my HD2 won't go in bootloader, i can't connect my phone in bootloader ... try many thing but everything's wrong !!!! need a Real HELP
Have you tried doing the key-press hard reset?
Remove the back cover from the HD2, now hold down the volume up and down keys, while also holding down the end call key. Now press in the red reset button under the back cover to the bottom left of the SIM, release the reset button and your finger on the end call button at the same time, but keep the volume up and down buttons pressed in. You should after a while of holding be presented with a white screen giving instructions to either continue with the reset to the manufacturers default, or press any key to cancel
Good luck!
you dont need to touch the reset button to hard reset.
phone off
vol up and vol down held
tap and release power.
that's it.
I already do That... Don't work ... !!! Please help

you can't, it is a professional tool which costs thousands of dollars.
Try to claim insurance or warranty on it, or sell it for parts and pick up another used one.
If you flash an incompatible radio on your phone, it will brick.

Hey everyone I need some help.
I was following the steps to flashing for the first time and I may have screwed up.
I first used the unlocker and installed bootloader 2.40
then tried to InstallDCD 3.2.2
then couldnt do radio
I am now stock on the Verizon screen and I cant even get to bootloader.. Please help...USB not showing up and updater utility gives error 260
Radio1.30.60
DCD3.2.2
Thanks
Mkenny2
I think I know what to do if I can get to the bootloader but I have been holding down the camera and reseting and I am getting nothing. I tried taking the battery out and a hard reset and still nothing
That's because you have to hold both the power button and camera button while soft resetting.
hey gc 14 I tried doing that also after seeing it somewhere else and still had no luck.....any other way to get to the bootloader?
any help or suggestions would be awesome guys. I am really getting worried I screwed this up bad

you gotta kinda hold in that soft-reset button for about 2 seconds while holding camera+power, then release them all at once...
see if u can get in that way...
still no luck...I have done it before but now i cant get to the bootloader. It is crazy....is there any other way of accessing it?
your supposed to install the radio before you update your ROM. thats probably your issue.
yeah i figured that but now i cant get to the bootloader.....i do not want to have to go to verizon and beg for a new phone lol
so do you think I should take it to verizon and play dumb?

NO! you'll lose warranty... have you tried taking the battery out for a while and putting it back in and then trying to get to bootloader?
will your computer recognize the phone when plug it in? make noises etc..?
you might be able to try and flash the 1.2 olipro bootloader and go from there if so
It is not showing connected at all......Do you have the 1.2? I tried opening the 2.4 again and it cant connect to the device

This probably isn't going to help at all, but when I go to bootloader mode I usually hold Camera + Power, push soft reset, and not let go of Camera + Power until the bootloader comes up. Like I said, probably won't help, but it's worth a shot.

Took the words straight outta my mouth...I can't hit the buttons right (I'm old and uncoordinated )when the phone is on its back. I set my phone on edge so I can push down with 2 fingers..press reset with the stylus and wait until the bootloader screen pops up...then release everything. mkenny2 whats showing on your phone screen now...still the verizon splash screen?
yep just the verizon screen with the check. I hold the 2 buttons down with my hand and reset with stylus in my mouth lol.....still no luck though guys.....I should have installed the radio first...this really sucks....
after a hard reset the computer pops up saying usb device not recognized but that is it...can we do anything with that to get it to recognize it??

How does att find out if your phone is bricked or not?
When I start up my fuze it stays at the Att boot screen.
Any help?
Try hard reset? Hold volume down button, press the select button (center click of the d-pad), and then put the stylus in the reset hole. If it still screwed up, you might try what I've seen mentioned on here....kind of radical, but 2-3 people say it works. Pull your sim card & SD mini card (if you have one), now get this....stick the phone in the microwave for two seconds. It fries it good and apparently (I've not done this) they can't tell you've bricked it. Then you can request a warranty exchange.
If you haven't already tried hard resetting your phone you can do the following:
Hold pressed the volume down button together with the round "OK" button and while holding those press the reset button with the tip of the stylus (it is located right next to the usb / charging port) until you see a white screen with blue letters. It will ask you to press volume up to restore the original ROM - just foolow the instructions and you'll be fine! Hope i've helped!
yea ive tried holding vol down button and the center and tried restoring it, but it still doesnt boot up after that. How do they find out if it bricked or not?

Rather than trying to hard reset, have you verified whether you can or cannot enter Bootloader mode? If you can, you should be able to flash a stock ROM to your device.
That has happened to me a while back, here is what I did.
Put your phone into Bootloader mode,
press and hold the volume down button, then press the reset button with the stylus. Release the volume down button when bootloader tricolour screen appears**
Plug your phone back into your PC and flash another ROM.
How will ATT know if you bricked your fuze? Well, if you send it in for service, that's how they'll know if you bricked it. More to the point, what did you do to your fuze to get it into the current state? Have you flashed any cooked roms on it, or are you on the stock rom/spl/radio/etc.? If so, you shouldn't have too much to worry about from a warranty perspective. Have you flashed any roms onto your fuze? Did you flash hard spl (1.90.olinex)? Did you flash a cdma rom onto your fuze (in other words, one you downloaded from ppc geeks or the cdma forum here)? Did you flash a non-compliant radio? You might as well spit out a little info if you want any help.

I wondered about that myself, but, I've seen a couple of posts on XDA about putting the phone into a microwave for 2 seconds. I'm sure the magnatron tube in the microwave will "really" appreciate it LOL

I would pull the battery, that's most likely to explode.

Actually, I had a friend brick his verizon touch pro. He nuked it for two seconds and they exchanged it. No questions asked.
if you put anything metal in your microwave for very long, especially electronics, you can kiss that microwave good bye. my baby brother put a gameboy in the microwave and 5 seconds later the microwave was dead, the gameboy miraculously survived though.
they last a lil longer with forks...
Anyway to fix my brick? I used Odin to restore my phone back to stock, and then used kies to update it back to the latest (none rooted) build, after said it was done and needs to restart but my phone was black screen and now wont turn on. No matter how long it charge/hold down any combination of buttons / anything it does no turn on not even light up black its like if it is completely dead, can anyone tell me how this could have happened everything updated fine.
I don't know how it could have happened, we take your word for it. I know you said you tried different button combinations, but have you tried to get into download mode? If that doesn't work, try using a jig to induce the phone into download mode. If that doesn't work, you can probably have it jtagged. Or buy a nexus s )

Yes I can't get no response not even download mode, ok how do I jig and jtag? any guid so n how to do it, i'll try anything before having to run to tMobile and saying an update broke it lol
It sounds like you destroyed the bootloader. I was in the same situation when I flashed the GB bootloader by checking the reboot checkbox. To get back, I removed the battery, hold vol up + vol down + power, launched odin, plug usb, and slide the battery in.

How old is the phone? Could it still be under one year warranty from Tmobile? If it is still within one year call up and tell them you tried to update with Kies and it screwed your phone.

I was in the same situation. Any of the methods mentioned before don't worked for me because you have a hard brick.. your only option is a RIFF Box JTAG.

Sorry for my bad english
So I bought a new Radar from a guy on craiglist. Unfortunately, it has demo software and it deletes my accounts after a short while so it is useless as a daily phone. I want to flash the factory rom but I can't find the rom (.exe, I believe) anywhere. I only see the nbd file. I came from android and would like to make the switch to wp7. I would appreciate anyone's help. Thanks!
Go to settings>about>reset
See if that fixes it.
Tried it a couple of times. no go.
Ok lets try the other method. I forget the key set but get into the the booot loader (involves holding the vol, power, and camera). I just forget which order it is in. Then use the vol buttons to select reset and power to confirm.

Buyer Beware: Of Craigslist anyways!
I agree with twiz_... Sounds like you bought a device stolen from the T-Mobile store (aka. a dedicated demo phone). They're pre-programed to run/loop in demo mode.
May be re-flashable, but I doubt it.
Did you try flashing this?

That sucks----no way
Yea, i work at t-mobile... i got the demo at my store and tried taking the video loop off... i tried every "ROM" on the forum, nothing works.... unless you contact t-mobile and get them to MAYBE send you the right files, your phone is good as a DEMO....
i would def suggest always check the about phone in settings when you are buying a phone. it usually tells you demo or not.
GOOD LUCK THO!!!!!
You can always go through Asurion and just pay the deductible, assuming you have insurance on your line. They will allow you to do claims on stolen demo phones.
I'm also a tmobile employee and I found it about this when I had a customer that had a phone that had some defective hardware and our tech care couldn't process a warranty exchange but advised customer to go through Asurion.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS THIS
hard reset your devices let it turn off by itself
when it turns on
take the battery out
put the battery back in
PRES VOLUME DOWN AND POWER
till you get the bootloader
connect the device to your computer using usb cable
run the ruu with the tmobile software
let do its thing
enjoy
Dude there is no removable battery...LOL

Is it impossible?
Hey guys,
So, I think I officially join the club of the bricked Razr Max people today.
It happened like this.. Everything was running fine, created a few restore points of different roms in SafeStrap. Two under SafeSystem Enabled and one with it Disabled. So, I go ahead like a newb apparently and try to load my first restored image from the original OS / Stock, and I forgot SafeSystem is Enabled while loading it, mind you, this Restore point was made with SafeSystem Disabled when I was new to SafeSystem. Low and behold, the phone started up, "Dual Core Logo" showed for about ten seconds, and the went right to black screen and I can't get it out of there. Nothing I can do will start up the device. I have the charger in meanwhile and the phone isn't even recognizing a charge.
What do I do? Am I f*cked beyond immeasurable repair? Let me know.
Thanks
Ok I'm short on time, but this should help!

You know what though? I can't even power up into Bootloader that's how bad it is. Like, I am left with holding down the power button to absolutely nothing functioning. Screen won't turn on or off, nothing. I mean this is deeply off. Thanks for the guide though, but isn't his method for steps 5 to 8 only valid if you can get into the boot loader?

Wow. Problem fixed. It was as simple as holding the two volume buttons down at the same time while pressing the power button. Back in the bootloader and restoring to original state. This time PROPERLY. let's see if this works.

I am sure your device is hard bricked, and nothing can make it work
only motorola can help u, so go there and tell them that u put ur device for full night charging and now it wont turn on.
They wont catch ur root cause they will have to change the motherboard revive the device

Same as Matty, You can't hard brick a Motorola. If they didn't provide a PC counterpart to the phone for restoration, they made sure that a user could pretty damn well not hard brick it.

All you need is fastboot files, RSD Lite and maybe, the factory cable. Just so everyone knows there are ways to get around everything!
Let's say you messed up your phone and it won't boot up. All you can do is get into fastboot and the bootloader. Problem is, your battery is too low to flash anything. Too easy:
Press and hold the vol down and power button until you see the screen flicker, let go of those buttons and quickly press and hold all 3 buttons on the side (power and both volume buttons). Once in the bootloader, plug in your wall charger. Now hit volume down until you highlight the SBF option and press volume up to select it. Now press and hold the power button for about 3 seconds and release it. Your phone will power down and should begin to charge. Once you get a full charge, repeat the process to get into fastboot, use RSD Lite and the fastboot files, viola!!
It's virtually impossible to hard brick a Moto phone unless there is a hardware issue or the bootloader gets corrupt somehow.
Umm, so out of curiosity. What might one do if the bootloader gets corrupted? I already sent it back to Moto and they claimed this new phone suffered water damage. (I've personally seen that the 3 stickers are non activated, 2 on board and 1 visible. So much for their theory). Just curious. And Jtag's seem quite costly and then there's the issue of correct pinout and finding the firmware. Any other solutions?
