Bricked Motorola Droid 3 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im sorry if theres already a thread for this but everywhere i look i cant find anything relating to my specific situation with my phone. I rooted my android using motofail and everything went great and i started deleting bloatware and screwed up and deleted whatever it is that allowed m to view my text messages and contact information so i download go sms pro and fixed my texting problem with that app but i could not solve my contacts problem. I looked around and decided id try an sbf but i couldnt get any of them to work and everytime i downloaded the motorola drivers for my phone an error screen popped up saying that i was missing solana drivers or something of the sort. So I game up and went to sleep the next day i woke up and went to use my phone and it wouldnt turn on so i figured it was dead. I plugged it in and waited for it to charge and after about half an hour it turned itself on but it only got to the screen where it says droid and then it would shut off and its been stuck in bootloop ever since. I tried to access the boot menu holding Power + M but thats not working either it just keeps botting up and shutting down. It does not ever register on my computer when i plug into the usb and it previously did. How do I solve this?
I have a motorola droid 3 XT862 version 5.7.906 please help me

Touch Pro abruptly stopped working; won't boot.

So here's a peculiar incident:
I have a CDMA TP with a stock ROM and a few basic apps I gathered from these forums and others. I've had it for less than a week.
Tonite, I went to check my text messages. Suddenly, the screen went black and the phone stopped responding. After pressing the power button and fiddling with the keys, I pulled out the stylus and did a soft reset. No response. Confused by this, I tried again, but still nothing. I removed the battery, and turned the phone back on. It froze at the "Touch Pro" screen with the rom/radio/etc info at the bottom. After repeating this a few times I decided to do a hard reset. So, I turn the device on and perform the hard reset. By this point the TP is only turning on SOME TIMES, and I have to take the battery out and put it back in often just to get it to start successfully. So, I finally get the device to boot up and it starts to configure WinMo. Suddenly, while configuring, it freezes. Now I try to turn it back on, and nothing happens.
Basically the device is stuck like this, shifting between not turning on at all and turning on but freezing at the "Touch Pro" screen.
So, my question is, what the heck is going on here? Has anyone else had this problem, or does this sound familiar to anyone? Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
p.s. Yes, the battery is fully charged.

Time to take it in and get a new one.....
Same problem here phone started b not coming out of lock mode. Backlight is on but no display on screen (if i tilt the screen left and right i can see light coming from behind) did about 6 hard resets and still same problem. also power button works whenever it wants to. this phone sucks @ss, i want my mogul back. on a second note my replacement will be here on wednesday.
Touch Pro stock rom purchased back in nov when it came out
yeah, i've had the same problem, i found if i hit my phone on the back or side and then batter pull and hit the soft reset while off, not the power button to turn it back on, it comes back on with color on the screen not just blank black screen with backlight, this works mostly every time, but when it doesn't, i just hold the power button down and do battery pull and hit the power button and it works, its like its got a combo of things you have to do before it works.. weird
Boot Up
I have also had similar problems. I for some reason sometimes have to remove my SD card and boot up without it for some reason. Not all the time, but every once in a blue moon. Not too sure how that affects anything, but you may try that too.
well i started a thread here ***help*** because i kinda have the same problem.
i downloaded some cabs, nothing fancy but i had some problems with a theme i downloaded. when i went to deleted i couldnt..... to make a story short, i took it to the sprint store where they tried to do a master reset/ hard reset and it wont take it. it wont do a thing... they say some important files are missing...
the phone works but not the way it should... the time on the home screen wont show up. and some other small things...
dont know how this happened but i would like to know... im worried about new programs to the phone now. ( getting a new one)
still want to see if i can fix this one.

Have you tried re flashing the ROM?
it wasnt HTC's fault for your phone's not booting...thats what happens when u try to mess with the hardware too much and you dont know what your doing
Would you want to sell???
Reboot Brick HTC process
****DOn't take battery out after hard boot***
1.just watch videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk56olMkCtU and do what they do but dont take battery out. LEAVE phone STUCK on BOOT screen. Nothign else will move or work but you want phone just like that.
2. connect usb cable to active sync. (this may not link up but leave usb connected anyhow) Do not delete phone profile.
3.use rom like Download MightyROM6_Herman.exe avail at: http://www.lilrico.com/Mighty/mightyromblog/?p=454
4 although active sync is still attatched but may not be connecting. It will connect thru usb anyway when you run the rom software. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV2I2WAFkg4&NR=1
This worked and kept phone from cutting on and off. and restored ROM. don't know about original htc boot. but your phone will work under this rom for now and you can go from there.
hey thanks plain ole dumb, it works now.
man I thought it was over.
thanks again

[Q] no cdma networks found? do i need to flash original rom?

I just bought a Motorola Droid 3 for my wife and activated it on Page Plus. I got it to activate successfully, was able to call out and receive calls, send and receive text messages, and everything else that you would expect out of a phone. After I activated, I went to settings>about>system updates, and a messaged popped up saying that an update was available for 5.7.906. So i downloaded the update and installed it. The phone shut off halfway through the install, on full battery, and didn't turn back on (I even waited about 20 minutes for it to power back on). So I pulled the battery, stuck it back in, powered the phone on, waited for everything to load, and the phone was SUPER glitchy; I could put my finger on one part of the screen and an application on the other side of the screen would pop up. So I did a factory reset, but that also failed. When the device was loaded, a message popped up saying "master clear error". And THEN a message popped up saying something like --no cdma networks could be found. would you like to switch to gsm?-- So then I downloaded rsd lite, the proper usb drivers, sbf .890, flashed it using rsd lite, but I still can't get the phone to find any towers!! Anyone have any ideas? I've exhausted mine and have spent a lot of hours on forums trying to find an answer.. google searching.. and haven't found anything that was helpful.

Droid Razr M apps crashing

Whenever I unlock my phone I get flooded with messages of apps crashing. I have a TWRP recovery mode if I absolutely need to restore. Earlier today my phone worked perfectly fine but when I got home I couldn't find my charger so I used a HTC charger to charge my phone, as the cable was the same. But when I turned it on I got flooded with messages of apps crashing and I couldn't even turn my Wi-Fi on or off, or many other things. I will post a video of my phone starting out and what happens, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's the video

Most of the messages came at the end of the video.

[Q] Xperia Sola strange symptoms.

Greetings reader. I'm new to the forum but have been viewing threads every now and then, so after having read plenty of times that people should search before posting. I have searched and didn't find what I was looking for, so that's why you can read this now ;p.
4 days ago when I was trying to browse the web in college I wasn't able to connect to the wifi network or even open the wifi settings, so I reset my phone only to find the problem persisting. As if something locked me out of the wifi settings.
I'm perfectly able to access any of the other settings, so I think it's kinda weird.
Shortly after I realised I couldn't get to the wifi anymore my phone started to reboot itself automatically. Ever since that first reboot it just keeps rebooting at the same pace over and over again until I either power it off or until the battery dies.
The phone also get's unusually hot now. Not like, super hot, but definitely hotter than any other time I can remember.
I also get error messages since the problems started saying: 'Process system is not responding'. I then get the option to either force close it or wait. Neither seem to do much if anything at all other than taking away the error message. Sounds kinda critical if you'd ask me.
But so after all these symptoms started to appear I figured I'd just do a factory reset and be done with it, but every time I go into the factory reset settings, I put in my lock screen pattern and then at the last step (pressing the Erase all data button) it just does nothing.
I can touch the button and it does give the animation that it is being pressed, but it just doesn't do anything.
The phone doesn't freeze though, I can still navigate after pressing the button only to see it reboot again shortly after.
After that I tried to flash the rom, but for some reason my PC refuses to show my phone's internal memory in my pcor any sign of my phone's connection at all.
I haven't tried it on any other pc yet, so it might just be my pc, though I doubt it is since it was perfectly able to recognize it shortly before all this started.
The device hasn't endured any shocks lately or expsure to water or whatever, so I think that's ruled out as well.
I am running the stock rom, 2.3 Gingerbread I believe, and the warranty is already way over date (I think. I'll have to check that).
Any suggestions as on how to determine what could be causing this, or how to fix it? Because I really don't want to buy a new phone xD.

Since you've not modified your Sola in any way.
Give this official method a try.
