Well this is how to enter recovery to do a factory restore ext.

But you will lose all data that is on the internal storage.
Here is the 4.0.4 fastboot file and RSDlite 6.0 if you want to use the fastboot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1967529
If you do you need to update the drivers for the phone on the computer you are using. Plug the phone into a computer with the updated drives on it. Then open up the fastboot menu on the phone and it should say something about usb connection and bat ok. Then run RSD and load the 4.0.4 zip file to it and wait for the program to run its course then profit. I know there is a guide on this process but I cant find it at the moment

Wait so the triangle pops up and says "android not loading?" or dose it only display the android triangle after you press both volume buttons at the same time on that menu?

Rsd lite can't detect my phone

Currently, my phone is on central europe rom with jit, apps2sd and open recovery 1.46 installed. I had previously used rsdlite 4.5.3 to flash my phone but now it won't detect my phone after i installed jit, apps2sd and open recovery 1.46. Anyone can help? Thanks.
put your device into bootloader mode by pressing vol down + camera key + on button
before that you must install motorola usb driver first
i managed to get it to work..problem was caused by my pc and not the phone..zzz..anyway thanks for the help!
make sure you are in bootloader mode but not in recovery mode
recovery mode: a "!" sign will appear
bootloader: dark backgroud and just some numbers and letters
when you connect your phone to computer, not your phone name but the name of the cpu (OMAP3440)will be identified
Same problem
I am having the same problem as you do. I had a stock Milestone. I fully rooted it through SuperOneClick. I wanted to install CyanogenMod so I had to flash it with the recovery SBF.
I have installed the latest motorola drivers and RSD. I boot it using Up on D-Pad and power, plugs it to computer. The flash drivers shows a successful installation.
I open up RSDLite with administrator rights. Still, it doesn't recognize my phone. I tried it on every way I could imagine. Open RSD first, after; plug first, after.
My battery is fully loaded.
My device is a rooted Milestone running on Android 2.2.1.
Kernel 2.6.32.9
It has superuser installed and has been flashed with ClockworkMod 3.1.0.2 using ROM manager. That was because I wanted to backup my stock ROM aswell. It doesn't work either. After booting it shows the yellow exclamation mark and freezes.
What else could it be? :/
Thanks in advance
Solved.
I figured it out. I wiped out all my data from the phone (back to factory settings option) and it is now flashing fine through RSD Lite.
Pretty simple.
Hey guys. I a having same problems as described above. Namely, I succesfully installed moto , instaled RSD, and have the sbf. The problem is that though my phone is running bootloader, and displays that there is a USB connection, the cpu doesnt show that a phone is connected. Therefore, RSD is blank and doesnt show device (so i cant START the sbf flash. Any suggestions? One note, when I go into Recovery to wipe my data there is the following two lines of text on the bottom of the screen :
"E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
E: an't open /cahe/recovery/caller"
Those errors in recovery are harmless. Recovery is basically saying that it cannot find a downloaded OTA package to automatically apply.
Unfortunately I don't flash in windows, but based on threads in the past, these seem to be driver or permissions problems (maybe you need to be admin when running RSD, dunno). FWIW I use sbf_flash on Linux

[SOLVED] Bricked my Transformer....

Hi all,
I had my Transformer up and running on CM10 when I decided to give Asus JB a try this morning. As a preparation I tried to switch from TWRP to CWM. So I followed the instructions here using dd in a terminal on my tablet. After this I tried rebooting into recovery (Power + VolDown).
But I didn't work, it took me directly to a message saying "OS will cold boot in 10 Seconds if the selected mode is not confirmed". I had the choice between wiping and fastboot.
So I went into fastboot and tried to reinstall TWRP using fastboot. This worked withoud errors but after a reboot to recovery I got the same problem. When I choosed wipe date the splash screen from TWRP came up for a few seconds and then it disappeared and I shows me some lines telling me that it wiped my data - and then the device reboots.
A normal reboot led me to a screeen showing the ASUS Logo and the "The device is UnLocked" in the upper left corner. And nothing more happens...
So tried to reinstall CWM using fastpath which also worked without problems. After reboot still no direct access to CWM, had to go through wipe-data again and then it jumped into CWM. I installed several different Images with CWM but none of them solved that problem. The device still istn't able to boot into OS or direct into CWM.
I also tried to flash the blob file from stock firmware using fastboot, but after the transfer ended and it startet to flash it stopped with an red line saying an error occured.
Now I'm running out of ideas how to solve this problem. Any ideas?

Connect your tab to your PC
Open a command windows on your PC
Goto your fastboot directory
type fastboot devices

ok,let me put it this way,did you ever upgraded to 9.4.5.30 firmware?
No, not before my tablet got bricked. I tried to recover with a stock Rom afterwards and accidentally downloaded and flashed .30 instead of .26
Maybe this makes things worse but the problem is not caused by that.
Btw: thank your for your support

No, I stupid idiot did not make a backup with nvflash.
I really appreciate your support but unfortunately I'm not at home anymore so I can't chat for the next hours.

Have you try this :
Code:
*** Factory Restore after a softbrick/Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore ***
When You Need This?
* if you get stuck on Asus boot screen (the one with the spinning wheel)
* If you don't like JB and you want ICS back
* if you want to get back to a clean stock firmware
Note: You need to have a working recovery (stock or custom) in order to use this method.
========= Recover /Downgrade from Jelly Bean to ICS/Clean Factory Restore with stock recovery =========
1) Download the latest firmware from Asus site (based os your SKU,eg. ww 9.4.5.26 * to downgrade from Jelly Bean you need the 9.4.5.30 firmware)
2) Extract the .zip file somewere on your desktop (the result will be another .zip file,use it for step 3)
3) Rename the extracted archive to "EP201_768_SDUPDATE" (without the " ") and upload it to a MicroSD card
4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use this button combination to Power ON and go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER togheter for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire.
At this point the device will go in recovery and should start updating your firmware .

Yes. I tried this but it does not work. When I start with pressing Power and VolumeDown the system only lets me choose between wipe data and fastboot mode. It does not recognize any system update files
Problem solved...
Hi,
just to let you know I solved my problem. After trying a lot of different possible solutions described in a lot of threads nothing worked for me. Finally I flashed JellyBean through CWM from external SD Card. This did not change anything but after booting into fastboot mode I installed the kernel blob extracted from a zip file found here by using
Code:
fastboot -i 0x0b05 flash boot blob
And that's it.... after 10 hours of try and error I finally got my device up and running again....

[Q] HELP! ZTE RACER bricked after rooting!

Hi! Sorry about this rude way but I am in an emergency situation.
I have a ZTE RACER with Android 2.2.2 (official ZTE Frimware) which it keeps rebooting at the splash screen.
Before that, I did a root using SuperOneClick 2.3.3 by Shortfuse. After following the instructions (USB debug, plug-in, root) I've rebooted the phone normally (NOT with adb), and when it got after the ZTE Logo (the first one, not the splash screen and not the Android logo). The animation goes a little and freezes for a few seconds, then restarts automaticly (but not entirely, just repeats the splash screen) and reboot. Rance and repeat! I tried to unroot, but the app hangs, restarting with adb and nothing happens. adb restart command doesn't help that much. What should I do to fix it?
Additional info:
Phone recives adb commands normally.
Possibly Superuser app was leftover before unrooting and rooting again (yes I already did root, but superuser stoped working properly afer app and su files update)
Can't go to FTM Mode, ROM Manager gave me a broken CWM.
Unsure If I can install CWM manually since SD doesn't seem to get mounted.
Phone Info:
ZTE-RACER
Android 2.2.2 (FROYO_P2XXGV_V1.0.0_B2)
CWM 5.0.x (Installed with ROM Manager. Broken.)
Carrier: GR COSMOTE (that's unknown carrier for you.)
Thanks for any help.
P.S.: Does anyone here is greek and has a ZTE RACER with the official 2.2 upgrade? I need the FTM Mode.
From what you have said, it seems like you are in a soft brick not a hard one. This means that there is chance of recovery but you have to be very careful.
You weren't rude so don't worry bout that.
You may want to try a hard reset.
Now that we have identified the problem, you have the ability to try and find it yourself at least.
It is possible to manually flash the generic default 2.2 and this will restore your device.
or
turn off your phone and then press power button and volume up button.Programing will open and there is a option of reset and restore.By using volume button go to reset and restore option and then press power button and home key programing will start and your phone will reset.
Hit thanks if you found this useful.

For the first one, I don't know how since the only way I had was to reflash it with the 1-Click Update (I did that on my ZTE MF636 3G Modem).
About the second, you mean that I must use the adb command, or I just hold it down without connecting it (I am newbie to the Android), but thanks for the help. I'll keep you posted for the results.
(NOTE: 1-click update is the offline frimware updater made by ZTE.)
if the logo appears look for a solution, if nothing happens buy a new one because is a full brick

Logo appears but... I still don't get it.
Was that for CWM? Or for the phone?
CWM is broken by the ROM Manager. After installing, I tried to get in, but it got frozen to the Android logo + the red led is on. (Temporal brick).
Should I flash a working CWM to the phone?
Anyone?
If there is a working CWM recovery .img file for your device, flash that using fastboot.

a) I am not sure if it works but for sure it doesn't come from ROM Manager.
b)Where do I find fastboot and what's the command?
Anyone, please?
I think you get it when you install the SDK, along with ADB. You put your phone into fastboot mode, plug the USB into your computer, and use fastboot flash_image to flash the .img file to your device's recovery partition.
If you can boot your device into fastboot mode, search for "Android Flash Recovery" by Bill.Weckel (Windows only). That'll be the easiest way.

This command doesn't work. Is it fastboot flash recovery [image_file]?
Will somebody please help me out!
Here is the thread for Android Flash Recovery:

Doesn't work! It does detect it, but it can't flash it (on normal boot only. On recovery/bootloader it just getting bricked). Any other options? Or I have to send it for reflashing?

[Q] Failed to go into Recovery

I just upgraded my XT925 from 4.1.2 (JBBL) to 4.4.2 (KKBL) via OTA. Bootloader was already unlocked. I then flashed in philz-touch 6.58.7 recovery. Flashing completed without error. However, when I booted the phone into recovery mode via pressing buttons or adb command, I always got "No command" and a dead green android with exclamation mark.
How can I get back into recovery (stock or phil-touch) ? Do I need to root the phone first before flashing recovery ?
Thanks.

Found the answer from another thread. All I had do was that:
1) unplug USB cable right after recovery was flashed
2) tap the power button
3) immediately hold down power and up-vol buttons to boot
4) select recovery (down-vol) and the up-vol to boot into phil-touch recovery.
