[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jefft92264:
so i dropped my phone a week back and shattered the screen. Bought a new screen with frame off ebay for $35 . Installed it perfectly (or so i thought) but when i tried turning it on i got nothing. I know i had 40% left on the battery but it was now dead. I plugged it in using the original charger and got a white flashing light which i thought was a good thing... but 12 hours of charging did no good. The second i unplugged it the light stopped flashing and it wouldnt power up. there was no key combination i could do to get it to come to life if it was unplugged. While it was plugged in i could get it to flashboot mode...there is said the battery was low... but if i pressed the start button nothing would happen, pressing the recovery button, nothing would happen... only the power off button worked which just powered the phone off returning to the white pulsing led. Side note, it also said software status: modified. This was a refurbished phone Motorola sent me for $150 after i sent my phone in for a busted usb charging port. My original phone nor this one was ever been modified... never unlocked my bootloader and never messed around with rooting either of them.... why does it say modified then?

anyway, i then tried pluggin it into the computer and it comes up as an "other device" labeled "Fastboot Clark S". oddly enough plugged into the computer it shows battery is OK and charging. (but when id plug it back into the wall it returned to the batteryt status as low".. i assume the battery must have gone bad somehow cuz why wont it hold the charge? i left it plugged in the computer for 6 hours hoping it would do something, but the second i unplugged it it went black. Key combos didnt work... only thing i could get to was this fastboot screen. I then recalled i had purchased a replacement battery for my previous phone but never used it because shortly thereafter had the USB port issue. SO i pulled the phone apart again, replaced the battery ensuring everything was connected properly (least i knew the screen worked) put it all back together... same thing. Tried charging on through the computer, through the original wall charger... nothing.

i downloaded the minimal adb and fastboot and ran fastboot getvar all(not because i knew to do that, i just read about it in a posting i had seen here) and this was the output....

from all this info supplied, can anyone tell me whats going on and how i can fix this or did i brick my phone somehow? in the post i read here they were given links to download and flash something and the phone suddenly booted.... by doing that, would i lose everything on my phone?

hoping for answers,.....

thanks!
