Just read up on them, I'm not sure if it'll work for me. Team Black Hat's twitter says it just bypasses the phone battery and allows it to be powered from USB. Sounds like it would mostly be useful for phones whose battery died during the flash. I might try it anyway, but my phone had 100% battery when I tried to reboot it.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezknives:
Use it to flash the stock firmware... It should recognize the battery after that

I tore apart a mini-to-micro adapter and wired up pin 4 to pin 1 as this tutorial shows.

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-labs/146492-how-why-make-your-own-motorola-factory-cable.html

Verified +5V on both pin 1 and 4.

Nothing.

I think to get into AP Fastboot or even for the bootloader to launch, it probably requires an unbroken chain of trust and my downgraded TZ partition breaks the chain so it doesn't even try to start the bootloader. Just guessing though.

I've been searching around... Can't really find much to assist with this... You may be able to get some help from the higher up's if you message them...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Thanks for searching. I'll probably end up looking for a phone with a smashed screen on ebay and swap the motherboard. Maybe I could get lucky and find one that's never been updated, though I doubt that.

Can't help but wonder if I'd flashed every single partition involved in the chain of trust if that would have worked to downgrade. Dangerous thinking. I'd best stop thinking about it or I'll end up with another bricked phone.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
After months of my phone being bricked, I decided to plug it into USB and the green light came on and it shows signs of life. No picture on the display, but it shows up as USB Input Device, shows as "HID-compliant" in device manager. Hardware ID is VID_05C6, PID_F006. All I could find is the VID belongs to Qualcomm. Any ideas?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aviwdoowks:
Yea there is a fix , just recently too...

GOOGLE or should I say bin* is your friend (yes better not so commercial $$).
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Sorry, my Google-fu is not as good as yours. Searching for that VID and PID only comes up with an XDA thread on an HTC Unbricking Project in the Evo 4G LTE section. Google has zero hits linking either VID or PID with "RAZR M". Everything I've read about unbricking requires the phone to be able to get into Fastboot AP.

Tried Bing too, but my Bing-fu is worse than my Google-fu.

My problem is similar, but not exactly the same. I don't get "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008", just "HID compliant device", but I know it's Qualcomm just from the VID.

At bottom of the thread is just a link to a JTAG unbricking service for $50. Is that the solution you're referring to?

If that's the only solution, I'll try a motherboard swap first. It's half the price.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aviwdoowks:
I thought that was the same....

Not up on the subject. I know cellzealot is, on that thread.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cellzealot:
The problem is that we don't have the signed images for the low level boot ram downloader for these models available to us.

I helped someone fix their hard bricked Moto X but we were only able to do that because the boot loader repair kits for that chip set were included in some of the leaked engineering firmware builds for those devices. Those kits have the bin and hex files and a .bat script that writes the images to the raw QC flash device that allows it to be enumerated as an Android fastboot device and flashed normally with signed firmware images.

Unless we get those repair kits or find all of those components in the wild, we can't recover these phones from a hard brick.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
FIXED! But not in a "good way" that's helpful for the community.

I bought one with a cracked screen on eBay and swapped my screen onto it. The screens are still quite expensive for these phones (~$90) so cracked screen versions go pretty cheap. Paid $26 shipped for mine which is on the high-end, most went for ~$20 shipped but I'd miss the auctions for one reason or another. This one also was in nicer shape than mine which was worth the extra $6 to me. Although I later came to find out it takes a good deal of heat and force to get the screen out of the metal bezel since the rubber glue adhesive Motorola uses is DAMN STRONG, not like the 2-sided tape from my iPhone fixing days. Didn't want to risk cracking my good screen trying to swap it into the nicer bezel so I just swapped the entire screen/bezel assembly. Super easy.

Worst part, 98.18.78. BOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! :(

Oh well, nothing gained, and only $26 lost.

Any reason at all to keep it on 78 and not upgrade to 94?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewraith420:
just curious if anyone has played with qpst while in qhusb (?) mode i know the qpst software has the ability to flash to devices in this form of download mode if someone were able to recover a device with it then the next thing on my mind would be can we downgrade with it to a version that could be bootloader unlocked. i'd try it myself but its very risky to try on a device thats perfectly good. but perhaps... one with a broke screen or otherwise scrap would be perfect to mess around with
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
QPST didn't seem to notice the existence of my phone when it shows up as a "Qualcomm USB Input Device".

Part of it could be it won't stay on for very long, not even using the USB cable I bought that's supposed to be a Motorola factory cable.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aviwdoowks:
Need the virtual serial port in that link!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
I do have a virtual serial port installed, but it's not going to matter if the phone won't stay connected. It's connecting/disconnecting over and over.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aviwdoowks:
Ok so you did the tedious setup.

Don't know then...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thewraith420:
So in your device manager the phone shows up and has a working driver?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
No, it shows up with a description of "Qualcomm USB Input Device" and it installs a generic "HID Input Device" driver.

I did manage to get it to stay on by disconnecting the battery. Then the USB port has enough juice to keep it going, I guess. However, I tried using a HW Virtual Serial Port and that does install a COM port, but doesn't connect to anything. I also tried using the Qualcomm drivers that worked for people who get a "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" device, but Windows says I already have the best driver for my device. I tried to force a Qualcomm HS-USB Modem and Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics port drivers to load by editing the .inf files, but both resulted in a Code 10 with yellow exclamation saying the device couldn't start.

I couldn't find too much useful info on proper device drivers for device ID 05c6:f006. I did find the same thing happens to hard-bricked Motorola Atrix HD (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2179378), but that's not particularly helpful.

Hmm, well there's one other way I've seen a phone restored from a similar situation. On the HTC evo 3d there is a Linux tool for it but it would obviously need to be modified to write XT907 firmware and even then it's a crapshoot. The good news is under Linux there's no driver issue

---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 PM ----------

By the way that's one way they found to unlock their bootloader. Brick downgrade unlock
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HamBone625:
Similar issue got a xt907 from a coworker who ota'd to 4.4 afterwards he said it got all wonky on him and now all it will do is lite up the green led when plugged in nothing else... Rather frustrated especially sense he wasn't rooted or anything I'm lost as to what happened
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Hard brick from an OTA sounds very unusual. Did you try holding vol+, vol-, then press and hold power for 1-second to see if you can get into the bootloader menu?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HamBone625:
Ive tried a whole slue of button comos the only thing it does is if i hold them down for 30 seconds or so the led goes out then when i release it comes back on. All while plugged in of course
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
That does sound a lot like the symptoms of a hard brick, but I can't imagine something like that happening unless maybe the battery died during the update or he interrupted it somehow at precisely the wrong time.

You might try a Motorola flashing cable which has an extra pin to power the phone via USB, just in case it's a dead battery.

If that doesn't fix it, JTAG is the only way to fix it, although I found it only cost half as much to buy a broken screen phone and swap the motherboard (and actually made $30 in profits selling all the parts from the broken screen phone I didn't need).
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HamBone625:

Like wise if money wasn't an issue I'd be much more for the idea of the busted screen phone idea especially if I could get one with an unlocked bootloader(: such a shame the phone is like new aside from now shattered camera glass oops. Forgot how to disassemble the phone...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
LOL, I think previous owner of my white RAZR M tried to open it that way too. Got it with shattered camera glass and tool marks around that hole on the back.

Pop off the bottom plastic, 2 or 3 screws under there, and Motorola emblem (double-sided taped), there's 2 screws under there, then the 6 on the sides. Should come right apart then.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HamBone625:
Oh believe me after I shattered the glass I watched a video to refresh my memory. You have any of your parts left I'd much rather have a white razr m or even a black and white...?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GnatGoSplat:
Nope, sorry, it was a black one I bricked and managed to sell every part except the motherboard. I even managed to separate the unbroken outer glass from the cracked display and sold that too.

I got a new camera lens for $8.95 on eBay, turned out to be aftermarket plastic, but looks decent enough. Although for $3 more, I could have gotten the whole back.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Motorol...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item3a91e3599e

You could use that if you want to make a white one.

I actually preferred a black one and just got the white one because it was BL unlocked, but the white is growing on me. Only thing I'm not happy about is the scratches on the screen that the seller didn't mention. I mistakenly assumed "had a screen protector from day 1" meant no scratches.

Hello!

Well, after a month of not having wi-fi, I've FINALLY gotten it to work!!! This was my first road down rooting my phone, so I'm pretty sure I've made almost every mistake you can make doing it! I have HBOOT 1.58, S-ON (yes, I tried the wire trick...bricked my phone, panicked, brought it back to life...no, I really don't want to do it again) :silly:

So, after downloading Negalite, which I LOVE, it worked but I had no wi-fi. (I tried several other ROMS, but they all get stuck on the opening screen for some reason). So this is what I did. I installed Negalite r-115 and then installed Buttered Toast 17.3. YEA!! :victory:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williamyi:
As you have thought about it, you won't be able to downgrade back to MJ1 due to the bootloader issue. Instead of downgrade, why don't you upgrade to MJ7? So far there is no issue with this firmware and many has reported that the modem is pretty good as well. However since you are in MJ4, I'm afraid you might not be able to root your Note 3 without tripping the bootloader. If root is not important, then download the MJ7 firmware and flash via PC Odin and you are good to go
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1sagain:
Hey Just a quick question then. from my understanding. flashing Firmware's will not trip Knox via Odin.

(I also do not see the full negatives of tripping knox. We can avoid it yes. and it hurts warranty. does it physically damage your device?)

Thank you
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] williamyi:
So far I have not seen any reported case that flashing firmware via PC Odin will trip knox and it is quite a safe process to carry out. But it is always safe to keep a copy of your region latest firmware just in case you need to send it back for warranty.

Tripping knox or root do not cause any harm or damage to your device. Is only if you try to do something out of the norm or didn't follow the instruction posted by developer in flashing some stuff that might brick your device. So far in my country there is one reported case that the user successfully claim warranty for a faulty USB port with a rooted and knox tripped 0x1 Note 3. It's very much depends on the SC.

But if you really want root, then just ignore the Note 3 and get a good protection for your Note 3 so that it could reduce the likelihood to visit SC. If root is not important, flashing MJ7 via odin is pretty good.

Just a warning, long story.

So a few days ago I added a second router to my house for extended wifi. Now there were alot of conflicts with it, and it caused this "obtaining IP address" loop. I disabled the router and it stopped. Except it didnt...

The next day, my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 started to have the loop...but with ANY wifi. Home wifi, school wifi, even my friends wifi!

I factory reset and put 4.3.1 on it.

Today, my Kindle Fire (original kindle, custom 4.3.1 rom) is starting to do the same thing.

Obtaining IP address, authenticating, saved. Rinse repeat.

I tried to use the Wifi fixer app but it didnt work.

I tried deleting the DHCP files, and I also tried fixing the permissions on it.

Nothing worked.
