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...
My Droid Razr Maxx completely died and now won't charge or turn on,there also is a white led light located left top of phone that's on when charger is plug in. My razr was not rooted or unlock 2.3.5.Please help,any advice will be rewarded thru PayPal. I'm trying to avoid replacing it with a refurbished phone,my phone has had a screen protector and been in a case since day one. Thanks for any and all help,sorry if this issue has been address.

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:

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.
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

Hi!
I have Motorola droid razr xt910. i have installed cynogenmod 12.1 on it using safestrap and working successfully for last 3 months.
I had put my razr on charge at night and when i woke up it was turned off and when i want to turn it on it shows the Motorola logo and suddenly shows blue screen and turned off. after that i continued to turn it on but it does not showing anything and vibrates simultaneously time to time. even that AP fastboot is also not showing.
when I plugged my razr on laptop using cable it shows white led light and when I start to boot light turns off and black screen continues.
please help !!
It didn't charge for some reason, and now battery is very low.
Try leaving on different charger for a few hours, or try connecting to a PC for a few mins, then try wall charger again.
I had tried but no response.

I have a Droid Razr XT912 and I cant seem to get it to boot or even go into recovery settings. It is just a black screen. Sometimes when i plug it in the white LED light comes on and goes out in 5 seconds or so, Other times the white LED comes on and stays on. I have tried to use different chargers and cords. Even the original charger wont help.
