Droid Razr Maxx stuck in boot loop

Chela2004

A few days ago my droid razr max essentially died . I went to my local Verizon and purchased a new device but I have

been unable to recover all of the photos and other data from the old device. I've somehow managed to get the device to turn on but it is now stuck booting and will not load past the red eye. I am wondering if there is anything that I can do to get out of the boot loop without deleting or damaging the file saved to the device.

Chela2004,

Thank you for reaching out to us. I am sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your device not starting. We certainly want you to be able to retain the information on the phone. What exact information are you looking to extract? If you had an sd card in the old phone, pictures should be saved on their. As for contacts, those would either be saved with your google account you had with the phone, or with our application Backup Assistant plus. You can try to run the phone in safe mode to bypass the red eye screen http://vz.to/159K41E. Please fill us in on how this works and what you are needing to move from phone to phone.

Thank you,

If your pictures are on the SD card of your phone that Died you can pull out the SD card from that phone and stick into your replacement phone or you can Take the pictures from that SD card and put it on your PC using a Card reader...

It sounds like the rest of the pictures were stored on the internal memory space.

Hey Chela2004,

I was hoping that safe mode would work. Thanks for trying. At this time the only way to get past the red eye screen would be to try an alternate hard reset,http://vz.to/GVac84. This would set the phone back to its default settings and would erase everything that has been saved on the device.

If the pictures weren't backed up anyother way we will not be able to restore those other pictures. I apologize for the inconvenience.
