Was your phone fully charged before you started?

Yes, I made sure of that. The phone just froze and then went blank.

Can you get into bootloader ? Or just nothing?

I think that flash you got there is for V3i non-iTune.

Nothing, the computer won't recognize the phone.

Try going into bootloader mode, then reflash a monster pack from there.

You might have corrupted the flash rom on your phone. Get into BL mode and reflash with an R47A MP.

Ahhh! I have the same problem except R479_G_08.B4.38R
Whenever I try to power on, the keypad flashes once and nothing happens!
Please help me! How do I go into bootloader mode? I hope I can get that at least!

I just had a big scare myself the other night when I was messing around with my V3. Don't try to hack your phone 1 AM when you're feeling tired and start to misread things.

First off, yes, it is true that the battery will not charge if the memory has been corrupted. Luckily for me, my phone had the problems with a full charge.

The best thing to do it to start the phone with the * and # buttons pressed down as you turn the phone on. This should bring up the bootloader screen. Look and see what version bootloader you have. Mine happened to be BL0826. Go to http://www.planetmotox.net and download a monster pack that corresponds with your Razr V3 series phones and the same BL. I noticed that when I tried to flash my phone with a monster pack that had a different BL version, it wouldn't continue onto the flashing section.

I was able to flash my phone with a monsterpack that had BL0826 after multiple attempts with other monsterpacks. Here's the funny part. It took almost 10 attempts to finally take with this particular pack. When I started flashing, it would stall during Group 1 Code flash, then Group 2 Code flash then during the checksum verification. Each time I would attempt the flash, it would proceed further into the flash process until eventually, my flash was successful. It was as if it would come across something it didn't like in the memory and then stall. The next flash would get it over the hump until it would stall again.

The MP I used was a little less satisfactory. For some reason, some pages didn't load when browsing and the video function wasn't available. I then flashed with monster pack R374_G_0E.42.10R and I now have an unbranded V3 with video capabilities and no browsing problems. When I flashed with this one, it took with the first attempt.

I used RSD Lite to flash my phone. All other attempts with FlashBackup were unsuccessful and I heard FB might even screw up your phone even more when flashing. As always do a complete and a PSD backup of your phone first before attempting any of this stuff.

I don't know why, but someone told me NOT to flash your phone with a reflash file unless you want a brick. Flash it with a monsterpack. I'm not sure what reflashing a V3 with a reflash file will do.
