Another bricked phone,new prob,stock recovery not working!!

Does anyone have this problem? I`ve searched and cant find a solution.
I had sense rom on my phone then decided to go back to jboogie rom. I booted into stock recovery(power+vol down) and when i tried to tap bottom right of screen the screen wouldn`t respond so I couldn`t do a factory reset. I then tried volume up=power button to flash sbf through RSDlite. Nothing came on my phone screen telling me to attach usb, it juat stayed blank, although rsdlite said phone was connected so i started to flash sbf anyway. Then on the phone screen it said software update in progress, once it finished flashing, instead of saying rebooting phone on RSDlite it came up with "pass" and the phone wont boot or do anything at all now.
Sorry for long message, but hope someone can help.
Thanks
Mark

try to flash a stock rom sbf with rsdlite and after that, do a wipe in recovery mod. to enter recovery press power+ vol down, after the droid apears, push vol up+vol down. You have to see then the stock recovery menu. I did in the same way and is working. I think is now so easy to really brick this phone.

Thanks for your reply, unfortunately when I try to get into stock recovery by pressing power+volume down I dont get anything on the screen at all anymore, nothing happens. Its the same when I press power+volume up to try to flash it too.

not even white led?
maybe your battery is 2low?
if u see the white led u can still go into bootloader and flash .sbf with rsd lite

Hi there,
I can't believe its dead!!
I have tried every rom available and tried out all the .sbf's too. A couple of times i thought i have bricked it but it was always done to user error (or a lack of understanding at times on my part). These Defy's seem to be almost bullet proof!
I had the "pass message" from RSDLite and all i had to do was flash the "2.2 bootonly" sbf to get past it. I have had corrupted boot loader messages and more but it just keeps coming back for more once things the right things are done in the right sequence.
Assuming your battery is ok, I would try installing one of the latest froyo .sbf's with RSDLite 3.9 only completion do a wipe from the stock recovery (hold pwr + vol down). Press vol up and vol down to activate the menu, select wipe with volume up or down, press power to go. The after rooting apply one of the excellent roms from Jboogie & Pays.
Good luck... sure it will be fine.

If you have only black screen, you have to flash the latest undowngradable rom you flashed, then you you finally get to moto logo, you will be able to go to recovery and wipe. After it it will boot just fine.

I had the exact same problems, i tried to reflash. It ended up not showing anything on the screen in any of the button combinations. It did however show in RSD Lite and after i tried to flash the chinese rom it said "pass" after that i only got a white led and it no longer was detectable through usb. I tried to recharge the battery so i left it on white light with charger plugged over the night... No success. It's now in service and hope they fix it.
I would like to point out to anyone trying to help me that bootloader no longer shows up, neither recovery menu.

I had a similar thing when i flattened my battery half way through flashing an .sbf. I borrowed a friends battery, flashed the boot only and all was fine. There is a couple of pointers on the forum on how to charge your battery if you dont have a working rom (it wont charge without one! You have to get the motorola logo followed by the battery animation to charge your battery).
In your case im pretty certain you could have saved yourself the hassle of sending it off for service.
Andy

Thanks for all the replys, I have already had the dead battery a couple of weeks ago and "revived" it by putting the + and _ wires of usb cable into the battery of the defy, but this seems different, I cant get anything to work on it, no roms will flash and all I get is black screen. I do get the white led but only sometimes. It is very change indeed, I will try some of the solutions you guys said tomorrow and let yous know how I got on.
Thanks again
Mark

I did not want to risk charging out of wires, i have unlimited warranty on it after all so i gave it to service hoping a fix will be made by guys who know what they where doing (i hope).
In any case i see -qpzmaluk- tried off of wires and nothing happened.

I tried to flash again this morning using all the techniques above but I cant get rsdlite to recognise my phone either now. All i get is when connected to usb is the white led, nothing else happens when i try to go into recovery etc.
Mark

Huge thanks to EDITION I got my phone working again.
I did what he said about flashing last undowngradeable rom and surprisingly it came back to life. Brilliant mate, i cant thank you enough.
Mark

how did u do that? if u said your rsd lite cant recognize your phone?

I kept trying to connect to pc with usb and rsdlite eventually found it so I took the chance of flashing froyo 3.4.3-the one I last had on the phone, and surprisingly this time it went throughht to the end of booting the phone and now I have everything working again including stock recovery etc.
One thing to mention was that I couldn`t get into pwer+vol up or down before I flashed this time I flashed my phone. I just connected it to pc and luckily rsdlite recognised it this time and I just pressed flash button, then eventually phone booted up. So something was wrong and it didn`t flash it the normal way by going into stock recovery on phone but it worked

Droid 2 Global Bootloader Missing

Hoping someone here may have some ideas. ..
Picked up a couple Global's the other day on eBay. Two of the three work great. Was able to get them unlocked, rooted, and band unlocked. They are working great on T-mobile! The issue I'm having is with the third one. When I enter the bootloader, I get nothing but a black backlit screen with no writing. When I attempt to use RSD Lite, I can't get it to recognize the phone at all.
So next I tried booting the phone normally, and then hooking it to the PC. RSD Lite does recognize it that way. When I begin the flash process, the phone attempts to reboot into flash mode, screen goes black, same backlit screen with no writing. I would like to point out that I am doing all this with a 5-wire factory cable, so none of the usual button combo mistakes, undercharged battery issues, etc. apply here. If you have on of these, you don't need a battery in the phone at all. With and without battery, with and without factory cable...hasn't mattered, no bootloader no matter what. The issue is that the bootloader acts as if it just isn't even on the phone. I know there are several ways to reload that consumer replacement to a droid 1, but I haven't found anything for a 2. The other thing limiting what I am able to do is that the phone is running .629, which means no root or CWM, so those couple tricks are out the window at this point also, and because of the bootloader issue I am unable to downgrade using RSD Lite or any of the bootable CD options that usually work for phone stuck on .629.
So at this point I'm figuring the phone is just stuck the way it is, but I thought I'd throw it out there and see if any of you guys had any similar experiences. Thanks

maybe bricked, could try manually installing update.zip from android recovery, if you can get to that
How to enter Android system recovery
Power down the phone.
Slide out the keyboard.
Press and hold the X button on the physical keyboard.
Press the power button.
Once you see a warning sign with an android robot appear, press the Search button on your physical keyboard if you're running froyo/2.4.x firmware. For gingerbread/4.5.x firmware, press Volume Up and Down buttons.
and be sure you are using

Ah Shadow! I was hoping you'd see this. Let me clarify a little bit.
1. I am able to get phone to boot into OS. I did try to install the update.zip already but I'm still having the same problem with the boot loader.
2. I know about the easy sbf, and tried that with this particular phone, but because of the problem with the boot loader when easy sbf or RSD Lite switch the phone, or attempt to switch into flash mode, the computer no longer recognizes the phone.
3. I did think about rooting the phone to try to open up a few other options to at least get around the problem. Since it's on .629 already though I'm limited to rooting using easy sbf as far as I've understood, but again since I'm having the issue with the boot loader that hasn't been an option I have been able to successfully use.
4. The power button on the phone isn't working, so I'm unable to use the key combo to access the boot loader; however, I have a factory cable...now I say factory cable not meaning the stock charging cable...but the 5-wire factory cable. Typically with Motorola phones using this cable you simply remove the battery, and then with no battery in the phone hold down both volume buttons and plug the factory cable in and it automatically reverts to the boot loader.
I know that there is a consumer replacement boot loader for the droid 1 to fix issues like this, but I haven't seen one for the two. The other issue is that the replacement is an sbf file which ill be unable to use, and didn't know if that was something that would exist as an update.zip that could be flashed through the stock recovery

don't need power button
with phone off, hold up arrow and connect usb cable
should boot directly to bootloader

yeah we're on the same page there. When I do that, instead of getting the bootloader like I normally would, I'm just getting a blank black backlit screen, like the boot loader isn't there. Instead of getting bootlader D0.11 ect, It's just a blank screen. It doesn't matter which method I use to access it, both volume buttons and usb, up arrow and usb, whether there is a battery in the phone or not, I'm still getting the same result. If I boot the phone normally, and then try to let RSD switch it for me, it does it, and then I get the same black screen and the flash mode failure error. Like I said there is a consumer replacement bootloader for the 1 that I've been able to use to fix this problem in the past, but if one exists for the two I haven't been able to locate it. So at this point I have a working OS, a working stock recovery, and no boot loader

think there was a 608 bootloader file, can't remember where i saw it
but it didnt work on 629 anyways
you might be able to root with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37438602

Yeah I tried that last night. I saw where you were having problems with it too. I had seen where a few months back there was someone else that was having this issue that you were trying to help walk them through, but the thread kinda died off, so I wasn't sure if there was ever a resolution to it. Ok well thanks for your time. I'll be sure to post an update for people coming behind me if I manage to get anywhere with it.

if you are still working on this a Bootloader Only

If you're still looking to root, try Framaroot from here. It worked for me on .629. No idea about the bootloader however . Good luck though!

[Q] Stuck on blue Motorola logo and can't fastboot or adb

Background Information:
Droid MAXX (XT1080)
Rooted
Write Protection - Off
Safestrap
Ok so I rooted my phone and turned write protection off and yesterday I couldn't get touchless control to train for the life of me so I decided to boot into safestrap this morning and I fixed permissions and then went to do a factory reset and selected format /system wihthout thinking about it...
Now all my phone does is turn on and stay at the blue Motorola logo...
So I tried to fastboot and rsdlite but neither will see the phone so I tried to adb devices -l and that won't see the phone either.
So any ideas on what I can do or did I hard brick my phone since write protection is off.
Thanks,
Ryan

Adb won't work unless you're booted to the OS. You need to boot into your bootloader. With vol off press and hold vol down and pwr for about 5 sec then release. This will get you into bootloader where you can use fastboot, rsd, and such.

Yeah I tried booting into fastboot along with loading it into rsdlite but it didn't see the device since it wasn't really booting past the motorola logo. :/

If you are properly booting to the bootloader you should never see the moto logo.
Try this exactly (when the phone is stuck on the M):
1. Press Power and Vol - at the same time until the screen turns off
2. release power button once screen turns off, continue holding vol -
you should now be in the bootloader screen. Try it a couple of times if it doesnt work... I had this happen once or twice and it was a ***** to get the phone into the bootloader.

With all due respect, you must be doing something wrong or perhaps messing up some of the terminology. By following the steps I stated above it will boot your phone to the bootloader. It will say AP Fastboot mode at the top of the screen. And some other things. Then below that it will have your options in blue...normal power up, recovery, barcode...etc. Getting to that screen does not show the boot logo (in your case the Motorola logo) You also said you tried loading it into rsd. Well rsd won't work unless you're in fastboot mode ( the screen I mentioned above.)
Sent from My Droid Ultra

Yeah I have been in the AP Fastboot mode plenty of times before with this phone and it's not working this time I have tried numerous times this morning. With the Write protection - off I'm assuming when I formatted the /System /data /Cache partitions it messed everything up...
I submitted a claim (my phone was stolen) and will be getting a replacement tomorrow.

Hello Guys,
My OnePlus One screen broke, it was in my drawer for more than 15 days without charge, i connected charger for 1 hour it just went from 1% to 5% but i didnt thought much about it as my priority was to change screen, i bought touch+lcd with frame and replaced it myself, but it wasnt powering up then i tried putting the backpanel on, it then booted up to the home screen, but the battery indicator wasnt moving up i powered off the phone after that it never turned on, i researched a bit and found out the after long period of time if you dont charge your phone might have problem charging and there was one suggestion which i followed and that was charge OPO using usb cable attached to PC, i left it for somewhat 7hours and it powered on i thought it might be the problem of ROM i flashed official H2OS (regret selecting this rom) using TWRP, it was a catastrophe my phone wont Enter Bootloader or Recovery, and wont even boot to system, it seemed i hardbricked my device, i used Oneplus one recovery tool 64GB to bring my device to life but after that no matter what i do my device wont enter to bootloader as the volume up button stopped working too : tried advance reboot, powerup+volumeup, opo toolkit.
Help me, i want to root my device and unlock bootloader once again.

Is your volume up button actually broken or does it still work and can you boot into something? If it still works (hold on, this idea might be a little crazy xD) you could try completely hard bricking (no joke! you cannot get into Qualcomm download mode with a booting device) and restoring it with the msm8974downloadtool from the oneplus one unbricking guide which should theoretically fix everything that is wrong.

Even If my volume button dosent work then why wont it enter bootloader via advance reboot it just restarts to system after selecting reboot to bootloader,so i should hard brick my device once again, P.S. i have done that twice before though.

Attempted to restore pixel 2 - now bricked? Help request.

I was trying to restore by custom rom Pixel 2 to stock to give to my father, I downloaded the latest restore pack from google and flash it with flashall.bat, it seemed to be flashing OK but then showed an error at the end, so i tired to reboot and try again but after rebooting it now won't show anything on the screen.
Now the phone screen is black, if I told the power button for approx 30seconds it vibrates and quickly flashes something on the screen, but I can't get into the bootloader and my laptop doesn't see it as a fastboot device.
I let it power down overnight and could get into the charging screen, but after leaving it to charge for a while it still won't go to bootloader mode when i turn it on with power down held down.
Did I brick it? any help much appreciated!
