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.

I tried to upgrade to froyo using the odin method from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853950. After everything was successfully done my phone shut off and now it won't turn on. I don't get a battery charge screen or anything. The phone's just blank.....
First, Get the Shipping rom (pit and tar files) so you can ODIN back to stock
Be sure you have the newest version of ODIN
Then remove the battery, plug the USB to the PC.
Now put the battery back.
Press both vol keys (up and down) and hold.
That should get you in Download Mode.
If it does not work, take battery out, unmplug USB.
Put battery back and try again to go into download mode.
Now you put the wrong version of froyo, if your keys maps are changed you may be screwed
If so, good luck! You are gonna need a lot of research to see if you can save it
i think i'm screwed.....nothing is working
If anyone else could help me with this, it would be great. I'm in between a rock and a wall right now with my phone.
you flashed the wrong rom. You didn't know that, did you?

Hehehehe...I bricked mine yesterday. I disabled voodoo via Voodoo Toggle and waited for Linda to convert. I loaded up Odin and put in my pit & tar for JFD, which I always use, and hit start. I was on Nero v3 going to flash Nero v4 when it came out. I got a Fail part of the way through. The phone won't power on at all.....A popup says Windows can't recognize the device plugged into usb...
I think people are confusing things here and there...if your phone won't power on at all, you can't get help...you can't get into download mode to odin or recover it.
Like mine, for instance, there is no amount of times taking the battery out or doing this or that is gonna fix it..We need to read the post before we try to offer help...IF IT WON'T POWER ON how can people post ways to ODIN or RECOVER...
I'm just sayin....

Well right now I'm simply trying to get the phone to turn on which it won't, I was not asking for help to odin or recover. I was trying to ask if anyone else had this problem and if my phone is totally killed or if there's a possibility that i can save it. But thanks for your 2 cents.
Me too
I had ordered Samsung Vibrant Unlocked from T-Mobile USA around a month back. I am well past the 30 day replacement now.
I Rooted it updated to Axura 2.2.5.9
After all the procedure got completed, I rebooted the phone and now it just won't start at all.
My piece is Hardware Locked wherein I can't get into the Recovery Mode, but can get into the Download Mode. But I am not even able to get into the Download mode now.
It just won't freaking turn on.
If I send it over for repair, as the phone is a rooted one, will I void the warranty ?
Please reply quickly. I am starting to freak out.
OK... I want to be the first to eat my words here!!!!!
I tried one last time...just now
I took everything out and only held the volume keys. I plugged in the USB cable to the PC and then to the phone & put the battery in and BAM!!!!! it came on in Download mode
This way has NEVER worked for me without holding the power button. This phone was in all senses of the word "DEAD". I figured I would give it a try with just the volume keys.

Different Situation
I have a similar problem with my Vibrant.
I reset my battery stats and also disabled VooDoo lagfix, and after i tried to reboot the phone, it froze on the vibrant screen.
I tried using soome of the methods that you guys posted before me, but then after i turn it on it shows an icon that there is a connection problem between the phone and PC.
I CAN turn on the phone, is there a way to just like reset everything? and if so how?
Thanks!

If your phone powers on at all, you should be able to get into DL mode. Follow the instructions on how to revert to stock via ODIN.
In reply to the OP, if you tried the download mode method:
connect phone to usb
pull out battery
hold both volume sticks
put in batttery
and the phone still does not turn on even after multiple tries , well you're a bit screwed. But, Samsung cannot detect if the phone has been rooted if it cannot even turn on. Just tell them the Kies Mini update bricked the phone.
omg leave ur phone on charger for 10 min, pull battery out when hooked up to charger put battery back in , let sit for few min pull battery out hook up phone to computer hold vol up vol down pop battery in , helped ? np this has been answered gazilion times in other threads
btw it takes few try this way to get it back up running so dont stop on first , hey .
If you have the phone!pc problem..connect to odin & see if your showing a COM port .... just flash pit & tar if you do. Without download mode

You're talking about a DIY Jig. A JTAG is completely different. They cost $150-300. You can pay to have a local repair shop jtag it for around $50 or send it to Samsung to repair/replace. I'm still trying to find out how much Samsung would charge for the repair if it's deemed out of warranty.
If your phone refuses to turn on no matter what you do and it gets warm or hot if you leave the battery in it, read on:
I hope my suggestion is not too late. I was in the situation before. I tried everything everyone said here and somewhere else. None of them works.
The reason that those methods don't work because you cannot get to download or recovery mode or even the pc-phone screen since your phone won't turn on. The reason that your phone doesn't turn on because the bootloader has been messed up. A jig will work only if your phone can be turned on somehow.
Three possible solutions:
1. Repair or replace it with T-mobile, or
2. Get someone to repair it with a riff box or other similar tool, or
3. Get the box and fix it yourself (not recommended if you are not familiar with electronic stuff.)
This is the link for the same problem you have; this guy bought the box and has his phone fixed himself. If you live in US, he may do it for you if you have no place to go. It does hurt to ask.

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.

He didn't mean the battery got shorted out, he meant that the PHONE may have shorted out. I think you need to send it in to HTC for repair. It most likely needs a new motherboard. It's really hard on electronics when they get immersed in liquid.

thanks for the reply and the explanation. i bought the phone used so i dont have warranty. might as well start thinking about another phone. again thanks for the reply i was about to buy a new battery you save me afew bucks.
Hi all
My phone was shutting off instantly without any reason for couple of days and then I would turn it on. My battery was also acting weird. Sometimes when I turn it on it was showing 30% battery while before it was at 70%. Today, it turned off and wouldn't turn on. I tried Vol Up/Down+HOME+Power button and Home+Power button but it wouldn't turn on or go into recovery/download mode. When I put it on charge, charge symbol shows for a second and then it would turn off and then again on and off and continues forever.
Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated.
Either your battery is not accepting charge or is not getting any charge.
If you know someone else with an S2, ask to borrow their battery to find out whether your phone will boot.
I've a suspicion that you're going to have to replace either the battery or the USB charger port.....or maybe even both.
But the first thing to find out is if the phone boots with a 'known good' battery.
my wife says I'm a phone geek....
I'd have to agree......

Thanks a lot buddy for your reply.
An hour ago I put the phone on charge for about 15 minutes and the battery charging symbol stabilized. Then I pressed Power button and phone booted and was working fine. Then just to check, I shut off and it won't start again and came back to the same old problem. I would definitely battery from same phone and will let you know about the updates.
Regards,
Its a very weird problem. I have put the battery of my brother's SGS2 in my phone and the problem is same. Then when I put my battery in my brother's mobile then that mobile shows the same problem. After switching batteries many time, my brother's SGS2 with its own battery would show the same problem. In other words that mobile was dead also. Then I plugged out the battery from the other mobile and left it out for some time and plugged in again and mobile was ok.
After that I didn't risk to switch batteries again. I have the feeling that problem is not at hardware end. For some reasons my mobile's software is corrupting batteries. I remember to have re-calibrated the battery couple of days ago with software named "battery recalibrate". I am lost at what the problem might be and what to do anymore.
Pls help.

Just for the record. I discovered the solution to be ridiculously simple. Battery pins connection was loose and by just putting a foiled tissue paper at below corner of battery to strengthen connection of pins, all was back to normal. Ahh! it was such a relief.

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.
