Root 2.3.340 Full SBF Will NOT...

[apavolka]

work on my phone at all. I run it until it fails and then run the System Only SBF and it works great. Just used this method to come down from GB to get GB root. My phone hates full SBFs haha.

I wouldn't think it would be your phone.. that's oddd. I know it may not fix it but did you try starting from scratch like redownload rsdlite and such?

 

[dmiller2007]

have you tried flashing from a linux system?

Yes I did all of that and still no go. Md5 is the same. I dont know what else it could be

have you tried flashing from a linux system?

No unfortunately my only linux system is down right now.

 

[Aggie12]

man I don't even know then. You can't get that linux machine back up and running?

Nope. If you want I'll send it to you jkjk. I was about to do that with my phone before I found out how to sbf the way I figured out. I screwed up the, get this, booyloader on my pc. It angers me as I have 40gb of music and done movies on my hdd.

 

[dmiller2007]

I'm completely new to the pc thing (just did my first build) and using linux. But could you get into your bios and set to boot from a cd? I'm not sure how the bootloader on a computer works. Like if its in the OS or is part of the bios. If its part of the bios then isn't there a way to manually flash a bios file?

NOOO! thats very unfortunate. Wish I new an easy fix for you couldn't you just flash a new BIOS though? I single-boot linux on my mac and that uses the newer EFI instead of BIOS. Though BIOS is used in windows and is supported in newer kernels of linux, EFI is the newer and 'better' (term used loosely) boot loader.

The bootloader is the BIOS. When you power on the computer the BIOS boots the OS.

And congrats on your build!! which distribution are you using?? I'm running ubuntu 10.10

 

[dmiller2007]

10.10 also. I'm really liking learning my way around linux. the terminal is my newest project. I've got the basics down for it but I think I may need to find some ebooks on linux to get me through it. Lol random forums that I've stumbled upon and lurked on got me through the build and what I know of using bash. Back on topic tho, you suggested flashing a new bios also, could you elaborate on how that's done? I've seen bits and pieces on it and it seems difficult.

 

[Aggie12]

Dmiller, buy a linux bible. I'm looking to get one myself. I just moved to linux probably 3 months ago. OS X prior to that.

Flashing a new BIOS shouldn't be that difficult. Although you will need to have another computer to burn a bootable floppy or CD. To make sure its your BIOS you would probably get this type of message:

Boot Block Compatible Version Ver .010
Bad BIOS checksum. Starting BIOS Recovery
Checking for floppy . .
Floppy not found
Checking for CD rom . . .
CD not found
Checking for floppy . .
Floppy not found
Checking for CD rom . . .
CD not found

meaning the BIOS on the motherboard is shot and it's looking elsewhere for a BIOS (in the floppy drive and CD drive). So you could then make a bootable CD with the correct BIOS and then you would put that into your computer and it would throw a message like this:

Boot Block Compatible Version Ver .010
Bad BIOS checksum. Starting BIOS Recovery
Checking for floppy . . .
Floppy found.
Reading file "A8N32SLI.ROM" . Completed.
Start Erasing...
Start programing . . ./
Please turn off your system and power on again to get system back.

Like I stated. Not much background with BIOS systems. But the information in this post I found in this really good thread CORRUPTED BIOS AND HOW TO FLASH IT ? - Asus - Motherboards-Memory

I cant get it to work for me either. I bricked my phone some how trying to flash to gingerbread. It booted up and went right to the bootloader screen with Err:A5,69,35,00,27.

When I try to SBF it goes right to fail.

Someone help!

Hi,

Sorry you're having trouble. Please make sure that you have the latest sbf file. You can find it here and go to section four of the tutorial. http://androidforums.com/droid-x-al...ide-root-unroot-backup-rom-sbf-overclock.html Let us know. You might want to start your own thread with this so we can see it. Thanks!

What operating system are you running? I can't flash full sbfs through windows 7 64-bit.
There is something to do with the firewalls.

I have to use my windowsXP system for the process because it fails when

Im running windows 7 64 bit also. You have to run it as an admin and there's another secret as to why it fails. Ill see if I can find the topic.
