[Q] D2G wont boot into recovery, even after SBF, help!

ok so heres what happened:
I have a d2g and flashed fission 2.4.3. everything was fine, but i was having an issue where the phone went into recovery if i plugged it to a wall charger and unplugged it fast. so i decided to flash sbf and return it to stock to begin the root/flash process all over again.
after successfully flashing sbf im stuck at the droid/red eye boot animation, i read that i was supposed to then go into recovery and clear/wipe data/cache, only problem is my phone wont go into recovery mode, it only shows the picture of the little android and an exclamation point inside a triangle, can anyone help me?

when you get into the screen with the little android guy, the exclamation point and the triangle, push the button on the keyboard with the magnifying glass, then you can wipe your cache/data

when you get to the android guy and the triangle hit the magnifying glass key on your physical keyboard...then factory reset

thank you guys sooo much! I just wiped data and cache and it fully booted! now i just need to call *228 to activate.

How would I boot into stock recovery on D2G? Power+Vol- Power+Vol+ ? Neither do anything...
(EDIT)
"Power+X" Will boot into stock recovery

Recovery Disappeared
After SBF; my D2G won't let me to recovery ~ stuck at the M LOGO
I tried everything including X+Power but it's as if Recovery is fried , it's lost..
Is it possible that the Keyboard is burned? Is there any other way ; any other key or button combination to boot into recovery? Maybe ADB Shell SU from off power?
So far only Software Upgrade mode works; VolumeUp+VolumeDown+Power
Please help..
P.S. Why do they call RSD Lite? Is there a non-lite full version which may let me boot into recovery using the computer and USB cable?
Thank you in advance//

Your phone went into CWM if you plugged charger and unplugged it fast? Try delete system/bin/hijack and system/bin/ logwrapper,then rename logwrapper.bin to logwrapper?

[Q] boot loop

Hello,
I rooted the phone using SuperOneClick, this worked fine.
Attempted to install clockworkMod (http://modmymobile.com/forums/639-m...lockworkmod-recovery-2-5-1-8-new-version.html)
Attempted to reboot into recovery (via app) and now im stuck in a boot loop, is there any way of getting out of this?
Thanks,
Daniel.

Disable USB debugging after you get root and u should be ok.

Thanks,

Pull out the battery already. Boot normally, disable Usb Debugging and boot into Recovery.

Turn On in bootloader, power on + vol. up
and try to flash a .sbf ROM with RSD lite

What .sbf will i need to flash, i had 2.51 before bootloop. Thanks,
Daniel.

boot in recovery : pull out the batterie, boot with volume down and power.
when you see the android and the triangle, volume down + volume up.
when in recovery, wipe data and cache.
Thats the method I use this night after 4 hours of search to resolve the loop reboot

Stuck at m logo

I have a big problem. My milestone xt720 has been stuck to m logo only. I tried different sbf's using rsdlite, I can only go to bootloader mode 80.89 but still the same. Before this happend I am using xt720mod.sbf with shenqi rom and I load movies and watch suddenly my phone rebooted and always stuck at shenqi bootanimation. I even try going to openrecovery but it stops at the mobile logo with indicator at the boron and I tried also booting to stock recovery and wipe and restore everything but it stills stop at boot animation. So I decided to reflash the sbf. Now I came up stuck at m logo.

What sbf did you flash

Often when switching between sbfs that change the phones partitioning, the first boot doesn't work and I have to do a factory reset in stock recovery.
However, if have xt720mod.sbf don't forget you can reenter OpenRecovery via apply update.zip in stock recovery! (unless you deleted the files on your sdcard, but in that case just take out the sdcard and fix it on a PC)
I'm not sure which sbf you flashed. If you reflashed xt720mod.sbf remember it always gets stuck at (M) after a fresh flash--the ROM in xt720mod.sbf doesn't work --so every time you flash xt7210mod.sbf you must then go to stock recovery and apply update.zip to get into openrecovery and then install a working ROM.

I tried cincinati bell 2.1, korean 39r / 50r, central europe, singapore starhub which is the original. But after rsdlite finished the flashing process and rebooted the phone, it just stops at M or starhub logo. Nothing happens. I can't even go to stock recovery. Only i can switch to boatloader.

It sounds like you're doing all the right stuff to me.
I wonder if your camera and gallery buttons may be not working? Have you tried flashing the same sbf a few times in a row? That's what I'd try first. That might cause something like a factory reset. Also make sure your battery is fully charged. On the other hand, being able to switch between starhub and motorola logos demonstrates that RSD is actually doing something. I guess I'd maybe suspect weak button contact in either the camera or gallery key and I'd maybe try repeatedly to get into stock recovery by pulling the battery while holding the camera and gallery keys different ways...

I think the phone stops responding when stuck at M logo. This is what my phone experience..
-when the phone is off. When i plug it to charger i got no response from the phone that it is charging even i plugged it for 1hr. Totally no indicator. Btw i use universal charger to charge the battery.
-we know that if we flash the original phone sbf it should boot normally, which is the starhub sbf is my original. In my case after rsdlite flashing it reboots the phone and it just stay on the starhub logo until my battery drains out. The screen should flicker once indicating that the phone is booting and should load the bootanimation just like before. But it just stops at the logo.
I tried what you have said but still it stops in there. I tried flashing sbf's many times with full battery charge.
If only i can go to fastboot mode and try to scan if there are bad blocks on the nand.

please help with rooted photon q!!

hello i have a rooted photonQ no roms installed and wifi stopped working.wife was playing with phone and did some update on motorola update and now phone reboots to recovery asking to install update and when i click on yes gives failed update and i reboot into phone and when i access it it boots me back to recovery asking me to install update..can someone please help me..

Do you have a custom recovery installed as well...?
I know you said you are rooted... if you have a custom recovery you can try doing a factory reset, may fix the issue - note you will lose any user settings and data/apps.
If you are on stock recovery, I'm not sure what the issue would be - you "should" be able to take OTA's using stock recovery. You cannot take OTA's if you are on a custom recovery.

i followed this guide to root photon....http://theunlockr.com/2012/09/07/how-to-root-the-motorola-photon-q-4g-smartphone/

Looks like that site has you flash CWM, so your answer would be "yes"....
In which case you can't take OTA's. You should be able to restore your backup in CWM, which I'm wondering if you took...?
If you don't have a backup, you can try doing a factory reset and booting... otherwise you might have to completely reset the device using a FXZ file and RSD Lite.

I would start with factory reset, then move to RSD if you still have issues.
Start with the least painful, and move to the most.

ok so in recovery do a factory reset? if factory doesnt work for instance, what are the instructions to use RSD

Yep.

ok didnt work guess we going to have to try RSD..now phone just stuck on android screen..

sorry for double posting..

So what's the issue? Where are you at? Did you have issues flashing back to stock with RSD?

ok i did the factory restore like you stated last night and now just stays at android screen..i am able to get back in to recovery but thats it..and rsd doesnt pick up device..

Try putting the phone into fastboot mode, and see if RSD picks up the device then.
I believe if you turn off the device, and turn it back on holding the camera button you'll get some boot options.

ok went into fastboot and click on fastboot and phone just rebooted and now its just on the warning bootloader unlocked..

So you hold power + vol down until the phone shuts off. Then hold power + camera (quickly) after it shuts down. It should turn on to a menu, hit volume down until you select "AP Fastboot". Then vol up selects, and you should see the AP Fastboot Flash Mode screen...

Thank you so much ok I'm there now..there might just be a lite at end of tunnel..what do I do now

Try seeing if the phone is detected in RSD Lite, follow the directions in that thread to adjust the XML file provided and try to flash back to stock.

ok i opened up rsdd lite and in description on bottom model says fastboot ASANTI_CS, and in box on top device properties says n/a..

Did you go through the process of adjusting the XML and attempt flashing and it failed or...?
