Hi, I had a car accident this week.
The screen cracked in several places and the led was blinking red.
It would not turn on, the 10 sec press of power button + volume down button did not restart the phone.
When I connect the phone to the computer the led turns white!!!
The file system on the computer does not see phone when connected to the usb.
Anybody knows the meaning of white and red colours leds?
Also, what would be my options of reviving the RAZR?
or how to extract my contacts and photos from the device? how to make the PC read it as an external device?
many thanks!
are you able to boot in fastboot?
does your screen show you something or stay black?
could you explain what you did step by step and tell us what your phone do
Blinking red is low battery, white is charging when powered off.

thank you for the answers.
how do I boot in fastboot?
the screen does not show anything.
it does not respond to any buttons now and only when I connect to PC white led is on...
maybe I should try to connect it to the wall plug?
blinking red is interesting as I am pretty sure the phone has enough battery before the accident...why would it suggest low power?
could it be that battery broke inside and leaked?

To get to boot menu, Pwr & vol +/- at the same time then select fastboot by selecting with vol- and enter is vol +. But first try the wall plug to see if you can get a charge on it. With the wall plug you should get the battery symbol with a watery level indicator.

for the god's sake..
it isnt power button + volume, its -volume + power button
ok, I have connected it to the PC - the white led comes on.
I then hold the volume down+power buttons for cca 10 secs - the white led goes off, but nothing appears on the screen.
is this a 100% proof that the screen is dead?
I believe the white led blinking means that there isn't enough power going through the charger to power up your phone. Can't remember where I read that however.

Hold down screen lock button and down volume button for about 20 seconds and then the light should turn off. It should turn on, the phone, or you can put it on by hold the screen lock button.
do this while plugged into the wall, not usb
I wish it was that easy,I try holding power nd volume up then down and vice versa to no avail. I also have my phone plug into my wall charger. If anyone helps me get my phone turn on and charge I will donate to your PayPal asap.

Try a different USB cable and plug it into a USB port on the computer. This isolates the USB and the Moto charger to make sure they're not the cause.

Try holding both vol up and down together, then hold the power button, so 3 buttons are pressed at the same time, and hope something happens.
Any of this end up working for ya?

The white led means you're out of battery and conected but not charging. This happend due a rom flash error.
You'll need a Factory Cable to put a new firmware on it and then charge after that

He said he was unrooted running stock, so that couldn't have been the cause

If you got it from Verizon you still have manufacturer warranty, return it.
Had this problem myself, white light, couldn't charge, tried every trick there was. With stock cable, this is how I got my phone to charge:

Phone so sharp, I sliced myself.
I got this many times when trying to charge my phone via USB on my laptop.
I held vol up/down and the power button like Nikorasu recommended and the light disappeared and the phone gave me the "DUAL CORE TECHNOLOGY" screen, looked as if it was going to turn on and then the light turned back on and the screen went back to black.
*UPDATE*
I left the phone plugged in for a long time and I came back to see the white light off and the phone *on* and charging. How nice.

Plugging it into the usb port of a laptop is not enough. I've had cases where I plug my phone to the computer to transfer files and the battery level actually dropped.
Use the Razr charger.
Thanks!!!
I didn't know this handy reset feature, until my razr froze and turned into a paperweight for the rest of the evening.
(thought maybe I wrecked it with some new 'root only' apps)
The reset worked great and runs fine.
Only get Motorola logo after 3 hours of charging
Hi,
I'm new to Droid Razr's and I have a Maxx that is doing this. I tried the (volume +/-, then plug in) option and phone has stayed on Motorola screen for a few hours. No go on the charging screen. Not sure if the Maxx I got has other issues. I've used a motorola usb/wall adapter and a Motorola MicroUSB from a Droid X dock that is supposed to be a faster charger.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Victor
My Maxx is in a similar situation. When I plug it in the Motorola dual core screen comes on and then it goes to the safe system screen where it asks you to touch menu to enter safestrap or search to skip. After touching either button the screen just goes black. Sometimes when I plug it in it will show a red battery at 0% then immediately jump to 5% and then after a moment or two it shows a blue battery at 100% but still won't turn on... When I plug it into my laptop though the screen stays black and the white led is on. Do I need a factory cable to fix this or what? Thanks in advance for any help.

Exactly! ...I have this phone and the EXACT same charge problem, white light, phone dead has happened multiple times. My galaxy s3 charger won't fix it....no other usb charger works. Every time I must use all oem chargers and I solve my problem. Why? I believe it is because the razr maxx's larger battery uses a slightly higher charge voltage. (5.1v vs. 4.5 v to be exact) ...look at the charger specs. After leaving on the oem charger for some time, it never fails to boot.
I have an Atrix that I bought from someone.
Here's what it does: if I press the power button, the green light comes on in the corner for 2 seconds and then goes back off. Nothing on screen.
If I plug it in via usb, the green light will come on for 15 minutes like it is charging and then go off. No screen action.
If I plug it into a wall charger, it says "Failed to boot x1000" Entering recovery, battery too low to flash.
Now I tried this with 3 different batteries, same result. Anyone have any clues?
seems a hard brick ... like here but if the battery plugs from the cell doesn'st seems to be working u gonna to try with warranty or think about buy a new phone... hope u can solve ur problem
Leave for 24hrs on charge if still not work then its borked

Hi everyone,
i've got a HTC One X+ and wanted to install CM 11.
Everything was fine while flashing.
After last reboot i left my phone on my desk and was still booting.
I think there was a bootloop so my phone went out of battery.
Okay, so I plugged it on a charger and the red led is blinking 3 times, then nothing happen.
After this 3 times of blinking there is no response of the phone.
No reset (power and volume) or tipps from searches (hold down power up + down 2 minutes,...) are working.
The phone doesn't make any things, no more singns are given in anyway.
Is the phone destroyed? Or is there something I can do?
Its charging. 3 flashes mean its too low to boot

It's charging for many hours but no other reaction...
What to do?
Everytime I connect the power to the phone it's only reaction is flashing the led 3 times and then nothing else...
Okay, now the phone was charging the whole day and night. No reaction.
Can it be the battery is dead?
Try to press the power button right after you start charging (when the led blinks 3 times). You can also try to hold the power button for several seconds. The buttons should start to blink. Have you tried to connect your phone to your computer?

I tried to connect the phone with the pc but there is no device found. The only reaction is the blinking of the led for a short time.
Pressing the power button and plug in power -> no reaction
Plug in and press power button -> no reaction
Holding power button then plug in power -> no reaction
Plug in power and hold power button -> no reaction
And after those 3 blinks, the red light turns off?
I'm not an expert, but if there is nothing you can do then I doubt if there is any other solution than repairing it by a special service. But those 3 led blinks means still hope...
After blinking 3 times there is no lights coming on and nothing else.
I think I will send it to repair...
Thanks for all help

Sounds like it could be a corrupt bootloader?
Things to try
Press the red 'off' button beside the sim card, then charge in a A/C charger for several hours, then see if it will power on
Do the above but dont power on. hold down the volume down button while connection to a PC
Do the above but press the 'red off button' while holding the vol - button while connected to the PC
These last two we want the LED to turn blue for 1/2 a sec then go out (Flash Mode)

USB cannot recognized.
So what i gonna do?
The only times I've seen a blinking red LED (with and without a cable plugged in), is when there are issues with the bootloader. I've accidentally locked my bootloader while being on a custom kernel a couple of times, and I've gotten this exact behavior.
What was the last thing you did with your Ultra?

I didn't do anything. My phone no root and locked bootloader. And now the led is continuous (red led, yellow blinking) when i'm charging. cannot do anything with it.
Sorry my English not good.
I would go to a service center, if i were you.
Yeah, I would probably send it in for repairs too since I can't really tell what's going on.
Yeah i already send it to service center

Probably, the phone fully drained its battery power. (Cuz of red notif led).
Plug your phone and let it charge. Check the LED if changed color to yellow

Can i ask if fastboot works (pressing power+vol down) and try to reset it. And boot it again.

Try other methods too on that link.
Dont forget to plug your phone, charge it about 3 to 5 minutes.

It begins turning on if i press long enough, but instantly shuts down because no battery (i have it connected to the charger). When i turn it on on fastboot mode it just gets stuck there with that rabit fixing an android robot image and doesn't do anything else...
