Boot loopin after sbf

I tried to sbf, it got done and rsd said phone has to be powered up manually. So i tried to turn it on and all it does is boot loop. My computer wont pick it up. Since its not rooted can i boot into recovery? What do i do?

Got it into bootloader and sbf'd again. Still boot loopin. What do I do? Someone please help me!!!

Wipe data and cache from the stock recovery.
1. Pull your battery.
2. Turn on your phone while holding the 'up' arrow on the keyboard
3. Hold until you are in stock recovery.
4. Press the magnifying glass on the keyboard to see the menu
5. Select data wipe and then cache wipe (using the volume buttons. or arrow keys and the camera or 'ok' button to select)
6. Then reboot system and you should be good to go.
Also how did you sbf?

You have to borrow somebody's charged battery. Or find a way to get yours charged because the phone won't charge without some software running.
Once you get a working battery try the steps I gave you to get into stock recovery if you would like/need more help with any of the steps just let me know.
(the D1's battery will work if you have a friend with a D1. I don't know about the DX though.)

Did you try to SBF while running a ROM? I think its best be rooted stock at least to SBF. I had problems SBFing if I wasn't stock.

ok, i got a battery. but when i try to use the up arrow and power button to get into recovery it just goes into bootloader. i sbf'd from fission 2.2.1. so yea, i was runnin a rom. ive never had so much trouble messin with a phone before. i know its not bricked but i am getting frustrated...
BOOM!!! Got it baby!! OK, so its x and power to boot into stock recovery. Worked like a charm! And on the bright side, i scored a D1 for 100. I needed a battery, buddy had a nearly perfect droid...hooked it up

{Fixed} bootloop GB installation error... phone wont access stock recovery

I was interested in the recently leaked gb updates from verizon. I used this site http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...rbread-2-3-3-release-prerooted.html#post61686 to get gingerbread with root preinstalled. Now the thing is i'm stuck at bootloop everytime for more than 40mins (unable to reach homescreen) and when i try to access stock recovery (x and power key) the search key won't access the 4 menu stock recovery options.
This really frustrating since i cant even sbf the phone properly (needs to reach homescreen) any solutions?
Edit- "Remove battery, reinsert.
Open keyboard and hold the X.
Then while holding x turn the phone on and let go of the power button but keep holding the X
You should get a little green android. Now let go of everything.
Now push the volume up and down at the same time OR press the search button in the keyboard (magnifying glass). A blue menu should come up allowing you to clear cache and wipe/restore. "
for anyone who has trouble getting through bootloop problems

When trying to boot into stock recovery I get a little green android with an exclamation point, I cant seem to figure out what to do from here.

Folks need to learn how to read the tutorial before you post 900 different threads on the forum. Reading > you

I just had this problem.
My recovery wasn't working, loading into the blue screen.
Download Download RSD Lite, the 2.3.20 SBF from MDW.
Start phone using power + up on dpad
Flash phone with sbf.
It should failed (at least for me)
Do a battery pull and start phone with power + x
when the android caution pic appears press the search button on the keyboard
do a wipe

What happened here, people stopped searching again!
Please read people

As far is i can tell there is no need for a development section for the d2. For a phone thats been out forever theres nothing for it. Garbage

Get into recovery to wipe data from GB bootscreen?

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.

[Q] "please manually power up this phone" on RSD lite

hi. i tried to install a custom rom on my bravo..... and i occured an error....so i used rsd-lite with the stock sbf (p4_kobe_umts_kobe_user_3.4.2-125_KOB_FFW-4_product-keys-ATT-US_ATT-signed.sbf). after the "normal" procedure the program show the message "please manually power up this phone". i tried to remove battery, replace it, enter in bootloader mode but nothing.... the bravo loop to infinite with the red M and the white screen.... somebody can help me please?!
thanks e sorry for my english

ps: thks for the answers rdannar

Sent from my MB520 using XDA App

thanks rdannar! it's worked!
i used your instruction (STOCK RECOVERY):
1 - with bravo turn off hold volume-down + power button
2 - with triangle and android on the screen hold volume down + volume up
3 - scrolling the "voices" with volume buttons on the wipe data... and confirm with power button
4 - after 2-3 minutes the bravo restarts at factory conditions

Thanks danner on my next day off i'll try to post a SBF Issues thread or something to HOPEFULLY prevent you from having to explain how to view the menu on stock recovery yet again XD

rubbachicken, in my country we say "no one is born learned" (Naples to be exact) .... is 2 days that I try on the net without finding anything about it .... and tonight I decided to disturb you surely know more than me ... I hope this post serves as to who will be in this situation. rdannar thank you again for helping me.

He wasn't trying to be a jerk. It has been pointed out a lot of times how to fix this problem. On that I remember when I posted the fix myself the first time it took a lot of searching. So we understand that there is no one spot that says how to do this and making one topic on this would help a lot of people. So don't think he was calling you out our anything, just pointing out an obvious thread discussion ;-)

Recovery not working?
I know how to boot into recovery, but after I flashed the stock .sbf and tried to wipe data as previously said in this post, once I was on the screen with the triangle and Android, I couldn't go any further. I tried pressing both volume buttons as said.

[Q] Cant Get into AP Fast Boot!

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.

I have done your steps and I get the menu up, but when I try to scroll down with the volume down button, it doesn't move. It just stays on "normal powerup". How can I fix this?
