I tried to patch my phone with CM9-ICS-MR0-111207-jordan-KERNEL-2.3.4-Quarx build and when I rebooted I get this

bootloader
09.10
err:A5,70,00,00,23
battery ok
ok to program
connect USB
data cable

Now I have googled this and found many options.

So far I have tried these.

droidforums.net/forum/droid-x-hacks/68222-unbricking-your-droid-x.html

When I do this I get a error (in linux ATM so cant tell you the name will get it ASAP) and I have got rsd lite 5.7 and the latest drivers from the motorola site. I have tried many roms and placed it in C:, My documents, in the RSD folder, on the desktop, in the download folder. Always open the program in admin.

Also this:
droidxforums.com/forum/droid-x-sbf/23638-linux-solution-your-windows-rsd-lite-problems.html

I have tried many of there ISO images and all boot and say they start to do something, then it says failed! rebooting and then it reboots and says to remove battery and go into these option (which I cant as it will only boot on the boot loader screen I tried to get into recovery and no luck) so it was a fail also.

I hope there is a solution as this is a pain, I may of put a to high rom on and cant revert back??

I am sick of googling and alot of the links come back to this site and have tried many but all seem to be repetitive and what I have tried.

Thanks in advance

Ok Fixed this site is the best!!! All I done was read the all in one beginners guide and it linked to a rom for the defy plus (all the other defy plus ones I found where folders not RSD files like this one)

So loaded the file into rsd lite and sure enough it went threw.

YAY! I cant believe I recovered my phone! I knew it was something but to find the right image was the trick I guess.

I did install the defy + CM9 image but I am not sure what happened there.


Thanks to all (more so walter79 for the image)

Hope this helps some one out in the future

Ok I got the phone to work with the image posted in the defy + section but when I boot I get no service.

I have tried to do a factory reset and had to input all the accounts again but that did not help.

what can I do?

Get the baseband switcher app :) It changes the network related files to the ones correct for your country/network! You need to set it manually, though, so, it may take a couple of tries to figure out which one is the best choice :)

Thank you so much I cant belive I was just about to give up and get a new phone now I have a working phone with 2.3.6 and rooted now I got the network to work again :). Super happy, now to see what I was missing out on since I have been pulling my hair out the last few days thinking I got a bricked phone.
