Thank you for reading in advance! Any ideas here would be appreciated!! I will try and describe what happened in as much detail as possible...
1. Flashed MIUI on my Xperia miro, was working fine
2. Restored apps and system data from Titanium
3. Tried opening my contacts but got an error message, some android process not responding and then the contacts app would crash too (this happened multiple times)
4. Decided to do factory reset so I backed up everything again onto Titanium (I'm not too worried about the back up as all apps can be downloaded again/contacts collected again)
5. On MIUI went to Settings/Backup and reset/Factory reset and reset the whole thing including unmounting SD card
6. I left the phone to do this and when I came back it was completely unresponsive
I now can't do any kind of boot (just power button, volume up + power, volume down + power, both volume + power) and I can't boot into fastboot or flash (volume up + USB, volume down + USB), it doesn't vibrate when powering on or show any LEDs, the only response I can get from my phone is that the computer recognises it when I plug it in, but it can't find or install any drivers for whatever mode my phone is now in...
I've tried everything I can think of (e.g. trying to boot into recovery etc) so now I'm stuck :crying: I can access an external SD card and put files onto that then put it back in the phone if that helps at all.... Thanks in advance!!
Maybe your battery is dead? Charge it via external charger , and then try connecting in fastboot.

Hi there, thanks in advance for your kind support on the overall aspects of android development.
here is what i have done.
i wanted to update my motorola xt910 with 4.0.4 ics to CM10 (CYANOGENMOD)10
So i get the cm10 rom and google apps on my sd card
And installed the clockworkmod recovery 5.8.4.5 black edition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751826
then i made the procedures after install the apk
after that i reboot in cwm and make a backup of the existing rom
and reboot the phone.
then i dowload the rom manager from the app store, install it and select the right recovery 3.+++ for the razr reboot the phone .
then i went on rom manager and enter in clockword mod and install the rom cm 10 (after i installed it i remember i should wipe data and cache) so i after installed cm10, i wiped data and cache, and right after i installed again the cm10 rom and google aps, without even reboot or leave rom manager app, after that i rebooted the phone and the only thing it shows me its the M logo on start.
I cant go to fastboot either, doesnt recognise the rsd lite.
And it only "boots" if its called that way if i hit power + vol up + vol down. but then it only appears the M logo for a few seconds and then the cell it turns off (i guess). it was with a fully 100% battery when i did the procedure.
Any way to solve this?
it detects when i conect it to the pc, but it doesnt show anything, only the sound that some usb thing is conected and then disconected, no card showing nothing, just the sound.
ANY HELP WILL BE GLADLY WELCOME!!!
THANKS

I have successfully manage to UNBRICK IT.
here is the procedure i have done:
1-plug it in motorola cable and put the rsdlite on
2-plug the usb on the computer (you will hear the sound of some usb beeing conected but nothing else)
3- hit the power buton + vol up + vol down several times until it appears fast boot
ex: you click it now see the M logo, and then you hit it again on power + vol up + vol down, all of this with the cable conected to the pc and the rsd lite on.
4-after it entered on fastboot mode, you will see a black screen with some white writing on it
5-get a fastboot xml of your rom (in my case brasilian one) and flash it true the rsd, wait wait wait until the process finishes and dont disconect or touch anything. In my case it took about 15 minutes with several stops and bootloops on the same procedure, but i successfully manage to bring it to life.
Note this method will only work if you have enough battery on your phone, if not try to buy a factory cable to charge the battery via USB port and then try it on.
Remember to charge 5% you will nedd to get it on the usb about 15 minuts or so, if you plan to do this procedure i will hardly advice you to leave it about 5hours to fully charge your battery and you get the job done without any other issues.
Thanks to all and i hope this thread will be helpfull to others too.

Thanks ma,, you saved my device!!!!
I recently flashed a new ROM and everything went well. 2-3 weeks later my phone died from lack of charge, I connected it. I turned it on and my start up screen begins but it just stays there...the phone doesn't turn on. I've let it charge completely, and it still will not turn all the way on.
Is there something I can try? How does one get into recovery or download mode with this phone?
Start your phone by pressing volume up and power button together. This will boot the phone into boot loader menu. Then use volume button to scroll down and select recovery. Press power button to boot into recovery.
You may try flashing a diff ROM and see if it boots.

The ROM (a Hellybean version) is just not working...I reloaded it and I still get stuck at the startup screen. As this phone doesn't have an external SD card, how would one go about putting in another ROM?
Or simply, how do I go back to stock? Is there something like ODIN? Sorry the noob questions...I know my phone front and back (old Captivate) and I'm actually trying to fix this for my boyfriend. Thanks

Go into Recovery-> Mount and Storage -> Mount USB Storage, then you're Computer will recognize your phone, and will able to see your SD card, then put Rom in the Sd Card, unmount SD card from recovery, Go back, do a factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, choose zip from SD card and happy Flashing
It worked Thank you guys! :good:
Today I was getting random errors on the Cyanogenmod Rom, so I wanted to flash the KitKat+ rom, but reading in the forum, I saw that I need to wipe a lot of things in order to get a good installation. I wiped everyting that I can find, including /system, and then, when I wanted to flash the KitKat+ rom I couldn't find the folder with it, I think it was because I had deleted that folder during my wipes.
So I didin't have any rom installed, nor I had the zips to install a new one, I was able to enter on fastboot(?) (the screen that appears when I press vol down + power), and then, enter to the recovery (CWM), I wasn't able to enable "mount usb storage" on CWM to add another zip files, so I enter in the fastboot (the previous screen) and searched on the internet how to flash a rom, or how to enter in the usb storage.
I needed to leave my house in that moment, and I left the phone in that mode for like 4 hours, it was connected to the PC. When I came back, the phone was off, I couldn't turn it on, and the PC dont detect it, I tried with other cables, with other PCs, charging the phone on the wall for 2 hours, I also tried with pressing the power button for 15s and vol down + power, I can't get any response from the phone, and when I connect it to the PC I don't get any new deviced on the [device manager] screen of windows.
Any Ideas?
*sorry for my bad english*
Hi folks,
I bricked my phone by deleting everything from TWRP by checking everything from 'advanced format'.
Now my phone is completely bricked - black screen and does not respond to power button.
The only thing seems to work is that it can be seen as a flash drive when connected to PC.
I see the phone's internal storage now has only one empty folder - TWRP. :crying:
Could any one help me un-brick this phone please?
Many thanks!
Edit: Problem solved.
By holding volume up and power to force power off.
It automatically reboots and re-flashed with stock ROM.
TWRP version: 3.0.2
Good day everyone,
I have been facing a huge problem in the past weeks after I have done one mistake.
I was installing a newer version of TWRP recovery and instead of installing the image I installed it as zip.
My OS was gone, I couldn't get it to "recover" my OS in any way. The kernel seems fine.
I have tried to use a micro SD and USB cable to install a new ROM but TWRP couldn't detect my SD card and my PC couldn't connect to my phone.
I also wiped my whole data.
My phone doesn't boot in the recovery unless it's not charging and start with ONLY pushing the power button.
Holding power and volume up will make it vibrate 3 times and restart.
Charging the phone makes it stuck on the android logo after the battery status.
The phone overheats and the battery drains extremely .
The only message I got from TWRP is, "No OS installed".
Other logs are inaccessible or wiped.
I would appreciate any advice
Thanks in advance!
1. Turn off your phone
2. Enter the phone Flashmode by holding the volume down button, then connect to a PC (the led should be green and your PC should recognize your Z5).
3. Flash the FTFs in Flashtool.
Information about how to that can be found on this forum.

This might help.
