Droid RAZR (XT912) Stuck In Bootloop - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hi, Im new XDA and I signed-up mainly for the purpose of finding the solution to this very annoying bug on my Motorola Droid RAZR XT912. I've looked all over the web to find a solution but, just couldn't find one particular to my problem. So here it is. After trying to install Liquidsmooth V4.0 Nightly, it failed twice. I then rebooted the phone but it wouldn't boot back into CM11. I was then stuck in a boot loop. It would show the motorola sign then show the red triangle over the android and over again. I've tried using the rsd lite tool and the razr utility but cant continue because of low battery and i cannot charge the phone. When I put phone on charger, it shows the moto symbol then turns black. it then reboots and shows the red triangle over the android and does the process over and over again. How can i fix this problem?

When you see that red triangle,press vol+ and vol- buttons at the same time and then you choose "factory reset" option.

The factory reset went through successfully , but after a restart it just continues the bootlop.
In AP Fastboot. When it's connected to the wall charger, it says battery ok.
But when i connect to a usb cable it says battery too low, can not program.
Somehow I need to bypass the battery low problem.
Nothing can be transferred to my phone in this state.
Or is it a way to flash a zip in stock recovery?
Please HELP!!

Put the phone on the charger and charge it for a couple of hours or over night,some people reported that they was able to flash the rom after that.
Or buy the factory cable,it allows you to flash the fastboot file,without battery low warning.It's only for flashing,not for charging.
Actually,you can make one by yourself,it's easy,here's the picture what you have to do

My RAZR XT910 got soft bricked I guess, any help?

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?

Right,with factory cable you can't charge the phone but you can flash fastboot file,that's what it's for.

It worked, thank God. Thanks for the advice, next time I'll be more careful with my RAZR
Greets!
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.
Edit2: Okay, it fully charged. Thank's again mate for tips

The led color,is it white?
If it is,then you must make or buy the factory cable and flash your stock rom with RSD Lite.

yes,its white
now i have managed somehow to turn it on
but the problem is that stock ROM in safestrap is always Disabled ,i cant use it ?
so i can use it only with factory cable? whats so special in it ?
do i have to use only original stock rom ? shouldnt safestrap to bypass it ?

If you can turn it on then your battery is ok,just flash your stock rom with RSD Lite,root it,install Safestrap and happy flashing.
The factory cable allows you to flash the fastboot (stock rom) files when your battery is too low.
Did you try to get in to fastboot mode?
Pressing vol- vol+ and power button at the same time?
Look what's written for the battery,Battery OK-good,Battery Low-you need the factory cable.

first. installing safestrap and boot menu manager at same time is not recommended.
second. if I understood you, you flashed cm11 over stock ROM. but you provide no info about how you did it.My guess is you didn't wipe all recommend partitions.
that leads me to third, your battery stats probably were messed up. next time you charge it try to wipe your battery stats, there is apps in play store that will do it for you. some people say it doesn't does a difference, certainly your battery will not magically improve, but it does corrects weird behaviors.
If it doesn't works, try using RSD as welder73 told you. troubleshooting is easier in a clean and working system. what I am proposing is worthy to try if you have data that you cannot loose.
note: don't know how factory cable works, but I hope you are using it instead of directly connecting cable to the battery. cause charge might not be controlled if you charge directly to battery terminals... if you let it charge too much time it can damage battery.
xt910 can be a RAZR MAXX but not a MAXX HD which is a totally different phone.

ok. when you get into fastboot and try to RSD and get a Low Battery warning, the is no other way left... charge battery. or get a factory cable, there is a thread explaining how to build one.
first question. you have to choose one of them. for newbies, safestrap cause all new ROMs are prepared to work with that program. if later, u decide to test bout menu manager, you will have to uninstall safestrap ( of course you will not be able to use any ROM installed with safestrap). since boot menu manager is no longer supported, you will need to mod ROM zip file prior to flashing that's why i recommend sticking to safestrap for now. Don't install both, they are not meant to work together.
second question. To install in stock ROM, you have to wipe everything except sdcard and sd-ext where you personal data is (never tried, so can't help you more). for slot1 Wiping is not necessary first time, cause slot1 is fresh. next time yo install other ROM you will have to wipe data, cache and system. double check what you ate doing, so you don't wipe stock instead of slot1.
Wipe options are in safestrap.
SafeStrap and Boot Manager
I have accidently installed both apps on my Motorola Razr XT910 and my phone is now stuck on the red logo - I cannot get it into the bootloader to unbrick it with RSD Lite. Is there anybody who can advise ?
ok,i somehow managed to turn it on
now i want to flash 4.0.4
the phone itself form Norway,what ROM should i use? i tried to install Asian but it didnt work "some file not singed"
i just downlod zip file,unzip it, and choose xml file in RSD lite?

Yes,but flash the Europian fastboot file.
And don't try to flash ICS if your stock was JB.
You can flash JB fastboot file with RSD Lite if you want,that way you'll upgrade to JB.
About RSD Lite,I unzip file with it,if I remember correctly,click on start,choose decompress only and find your zip.

Okay.. I have a similar problem which I have ran into now..Yesterday I was just using my phone normally and was trying to call someone, when the phone immediately shut down..my guess was that the battery stats were screwed up..So I tried charging it and even I had the question mark on the battery when I connected it to the charger. I couldn't switch on the phone manually. I was on PA android jellybean 4.3.1. So should I also need a factory cable or something to restore my phone??
Thanks in advance

[Q] Help recovering XT910

Hi,
about a month ago, I managed to brick my XT910 - I was doing factory reset when I had couple of images installed (using safestrap).
The Battery went dead, as it entered a bootloop which I didn't notice.
I ordered a "Factory Cable", and now I'm able to use AP Fastboot recovery to flash a new image (4.1.2 image). As long as I'm connected with the factory cable to the computer, everything seems OK (flash succeed, I can go and setup the new system, connect to wifi...).
But - the battery never charges. As soon as I take off the factory cable, the phone dies. When I'm connecting regular charger, or regular USB cable to the computer, I get the red circle "M" logo, but it never progress - not booting and not showing the battery image.
Any idea how to solve this?
Thanks,
Ilan
Try keeping it plugged in for a few hours. It should charge.

Have tried, it was connected with both the factory cable and regular charger for few hours each times.
The battery picture (when the phone is off, but connected to power) doesn't even show up.
Any idea if the boot might have been defected? If so - any way to fix it?
I do able to go into fastboot & recovery boot options.
Thanks
Have you tried charging it through your usb port. Using the normal cable.
If nothing else works, Flash the stock ROM using RSDLite. It should fix any issue related to bad flash or anything corrupted.
Yes - tried charging with regular cable from the USB port - nothing comes on in the screen, just the led is glowing white.
I've tried to flash few stock images - 4.0.4 versions I can get flashed, and they run, but the battery icon shows a question mark (and in the system settings-> battery it says unknown).
2.3.6 images do not flash at all (I get failed in RDSlight on the first stage).
Any idea? Is there a boot only file I can flash another way.
Thanks

[Q] Moto logo then black screen RAZR XT912

My Razr is 3 years old, was running super slowly (like 15 mins to unlock it), so I figured I would wipe it and rom it. I've done this before, mostly with my OG Droid back in the day, but not on my Razr. So, I rooted it, did a factory reset (backed up everything to my pc first), installed safestrap, told me it wasn't actually rooted, so I did the rooting process again, worked. got in safestrap, wiped, wiped dalvik cache, system, cache, data, created a partition, swapped to that, installed LiquidSmooth, rebooted phone (as per the instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2782971), and now I just get the motologo then a black screen. I can get into the built in recovery, tried wiping the cashe and doing a factory reset there, changed nothing. I don't know how to use abd, but I'm downloading a utility for it (Droid Razr Utility), any ideas on what I need to do? I installed liquidsmooth off my sd card, not sure if that is where I ****ed up though. If I take the SD card out, the phone wont even give me the moto logo. When left on the charger, it just sits at the moto logo, it never goes away. Just sits there, screen on. AP Fastboot says "Battery Low" and Matts utilities fails to flash. It wont charge when I plug it in, just sits at the moto logo.
Thanks for the help guys!

It happens to me every time my battery charge reach zero, and looks like becomes a common problem, here also.
If you are able to boot in safestrap, do it, then plug the phone in and wait until safestrap shows 20-30 % battery charge! After that reboot and wait the OS to boot normally. The phone needs a OS to charge, but will charge while is under safestrap.
If you can't boot in safestrap. Charge the phone for about two hours (it will show m logo) unplug it and reboot with power + vol. up + vol. down! The phone should pass through m logo to safestrap, and you will be able to charged it under safestrap.

It never goes past the M logo, I can't get into safestrap. If I could, I would be able to change to my safe partition and boot, but I can't. It's like its stuck trying to boot into a partition with a failed flash on it. Using recovery to factory reset isn't helping at all. And because the battery is now low (it was 100% when I started this, RAZRs just die SUPER fast), Matts Utility wont flash it.

It's been "charging" for 12 hours now, still says "Battery low" in AP Fastboot. Still can't flash it. When I try to normal boot, I still just get the M and then it goes to a black screen.

You can normally boot only once in the short period after unplugging the phone and only if the phone is charged enough - about two hours. You need to be patient, everything you doing with the phone while it charges can brake the magic. After normally booting to safestrap quickly plug the phone again to charge.
Also charge the phone only in the network not by usb.
If this method fails only way to charge the phone enough to flash it with Matts Utilities is via factory cable.

Bricked after CM11 4.4.4 update

Hi guys,
My XT910 ran Cyanogenmod 11, Kitkat Nightly. Tonight an OTA update appeared (something called snapshot or something). Thought it might fix some thing that were not quite right in my version so decided to update. At some point during this process the screen went black then the M logo appeared than the android recovery menu (i can load it). And nothing else. I tried rebooting, wiping cache, reset to factory, nothing works. Copied several ROM on the sd card because i have the option to update from sd. Nada. I gotta tell you i'm on a Mac and i cant change that this week, no Windows till next week. And probably the battery is draining...
What to do?
This is how it goes:
I can not power down the device
It restarts periodically if no action taken
at first the M logo appears
instead of CM logo there is a robot with an exclamation mark inside a red triangle
i can get into recovery menu by pressing the volume keys
i can choose one of the options but nothing else
when applying updates from sd card (stock 4.1.2, nightly rom or snapshot rom) it goes up to "verifying update" then it abandons
Later edit:if i reboot from recovery menu and when it powers off i press pwr and vol- it goes to boot menu. No windows means no adb hence power off from that menu. when i plug in the charger, the M logo appears andstays there. Question: if it does actually charge the battery and i dont fix it before getting a windows, what kind of rom should i flash? Stock?
OK, I tried updating the M10 snapshot today over my current M9 snapshot that I had installed.
As it was updating, the screen went off and then I couldn't get anywhere past the M Logo, pressing the volume keys I'm also able to navigate to recovery etc.. but that's it.
I was not able to boot the phone off and even though the screen was off, I don't believe the phone was off. When I got home, the only thing I knew to do was to flash a stock JB rom using RSD Lite. But when I tried flashing it a few moments ago, it failed - the battery is low apparently. Putting it on charge I can now see a charging logo on the screen that is not centered, but I believe it is charging. Once I've got some juice I will try flashing it again, and then I think it's a whole process of rooting it, installing SafeStrap again, and then starting over with CM11.
I don't know if you can even get RSD Lite for MAC, but it's the only way I know that should work to get the phone back up and running.
Thanks for sharing.
There is no RSD for Mac, nor something similar. But i've managed to set up a virtual xp machine (modern.ie), installed everything, captured the usb port with the phone stating "usb connected". Unfortunately i just couldnt connect the phone to rsd, no matter what i did.
Oh gosh.
I managed to get my phone back by flashing the stock JB rom and then working from there.
Try going to the boot menu thing (hold down all keys) and then navigate to AP fastboot. RSD lite should see the phone in this mode.
But make sure the battery is OK first. I did manage to charge it to 40% and it then flashed after it had some charge. Seemed to flash it a little differently than other times. Also the phone said "Device is LOCKED", but thankfully it all worked out fine. Now I'm on CM11 09/15 Nightly.
Have you installed the Motorola drivers?
Maybe you can't do it through a VM.

"Device is locked" means that bootloader is locked in our phones,except those few developer edition models.

I'm glad you could do it. Mine seems to charge as well, it's now close to 24h since it bricked and i assume it would just die if it wouldnt charge in that particular state. Fortunately the keys on the Mac keyboard started working again after drinking beer two nights ago so i dont need to trick the virtual machine anymore, but unfortunately i just cannot get the rsd to see the phone on this VM. Probably should try a VM with windows 7 - i guess ill just do that. I have installed the drivers, the VM recognizes the phone (moto spyder adb...) but rsd wont see it, nor the adb driver installer (it needs to identify the device in order to install the proper drivers). I know that rsd is picky when it comes to usb cables, it might just not work with the original cable, but after trying 4 different cables i tend to think this is not the problem
P.S. I'm very upset on Google about killing Motorola and being disrespectful with its own customers (i mean i would have been expecting to be the first to get Android updates, not to wait one year to be able to update from 2.3 and i couldnt imagine they will not roll out RAZR updates after 4.1.2) so my next phone will be a Nokia Lumia. The coolest one, like my StarTac, my V70, my V3, my RAZR...
You maybe successful with a Windows machine
Indeed i was. It was fast and sound, no problems at all flashing stock rom. Though the phone didn't actually charged when plugged in and displaying the M logo. I had to actually sacrifice a usb cable and charge the battery directly.
I have the same problem - I updated to the last snapshot, and did a wipe in safestrap - and got bricked.
Only difference is I can't flash nothing! and in AP Fastboot mode the computer doesn't recognize anything.
