Don’t worry, it probably didn’t actually brick it.
The very first day I had my Droid X I decide to download the OTA update to Android 2.2, the download was quick and painless, install seemed to go fine, at least until my Droid X restarted and seemingly got stuck on the Motorola logo screen.
Interestingly enough, if I moved my finger across the screen where the unlock button should be, the phone would vibrate. It would even ring if you called it, but it still only displayed the giant Motorola M.
Two things you can try to fix this. First:
- Take off the back cover
- Remove the battery
- Also remove the SD card
- Put the battery back in and restart the phone, leaving the SD card out
For me at least it booted fine, then I shut down, reinstalled the SD card and restarted again. All was back to normal.
If that fails and the unit still won’t boot past the M, remove and promptly reinstall the battery.
- Hold both the Home and Power button until you see the little Android / warning triangle.
- Press the Search key
- Using the Volume keys (up/down) highlight Factory Data Reset. Press the Camera button to select it.
- Tap Yes – delete all user data; then OK.
- After 1-2 minutes the process should finish. Double check that “reboot system now” is highlighted, then tap OK.
