Please help anyone....I will make it worthwhile for anyone who fixes my phone expecially OLD_FOOL. I was reading through all the fourms and looks like he's the person to go for solutions. Anyway here's my story.
I flashed my whole 2 days ago with FB 2.62 to change the startup logo which i created using "Motorola Bootscreen Replacer". I think i pressed the "DISABLE RSA" button and after that my phone's dead. It's going into a boot cycle. Keypad lights up for 3 seconds then dies.
I was able to load the bootloaded 8.26 back on the phone. But for some reason when i flash a MP to the phone using MFF or RSD Lite it would say successful but the phone still wont turn on.
I think I am missing the PDS file. I understand thats an important file and I do have a backup of it. But unfortunately i used FB2.62 to backup and it not restore properly. I tried everything to get this phone up and running but had no success. I even tried to extract the PDS file from the full backup, created a .SHX file using "XVI32" and flashed the phone. NOTHING. If there's anyone out there that can help me solve my problem I would really appreciate it.
here's what my phone reads right now, when I am in FLASH mode:
Boot Loader 08.26
SW Version: R374_G_0E.40.30I_GNPO_11_RFD
OK to Program
USB
Transfer Mode
MMF 1.8 and RSD Lite 2.7 reads:
Device: S Flash Neptune LTE
Status: Connected
I do have a FULL BACK UP (.bin) and a PDS (.bin) back up which I created before I f**ked the phone.

You can still fix the phone if you have a backup. You need bootloader 7.D0 to restore using flashback, downgrade the bootloader to 7.D0 again

OK downgraded the phone to 7.D0 using "scotty2_8.26_downgrader_v2" but now the screen is black. But it's still connecting to computer. Tried repairing it with MRS but had no success...this what i got
Phone found
Flash mode ok
Send loader failed
Exec loader failed
Erasing phone, please wait...
Erase fail
Do you think MRS will replace my PDS file?

MRS will most likely corrupt your PDS and kill the phone.
Use flashbackup and restore your backup

Try it with a different PC. Flashbackup sometimes has issues with particular USB setups

Do you have a PDS backup?
If not you will need to find someone with a smartclip to fix it
