[Q] At a loss, Tried everything still stuck at moto logo

Stuck at splash screen
multiple battery pulls
flashed sbf
redownloaded sbf reflashed incase it was currupted
flashed just system sbf
cant get into recovery with holding home and powering up, even with holding home and inserting battery.
Im at a complete losss dont know what else to try

When you removed the battery, did you leave it out a couple minutes?
Are you continuing to hold the home button after turning it on?
What version bootloader do you have?
What's the file name of the sbf's you're using?

battery pulls from a few seconds to 5-10-15 minutes and just now overnight.
Held the home button fro upto a minute still nothing
30.03
VRZ_MB810_2.3.15_1FF_01, and just the system flash i tried SHADO_X6_2.3.13_SYSTEM-ONLY

just got it into recovery holding the home and menu button, when i hit search no recovery menu comes up just the exclaimation with the android

ok scratch that, holding the menu key with the search key brings up the menu... This phone is messed up lol. volume rocker wont select anything though.... the factory reset is soooo close
E:cant mount cache:recovery/command
E:cant mount cache:recovery/log
thats what i get

OK i think its an hardware issue
only can get into recovery with home and search pressed.
only can pull up recovery menu with volume down and search
have to hold menu+volume up then volume down to scroll menu. was able to do a factory reset, still stuck at the m logo.
Downloaded the ota update.zip formatted sd card and put it on
apply update.zip results in error in sd card/update.zip (status 2)

I get stuck at the splash screen about 1 out of 3 times I restart. What usually works for me (but not always) is waiting a few minutes afer pull before restarting.
I actually called Verizon to get a replacement for this issue and the rep said this is a well known issue with the 2.2 update phones and they are actively working on a fix. Sucks

yea they wouldnt help me since the warantee isnt transferrable

Hey,
I have had a similiar issue and this is how I did it. I *successfully* flashed the .sbf and I was still stuck at the motorola boot logo. I then booted the phone into recovery and deleted the cache and data and everything. After I did this it booted up fine!
I hope that this helped, let me know :-D

^^^same like above. got stuck after flashing a million times. wiped data/cache and booted normally.

Are you able to go into the Bootloader?

yea, i was able to do that aswell, still nothing. ended up trading for a working droid 1

yes, bootloader was fine, and could get into recovery, but had to hold volume up with volume down to scroll... i concluded the phone was just a fluke.

I wouldn't doubt it got wet. That sort of stuff happens...

Help!

I tried downloading 2.3.1 through rom manager, but it failed for some reason. So I accidentally downloaded it through the phone, and as soon as it began installing, I got a little Android image with a triangle that has an ! in it...How can i please fix this?

You might get more help if you rename your topic title to something more descriptive.
Second, try searching the forum; this has been discussed in numerous threads on both this forum and the developer's section, along with how to fix it.
Try the threads about the update, or dialing a certain code to force it manually (that's where I learned the timing trick to get into stock recovery on the NS). On the screen you're at, try pressing and holding power, then pressing/holding volume up, that should get you into stock recovery.
Also, if you can get into fastboot, you can fastboot flash the CWM recovery back to the device. If you made an nandroid before doing anything, you can at least go back to the device's state before you tried the update.

i could not find anything on this issue on google or here
i tried doing vol up and power, but its still at the screen, and my computer doesnt recognize my phone

use the instruction on the topic to ROOT the phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875875
and in one of the steps you can use the ADB to push a good ROM back into the phone to be re-flashed

Try just pulling the battery.
If not, you'll have to use fast boot from the SDK. Just follow the howto at the top of this forum to flash original images.

thank you so much!
i locked my bootloader again, and i've been trying to get the 2.3.1 update, but everytime i do try, it freezes at the android warning sign. i also tried installing it via rommanager when i was rooted...whats going on?

any ideas what could be wrong?

Are you able to get into Fastboot?
I wonder if part of your problem is that you relocked the bootloader. (Why'd you do that anyways? No advantage, imo.)
Fastboot oem unlock will completely wipe your phone, I mean WIPE EVERYTHING, including the sdcard (photos, music, some apps' data, etc), but such a wipe might get you back to stock firmware and stock recovery, then at least you could boot up. You could also then reflash CWM.
Before doing that, let's try this if you haven't:
Turn off phone.
Hold vol-up, then press/hold power.
You should then be in fastboot mode.
The timing's critical (on my phone anyways) for this step: Select recovery, and have your hands on the power button and volume button ready to push.
Watch the screen very closely, for a bout a half second or so, the screen will flash a box with an arrow dumping out onto the android dude. While that screen is showing, press/hold the power button, then press/hold the vol up button. Important to do the power button FIRST this time (at least it is on my phone).
You should then be able to get into the stock recovery.
Once there, maybe we can figure out where to go, but we need to know how messed up your phone is at this point.
Once in Recovery, you could try wiping cache if it's an option, then trying to reboot. Worth a shot, but not likely to work.
You could also do the factory reset wipe in there, this one shouldn't wipe your sdcard if there's anything critical/valuable on it. It will reset all your settings and logins and wipe the apps you've installed, though. Again, might let you boot up normally.

how to boot into CWR

hi, i have trouble booting into recovery. what i do is press "n" and power and it always goes to "Boot Menu" ... can someone tell me what that is and what it does ? ( i know i can boot into it by pressing power and selecting reboot and recovery just trying to find out how to from power-off) thanks.

I'm not the most knowledgeable one to answer this. I was waiting to see if someone else would post here.
But here goes. When I want boot into recovery when my nook is off, I power on holding down the n key. When the boot screen appears, I use the n key to toggle different options on the first line. I opt to boot from emmc. Then use the volume keys to move down to the next line and use the n key again to choose boot into recovery.
I don't remember the exact order of the lines, so I may be a little off, but I hope this helps get you booted into recovery from the boot screen

Thanks for trying to help. i was experiencing boot-loop i think.. ( i wasn't even able to turn my NC off at all. it just kept booting up and being stuck on the Cyanogenmod loading screen every time when i turn it off by holding down power), thats why i needed to boot into recovery from power-off. how it happened was i upgraded to cm9. i wiped cache and dalvik and formatted boot, system and data before flashing. ( i know some instruction here tells to do a wipe data/factory reset. i didnt do that ) I fix it and went back to cm7 by putting in a bootable sd with CWR in the two seconds that it stays off... but the strange thing was that once again i did it my way (wipe cache/dalvik and format boot, system, data) and this time it worked~ no boot-loop. now i wonder what really caused boot-loop the first time even when i had the bootable sd card in it didn't even boot into recovery itself i had to push "n" like crazy ... to get in ...

Glad you got it fixed.

also if you have cwr on a bootable sd card you can use rom manager to flash cwr internally, so you wont need a bootable sd card, if you want to get into cwr just use rom manager and select reboot into recovery, i use to have cwr on my sd and didnt like it because you would have to take out the sd card everytime you boot, but this way is much easier, you can back up in rom manger instead of doing it the manual way...holding n and power button, hope this helps

[SOLVED] [Q] Huawei U8180 First time Modder Problem

[SOLVED]
I rooted this, installed clockworkmod, then went and got an cm7 dated april something 2012 u8160 rom from psyke83 website.
installed it through clockworkmod install from sd card option with success (also clicked option to backup everything).
yet when phone reboots it hangs on the blue arrow in a circle spinning around, sometimes reboots n repeats but it never goes past that.
I have tried going into recovery mode holding down volume buttons and power
and I get 1 of 2 errors:
with sd card in:
firmware update
step 1/2
unpacking
update failed
with sd card out:
purple screen.
I am a first time android modder, can someone please, please tell me how to fix this. I can access the sd card with a reader if need be to put whatever files on it that I should.
Thank you.

Start the phone by pressing volume up + power OR volume down + power. You should be able to boot to recovery with one of those combinations (other one boots to fastboot most probably). After that do the wipe data/cache and try to reboot once again.
What was wrong in the beginning was that you did not wipe data/cache. That made the CM use old OS's data files which obviously won't work.
The unpacking thing was caused by pressing volume up + volume down + power. That causes the phone to go to upgrade mode if there is an update package found.

Nope. still goes to the blue arrow circling then freezes then reboots....

You are right about me not wiping the data/cache though...

But in your phone forum, are there tutorials on how to boot to recovery? Do you have any other hard keys on the phone?

there is one other button but that didn't work either.
I cannot find a forum for Huawei model u8180 (

Hmm, would this work?

yay!!
it was volume up + power + cancel button (? maybe home button? not sure on what this button is but its the biggest).
wiped all data n cache n then it booted properly.

So the problem is solved? If you can, mark first post title with [SOLVED].

Just start again, sometimes it messes up, but you generally just start again with flashing the clockworkmod. Make sure the download wasnt corrupted by doanloading everything again though, although ignore the bit about adb rboot bootloader, you need to start the phone manually by use power + volume-down key combination to get into bootloader when its powered off and continue from point 5.

Thanks, I will give that a try

Relac, its actually pretty hard to completely bust these things. Dont quote me on that though lol

Don't freak out. I'm sure you're fine.
Unlocking the bootloader on my N10 caused me to hang at the X. Wiping data fixed it for me. Try the following:
1. Reboot into Fast Boot
2. Select Recovery using volume rocker. Hit power to select. You'll get the android mascot with the red exclamation point.
4. Press Power and Volume Up at the same time.
5. Choose to wipe all data. Confirm the selection.
6. Reboot.

So I didn't originally flash the recovery image, just booted into it. So I tried that again, but there is nowhere to find the SU_BusyBox_Pack.zip. I tried the sideload method, but ADB can't find my device any more. It shows nothing when I do adb devices.
what else can I try ?

Were you able to try wiping data through the stock recovery?

I got stuck after just booting into recovery as well and immediately exit. Just use the volume key and change it until you see recovery, without going into it, I just fastboot flash recovery recovery.img from pc, then factory reset.
