Root Boot looped....I've searched and read lots

[grtechguy]

But nothing seems to work:

Speedy XE SHIP S-ON
Hboot-0.98.0001
Radio-1.08.00.0506
eMMC-boot
Apr 11 2011, 22:32:34

ADB does NOT recognize device

Fastboot does recognize it.

I can get to Hboot, Hboot USB, fastboot, fastboot USB.

clicking recovery reboots the phone.

I've tried copying the original RUU's (renamed to PG06IMG.zip) and get a Main Version is newer

PG06IMG-twrp-speedy-1.1.1 runs with out error (from SDcard), but appears to do nothing.

running "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" gives me a signature error.

SDCard has been formatted to FAT32 several times & alternate cards tried as well.

Different Batteries tried as well.

I think I've covered it all

Ok first, what where you trying to do before the bootloop? Also, You can't flash recovery with S-on.. you need S-off in order to do that. I'm assuming you tried running the old RUU's, which will not work because your bootloader is locked down. You need to try and run this RUU [ROM]RUU_Speedy_S_Sprint_WWE_2.76.651.4_Radio_1.08.00.0 506_NV_SPCS_1.88 - xda-developers. This is the RUU for 2.3.3 so hboot should allow it to run. It's a .exe you run from your PC, it should work while your phone is in Hboot.

It was connected to my laptop via USB with ABD open....I went to lunch and the battery had drained completely when I got back.

That RUU won't run either. says droid is not connected (still shows in device manager and fastboot)

Do you have the proper drivers installed?

Do you have the proper drivers installed?

Same ones that where on before the battery died and have tried several others.

This is on a win 7 64bit machine...I've been trying to get access to an XP box

Do this:
Boot into fastboot and type the following command (I know it seems like it wont work but this one command will wipe EVERYTHING except for bootloader which means your device can start from scratch on an RUU.

fastboot erase system erase userdata erase cache erase boot erase recovery

yes, it's all one command and it works.

I'm everywhere dude lol.

 

[grtechguy]

I'm still getting a USB error 171 when running the RUU after running that command.


What would you say are the best drivers for me to try on this? I'll try what ever suggestions you have.

 

[330D]

There are drivers that may or may not work... I have given out the advice to try PDANet drivers and it (99% of the time) cures driver issues. So, download PDANet to your pc and hopefully it helps with your connectivity.

still no go
