PSA: Dont install SOAK

[tatted]

Ok this is a PSA dont install the SOAK....
Lots of bricks... and the Press release from moto gives me a scary feeling. I want to see what tricks they have up there sleeves.... they had time to patch our root method....

Im going to get it soon so we will see


YOU CANT FLASH BACK FROM WHAT IM SEEING!!!!! THAT MEANS U ARE STUCK!!!!!

What is the SOAK?

Motorola is doing a soak test for there new 2.0.87 gingerbread update for the Cliq 2.

[Pimozide]

Yep, it permabricked my phone. Thought I had unrooted by reflashing 1.0.30..but guess not. I had an extra cliq 2 I am now using. I am really tempted to go HTC....motorola is such a pain.

Pimozide have you heard anything from moto yet? And you did say you can't get into the bootloader correct? Reason I ask is I was goofing with my phone and couldn't even get into the bootloader and had the idea to grab my extra charged battery and evidently it was the battery being to low.

there is no such thing as perm brick for android... (at least that I have seen) so you can't get to the bootloader by pushing u+pwr? what happens? Im can u get to stock recovery? x+pwr?

[Pimozide]

Oh how I wish it were true. So when I press the power button the red light blinks for a sec and goes out. Power and X, same thing. Power and arrow, battery and x, battery and arrow, volume down and power, volume up and power....nothing. Red light for a second...then black. Screen never even lights up. RSD reads the state as "flash" and will actually flash the phone but the screen never turns on and no combinatons of options checked for RSD or sbf files seems to bring it back. This state appears to be unique to motorola and other phones have run into this issue...atrix 4g and defy that I saw. Most posts describe as terminal.

I posted on the soak forum...quite a few people this happened to. So far, other than being told RSD software is stolen...we haven gotten much guidance but they have held off rolling out the update further. I have a trouble ticket into motorola and they responded needing my serial number..which I can't give right now becaus the phone is home keeping some papers from blowing off my desk

But...I knew it was the risk...thats why we have all those disclosures before screwing with the ROMs. I just wish unofficial CM mod could get the dang mute button and wifi to work...wouldn't need to mess with this stuff.

Just got a message from motorola that I will need to exchange the phone.

Sounds like motorola is honoring a replacement for testers who bricked...so at least I am not out of a phone.

I dont get it, how can it be possible that leaked version work good, and newest version makes so many problems..

[tatted]

well my guess is that they saw we rooted the leak and saw we were able to flash back to old version so they "Fixed" those problems the only way they know how .... by bricking the phone

[alarmdude9]

I agree tatted and also it looks like they can get the imei and see your versions etx.

I believe the term is "security enhancements"

I suspect the reason there have been some problems is that people modded their phones and flashed back to 1.1.30 instead of going to 1.0.23 first (like they were warned) and then upgrading to 1.1.30 before trying to get the 2.0.87.
