Moto droid stock 2.1, refurbished, activated just a few days ago..
Ok so yesterday I had a lockup and the phone would not reboot. I kept trying to get it to turn on with consisted of powering up the phone getting lockedup/stuck on the motorola M logo for many min's then would pull the battery and try again. After about 8 try's it booted up and worked..
Then last night locked-up again and now it will not get past the M.. I tryed a hold x with power and wipe data and foctory reset. it seems to work but does say e:can't open /cache/recovery/command and then says abunch of stuff looks like it's working. BUT still will not load past the M logo
Is my phone dead is there a way to recover from this ? can I just load a NEW OS somehow ?
Already talked to verizon and there going to send me a new phone but will not be getting it till monday or tuesday and I really need a working phone for the weekend..
HELP !
That sounds like a hardware or firmware issue. Unfortunately, you need to just wait for your new phone. You don't want to risk loading an SBF file onto your Droid while it isn't functioning correctly. Even if you are successful - it more than likely will not fix your issue.
Hate to say it, but... just wait it out.

a few days ago my fiance was complaining her basically stock Nexus was rebooting into a bootloop - where it displays the loading X and vibrates and then reboots and repeats every few moments (a few days after her doing the system update)- if I remove the battery for a few minutes then put battery back and reboot it will boot into the OS where it will stay sometimes for a few minutes othertimes an hour or more before going into the bootloop- so I told her I would attempt to flash a new rom. after many hours of messing with the phone and attempting to access the recovery it just will not work- the phone just goes into the bootloop - exactly as mentioned above. I have used fastboot to flash new images (userdata, system, boot, recovery etc) numerous times and it still does the same thing- crashes and reboots into the bootloop from the OS randomly and bootloop when trying to access recovery. I am pretty sure it is a hardware issue (the phone is only 3 months old) but the company i bought the phone from is stating it is a software issue and not covered by tehir warranty.
Problem is I unlocked the bootloader while messing with the rom's yesterday and am now concerned they wont honour the warranty anyway- does anyone have any suggestions as to anything else I can try? As far as I can tell as I cannot access recovery I cannot install any other roms..
Please help- otherwise I will be posting a yourtube video of me destroying a basically brand new nexus one- I really am that frustrated....
a bit more info- it was rooted but still had locked bootloader when this started- rooted using onclickroot or something- which after the update it wasn't rooted anymore- I am wondering if this has caused some low level conflict somehow- I have rooted again using superoneclick - and as stated have unlocked the bootloader.
is there any way to flash a rom using fastboot or adb on this thing- I would hazard surely there is but amongst all the information floating around for this phone I cannot find out how- I am thinking maybe I try and load cyanogen 6 or something if I could work out how to flash a rom using adb (because njo matter how many times I try to flash different recovery images it wont boot into recovery- I can access fastboot etc but as soon as i select recovery I get the bootloop...
and before I get flamed I have spent three days searching and reading and attempting everything short of voodoo witch magic. I thought my X10 was a P.I.A. to root and flash etc but really it was simple compared to the trouble this phone has given me..
I am wondeirng if some of the rom's are incompatible with some hardware- and I don't quite understand the whole radio thing either... can someone explain that?
BTW Im not a total noob- I have been around for a while without an account - then have had this account for a while but mostly just read the forums as I have no real input and knowledge to give...
...help!
Can no one help?
I have managed to get into recovery (by putting the phone in the freezer for ten minutes at a time to reduce the temperature and stabilise it enough to run for 15-20 minutes at a time)...
Have flashed different kernels this way and nothing is stable- it still bootloops because of heat....
I contacted HTC Hong Kong (it was purchased from a Hong Kong company) and they have told me there is a $350 fee to repair it as its a UK phone. Now the phone is exactly 55 days old not three months and I am really really frustrated.
Does anyone know if its worth contacting HTC UK?
I have friends in the UK I can have them send it in and recieve it from repair....
Someone please help- even if its just a comment of "just smash the damn thing..."
Thanks guys sorry about the long self centred posts but I am ready to destroy this phone- it doesnt have a mark on it either- any ideas what its worth for spare parts?

A little different brick of my Moto G 2nd gen(XT-1068).plz help
Hi ,
Please dont ignore my mail just bcoz its too long. I have been following this thread from four to five days. Will you please help me ? Just have a look at my problem. I have been rooting my android phones and have good experience of testing , rooting the handsets. Recently I flashed my Moto G ( xt-1068 ) with lolipop because i was not able to wait till motorolla release it.
I tested it for few days , and successfully downgraded back to 4.4.4 kitkat. It was all fine. I love MIUI so I started my work to port MIUI over our favourite Moto G . I even ported it and was not booting. So I edited updter-script and was trying to flash it back on my xt-1068.
Now the mistake that happened was , due to some error in the script , It aborted the installation. When i checked the log from CWM , It has crossed partitioning and it aborted while extracting the directorties. By mistake I restarted the phone and since the partitions were flashed and there was nothing to execute , my phone is stuck. Its not even starting . Its getting recognised as "qhsusb_bulk". Thts why i came over this thread and tried to follow the procedure you have mensioned.
I am also getting the same error like while flaashing with blank-flash : FAILED (blank-flash:sdl-transfer-image:sdl-hello:invalid HDLC frame) and FAILED (blank-flash:sdl-transfer-image:sdl-hello:error sending packet) .
So do i have the same problem that happened with theses guys who tried to downgrade their handsets from Lolipop to kitkat ? If its so , should I also wait for Lolipop release by moto ? or will i have some other problem ? Do you have any solution ? I was really wanted to make MIUI available for our Moto G . I don't feel sad for bricking of m phone but what ifeel sad is I want it back. I can't pass my day without it. i am missing it. Please can you suggest me wht should I do ?
Thanks in advance.

firmwares
do someone has the moto g 2gen firmwares on extention .tar.gz i need them to fix my phone
Help!!
Hi people.
Well, only 2 weeks ago I got my Moto G XT1063 and I unlocked bootloader to install Soak Test of Android 5.0.2 with RetailUSA firmware. (My device's original firmware, was for Claro Colombia).
It worked well, I got it running perfect. Yesterday I saw that official/final version of 5.0.2 was available for my device with RetailUSA firmware, but I needed to do a downgrade to KitKat first, because it wouldn't work if I was in Soak Test yet.
So I made the downgrade, and it was running well, I checked for updates, and there was no updates availables, so I decided to reboot, to see if it may make the update appear. But after turning off my device, and trying to turn it on again, just nothing happened.
Now, my device doesn't want to turn on, neither in fastboot mode. And now, I don't know what to do here. So I would be really thankful for any help provided.
Thanks in advance. Have a nice day.
So here is what happened,
My phone was maybe 14% plugged it in left it charging and went to sleep.
Woke up with the phone alarm and started reading whatsapp messages, at this point the phone was already at 100%.
Maybe 30-40 seconds later, with the cable still plugged in the phone turned off, with no message, it just "died".
Now it wont boot, fastboot, nothing.
Tried some solutions i found on the internet like holding vol down + power button for more than 2 minutes, and nothing.
I really need some help here guys, PLEASE.
The phone was running latest TITAN PRIME ROM 1.1 dev3
Everything will be appreciated, thanks in advance.
partitions whacked out?
It seems I am unable to flash anything probably due to partitions broken. When I try to do a fastboot flash, It results in OKAY, but it has no effect on the device. I tried to flash the gpt.bin to partition, but the problem remains. Is there any way to repair the partitions? I tried to format in fastboot, I get the error "formatting is not supported for filesystem with type 'raw'". I am also unable to change format from recovery. All ideas welcome!
This issue came up after my phone went battery empty.

Same here, also due to 0% battery.
Seems these phones do not shutdown early enough before the battery voltage drops below spec. ****ty engineering.
Please, someone help us for the sake of god.
There are several people with this problem and we don't know how to fix it.
Is there any possibility, any help, anything we could test would be welcome.

I recently tried to install a lot of ROMs, with few success because I'm a beginner at this kind of things. I still managed to reinstall completely a stock KitKat version, and tried to do the OTA update to Lollipop. The screen turned down when the update reached approximately 60% and I can't even restart the phone in bootloader to restore with adb since. Can someone help me or is it helpless?
Same here.
I have a xt1068 and I was on MM, but after found that gps was not working properly, decided to downgrade to Lollipop.
The downgrade worked fine, but then came the OTA stagefright update notification and I tried to install it.
It was on the recovery screen, in the middle of the update, it suddenly blacked out and made no response to charging ou power button. I cant make it into bootloader, nothing. Dead.
Help!
same thing happened to me
So sad
Same here. I tried following some tutorials on bricked phones, but my pc won't even recognize the device as they say it should. Can someone help us? I'm about to go out and go to a technical support store, but I'd like to try on my own first... Someone there to help me?

Hey there fellow OP 3T owners,
I just received my brand new OP 3T and after painstakingly going through the Android / Google setup options, only then could I update the OS.
But it didn't. It bricked my phone within a minute of updating. Buttons and the screen are totally unresponsive.
When connected to my desktop PC, my OP 3T is not recognized. The phone is brand new and was in use only 15-20 minutes before I went for the official software update provided to me by OnePlus.
I just went and opened a service ticket to RMA the phone, though I hope I can somehow avoid this by unbricking the phone.
I don't mind losing all my data, but I hope I will be able to unbrick my phone without going through 12+ steps and using half a dozen unverified 3rd party firmware files?
I just want the official OS back, as I'm content already with Nova Launcher...
*edit* I solved the problem by using the official build OnePlus 3T OxygenOS 4.0.2, "Minimal ADB and Fastboot", the deletion of all other ADB drivers in the Device Manager (such as "LeMobile Android Device" > Android ADB Recovery interface), one restart and otherwise lots of unnerving, long button presses on my OP3T.
Conclusion: This is not what I expected how my first experience with OP would go !!

Try out this unbrick process, I've bricked my phone twice (put into bootloop into twrp), this put me back to stock and up and running again.
If you can get to fastboot or recovery, you are not bricked.

I don't know what that is? I just care about how to be able to recover.
Right now I managed to restart, but it only shows the OP logo and the "powered by android" signage, both in white...
Mine did the same thing after 3 weeks. Couldn't get it to turn on. Sent it back to Oneplus on an RMA, turned out the motherboard was bad. Once I got it back, there hasn't been an issue. Working great now. That might be the your problem.
My phone doesn't turn on at all now meanwhile. I managed to install that Qualcomm driver somehow, but it went downhill from there fast!
I have the exact problem the OP has while trying to upgrade the OS, 100% stock. I downloaded the OTA and tried to install the new OS, but it froze seconds into installing it. Just would not go forward. "ADB devices" doesn't recognize the phone. Was able to get into fastboot but bootloader and firmware are both blank. I did a factory reset, but still nothing. I can see the OnePlus logo when I turn the phone on but that's it. Is there anyway I can push something to the phone to make it work again? Thanks.

The biggest issue I have right now with unbricking my phone is, that I simply do not have "USB debugging" activated, nor anything else, as I never even had the chance to do so, as I unfortunately applied the update right away after my first startup.
Thank you.

I tried the link you provided and it worked like a charm. I had exactly the same problem as the OP with the phone freezing while doing an OTA update and the ToolKit provided was able to unbrick my phone.
After unbricking the phone, I was able to upgrade the ROM to 7 using OTA with oneplus3toxygen_28_170114, download size was 1434MB.
Thanks.

What's it matter? OnePlus customer service is abysmal. The worst customer service I've ever experienced.
