OK, I have what looks like a Serious problem. My Volume Down key doesn't work but up until about 20 minutes ago it really didn't matter that much. Well now after flashing a new rom, my phone just sits at the splash screen and won't boot. Normally I would just boot into recovery and try again, but with no Volume Down key how do I get into Recovery? I sure hope someone out there has the answer because I am starting to panic.
Try pressing the back button thats how i get into recovery

Thanks exemp30!!!
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.

Yeah, bad kernel. That's designed for a SGS3 and CM9 ROMs. With that being said, it won't boot all? The bad kernel shouldn't prevent you from booting into recovery, but like Panther said, your battery may be dead. Leave it on the charger for a while and see what happens. Use Panther's button combo to boot straight into recovery and restore a backup. You can also try holding all three buttons to get into the fastboot menu. Once in the menu, use vol- to go to your choice and vol+ to select your option. Good luck and let us know what happens.

Put it on a charger. Then if you can't get bootloader menu to come on (normal pwr, recovery....).
Then you clobbered the partitions. Got insurance?

not sure if you resolved you issue, but try again to get to recovery - press and hold all 3 buttons (power + volume up + volume down), release only the power button after 5 seconds and wait for the recovery screen to appear (if not, try releasing the volume buttons, then press the volume down button once, then the volume up button once).
At About 2:30 AM This Morning The Charging LED Finally Came On But It's Green So I Guess It Has A Full Battery, Not Sure and Whenever I Try To Boot Into Recovery The Light Comes Off.

that's a good sign that the battery light came on. getting into recovery can be tricky, so keep trying. you might need to get there blindly - basically, assume that you cannot see the screen, and press the right buttons to get into it. this has happened to me before.

To access the recovery you have to press volume up and power until it unlocks the menu.

Wait, a red light?
Are you on low battery?
Maybe it is either a low battery command, access denied to to too many attempts or incorrect combination.
Try doing the same to the up and down keys followed by the power.

I also have the exact same issue. I never tried entering stock recovery before now and I tried to do it now, after updating OTA to 4.3 and rooting with wugfresh toolkit, 1.6.8. Regardless of how many times I have tried, it just reboots normally and can't access the stock recovery.

So you cannot access the recovery using the bootloader?, if so then it is probably corrupted.
I have the stock recovery image file here which you can flash via Fastboot.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
I imagined the same. The toolkit itself, is giving you the option of reflashing the stock recovery, I think that I will try this at first. The weird thing is that the phone boots up normally, works as it should and is rooted successfully.
Actually there was no need to flash anything new. I finally made it to work. When in the "No Command" screen, you have to press the following:
1) Press only the power button first
2) While holding the power button, press the vol up button for a couple of seconds
3) Let go ONLY of the vol up button, while still pressing the power button.
Tested and working!

Excellent. Thanks for that. It was doing my head in.
The question is though will OTA updates still work? And the answer is yes. I flashed back to 4.2.2 and the 4.3 update came through OK. Happy days as I may well pass my N4 on soon and it needs to work 100% for a non tech wife.

Hi all,
I think I am in some serious trouble right now.. I tried to flash the latest carbon ROM on my device, but completely
forgot to flash the kernel.
I cannot connect to my device using adb (really can't remember if i didn't enable it, been flashing a couple of ROMS tonight ).
I can however, use fastboot.. But what use is that? Can I somehow restore or get to my recovery?
Any help is appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.

If you got to the hard reset screen and pressed power two times but could not get to recovery, its possible that you no longer have any recovery (CWM or TWRP). In some roms, a recovery image is sometimes flashed overwriting the recovery image that you previously installed.
Best bet may be is get back to stock. Try this thread, hope it helps.
