[Q] Droid Razr Locked or Bricked...Please Help!!!

Admins, I apologize if i post in the wrong area. I searched and followed the rules to the best of my knowledge. Please go easy on me? I am going crazy trying to figure out what to do. My razr is rooted. I downloaded a font updater app from the android market, updated some fonts, used the reboot button in options in the app, super user granted permissions and it went to reboot. It is now stuck in the bootloop. i have held the power and volume down button to do the hard reboot but it stalls at the first boot screen. I held down the power and volume down button until screen goes off then released and pressed it again quickly and it brings a screen which says the following...
AP Fastboot Mode (S)
0A.66
Device is LOCKED, Status Code: 0
Battery, OK
OK to Program
Transfer Mode:
USB Connected
(NOTE: I have the USB cable plugged in to my PC at the moment)
PLEASE help me??? I am not a genius at mobile devices or much else for that matter. What can I do to fix my phone. I'm on US Verizon using Motorola I am using a stock gingerbread rom with 2.3.5 and rooted. Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

This is the thread you want:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416058
There's a dedicated forum for the RAZR, you'll have more luck there. I only found your thread because I was searching for other things.

I have two solutions for u:
1. flash your phone with any rom you want.
2. find a file named "DroidSansFallback.ttf" on another phone(/system/font)
or rename a correct ttf file to DroidSansFallback.ttf.
download the attachment, use your file replace the
system/font/DroidSansFallback.ttf in the zip file.
rename the zip file to update.zip
reboot to recovery to install teh update.zip.
(or you can use a recovery tools to install it)

Problem Solved
Thank you guys for the replies. I have fixed my razr by using the FastFlash files I found. I am so new to this all and searched so many different places that I can not even remember where I downloaded them from. My apologies. Next time I will try to be more diligent and explain what I did to fix the problem for others to use for possible resolutions to their own similar issues.
Thanks Again,

if device rooted and bootstrapped
This is normal, go into boot strap and select boot recovery.
Enjoy

make sure you are using a usb 2 port not usb3. if that doesnt work try another usb2 port if you have one.
im not sure what files you have to flash, but if you got to the 926 development forum and look for the razr utility made by me, may be a page or so back. download the one you need, there are many versions. all instructions you should need to use the tool are in my post there.

USB2, not 3

First of all, thank you. it is really important I get this phone working again! I will look back, I just don't understand how to get a command line prompt to send files. I can get the dead android on the screen, but don't know how/where to go from there. I have been able to acess the menu with the "recovery, fastboot, and ap tools" and there is another screen I have gotten to, but don't know how I did it, with a blue menu that has something like "send ADB file" or something like that and another few options. which part of the menu do I have to be in? and how do I know if it is a usb 2, not 3? if I go into the fastboot screen where it says "phone is locked, status 0, I can hear it connect when the computer beeps, but it doesnt show in my computer. the phone will say"USB connected" though.
Thank you for any guidance you can provide. not that I wanted to do emergency surgery, but I have been meaning to learn this stuff anyhow.

usb 3 ports are usually blue in the center, but not always. the older your pc is, more likely you have little or no 3.0 and mostly 2.0. the newer the pc it, it tends to reverse that.
fastboot is the one you want to choose. after choosing fastboot, you dont need to do anything else to the phone. thats basically download or flash mode.
all the rest of the work is done by my script after you start it.
one other thing, since your phone is Locked its important to get the proper version of the utility. your options are only to flash the same software or newer. if you dont know what version you were on, you will just have to use the newest version to be safe.

When I click on the " This, and this" haha. all I get is a screen full of nonsense. it doesnt save anywhere on my pc.
or is it actually going to the phone?

here, use this one. its newer than the ones posted there and not listed for whatever reason.

They are downloading now. When they are done downloading, I'll see how I do from there. SHould the SD card be in the phone, or directly in my laptop with an adapter? and...All my equipment is at least 6 years old. I checked, and have no blue USB ports. I have an antique Vaio and a gateway netbook.
I have both open, so I can download on one, and research with the other. lol.
THEY are both running xp

the flashing has nothing to do with your sd card, but if you have something important on there and want to be sure its safe, you can remove it.
in some of my scripts, there is an option to wipe data or not, im not sure about the one i gave you. if the option is there, you should choose the wipe option, unless you have something on the phone itself really important you are trying to save.
ill bbiab, its time to go get some lunch

Cool. Thanks. I am still waiting for your stuff to download. My wife does support for one of the cable companies from home, so she chokes up our internet for downloading stuff. haha.

the file you downloaded ir a "rar", winrar will extract it.
and its best to Quote the person you are talking to, then everyone will know who your talking to (in bigger threads) and they/i will get a notification that you quoted me. thx

is rarlab a safe place to get the winrar from?

[Q] Help Un-bricking Sensation 4G?

So I checked the existing pages about bricked Sensations but I didn't
see any predicaments that were quite this bad let alone a fix. Anyways;
Was updating to newest firmware 3.24 because I was getting ready to flash a
new ICS rom. Updated fine in Hboot, and then I somehow managed to reboot before I could get into clockwork recovery mod. Got caught in a boot-loop so I
pulled the battery to try to get back into fastboot and it wouldn't even turn on.
So I pulled the battery again, held the power button to drain any power and put the battery back in and tried it again. It will not charge, the led will not turn on, and it gets a black screen with the back-light on. Can not get into anything, kinda looking like the internal memory was wiped somehow.
So are there any fixes? Or am I screwed? If so if I call tmobile will they replace it (in the event that everything was wiped)? Any help appreciated!

Well, i am in the same situation with my sensation, it doesn't power on and when connected to the pc it shows up as QHSUSB_DLOAD and the driver was not found auto by windows
i'm going to provide the links to the program and the driver in the thread i started to get the QCN File...
The standard answer provided here in that situation is that your phone is bricked and you need to send it to HTC for warranty reparation...I am going to try to get a DIY method to reflash your phone from scratch (as now it's waiting for a ROM to be download (Qualcomm High Speed USB DownLOAD mode)

How much help can you be? simple, i need a dump of the rom which runs on your Sensation, but not an .img file, but a .qcn file, QPST provides that feature, but it hardcodes you EMEI and serial into it, therefor i need to get all the info about your phone, all numbers you can provide that are listed on the box in order to get searching for those variables in that file which is dumped...
When found i can change them into my vars, to try and flash the phone back to life... i geuss it'll be a work off about a week to get everything found in a 400MB file or so

OK well I already have QPST and the QHSUSB drivers downloaded but QPST cannot see my phone. I found something on an LG forum explaining how to get the COM port number from Device Manager but my phone doesn't show up the same way.
Can you tell me how to find my COM port?

Yep
Windows 7?
Open your Control Panel from your start menu and put it on classic view, in order to see the device manager link, open this.
There you will see Ports (COM & LPT)
Unfold this and you will see your device there with a (COMx) behind it
in the QPST configurator you will have a tab with the name: Ports
click this
on the right bottom there is a button: Add New Port
click this, a dialog will open where you can see your ports, click the port which is of your phone, if not seen, just type COMx (x being the number stated in the device manager)
And press OK
As from now you will be able to see your phone on the first tab normally seen
now go to the menu "Start Clients"
SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD
If you see that the port is not correct on top, click the Browse next to it in order to choose the correct port, you'll see it will detect your phone then...
Goto the Backup tab and click browse, give the file a place and name, press start...
Then wait i guess, i am not in the possition to know how long it would take...
Now you have the QCN file made as i need in my post
This is a hexadecimal dump of your phone in Quallcomm Bundle Numeric format, with that we can start figuring out, how to get your serial number, emei etc out, to infuse our own to get our phone back up and running by using the restore function of the QPST program
Clear enough? :s

It might also be that due to the fact that your phone is actually a still working exemplar that you need to follow the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180211 in order to get your phone connected in QPST

Many thanks, i'm gonna PM you with my info (as promissed in my thread)

So I've gone back to ENG HBOOT 1.17 and Telstra stock ROM, Clockwork Recovery 5.0.0.8 and rooted. I have USB debugging on and am in diagnostic mode but I still don't get HTC Diag device or anything like it in Device Manager. I've shown hidden devices in there too.
The only phone related item I have is Portable Device, when expanded it says D:\ (which is my SD card drive in the phone). I tried changing USB mode from charge to disk to sync and every other option but still don't see the device in Device Manager.
Not sure what else I can do here .... Plus it's pretty late and I want to restore my phone before bed. If you can think if anything I've done wrong or anything I can try differently, please let me know and I'll try tomorrow.

No problem man, i know there is a time difference between Belgium and Australia
Have you checked that the phone is in charge mode and not in disk drive mode?

battery isn't charging, USB doesn't work

hello guys,
i have 2 Problems with my galaxy R.
My mobilephone doesn't load the battery when i plug in the charger. If i shut down the phone and connect the charger, the phone goes on and the empty battery symbol is drawn an the screen and the refresh logo of the battery is shown. But after 1-2 second's the screen is black and the phone turn off, this repeats the whole time.
When i turn on the phone, it starts without problems, when i plug in the charger it does nothing. I tryed to plug in the charger during the night, and the pho73ne loadet from 59% to 73%.
I have the Galaxy R with 3 Branding (Firmware, which was installed, when i get my galaxy R), but i have rooted the phone and have clockworkMod 4.xxx.
Now, i wanted to flash the firmware again (for warranty, to delete root and clockworkmod), but i cannot connect my phone to the pc. When i plug in the usc cable, my notebook don't recognize my phone and the phone does nothing.
My question now is, how can i remove root and clockworkmod, so that i can give the phone to the shop for warranty?
I hope you have ideas for me, and sorry for my bad english, i'm from Austria

now i made a video...

these files will work with all the ROMs

Hey buddy! This is what exactly happened with me! This is a physical damage. So there's nothing you can do by flashing other ROMs or stock ROMs or so....
Check out my thread here:-
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663812
I've explained everything about my case and how I was able to revert back to my country's stock ROM, unroot the phone and revert back to stock recovery.
Then I gave my phone for repair to SSC and they told me that it's a physical damage. They changed the whole charging port of my phone. Took 3-4 days though. Depends on availability of that part.
And since my phone was in warranty and SSC guys are dumb, I got it done for FREE!!

Hi buddy, I appreciate that you haven't started a new thread. Could you tell me which language you know ? I am asking because then I could understand your issue clearly.
If you would have searched a bit you would have surely got the answer in the FAQ's post (in the newbie guide thread), check this out:
Q. My device is not being detected on being connected to my PC but I can charge it via the wall / normal charger ! What to do?
First of all check if you have the latest Samsung Kies software installed as it also installs the latest Samsung USB drivers along with it which are required to connect your device to the PC. If they are installed & still your PC doesn't detect the device then you probably have corrupted drivers. To resolve this follow these steps: Uninstall Samsung Kies / Samsung USB drivers currently installed => Restart your PC => Reinstall Samsung Kies / Samsung USB drivers.
Q. I can't charge my device & my device is not being detected after connecting to my PC & Odin is not detecting my device ! What to do?
(The solution is valid only if you are experiencing all of the above conditions simultaneously)
Checkout this thread which could help you: => [Partial Fix] Galaxy R not getting detected on PC nor charging via a charger. ​
Hope this helps.

[Q] Bricked Qualcomm's secondary bootloader, what to do?

Hello everybody,
I got my hands on this phone and I tampered too much with Qualcomm's FAT partition with the secondary bootloader, hardbricking the phone itself.
Trying to turn the phone on, shows the Samsung logo for some seconds then shuts down and disconnects, Download Mode is unaccessible but with VolUP+Home+Power the phone just stays connected (with the screen being black), but ignores any attempt to flash, Odin staying stuck on "SetupConnection...".
What I've tried already:
- Flashing with Heimdall -- phone isn't even recognized
- Removing the battery "trick" etc, etc, etc
- Changing .tar.md5 package
- Forcing a repartition with the .pit
Any clue might be useful, thanks in advance to anyone replying.

You shouldnt had to play with the bootloader neither the SBL
Im sorry to tell you that if your phone doesnt acces neither recovery and download mode it is hard bricked
that is why odin doesnt recognize the device
however, USB JIG is the best solution (the other one is changing the motherboard)
You can follow this instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s2/help/guide-how-to-make-usb-jig-reset-binary-t1604707 to build one
using this SHOULD work but its even possible your bootloader is so messed up that will not open
You told me there about download mode, what about recovery mode? althought it should not work maybe God gives you a second chance

Actually ODIN recognizes the phone, but hangs on "SetupConnection...", sure the simplest solution might be the jig if there's a secondary bootloader in situ.
Obviously the recovery mode is dead, but still, I saw that it bypasses Samsung's logo and just reboots.
Since it's Qualcomm, probably the microSD emergency procedure used on the S3s might be a fair try.
If someone has still a working phone, can please do a dd image of the first 100 MB of the EMMC so I can see if this option is viable?
Might be a nice solution for hard bricked Qualcomm-based Samsung phones to unbrick those.

First, for the SetupConnection try changing the ports but first BE SURE Kies is closed or end the task as Kies closes your connections using third-party programs
then reinstall samsung usb drivers or even adb drivers are good.
if you will find anyway to execute the command adb reboot-bootloader you could probably save the phone
2. I just read about the microSD procedure, it looks like a pretty clever idea
I wonder how do you know how many MB's you need
so i have done here a 70MB IMG, and with 100 didnt worked so I did a 99 MB one
Remember you need Class10 16 GB Card
If somehow this solved your problem, i will do a post in our General Section
Good Luck, i'll stay tuned.
EDIT: I just noticed the files have 169 MB so I can't post them here, tell me your email and i send you, my email is [email protected]

I don't have Kies installed, since I never kept any Samsung phone with the stock TouchWiz ROM, but only the USB Drivers package for ODIN and so on.
I sent you a PM with my e-mail address, but you could upload the img to MEGA or whatever file locker service...
In the case this get sorted, I'll upload the IMG over my server and drop the link, so you don't need to worry about the link expiring or whatever

Tried to burn the SD card, it seems that the 7227A doesn't support boot-from-SD.
Anyways, I ordered off eBay for some change a jig dongle, as soon as I get that I'll try that way, but I think that it won't work since most of the hardware components (except for the NAND) are not made by Samsung.
I'll let you know how it proceeds

No, don't mess with the system if there isn't much support or development for it. I regret buying the C3 now because of the horrible camera quality and the fact that the lack of activity is clear. But, it's still a fast phone with good battery management so rooting won't help much.

Hi.. Have you got this problem solved? Cause i got the same now.. Please any help..

For me, I've encountered almost the same thing too when flashing my XperiaZ, here's how I fixed it:
Pre-1. To make sure your phone has enough battery left, when holding down the "VolUp" button, connect your phone to a charger. This charges your phone in fastboot mode. It will be slow.
1. In flashtool, open up flashmode, let it load the files (since its a system only flash, you don't need to tick anything) until it prompts you to connect your phone. If the phone is in a boot loop, hold down "Power + VolUp +VolDown" at the same time until it vibrates the hell out of it.
2. When the phone is switched off, hold down the "VolDown" button then quickly connect your phone to your computer. A green light should flash and the phone starts flashing.
3. If this doesn't work, tick the "Wipe Userdata" column so that it can wipe throughly.
Cheers!
