[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!

S5 Hardbricked, need debrick.img

So my s5 g900v hardbricked. I've seen multiple threads on the subject at this site, but none have linked a debrick.img for 5.0(lollipop). If anyone has one i would be grateful.

Debrick image only works if it is exact. What firmware? What bootloader?
Example : PB1, Latest (Locked)
QT_BULK occurs in device I assume? If not, not hardbricked.

Yeah, qt_bulk.
Unfortunately, i don't know the firmware/bootloader. It just bricked on me back in March.
Going by sammobile's database, it could be BOG5, BOK3, or BPB1

Edit: The PB1 img worked for me

G900v Hardbricked
Stock, standard S5 G900v. Started Occasionally giving error msg "System Service is not responding".
Googled this & found a common cause is an almost full SD card. Had a 2 gig card almost full, replaced with a 16 gig card, phone started constantly rebooting to splash screen, phone is now Hardbricked. How can I tell which bootloader & firmware are/were on the phone? As I stated, never rooted, took all ota updates, etc. device is recognized by my PC as Quallcom HS-USB QD Loader 9008. Thanks in advance for any/all advice.
Update: I found the original box from the phone & the SW version printed on the box ends in PF4 . Anyone have an unbrick image for this?

hello got a verizon s5 to fix from a friend. it was showing secure modem fail please connect to verizon upgrade software to fix. I did try to connect with the stated software but it didn't connect to the phone. i therefore went and flash the latest firmware for the device. upon flashing the software, the same secure modem fail connect to verizon upgrade software. i tried again to flash over firmware..this time i was succesful, but then i was waiting on the verizon logo for 20 full minutes... i pulled the battery out. thinking it got stuck. now the phone is hard brick blank screen no light no charging. i tried looking for a debrick image for G900VVRU2DQL1_G900VVZW2DQL1_G900VVRU2DQL1 firmware but no joy... is there anything i can do to revive this phone? it shows up as qusb_bulk in device manager and says device driver not succesfully installed. please help..thanks..using windows 7 on a mac. thanks

Technically any 6.0 debrick image should work. For s***s and giggles, you could even try the PB1 img posted earlier - it's also bootloader revision 2, so it theoretically might work. Really, you just need the img to get you back to a working Download mode so you can flash firmware again. If it doesn't work, I'd recommend looking on eBay for an S5 from a seller that accepts returns. Root it, create the img yourself (instructions are here on XDA), and then return the phone

You did actually burn/write it to the card, correct? You didn't just simply transfer the Img to the card storage?

If you want to root, use adb method or all in one tool, both are preferred methods

i have the same problem. I noticed when clicking on "oem unlock" and the warning-message appears that when you don't click on "cancel" or "enable" but somewhere else, the warning message disappears and the "oem unlock" seems like enabled (switch is turned on). However when i leave the menu and open it up again, the oem unlock is disabled again. Seems like a bug.

i found an interesting article about how to get past the locked bootloader:
http://www.tech-and-dev.com/2016/06...ing-to-marshmallow-zui-lenovo-zuk-z1.html?m=1
With this method it seems that its possible to get twrp on the device. But im not sure if i can install for example CM14 via twrp when i have installed it on the device. Im afraid to brick my zuk z1.

Full stock ROM to flash

Hi,
I have Axon 7 A2017 China. I'm looking for a full stock ROM to flash using TWRP.
My Axon is not booting to Android but I can boot to TWRP. I was on 7.1 before it stopped booting. It stopped after I attempted to flash Open GApps which failed buy then the phone stopped booting.
I was looking a lot for the full ROM but can't find it.
Any other suggestions to get the phone working again are welcome.
Thanks,

Edit: im stupid. Sorry, was to late yesterday.

You can find the A2017 stock ROMs on 4PDA. Go to the 4th categ brick repair manual, click on the link that says 'Miflash and drivers', and open one of the spoilers (no need to translate, it's straightforward) (i think it's the 2nd spoiler). Then download one of the images such as A2017_Bxx_NOUGAT_FULL_EDL. But BE SURE that it's for your phone!
If you want google stuff on your phone look for Xiaomi's 'Google Installer'. it'll just download the apks and prompt you to install them, and you'll get google

I can't flash the ROM I downloaded from the URL you posted earlier using TWRP. I can't boot in EDL mode either. I'm New to this, can you give done pointers?
Thanks

Well you obviously can't flash it via TWRP since it's a MiFlash package lol - to flash stuff in MiFlash you don't use zips, you use folders. Take the zip you downloaded and unzip it somewhere on your PC. Download MiFlash and
You need to go to TWRP, then from your PC issue 'adb reboot edl'. the phone will look like it's off but it's not. Open MiFlash, select the folder you unzipped (if you open that folder and you find only one folder inside, select that one) and press Flash or Start or whatever the start button is

HELP!! Back to Stock (I've Read Other Threads)

So im on VS995, trying to get back to stock. Seems pretty simple...except I cant put my phone into download mode. Every time I try, it goes static screen and cant be recognized by computer.
Ive been reading threads for hours and hours now and cant find a solution. I even tried flashify and chasinsu app, but those were dead ends too.
Someone posted to flash the kdz file with fastboot. But i couldnt find any instructions on how to do that.
I only have one day left to return the phone. so im almost out of time.
I know this question has been asked a million times. I really did go through a ton of threads trying to find and answer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

First time I have heard of a static screen in download mode, but curious you also state the phone isn't recognized by the pc. Have you tried different usb cables and ports on the pc?
Sent from my LG-H910 using XDA Labs

Search for KDZ extractor and extract the VS995 KDZ for the firmware version you are running. If you can't find a KDZ for the version you are running, you will need to flash a LOT more than this, do NOT flash only these partitions unless it is the exact version...
Once extracted, get into fastboot mode. With the phone off hold vol down and plug in the USB cable.

Reboot your phone. You will still get a warning for now, but you need to make sure your phone boots. If it does, get back into fastboot mode.

Now your phone is back to stock.

it cant be recognized by comp because of the static screen. Ive tried different cables and different computers. I even tried flashing a different rom and kernel just to see if that would make a difference, but still it goes to a static screen 2 seconds after being in download mode.

ill give it a try and see what happens. thanks. But to be clear. i know it came with 10b. But when i rooted and added custom roms, did that change? Do i still need to use the 10b kdz file? Or any KDZ file? The one i downloaded is 14b

Then if runningnak3d's suggestion doesn't work, you probably have a hardware issue

Just so odd. It boots up fine. Just threw on Alpha Rom and flashed custom kernel. No static boot. Its only when i go into download mode.

You get static because download mode uses a kernel that doesn't have the screen init patch that the kernels you can flash have.
Even though you have static, your phone IS in download mode -- trust me, the H910 is the same way (or was on older firmware).
If your phone isn't recognized by LG UP in download mode, then you have a driver issue, or a cable / port issue, and you might not want to use fastboot, because fastboot may recognize your phone, but it has NO error correction, so if you flash with a bad cable, you can brick your phone.
You say you flashed Alpha ROM. Go into settings / about phone / software and determine what version you are on. THAT is the KDZ you need to download. However, I would try to get LG UP to recognize your phone first and just flash the KDZ. Going that route, it can be ANY VS995 KDZ.

If you absolutely can not get LG UP to recognize your phone, post a link to the KDZ that you want to flash, and I will create you a zip that you can flash in TWRP that will take you back to 100% stock.
I really don't want to see you brick your phone.

Thanks. really appreciate it. And I apologize for the late reply. New house. been painting all damn day. I know its way late now, so I understand if I missed my window for getting the zip file from you. Truth be told, I need to return the phone by noon tomorrow. And since its unrealistic (nor do i expect) that you are seeing this message immediately and have time to do the zip file tonight. Chances are, I wont be returning it and just have to throw it up on ebay and hope someone wants to buy a unlocked/rooted v20.
But to answer you...
I know it was on 10b when i first got it. now its showing 1CA.
Even when the comp does recognize it, LGUP gives me an error "cant load the model".
Does it matter what kdz file? 12A is pretty popular, it seems. here is a link for that https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/4889/VS99512A_06_1114_ARB00.kdz.
Turning it into a zip file. Flash in twrp and then what? Use fastboot to relock bootloader?
