You can do it this way:
Battery out
Battery in
press vol- & power
screen should show /!\
press vol- and vol+ the same time
recovery - wipe data...

If you only see black screen you will not make it to recovery, try the boot only or flash your old ROM again.

Ok so i flashed the 3.4.3-3 UK Tmobile Blur sbf, and then i wanted to clockwork mod - flash the update for the swype and market, but it keep getting status error, how do i fix this?

Does RSDLite finish 100% successful and then can't boot? Did you try it without sdcard?

I guess that you have tried to install 2.2 on your XT, and you are in boot loop (M logo), but you can enter bootloader mode, and if you do RSD lite shows imei, and other data something like this: "000x000000x00"?
some XT720 have problems with open recovery (possible?) and if you flash OR and put 2.2 on it you will brick your mobile (I managed to do that, and a few other people, and unfortunately only solution is motorola repair center - you can't unbrick it)
for others:
I think that you can test if your mobile is gonna be bricked in a simple way...
root your phone, download "ledmeknow" from market, and if there isn't detected any LEDs then don't flash 2.2 on your phone
EDIT
I see that you can enter open recovery...if you can, then you are safe
just wipe all data from it, flash new sbf and you will be fine

Not replying back so must have resolved it.

How can you use OpenRecovery after flashing a SBF? The hijacked sh will be missing... after flashing a stock sbf you have to root the phone and install the OpenRecovery hijacks. If you can't boot, how do you do that? So there must be something wrong with your drivers or RSDlite. You could also try sbf_flash on Linux or MacOS if you think RSDlite is messing up.
On my Milestone XT720 always have to use the Motorola Recovery to do a factory reset after flashing the Motoroi XT720 sbfs because it won't boot immediately after flashing. Not sure if that could be a problem for flashing Motoroi on Motoroi, though.

It's like 4:15am in Korea... he'll be back

I have a few questions of my own regarding that issue. I have Dexter's ROM installed on my Motorola Milestone XT720.
Everything works fine, even though I've had to reinstall the ROM along the way.
Total noob question:
Can I boot my XT720 into recovery mode if it won't boot up at all? (Motorola logo stays on screen, nothing else happens)
I have a recent boot/system/data backup in my nandroid folder, what's the quickest way to recover it when android won't start up?
Basically I seem to have this problem here:

I have the image but I need an .sbf file for RSDlite ... or does that not make sense?

Please Help: Stuck since last 3 days, cannot install any rom

Phone: Rogers i896
I have been through Multiple stock Roms of 2.1, 2.2, 2.3
Lets take a simple example of 2.1 where I flash into CWM, install CM7 but I am stuck in install loop, all it does is tries to install, shows me flashing screen which is way too quick for me to read and but I have managed to read some lines and they probably say
E: Cannot find or Cannot update
No Such file or Directory
Like I said, since last 3 days - whatever I do I am stuck in that. I have tried formatting internal SD Card, tried to install from External SD Card but no go

Boot into cwm, factory reset, install from sd card. If you boot loop, repeat procedure again.

Sometimes you have to hold the recovery buttons down for a long while, at least 4 or 5 flashes of the i896 page. This worked for me a few times (Rogers i896). But the only thing I found that worked when I got stuck in boot loops was flashing stock Froyo with Heimdall. Can you boot into download mode?

Pull the battery, reinsert battery,then with phone off, press volume up + volume down + power. Hold those buttons until you see the first boot screen. Hold it about 5 seconds, then release.

OK, so I went to recovery mode - deleted factory/clean - and tried with MIUI - that worked?? can I install CM 7 on top of MIUI?

That's good to hear. MIUI is a very good ROM and is based on CM7 so there should be no problem flashing CM7.1 from MIUI (I do it all the time). Go into ROM manager and flash CWM to 3.x before flashing CM though.

Sweet, that worked too. I now have CM7 - would it better to CWM and factory reset now? so everything is clean or not recommended and/or doesnt matter?
I have used MIUI - few drawbacks, some apps dont work + screenshot is not as simple as CM7

Did you do the wipes in CWM before you installed the zip? If so I wouldn't worry about it if not a reset doesn't hurt.

Copy Rom to sdcard.
Go to download mode (Vol- + Vol+ + USB plug PC)
Use odin and flash to stock JF6
Feed talon 1.2 --> CWM --> factory reset --> install zip file -> choose zip file --> new rom

How are you getting to the bootloader to flash sbf with broken volume up? As far as I know bootloader is volume-up + camera while powering on. Maybe it's only partially broken?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

i used volume down + camera button and power on to get to bootloader. is there a way to boot my phone from bootloader to open recovery using adb set up? if so, can u link me the application i will use. ive been so eager to fix my phone its been 3 month since it broke. any suggestion for fixing it? thnx in advance

hey guys i found something http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1210343 can i use easyadb to boot from bootloader to openrecovery coz im not so familiar android sdk.

i run adb or terminal but my phone is not recognised i already installed usb drivers for xt720. any steps to boot my phone in recovery using pc?

Which sbf are you using?
I think it's possible to create a synthetic sbf that wipes /data and /cache, must many of them should already do that. There's always a risk that the reboot is caused by something else father than lack of wipe. IIRC this usually happen after boot animation.
Anyway, I'm wondering if you're trying to flash the modsbf--that will never boot after sbf.

i used us brightpoint and all other sbf but still it keeps rebooting after m logo.wont go through bootanimation.i havent tried to flash modsbf. mioze wer can i get the synthetic sbf that wipes all? if ever it exist can u link me the sbf?
thnx in advance

The brightpoint is already a full flash that should wipe /data and /cache (it contains empty /data and /cache). Some of the Korean ones are service flashes that don't wipe data which is why I asked. (Don't bother with modsbf--you must have working stock recovery for that to work) The idea would be to use sbf-depacker to create a sbf that only has data.img and cache.img taken from eg the brightpoint, but I don't think that will help here since brightpoint doesn't work... I assume you've tried flashing and booting with the sdcard and sim removed?

hi!
pables123, how did you root your phone?
with superoneclick, or?

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...?
