[Q] attempted root - Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i attempted to root my phone, made it through running motochopper. Then I messes up. I was in the stock recovery menu and accidentally hit the wrong menu. I'm not gonna lie I'm way new at this.
My phone is saying "you can now send the package you want to apply to the device......." and i can't get it to do anything else. It'll make that font go away but the open android is the only thing showing.
Thank you for any help!

that is why YOU DONT FLASH STUFF FROM OTHER SGS PHONES ON YOUR FASCINATE. this has been beaten to death time and time again on every forum, its getting really annoying to continue to see these threads
but yeah try and push all the odin files again, system, kernel, cwr
PDA
and they do get pushed to pda not phone right? If this doesn't work what can I do to get my phone back.
lol, funny that shortly after reading a thread about people screwing up their phones, this pops up.
Check the threads at the top of the development forum.

I would suggest this or calling (800) 922-0204 and hoping for the best
There has to be a way to get the phone working again?
anyone!!
Try the latest package posted by Adryn and see if that works. If it doesn't, then I think hoping that it can be replaced is your only option.
Well, if it's a lag fix issue. You may need a new mbr as well. In case you are wondering, mbr is master boot record.
Look up adrynalyne's voodoo fix as well. Start there.

Noob Here Needing Major Help! Unrooting and Rooting

Okay, so I have rooted my Droid eris several times and have downloaded and installed kaosfroyo, vanilla, and plain Jane. I have reverted back to the "stock" Rom with this program on the computer. I have clockwork mod on this because i have seen this name in the text while it installed. So now I think I'm on the stock but I'm not fully sure. I want to unroot this phone completely and make it back to how it was when you would open up a brand new box. Then i was to go through and install the, in your opinion, the best rom out there. Now for the probem, when I go to install a new Rom, I turn off the phone completely, hold down volume down and end buttons, then when the menu comes up I push up on the volume button and i get the picture of an Eris with a red triangle and an exclamation point. That disables me from doing anything. It does the same thing when I turn the phone off and hold volume up with the end button. To fix it, I just turn off the phone and let it boot up normal. Is there any fix for this? Please keep in mind that i am a super dummy when it comes to this stuff so I don't fully understand the technical terms and would appreciate explanations.
Thank you so much for your time and help.

By program on the computer do you mean you ran the ruu from verizon to put the stock software back on the phone? If that's the case I beleive you have probably unrooted the phone and will need to re root. I may be wrong but I think the ruu also flashes the original recovery which is why your not able to boot into it.

I would assume that's what it was. I know it is rooted now because i went through this process to root it after i ran tht program. I don't remember what one it was specifically however i know it had a progress bar on the top right while it installed and had the screen of holding down volume and end button to turn on the phone.
if you are rooted then under your program list you should have superuser permissions icon .. if you dont then you may still be rooted but not likely .. if you do not see that, you can simply go to the market and download a program for root users only and if it doesnt work on your phone then you know you are not rooted .. happy hunting

Even if you re rooted afterwards you may need to reinstall recovery...i reccomend you use amons recovery. You can find directions in one of the how-to root threads around here.
problm solved

[Q] Is this what they call a soft brick?

Hello ladies and gents,
So I'm a total noob and I think I bricked my phone.
I got root by using the motochopper tool
then I went for custom recovery, but I think I flashed the verizon version instead of the ATT version (I was trying to install the Google Wallet fix with a custom rom)
Rebooted the phone, I get an unlock symbol and samsung custom
I can boot into recovery mode and I still have root access / command line.
The phone either boots to black screen with a oscillating blue light or if I go into the other mode it says 'downloading'
Anything I can do to get my phone back working? Did I totally brick it?
Yes, if you see anything on the screen, that would be a soft brick, you are getting the unauthorized screen, then you need another kernel for sure, lets start there...
You really should either put your device in your information screen or tell us what type of device you have, that is very important.
I can not tell you what kernel, not knowing what device has the problem.
I see you mentioned att, is it US or Canadian version?
These are a must when you are seeking help.
I have the AT&T US Version of the S4, 1337
And now it seems I've made it worse, I reinstalled a new Rom, now I can't boot into recovery at all. It goes blank after the Samsung custom screen. Still can ADB into it though.

Do you have any type backup? Have you tried, power off phone. hold down power button and volume up at same time, when it vibrates, let go of the power button, it should go into recovery, and lets try restoring your backup.
Your problem is you have the wrong kernel loading, flash a ATT kernel once in the recovery, it will boot.

Just ODIN flash the stock firmware for ATT I337 and re-root? That's what I would try.

I agree Ax's solution is simpler, but OP said that he cannot boot to recovery.

But he can adb so he can push the kernel onto his phone and flash in recovery
Edit: my bad, he did say he can't boot into recovery. Odin is his best bet.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
he hasn't answered the get into recovery yet, nor has he said he has a backup. I was trying a simple solution. Then we can move on to the odin back.

root issue

I updated my android to 4.3. since then I lost the root permissions. The phone shows as being unlocked when I start it up. when I have tried different programs or apps, I can't get the permissions back. One program I have tried, sorry, don't remember the name, said it was going to reboot the phone, but that never happened. I used it with my older version of android and it worked fine.
When I got into recovery mode, I the the android robot with the red !, saying no command.
I wanted to see if anyone knew what might be going on and what I could do to get back my permissions.
Thanks

Android 4.3 contains security fixes that require root to be updated. Download the SuperSu v1.55 zip from http://download.chainfire.eu/346/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.55.zip and copy the file to the Nexus' internal storage. Reboot the phone to recovery and install UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.55.zip from Clockworkmod or TWRP, then reboot the phone. You should now be able to grant privileges to the apps that require root access.

The big issue I am running into is when I try to go to recovery, I get the dead android and "no command" error.

you updated stock, so you now have the stock recovery, thats the "dead" android. flash a custom recovery via fastboot, then flash the supersu su binaries via your new custom recovery. youll be fine, make sure to stay away from root toolkits or you will nwver learn anything, like this. this is such a basic thing to know to do, yet people that use root toolkits dont know.
OK, I'll have to try that tonight or over the next couple of days when I have a chance. Thank you.

if you dont know how, read a little. its really easy. its a matter of typing one line into a command window
OK, I've tried it, but it doesn't seem as if the computer is communicating with the phone. I have also tried one of the auto programs to do it, but it gets stuck at "waiting for device." If I reboot the device and try to get into recovery mode, I just get a dead android saying "no command" I can't get any other options to try to reset the devices back to factory settings.
I have tried the reset option in the settings menu, but It still saves information and doesn't take the phone back to 4.2, which is what I first had.
I'm hoping someone has some ideas on what I can do. On the other hand, I am planning on upgrading my wife's phone. I might just get a new one, and give her this one, although I'm not sure if I want to get a nexus, maybe a different one this time.

install the right drivers. and dont use one of those "auto" programs, thats why you dont know what you are doing now.

I did try to do it manually, the phone didn't respond. This is why I also tried a program. You are correct, I don't know what to do from this point.

you need to get the driver installed to your computer, fastboot as well. when its all ready, open fastboot and a command window then and type.. fadtboot devices. then itll see your device(or not if the driver isnt installed). when it sees your device, you need fastboot flash your recovery.. fastboot flash recovery recoveryname.img. then you need to flash the latest su binaries via your recovery(latest supersu will work).

[Q] Can I Fix this?

Hello!. I'm trying to buy an LG G2 from someone but the problem is it's not booting. His explanation is a bit ambiguous. He says he was trying to make an update, whether OTA or trying to flash some custom ROM, he didn't say, and while doing so "the wifi disconnected and everything had been wiped." When he powers the phone on, it goes through the LG logo into CWM Advanced Menu. (see attach)
I asked him if he can get to recovery or download mode and he replied that he couldn't check because he's not at home.
I've used CWM and TWRP in the past, trying to flash different types of ROMs on different devices, but I've never accessed CWM Advanced Menu, nor do I know why it's booting into it.
What i need to know is: Can I fix this? Has anyone experienced this or had to deal with it in some way? Should i buy it?
Thank you!
From the image looks like your in recovery, and using clockworkmod 6.0.4.4 in the advance menu, try selecting the go back at the bottom and see if you get to the main menu. From there you can see if there is a backup and restore. Just a thought, i use twrp so not that versed with cwm.
Yea, the thing is, i cant access the phone myself, and when i asked if he can "go back" he said that he can't. That's the screen the phone boot into, and you cant go back from there.
