Getting a screen saying PwrReason: PWR_KEY_PRESS
Unlocked, was running Cyanogen7, wanted to go back to PiCrust. Was wiping battery stats, it took me out of the menu. I accidently went into some other menu and it formatted the phone... Partitioning or something?
Would like to get back to a working phone... I can get into RSD protocol, Fastboot. Recovery spits out an error.
Getting myself the fastboot/RSDLite/drivers again...
Any other guidance would be greatly appreciated...
1) Download CWM, either ROM Manager one (http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-olympus.img) or the romracer one on XDA, either will work
2) Download a ROM
3) boot in fastboot, fastboot flash recovery [the recovery you downloaded]
4) boot in recovery, wipe data and flash a ROM
w00t. almost my plan. I don't have an external card. So already got romracer flashed, but, i think, i'll have to fastboot the 4.5.91 stock rom....so it can format and setup my internal SD card. Then go to picrust. Shame I lost my Pi and Cy7 backups....
edit:
Whew. I thought i had lost everything on the internal sdcard. Once i got romracers cWM back on. and after it failed to flash 4.5.91, i looked around in CWM and was able to see my internal SDCard. Restored my Cy7 for now. My touchscreen was off, but I had backed up my PDS partition a long time ago, flashed that and it was working again.
Now the only "problem" is, on boot, I dont get the Motorola Logo. I instead get a command line style interface. It autoboots to OS in 5s, unless I pick something from the list (RSD,Fastboot,etcetc) Not a HUGE deal, but I hate seeing POSTs on my PCs, so I'd like to get that logo back..or if possible a custom logo?? Any ideas on that?
I have exactly the same problem, could you repair it?? I need to take my phone to de RMA and I have this, I dont know what to do. If you ydgmms or somebody else could give me some help it would be great.
Edit:I could just have installed a recovery but still getting the black screen with the letters.
I leave a screenshot.

Hey guys so I am facing weird problems. I have searched through the forums either I cant find anything or I am too scared to do any more experiments I really dont want to loose my Razr M XT 907.
Problems
Laggy performance at times
Camera gets stuck when I take pictures at times then I have to restart.
when I reboot my phone it shows AP Fast boot screen, then I have to access boot menu and select the second last option (Console something). It always shows Null:Null and when I change it back the phone reboots normally
Phone hangs sometimes and then responds with everthing I have clicked all at once.
The screen on off button responds a second late
I think you guys can help me better if I tell you what I did to this phone exactly since I got this phone.
What I did
I initially bought this phone with defaul OS 4.0.1 in Pakistan.
I then installed a Verizon system update of 250 MB that got my phone stuck on a boot loop (and made me cry almost)
I restored my phone to the settings it came in using this procedure
http://www.andromods.com/tips-trick/how-to-restore-unroot-droid-razr-m-xt907-stock-original-firmware.html
The phone worked fine for 2 days but then I got that update prompt again and it got annoying so I though maybe If i upgrade it to JB using the same RSD Lite method but a different ROM that may solve it.
So I applied the above Procedure using this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250155
The method showed as Passed on RSD Lite but the phone got stuck on bootloop again so I paniced and tried restoring my phone abck to ICS using the method mention in the first link provided.
Then the phone got stuck on AP Boot Menu
Then I used DROID_RAZR_M_Utility_1.20 and used both methods 1 and two but it didnt work
Then out of the blue I went to the boot menu and I saw an option Switch Console (Null:null) I pressed up key on and null null changed to default:tty something it and the phone booted up just fine back to ICS
Now everytime I power off the phone it goes to AP Boot menu showing FASTBOOT REASON: Sticky bit factory_fastboot and I have to do the above to restart the phone.
What I need
Please help me restore my phone I dont want to brick it, I am a simple user I will need step by step guide
Anyone ?

I have the newest philz and some how it can't wipe every time I tell it to wipe it can't do it? I even did another recovery but that one won't install roms this is twrp? Then after when I got a rom to sort of work with twrp recovery I switched thinking that was the problem. After resetting instead that one some how broke adaway and adfree there stuck in a loop and I can't call out that is what happens when I use twrp and I can't flash roms I even checked if the files were broken and they weren't. what recovery works or what is my phone doing with this rom or recovery ?

You didn't give us nearly enough details to know why you are having problems. Lots of people use TWRP without problems and TWRP can certainly install custom ROMs. To have any idea why you are having difficulties, you'd have to give us a detailed, step by step description of what you did with your phone and the error messages that you received.
.
Ok I'm not sure what details to give you I got my phone on I used a rooting process off the unlocker.com for my phone and it worked but my recover doesn't work no mater witch one I use i have s5 g900f for t mobile I'm not sure if I should just try re-rooting my phone maybe? Also the error I'm getting for installing anything is just abort and it can't install because it can't open? and I know the files are not broken tried downloading from computer and phone and saving to my card and the phone. What else do you need me to provide? I'm using the alliance rom that isn't working right because of what is going on with my phone. I can't go back cuz my backups don't work because my recovery isn't working no matter what I use because it will always not complete the restore in either.
I went to get a error message now and now I just get a blank screen in recovery so it's frozen and I can't bring up anything just the name of any rom I try to flash.

Well we can't see your phone. And obviously there is no way to know what is going on if we can see it and you don't describe what you see in detail. For instance you say that you had an error message. But you don't paste the verbatim message here. Don't you think that message might be useful, if not critical.
For effective troubleshooting, you should post a detailed description of what you did, step by step and what was on screen. But I already said that in my last post and you disregarded the suggestion. I'm sure that others will guess at solutions for you. But efficient troubleshooting isn't possible without information.
.
1 If I told you I couldn't post the error message which I did because the recovery screen is blank what do you want me to post? I mean there is nothing on the screen to post there is nothing there because it froze it does not say open or anything there is nothing there unless you want to see a blank background. 2 If you mean what I used to root it would be CF root. Other then that I tried philz and twrp both have the same blank screen when you try to open a zip to install. would you like a black screen for twrp or a or blank purple and pink screen for philz with no text ? I posted that I went for an error message but the screen is blank and I can't make anything happen now. I can't give something when nothing is currently there. I'm just going to flash stock and unroot then root and see if that fixes my problem.
I had the idea of wanting to install the ROM lollipop in my GT-I9300I, but first had to install android 4.4.4. trying many times just stick with the original, as it had before, then I went back to try again, but this time, I wanted to install a rom of India, when I was using odin, the phone restarts and did not turn anymore, no meeting is no way to turn it on, try a hard brick with a good home resistances had seen online, but still does not start, can not I at least do enter some way, if anyone has any solution that can help me. Or tell me to do to fix it.
From already thank you.

Hi everyone, I've searched and tried some solutions for this but the problem is the display is permanently black, not even samsung logo is displayed on bootup.
My GT-i9505 has a CWM recovery installed and a custom ROM, and today it notified me that SU Binary needs to be updated, so I updated it and it said Success, recommend to reboot, which I did.
It seemed to boot up but the display was constantly black. Manually turned it off by holding down power button, then restarted but still nothing.
I have Odin and samsung drivers etc, just not sure if I should try and flash a stock/new Custom ROM from Odin or if theres an easier way to do it (maybe someone can guide me thru the CWM recovery and be my eyes since my screen is Black?)
Please and thank you.
First of all, you better switch to TWRP.
Second, maybe try flashing a SuperSU zip through the recovery.
If that doesn't work, then try dirty flashing your current rom again.

Thanks for the goble-de-goop, I have no idea what you are saying (this is n00b friendly forum topic!) and how can I even try that when there's nothing but blackness on my screen?
It is booting and running, touch is working etc but I'm completely blind. Can someone please try to help with n00b friendly suggestions, will flashing a new Custom ROM work? And I'd like to know what has happened after the SU binary update that caused screen/backlight to become non-functional...
Just to point out, I'm not being rude I am being up-front, the first reply I get from here is exactly what I expected, not n00b friendly but more of a suggestion from a nerd who wants to show the other readers that he really 'knows his stuff', however un-useful it is.
I know a little but not enough to solve this on my own, I'm hoping someone out there see's this and unselfishly suggests something without turning it into debate about n00bs not asking the right questions in the right place at the right time!
My phone doesn't work, I need it to work, stupid SU binary update has screwed it, please help!

...err...wow...
do you have a HDMI adaptor cable aka MHL adaptor or a chromecast type device at home ? it maybe that your screen has just died and that it's nothing to do with the binary (if it's booting normally albeit with a blank screen).

Good idea, I do have chromecast but will need mini HDMI cable/adaptor to check. Although it would be massive odds against random screen death, since it was immediately after reboot from SU binary.
Thanks for the intelligent reply, glad to see there are still some helpful people here.
if you can borrow a lead and your screen is being mirrored you can download an image file of TWRP and flash it with flashify from the store. I doubt screen mirroring works from the recovery
http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify
unzip the attached file and copy it to your SDcard then find it within the flashify app...
Awesome OK that gives me a starting point TY. When I connect the MHL adapter will it mirror automatically or will I have to try to blindly press the mirror symbol? I haven't used an MHL adapter/cable before. If it works then I'll use Flashify and hope it restores the phone screen.
if it's going to work it will work without any selecting of options, it's automatic...
If the you run out of solutions, you could flash a stock ROM back to your phone as this will bring the phone back to the factory settings; however, you will lose your data and installed apps.
If you decide to flash back to stock using Odin, I suggest launching Odin, uncheck everything except f.reset time, connect the phone in download mode, flash the rom, when you see the word "reset" in the status window, remove the USB cable from the phone, remove the battery, wait 5 seconds and replace the battery, boot into recovery, perform a factory reset, and reboot. Be sure to use the stock firmware from sammobile.com for your phone.

Since you said you have CWM recovery and a rom installed I assumed you would knew how to flash stuff. Unless they were flashed by somebody else?
Anyway, flashing SuperSU.zip is as easy as googling for the zip then boot into recovery and flash the zip file.
Unless the recovery is dark too. Then that's a problem.
And flashing the rom again is done the same way. No need for TVs and chromecasts.
Theoretically, flashing the SuperSU.zip should work, as it replaces the binaries.
Flashing the rom should work too. Unless you have a dead screen. Then no software can fix it.
When you're using apps that modify system files things like this can happen. Something may have went wrong during the update.
@GDReaper he's already said "how can I even try that when there's nothing but blackness on my screen?" to your suggestion of flashing via recovery so MHL will help him
1) to see if the phone is running normal minus the screen
2) to replace CWM as you suggested without using recovery (which he won't be able to do even with MHL).

So I probably misunderstood him. He said it is booting and so I thought that, during the booting, the screen works, and only when you are about to go into the OS the screen is black (As it happened to me before). My bad.
If the screen is black during the whole process it means the screen is busted. And it was probably just a coincidence, as I don't really see how updating the su binaries can damage the screen.

Ok thanks man, it's dark in recovery too unfortunately. Will update again after trying the MHL cable. :good:

Ok. Then it is definitely a screen problem. Changing software won't fix it.
You have to get a new screen.
I've tried the cable, no output to HDMI though. Phone is operating but in complete black screen from power on. Have tried to tap the screen mirroring button blindly (by touching all the top system buttons one by one) but no change. This leads me to think it is a software/firmware issue, somehow the SU binary has affected graphics output???
So my only chance now is try to flash using Odin? I have downloaded a new Custom ROM, ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.6.4-20160223-jfltexx but I think I can only flash that one using recovery which will be difficult blind, unless someone can give me precise button sequence. Unfortunately I can't remember exactly what recovery I have on there, but I think it may be the touch version...
I flashed TWRP using Odin no probs, but still no use as screen is still blank from power on.
I was going to revert to stock first but sammobile.com downloads at only 15kb/s so I'm not waiting 2 days for that 1.5gb download.
Can someone please give me a link to a good download for my GT-i9505, that I can flash with Odin. I want a light Custom ROM but if not possible to flash from PC then I'll try stock first.
Thanks,
Hi guys, I have a similar problem. I had a notification saying I need to "Update the #SU Binary". There was issues with the update, it gave me the option of restarting or trying the update again. I selected to try the update again. It failed again and now the screen is black with constant error messages, saying "Unfortunately, Galaxy Apps has stopped", "Unfortunately, S Health has stopped". Pretty much the same error message recurring with every app that would normally run on start up, then the phone just reboots itself every 5 minutes after the error messages have all done a round. I am desperate to recover the data on the phone.

There isn't much you can do. Backup user data and factory reset.
