[Motorola Droid 4] myfishbear:
let it drain to 0 (should take 4 days on 100) and recharge with a factory cable... this will simulate a battery pull... then you should be able to get into fastboot. next time flash jb from here http://sbf.droid-developers.org/cdma_maserati/list.php

and use rsd to flash it
[Motorola Droid 4] andrep182:
Bummer, there's no way to just pull the battery huh? really glad this isn't my main phone. Do you by any chance know what went wrong during the process? I'll let it drain and hope for the best then. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 4] kanchomaster:
I did the same thing the other day, phone is totally unresponsive to charging or usb. I do manage to get a green led for a bit though but not for long. I would like to know more about this factory data cable
[Motorola Droid 4] 216Monster:
I used the Droid 4 Script/Tool in the Dev section on my brothers Droid 4 and it worked just fine.

I personally wouldn't drain your battery to zero, I would just plug it on charge for a full hours, then hold "up+down+power" and if it should boot into an options menu, reboot system .

If you use the RSD lite method, make sure to boot into motorola recovery and perform a factory data reset after flashing the sbf file.

I just went through all of this to fix my brothers D4 after he updated via OTA.
[Motorola Droid 4] andrep182:
I did plug it on charge overnight, tried hold up down power just like you said this morning, and the screen does not turn on at all, not even recovery... so I don't think I can do the RSD lite method right now.... the draining battery method seems to be the best method to try now.

Basically just short pin 1 and 4 huh? simple enough. Let's hope this can my problem
[Motorola Droid 4] andrep182:
OMG what have I done .... I am finally at ease that I figured out my problem. instead of using droid 4 utility, I got it mixed up with razr utility (I have both devices). No wonder my droid 4 crapped out lol. I'll wait for the battery drain and hope for the best
[Motorola Droid 4] kanchomaster:
i just received the team black hat adapter for my droid 4 today, but when i plug it into the computer i still get nothing, has anyone else had success with this on theyre droid 4?
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
the tbh adapter works fine, have you checked windows device manager, to see if driver is correct

some device manager screenshots under rsd lite in my list

sd_shadow's [Collection] of Links for Droid 4
[Motorola Droid 4] kanchomaster:
i do have the latest drivers installed, i made sure of that when i was using the RAZR utility last week to re flash it. the problem is the phone died on me in the process of that. it is unresponsive to factory resets and wall charging. total black screen, the only thing i notice is plugging it in through usb i get the green led light, doesnt last all day though...i know the adapter works cuz i tested it on my droid 2 without the battery in....do i need to somehow remove the battery out of my droid 4 for this to work and if so is it not overly complicated to do so?
[Motorola Droid 4] andrep182:
+1, I am in exactly the same situation with you, I hope someone can shine us some light. I checked one place that do jtag unbrick service but he said he can't find support for our phone
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
adapter by-passes the battery

if the tbh adapter does not boot phone up, phone is likely bard bricked

you could try cafefully removing battery, and charging with an external charger

which razr utility DROID_RAZR_Utility_Jellybean_XT912_WinMacLin.zip? or DROID_4_Utility_Jellybean_XT894_WinMacLin.zip

the XT912
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
there's a good chance phone is permanently bricked, don't flash firmware made for on device on to another

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

did you just download wrong file or did someone recommend doing that? if so. post link to thread, please
[Motorola Droid 4] kanchomaster:
damnit......well is there any tutorials you can point me to that will show me how to remove the battery

[Motorola Droid 4] kanchomaster:
no its my stupidity i didnt realize there were 2 different ones
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
did you check windows device manager, to see if window is finding phone?
[Motorola Droid 4] kanchomaster:
computer acts as if nothin is plugged in
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
not good

do you have a T5 Torx screwdriver, to remove the battery?

once the battery is out retry the tbh adapter

if the does not help, you may want to just sell the phone on ebay as broken/ for spare parts

or buy a D4 with a cracked screen and swap motherboards
[Motorola Droid 4] andrep182:
Hey SD_shadow, thanks for helping out but could you please help me to make sense of things? When I did the bad flashing, my battery was 100%. After that, even with a good amount of charge, my phone was unable to turn on. By now, it's true that my battery is probably 0% or close. If I attempt to remove the battery, charge it with the wall charger, wouldn't it just bring me back to where I was 3 days ago where my battery was in the high 90s and my phone isn't turning on? Is there any specific reason that make you believe that by doing this, I should be able to get into fastboot? thanks again man!
[Motorola Droid 4] dbreezy187:
This is just my thoughts on it... The battery may be providing some power to volatile components... Discharging these components by removing the battery may allow it to enter fast boot ... I would try the factory cable while the battery is removed... Use caution ... Be careful ... Good luck...
[Motorola Droid 4] andrep182:
Okay that make sense. I have made one cable and will try this tonight, thanks
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
that is what I'm hoping, is going on

---------- Post added at 09:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------

and I though I suggest that step, but don't see it
[Motorola Droid 4] andrep182:
I'm torn to say that I think my droid 4 is dead for good ... removed battery and connect factory cable on my droid 4 while holding volume up + down power nothing comes up. To double check, did the same thing on my droid 2 with battery removed and fastboot came up, which means my factory cable is good. Anyone else has anything in mind that can give me hope? lol
[Motorola Droid 4] dbreezy187:
I would call moto see if the one year warranty is still active... If it is tell them it won't turn on... Just say you attempted to install the ota and it never turned back on or something they will send you a shipping label mail it in and they will fix it or send it back to you telling you why they feel the warranty is void usually takes 9 days to ship fix and ship I have done this a few time with broken moto devices bought off ebay that I was clueless on how to fix ... Or try Verizon for a clnd but that's a little risky as they send you a phone you send yours in and in the event they feel its user damage they can bill you up to 500$.. I would give moto a shot worst case you lost 2 weeks best case you lost 2 weeks but have a fixed phone... Good luck
[Motorola Droid 4] andrep182:
Thanks for the advise but yeah, I think I'm just gonna end up selling this for parts since I suck at manipulating customer service over the phone lol
[Motorola Droid 4] mstrpeter:
For the record I had the EXACT same occurance as the OP...

based off the info in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2205576

I ran the xt912 utility, thinking that the exploit would be the same (should have stopped and thought when I went to flash the factory jb release) and that i'd have to be more specific when I selected my ROM.

from the outcome of this thread I guess I was wrong... was rooting this phone for a coworker... never bricked anything before (eris, x(4 different ones), d1, d2, d3, g nex, kindle fire... it was bound to happen eventually.

hi ho hi ho, its off to ebay to find a d4 with a cracked screen I go
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
yes the exploit is the same, you don't flash firmware just to root.

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 AM ----------

and that thread has a link to the razr blade root, not the razr X912 utility
[Motorola Droid 4] mstrpeter:
Yup I know better, I had already downloaded the utility, was just trying to see if I had downloaded the right one, should have just redownloaded it... I tried to reflash the factory rom just to make sure everything thing worked smoothly, would have if I hadn't tried doing the extra step that I didn't need to do.

at least I learned from my mistakes :shrug:

and we're sure there's no way to bring it back to life?
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
If there is no sign of life, I can't think of anything.
[Motorola Droid 4] rruleford:
Try replacing the battery. It not to difficult.
[Motorola Droid 4] sd_shadow:
if you read the posts from those who have flashed the Razr XT912 firmware on the Droid 4 XT894.

Charged battery or TBH factory cable had no effect.
[Motorola Droid 4] PS4AndroidHacker:
The battery in the Droid 4 is designed for it not to be removed but if you have a T8 or T7 torx screwdriver you can just unscrew the battery screw out a little bit and it will power off the phone. Screw it back in and charge it up,then try running a linux live cd and try the mod in Linux. Linux works much much better than Windows. If you're getting a green light you should still be able to boot into AP Fastboot mode. Try just holding the volume down plus the power button to boot into it. Linux will recognize the device instantly unlike Windows. Good luck and keep us informed.

[Microsoft Surface] richlum:
Hi all,

I created a recovery USB on my Surface Pro from within windows.

It didn't give any errors.

When I try to boot into the recovery USB I get this error.

I tried another USB stick (both of them were 16GB) and get the same error when trying to boot into it.

Any ideas on what I should do to fix this?

Is there a problem with my recovery partition on the Surface Pro?

Should I try to run the recovery from the SSD?

Thanks,

Rich
[Microsoft Surface] richlum:
Just as an update in case anyone else is having this problem.

The solution to this problem was to remove the microSD card when booting from the recovery USB. Both previously created USB recoveries work fine now.
[Microsoft Surface] Willy318is:
Does this by any chance means that"We can use the MicroSD as a Boot device? I suppose that since the BIOS is redirecting the boot sequence to the MicroSD, that this means it can be used to Boot the surface.

If this proved to work, then I just don't have enough words to represent my happiness.

Imagine that you can create a recovery MicroSD - or Put Live Ubuntu Image that you can use to get access to your SSD contents in case of Blown up OS - and toss it around in an Full size SD Adapter to save it in a Memory card wallet or something, and use it whenever you need, That would be awesome.

Can you please look into it?
[Microsoft Surface] richlum:
When you create the recovery drive it gives you the option of selecting the usb or micro sd, so I guess it would work.

USB is much cheaper though. I bought one of the metal hp ones that is the same size as the usb slot and about 10mm long.

I keep it in my case and it won't crack like an sd card might.

There are a few sites that say you can boot into ubuntu from either usb or micro sd.

I don't want to erase my 64gb sd to test it though...
[Microsoft Surface] Willy318is:
Thanks for the info, I'm thrilled to know this:) Many awesome scenarios are spinning my head now.
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
Being able to boot from an SD is not a rare feature. My 5 year old dell inspiron is very happy to boot from SD, or it was until the card reader died.

In general you can treat a bootable SD identically to a bootable USB. Will work in the same way usually.

Its quite logical to assume that SD was higher up the boot order than USB in this case.
[Microsoft Surface] Willy318is:
Well, That's funny to know, My Sony Vaio SVZ (2013) i7 Quad-core/256GB Raid-0 SSD/4G can't boot off niether the Sony Memory Stick, nor the SD card. So its a matter of a BIOS support I hear you sayin'

I owned top of the line laptops since laptops introduction, but non supported that feature, which I find really useful. Think, Recovery/Ubuntu/Live editions of XP/Vista/7, Live Antivirus ISOs, Live Network ISOs, and list goes on and on. Neat to have I must say!
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
Tried with linux mint this morning, all 3 netbooks in the house were fine to boot from SD.

Did have to change bios boot order on all 3 though (mass storage was at bottom)

The way i done it and i think the most simple way: Download nexus 4 wugfresh toolkit on ur pc and it should be very simple for you as it gives u clear and easy options, 1st restore to stock from toolkit (it will download the stock rom or download it direct from google) and it will do everything for you just follow the instructions you will be able to figure it out and after its back to stock click on oem lock on toolkit and it will lock your bootloader after that your done and readybto send back to google

Google play books

google play magazine

Google Play music

Google play services

[Galaxy S III General] ziemboy:
Well, google now isn't really that useful outside US so turning it off is very good option for people who don't use it at all.

I think that the best solution for short battery life is to buy a second spare battery and a charger along with it, in the end you shouldn't expect long time with a display and cpu like those in ours i9300.

Sorry, I meant GOOGLE NOW.

[LG Optimus G (International)] Snytbaggen:
This morning I heard a loud pop coming from my phone that was lying on my bedside table, and when I flipped it around it the screen was all cracked. XDA doesn't allow me to link to the picture, but remove just remove the space: i.imgur.c om/DUCdbofh.jpg

Maybe someone else could re-post the image in another post? There was also some "fizzling" sounds for a few minutes afterwards as the glass cracked a bit more. It looks like there was some kind of tension in it that finally made it give away, since I haven't dropped it. It was also in the shadow when it happened, so it shouldn't be from a temperature increase from the sun. Has anyone else experienced this, and how should I contact LG about this?
[LG Optimus G (International)] a1tenshi:
Mine cracked due to a drop. Haven't found a single repair shop who can repair / replace. Only Futuretel Service centre in Ontario has parts to repair, must contact your local retailer (Bell. Telus, Rogers) to get the service.

I tried ebay, ali baba, and amazon, but no luck with finding the right part (e971 back housing).

Seeing that yours spontaneously cracked, you should be able to argue it for warranty coverage.

I have taken perfect care of my phone since i got it a week ago and today it did the exact same thing, "fizziling and all", except it was the front side.
[LG Optimus G (International)] smrots:
To all of you wisecracks dismissing spontaneous cracks...

It looks like glass can crack without impact:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spontaneous_glass_breakage

And it looks like there's probably a manufacturing defect by LG that Google and LG are quietly trying to sweep under the rug.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Vinfer:
Impressive. It could also be caused by thermal expansion of the battery with the heat. Whatever it is, it would be interesting to know if there are other similar cases.
[LG Optimus G (International)] indysam221b:
There are indeed many such cases. In most cases, people haven't been able to claim warranty. Another common thing I noticed in such cases, is that, they have happened in countries like Canada, Denmark, Sweden. It could be a case of the glass not withstanding the sudden temperature changes when it moves indoor and outdoor.

This is the only thing that is stopping me from buying this one or the Nexus 4. :( Absolutely love it otherwise.
