[Q] Unable to start/boot my Razr i - RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Details about phone:
Rooted, Bootloader unlocked, running on original ICS android version
Issue:
Unable to boot my phone, only thing I could see is the bootloader unlocked warning turned and remaining there for life.
Probable issue:
Using incorrect travel charger- I was traveling and didn't carry my phone's charger so have to Noika or Samsung chargers,
First my phone didn't accept the charging from Samsung charger- than it start to heat up, than I keep on loosing network- than starting reboot, slowing started taking several attempts to reboot- than goes upto batwing and intel logo--- and NOW nothing.
I can access the Fastboot screen but not sure what to do here except power off and Normal powerup(which never works)
Did I bricked my phone.
Special mentioned: I've to keep my phone in freezer to get it cool and work for some time LOLzzzzz
I'm not a developer or tech guru... so please help me.. understand what can I do here to save my phone....

You can try to install stock ROM via RSDlite.

same trouble here :crying:
AW: Help!!!!!!!! My XT890 does not start up!!!
I guess both of you wasn't unlocked. If that's the case you guys killed the Bootloader. No way to save it now.
You can't flash anything if you're not able to boot into AP.

Same Problem by me, but my Razr-i was unlocked
AW: Help!!!!!!!! My XT890 does not start up!!!
You had already updated to JB?
Even with an unlocked Bootloader you can't downgrade to ICS with RSD easily.
You have to remove the line gpt.bin & motoboot to flash an ICS Fastboot without an Brick. If you don't do that your Bootloader will be messed up and your Phone is dead.

My phone can enter fastboot
My phone can enter fastboot,“flash motoboot failed” with RSD, what can I do?I see motoboot the SBF inside. .Sorry, my English is poor
The beginning of time, the RSD can not read the phone, and then I try to use fastboot command Brush, brush into the boot file, brush system prompt bl file is too large, failed, and then I replace the computer, reinstall the system, RSD connected to the phone brushofficial SBF to the third step flash motoboot failed.I want to brush the official 4.1 GB was originally 4.0GB.How should I do it now?
What Firmware are you trying and what Firmware where you running, before you messed up?
I hope for you that you're not on your way to flash ICS over JB.

I notice that a lot of the bricks posted in these threads (and PMing me) have often less than 10 posts. This suggests people sign up here, download firmwares, flash without reading anything and BOOM. That's clearly a serious cause of a lot of this.
There appears to be different kinds of bootloader problems, I'm not totally sure if some of these are dead or repairable.

Xperia TX bricked (only showing sony logo then a triangle with an exclamation mark)

Please help me guys, I have no one else to turn to. My parents are gonna kill me if they find out what I did to my phone.
So my phone accidentally fell at school with the bluetooth still on.So I put the battery pack, power it on, but then it started to go on a boot loop i.e.
Sony logo-->Xperia Logo-->color animation-->black screen. But after 3-4 hours, it managed to do a complete boot! But I noticed that the bluetooth wasnt turning on. So stupid me, I restarted the device, then it started to go on a boot loop again. I got home and I tried it a couple of times more with the power and volume rocker combinations... didnt work either.
I even started using pc companion. didnt work (kept on doing the same thing
SUS --> same thing
NOW: I tried it using a different computer so I went to an internet shop and downloaded pcc and sus. I started pc companion... but halfway through the download... MY PHONE RAN OUT OF BATTERY and didnt finish the update. :'( Now, whenever I'm booting the phone, I only get the Sony logo and A TRIANGLE WITH AN EXCLAMATION MARK AND A PHONE UNDERNEATH.....
PLEASE HELP ME! My Phone is a Sony Xperia TX Lt29
Last Version before the crash: JB 4.1.2
No root (Noob here)
please... please. i dont know what to do. thank you in advance to anyone who can help me
calm down.
Charge the phone until it is fully charged.
Download PCCompanion and do a fresh install of it.
Run PCCompanion and choose software update.
Use the option to repair your phone, then follow the instructions.
Let us know how you get on
PS
This will only do a software repair, if something broke because you dropped it (Which it sounds like) you are going to have to come clean and tell your parents to get it fixed.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR REPLY!!! really thank you :'(
I already did something with the phone because I've been doing a lot of searching on the net lately...
I reinstalled the software using Sony Update Service (SUS) and it booted normally! (but sadly it was only during the FIRST BOOT UP) when I turned off the phone to re insert the sim card and micro sd, It started doing it again... but then, after 6 or 7 tries, it managed to skip past the sony logo-->xperia--> logo-->color animation? and do another complete boot
Now I decided to go to settings and do a complete factory reset cause I thought it would fix everything... but it didn't. It started doing the same thing, and I had to give it 10 or 12 tries before eventually booting up again. When it booted up normally, I was even able to play music with it and change the settings like brightness, volumes, equalizers, and even arrange widgets!
SITUATION NOW:I turn on the Wi-fi and it's in a boot loop again and I'm charging the phone up to 100%
(i did the vol.up vol down power combination before charging)
gregbradley, is it because of our slow internet connection??? (it took me like 4 nerve racking hours to finish the update) but sus was able to complete the download and install the software... what the f*ck is wrong with my phone (((( ohgod
AND:
I'll follow your instructions when the charge is complete...... and I'll be back to you with the results.God I hope this works.Thank you again.
Have you tried only partially flashing part of an ftf file. I know when my phone was on the brink of death I discovered that if I only flashed part of an ftf using flashtool that it would work. I think I would check everything that has exclude (ie: Exclude System) and it would work for me. Its not the end of the world though as the phone does work. Just a bootloop. If you can get it into flash mode then just exclude everything except System, Kernel, and baseband if I'm not mistaken.

Thank you for the reply man '^^
um... to tell you the truth, I have no idea how to partially flash a tft file, let alone flashing. O_O (see how noob i am?) its saddening. So am I in the point right now where my phone's problem is unsolvable via pc companion or sony update service??? Plus I've been doing some searching here on xda and I saw this thread about xperia TX users updating to version b 167 and that their bootloaders are now locked.
This is what my phone is exactly doing whenever I try to boot it up:
Sony Logo---->Xperia Logo----> Color waves animation?---> FREEZE-->black screen then the Sony Logo again.
Whenever I try to boot up for the 2nd time this happens:
Sony Logo----> Black Screen---> Phone turns off---> Sony Logo again
(((
You have flashtool yes? If you load up like you're going to flash a ftf file. Once you click to load up the ftf file it'll pull a menu where you pick what you want to flash. On the right side of flashtool that's where the exclude part is. That's where you have to check the *exclude option. The same thing happened to me when I accidentally flashed a T cm10 rom on my phone. I had to partially flash a ftf file to get it to boot. It should work but since you're not familiar with flashtool its going to make it a bit harder for you in the end. :/

just let it plug in with the charger and keep your phone on for day, usually that will fix it after a few hours with that logo running
Use a battery charger, charge for at least half the entire batt and then follow the thread on flashing, download some files while charging to minimize downtime

Hey guys...... ))))
First and foremost, thank you for all your replies.. really helped me a lot (
It's okay now guys! '^^ I re installed the software via Sony Update Service and it worked. At first I thought the phone was a goner cause it didn't manage to do a complete boot right after the installation. (Phone was stuck on the Sony Logo) But then the next morning, I tried it again and it worked!!
BUT: What I fear now is that the phone might suddenly crash again if I turn on the WI-FI (just like what happened in my previous attempts) If the phone crashes, I fear that the phone would start going on a boot loop again.So basically, I'm just using the phone for media purposes only i.e. Walkman, Gallery,Camera, Movies.
Any thoughts on this, cool, awesome people of xda? '^^ (cant update my apps and google now f*ck)
just.. sad. I miss Flipboard,Modern Combat 4, My Daddy Was a Thief, Real Racing 3, DEAD SPACE (((
one question...
Did something broke inside my phone when it fell?? If yes... WHAT EXACTLY IS IT?? why is it behaving this way??? Why does it keep on boot looping??? should I go and let an expert open it????

Constant Reboot

Hi received a Z1 today. I updated to 257 straight away but the phone keeps rebooting itself. It's really frequent. If I'm using the phone I can pretty much guarantee it will reboot with less than 5 mins of use.
It freezes for a few seconds and then reboots.
Anyone heard anything of this?
Also, it keeps warning me of open flaps and waterproofing? is this standard?
Think I'll have to send it back but just wanted to check there wasnt a easy fix. I've resetted the phone and it still happens with no apps installed or anything which rules out any conflicted applications.
Thanks

You can try to flash 257 firmware again via flashtool but if you don't have any apps and device is new it's better to return it and take another one or send it on repair.
It's not usual behavior and it shouldn't restart.
Warning for opened flaps should be visible only after upgrade or first boot.

I keep getting the warning, im wondering if this is a clue that something is up software wise.
Will I void warranty and cause problem returning the phone if I use flashtool?
I also get the warning about waterproof, and to close external covers every time I turn my phone back on and off. Perplexes me too because I always carefully close the flaps after charging. Kinda makes me uneasy. Maybe I should return also. Should be noted phone is completely stock and on latest firmware.
i also got the same problem with my Z1 afterinstalling prerooted .257. already full-wiped -> no result
i dont have any apps that are cleaning/tuning/etc
now formating my 64gb ultra-sdhc from sandisk, hope this will help
will report if there is some change... or not

Hi all. I had the exact same issue but I found a post in another forum on how to fix.
In the display menu ensure that "Optimize Backlight" is enabled. It's a glitch introduced with the latest patch.
As soon as I enabled that setting, my phone stopped rebooting.

That option is available only in 534 and lower.
It's not available in 257.
It's strictly software issue because flaps do not have sensors and that warning you are constantly getting shouldn't appear every time you boot device...
It should appear only for the first time to warn you and, if I remember correctly, yoy can tick checkbox "don't show it next time".
If some of you have this problems don't flash nothing - you could lose warranty.
Just take your phone and return it or send for repair.

Don't be so sure.
If you flashed other version, the one that isn't meant to be on your phone (if you bought phone from your carrier) and try to send it for a warranty - you could pay for repair.
Been there - tried that.
Maybe it's not right but it could happen so - I would recommend - first contact seller.
Some of sellers won't take your phone (waranty) if you peeled screen protector (original) - mine carrier is O.K with that.
So, it's obviously that all sellers have their own rules - I'm not saying that's good - I'm saying - ask first because it could be very expensive try.

I had the reboot problem after updating from (Rooted) 534 to (non root) 257 through PC Companion.
Downgraded to 534 with flashtool, rooted again and updated to 257 through OTA to keep root. reboot issue seems to have gone now (fingers crossed).
ota.... yes it could solve this problem^^
please report after day or 2 of usage about the problem. i also hope that there will be no reboots^^
now after flashing back to .514 to get the ota update (generic de) im not able to install the ota update!?!?!?
after the reboot there is a message with "you device was not updated. try it again" or something like that (translated from german)
does anyone know why this happens and how to solve the problem?

the reason for that was the installed recovery

[Q] Sony xperia z turns off without any warning

I have sony xperia z model c6603 kitkat. It used to turn off without any reasons. After it turns off, I cannot turn on the phone without connecting the charger. After connecting the charge it shows that the phone has no charge even if it has enough charge and after pressing the power button it turns on.
I was so frustrated I rooted the phone, unlocked the boot-loader and flashed the original ftf of sony kitkat using flashtool just in the hope that I will not face the same problem. But I again faced the problem. I even tired flashing AOKP but the phone always turns off without any warning.
At the moment I have flashed cyanogenmod but the problem is always here.
So, I have come to the conclusion that it is not the problem on Sony firmware and next version of android(if they release) for Sony will not solve this problem. My question is do any one have any idea what is the problem? Is there any kernel or app that will help me?
