Root Bricked after 340 sbf

I'm trying to go to 596 but I didn't update the radio so I sbf'd back to 340 and it bricked the phone. I've tried a few different downloads of the 340 sbf file and none work. Anyone know what I can do to get a working phone?
 
Are you guys sure your batteries are over 50 percent? It won't work on less.

+1!
Make sure batts are FULLY charged before trying any SBF....forreal. lol
If not you might find yourself in a stickey situation...esp if using RSD Lite....it did get funny on me once.
 
Neither of yall actually told anyone anything. Which RDS are you using? Which SBF file? What makes you think you "bricked" the phone? Are you just bootlooping? Please expand on the details so someone can actually provide some real assistance.
 
I have found that after you SBF from Gingerbread back to FroYo you need to boot in to the system recovery (Home button pushed while tushing the power button) and then do a factory reset. Once you do that it should boot up with no problem. I had to do this on two phones this week and one had to have the factory reset and the other one did not.
 
I finally got it after four and a half hours. I'm finally seeing an upside to the unlocked bootloader on the t bolt, now matter what I do to it I can fix it in 5 minutes. I ended up having to boot into Linux to get the sbf to take. I tried deleting the data and cashe but that didn't help, but it was still required when I sbf'd through Linux. I did the sbf with rsd lite 4.9 and I tried the 340 sbf (several different downloads, all were the "full sbf") I also did it with 30% battery because I've never had a problem as long as I've had 20%, it was at 20% when I started the sbf through Linux and it worked great.

So she doesn't kill me, she didn't ask me to update it, I was just trying to improve her phone. I'm gonna keep it on stock froyo though, its very fast, faster than ApeX and almost as fast as liberty was when I had I had it.
 
all you got to do really is just sbf back to stock froyo, root it, with d2 or dx bootstrapper just install the prerooted GB, and guess what thats all you gotta do!
of course after a data wipe and cache, and then data wipe and cache when installing roms. :)



i doubt she would kill you..... maybe harm you physically of as to which you cannot recover from, but not kill you. :)

Stock Froyo faster than ApeX or on par with Liberty? Doesn't sound right to me.

When I had the X I only ran stock froyo for the first few weeks, and it sucked. Then I went to apex and it was much better and then to liberty which was the best. After I gave it to my wife I put it back to stock with root and autokiller and I was really surprised at how fast it was, then I put ApeX 1.4.1 an it lags a bit and browsing is slower than stock, so I reinstalled it a few times and each time it was the same. The only reason Ihaven't put Liberty on it for her is because she really likes the blur dialer.

I've always had the opposite experience if what happened to you, no matter the circumstances.
