After attempting to put a rom on my phone and eventually resetting it to stock+majisk using the fastboot commands from motorola (which worked perfectly, the phone is fully rooted and fully functional), the phone will automatically jump straight to the bootloader whenever I power it off while plugged in. It has gotten to the point where whenever I tell it to power off in the bootloader it boots back to the bootloader. This problem predated flashing all back to stock, the problem is that it didn't go away after I nuked it clean using that list of commands.
Any help on actually being able to shut the phone down while charging would be appreciated. At this point, it is the only problem I have with this phone.

So basically, from running PA, i decided to try stock 4.4.2, so using the nexus root toolkit, i tried to do it, however once it said it was all done and ready, my nexus 7 remained on the bootloader screen, and when i clicked start from that, it said boot failed. So in the bootloader menu i pressed restart to see if that'd do anything, but now it won't boot up at all, not even to the google screen and there is no charge screen when plugged in. It was running the 4.13 bootloader and i think i needed the 4.23 or 4.19 for 4.4.2, but i don't see how that would have caused a failure because doesn't the bootloader get flashed and therefore updated when flashing stock?
If anyone could help that'd be truly great
Can you at least get into the recovery of your device?
I can't get it to turn on at all
Happy christmas by the way :laugh:
Youve held down your power button and used other button configs? I had an issue almost like that, but I wiped everything. I was able to reflash with under fastboot. If you can at least get the boot loader up you can use the NRT to get back to stock.
i can't seem to, its completely blank, i'll give it another go for longer
I apologize already if this has already been posted before, I couldn't see one that had my issues so I'm making this thread.
OK, so here is my problem and everything that I can think of that I've done to my phone.
Today I tried to restart my phone as it was getting a bit sluggish. When I did it started booting fine then the animation sound stopped while the droid eye was being put together. Now my phone will not pass the droid eye during the boot phase. I press the power and both volume buttons and after a few seconds it starts itself back up again. I do the power button and down volume buttons and it still does the same thing. I've even performed the factory reset twice and it still won't help.... And no matter what I do it keeps booting itself back up on its own.
What I've done to my phone:
I am rooted but never got the boot loader unlocked since i waited too long and the last update wouldn't allow the boot loader unlock methods anymore. I have used titanium backup app to delete some system apps for example the Verizon football one, slacker radio, and any of those useless apps that I never use. I haven't deleted anything lately and have restarted my phone many times since. I have been delaying the recent update hitting no or not now, whatever it says. I thought that I said no today on the system update as well. Even then my phone was working before I restarted it.
PLEASE I hope that there is something that I can do to fix my phone because I'm forced to use my LG Vortex again and my upgrade isn't for another year..... I don't want to buy a new one since this phone has been great and I'm almost certain that if there was a way to reinstal or flash the droid razr m OS that that would fix my issues.
Thanks in advance for your input and please know that I'm a novice with this kind of thing so you will have to explain the process to me. If i have instructions I can definitely follow them.
THANKS!
You Factory Reset a couple of times, so that tells me you know how to get into recovery. See if you can get back into recovery and try clearing cache/dalvik too. I think you can still do that from stock recovery.
If that doesn't work and your battery is good, you can fastboot to recover it. If your battery was low when you started this, charge it prior to fastbooting. Just hold down the power button until the phone shuts off and plug into a WALL charger until it's charged. If the battery is good, you can grab the firmware from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8 (use the second one from the bottom, .3, if you flash the last one you will not be able to gain root) and flash in RSD. Another choice is to use House of Moto to recover: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/28162-house-of-moto-20/ .
OK, so I deleted the cashe and still a no go. For the second step of getting the .3 to regain root. would it be possible to get an even earlier version so I can unlock the boot loader? Also when you say flash in RSD, what is that? I know of the AP flash from the first menu, is that something inside of Recovery menu options?
Thanks for your help!
**UPDATE**
THANKS! I was able to eventually figure it out and used the last option that you said and my phone works! Now working on getting root back. Thanks again!! But I really would like to know if I could do the same thing but with an earlier version to unlock the bootloader.
Droid Razr starting up issue
Hi guys, I am facing a weird issue with my Droid Razr and hoping pros to help me sort this out and get my phone running.
I am using Droid Razr but since last one week it is not starting up. Let me elaborate, currently it is switched off and not getting up. While starting it pass through M logo but can't go ahead for startup animation (droid eye animation). Even after leaving on that animation for entire day, it is not going ahead of that.
However, if I connect it to a wall charger (while it is off) it shows battery getting charged. It is taking a usual timing of 90 minutes for full charge.
I have important pictures and data into phone memory is there any way to recover it.
I would appreciate if you can guide me to get my phone up and running as usual.

I've been messing around with my phone, trying to flash CWM and CyanogenMod (to no avail), and yesterday something happened. I woke up, my phone was dead so I started charging it. It booted into the Stock OS (the one that ships with the G2--build D20010o I think). Shortly after, a message appeared on the screen about an update the phone was going to install (I'm assuming one that AT&T was pushing to my phone), and shortly after it powered down on its own. I have not been able to get it to boot into the OS since.
Before all of this happened, I rooted the phone with IORoot, tried to flash CWM (I think successfully), but was not able to install CyanogenMod, so I flashed an earlier build of the stock OS (D20010o), rooted it again (I'm not sure that I had to--I think it stated that my phone was already rooted), tried to flash CWM again (unsuccessfully this time), and I gave up. Then this problem occurred.
Every time I try to power on the phone, the LG logo flashes, and the screen stays on, but it's black. If I try to do a factory reset via the hardware buttons, I am able to see that screen, but as soon as I follow the instructions of pressing the power button twice, it says that it's initializing the reset, but then the phone's screen goes black again--not sure if the screen is on or off, though. The LED light is also not on during any of this.
I'm unsure what to do. I've had the phone for about 6 months, but I had not owned an Android before that--iPhone user for 3 years. I obviously did not do enough research or ask enough questions, but I would like my phone to be in a usable state. I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can give me!
NEVER take an OTA with a recovery.
Use the lg flash tool to go back to stock

Sorry, should have also mentioned that I can't boot into Download Mode. I'm assuming there's no .kdz file for AT&T, and the other method in that link requires Download Mode. :/
Soo.. Droid Turbo 2 from Verizon.
Not rooted. No custom recovery. Not even a single attempt at anything like that. It's my girlfriend's phone.
Was working great over the weekend until Saturday night. We were playing some charades game on the phone and it froze. Powered it off with Vol Down + Power. Ever since then, it will not boot. I was able to put it into fastboot a few times to try restarting. Got it into recovery mode and tried a normal restart. Then went to recovery and attempted to wipe cache partition. Since doing wipe cache partition, it will not do anything. Will not even boot into Fastboot mode. Screen is blank. No charging indicator when plugged into a charger. Nothing. Attempts at using Verizon Software Repair Assistant has failed. Droid Explorer cannot find the device. However, I do get a random Unknown device when plugging it into my computer, however, nothing has been able to communicate with it and it doesn't register in SRA or Droid Explorer when plugged in. Attempts to manually force drivers onto the device via Device Manager have not been successful as there are no standalone drivers I was able to find to install to the device.
I'm out of ideas here. Normally I would just warranty the device through Verizon, since I know how to get them to do that. However, there is a slight issue with the volume up key. it doesn't click like normal even though it still responds to input normally. I don't want a damaged device fee. Any other suggestions?
Looks like broken motherboard.
So let me begin with what I'm running.
Stock bootloader-locked.
Nougat 7.1.2 Beta from Google (On the beta program)
No root. Completely stock.
When I updated to 7.1.2 I started having this problem, the phone did not start up right after the update. It took a few hours to finally get the phone to come on, when I did I opted out of the beta and went back to 7.1.1, flashed back, phone started, yay!
Except.....
Now if I shut the phone down now I cannot get it to power on at all, doesn't respond to anything, no stock bootloader by pressing power+vol down, nothing.
The only way to get this phone to load up is I have to wait until the battery fully dies, charge to full and then power on the phone and it will start. Even after all this I still can't power down and enter stock recovery/bootloader.
Any idea on what's going on?

Interesting. You can't button press and get into bootloader? That's hard wired. Maybe a bad power button? I was going to suggest wiping cache from recovery as a first step, but you NEED recovery mode to do anything. At a minimum I would go into Dev Settings and allow both OEM unlocking and USB debug straight away. This way you can use ADB, and if you end up in a bootloop you can still unlock the bootloader and flash images and maybe a recovery . Do you know which 7.1.1 build you are on? Set up ADB/fastboot and try adb reboot recovery from within the OS. Maybe get you into recovery so you can at least wipe cache to start. Later, you may also be able to sideload an OTA from stock recovery (if adb reboot works). If the OTA doesn't fix it, you may need to do a factory reset. ADB will also allow you to pull any valuable files off the device.
I've actually signed up again and am running the beta 7.1.2 OTA Google beta program.

I've been back and forth with 7.1.1 and 7.1.2 and it does the same thing with each build.
I tried unlocking with Wugs toolkit but as soon as I get to power off device and go into bootloader I can't get the bootloader screen to show up and I need to wait until the phone dies and charge to 100% and then start the phone regularly.
I do have ADB installed on my PC but anytime I need to get into bootloader I'm screwed.

Thanks for providing lots of good info on where you are at.... most ppl dont. I'm also on 7.1.2 but with zero issues. OK gotcha, so using NRT, under advanced tools you have tried rebooting to both bootloader and recovery, and it failed. You didn't say YES, I enabled USB Debug/ OEM Unlock in developer options. By any means possible get into your OS and enable OEM Unlocking and USB Debugging now before it's too late. You've got to get into your bootloader/recovery and you are still locked with no access to ADB. There is a great driver install/ diagnostic tool in NRT to help you confirm all drivers are there and working. Sounds like you are ready to unlock/wipe in an effort to recover your phone. I think you can recover from this, but you'll probably lose your userdata.
I have the phone up and running right now. I have already went into developer options and checked OEM unlock and have debugging enabled.
When I go into NRT and go to unlock, it connects etc but when it comes to the point of power off device and boot into bootloader the screen is blank. My PC only recognizes the phone as an Android Interface after this and then I have to wait until the phone completely dies and a recharge to power up the phone.
I would try NRT again right now but I'm scared I will be without my phone all day tomorrow.
Damned if I Do, Damned if I don't.

When the phone is not responsive and you have been discharging it, have you tried holding the power button down for at least 2 minutes? In many cases this forces the phone to restart, but it takes a long time. That may shorten the wait between getting the phone back up.
Did you only start using NRT after the problem, or it was working fine beforehand in bootloader mode (fastboot). There is a separate driver for fastboot, I'm trying to see if that was working before. Since you are trying to unlock, it sounds as if you are past trying to save any data on the phone. NRT uses both ADB and fastboot, but you may have better luck using the command line from your PC. In my previous post I linked to Google's ADB/Fastboot binaries. Instructions are pretty basic. If you can get that setup you can try communicating with the device from the command line. Even if the is screen off, try sending fastboot devices.
Tried everything, gave up bought a used 64gb Nexus 6p.
Last time fiddling with the phone Everytime I touched the power button the red LED blinked.
I'm thinking either the motherboard or the battery.
