Don't "play" with your phone if you don't know what you are doing!

Did you pull out the battery? My PLAY didn't respond before until I pulled the battery. Happened from installing an incorrect kernel.

The fact that your phone vibrates when you push the power button means it may not be dead yet...
Pull out the battery and re-insert it, but don't press the power button. Hold down the search button and connect the usb plug to see if fastboot mode starts up.

If you read the output, you have a bad block in boot partition, so doomlords kernel is too big now, your stuck with stock kernel.

i'll keep it in mind!

I've often had bad block encountered error messeges when things have not gone well, but i've never had anything actually stuff up permanently, despite the rom being damaged being the logical conclusion from that error, u can always try other versions of the kernel or another version of fastboot tool, either might fix your problem... hell, it might just not like that particular kernel for some reason, similar things happened on my old phone but there was never anything wrong with it, even 6 months later, so dont give up just yet.

Can't unlock bootloader on my Nexus 7

I'm trying to unlock bootloader.
After command "fastboot oem unlock", I get the error:
Code:
(bootloader) erasing userdata...
(bootloader) erasing userdata done
(bootloader) erasing cache...
(bootloader) erasing cache done

Drivers installed. Device is new. Bought yesterday.
How to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

What bootloader version?
Try this:
- Power off
- Power on into bootloader/fastboot mode
- on the PC: fastboot reboot-bootloader
- now try again
this usually fixes those kinds of problems for me.

Bootloader version 3.34.
fastboot reboot-bootloader did not help(( displays the same error.

I haven a friend with a new N7 delivered with 4.1.2 on that same bootloader, 3.34. He cannot update to 4.2 OTA. I even tried to sideload it for him with no luck. All I can deduce from this is that that JB version should not exist with that version of bootloader. Something seems borked.

How to enable debugging mode in fastboot or recovery mode? I think, that I cant unlock bootloader because debugging mode turned off. I cant turn on my device, it hangs on boot animation(like letter X).
Yesterday I download file via uTorrent. My device freezes. I turned him off. And he refused to boot(hanging on boot animation).

I've booted my device in APX mode.. How to flash bootloader on my device with NvFlash?

Try updating the bootloader and then trying to unlock.

Hold VolumeUp and press the Power button - or something like that - and the menu will show up.

By this combination I go in APX mode...

I meant while the android with the red "!" shows, not while powering on.

When I'm using this combination when red !, apx mode is loading too.

Are you forgetting to release the buttons again, maybe?

Sorry for my english, I don't ynderstand you.
I did so:
Connected my device to PC.
Booted into fastboot by pressing all keys.
Selected recovery mode. Displayed "android with !".
I holded "volume up" and "power" button for 15 seconds. And then apx mode booted

Don't hold the buttons like forever.
Press them and release them again, also try some other combinations if that one doesn't work.
If you keep torturing the powerbutton, of course the device eventually reboots.
Be creative.
Use common sense.

Thanks... but when I'm using "wipe data/factory reset" - my device freezes, and when I restart him there is no changes, and I also can not unlock my bootloader.

I think that to unlock bootloader needs debugging mode. In recovery mode there is menu item "apply update from ADB". So I can enable adb. How to unlock bootloader or flash by this way?

[Q] Electrify M 'safeboot'

TITLE IS SUPPOSED TO READ "[Q] Electrify M 'fastboot' " NOT SAFEBOOT, OOPS
I've tried to go into fastboot mode multiple times to no avail, both from a powered on state and a powered off state.
So what actually happens when you go into fastboot mode?
All I've managed to get is a thing white line screen flash and then the phone booting as normal.
Trying to root this damn phone and in order to do that I have to apparantly unlock the bootloader?
Following THIS GUIDE (whoops cant post the link - 'motorola-global-portal.custhelp.XOM/app/standalone/bootloader/unlock-your-device-b') I just cant get the phone to do anything.
I'm able to sync/see the device with fastboot and ADB from the SDK but other than that I can not get it to work.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Also when trying THIS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940630) root method it asks to perform a similar key press and upon doing that the phone just reboots.
When following the Motorola guide all I get is this, it just sits there.

I feel like an idiot now...
This should be in a guide somewhere.
In order to load into fastboot on a Motorola Electrify M you need to
Turn off your phone
Hold BOTH volume buttons down AND the power button
Use the Vol Dwn button to select fastboot
Use Vol Up to select and launch fastboot

Use this to root Electrify M:
(after trying for hours with other tools this one instantaneously worked)

ODD, I guess the Motorla website is wrong then.
I figured the Razr M was just two buttons and for some reason they changed the Electrify.

Use a 2.0 USB port not a 3.0. Turn your phone off. Then hold volume + and - and plug it into your USB. You should here the sound windows makes when it connects. Use msm tool and flash stock.
