great thread, slow88lx. made it a sticky for everyone.

I'm trying to get back to stock after making a few noob mistakes (uninstalling things I shouldn't have) but I'm running into errors using these files. My phone is a new Droid 3 (less than three weeks old) that shipped with 5.6.890, so I'm trying to reflash that. It appears that the filename swap mentioned earlier has been corrected, since the filename I downloaded matches the link text (D3G-55_1FF is 890, right?). At any rate, I get this error on step 1 (but sometimes it gets through to 3 or 4): "Size data returned by phone does not match what was expected." I'm guessing that means the partition sizes don't match up with the image sizes, but I haven't modified them. Any ideas?

Thanks!

yea, like androidsims said, try the other fastboot file.
but if it still doesn't work, then this will fix the partition problem you're having. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17427668&postcount=84
there's a readme file in that zip with explanation.

d3g-55 is the 890

I bricked my d3 earlier from using a bad xml file.. how do i change the md5s or is there a healthy .zip out there to unbrick my phone? Ive tried extracting plenty of different zips but im getting file corrupt errors. Thanks, anything would help at this point.

Sounds like you have viruses. Lol.

Seriously though...
You don't change md5s. You use them to verify the file you downloaded. There are good zips in the first post.

 

[razorloves]

why cant i simply extract them? preinstall.img and system.img file corrupt errors..

Probably incomplete download. I highly recommend you verify the md5. only takes a minute.

Does the same thing happen if you leave it as a zip and load it into rsdlite? Rsd lite automatically unzips it for you.

Ended up using the method razorloves posted earlier for mbaker who was having the same problem as I was and after carefully following the instructions it worked like a charm! Thanks for all your help! This saved my phones life!

cool. glad that worked for you.

Does anyone know where I can find a fastboot for the xt860. Its version 5.1.544

i dont know of one, but there is a system dump here that should help you out if you're in a bind http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255647

why wont my pc open rsd lite after i dl it? it asks me how do i want windows to open it

If you're referring to the rsdlite 5.5 link in the first post, it's an archieve file. You need a program like winrar or 7zip to extract it.

Please can you PROs help me my friends d3 wont allow me to flash anything, its not rooted. idk what happened, but it force closes everything, market will not open, cant install apps or anything. ive tried RSD lite, psouza4 his method and super one click, i would try odin but cant get into download mode, ive tried to many times to count, pls can yall help me?

on RSD it fails on the 3rd step...

You're failing on step 3, extracting the zip? That usually means the download is not complete or is corrupted. Delete it and redownload.

You have to be rooted to flash anything. So that's your problem. Just do a factory reset and should be back to normal. If its not, then maybe the memcard needs formatting or replacement

I am trying to get these files and the download links do not work for me. I get the white web page, I have tried it on 4 different browsers such as chrome and safari and of course internet explorer 64 bit. Are the links still active?
