Hello, I have had my droid razr m for a while now, having bought it off of ebay for cheap (great little phone), the only problem it has is that it comes with the 98.30.1 update which, from what I remember from fiddling with the phone a couple months ago, locks the bootloader partition.

 

At some point, I acquired root somehow (there's a way to do with the locked bootloader, from my understanding they aren't related, correct?). I am also using safestrap (version 3.11, twrp 2.2.2.1 according to SS menu) with a ROM that was posted on the xdaforum, it is a deodexed from here

The reason I'm only now facing my issue with "fastboot reason: flash failure" is that I am going traveling without my laptop, so if I run out of power completely I cannot reboot my phone (the way I'm doing it now is plugging into my computer, and hitting "fastboot continue" from cmd). This could become a major problem.

So my question is really, is there a way to force the phone to continue booting from completely dead without a computer, or is there a way to get rid of this annoying flash failure fastboot screen?

 

Other information:

AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S)

Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0

Low Battery

 

Edit:

the other thing I've found is that when the battery is "low", and I plug in my phone to charge the green indicator light comes on for a bit, then the fastboot error message comes up and the phone stops charging.

 

Thanks!

You cant use Fastboot with a low battery unless you are willing to have possible complete failure. So first get it charged up.

 

Second, the Fastboot Flash Failure generally means something didnt flash correctly. Usually just flashing something like the boot logo will do the trick

 

fastboot flash logo logo.bin

Or if the fastboot reason says sticky bit - you can use this -
