[Q] Ho do you factory reset with broken screen? - Motorola Droid RAZR

My phones screen is broken.
Is there a way to factory reset the phone from my PC (via USB)?
Or can anyone tell me the exact key sequences (how many times you hit each button) to factory reset from the boot loader? My phone is rooted but I did not do anything special with the bootloader (this is verizon)
Thanks.

rsd lite is your friend hopefully.

why not try connecting the hdmi to your tv and reset from there.

Does plugging in the cable automatically enable HDMI (or is there some setting that needs to be changed)?
I like that idea and will order a cable assuming it is automatic (and assuming the touch screen still actually works
Thanks.

Try a new USB cable I used a PSP USB cable for a while when my HTC hero USB cable stopped working properly. Just find some more USB cables and test them all.

You probably damaged the USB controller with ESD. You can try another USB port, but it's likely that all the ports are damaged (at least all the ports on that controller). Check the other ports on the PC. Most modern PCs have at least a couple of USB hubs built in. It is possible that a port on another hub or controller may work. Otherwise, you might be able to use a USB add in card in the computer if all the built-in ports are dead. They are relatively cheap if you have the slot in the machine to install one.

mount to PC is a known issue methinks. What is your current setup? Rom/kernel? and how are your settings? USB debugging set on/off? auto connect set to "ask on connection"?

Its common with the 2.2.1 roms. What you need to do is replace the vold.conf, and the vold.fstab files in system/ect. I have attached the ones you need. Just use root explorer and drop them in the ect folder, reboot, and test.

you should download toolbox from development section and the first option is to install drivers. once u run the program. install it and then test the usb cables. by the way i never charge my phone from a computer i like separate chargers so im using the charger for BB to charge my battery. its quicker as well.

Adapter HDMI

Hello guys i have one questions , because in house i have not WiFi and TV with DLNA but with HDMI and i found in net this accesorie Delock ADAPTER MHL(M)->HDMI(F)+USB MICRO(BF)
And it will be compatible with Sony Tablet S ?
I'm afraid not. The Tablet S doesn't support HDMI in any way.
I tried using the MHL adapter that works with my HTC Sensation but it freezes the tablet after some seconds and I have to reset it via the volume and power buttons so don't even try it.

XBOUNDS
Maybe Xbounds is a nice application which can replace the HDMI adapter. However it is not available yet. I got this information from the developer
"Bounds is not available for end-users yet, as it is not an app that can easily be installed on the phone.
We are talking to numerous cell phone makers and are confident that xBounds will become available by Q3 this year."
Maybe it will never be published for end-users as long as it is not integrated into the products of the cell phone makers...

Display Note on HDTV.

So I plugged my note in to my Samsung plasma tv. I used the mhl adapter that came with my infuse which I used with my infuse and it worked all the time. But it is not working with the note. Am I missing a setting or something? I am rooted with da g OC kernel but I haven't seen anything in that thread about this. So anyone have the same issue or could help me out?
Will gladly hit the thanks button fer ya!

Did not work for me until I plugged in the power into MHL. Then everything worked but the quality on the big 42" screen was not that good.
I have not ordered one yet, but I've seen other Note users say this PNY cable works good. It's the one I intend to order soon.

just need to plug the power into it too.
Thank you for responses but I did that as well. Just forgot to mention it. As far as I know mhl will never work without direct power supply. As I said this worked on my infuse and I have set it up the same way but no worky. Can anyone confirm they have it working?

The screen only supports slightly above 720p so I wouldn't count on it handling 1080 externally.

I think it will output 1080p video files just like Samsung's larger tablets and play them in true HD on a capable TV.
From what I've seen, MHL adapters are a bit of a crapshoot for the Note. I have one made by CableMatters that seems to work well, but sometimes it inexplicably doesn't.
I don't need it for YouTube or anything but I use my phone to dl californication from demonoid. Be nice and easy to just plug the note in and fly but what I've been doing is using es file exp to drop the video file on my network HDD and then stream from there to my ps3. Is there a more efficient way of doing this? (Besides paying for showtime of course...LOL)

I saw somewhere there was a process. I think it was to plug in the hdmi, plug in the power, then plug into device. I saw it worked for the poster but i may have the order off.

I agree, try it using the following steps.. HDMI from TV into MHL Adapter / Power from Wall into MHL / MHL Adapter into phone. if you hear the beep that the phone is charging, does not mean it made a connection with the HDMI side. if you get it connected there will be a 2 / 3 second delay between the beep and you will see something on your TV, also I have USB debugging OFF, seems to work better with MHL.
Edit: With my Adapter, I do not have to reboot the phone with the adapter in for it to work, it will auto detect whenever I hotplug it. I do have to mess with the connector plugging into the phone, seems it can be plugged in / detect power, but not HDMI, (Wiggle it

Did you try to boot into recovery? Push volume up and down and power buttons at the same time and hold this will take you to a screen where you can choose to reboot, wipe cache, ect

My power switch started acting funny yesterday. It won't work if I push it directly, but if I slide my finger up across the switch as I push it down, it will work reliably.
This may not be related to your problem, but worth a quick try.

This happened to my razr maxx last month and even with a factory cable it was toast. Go to droidrazr.com forums and search making your own cable out of a usb cable to jump the phone. Sorts like jumping a cars battery. You will have to take apart your razr though. Another reason i hate this phone doesnt have a removable battery.
It is removable, just not without the case being removed first & why did you create two threads about this?

If you had been paying attention to your own thread you would have noticed that the "Delete" comment was not aimed at the thread.
I posted then changed my mind about it so it was aimed at deleting my own post.
Same thing happend with my razr 2 weeks ago. I tried all things what I found on forums (incl. battery remove -yes, it is very simple- , factory cable, all type of key combinations) but without result. So I gave up and my razr is in repair center now and probably will get new motherboard. I've read somewhere on verizon forum that "rarely, but the cpu itself is crashing" and that could be the reason why the factory cable or battery remove doesn't help. I think this could be same as a damaged BIOS chip in a PC, you can push the power button but PC will not react to that.
If you want , i will buy your phone as it is , with its problem

G9 80 TURBO 250Gb HDMI woes

Mainly got the device to be using it through HDMI out. Has been working fine but randomly stopped working. Tried different cables same result, device seems to detect the cable as video mutes and screen size changes but no mirroring.
I know many users reported faults with hdmi out but any found any solutions? Already sent once for rma same reason and replaced unit. Can the device be opened and replace the port? Or is the entire motherboard attached and faulty?

Don't know what firmware you are running, but I can tell this...
The official Archos 4.0.24, 4.0.25, and current 4.0.26 (and any rooted firmware based on them) is full of all kinds of bugs. The only good working rooted firmware is the rooted stock Archos 4.0.7. Any of the other various firmwares have all kinds of things that do not even work at all. Anyway...
Try unplugging the HDMI cable, turn the table totally off. After you start it up again, give a few minutes for things to settle out and then plug in the HDMI cable again to see if it works. I've had to do that a few times (even with older official Archos firmware).
Im using the stock 4.0.26 fitmware. Tried to follow your suggestion, no use. Tried plugging in charger and out, same thing. The device detects cable inserted, but no output. It used to work fine before, the port does not look loose or damaged either.

So it is a hardware malfunction? I was hoping the miniUSB supports mhl video out, but I figured the 250gb versions dont.
Any way to replace hdmi port without replacing motherboard?
