When I turn on my phone it shows the red "M" logo for a few seconds and then goes straight to the android with exclamation triangle which makes it appear that it is in recovery even though I didn't hold any buttons.
Can't get recovery menu with search button or with up/down buttons. Won't power off unless I pull the battery. Will go into bootloader but rsdlite takes hours just to "create image file" from sbf. Been waiting 2hours and still only 30% created. I think phone is bricked. adb devices shows no devices.
I have the same issue here, Bootloader 30.04 with .621 update corrent?
You may want to try SBFing via Linux. It works so much better.

Good point I bricked my DROIDX for a while it wouldn't show anything it would just boot straight into bootloader but I used rsd light ON LINUX and everything is now fine

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.
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.

Phone got stuck at M logo. Nothing but the bootloader would work. So I sbf'd full .340 back on to my device. All is well with the sbf and I go to restart...same thing just M logo again. I cant get into the stock recovery to do a factory reset. No triangle with exclamation. Please any help on this would be great.

I would send it in for warranty, just be sure that if you do that you SBF the phone and format data/cache beforehand.

I have tried at least 10 times with no results. I power down the device, hold both volume buttons and the power button, and nothing. I do get a vibrate after about 2 seconds, but nothing on the screen and then it vibrates every 6-7 seconds until I let go of the buttons. Kind of disappointed as I was all nice and comfortable on the couch, ready to use the Nexus 10 toolkit to do the all-in-one.
Anyone else experience this problem?

Try releasing then power button (but hold the other two) when you feel the first vibration. I've found that holding the power button can make a continuous reboot happen.

Tried that, but no luck. I also went a different route and tried to do it using mskip's toolkit in original android development. After installing the drivers and choosing the options to boot into fastboot, the device vibrated once and nothing showed up on the screen. BUT...when I refreshed the main menu the toolkit recognized the device as in fastboot mode. Really weird happenings with this, and starting to be concerned that my device has some issues. What point is a Google device if I can't unlock or root it?!

I've had the best luck holding the vol up/down button down first, then while that's down, pressing and holding power until the fastboot menu comes up.
Well, I am at a complete loss. Is this cause for replacement?
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
Hold all three buttons at the same time and wait for the vibration and release. It should work.

Ok, so, I'm not sure what to make of the recent events. Bottom line, I was booting to fastboot mode, but the screen was just blank. I followed the instructions via the toolkit just by selecting the buttons and hoping it was making the correct selections in fastboot mode. Now unlocked, rooted, and a happy man! Still not sure why the fastboot menu would not show up though.

I cant get the toolkit to recognize my tablet in fastboot mode. Is there a soluton to the black screen?
If the toolkit does not recognize the device in fastboot, then there's a good chance you didn't install the drivers correctly. Did you follow the directions correctly to get the toolkit to recognize the device?

I got my device unlocked and the device did install the drivers. However, the problem was not that. But here's the thing, my N10 never showed me the fastboot menu. But connected to the PC it does show its connected. I never saw the screen that confirms "do you want to unlock the bootleader" (it goes completely black and vibrates every 5 seconds).
Workaround to unlock: For anyone with this problem, I just had to "guess" that menu (I think its clicking the vol button down once and then the power button). For me it bootlooped. so I pressed the Vol+ and power and in fastboot I booted to stock recovery, from there just wipe factory settings, and voila.
Weird tho that my fastboot screen was completely black

This is exactly how I had to do it. It's a 50/50 shot, since I think the options are yes or no. Apparently the problem is a little more common, as evidenced by this thread I started in Android General, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2018777

Reboot into boot loader, choose recovery, press all three buttons at top at same time if you don't have options to select, then factory reset. This will solve your boot loop.

The post above is correct. Same thing happened to me. Just factory reset and you should be good to go

Does anyone know what this means or how to fix it? It goes to this screen every time I need to turn my phone off then on again. It was something my brother did to it before he gave it to me. To start my phone up I have to boot into the boot loader and choose normal power up.

I am thinking it's coded to boot to fastboot when select power down or one of the volume rockers are stuck. If you have adb and fastboot commands try to get a logcat

How do you get the logcat?
