I bricked my XT907 and it won't boot. When I power it on, it goes to the red Motorola logo and after about 10 seconds or so, it disappears like it usually would, but nothing happens. I managed to figure out how to boot into one of the recovery modes...Yes there are two: The alleged universal Droid Master reset and Motorola's...or Verizon's?
Method one: I boot into the recovery screen (NOT the Droid one) by pressing and holdiung FIRST, volume up, then volume down and power. I hold all three for a few seconds and the Motorola logo comes up. I then release the power button and up comes the recovery screen which gives me the options I need to reset. I scroll to reset and press power (enter) and nothing happens. I then press volume up, according to Verizon's site and it just boots back to the red Motorola logo. I try this again and I can't select anything from the menu.
Method two: I do the same above steps until I get to the same recovery screen. I press volume up again and back to Motorola logo. Press and hold volume up and power until it boots to the Droid screen with an '!'. I AM able to select options. So I select factory reset, it goes through the steps and back to the menu. No errors. I select reboot and it does it's thing, the Motorola logo pops up then 10 seconds, disappears and again nothing.
Method three: Volume up and hold power. Screen goes to fastboot mode. I plug it into the PC and enter ADB terminal...
fastboot devices
Device and serial listed
fastboot erase userdata
Bootloader repeats itself 3 or 4 times and tells me the action isn't allowed. Then to test my patience even more, i goes through the steps of erasing the device, and tells me it's completed its task even though it really hasn't.
At this point I am pretty sure there's no recovering from this. Any advice, besides telling me to get a new phone?

From what I understand, the bootloader is locked and cannot be unlocked (So long as Motorola and or Verizon hold the codes and or files hostage). So I can't flash anything unless the files I'm attempting to flash, are officially signed by Motorola.
Nonetheless, I will look at it when I get home from work and give it a shot. About the only thing I've been able to do is wipe the data through the Droid with the '!', allegedly. I'm not even sure that worked. If it did, it's been wiped twice. I guess the positive part if there is one; I have been able to keep it booted and powered on in fastboot, only connected via USB though.

Yes. It does...well did. It took me a few tries to get it into fastboot. Hooked it up to USB as soon as the screen came on. I missed I step or two the first time I tried to flash it. When it got past step 10 during the process, I was excited. Worked perfectly. Thank you so much. As old as this one is, it's been my favorite to tweak and 'hack.' thanks very much for your help :highfive:

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
I recently got the update for 4.4 notification, clicked it but then the installation froze on a picture of android with an exclamation in his belly.
After that I could no longer boot to bootloader or recovery.
I tried fastboot but I cant not install the drivers as I cant boot to bootloader.
So I tried NRT and managed to get my recovery back (TWRP), but still no bootloader.
I have the option to return to stock on NRT but I am afraid it will fail and brick my N7.
I have SuperSU, flashify and TWRP apps running now with TWRP recovery also bootable.
How can I get my bootloader back?

Hi, Siddy1200...
If you had no bootloader... nothing would work... at all.
The bootloader underpins everything you do with your Nexus 7. Nothing happens without one... in which case , you'd be effectively HARDBRICKED.
The fact that stuff is working indicates that your bootloader is fine.
To access the bootloader manually... shut down the Nexus 7 completely.
Press and hold the VOL DOWN button...
Whilst holding, press the POWER ON button, for around 5-10 seconds...
You should now boot into the bootloader.
This key press sequence should also work if you CAN'T shut down the Nexus 7 normally... for example, if you're bootlooping. I've had a few scary moments myself in the past, and the VOL DOWN+hold, POWER ON sequence has always thrown me back into the bootloader...
Rgrds,
Ged.

I can't boot to boot loader, that means when I power on with vol- pressed, then select boot loader and press power , it doesn't work. The screen flashes for a second and it is back to the previous screen to where I can choose restart, recovery, boot loader,etc.
This also happened with recovery but I fixed it, now I'm trying to fix the bootloader

Apologies, Siddy1200... but I'm a little confused... based upon my reading of your post... I think you're already in the bootloader!!.
"...it is back to the previous screen to where I can choose restart, recovery, boot loader,etc..."
The bootloader features a green android, lying on its back, with it's belly open - some really tiny text at the lower left hand side of the screen giving details about the current bootloader version and it's lock state. At the upper right hand side of the screen, adjacent to the power button, are selectable options via the POWER BUTTON, which can be cycled through with the VOL BUTTONS... and these options are START, RESTART BOOTLOADER, RECOVERY MODE, POWER OFF... and then START again.
Somewhat similar to your above quoted description.
Selecting RESTART BOOTLOADER will just bring you back to where you already are... ie., the BOOTLOADER.
Also, if you can't access the bootloader, how are you managing to boot into TWRP?... as this is normally done via the bootloader... ie, by selecting the RECOVERY MODE option.

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

I went to factory reset my completely stock and never rooted Nexus 10. It rebooted in to recovery and started "Erasing". It did this for a few hours. If I power it down, it will power back up and go right back to "Erasing" and never erase. If I hold power and volume up on this Erasing screen, I can see "Erasing /data", but it never shows any other status. I cannot boot in to recovery, it will only go to the Erasing screen - I never get the recovery menu. I can boot in to fastboot, but I cannot get the fastboot cli program to recognize the device. I've tried installing drivers for it multiple ways with no success. I figure if I can get in to fastboot I should be able to fix this device, but I'm stuck. Can anyone help?

I know the Nexus 10 takes longer to do stuff like that than other devices but I have never had it stuck on erasing for hours. If you hold down the power button long enough, will it reboot? If you can time it right, you should be able to hold the Power + Volume up + Volume down and hopefully get into the recovery. I think it has to be all three buttons. Not just Volume up. At least that takes me to the bootloader screen.

If I hold in power, it will reboot. It does not stay powered down. And when it comes up, it goes right in to "Erasing" again. I thought volume down as Fastboot and Up was Recovery (or maybe the other way around). I will try holding in both volume up/down at the same time instead. I might have tried it in my rage when this happened, but can't remember, so will try it for sure when I charge it back up again (it eventually stops because the battery just dies).

I've always held all three buttons with my Nexus devices and it takes me to the bootloader. You could be right about volume down being Fastboot and Up being Recovery but I'm not 100% sure. There should be a way of getting out of that though. If you just did a factory reset, I don't think it would have messed with recovery or anything.

From https://source.android.com/source/running.html#booting-into-fastboot-mode
Booting into fastboot mode
During a cold boot, the following key combinations can be used to boot into fastboot mode, which is a mode in the bootloader that can be used to flash the devices:
manta Press and hold both Volume Up and Volume Down, then press and hold Power
Hopefully, this thread is still followed....
So, about 6mos ago, my Nexus 10 stopped working and I couldn't get it back working...eventually moved onto a new tablet, which now I hate....
Anyway, I figured I'd head back to my N10 because I loved it. However, one of the reasons I left it was because it was stuck in bootloop and I was pretty sure it was bricked.
The bad news, I have followed MANY, if not ALL, of the suggestions on getting it back, I just cannot get it to boot. The good news, fastboot connects with the tablet. So, some specifics:
The tablet WILL boot into fastboot and I can send commands and the tablet is unlocked (also, I believe someone said they had issues because they had an older version of ADB and Fastboot. I'm pretty sure I downloaded the 'most current' version 1.4.3). So, with that, I was able to do the fastboot erase functions, such as cache, userdata, system, etc... and then also load the bootloader (mantafm01) and also send the stock .zip file (image-mantaray-....) and the tablet appears to load everything fine. Thumbs up, right? However, when it reboots it stops at the 'erasing' android bot and will not pass that. I left the tablet in that state for a few minutes all the way up to 3 days...no success.
I also tried the above using Wugfresh only to have the same thing occur. So, basically, I am stuck at 'erasing' and I don't know what to do. I feel confident that the tablet has the ability to be brought back to life, I just cannot figure out how/why all of the attempts lead to the same issue.
What I can also tell you is that while fastboot 'sees' the tablet, the tablet does not appear as a device in "My Computer" like it normally did when connecting via USB. I am using the original USB cable and have tried on multiple computers, all to no avail. I've downloaded/installed the drivers, as instructed on many links. Also, while I can get to the 'Recovery Mode' by pressing Power, Volume Up, Volume Down, if I choose "Recovery Mode" on the tablet, it reboots and goes to the 'erasing' screen. I have tried flashing TWRP on the tablet using fastboot as well. And, sometimes, not all the time, the TWRP blue/black screen appears but it will not progress past that screen (i.e., it doesn't go into recovery).
So, if you can, please help. I believe I have followed all of the instructions, but I have to be missing something or not following something correctly. I'm stoked that it looks like it's only soft-bricked, I just can't get it un-bricked.
Thanks in advance!
Completely wiped all files while manual cleanup via twrp. Next thing I remember is rebooting device which is stuck in moto boot logo.

You probably deleted your operating system (ROM), you need to get into the bootloader and either flash a new ROM or use fastboot to flash back to stock.
Press and hold Power until the screen goes out, then press Power + Vol Dn immediately and hold until the bootloader screen comes up (might have to play with the timing a little). You should then be able to access fastboot or start TWRP.

I posted this (below) to another thread, but I've seen how well you apply your knowledge base to these types of situations, and I thought I'd run it by your expertise:
Got a NOS Moto X Pure Edition xt1575 and experienced some kind of rooting glitch after having unlocked the bootloader and installing TWRP. Long story short, after a frantic bout of wiping and swiping, the OS is gone, I can't select the micro SD in TWRP, and adb/fastboot only sees the phone in recovery. I found this thread, which seemed promising, but it appears to be a no-go without access to the bootloader. I've flashed so many custom ROMS to a tablet I have, that I thought this phone would be a cakewalk, but it seems to have rolled right over me. So, is it time to slather some mortar on this thing and add it to the wall (bricked), or is there a Hail Mary play, or Jiu Jitsu move out there somewhere? Anything...ANY-THING would be welcome and much appreciated. Thank you.

Long story short, after a frantic bout of wiping and swiping, the OS is gone, I can't select the micro SD in TWRP, and adb/fastboot only sees the phone in recovery. I found this thread, which seemed promising, but it appears to be a no-go without access to the bootloader. I've flashed so many custom ROMS to a tablet I have, that I thought this phone would be a cakewalk, but it seems to have rolled right over me. So, is it time to slather some mortar on this thing and add it to the wall (bricked), or is there a Hail Mary play, or Jiu Jitsu move out there somewhere? Anything...ANY-THING would be welcome and much appreciated. Thank you.

I don't understand... Does the phone not boot to the bootloader when you hold the volume key? Have you tried my return to stock thread?
