Stuck at Motorola logo.

I've been running on Apex 2.0 for about a month without issue. Last night the phone locked up and would not respond to any key press so I pulled the battery. Since then, powering on the phone stalls at the white motorola logo endlessly. I've tried SBF by way of RSDlite and the linux cd method, note that I've SBF'd many times before and have never run into an issue. Holding Home and powering on does not bring up recovery, with or without SD card. Swapped with a fully charged battery with no additional luck. Any more ideas?

You have tried to get to the bootloader right? As long as you can get to the bootloader you are good to go.

Yes, I can access the bootloader. I've used both the 2.3.340 and 4.5.596 full sbf files with no change. The logo does alter between White and Red depending on the sbf flashed so I know they were successful.

while in the boot loader you wiped everything right?

are you thinking of recovery? If so, that is not accessible in the current state.

SBF Problem! Help!

OK so my droid x has only booted into recovery mode for a while and I just left it that way after taking the battery out... I decided to try and fix it yesterday. I was fallowing this guide (droidxforums(DOT)com/forum/droid-x-sbf/12015-complete-droid-x-sbf-flashing-guide.html#post106311) and my bootloader is at 30.04. I was doing it on windows and used the latest RSD Lite. I think I need a full SBF so I tried the 5th one down (VRZ_MB810_2.3.34_1FF_01.zip) on this site sites(DOT)google.com/site/motosbf/droid-x-sbf-files
I SBFed it and every thing went fine... it said PASS and I thought I was done... correct? but when I rebooted it just booted right back to the bootloader. Plz Help

MEM_MAP Blank
Service Req'd
Battery OK

EDIT: Solved just SBF'ed .621 and worked perfectly! Thnx

Glad you worked it out. That's what happens when you try to install a previous system version over .621.

[Q] Unbricking Help?

Attempting to update a US-Tmobile Defy (green lens) with CM7 to CM10
1. As a 1st step wanted to do a full Nandroid - but the backup repeatedly failed.
2. Next, installed RSD lite to unroot, revert to stock, 1st tried with "JORDN_U3_6.36.0_SIGNED_USAJRDNTMOB1B4B5DE1028.0R_JORDANTMO_P022_HWp3_Service1FF.sbf.gz"
After completion, the Defy was stuck in a boot loop
3. Finally, used RSD lite attempting to unroot & revert to stock using, "T-Mobile_MB525_6.19.0_1FF.zip"
After completion, the phone would not boot nor go into bootloader.
The battery was very low and I suspect that it may be the reason I cannot start the bootloader. The phone, in its current state does not seem to charge the battery.
Please help!
Doug

All you had to do was wipe data after 1 St flash via stock recovery
But now search around for the mcgyer trick to charge your phone and then flash the first sbf and wipe data afterwards
Never flash with a low battery

Thanks,
found the thread and am gave it a try. Still no love insofar as getting into the boot loader. Perhaps the battery is not dead. Reads 3.9v
Anything else I can do to try n summon the bootloader?

Do you get something like :
'battery ok in bootloader' ?
EDIT:
I see you are not able to see boorloader at all.
one thing you can do is :
connect the phone to your system
start rsd lite
take out the battery
insert it again
and immediately press power and volume up.
you may not see the bootloader on the screen but your device may show up on rsd lite.then you can flash your sbf.

You must charge your battery. The possible ways are:
1. with friend's defy or external charger
2. McGyver way - find in threads, but use with caution

[Q] Black screen and bootloop

Hi,
1. I rooted my phone successfully.
2. I installed droid2recovery.apk
3. Restarted. Installed CM10 and Gaaps (wrong version)
4. Reboot. Everything was normal with some annoyances due to the wrong version of Gaaps.
5. Checked and the phone was already rooted in CM10. Installed droid2recovery.apk again. Reboot.
6. Trapped in bootloop.
7. Reboot and enter in system recover.
8. Tried to install CM10 and correct Gaaps. Not possible due to failed to verify whole-file signature.
9. Discover that official recover mode doesn't install unofficial roms.
10. Searched for official roms of Milestone 2 BR. All links are broken.
11. I flashed downgrade_for_bl_3 with RSD Lite. Everything was ok. PASS.
12. Still bootloop. Enter in recover mode. Black screen. Can't see the android icon with exclamation mark.
Is my phone a paper holder now? Please advise.

I'm really without luck today.
I manage to flash a SBF with Android 2.3.6, exactly like the one I had. But then I couldn't root, not with the same method I rooted mine, not with any other method.
Then I downloaded another SBF and used RSD Lite to flash it, and the phone completely died. RSD reported everything OK, PASS, Finished, perfect.
Now nothing happens. The phone is off, black screen. Completely dead. But if I hit Power + Vol - + Camera, the computer recognize. But nothing on the screen. I'm re-flashing the same SBF again.
Why different thing happen when I proceed the same way as I did in the past?
Why can't I just flash a recover boot that accepts direct installation of Cyanogen Mod 10???

You have to flash that same Android 2.3.6 SBF file, you can't use any more that "another sbf". For rooting that 2.3.6 use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750277
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1758271 this can help too
After you get CM10 back running, do not use droid2recovery.apk anymore!

Thank you. That really helped.

Because you already have recovery and you don't need it... doing this you can destroy something (maybe 2-init or 2-boot), and you will need to recover your phone using RSD Lite.

Hi Douglas, did you get the milestone working again? I'm stucked with the same problem, the rsdlite recognize my cellphone I can flash it but the screen is black. Anything works
How do you fix it?

You can still flash other sbfs, but when do turn on, you need to go in recovery mode, than clear cache and data. It will start normally again.
To go to stock recovery hold when turn on "@" or "x", than when show the "android with ! " you hold volume - and foto or volume + and foto or the volume + and -, than you are in recovery.
Sorry about my English
I am showing all the option because I do not remember perfect what to do... But it works

boot into stock recovery and do a full wipe. This will solve your problem.
Press Power and x (on your Hardwarekeyboard) for several seconds. Release the buttons and you will see a yellow triangle with an exclamationmark in it. Now press vol up and down key together. voilla you got it

I wish it was that simple. After flashing the phone is completely dead. And now I cant even go to bootloader anymore.... :crying:

could your problem be battery related? do you have a chance to try using another battery?

Hi,
Sorry for the late reply. I was charging the battery
No, the problem is not the battery. Nothing works anymore. The phone doesn't even turn ON. All Black screen, not even boot loop.
So I get into the bootloader and flash new room. I can see the SN Updated text. But that is it. After it doesn't work.
I flashed DOWNGRADE BL =3 and then I flashed MILA2_U6_3.12.0_SIGNED_US1MILESTONE2PERARB125LA016.0R_GSXMILETPERARLA_P022_A013_M006_HWp2a_WIG142538_Service1FF
Nothing. Black Screen.
Then I flash M2L_U6_4.5.2_51-27_R01_SIGNED_US1MILA2GBPERARB125LA001.0R_STABLE45LAMILETPERLA_P013_A028_M001_HWp2a_Service1FF.
Then I get boot loop.
:S

Help! My phone is stuck!

I recently tried to flash my rom for the first time with safetrap. I reboot my device but when i try to boot it up all it says is "safetrap disabled system starting in 10 seconds." at the bottom right it says continue and at the bottom left it says recovery mode. I can't press any of the buttons and after 10 seconds the screen goes black. this may be a boot loop and i have no idea how to fix this. Help please. This phone is a droid razr m JB4.1.2

Need more details. Did you try to flash over the stock ROM or did you create a new ROM slot and flash there? FYI, you can't flash over stock in SS. If you did, you'll need to fastboot back to stock.
