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!
SORRY
I just noticed that for some reason I got out of the Droid Razr M forum. You are free to respond if you like but I have posted this thread in the right form now.
Sorry again

Hello, any advice/suggestions would be appreciated!
After doing the update process (Root v2) I went back into TiBu and started freezing the bloat, and I kinda got carried away (I didn't even know what everything I froze was... stupid! To any other dummies out there: just because it has motorola in the name, don't assume it's bloat, apparently).
Then I left TiBu and turned off my phone. Upon reboot, it brought up the red moto dual core thing, and then it did the first 2-3 seconds of the red moto dual core with red wavy animations around the circle, but then suddenly stopped and the red light began flashing.
Holding volume up and volume down on subsequent reboots brought up different messages about starting some kind of protocol and fast boot, respectively, but after five minutes I figured that they were just frozen too.
So I f'ed it up. Right now I'm just charging my phone to do the "[Guide] Flash SBF to Atrix" directions. But INSTEAD, is there any way I can just defrost what was frozen in tibu without going through all that? Not a huge deal, but I'd rather not do the SBF Flash (looked lengthy to a noob like me) AND the update process again.
Thanks!
Ah, found this link that explains how to use super one click to "recover from a soft brick caused by freezing needed apps or services."
I need to "run shell root from superoneclick in Early USB Enumeration." I have a mac, so I downloaded the drivers and super one click onto a ****ty, borrowed netbook. The problem is I don't know how to run it in early usb enumeration, and even running s.o.c. seems problematic because my atrix starts booting up when connecting to the ****ty netbook, and gets itself nice and soft bricked/frozen/stuck.
I really don't want to keep guessing and doing battery pulls - I fear eventually my Atrix will get tired of this mistreatment and REALLY brick itself for good... if anyone has any info, please help!
So, this is a two-part question. First time asking a question here, so if I'm forgetting anything, lemme know.
Got a Droid X2 in November. Pretty awesome phone, all things considered. I did, however, notice a small bug: every rare once in a while when waking my phone, the phone would wake up without turning the screen on. I could still interact with the phone normally (unlocking the phone, pressing keyboard buttons with the vibration feedback, etc.), but I wouldn't be able to see anything.
I hazarded that maybe the ROM that I was already planning on installing would fix this. Maybe the horrible and evil Verizon bloatware was doing something silly with the software side of the phone. I went ahead and rooted the phone.
Weeelll, it didn't fix it. It still fails to wake up the screen sometimes, and now it's been doing it more frequently. Sometimes, it will even show a snow-crash-filled screen. I installed the 2.3.4 SBF and took it back to Verizon, and was able to show them the bug fairly quickly. They said that I could use the warranty to get it replaced. The thing that made me pause was that the man there told me that if I sent it back and they found out I rooted it, they'd charge me the full 500$ for a new one.
My questions:
1. Does anyone else have this bug, and is there a way to fix it? I poked around the forums, and haven't seen anything like this.
2. Would flashing an SBF erase any signs of rooting the device? If I did trade in the phone in that condition, would I get hit with that 500$ charge? How would Verizon tell if a phone's ever been rooted?
-Whistle
Remove your SD card and sbf they will not know. They can not tell if you sbf it maybe a factory reset would not hurt as well. Do not put any rooted apps on it. Why did he say that did you have a custom rom or rooted apps on it at the time?
SBF brings you to out of box state...nothing will show..
After you SBF be sure to do a system recovery and wipe data and cache...
There are great tutorials in the General section here...
To enter normal recovery, power off your x2, plug your phone in to a wall charger then hit volume down and power button until you see FASTBOOT... then use volume down until Android Recovery...then hit,, volume Up...then hit both volume up and down, you will see a triangle with an exclamation point, Again hit both volume up and down at the same time and it will bring you into recovery. From there you can wipe data and cache....
Note: after SBF it is a good idea to do this to eliminate anything left astray....
Good luck
PS.it takes about twenty minutes to complete.

Hello everyone, this is my first post here so I want to thank everyone in advance for the help. I've never needed to post here because my questions were always answered by someone else's post. But this time I'm in a whole different boat.
Long story short. Found a Droid razr on Craigslist. Owner mentioned it would power up but stay locked on boot. He sold it cheap to me. I figured I could easily do a hard reset and I would be good. Nope. Not the case.
I attempted a hard reset, razrutility, rdslite and nothing has worked. When flashed using rsdlite, it runs its course and then notifies the phone to reboot and low and behold, the phone still gets stuck on boot where it says "Droid". I need help!!!!

Anyone?
You might want to try the two different versions of DroidRAZRUtility. IIRC, 1.6 is for GB bootloaders and 1.7 is for ICS leak bootloaders. Perhaps your phone was upgraded to a leak (unsuccessfully), is now stuck halfway through the ICS update, and needs to be wiped before you can do the real update and get it running.
I found the guide in my signature very useful.
I have a little bit different story with the same problem. I was testing XT912 boards and LCD/Digitizer assemblies. This board was the one I knew to be working. I tested a 3 or 4 LCD/Dig. assemblies without any problem. I then rebuilt the phone entirely, and powered it on. It starts to go through the power up cycle but stops on "Droid". I did a recovery wipe and factory reset and it still does the same thing. My PC acknowledges the phone is connected, but nothing else can be found connected on the PC; Moto DM, Motocast, not even my com ports. I have a feeling I inadvertingly shorted the board, but this is strange...any ideas?
Hello all, My daughter bought a razr off of Ebay and made the mistake of purchasing from a seller that does not accept returns. Anyway when she first got it the screen would rotate constantly and it kept saying the HDMI port was being used. I did some reading and found out you actually could do a reboot on the droid (Sorry cant remember what its officially called) by holding the volume up down etc. buttons. That fixed the other two issues but now the keyboard does not function properly, sometimes when you press a letter it types that letter several times or the phone freezes up. I told her to try and download another keyboard and that doesnt work because if she trys to go to the market she gets a message an update is needed and it loops.
I have rooted a few phones no expert by any means, but if someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it.

Have you tried factory resetting it? Do you know if it has anything custom installed?

At that point i would just reflash the .SBF file with the batman utility 1.8
Yup, another NEWB having trouble looking for help. Have a rooted ATRIX 4g, (ADB/Fastroot method), but am away from home, so do not have access to the PC with drivers, ADB, etc. on it. I am running stock ROM, took the last OTA update and retained Root using Rootkeeper. I did not unlock the bootloader. Today phone started soft-boot like symptoms after I downloaded an app (Mayo Clinic PAtient App) partially installed it - app installed, but was waiting on info to login, when phone locked and I pulled battery. At this point, phone will not boot. It goes through Motorola Dual Core to Rethink possible, but then times out and reboots before loading OS. I have downloaded Motorola Drivers, I can bring up RSD, I can get to Fastboot menus. Any and all help appreciated!
Tried Fastboot Andriod Recovery, got white Triangle with yellow exclamation point. Somebody please tell me I wont have to do a factory reset. :crying: At least I have my usb battery charger with me, charging up a battery just in case.
Worst timing ever - all the relatives have my cell phone number for updates on my Wife, we are at Mayo Rochester all week.
Another odd thing - can't get the phone into safe mode.
Damn I am stubborn. After repeated efforts - and we're talking about 90 minutes here, I found by holding down the up/down vol buttons at the same time and holding them all the way through the painfully slow Rethink possible, past the long vibrate, all the way to home screen, I could get into safe mode. First time the phone still rebooted. Second time could not get past lock screens, third time I got in and uninstalled last couple programs I installed and the phone boots normally again. Hope this helps others.
