~help~ Flash Mode?? Phone Wont Turn On....

[qrasflk4]

Hello all,

I was on my phone last night and it shut off (battery died) so I charged it over night with the USB data cable and when I turned it one this morning I got an error message saying:

Motorola Flash Mode
Bootloader Version:
Boot_C_03.05.00R_MPAP
USB Cable Connected

I tryed to take out the battery for a few min. and that was no help.
I also tryed to do a manual reset by holding down the middle (sliver) button, No luck.
I also try to reinstall the Moto updates, nothing is working..

Please help!!

I'm having this same problem. My phone died, and next time it came on it was in this 'Flash Mode', I remember I had tried to update it earlier, but it hadn't worked but the phone was fine afterwards until it died.

I figured I could just get a charged battery (the phone won't charge a battery in Flash Mode), and redo the update, but so far that hasn't worked.

I think I'm past my 30 days, and I don't think I should have to pay for this.

My sprint Q woke up this morning to this screen..

Motorola Flash Mode
Bootloader Version:
BOOT_C_03.05.00R_MPAP

Please connect the USB cable


Doesn't do anything else....

yea, what scuba advised.. most likely it's dead.

try taking it back to Sprint. At worst they say you have to send it back to moto under warranty or at best they just swap it out for you. You won't know what they will/won't do for you until you try...

I ended up taking mine back to the store. It was past the 30 days, and I wasnt under insurance, but they ended up just charging me $35 for an out of insurance in store replacement.

According to both my provider, Alltel, and Motorola Q support tech, YOU're out of luck. This has happened to me with 3 Q's now, and a similar thread was posted last month giving several methods of getting the Q out of boot loader/flash mode. None of them worked for me. A tech person with Motorola told me today that it is caused by running too many applications, (which I didn't know were running on mine). It crashes like a computer blue screen with too many apps running. Go to task manager and shut down apps. As for your current one, which will not restart, you're in my boat.....get another replacement, as you cannot restart it nor can you retrieve any lost data. Hopefully, you won't go thru 3, like me, now 4!!
