Backflip Bricked

I was messing around with the camera and suddenly it goes to the White Screen with the Motorola logo in the middle. Its just stuck there. I've pulled the battery for at least 30 minutes, tried holding down, up, camera, while turning the phone on, no luck. Every time I power it up its just the same white screen. It's doing nothing.
Are there any other manual methods of resetting this thing? Anything that can be done through the USB cable?
I've tried messing around with RSD lite but kinda useless if there is no image to flash from. I see there are no OS files available for this thing. I'm at a total loss.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Try removing the user data and cache partition from recovery

Man I can't even get into recovery mode. Literally, nothing gets me out of the white motorola screen unless I pull the battery.

call ATT and get a replacement. its gotta be under the 1 year manufacturs warranty
tell them what happened like u wrote here and they have to refund you one
and if they dont
call again and make up another hardware fault or software fault story

Have you tried removing the SD card?

Thanks for the suggestions. However, I didn't purchase it from ATT so I"m unable to return it. As far as the memory card, I have tried this, no luck. It actually happened when I was trying to take a snap shot without an SD. It prompted me that it wouldn't save the image without an SD, then it crashed.

Even if you buy from a 3rd party reseller, the phone is still under warranty and should still be covered through AT&T. Complain to enough people and get what you want.

Yea thats what i've been told. Guess I'll try a few stores and stir up some raise havoc. Thx guys.

You could try flashing the chinese flash-file http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651417 It did not work on my phone, but supposedly this build has the cliq's root exploit present in it. It would not flash to my phone, but I think that may have been a driver issue. It couldn't hurt...

So I tried a couple stores, no luck. Since I bought it from a third party they need the number it was purchased under along with either the receipt or individual who bought it. I have none of that. So...I'm screwed. Ill try the chinese idea but don't know if that will work since the pc doesn't seem to detect the phone via USB in the state that its in. My last resort will be motorola directly and I know that will take forever. Any other ideas are greatly appreciated.

Phone dead > no boot, no lights

I've posted this in the CM9 Alpha6 thread but didnt have any response so trying here since it may not be ROM related. I'm S-ON and have been running A6 for 5-6 weeks and besides the battery drain and random reboots it was ok. Two days ago I tried the WiFi tethering for the first time and it work well for a few hours. However, suddenly it rebooted 3 times in a loop and went dead after the last reboot. I tried all combinations of pressing buttons (power, hboot, recovery...) , replacing battery, charger and so on and it just doenst power up and doesnt show any ligths. Connected to the laptop it doenst see the phone since is not powered on. The battery doesn't look swollen or defective and it was fully charged when the phone went dead.
I went yesterday to the TMobile store and tried with a new battery and didnt do anything. Also tried different chargers and USB to laptop, nothing, no response.
Any ideas why the phone went dead? Is it definitely gone? Should i add it to the collection of paperweights?
Thanks a lot

Also, is there anyway to wipe the phone's data? TMobile told me i can get a replacement but im worried all my data is in the dead phone ill be sending back

In almost ALL circumstances if you can't get in, they can't either. At least until it's sent back and you already have your new phone. Then HTC doesn't really have the time OR inclination to do forensic system analysis of every phone and will just go about replacing its guts & sending it back out as a refurb.
It having been a commercial "semi-flop" I persoanlly believe they will be happy when they all die and we all shut the hell up about ICS & JB. LOL

I dont worry about TMo or HTC bringing ICS/JB for any of my devices, since that will mean again getting read of crapware, settings....personally i prefer any of the multiple ROMs and thats part of the Android beauty...
Now, since i got the replacement i have to worry about sending my old phone back and it ending up resold without being wiped....do you know any part of the phone where a screwdriver tip (or hammer) will ensure the phone memory is gone?

If you could get it to come back on even just to HBoot I could tell you how to fry it BUT it would just take it back to where it is right now but with the partition tables borked. I can understand your concerns but I honestly think you're worrying about something that won't happen. Even if they were to use the internal memory again (IF they could) they would do a partition repair & reformat before reinstalling the stock ROM. I would be concerned though about sending one back with physical damage. That COULD turn into a "GOTCHA". KWIM?

Judging by your description, I'd say your phone has a hardware problem. If no lights are coming on, and there's absolutely no response, it's either the motherboard or the display.
But nothing HTC can't handle. They should be able to fix it and send it back no problem. Very rarely will they send you a new phone. They always try to save the phone you send in.
For software, they can probably restore it using their factory special cable connection (forgot what it's called).

That being the case it would still be sent back out to someone else after the repairs. TMobile will send a replacement to a customer and the borked one is sent back to them in the same box the replacement came to you in. At least that's what's happened to everyone I know (including myself) that has gone thru TMobile instead of having to deal directly with HTC.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ +1 couldn't have said it better myself

I think you are right and there is some HW problem, I was wondering if it had to do with me having the WiFi tethering on since i just switched it on for the first time 3-4 before it went dead and the phone was hotter than usual. Maybe nothing to do but i thought it could be a possibility

Just as an update and to post my experience replacing the phone; since i had insurance, TMo sent me the a new phone ... in less than 24h !!!, seems if you report before 5pm you get the new phone in your hands the AM of the next business day, pretty good.
The phone came on a special package, with return labels, but without SIM, SD, battery or back cover, just the "carcass". Put the old phone sim and old battery in and i worked fine....then spent the next hour unlocking, recovery, flashing ROM and updating apps+data....done and my new phone is practically the same as the old was.
Now i have 7 days to return the old one in the same package or they will charge me $300....probably im paranoid about the data in the old phone, but after reading http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/08/apple-amazon-mat-honan-hacking/all/ i immediately went and added 2-step verification to my google account...
So in summary, very good replacing process from TMo (if you have insurance), and added extra security to my GAccount...for the rest, just crossing fingers that nothing bad happens in the future

Try another rom although it sounds like an app. Can't be the phone on that many of them. You only one reporting this problem so has to be something you are putting on phone.

both phones are doing this on stock. no apps installed

My friend had 8 replacements through verizon before he got a good one. So try a couple more times maybe. I know it is really inconvenient but honestly the GS3 is the best Android on Verizon right now (arguably atleast) and they probably won't let you trade up to a Razr HD Maxx which is the only one I would recommend.

I'm having the same problem apparently. I just bought this phone used and activated it monday night. That night, i plugged the phone into the charger while i slept and the phone shut off overnight. Phone wouldnt turn on with the power button - required a battery pull to restart.
Going through tuesday, the phone worked fine. However, in the evening, the phone was idle for a few hours, and when I went to check it before going to bed I found it had powered off again! Required another battery pull to restart...plugged it into the charger, and went to sleep. When I woke up, I again found (for the third time) that the phone had powered down, and required another battery pull to restart.
Going into wednesday, phone is working fine. Then I leave it idle in the afternoon for a few hours during work, and when I get ready to drive home, I find it is again powered down, requiring a battery pull to restart (fourth time in less than 2 days).
Now I go to visit verizon, and the rep tells me (after I think he was looking through some company forums for answers) that I should try clearing the cache from every app, since maybe the data was corrupted during my OTA update to JB (which i installed monday night), and some app was causing this problem. So I do that, and the same thing happens again overnight...battery pull etc...
I'm figuring next I'm going to do a factory data reset, possibly tonight. This is supposed to be my sister's christmas gift! Hah...trying to work the bugs out before tuesday. Any thoughts?

Starting a post with I'm not crazy sound like something a crazy person would say.... just saying.... But I agree with the earlier post that it could be app or rom based and only effecting the screen. These are the options I see you having:
1. Try freezing any apps you've installed one at a time and see if it stops
2. Make nandriod and try another rom and then come back if that doesnt fix it
3. Try this thread to clear everything and upgrade http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436
-This method formats internal and external sd card AND bumps you up to rooted JB in the process. Use VRBLK3.
4. Get a replacement phone

These options might work for the OP, but only #4 could work for me since i'm not rooting this phone (its for my sister). If I find a fix for my issue, i'll post here.

Are you guys using an sd card? If so it might be a corrupt file that the system goes over and gets stuck on, messing the cell up. Did you try making a backup on pc, formating your card (fat32) and putting you stuff back on it? Or take the card out and see if you get the same problem without it. If you're going thru all the replacements then its gotta be something that you use in common with all of em. GL!

[Q] Phone won't recognize ANY SIM card

I went to sleep Thursday night and the phone was working fine and had about 75% charge. Next day the battery was dead (and cold, so if it did that "burn up the battery thing" then it finished up many hours ago). When I managed to charge it up enough so that it would boot, it said that there was no SIM card installed. I was using a 5 month old Straight Talk Mobile SIM. I am NOT rooted and running the V21y release as pushed by LG.
I pulled the SIM and put my old T-Mobile SIM in. Still says "no SIM card", the exact same message as when I boot it up with no card at all. I have checked the IMEI and it looks correct (it's not all zeroes).
I've put my Straight Talk Mobile SIM into an old phone (Motozine ZN5) and it works; it even delivered a text message sent during the dead time. After doing that, I put the Straight Talk SIM back into my G2X and it still says No SIM card.
I have ordered a new battery (a $5 cheap one from Amazone) in the hopes that it will magically fix some problems, as folks have vaguely reported. I doubt it will fix my problem but, hey, $5 and we'll make sure.
I have done a factory reset (just the internal memory) and it did not fix the problem. I'm doing a restore right now but I don't hold out much hope. Does anyone have any other ideas? At this point I'm perfectly happy to root the thing or do anything to it, since it's not very useful if it won't connect to a network.
The only out of the ordinary thing that happened was that on Wednesday, I used the phone for turn-by-turn walking directions via Google Maps, with the GPS turned on. The GPS wasn't all that accurate but it managed to help me find the bus stop I was looking for. I had GPS on for maybe 20 minutes. At that time I had WiFi off (I think) and 4G on.
Thanks in advance for any advice. I'm also prepared for it to be "time to get a new phone"; my IMEI starts with 0125 so it's been a rocky ride.

No idea. Bump for curiosity. Hope u get it worked out.

Unfortunately jackyl has no idea.
Only other idea jackyl would have after a reset is plugging into PC, see if APX mode works to see if it didn't die.
You can have a dead battery and the phone should power up off the charger still.

Check the pins in the SIM card slot to see if one or more have broken off.

Haha jackyl in 3rd person.
Edit (in an attempt to be helpful rather than not): maybe give the sim a good wiggle to make sure it's seated properly? And yeah, checking the pins is also good. You know the sim works, but I'm wondering if the connection went bad on the board somehow. On a stock rom, I can't imagine the battery getting burnt up. I guess it's possible, and maybe that fried a component of the sim reader?

The phone appears to be fine, other than that it won't see any SIM cards. I've had each of my 3 cards in and out of it many times. All the pins look fresh and undamaged. (The take it out, blow on it, put it back in trick was the first thing I tried.)
I haven't done APX mode but my backup software (MobileGo) uses USB debugging mode to backup and restore. It was able to see the device and do a restore... hopefully that's similar?
It's possible that there was an overheat and it melted something I can't see inside the device. This is FAR from the first time I've had an overheat, though I would not think this one could be exceptionally bad since it wasn't plugged into anything at the time. It was just sitting on the desk.
Should I try opening the case and taking a look inside? I've never done that.
A symptom I forgot in my first post: it is now losing its date and time whenever I remove the battery, even just for a few seconds. (It believes it is December 31, 2006 at 7pm.) I do not remember it doing that before, even when I've booted it up without a SIM, though the last time I pulled the SIM was 5 months ago when I started with Straight Talk.

If you have had multiple overheats on a stock rom I would tend to think you have bad hardware. Can you get replacement phones on straight talk?.
As far as the date and time thing,with the battery pull that will happen. Its a symptom of pulling the battery while the phone is on. That's just a hypothesis though. I have no liknks to prove it.

[Q] Phone turning off (unroot branded phone) [Solved]

I have my HTC Ones SV rooted, with TWRP Recory. Yesterday my phone turned off few times when I was using Mobile Data. Today I can't turn wifi on and when I try to turn Mobile Data on phone turns off. I was using Saturn III Rom, but with Stock (T-Mobile.pl branded) it's the same story.
Any advice? And btw, how can I unroot my branded software and lock bootloader for warranty?

I formated SD Card and it works on PC and phone (no data has been lost). Still have some issues with phone, freezes on boot screen after restart :/
Seem like the problem is back (even without SC Card). Also I don't have wifi now (tries to turn on, but doesn't work).

I have similar problems, same ROM, but to me it looks like a SOD (screen of death) because i have to reinsert battery to power it on again... i believe it might be a side effect of internal memory/sdcard swap... usually happens to me when i take a picture and dropbox wants to sync/upload it. If my screen stays on, everything is ok, but when it goes off it's off
old.splatterhand, is it possible that it's related to sdcard swap, or am i jumping to conclusion ? Reason behind my conlusion is an odd behavior of some apps (some freeze, some crash), seems like that they prefer phone's internal memory.
Is there an easy and painless way to change back to default internal/sdcard arrangement ?

I don't know if this could be the reason. Some SOD's with dropbox picture upload i had too, but on stock rom, without swapped storage. Thought it came from intensiv testing i always do. Didn't think, someone else has this too. But its long ago, as it happened the last time. There were some updates in dropbox since last time it happened to me, maybe its related that the SOD's are gone for me.
But yes, there is an easy way to swap back storage to default, then you can try it, if problem is still there.

Yep, i gave up that idea... Too many apps are already stored on sdcard, so it would take me too much time to move them around, especially because internal memory cant store more than 1/3 of them...
I believe that my problems lie in S4 Camera app and not in internal memory switch or dropbox... That saddens me, because S4 Camera app produced much better pics than the stock Sense camera
I dont know why and how those freezes happen, but it happens after taking the picture, when screen turns off. When phone freezes, picture (file) gets corrupted and unreadable.
I also remember one time happening when gallery (S4) remained opened and phone screen turned off.
While i had dropbox auto-sync enabled it happened more often, but turning it off didnt make the problem to go away, rather it made it happen slightly more rarely.
ps. sorry to OP since it seems i went little bit offtopic :S

Hmm, thats odd. But i have no idea to help you atm.
