Seems there have no way to turn my phone on, after unlock bootloader failure via RSDList.
i've tried taken the battery out, put it back in. tried holding volume up, down, both. My phone still have no "reaction", no screen, no error code, just feel it "cool" likes deadly.
And, when i plugged it (battery taken out) into my computer via USB-marcoUSB, a green light on, but still can't connect to it (no device detected from computer, and also cant ADB).
What can I do now ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
that's weird. did you try removing the battery, and plugging into the charger?
...I did this 2 days after getting my ATRIX.
Same exact problem as you, it failed to flash. the green light thing, and no possible way to turn it on. Even tried another battery...
This is called a Hardbrick... not really a fun thing to have happen.
I took mine back to AT&T and got it replaced saying I was having issues from the get go (since I bought it only 2 days ago) they replaced it no questions asked.
Next time you wanna unlock your bootloader, I recommended the automatic script here for doing it.
I was on the 2.3.4 OTA update when I used it.

I had read your post on another forum, my situation is exactly same with you.
I just want to confirm if there have any possible solution, before I sent my phone to repair.

Fried. Return it for a new one.
Intel from personal experience.
I'm in the same boat, I accidentally clicked the wrong SBF while using RSD and ended up with the same issue above, I'm just gonna send it in, I'm actually shipping it in a couple hours.

Hi all! My new Atrix was running on Android 2.2, as the newer version of ROM was available, I decided to install it. I fully charged the battery and started installation. In the middle of the process I saw error message in RSD Lite (something like "flashing failed") and my gadget has powered off. Since that time I cannot boot it, cannot power on, cannot do anything. It's like a piece of plastic that doesn't react on any action. Please, help me to resolve this issue, because I cannot return it back to the seller.
Thank you all in advance.
Have you pulled the battery let it sit for a few seconds and put the battery in and tried powering up?
If you can still get into rsd mode then there is hope, otherwise you are hard bricked

Yes, I pulled the battery out and put it in and it didnt help
I cannot access rsd mode as well
One small update, I was plugging the phone to the PC by cable and suddenly the green light switched on. It happened when I was inserting the cable. When the cable was plugged till the end, the green light dissapeared.
Can it be that loader has crashed? If the gadget is hard bricked, is there any possibility to recover it?
Yesterday I was at the service-center, where I was told that boot loader has burnt out and it needs some repair + reinstall firmware using chip programmer. As Atrix is a new model, firmware doesn't exist yet. I am very frustrated that my new phone will lie down on the shelf waiting for good people that create this software.
Same Issue on me

Hi, can you tell me what happened finally on reparing your atrix? I have the same problem like you had and right now I am just waiting for my factory cable to see whether it can help. My warranty is expired.
So I was updating (well, downgrading firmware from 2.17 to 2.08 really) the firmware on my phone. It went through its thing and said it updated ok and to press power to reboot. I did and the screen went out, didnt come back on. Waited a minute and nothing, usually this works after a second or two so this is very odd. So I removed the battery and put it back and still nothing. I know is is VERY bad idea to remove battery during firmware update, but the update was done and the phone said it was all finished and needed to reboot by this point. Anyway, nothing will get the phone to turn on or show any sign of life. Plugging USB ion does nothing, plugging in to power does nothing. Removing SD card and trying to boot doesnt work, different battery doesnt work. Trying to hold all buttons while booting does nothing, trying to boot to bootloader does nothing, and booting like normal does nothing. Whether I press the power button or hold it for 3 minutes straight. Nothing. Is my phone hard-bricked now and I have to send it to HTC for reprogramming?

Ya if your hboot 1.5 S-ON you can't downgrade... Pullin the battery probably spanked it... Have you tried a RUU exe for the hell of it?
What hboot were you?
Wow, sorry bout your luck homey.
HBOOT-1.4 S-OFF
Anyone have any ideas?
Also tried plugging it into computer, doesn't register connection at all.

Unfortunately sounds like it's all done man. You've confirmed battery is good by trying other ones, so it's got juice. Based on what you've said, it's toast. As far as I know, there is no way to recover an Evo3D when it's the state yours is in. TrevE was working on some download mode stuff, I think trying to jtag it, but never got to a useful point with it. Sorry for your luck.
Edit: And the only thing I can really think of to explain why it happened, is that perhaps your download was corrupted. Flashing a corrupted radio = brick. Did you check the md5sum? Because as long as you're positive that the firmware update was 100% complete before you pulled the battery, it shouldn't have bricked.
Took it in to a repair store, they completely took the phone apart and probed it with all their special tools and all that. Apparently the motherboard is fried. Dont know how that happens with something like this but whatever. Seems almost like dumb luck that it happened at the same time, but most likely it is somehow related.
Looks like I am leaving the EVO 3D family. I will miss all the fun stuff that goes on here and the AnthraX kernels. But I sold my brand new EVO3 D I got as a replacement for enough money to cover the whole ETF from Sprint and the cost of a Galaxy Nexus. So thats where I am moving.
I was downgrading from 4.0.4 to 2.3.5 and while flashing with RSDlite the battery suddely went down and it showed failure.
Since then I am not able to turn my phone on, nor even in the menu which shows the option of AP Fastboot.
When I plugin into the computer, it shows a white LED and nothing else. What should I do?

I have been seeing many threads here. One of them suggested to charge in AP fastboot mode using the buttons but that didn't work for me. I am yet to try the cable method.
Is there any other way out?
Guys, I cannot understand why users are trying to flash with low battery again and again. The problem is already known well, am I right?
So, put your device on the charger, NOT TO THE PC. Wait a while and check if it's charging. Maybe you are able to put the device into the fastboot mode only for a short moment, there you can shut it down pressing the power button shortly. The you should be able to charge it normally. If not, try a factory cable. AND at least: READ THE FORUMS!!!
Edit: And do NOT charge it with your PC! It will only charge with you charger.

My phone automatically boots in the fastboot mode and it shows battery low. I am not able to charge it.
I have been reading the forums and all the stuff I found is not working, that's why I made this new thread.
I think from fb mode press vol down and power.This should turn off and you may be able to charge. If not either get a factory lead made or make on yourself

doubt it, ive been trying endless methods to try make it work as waiting for factory cable from ebay is gonna be like 20-25working days, not counting the despatch of the item after 3 business days of payment being received. god that is soooooo long 4 me!! arghhhh
You'll need a factory cable to flash a new rom in order to charge ur razr. Do a factory cable forum search.
Don't be scared by the name, it's just a modified cable you do by yourself.
Good luck

I screwed something up trying to flash. I get back up sometimes but
Now my phone no longer charges. It also shows signal but cant
Do anything unless on wifi. I cant flash anything else to this phone.
I think it still charging in fastboot mode but it takes longer time. Try to charge it (in fastboot mode) for 3-4 hours. It works for me.

No I think it is looking like going on e bay or getting one made locally either by yourself or electronics shop
I have given my phone in a Motorola Service Centre. I will get it back next week, so now I just have to wait!

You just buy the factory cable.it can solved the issue. just PM me.
Okay i first want to say. THE BUTTONS DO NOT HELP. I hope you saw that and thats all I am ever seeing in every forum about this out there. My phone will not turn on. It died completely as I thought I had 10% left and it would last 30 seconds but it didn't. I plugged it in and it started charging and when it got to 30% i tried to turn it on and nothing happened. Let it charge more and nothing. Plugged it into the computer and pressed the buttons and all that came up was OMAP4430 which from what i read is something that looks for the bootloader. I have done alot as in taking it apart changing the battery thinking maybe its shot, tried also to directly charge the battery, all the buttons do nothing, taking out the cards and charging and pressing the buttons doesn't help.
I was thinking that the something happened to the bootloader... From what i read at least. Is it possible to boot the phone with the bootloader on the sd card?

If you use the USB cable (the original Motorola cable) can you see the phone under devices on your PC? If so, then you can probably use RSD lite or Matt's Droid RAZR Utility to reflash back to the stock ROM (do a Google search; if you have trouble finding the info let me know and I will see if I can find the links for you).

Have you tried reinstalling the Motorola drivers on your PC? I think you can download them from Motorola. I really don't know if that will work, but it is one thing I would try if I was in your situation.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2006391 .Looks like you tried to do same as in the thread... aka deleted bootloader. Currently there's no sollution except replacing board or you coul try to safe your phone using whirleye's post in same thread about OMAP boot rom code.

This morning I got in my car and plugged my phone in, turned on Waze and drove to work which everything was fine. I started to do some testing on my phone at work which was killing the battery so I plugged it in, but the light did not appear for charging. I tried plugging it into two different computers, wall outlet, and different cords. I tried a co-workers phone on my cord and his started charging with no problems both connected to the PC and wall outlet. I cleaned the USB port on the phone thinking their maybe some dirt and build up in there, but still no love. Tried simulating a battery pull, flashing a ROM, and doing a restore...again no love. So I am guessing either the battery or the port is bad, even though the cable clips into place and is not loose.
My question I guess is: I have insurance on the phone, but do I need to RUU the phone in order to get the work done or will Sprint not care? I don't want to RUU and not be able to unlock and root again, but at the same time....I need a working phone. Also, if I missed something in my troubleshooting that someone has had success with for the same issue, please let me know.
Here is an early Thank You for those that may have suggestions or advice.

Hey bud. First thing I would do is flash the latest stable TWRP for the phone. Then boot to recovery and see if it will charge.
If not, try flashing a stock kernel and see if that fixes the issue.
If it still has problems, I would be willing to bet it is hardware related be it the board, port, or battery.
If you are S=OFF, you will be able to root and unlock just fine. I don't know the carriers policies, but it's always safe to be RUU if you intend to do a Insurance claim. Make sure all your internal memory is backed up prior to flashing a RUU.
I found out the usb port on the phone is bad, but if I plug it in halfway the phone will charge. Thanks for the response and suggestion neo.

I've had that problem a few times too. Followed these instructions (found somewhere else) and it's corrected it every time:
1. Power phone off
2. Put on charger for at least ten minutes (does not appear to be charging, but that was the instruction)
3. Hold both the volume up and power buttons at the same time for at least two minutes (phone goes into kind of a boot loop)
4. Release both and phone reboots and charging works again
For me it fixed the "messing with the USB plug"
At least worth a try.

Sorry that didn't work. I always hate giving up, especially when it's usually a mess I've caused. Hahaha but anyway, if things are straightening out when I have issues, I go back and flash the stock android rom, I'm on Verizon and use the deodexed one in another post on here. Seems as though using the rom designed for the phone cures a lot of ills (imagine that). Again, unless your set on sending it back (personally I hate the hassle of that) I'd give that a try too along with doing the button holding thing too if just flashing the rom doesn't correct it. Good luck whichever you decide!

Well I ran an RUU yesterday and had no luck, until I found plugging it in halfway got it to charge. I have tried everything that I can think of along with neo and your suggestions, but the port is just bad. So I am hoping it will hold off until the end of the month when the m9 comes out and I am able to upgrade. So I will ride it out till it completely stops charging or I get a new phone. I do appreciate your suggestions and help though.

If you have insurance they should cover that... Also if your have Verizon the extended warranty may cover it.
