Hi everyone.
So I have a Motorola Droid RAZR XT910 its on 4.0.4 OTA with no root.
The issue I have is that I connect the phone to my PC via USB cable and it does not pick it up.
A few things you must know is:
•I have windows 7 32-bit and
•I am using the cable that comes with my phone
What happens when I plug my phone is the computer says installing drivers for unknown device and then it claims to have successfully installing them for "unknown device". My phone does give me option to chose what type of connection I want but it does charge.
Things I have tried:
•A different cable
•A different PC
• Re-installing drivers
• Re-installing Motocast
•Trying with USB Debugging enabled and disabled
•Different USB ports
•Factory reset
•Different USB ports
•Tried installing PIM Sync form Google Play Store
So yeah that's my problem any help will be helpful...
Try the drivers here:
http://www.motorola.com/consumers/v...59431210VgnVCM1000008406b00aRCRD&pubid=987654
When you try another cable, make sure that works with another device, and not just for charging.
The below instructions will help you troubleshoot if there is a problem with the usb connector on your phone.
1.Power off and disconnect usb cable.
2.Press and hold vol up and down, then hold the power button.
3.You should come to a boot mode selection menu.
4.Press vol down twice to highlight AP fastboot, press vol up once to select.
5.You should see AP fastboot flash mode (s), with last 2 lines saying "Connect USB, Data Cable"
6.Connect your USB cable to your PC and phone, and see if it says USB connected.
7. If nothing happens then it's probably a hardware problem, get it repaired.

Hi thank you for your help.
So I did this method on my PC and it was unsuccessful but i tried it on my mothers and it worked!
So I will update the drivers on my mothers PC and see If I can successfully connect to her PC and use USB mass storage for the first time since I've had Ice Cream Sandwich!
I will keep you updated
Its definitely software. Ill have to wait till there's a rooting application that doesn't require a connection between a PC and phone. One rooted I can flash a ROM from there on...
On your mother's PC, it worked in AP fastboot right? As in the words "USB connected" appears on your phone.
From there you can flash a rom.

I can flash fastboot files which I dont want to do.. I want to flash custom ROMs which require root.
The ap fastboot worked for me but when i restarted the phone it still wont connect with mass storage. i do not own a motorola usb cable mine is an LG and i dont really have money to buy one. bought the phone on ebay and it did not ship with one so ive been using this. it only connects as charging.
My Xperia Ray is originally from SFR. Simlock is removed (code from SFR).
I tried to unlock bootloader using control point method - S1Tool said it's OK (I don't know how to check if it is really OK). I flashed new radio (v.77) without problem using flashtool.
Now I'm trying to enter fastboot mode to change kernel and ROM - no success. Nothing happens if I connect the telephone to PC with Vol+ pressed (it just starts charging). Nothing if I start it Vol+ pressed (it just starts normally). The LED is never flashing blue.
I tested another Xperia Ray (from Bouygues Telecom) - the same thing, no fastboot mode.
Any suggestions?
So,did you have the drivers properly installed on your PC?
You can find it while installing Flashtool.
install drivers from folder in flashtool and then :
1. Disconnect phone from USB
2. Turn off phone (make sure you have at least 50% battery) and wait 30 seconds.
3. Hold the 'Volume UP key' WHILE inserting the USB. --> LED turns blue = fastboot mode.
4. Leave the phone turned off
Sure, the driver is installed.
Nothing happens when I try to connect it Vol+ pressed, NOTHING.
The PC does not see the phone, the phone goes to charging, the LED does not flash blue.
:crying:
no os no recovery no pc detection
hi i'm having a similar problem With my xperia ray
where i have done this:
went into recovery mode via pvyparts
formated system formatted cache formatted dalvik caches
then partioned the sd card
then selected reboot recovery
stuck in boot logo
then phone turned off
pc will not detect the phone
installed 4.2 adb drivers pc companion drivers
flashtool will not detect the phone either
thank you for all the help
Hello Experts,
This was the best phone I ever owned. It has best in class features (camera, touch, perf ..n ofcourse cost etc.). After the eight month of mighty use i got notification from "SUS" that ICS is now available on your device. Tried Upgrading but in next hour it was showing me touch/hang issues. So reverted back to 2.3* GB.
After a month someone said try manual upgrade of 4.0 using SE flashtool. Tried and result was almost same just that this time it was random.
Again thought of going back to GB. It worked. Used Device for another month without issues. And one night suddenly it went dead. Thought that could be the case of out charge. Did Charge using USB Cable/Power cord method but result was same. It never booted after that.
One day thought of connecting my car charger then it shown "RED" LED indicator. searched on google, someone said battery issue. Tried replacing battery with same model phone which my friend owns. But Result was same.
Finally went to Sony Service Center (Pune, India). They said phone cannot be recovered. I asked them to replace whatever it takes Upto.
Since phone was brought up from import method i couldnt claim warranty.
Sorry for the long email, now question to the experts here
1.) Can this phone recovered? I tried SUS/Flashtool my phone is not getting detected.
2.) Is there any possibility that Motherboard/chips can be replaced to get this phone into functional state.
3.) Anything else can be suggested. (Except buying new phone . i already own Spice CSLMI410)
Can u use ur device in flashmode or fastboot mode?

guess it was sorking anyway, it looks your kernel is fine, so check in flashtool if the device connects not in drivers list
if it doesnt connect, unpack ftf you can see some system,data and so on image files flash them via fastboot(unlock bootloader)
if when you press and hold the volume down button while pluging the usb cable in, green light just lights up, it means there is hope bro :good: I believe after that, you need to go to a folder named something like "x10_libraries" in the flashtool folder and need to find fastboot.exe. oh, at the same time, you should download a kernel suitable for you device which includes cwm recovery and copy that .img file to the same folder from the last sentence. then you should write(in cmd of course) "fastboot flash boot something.img". I believe it'll work, at least no harm to try and I guess this is the last possibility for your beloved xpeia...
Is it possible to recover from bricking? not able to connect via usb, it says its USB device not recognised the usb has malfunctioned and cannot be recognised

For fastboot or flashmode, press either the up or down button and plug the usb in. When the LED is lit, release the button.
Can you edit the thread title? This won't help other users finding relevant info at all unless they click it because of the clickbait-like title.

To go to flashmode on flashtool you need to put the firmware on the correct folder. Where have you placed the ftf file?
Do you have unlocked bootloader?
If not, then fastboot is not for you and have option to use Pc Companion to repair your software if the problem is in there.
Did you install flashmod drivers for your phone?
What happen if you connect your phone switched off with hold down the button volume - and connect in the same time usb cabel to the phone?
Did you see green light?

i didnt put it in a specific folder, at the moment its in the download folder.
but the ftf file is loading perfectly, the problem is when it says to connect the phn and doesnt detect it .
i connected the usb holding the vol down button and the red led turned into green, but the pc starts showing usb device not recognised.

no bootloader is locked.
it had the original stock firmware without any modification(not even rooted) before it went dead.
the same thing happens with pc companion it doesnt detect the phn.
and yes the green light turns on.
Like i say before. Don't wait Pc companion to recognise your phone.
Just turn off the phone, charge it good, after that connect with Companion WITHOUT turn on the phone or what you want and continue with the steps.
Doesnt flash mode work even with a locked bootloader?
Maybe you haven't installed USB drivers. Go to local disk C then flash tool and then open drivers and install the drivers for your device.
And then check flash boot again.

Flashmod is for device with locked bootloader and flash on stock files.
Fastboot is for device with unlocked bootloader and for flash on custom / different from stock files.
Fastboot will not do the work after the author has locked buuloader.
Better use Flashtool with flashmode or Sony Pc Companion or Xperia Comapnion, again with flashmod / green light.

and thats why fastboot drivers are working fine.
It is normal to not recognize the phone after not loaded operating system.
In the video I will share, will also see that there are unknown devices, but this is the menu models to indicate the program right model and proceed to download and install the software.
Just try it, if i understand you.
