I can not get past my boot loader. I have tried erasing my cache. I was removing bloatware when i got stuck. Using a bloatware guide.

I can not keep the phone off. It will keep coming back on

Drivers say when i am in AP fast boot:

I load the Zip using the guide you have sd_shadow, but I hit start nothing happens. I show it has no device listed. Any help would be great. Thanks for all you have done so far. I might be missing something or i am a special case. haha but thanks :)

also I don't know how to charge since it wont stay off. Starting this i was at good battery. I am using Factory cable that came with device.
[Droid RAZR M General] Zombie8u2:

I used another option you suggested, :good: also on a low battery. Kinda scary lol

Won't boot to custom Rom

I have tried every custom rom tutorial I can and it won't boot (locks in boot screen).

I have 10.1 Unlocked Status 3. I have been on 15.1 but reverted back to 10.1. But like I said I am unlocked. Are there file protections that I need to address? It is driving me crazy! I have been trying to do this for a week and I want Lollypop!

Borrowing my sister's old, pink M.

Rooted it. Updated firmware to 10.1. Unlocked bootloader. Installed TWRP.

Everything was great. Then I decided I needed Philz. I flashed the zip, I think. I was pretty drunk by then.

I'm stuck at the unlocked bootloader screen. I can't get to AP fastboot. When I hold the three buttons down, the screen goes blank until I release them. It stays that way for about three seconds, then goes back to the warning screen.

Suggestions?
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
hold volume down button, press power button till it reboots, continue holding volume down till in AP fastboot mode
[Droid RAZR M General] DrunkUncas:
All three buttons. One minute, forty five seconds.

[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
If you hold all three buttons, you're doing a hard reset. Follow what SD said.

I just checked I was using outdated RSD and updated. Worked without a hitch.

BTW is there anyway to unlock bootloader on this thing? I hate this whole hassle of restoring to stock.
[Droid RAZR M General] AlishbaSehai:
Hello,

My phone Verizon XT907 was updated to the newest system version .15 (the one whose bootloader can not be unlocked except with sunshine app, I think), worked fine for two years and recently, it stopped getting past through the droid eye. I came across your tutorial and this is what I did:

Installed motorola drivers

installed RSD lite

downloaded the firmware and did md5 check (it was successful) for this file: VZW_XT907_4.4.2-KDA20.62-15.1_CFC_1FF.xml.zip

unpacked the above mentioned file and removed the getvar line using windows notepad. Saved the file.

connected the phone using ASUS mobile phone cable and it RSD detected it.

upon flashing, it failed on System.img saying that there was a problem in cable or connection (I do not remember the exact words written)

I picked up my phone to change the usb port and accidentally pressed the power button.

since then, my phone is dead. I used every key combination but it won't bot up, wont boot up into fastboot mode as well. It is just black screen.

I connected to the charger, no green light.

I connected to the PC, I can hear the sound of usb device connected on PC but RSD lite is not detecting it.

Can you help me please?
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
Guessing that it is in emergency download mode

Don't think there is a fix
[Droid RAZR M General] AlishbaSehai:
So it is a mere paperweight now?
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
Yes, unless it's just a low battery

If so a fastboot cable would allow you to get to bootloader mode
[Droid RAZR M General] AlishbaSehai:
Update: after about a month, I plugged my Razr M on charge and saw the green light blink for about one second and nothing else happening after that. What does it mean? Any possible solution to bring it back to life now?

thanks.
[Droid RAZR M General] Hnk1:
Hi there mate

Firstly many thanks for your guide. I have never worked with a Moto before and it was really helpful. I highly appreciated your time and efforts for the community.

I have a strange problem with mine and I will try to give you as much information as possible.

My moto M is stuck on boot animation (M logo) and it wouldn't go any further. Key combination helped me to go into fast boot and recovery but nothing more like tools etc in the menu.

Now I have flashed it with 3-4 different firmwares with RSD lite version 6.26 but it wouldn't help.

The first mistake I was making was trying to downgrade my bootloader (using an older firmware ) but that didn't work. It failed on boot.img

To make it clear I have 10.9B* bootloader with July 27 2014 (if I remember correctly)

Then I tried the latest version 15.1 CFF SVC and without CFF (giving commands via fast boot to clear cache user data and tombstones) 3 times using different firmwares (from different servers) but no help.

Still stuck on M LOGO.

next I thought maybe this device is Luge and not moto M and thus flashed moto Luge firmware (the only one you provided which is a previous version 10.1 I suppose) still it didn't boot it up at all. I left it all night maybe it'll take time but still nothing.

All firmwares are flashed without any problem. I only have to remove var line with notepad ++ and rest didn't need any work. (Gpt and tz.) It flashed without any errors.

One thing I have noticed when I flash firmwares is that when I finish the flash (right after system), it says reboot on RSD and takes forever and then says "please manually power your device" although it's stuck on M logo like always.

I have charged enough battery before I flash so that's not an issue.

Now I am at my wit's end what could be the reason and why won't it go further than that.

I am not sure how this problem occurred as I have locked bootloader and I got this device in its current state which is stuck on M logo and I thought it could be fixed with a simple flash. (Not idea if any hardware problem or any repairs done or anything)

The guy has quite many phones in the same condition and he isn't sure either.

Also I cleared cache and factory reset in recovery as well but that wasn't helpful too thinking maybe that's the case as it use to stuck on M immediately it flashed system and didn't use to clear cache etc (or maybe it did it but it was too quick for me to notice )

What do you suggest I do mate?

House of Moto link isn't working and I was thinking I'll flash it today manually using fast boot and see what can be done.

Many thanks to read this mate.

Current situation:

Stuck on M logo

Luge firmware installed but still stuck

15.1 CFF SVC flashed too but nothing

15.1 flashed too without CFF and SVC. Nothing

15.1 CFF not tried yet. But I will today

[Droid RAZR M General] Galaxyninja66:
Hello, So I want to use GSM on Lineage 13 and I was wondering if that means I have to use the XT905 Firmware (like the bootloader and radio) as a base instead of the (CDMA/US blocked) Verizon one. I want to be able to connect to Telstra which is a GSM carrier in australia as I am moving there soon. What do I do? Does Lineage 13 support it out of the box or do I need to mess with Radio Comm?
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
I don't think you can flash stock XT905 firmware on a XT907, but I could be wrong.

Lineage will likely include the APNs but not the other radio settings.
[Droid RAZR M General] Galaxyninja66:
Wait so could I just pop in a GSM Tesltra sim card in my XT907 and it'll run fine? GSM settings were available when I had it on stock KK (I bought it unlocked), but I figured since I downgraded to JB Maybe it didn't stay.
[Droid RAZR M General] Galaxyninja66:
I did end up trying to flash it, it worked and booted up into (a very debloated) stock JB. No reception at all besides wifi, and a couple Tesltra apps. Very little bloat.
[Droid RAZR M General] lem22:
You have to flash the correct modem for your phone. There's also a retail XT905 firmware without Telstra apps.

User RSD Lite to restore an official firmware.
[Droid RAZR M General] DiamondJohn:
My understading is that RSD is simply a GUI to fastboot, and as such, would do no different, Is this understanding incorrect?
[Droid RAZR M General] RikRong:
No, RSD lite is a full program that can be used to flash firmware if you don't like to use fastboot commands.
[Droid RAZR M General] Galaxyninja66:
completely correct, it just automatically executes a script full of fastboot commands withing a folder, so manually executing all the commands would make no difference (it would be more tedious though).

Sounds like it's in emergency download mode

You can try letting battery die and it may boot normally

Or you could try a Fastboot cable

But most likely you will need one of the following

loader.img, mmcblk0.img, or a Blankflash

Non are available to my knowledge

But I might be able to create a loader.img

[Droid RAZR M General] DragonFire1024:
Honestly I don't know how this happened I had refreshed stock, it boot it up but shortly thereafter, if I recall maybe it was when I rebooted, this mode happened.

Would the same files work from let's say the xt925? I managed to track down a post from another forum, droidrzr.com where it contained a zip file that contains several blank flashes like 8960_blankflash.bat, .py and XML. There are various other files as well.
[Droid RAZR M General] sd_shadow:
Possibly if the XT925 has the same processor

I think it's worth trying.
[Droid RAZR M General] DragonFire1024:
I'm at work for the rest of the night I'll try giving it a shot tomorrow if I have time. At this point not much to lose if it doesn't work. I looked over your thread and a couple of other posts regarding what appear to be very similar if not almost exactly the same issues and hopefully I've got enough of the right files to at least get it out of a black screen. At least if that happens I know I can fix it with RSD Lite.

I always taking note using the s pen and action memo, if cyanogenmod or aokp roms don't support s pen, do you have any alternatives or other options?

Thank you for your help.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
There are many alternatives to Samsung apps and some people can live with them. But to keep it short: yes, anything other then a TW ROM will turn the spen useless.

For the simple fact that I don't have air comands I don't use aosp roms. The battery life is also very bad on them.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nijom:
I was in CM11 for nearly 6 months. It was like using a normal smartphone, not much Note features there.

So I switched back to Touchwiz based ROM after Lollipop.

AryaMod now ?

And yes battery life is better in TW based ROM and also you have variety of Kernels to flash for saving power like Arter etc
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
Yes, pretty much the S Pen is useless with any CM/ AOSP based ROMs. You will have to use Papyrus or something like that instead of S Note, you will then have to install an app so that pop up thing might come (or might not) up when you pull out the S Pen. Awful experience anyway, as good as not having an S Pen like someone already mentioned above.

And to add further my personal findings, more or less everything is better in TouchWiz based ROMs, and no I don't give a damn about anyone saying otherwise.

What's your SoT on tw?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirobelec:
There IS a way to use the S-Pen on AOSP ROMs, but it's not free. There's a paid app called SPenCommand, and you won't find it on the Play Store because Google purged any app that is toying with SELinux. The app itself emulates the behavior if TouchWiz, as well as Air Command's visual style.

But yes, consider again that AOSP ROMs don't have the battery life of TouchWiz, and regarding the S-Pen, they're somewhat limiting.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
I don't know, because I rarely get to the point where I am left without battery.

When I was on tesla a few weeks ago, it was absolutely horrible.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Basically, yes. CM/AOSP doesn't come with Wacom drivers.

I think there are some third party options, but as for how or how well they work, I don't know.

Installing CM/AOSP turns your Note into a generic smartphone.

(I know you're not asking me, but I thought I'd jump in anyway, because here's why I'm not moving an inch away from stock TW or 4.4.2 :))

(And no, I have no idea why my phone is obsessed with the number 47.)
