hi everyone, this is my first post. Ive installed CM10 on my galaxy s3 and my partners xt910. so grateful for these forums and the knowledge everyone has.
my problem is with the XT910. It has safestrap loaded onto it. I had the stock rom and a copy of CM10 on it. I tried to change the rom, not sure what one as it was a while ago) and after following the instructions and rebooting it, the phone no longer turns on. no lights flash, no vibrations, nothing. Im sure this has happened before, but i wasnt able to find specifically the same problem through searching he forums.
The phone is AUS
cheers for the help.
nobody is keen to help?
Details would help. At what point the problem occurred first?
Did your battery had sufficient charge.?

ok so the problem started when i tried to reflash a new rom onto the XT910. ive noticed if i wiggle the charger, the white LED comes on then the Motorola logo appears. sometimes it shows the image of the battery charging at about 5%, then it turns off again. i think the battery had a fair bit of charge on it, but it was a while ago sorry for the vagueness. all i want to do at this stage is get it on and back to stock.
thanks
The battery drain indicates it could be stuck in a bootloop.

ok so how do i get it out of the bootloop? im not sure what your last sentance means
Boot into recovery mode, then plug your phone in to charge before attempting anything beyond this point. While your phone is charging read up on how to preform a factory reset. If that doesn't work you may have possibly soft bricked your phone. In which case you can recover using AP Fastboot.

If you're not able to charge it, you might need a factory cable to flash fastboot files.

Guys
I've been checking this site for a while now. I own a Motorola Razr Maxx. I bought it when it still had GB on it, then I put the ICS leaked ROM on it, but the battery didn't seem to last that long. So a few days ago I decided to root my Razr, put SS3 on it, and I flashed the D-Wiz rom. I didn't really like the flaws it had, so I wanted to try FTS. Now the last versions of FTS could only be installed with BMM. So I uninstalled the recovery in SS3, uninstalled the program, and then put BMM on it. I loaded the FTS zip in BMM, rebooted, but it gave an error while installing, so the device rebooted, but It won't boot anymore. I tried the volupe up, down and power button to restart, but it just boots to the dualcore logo , and then gives me a black screen and the red LED sign.
How can I boot again into my stock rom?
I'm on a mac BTW
Thanks so much in advance. I feel like an idiot, because I can't turn my phone on again.
I hope you have installed the Hijack for BMM after the Rom, so you can still boot into Recovery (There was definitely an warning about it) If yes restore your Backup. If you got no Hijack (on boot option) or backup, then you'll have to get to an windows PC and flash the right sbf for your Phones Region with RSD.

Edit: FIXED! I plugged in the power cable while holding both volume buttons, so I got into the recovery boot menu. I flashed the official SBF, and my phone is getting OTA updates. Thanks! I don't think I'll try custom roms again any time soon, especially when the standard ICS gives me great batterylife. Time will tell.
Id so give D-Wiz another chance. With D-Wiz and some battery management, ive got my year old stock Razr at 14-15 hours battery life.
Dont give up on ROMS just because you had to fix your phone, ive had to solder cables to provide power to a dead bricked phone and fastboot the system files.
ROMS rule, dont be scared. :3
Hello,
I am posting this question after searching and trying different things for about a month on my phone, and I am still standing where I started. I also ordered one of these active power cables from TeamBlackHat and atleast it brought me where I started after the battery died. Let me put things in a simple way
1. A morning, I found it sleeping (turned off) after I forgot charging it on 10% the last night. Charged it, but it stopped detecting my sim card on turning on and started rebooting every 2 min 10 seconds.
2. I am an android noob and have been reluctant of trying stuff with my phones previously. I got hold of MATT Utility 1.6 and 1.8 and RSD Lite package (the latest one)
3. Tried both, first flashed with RSD Lite. Flashes fine with the latest Spyder file, but the same issue. Reboot loop and IMEI not found.
4. Then tried MATT Utility. It restores with some errors and then it only gets till M logo on rebooting.
5. Also tried recovering from external flash from a file named Blur_Version.98.72.8.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip but in vain.
6. Now the phone is turning on, but reboots every 2 min 10 sec and IMEI and ESN can not be found.
I tried asking this on droid razr forum, but I think people are not much active there. I really hope that I find help here. Thank you guys in advance.

I have the same problem anybody know to fix it??? Help with this please!!!
Okay, I want to start by saying I am truly sorry if this has already been looked at. I truly spent 20 minutes searching and could not find anything that address this problem.
Im going to give you the long story because, I am actually really in need of help.
My friends owns a droid x2, ?.?.5 (sorry I cant honestly remember but, its the gingerbread ending in .5)
Her husband decided to root her phone for her, and it was in Chinese and only had a partial root. Frustrated she brought it to me because, well I have a working knowledge of google, this forum, and have flashed and rooted many phones.
I managed to change the language, and root the phone (using DX2_batchroot), I installed a custom recovery (its an apk ), I also think I installed the Recovery BSR (that will make sense in a second)
I booted into custom recovery, I made a backup. Then I went about wiping caches so I could install a custom rom. I wiped all the caches, I formatted the internal memory, and then I accidentally hit "boot now".
The phone gets the the "M" and says "Failed to boot 1"
If I try holding the power and down button it just flips off completly.
I cant scroll thru the menu, I cant get the computer to acknowledge its on.
It has been plugged in the hole time.
So what do I do, and what DID I do, so I never do it again.
Thank yo
Update
Since this happened I have left it on the wall charger and checked it out occasionally.
Well it still won't boot into recovery but... It is now willing to play ball when I press volume down and then plug in to the computer. Sadly it then tells me that the battery is too low.
Now, I *guess* it could be, except after rooting and before rebooting into recovery to make my first backup I had the phone off andplugg ed into a wall charger for 2 hours.
Again, any help you can offer
Often if ROM won't boot, charging does not work either.
Will need a charged battery, or a TBH factory cable adaptor.
See my low battery options in my list.

So, I started out by missing my alarms one morning because my razrmaxx was stuck in a bootloop... i've since gone back to an old Droid X to hold me over until i can figure out what's going on here.
Furthest i could get for the longest time was factory reset and wipe cache, but same result, phone would not boot past the droid 'eye' video (which played continuously until the battery died, i charged it back up and have been able to turn it off by performing a hard reset while connected to a PC)
in the last few days, i've tried flashing an official stock ROM for jellybean, but that failed, and bricked the phone. i got back to having a working recovery by using Droid RAZR Utility 1.82, which set me on 'stock 6.16.211'. immediately following that, i get the red moto logo, followed by the standing android with the dodecahedron spinning inside him (update screen) the progress bar below him hits max, disappears, then the screen goes black. phone restarts, red moto logo, then black... i'm pretty sure the phone is still on, because i get the 'connect/disconnect' tone on my PC... from this point, i've got all the recovery options, but i'm back at square 1... any ideas?

You should try the JB Droid Razr Utility and flash JB 4.1.2.I'm not certain with the utility verison but the system version you mentioned seems pretty old. I assume you were running the official 4.1.2, in that case any older build won't work/boot.

Thanks!! that actually worked flawlessly, and probably could have saved me a LOT of time if i had found that out a long time ago!
Glad It worked.

My Wife's Droid RAZR MAXX stopped working yesterday. We bought her a new phone.
I wanted to play around with rooting a phone and running a custom ROM. (Never tried it before, mainly since we need the phones to be 100% reliable).
Here's the catch. The phone starts up, and boots only to the Red Pulsing Eye / energy ball thing. The eye is constantly moving, but it never boots.
Most of the directions I've seen for loading a new ROM indicate I have to root the phone first, which means the phone has to be working.
I can boot into the special menus, is there any option for proceeding with the special menus, or is the phone truly a brick? (I have factory defaulted it about 3 times)
I also recognize the problem is most likely hardware, but didn't want to just throw it in the trash if I could avoid it. (We'll I'd recycle it..)

Hi Mike.
Can you get into AP Fastboot mode?
If you can, try reflashing using RSD-Lite, details here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1539192
I believe you have to first get your phone working with stock (manufacturer) ROM first before getting root and flashing custom ROM.
Good luck.
