So, Just Last Night I Rooted My Friend's Motorola Droid Razr (xt912) and installed Cyanogenmod on KitKat 4.4. It Was Working Fine and All Until He Decided to Go into Safestrap and Wipe the Stock ROM That was installed because he thought he wouldn't ever use it. He Went Back to The Cyanogenmod ROM and Activated it, and Rebooted to System. When Booting Up, It Just Gets Stuck on The Red Motorola M. It Will Go Into the Boot Menu but We Can't Find a Solution. Any Ideas on How To Get This Phone To Work Again?

Yes download that utility and if you go into fast boot (power+volume up + down) and go to ap fast boot it will say either battery OK or battery low if it says low u will need a special USB cord or jump start the phone I can walk you through how to do that if you need me to hope it works for you

So Yeah, It Says The Battery is Low. Should I Just Let it Charge? I'm Using an HTC Cable.

If it is charging then yes let it charge. The problem is that it probably will not charge and you will likely need the special factory cable.
I have seen some posts where people were able to get the phone to start charging again without the factory cable. You may want do some searching if you are having charging problems.

Yeah You're Right, The White Charge Light Will Come on But It Will Just Not Really Charge.
I Tried Doing This- www . youtube . com/watch?v=LtA4OU2xha4 But Once I Click The Tools and The Motorola M Goes Away, It Stays at a Black Screen Until I Turn it Off.
Now, I am Going To Try This- www . youtube . com/watch?v=XwwI_6doBWk Which I am Assuming is a Factory Cable or Something Like That.

Soooo ....I tried to install the update from OTA and my phone is now stuck in a failed to boot mode /starting rsd services screen......anyone help me out real quick? This is my first MOTO since the star tac , ive been strictly htc since the mogul....im rooted other than that ive done nothing else to the phone.....
If it is "Starting RSD Services" then your phone is not bricked. Assuming you can't make it boot any other way, you can load up RSD Lite on your pc, connect the phone via usb, and flash the latest SBF which will completely reload your OS. Granted you are going to need the correct drivers to do this.
Now, I'm wondering if you've done anything to this phone prior to applying the OTA update or was the phone completely stock? If it was stock and you did not unlock the bootloader then I'd just return it to Sprint and let them take responsibility for it. Otherwise you can do the repair yourself but only at your own risk...
I've posted the basics below but feel free to click here to go to the actual thread which explains this. I recommend you make sure your phone is charged before doing this.:
RSD Lite and 32 Bit Drivers (Install the 32bit drivers if you are running a 32bit Windows OS)
64 Bit Drivers (use these instead are running a 64 bit version of Windows.)
Latest SBF
1. DL and install RSDLite and Driver package from link above
2. Power down your phone
3. On your phone hold vol up and power till you see RSD at the top of the screen
4. Launch RSDLite from your program menu on your pc/laptop
5. Press the “. . .” button next to the box labeled “Filename”
6. Load up the SBF file you extracted from the MR download
7. Plug your device into your computer RSDLite should recognize your phone right away if you installed the drivers from this link i provided
8. Press the “Start” button
9. Be patient...takes a while...will reboot a couple times so grab a beverage of choice...use the restroom...take out the dogs...whatever...
10. may require activation again...mine did so be sure you have a means in which to do so...web...phone to call sprint for programming...OTA...
11. Enjoy and hit thanks!!!
Don't thank me, thank Yay 4 Juggs, I took this from his thread. If you have further issues you should post them there.
yeahried to flash the newest update, but now all it says is failed to boot 2 at the top of the moto screen...... Idk what now...???
make sure you have insurance
why would i need insurance? this phone is less than a month old, and the thing dumped on me while flashing Sprints OTA system update.....pretty sure it is thier fault.......lol......
The sbf update failed? Pull the battery for a few minutes then put it back and press and hold volume down while holding the power button. Does it say fastboot?
Also, you are within your return period so they will probably take it back unless you unlocked the bootloader. I don't think they'll take it back if it says unlocked at the top when you boot it, if it doesnt say that it should be fine because Sprint is okay with rooting. I wouldn't tell them you attempted the SBF though, just that the OTA update borked your phone.
ok I got it thanks everyone.......rsd failed to flash because my battery was lower than 50% .......i charged it and it flashed the first time with no problems......i dont understand why you have to re register your phone after the rsd flash though.....Motorola Android phones are wierd
I'm glad to hear your phone survived. Yeah you definitely want to make sure your phone is charged whenever you do any sort of modifications to the system/bootloader/recovery partitions. As for the reactivation, its not bad once you learn your MSL number you can do it yourself without needing to call Sprint. I'm thankful your phone didn't brick. lol
My phone also was recovered after doing as outlined by Yayy . Don't go into RSD with a low battery or you WILL pay the consequences.
I tried doing this and my battery died... Now I'm not sure where to go from here. I either charge it from the computer and ONLY the green led lights up and then like 10 minutes later the phone automatically comes on and says failed to boot 2, starting rsd, battery too low to flash. Or I can plug it into my wall and the phone automatically comes on and says the same thing immediately. Which way should I do this?

You may want to look on ebay for a Motorola Photon 4G / Droid 3 Battery Charger for a few bucks/no shipping cost. Order the charger, rush shipping if you feel you need to, open the package, take the battery out of your phone, plug the battery in the wall with the charger, and wait until the light changes from red to blue/green and continue from there.

Sir, today i tried to root my DHD running android 2.3.3 with the advance hack kit. after going through the effinn manual i started the process, it completed successfully but once the phone booted.. all i got to see was the white screen with the green htc logo. i tried to root again after some time and now the phone got WORSE. Htc logo with 4 warning signs at the corner. I tried a lot of things.. and finally installed this RUU (official) through my pc...while the screen still showed same htc logo with 4 warning signs in the corner..
RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.72.405.3_R_Radio_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17_M2_release_161342_signed.exe .
Now my phone takes around 20-25 minutes to boot. and runs android 2.2.1 .
what do i do now? try n root the phone again with the advance hack kit or if i take it to the htc service center and ask them to re-install the software for my phone? or is there a way i can myself reset if to the factory settings?
Please. PLease help!.. this is deep mess.(for me atleast)

ThANk you for your help sir. but my phone wont go into fastboot i think. Because i even checked with root check pro and it shows that my phone isn't Rooted . Also.. if my phone shuts down and i have to restart it, i press the power button and my phone starts 20mins after that.
Also, the charging light still remains for 1-2 minutes even after i remove the charger.

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...
SLICED BY MY RAZR..

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...

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.

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:

When you get the droid with an exclamation mark press both keys and you'll be in recovery. There wipe cache/data. and try to restart. If it do not boot, you have to recover with Matt utility 1.8.1 if I'm not wrong 'bout the version.

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.

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"
