Go to that thread and download the full firmware XML.zip and flash it with RSD Lite 6.14.
That will return the device to stock condition and you can start over.
You must power on the phone holding both Vol keys and power and then use the vol down to scroll to AP Fastboot and then Vol Up to select it and the phone will restart with bootloader screen showing.
Now connect the cable and open RSD Lite and it should see the device.
Drag the XML.zip file onto the right pane and it will give you the option to decompress the archive and start flashing.
It will take a while to complete the flash and will then reboot into recovery and flash the radios and reboot again automatically.
This will wipe the userdata and cache partitions as well and will go through an initial setup and activation on first boot.

yea I tried that with no success, now its not even turning on. I plug it in thinking it has no battery and the green status light goes on and no charging screen. I try both volume buttons and power button, the status light goes off but nothing happens. I've tried holding the buttons anywhere from 10-45 seconds with no success. all the while even when I first was able to get to the safe strap screen the soft key buttons were unresponsive...
went to verizon and they couldn't figure it out (yes I know its not advisable) got a replacement in the mail today and sending the non-functioning one back.

That happened to me once. It just took me repeatedly pressing and holding the power and volume keys. Leave the charger alone for a bit. The phone boots up the battery status and safe strap when its off and hooked up to a power source. So try it a few times and be patient. I help the keys over 20 seconds.

Green light is an indicator of a very low battery, usually fixed by leaving it charging for a while...

logo m and no recovery HELP:(

hi i have flashed cm902 rom it booted up but it dont like me cause makes eroros so i wanted ro reflash with old stock 2,3,3 and with recovery bootstrap i thinked what i wild came into recovery but it just hanged and now no recovery only white triangle with yelow! and only logo m, so maybe someone hav this problem earlier and can help me?cause now im searching half day of work for searching for solution.
thanks fo anny help
Dont worry. Do this. First use the wall charger and charge your phone for at least 30mins. So if your phone is off then it will charge till 70-80%. Check if it is charging by looking at the micro-usb port lighting up.
Now go to the White triangle with ! mark. Then press @ button. You will get options. Select erase data by pressing volume button and then clicking enter button on your keypad.
After the wipe has been done pull out battery. Then start RSD Lite on your computer. Put the battery to your phone. Now press both volume up and volume down together and then power button for 2secs. Leave power button. You will see it in bootloader.
Now load sbf file on RSD software and wait for it to recognize your phone. Then click start. Thats it. Your phone should be ok.

Stuck on Google logo boot screen -- Bricked??

I unlocked the bootloader and flashed a custom recovery. I then rebooted the device. Now it is stuck at the bootloader (white Google logo on black background) and I can't get it to do anything else. I've rebooted it a bunch of times including with the vol + and vol - buttons held down to no avail. I've also let the battery run out and then tried to boot it up again and the same thing happens. adb nor fastboot see the device and it doesn't show up in the logs on my machine (Mint 13) as coming online at any time.
Most of the times I reboot it with the power switch it reboots to the Google logo even without me letting go of the power button. Sometimes I can get it to fully power off but I haven't figured out what combination of vol keys and reboot does that.
Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? Any help would be much appreciated!
You are not bricked if you can still get into the bootloader.
Download the factory image from here, and flash it with fastboot. If you don't know how to do that, read this thread.
I wish I could get fastboot to see it then I could definitively flash that img.
I can't get into the bootloader and can't get fastboot or adb to see it. It's stuck at the Google logo now and when i hold the power key it reboots back to the Google logo with the unlock logo at the bottom.
Thanks for the help
You've tried holding volume down+power for 10+ seconds? That should power off the device, then hold both vol up+down down and power up
Ya I've tried to hold vol + and power for 10+ seconds and it reboots back to the Google logo even if I don't off the power key. Same happens with all the other combinations of keys being held with the power button. I can't get it to turn off now unless I let the battery die
Press and hold power till screen goes black. Then quickly press power+volume down and HOLD.

Tried that and still stuck at the Google logo. I have to go to work for a couple hours and then will hack on it when I'm back. Hope I don't have to deal with Googles rma process seeing how disorganized the rest of that company is
Sent from my HTC one s
No luck with any button combos but the vol + and power actually turned it off. All out of ideas over here. I'm thinking it really is bricked
I'm in the same spot. I can get it into recovery occasionally but once there it locks up after trying to flash or clear the cache.
I'm wondering if a contributing issue is CMR v6.0.0.6? I updated it from 6.0.0.4 that was running fine. But no fastboot or adb so that is doubtful.
This is frustrating and not a great start with this N7.
thank you

this worked. you have to be fast. as soon as screen goes black release power button then quickly, very quickly repress along with vol up and down.
You will still be able to get into the bootloader! Force kill the tablet by holding the power button for ages. Then hold volume up and volume down and the power button together, which will boot to fastboot.
It looks like a CWM bug as I feared. Anyone in the same boat try here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782932
Nothing has worked and I've literally tried everything that those three buttons can do. Thanks again for all the help guys. Had a great time trying to resurrect it but guess it's time for it to go back home
Just as I suspected. Google puts out buggy junk once again.
I just wanted to report a similarly event. I have a rooted, unlocked Nexus 7, with TWRP recovery. I have previously rebooted without issue. Tonight I booted into bootloader mode to check something and the hit power button to choose start. I got stuck on the boot logo. After finding this thread, I started with the simplest combination and held power button until screen went dark, then added volume down and once again in bootloader. This time choosing start led to a regular system boot. It's as if the device froze and needed a hard reboot.

I was attempting to boot into recovery and kept getting the 'Google' logo (I am unlocked/rooted with twrp recovery). I wasn't aware that one had to be plugged in via usb in order to *not* hang....
Any way around this?
Once I plugged it in and attempted to boot into recovery it worked fine.
I had a similar issue after using the Nexus Root Toolkit to flash to nakasi 4.2 with CWM recovery - just got stuck on the nexus boot screen, flashing in a loop for over 15 minutes.
I ended up powering down the device, holding power for about 5-10 seconds - then QUICKLY holding both the power and volume up+down keys, it then went into the fastboot screen.
After it was there, plugged it into my PC.
Now, this should work for you - assuming you have all the fastboot/usb driver stuff installed.
I extracted the contents of nakasi-jop40c-factory-6aabb391.tgz into the same directory as the fastboot.exe provided by WugFresh with his Nexus Root Toolkit (google search or xda search for this if you dont have it, i dont think i can post links due to my low postcount) - typical filepath: C:\Program Files (x86)\WugFresh Development\data
By the files in there, I mean drilling down inside the tgz to where the image files were inside so that files like bootloader-grouper-4.13.img, image-nakasi-jop40c.zip etc were extracted into the directory and sitting alongside the fastboot.exe - NOT in a subfolder.
Once its all here, running flash-all.bat (this is provided by google in the nakasi-jop40c-factory-6aabb391.tgz) from the command line or by double clicking on it from explorer should kick off the process. After about 2-3 minutes, it was complete, and my Nexus then booted up within about 3 minutes after that.
Also worth noting, device remained unlocked, but I lost root/root binary

My fix works for your messed up phone!!!

Try this I did and it worked to get mine booting after a bad
update.
I messed around with it using several methods of getting it to
boot into download mode until I finally got it to do it. I think
I left it plugged into the USB, powered it down until I saw the
charging screen, then I proceeded to play with the different ways
to hold the buttons to get it to download mode. If you are
persistent enough and read a little on booting methods to get
bricked phone into download mode you will succed if not then your
not for the world of trial and error... the main thing is do the
first steps I said before until it works
1. Get into Download Mode (WITH THE PHONE PLUGGED IN) by
following the steps below
*Turn off the phone until you get to the charging battery screen
(keep in mind, your phone is currently PLUGGED IN)
*Press volume up and down, and power all at once.
*As soon as the screen turns black, release your power button.
2. Unplug phone from USB
or try
2. Remove everything from your phone (SD card, sim, battery).
3. Plug your phone into your computer WITHOUT the battery, as you
have already taken it out in the last step.
4. Press and HOLD vol. up and vol. down.
5. As you are HOLDING these buttons, reattach your battery.
6. You should be in Download Mode.
7. Unplug phone from USB
any how try try try until it works
Once in download mode
Get your files together for your phone, and use Odin 1.85.
Plug into Odin and make sure it shows yellow and its added!
1. Now if your files have like 3 files and the exact .pit file
for your phone
I found mine here
http://www.droidevelopers.com/showthread.php?
11722-Download-OPS-amp-PIT-files
2. Click the PIT button and browse to your exact .pit file for
your phone *It should now have added a check in the re-partition
box under the options area of the Odin window. If not CHECK IT!
***If you don't have your .pit don't worry about this unless you
suspect, or have a bad partition
3. If you have just 1 file just click the PDA button and load the
file. If you have 3 then you will load the PDA file in PDA, the
Modem file into PHONE, and the CSC file into CSC, there are way
too many phones to link all the files so get you stuff together!
4. Now hit start.
5. When done and the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE
Logo or whatever... immediately unplug the battery from the phone
to shut it down.
6. Now put it back in and start it in Upload mode by pressing Vol
Up, Home at the same time then the Power button.
7. As soon as the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE
Logo or whatever let go of all buttons and using the Vol Up down
Choose the Clear Cache option and go through and make sure you
factory reset it if you can just for good measure.
8. Reboot
9. Now when the phone shows the first sign of starting up IE Logo
or whatever take out battery again to power off
10. Now put it back in and start it in Download mode by pressing
Vol Down, Home at the same time then the Power button.
11. Once in download mode Hook up to Odin again and flash it with
a root kernel for your phone. Do not ask me just find it. I did
it took time but I got all the files together over several days
of reading and collecting the correct ones.
12. When done and the phone shows the first sign of starting up
IE Logo or whatever... immediately unplug the battery from the
phone to shut it down.
13. Now put it back in and start it in Upload mode by pressing
Vol Up, Home at the same time then the Power button.
14. In most roots you will now have a advanced or mounting
options and more options to use.
15. I cleared the Cache again, Cleared the Davilik Cache, Went
into a option and actually mounted the cache formatted the Cache.
16. Use the option now to restart the phone...
And mine started up installed the apps and I am up and running,
nice and smooth and no issues so far
I hope this helps out someone whos just about to go off the deep
end, as I was there and patience and trial and error came up with
this step by step way to recover mine. Thank me by hitting the
little thumbs up THANKS button below this post.

[Q] Can't get into recovery...

For some reason I can't boot into recovery mode. Yesterday I tried to flash the PAC ROM but got stuck in the "PAC is loading" screen. I had to turn off and flash back to stock with RSD light. Now, I can't get into my recovery (TWRP 2.5.0.0). When I use adb to get to recovery I get a screen with a fallen over android with its hood open and a a red triangle with a exclamation mark in the middle. I've tried to re-flash TWRP but that doesn't change anything. I'm assuming this is some kind of error, anybody know what to do? I've also tried to use cwm but I can't get into that either.
Also, how do I not get stuck in that "PAC is loading" screen when flashing?

The easiest way to get into recovery is to power down, hold all three buttons and select recovery. Try wiping data after flashing PAC. Make sure your boot loader is unlocked.

couple of things:
1.) battery could be low, and thus unable to boot up. I would suggest plugging it in (outlet, not PC). let it sit for 15 minutes. you should see the battery charging screen. after waiting 15 minutes, try to get into recovery via power+volume up+ volume down, then select recovery
2.) doing the RSD could wipe the recovery - are you able to boot up normally into the ROM? if not, make sure you have all of the drivers installed on your PC, and re-read the installation instructions (I'm sure you already have, but sometimes going over them again might open your eyes up to something you forgot)
I'm not sure where it is, but see if you can boot into safemode (google search for it).
my only similar experience is when I tried to install a custom kernel on PAC, and nothing would display on my screen (despite me hearing notifications). I tried several times to get back into TWRP, but finally got it after pressing the three buttons, waiting about 10 seconds, pressing volume down one time, then volume up once (the pattern to get into recovery)
hope this helps.
RSD flashes your stock recovery again.
Hold volume up + down + power, wait for 5 seconds for the phone to power off.
Then hold the same, volume up + down + power to get into your menu screen, select adb fast boot and flash your recovery. (fastboot flash recovery YOUR_RECOVERY_FILE.img)
Power + Volume Down (-) = Reboot
During reboot:
Press and hold Volume Up (+) = Recovery
Press and hold Volume Down (-) = Fast Boot
Press and hold Volume Up (+) and Volume Down (-) = Boot Menu

HELP Razr M stuck on Reboot

My Razr M was a bit sluggish so I restarted it. Now it's stuck on the screen with the pulsating Motorola logo. I can reboot using the power & volume keys but that's it. It will not turn off. I can't get it to the system recovery options. It is not rooted.
I just bought a new phone so it's not the end of the world, but I was still have a few files that I need to transfer from my Razr M. I can't get access to the phones' memory buy connecting it to my PC.
Any help would be greatly appreciated & rewarded with cookies.

If it's not a hardware issue, you could reflash the operating system without deleting your userdata partition. App settings etc. might get deleted tough.
You'll need RSD Lite and your firmware version from here. Extract it, and delete the line which erases the userdata and just to avoid problems also delete any lines that contain "GetVar", "var" or "oem" Don't forget to save the changes.
Go into fastboot mode first:
Turn off or reset your phone first by pressing and holding Volume-up + Volume-down + power for a few seconds until your phone switches into “Boot Mode Selection Menu”, scroll down with Volume-down to highlight “AP Fastboot“ then press Volume-up to select it, you will get into ”AP Fastboot Flash Mode“.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then open RSD Lite, select your modified XML file and flash by clicking "Start".
No sure what my firmware is other than JB. I'm also in Australia. Those firmwares all say US, does that make a difference?
Yes, I assumed you have the XT907 (Verizon). But if it's the Australian XT905, you would need an appropriate firmware.
Have you attempted to boot into the stock recovery?

Fastbooting does nothing. Guess I'm just gonna have to accept that it's bricked.
So you flashed the system and it still doesn't boot properly?
Maybe there's something wrong with the userdata (but rather unlikely). The last chance would be to erase this partition too (leaving the appropriate line in the XML). If it's still bricked after it, then it's a hardware issue.
I put the firmware on an SDcard & put the card in the Phone. That's as far as the process will go. Nothing else will happen.
I believe the stock recovery cannot install images from SD cards. So that won't work.
There's no other way to get anything on the phone. When I try & connect it to the computer via USB nothing happens.
You have to go into fastboot mode first, then you can connect it.
And that's the problem; it won't go into fastboot mode.
It has to. You wouldn't see the Moto logo otherwise. Press and hold Power and both Volume buttons, wait until the phone resets (and a few more seconds) and then release just the Power button. You should see the options menu, where you can select fastboot (or even just recovery as poppers162 suggested).
I've done that. It never works. All it does is go back to the logo. Nothing else.
It has to.... If that didnt do it. Hold vol down + power for ten seconds once you see the screen flicker hold vol down + vol up... Then select which ever option you need...or if its rebooting over and over then just hold vol up + vol down and wait on the reboot
