Soft Bricked Droid Razr M - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Long story short, I ended up rooting my Droid Razr a long time ago and just started using it recently. It was perfectly fine until the other day when I restarted it. It started up normally with the boot logo and the boot animation, but after those are done it just showed a black screen where I could do nothing. I then rebooted it into the recovery menu and formatted it. Then once again it started up like normal and then when it finished booting it went the the setup but after that there was nothing. What should I do?

which bootloader version?

It is the XT907. I don't happen to know the bootloader version off of the top of my head. But I tried to flash the stock ROM and everything worked, up until I reached the system image and then it says "Could not flash system.img could not allocate (Don't know the exact number) bytes"

[Q] Please Help, Phone doesn't boot

I own a Germany O2 Milestone 2 and tried flashing MIUI onto my phone by following an online guide. I rooted my phone, installed and used bootstrap, flashed Bootmenu v0.8.6-v2.zip and then installed MIUI 2.5.25. I wiped twice and rebooted. The red motorola logo appeared and then the screen went black.
After 20 minutes of waiting I removed the battery and booted again. Still the same motorola logo and then a black screen.
My phone won't boot and I can't even access recovery mode. Please help me

yeah, I stumbled upon that too, and it worked perfectly! Thank you very much!

Semi bricked?

Last night after a good night of working with my tablet out on the job I came home and noticed it was running a little sluggish so I rebooted it. It then proceeded to hang on the bootloader screen. I tried flashing into recovery and wiping and reinstalling but it still stays hung up on the bootloader screen. Getting into the recovery boot loader it says the secondary kerlel akb has an issue or something. Is there a way to Odin this thing back to stock? It's not totally bricked I can still get into recovery just can't get it to boot into the second kernel or whatever it means. I can get the exact terminology if someone needs it but I have been bricked worse than this before its just weird it won't fix itself after I re install a new ROM.

I am on the Skillraz V8 boot loader to be exact, and thats the first screen it gets stuck on..
I just tried flashing a stock un rooted ics zip but it still hangs on the first screen after rebooting after the install, which seemed to take ok... and it doesnt change my recovery or anything back to stock.

[Q] I somehow lost my recovery?

So I was running CWM (Philz) I believe, and I had been running into issues while on rooted 4.2.2 D800 stock ROM. There were force closes and random reboots, etc. I've only installed xposed mods. I've also used android tuner to adjust some of the build.prop and kernel presets.
However, after my phone got stuck in what I thought was a boot loop, I finally got it up and running. What happened next was odd. I tried booting into recovery -> the "LG" splash screen showed up and it went into another infinite boot loop.
I'm assuming I somehow corrupted or lost my recovery. Any advice on what to do? I don't know if I should follow the original instructions for flashing a recovery here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2633150.
Edit: Jesus christ my phone infuriates and confuses the hell out of me. After attempting to enter the recovery again, I am now stuck in a permanent boot loop. The last time I fixed it was by turning my phone off....and then *WAITING*.
What? That doesn't make sense you say? Of course it doesn't. But that's still what worked. I waited 12 hours, and then tried turning it on again. When I did, oh look, the AT&T screen!
CONFUSING. help please...
Double edit (Hard Mode): Going into download mode when I'm in this constant bootloop = nothing happens. That little icon that says "Download Mode" with the 5 blue circles just stays there, and my laptop ends up not recognizing anything. This happened the last time too, and all I was able to see on my laptop was "QHSUSB_BULK". I thought this meant that I would have to do a complete wiping process through Linux (found on another thread somewhere), but apparently waiting 12 hours also fixed the problem.

Samsung galaxy s5 stuck on bootloop with no recovery mode?

Got a problem with my samsung galaxy s5. A few days ago it was working fine but occasionally randomly rebooted itself. It was be on a bootloop then it will boot up normallly after while.
Randomly the phone had ended up in a bootloop which it is not able to recover from.
i tried using the recovery mode, but that doesnt work. The phone will boot up the first logo after while, but usually it will boot up to a white screen, then will constantky repeat and never end. The screen is working fine, i do not know why it is booting to white screen.
My phone did that with stock ROM bootloop, I found a good ROM and cm12, soz I didn't answer your question that well. But to me the white screen your getting sounds likes you've deleted your boot loader, but don't take my word for it as I'm not a XDA developer, but I'd try and reload boot loader, but wait till you get a reply from xda

Device keep restarting G935FD

Hi sorry for my bad English.
My device always restarting after 2-5 minutes on the home screen and I try to turn off the device and charging it and the device restarting too even on the TWRP the device freezes after 3-5 minute and I can't touch the TWRP after but when I turn off the device without charging the device my phone is okay.
Then I tried to format data and change the TWRP but still the same when I go to TWRP the device freeze too after 2-4 minute and I still trying to flash FloydQ V1.0 then it stuck on the Changelog in the installer.
I wanna flash it with Odin but I scare if the device restarting when I flash the device
Last TWRP is TWRP 3.3.1 Moro
Last ROM is BlackDiamond NFE Port V4.0
Do you have any idea what happen with my device? And how can I fix the device? Thank you
Chances are a hardware problem. The installation of rom stock via odin would be essential to discard this option. If you do not want to try because of the risk of the device restarting in the middle of the installation, I suggest taking it to an assistance.
HI,
I had the same problem with the same model number. Wife woke up to find her phone not charging. The phone then became unresponsive then the screen went black and blue light stayed on. I tried flashing it but the flashing process failed and the phone displays a message about using Smart Switch Recovery mode. Phone was never rooted or had custom roms on it. Purely stock and I tried flashing it with a stock rom as Factory Reset didn't resolve the issue either. Is the phone dead and/or can it be resurrected?

My phone is unresponsive with only the blue led indicator light on, does this mean anything? I mean i'm assuming that my phone is hard bricked since I'm not able to access either the recovery or download mode. Initially it got stuck on a boot loop (stock rom) and switched to download mode when it was left connected to the charger and after I tried force rebooting it, it has become completely unresponsive.
I flash the device with Odin and now stuck on reset.
