Hey guys, I need your help. My phone battery died and the phone wouldn't boot past the M screen. I could get to bootloader but not recovery. So I SBFd. Same issue. Here is what I've done, I'm at my wits end.
1. Put phone in bootloader
2. Connected it, recognized by pc, used RSD 5.44 to flash .602
3. RSD says please manually power up the phone. Disconnect USB. (Also tried with usb still connected)
4. Battery pull, put it back in bootloader
5. Re connected, RSD says pass.
6. Pulled battery, tried to restart, same stuck at M screen issue.
7. Can't access recovery. Sometimes it will get there, but it won't let me access the menu.
8. Tried pressing both volume buttons a million times, nothing.
9. Once, menu in recovery flashed up, but disappeared immediately.
10. Put it back into bootloader and SBF'd again, with redownloaded file.
11. Repeat all of this 3x.
WHAT AM I DOING WRONG! HELP!
Make sure your battery is charged and SBF using the Linux method.

So you think the SBF's aren't working for some reason? Should I still be using .602 or should I try .340?
Downloading the linux iso now...
Okay, sbf'd with linux method, same issue.
I can get to recovery by holding down the home and power buttons and then hitting the vol up/down buttons. It won't bring me to recovery unless i actually hit the volume buttons. Once in recovery, it doesn't respond to the volume buttons being pressed so I can't pull up the menu.
Any ideas?
What rom were you using when this happened?

If you were on stock .621, you have to SBF to .621.

It was stock .605, I had to SBF back in march.
I guess my issue now is this: I can sometimes get to the recovery screen, but the menu never appears. I've tried pressing the search button and hitting vol. up/down at the same time, and I haven't once gotten the menu to pop up so I can clear data.
Is there some way to wipe cache through adb using the bootloader?

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

cool glad it's fixed!
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?

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.
Hi All,
I've done lots of searching but I'm stumped. Any help appreciated.
Device - Verizon Razr M. New - came with JB.
Rooted using motofail2go JB Superuser. Worked.
Installed Safestrap 3.12 from here.
Was attempting to install EnergyROM following Cheezzzz's Guide.
The instructions don't match what my Safestrap menu looked like, but I thought I had everything going okay. But the ROM wouldn't install. Errored out right away when trying to flash, so I figured I'd boot back to stock and come back later. Now I'm bricked.
The only thing I can get is the initial Safestrap menu after holding Power & Vol up + Vol Dn. It appears for about 10 seconds, but neither the "Recovery" or "Continue" buttons are responsive, then it powers back off.
I'm sorry if this is something simple to get me to where I can RSD, but I'm coming from 4 years on different HTC models, so Motos are a new beast for me.
Thanks in advance,
John
Okay - so I was really just pressing/holding combinations of buttons and I managed to get to the original recovery. Got it in fastboot and am flashing with RSD now.
Edit: RSD flashed back to stock.
Did you have the device plugged in during all this? That stalls Safestrap because the phone is just doing a lazy boot to the battery charging graphic. Glad you fixed it though.

Do you remember the combo you did to get back to recovery? I am having the exact same issue.

Pwr+vol up+vol down until you get to recovery menu. Vol dn until you get to the choice you want, then vol up to choose what you want (vol up is how you select from recovery, fastboot, etc. You can only go down in this menu, not back up. If you miss your choice, just wait and the phone will reboot if you wait too long.) If you choose the recovery option in the beginning menu, you will get the red M and then an Android on its back. At the Android, hold vol down and tap vol up. This will put you into stock recovery.
That combo wouldn't work for me.
If I held down the vol keys and power button, nothing would happen. I tried holding it for three minutes, and nothing. When I let off the keys, the red would pop up after 3-4 seconds and than the SS splash would pop up again without working softkeys.
I came to find that if I started holding down the three keys right when SS splash popped up, I could get into the fastboot menu
I'm stuck and wondering if someone could help guide me.
I had root and the latest TWRP installed.
What I did:
Enter TWRP
Advanced wipe, selecting system, data, cache and dalvik.
Installed a test rom.
Reboot
Now stuck with the following screen
If I power off and try holding the power and vol down buttons I just get the same screen.
If I connect to my Windows 7 x64 PC it now shows up as a QHSUSB_BULK device.
I've tried following the instructions to flash back to stock using the Flash tool, but nothing happens. If I click on the Information button, it says Port USB not found.
Any idea's?
EDIT:
If I click on start in Flash Tool, it does carry on, but I get stuck with it asking me to connect the usb cable. I think it's the QHSUSB drivers I need?
Holy COW.....
I've been trying to do it since last night (30+ times) and couldn't get it to show up. I had given up, thinking I had to send to LG, but I have just managed to get in. Practice and perseverance is what you need. I will now practice getting into recovery this way!
Just to confirm:
Hold Power and Volume Down buttons till phone reboots.
As soon as you see LG appear on the phone let go of the buttons.
Within 1/2 a second, press the power button again.
At the prompts, press the power button twice as if you are doing a factory reset. If you don't see the Factory Reset screen, start from 1 again.
Enter TWRP and breathe.
I might leave my phone alone for a while now, as I cant take the pressure!
I had said to myself I would run stock on this phone, but once again I rooted, and then put recovery on. I'm getting too old for the excitement!
:victory:
Good that you managed to fix your phone.
