A real brick of a phone. - Droid X General

Long story short, bought a DX at a good price hoping to flash and sell. Here's the best part, the phone will not charge or be reconized when its on by a PC. To makes things worse...I factory reset it hoping it would take care of the issue and when it boots, it boots to no home screen (black screen, white top bar). I can't sbf, can't load the home screen and it wont charge when on. It does charge when the phone is off.
Anything I can do? I just don't understand why it will charge when off but not on and because of that, there is no connection to the PC so no way of sbf'ing. Phone is currently 2.2, 30.03 bootloader.
Any help would be appreciated!

pm replied too hope it this helps.

i was just thinking of something. you may not need to do what i suggested in the pm i sent you.
try this FIRST!!!
charge the battery (obviously) and power up the device. if you cannot see the screen plug in a hdmi cable to your tv.
press the Menu key when you're at the Home screen or a pane, then select Applications -->Development. USB debugging to turn it OFF.
if it is already off....then turn it on.
either way hopefully when you plug it in the drivers will install to your pc. if not then follow the directions i sent you in the pm. goodluck.
note: i do not know if it will work as i do not use hdmi on my device. but hopefully it displays the homescreens on your tv.

That works when phone is soft bricked, this looks like a hard brick
I thought that only developers hard bricked vibrants, I didn't really ever think it could happen while flashing a rom? Was your battery charged at least at 20%? I have axura 2.2.5.7 and it flashed fine when I did it a few weeks ago this makes me not want to update to the newest rom.

Thats what I thought too. I just had this happen last night...no power, no buttons, no boot, nothing... DEAD. I tried this this morning and it worked.
I tried everything, no effect, unless the phone in the trash, unless you know another way to fix it, all the other roms work without a problem, the problem was only with Axura

Help needed ASAP for broken epic

I need to take my phone back to sprint, seems there is a hardware problem with the phones charging circuit. it will not mount to the computer, it will sort of charge, but if you unplug the cord, it just thinks its still charging. if you turn it off, it either just stays off until you pull the battery or sometimes it just reboots itself. it will not charge when off etc.
I tried 3 different roms so I know its not the rom.
So odin is out. I have bonsai rom and clockwork mod on the phone. I don't think thats a good idea to take it to sprint like this. is there anyway to get it back to stock?
anyone help please?
Just to make sure, have you tried putting it in download mode? It doesn't necessarily need to mount to computer for odin to recognize it.

Agreed, that's what I was getting at.If odin will at least recognize it and start to flash, even if it fails it'll stick at boot screen.

i have got the screen to say download mode, but odin doesn't recognize nothing.
ugg, I got this clockwork v 3.0.0.5 and I tried to run an old update.zip figuring maybe i'd brick the phone or get it back to stock and it won't work with that version of clockwork. I don't know what the heck to do, i can't walik in with it like this.

Just follow the instructions. Good luck. Let me know if you have any problems. I had a bricked epic once and that solved my problem.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
yea, odin is a no go, thats the problem i tried odin on two different computers, you want to know how screwed up this thing in? sometimes it boots up and thinks its in car dock mode.
Try a different USB cable? If odin is just impossible, remove sd card, take a short piece of wire with bare ends, have phone powered on, and short whatever you find on the back, fry the board. Sad, but gotta take it out back and put a bullet in its head.
Really though, IF the Sprint employee even notices, chances are they won't say anything anyway. Never did for me.

how much does it cost for them to fix it? tried 2 different cables and i know they were working, i know its not the cable because, when i plug in the charger, it doesn't ring up usb debugging when that is selected and you only supposed to be able to deselect or select usb debugging when the cable is out, but I can toggle it on and off with the cable in or out.

Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
since i'm rooted and they would be foolish not to notice i'm rooted and it seems there is no way for me to unroot or go to a stock rom, would it be better to just brick the thing? i hate to do that do to the fact that then i'm stuck without a phone. Plus what if I brick it and they find out it was rooted? can they do that?
If its truly bricked, no they can't. Them knowing its rooted isn't that big of a deal, they'd either attempt to revert it to an official build anyway, or they'll tell you they can't take it that way, as in bring it back stock.
I've taken in 2 Epics for hardware issues, one was screen, the other keyboard. Both were rooted, one was on stock build and the other on custom rom. They restored stock software to the custom rommed phone before they decided the screen was actually broken lol

While that would be the "smart" thing for a company to do, Sprint's official policy on rooting is that they will revert it to stock if they see that it's rooted during any repairs.

apparently the policy has changed, as after waiting an hour and a half, they came back and said its rejected because it was flashed and i lack common sense apparently when I mentioned that it doesn't say anything about that anywhere.
If u can put the phone in download mode the problems r the drivers on your pc should check that or try different pc.

I've had this before. You need to purge the power in your phone. Take battery out and hold down the power button a few times.
This will purge power and memory.

I had my phone do the exact same thing (die during flash). What you can try doing is leaving your battery out overnight, and in the morning, plug the phone in to your computer/wall, then plug your battery in.
Really what you need is to get your battery charged. If worse comes to worse, you could go to a Sprint Store, and tell them your phone died and you don't have insurance, and ask them to charge your battery, OR if you know someone else with your phone you could swap.

She thinks it's your battery. Especially since it won't charge when your phone is off. She said if you go to the store with just the battery and tell it's only lasting an hour or two they should give you a new one without much trouble. That's the only way to make sure.

If all else fails I will try. The not charging thing I believe is a common bug on Anonymous i3 rom?
Just recently I have had the exact same problem. I am getting ready to bring it to Sprint tomorrow. I have reloaded factory EC05 on it to make sure it wasn't a software problem and it still happens. Here is how I am able to currently power up my phone.
With the power completely down and the battery out, plug your phone in (either AC or USB, doesn't matter).
Press the power button once. The empty battery icon will appear for a few seconds then disappear.
Press the power button again. While the empty battery icon is shown, plug in the battery. It should recognize the battery, at which point you should be able to hold in the power button for a second to get it to turn on.
That is how I can get mine to work. By any chance, do you use an extended battery? This problem started for me about 2-3 weeks after I started using an extended battery.

accessing files with cracked screen

A few weeks ago I rooted my ATT 800o phone, and even attempted to install TWRP. It gave me a compatibility error with 800o so forgot about TWRP. A week ago, the phone fell and the screen cracked, rendering the phone useless. It works perfectly fine, but I cannot enter the pin code since the digitazer is probably broken.
I tried LG PC suite and LG OPS or OTS (I forgot), and it doesnt see any USB device connected. I believe I left the phone in JUST CHARGE USB mode.
I need to access some files on the internal SD card, so I ask for suggestions on what to try next.
Assuming I can get it in download mode, which I should be able to, should I flash the stock LG firmware (800d) and then try to get into it that way? Will that wipe the files of the sd card (pics, application data, etc)?

@ clapper66, I don't understand how otg cable can help in his case.
@ OP, if you're in luck which OnScreen Phone feature has been ON as well as wireless, you then can use OSP with wireless mode.
Other than that, I don't know any way to mimic your phone on another display.
Worst case, send out to repair.

Other than that, I don't know any way to mimic your phone on another display.
Worst case, send out to repair.

His screen is not broken the digitizer is cracked so the screen works but does not recognize touch. So of he uses an otg cable with a mouse then he can go under setting then go to PC connection then select MTP mode so that when he connects a USB Cale that's plugged into his PC it will show all the internal storage of his phone and get all his files off that he needs.

Your suggestion is sneaky, underhanded and mischevious, and i like it.
Where might I casually find an otg cable?
I will probably sell the phone as is, so i'd like to avoid spending to fix it.

Well I know you can buy them online that's where I got mine, but I would check at some electronics store like RadioShack or bestbuy and maybe wall mart I think there like $5 to $10 or even go to your carrier. I ordered one of amazon for like $2 but it took like 2 weeks to arrive because it came from China.

Otg cable?

Great idea on the otg cable! I have one and didn't think of it!
BTW, screen repair is running $146. I saw it mentioned in threads and that's what they charged.

Thank you for the idea of the cable, but I want to try something first. I want to flash it clean so as to remove the exchange pin and hopefully get into it that way. I want to possibly sell the phone, so I have to wipe it anyway. If I don't recover the files, not a big deal (i hope...).
My thinking is...flash it back to stock clean, and see if I can change the USB connection parameters enough to connect. Then I can recover my files, and then maybe I can sell it. It is presently rooted without recovery. How do I flash it back to stock?

the link you posted is called "How to unlock the boot loader on your Motorola Device Moto X & Moto G"
Is that what you meant to send? If yes, will it wipe the internal card? In my experience in the past, unless you odin, most flashing rarely touches the contents of DCIM and sdcard.
