[Q] Fubar'd Droid X

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.

[Q] Droid X Trouble

I've flashed the CM9 to my Droid X and it's stuck in boot animation. I've tried manually putting the phone into recovery mode but it's just stuck at the exclamation mark. Can anyone help me? I don't wanna buy a new phone

Try pressing the search button, if that doesn't work press both volume buttons.
Then do a factory reset.

1.Power off. after the phone is off go to step 2
2.hold Volume UP+Home+Power
3.when it vibrate you should see the little blue letter (sorry I can't read it, too small) on the top left corner, then release.
Once you're in recovery mode, you can move to the next line by Volume UP or Down and Power to select.

[Q] Returned to stock, cannot enter recovery!

I wonder if anyone can help me here, i have successfully returned to stock following this guide but have a big problem. I cannot get into recovery at all to do the factory reset. My phone boots but an error message pops up saying system.ui not responding and it does not go away, it needs to be factory reset but i cannot get into recovery. Is there a way to flash the stock image and reset the phone via R&D tools? or is there any other way to reset? any help would be appreciated.

What Rom did you flash because on some Roms to factory reset you have to be fully powered off and then hold volume down+power when LG logo shows up hold power button+volume down while for others you have to hold volume up+down after LG logo

recovery booting

i got the sm-9005 note 3 and its stuck on recovery booting every time i turn it on. i can get it into download mode but if i leave it to boot up without pressing the vol buttons it still says recovery booting then after 10 seconds it vibrates and reboots. what fixes can i try?
its not going to the samsung logo, just the sm-9005 screen with recovery booting in the top corner in blue

Its very easy just reflash recovery using odin and your phone will be brand new
