Fixing a Motorolla Droid?
So I found a Motorola Droid on a park bench yesterday. I think someone left it because it's not working properly, but I was hoping I might be able to fix it.
The problem is that when I turn it on, the phone hangs indefinitely on the Motorola logo screen. I booted into system recovery and wiped all the data and did a factory reset, but I'm still having the same problem.
Does anyone know if there's any hope in getting this thing working, or know of a website that could help? I did some searching but with no luck.
Thanks.

Turn it on while holding UP on the directional pad. If it gets into the bootloader screen, it can be fixed.
modmymobile.com (formerly modmymoto) is pretty good site.
You will likely need to re-flash it:

Re: Fixing a Motorolla Droid?
It was just sitting there on the bench with no one around, what can I say? I left a note with my email address if anyone came back looking for it. But like I said, the thing isn't working so they might have left it on purpose.alpha wrote:and who finds a droid on a park bench, man up if you stole that shit.

I'm having another issue now as well which might be related...I let the battery drain overnight, and now the thing won't stay powered unless it's plugged in, even if its been charging for several hours.
Thanks for the help. Maybe the problem is with the battery?

Any Micro USB charger will not do. It likely needs to be a Motorola charger.
-Most non-Moto chargers will not charge Motorola products.
-Motorola chargers will charge just about any device

Re: Fixing a Motorolla Droid?
When it's plugged in, the display turns on and the Motorola logo appears. There is no battery indicator or anything like that, just the logo. So I guess perhaps it is not charging properly.bmurf75 wrote:

Hmmm this might be the problem. I was just using an old LG charger.bmurf75 wrote:Any Micro USB charger will not do. It likely needs to be a Motorola charger.

I am in here helping to resolve an issue. The information that I provided will restore that Droid back to life. I'm pretty sure of that. You, on the other hand, added nothing to this thread whatsoever and it was you started the name calling. So, start contributing and stop being a baby.Thun wrote:Gucci, is this the crowd you really want to be down with?bmurf75 wrote:You're calling me queer and you're the one with the iPhone...
