I was rooted with z4 and unrooted before I decided to do the gingerbread update. I did and went through the updating process. Upon reboot my phone froze within 10 seconds of fully loading after the restart. I did a battery pull and it repeated the process. I have restarted the battery multiple times and have even tried to reboot in recovery mode and was not able to bring up a menu in recovery mode to do a factory data reset.
Please help I actually work for an Indirect rep for Verizon and need my phone to do business.
one other piece of information if it may help when I do boot up the phone will go to a black screen with the notification bar still visible on the top. I cannot get anything to happen on by boot screen either.
Please give me any information that will be of assistance

That's correct. If on GB, it's both volume buttons...if on Froyo, it's the search button.
ok so installed the stock froyo .sbf with rsd lite 5.0 and now it wont go past the att boot screen. please help. thank you
Press the down volume button while pressing the power button to turn on the phone. Once you see the Motorola symbol come up let go. You will see an exclamation point in a triangle and the android. Once you see that press the down volume button again. You are now in recovery. Do a wipe/factory reset. This should take care of your problem.

Just bought a droid x off someone. Called verizon and the IMEI/ESN/WHATEVER is clean. So after she finished showing me that everything on the phone works and I bought it. So my wife played with it a bit on the way home and somehow locked it up. Now it wants the original owner to log in with her google account before letting me use the phone. After a week of trying to get ahold of this girl with no response, I have a problem. What can I do to reset the phone? Home + power brings me to the triangle/droid/! screen. I assume that means recovery isn't installed. Can someone explain if I need to use SBF/How to use SBF/What to flash?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Is there a DX IRC you guys use?
You do need to SBF. Google for instructions; there's tons of videos and guides to help you.

Okay, so I have the 30.04 Bootloader. I tried flashing the 2.3.340 FULL SBF, and RSD Lite showed the flash passed. It didn't and nothing has changed. Comments, Spock?
Also tried the 2.3.34 SYSTEM ONLY SBF. Didn't do anything. It shows the flash as completing correctly, but I boot it up and nothing has changed.

Ehh, try SBFing again, and wipe data from recovery.
To enter recovery press home and power (to get the the screen with the Android and the exclamation mark), then press both volume buttons.

So Home+Power, release both when I see the Android/Exclamation mark, then hold both volume buttons?
Because for some reason I can't get past the Android/Exclamation mark. I don't think it has recovery installed.
EDIT: The search button did it for me.

My brother tried to SBF stock froyo rom over Liberty. When the battery went dead he brought the phone to me. Changed batteries and SBF to the stock froyo rom he used. Phone is caught in boot loop. Holding Home and powering on only brings up motorolla splash and proceeds to boot loop. I have tried flashing every SBF for this Verizon but it seems that the recovery was deleted when he tried to original install and the battery died. The roms SBF fine but start a boot loop. I have pulled the battery holding home+power but the droid will not go into the recovery. CWM also does not boot so I assume it was deleted when he did the first SBF. Wondering if there is a way to SBF the Recovery Partition since all I can get to is the bootloader. 30.04. Any suggestions?
Depending on the SBF you flashed, you should be able to hold home and power (from a completely powered off state) and get the android with the triangle.
From there you will have to either press search (Froyo) or both volume buttons (Gingerbread).

That is the problem. Regardless of which SBF I flash Home+Power just hangs Moto Logo and eventually starts the boot loop. It's almost as if the Recovery is not longer accessible.
Continue to hold both buttons even when it is on the Motorola logo.
Also, try reSBFing with .602 in Linux. For a nice clean start.

Holding the buttons from a powered down phone it sits on M logo for about 8 seconds then starts the boot loop. This is with me Holding both Power and Home, Holding power and home and releasing power at logo. The only key on command that seems to work is the Bootloader.
Ill DL the 602 and Nix-SBF it and report back. Thanks.

Try doing the FULL .340 SBF and then when that finishes do the SYSTEM ONLY SBF. See if that does anything
Tried 604, 340 and 340 system. I SBF'd all form linux starting with 602. Rebooted holding home and power and after a few seconds it went straight into boot loop again. Same with the .304 and .304 overwritten with system files. I flashed 304 then immediately flashed the 304 system only. Still same symptoms. I ask my brother and he said the phone and all the buttons were working when he tried restoring it to factory so broken Home key is not the answer. I am fairly sure if there were another way to push a Wipe/reset to the phone it would stop looping and boot into any flavor firmware. You would think it would be easy to run a wipe/reset command from bootloader. Any more suggestions because i'm about to give up on this beast.
From what I can tell, every possible recovery option has been exhausted.

So it is Officially Bricked. Oh well.
They're almost never bricked. Did you try SBFing from the bootloader?
Boot into bootloader mode by holding down Volume Down, the Camera & the Power buttons.
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

go to the last page new tools and utilities up from matt and it works just unbricked me be sure to thank him :good:

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.

Could you help me please?
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
Help fast please, its my only phone, and I just got rid of my house phone

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?
