Motorola Droid :: Possibly First EVER Bricked Droid

Mar 12, 2010

milestone bought in china (where there is no official release) hence it's a grey import phone was flashed (w/out my knowledge) with a custom chinese language rom, hence im assuming it was rooted i manually flashed with rds lite back to an official hong kong moto rom (2.0.1) so i could get english language back at this point still wasnt aware the phone had been rooted so did a straight flash without un-rooting and it worked fine a few days in i changed sim cards in my phone and things started acting odd. phone froze a little but came back on put in pocket and when i pulled it out again it wouldnt boot up - only backlight would light - no splashscreen, no moto logo, no nothing did batt pulls, recharges and still nothing - the screen wont even blink (cept backlight).i'm assuming that this may have something to do with the fact that i didnt unroot the phone before i put the stock rom back on the phone? is there anywhere back from this situation? i tried to connect adb to my phone to try to get into recovery but adb cant see the device...yet rds lite can when i boot with power+dpad up. so the phone is still in there somewhere! ive installed all the moto drivers but of course, am not sure my phone is set to debug mode as i cant access the system perhaps that why i cant see it.

needless to say, i have no sprecovery or anything installed as i hadnt realised the phone was rooted earlier (my stupid oversight....) sigh the only other person that displayed similar problems i found is on this thread - cept he eventually could access adb as he knew what he was doing previous to installing a stock rom over a custom one Only seeing black screen; your help is needed! - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum,before any of you tell me to take it back to verizon...i cant, as its not from verizon and there is no refund as its a grey import. the repair shop here in SH cant work out a way to fix it either....my last hope is here so pls let me know what i can do!

HTC Incredible :: Possibly Bricked From Accidental Format

Sep 16, 2010

I managed to reformat my internal storage on my phone (to FAT) and now I can't boot the phone. It just bootloops. If i boot into recovery and try to wipe i get the error E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (File Exists) Error mounting /data/! Now, i tried to reformat data from adb shell by doing:

adb shell
su

Motorola Droid :: Droid Bricked Itself / Un-Brick?

Jan 17, 2010

I've been searching for about two hours, and not found the answer I'm looking for(Probably missed it in my frustration).Today my Droid decided to reboot itself..and went directly to the Bootloader.I've tried everything..Factory reset(Which seems to fail)..redoing the 2.0.1 update(Which says there is an error in the .zip every time)..formatting the SD card.Best I get is once in a while it will boot up like a spanking new Droid-Exexpt the wireless radio does not function-no way to enable the network..but wifi works. To get it to fire upo I have to Format the SD card everytime.

I know there are recovery images/2.1 images out there.. Just how to flash them into the phone? The bootloader says ready to program..Again, I most likely missed the how-to, and a lot of the links to the files needed are broken anyhow.

HTC Droid Eris :: 2.1 V2 And Gmail Possibly Hacked

Apr 7, 2010

This morning at 3 am spam was sent out of my gmail account. I am not sure if it came from my phone or my account just got hacked (my computers were turned off). I changed the Password on my account. Since I am running 2.1 and it is not an official release there is the possibility this is where it came from it was a simple email with a link in it. Just wanted to post a heads up to keep you eyes open

HTC Droid Eris :: Bricked Phone After OTA Update?

Mar 8, 2010

So if my phone becomes a paper weight after the OTA rolls out then Verizon did it on purpose right? You can't tell me they can't force the OTA to override the leaked version. I would think they would force all the phones to update to their version of the OS. Therefore, if my phone bricks after the OTA then they are just being jerks right?

HTC EVO 4G :: How Could You Possibly Brick An Evo?

Nov 30, 2010

I was just talking to someone about bricking mobile devices and I couldn't even think of how I could accidentally brick my own phone. Couldn't you always just go into recovery and wipe/reflash? Unless there was a way to stop you from getting into recovery but I don't see how.I'm not an expert and I've learned everything I know from reading here and on XDA so I could be missing something.

General :: Motorola Fire XT Bricked?

Sep 24, 2012

I got my Dad's old Motorola Fire XT530 recently. The thing is, he used the phone for around 2 weeks and then switched to a BlackBerry. He kept the phone switched off and locked up in his office bag. I fished it out yesterday and tried to switch it on, but it wouldn't even switch on. I connected it to the wall outlet and left out there for a while. The screen never turned on, but the lights on the soft keys below the screen did light up, so I assumed that it must be charging.

Anyway, after a while, I removed it from the outlet and switched it on, but it wouldn't boot up at all. Then I tried getting it into recovery and download mode, but it just wouldn't turn on at all. The device wasn't rooted, and I don't know what could have gone wrong that would make it like this.

I want to start developing for this device, seeing as there isn't even a decent ROM for this. I don't want to send it to the Motorola service centre; I have issues with them as it is.

General :: Bricked Motorola Cliq XT Prototype?

Feb 17, 2013

I just got an "Engineering Prototype" of a phone that looks like a Cliq XT.

It worked fine when I got it - as far as I can tell, it had a stock 1.5 installed - no Motoblur-Rom.The guy that owned it before didn't delete all of his personal stuff so i decided to do a factory reset. Turned out to be a bad idea

When I try to turn on the phone I can see a Motorola-Logo for about 1/10th of a second. After that the screen turns black (it doesn't turn off, the backlight is still on).Pressing the Camera-Button whil turning it on leads me to a little menu:

- Volume up -> "USB Flash Mode" (That seems to work)

- Volume down -> "Recovery Mode" (That does not seem to work since the screen goes black when I try that)

I installed the USB-Drivers provided by Motorola and tried to connect to the phone via RSDlite - nothing seems to work

I managed to root/unlock several devices and installed custom recoverys and custom roms to several of my phones. I don't know that much about the stuff that makes Android going. That means that I can click buttons if i have a red arrow pointing at them...

General :: S3 - Possibly Tried To Flash ROM Without Bootloader?

Mar 6, 2013

I rooted my S3 a few months ago based on some detailed instructions found online - no issues. The method used involved clockwork mod or some such.I was following these URL....

instructions to attempt to install liquid smooth (URL...) ROM. I had backed up everything on titanium backup and using the back up in ROM manager. In step 3.1, "flash a recovery image," I didn't think I needed to do this, as I thought it was a part of ROM manager.I proceeded onward, and after the phone finished making a back up, immediately after it started to install the new ROM, the screen went black (I assume the phone turned off).

I'm currently unable to get it to turn on at all, taking the battery out didn't do anything, and when I plug it into the comp via USB, it doesn't seem to recognize the device.I'm a broke med student on loans, and a new phone is going to hurt the bank account a lot.

Android :: Backing Up SMS Periodically (possibly Timestamped)

Dec 18, 2009

I currently use SMS Backup & Restore, but that has two drawbacks I see

-I have to manually initiate the backup
-It only stores and restores one file, so I have to overwrite and rename

I just lost my texts and only had a two day old backup. I'd love to see the same thing but that can do it with a timestamped file such as backup_2009-12-18-15-08.xml (pickable when restoring) and can run at a preset time each day or each half day.

Samsung Captivate :: Possibly Moving From Windows To Android

Jul 29, 2010

I presently have a windows 6.0 phone, an older htc fuze on at&t. it's getting long in the tooth and a little quirky so I'm looking to upgrade.I saw the captivate appear a few days ago on at&t's website and did some research on it. Although it has a few potential problems, I don't think they outweigh the pluses.What I'm really concerned about is I have quite a few Excel spreadsheets and Word docs on the fuze storage card that I would like to be able to continue to use on the captivate.Is this possible?Keeping in mind that I do not have to upgrade now, does the forum think it would be better to wait until the at&t captivates ship with 2.2 or go ahead and get a 2.1 unit now and do the android upgrade later?Or is the 2.2 release date still to iffy to wait?

Motorola Droid X :: Droid X Arriving W/ 32GB Memory / What To Copy From Old 16gb Mem Card From Droid 1...

Aug 16, 2010

I'm upgrading from my Droid 1 to the Droid X tomorrow and would like to start my use of the DX with it's new 32gb card in place of my old 16gb card from my Droid 1 but need to know if there's anything required to copy from my droid 1 16gb card to my new DX 32 gb card that would be required or helpful in the DX use.I will obviously transfer music/vids/pics but are there any essential files, apps, etc. that are needed.Or is it a good idea to use my paid MyBackupPro to copy the old Droid 1 apps/data for use in the DX larger memory card or is this not copatible to perform between the 2 devices?

Motorola Droid :: March Smart Phone Madness Finals - Motorola Droid Vs Palm Pre Plus

Apr 2, 2010

They are at the final battle. It looks like we might have a fight on our hands since the Palm Pre just got the free hot-spot options from Verizon. March Smart Phone Madness Finals: Motorola Droid vs. Palm Pre Plus

The main points that I like to enjoy is: Droid beat out the phone that beat the iPhone, and the Droid got further in the brackets than any other Android OS phone Some of the progress is due to hardware, some due to following (over the Nexus'), but a lot due to the v2.01 (and now 2.1) version of the Android OS. Also, this poll is open ALL weekend - it does not close until April 5th, so we have tons of time...but then again, so does the Palm Pre. Let's have at 'em!

Motorola Droid :: Any Way To Convince Verizon To Upgrade Droid To Droid X Early?

Aug 22, 2010

I have the original droid with 2.1 (still haven't got update) the phone has some problems like, restarting, cant update certain apps, unresponsive. i just got the phone in may 2010 an im starting to think its getting out dated. I once had it rooted to 2.2 but went back to stock for OTA 2.2 . But my question is, that do u think i can call verizon and tell them my problems, say its my 3rd droid and im getting tired of it. Since there not making the oringinal droid anymore do u think they'll let me upgrade to Droid X with little or no fee? i got the idea from another post, reading that someone had success with this trick?
