Maybe i'm posting in the wrong section but here's the thing.
Okay so I tried searching everywhere for a solution and I didn't find anything.
So this is what happened, I was on ICS leak 4.0.4 ICS.672.1.13.en.03 then I tried to Fxz to AT&T 2.3.5 InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID28 5.zip and it got stuck at 5/20 saying "Rebooting bootloader" the screen stayed black for a long time, so I clicked close and this is where all this happened. My phone doesn't turn on, not even Fastboot, when I plug it into the charger it doesn't do anything, but when I plug it into my laptop without battery the white led turns on but still it doesn't do anything, the laptop doesn't detect anything and when I press the buttons it doesn't react nor do anything. I don't know anymore what to do, I bought this overseas so I have no warranty and it's not an AT&T phone. If anyone went through this, I really don't know what to do.. I know it's not softbrick as I can see it. I'll be very thankful if there is a solution, but my hopes are really down..
I know I read all the guides, it said "Don't pull battery or unplug. So I didn't unplug or remove battery, I just clicked close. I really didn't know this could happend. Didn't see it in any thread or post that you can't Fxz from 4.0.4 to AT&T 2.3.5

what phone model /where did you get that zipped rom from/ do you have a stock rom ?
If you start phone and screen is black ( no bootloader image) then it's possible to be really bricked

I have locked bootloader. Btw it got stuck at 5/21 "rebooting bootloader" with a black screen after that nothing worked for me, before I tried it I had 90% of battery.

never flash a rom without instructions if you are not an experienced user you have to use RSD Lite to get back to working conditions

But I was told that if you have a locked bootloader it's really hard to hard brick your phone.

Have you tried holding down BOTH volume buttons while powering on the device to boot into AP Fastboot, and try to flash the FXZ that way?
I try that but nothing happen.

Meretail flashing with at&t rom?
It does not seem like a good idea.
You can downgrade it to http://sbf.droid-developers.org/edison/5.5.1-EDEM-27-MEARET_cfc.xml.zip with RSd Lite (Made it with RSD Lite 4.7 successfully).

So, can you even boot into AP Fastboot, or is your device not powering on at all...?
Solution
seems like ur rom chip in the motherboard has gone bad. same happened to me when trying to flash custom rom to AT&T atrix 2. Went to Motorola service center costed me $160 to get a new motherboard ...but it got fixed and worth the effort....worth a try...
So i was flash the wrong rom.
But i can't flash again because i cannot enter the AP Fastboot,both vol button n power on do nothing.

Maybe your battery is empty. Never start to flash without full battery (and not correct rom of course).
If you're feeling brave, try THIS...
Thanks for the feedback.
So i can still hold both vol button + power up to enter the bootloader if i flash fail?
I remember it stuck at 5/21 in RSDlite.

No, the bootloader is locked on the MB865. You mentioned before that trying to boot into AP Fastboot isn't responsive either, right? If you are able to do anything, you need to flash 5.5.1-EDEM-27-MEARET_cfc.xml.zip as xanadu suggested.
Always a good idea to make a CWM backup before flashing any new roms, just in case...
LOCKED??
I think my battery is empty so it black screen when i press the button.
And i got many cwm backup which i backup before my phone cannot boot.
How to restore the cwm backup if my phone can't boot?

If you're completely dead in the water, you'll have to find a way to get charge to the battery. You might try The McGuyver Method to get a charge to battery, but be very wary in doing this -you could fry your phone and/or explode your battery. If you're not comfortable doing this (and I don't recommend this if you are not savvy with electrical stuff and 'open phone surgery' you should first try and get your hands on a new OEM battery!

i tried that method on my defy 3 times .....never had issue.....but still it was quite scary for me every time.....but in the end it worked......risk is needed to be taken ......
Thanks but that way is too dangerous.I was afraid so i will send it to the Motoservice because i got no ideo for the empty battery on a dead phone.

Before you ship your device off to the netherworld of Motorubbish, try getting a new battery. It may be a faster fix and you won't have to deal with wait tine from Moto. Plus, if you've rooted and Moto is able to determine that you'll have no warranty.

Also if you are debating getting a new battery, try to get an external charger, it costs a lot less and you will be able to recover from this a whole lot easier if you have the external charger, otherwise McGyver is the only way out for you...
I would NOT take this into Motorola, especially since you failed a flash, they can see that, the first time they get it to turn on it will go to the recovery screen and say failed flash.... They may NOT give you any support.
I would try the external battery charger.
Here are a couple examples of Atrix2 external battery chargers:

thats your best bet unless you know someone with the same phone. I have a family member with the same one, so when I killed my battery during a flash I just stole that one for 5 minutes.
So i had my motorola for a year, the problem happened couple of time but not this worse. My phone(XT-720) now cannot turn on, if i power on the phone it has a black screen and the 4 button on the bottom light up. NOW sometimes the phone turn on and it get stuck on the boot up , when the logo show up the phone shut it self down. If i am lucky the phone starts up right, after about 30min it shut it self off. So then i go in the loop. I have only rooted the phone, and i have done nothing else. When i try to go to the boot menu, the phone says that the battery is too low to program anything , but my phone has about 90% of the battery. I love this phone it work fine but now it has this problem, Any tips or solution u guys can tell me?

Download the following first:
1) RSD LITE 4.9
2) MotoHelper
3) Stock ROM of your choice from this thread
After you have downloaded the above, Install MotoHelper followed by RSD Lite. Remove the battery in the phone and re-insert. Press the Power Button+Volume Up Button+ Camera Button all at once. This should take you to Bootloader mode. Connect your phone to your system using a USB cable. Now run RSD Lite in the system. Browse and find the Stock ROM (.sbf) and load it using the RSD Lite. Start flashing. This should take you to back to the Stock settings. Remember this process could take a minimum of 15 mins, please be patient .If any doubts please revert back.
Hi, I am new at this forum and i would like to ask you the following question.
recently i bought a samsung galaxy ace 2 phone and today i decided to try a custom ROM with, being a Linux geek for years...
So i chose Kyrillos Rom for my phone and after several failures i got to understand that before i try to load the custom ROM i had to upgrade my firmware and kernel as described here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1955679
So i used Odin tool , and tried to flash the new firmware as described here :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118119,before proceeding to kernel flash.
Everything went smooth , Odin showed 'pass' indication and my phone after the procedure tried to reboot...and never woke up...
From then i cannot boot my phone at all, i mean neither in usual mode by pressing the power button nor in recovery or download mode. It does not respond to any of those, the screen and the buttons are completely black no matter how many seconds i press them
When i started the procedure my battery level was at 70% and just to be sure i connected it to USB port so as not to empty the battery during the procedure..Now that i connected it to its' charger it does not show the charging indicator
Any ideas as to what happened and how i can fix my problem?
Thank you in advance and keep up the good job!!!

It seems that i followed the exact directions in the posts mentioned, but my phone is I8160P and not I8160 something that i had not noticed up until tonight,so i think that it has something to do with this, even though i cannot understand how my motherboard died because of the firmware upgrade even thw firmware is made for another model...

it does have everything to do with that but it seems more like a hardbrick to me so does the phone charge or have u tried a lot of times to boot it or maybe pull the battery out for 5 min then put it back in and try to go to recovery or download if none of these stuff work then i think its dead

Yes i tried both normal boot pressing the power button and recovery - download modes and it did not power on in any of those cases. Also i tried pulling out the battery for 5 - 10 minutes and it did not power on afterwards either.Is this something that happens often because it seems really strange to me. If it has nothing to do with the firmware upgrade and it is a hardware issue then ok, i can sent it to repair it but if i have already lost the warranty due to root and firmware - custom recovery etc.. then what exactly do i have to do..

Hi guys, I was letting my phone charge, and when I checked it a few hours later, it wouldn't turn on, the orange light is NOT blinking/on, and I haven't rooted the phone or installed any custom firmwares. I got the phone "New" on ebay, and I've been using it for like 2 months now. I searched around the web for a solution, and some people recommended removing the battery, putting the battery in and holding VOL DOWN and POWER at the same time, and for some reason, I got it into the white screen with colored words on it. I did a Factory reset, and it got me back to the HTC home screen but it went back to a bootloop and now wont turn on anymore (strange)
Anyways, now i can't even go back into the recovery mode. I haven't rooted/modded this phone since I got it, so it's kind of weird to see this happen. I'm assuming the previous owner might have messed around with it and screwed it up? What should I do at this point?
is it the phone still can turn on and go to bootloader..?
if so..maybe you can try flashing and replace it with a new RUU stock..
firstly you must know what cid and software version of your phone..to do that..you can follow this guide
if your phone still don't want turn on...you can try replace it with different battery..
hope this help..

Hello everyone
im in a little big dilema here.
i was on cm11 and i wanted to go back to stock,
so i tried to flash Retail brasil and the process failed at around the second step,
i believe it said something about tz signed.
i left my device there, then after the phone shut down i could no longer turn it on.
i tried the vol- and power and i got nothing, also the vol+ vol- and power and also nothing.
i cannot make my phone respond.
also battery was at around 80% so it does have battery.
im afraid i might of bricked it trying to go back to stock. xD
kind of funny.
has this happened top anyone?
help would be appreciated a ton.

Some questions that may help people help you if you can answer them:
Did you use an fxz with RSD Lite when you were trying to go back to stock? If so, where did you get it? If not, what procedure did you use? Which version of Android was it? 4.1.2?
Although to be honest, if you can't even get to fastboot, your chances aren't good. I've been in similar situations before and I was able to fix it because I could at least get into fastboot and start from scratch. You are sure power + volume buttons together isn't working?

i sent it to my carrier, i am not under warranty since i got this phone on launch but they said they will see it they can do anything but wont replace it,
if its a no go i will take it to a cell shop where i think they know a little bit more of this type of situation, bricking flashing and stuff
