[BRICKED] Droid Razr M

Hello! Not sure how this happened. Last night, my girl turned off her Razr M phone and went to sleep. This morning, she tried to turn it on and it was stuck on the "Motorola" logo. After a while, it said that it failed to boot and gave an error. Sent me straight to AP Fastboot mode.
I started researching and somehow the phone is now bricked.
So, my research took me to download RSD Lite and I tried downloading various ROMs and stuff - I'm really new at doing this with Android so bare with me
The latest thing I tried is the PacMan ROM, but RSD Lite gives me the error: "Please check input file. Eithe rxml format is wrong or image files associated with it are missing."
I read somewhere that it's not necessary to use RSD Lite for ROMs, the thing is I can't access my SD card. I don't have a way of getting anything in or out of it. No other devices.
What can I do at this point? I am willing to try anything to get it working again.
Thanks so much for taking the time to read this

Open the xml inside the zip you're flashing and remove the line:
Code:
<step operation="flash" partition="partition" filename="gpt.bin" MD5="5B3FD782141145E4BD1C9270D954AFF1" />

Yeah modifying the xml file is necessary, but also make sure your phone is charged above 50 percent. Low battery causes some funky errors with RSD.
Also what version of android were you running? I'd try flashing the new stock KK with RSD to at least get it up and running....then worry about flashing a custom.
The good thing is if you're getting into fastboot, you're not hard bricked and it's salvageable with some work!

Is your boot loader unlocked?
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app

Hi,
To answer all the questions:
1- Is your boot loader unlocked? No
2- I've modified the XML file and removed the lines I was advised to remove.
3- Not sure what exact version of Android the device was running, as it's not mine. Also, what is "stock KK"???
4- ezknives, I've read through the post and basically the guy removed lines from the XML file - did that, also uninstalled Moto stuff and installed Motocast. No joy.
Right now, RSD shows the error message "Failed flashing process. 1/16 flash sbl1 "sbl1.mbn" -> Phone returned FAIL."
I am using the 4.4.2 firmware found here: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8
Other ideas?

One more bit of info. The eBay seller reports the phone had "Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich" installed when she purchased it. Not sure if she updated it or not, but I don't think so. Does this new information change anything?
EDIT: I downloaded and tried out the 4.0.4 version from http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8 but it stops at the same steps, even after editing out the XML file.
Also tried the utility found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207419&page=2 (the latest version).. seems that it does some work but the device still doesn't respond. Gets stuck at Android logo.. and I've tried RSD with all I have (4.0.4 and newwer) but no luck.

OK so.. somehow I managed to flash the stock 4.4.2 version after many tries - using RSD.. it now boots but only to a frozen "M" logo.. and keeps cycling back to it.. any ideas?

Hi, I was able to flash - or so it seems - 4.4.2 but it gets stuck in a loop (motorola logo, turns off, goes back).. unless i put it back in fastboot.
Will unlocking the bootloader help me? I am trying to get Motorola to give me the code/help me with this, as my device does not have USB debugging turned on. But before I continue "fighting" to get the code, I want to make sure i can use it for something. Can you advise me?
Thanks!!!

Re-flash 4.4.2 with RSD Lite one more time. I've read that running it (RSD Lite) twice will help to fix the bootloop issue. As far as unlocking your bootloader, Motorola will not give you a code if you do not own a developer model. You'll need to use Motopocalypse to unlock.

This would be the 4th time successfully flashing 4.4.2 with RSD Lite, but I will do it just to see what happens. About unlocking the bootloader.. it's still not clear to me what I will gain if I can get it unlocked.. Can you enlighten me? Thanks!

I can get into recovery and download on my sm-g900v going into recovery it says insalling system update then no command. I have wipe data/factory reset or wipe cache partition as far as wipes go. I got here by removing a bunch of KNOX stuff, then I got stuck on the boot screen and cant get any further. Been trying mixes of stuff on Odin to no avail.
"android system recovery <3e> KTU8P.G900VVRU1ANI2"
Really could use some advice.

Okay thanks

The method never worked for me, I found out if your computer does not recognize your phone via USB before you attempt this method it will never work, my phone would not come up at all when connected to my USB port. I ended up contacting Verizon and sent my phone back, told them it died on new update, it's been 2 weeks haven't heard from them.

How did you brick your phone? I know it sounds weird but I'm looking to really mess up the bootloader on mine without simply triggering kies and having it lock up my phone. I figure if I can brick the phone then use an insecure debrick image I may be able to flash an unlocked bootloader to it without having to use JTAG and everything.

I Made A Terrible Mistake!

Hello there!
So, I'm using Zenfone 5 (2G) Running on Official Lolipop
I had my phone bootlooped back in that time, then I flashed a wrong recovery version, it was KitKat version that I flashed, I got into Recovery Mode.
I tried to sideload update packages (both KitKat and Lolipop ROM) and it showed me some error like can't mount /cache (invalid arguments), I expected this as losing partition (If I'm not wrong)
And now I can't even get into droidboot at all, here is the responds from following things I do :
Recovery button combination : Works (Gets to the recovery)
Power button : Shows USB logo
Droidboot button combination : Shows manufacturer logo forever (Stuck)
But, as I said, I tried to sideload the packs and it fails...
Could someone help me? Maybe some easy way to fix this? For a note, I tried bunch of tutorials to fix my device, the last one was xFSTK thing.. I followed every single step correctly and ended up with an error.
Thanks before

Try this:
Download a flashable custom rom, put the rom *.zip file in the same folder with ADB.
Go into recovery TWRP, connect your phone to your computer.
Push rom *.zip file to your phone's internal storage with this command in ADB:
push [file.zip] /sdcard/.
Then flash that rom file with TWRP.

Well, sir, how can I get into TWRP? I can't even droidboot... My recovery that I flashed was stock

deleted.

Basicly the procedure to debrick is same. You need to load bootloader temporary since you have a broken droidboot including your partition. I already have same problem with you before.
Yeah its different, you cant use ww to fix this. Find on official zentalk tw forum for complete detail. Shakalaca post that.

My question is, does this work the same as your files? And, could I do something about it? Like re-use by recycle again the files I've downloaded with something that might help my phone? You know.. 900 MB is not something very small for me.. And maybe I could download separated files that is required.. And make the use of Debrick files I downloaded?
And.. May I have the link of Shakalaca's post, if you don't mind? Thanks a lot, like a lot!

Hey um, I followed the Debrick one. The problem comes when I ran Debrick.dat, from the Cloverview mode (Press vol down and connect to pc). While the Debrick program runs, the phone "boots". Shows up USB logo and it goes red. Few seconds after then, the program closes, leaves the phone on red USB logo. Is this something normal?
Btw that link can't help.

Didn't you try reboot from bootloader. If it solves, it means normal. You must thank to intel for this problem.

This happened with my Asus Zenfone 5 (T00j). Tried every solution available on net without sucess, finally took it to Service Center and they had to replace the motherboard

Possible root for Tab S2 SM-T818V and SM-T818A aka SM-T819

I have a possible root solution for the T818V/T818A aka the Verizon and ATT version of the T819 if any one is interested in giving it a go?

Here we go. This is for T818VVRU1AQB1 firmware, but probably works on any revision 1 firmware.
Instructions
1. Enable OEM UNLOCK
In Settings>About>Software info tap the build number 7 times to enable developer options. Once you've enabled developer options, developer options will appear in settings just above the About device option. Open developer options, the 4th or 5th option should be “OEM Unlock”. Turn on.
2. Download the eng boot image.
This is a special boot image normally used by engineers, it allows selinux to be booted in permissive mode with relaxed root restrictions.
Do not replace this image with the stock image after rooting your device or you will possibly soft brick your device.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862710309
3. Install boot image:
Download Odin v3.11.1
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the SM-T818V_eng_boot.tar to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
Reboot
Check in Settings>About>Software, your device should be in Selinux permissive mode.
4. Install and run Kingroot:
Make sure you have an internet connection.
You may need to run Kingroot several times to gain successful root.
5. Install and run SuperSU me to remove Kingroot and convert to SuperSU (not required) :
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...ore&pcampaignid=APPU_1_uzPDVbGyFcGNyATHrqmoCA
6. Wifi fix:
modify the line below in /system/build.prop:
ro.securestorage.support=true to false
Good luck I hope it works for you. Let me know your outcome.

The boot image flashed OK with odin? Which splash screen?
This could mean you need to wipe the data partition first for it boot.
I should be able to get the stock firmware for you sometime tomorrow.

Flashed fine. It's the screen that says Android very big and had the tab model, right before it goes into the boot animation.
I'll wipe data partition and report back.
Please don't feel responsible for it, I'm about trying anything for rooting... I'm sure we'll get fixed

Flashed fine. It's the screen that says Android very big and had the tab model, right before it goes into the boot animation.
I'll wipe data partition and report back.
Please don't feel responsible for it, I'm about trying anything for rooting... I'm sure we'll get fixed

Sure, we'll get it fixed no worries.
Anyway it seems like you need the accompanying botloader if its getting stuck on the bootloader animation.

If it still doesn't boot I'll give you a link to the entire engineering firmware via PM. Then se how you get on with that and gaining root.

Are you saying that the full firmware didn't flash either? At what point does it fail?
Anyway don't worry I'll upload the stock AQA3 firmware later.
EDIT: I think this is all you'll need to get booting again. Flash via AP in ODIN.
If not I'll give you the link to the entire firmware.

By the way, have you unlocked the bootloader yet?

Check this out:

I unlocked the boot loader already. I haven't tried to install the recovery shown in the previous link, because I haven't been able to back up my entire firmware first. Can any one confirm it works, please.
There is a chance the file belongs to a different unit. Its name doesn't suggest anything related to our tablet model.

Being able to find a recovery for our tablet is like finding a needle in the haystack. Finding a ROM is like finding a threaded needle in the haystack. That makes me think why should I root my tablet.:crying:

I have it working perfectly on my TB-X704v, all I did was flash the version for the TB-X704L/F (10.1 inch plus) from here:-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/thinkpad-tablet/general/twrp-root-tab-4-plus-tb-x704l-f-tb-t3664407
Important to make sure you boot to TWRP after flashing and not allow the system to boot as this will overwrite your TWRP.

Do you mean physically boot into twrp after flashing?

Yes, and what I do is issue the command fastboot reboot while pressing and keeping pressed Vol+, as soon as tablet reacts to command disconnect the USB lead.

Sorry i didnt replied. Yes. I tried that one too. The same result, many times. Perhaps there is a difference among the tablets that make some procedure or twrp file work for some tabs and dont work for others.

Unlikely though, have you tried different PCs or different USB ports or even different USB leads.
I hope you are using the lead that came with the tablet.

Thanks a lot for your patience. I was using the front usb ports, so I moved to backports. I tried a different usb lead or cable. no different result. I made a video and uploaded to youtube. It doesnt show the exact moment I hit enter and the tablet reacts and disconect de usb cable, because my bouth hands were busy . you can see I follow instructions. unfortunately it didn work and the tablet restarted normaly.

Excellent vid, it looks like the tablet for some reason is not even trying to go to recovery mode, why I don't know.
What happens when booted and you issue from ADB reboot recovery ?
Or even from fastboot mode, fastboot reboot recovery ?
EDIT: Try the latest minimal ADB :-

After I execute reboot recovery, tablet reacts, I disconnect usb, the screen goes black for a second and then the tablet goes to fastboot mode. with +- buttons I search menu for recovery, I hit enter, the tablet restarts, keeping android recovery. By the way, im using the latest minimal adb . Thanks anyway :good:

I wonder if everybody but me has succed installing twrp in tb-x704v. If we want to help and get helped we need feed back. I know not much interest in rooting this tablet since no Custom ROM available yet (as far as I know), but we should try one step at the time.

How did you get bootloader unlocked guys, please!
