I had flashed my Motorola XT5 (Z71 variant) to CM 7.0.3 and installed CWM Recovery 2.5.1.3. Everything was going smoothly since 17-Oct-11. I used update-CM-7.0.3-Z71-signed.zip to updated using ROM Manager 4.5.0.1
I installed a few apps from the Market yesterday & they were working fine. Total apps installed = 128. I switched off the phone yesterday night.
This morning, when I switched it on, the Motorola Logo appeared followed by the CM7 Splash Screen (for a little while only). Then the screen went blank (slight glow in the background) and remained like that for several minutes. No buttons working incl. Power. Had to reset the phone by removing the battery.
Tried to boot into recovery by holding 'Camera+Vol Up+Power' buttons. Motorola Logo appears with "Enter recovery" written across on top. remains in this screen for several minutes. Had to again reset by removing battery.
Please Help! I can't seem to figure out what to do. I have a fairly good tech skills. Will follow steps if you're kind enough to guide me. Please.
Enter fastboot
Use it to install the custom recovery.
What is the key sequence to get into Fastboot on Motorola Xt502?
What should I do once I get into Fastboot?
Please guide!
TIA
It's
endcall vol down power
But you need some tools to install recovery.
Other solutions use [SUT] to refresh the firmware '*. nbo'

I have a nexus s i9023, it was running well with 2.3.4 for three months. Got an OTA update for 2.3.6 two days ago, installed it.Im running stock, and the root is locked.
Everything seemed to be running fine on 2.3.6 when last night it just stopped responding and freezing. Taking battery out doesnt help, it again freezes at the colorful x logo or at the unlock screen.
I read on how to do a reset, but pressing volume down and power button gives me only a flash of blacklight (for a millisecond) and then nothing happens. tried it many times. What am I doing wrong?
Pressing volume up and power button gives me a fastboot menu, and recovery mode only gives me an exclamation mark android, then I have to take battery out again. I cannot mount the sd card or do anything else.
Any help or solution is most appreciated guys. Salute.
When you get to recovery, press again power+volume up (i think so), and you'll get some options. You can make factory reset there (as i can remember).
Also, there are many guides here on how to root and flash custom recovery via fastboot.
Check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007782
Just follow it, and when you flash custom recovery, you will be able to mount SD card, flash any ROM etc...
Good luck ...
i have the exacly same problem and i already try full wipe, install other ROM like oxygen and i cant pass the main logo... it's frozing all the time and i need pick up the battery to turn it off... :S
someone can help?
Hi,
I will prefix this (as there are a few people around with this problem who can get into recovery mode) with the fact that holding down Vol- on boot is not getting me to the recovery / bootloader screen.
I have a rooted HTC Desire S (rooted it nearly a year ago, so info about the hboot etc is a distant memory).
Anyhoo, I decided to have a play about with one of the ICS roms but it was a bit buggy and the camera drivers still aren't working for video so I decided to go back to Endymion V3.4 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1310845
I did a full wipe, installed base rom, installed optional addons and then upgraded to 3.4 - booted fine into the OS so set about getting my system set up the way I like it.
I noticed that endy came with a theme installer so clicked on one of them to have a look, it asked for root, said it was installed and would need to reboot to take effect...
SO
the problem is, it now won't boot and is stuck on the white HTC boot screen.
Holding vol+/- and power buttons reset it but it just ends up back hanging on the boot screen.
Have tried pulling battery and trying again.
Holding Volume Down when powering up is no longer doing anything
So, I either need a saviour to point me in the direction of a fix.. or a kindly sould to break it to me gently when they tell me my phone has gone to the USB Dock in the sky..
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
update:
After pulling battery again, pulling out sim and sd cards, booting with vol- held down, i got into recovery. Am going to try and flash a different rom after doing a full wipe, I'll update once it's done but any insights in the meanwhile will still be appreciated
Sorted, cleared the thing out, stuck reaper CM rom on it, rebooted and everything is peachy for now.
Thanks me
Curious if anyone knows why this might have happened?
because you didnt flash the addon zip which was released alongside endymon and then tried to use the addons,it does say on the screen do not use these unless you have installed the addons
I had the Photon Q with the SIM mod and CM 9 working for 2 mouth. But yesterday, I were using the cellphone when it reboot itself and get freeze on the unlocked bootloader warning. I try to power it of but y could not, the I let it there until batery drain (about 4 hours)
Now when I boot the cellphone it has an strange behavior. Some times it freeze on the unlocked bootloader warning, other time make a loop boot (show the warning and restart). Also some times it display strange colors on the screen when try to boot and many times it display a randomly sorted grey vertical lines and very few times (one of every 50 times) it boot the ROM but when i touch the screen it goes black.
i can not conect to phone by adb and can not enter recovery, but i can access to the fastboot (in fact the fast boot is working but do not display anything on the screen, i suppouse that the same happend with the recovery. but i can not use it if the screen is black)
I used the fastboot and RSD to flash the stock firmware, the phone return fail on every 4.0.4 ROM but it work with the 4.1.2. After the flash some times thes phone display the morotola and sprint logo and then start the handfree configuration, but when I touch the screen it goes to black again.
I do not know if it is bricked, I think that if i have access to the fastboot i can resurrect the phone. but is very strange the random behavior.
Do you have any idea what should I do?
Thanks.
PS: sorry for my bad english
Re-Strange behaviour
Hi there, one of my Q's (also sim modded) was doing a similar bootloop warning etc. I was screwing around with it a bit. It's all good now though.
The way to force power down/reboot is to hold "volume -" and the power button for 10-15 seconds. If you drain the battery, you will be stuck with more boot-loops due to a flat battery. If you plug the charger in & the LED is green, this means it is charging a dead battery, & will need to charge for a while.
By the way, I had issues on my other Q handset running CM, failing to read the mSD card, and causing freezes, boot loops etc, so I went back to stock. Pretty sure most of the trouble is due to the mSD card read/mount error.
Edit:
Come to think about it - my Q failed after I tried to restore my CM10.1 backup from the previous phone. I suggest this may be contributing to the issue, as you are also running CM.
With the black screen/boot loop, force reboot by holding "vol -" & power button for 15 seconds, release power, then immediately hold "vol +" so it forces boot to recovery (TWRP if you have it).
I restored a previous backup eventually, but TWRP was not working too well after the screwy boot-looping etc. I ran a factory reset from the phone menu once it was running again, then rebooted into TWRP.
Super User wouldn't install from TWRP after, so I pushed it across & installed from TWRP, now I'm about to update TWRP to 2.6.
Still want to have a go at another ROM on this handset, so I can compare it to my stock one. I'm pretty sure CM10.1 was part of the problem on the other Q with my mSD card failing, as it has been fine ever since on stock.
Try this:
Try using adb to fastboot into recovery, then push TWRP (again) onto your Q using this method by arrrghhh http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1887070
Push Super User across onto your mSD & install that from TWRP as instructed also.
Restore a stock/custom backup from an earlier time if you have one, or flash a fresh download.
Let me know how you go.
P.S. make sure you have "USB Debugging" enabled in developer options in order to ADB fastboot recovery.

I tried it, but do not work.
I flash the stock ROM from fastboot and also flash several recoverys, but never boot any ROM and I think that i access to the recoverys but the screen is black then is very dificult to use it. Is strange beacouse some times screen displays perfect the unlocked bootloader warning, but never display anything on the fastboot or the recovery.
Witch part of the software have the video drivers that are used on the recovery and fastboot? I think that maybe is corrupted. how can i flash it again?
Thanks.
I had installed xposed with some popular modules like Android L theme, Greenify, Gravity Box and ifont.
Today I wanted to unroot my phone (due to some reasons) so I just unchecked all modules from XPOSED modules list and restarted the mobile. After restarting I wanted to reset my phone so I went to reset my phone and then the **** happened.
Now it goes to reset screen (for 2 seconds) then in logo screen (for 3 seconds), then again in reset screen (for 2 seconds) and again logo (for 3 seconds) and again reset screen..... it is in boot loop!!! but this boot loop is extra ordinary :v
So after waiting for some time I realized that I have done something wrong so I decided to remove the battery and then turn on the phone but still same problem.
I have backup of my phone so when I wanted to go to recovery mode I couldn't.
Whenever I press volume up/down (both) keys with power button it again goes to that reset screen loop (instead of opening recovery mode). So please tell me a way to fix this problem.
Any help will be appreciated!
My mobile is "Qmobile Noir i9".
*Its specs are: "click here to see the specs"
**I was using stock rom.
***I have cwm backup in my computer.

I Think This Will Solve your Problem
Flash this Rom Via Flash Tool
Rom Link : click Here
How To Use Flash Tool : Click Here
Cheers
ok I fixed the problem.
I turned off the device for two hours (the battery was removed too). After two hours I removed sd card and sim card and then turned on the device. The device turned on successfully!!!
The only problem I am facing now is xposed modules are still installed. The phone is reset successfully but modules are not uninstalled. My phone still have new font (which i changed with xposed), new boot animation!
I will now install the modules again and then uninstall them. I hope it'll work!
And the scatter file link is not working in the blog (the link you gave above)....
Qmobilei9 bricked
My qmobile i9 stucked at start screnn i tried to flash the same rom already installed ...but it stucked in the meddle and flashtool shows error Memory not found any help??/ the phone is totally dead now it does not respond to any key ....but it connects to my pc and the after a few seconds disconnects and so on ...:crying
Good morning, I bought yesterday this phone, version D6603.
When I started it android version was 4.4.4, so I tried the Sony update to see if any update was available, and it suddenly started the download; so I stopped it and turned off the phone (I just wanted to install a recent stock rom with flashtool with a data wipe, because the phone is a secondhand one). After a while I turned it on again, just to check the camera, and when I started it the screen went black and the phone has locked and turned off by itself! I cannot manage to boot it again, neither in normal nor in recovery mode (I tried volume down + power, volume up + power, both + power). I had to reset it several times with the physical button because every time it get stucked on boot!
So next step was to try to install a stock rom with flashtool (D6603_23.4.A.0.546_IT), using wipe apps_log and userdata; it worked with no errors but the phone was still stucked on boot (just after the welcome music).
I also tried to use PC Companion's "repair your phone" under Support Zone, but it didn't work as well.
At this point I don't know what else I can do, I tried everything I know! I always had Sony and it's the first time I got a stucked phone with no root and nothing else modified.. Any suggest??
Thank you very much
