Hy. I have a razr Maxx XT910. Today I tried to restore a backup of a partition that I made with safestrap to my stock partition. After restoring was finished, I reboot my phone and it will not start anymore. I can not go into recovery, the only thing that it does is: if I long press power button the red Motorola logo appears for 5 sec. and the the phone does nothing, it shows like it is turned off.
Any suggestions?
I tried volume up + power, volume down + power, volume up+volume down+power but no luck. I do not have any more buttons to push .
Edit1: I manage to connect my phone to rsd light (with my screen still off) and when I tried to flash a sw I get an error 'The phone failed to switch to fastboot mode' - result 'FAIL'.
I have no idea what to do next.
Woops! You have the XT910....post removed.
I think that utility is only for the XT912.
It could have failed if the battery was low. Try charging it in a wall socket if this is the case - there is usually a small window in which it will take a charge.
I can only think of going the rsd lite route and flashing JB to start over.
Please let us know.

I charged my phone ( I think). I left it in a wall socket for more then 3h, and it only got hot. The display still would't turn on, just the moto logo for about 10 sec, and then nothing.
In rsd light I have the same error. (pic.1)
I noticed that the screen of the phone wasn't completed black, like a turn off phone. When in the room was dark the display of the phone has a slight glow of dark-light color, but still no text on the display .

Hold vol- and power button untill you see a horizontal line for a moment,like crt animation,that means that your phone is off. After that immediately press vol-,vol+ and power button to get in to the boot menu and choose AP Fastboot...

Yes, you'll have to try getting it into fastboot like @welder73 has explained.
I was in a similar situation and the screen also looked off but it really wasn't. I couldn't get the phone to turn off at all, it kept turning itself on and all I got was a logo. Battery went low but I got it into fastboot. But rsd lite failed. Charged it in wall socket, I actually managed to see a charging icon on the screen (it was not centered but it did show up). Connecting through USB did not give me this result. Once it was at 40% I took it off charge and crossed fingers...rsd lite then flashed the phone.
Keep trying with the charger also to be sure. Try with different key presses (like pow+vol-) and see if it picks up any charge. Because if the phone isn't really off, your battery could be draining.

Thanks guys for the help. I manage to go into fastboot mode and from there I flashed a sw with rsd light and everything went perfect. Now I reroted my phone and flashed a custom rom. Everything is back to normal.
Thanks again!
I'm glad that everything is ok

My razr has a white notifcation light on when it is plugged in, but will not turn on. Any ideas? I know before this happened my battery was very low and it was extremely hot. Just got this phone 2 days ago....frustrated.
Happens the same to my RAZR: today I was experimenting some WebTop modifications, so I've shut down the RAZR and forgot to power it down before putting it into my LapDock.
I've seen a white notification LED and it hasn't powered up automatically: I've had to put it off of the LapDock and power it up with the power button.
I think that's normal for now, let's wait for a new bootloader... but anyway I don't think this will prevent us to charge the device if the battery is completely discharged.
That happens with all(?) GB moto phones when it's not on a high enough voltage to complete the booting sequence completely. I've seen it plenty of times when charging my dead DROID X on my laptop
Is there a way?
Is there a way to get my droid RAZR XT912 to charge. I have the white light up at the top, its rooted but i cant get seem to get it to boot up, charger or flash it. i can get into recovery mode but the battery is too low. any one with any ideas..thanks
Try this
Connect Razr to wall charger
vol up+vol down+power
In bootmenu navigate to bp tools (vol down) 'en enter (vol up)
Razr should present the moto logo and start charging. Wait patiently 'till charge is complete (100%)
Cheers

I tried that all day and still nothing. It sucks these batteries are internal. I have Best Buy's Black Tie Pertection, so it looks like i will be sending it in...
I have a droid razr that I rooted back in october when I first came out. It has worked perfectly fine up until last night when out of no where is just powered down and restarted. Once it restarted I realized it wasn't making it past the splash screen(if that's what it is called) and then reboots. It does this over and over. I downloaded Gingerbread 2.3.5 CDMA Droid Razr XT912 Verizon USA [Fastboot Files] and RSDlite so I could get my phone back to stock. Well before I was able to get into the fastboot loader my phone's battery ended up dieing. I plug it in to charge and it shows an empty battery with a question mark in the middle of it. Some please help cause I don't know if my battery is even taking a charge or if there is a better method to getting this fixed.
How long have you let it sit on the charger? You need a factory cable from team black hat. Google it. Not sure if they have any left out of this batch though.

You can also make a charging cable if your so inclined, instructions are around here somewhere.

I was able to get a charge on it but when i get to the fastboot flash mode screen down below it says device is LOCKED. Not sure if that effects anything but when I tried to flash my phone using rsd lite it didn't work. It failed
Same thing happened to me when in RSDLite. I just restarted the computer and phone and it worked.
I tried rebooting and I still get the failed message in the rsdlite 5.6

I think there are 2 fast boot menus. Get to that screen again and hit volume down until you see "AP Fast boot" or something like that. Then hit volume up. Try RSD again.

By factory cable do you mean the one that came with the phone or another?

No, you can purchase the cable from "Team Black Hat". The factory cable allows you to flash on RSD Lite without requiring your phone to have battery charge.

Hold down screen lock button and down volume button for about 20 seconds and then the light should turn off. It should turn on, the phone, or you can put it on by hold the screen lock button.
do this while plugged into the wall, not usb
I wish it was that easy,I try holding power nd volume up then down and vice versa to no avail. I also have my phone plug into my wall charger. If anyone helps me get my phone turn on and charge I will donate to your PayPal asap.

Try a different USB cable and plug it into a USB port on the computer. This isolates the USB and the Moto charger to make sure they're not the cause.

Try holding both vol up and down together, then hold the power button, so 3 buttons are pressed at the same time, and hope something happens.
Any of this end up working for ya?

The white led means you're out of battery and conected but not charging. This happend due a rom flash error.
You'll need a Factory Cable to put a new firmware on it and then charge after that

He said he was unrooted running stock, so that couldn't have been the cause

If you got it from Verizon you still have manufacturer warranty, return it.
Had this problem myself, white light, couldn't charge, tried every trick there was. With stock cable, this is how I got my phone to charge:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qs2t-7ALT7U
Phone so sharp, I sliced myself.
I got this many times when trying to charge my phone via USB on my laptop.
I held vol up/down and the power button like Nikorasu recommended and the light disappeared and the phone gave me the "DUAL CORE TECHNOLOGY" screen, looked as if it was going to turn on and then the light turned back on and the screen went back to black.
*UPDATE*
I left the phone plugged in for a long time and I came back to see the white light off and the phone *on* and charging. How nice.

Plugging it into the usb port of a laptop is not enough. I've had cases where I plug my phone to the computer to transfer files and the battery level actually dropped.
Use the Razr charger.
Thanks!!!
I didn't know this handy reset feature, until my razr froze and turned into a paperweight for the rest of the evening.
(thought maybe I wrecked it with some new 'root only' apps)
The reset worked great and runs fine.
Only get Motorola logo after 3 hours of charging
Hi,
I'm new to Droid Razr's and I have a Maxx that is doing this. I tried the (volume +/-, then plug in) option and phone has stayed on Motorola screen for a few hours. No go on the charging screen. Not sure if the Maxx I got has other issues. I've used a motorola usb/wall adapter and a Motorola MicroUSB from a Droid X dock that is supposed to be a faster charger.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Victor
My Maxx is in a similar situation. When I plug it in the Motorola dual core screen comes on and then it goes to the safe system screen where it asks you to touch menu to enter safestrap or search to skip. After touching either button the screen just goes black. Sometimes when I plug it in it will show a red battery at 0% then immediately jump to 5% and then after a moment or two it shows a blue battery at 100% but still won't turn on... When I plug it into my laptop though the screen stays black and the white led is on. Do I need a factory cable to fix this or what? Thanks in advance for any help.

Maybe it is the battery issue.You can try to replace the battery.

Exactly! ...I have this phone and the EXACT same charge problem, white light, phone dead has happened multiple times. My galaxy s3 charger won't fix it....no other usb charger works. Every time I must use all oem chargers and I solve my problem. Why? I believe it is because the razr maxx's larger battery uses a slightly higher charge voltage. (5.1v vs. 4.5 v to be exact) ...look at the charger specs. After leaving on the oem charger for some time, it never fails to boot.
So today while i was away from home the battery of my razr phone ran out completely. When connecting a wall charger I just get the M logo, no led is on.
The phone is rooted and safestrap installed, with a CM10 rom
I can get it into the boot selection menu with power+ vol up+vol down. If i try to go into BP tools from there and wait a bit i actually managed to get into safestrap once, where it showed a 99% charge, which couldn't be right. When trying to reboot again from safestrap, it just powered down. After reconnecting the charger again i could get it to go the the M logo again, arriving back where i started.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Just keep it plugged in for few hours.
The screen might go blank
Don't worry. It should charge up and boot.

Indeed, left it plugged in overnight, it was still stuck, but after a reboot i could start it again. thanks
Hi , I had my Motorola Droid 4 XT894 by Verizon working until last week. One of my kids threw it on the floor.
The phone got stuck on Droid logo loop.
So I tapped into recovery, made the power+volume keys combo but it never went into recovery mode.
So I tried fastboot mode (power+UP+DOWN volume keys) I get into fastboot menu and selected fastboot menu option (so I can get this
phone to flash original stock rom back (which I downloaded from one of the threads here on XDA Developers, using rds lite 4.5).
But Battery being FULLY charged before the drop, showed me it needed more energy and won´t allow the flash.
3 hours later (trying to flash many other roms for 2.3 and 4.0, 4.1 and 4.4) battery went dead.
I hard wired red cable to positive and black cable to negative connectors in the non removable battery (as shown from a cut-usb cable on youtube) and plugged the device onto the wall to feed it power.
Battery never charged up a bit. Didn´t even warmed up. The only signal that energy is going through is that when I push the power button, it shows a white screen with a lot of little color pixels randomly scattered. There´s no text to read or sound to hear.
*Phone still gets recognized by computer on fastboot before and after the "half flash".
*Device is correctly identified when adb command: "fastboot devices" is typed.
QUESTION TIME:
If I buy a brand new original motorola battery - would my phone recognize it and ignite power on? or did I just lost a phone?
If I remove the screws and get the batt out and place it on those generic rechargeable phone battery-devices with tweezers, would it correctly charge?
Thank you community.
Regards.
Thanks.
main phase 2
got a radio-electronic guy. Charged the battery up to 4.2 (battery says that´s the fullest charge on the back label). So I guess I´m ready to go and flash original ROM.
I think I got one or 2 updates (I don´t recall the 4.0 upgrade, but I´ll say the original ROM should be: VRZ_XT894_6.7.2-180_DR4-16_M2-37_1FF.xml.zip
Right?
Working - Partially until reeboot
Hi Everyone. I successfully loaded in the battery with an all-night-charge with direct connection to the wall charger. So I ran RSD Lite, and flashed original stock ROM. It flashed sucessfully.
So YES, definitely a fully charged battery (hardwired) did allow for the full process to flash the entire rom into the phone.
I waited 15 full minutes until all 1 to 18 process were done. RSD showed: Now flashing files and reeboot.
The phone took another 7 minutes to get into android (and it also showed me : updating system files 1-of-69) and so it did. System loaded in correctly and I have all my OLD desktop icons and contacts and everything back. BATTERY is FULLY CHARGED. (it is shown on the screen).
So I press the power button to turn the phone off.
I turn it on again, and all I get now is a white screen with a lot of randomly scattered color pixels. Again the phone doesn´t do anything
and there´s no MOTO logo.
I´m going nuts now....how do I fix this?
