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.

im sorry to hear that i think you may be bricked ,but don't lose hope maybe someone that knows more about these phones than me can help
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 had the same issue, it was stuck forever in the vodafone logo, and fastboot mode or recovery modes didn't work at all, no matter what combination of buttons, after an incomplete SPL update.
"The only thing slightly different was keeping the trackball pushed when pressing the power button, lighted up the led light in blue, and nothing else, no logo or any other activity.
I thought it was completely bricked, but no. Here's what i did
With the phone off, connected the USB cable, then powered it up. While it was still frozen on the logo screen, i could actually issue fastboot commands, so I was able to send a fastboot boot recovery.img and flash again the SPL, and a new ROM. No problem after that." EHRepli
Try what he said on a different post and see if that works. If not then you're screwed.
which recovery image should i flash????
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>fastboot boot recovery.img
< waiting for device >
it's just sitting there,,, i have the same bahaviour i press the trackball with power i get blue LED, i turned it off, plugged it in via USB then turned it on. Should i be trying to get it into fastboot mode? or just normally turn it on?
There are a few thread on how to recover from that. Some can recover, some can not. It all depends on what was done initially and which radio image was installed and the OS image etc.
I recently flashed a ion (32B) radio on the Roger's magic and was completely stuck. Sent it in to HTC and they fixed mine for US$20.00 and 10 day of waiting. If your phone is still under warranty, do that. Worst case, if you are in Canada, see if a Rogers store can replace it for you.
i really dont know what i did wrong...

Same here, I have tried every key sequence known to man and still no luck. I tailed the output of messages (under linux) watching for a glimmer on the usb port when connecting/powering on/removing/replacing battery etc etc but there is nothing.
Without it there is no way for me to fastboot a recovery. I'm afraid I have a $500 brick unless someone has a radical idea...:-(
i just brought it back and got a new one...
It happen the same to me in my Rogers HTC magic, just wipe again and reflash thats how I solved it
Make sure you flash the cm-rom and then flash the ebi1/32A port file.

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.
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

I tried booting into fastboot, but the phone even turn on. Only white led when I plug it without battery into my laptop. So it isnt really dead but something is wrong, I tried the invisible boot, but I guess it isnt working.
Hey guys, I recently found my tf300t tucked away somewhere. Haven't used it for absolute months! And I remembered why, I kept having problems with CM somehow(I believe the last update was somewhere in June-July of 2013), so this time after charging it and wanting to do it all again, I figured I'd get it updated. Seeing as it's been nearly a year and so much crap has changed, I figured something was going to go wrong. Before I even DID ANYTHING, I told the tablet to reboot into recovery mode, and boom that's where I'm stuck. The Tablet rebooted and now only shows the Asus boot screen... Nothing else! Vol down+pwr didn't work, nothing. And If I hold the power button it shuts off but then turns right back on 1-2 seconds later. I'm not sure what this is, a soft brick? a Brick? just an error? Can anybody please help? I know this is probably the wrong section, but I'm just frustrated.
Thank you to anybody who can help in any shape or form.
PS: no bashing is needed, my tables already bashing my head for me.

Nope, but I am running W8 and I read that W8 kinda sucks for this sort of thing. Like you need W7 or XP? Correct me if im wrong. Any other ideas? . I didn't do anything! Just told it to reboot into recovery, and now I'm stuck there. I held pwr+volume down and it still keeps stuck, and if I try to power it off then it just turns on again a few seconds later.

??
So none of you can get to fastboot or recovery, but you do all get the stuck at Asus logo?? All your bootloaders are unlocked?? All of you got to this spot, the same way by not using the tablet for long periods of time???? What bootloader are you on?? What version of CM are you running??? What is the OS of your PC, If its not the top 3 please be specific......Are you using a stock asus data cable??
Sounds similar
From what your posts say, it sounds like something i came across. I struggled for hours trying to figure out this dilemma, but if you're in the same situation i was in then as long as you're in that screen even after trying to hold the power and -vol let it sit there, plug in and make sure you have all your files associated with fastboot platform installed and try pushing the new TWRP ( http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407569892 ) to your tablet, for some reason after a certain update after 4.1 i believe? CWM stopped working for me, so try pushing the new TWRP from that link there and possibly you should be able to gain control of your tablet again and start installing the new packets for CM 11. I found this to be very helpful http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2570965 and thanks to "cmendonc2", 6 post down, he really cleared things up with his simple links. Hope you're in the same boat as i was. Good luck
Hi all,
Did a factory data reset with a rooted, bootloader unlocked XT925 on stock jb and now its bricked. I can't access recovery, and when I do the simulated battery pull by pressing both volume keys and power button, it shows the moto dual core screen, before going to the android with the blue bar underneath usually seen while updating for about 30 seconds before briefly flashing the android on its side with the red triangular warning sign above it, then it powers off.
Is there anything I can do to save it? I had modified the start up animation which I think may be causing it. It won't even show up when plugged into my computer.
Thanks
Hi there :
At this point, can you get your xt925 on fastboot mode by pressing volume up and power while it is off? if so, you can just go ahead and flash a 4.1.2 rom. Since your BL is unlocked you can download one from any region that suits you.

i have seen an unusual trend of hard bricks coming from fdr's recently. i cant begin to explain it, or offer a fix for it.
unfortunately from what you have described, your phone seems to be gone.
i can only suggest that anyone having issues with there phone, that they think a fdr would fix, dont do it!! re-flash with rsd instead until we determine what is causing this.
i know its not wide spread, but i wouldnt risk it just the same.

Nope fastboot is inaccessible. Oh well! Sad this happened just before I updated to the loooong awaited KK build as well. Luckily I found a Sony Xperia Z1 for a great price so off to new things (and new subsection of XDA).
Thanks for the replies everyone!
on the other hand Xperia is a good unit
