Stuck on M? No REAL Solution

[wrightperspective]

So here is what is going on. I got the M during reboot after the 2.2 update. After a long battery pull it started working. But now every time the phone shuts down I get the M, just sitting there when I power back up. The phone actually will ring when I get a call or text. I even turned the phone off by pressing the power button and pressing on the screen where the Turn Phone Off would normally display - so that means the phone thinks the screen is up - but it isn't - all I have is the M.

I called Verizon and even went into the store to no avail. We tried factory reset, wiping the cache and anything else we could do. Their solution is to send me another phone, now. I even called Motorola and they had no solution. The problem is that I am worried that I may have the same issue with that one, which will be here Friday.

So, I want to find out how many other people have this problem. You may not even know about it because you never shut your phone down. So, try turning your phone off and then turning it back on and let me know if you get stuck with the M (If you dare risk it). If it gets stuck, you can pull the battery for a little while and put it back in and it should be good. I just want to know how widespread this problem is.

You got next day? Man - they sent mine 2-day so I won't have it until tomorrow. If anyone gets a replacement today because of this issue, please let us know if you have the issue on the replacement, too.

Happened on Droid 1

The same exact thing happened to me on my Droid 1. I updated to 2.2 OTA (same exact time as two others). They completed theirs no issue and mine got stuck on the M screen. Tried waiting for an hour, tried taking the battery out, even called verizon and they talked me trhough a factory reset.... nothing. Needed to get a replacement Droid.

Recently upgraded to the Droid X, and just updated to 2.2. No issues yet.

that sucks!

I had the same problem with my original X, no matter which 2.2 leaked rom I tried, 9 outta 10 reboots, I'd get stuck on the dreaded 'M'. I had other problems so I got a replacement about 2 weeks ago. The replacement reboots perfectly, even when I had root and installed leaked 2.2's.

I SBF'd back to 2.1 before the release of OTA 2.2 and haven't had any 'M' problems.

^^Same here with the SBF. Did it before I updated (had some stuff still on the phone from when I was previously rooted and forgot to take some theme stuff off. Kept failing). Works great. I'm wondering if it was something to do with the phone being rooted (like, how many people that have this problem were rooted)? Or maybe it was just a flaw, idk

I had this problem on a non rooted phone. Called Verizon yesterday and got a tracking # today for a refurb arriving tomorrow. Really sucks. Scared to upgrade the new one.
