ATRIX 2 Possibly hard bricked any help please?

I have been using this site for years and searching for the last few weeks I am not new to changing roms but this time i missed a step and the situation is this the phones does not respond to any buttons and the white led indication light comes on when i connect to PC normally this means battery is totally dead but I followed other instructions on this site and recharge battery independently and checked its charge with multimeter and everything good.
The only time the phone gives me any indication that it is responding is when connected to the PC with white LED, any suggestions or is it the time for the bin, any suggestions help appreciated, thanks in advance and just to make it clear the phone not booting up into anything from what i can see.
Looks like you're hard bricked, but it also can be dead battery. So first I recomended recharge battery. And also tell us that you did to the phone before - downgrade to GB & etc.
Sorry man. Sounds like she's dead.

EDIT
Beat to the punch.
I also had screwed up my phone. I had tried to downgrade to GB after ICS (OTA)... I know it was really stupid of me...
Anyway, I also used to get white LED when connected to PC.
When connected to wall charger I used to get Moto Logo. I thought it was getting charged, but it was not.
I then gave it to the Moto authorised service center, and then gave me back phone with GB flashed...
When I asked them what they did, they told me battery was dead and the charged it(not through the phone, but by using some other sort of charger)...
You should also try the same.
Tell them that the battery went completely dead, while you were trying to do OTA update. (That's what i told)

If you can see the Moto Logo when you switch on the phone or connect to a charger, that means your phone is not Hard Bricked, its Soft Bricked. You can use RSDLite and fxz your phone back to life, but if you see a black screen and a white LED when you connect to your phone to a PC/Laptop, that means your phone is Hard Bricked. If you are on warranty, return it to Motorola and get a replacement. Hope this helps.

Dear Sir,
I was using Stock ICS 4.0.4 (InlineFlashing_Edison_67.21.125_CFC_P3_APBP.xml) on my atrix but later when i try to restart it, it shows Customer ID error so i used to open it again by using BP Tools. Later i found in some threads that switching back to Stock GB will help you recovering that error. so i download Stock GB (InlineFlashing_edison_5.5.175.16_cfc_p3_APBP_CID285). while doing it from RSDLite during the middle process (5/20 reboot bootflash) it went fails and my phone turned black. now its not opening neither any combination of keys are working and nor showing the LED lite. Now what to do? any solution?

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but there is no known way to recover a lost CID if you didn't back it up. I don't know where you read that flashing back to GB would fix it, because the general consensus in this forum is flashing back to GB from ICS will, more often than not, hard brick your phone. It sounds to me like that is exactly what happened, you've hard bricked your phone. There is no "fix" for that though there is still some hope. If your phone is still under warranty you can just get it replaced. If it's not under warranty, you can try to buy another Atrix 2 with a cracked screen and use the mother board from it to replace the one in your phone.
Is there any possibility you can provide a link to where it was said that the Customer Identification Number could be restored in this manner? I think it's important to correct whomever gave you this bad information before they cause someone else to make this same mistake.

Bricked gs3 HALLLP

Ok so i am brand new to the xda forums and i joined because my friend said the people over here are very knowledgeable. I have a Galaxy SIII from verizon and i had it Rooted and i had cyanogen mod flashed on to it. I went to sleep woke up did a couple things then went to look at my phone. I tried turning it on i got nothing. I plugged it in and got nada. I then searched on the web to find out that it is hard bricked. I am only getting the battery notification LED when i plug in the phone without the battery inserted and sim inserted. Ive had this phone for a little bit but cant afford a new one so if you have knowledge on how to fix it please post. I have a p that can handle most anything so running programs and what not is easy if it comes to having to do things computer-side :crying:
Have you tried booting into recovery/download using the 3-button combos? Some people have found that leaving the phone on the charger for a while also makes it come back to life. If those don't work than you're most likely hard bricked. You can try the SD card de-brick method. Everything you need is in this youtube video (there are links to all the files you need in the video description):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dU5H8NJ7vTM
Alternatively, you can send it to http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/ and they'll fix it all up and root/unlock bootloader/install any custom ROM and ship it back to you for $50.
I did try to boot into my twrp recover but it wouldnt work so i left it plugged into my pc while i played some garrys mod and then decided to put the battery in so i didnt lose anything. Out of instinct i hit the power button and it showed the battery charging boot logo. I nearly shat myself . but i remained calm turned it on and then it booted showed the cyanogenmod booter and loaded in with all my old files :good: My replies may be few and far between but i know its good to give and take in forums so ill check maybe once every 3 days and reply to anything i see by directing the messages at people personally

[Q] [Help! Phone stuck at 5%]

Hi, I have had my Motorola Atrix HD for 2 years now and just today my phone was stuck at 5%. I tried to see if it was my charger but it wasn't, then I looked at the battery and it looked normal as usual so I tried to just clean like the dust off the charger. I also tried to reset my phone to see if that helped but still no luck... I don't know what to do! Is my phone broke? The reason I want it fixed is because obviously the warranty is gone and I can't purchase a new phone. So I just want to see if anyone can help me... I forgot to mention that when I power off the phone it turns on ( plugged in to charger) shows a battery with a question mark in it. So please if anyond can help please do

[Q] Motorola RAZR HD XT925 Doesn't Start (Blinking Green LED)

Hello. I have problems with my device, a Motorola Razr xt925 HD. It doesn't start, it just keeps the green led blinking when connected to wall charger, and when I plug the USB, makes a sound of a new device detected but only for a few seconds then it makes a sound of an unplugged device, and so on. It doesn't respond to any combination of buttons. I let it charging overnight, even though the battery was nearly full before this happened. Don't know if this is relevant but before this happened, I was going to flash stock Retail Brazil firmware by fastboot and got a flash failure. I turned it off and then it wouldn't turn on again. I never had this happened, I had problems but I always solved them all. Not this time hopefully you guys can help me or tell me what it could be, because I doubt it was the battery. I leave you a video showing my case.
i dont know for certain but the only time i see that green light is when battery is ou and i put it to chrge. Could your phone be in apfastboot and can t charge. It is a bit of a tough situation to troubleshoot.
Did you try keys combo to put it in fastboot, and test it by flashing
or maybe use rsd lite see if it shows you device connected? maybe then you can flash stock
i am sure there are other possibilities, let s hear from you
There's no way to enter in Fastboot by key combos and RSD lite doesn't show my device :/ maybe I need a factory cable, just in case that the battery is empty. I need more suggestions please
me paso lo mismo
did you find any solution?
im having this problem after i start using KK 4.4.2 seems like the phone go to sleeping mood by it self while my screen is locked so i have to keep clicking at power and volume up and down to restart the device now im looking for an update or a fix for this problem, another problem is the device WIFI do not catch my house signal while im away 10 feet from the house the software have bugs
I've been using CM 11 (KK 4.4.4) with no issues. This is a flash problem or maybe the battery. My phone is still dead btw I see that two more people are having the same problem here... we need a solution please.

i think your your device is dead.
this exact thing happened to me.
it happened on september, i was forced to get a new device.
i love this phone but it was dead.
i hope a fix comes through i would like to have it back
I ll take one of your hand, I need parts if interested
Any update with this? Did you try with a factory cable?
I'm going through the same thing , I read the other day that and the driver installed and nothing more .
keep trying to revive my device.
I'm going through the same thing. When I plug it into my pc , under device manager it shows "Human Interface Device" then it unmounts itself then remounts itself then unmounts. Over and over..... I've even replaced the battery.
I was running stock rom with just root, phone was working great. phone rebooted, screen never came back on but when i connect it to my computer it sees it in adb..........
Any advice would be great.
Thank you

This thread for the droid Ultra might interest you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-ultra/general/droid-ultra-maxx-brick-recovery-t2830806
There is some discussion of the Razr HD in this thread. It looks like someone with an unlocked device would need to dd their bootloader partition for this method to work.
A few years later .... Any solution? rsrsrs
any update on this scenario?
i have this situation too and the time could give us an answer, i am searching again, i took my device to some 'phone repair stores' and in less than 5 minutes they told me that the phone was dead, but i have my last doubts
Just to add an update here
I ended up with the Green light only and blank screen after trying to fix a battery issue, despite getting a number of batteries my phone wasn't accepting the batteries.
I remembered a battery issue a long while back, so went to reflash my phone to see if it resolved it.
I ended up with the green light and blank screen and no matter what buttons, it would just make a noise then keep rebooting.
I ended up using the Unbrick bat file.
RSD Lite was briefly showing a Medfield device of something starting with Med, but since the phone kept rebooting I couldn't reflash it again.
I did the Pwr and Vol down and as soon as I saw the device, I clicked the UnBrick bat and it managed to get my Moto logo up.
I then booted to Fastboot mode and reflashed and my phone is back,
See this link for the UnBrick, but when you do it, you have to be fast to catch it while the device is seen, otherwise the phone reboots after 4s or soo.

[Completed] Need Help for LG G Pro 2

I have a Lg G Pro 2. Few days back it got bricked by its own( a crazy fact). That time it was showing QHSUSB_BULK. I figured it out as 9006. Took the phone to a local service shop. Today I got it back and found that nothing had happened to the phone, expect worse. Now it is not detected by PC, only green light blinks for some time if tried to power on. And then everything is black and cold as death.
I think it have been flashed with wrong ROM. Anybody here can guide me with the test points of Lg G Pro 2 (D838 F350) ? So that I can force it to QHSUSB_BULK ? Or any step by step advice to get it up ?
I am in real need of assistance, and thanks in advance for any sort of help. Best Regards.
I would like to mention that the phone indicator blinks for sometime if I try to power it on, as it does on boot, but nothing else is there. No recognition by PC, no presence in Device Manager. Blinks for sometime, stops, again starts blinking... and this goes on at regular short intervals. The area around the camera gets warm after sometime. Everything loops till I pull off battery.
Now, am I missing something ? Is the problem not as deadly as I am thinking ? Is it soft bricked ?
