Dude my backflip is stuck on usb init blue screen i cannot get that screen when i connect with computer using usb cord. i can only see that screen when i connect my phone with wall charger. Battery is fully charged . thank you for your help.

For anyone not wanting to recompile an SBF and happen to have a US AT&T motorola then I have uploaded a modded sbf which is here:

Modded-att-motus-viper-0.13.37_SECURE_PRODUCTION.sbf

Download and flash with RSDLite

For the software (Depacker, MotoDrivers, etc.) here is the link:

Free Cloud Storage - MediaFire

For anyone else or people who want to compile for themselves then continue to read below.

I have seen some people with this problem so I decided I would start a thread for the solution I came up with.

Last night myself being very tired decided to flash from 2.1 down to 1.5 as some of you know from experience or from knowledge this is a very bad idea because the official 2.1 has an updated radio.img. After flashing you will most likely be stuck at the USBINIT screen. If this is the case this is how you can fix it to get back to stock 1.5 with the updated radio.

First download Moto-Depacker

Second find your SBF that you tried to flash to but now your phone will not boot.

Third Open SBF in Depacker and click Split to folder

This should create a folder in the directory your SBF was in with the name of your SBF

This folder will include a bunch of MBN files

Then extract the update.zip you have in a different folder

There is a file in update.zip (or your 2.1 soak) called radio.img make sure you know where that was extracted

In Depacker click on MOTOBLUR then Extract radio.img

This will create a folder in the directory radio.img is in called radio-extracted with a bunch of MBN files

Copy and replace the files from radio-extracted to the directory that was created when you hit Split to Folder

Example (SBF NAME)/

After the files in your split folder have been replaced by the files from your radio-extracted folders go to Depacker and click Open Files Folder

Find your split Folder and select it

After that you should be able to hit Compile File

After compiling there will be a folder created in your Split Folder called rebuilt

In that folder there will be an SBF file

Use that SBF file to flash your phone with RSDLITE

After Flashing your phone should boot normally

I have done this myself and it has worked perfectly well.

Good luck to anyone having this problem and please post issues, concerns, and anything else in this thread.

(For anyone confused on the NOTE: before in this post I had these directions attached to a list of directions for someone to flash using rsdlite.. forgot to remove it lol.)
