[Help] Hit NVFLASH on accident and now phone will not turn on

[calvin398]

I was trying to factory reset it from the boot menu but accidentally hit the nvflash option. Now my phone won't boot and it isn't being recognized when I plug it into my computer. What do I need to do??

you sure its charged fully? motorola has a feature that when COMPLETELY DEAD, you have to plug it into a wall outlet to get full charging voltage before it turns back on..

I think there were a lot of originally "bricked" phones that had this happen.. its been a practice of moto since way back.

ps-

this should be in Q&A

Sorry, could a mod move this to Q&A?

It had about 40% battery when I did it, and when I plug it into the wall the green light doesn't turn on, so I'm not sure if it's charging.

leave it plugged in for a while. go drink and beer and come back, should be on. if not, battery pull, rinse, repeat

Awesome, thanks for the help. Hopefully it's charging even if it's not being acknowledged.

just make sure you have it hooked to a wall outlet and not PC. Same thing happend to me with a different device. I thought I had bricked a friends cliq one night cause it died on me after rooting it. i kept pluggin it in to PCs over and over, then I dunno why but I plugged it in to the wall. About 5 minutes later it came on all on its own and started showing a charge light.

If you have not done this yet, Pull battery, put battery back in then charge.

Motorola phones are strange... but listen to me, I've revived a bunch of Motos with this method.

1. Get your Atrix
2. Be sure that you've got a pair of hands
3. Pull the battery out of your Atrix
4. Sleep
5. When you'll get up in the morning, put the battery in your Atrix and power it up.
6. Enjoy.

You didnt do anything that blackscreen is not off its nvflash, you dont have acess to it . Just pull battery and putback in and boot up

I bricked my Atrix with flashing SBF with 4.9 RSD phone battery died all the way, when I plugged it back it in the wall the phone came back to life

Yeah, Moto has got some strange procedures..... SO strange.... but at least these methods are working
