I tried installing gingerbread keyboard and now x is stuck in force close of multitouch keyboard. Did full reset...nothing. How can I set it back to stock and start over. I recently had to get a new memory card so I have no back up file to restore from.
Wipe data/cache in recovery. If that doesn't work, then break out the ole sbf file.

Here's what user systemadminx posted on doing a factory reset in another thread....
Power off your phone. Then hold down the home button while pressing the power button. When the little android image shows up, press the search button. Then go down to wipe data/factory reset (move highlighted selection using volume up/down buttons) and select the factory reset option by pressing the camera button.

I'm not sure that that is the correct .SBF since it was posted in October.. If you are running Android system .320 or .320 then you want to use the full .320 sbf
You're right, here's a link for .320

Whenever I try and boot into clockwork recovery via bootstrapping, once past the "M" screen, the screen goes black. I've re-flashed recoveries via rom manager (yes i am a premium user) I have SBF'ed like 10 times today, in hopes and trying to get a perfect install yet something always goes wrong
Right after the SBF, when phone reboots, reboot back into recovery (home and power) and clear cache/data. See if that helps at all
I've never had much luck with ROM Manager.
Try downloading 'Droid 2 Bootstrapper' from the market.
After installing it press the 'Bootstrap Recovery' button. Press 'ok'.
Now press the 'Reboot Recovery' button and let the phone reboot.
(Be sure to get DROID2 bootstrap not DROIDX bootstrap.)

ROM manager is not able to do much for the droid x. Use other apps
I am having the same problem. A customer's daughter was using my phone and somehow opened the Rom recovery. When the phone rebooted it now loads to the boot screen says droid and restarts. I can't seem to get it into bootloader to recover the phone. Any ideas?

Try pulling the battery.
Place it back in the phone and hold the power button and home button simultaneously.
When the image of the DROID with an exclamation mark comes up press the search button. When the recovery menu comes up choose to wipe data. Navigate with the volume rockers and select with the power button.
(If you have Gingerbread installed you will press the volume rockers instead of the search button to enter Recovery Mode.)
This should fix your problem.

I've tried that but when it restarts it just goes through the same process over and over. The only way to stop it is to pull the battery.

So after you wipe data you still bootloop?

So I got a replacement phone that came with GB and I'm trying to flash a froyo SBF so that I can do a nandroid restore. After flashing, I'm stuck at the red M screen. Before I've had to wipe data and clear cache and that seemed to fix things and the phone would boot. To get into recovery before, you would boot up holding down pwr+menu to get the yellow triangle w/ the ? screen, then press search. Pressing search doesn't do anything now. Any ideas?

Press the volume buttons and it will get you into recovery...if your backup is from froyo you will have to do a full sbf back down to froyo

He's right about the SBF. However if you see the android, you are already in recovery. Pressing both volume buttons only shows the menu.
Does anyone know what this could be? I can't do it holding any of the buttons or from reom manager

Power phone off , power phone on , once you see the magldr screen , press and hold power , then using volume buttons scroll down and select "AD Recovory"
If you can't get into recovery your recovery is probably broken. If you tried the above post and you can't get into recovery mode you probably flashed clockwork mod via rom manager (this breaks the recovery) or did something else to damage the recovery. Download the sd recovery method via this post and follow the instructions as well:

Can you boot into recovery now? Make a backup via CWM and reinstall CWM if any problem persists.

Hi,

Use HTC HD2 Toolkit to wipe (bottom left) given in the thread.
CAUTION: It will DELETE everything.

Hey guys, long timer lurker but finally got an account today! But I'm afraid I don't come bearing good news
Little backstory: I had bought my sexy Nexy within the first 30 sec. that online orders were opened in the U.S. (and I managed to snag this puppy during class just in time). Suffice to say, I love my phone. Never rooted it, never blinged it out, as stock as they come.
Unfortunately, last night my phone was sitting on my desk and I noticed it had restarted by itself. Come to find out that it won't get past the bootloader screen (where the 4 google circles dance around, sorta like drunk hippies dancing in a field. Best analogy I could think of ). I've been searching online, and I've been finding a lot of mixed solutions to fix this issue. And even most of those applied only to rooted phones, or to people who bricked theirs while rooting.
I had backed my phone's data about a month ago, but my last month's worth of photos (mom & pops' 25th anniversary, mom's b-day, a bunch of awesome events with my friends, parties, etc) never got a chance to be backed up. Since I know how awesome the N4 forum is on here, I wanted help from you guys in regards to what I can do in order to backup/recover my data (or at least, the photos). I don't want to do a factory reset because I fear it would just wipe all data, and of course connecting it to my computer while it's stuck inevitably on the bootloader screen doesn't do anything.
Some important things to note/which might help:
I got the 4.4.3 update a few days ago, not sure if that did anything.
App sideloading is enabled on my phone (however, I'm not sure if I ever enabled the developed mode on my phone).
What options do I have in regards to recovering my pics/data from my poor Nexy?
I'm sorta willing to try anything at this point, because from what I've read, an eventual factory reset is inevitable.
Thanks for your help! :highfive:
Hi there,
Dont factory reset just yet. Are u able to go to recovery? If so, try just wiping cache and dalvik cache then reboot system.
Dont think your bricked.
Good luck and cheers.

Hi! Would you mind walking me step-by-step through how I can go into recovery mode and wipe the cache/dalvik cache and then reboot? I don't want to mess up any steps and make my situation worse lol. What will the recovery-mode screen look like, and what options should I stay away from?

Turn off your phone. When it's off, power it on by pressing the power button and volume up button. It should bring you into recovery mode. Navigate using the volume buttons and select options using the power button.
If there's an option to "Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache", choose that and you won't lose anything, first boot will take a while.
If there isn't any Wipe Cache option, there should be a "Wipe Data" option, this will reset the phone but things in the SD Card SHOULD NOT be erased (at least in custom recovery).
Can't provide screenshot cuz you can't do that on recovery mode and I've never use stock recovery.
Good luck.

@ uchihakurtz beat me to it:thumbup:
Well explaned, except for one thing:
Once u pushed power + volume up u will end up in bootloader mode. From here navigate with volume key to recoverymode and press powerbutton. Now u will end up booting to recoverymode. In here u can choose "wipe cache" and "wipe dalvikcache".
Good luck.

So, if I have this correct, once the phone's off:
1) Press POWER and VOLUME + button at the same time to enter bootloader mode
2) Using VOLUME +/- key to navigate to RECOVERY MODE option
3) Press POWER button to select RECOVERY MODE option
4) Inside RECOVERY MODE, navigate to WIPE CACHE and WIPE DALVIK CACHE using VOLUME +/- button
Is that correct? And in step 1, is it POWER and VOLUME + or POWER and VOLUME - to go into bootloader mode? I keep seeing Power & Volume - in several threads when it comes to booting into recovery mode.
And secondly, should my phone be connected to my laptop during this entire process? Or just have the phone solo and foreveralone :crying: by itself?
Finally, once I complete Step 4, will me phone restart automatically or will I have to power it down + power it back up again?
Thanks!

Will this work even though my phone's stuck in the bootloader loop? From the gist of it, that post makes it seems as if your phone needs to be able to actually work in order to unlock the stock bootloader using that method along with Android SDK + Android SDK Platform tools.
Thanks again for the help!

If your bootloader is locked you're going to have a problem. With it locked there's no way you're going to be able to recover your files. Adb will work if you can boot into recovery

Thanks for your help, I'm not extremely familiar with rooting/using ADB, etc so I'm having a huge panic attack.
What would you recommend is the best course of action? If I choose to pursue using ADB to backup my phone's data, would you please mind pointing me to the noob-friendly threads (or even help me yourself by holding my hand along the process ) for:
1) Step-by-step of how to properly install Android SDK and 1.a) How to enable ADB functionality?
2) How to correctly enter Recovery mode on my N4 (button combos) and whether I should attempt to wipe cache/Dalvik?
3) How to use Android SDK/ADB to backup my data from my nexus 4?
Again, I really appreciate your help. As you can imagine, I'm really worried about losing photos of some huge moments in my life and I'm slightly overwhelmed at the different methods people seem to be using (and trying to figure out whether those apply to me). Thanks.

To setup adb. Google 15 second adb drivers xda. That'll give you everything you need.
To boot into recovery you need to boot into the bootloader. Vol down plus power button. Then use the vol keys to navigate to recovery

Great, I'll give that a try and let you know how it goes.
I had a general question: When I boot into recovery, how do I find out if I have USB debugging enabled? Is there some way for me to find out if I did indeed enable it a while ago (I can't quite remember)?
And if I enter Recovery mode, is there a way for me to exit this mode and turn my phone off/restart it (or do I HAVE to select one of the options?) I want to go in and see if I have USB debugging enabled first, and then turn my phone off without wiping any caches, etc, and then download + setup ADB.
Thanks!

After entering recovery and wiping both caches there is an option to reboot system. U can use this to boot your phone back up again.
(Sorry, it indeed is vol down + power button to enter bootloader menu) my bad
