IDK if you have access to, or are comfortable with doing what I did. That's your only option until you get that cable.

It's difficult to help when there is a lack of information for anyone to help you.
If you can't update with RSD lite, try RSD alternative:

If you have the factory cable, always use that when flashing.

This is how I did it. You need RSD Lite 5.6 and ROM you already have and, of course, pretty much battery charged (50% at list, otherwise could be a mess). Also, you need ADB installed on your computer in order to get the phone recognised.
Power down your device. Press and hold the Vol+ and Vol- keys, then press and hold the power button until a white screen appears and you can now release all three buttons.
Use the Vol- key (and ONLY the Vol- key) to scroll through the list. Scroll until “AP Fastboot” is highlighted and press the Vol+ key to select it.
Connect the USB cable to both your PC and phone. NOTE: At this time, you may see drivers trying to install but they may not all be successful (that’s okay). But your computer does need to recognize your Razr as a ADB interface device (if it does not, you probably do not have ADB configured properly and you will not be able to flash your phone.
Open RSD Lite and use the program (button to the right of the “Filename:” box) to open the .zip file containing your fastboot files.
When prompted, select the “Uncompress Only” button on your PC.
After it has uncompressed the files, ensure that RSD Lite shows “connected” on one of the ports and make sure that your phone shows “USB Connected”. If you are still not connected you may need to unplug the device and plug it back in (I had to do this one of the times I did this procedure).
Press the “Start” button at the top of the RSD Lite application and let it do it’s thing. Don’t touch the phone, don’t unplug the phone…just walk away or sit quietly and watch. This process should take approximately 15-20 minutes in total so BE PATIENT and just wait!
Once the steps have completed, your phone will reboot…JUST KEEP WAITING. You will see the stock recovery screen and it will need a few minutes to flash the factory ROM.
When you see the phone’s lock screen you disconnect the USB cable and close RSD Lite.

Here in this forum is thread "Low Battery charge in Ap Fastboot Fix". Might be helpful. Also, I remember the another thread here explaining how to make "factory cable" by yourself. Maybe the cable you've got is mulfunction.

Hey guys, I recently found an alternative way to fix the low battery problem when your in AP Fastboot and able to get it to charge without the soldering of usb cable or the factory cable. So for those who do not want to open up their razrs or pay 40 bucks for a cable use my method.
-Make sure you have the charging cable connected to the phone and the cable to an outlet not an computer.
-While in the ap fastboot screen with the low battery problem, just push & hold Vol - and Vol+ and power buttons at the same time for 10 seconds
-Then IMMEDIATELY press and hold Vol - and Vol+ for 10 seconds to get back to the boot menu.
-Then once in the boot menu go down the the one option that has the word tools on it which is the last one.
-If it does not do anything just press volume up or down and go back to the tools and click power (enter) again.
-Then you should be boot to the M logo.
-Then after a bit you will be presented to an battery icon charging your phone!
-After a good charge up to 50% or so download the program called
New Link
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/2248-droid-razr-utility-16-contains-612181-fastboot-files/
-Download that program and make sure your phone is back in AP fastboot and your battery should say OK meaning you can now program again.
-From there run the Droid RAZR Utility you just download it and choose option 1 and let it do its thing.
-Once done you should have the original stock rom and if you had root you must re-root it.
-Please message back for any questions! I am happy to help because I know how frustrating this is!

As long as once it is plugged in and the screen comes up in the AP Fastboot it will work. Just hold power plues volume up and down then once that turns off immediatley press the volume up and down and it will boot you right to the boot menu. But just wondering what shows up for you if it is not the fastboot?
I can't get it to work, after I select BP Tools, it flashes the Motorola Logo and goes back to the AP Fastboot screen again. I don't think it works if you formatted \System.

Definitely didn't work. When that m logo comes up, it disappears and the screen goes off. The charging icon does not show.
Sorry for the late reply but it is good to hear this method to work for jaredakelly . For those who are having problems did you have the phone charging in the wall outlet and not on a computer usb? The best steps is to choose the the tools option then just let the phone boot to the m logo then just leave it there on the wall outlet. Make sure you are using the Motorola usb cable that came with your phone and its usb adaptor that might make a difference.
I just tried this tut and it works as far as I can tell I am at the screen for battery charging but there is a big "?" in the center, the phone doesnt know what level its at lol..
I suggest you space out and make your original steps in bigger and bolder text for the specific buttons because I almost missed the power + vol down + vol up and was just pressing the volume buttons
This thread should be stickied!
Yeah sorry if my instructions were not to clear this is my first time posting anything like this on this site, but I am glad to hear it is working for you too. I don't even have this phone lol , it was my friend's and he had it stuck on the fastboot so I messed around with it and in the end this was the result.
yep
i think my battery is too low to attempt this i got it on 3 times and tried to fastboot restore but battery kept dying before completion so i guess im just screwed
no you should be fine because as long as the power cable is still plugged in it should work regardless of the low battery level. I did this on my friend's phone with 0% battery.

Not a very good success rate for being on the front page. I'm going to try it later, though I think that I tried something like this before and it didn't work. I know that I have read this somewhere else.
I have a strange situation with my Razr XT910, let me explain to you guys and please tell me what to do:
1- My Razr was on 2.3.6
2- I rooted it, but I cannot remember which method as I tried many ways and cannot really remember which one succeeded.
3- After rooting I flashed a 4.0.4 AOKP-GSM-J.Y.Daddy rom
4- I have several issues with the rom so I want to install another rom, so I tried Eternity project rom. It didn't work and gives me message "Installation aborted", so I gave up.
5- Decided to go back to stock rom, so downloaded the right SBF and RSD lite.
6- I put the USB debugging on
7- I turned my phone off and go to boot loader mod by holding Volume +/- and power buttons and go to SBF flash, connect the USB cable and hear the notification sound from my laptop. No message received from the PC saying installing device. Receive message from RSD USB connected and one clicked show device it gives everything N/A
8- Uncompressed the SBF and pressed start. Then process FAIL
9- Now, tried to turn the phone on, I have to go to to Fastboot mode and press power long then screen goes off. Then I press volume +/- with power again to go to bootloader mode then choose normal reboot to turn my phone back.
10- Tried the above steps over than 30 times for 2 days. Suddenly I discovered that my phone is unrooted when I tried to install any app requires rooting such as Titanium.
My ICS works fine with some bugs, I still wants to go back.
Can any one help me, I explained everything I'm going through.
Appreciated.

Hi there guys, first of all thank you all so much for the support here.
I have a problem with my atrix, i googled a lot before posting, but i still can't find a solution:
I have a atrix 4G, unlocked, was running successfully neutrino 2,8 version.
After 2 months of being (almost) fully functional, the phone crashed(i didn't do anything particular at that time, i think that i was browsing google maps) suddenly and now i have continuous boot loop, i get only the classic red dual core logo, with the "unlocked" notification over it, and then after 10-15 sec it reboots.
I try to open it with holding volume down, to enter recovery, nothing happens. It reboots again. The computer doesn't see it, in this case.
I reboot it with holding volume up, says "starting RSD protocol suppport", and pc sees it and i get the cling-clong sound of usb.
I would do the recovery using rsd, but i read that it is not for unlocked devices, is this so? What can i do in this case? Thanks a lot!!!

flasing a recovery is done via fastboot so you don't have to enter recovery but fastboot (hold power and volume down till it shows fastboot, then press up) .

hello i had this problem yesterday, it happens in neutrino rom to alot of people!
and btw i could not open recovery either
ill explain what i had to do
i had to use moto-fastboot and install a new recovery, basically your recovery is dead and your rom is unbootable
heres the steps
download the moto drivers and install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1381183&d=1349549067
then download the motofastboot zip http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1381414&d=1349555102
and create a new folder in C: (computer) called Android and then drag the files from the moto zip into android
Then download a new recovery http://www.mediafire.com/?6ww8wrjrdqq9m97
place the recovery.img into the android folder
now you have all the files needed to reflash your new recovery and fix your phone the whole idea is to reinstall recovery so you can access it and wipe and install the rom fresh again
now you need to do these steps
1) Attach your phone to the PC via USB (use a port closest to the power supply)
2) Reboot phone while holding volume down until you see "fastboot"
3) Press volume up to initiate fastboot
4) On your PC click the Start menu, then in the search box type "cmd"
5) In the command prompt type the following commands (no quotes, hit enter after each command)
6a) "cd c:/android"
6b) "moto-fastboot devices"
your CMD promt should show something like this
C:\Users\Me>cd c:/android
c:\Android>fastboot devices
TA20703SX9 fastboot
c:\Android>
now if that has all worked type the following phrases
moto-fastboot erase recovery
moto-fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.1.4-maguro.img
moto-fastboot reboot
now the phone should reboot, unplug the usb and pull battery out.
put battery back in and then try to boot into recovery like you normally would (power button + Vol Down)
and your new recovery should load!
from here you can wipe your whole system which i would reccomended as your current one is corrupt and install a new rom or reflash your current on onto a clean wipe. if you dont understand how to clean wipe do all of these steps, factory reset, clear cache, clean dalvik cache then go to mounts > storage and format data + format cache + format system
now install new rom and let it boot up, should bootloop a couple of times then start! if not unplug battery from phone and ask for further assitance

Thank you for your help, the problem is exactly here, i put on the usb, i power up the phone by pressing the volume down, and the phone does nothing,doesn't show the fastboot,and after 10-15 secs starts rebooting again. This is my problem!
The only response from my phone is when powering up, and pressing the volume up, it says "starting rsd protocol support"
Is there any case that my volume down is dead?

unplug usb
remove battery, then put battery back in make sure phone off (no green light)
then hold power button and vol down at the same time for a few seconds
Fastboot should appear in white writing then press up volume and it should say starting rsd protocal or something similiar
then plug in usb and follow the steps i have written above
i do exactly what you said, but doesn't show fastboot. from switched off, if i press volume up with power button, i see the message "starting rsd protocol support" .but no fastboot option!
Is there any chance that you can access adb after bootscreen? than you can use "adb reboot recovery" to get there...

When i start up phone, the only combination possible to stop restarting is by pressing power+vol up to show that with RSD. There is no other option then selectable. Power + volume down does not work, doesn't show anything, has anyone of you experienced this thing?
If the only working option you have is RSD, then I'm afraid you're stuck with having to flash a stock SBF. I hope you know/remember exactly what stock version you had installed before any modding or flashing, because the SBF has to match exactly. Choose wisely and read up as much as you can before flashing.
I have over a year now with custom roms, and i can't remember which version i had. Why do i have to find exactly the version that i had? The latest stock version won't work with rsd? It will make it hard brick?If i manage at least to recover the fastboot menus etc it would be great!
I will later also try to open it, to see if the side button "volume down" is not working,.
I have another question, in your moto atrix, if you press on startup power+vol up, are you also seeing the "starting RSD" etc option??

Yes, flashing a wrong SBF will most likely hardbrick your device.

Can't try right now, but as far as I know, yes, that is a standard way to enter RSD mode.
thank you, so, i know that at least my phone responds to some instructions.
Is there anyone else to suggest me to do anything else?
IN rsd mode, (other than flashing a stock random rom with chance of hardbricking,)the phone can be read by usb, can i do anything there?

Sadly no. The RSD mode can only ever be used to flash SBFs. That's it. Nothing less, nothing more.
I will now try to open it to see if vol down is not working well. If it does work, i will select a stock rom 1 year old and i will flash it using rsd, and whatever happens....:good:
I disassembled the phone, the button seems to operate fine(?).
I flashed with RSDlite the 2.3.6 version, the RSD stuck to waiting for phone to restart.
The phone restarted, the "unlocked" logo disappeared.
Starts normally, passes the red motorola logo, shows the graphic of AT&T, and after ~10sec starts restarting again. Bootloop again!
At boot, pressing power+vol up, i can still get the RSD support. Pressing power+vol down does nothing, I don't see any error messages, like the ones in hard brick.
What can i do now, any ideas please!!!
try this

Yesterday I had a hard time getting my phone into fastboot mode, after loading a bad SV kernel,it only wanted to start the RSD protocol mode. I eventually got into fastboot by plugging into the wall charger, then removing and installing the battery while holding the vol button. When fastboot appears, unplug the charger to allow sd access.
Thanks for the suggestion, i tried even this,it didn't work. The funny thing is that it shows the battery charging level full screen if i connect the charger, as it starts.
I noticed also that when i press vol down now, it takes longer to start and continue to the moving red logo, it stays for a while stable red,feels like it is thinking whether to start or not lol (if i don't press vol down, on the power up the red moto logo immediately starts the classic "waving" effects)
Anyone having any kind of suggestion?I guess you don't, right?
I decided to do a factory reset on my rooted SGH i777. When I did the factory reset, the phone was plugged into my computer. Now when I turn on the phone I see the Samsung Galaxy logo and then the screen goes black (no backlight) and the phone is completely unresponsive. Is there any hope to save my phone?
US variants have their own specific fora, your thread belongs here. I've asked mods to move it for you, sit tight until they do. Generally speaking (and this is the only advice I'm prepared to give you as I don't have your specific device, but the advice holds true for all Samsung phones), if you don't have download or recovery modes, you're probably boned.
I'm sure other people will suggest a few 'longshot' things you can try which might have a very very rough chance of working when your thread gets moved to the right place though.
I'd say there is a fairly good chance...
Can you boot into download mode? If so, then it's very likely. Just flash the stock firmware with Odin. You can download the necessary firmware file from the Download Repository. If you need any additional help, just ask.

Generally, a hard bricked phone is one that exhibits no signs of life. If there are any signs of life, buttons light up, boot screen appears, screen flickers, etc, then it is not hard bricked, and is probably recoverable. But first, you need to get it into download mode.
If the phone is hard bricked, you can get it back with jtag repair from a reputable shop such as Mobile Tech Videos.
There are several ways to put the phone into download mode. You should try all of them that you can before you give up.
Recovery mode:
With the phone off (and not connected to the computer), and battery installed, hold all three buttons, vol- vol+ pwr continuously until the initial boot screen appears the second time.
Download mode:
1. With the phone off and connected to the computer via USB cable, and battery installed, hold all three buttons, vol- vol+ pwr.
2. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- and vol+ (but not pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.
3. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- (but not vol+ or pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.
4. Attempt each of the above three options with the battery removed from the phone. The computer will supply the power to the phone.
5. Use Android Debug Bridge (adb) which will only work if USB debugging has been already turned on in Developer Options, since you can't boot into the system to turn it on. With the battery installed and the phone connected to the pc via USB cable, use the command "adb reboot download".
6. Use a USB jig. With the battery installed insert the USB jig into the USB connector of the phone. Some have reported that this method works when no other method would work.
Thanks for that fantastic explanation!
This worked for me:
2. With the phone off and battery installed, hold vol- and vol+ (but not pwr) while plugging in the USB cable.
Now, how do I fix my phone with download mode?
Do I need to put a factory firmware image back onto the phone? It currently has rooted firmware that was working perfectly fine until I did a factory reset.
I would suggest that you flash the latest stock firmware, I777UCMD8 (Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean) which you can download from the Download Repository. After flashing that you can root using the Framaroot application using the Aragorn exploit.
If you want custom firmware, once rooted you can install either Mobile Odin lite or Mobile Odin Pro and flash a custom kernel which has ClockworkMod Recovery. Following that, you can flash any firmware of your choice.
To get you started, and in case you need them, here are the directions for using Odin to flash the stock firmware (copy and paste):
How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:
Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85 (recommended). It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.
1.) Open Odin on the Windows Desktop.
2.) Have the USB cable plugged into USB port on the computer, but *Not* plugged in to the phone.
3.) Shut the phone off.
4.) While holding down the vol+ & vol- keys, plug micro-usb plug into phone.
5.) In Odin, you should get the yellow box under where it says ID:COM with the text 0:[COMx], and in the Message area, <ID:0/00x> Added!! where x is some number, usually 1-8.
6.) In Odin, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked and all other items are not checked.
7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.
8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.
9.) Click the Start button.
10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.
11.) Once the flash is complete, the phone will reboot into system.
Thanks!
With your help, I was able to recover my phone. Thank you! I will be using stock firmware. Last time I had my phone rooted, it was so slow it was unusable.
Samsung Galaxy S 2 AT&T
Jellybean
Rooted about 3-4 months ago
The phone was fully charged and on the arm of the chair in my peripheral vision. I saw the Samsung logo come on and since then nothing has changed. I can't go into any mode (vol+, vol-, pwr). Cable connection to the computer shows no response that anything is connected to the computer. I took it to AT&T and they said there were issues with the last update that caused irreparable issues. (Of course they want to sell me the latest and greatest) I got a new S 5 but I would like to pass the S 2 to my daughter. I didn't lose any apps, pics or data. I just want it back to stock + rooted.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Just to be sure, are you holding vol +, vol -, pwr until you see the samsung logo the SECOND time?
It isn't always necessary to wait the second cycle, but it ensures that the key command is correctly registered by the phone.

I tried again making sure to release all buttons when I saw the logo the second time. I also tried again releasing the pwr button only. Nothing is working.
You need to see if the phone will go into download mode. There are several ways to put the phone into download mode. You should try all of them that you can before you give up.

Okay. I was successful using option 1. However, I installed the SIM card (for my daughter's phone) and it has been stuck on "Downloading..." for around 6 hours or so. Should I have downloaded a stock OS or something? Is it waiting for me? Is it pulling the factory default OS OTA?

Sorry I didn't include more information in my previous post. Putting the phone into download mode just lets us know that the phone can be recovered, but it doesn't do anything by itself. The process of recovery is to use the Odin program to install a fresh stock firmware onto the phone. Since you appearantly are unfamiliar with the process, I will explain in detail.
First, download the stock 4.1.2 Jellybean Full distribution, I777UCMD8 from the Download Repository. (link in my signature) It's the next to last item near the bottom. The downloaded file is in seven-zip (.7z) format and you need to extract the contents using an archiving program. The resulting file, which will have a ...tar.md5 extension, is the file you will use in step 7 below. Also download Odin3 v1.85. There is a link near the top of the page in the Repository.
How to use stand-alone Odin3 to flash firmware:
Follow and recheck each of the following steps. Do them in order listed, as some steps are dependent on previous steps. Instructions are for Odin3 v1.85. It should work with any version of Odin, but some details, like color of items, may be different.

7.) Click on the PDA button. Browse to the tar file you want to install and select it so its path appears in the text edit box next to the button.
8.) Make sure the check box next to the PDA button is checked.
9.) Click the Start button.
10.) You should see the green progress bar advancing.
11.) When complete, you will get a PASS (or FAIL if unsuccessful).
Since you are unable to get into recovery mode now, you may have to enter recovery after the firmware flash is successful if it won't boot on the first try. Use the instructions earlier in the thread to enter recovery, and perform a wipe data/factory reset.
Once you have the phone up and running, Framaroot with the Aragorn exploit is the easiest way to root.
If you need further help or instructions, feel free to ask.
