Log in screen loops, phone won't start up.

[Scriptur]

While powering up my phone after charging it, i noticed that the start up screen where it spells out Droid and then switches to the little red symbol had been looping. Repeating the process over and over. I took the battery out, tried starting it while on the charger. Phone just wont start up.

Hello Scriptur,

I understand the urgency of your concern. I would like you to please complete a soft reset of your device. Please do not have it connected to the charger for this troubleshooting. I have listed the steps below.

Remove the battery while the phone is powered ON

Wait 60 seconds

Re-attach the battery and power the phone ON

If this does not resolve your concern and you cannot power your phone on, please feel free to send me a private message. I will be happy to assist you further. 

I hope this information is helpful. Have a wonderful day!

I am having the same problem, and a soft reset isn't helping.  If a solution is found, please let me know!

If a soft reset is not working, the next step is a factory reset. 

For the Droid 2

• Turn off the phone
• Power on phone while pressing "X" key on qwerty keypad - release "X" and power key after you see Motorola batwings.
• You should now see an "!" in a triangle with Android guy
• Press the "Search" key on qwerty keypad to enter factory menu, this will unhide the menu and show the following options
  1. Reboot system Now
  2. Apply sdcard:update.zip
  3. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
  4. Wipe Cache Partition
• Use Vol Up / Vol down to navigate to "wipe data/factory reset" and then use Camera side key or Menu key to select "wipe data/factory reset"
• Use Vol Up / Vol down to navigate to  "Yes delete all user data" and then use Camera key to select "Yes - delete all user data"

1. Wait for operation to complete (maybe 1 minute or so) and then press camera key to select "reboot system now"
