I myself would just start over with a factory reset first to be safe. But that's me. And you are you so good luck!

Problem is, if I unplug the phone from the wall charger it dies instantly... I plug it into my lappy and I get a green light and thats it.... I'm gonna let it sit hooked to the wall charger for awhile and see if it comes up to anything... Thanks Mikey...

Hi.
I was flashing my phone back to stock gingerbread and after doing some verification and stuff my phone just went crazy.
The touchscreen clicks on everything by itself, sometimes it's so hard to unlock the pattern.
The screen is clean, nothing on it, nothing went inside the phone.
flashing back to any other ROMs wont work so im assuming that it's the hardware problem.
I was going to go to the verizon retail center and ask for the exchange but I already made an exchange from tbolt to x2, and now I'm wondering if I can get my phone exchanged for the malfunctioning.
Or any way that I can get this thing back to normal.
Thank you.
I'm sure that as long as you can reproduce the issue they won't have a problem replacing it with another X2. Just make sure you SBF before you make the exchange.
Well that's the thing.
It wont show up on rsd lite 5.3.1 with PC mode and USB debugging on.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i factory reseted by using the recovery mode. This is really annoying and driving me nuts.
As long as it's on stock firmware and SU isn't there or anything that requires root you should be okay.
Alright. Thanks for the comment!

if youre trying to sbf you have to put it on rsd mode...power off the phone hold power and volume up till it flashes and it should say ready for rsd protocol or whatever, from there plug it in to the computer and it should recognize it.
Mine was doing the same thing,only it was a random ocurrence throughout the day for like two weeks and it only happened in the middle left of the screen,flashed back to stock still happened then it just stopped doing it,weird

mine does this on the atrix rom but once I sbf back to GB it works fine.
Had this happen to me one time. I accidentally flash back a nandroid of a froyo backup. I was running P3's Pre-GB at the time, phone went crazy. SBF fixed everything, I was S***ing bricks when it happened though... lol
It also happened to me too. Bit it went away after I started to mess with flashing stuff to the phone like themes. It sucked, I thought I messed something up bad haha.

btw..
any new news on ya nandroid problem greenjeans? I mean MR greenjeans ..r u from the same area as me? Near claymont boothwyn Philadelphia etc....sorry for off subject...looking for the small world lol
I have had this happen several times when flashing. Just SBF back, wipe all data and cache and start over. It will go away! It seems it happened more when I took short cuts or flat out forgot a step, but it always went away after a clean instal. Hope that helps...
same here.... i do the sbf and a wipe (3X) and it always comes back for me
Sounds like you need an exorcism!
My wife's DInc had was also possessed. With her's it was a faulty digitizer and is a problem with many DInc.
More directly related, my DX2 does this about every day at some point. I'm running Eclipse v.6 FWIW. It seems to be a software problem as I can just turn off the screen and it goes away.
This happens to me on my DX2 with some ROMs but only when the phone is plugged in to the charger or the USB cable... Unplug it and it goes away... Really random... I have thought about taking it in but cant remember if it does it on stock unrooted or not... Might give it a try this weekend and if it does I may just get it replaced.....
It works fine after SBFing to stock GB.
lol i thought i f***ed up something bad haha
I might just keep using this GB until the eclipse .6 gets fixed up or something
Well I'm currently on .7 rc1 eclipse and its the best rom I've tried yet... And I've tried a lot lol

I have heard that if the wrong voltage is coming through the charger it can make it go nuts like that which can be pretty bad for ur phone.
Are u using the stock x2 charger or a replacement of some kind?
Mine says output 5.1Volts (850mA)

Im using the rocketfish wall charger for the DroidX so I would assume it should be fine... But the voltage is interesting because it happens when the phone is plugged into my pc or my lappy also..... and that is using the stock USB cable... If it were more frequent and on all ROMs including stock I would have had it replaced already... I'll check the voltage on that rocketfish wall charger with the stock moto one and see when I get off work later....
For some reason, when I go to flash a file in RSDLite 5.6, everything works until the program puts it into AP Fastboot. The program isn't able to recognize my phone and ends up displaying "The phone failed to switch to fastboot mode."
Any ideas?
Thanks!

I am having the same exact problem!! i was about to post a new thread when i found this.... hope someone can chime in and give us a heads up.
my problem is that i can only get windows to recognize my razr in bp flash SBF mode. it will not recognize my razr while in AP fastboot mode. no matter how many times i've tried. i have successfully flashed an sbf before.
since then i have removed and re downloaded the drivers just to be sure that i have the correct ones. thought it might be a usb cable so i switched it out along with multiple ports on the comp. i have no idea.
don't know if this helps but the only bootstrap i could use prior to bootlooping was razrbootstrap. cwmonboot would not work no matter what (which i had working once also) and i came from arctic rom where i also lost usb mode while booted. no options at all to connect to pc. thought that might have something to do with it.
i really hope this helps someone to point us in the right direction. if i don't find anything out tonight i am going to take it to verizon. thank you guys for all that you do!!

It was just about done, and I guess the battery got too low.....I'm screwed. It says it cant transfer because the battery is too low. Now im stuck in ap fastboot...
figured out my problem..... it wouldnt recognize my razr while in AP fastboot mode all because of me using a different cable. make sure you use the cable that came with the phone!! I thought i had the new cable but i was using an old one.
what a relief!! so that was my problem. if anyone experiences the same thing you know what to look for.
thanks XDA for somewhere to go to when i have a problem like this tho lol.
also have you tried to boot into AP fastboot then just hit the power button once. should just turn off the phone so that you can charge it on the wall charger for a while.

I went through a situation of FCs with my first Razr that VZW nor Moto could diagnose, and local Verizon replaced it with no questions asked. But I'd only had it for 9 days. Was told VZW replacement period was 14 days; but I never confirmed it.
I was able to unroot/factory reset though before taking it in. Your's might be questionable unless you have a good relationship with the VZW dealer.
IMO, if your way past any warranty period, I'd hold out for a factory cable or get someone experienced to build you one via the post above.
Good luck!

not if you've rooted, that voids the warranty & gives them an excuse to hide their corporate heajs in the sand, & force people to do without a full system backup b/c they don't have root…
also, it saves them fm having to support all the difftroms, patches, etc.
Hey,
I didn't feel like going through the trouble of buying the Motorola factory charger or whatever you need to charge the phone when it said *battery low* *cannot program* when trying to use the RSD program (might have spelled it wrong) to restore to factory settings. My battery must have been low and in the middle of the restore, it stopped and now Im unable to get to either recovery or charge it.
I had insurance luckily so I just got my galaxy nexus back and should be to me tomorrow. Do yall think someone will buy this phone like that? i have 2 nandroid backups on there so it's probably not safe to sale with that stuff accessible.. smh.. that's why i liked the samsung galaxy s and galaxy s 2 devices because you can use Odin which makes the phones virtually unbrickable. The phone's in PERFECT condition. Would be nice if there was a way around that man
how much? just curiosity...
That's why its always recommened to have full charge when rooting or installing custom rom. I hope someone here in the forum can help you solve this issue.
you can make one looks like here:

Yeah but you know when you're a frequent flasher and are sure it only takes about 10 percent batter at the most, you don't charge it to the max but I just made a boo boo by not reading the part that said *You must be running a the rom already before flashing the update portion*.. that caused the bootloop..
Thanks a lot though. You're right

Get phone in to ap fastboot and go down to bp tools and then press vol+.
Phone should reboot in to a sort of recovered state (last firmware that was on phone) and allow you to charge up.
Once 100% retry flashing.
I screwed my phone several times already and thought I wouldnt recover. Through some chat help have always recovered. Same for my Charge after a few times you figure out all the tricks.
You can recover it. I've done it twice
If you check out my post it shows you a alternative and easier way charge your phone again and make it back to stock rom and no root. Then you can sell your phone for a better price or just keep it!
Ill give you $150 for it...
Ill trade you a Samsung Charge for it. Seriously though you should be able to recover.

I'm trying to brick my device so i can downgrade to 1.40. Everything is fine up until the point where i have to pull the battery out and run off AC power without battery. When i pull out the battery the phone stays on like it is supposed to, but when i press volume + button to start update the phone immediately turns off.
I relocked my device and am running this stock rom. If anyone can offer some advice it would be greatly appreciated
Thank you
Are you using the actual HTC charger that came with the phone? I've read here on XDA that the stock HTC charger puts out a little more power than normal chargers. Also, you can't use USB via your PC.

I know right! Never thought I'd be mad cause i couldn't brick my phone. Next time someone says they're scared about rooting cause they dont wanna break their phone, I'll tell them they couldn't do it if they tried.
I think I'm going to go back to HTC unlock. The only reason I decided to downgrade my phone in the first place was because i wanted to flash Newtoroot's rls3 and was not able to get it running without losing service. At this point I think I can get that rom to work on 1.50 before i can get this SOB to brick, much less get through the rest of this damn process. If not, I'll just go back to rls1, cause i had that version running perfectly (bugs listed in OP excluded).
Good luck to anyone who's trying to do this...may you have better luck than I did lol.
Sincerely,
J

I had this problem where my phone would turn off as well..I was using a stock htc charger that came with the E3d. What I did was hold my charger steady because if I moved it too much the charge would leave. No I didnt have a shortage in my charger but it just read like that in the laptop. Probably because being plugged into the laptop or cpu it doesnt feed off enough voltage. Hope this works for you.
hey all! maybe someone can help me out. as of an hr ago i had to activate another evo lte we had for dev purposes . all i did was reboot into recovery and "Poof" instant black screen and phone is unresponsive. power button dont work up and down buttons dont work. and like i said the screen is black like no power is getting to the phone. i had a full battery when this started.
any help would be appreciated.
plug it into your computer and see if your computer tried to install drivers for QHSUSB_DLOAD if it does that means that your bricked. But you should be able to fix it using the tool below when running in ubuntu (preferably 32 bit otherwise you need to do extra stuff to download appropriate lib files for ubuntu) (you can run ubuntu from a usb, or full install but the tool will work in a virtual box)

Ok rom? Kernel? Any idea which base? And just because i gotta ask did you accept ota or did it start dling ota? One more thing u did try the "battery pull" right? Holding power down for ten-twenty secs then letting go? If so did capacitive lights blink or no?

would never take an Ota, running Miui JB, was playing around on it for a bit very very smooth.
aosp kernel same as cm10, paranoid and aokp. i wanted to flash an audio fix but never went to recovery just went to a black screen. Other phone we were using was fine with same rom and same recovery,and still no problems with the phone rom or kernel.
these phones have a built in battery, didnt know you could pull it.
and also i held the power button down for a very long time

The power button hold is the battery pull it simulates it at least
Your positive it was a jb kernel with a jb rom?
Did you use rom or root toolbox and accidentally wipe recovery by chance?
Thats what it sounds anyways
Best case scenario battery is dead and it charges and you can flash recovery thru fastboot. Worse case take it to sprint and play stupid customer and walk out with fresh evo and ask to be allowed to check hboot versions...yes theyll let you ive done it lol

It EVO might just be stuck try letting the battery run down and completely die then charge it might be worth a shot

I had this happen to me after a kernel install, when the Rom was rebuilding the dalvik cache...the phone just went black. I held the power button and it didn't seem like it did anything. I then held volume down and power and I got lucky I guess and it booted into the bootloader

Put the phone one the charger for 8 hours, even though the charging light don't come up. After 8 hours try holding power button again. It happened to a few people before, the phone went into deep sleep.
