[Q] Hard bricked NST after deleting partitions - Nook Touch General

Hello,
My NOOK is completely unresponsive with a plain white screen. When I connect it to the computer it does not get recognized so writing the backup on it is not an option. I tried disconnecting the battery with no avail.
Anyone with more advanced suggestions? And remember partitions are deleted (I was trying to write an old backup on it).

Did you try booting to the SD card? Maybe with NookManager or CWM? Not sure how the partition issue would affect this since I'm not sure how much of the device is needed to be working to boot an SD card.

It does not turn on of course. That is what I meant by "completely unresponsive". So booting from SD is currently not an option. Thanks for the suggestion though.
I do not have a device that is stuck at some screen, that can be turned on or off. the only signs of life are
1- the green led lights up when connected to charger.
2- "unrecognized device" sound comes from my windows PC when I connect the NST to it via USB..

My phone wont promt me to mount my SD card when i connect via USB to my laptop

I tried to figure out how to setup adb, and in the process tried to reinstall HTCSync2.0.25.
Ever since then (it may be a coincidence though) my phone does nothing but charge when i ahve it plugged into my laptop. I tried different cords, ports and computers and still no notification telling me to mount.
Is there a setting that i touched that may have turned off mounting?
Did i somehow delete the drivers? If so, what do i need to download because clearly HTCSync2.0.25 isnt doing anything for me since i tried removing and reinstalling + rebooting several times.
Any tips?
EDIT: Ive never had any problems before and i cant remember if i had any when i first got the phone or not.. I'm on windows 7
are you using stock ROM or? does you phone play sound when it connect to the laptop?
everything is stock htc sense.
no sound is made. its like the phone doesnt exist when i plug it in. it just charges. At first i thought it was my laptop, but then i tried my other computer and it didnt work their either..
Have you tried rebooting your phone?
yes, more than once.
Rebooting hte phone with the sd card unmounted (from the phone settings). Rebooting with usb debugging enabled. rebooting with usb debugging disabled. rebooted my laptop. everything
bad data pins on the usb port on the phone?
i doubt that. it worked fine 2 days ago.
Do you have DoubleTwist installed? I tried it once and it messed up my usb mounting and media scanning.
nopei havent installed any new apps between the time where it worked, and it didnt.
one day it did, the next it didnt.
Maybe its a driver error? wehn you first plug in a new htc magic, will it see the SD card or will it not do anyhting until your have the proper drivers? because i just reinstalled htc sync for the 10th time and it still doesnt see anyhting
Can you mount via recovery?
If yes then it's not hardware, cable or your usb port. Likely rom or app related.
If not then it's hardware, cable or your usb port.
well i dont know how to mount via usb, but the screen says fastboot usb when i plug it in.
Nothing comes up on the computer..

What kind of recovery are you using?
Reboot to recovery and mount the sdcard from there.
Plug it into your computer.
Does a removable disk show up?
Try a different sdcard
Try a different usb cable
Try a different computer even!
If all three fail then it's probably your phone (hardware).
Try to mount via recovery (sdcard in the phone, rebooted to recovery and depending on your recovery version... in this example I'll use Clockwork Recovery go to Partitions Menu > mount USB storage.)
If successful then it's rom related.
If fail then hardware (sdcard, phone hardware, computer hardware, usb cable) related
It's not difficult to troubleshoot. We just need to eliminate possible problems to pinpoint whether it's your sdcard, phone, usb cable or computer.
Thanks forhelping me. I appreciate it.
But I don't know how to mount via bootmenu. Il try a different sd card when I get home.
Also I got the stock recovery. Nothing had ben changed
Alright i just put in another sd card and still nothing. would formatting to factory settings help?
But before i do that, is there an app that backs up all my data and then restores it?

Uhhh.... yeah. There are several apps on the Market that will back up your data and restore it. Mybackup Pro ($$$) and Titanium Backup (Free) are the most popular.
But I would suggest installing a custom recovery first.
Try clockwork (use my signature) by downloading Rom Manager.
As long as you have root, (you do have root right?) then you can easily install a custom recovery.
Honestly though, it sounds like a problem with your computer or cable. If you can access the sdcard from your phone then it doesn't sounds like an issue with the card.
yea i guess its a problem with my phone then. I just did a factory reset and still nothing. I tried different cords on different computers so its unlikely that they're all broken..
And no i dont ahve root. Thats why i needed to connect, i was trying to root my phone!

Yup. It sounds like an issue with the usb port on your phone then.
It seems like it's not recognizing the cable when it's plugged in to switch to enable usb mounting.
but how could this happen so randomly? i had it plugged in and no problems, then when i went to replug it in a minute later nothing happened.
It's not a driver problem?
My computer gave em a popup once saying the device malfunctioned or something

It could be a driver, but if you tried a different computer then it's like you said... it's unlikely that all your computers are having the issue.
Just for the hell of it, uninstall the drivers, plug the phone in and try mounting it.
We just need removable storage and that doesn't take any special drivers at all.
yea thats what i tried yesterday, which still didnt work
i'm on hold with HTC now.. i'll see what they say. it's still under warranty
I cant believe this randomly happened.

Mass storage problems

Hello,
I'm having problems connecting my phone to the computer with a USB.
The first problem is making the phone aware that it is connected to the computer. If I have the phone already on and connect it, it will start charging, but the notification bar won't tell me it's connected. To solve this, I found out that I have to turn the phone on while it's ALREADY connected. I think this could indicate some kind of problem. Doing this I'm able to tell the phone to mount the SD card.
But my second problem is that I can't get it to mount in my computer if I choose Mass Storage. I tried on 2 computers (Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows Seven), and it didn't work in neither of them. I tried turning USB debugging on, and it made no difference.
When I unplug the phone, it will still think it's connected, the only way to fix it is by restarting the phone.
If I insert the microSD directly in the computer (with an adapter) it works fine.
Has anyone had success mounting it on Linux? Finding a Windows solution wouldn't solve my problem, as I only use Linux.
Thank you!
When you click on Mass Storage, pull down the notification bar and click in Select/Click here to copy files to/from your computer and it will mount your SD Card and you will be able to copy files to and from SD Card

I'm having your first problem too. I Think this happend after I've rooted my phone, then I tryed to unroot, but doesn't worked. Any idea of how I can fix it? If the way to solve that is flashing I'll flash a Froyo rom, I haven't did it yet cause I'm waiting for the official Froyo from Samsung, but they're taking too much time to release it!
Thanks for any idea/solution.

Well, I fixed this problem on my Galaxy 3 with a Factory Recovery. But first I've made a backup to the SD Card, with MyBackup Root (need root), after that I turned the phone off, and turned on pressing VolUp + VolDown + Home + Power, to enter the Recovery mode, and then wiped the data (restored the factory config). Now the phone shows the connection menu when I plug it to the usb.

Welty, if you decide going for flashing a new rom, let us know if it works. I'm leaving for vacations tomorrow, so I won't be able to try anything in the next 2 weeks, but if you make any progress, let us know
@iomartin
I was thinking that I was going to lose the root, but when the phone rebooted with the factory settings the root was there, I just needed to install the app to restore the backup.
About the flashing, I did it today, with the JPF (Froyo), and it's working fine, I'll test the battery duration to post my impressions about it. Froyo has a better keyboard and I'm not using Swype
Sent from my GT-I5800, Froyo (JPF), using XDA App
*EDIT* Well, the battery is good. With my use (Wi-Fi for entire day, used to see TweetDeck and some web with Opera Mobile, few phone calls and some sms), it's good, just like Eclair, or a little worst, but nothing that compromises my phone usage. Let's see if the Samsung official Froyo for SG3 will be better. Hope this helped you in your decision about this upgrade. You're from Brazil too, and I thing Samsung will release Froyo soon, like GS5 already have it and SGS had the Beta Froyo released too.
Can you try the options described in the below thread?

[Q] HTC HD2 Won't charge or be recognized via USB

Hello,
I recently successfully installed Windows Phone 7 rom onto my HTC HD2. The phone was working fine and would charge the battery when connected to a dedicated charger on the wall plug as well when it was plugged into another computer. I recently attempted to plug the phone into the computer via USB only to find it wouldn't recognize it ,no prompts on the computer or the orange light on the phone. I turned off the phone, removed the battery for several minutes, I started the phone up again and it would boot into Windows Phone 7 normally without any errors but still it would not be recognized by the computer or allow itself to be charged by an external battery power. I had read somewhere that if I where to select Mass Storage option off the bootloader that it would charge the battery and create a partition on the computer. Huzzah! the computer recognized the partition, but the battery still wasn't charging. Going through multiple threads I have read that it might Magldr others say it's the windows phone 7 rom not being fully stable yet and messing with the battery settings, I don't know where to go from here, i'm hoping someone can help. Here are the direct steps that I took since I got the phone:
Phone: HTC HD2 T Mobile
1. Unlock the phone (successfully)
2. installed HSLP3
3. Flashed Radio leo 2.15.50.14
4. Installed/Flashed MAGLDR113
5. Using USB Flasher installed the LEO70_ROM
That's all no settings afterwards were messed with, and Windows phone 7 came up normally and worked perfectly.
Side note: I have tried multiple micro USB cords and different Socket Wall Chargers.
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mr_Pickles
I've yet to find out why it does this, or a step by step guide to fix it, however it is fixable, it will charge battery if you boot to magldr mode, no light will come on but it does charge, mine done this before and came out of it seemingly by its self, or more likely by a combo of things I did, anyhow, charge it up in magldr first, also try using usbdview to list all your USB devices, delete them all, windows can get confused some times
well fancy that, just happened to me again there, ok, so was at work, and my phone wouldnt take a charge via the socket or USB port on a working PC, like i said before it does charge via magldr
anyhow, just got home and plugged it in to my PC that i know it syncs with and all was fine.
So for you i'd definitely suggest deleteing your USB devices to make sure there is no conflicts, charge up your phone via a wall charger in magldr, then get it working with your PC, perhaps then you will get it working,
Thanks, it still isn't charging when it's on MAGLDR, i'm starting to think the battery might be dead. Either way I've ordered an external battery charger and an extra battery, hopefully that solves my issue. Although it still perplexes me why when attempted to connect to a computer it doesn't recognize it.
Unfortunately at this point the battery is completely drain so I can't do anything until the charger and the extra battery comes, but until then i'll keep digging for the answer.
Cheers,
Mr_Pickles

ah yes that is a problem, youve got the charger coming so its a bit late now but that happened to me once, if its just a bit too dead to get you to magldr to charge then i found if you pop it out, wrap it in a cloth and warm it up, do not place it directly on a heat source, by warming it up a bit it helps give it a wee nudge with its chemical reactions inside, potentially enough to get in to magldr.
there is no way of knowing if its charging via magldr other than it not turning off. but with an external on the way you will be fine.
as for it having issues
im guessing its because the battery controller on the HD2 isnt the same as the controller from where the ROM was pulled, meaning whilst its compatible, its not ideal, the not connecting thing could be a symptom of this, im just guessing here but if lets say the battery controler forgets what its doing could that knock out the who USB connection, the USB ports on the computer will have com ports connected whilst the charger will only have the power ports connected, perhaps a combo of all of these things is the reason
but what id do is get it charged first, use the program USBDVIEW (google it) and remove all USB devices associated with a connection to a HUB reboot and connect the HD2 (fully charged) to a different port than usual. it should install drivers and away you go!
Ok! So i got the charger and did all the steps below but still nothing, the computer won't recognize the phone through USB unless I go to Mass Storage option off of MAGLDR. Any thoughts?
The Windows 7 OS runs just fine. It's the connection to the computer/charger through USB that is the problem. Even when loading the boot loader (multi color screen) and then connecting the USB it won't recognize it, the bottom stays on "Serial".
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Mr_Pickles
righty, this could be a challenge,
so usb storage mode IS detected when you plug it in with magldr
therefore we can rule out hardware issues
So physically it will connect, that leaves several different possible issues
first things first, you didnt mess about with USB tethering did you? i really hope you didnt and if you did you better start praying your phone is still unlocked and will allow unsigned apps, and that you still have the USB tethering app installed!
next, WP7 software issue, something is buggered stopping it for connecting,
unlikely if you cant connect via the SPL
Desktop Driver issue.
if there is any USB conflict on your PC it can create many problems for you did you try uninstalling all USB devices using USBDVIEW in admin mode, then try plugging it in again?
ok some other questions, does MAGLDR allow you to go to and use USB flasher mode, as if you where updating you WP7 ROM? does your PC connect and install a device driver when you plug it in? (make sure you deleted all USB devices before hand)
lastly, do you have access to another computer that has NOT had this phone plugged in to?, purely to see if it will get detected in SLP mode or ideally in WP7 itsself? this would obviously rule out your whole PC and would help pinpoint the issue!
Hi Dazza,
Here are the answers to your questions:
Q: first things first, you didnt mess about with USB tethering did you? i really hope you didnt and if you did you better start praying your phone is still unlocked and will allow unsigned apps, and that you still have the USB tethering app installed!
A: I did not mess with the USB tethering, my phone is still unlocked.
Q: Desktop Driver issue.
if there is any USB conflict on your PC it can create many problems for you did you try uninstalling all USB devices using USBDVIEW in admin mode, then try plugging it in again?
A: Yes I did, it still did not connect to the device, not allowing to view it as a storage device or charge the phone. The phone also does not recognize that it has been plugged in to the computer.
Q: ok some other questions, does MAGLDR allow you to go to and use USB flasher mode, as if you where updating you WP7 ROM? does your PC connect and install a device driver when you plug it in? (make sure you deleted all USB devices before hand)
A: Yes it does, it installs the drives and the phone shows the connection has been made through USB.
Q: lastly, do you have access to another computer that has NOT had this phone plugged in to?, purely to see if it will get detected in SLP mode or ideally in WP7 itsself? this would obviously rule out your whole PC and would help pinpoint the issue!
A: Yes I have. I tried 3 different computers and none of them recognize the phone.
Side notes:
- I have flashed an Android ROM to see if that would fix the error so I can switch back to WIN 7, but even with the android ROM the computer still does not recognize the phone being plugged in, nor does the phone recognize it has been plugged into the computer.
- When I have gone to the bootloader (multi color screen) in my attempts to bring back the phone to it's orginal state, it still does recognize the phone and won't let me install the base OS and radios for the phone.
I hope this info helps, man i'm really starting to regret getting this phone.
Thanks,
Mr_Pickles
ok, think we need to start again, its sounding all a bit dodgy, MAGLDR is working but the bootloader and WP7 itsself isnt....
you tried reflashing android to no effect
the only common denominator is the SPL/HSPL and the Radio
However because bootloader isnt working in USB mode you cant flash....
SO, next attempt is.....
Format a small SD card, format it as FAT32 or if that fails try FAT16 (512MB card) this is the tricky bit because some cards will not work.
Downloaded the original ROM for your device, usually a .exe file
Open the exe with a zip/rar program,
Extracted RUU_signed.nhb,
Move ruu-signed.nbh to your sd card,
Rename ruu_signed.nbh to leoimg.nbh
Then power phone off,
pop your small SD card with leoimg on in your HD2
Press and hold volume down, tap power but contiue to hold vol down.
The phone should boot into bootloader mode, and it "should" automatically discover there is a leoimg.nbh file on your sd card and ask you to flash.
If it is the wrong image, you should get a failed install message, but if you phone does nothing at all then either the sd card is faulty or the sd card reader is faulty (unlikely if WP7 was using it), or the nbh file is corrupt.
Faulty SD cards could be format issues, ideally you would format the card in the device itsself but you dont have that option unless android will let you do it, which is always an option!
Righty, hopefully that will reset your device SPL radio and all to the original state, if it works and you can get 6.5 working again see how you get it, its a hunch but i reckeon the SPL got buggered up, i cant see any other logical reason for it not to work, think of the SPL as a BIOS on your PC, if you turn USB off in your BIOS you dont have usb working in the OS.
Just to add to the topic here. If you can still transfer data but not charge or receive power via USB does not mean it is not a hardware issue. It just means the pins for data transfer in the USB port are working. A standard USB port has 5 pins in it (this includes micro and mini USB ports) only 2 of the pins are for power transfer the other 3 are for data transfer.
Also if you do not have ActiveSync or WMDC installed on the computer you connect to via USB while in bootloader you will not get the HTC USB sync (USB in white bar of bootloader) connection because these programs have the USB drivers for the HTC USB sync connection, they are not preloaded on the HD2. Therefore the do not auto install when you plug your USB cable in and are in bootloader. I learned this thechard way.
The OP had posted in the HD2 General forum too and I had advised them to try to use a multi meter to test the battery pins while the charger is plugged into the HD2 to comfirm voltage is getting to the battery. I also advised them to try and flash back to a Windows Mobile ROM to see if charging was possible. Both of these things would rule out a hardware issue.
MAGLDR still has this charging bug, it will let you charge while in USB Mass Sty bit it is not charging the battery correctly and this why, quoted straight from the first post inthe MAGLDR thread.
Battery controller inside LEO needs runtime control during charge, it implemented in OS.,
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The runtime control means that MAGLDR can not control the rate at which the battery is charged which is not good for 2 reasons. One too little (too slow) of a charge rate or too much (too fast) of a charge rate is detramental to your battery life and battery chargeablity. The secound is to much voltage going to the battery can cause the Li-Ion battery in the HD2 to explode. Now reason number 2 is a very unlikely senerio as all common USB type wall chargers only put out 5.0v to 5.1v and that is safe for Li-Ion batteries, but there is still the risk. But as the quote says the "run time control" is implamented by the OS so when you charge with your HD2 booted into the OS it is safe and not harmful to your battery.
I hope the OP gets their charging issue worked out and I hope it is not a hardware issue.
indeed, the power pins as you pointed out could be the issue, im trying not to complicate things at the moment because even if it was, it should still commence coms to the computer, it does connect via magldr so we can assume that firstly the cable is ok on the data lines, secondly the PC is able to detect the device meaning the device itsself is working
We can also assume that if all USB devices have been removed and no ActiveSync or WMDC is installed then Windows would still detect new hardware but will fail to install it, if the drivers were present and it connected we'd have fixed half the problem!
physically it can connect (magldr proven) but something is prohibiting it in bootloader and the OS, the PC isnt detecting it at all. I dont understand why magldr works and bootloader doesnt unless magldr is able to run its own form of bios, i dont know how it works so i couldnt be sure, so im running with a hunch that the HSPL/SPL is buggered as it wont connect to the pc in bootloader.... if we can flash via SD it will help rule that out.
aye the charger thing on magldr is concerning, but it will be ok to give it a short amount of juice to get to windows, overcharging is the issue, could potentially blow up but its unlikely, the plug charger should have a built in IC to knock it down to a trickle charge when it detects its reversing the polarity....should! lol
Thanks everyone, i'm planning on trying this out tonight when I get home and using the SD to bring it back to stock. Hopefully this solves the problem otherwise I'm thinking that T-Macgnolia is correct and one of the Pins in the USB is broken and would need to be fixed.
I really do appreciate all the effort you guys have given in your response.

its possible that the bootloader or the OS needs the power to be connected in order to function, you did say that you have tried different USB ports and a number of cables, the only other posibility would be that the pin on the phone its self is broken, thats going to be difficult to test.
do the SD thing first, if that doesnt work boot to android, note the battery level, get it to around 50%, then turn off the phone and boot to MAGLDR, you do not need to have it in USB storage mode or anyother mode, just leave it plugged in at the MAGLDR menu.
now the USB port on a PC will provide no more than 500mAh, so if you had 50% charge that would be about 600mAh in the battery, leave the phone plugged in to your PC in MAGLDR menu for an hour, that should give it no more than 1100mAh of juice, (it will actually be less than that as your screen will still be sucking juice)
if you use the 1A wall charger then only charge it for 30min, just to be on the safe side. (if you can i would recomend this one as it rules out any issues with data pins) and if its not working it wont completely drain your battery sitting there with the screen on
anyhow, boot back in to android and see what the battery level is indicating, if its gone up you know its charging, if its gone down you know it isnt, which may indicate a broken phone.
Good luck and keep us posted!

i think its almost certain its a SPL issue, possibly got corrupted somehow, least you know its not hardware, i know this sounds a bit much after all you just went through but dont give up on WP7

I had exactly the same problem as Mr_Pickles.
I had tried reflashing the stock rom using the SD card method.
Everything installed normally, but after the flashing the HTC logo appears followed by the Radio version and other info shown in the bottom of the screen in red text.
Then the mobile reboots and keeps doing the same thing again and again.

did you install HSPL? before doing anything or is it doing this restart after you reflashed your Stock ROM via the SD card

HSPL 2.0 installed, Stock rom installed via sd card method, still the same problem.
The point is that I read somewhere to just keep on flashing wp7, which works fine until operating XBmod-Yuki Rom Build 7004:
- While the wp7 works fine, the phone can't be recognized by any PC via USB, so i can't update the build via update cab sender
- But: The phone is detectable and chargable in bootloader mode, so now hardware issue?
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I have had this problem in the past and it stumped me for a bit of time until I looked very carefully at how I was resetting the device. If you are not careful and with flashing etc you will be ripping the battery out all the time.
Look at the device with the battery out and you will see those 3 little pins. They need to be in a line for the battery to make decent contact with it. Over time if you are constantly taking out your battery it will bend them... you can just use your finger to straighten them.
That should do it. It got to a point I always take out my battery carefully now and make sure these pins are aligned before putting it back in.
okay, this is my time to post here.
using h2owner's wp7.8 rom I got a problems with sudden stop charging till once my battery dead completely.
after that I have (quoting my post from h2o thread):
"
it's not to abuse as we know all the risks we take testing roms, just asking for your advice:
1. I did install your latest rom
2. after some time it stopped charging at all
3. the problem is the phone got unable to charge under sd android as well.
4. at the end of story battery got dead - can't load magldr.
5. managed to direct power on it via red/black cables of usb to +/-
6.but the problem still the same - I can't charge battery via phone
7. and even more - can't enable usb via bootloader (tricolor) - serial only:
- usb flasher works only with wp7 rom install;
- magldr, hspl, task29 flash via usb flasher fails with critical error 0000001;
- naturally, can't flash winmo;
- usb storage works well."
1. nbh of the default os flashed fine
2. pins are aligned
3. issue is still here
please, help if you can

okay, now I got "00028002 not allow" error trying flash stock original rom from sd...
still no sd in bootloader, which changed to 1.42...
completely lost.

USB goes ballistic and internal storage SD card greyed out after connecting to win7.

When I plug my nook into my laptop it 'briefly' enters USB mode, and then drops it and the drives. It then tries to go back into USB mode, and basically does this repeatedly until it gives up The nook is basically unusable during this and keeps flashing with the usb mode and normal home screen. After this happens, both the Nook internal storage and SD card are greyed out in settings, reading "unavailable", and the SD card cannot be accessed and is not detected in any way. What gives?
Is this a windows problem, a nook software problem, or a hardware problem? I'm not sure if this happened before I rooted, since I basically just took a backup and rooted as soon as I had it out of the christmas wrapping.

Can you please try to connect it to the pc without the sd-card inserted?
Have you tried reloading the original firmware?

The same thing happens when connecting without the SD card. I haven't tried reloading the original firmware yet but I first really noticed it happening after I did a full backup with NookManager on 1.0.1. That was when I could not get it to stay in usb mode long enough to copy the 1.1 update zip into the directory. The only way I was able to get it in was I 'tried' doing the 6 hard resets where I tried holding down shut down 6 times in a row (but nothing special happened so I thought nothing happened). And then I restarted windows and it seemed to work, for a while anyway, until I rooted. I wonder if that had to do with restarting windows or restarting the nook a couple dozen times. lol
The changes I've made so far to my nook ST:
1.0.1 backup with noogy
1.0.1 backup with nookmanager
1.1 manually update
1.1 root with touchnooter
I rooted 3 times in a row because the first time none of the apps worked
multi touch kernal with CWM
then I switched to
OC kernel with fast mode
lots of software additions and tweaks like legacy launcher, wallpaper changer, ES file explorer, adb wifi
Static IMEI mod
Whatsapp verification/install
So besides the USB problem it's kicking ass at this point . I really hope I don't have to restore to original firmware or return it for hard ware problems. So I can confirm this is not a usual occurrence? Let me test it on some other computers to see if it's my laptop...
UPDATE: I started windows in safe mode and it had no problems whatsoever connecting to the nook as it should, and the nook didn't go nuclear either. So I suspect it's some drivers or software relating to virtual disks that is conflicting with the nook, or something else enigmatic. What a pain..

[Q] Enable USB Debugging Via PC

I have done tons of research on this, and nothing clear is coming up.
My friend dropped her phone, shattered the screen, and the display is blank. It's a stock razr m, running the most current OTA update. She had all of her pics saved to the internal phone memory. The phone turns on, and I can hear the sounds and see the LED light blinking (stupid thing is trolling me).
USB Debugging is not enabled.
Installed motorola device manager.
The phone connected and installed a bunch of drivers.
Now it just shows up as a camera, with no file system to explore. It's blank.
We tried inserting an SD card, and the exact same thing ^^^ happened.
I have read that USB Debugging needs to be enabled to explore the phone's internal storage. I know that I have to do this with my Note 2 to see anything from the PC. Is there anything I can do in ADB/otherwise, like enabling Debugging to make this thing's files show up on my PC? Thank you for your help.
you don't need to have debugging on but you do need the USB type to be "MTP" not camera

Debugging using PC?
I actually had a similar question.
I currently have the Droid RAZR M and it kept going through a bootloop. I have never rooted my phone, so I'm not sure why this happened. Anyways I tried a recovery and and hard reset and I'm still getting the same thing. Then I tried using RSD Lite to do a fastboot, but I'm not sure if I did that correctly. The Filename was VRZ_XT912_6.7.2-180_DHD-16_M4-31_1FF.xml. This failed at step 12. I was wondering if this was because USB Debugging is not enabled? Is there a way to enable it from my computer? As of now I'm stuck with this...
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Flash Failure)
0A.74
eMMC Info: Size 16G
To return to normal mode - first press power key to power down
Device is LOCKED, Status Code: 0
Battery OK
OK to Program
Connect USB
Data Cable
If someone could help me out that would be great, or point me in the direction to the right forum.
Cheers
