just the necessary files and then de-dex them and zip-align them. After the first few tries of doing so, I got the same issue where the phone would boot to the dual-core screen and get stuck and not do anything.

After a little debugging and troubleshooting, I managed to put together all the files, deo-dex the apps & framework folders, zipalign them and write up a quick updater script to install everything properly.

So I essentially took the SBF file and converted it to just a regular CWM flashable zip file and am now on stock blurred, rooted with unlocked bootloader gingerbread 2.3.6.. I'm uploading it to my 4shared account now and can provide a link if you like. Flash this zip file through recovery and you should be all good. Everything in this file was taken out of an SBF file, simply to avoid dealing with SBF and RSD.

you got it, i just retested the entire installation of the zip file through recovery to make sure everything worked correctly, i threw in a few apps to manage the HDMI connection without using a dock and manage the resolution of the screen output over HDMI and rom toolbox so its easier to further tweak the rom however you like once you boot into it.

Everything installed perfectly, its been a while since I've used a blur based rom, starting to like all the nice features from motorola that come natively in the rom. But yeah, i'll post you the link in a couple of minutes, almost done uploading to 4shared

Here's the link. This is android 2.3.6 - 4.5.141 deodexed, rooted, zipaligned. I extracted this from the original "1FF-olympus-user-2.3.6-4.5.141-111212-release-keys-signed-ATT-US-GAS_NA_OLPSGBATTSPE_P012.sbf" file and converted the necessary files, it does not include webtop. So if you didn't have webtop, then no big deal, you can install it separately.

Download the file, put it into the same folder you have ADB\fastboot in and run that other file i gave you called command.bat so you can just jump into command prompt
then just type "adb push olympusSIGNED.zip /sdcard/olympusSIGNED.zip" and let it copy it over to your sdcard, remember that you're doing this ALL while you're in recovery.

so boot the phone and go straight into recovery, you don't need fastboot anymore, everything will be done from the recovery menu, so once you boot up recovery, then do the above commands through ADB, this way after it copies the file over, you're already in recovery and can just choose Install ZIP from Sdcard to locate the file and install it through recovery, after it's done, you should be back to normal with the latest updated version of android

cant i just copy the file to a SD card and install it from recovery?

 

[android-DEP]

how are you going to copy it if you cant boot into the system to copy it?

basically the idea is exactly as you said, just copy it to sd card and flash it through recovery... thats the only thing you gotta accomplish, reason its not as easy as it sounds is because without being able to boot into the system and mount the sdcard to copy files to, only other way to do it is through ADB in recovery where you can copy files to and from the phone. Or you can even remove the sdcard, put it inside an adaptor or another device that can read it and write to it, then just copy the zip file anywhere on the sdcard, then put the sdcard back into your phone, boot into recovery and install zip from sdcard

P.S. Also now that you are unlocked, you can go back to the post where i linked you a recovery.img file which you can flash through fastboot with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img, and that recovery enables you to use the touch screen in recovery so you dont have to be stuck with only pressing the volume buttons and power button anymore. It makes it so much easier to use recovery with the normal touch screen.

 

[kinggeorge3287]

how are you going to copy it if you cant boot into the system to copy it?

i have the micro SD card, take it out of the phone, copy the file and put it back in the phone.
go to android recovery install from SD card.

 

[android-DEP]

that works too, long as you can make the phone see the zip file and install it...

once everything boots up succesfully, make sure to go back into recovery and create yourself a backup.... in the IT world we call these Gold_Fresh backups because you know everything is freshly installed, clean and working so incase of anything in the future, you can always revert exactly back to the perfect condition, thats why those backups are crucial to make and really are golden to have

It happens if there is somthing wrong when you install a rom
try to find another rom and flash it if you unlocked the bootloader
or flash ATT 4.5.91 Rom via RSD Lite ONLY IF YOU HAVE LOCKED BOOTLOADER

i was installing a rom. i have an unlocked bootloader . what should i do

Use rdslite and flash original rom then start phone if its stuck on M logo pull out battery reconnect it and boot to recovery clear data/cache and restart the phone leave it for few minutes (7-8 min) it should start normally.
