Exactly what happened to me.. I sent it over to my ISP and they fixed it..
I couldn't even get to recovery menu or AP fastboot. It was soft bricked so hard it only showed the motorola logo and then the safestrap upper screen for brief second before shutting down.
Do not install 3.73 or later version since they are broken and will brick your phone eventually.. this has happened 3 times already.

Can you get to fastboot? (Powerkey + volume up + volume down)
If so, you can use RSD lite and unbrick the device. I couldn't get there due safestrap flashing it's upper screen for second before shutdown signal though..

i can get to fastboot looking for the files i need now thinking i heard matts util would do it
can i just boot fastboot and use matts to flash jellybean again?
Edit: got into fastboot and used the updated version of matts util alls good again.
bricked RAZR XT910
Hi Guys,
Bricked my device trying to root it & add CMW
Tried factory wipe & reset but still no good.
Anyways, tried RSDlite 6.1.5 & appropriate ROMs from OPTUS but they get stuck @ "cdt.bin_signed " failed (step 6)
Apparently, there is a manual way of doing this
see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2483999
but can't find webtop signed
also 01.6.5.1-73 & 80 for Australia doesn't exist
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?
Thanks

I just recently joined the rooting community a few days ago. I started by rooting my phone with petes rooting tool, and then sbf'd the phone back to android 2.3.4 before installing boot strap recovery on the phone. I was able to successfully flash the cyanogen 10 mod, with many exceptions. The first of these exceptions is that the phones keyboard did not work at all (unable to active phone, unable to do anything really), so I decided to look this up. I tried almost everything except installing a new gapps which I was in the process of doing when I hit a major roadblock. The problem I ran into was that when I re-installed the bootstrap recovery on the cyanogen 10 rom to get to the recovery mode in order to flash the gapps file, the phone became stuck on the M (dual core) boot screen. I was however able to access the boot menu (power+volume down), and tried to sbf the phone back to android 2.3.4 so that it would hopefully fix all of my stupidity. Little did I know that this would just increase my unluckiness with the rooting process, and the phone now will not boot into the boot screen. When I hold down (volume down+power) the phone simply flahes a screen and then will do nothing until I pop the battery out. After that, i tried simply turing the hone on by holding down just the power button, and it boot to a screen which displays "failed to boot 2" and then below that "starting RSD mode". From this screen I have tried to sbf to android 2.3.4, and also to android 2.3.5 multiple times, and every time it pops up with either an error on the computer, or "sec_exception: febe, 4e, 4e" and then an error on the computer. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!! I AM OUT OF OPTIONS AT THIS POINT, AND AM STARTING TO PANIC! HELP ME!
Failed to boot, sounds like hardware failure
but you can try ezSBF, link in my list, might work.

im not completely sure why you sbf'd after rooting the first time? no need for that. i would read up a bit more if you do get it working, watch tomsgt123 's videos on youtube so you know what youre doing. and you used the Gapps for cm10.1 not our version. that is why keyboard didnt work. read read read.
after reading abain, i guess you were on 2.3.5. and thats why you sbf'd. but rooting was not needed before sbf. hope you have better luck next time .
flash will fail if battery is too low, should be a low battery error though, but maybe not every time.
if it is low battery, you will need a charged battery or a tbh programing adapter

Do you have any advice on where I should go from here then? My phone is basically a useless hunk of technology until i can get it to boot back into cyanogen 10, or sbf it back to an android operating system. The RSD mode always fails when I try to normally sfd, but i have not tried EZ sbf yet..... any other suggestions?

I can get into RSD mode, and the phone seems to SBF okay, until the SBF on the computer displays "failed", and the phone displays an error message. I am also using a fully charged battery during the whole process (my friend has the same phone so i swap batteries out with him to charge).

try ezSBF
if you can't get it to work, you can go back, try using rsd lite, and look for Driver issues
I'm using v40 of temasek unofficial cm11, Boefflea version 11 kernel.
while I was using my phone, the phone suddenly went into a reboot and started the boot-loop, even when I pull the battery out and put it back in it starts booting immediately and goes into the boot-loop , whenever I try to go into download mode or recovery mode, once or twice I will be able to reach it, but 3 seconds in, it restarts and goes into the boot loop again (I can't choose between restarting or going into download mode)
would a USB jig help me getting into the download mode or will it be 3 seconds in and restarts?
would a service center help me retain my data as I need them?
Thank you.
momentarily I've managed to be able to access download mode and the laptop started making a sound trying to identify the device, too bad the battery fell off (or the phone restarted) lol
anyways I still need help because I couldn't get into any of them
If the phone starts the moment a battery is inserted then usually the power button is stuck -try giving it a wiggle, or get it replaced.

yeah will do that once this gets fixed lol ..
for some awkward reason, I found out that once I pull out the battery I can use download mode
what should I download?
I tried flashing CWM but I get back to the bootloop ... should I install a newer bootloader?
No, bootloader is irrelevant to firmware. You would be best to flash a full stock rom with odin then factory reset and see if it will boot. I would suspect the power cycling may have caused partition problems if recovery got wiped.

which would mean I would lose all the data in the previous cm11 right?
I'm trying my best to flash a recovery but I think it got wiped for good.. I'm trying to flash it over and over again .. (I unplug the battery once I'm in download mode to prevent the sudden restart) .. before I flashed the CWM through odin I was able to go into a glimpse of a recovery mode, now I can't seem to see it at all...
is there a way to just copy the data (mostly pictures) through odin or adb with my phone current state?
Google says it might be possible

only through recovery mode or hoping your phone would suddenly connect after many boots lol
I don't think that will be my case .. oh well
as long as I can get my phone working again
going back to stock rom didn't fix the issue. can't access anything yet.
any help?
if anyone is reading this, I've been looking everywhere for a stock rom with pit file, I think that's the problem I'm facing since I have different bootloaders and different modes, somewhere around that I jacked my partitions and I think this would help putting it all back
I've found ones for android 4.1 but nothing of 4.3 .. since I came from 4.3 stock rom and then 4.4 kitkat temasek I think 4.1 won't help me at all
time to go to a service center I guess.
OK this is weird...
after I gave up I put my phone on a recover firmware that for some bizarre reason brought it back to life!!! I just put the phone back and left .. 5 hours later it was on and working.. I was able to access the phone for a brief moment.. but for some reason again I wasn't able to get the touch screen to work... I was able to raise the volume.. restart the phone.. but nothing on touch screen..
then it went back to the dead state...
any ideas?

Hello there. Since I'm new here I'd like to say hello to everyone
Today I got my RAZR and wanted to play with it. It was already rooted and it had a 4.1.2 android for it, but I didn't liked it at all so I tried to install MIUI. After creating a new partition (1) i had installed miui, but after reboot phone died - Motorola logo appears and it reboots. I looked for some info in the internet and I found about installing new, clean rom via fastboot. I downloaded SPDREM_U_01.6.7.2-180_SPU-19-TA-11.6_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRICSRTCEE_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot archive and tried to install it with Eternity Project, but after rebooting system does not start and android with red triangle appears.
Right now I am stuck and I don't know what to do. Could you guys tell me what should I do? The phone is RAZR XT910 from European distribution. Also, my Phone is being recognized as Spyder S.
Thank's in advance

When you see android with red triangle just press vol- and vol+ and find the option factory reset.
From your post I see that you flashed ICS Fastboot file,right?
Were you on ICS or JB before brick?

Well, as far as I remember it was JellyBean. I tried to flash it, but it didn't work at all. When I tried to flash the newest available soft for my RAZR it didn't want to flash (it was stopping at 1st step - when using RSD Lite, but when I used EPRJ flashing method, after reboot phone couldn't find any files copied to it's cache or something). Right now my battery is too low and I guess the only option is to make a factory cable, because it won't even charge.
And factory reset doesn't change anything: still the Motorola logo appears and then the phone turns off and sometimes reboots.
Is there any way I could install system via install update from sd card option? Or the only thing I can do is to try to install clean Android via RSD or EPRJ?

Okay. I downloaded the british retail soft, we'll see if it works. But will this soft have Polish language?
And the second thing: is there any way to charge the phone when in my situation? When I plug in the charger, white led only flashes for a while and then the bootloop starts - motorola logo appears and that is all. I have also tried the method with pressing vol + and - for 10 seconds and again, but this didn't work either. The only exit here is to make factory cable, right?

But another problem suddenly appears - my battery won't charge over 40%. Tried turning it off, but it didn't work.
Edit: I have had 50%, now I have 60. It looks like it's going up and changes after 10%. We'll see if it manage to charge up 100% battery.

Yo guys well it eventually had to happen someday. Well i will try to explain what exactly happenend.
I had the Sensation 5 Rom on my device. which means i was on 4.4.2 the CWM recovery is 6.0.4.7
yesterday i decided to flash back to the Revolution HD Rom which is 4.3 if im not mistaken... i didnt change the cwm recovery.
There were no problems while flashing and the Revolution HD Rom was working fine until today when i decided to boot into recovery Mode.
(My hardware PowerButton is defect thats why i took it out of my phone so yeah there is no Power Button on my S3)
Because i cant use the 3 button combo to get into Recovery i used the App quick boot and used the App to boot into Recovery mode.
Now from there on my Problem begins. The Samsung Logo appears then the phone boots into Recovery but only for roughly 1 second.
The only thing i can see is the circle with a hat in the middle (the logo) and the cwm version on the bottom before the phone shuts down and everything starts again...its kind of a bootloop only going into recovery mode for 1 second and then starting a new.
Which mena si CANT use recovery Mode and i ALSO cant get into Download Mode somehow... ive tried holding the Volume down button and Home button and everything but i cant get the phone into download Mode so yeah phone is stuck in that Bootloop which i explained above.
Do u guys think that a Usb Jig from Amazon would actually work getting the Phone into Download Mode? or is it a lost cause and i should start looking for a new phone? ^^
i would appreciate any answers a lot !
No one who can help? :/

Hello all!
I am back to see if anyone has any more ideas with what I can do to resurrect my LG G3. To recap, I tried to flash android 5.0 and I had forgotten to re flash the stock recovery prior to doing so. Long story short I completely botched the process and I am left with a LG G3 that can only access system recovery selection menu. When ever i try to just boot the phone by holding the power button, it shows the G3 boot image and then an error in the top left reads: "Boot certification verify".
From there, the phones screen turns off and the led flashes amber and blue until I pull the battery.
If I remember right, I need to find a way to re flash download mode but it has been several months since I tried to repair it..
Hope you guys can provide me with some input!
I linked a video I made of what happens when i try booting the phone below:

I had to do a warranty exchange through the insurance. It is not worth
The effort since we don't have fastboot. Got a brand new replacement.
Hope you can do what I did. Told them the truth that the phone
Would not boot up. Nothing else.

Totally would have done that had I not dropped my phone in water:silly:
Just pay the hundred and use the insurance, you can report it lost.
This way you can have spare parts.
You can also replace the motherboard. Sometimes you can get them
For 100.00 but I'm only seeing them for 150.00 on eBay.
Id like to hear that you can unbrick this phone but I doubt it with
No fastboot. Good luck.
Since it will boot cant you just usecthe lg flash tool thingamajiger and flash a .kdz
