People, my phone has low battery and won't allow me to use bootloader, I failed in installing the sdf file (or whatever) on my droid x...What am I supposed to do???
Don't root your phone if you have no idea what you are doing. I'm getting so tired of these threads.
You need to clear data/factory reset from recovery.
1. The flashing didn't work
2. Don't have enough power for the usb bootloader to actually allow the data to transfer
if factory reset does not work.
put it in bootloader mode and flash the sbf.
with power off
hold volume down + camera + power for 3 seconds then let go.
you will be in bootloader mode.
plug in to usb open rsd lite and flash the sbf.
Have SBF'd many times and never had the bootloader loop on me, flashed it 3 times no luck. Never thought of the factory reset. Thx not one SBF thread I found had that info. Live and learn.
yeah even the sbf does not clear data. so it is a good idea after doing and sbf that you wipe data and cache.
Everyone:
If you try to flash the SBF to your phone with a low battery and your battery dies in the process, the phone will NEVER AGAIN CHARGE YOUR BATTERY.
Not for a few minutes, not for a few hours, not overnight, not out of the wall, not out of a USB port, not with green eggs and ham, no it will not Sam I Am.
You must get a fresh battery, charge your battery in another phone or in a wall charger, or do the aforementioned USB stripping trick to force the battery to charge.
i'm gonna throw a big BS on this statement. I flashed the sbf on my friends X and mid process the phone died. all we had to do was plug the phone in the wall for about an hour and it charged up perfectly fine. Then we proceeded to flash the sbf again with no issue
