[Motorola Droid RAZR] neffje:
Before I explain my problem, let me first say that I am a novice when it comes to modifying phones. Shortly after buying my Razr, I knew that I wanted to root my phone, but I didn't know how. I found a program (that I can't recall now) rooted it, and had no problems. My problem came when I wanted to accept the OTA upgrade. I tried using Voodoo to keep my root while I accepted the OTA update, but that's where things when wrong. I don't know everything that went wrong because it seemed like nothing that I was doing was having any effect. It was having an effect, but not the effect that I wanted. After some uneducated decisions on my part, I found my Razr stuck in a bootloop. After trying to "fix" things, I gave up on it, but I decided to hold onto the phone. I replaced it with an HTC Rezound and moved on. I chose the Rezound only because it wouldn't take long to get it and it was affordable.

Last week, I decided that using the Rezound (it's definitely not all bad) has made me want to revive the Razr. I ordered BlackHat's adapter and used MattLGroff's utility (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2192467) to wipe my phone and flash JB.

This worked, with two exceptions. First, the phone still wouldn't charge. I came across a forum post that talked about successfully charging a phone in the car when it wouldn't charge inside with a computer or wall outlet. I was skeptical, but it worked. After charging the phone in the car, I can now charge it inside with a computer or wall outlet.

The second problem remains, and I am wondering if something that I did to soft-brick the phone caused a hardware problem. That seems unlikely, but I am new to this, so anything's possible as far as I'm concerned. In the attached picture, you can see that the bottom third of the screen shows up almost like static on a TV, but it's broken down into a grid. Also, the right half of the screen shifts up almost the height of the screen. Both of these problems come and go, but the "static" at the bottom of the screen comes much more often. I have to navigate through folders and menus before the shifting problem happens. Regardless, if I am at the home screen, for example, and I shift right or left (or navigate anywhere for that matter), the screen will be clean with no errors for a moment. After a second or so, the glitches usually show up.

I almost forgot about the last issue. When I wake the screen, it's quick and responsive; however, when I turn off the screen (by tapping on the power button), there is a lot of lag in the animation. Normally it would be a quick and smooth transition to the thin, horizontal line, and then it would quickly disappear. Now I can watch as it slowly blurs and stretches. It works, but it lags. This happens every time I turn off the screen.

Does anyone know what could cause this? Am I beyond repair? After typing this out, I doubt that it's a hardware problem, mainly because the static and shifting are not constant. But again, I'm totally new to this.

If anyone has any suggestions that involve utilities, then it would be ideal if I can use Linux. I have access to a Windows computer, but not at home.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer some insight.
