Stuck In Boot Loop

[christim]

its about half

And if it was plugged in and now booted up that is what happened. It has charged enough to get out of the boot cycle. Fuller charge next time

First off, I'm not rooted or anything and haven't done anything special to my phone.
When I turned it off tonight, it attempted to turn itself back on. However it only got to the "M" screen and shut back off again..... Before doing this over, and over. It hasn't stopped for about 30 minutes now. Attempted to fastboot into recovery, did nothing. I contacted Motorola but they're useless and told me to factory reset which I refuse to do.
Right now I'm hoping this battery will just kill itself so I can sleep. Any ideas what I can do with it though, or what's wrong?

Did it ever stop boot looping?

 

[deadudea]

It did. I left it in the fastboot menu, so I'm not sure if it just timed out and shut down or the battery died. Still won't turn on however...

Went to Verizon, they're sending me a new one. Can't even factory reset it. Does anyone know of a way I can access my files on it still or is it too late? No removable battery, no SD card... Didn't think it would be that big of a deal.
If I plug in the phone to the computer and load up the fastboot menu it won't detect the phone on my computer... Is there any possible way around this? I have a feeling there is but I'm not sure how to go about it.

You'd have to have ADB & fastboot setup on your computer 1st. I'll post some info for that when I get off work

Edit : Here's the fastboot I use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33228220&postcount=1
This is where I got ADB from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

I really appreciate that. They're downloading at the moment. Doing this won't change anything though correct? I'm supposed to send the phone back after I receive the new one so I'm assuming if the software is tampered with they won't accept it.

The Android ADT is interesting, I've heard about it for writing apps and I've used Eclipse before.. I'm sure there's threads for it but how exactly do I go about using these tools to do what I'm trying to do?

You can probably get by with using just fastboot. This can change things, but you won't be using it for that. You'll just be trying to pull stuff. I'll post back with the commands in a bit

You might need to install these drivers: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/88481

And it looks like fastboot is only good for flashing, not pulling

This is the output I get when trying to pull system\media. You can see in the command window the commands fastboot will recognize

 

[deadudea]

Yeah I see what you mean.. ish. I'm assuming getVar or boot wouldn't do anything either?
