Hey there,
Was on Dexter's Froyo 1.2b. Phone froze up, had to pull battery.
After pulling the battery, it won't reboot. Just stays on the Moto logo forever.
Will not go into recovery mode, but will go into bootloader.
Tried flashing a few different ROMs onto it with RSD, no luck.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

try this
remove your sdcard and just leave sim card in our phone and boot..wait for it ..if after 10 minutes moto logo still there..pull out your battery and put it back into phone
press power button , press the Vol + button for 30 seconds as soon as the Moto Logo shows up
if you see the recovery option select the wipe data/ factory reset option and then reboot..
I had exactly the same problem (and a few people too)
sorry...but you can't do anything!
I tried to flash my phone numerous time, and can't get into recovery!
only solution is to send phone to motorola service
PS. this is 100% connected with dexter's froyo...so it would be nice that we collect some info why is this happening on some phones......

Did you end up sending yours out to motorola service? Were they able to fix your phone? I think resar also had a similar problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821210 (before Dexter's ROM)
It is wrong that there is no way to deal with that problem. I also had it a few weeks ago.
Method 1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892026
Method 2: Get a second battery that is charged up ( at least 40 % or so..) and then get into the bootloader and reflash your custom ROM.
Method 3: Charge up your phone ( do not connect it to PC ) with the wall charger. When the phone wants to boot automatically, pull out the battery and set it in again. When the phone tries again to boot, pull the battery out and set it in again. My XT720 wanted to boot after 5-10 minutes or so when it was charging up. You should do that until your phone has enough battery to get into the bootloader.
In my opinion the problem is that the battery does not charge up anyway?
It worked for me with a second battery that was charged up for 50 % and then I reflashed custom ROM with RSD Lite.
Just ask if you don't understand anything
Did you get into RSD Lite & bootloader mode?

Interesting! So, the idea is that when battery power is too low the flash is either ineffective or perhaps disabled by some low-level hardware check? It does seem plausible. I hope I don't ever have to try this.
battery is not a problem (at least in my case)
I have original milestone which have the same battery as xt, so I always charged battery at 100%...
motorola did repair my phone, but now I am afraid of flashing 2.2 back, because it will surely stuck at M logo again (I tried it two times already )
PS. tried flashing ALL available flashes (even original korean 2.2), and nothing happened..
I just couldn't boot into recovery
So when you got into the bootloader mode, was there shown something like "battery low cannot program"?
Or what do you mean exactly with "I just couldn't boot into recovery "?

Mine bricked today also using Dexter 1.3. This was my replacement phone (other one had audio jack issue, hardware not software). My battery died and couldn't get it to reboot, would just cycle the moto logo then sometime the dex froyo logo. I'm flashing back to stock right now,then reverting ti 1.2b was a more stable build.

ok, tried doing the official ota update about 2 days ago, but once it tried doing the update, my phone gets stuck at the (M) logo.
I cannot boot it up in anyway possible, and my battery is dead so i cant start it up while plugged in USB, but if its plugged into the wall itll start up and im able to get into boot loader etc...
ive tried putting a recovery img on root of sd card and applying as an update.zip file and getting an sdcard error status 7.
my phone was never rooted, all stock. any help>
power off your phone, plug it into wall charger and let it charge up. while its charging up download a 2.1 sbf,
SHOLS_U2_02.31.0_UCASHLSMR2EMEAB1B805C.0R_PDS003_USASHLS00RTEU_P042_A005_HWp2a_1FF.sbf.gz (google it)
Then download RSD Lite (google it)
Then when your phone is charged boot into bootloader (hold up on keyboard and press power button)
connect to pc via usb, open rsd lite, make sure phone shows up connected, load sbf you downloaded and press start and let it do its thing.
should bring you back to stock 2.1.
hope this helps
well thats the thing, ive let it sit plugged into a wallcharger for hours upon hours, the secon i plug it in, it turns on by itsself and sits at the moto M screen, and once i unplug it i cant do that.
i am able to get it to the screen where you can wipe/data factory reset, wipe cache, reboot and apply update.zip. if i had an update file, and i did a wipe and flashed it, would that fix it? because ive tried that, but idk if its the wrong file or what, but i get a sdcard error. like status 7 on the verification step
also on getting the batt charged, i noticed when plugged into a wall screen lights up with M logo. and when i plug into computer with usb, the white light next to charger lights up?

I actually had this problem myself fairly recently. I was able to partially insert the plug into my phone until the LED turned on, but not far enough to where the Motorola logo turned on. It'll either try to fall out or plug further in, so I recommend placing it on a surface which won't have much disturbance.
After about an hour, you should have sufficient charge to mess around with the software and flash a new SBF by the bootloader, or reflash a backup through recovery. I wouldn't recommend leaving it plugged in too long like this, because it might not be very good for the phone's health.

umm .. what's about charging the battery with another phone or external charger and put it back to ur phone?
i have just the same issue ... i am sure that the battery is fully charged, cause ive charged it with another milestone ... but that one simply won't turn on ... tried different combinations of sd/simcard/battery on and off .. still the same ... Any help would be highly appreciated.
pull out the battery get back and push d-pad UP and power buttons before M logo came up. so you can flash a sbf file with rsd-lite._a
I had a Vibrant before and flashed it constantly. I soft bricked it several time and it was easy just to Odin back to stock and try again. Before I begin to flash Roms on this phone I would like to know how one would fix a bricked Nexus S. I searched "bricked Nexus S" and didn't come up with much.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Flash a stock img thru fastboot/adb. Just as painless as Odin was if not easier.
Sent from my Nexus S
Yeah I figured that much but I have never used ADB before. What are the commands to flash a stock img and where can I get a stock img? I already have ADB set up, serial # comes up when I enter - adb devices. I'm ready to root and flash but I want to be prepared for anything. I don't want to panic for ten minutes like I did the first time I bricked my Vibrant.

You should be able to snag a stock image from the development section. As far as what adb commands to use check out any of the root tutorials in development.

Hi Everyone.
I have my Nexus S for a 3 days - it's brand new. Last night i turned it off. It was about 50% charged. Today i can't turn it on. Phone is dead. What's wrong? There is no any response, even during charging (black screen).
Phone wasn't rooted. It has Android 2.3.2 update.
What can I do?

not enough information is present. you can attempt to get into bootloader / recovery, plug USB to the computer. When plugged, does the computer make a plugged in noise? if it does.. try turning it on, try using adb on it, etc.
as a last resort: if its not rooted or modified in any way, you can go back to best buy and exchange it since you said you've only had it for 3 days

First thing to do is pull the battery, let it sit a minute or two, then put the battery back in and try to boot.
Also, try booting into recovery or fastboot. With power off, press and hold volume up button, then press/hold power on switch. You should enter fastboot mode. From fastboot menu, select boot to recovery. The phone will reboot and you'll get to a screen with an "!" and an android robot on it. At that point you press hold power, then press/hold volume up (make note that this is the reverse of what you did earlier).
Once in Recovery, try wiping cache from the menu.
Reboot.
If still no good, then repeat the process but pick factory reset/wipe from the menu in recovery. Note that this will wipe all personal data and apps off the phone but it won't touch your sdcard contents.
The case with pull battery - not working.
I can't enter fastmode using 2 keys combination.
Computer don't recognize the phone. It's brick...

Last option is to try to trick it into Samsung's Download Mode (see the Odin thread in Development section), but if the keys aren't recognized you can't soft boot into it so you'll need a dongle with a resistor to get there.
Sounds like it's truly a brick at this point. You'll probably have to return it, but I'm concerned about returning a phone that has your personal data on it without being able to wipe it. Doesn't seem like much way around that at this point if you can't get fastboot or download.
get the 301k resistor JIG and then you can go into the download mode even without the 2 keys + usb plug
you can always make your own JIG if you have the materials at home or a nearby Radio shack
Thx for all Your advices
Problem was with the dead battery. The battery died during the night - i don't know why. I think the system waren't able to boot up ant start charging process.
My solution:
I took 9V battery, 2 wires and charged dead battery for a while from 9V battery. Then a put it into phone and plug in to wall charger. Charging process started
Now everything is ok
That's pretty scary that it wouldnt take a charge if run down completelty. But hey handy to know incase it happens to any of us,
If you get any repeat i would take it back to get a fresh battery of course (only right to do so).
here's hoping you never need to though

Tried unlocking nexus s last night, now it appears bricked. Cannot connect to computer to reflash as it seems to have wiped the driver. Any ideas on how to bring it back from the dead? thanks
I have managed to see the phone with fastboot. I was hoping that fastboot update, would re-image the brick. Can anyone let me know the correct syntax. I am not able to copy an image onto the phone. Thanks again
Noob {MAC User}... Please be gentle
Greetings Everyone,
Okay, so I endeavoured to root my phone last night and was successful. I ran into trouble when the clockwork recovery and superuser permissions kept getting removed each time I reboot.
Now, I'm at the Google splash screen with no way to move forward. I'm a mac user and I don't really get the adb thing. Got adb to work with mac from a youtube video, but still not sure what commands to run.
What I've done so far:
- wiped cache
- wiped/factory data reset
- retraced my steps by using terminal to setup superuser permission from this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=927838)
What I think:
- maybe in all of my clicks I removed the ROM, so the phone doesn't have a ROM to work with.
This maybe a really infantile conclusion, but I know there's a solution (had a rooted G1 that I flashed all the time and thought I bricked once but was able to get it back to stock).
Eagerly waiting for a reply... no cell phone if this can't be fixed.

It would be easier to help you if we knew exactly what you did that caused the problem. You said you tried to unlock it...you mean fastboot oem unlock or something else?
If you can get into fastboot, you're not totally lost, but the computer needs to see the phone to do it.
I'm working in a vacuum here on what your real problem is, but without further details, the things you can try are boot into recovery (from the fastboot mode select boot recovery)...if you're stock recovery, press/hold power, then volume up once you see the android "!". From there wipe cache and whatever else it will let you wipe. Try rebooting. IF that didn't work go back to recovery and try a factory reset of the phone (will delete all your apps and stuff on the phone, but not on the sdcard (pics and stuff).
If none of that works, you can still try getting Clockwork recovery on the phone via fastboot. Boot phone to fastboot and then on computer type the command "fastboot flash recovery <put file name of recovery version you're flashing here>"
Once in clockwork, you should have access to adb via the computer. On your computer go to the Development section here and download any of the various nandroid images posted there. Now you use clockwork mounts and storage menu to mount the sdcard. Then use adb to "adb push <insert path and filename of your nandroid image here> /sdcard"
Unmount the sdcard with the clockwork mounts and storage menu. Now go to the backup menu, select advanced restore and find the nandroid image and restore it.
With any luck, you should be able to boot into a fresh phone.
Hi, i've a big big problem...
I am in the situation that my battery's dead, defy won't boot and rds lite won't work.....
I'm trying the "McGyver trick" for recharge the battery and it works, now what should i do in order to keep my defy working?
Wich rom can i flash with RDS ?
Please i've tried with 3 or 4 but phone won't boot! My previous stock rom was a 2.51 (90% sure)...
You need to to enter stock recovery and do a full wipe. Then enter bootloader and flash any sbf of your choice. Always read the instructions well. Some are not downgrade-able
are u in us?
Take one of the new froyo sbfs. Maybe 177 Deblur, and flash it. By then your phone would be charged. You cannot startup yet. Wait till flashing is done.
Then pull battery. Connect phone to wall charger (not usb port charger). Wait for 10mins. Now turn on phone and then hold volume down. Enter recovery complete wipe and then let it reboot.
You should be good to go. But remember that you cannot get back to 2.51 or 2.21 series. Anyway your phone will be good and then you can enjoy further modding instead of returning to eclair 2.1.
Ok, i've flashed the t-mobile one, i need it only for root->recovery->MIUI, i don't care about wich version is
Now i have a problem, i think i've damaged the battery, it doesent been recognized and charghed (? symbol) and when i boot up it gives me a "cool down battery" message and powers off... i think i must replace it with a new one... i hope isn't an hardware problem...
Some people went on using the Mcguyver trick and end up battery damaged, and this might happened in your case too. Try a friend's battery first before you jump out getting a new battery. Next time you should connect to at least a 100Kohms resistor to lower down the voltage before injecting direct to your battery when performing the trick.
I've not friends with a defy i've ordered it on ebay, should arrive in 2 days...
Anyway i think let it charge with this method for less 15 minutes can't damage it, and gives the needed power to flash with rds lite.
Now my battery has a red X on the top, i think i've fused it! XP Let's see what happens with a new one
Now a question: Wich is the most simply rootable rom i can flash with RDS?
Maybe an European one for warrancy prouposes?
Now i've the leaked T-Mobile, 2.2.2 i think
Hi I want to know how can I unbrick my Samsung galaxy s 4g. I believe I bricked because now when I turned on only stock in the logo. Please can you help me with this. I'm leontx's wife. Thanks
If it's just showing the logo and it's there for over 15 minutes, you'll probably need to reflash something.
I'd suggest using one of the one-clicks from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19601810&postcount=2 and I'd probably suggest the second (Basic with a Twist) choice.
First, you need to get the phone into download mode. Easiest way to do that is to unplug USB cable, pull the battery out, plug the battery back in, and plug the phone back to the computer. Hold the volume buttons on the left and turn on the phone (while holding down the buttons). It should ask you if you want to go into download mode. Press volume+ to confirm, then unplug the phone from your computer and plug it back in (to make the computer realize that there's a device there). Now run the one-click to reflash your phone. If the flash fails, restart the phone and try again. If the phone reboots to a screen showing a little phone and a yellow warning sign, perfect... just flash it again. That's the alternate download screen, and I get it everytime I use Heimdall/Odin/Kies to flash it.

Hello,thanks for you help,I'm trying to fix my wife's galaxy s after she wiped and factory reset the phone when tried to recovery by herself.Now the phone is stock in the galaxy s 4g logo forever,I tried to get into recovery or download mode but i couldn't.She told me that the phone was giving her a error message about the keyboard app,then she removed the batt and put it back, the battery showed her almost dead like 1% when was like 79% few seconds before,then she called t-mobile and the person told her to do the recovery mode with the bottoms, she did it and the person ask how much batt the phone had, she said 79%.then the person sugested to full charge the batt,and call them(tmobile) back.So here we go... lol:laugh:.She tried to fix it and got into recovery mode and wiped and factory reset the phone,I dont know what she was doing and removed the batt to reboot the phone.and here we are now.When try to get into download mode the pc not recognize it say USB device not reconognized and the phone just show a loading logo but nothing happen.I just want to know if is possible to fix this or toss it,the phone is rooted with a custom rom,I tried with another batt but the same results.Im realy want to recover this phone to give it to my mother in law thank you so much

if you can boot into recovery mode, reflash your current rom and then backup and wipe everything exept sdcard then flash again.
Sounds like the battery crapping out on you & crashing while it was doing something important. Usually, a factory reset and new battery can fix. But, If the reset failed, it's not a biggie. find any of the one clicks that you might like to try (lumin30 has a awesome guide/thread w/ links). Batteries are cheap. Sometimes they will swell up when they die. If it spins easy when placed on flat surface is an easy check. There are a couple threads with links to 10 buck replacements around too.

I have read about recovery mode but all I get when I press and hold the vol. down and power buttons is an oversimplified screen that looks like when I plug into the computer. The backup doesnt even freaking exist anymore on my sd card so I cant restore what was backed up.

Please don't tell me I have to go through all that splicing cables n crap just to charge this battery. THERE is no way I CANNOT charge the battery? even with the phone off? How can I resolve this? this is an absolute nightmare. I'm not messing with this rooting/ custom rom stuff after this
You'll need to find a way to charge your battery. You can use someone else's phone or get an external charger of you don't want to do any wiring.
