Do you know anyone I send it to in order to get it up and running again?

[SamuriHL]

I would personally find someone with a windows machine that you can borrow for an hour. Throw it in AP Fastboot mode with a charged battery, load up RSD Lite, open the FXZ, and have at it.

[dlw]

I'll try that.
Thank you for your time and effort.
I really appreciate it.

No problem. Sorry I can't come up with a quick and easy solution for you.

Do you have to edit the environment variables in "PATH" on Linux for where it searches for the commands?

No, I dynamically generate all that. It's a self contained installation.

OK, got er done!!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I guess there is some use for Windoze after all.

Now, I got to figure out how to flash it back to Page Plus.

Any ideas on that.

Thanks again.

[SamuriHL]

Not a clue on that. I'm very glad you got it fixed though. Nice job.

[johnlgalt]

The Page Plus flashing instructions (and other off carriers) for these devices have all been for ICS. I have yet to see one that works on JB.

[dlw]

SOLVED

Thanks to all who helped.

[johnlgalt]

You get on Page Plus?

[dlw]

Yes, had to take to shop because flashing went back to Verizon.
Thanks for asking.

I really would like to find a Jelly Bean that would work.
My Infuse had SlimBean 4.1.2 on it and I really liked it.

I'll keep looking.

PS:
How to mark a thread 'Solved'?

[johnlgalt]

Go back to the main forum view and hover over the topic - at the far right, there should be a 'gear' icon that will allow you to rename the topic - just added "[SOLVED]" to the title (preferably at the beginning).

If you can't do it let me know - I can.

Just found your thread/topic and I see you have got your bionic back up. Please tell me how you got yours back up. I've ran into the same exact issues you described but on my Mint 13, 32 bit laptop and desktop. I've also had issues trying on my old winblow$ XP computer. I've got safestrap 3.11 and get into both stock and safestrap recoveries. I have gotten it to boot but doesn't go all the way, like there's no desktop/window manager. I got bionic stock ics recovery files from a guy ( system.ext3.win & data.ext3.win) in safestrap recovery file and restored it to get that far. I've been looking and trying for about week and half.

Thanks for any help!!

I'm not sure how I did it now.
However, did use Windose XP on an EEE PC Netbook.
Downloaded Motorola Device Manager and RSDLite.
You also need to download VRZ_XT875_6.7.246.XT875.Verizon.en.US_CFC_01.xml
I think thats all you need.
When complete you have a stock Verizon phone.
Good luck. Let me know if I was close.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.

I will give that a try. My first experinces with XP , mine is SP2, I'm not sure what the issue(s) were with my pc but I could see adb in device manager but couldn't get my bionic to be recognized by software to flash it. I tried drivers from 5.2, 5.5, 5.7, and loaded the Motorola Device Manager as well but still no connections.

SamaraiHL's HoB (thanks for your work) runs but can't find it nor other software I've tried. RSDlite shows it but always fails trying to flash.

I know it's some small thing I'm missing but I can't see it.

I have seen in my searches this week adb drivers for winbloze so I dl'ed them. Today before work though I found android linux fastboot package for those like us who use ubuntu/debian/linux mint. And I'm glad to say just tried using it while typing this from command line with phone in AP Fastboot ...

and you can see it has found my bionic so hopefully tomorrow I'll get things straight.
I found the package for Precise ,which matches my Mint 13 package listings.

Again DLW thanks for responding back bro
and to all of you guys writting programs / software and keeping us Linux users in mind.

[rollo]

All is well again and you can get adb package as well now. I used fastboot to install each componant in FXZ file which lead me to not being able to see anything but would boot up, power down, goto recovery, no more safestrap or root. Then tried installing the OTA upgrade package which went through - no more signature failure. I am also now back on page plus with working ICS Bionic.
Just need to root and make a backup so no issues in future.
