Will not boot stuck in safe mode screen - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hey all, I have a phone im trying to fix for a friend. Im pretty sure he bricked it. It will not boot normally and is stuck in safe mode. I boot to recovery and load the rom he has on the SIM card but no luck. I just want to get this phone back to stock.
It loads to safestrap 1.07 Which after doing some research is quite old. Ive never worked with one of these phones so bear with me please.
Thanks for the help.

Small update, and bump. I havent had time to check it out myself but If I plug it into the computer and try to start it a White led stays on in the front of the screen. IT will not pick up via usb on my pc so I cant charge it or access it it seems. This is an XT910 as well

[Q] Phone stuck on LG Screen wont hard reset dosent recognize USB

Hi guys.
Two months ago i received my phone P509 Tmobile and with the help of this forum i succesfully rooted it, installed recovery, flashed new lag_fixed_overclocking_enable kernel and everything was working fine till two days ago when it froze. Now i can not hard reset it, nor does it enters recovery mode. Also when connected to laptop drivers dosent recognize it as connected to USB. I lost already any hope but still maybe some of you can give me an advice. I have been looking on ebay even for a board replacement but can not find it. Any advice guys before buying another phone?
Thanks in advance
Can you boot into Emergency Mode?
It is done by holding the back and volume up buttons while turning on.
No, It goes directly to LG screen and stay there forever. I have tried dozen times...unsuccessfully.
Thanks for you reply
make sure your USB cable is unplugged, pull the battery, put it back in and hold the buttons ilarrain mentioned. Hold the keys down hard until you get the yellow screen. This "should" get you into emergency mode, if not then I dunno...
good luck!

JUST CHK OUT THIS IT HELPS http://forum.xdadevelopers.com/showthread.php?t=883314
As long as you phone is powered on and you have the usb drivers installed on your phone, this should work. (my phone was forever stuck on the "Stick together" welcome screen and this recovered it.)
Download the V10L_00.KDZ file and the english KDZ_FW_UP program. set the mode to CS EMERGENCY, load the firmware and hit the button.
Takes about 10 minutes to force flash the phone.

[Q] Vodafone 858 bricked after rooting with Z4root?

Hiya,
I "permanant" rooted my vodafone 858 with z4 root.. and when it turned itself to reboot, it got stuck on the vodafone logo..! The phone won't load, and the vodafone logo repeditely comes up....
Does this mean that my phonen is bricked and I should chuck it away?? Is there anyway to fix it? Please help!!!
Its not bricked, its stuck in the bootloop. Bricked means doesn't turn on, doesn't vibrate, doesn't respond at all. Don't throw it away, try booting into recovery, possible holding volume down while turning the phone on. If you can load into recovery you might be able to flash a recovery rom. But since I do not own that phone, I do not know.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Hmm... I don't seem to able to boot into recovery.... I have tried turning the phone on while holding the power up/down but it doesn't seem to do the trick... is there any way to get into the system?
Use a jig to get into download mode. I have use that method with 100% success.
Once you get into download mode you can use odin to get back to stuck.
Here is the jig link if you needed:

good luck.
Oh... is there any other method other than jig?? It looks really complicated.!!!!!
well you might think it is complicated but that is the easiest solution besides trying key combinations to enter into download mode.
I build a jig yesterday to help one of my friend that got his phone soft bricked and I can tell you is not that hard. It's just 3 100k ohms resistors that you shape into a tear drop and then touch the two connectors on the micro usb closes to the phone jack... It can't get any simpler than that.
I now it might sound crazy but that is the easiest way I know.
good luck.
Sorry to resurect an old thread but i had the same problem and found this thread... I fixed this with a muuuuuuuch simpler solution... While the phone is looping the animation just user SUPER1CLICK to unroot the phone... the phone will crash when this is finished and leave u with a black screen... remove battery, wait a few secs and replace and it will boot just fine

[Q] vibrant boot issue

I have a Vibrant that I believe may have hard bricked when odin crashed/froze during last 10% of install and now the phone wont turn on and boot, go into download mode by means of jig, pressing both vol up and down at the same time as the power button or other various jump start methods, as well as wont go into recovery. I've just ordered a new break out jig and I'm curious to see if it will work for this or like my other jig be ineffective. The Vibrant came to me disassembled, and immediately upon reassembly I experienced booting issues with it. Sometimes it would boot up revealing the home screen before it would shut off and others it would barely flash the first splash before shut off. I'd see similar behavior when I attempted to boot to recovery, but then when ever the phone was in download mode it would stay on. I flashed it several times with odin but it would never really stick. The last couple attempts had shown promise when it would start making it further into the boot process before the attempt when odin froze during the install of the rom and I can only think that now it's hard bricked. Now that my friend has brought me his Fascinate that is showing similar characteristics within his phone, I'm hoping for some help with understanding whats causing these problems. His phone wont boot unless it is plugged in, however it will continue to function after unplugging the charger from phone. That just makes me think of the Vibrant and how it would only stay on in download mode, but the 2 situations could be completely unrelated in the cause of the boot issues, if you can please help.

[Q] One S Bricked? Won't boot

So I rooted my HTC ONE S (villec2) today, and I wanted to flash a custom rom on it. I got a recovery (turned out to be a bad one, but it worked either way.... I noticed way too late it was made for HTC One M8) I got TWRP 2.7.1.0 and I got it working on my phone. I then backed up the system, and realized I messed up the recovery. In the meantime I got a CM 12.1 img on it and wiped the thing. The wipe removed the old Android system and the CM I downloaded was a bad download. If I go to recovery in the bootloader, it will just do the HTC white screen with "Entering Recovery" and the red warning logo but it won't get anywhere. It's just stuck there. So now, I'm stuck with a device that won't boot normally - just stuck on the white HTC screen, will boot into bootloader, and I want to know if there's a way of accessing the internal storage without being in the operating system. The worst thing is, there's no external SD Card, all just internal... Please god help me. I'm really stressing out about this since it's the only phone I have and if I lose it.... well I'm practically f-ed.... :crying: I know that I messed a few things up really badly and I'm not sure what state the phone is in.
Also just to add, the phone is barely loading up right now. I'm really scared since it's my only phone and it won't even boot normally right now. It's really acting strange, it was on 90% battery but now it might just be dead... i don't know.... someone please help
I honestly think I screwed it up.... All it does now is just a white flash / flicker when I hold the power button (both only power button and vol down) and that's it. I'm really disappointed right now but oh well.... Maybe just because the battery is not charged.... Also been looking around the other threads and looks like a lot of people had the same issue but with 0 replies...

I have no way of trying the stock rom. I cannot access the phone itself because I deleted the OS. There's a weird thing, that if I plug the USB to the computer, it does the connect windows sound but the phone's internal storage is still not accessible.... So as it turns out I can get to the freaking bootloader but then it just turns off with a white flicker a second later.... I have no clue what to do :crying:
try to hook your device with windows and hold the Volume Down and Power
to see if it can detect it

Alright. I slept through the night and now I'm here trying to resolve this again. Status now, is that when I try to boot it up, it just shows a white flicker and won't turn on. no matter if i try to boot in bootloader or normally. The device doesn't appear to be charging when I plug it in because it doesn't show the LED light for charging. I think it's hard bricked. I tried other threads, showing bright light to the proximity sensor, but nothing happened.
//edit// - My bootloader was unlocked, and I was on S-ON (HTC ONE S, S3 villec2) that might change on your phone and might make the process different
So I fixed it. I will leave the tutorial for anyone in the future that might be having the same issue. If you "locked yourself out" of your system, eg. no OS, and broken recovery just plug it into the computer, try somehow getting into bootloader, go into fastboot and plug the usb cable to your computer so you're in Fastboot USB. Then you can flash a recovery on the phone using a fastboot command. I believe it's fastboot flash recovery _filename_. Just google that, there'll be plenty. Then you have the recovery and you're back on track. After that you can get the rom you wanted. Just don't make my mistake, and check if your device is exactly the same as the files you're downloading for it. I messed up there . Anyway, good luck everyone!
t
yea
Happy to hear that u have fixed your phone add "solved " to the title and add a fast tutorial for help purpose

METROPCS L7/LGMS323 - I need some serious help getting it back working.....

a friend gave me this phone because they couldnt get it to go passed the 4glte splash logo, and i know a lil about this stuff so they figured if i can get it to work i can keep it whatever....
anyway, I just cant seem to catch a break, ive chased threads of all different forums high and low......
Im wondering if anybody can point me out on a successful route to take, with the following info:
So regular boot, sometimes stays on LG logo, sometimes gets to the blue 4glte splash, and than just loads the first part of that logo on repeat.
I cant boot into RECOVERY, at ALL.
HARD RESET makes it all the way to selecting yes and than telling me RESET IN PROGRESS....but still nothing happens after 30Min+
DOWNLOAD MODE is accessable but I feel like whoever had phone lasted was installing some crappy roms and such because its not the original download mode for this phone, it says DOWNLOAD MODE, PRESS AND HOLD VOLUM UP UNTIL YOU ENTER DOWNLOAD MODE. .... Yes it says VOLUM, I dont see LG making that error...and plus i should alrdy be in download mode at that point....but of course holding it longer stil doesnt work.
So here I am , NO RESET, NO RECOVERY, NO DOWNLOAD, NOT EVEN SURE IF PHONE IS ROOTED, I THINK IF ANYTHING IT WAS A UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPT BY SOMEONE , NOT SURE IF USB DEBUGGING IS ON..... CANT GET PHONE FAR ENOUGH BOOTED TO BE ABLE TO HAVE ANY PC USB RECOGNIZE IT, THEREFORE I CANT ATTACH TO PC AND DO ANYTHING , IT NEVER SHOWS UP ON DEVICE LISTS....
So that being said.... is there anybody that might be able to point me out to a thread, or lend me some knowledge?
Thanks if youve read this whole post ! I appriciate your time!
