correarc... dont give up. just be patient and methodical.
follow sams instructions
he will get you working again.

Ignore what the others say until Sam agrees with them.

Too many irons in the fire can be bad.

youll get this figured out.

I'll send it to you in a message, I feel bad that I'm filling the thread with this issue.

[SamuriHL]

Don't worry about it. If obsidian complains, I'll beat his arse. LOL! (He won't complain....he likes seeing the community come together to help...you should have seen the thread where I was bricked for 36 hours back in December). We will fix this. We're only on level 1 of my bag of tricks. Level 2 involves me writing custom scripts to fix your phone so just relax, follow my instructions, and we'll get it fixed.

[correarc1]

Dang, I feel like I need to figure out a way to be helpful back to you guys. This is pretty neat.

[SamuriHL]

You flash looks good. So, my guess is you're not waiting long enough for it to boot. Give it 20+ minutes and see if she boots. If not, your Bionic may be physically screwed. Cause the FXZ was successful.

[correarc1]

Ha, now I'm gonna be trippin' over here thinking that I somehow physically damaged my phone... (let us hope not...)

[SamuriHL]

I hope not, as well, but, all the flashing was successful, so, I don't know what else we could do at this point.

When you did the trick with the USB cable did you connected to your phone or to the battery terminals?

Two things concern me:
1. You installed safestrap over bootstrap while on a ROM.
2. You charged your phone using the USB cable trick.

Both of these ideas can result in bad outcomes. Lets hope not though.

[correarc1]

okay, I still have a bricked phone.

To answer the concerns. When I charged the battery, I did have it connected to the phone. (which, now that I think about it... of course that could damage the phone! how did I not think of that!?)
However, I have a feeling that eye_dea's #1 is the big problem at play (since it is what originally bricked my phone). I have not been able to boot (or FXZ) since I installed safestrap over bootstrap while on a ROM.

Thanks, everybody, for both the encouraging words, and the willingness to help me out.

Does anyone have any other ideas?

[SamuriHL]

The FXZ WAS successful though. I looked at your log. The only thing left to try that I can think of is a *FULL* FXZ. This will wipe your internal SDCARD. Open RSD in the HoB\RSD directory, then load the xml file in the 905_FXZ folder. Flash it. That's as full factory reset as you can get. If it doesn't boot after that, you have a problem I can't solve.

[correarc1]

I'm not gonna lie, now I'm concerned.

[SamuriHL]

Did you try my suggestion? I gotta admit, I'm concerned, too. This may be the first one I can't fix. TBH, that'll upset me.

I have one thing you could try, and it most likely wont work but I dont think it will hurt at the point your at. Also if SamuriHL and they other guys here havent thought of a fix yet I doubt anyone else will find one *BUT* back on topic, my idea is do your .905 FXZ and if you can get into stock recovery after that (battery pull I guess) do so and install the .232 update then try to boot. The last two times I had to FXZ it wouldnt boot until I installed the .232 on top of it then it worked fine. Chances are I just didnt wait long enough for it to boot up and it would have, but if not maybe your in the same boat and this will help. I hope you get back up and running

- You should prolly run this by samuri too first if you do try it I wouldnt want to somehow make anything worse.

[SamuriHL]

I thought about trying that, too. I don't know. I guess it can't hurt. Don't go back 232 though.

[magicmaster141]

Don't go back 232 though.

what do you mean? is he on a leak after 232 that wont let him go back to 232?

[SamuriHL]

*beyond, not back. Sorry. Typing in about 90 different windows right now.

[magicmaster141]

no prob I wonder if he has enough charge to apply the 232 update. As i remember it takes nearly as long as a FXZ. But I do have hope cuz this sounds almost if not exactly like the problem I ran into. FXZ went fine and I started freaking when it wouldnt boot after that. So I FXZ'ed again still wouldnt boot and all I could think of was to try to update to 232... anyway let me know how it goes I will be back on computer in few hours

[correarc1]

I'm trying it right now, guys. it looks like the update is going through okay - let's see what happens once the update is over... I needed to re-charge the battery, but I made sure not to do it stupidly this time.
