Actually i just recovered from an extreme hard bricked Motorola Droid RAZR but there is a little problem.
Things i did to recover:
- I opened it's back and unveiled the two switches to manually recharge phone, this was the only way to get to fasboot in OKAY mode (it served as charger only).
- After that, i connected another USB from the original port which connected the phone to PC (it served as recovery only).
- After that, i used RSDLite to recover the system from the scratch.
Now i can only boot my phone as long as it is connected to power source, NOT PC! However, i can get to boot options using PC which confirms that it is not really plug n play, any way to fix it?
Fixed it myself.

Hello, I tried to search a lot, but I can't find any solution for this problem.
My friend gave me this phone (XT910 M0C2E) and says, that he somehow deleted system and the phone is now unable to boot. I tried a lot, but can't find anything, that could help me. When I tried to power the device it just show red moto dual core logo and then black screen. He also says me, that previous owner installed MIUI rom.
I charged the phone, using lipol charger direct to the battery, so this is not the problem.
but the main problem is that the phone can't connect in the AP Fastboot method. It says:
Code:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode
0A.74
eMMC Info: Size 16G
bla bla...
Device is LOCKED. Status code:0
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
But when I connect the cable nothing happend, computer did not recognize the phone (no sound, no driver installation, nothing i device window). It is deffinitely in the phone, because I tried more computers and USB cables and if I connect the phone in SBF Mode, phone is recognized and shown RSD Lite.
I also tried to flash this rom (i think it is signed and stock)
SPDREM_U_01.6.7.2-180_SPU-19-TA-11.2_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRICSRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml
through recovery mode from external card, but it says E:signature verification failed.
I'm sorry if somewhere here is sollution, but I tried to search and also for my bad English (from Czech Republic).
I solved it. I must remove battery (remove screws and put it out) for about 1 day, then put it back and go to bootloader. Don't try to power up phone because the usb wont be recognized, again.

Did you installed Motorola Device Drivers before connecting it? This device is not plug n play dude. Do that and let me know. Btw you have to flash that rom with rsd lite, not from sdcard
Hope I've helped

HELLO GUYS, I need Help BAD! First off my Razr was going dead. It said battery to low to boot. I connected a external battery to it to charge it then I left it for a while. I don't know exactly what happened but I went into the Utility screen. I have been on it before per Forum directions to go to recovery and delete the cache. I was scrolling down and I accidentally clicked the up key to go up to recovery and clicked up on AP Fast Boot. Now My Razr is stuck in what I think is called a Boot Loop. The Motorola symbols just keeps popping up over and over. I can go back into the Utility screen I tried to go into recovery but the Motorola symbols just pops back up OVER AND OVER. I have the Razr plugged to the factory moto plug but a white light comes on and no charging screen pops up. I don't believe it charging. The battery feels Hot but when I go back into the AP Fastboot screen it says Battery Low. I may just need to leave it on there longer or it may not charge I don't know. I am AMATEUR.I am rooted per Forum instructions with Razr Blade utility. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. I have no clue what to do and the more stuff I try I think Im screwing more up. When I go to AP Fast Boot it says battery low but when I plug it up it a white light on the front comes on the Moto Logo keeps popping up over and over. It wont go to recovery. I tried going to BP TOOLS, that done nothing. WHAT DO I DO??? I just want it to boot up. The only back ups I have are on my Ext SD card and thats just of the apps, contacts and I think theme. (Backed up per Titanium and ROM Toolbox) Do I need to make an Ins claim with Verizon Thanks Jason
#1 Am I stuck in Fastboot?
#2 If so am I stuck bc the battery is dead?
#3 If I get the battery charged will I be able to just choose Normal Boot and the Razr will Boot Up?
#4 If so How do I ensure its charging? I read on another site plugging it to the factory charge while stuck in fast boot will still charge the Razr (slow)
5# If none of the above, What in the World have I done and how do I get out of it?
Just adding to my Nightmare
I read somewhere I needed to connect my Razr to a PC and Update the Drivers. I went back into FastBoot, used my factory USB cable and plugged it to the PC. The driver started updating (it even said the name of the driver) I stood up and knocked my Razr off the desk. The driver failed to update. Then I hooked it back to the PC and the Drivers Failed. I hooked it to 2 other USB ports they All Failed. It keeps saying unrecognizable device. I rebooted the PC in hopes that when I hooked the Razr back up to the PC it would start to update the drivers. Now I if I hook the Razr to the Factory plug (it gets Hot) I go to the Utility Screen then to Fastboot and it still says Battery Low. I unplug it from the charger to hook it to the PC and it Blinks OFF and does NOTHING when I hook it the PC. My Razr is Factory other than the Razr Blade Root. Stock ROM and Everything. Any Help would be Greatly Appreciated, I am a NOOB so Detailed instructions would definitely increase my chances for success. Thanks Jason T.

I had this problem some months ago! mine came because of installing a rom with low battery (bad idea always...) the rom did not get installed properly, so the phone couldnt boot up, neither charge. As it was at low battery it also couldnt go fastboot to recover the stock system. I found somewhere a post (i dont remember now, but search for it, you may find) where a guy gave instructions for charging the battery by opening the phone and connecting the battery directly to the positive and negative terminal of an usb cable. This may sound too difficult, but once I had connected the battery I could go fastboot and reinstall the stock system.
Ask me if you cant find the post. It worked for me!! good luck
I found it, Charged it and I'm STILL in a Boot Loop. I won't boot to recovery or normal boot up. I'm STUCK BRICKED

You will have to download the fastboot files for your device. Flash them via RSD Lite.
Make sure you have a lot of charge before flashing the files.
FastBoot files:- http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_spyder/list.php
RSD Lite v5.7:- http://www.mediafire.com/download/6c7krihb3ggj88g/RSDLite5.7.rar
Motohelper drivers:- http://www.mediafire.com/download/t3tfh3p2xcy2861/MotoHelper_2.1.40_Driver_5.5.0.exe
Install the drivers and RSD Lite. Open RSD Lite and connect your phone via the USB Cable while in AP Fastboot. The software should detect your phone and your device should appear in the list. Then simply open the fastboot files in RSD and flash them. Make sure that the process isn't interrupted.
Hope it helps.

Hi there,
yesterday I tried to root my new Tablet Z (16GB, LTE, Model: SGP321, Firmware: 10.4.B.0.569) and it doesn't start since then.
I used an ubuntu live CD for all these tasks because fastboot doesn't work on my win 8.1 and my debian wheezy didn't have the libc-dev needed in its repositories (didn't want to mess with packets that weren't yet integrated into my OS).
What I did:
unlock the bootloader according to http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions
I followed the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z/general/how-to-root-10-4-b-0-569-t2590781
a few annotations to this:
the firmware rar didn't include a "Recover.zip", so I used the boot.img directly inside the firmware rar
although sony and this CM tutorial use the "-i" parameter of fastboot, I didn't use it because it wasn't used by the tutorial
after I did the "fastboot reboot" step, the device wasn't listed anymore when typing "fastboot devices", which, I think, is okay since the device should restart then.
I think it didn't really restart, because the LED on the side glew red.
I tried to turn on the tablet but it didn't do anything (the LED kept glowing red).
I tried holding vol up and power for a few seconds (until the LED blinked first once and then three times) but the tablet wouldn't do anything except for the LED glowing red. at somepoint, the LED would turn off (I think that happened when I hold vol up and power for more than 10 sec).
I was able to let it glow red again by pressing vol up and power again and release the vol up button before the power button.
I also tried to use the PC companion on my windows machine to repair the tablet but the tablet wasn't even recognized (either using the fastboot-procedure by holding vol up while connecting the tablet nor normal plugging in...)
any ideas what I could do next?
Same Problem!
Hey wullxz!
I have the same problem. Red LED most of the time, and I cannot make ANY USB connection to the PC. The tablet won't show up in the device manager. So obviously cant use flashtool, nor PC companion. Ive tried all this volume up and down button stuff, but simply cannot get it to show up on the computer.. Tried a different USB cable as well.. Same issue. The USB port is definitely not broken. Its brand new..
Have you found any solution ? Or anyone else? Mine just got back from Sony Repair.. they wont fix it cuz they detected that Ive tampered with the original software.... meaning Warranty Lost!
Great!
hi,
i also sent mine to sony for a repair. i wrote that i did a firmware update and the tablet wouldn't boot afterwards.
i didn't try the bootloader-unlock again afterwards.
Help Needed!
Tablet Z with unlocked bootloader and rooted 10.1.C.0.370
My issues occured after a downgrade to 4.1.2.
I CAN:
1) Start my tablet, everything normal...
2) Charge my tablet
3) Go into safe mode
4) Go into fastboot mode (solid BLUE LED)
5) Use the memory card and use root apps (maybe this could help restore?)
I CAN NOT:
1) Get my PC to recognize that a USB device is connected. Neither in Mass Storage mode, Media mode, nor fastboot mode.
- Tried with several cables and computers (this is not a driver issue, since it won't show up at all in device manager)
- Flashtool obvious;y says, no device connected
2) Get in to flashmode: device blinks red for about half a second, then green for half a second, and then LED is off. Nothing recognized via USB on PC
3) Get into recovery mode
4) Update over WIFI (fails because unlocled bootloader I suppose)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
i think you should open a new thread for your problem because it seems like it's not really similar to my issue.
you should get more/better replies in an own thread.

let it charge to 100%, check for flashmode drivers installed and then try attaching it to pc only when flashtool asks you to do it.

Hey thanks for your reply... It wont go into flashmode... Theres something fundamentally wrong.. I cant figure out what... I leave it plugged in for 48 hours..but it doesnt really get full.. the most Ill get the orange LED.. like 50%... now its on since about 12 hours.. no LED on at all... strange..
But yea.. no flashmode... Nothing showing up when connecting the USB cable... nothing in device manager..and therefore flashtool sees nothing!
SOLVED
Problem solved! I can't believe it. Two bad(?) USB cables. Bought a new one, charges fine, flashmode fine. Flashed stock ROM.
However the Camera still doesn't work. Maybe the problem of the cable inside which may have come loose!
Hello,
I recently found my old Droid Razr Maxx again and wanted to know if any of you know a way to restore it to its former glory, so to say.
I jumped into a lake with it after forgetting that it was in my pocket a few years ago and ever since, the data parts of USB have been dead. I continued to use it for some time after the accident, but unfortunately I managed to soft-brick it with no way to re-flash the firmware with RSD Lite.
Connecting a regular USB cable to the device with the battery removed just lights up the white LED, which indicates that it receives power over USB, but not enough to boot. When I use a factory cable, the device boots, which leads me to the conclusion that pin 1 and 4 still work like they should.
The device then gets stuck on the Motorola bootsplash, but I'm able to get into the bootloader, fastboot mode, and stock recovery with the key combos. I already tried to place a few signed .zip's (OTAs) on the SD card and flash them through the stock recovery, but all .zip's I've tried so far fail as they check system files of the current ROM that are supposed to be in place. They just include the incremental update parts anyway, so I don't know if they would help, even if I could install them.
I wrote a small script that executes "fastboot devices" every second, booted into fastboot and tried to connect the USB data pins directly to the lines that go into the motherboard (in case just the port is corroded), but I've had no luck so far, as it doesn't get recognized. I tried to connect to the Test Points near the microUSB port in various combinations, hoping that they are connected to the data pins, but my Razr just reboots in most cases, or does nothing. It still doesn't get recognized.
Does anybody know how I could get a working firmware on the device? :silly:

hi. so my problem is that my phone does not turn on, i cant go to recovery or do hard reset. the phone react when i plug it in PC without battery, but its always connect and disconnect over and over again. i have downloaded the omap drivers and instaled it. now i have in the device manager a OMAP4430 FastBoot USB device. by the drivers was a fastboot emulator. but when i will flash rom, kernel or recovery a just get partition does not exist. can someone help me please? srry for english.
Does your phone not turn on at all when holding down the power button? If it boots up, and gets stuck on a loop or has an error message, that is different. But if it doesn't turn on at all, then your battery is dead or something is wrong with your phone's hardware. If you connect your phone to the PC (with the battery on), does it at least show a light? Or does it boot up at all when you hold the power button? If it doesn't show a light or boot up, it is not your battery, but your phone's hardware. Your phone might have been dropped or water inside it or it was microwaved? I know it sounds silly, but something happened to the phone physically. Now if you connect it to the PC and you see a light but it never boots, your device is bricked. Not accusing you, but you might have tried rooting it or writing over a partition on your phone which caused to brick. Also, try typing in fastboot devices. If it shows up a device, that means it is connected. Cheers!
No the phone does not turn on and it shows nothing, even when i put it on charger. If i connect to pc with battery after i installed the omap driver it just connect and disconnect over and over again, windows make this sound when you connect and disconnect something. I have flashed a new rom. It has worked but after some time its stoped. So i have try flashed it again but i could not get in recovery. A files was missing and after i try flashing thhe recovery its just dead. I can connect it just with the fastboot emulator because it's don't connect when i just put it on pc. I must connect it without battery wait 4 sec and then put the battery back. Than i can see in the emu my phone but not able flash anything because of partition does not exist
