[Q] Hard Brick XT910 - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hi, I'm probably not the first to inquire but my search has turned up no real results.
My RAZR XT910 has no recovery system after i once stupidly replaced the stock with BMM and later BMM got disabled while i was trying out the Paranoid Android ROM.
So now the only activity my phone gives is the 'M' logo for a few seconds when i plug it in to the wall.
So, what I'm asking for is if by some magic there's a way to fix this.
In the case of other phones I've heard mention of JTAG but nothing I've been able to find seems to be what would solve my problem.
I've pretty much come to accept that it's a paperweight now, but I justed wanted to know for sure, is it so?
Thanks.

*bump*

look at my post
look at my post
i think its same problem

Thanks a million.
Ended up having to make my own fastboot cable, but it worked!
My beloved is working again.

Factory cable Works as a power supply? Its that the problem, cause i opened the Phone and took and plug the wires directly to the +|- terminal, then i get battery ok, etc. But, not a single pc notebook Or whatever is able to recognized fastboot.. So, Factory cable could fix this? Or is the sale that i did, Just a power suplly to have "battery ok"

Bad flash - Dead battery fix?

I attempted to flash ICS onto my Razr Maxx, but the battery ended up dying. The only way to get the phone into a boot menu is to have a wall charger plugged in. I've done this, and selected "BP Tools," but it just stays on the Motorola icon for hours, never charging the phone. I also tried the "flash" option, and got the same result.
I can still enter into "recovery," and have tried throwing several different operating systems on the SD card. Every time I "update from .zip," the installation fails.
What can I do to charge the battery at this point? I don't have a factory cable, and don't understand why the BP Tools trick isn't working.
Try to boot normally while you are plugged in wall charger..!
And then charge it and flash it with RSD LITE with proper fastboot file I mean
check it properly that what region and gsm or cdma file is it, if u dont flash it properly it will show you validation error...

As soon as I plug the phone in, it goes to the Motorola logo. When I enter fast boot mode, it says battery low. When I try to charge using BP Tools, it just stays on the Moto logo, never actually charging. It appears that I have no OS.
Since I can enter recovery, is there any zip file I can put on my sd card to load up an OS onto the phone?

Guys have you tried reset factory or wipe cache in recovery...?
If its not working man then you need a MOTOROLA FACTORY CABLE..
its very easy to make, I made one for myself and thts how I recovered my razr from this problem...
Best of guys..

How do you make the cable? I've wiped cache and factory reset. That's not going to do anything since there's no OS.

Is there any way to put a zipped OS on the sd card and then go into recovery and load it?
None of the charging hacks are working, and the only reasonable fix seems to be getting an OS on the phone.

I got mine fixed* I took it to Verizon and played dumb. They replaced it free with a new RAZR. They said that it could have happened when the OTA update took place. Worth a shot Moose. Just play dumb :-D
Didn't work for me. I'd just like to know why the hacks aren't working.

I learned that sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. I had a similar issue over the past few days. Ended up pulling the back cover off and just charging straight to the terminals, and it really was very simple.
bought the cable on ebay delivered for ten bucks. took a week to get here from China and then an evening to use Matt's droidrazr 1.7 option 1 to ready the phone to charge and flash. Spent days looking for a file to flash from the card and other alternatives.
Order the cable.:good:

[Q] Possibly Bricked?

Hi, I believe my MoPho is bricked and was just trying to see if there were any recovery methods so that I would not have to send it off and lose files I had stored on my internal SD card. My problems started after I left my phone on the charger. I came back to see that it was stuck on the bootloader screen and wouldn't go any further. I was running j0kersax's MIUI ICS build and hadn't had any trouble with the rom prior to this. I've tried entering fastboot, rsd, and android recovery through the vol down+power method, but when I do it always freezes; either while I am scrolling the menus or waiting for it to boot into one of the aforementioned modes. At one point I was able to get to fastboot, but when I attempted to enter it, an error message came up saying something like "the battery is too low to flash", so I attempted to charge it. However whenever I plug it into the A/C adapter it simply starts up and stays on the boot loader. So is it possible to recover or is my photon a vegetable now?
Maybe you should SPF back to stock. You can find the release keys anywhere. This video is helpful: :victory:

thanks for the suggestion, but I can't even get the battery to charge so that I can even attempt to do this. I've accepted the brick and I'm just going to go to Best Buy and order a replacement. Thanks again.
I have the exact same problem as OP. Right now, my battery is dead, so I can't flash anything to help fix my problem. My theory on how to get this working again is to charge the battery or borrow someone elses battery so there's enough charge.
Anybody think that'll work?

I've tried a battery swap and now it won't even power on. I've yet to order a replacement, so for now I'm on an Evo.
I am kind of having the same issue I tried to flash CM10 just a few moments ago and it wont flash!?
I have flashed CM7 to my Electrify before and was trying to flash over that. Now my battery is dead, I can't boot the phone at all.
What do I do!

[Q] Mv systemtuner -> out of /sys into user apps. PLEASE HElp

Hi, please please please help... I guess im an idiot. And i "sort of knew" what i was doing....
I moved system tuner into the user apps out of sys and immediately got errors almost back to back as everything on my phone crashed, i tried desperately to navigate back and undo the process before the phone died but i failed and now im really scared its bricked.
I cant reboot its stuck on logo (no animation)
I cant safe boot (stuck on logo and says "starting rsd protocol.
Please is there any thing i can do, any way to reverse this, i was just gunna go into safemode and move it back. Do i need to flash over a recover? Can i even? Im so scared its bricked
I also have super user installed and i set it to auto allow but after the move this was changed? Default set to no when system tuner app asked to switch and that messed it all up?
Please please please help, sorry if this is bad section im not sure why my acnt is "new" its yrs old and ive even helped some noob programmers on here in the past, yes noobs can help noobs
So even if u have ideas let me know... Im scared
Android 2.3 moto atrix
Edit: yes im rooted, no custom roms. kay ima just sit here the next seventeen hrs waiting while i surf the web, thanks so much to anyone who even reads this! Ive done so much worse learning to "program" for android. I mean i cant believe i didnt brick it in the past, these things seem unbrickable (hope).
Edit2: wow this is gunna be a long one... Zero finds online... Zero :/ i tried taking battery out for a while didnt work... Not sure what that does anyway... Reset some kind of voltage dependent cached info?
Edit3: going to try to put this in a more appropriate section. Sorry i didnt mean to put it here :/ grrrrrr sry
You could boot in recovery and perform what's called a factory reset. That will factory reset your device. It should work as long as you got a recovery of some sort. Not sure if it will affect your root status but since your stock and rooted, you could just reroot.

Omg!!! Fuuuuuuuudnuts! Anything at all not related to recovery
Also any help on that factory reset? I have two copys of backup of cellphone. One on pc one on phone. I have titanium-backup on phone (i had it frozen using system tuner)
But... I have absalutly no idea whatsoever what to do... How do i even get this atrix into recovery? Ill go check but if u no offhand pls tell me. Also if anyone knows the exact problem i am need to know, because something this simple shouldnt require a recovery!!!!! Plus im not even sure that will work (( so if anyone knows wtf happened please tell me
Funny hpw the brain works... I was gunna make backup before doing this... But the extra 10 mins was too long ((((( anyone know a way that involves only flashing? From what i know two types of flashing exist and one lets you edit by bit which means maybe i can just move over a file? Im not sure what im talking about or which technology is used/or mainly used in the android. Anyway i will do a recovery if i have too but im gunna wait few hrs.
I think ii found a way using cwm.. But i dont have that idk why ........Its amazing.... New phone :/
Can somebody please help i tried factory recovery still no success ((
Im guessing its bricked... Which is pretty sad because the technology should let me fix this i want to know exactly what happened... I moved one app out of /sys that i put there ((((
I can enter android recover mode and nvflash and some others that i dont understand.
In android recovery i tried factory reset data and clear cache. Both of which should solve my problem.......
Im baffled it didnt work, should i buy a sd card and load my backup from pc onto it and select it in android recovery as backup? I always thought adb mode was merely flashing reprogramming read only parts of memory... I hence thought i could just use nvflash... I read alot and i still dont know if i can.... I know technology allows it... But.... I found this ?

[Q] Htc Nexus one hard bricked?

Hi there!
This thread is my last hope, so please dont let me down folks...:cyclops:
The story short - one sunny morning i turned on my HTC Nexus One and it got stuck with te X on the screen for about 15 minutes, non of the buttons responded, so i did the first thing that came in my mind - i pulled out the battery. After inserting the battery the phone went full brick, i mean literally, no reaction on anything, even conected to the wall charger, there is no sign of life, no charging LED, nothing. Connected to the PC, it says USB device not recognised.
I dont think this is a hardware proble, the phone workwd fine until this interrupted power on. Phone runned on stock Androud, i have not played aroun with it - no bootloader unlock, no rooting.
I searched the internet for a solution, tried a lot of button combinations like in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069032
but still no luck, i cannot restore or flash it while my PC does not recognise the phone.
Found some info about those Usb Jig things, but they work only on Samsung phones, so, is there a way to force the phone to go in recovery mode, or give any sign of life so i can try to recover it or flash a diferent ROM?
The warranty has ended, so no hope there.
Hope there is a way out of this, and, sory for my bad english. :good:

Well no, bricked is a term used when you are rooted and flash a bad rom,kernel,etc. You have no root, so you cannot be "bricked". Just a software failure, you cannot flash another rom because, again, you have no root or custom recovery. Your best bet is trying to send it back to your carrier and get it replaced

The warranty time is out, so there is no help from the carrier, unless for cash...
But there must be a way to bring it back to life.

Now the screen may not show, but try booting into fastboot mode by press and hold the Trackball+Power buttons together.
I'm not sure about the nexus one, but newer nexus devices have factory images, supplied by Google. If they exist for the nexus one, you should be able to save your device by flashing them through fastboot. That is if the images exist and you can get to fastboot.

Help, I'm Screwed.

hey all, as you know i was trying to port full sense for desire x dual sim community. ive already searched for custom ROM for desire x dual sim on that Chinese market community web site..no luck there wasn't any full jb sense ROM for dual sim dx.
so i ported it myself and to test it i borrowed dx dual sim from my friend.
so it goes like this. my friends dx dual sim was perfectly stock and n wasn't rooted. this morning i unlocked its boot-loader and it all went so well. within 5 min i unlocked the boot-loader and after that i flashed recovery which i founded in previous threads, it said that the recovery was specially made for desire x dual sim and was posted here on xda from that Chinese forums. anyways i flashed the recovery, it was miui using fast-boot and then i flashed superuser package and rooted the desire x dual sim. it was factory rested and it rebooted i saw superuser in the menu and i was quite happy. but then in order to flash the rom i ported, i had to change the recovery as the miui recovery wasn't taking backups. so i changed my recovery to twrp, made by nexus_prime in a few threads back. i flashed that recovery and everything was good till then. after that when i try taking backups from twrp recovery it says failed. i was sick of trying again and again but no luck, then twrp recovery suggested that i should install super su in order to gain root. i said ok install it and then my device rebooted. i saw super su app there and also not to forget i was already having super user installed cause i was rooted. the super su app wasn't working it said updating binary and then it said failed. i uninstalled it thinking its not gonna work for me. after i uninstalled it, i rebooted my deice to fast-boot in order to change my recovery back to miui.
i powered desire x dual sim off and then boom, **** my damn device is not turning on now, ive already tried looking for solution online and ive already tried changing battery and pulling them off and on but no luck damn it. when connected it shows orange led and then cpu vibrates like 5 times every 3 hours later. it doesn't boot neither it gets into boot-loader.
some body please tell me soon what wrong i did and what am i suppose to do now? and some one (@xpirit) said that desire x dual sim cannot be bricked if its s -on.
what should i do now. ill be in big trouble if my friends find out what happned to his device.
someone pls help me out ASAP.
thank you

please i respect youre help but ive already said i aint a battery or charging problem, its annoying to see that kind of solutions - pull battery out, let it charge or unplug and plug it ..etc . all these are really not helping, i think my boot loader or something like that is erased and thats why its happening. i want a fix to the solution, any help is always appreciated, except the stupid battery or charging things.
thanks
lol, you dont even know half of what you are talking about.... you tried to port roms, before even learning rooting and flashing basics, and you tell him his solution is stupid?
Its true, you cant mess up the boot-loader so easily.... its just that you have tried to flash SU binary from TWRP, which is not good.... just boot to recovery, flash a superuser-arm-xyz.zip avaialable on androidsu.com or something, then you will get it booting. Otherwise, if you have mistakenly wiped system partition, then you are out of luck and you will have to take another desire x, root it, take backup, copy it to sdcard and then use it restore system on this phone.
Next time, read read and read more before this kind of experiments.

PLEASE, TRY.. to read carefully sir.
i said desire x t328w is completely dead, DEAD. i cant get into recovery not even into boatloadER. nothing happens when i press power button or try to go to the boot loader. its like it has no life. only sign of life it shows is when it is connected to the charger, the orange led lits up and hence and that only thing which changes in this device.
please, if i could go to the recovery id solved this issue by my self rather than troubling you all. ive been searchinh for this kind of problem over the internet some says it cant be repaired by flashing or etc.. some says cpu is faulty etc. i dont know what wrong i did.
also i didnt flash super user via twrp
i flashed it via miui recovery

Hmm Yep your Screwed... Looks like it's time to Buy Your Mate a New DesireX
yes, BUY A NEW PHONE (See, i didn't advise to charge battery or something.)
OnTopic:
I happened to have the same issue once on my desire bravo.... and guess what solution fixed it???? (CHARGING IT) coz its battery was SO LOW, whenever i tried to power up, it flashed leds.
Calm down and think, also can you post what you have tried ? Did you let it finish charging ? Tried plugging into pc ? Etc etc, might have to lend your mate your phone ps wtf you testing stuff on your mates phone for ? Best to use your own, if yours is the same take a backup 1st, also dont bother trying recovery go for bootloader 1st once you can get into that rest will be easier, worst case senario you will have to pay someone to fix

Thanks for your sensible answer mate. But I'm afraid you don't know maybe that i cannot access boot loader nor does my phone says a single word. Also I've being charging it for more then 10 hours. Nothing happens when connected to PC. worthless. I'm screwed and i learned a lesson that never to mess around with someone else device even if other says it 'cannot be bricked'.
Thank you all who help and also who really put me this situation.
btw now his desire x is resting at HTC, i don't know what will they say as for now i told them nothing about rooting and all other stuff i tired..

It is common problem with this phone.
Simple cure - pull out the battery and let the phone stay without charger and battery during an hour or two.
Then it will be OK again, but until next power off.
I think the problem is in custom recovery. I have the same problem with friend's phone. But it's working well without power off, so I don't want to mess with it again
Disconnect Phone from charger.
Press the Power button.
Connect the Charger while the button is pressed. Phone should start.
I've done it several times now, main reason being, battery was not having any charge.
Never mind guys it was the motherboard which was really screwed. I don't know what really caused it but the only thing I'm aware of right now is that it'll cost a lot

Yeah they're extortionate prices for HTC's, in the past I've just scrapped phones instead of getting them repaired when they have motherboard or problem relating to charger port.
