Droid Razr M won't boot

This has now happened to me several times.
The screen will refuse to turn on (the phone will still be on and the led may be lit depending on messages.) So I'll do a hard restart by holding all the buttons. Upon restarting the phone will stay on the DROID eye logo forever. Attempt to boot into recovery mode will fail with a sad looking android guy showing a red exclamation mark. The phone will sit on this screen for a while and then reboot back into the normal loop.
I was able to get it working before by using fastboot to load the original firmware on the device. This is a major pain in the ***. Why does this keep happening? What's the right way to fix this?

Hi Tony,
Thanks for the reply. I was able to restore the stock firmware using some instructions I found online the other day. (Your link seems to go back to this page.)
Device wasn't doing anything. It was charging, I think it received a call while charging, though it didn't ring. Later at some point I attempted to remove from charger and use the side button to activate the screen. The screen didn't turn on and it seemed completely unresponsive. The LED was blinking showing I had a notification and that the device wasn't dead. I then attempted a hard reboot by holding all the buttons and after that it refused to boot. Hanging on the red eye.
Mostly wondering if anyone else has seen this problem (I've seen it 3 times now) or if there's a solution. Each time has required a full factory reset.
Thanks,
-Tom

Droid Razr HD won't connect to anything with cellular data. Also won't show messages correctly. Notification pops up, but no message to be found.

My Droid Razr HD won't connect to anything when I'm using my cellular data. Also, when I receive messages, a notification pops up but no message is shown at all.

Let's get your phone connected to everything with cellular data Larissaadele! We need some more clues to explore options to resolve! When did this connectivity issue start? For the messaging issue outlined in your post, are you referring to text messages or voice mail messages? What is your phone's software version?

Razr M won't boot - can I get my pictures

My Razr M won't boot - it keeps hanging at the red eye. I've tried all the reboot options short of a factory reset. Before I do that I'm wondering if there is a way to get my photos off the internal memory. I've tried connecting with the USB but it doesn't recognize it since it won't power on. Any way to do this?
Thanks!
Toni

Were the photos backing up to Google drive or any other cloud storage? If they are only on the phone, you may be out of luck... (I have my photos set to auto backup to cloud whenever I am connected to wifi - so even if I lose a few, the majority of my photos and videos are stored in the cloud as well as my phone.)

Droid razr maxx won't charge?

My droid razr maxx won't charge past 40%. I still am using the original charger and have tried charging while the phone is both on and off... Any suggestions?

As Rc indicated some USB's can have issues I have't seen any troubles in the one's that I currently own but I have more than one that I can use Plus I have the old Traditional OEM charger's that Motorola currently sell's but's not included in the box with the phone) The one you see below is one that I have and is usually found with an accessory..
If the phone is not passed the 14 day return, box it up with it's papers and return it to the store and have a Rep check it out with another charger if it works ok and you want to keep it Go a head) But if you'd rather exchange for another one see if the Rep will let you do it. Good Luck on your Decision.. b33

Droid Razr M Red Eye Boot Loop--continues for TOO many customers, need help!

Droid Razr M problem with red eye boot loop--with ALL of the many posts that can be found online concerning this problem, why is there not a FIX from Motorola and/or Verizon? All I seem to get are suggestions (I've tried) and "device is now considered out-of -date, you need a new phone". Why should I purchase a new phone when I will have another issue in 2 yrs to cause me to purchase again? Amazing how I am back to the 3G Droid Razr X to make due--It is about 5 yrs out-of-date. Support with phones that are out-of-contract is ...well, pretty much non-existent. Motorola gives the same "run around" after a 1 hr. call. Verizon chat tech were helpful/nice but I was sent to motorola when answers could not be found...useless call transfer/number. Any help for this Verizon faithful customer other than spend more $ for another phone?

Factory data reset is all that you can try really. If that does not repair the issue, then the software or hardware might really be at fault, and a repair would be necessary.

Droid Razr Maxx stuck in boot loop

A few days ago my droid razr max essentially died . I went to my local Verizon and purchased a new device but I have
been unable to recover all of the photos and other data from the old device. I've somehow managed to get the device to turn on but it is now stuck booting and will not load past the red eye. I am wondering if there is anything that I can do to get out of the boot loop without deleting or damaging the file saved to the device.

Chela2004,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your device not starting. We certainly want you to be able to retain the information on the phone. What exact information are you looking to extract? If you had an sd card in the old phone, pictures should be saved on their. As for contacts, those would either be saved with your google account you had with the phone, or with our application Backup Assistant plus. You can try to run the phone in safe mode to bypass the red eye screen http://vz.to/159K41E. Please fill us in on how this works and what you are needing to move from phone to phone.
Thank you,

Droid RAZR HD won't charge with either cable that came with the new phone.

My RAZR HD will not charge using either of the USB charging cords that came with the phone and I have tried several different USB/wall type adapters. I have to use a generic charger (not a USB cord, just a straight outlet to phone type). The data cable that connects the phone to my laptop works so it doesn't seem like it is a connection problem. Is anyone else having this trouble?

Thank you for the reply. After much trial and error I finally discovered
that the USB/outlet adapter cannot be plugged into any type of outlet
adapter (like converting two outlets to 4 or 6 in a wall outlet), extension
cord, or power strip/bar to function. It must be plugged directly into the
wall socket (or computer) in order to charge.

Droid incredible 2 won't boot up fully

My phone is stuck in a limbo. It goes from the word Droid to the white HTC screen then to a blank screen, over and over. My husband orignially found it with the droid eye on the screen and when be couldn't get it to start up beyond that, we took the battery out, cleaned the contacts, let it charge, and then turned it back on. It is now stuck in that loop.
Help!

My son took the SIM card out and reset if for me. Lost all of my downloaded apps but first and foremost I need my phone for work. Will not be downloading a lot of games for my child. I think it was my attempt to get HeyZap off of my phone that did this in the first place.

Droid Razr M won't turn on. Tried the reset (power and down vol. and all I get is the screen with the red circle with the M.

Help if you can. I feel cut off from the world!

LCLinda,
Oh no! I appreciate you trying all that you have. That most definitely is a way to try to get the device back up and running. Let's try these steps: http://vz.to/1Dztmpm. Keep us posted.

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s

I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract. Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy. I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s and keep my same plan but switch to the Edge program. Is this possible? I don't think I should have to pay an early termination fee or anything like that since my phone has become almost unusable. I know under normal circumstances you have to wait 2 yrs to upgrade but due to the update and the poor service I'm now getting I hope Verizon can make an exception. Thank you.

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

Press the power off button and reboot your phone. Should be back to normal after re-starting. Hope this helps.

Droid Razr Bug. Won't play streaming audio from websites.

My Droid Razr won't play streamed audio from a website and won't play .wav files attached to e-mails. That's annoying.
Motorola tech support said problem will be fixed upon next upgrade of Android OS.
My phone is currently running Android OS 2.3.5.
Does anyone now of a quicker fix?
Does anyone know when an OS upgrade will be available for the Droid Razr?
Thx!

i got the same issue on my ipod. i figured the whole idea of converting the format would solve the issue. never really found out how to solve it. i'll be watching this post to see if anyone has a solve for this issue.

Droid Razr Maxx HD Boot Loop/Factory Reset

My Droid Razr Maxx HD has been stuck in boot loop on the eye animation. I did a factory reset from the boot menu, but it is still stuck in boot loop. HELP PLEASE!

I'm very sorry to see that your device is causing you grief! I can see that you've already attempted a factory reset. I'd like to know more about that step. When attempting to process that reset, did it appear to complete it only to return to this 'boot loop'? Can you describe what you did, and what you saw? Also, has the device been damaged or has it's operating system been fundamentally altered (rooted)?

T520 won't operate with Droid Razr M Hotspot

I have tried a Click Away computer repair, Verizon and Motorola support but to no avail.
My T520 will not operate with my Droid Razr M hotspot. The hotspot works with other computers. The
T520 works with other hotspots. With the Droid Razr M, the T520 connects , sometimes has internet access for a short while, then no internet access. Most times it is no internet access from the start but the connection is made.
I have upgraded the driver for the Realtek 1x1 11b/g/n Wireless LAN PCI Express Half Mini Card, no change.
My other computer is an Ideapad Y550. The hotpsot works fine with this. I have no problem with my home Wifi
operating with the T520 either. I have spent hours by myself and with others and have no other ideas. HELP!!
Click Away - could get other cell phone Wifi to connect with T520. They thought the Droid Razr M was rejecting the
connection to the T520 due to a MAC ID flagged as bad by the phone. Explained this to Verizon but they didn't pursue this.
Verizon - Opened a ticket to look into it and after a week still had no response. Customer agent that answered my call to follow up on open ticket said their network people didn't find anything operating incorrectly, thus no call. Called 611 and phone person tried clearing cache and then resetting different settings to see if could get connection.
Motorola - tried extensively to test different setups, took over control of phone and did a lot I didn't follow, ended running through different specified Broadcast channels ( rather than auto) to see
if that would allow internet access. Their conclusion is that T520 is an incompatibility with the phone.

You can't. iPad Bluetooth does not support it.

Group Text Messages Won't Download On My Droid Razr Maxx HD

Many times my Droid Razr Maxx HD will not receive group text messages. Often, not always, when I receive a group text I get a message notification and when I look at the screen it simply says "downloading." This downloading can go on for hours. Two days ago one simple text message took 7 hours to download. This is a recent problem probably only going back 3 weeks or so. The other phones in this group text are two I Phone 5's, an I Phone 5 s and a Samsung Galaxy SIII. My phone is used for business and my inability to receive a text quickly is hurting my business. I may as well not have a cell phone. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

I, too, am having the same issue. I also notice the phone gets fairly warm/hot at times. This all started after the most recent update. It's highly annoying, as you all know, to see "Downloading 0kb" or "Downloading 30kb" over and over for both group texts as well as standard MMS. Having to turn off WiFi, get the messages/downloads, then re-enable it is a hassle and not one that was present prior to the update.
I've been with Verizon for a little less than 2 years but if pushing out mandatory patches to their phones causes problems like this then I would have no qualms switching to AT&T.
I like my phone and, for the most part, I've liked my service. I've Googled this issue and TONS of people are having it since the update. I hope Verizon is listening to it's customers and working on a patch of some sort.
