Ok this my first thread in about a month of reading through tons of thread (2013 to date)
I have an XT912 that I cherish so much. Three months ago, it suddenly started having battery issues, I got frustrated and broke screen in the process of tossing it about. Now I miss my phone so badly that I just want it back up all cost.
My version is 98.72.16.XT912 Verizon US..
I have accidentally used RSDLite to flash VRZ_XT912_9.8.20-72_VZW-16-5CFC.xml. I know this it the wrong version, but the result is still same; The device will boot into home screen and it restarts after 5-10seconds.
Sometimes, I use the time turn on USB Debugging with the hope to get it rooted. Heck! Who am I fooling.
So please guys help me out here: WHAT IS MY FAITH???

Hello everyone, this is my first post here so I want to thank everyone in advance for the help. I've never needed to post here because my questions were always answered by someone else's post. But this time I'm in a whole different boat.
Long story short. Found a Droid razr on Craigslist. Owner mentioned it would power up but stay locked on boot. He sold it cheap to me. I figured I could easily do a hard reset and I would be good. Nope. Not the case.
I attempted a hard reset, razrutility, rdslite and nothing has worked. When flashed using rsdlite, it runs its course and then notifies the phone to reboot and low and behold, the phone still gets stuck on boot where it says "Droid". I need help!!!!

Anyone?
You might want to try the two different versions of DroidRAZRUtility. IIRC, 1.6 is for GB bootloaders and 1.7 is for ICS leak bootloaders. Perhaps your phone was upgraded to a leak (unsuccessfully), is now stuck halfway through the ICS update, and needs to be wiped before you can do the real update and get it running.
I found the guide in my signature very useful.
I have a little bit different story with the same problem. I was testing XT912 boards and LCD/Digitizer assemblies. This board was the one I knew to be working. I tested a 3 or 4 LCD/Dig. assemblies without any problem. I then rebuilt the phone entirely, and powered it on. It starts to go through the power up cycle but stops on "Droid". I did a recovery wipe and factory reset and it still does the same thing. My PC acknowledges the phone is connected, but nothing else can be found connected on the PC; Moto DM, Motocast, not even my com ports. I have a feeling I inadvertingly shorted the board, but this is strange...any ideas?
Hey Everyone,
I received the OTA ICS update for my Razr couple of days ago since I have the Middle East Retail version. After I installed the update the phone booted fine however after it finished optimizing the applications, the small window which says starting applications seem to go on forever. Kept it on for a whole day until the battery drained and after switching it on again, it was stuck on a boot loop. Recovering from one I know, however no matter what I tried the same thing kept happening. I tried flashing in various methods with no success. I spent two days searching threads for anything that looks similar to the problem I have. Yet I found none. So I was hoping if anyone out there knows how to get around this problem. This problem is the sole reason I created this thread and when I say I have tried everything I know I mean it. So any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Razer Droid XT910
I apologize already if this has already been posted before, I couldn't see one that had my issues so I'm making this thread.
OK, so here is my problem and everything that I can think of that I've done to my phone.
Today I tried to restart my phone as it was getting a bit sluggish. When I did it started booting fine then the animation sound stopped while the droid eye was being put together. Now my phone will not pass the droid eye during the boot phase. I press the power and both volume buttons and after a few seconds it starts itself back up again. I do the power button and down volume buttons and it still does the same thing. I've even performed the factory reset twice and it still won't help.... And no matter what I do it keeps booting itself back up on its own.
What I've done to my phone:
I am rooted but never got the boot loader unlocked since i waited too long and the last update wouldn't allow the boot loader unlock methods anymore. I have used titanium backup app to delete some system apps for example the Verizon football one, slacker radio, and any of those useless apps that I never use. I haven't deleted anything lately and have restarted my phone many times since. I have been delaying the recent update hitting no or not now, whatever it says. I thought that I said no today on the system update as well. Even then my phone was working before I restarted it.
PLEASE I hope that there is something that I can do to fix my phone because I'm forced to use my LG Vortex again and my upgrade isn't for another year..... I don't want to buy a new one since this phone has been great and I'm almost certain that if there was a way to reinstal or flash the droid razr m OS that that would fix my issues.
Thanks in advance for your input and please know that I'm a novice with this kind of thing so you will have to explain the process to me. If i have instructions I can definitely follow them.
THANKS!
SORRY
I just noticed that for some reason I got out of the Droid Razr M forum. You are free to respond if you like but I have posted this thread in the right form now.
Sorry again
Hello everyone,
Last time I saw my moto alive was two days ago with battery low, after that it shut itself down. I came back home connected to charger, but when I tried to turn it on it stick on red moto logo. I've done factory reset from boot menu(that's how it's called if i'm not mistaken) but nothing helped. Then I went to repairing shop in Tianjin and left it there(currently I'm in China). The next day they told me that they cannot fix it.
So, now i'm here and hope to fix it myself with your help.
As I said phones it stuck on red moto logo
The phone's bought in China but has/had European JB in it
I don't know any other info like OS number or something
I guess I have to install new Jelly bean right?
how I have to do that?
thanks in advance
Hi Everyone!
I'm new here, however I've been lurking for a week here and everywhere trying to fix and come up with solutions to my problems. Hopefully I can get some help or ideas as I'm going nuts over this.
Please let me know if this isn't the right place or if there's a thread with the info, I've tried to find as much as I can understand on my own first.
I have a XT912 I got almost 2 years ago from Verizon. I've never rooted it, but I did enable developer mode and use PDANet+ to tether USB to my computer as a backup internet connection for emergencies. I need it for work, I'm oncall 24/7, linux sysadmin, I need access to datacenters. I also need my phone to work 100%, Work needs to be able to reach me anytime.
3 months ago in May the battery life was suddenly not lasting the whole day, so I got a Maxx battery on amazon, genuine and installed it myself. My phone is not a Maxx, but it fix and worked flawlessly for 3 months, no issues. An odd thing is in About it says the phone is a DROID RAZR MAXX which I don't think it did before but I'm not sure. The battery only has + and - so can it detect that its a higher capacity battery and determine that the phone is now a Maxx? Perhaps this caused the issues below 3 months later?
We were on a trip for the weekend, I tested my tether and had internet just to make sure, then didn't use it again. I did have my data turned on more than normal to check Wunderground radar a lot for rain. I believe I left it on over night as well, which I normally do not. Perhaps Verizon pushed an update overnight because it was accessible? I don't know if that happened and the version in about is 4.1.2 now.
The next day the freezing started. The screen will freeze on different things, some as simple as the home screen, others during an incoming or outgoing call starting, text, kitchen timer, etc. Sometimes the screen will still work a little in the background but touch is completely unresponsive. I have to hard or soft reboot it. This happens 2-4 times everyday. However the rest of the day it works perfectly and runs great!
When I later went to use my USB to backup the phone it did not work and has not worked at all. I have 2 cables, both previously worked. I have 2 laptops that both were setup and worked with the drivers and USB and PDANet+ tethering. Both do not detect the USB at all, it only charges, there are no devices in Windows 7 device manager at all. I've removed, reinstalled the drivers, rebooted phone and computer, different USB ports, etc.
I've worked out that I can take a family member's upgrade and get a new phone now. I'm looking at the Droid Maxx at Verizon since it has the biggest battery and should be similar to what I already have. Mini looks nice but I'd rather have the battery.
Questions
Could the battery change have caused the software to change the phone name to Maxx, freeze, and break USB 3 months later?
Could the phone have updated to 4.1.2 overnight and broke these things?
Would a factory reset or installing a previous version help?
If I get a Droid Maxx from Verizon with the available upgrade, can I put the SIM card into it from my current XT912 AND swap it back and forth between them? (I want to do this if I root either or both phones I can keep one working and as a backup in the future)
Is the Droid Maxx currently at Verizon a good candidate to root? I'd only like to root so that I can make a backup of the phone OS in case something like this happens again. I'd like to understand and setup my own backups of my data and apps AND test that I can wipe and restore them (I'm a sysadmin, I like backups and testing restores). I'm having trouble understanding the rooting process from this perspective, so if there's any docs explaining this better I'd love to know.
Is the Droid Maxx a good candidate for PDANet+ tethering again? The site says my current phone should work with its version 4.1.2 but I have no USB at all right now to tether over.
On another note, I'd like to have a spare phone plan that I would normally not use, only in emergencies. I'm looking for something that's the cheapest, most prepaid seem to have catches or monthly fees. Data would be ideal if I could tether it for emergency on a prepaid plan too, but I'm not finding any cheap solutions such as $100 or less total a year (not including the cost of minutes and data should I need to use it in an emergency)
tl;dr 2 year old Droid Razr with battery upgraded to Maxx battery 3 months ago suddenly freezing and usb connection completely not detected or working. Looking into new Verizon Droid Maxx, rooting for purpose of backing up and restoring as well as rooting old phone. Possibly having another backup cheap phone depending on costs. Any help, suggestions, thoughts?
update got new phone
The phone is freezing more frequently even just on pressing the power button to get to unlock screen. I used an upgrade to get a new Verizon Droid Razr Maxx xt1080. It comes with an SIM card already in it, so all we did was enter my Google account to sync contacts and left it stock for now.
I plugged it into my computer with my old cable and the USB works, no changes, no dev. So the old Razr USB is completely not working for some reason.
I was told that I can go on the Verizon website and switch my number back to my old phone fairly instantly. I'll try this tonight and look into rooting the new phone and getting backups all setup.
