Need Help Please

Fox, when we try to use option 1 it says cannot find specified path....can you tell me why? what am I doing wrong? We do still have the battery issue...works plugged in we are able to get to the recovery and ap fastboot...can this be done via SD card as the phone goes to 0 battery when plugged into the computer....

First, you have to extract the entire zip file to the c:\ root directory of your computer's hard drive, and then in the folder it creates, right click on the .bat file and choose to send to desktop as a shortcut. Then run the shortcut from the desktop and it will be able to successfully find the files and folder.

Okay Fox, did as you suggested and it would have worked except for the low battery issue...as long as it is plugged into the wall it stays on and right now it has a triangle with a yellow explanation point and a little droid guy. We put things on the SD card and tried to use option one that way....so far no luck. I've looked for the Motorola Factory USB cord online as I am not talented enough technically to make my own, and have found several on ebay but not sure they are trustable....Any suggestions? I just get the feeling that if we could get past either the e-signature verification fail or if the phone would stay on long enough it would all be okay....

I'll be back a little after 9pm EST and then back to bed as I gget up at 4:30am to drive a school bus, lol, that's why I was awake so early this morning!

Hugs, Angel

I gotta say, I love your "Hugs". It brings a much needed smile to me each time I see it.

I am presently at the hospital with my wife and 93 year old father-in-law who lives with us. He fell out of bed last night and broke his right hip. He's being operated on tomorrow morning. My wife is a cancer patient and today was supposed to be her last Chemo treatment. Unfortunately she contracted an infection, has inflammation, will now be on antibiotics and will undergo a procedure tomorrow to relieve the swelling. As a result, her Chemo was postponed to next Thursday.

I won't even go into another situation that took place yesterday night which only served to add stress to an already stressful night. To say it's been an eventful 24 hours is a huge understatement. Any pleasantries are a welcome event.

I will help you in any way I can. We just need to get that battery charged or get you a Factory Programming cable fashioned. I suspect the son had learned a valuable lesson...

I'll catch up with you this evening. Hugs back at ya! Phil

What is a USB MicroB Plug Breakout Board? Is this possibly an easier way to make the Motorola factory cable?

What is a USB MicroB Plug Breakout Board? Is this possibly an easier way to make the Motorola factory cable?

A breakout board is exactly what you think it is. It's a board that brings connections on a terminating cable, such as the end of a USB plug and takes it to a series of open connections on the middle of the board, then the same would be on the other side, giving you the option of changing the endpoint of pins on the opposite end of one cable to terminate on different pins on the end of the opposing cable.

It would make creating a Motorola USB Factory cable quite easy. Frankly I never thought of it but knew of them. Just shows how we all can help each other!! Way to go! :icon_ banana:

See USB MicroB Plug Breakout Board - SparkFun Electronics for the one that would plug into the phone, and Breakout Board for USB microB - SparkFun Electronics to go from the end of the stock Motorola cable to the terminals. As an alternative, you can use USB A Female Breakout Board with Screw Terminals - Winford Engineering for the other end to go from a USB-A cable (standard cable that plugs into a computer USB Port).

Sorry, made the assumption that the information on the boards was understood. The first two which are the MicroUSB type are plated solder connections. The third which accepts USB-A plug is screw terminals. Would have liked to see a screw variety for the MicroUSB version.

You may get away with just feeding the writes through and twisting them off. Here's a guide for the respective pin configurations.

Hope this helps.

Fox, I am still here but have not been able to get things fixed yet...Was waiting on a guy from PC Solutions here in Gallipolis to get back to me and he never did...if I order the cord would you be willing to walk me through? I know it will not get here for like two weeks bbecause I have to order it from Japan...:/

hugs, Angel

 

[CaringAngel]

Foxcat??? I had a cord fashioned by the guy at our pc solutions store and he used the directions from these forums....now, When I plug it into the Droid Razr Maxx and then plug it into my usb port on my laptop, the screen goes black on the laptop and nothing happens with the phone....What am I doing wrong? It's possible the guy made the cord wrong...is there anyone on these forums that would be willing to make the cord and allow me to pay them as BlackHat is always out of stock and oirdering from Hong Kong will take two weeks.,,,:/

Any help would be appreciated....Perhaps I am doing things wrong with the phone but when yoiu plug it into thr wall the red motorola insignia comes on and says dual core technology....

Huggggggggggggggggggggggggggggssss and thank you, Angel

CA, the cord was not intended to be used with the USB port of the computer, it's to be used with the Wall Adapter. The USB port doesn't put out enough current to have the desired effect. Also, by shorting the two pins on the USB plug, it's essentially back-shorting the laptop's USB jack and pulling down the voltages on the laptop, which is causing the screen to go black.



Get the original STOCK MOTOROLA charging block and use that with the cable. The cable is FIRST intended to charge, although if it was crafted incorrectly it won't allow data transmission so you may have a bad cable, or it may charge but not work for the Fastboot flashing. Allow the red logo screen to continue without interruption, and in about 10 seconds it should either change to the Charge only screen (large animated battery), or it may boot, or it may not change at all since this was a buggered up flash from before. Don't worry, let it sit for at least an hour or two, then come back, disconnect the cable and see if you can pick up where you left off, assuming the battery has received 50% or better of charge.

You DO still have the STOCK cable, don't you? That will be the cable you use to do the flashing.

Okay, Yes I do have the stock block and stock cable!!! We are now plugging our cord into the stock block and going to see what happens next....

 

[CaringAngel]

Plugged the cord into the stock cable and plugged it in, nothing happens. No lights, no Motorola symbol...black as can be....

Ok, just to clarify, the Factory cable you just had fashioned will be used to boost the battery back to the levels needed for the flashing with the Droid RAZR Utility.

The Motorola Stock cable will be used to do the flashing once the battery has enough juice.
