[Q] Razr M stuck on red light - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
My wife's phone, that has never been rooted/unlocked, suddenly got stuck on the red light when booting. I've already rebooted the phone, wiped cache and factory reset it multiple times but it's still stuck on the boot screen animation. It's also one month past the warranty so Motorola won't exchange it...
I would like to install Cyanogen on it, but device is locked and it won't let me flash recovery. All the guides I find say how to unlock the phone through having it rooted and enabling the usb dev mode, but this phone won't even boot...
Is there a way for me to unlock the phone from fastboot or the default recovery, then flash recovery and from there basically follow this guide?
Thanks,
EDIT:
some info showing up on the fastboot:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)
10.9B(*) (sha-1e9f557, 2013-09-25 16:16:38)
Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0

any luck? this happened to me too

[SOLVED] Bootloop. No recovery. Bootloader locked.

================================
Solution: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...bootloader-locked-t3212187/page2#post63494201
================================
Hello,
This afternoon, I was preparing to flash Oxygen OS 2.1 through twrp but I wanted to make a backup first. Attempting to load up twrp by holding Vol- and Power, my OPT flashed the starting frame of the boot animation for half a second before turning off. This repeated every 5 seconds. I could still boot OOS normally at this stage.
I decided to reflash twrp so as to make the backups, but on attempting to flash it, I saw that my bootloader was locked. So into fastboot mode I went, but trying to unlock it, it did the same as trying to get into recovery. As soon as I sent the command, "fastboot oem unlock", the screen went dark, flashed the starting frame for the boot animation, and promptly when dark again.
I now can't boot up normally, nor can I enter recovery. I can access fastboot mode, but I can't seem to make any changes.
I've attempted to use this solution as well as several other similar ones with no success.
I've had my OPT since 17th of August with absolutely no signs of trouble until this afternoon.
To me, it seems like it could be a hardware issue, but I'd hope it would last more than 40 days.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'm not sure what I was doing, I was going to flash different ak kernel as my wifi didn't work.
HOWEVER
I read someone suggesting if you still have bootloop after trying the qualcomm recovery tool, try booting to fastboot and use: fastboot continue
my opt booted nicely to hydrogen os and after I shut it down it no longer bootlooped and I was able to get to recovery.
I'll post this to your reddit thread too, maybe it might help somebody one day, hopefully this works for you too

Mate! that worked for me too!
However... It only seems to skip the bootloop for that power on. After power off, it returns to the boot loop. I also still can't unlock the bootloader and can't access recovery.
But at least it can boot into OS with fastboot continue!
Thank you.
Weird, after the first successful boot I rebooted and a chinese menu prompted me if I wanted to unlock the bootloader, and I did.
Maybe you should try different recovery packages.
But I'm glad to hear you at least got past the boot loop

Can't flash a new one since the bootloader won't unlock :/
I guess the phone is in working order at the moment, I just can't let it get turned off without my computer next to me...

Nono I mean different qualcomm recovery packages, the ones with MSM8994DownloadTool, I also replaced the stock recovery in the qualcomm package with twrp just in case if that matters

but it might have also been this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B14IjYN3PtxcSlJ5aGQxX3JERHM/view?usp=sharing
It's also worth mentioning I flashed both a few times before I tried the fastboot continue command so try both a few times and see if that helps, also I replaced the stock recovery with twrp in both recovery packages before flashing.
Edit: And best of luck, I'm rather confident your OPT is going to work properly again.
Boot Loop
I got the same problem.
Phone is rooted and i can't unlock it in cmd, just reboot itself when i try it.
The only way for me to even start the OPT is to (volume+ and power), to get to fastboot mode, then run "fastboot continue" twice in cmd.
If i reboot the phone it get cought in a boot loop where i can see the logo, reboots about every 2 sec.
Is there a solution for this? I've been searching 2 for two days now.
I don't care if i have to reset the entire phone.

I got TWRP installed but its unreachable, volume- and power ends in boot loop.
I can´t install anything when the phone is locked.
I even tried a Factory reset, boot loop and no change when i got it up again.

I finally got my OPT working again, tried Qualcomm recovery tool, wasn't able to complete the "MSM8994DownloadTool"
So i downloaded "A2001_14_A.03_150805" in a guide from technobuzz.net/unbrick-oneplus-2/
A similar but it does a entire wipe of the phone, nothing left at all. WARNING!
But i was okey with it.
Well the phone was in Chinese when it was all done but to change language was no problem.
I finally managed to solve it on mine. I had been cautious over the past weeks to not let it run out of battery or get turned off while away from my computer as
Code:
fastboot continue
was the only way I could get past the boot loop.
My core issue to solve was that I couldn't get it recognised as the USB Diagnostic 9006 under Ports in Device Manager. I installed the driver from here manually by right clicking the /qcser/x64/qcser.inf file and selecting install from the context menu. Then, I powered off my OP2. While only holding Vol+ (not power or Vol-), I plugged in my OP2 to the computer and it was finally recognised as the 9006. Then using the recovery tool from the prior link, it installed and rebooted my OP2. The moment of truth was when it rebooted and didn't enter a boot loop!
Then with the Chinese recovery prompt, I selected the top/first option and it brought me to the welcome/first setup screen of OOS.
It wiped the internal memory, and installed OSS 2.0.2 (don't know if coincidence or not as that was my prior OS as well). Now to install twrp and update to the latest OOS hopefully without a hitch.
Happy to finally know it wasn't a hardware issue like a failed eeprom or a dud nand controller as my prior phone (Samsung Note 10.1) died to a failed nand controller as well.
Will update with news of twrp and OOS, but I feel that should go smoothly now. Thanks to the others that helped in this thread too!
Yeap, all good!
Flashed official twrp through fastboot and batch installed OOS2 through 2.1.1 patches and SuperSU. Everything working like new!
Phew.
hi can one of you guys help me out? on teamviewer? mine is stock in the bootloop and i can only get it to boot up via fastboot continue. and i cant figure out how to get it to work. i would like to go back to complete stock and no root

Hi GusGold No its 9008

OnePlus Two stuck on boot logo after trying to unlock bootloader on OOS 3.0

Hi, I tried unlocking the bootloader of OOS 3.0 because I wanted to root it but after typing in "fastboot oem unlock", my phone got rebooted and got stuck on the boot logo.
I waited for hours, still stuck there.
And I checked by restarting the phone and going to fastboot, bootloader is still locked
I tried to go into recovery, but there too I get stuck on the boot logo, what do I do?
I look around Reddit and found two threads, but their solutions didn't help me since I cannot enter recovery.
What options do I have?
I also found the below thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/oneplus/comments/4cvn69/oneplus_2_stuck_at_boot_logo_after_trying_to/
It seems a similar problem as mine and just like his phone, I am able to access fastboot mode in the boot logo.

Yes, it booted fine, used it for 24 hours.
This error showed up after I tried to unlock the OOS 3.0 bootloader.
Hmmmm not a clue then, maybe you need the Qualcomm recovery tool to fix it

That doesn't work either. The progress bar never shows up on it.
So no bootloader unlocking, no recovery, no booting up.
Is this device permanently gone?
Do you know how to do it? Install the Qualcomm drivers and then boot into Qualcomm mode etc

Hard brick? Can't boot to recovery

So I think my Nexus 6P is hard bricked, but I just want to be sure before I issue an RMA.
I was on a plane flying over the Pyrenees and opened the camera to take a picture. The phone froze and started rebooting, which I found strange really strange as it never happened before. Since then, it wasn't able to boot again. The phone is completely stock, running 7.0, apart from the unlocked bootloader that I had unlocked the day I bought it (March/April this year). The phone shows the unlocked bootloader warning, goes to the white Google logo with the padlock below, and then goes back to the unlocked bootloader.
From here I can Power + Vol down and get to bootloader, which I thought would leave me to recover the phone somehow. I know my way around nexus devices so the first thing I tried was scrolling in the bootloader menu and boot into stock recovery. No luck, unlocked bootloader warning, white Google logo and loop. Tried "Factory" in the menu and the same thing happens.
So then I've gained access to a computer and tried downloading a twrp recovery and boot into it. Ran fastboot boot twrp.img, the phone tries to boot again, and the same thing happens. Boot loop. After that, I've downloaded the latest stock Google images and I've run a different set of things, all with no luck. Booting directly from fastboot into stock recovery doesn't work. Flashing stock recovery and trying to enter stock recovery via bootloader menu doesn't work. I've erased and flashed bootloader, radio, and all other partitions (system, boot, recovery, vendor and cache), without any luck. The fastboot commands return "OKAY" but it seems like it's doing nothing.
I am out of ideas, I always thought I would be able to recover a Nexus phone as long as I could reach bootloader mode, but I guess I'm wrong. Should I RMA, or is there anything else I should try?
Thank you.
You say you "Ran fastboot boot twrp.img." Try to do fastboot flash recovery twrp.img from fastboot and see if you can get twrp working. Then try to flash a ROM

Done both, actually. Tried to boot directly from a fastboot command and then tried flashing the actual recovery image to the phone. No luck in both. Never able to get into twrp.
I had the same thing happening to me. I was also using stock 7.0 with an unlocked bootloader. My screen froze during webbrowsing and had to restart the phone. Once booting up, it never came past the Google logo. Getting into recovery didn't work either, just started looping again. Tried to flash twrp, got in there after many tries. Tried flashing all kind of android versions but nothing helped. After that I decided to just use my warrenty and send the phone to the store. They replaced the motherboard and are now sending it back.

Yep, I gave up already. Tried all different sort of thing, and was never able to get into any kind of recovery, let alone Android itself.
Called Google support yesterday evening, a replacement is on its way already.

Needed the RMA anyways. If you had an unlocked bootloader and formatted each partition and then flashed each partition with the corresponding image file from the latest factory image, it was shot. It happens from time to time. Happened to mine as well. 2 or 3 days after I finally got it (pre ordered on launch) I rebooted the phone at some point 2 or 3 days later and it just never turned back on. 100% bone stock. Not even an unlocked bootloader. Nothing would happen when I plugged it into a PC, left it on AC power for hours and hours and still nothing. Holding power 10-15 seconds, nada. RMA'd and luckily this one's been perfect ever since. Good luck with the new device!

Phone won't turn on

Tried to root my phone and accidentally wiped phone without ROM in phone.
Phone then would only boot into fastboot, but not recovery,
After trying multiple times to boot and sort of recovery whether its stock or twrp, nothing worked. Kept giving me failed when unlocking bootloader.
Then phone went dead. Would not boot to fastboot, recovery, or even charge.
It's completely dead and unsure what to do.
Only thing that comes to mind is to contact LeEco for a replacement since it's still under warranty. Assuming they won't be able to tell it was played with.
Anyone have any other suggestions??

Leave it connected to charger for 24 hrs. U can turn the phone off by pressing both vol and power button for 15sec.
If it is x720, its already bootloader unlocked. If it js x727 u need to flash chinese rom on it first through official recovery. If u can still put phone into fastboot woth valid display, u can flash grossoshop fastboot rom yo go back to stock.

After couple days, started seeing red light blinking. Charged it and boom, was able to get it into fastboot but not recovery.
Had to flash aboot and xlm, then unlock bootloader, flash twrp, push rom and was good to go.

You are a freaking lucky guy then. My Le Pro 3 didn't live up any LED light after constant charging for 3 straight days. (Eventhough it went dead at about 85% battery)

Couldnt fix it. Flashing the rom back to stock via the qdloader mode doesnt work and it always fails when its writing system partition. I guess the cheap price of this device is set from the 3rd-class electronics manufacturing process.
I have given up until i get a windows xp/windows 7 system with usb 2.0 ports then i will try reflashing it one last time or give it to my daughter as a shiny new toy with no life.

Cant leave fastboot after unlocking bootloader....

So just got the axon 7 mini yesterday and was so excited I decided to try to root it with my laptop while my girl was driving us home from Las Vegas..... Ell I got as far as unlocking the boot loader.... now i get this odd screen after i try to exit fastboot. (pic-1) and no matter what option I pick the only thing that will come up is this screen. The only time its different is if I try to chose start from this screen then I get (pic-2) The best thing about this is that I can still go back to fastboot anytime. And it shows up in fastboot devices. Do I need to reflash stock thru fastboot? If so How and Where can i find it. Can I just flash nougat? I'm new to ADB/Fastboot.... Thank you for your time and consideration ahead of time for any help.
Hi, jcole6197, I think you can do as the screen told, there are steps in the screen.
Perhaps you can use tuliptool to relock the boot loader and flash the corresponding no verity boot file found in the development section. It almost seems like the boot binary was corrupted or lost during the process.

so I was stuck all day yesterday trying anything and everything. BY THE WAY...Im very knowledgable but im pretty much a newb in rooting dept. especially fastboot. Well it seems I erased everything including the bootloader then battery died and no I have NOTHING on screen, no vibrations. Pretty much looks bricked. But when I try to put it in my computer to charge it it still shows up in my devices. BUT its not being found in adb/fastboot. I've tried every key combo/and length of holding them which doesnt do nothing
Can you place the device in edl? It will not display any lights or images when it is in edl.
