Try this first:
Plug the phone in for charging. Hold volume up and camera while powering on to get to the bootloader. After you get to be bootloader press and release the power button to shut the phone off. It should stay powered off while it continues charging. But watch it to make sure it doesn't try to autoboot after a while.
If not/alternatively:
Take off the back cover of the phone. Start charging and keep an eye on the screen. It will charge without booting for something like 10-15min. When it starts to boot, yank out the battery and then put it back. Repeat for 1-2 hours.
Or you can maybe try combining these: and use rubber bands to hold the volume up and camera buttons down so that when it auto-powers-on it will go to the bootloader and you can just press the power button if that happens.
I used to suffer this problem a lot. I ended up getting an external battery charger (you can find them for pretty cheap). Strongly recommended.

it did help in charging the battery but the system won't started, it keeps on restarted after the starhub logo (singapore set)..
OK, so first try to get to open recovery (press and hold volume-up while booting from power off state). From openrecovery make a nandroid backup, factory reset, and try a reboot.
If you can't get into open recovery you can try stock recovery (I can't remember the process off the top of my head)
Do you have ext partition on your SD card?
The last resort is to flash back to stock using a sbf using RSS lite/sbf_flash.

it didn't work..i've read some articles about it this problem..all i need is update.zip that compatible with xt720 can anyone please help???
I don't think there are any update.zip that work -- the milestone xt720 recovery never had that vulnerability (unless you've flashed the xt720mod.sbf). And as far as I know all updates for XT720 have gone via Motorola's usb software updater program (not ota update.zip) so I don't think there are any correctly signed full system updates sitting around anywhere.
I think you're going to have to flash a stock sbf using RSD lite (windows) or sbf_flash (Linux, macos)
the device can't be detected by computer in it's current state so i can't flash it
Make sure you download moto usb drivers.
Hold down power button, volume button, camera button at the same time bootloader will come up.
Startup rsd lite plug into usb your phone should be recognize.
If not reconnect if this doest work reinstall rsd lite.

i can only get to bootloader and the android recovery 2e that's it or else it will restart until all the power have drain
If your computer doesn't recognize your phone try a different computer.
Also try plugin and uplugin and plugging again.
Also try hardreset and remove sdcard.

has this problem already came up if so I missed it a link would be nice to fix my phone Thanks
I could be misunderstanding your problem here but I think i had a similar issue... first of all make sure you're holding down the power button long enough to boot up. Seems to take 4 or 5 seconds with this phone.
Also when I had the issue i took out the bat, put it back, plugged into a wall charger and then held the power button that worked. But I think really my issue was impatience not holding the power button the first time long enough.
no i am the screen wont say updating or whatever when i hold the up and down button but it looks for a driver ?? and installs the Right driver
helpppppppppp your way to the search button.
Thread moved to proper forum.
You only hold volume down and power. I had the same issue. Holding both volumes will cause the phone to not boot.

So you flashed the recovery before you rooted. Try reflashing the original recovery. I don't know if that will work. You should have rooted then flashed recovery.

thats what im doing now but gewt stuck at waiting for bootloader to int for some reason
Well your g2x will never go out of the updating screen you have to wait until one click says it has transfered the file. Wait a minute or so after that and unplug the USB and put your battery back in the I would do a master rest.

thing is my lg screen is black can i still root with a black screen ? like i said only action i get out of the g2x is if i hold the vol up And Down and plug it in then i hear the sound of the computer finding it witch gives me hope
I would try recovering recovery befor trying to root again. I would do the nvflash but pick the original recovery instead of cm. Then after that master reset by original recovery which is hold power and down volume. Recovery will rest your rom. Rooting puts you root permissions I believe into a different partition any ways that's how a master reset does not wipe them. Your problem sounds like more of a recovery issue then root.

It is problem is it stays at Waiting for Bootloader int how long should that be there?
are you holding the volume buttons down and plunging in the usb before you select the version? you have to continue holding them the whole time. should pick it up in matter of seconds.
Hi,
My Inspire is now stuck in a cm7 bootloop after I messed up flasing cm7 to it, and I can't boot into recovery now. I take out the battery and restart it with power + vol- down, but it just loads back into the bootloop and there is no way for me to access any recoveries or the main screen. Is there any way I can completely reset my phone from my computer? It seems like that is my last resort now, so if that is possible I would be completely willing to start over from the beginning with rooting and flashing. Any help is appreciated.
Also, my volume rocker has not been working for the past few hours, and I have no idea if it was broken originally (I doubt that) or if it was broken after a bad root or something. This is the main reason I need to reset it from my computer.
Also, my phone is not being recognized by my computer when I plug it in. The more I think about it the more I realize that I'm probably screwed, so any advice to the contrary would make me love you forever.
try with the power cord attached, holding the volume up,power on until the red led starts flashing, then remove the battery put the battery back in, press the power button. for me this got it into recovery. good luck
Thanks for the help, but it didn't work. At this point I'm just looking for a way to reset it from my computer and start completely over. I don't care about any data or apps I had on there, and I don't even care about the root I had. If anyone knows ANY way to reset my phone back to factory settings (or if AT&T does this) please tell me.
If you vant get your computer to recognize your phone then you cant restore.
Some att stores can do it, but remember you have voided your warranty.
What recovery version are you using? If its an older version then you can plug the phone in while it is off, and it will boot into recovery.
How long have pulled the battery for?

Recovery is volume DOWN plus power for 5 seconds, bootloader its volume up plus power...
Try putting CM7 or any other ROM on your SD card via your computer, using a card reader. Then boot into recovery (volume down plus power), wipe data/cache/Davlik, then install from zip. That should get you up and running.

Please help. I was using odin3 v1.85 and trying to flash the stock EP4 from the imnuts page. during the flash odin said it failed. My phone now fails to be recognized by my PC. I am not able to boot into CWM nor am I able to boot in to download mode. Any which way I try to get the phone booted up I get the screen that looks like:
cellphone...exclamation point in a triangle... computer
With the battery out of the cell, if I plug the phone into my computer, it is not recognized by the computer and no power flows to the phone
When I put the battery back in and either try to boot to CWM or download mode, I get the:
cell... exclamation point in triangle...computer.
Am I now bricked for good? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Are you holding the volume down button when plugging it in? Battery out, hold volume down, plug in phone... If still not recognized, try downloading an older version of odin... Then repeat... Ive had my phone at that same screen and came out ok so dont freak... Lol.

Good thought. I booted up Odin3 version 1.3 and no luck. The phone will not go in to download mode but Odin1.3 will recognize the phone as plugged in, which is a step in the right direction compared to Odin3 1.85 which would not. Oh, I am beginning to "freak out" from this stress!!
Any recommendations or suggestions? Thanks ahead of time.
...
I use odin v1.82... Try that. If I rememebr right it took me several tries before I got odin to recognize my phone. So your starting with the phone off and battery out... Your holding down volume down key as you plug the phone in? and when you do that it odin recognizes your device but your device just shows that its charging? Try flashing it anyways with the .pit file and stock ep4d... If that doesnt work try flashing CWM first.. Then flash the restore package.. Sounds to me like your phone has been absolutely wiped so you have no recovery image. I think thats finally what got me up and running again.. This is a fixable situation, dont give your hopes up!!!!

When you say on, off, on, off. Do you mean the lights flash then it goes off or does it try to boot?
Can you get into download mode?
Have you tried a different battery or left the battery out for an hour or so, then tried again?

First you need to download Heimdall or Odin from the ISET page to you PC. I believe Odin uses the Kies drivers and Heimdall replaces the with a Samsung composite driver. I personally use the Heimdall back to stock that is rooted.
Once you have them and decide which one you will use, you will need to get into download mode. Take the battery out, connect USB to phone and preferably a rear USB port on your PC. Hold volume up and down, No Power button though, and then insert the battery. This should put you in download mode and you need to push volume up to get to it. Volume down cancels it and will reboot. You may want to just try that one time to see if it corrects the problem. If not, repeat steps to get to download and flash either Odin to Heimdall and then start flashing again.
Read the instructions on the OP of Odin or Heimdall and ask questions if you aren't sure of what to do.

I just rooted my One S using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2008440. I flashed Clockworkmod touch recovery and installed the latest CM10 Nightly. I ended up installing the standard Clockworkmod recovery (non touch) through ROM manager once my phone was up and running. Everything on my phone was working great until I let my battery run all the way down to the point my phone shut off. I plugged my phone in and it automatically booted to recovery. I waited a little bit for the phone to charge and selected "reboot system now" from recovery. My phone did not boot and only goes to recovery. When it reboots, it briefly flashes a green stripe twice in the upper third of the screen prior to booting all the way but never shows the HTC screen or anything other than recovery. I tried reflashing the ROM in recovery, formatting every partition in recovery, entering fasboot using ADB, rebooting using ADB, and nothing seems to get my phone to do anything other than boot to recovery. I tried running the latest RUU and it fails (presumably because it can't enter fasboot). I tried pressing and holding volume+, -, and the power button at the same time, I tried holding just the volume down button while holding the power button, but no luck so far.
Is there a way to reflash the recovery from ADB while the phone is in recovery? Is there any other way I can force my phone into fastboot? Can I safely use the method in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1990043 to "unbrick" my phone by entering commands via ADB shell while in recovery rather than in terminal emulator? Thanks in advance for all the collective XDA wisdom that I'm sure will help get my phone back up and running.

Amazing! That did the trick. Thanks a ton for that info. I knew it would be something simple.
I also had a similar problem. Seemed to occur only when I had the USB cable plugged into the phone. Once I removed it, I could then get into fastboot. Once I was in fastboot, I simply plugged the USB cable back in, and everything worked flawlessly.
All that crap you got wouldn't have happened if you use TWRP instead of CWM.
