Ok so I have been running the Dexter mod version 1.2 on my elocity, and I got brave and decided to update to v1.41. After installing I am stuck at a screen that says "Booting recovery kernel image". I have been trying to find a solution to this, but I feel a bit in over my head, as I am quite new to this. Can anyone help or point me in the right direction of a fix if there is one? I'm not exactly a tech genius but I can follow step-by-step instructions Anyone?
Make sure the file size of your .zip is 104mb
Could have been a bad download.
Re-download, make sure to check file size.
Start from scratch. Making sure to do the wipe/factory reset and clear cache.
Hope it helps. Bricks are so much less entertaining than tablets.
My .zip is showing as 110mb even after downloading again
Since I am stuck at the "booting recovery kernel image" screen I haven't been able to get back to the recovery menu...is there a way to force?

If you hold the power button in for about 15 seconds it will turn off and you can restart the process.
Hope this helps you.
After it powers back up it keeps taking me to the same screen instead of the recovery menu...
After it has turned off. Removed the SDcard...Hold the button in for 2 seconds and release...Then hold the button in again till the message about holding it in for 5 seconds appears...Keep holding the botton in...DO NOT RELAESE IT till the config screen comes up...Navigate to factory reset...choose the YES option.
That should then reset back to factory settings. I would also redownload the Dexter Mod again, just to make sure it wasn't corrupt.
That should clear it up for you.

For some reason it won't take me to the 5 seconds message (it used to before all this no prob)...it just has the same "booting" message when it initially comes up and if I continue to hold down the power button, it will power back off instead of the config screen
Follow the instructions but hold the power and press the home button at the same time i tend to get recovery that way

Ok. If you got broken recovery and broken system too - you should use hard methods to restore.

Sounds like you'll need to try to do a factory wipe from recovery and then flash a zip of the stock rom (which you'll need to copy to your SD card)
Did forget your own password or buy this one hot?

Probably not a good idea for him to answer that if it's the latter.

Did you try a full wipe of the tablet? Hold down the volume up key and the power button until the tablet vibrates. Release the power button while still holding the volume up key, and slide the screen lock button (next to the volume up key) to the right and then back to the left.
The screen should display 'Erasing Userdata', you can then release the volume key. It should then erase the cache, Acer says it can take 5-10 minutes to complete. The tablet should then reboot, and you may be able to get in from the stock settings.
If the tablets hangs at 'Erasing Cache' for more than 15 minutes, force a power down by holding in the power key. The try the power/volume/lock routine again.

I accidentally,... . unknowingly wiped the RED "system" button in Safestrap 3.12 on my Droid RAZR M today. (I was suppose to be wiping the cash and dalvik, but missed) I'm a retard I know. :crying:
Now I cant get into AP Fastboot to restore the phone from this hard brick!
When I press the power button along with the volume buttons, the only thing that happens is the red Motorola 'M" appears for a few seconds then the safe strap screen appears with the little sad robot, but that's it no AP Fastboot. Pressing the on screen buttons to enter Safestrap Recover do not respond. Oh boy I'm afraid I really did it this time. Its on the charger but i don't know if its even charging with out as OS?
Battery power was at 60% before i bricked it (i think). RSD Lite or my PC for that matter don't even see the phone when its plugged in.
Can this be saved? Or do I need to take a trip down to the Verizon Wireless store?

You need a different key combo to get into fastboot. You're not permabricked tho - that's just a really bad softbrick

Really? Well I hope your right. It gives me some hope. lol So do you have any idea of what alternative key combo i might have to use? Thank you for the reply.
Try holding power & volume down until the screen flickers then hold power and both volume buttons. You gotta be quick
If your boot loader is locked you won't be able to fast boot back until the new fast boot files come out though if your on 4.1.2

New to this, i accidentally the whole phone, same problem im in AP fastboot but registers as Device Locked
run through it on windows OS but says 'Fastboot" is not recognized as an internal or external command" and doesnt reboot as said
this process took 1min
Halp
This thread saved my life, then killed me. The suggestion about the different keys was spot on, i got into fast boot mode, then ran that utility. It totally failed me, I must have killed my phone pretty dead, and now there are no more key combos (the suggested one worked at first but now its just making the screen go blank) to try to get back into fast boot to try again. any more suggestions? on the up side verizon just pushed that update so i figure i can blame that to attempt an exchange
Did you take the update before using that utility? If you did, which version did you use? If you were already updated, then you needed to run 1.20. If you ran the wrong utility, that will cause issues. Now, since you can't boot, it sounds like your battery is dead. When you get to the blank screen, plug it in and leave it to charge for a while.
I'm no expert by any means but I'll try to help as best i can. If not me I'm confident someone else will. Now, I apologize because I didn't understand your original post.
Could you elaborate a little more please?
1. What were you trying to do with your phone prior to things going wrong, if they went wrong at all.
2. you mentioned AP Fastboot. So IM going to assume that at least you can access it. (not the same problem that I was having) that's a good thing! lol
3. Are you utilizing a utility like the one by Matt? Or are you doing something else? Like flashing firmware etc.
4. What were you in Fastboot for? What were your intentions?
I hope this doesn't come over a condescending. Just trying to get a Clearer understand of your issue so we can help.

I changed 2 lines in my build.prop file so i could see if I could get touchless control.
After I changed it, I restarted my phone. Now it is stuck in the Red M Boot, and it stays there, dosent black screen, dosent boot. I can get to the boot selection menu, but i cant choose anything, they all end up at the Red M. I Read that I can fix it in AP Fastboot, but I can get there. Also if i force it off (with power button and volume button) It just goes back to the Red M.
Everything I do ends up at the Red M

Holding the combination of buttons will only cause it to reboot, every time. Holding the power button down will make it shutdown. With that being said, what was your battery like before you started all of this? If it's below 50%, you're going to have a hard time. Shut the phone down and charge the battery ovenight, prior to attempting to fastboot.
If your battery is good, then you can fastboot. Hold all three buttons down, until you get the phone to power off. As soon as power goes off, you'll see a quick line flash at the top of the screen. As soon as you see this flash, quickly let go of the power button and then re-press it. If you got it right, you'll go into the fastboot menu. If you got it wrong, it will attempt to reboot. If it reboots, just try the button combo again. Once you get into the fastboot menu, use the vol- key to get to the option you need, and then hit the vol+ to choose that option.

In Developer options, enable the Advanced Reboot.
The 3 button combo will work, it's just a matter of timing. Remove and replace the battery, hold vol up + home, then power, holding all three, and when it vibrates, let go of power only.
You could also hook up in USB Debugging mode and issue the command:
adb reboot recovery
And if you don't have a developer option go into about phone and tap build number 7 times.

Some people, including myself, cannot get it to work with the standard procedure...the solution is to basically do it twice. Here's a copy/paste of the instructions:
Long press the power button and choose "power off". Give your phone a few seconds to turn off completely. Once it's off, press and hold these 3 buttons at the same time: POWER+VOLUME UP+HOME. Look at the top left of the screen - as soon as you see little blue text saying entering recovery, let go of all buttons immediately...but be ready...if your phone vibrates (it might be trying to reboot normally again), press and hold those same buttons again until you see the blue text again...then let go immediately. Now you will see your recovery!

CWM recovery only requires you to push the volume up key and then press the power key until the phone vibrates and then let go of the power button only. When the blue lettering appears, let go of the volume up. The home button should only be required with TWRP.

Whatever the reason, that is not the case with my phone and many others. I've read several threads of people having the same issue. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the OUDHS CWM w/ auto-loki or what.
I've never heard of letting go of the power button only while still pressing volume up, but I gave it a try just to see...it did get me into CWM recovery but only after doing it twice, similar to the method I wrote above.
I have tried letting go of both volume up and power (no pressing home at all) and never found a way to get into recovery.
Anyways, it seems there's no harm in pressing the home button either way and it's probably easier than letting go of the power button and still holding volume up...and easier to explain too lol.

My minor issue is that when I boot to recovery (twrp) it get to the twrp splash screen then freeze. Takes me another reboot or two before recovery really launches.
Tried reinstalling recovery and fixing permission, etc.. but same deal. Anyone have thoughts on this?
I boot into recovery all the time but I have to hold volume up and home button.
Bump!
I'm having the same issue. What I did was that I had the CWM recovery installed and tried to reset the flash counter. Now the phone won't boot into the recovery, it just boots up as usual when I press vol up+home+power up. I appreciate any help! :/

Can you get the blue text in the upper left corner of the screen to appear at any time?
In my case, trying to get into recovery via the 3 buttons is a matter of very precise timing if I try pressing all 3 buttons at the same time. The instant I see the blue text I let go of everything and it works. Hold it for even a fraction of a second longer and the blue disappears and it goes into a normal boot. It works much better if I press Vol Up, then add Power, then add Home. I'm doing that sequence fairly quickly but the point is I'm not trying to press 3 buttons at the exact same time.
But I'm using CWM so I don't need the 3rd button...
From a powered-down state I hold Vol Up then Power and hold both through the vibration until the blue text appears and it goes into CWM recovery just fine. There seems to be a bit more leeway in terms of how fast you need to let go this way although I just tested and holding about a half second too long caused it to bounce out of recovery and do a normal boot. Let go immediately when you see the blue.
Phone won't boot..
So after using CASUAL, my phone rebooted, and got stuck on the splash screen with RECOVERY BOOTING.. in the top left corner. I pull the battery, try to do a normal reboot; takes me to the same screen. Trying the 3 button combo for recovery; same thing. Any suggestions?? I am NOT on MF3 Firmware.
**EDIT** Should have looked into it more before posting, but Found my solution returning to STOCK

Hold power button down for 15 seconds. At that point the phone should be completely off. Now hold the power and the volume down and you should get you into recovery
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk
press and hold the power button for at least ten-15 seconds if it goes off then push the vol down and button at the same time when the lg logo pops up release both buttons and immediately press them both again and you should get back into recovery it might take you a few goes but it should do it - if that doesn't do it try above youll get there in the end

It wont really turn on, when i press the power button i have to hold it for the screen to even turn on and it does for literally a second to the LG symbol, and turns back off, the screen is somewhat on...i can see the backlighting but its very dim and theres nothing on the screen, what happened? i followed all the procedures it looked to be going well now i cant even use my phone, and i tried pressing the power and volume down but that only brings up the lg symbol for a sec then turns back off...and my phone was 90% charged when i did this. please can anyone help me??? My phone is useless now...i need my phone to work!!! Does anyone on here know how to fix this, has this ever happened to anyone??? Please provide any help if you can its all appreciated!!!

Be sure to turn of the phone completly by holding the power button untill it starts to reboot. You will see the lg logo for a short while. After that do the volume down + power button. When you see the lg logo let go and press (and hold) volume down and power button again. Now you should be prompt to press the power button three times to reset the phone. This will take you to the recovery and let you restor your backup if you have made one.
Hope this will help you.
I ran into this same problem not too long ago. The best way to get your phone back working is trying to get into download mode and reflashing pure stock.
Just hold down the power button, even when it tries to boot up. Keep holding after the second vibration where it tries to boot up again. Then, if the screen stays black, your phone is fully off.
Then follow the instructions on here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
I had the exact problem and I installed LGMobile Support Tool. It will flash stock recovery + stock system. Once the program complete you'll need to hold the volume down + power button. When you see the lg logo let go and press (and hold) volume down and power button again. Now you should be prompt to press the power button three times to reset the phone. Then will start up CWM recovery and will return you to stock.

Hmm i did the button procedure, and took me to twrp i installed recovery but now it says i only have 11gb of internal storage, compared to 19 i had before. I saw that people who used the lg launcher to install recovery to their phone in download mode had the same issue. Have you expereinced this? Does it really mean i only have 11gb? Mine was the 32gb version

Most likely your phone has the D80010o firmware, downgrade to D80010d and you shouldn't have that issue you've described in the OP.
When downgrading, follow the instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
