How do you wipe the from recovery. I have the mytouch and my manager has one too. Her phone won't boot past the android logo. So I want to wipe the phone. I held the power button and home key. It shows the ! with the phone but can figure out where to go from there. Any help would be great.

So I picked an A7 last night at compusa. I tried to install the rom so I can run the google market place after rebooting it would just flash elocity on the screen and then reboot. So I got booted in to recovery mode and went to re-flash it with the latest firmware. Now when I power it on on the screen powers on for a split second and then powers down and I can't get it in to recovery mode. Well It's going back to the store to get exchanged. Any ideas on when I did wrong so I won't do it to the next one?
Only press and hold bottom power for 10-15 seg
Press and hold the power button for 15-25 seconds till you see the robot, then touch the home to enter recovery.
search: move up
return: move down
home: enter recovery
menu: select
MAKE SURE you clear the cache before and after ROM installation. You may have to do system wipe (factory reset) as well.

I did the same thing to mine. I did not clear the old data out before i flashed the new. After I cleared data out and reflashed it was fine.
Press power like you were turning on the device until the green lights come on
Release, then press (and hold?) power until you see "Hold Power for Recovery Mode" on the screen
Release, then press and hold power again until you see the recovery menu start to boot
It will reboot to an android with an exclamation point, this is the recovery menu
Then to navigate this screen, use HOME to display the menu text, Search = Up, Back = Down, Menu = enter.
go down and wipe data/reset
it will confirm thats what you want to do
then get back to menu and apply sdcard: update zip
it will do a little bit then go up to reboot system now
and apply and it
hope that helps
So I tried for several hours last night to get in to recovery mode. All I could do was get the screen to flash for a split second then stay blank. Took it back to the compUSA store today and they exchanged it no questions asked. So I tried flashing the mod again today something on the getting to the elocity screen and rebooting. But I got it back in to recovery reset it to factory defaults and flashed it to the newest firmware update and I was good. So the newest update comes with apps that can only be bought in the marketplace.. What is up with that?

got it to work thanks.. still not sure why the first one wouldn't boot or go in to recovery.. but I'm good now.
I am having the same issues. When i boot and hold down the power and vol up button, i just get the motorola logo and it sticks there until I pull the battery. I tried to go to bootstrapper and when i click on reboot recovery, nothing happens. When I click on Bootstrap recovery, it give an error where it looks like i need to root the phone.
All I want to do is get this phone to the factory settings as it has Gingerbread on it now. If you can send me something on how to do that, please let me know.
I did backup using clockwork, but since I can't boot into it, i can't restore.
Thanks
is your phone rooted? if not, then bootstrap wont work, and that also means clockwork wont work. to get back to factory, your going to have to flash the sbf, heres a vid on it:

by the way, you dont get into recovery with volume up, you do it by pressing the x button on the keyboard when booting up, then pressing the magnifying glass button once in recovery.
So wait will or won't the phone actually turn on? If it'll turn on just do a factory data reset in android from the menu.
after rooting and unlocking and installing gingerbread (or i think i did) my atrix is going crasy and is not staring but keep looping.
can someone helpmeee please
boot into recovery and wipe data
turn off phone. hold volume down while turning on. once you see rsd, scroll all the way to android recovery, then press volume up.
once you see the android logo with !, press both volume up and down at the same time, you should see the option to wipe, and press power to wipe and reboot
still the same
i allready did it but any ways i just did it again, but the result is tha same my phone keeps going off. it start with the logo (M) and them goes off and start again, is there some thing else i can do to bring it back to life??
I used sbf_flash in linux to flash the 602 sbf image from verizon (My carrier). This worked as expected, and I was able to root the phone from there. I installed Rom manager and Droid 2 bootstrap, and took a backup image.
I should point out that Rom manager would not take an image on its own, it only rebooted the phone, I had to use the menu in droid 2 bootstrap to create the backup.
I installed the miui rom, and after a while decided to switch back, but Rom Manager and Droid 2 bootstrap wouldn't work. (I've heard you're not supposed to use bootstrap from miui. It rebooted my phone and seemed to have erased my phone's data).
I tried to sbf flash my phone again to get back to stock gingerbread, but now it boots in a loop at the red ball logo. If I hold home and the volume buttons when pressing power to get to recovery mode, the triangle appears but no menu loads.
Am I stuck? Please tell me that something can be done with ADB or some other recovery tool.
EDIT:
Nevermind I was following the Froyo instructions to get into recovery mode I needed to to follow the gingerbread instructions:
Froyo Instructions:
take out battery and reinsert
hold the home key and the power button when turning on
press search to get into recovery
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
reboot
NOTE: the volume up/down are move up down; camera is select; and power is go back.
Gingerbread Instructions:
Pull the battery and reinstall
Hold home and power as you turn it on
Press both volume keys simultaneously at the droid/triangle screen
Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache
Reboot
NOTE: the volume up/down are move up down; power is select; back key moves back
Yeah I was gonna say to wipe everything in recovery if you could then try download mode but you got it ha.
I know what to do! Disable USB debugging and it will work. rememeber to enable it back once finished.
Edit:
Oh. I thought you have problems getting to cwm.

So I just finished unrooting my device via kingoroot (I've done it a 3 times and they were all fine) and I just hold my power button to restart device. However, it never stops restarting. The animation of the logo is still playing with blue sparkles coming in and out.
I took the battery out and and put it back in. I powered it by pressing the power button, home button, and volume up button and I wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset, and then i reboot system, but I'm still stuck in logo animation still going on. Any help? (Also, please use simple everyday language because I'm kind of a tech noob so I won't understand if you're using abbreviations/unfamilliar terms, first time posting here)

Hi,
It may be possible that something got corrupted in the process of unrooting. You will have to flash your firmware in ODIN to get your device working again.
