HELP! Motoroi stuck in boot...

I hadn't even loaded a ROM but I was using Clockworkmod to format my SD card. It rebooted and when it started up again, I got this screen.

It won't stop this even with the hard reset... any ideas?

Clockwork does work for our (720) phones. Not sure about 701's but try these. Put your SDcard in your PC and format it all to Fat32 and wipe all Clockwork material from it. Thus making a clean slate. Then if you are partitioning your card you can use Minitool Home Partition Wizard and it will work for you or you can use GParted. I like Minitool bc it preserves the data on the partition is you want to resize it later on.
Install Open Recovery or Androidiani Open Recovery 3.3 (search google for downloads) follow instructions on installing and viola there you have it.
Once those are installed and partitioned all you'll have to do to get into recovery is hit power and when Motorola M shows up, press and hold Volume up.

I read somewhere on XDA that clockwork fails to distinguish between sd card and internal memory and might partition phone's internal memory. Though bug was fixed on version 3.0.2.6 or higher. Next time to be on a safer side partition it using Linux/windows/mac.
Have you tried reflashing it with RSDLite? It might give your phone a life!

My computer doesn't recognize the phone at all and I can't get past that screen I posted. I can't boot into recovery mode and I can't do a hard reset... I think I got a brick

That screenshot looks like a crashed OpenRecovery. Try using Motorola's recovery. I'm not sure if Motoroi is different, but this is how you enter Motorola recovery on Milestone XT720: https://motorola-global-en-aus.cust...one-xt720---master-reset-/-factory-data-reset
Can you get to the bootloader (power off, hold volume up+camera while powering on)? If so, all you have to do is flash a stock SBF using RSD lite or sbf_flash. You have to try really, really hard to permanently brick these phones.

Finally got it working... thanks everyone

newbee with roms

I have rooted my nexus s 4g using sdk method, I'm thinking of diving into installing the cm-10 but need instructions. Pardon if by chance I'm in wrong forum, but they wouldn't let me swim in the developer pool yet.

Welcome to the world of flashing
WARNING!! this will delete all your apps and data so use a program like titanium backup to backup all of your apps and data.
1. Make sure you have CWM Recovery installed. (If not, download rom manager from the play store and flash it.
2. Download the rom you wish to install, and put it on the root of your sdcard. Plus the gapps if there are any.
3. Turn your phone off and hold the volume + button and power button at the same time to boot into the bootloader. Navigate using the volume buttons and select recovery using the power button. If you have the touch recovery you can use touch otherwise use volume keys and power button.
4. Go into backup/restore and click backup and scroll down and hit yes. (This makes a NANdroid, which is a backup of your stock rom. If anything goes wrong or stuck in a bootloop or just having problems, you can restore your stock rom using this)
5. Hit wide data/factory reset, wipe cache and then go into advanced and click wipe dalvik cache.
6. Go back and click install from sdcard and then choose from sdcard and then choose the rom you want to install.
7. Reboot and it should take about 5 Mins to reboot. (dont worry, everytime you install a new rom, it will take a little longer than usual)
8. Once rebooted, you will be asked to set up your phone like when you first got it.
Well done you just installed your first rom
Happy flashing.

Read this three times, then do it... this has every step from a new phone, so you may skip a couple steps.

Welcome to the NS4G club...now to down to businesses. If you want the east way just use ROM Manager it currently has a CM10 ROM in burnsa. Make sure on the options before flashing you select all 3. So you have a back up and a clean flash. Have fun

[Q] Installing CM10 over another custom mod

Hi guys,
I just bough a used HTC One S. The device has rooted by previous owner. There is a custom rom but I do not know which one it is. I want to install CM10 to my phone. I tried to follow the step from this a video but I have a problem. After writing the "fastboot flash boot boot.img" command, the guy from the video hits the "HBOOT" button but there is no "HBOOT" option in my phone's "FASTBOOT" menu. As far as I guess, because of that, I cannot flash "boot.img" and cannot see recovery menu of this boot. So what should I do in this step, I would be appriciated if anyone could help me.
The video's title is "HTC One X: Jelly Bean CM10 (Cyanogenmod) - How to Install - Cursed4Eva". I cannot add link because of lack of post.

How about... like... Following a guide ment for the one S, instead of a guide for a completely different device?

yea, the right guide for your phone will help!
also, can you still boot into bootloader to make sure phone still works:
do this by pressing vol- and pwr at same time until screen goes black or for about 8-10 seconds. then release power, but continue to hold vol- till phone boots into bootloader. Once there you can use volume rocker to go thru choices and pwr to select. at this point you can press pwr with the FASTBOOT highlighted blue, then then select reboot. Or you can go down to recovery and select it and see if you can get to recovery. if you get stuck just reboot into bootloader as mentioned above.
also, you can check which rom is on phone by going to Settings/About Phone and scroll to bottom. since you don't know that, i would suggest getting much more familiar with the phone and your bootloader screen before flashing roms.
whichever rom you flash, read the OP page carefully and first and last 20 pages of thread. also, include wiping system as part of any full wipe.
recommend TWRP recovery, which you can get thru goo manager from playstore as opposed to cwm.
make sure whether you have an S4 or S3 phone. S4's will run at 1512mhz
anyway read, read, read and make a backup of your phone and sdcard asap

[Q] Nandroid backup

I made a nandroid back up and copied the file onto my computer, after have a screw while installing a rom I have erased everything on my phone. Now i cant work out how to install my back up. Its 2.8gig and i have copied it back on my phone but cant get my phone to register that there is a back up on it. Any help guys? Much appreciated.

If u have any custom recovery installed on your like Clockwork Mod then just switch off your phone --> press power button then when logo appears->> press the Volume down button rapidly then a screen will appear then use volume down button to scroll down to Backup and restore option --> press power button to select then browse to the last backup made

The phone is not registering the back up file. It is essentially just a 2.8 gig file doing nothing.

Did you try making the clockwork folder and putting the back-up file inside the backup folder inside the clockwork folder:highfive:

That has sort of worked. The back up is in there and it can be seen. But when i tell it to restore it its just goes to the standard boot up screen. and when i restart the phone its back to were it was before.
Thankyou for your help so far though.

try to wipe everything and than restore

Pretty much it's just booting normally, rather then in clockwork recovery.

I'm sorry that I can't help you more on this,but thank you very much for giving me 'thanks '.
Actually I am also new to android,just on November of 2012.I joined Xda few weeks ago.I know little about android.Will you be my friend?

Unfortunately yesterday I broke the display of s2 plus, in the internal memory I had a lot of data, like photos and whastapp backup so now I want to make a backup, (Even if it is broken on the top of the screen you see that for even half a centimeter it works) Someone who has the ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.3.1 can kindly tell me what steps I need to do to make a backup in the external memory because I can not see the options that are under
Simply you tell me what line is backup and then what linea is backup to external sd card

Hey XpiroettaBoom !
You Can Get Your Data like Pics & Whatsapp data/backup by Connecting Your Mobile To PC in Internal Memory DCIM Folder is commonly PICS folder Captured by the Camera...
Or You Can Use MOBILedit – PC Suite For All Phones To Get Your Data.....
Or Otherwise This is CWM Method as You Want To Proceed....
Goto your RecoveryMode... IN CWM its good that it works with Hardware buttons...
Below is A Pic of CWM You can Follow the Pic To Judge....
Press 5 times Volume - (down) Button To Go into Backup & restore Option while You are in CWM
One thing I've To confirm If we use External SDcard than We have To Press 6 Times Because "Install Zip From SDcard1" shows up in Menu...
