Atrix 2 not turn on

Hello guys I'm here because my Atrix 2 will not turn on.
The only thing is the white LED lights ...
What should I do?!
thank you!

Hmmm... What were you doing prior to it not working? Dropped? Something minor occur resulting a reboot? When did you buy it? Finally... Any physical damage on the castor screen from impact damage?

I've rooted the phone, and before when I've reboot the battery appear on the screen...

I know with my captivate I used to be able to take the battery out, plug it in and it would boot. Try that... Yank tha battery, plug it in, and try to boot it

hi i have the same problem, i tried what you said but it still wont open.
i think its like a bug cause when i woke up it just stoped working with no reason!!!
p.s. sorry for my english

Try using the fxz file. My phone used to be glichy and do weird things. I flashed it and now it works fine.
Can u boot into AP fastboot mode?

no the phone is like totaly dead i cant even do a hard reset nothing at all....
could it be just a bad cable and it wont charge?

Do u still have the warranty? If so I'd just get a new one. It sounds to me like u have a bad phone! Did u get it from best buy?

no i just bought it from e-bay this phone is not yet released in europe

"BOOM" the phone just opened by it self WTF is going on with motorolas? lol i am just happy for not losing my money.

Oh in Europe? I assumed u were in the states! My bad im sure u mentioned it. I just wasn't paying attention.... lol. So u see nothing at boot ? Not even the M in the start? Nothing at all?
Well the only thing I can think of at the moment is:
Press the volume buttons at the same time and hold them down.
Then press the power button.
In the menus look for AP fastboot.
If u can see that u can flash the fxz. Im sorry. Its 1:30 a.m. here in California! Im so tired. Im sorry if I couldn't help u! :-/

it was doing nothing at all it was totaly dead but some minutes later it just opened by it self and works great again what to say......those phones are going to get me crazy. lol

The same thing happened to me after rooting and flashing Romulus. Used the phone a week or two, never rebooted it. Battery ran dead one night and wouldn't boot the next day. It seemed to not want to take the power from a usb hook up(pc), white lcd light and even self booted like in the quote here. Finally, during a self boot, plugged it in to a wall charger and it recharged no problem.
I definitely think there's a glitch with NO POWER AVAIL in this model's bootloader somewhere, and I'm in the US! Kinda afraid to turn the damn thing off again though...
Any delving would be nice!!!
Help us Obi Wan, You're our only hope!

It's not ROM related, it's dead battery and charge-mode related. I think that there is not enough battery to boot into charge mode. Power cycling can help if you catch it and plug in at the right time.. or you could always go MacGyver on it... see HERE for some previous discussion on this subject. Glad you got it to work, though.
Also, you need to reboot your phone more often than once a week (try like once every day or two) - or it can start to slow down and lag.

white led means insufficient power..
you need to use your wall charger...

what if there is no Led what so ever?
tried charging the battery and it seems it did, because it got a little hot
but stiLL didnt turn on a bit, its Like compLeteLy dead now.
i was trying to fLash the stock rom 4.0 with rsd Lite and when it 'reboot' to start doing its stuff, it never booted again
and after that im not able to see any lights on my phone, (tried aLL key combination)
(ceLLphone has no guarantee, bought it on ebay)
do i need to send it to a repair shop, or change the circuit board?
or just get another one?

If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

i saw that thread before and i couLdn't find it, thanx for the Link.

Is it bricked?

I have a Rogers Skyrocket and I was trying to update CWMR touch.
I tried several times through the terminal emulator and it failed. I must confess, I wasn't being careful this time. My attention was divided as I thought it was business as usual. I tried searching for apps on the Play Store to flash them, but Rom Manager cost a few bucks and Recovery Manager didn't work.
I was going to reboot into download mode to use odin and my attention drifted away. When I looked back at my phone, it was off. I tried turning it on, but no response. I know it had at least half the battery left. I tried a battery pull, but nothing. Plugging into the computer or wall to charge does not initiate the charge.
Is there anyway to fix this?

I'm gonna be honest, it really does sound like a hard brick. Try another battery pull and hold the power button while u reinsert. Any vibration at all means u have hope

Damn. Will Rogers replace it? Or am I going to have to pay for it?

can you get the download mode or the recovery?
if not the i'm pretty sure its hard bricked.
but you might try a jig to force it into download mode.
you can tell rogers it was a failed update by kies, and the will send out a refurb but they will want the broke phone sent back to them oh and i hope that's brand new(less than 30 days)or they might say no.
i got two refurbs out of them this way.

try it and see, if you bought it directly from them i think they just give you a refurbed one on the spot, ok just read previous post, so maybe not on the spot.
or keep it charging for awhile to make sure the battery wasnt dead. once you know the battery has a good charge and still wont boot, do a battery pull for like 10mins, then try, if still nothing then it looks like a hardbrick

he stated that it would not initiate a charge when plugged into wall charger or comp also if it were a dead battery it will still vibrate when you try to turn it on.
i' certain the boot img is corrupt which means a jtag revival.

true, but when my bat was dead it did not do anything for a few minutes, not even show the charging screen, i thought then the i mucked something up, but after awhile it started showing the charge screen...........it cant hurt for him to try even though i think its bricked, but he should be able to get a replacement

yes rogers will replace it but they may charge him a little if the phone is more than 30 days old. he can try to charge that battery as you stated and hope for the best.
i can give him link to a good jtageer 50.00 is what he charges, if indeed the phone be bricked.

i bricked mine and it would vibrate but nothing would happen.
your only hope is to try download mode.
i thought i bricked the other day it would show the i727 screen then turn off. but i could get into download mode.

Unless battery meter was wrong or there was a massive drain in power within a few minutes, then the battery shouldn't be dead. I did flash CM9 nightly last night coming from official Rogers ICS if that has anything to do with messing up battery stats.
In regards to the 30 day thing, my wife bought me the phone several months ago. I don't think I bought an extended warranty either.
What is this jig/jtag thing? I remember reading something about it a while back when I was using the HTC Dream.

a jtag is needed if there is no bootloader on the phone. no bootloader means a dead mobo black screen no recovery or download mode also jig wont work = dead mobo and jtag is required.
http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-jtag-brick-repair/
if you are interested in getting it jtaged.
also rogers will charge you a little to replace the phone but not much.
ohh forgot, a jig is a loop used to short 2 pins in the usb port to force the download mode.

full replacement if under 30 days otherwise a nominal fee will be required because it is software related not a hardware fail.
they will send him the phone but when they get the old one back and run ther tests thats when the fee will come in.
also the playing stupid trick might work as they will not even bother to check the phone but they might and he will get dinged.
i'm sure if he sends the phone in rogers will just send him a refurb rogers is pretty relaxed when it comes to customer service as i stated before i got two refurbs easy enough.

i sent my hard brick in 3 months after and they fixed it for free and checked it off as a faulty pcb. they just replaced the pcb and sent it back

well im sure with you phone it would be because the mobo is dead but if it were a smashed screen or something like that i don't know as i stated my two refurbs had previous owners **** on it.

Should I even bother trying to get my phone fixed with a jtagger? I prefer to keep my phone than swap for a refurb.
And do you guys know anyone who can do it locally? I live in Vancouver.

Hard Bricked...

Last ditch effort for a solution here.
I have a 16gb white that's been performing just fine... i did unlock the bootloader and root, but had no issues. That was several days ago. Today, I installed a flashlight app from the play store. (Droidlight LED Flashlight by Motorola). Once I ran the app, the camera LED came on for about 2 seconds, and then both the LED and the screen went dark. The battery was at about 80% when this happened.
The device is now completely non-responsive. Holding down the power button and any combination of keys does nothing, and there is no charging indicator when it's plugged in. I've never bricked a device before, surprised this seems to be caused by a play store app (although if it's truly bricked, I suspect some sort of power issue).
Thanks for any advice anyone can provide before I have to RMA this thing. Any Ideas?

Can you get into the bootloader? Hold Vol down + power
---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------
Nothing works? You might be the second brick of the day

You could try to remove the battery, maybe that'll help.
edit: ofc try RMA first.

Hook it to a charger for some time and then try to get in fastboot mode once in a while, then go to recovery and delete the cache and do a data factory reset and reboot. That is what i would do at least.

Can't get into the bootloader. I've tried the following combination of keys...
Vol+ and Power - nothing
Vol- and Power - nothing
Vol+, Vol- and Power - nothing
Power on it's own for 2+ minutes - nothing
---------
Contacted Google and they're getting me an RMA... regardless, I'd be careful about running that particular app, or possibly any flashlight app.

I think he means someone else started a thread as well indicating that they also had a bricked phone. I read that thread before I created this one, as mine wasn't related to fastboot or recovery. My brick occured from actions that occured during runtime, and root wasn't even acquired by the app that caused the failure.

No it doesn't happen unless you don't do your homework and screw something up. If you read and learn it's very hard to hardbrick your phone. But this is the second one I've seen today. In both cases there are unique reasons it happened.

I flash my Phone with custom ROMs since the beginning of the Nexus era. To root and to flash my Nexus one took me like 2 hours to complete it (I admit, that I received some help back then).
For me it doesn't look here like it happened because of anyone's fault. The phone is available since this week and he's already rooted. He doesn't look like someone, who is new to it.

drain and recharge
if you have a secondary phone use it for a few days and leave your Nex5 to drain. Should be completely drained in 2-3 days. Then charge it up and try to enter bootloader.
PS: you could also try to open the phone and manually disconnect and reconnect the battery...

I'm going to let the battery drain, but there's literally no power running through the phone right now, it's doing nothing. Something was fried, I'm afraid it will take a lot longer than 2-3 days for the battery to naturally drain.
I'd love to pop the back off and unplug the battery (that was my first thought) but I'm not doing anything to risk getting the phone replaced. I'll RMA it.

[Q] Bootloader bootloop problem

For a few days, my phone kept rebooting on and off. I thought maybe it was an unstable ROM or Kernel, and it was driving me crazy. No matter what ROM and Kernel I tried it kept doing it. I even restored the factory image to completely wipe everything on the phone and it still did it. Then less than a day later my phone just kept rebooting at the bootloader. I can't get it to the recovery or anything. I thought maybe it was a messed up power button, so I took it apart, removed the power button, put it back together and then tried to power it on with the button removed and it still reboots at the bootloader. How do I fix this? does it mean I have a bad motherboard?

It means your power button has problems (still after reassembly) or you have a motherboard issue.
Send it in for repair.

It does still sound like a bad power button. And if it keeps rebooting, you can't even try flashing stock. Tho, it's not software by the sounds of it.
Maybe take it to a repair center. Shouldn't be too much to fix.

I can tap the back of the phone a few times and it just reboots. A couple seconds into the boot animation, it shuts off.

Bad power button or battery connection may be lose and power is cutting in and out.

Nexus5bricked

Hello,
im new here.
My nexus 5 microphone was not working, therefore I opened it up, battery was around 12%; I patched it up and thereafter its not switching on. I have replaced the old battery with a new one, left it overnight on charge; still device is not getting on or responding to power or power+volume buttons booting option. My phone is not rooted. Connecting to the pc or laptop does not change anything. All I hear is a faint buzz from the open back of the phone indicating it is active. Need some help here seriously.

Do you see the charging animation when connected to a charger? Any indication the screen is lighting up? Possibly defective battery?

I do not see anything on the screen. It completely remains dark on charging (laptop/ wall sockets). On laptop under ports "device description failure" is the status.

Double-checked internal connections? Is possible an internal complement was damaged during the battery swap? Tried charging wirelessly or different cables and chargers?

I had been careful and internal components are unharmed because battery swapping was done without removing the motherboard. I dont have wireless chargers but I have used different cables.

Sounds like the phone may be bricked. The only way to really tell would be to put the motherboard into another working phone.

Yes, i have cleaned the power button.

What happens if you put the old battery back in place? Does the phone boots up? Because it's strange that a simply battery replacement bricked the device.

Sounds like you'll need to find a way to try the motherboard in another phone.

I've had this happen a few times. To start the phone I simply hold down the power button and the volume down button until the green robot screen shows up from which I simply start the phone. Perhaps this will work for you.
