I have had this Atrix 4g for about a year now and it has worked fine. I did a factory reset on the phone because I was giving it to my girlfriend. After the reset the phone would start up in fastboot (without me turning it on). While it was on i installed all the apps set up her motoblur account but once i needed to reboot the phone it would be another factory reset. Everything would be erased and it would fastboot again. I tried to turn fastboot off but I wasn't able to. I rebooted it a couple of times trying to fix it. Even tried another factory reset but using the bootloader (holding the vol - + PWR) and resetting from there. I looked for many solutions online but to no avail. Now the phone won't even turn on. When i plug it in to a charger the LED turns on (green) but it is completely unresponsive. I was running the latest software that was available for the phone (gingerbread 2.3.4 i think). I left it on charge for a day, and it wont work either. Right now I have it plugged into my USB and the green LED is on but it is completely un responsive. Any help or advice to what is going on?
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks

I read in some forum that the problem is the sleep of death. Sometimes i have that problem and the only solution is to make a combo of pulling out the battery and connect/disconnect the charge, suddenly it boots.
Some people said that the problem is that the atrix doesn't read well the level of the battery, but it's still surely unknown

I have heard about that, and I have tried that MANY times, at least 50+. Would it be worth it to buy a new battery perhaps or is it a problem with the phone itself?

I can't say that maybe the battery is the problem because i don't k ow the conditions of it, but you can try to charge it with an external wall charger and see what happens.
In my case i was sure that my battery was full because i charged it before the combo.
Anoter thing i noticed while the process was that sometimes my phone doesnt boot if it has the back cover on, i had to remove sometimes to turn it on, maybe there is a piece of hardware failing in ny device
Hello everyone, I am having a strange problem with my HTC Droid DNA. I searched around and cannot find this problem anywhere else. Last night I noticed my phone was off and figured it had lost all charge so I plugged it in to charge, left it there for a few minutes and turned it on again. When I turned it on, it displayed the white htc boot screen, then turned off again and rebooted again to the white htc screen (this goes on and on). The strange thing is that this happens only when connected to the wall power outlet. When I connect it to my PC it powers on and works fine until I disconnect it (it turns off again when I do that). The other problem I notice is that even when the phone is on and connected to the PC, it does not reproduce any sound at all (no ringtone, music, does not play videos, etc..). Also, my phone is STOCK and has never had any mods on it at all. It has android 4.1.1, software version 2.04.605.271ORD, KERNEL 3.4.10-GA02D2C6 [email protected] #1 SMP PREEMPT, BASEBAND 1.01.01.01 10
Has anyone ever had this problem or know how to fix this? I would be forever grateful if you guys could help me with this...

Troubleshooting the Phone : I Understand that you are not Rooted, locked, and s-on .
1- Call vzw tech support and ask for a replacement. But Do first before call VZW a Reset Phone*. ( setting>back up & Reset>reset phone )
2- are you with Verizon Wireless, if so you should be notified for a new OTA Update available (you are outdated with software 2.04 )
however it should not prevent the phone to run well.
3- Are you using the original usb cable when connect the phone to the power wall outlet ( have you check the outlet power supply if it is good)
4- are you able to charge your phone on your Computer through usb cable. (try different USB port)

You could always try this:
adb reboot bootloader > bootloader> factory reset
That might clear anything that messed up. seeing as youve never done anything to it, it just might work.

Yeap! but the guy is a new member, first post, he never touch, root or mod his dna so he will need likely with your suggestion the proper adb installation guidance to start using adb. so thought browser to him his phone is more appropriate and easy when the results are the same when you are DNA Stock.

Hello and thank you for all for your help. Just so you guys know, the phone does charge when plugged in to my computer, I am using the original usb cable and power outlet, I am not with Verizon or in USA ( I bought the phone through ebay and unlocked). I tried every solution that has been posted by everyone so far and nothing. I do not have such advanced levels of adb, but I followed the guide to installing adb and reseting back to factory did not work. The phone has 100% battery level but once I remove it from the computer, the phone screen goes black, I can tell the screen is still on but everything goes black, then the htc white boot screen appears, it goes black again and it loops between the htc white boot screen and black screen on and on. Is this a software issue? Or is it possible it might be hardware (since no audio is able to be played either)?

Could be a hardware problem, hard to tell, perform a Factory reset*
copy your media files to the computer before Reset phone
From a Home screen, select Apps ( Apps icon located at the bottom).
Select Settings.
Note If the app icon is missing, select App menu filter (located at the top) then select All apps.
Select Backup & reset.
Select Reset phone.
Note If presented, enter the current passcode or draw the unlock pattern.
Select Reset phone.
Select OK.
Note Allow up to 10 minutes for the factory data reset and reboot processes to complete.

Done all that and no success
I believe it's a hardware problem and the phone is probably under warranty so I would call htc tell them what's going on and see if they can help you out. It shouldn't be an issue.

Like I said before, I dont think I could get help if it were under warranty since i bought it used off ebay and have no receipt for it. Which part of the hardware do you think might be causing this problem? Maybe i could take a look and see the internals for my self...
..............................................
turn phone off and connect to a wall outlet then press and hold the power button while holding volume up and down and the same time for two minutes or until phone powers on htc says this can fix a magnitude of issues worth a try
I'll try that and will reply soon
thanks
it didn't work
Try this you guys. Turn off your phone completely and then just plug it into the wall charger. The orange charging led should turn on. Let it sit for about 2 hours or until it turns green. Then while keeping it connected turn on the phone.

I already did with no luck
how long have you had the device ? possible you bought a bad device unless over time these devices cant take the heat of the processor as this phone is beast and can easily die for heat or anything really a hard bump or fall can cause hardware issues
Hi All,
Had a standard Nokia Lumia 920. Did a reset on the phone and it got stuck on the gears screen, so I left it over night. Woke up to find phone off. Started it up and went to Nokia logo then the 3 network logo and then nothing so I plugged it in and downloaded Nokia software updater for retail and it started to update the phone. but failed about half way through, went to try again and now the phone will not turn on. I have left it all night plugged in to a wall charger. Tried power + volume down, power + volume down + camera trick and nothing, no vibration.
If I plug it into my laptop sometimes it will come up and say "USB has malfunctioned"
Has anyone got any ideas/suggestions.
thanks in advance
Crampo
Hold power button for at least 15 seconds, Other than that its a return to Nokia job.
I am having the same problem before then I switch to samsung galaxy nexus, and I work well all the time.
basic rule: if phone turn off because battery, dont try and try turning on because mighty be bricked... plug charger, (and if not turning on) wait 5 minutes and do soft reset (Volume minus and power button together)
if phone bricked use this solution

NCS or NSU for retail.. is same thing but NSU is easier and more for beginners
Similar Problem
I have the same problem with my Lumia 920 - RM 821.
Already tried all the tools of Nokia, but without results, no vibrate and no image.
My Lumia has stopped completely and I can not fix it.
Hi all.
I have a Nokia Lumia 800 which one evening I was powering off. The next moment I tried to turn it on, it appeard to be stuck in a boot loop or something. It vibrates for two seconds, then after a few seconds, a short vibration comes. This will go on in some kind of loop.
Don't know if the bootloader is trying to get the main FW up and running, without succeeding.
The local smartphone repair centre was trying a new battery and a new screen without getting it on. They simply wrote in their report "mainboard dead".
They did not have the possibility of flashing the FW.
Obviously the phone has some corrupt firmware and it needs to be reflashed.
Here is what I've tried:
I downloaded the Nokia care suite but it seems it does not support flashing a dead Lumia.
I also tried Nokia Software recovery tool, but it cannot connect to the phone - sometimes reporting "cannot read device" and sometimes "the phone is not supported"
I'm running Windows 7 and my PC. Does it perhaps require WinXP?
What can I do?
Thanks in advance, really appreciate it!
EDIT: I tried to follow the guide in this forum how to flash it with Nokia Care Suite, using RM-817 instead of RM-801.
But it seems I don't have the productfolders in this guide containing RM-801. Please help!!
Anyone know what I can do about this?

Okay, check this out:
First alternative, try a soft reset:
1. Turn off your Lumia, and press Volume Down + Power button until the phones vibrates and restart
Second alternative (you will lose all your content on the Lumia), try a hard reset:
1. Press and hold the Volume Down, Power and Camera key simultaneously until you feel your phone vibrates, then release the Power key and continue to hold the Volume Down and Camera key for a further 5 seconds.
Now your phone should start to return to the factory default settings
Last alternative (you will lose all your content on the Lumia), Chimeratool:
1. Try to install Chimeratool (https://chimeratool.com/downloads) on your computer, and make a trail account
2. Turn off your Lumia, then connect via USB, while pressing Volume Up
3. Try to click on "Factory reset modem"
Good luck!
Would you believe it, the chimeratool fixed my Lumia 800 !!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH Youngboy.
I didn't thought it was possible to save the Lumia without a J-TAG gadget or something.
Doing this by pure USB connection is pure magic.
And the phone kept all my personal stuff, pictures, contacts and so on. Great!
Again, thank you very much!!
My phone has the exact same symptoms, but even after doing anything you suggested it still does not turn on.
Is there anything else I could try or should I consider it gone for good?

I have exactly the same problem on my Lumia 800 (RM-801), that my Lumia won´t start when my battery is completely discarge by putting it in the charging cable. My solution is to first put the charging cable in the Lumia, and lett it charge for around 45 minutes. Then take the chargingcable out. Hold the power for around 15 second. Then release it. And hold it again.

in my case when the battery is completely discharge i put the phone in charge (when i plug the cable charges phone vibrates for 2 sec and 1 sec), no display battery red icon appear on it so i leave it charge usually for 5/10 Min then after i disconnect charger, press start for 2 sec and the phone boot... note: with official firmware WP 7.8 the boot sequence is ok but i think that little problem is a good compromise for have installed rainbowmod on my lumia ;D
My V30 randomly died today. I rebooted it and it never came back on. It's just completely unresponsive. I didn't do anything odd, so I think it's just a POS. My luck.
None of the boot/recover/etc button combos will do anything. I can plug it in to a PC and the PC will see the Qualcomm interface. Oddly enough, when I hold down power & vol down, it disconnects & reconnects with the PC, so the power button is doing something. I've tried a few generic snapdragon recovery things, but none worked
Is there a way for me to flash the factory image back to it? I can't seem to completely understand what I need or how to do it. I can't find a H932 firmware. Maybe I'm just not sure what I need. The Qualcomm software shows the phone in download and anything I try gives and error about not communicating with the flash programmer.
Maybe LG bridge?
Check the thread linked below:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/to-force-power-v30-stuck-lg-logo-t3729766
A specially timed sequence of button presses is mentioned there, which solver it for an otherwise semi-bricked V30.
