[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mangaf:
Hi all,

I write this thread after spending almost one entire week trying to fix my phone, that is a Motorala RAZR HD XT925.

It was very slow lately, and finally it was just showing the Motorola logo like it was about to turn on, but it was getting stuck to that....

I tried a lot of stuff: soft reset, hard reset, factory reset: nothing, still the logo until it runs out of battery.

Finally, I saw few stuffs about AP Fastboost and I figured out that it was the only thing remaining that wokrs somehow. Then I found tutorials about flashing roms via Fastboost.

I tried several roms but none was working (failure on boot.img and recovery.img), before I figured out that XT925 is not XT926.... For the latter you find a lot of Fastboot files easily, for the XT925 well is seems more difficult.... then after trying so many things, I got lost, totally lost!

Flashing roms, ClockWorkMod, Recovery, Root, Unblock Bootloader, .... everything is messed up in my head. I want to buy a new phone anyway because I have not that much hope. But I've decided to throw my last card and write a post in here before :p

In summury: it is an XT925 (bought in France), the phone is not rooted, the bootloader is blocked, it seems I lost all my data (after doing a "fastboot -w" I think but at this stage I don't really mind), I only have access to the AP Fastboot and I am under linux (no DS Lite then...).

Is there any way to turn this phone on again?

Thank you for all.

Wow... Thanks for your fast reply!

Well just to be sure, if I go through that tuto (type mrbluecoat tutorial restore verizon droid razr on Google) with the files you provided it should be ok?

Or is there another special process? (I see a lot of files that are not mentioned in the tuto...)

Thank you a lot, I will have to go to work now and I am not at office today, so I will probably try this tonight! (Hope is back! :good:)

Nice day to all ;)

On the other hand, I have the logo back and the battery charging when I turn it off and plug it to the outlet....

that is still an advance compared to this morning.

What is missing? maybe it was not the proper version of the FXZ?

I had Kitkat on my phone already, after an update from Motorola, and no doubt about it, it is an XT925 (it is written behind).

Thanks for all.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mangaf:
One more detail that can make a difference I think: my bootloader is locked...

I've read somewhere than you cannot downgrade if it is locked... then if there is a way to unlock it from fastboost, maybe I can try the Jelly Bean firmware?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
Yes, a locked bootloader does make a difference. I assumed you already were, but its ok, we can fix this. Use this link to get rooted and unlocked

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mangaf:
Well I tried the tools at the given link, but they don't seem to work...

Since I only have access to the fastboot mode, I think it is a problem to detect the phone with adb.

When I do "adb devices" on a command line, there is nothing detected while with "fastboot devices" the phone is detected.

Yeah it is very boring I know, but I think unless there is a method that can fully work on the fastboot mode, I don't see any way to get through this xD
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mangaf:
Wow!! I cannot belive that this phone is finally on!!!! :crying: (tears of happiness!!!)

Here is what I did finally (in detail):

As I told you, when I do "fastboot devices" in the terminal it detects the device, that means in some way I must hive some proper drivers installed I guess...

I tried to find a way to unlock the bootloader from the fastboot. It turns out that the official tuto provided by Motorola itself just require fastboot!!

(motorola-global-portal.custhelp / unlock-your-device).

So I followed the instructions:

$ fastboot oem get_unlock_data

It gave me some numbers, that I returned back to Motorola (need to sign in) who returned me the *My_Unique Number* to unlock my phone.

Then a last step was:

$ fastboot oem unlock *My_Unique Number*

And as magic: that was it!!!

But my pain was far from being over! (Ok not that far...., for not to discourage those who are in the same case :p)

After that, I had that famous issue of "Battery Low" at the bootloader... xD Perfect moment for the!

I never could have the big battery on the screen charging, no matter what I tried, but just the screen reminding me that I've unlocked my bootloader, then I may be in trouble.... (well at this state, I think no trouble from this phone can really scare me now!).

I even sacrificed one mini USB cable (RIP) trying to get some kind of factory cable, and of course that didn't work....

So I was about to give up, then I just plugged it as if I was charging it at that time it was still working properly... :rolleyes:, it popped up the warning screen again about the bootloader, and I just left it there for few minutes (20 min approximately).

When I turned it on again, it turned out that it was charging indeed! So I got the "Battery OK" mode!!

Finally, I took the KitKat FXZ files you provided to me earlier, and I used HouseOfMoto to flash it! Everything went good until it riched "system.img", and it went through a kind of loop.... xD

Well after several sending 'system' and writing 'system', I decided to stop it! Then I took a Brasilian Jelly Bean version FXZ file, restarted the process, and arriving at system, same thing! But this time I left it go, and at some point, it seems it stopped... then the "Battery Low" came again and then all the rest (few actually) failed, and terminated the process.

Then the rebooting moment came, and I have never been so happy to read Portuguese on my screen :cool: :cool: :cool:!

I want to say a big thanks to the team of this website for the really (but really really) amazing work they are doing. But of course, special HUGE thanks to you palmbeach05, because if you didn't answer me that fast, and helped me so much, I would have thrown this phone already!

Thanks man! :good:

Cheers!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmbeach05:
Now you can either stay with that or upgrade it to KK. For you guys on the RHD, its all a matter of what bl you want to be on. Most of the ROMs (if you choose to move to custom firmware) is kkbl based for RHD since you guys did get that update from Moto.

What's this for exactly?
[Verizon LG G3] manaox2:
Hilarious. If you took OTA update, you no longer have TWRP or root to use any longer and there isn't a current way to get them back. If your on a 35B Rom, just use the 12b kdz file available to download through many other threads.

This is not needed at best.

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prorokrak:
I have also experienced this behavior in Asphalt 8 since I have updated to Lollipop in the beginning of December 2015. I am on IronROM 2.5 which is TW-based Lollipop 5.0.2 ROM.

Interestingly, in some rare cases I was able to play the game in high quality. I have noticed that at least in one case the battery was full when I started playing game. But most of the time the game has been in terrible quality and sometimes even in this low quality it is lagging. Having the battery full is not a guarantee that it can be played in high quality.

I have found out that when I use Link2SD, and I enable to use Android standard "fuse" filesystem for internal storage, instead of Samsung's standard "sdcardfs" filesystem, the lags are getting worse. So by restoring the Samsung's sdcardfs filesystem the lags are not so bad.

But I was unable to force the game to go into the high-quality mode. I have even used integrated tool Hulk-Kernel STweaks to set CPU governor to "pegasusq" or "ondemand", and also set min and max CPU frequency to 1900 MHz and GPU min and max frequency to 733 MHz, but it had no impact on gaming performance in terms of graphic quality. Before starting the game I have also used task manager to free up memory (so I had some 1,8 GB of 2,71 GB used which means still some 900 MB free).

I guess it has something to do with Lollipop but I am unable to find out what is the problem.

Seems the last game update (2.3.0i) did the trick. Asphalt running on high res again. Brgds.

Sincerest apologies as I did not do enough research before attempting to answer before.

2 things to try:

1) Default password is supposedly 1688. I have no way to verify this but saw it mentioned in a couple of threads.

if that doesn't work...

2) use file manager in TWRP to remove omadm and lockscreen apps.

Yes it can.

You should be able to. I don't think it's a software limitation with the non 3g version, it's just hardware. So with the hardware present it should work.

Thanks for confirming that, any sources/links that i can look at? Im in the UK so the esim will not be of any use to me atm but if i can pair it to my phone and make and recieve calls that way that'd be great.

Ye i want speak with my gear s2 but with my phone number

Yes you should be fine with the 3g version, but the non-3g version doesn't have a speaker so you need bluetooth headset for calls with that model.

I finally found an app that allows double tap to wake without root! Now you can keep your power and home buttons from getting all gunked up. See the attachment for the APK. According to the website below, this used to be available in the Play Store. I guess it was removed because Google doesn't like to allow apps to wake the screen? :confused:

The app keeps the screen on so that will increase battery drainage.

[Galaxy Note5 Themes and Apps] bryanhayn:
Why does it drain the battery? The screen appears to be completely off. I looked at the screen with a flashlight and couldn't see any pixels on. Is it preventing the phone from entering a low CPU use sleep state?
[Galaxy Note5 Themes and Apps] garyd9:
If it's keeping the screen on, but only displaying "total blackness", then any AMOLED display (such as on our Note 5 devices) will APPEAR to be completely off (as none of the pixels are illuminated) even if the display is still "alive." If the screen is alive, then the device isn't going into suspend (sleep), so it would destroy idle battery life. Instead of only dropping 1% (or less) of battery charge an hour, you'd start dropping 7-10% an hour.
[Galaxy Note5 Themes and Apps] Misterjunky:
re: double tap

The reason it uses a lot of battery is because it uses the proximity sensor

and it keeps it enabled all the time.

Same holds true for any of the double tap screen-on apps at the playstore.

Good luck,

Have a great day!
[Galaxy Note5 Themes and Apps] ElQuixote:
Unfortunate that you can't set a duration for it to remain active after the screen has gone off (e.g. 10 seconds, to use when the screen unintentionally turns off) so that it doesn't continue to drain battery. Anyone know of a non-root way to disable it after a given duration or another app that can perform this function?

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EeZeEpEe:
Pretty sure all three colors have the soft touch coating. I've watched probably the first 10 YouTube videos you get when searching Nexus 5X and all those hands on never mentioned any of the colors being glossy.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danthepan124:
I feel like google wouldn't do that? but I mean anything can happen, I personally really want the blue because of the pastel look to it heh
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbdan:
I hope so, although not a deal breaker for me. I never held a white or red N5 but heard they were not of the same soft touch grippy material on the black which I still have.

The spigen and ringke slim cases were the same way. All their colors except black were not the soft touch. Their black cases are. I have a few N5, GS6, & N6 cases in both spigen and ringke different colors and this is the case.

I like it too. We'll have to wait a bit longer I believe but it'll be worth it
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0.0:
Black is soft touch. White and Ice is more plastic, like the white n5. My source is a user on reddit who felt the dummy phones in Japan that was on display. It's possibly accurate
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
I got black in case it's the only one with the "true" soft touch coating as LG and Google did with the Nexus 5. However in Anandtech's Hands On they said that white and black had the same material, which is bare polycarbonate and no soft touch unfortunately. They did not get hands on with the Ice blue but I imagine it's the same.

So they should all look and feel similar to the Nexus 5 white and red, which means less grip but also less finger prints.

Also black seems to have the shorter shipping times in my region, looks like more people are going with white and the new blue option compared with 2 years ago.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danthepan124:
I talked to a Google rep, and he said the material for all colors is the same, so thats a pretty good sign that they all have the same finishing touch
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landale:
I originally ordered the white but cancelled and switched to the blue after seeing more pictures and videos of both. The white one just looks cheaper to me. It's not that the blue looks more lux but the color at least gives it some character to help offset the plastic build.
