I was trying out a new setup on my phone when it got stuck on the Motorola M. I found that you can boot into System Recovery with out going through the app and doing a recovery boot. This is not the factory manual reboot procedure.
***Boot into System Recovery**
Steps
1. If stuck in M logo screen or Dexter's screen, pull battery
2. Insert battery and hit power button
3. As soon as you hit power button hold the Volume up button down until the unboxing logo comes up.
**Updated with info provided by 3rdstring**
And now you can use nandroid to go back to a earlier version of dexter's or what ever you have on your card.
I would also recommend to wipe the dalvik cache, and cache partition. You do not need to do a factory reset.
Hope this helps others out, no need to reflash to stock version when your phone bricks.
**Factory Reboot steps***
To Manually Reset
If there are significant problems with your device or you are not able to follow the steps above please use the following process to manually reset the phone:
Turn off phone
Press Power key + Camera Key + GalleryKey to power on the phone and bring up the recovery screen
When the Triangle/Exclamation point screen appears, press Volume Up + Gallery Key down and tap the camera key to show the recovery menu.
When the recovery window appears, use the volume up/down keys to navigate the menu and the camera key to enter your selection.
Select Wipe data/factory reset
Select Reboot Phone
You should only need to hold in the volume up button while powering on the phone to boot into OpenRecovery once it's installed either via Dexter's System Recovery app or through the directions on ModMyMobile.

I do believe that is what I said. Tested it myself. Hold the power button to turn on like normal, then just hold the volume up button down.
Hi
I have a Samsung Nexus S for past 5 months. I recently upgraded to the ICS. Last week, I was listening songs on my phone and all of a sudden out of nowhere the phone re-started.
After couple of minutes, saw a message on screen saying “encryption unsuccessful, you have lost all your data. This phone will now need to rebooted”.
Underneath this message, there was only 1 option of REBOOT NOW. I had to press the button since I had no other option.
After this the phone restarted but never went past the start up animation screen. After couple of days, I gave it another shot and after going past the welcome screen, it gave me the option to register the phone again. But as soon as that screen comes up, I get all these small messages saying, email has stopped, music has stopped, android process has stopped, calendar has stopped................ at this point the phone virtually hangs itself and I can’t do anything.
Can someone please advise what is wrong with my phone and how can I fix it?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Try this, power the phone off, now press and hold the volume up & power botton at the same time, a menu should appear, now use the volume up/down buttons till "RECOVERY" is highlighted green, now press the power button, the phone will now reboot and in to recovery and show an android on the screen, at this point you need to press and hold the power button then press volume up briefly, a menu should appear, use the volume up/down buttons to highlight "wipe data/factory reset" and press the power button, now use the volume up/down buttons to highlight "Yes -- delete all user data" once this is done select "reboot system now", this process will wipe the phone and put it back to factory settings, it won't delete usb storage though so you may need erase usb storage once you're up and running again.

I would wipe cache while you're in there too.

I think that you have to push clockworkmod recovery image like when you root your device.

yeah, try using clockwork recovery.
that's much more usfeul than the stock one
i tried doing clockwork recovery, I cant unlock the bootloader, i did all the steps ie installed android drivers, went to command prompt, typed the command, I can see the option of unlocking bootloader on android but when I select yes, it still says locked. I guess I will have to give up on this phone.

Home button doesnt work because you need to Trim your rom before you flash it so files don't get overwritten when flashing gapps with it.
If you can't access recovery then go into developer settings and tick advanced boot menu
then click & hold your power button and click reboot
then it will give you options
recovery
bootloader
reboot
just tick recovery and it'll automatically go into cwm
Hello I have a new problem now and I need help,
My first problem was trying to reformat one of my SD Cards because it was corrupt so I Rooted my device but now whenever I start my device it goes to the screen where I can to slide to unlock but the Touch Pad is just not working.
I tried holding both volume buttons to try and go in recovery mode but how does it work ?
My Tablet is an unknown model no brand running 4.0.4.
I think I need to do a factory reset but I don't know how.
Any help is appreciated.
1. Shutdwon your device.
2. Hold volume up + volume down + power button until your device boots into recovery menu.
3. choose wipe data/factory reset.
Hope it works :good:

I have been trying that but it wont work, do I have to hold it for like 30 seconds or 5 minutes ?
And btw if I do get into recovery mode how do I click enter (I was there before but I couldn't select things since I only have Power button and volume buttons)
You navigate with volume up and volume down and select with the power button once you are in recovery mode.
Try holding volume up and volume down at the same time and press the power button to get into recovery mode. Or try just holding volume up and then press the power button.

I tried every possibility, I don't think I can go into recovery mode. Is there a way to fix it if I connect to my computer or something ? I can turn on the Tablet and plug it into my PC but I just need a way to do a factory reset or reformat or w/e to remove everything.
You can access recovery with adb http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1853159. Just follow the instruction!

Go to Settings>Wifi>Advance (top right)>Wifi Frequency band and select 2.4 HGz only.
1. Hold power button and shut down phone.
2. Once the phone is shut down, hold the volume down button then press power button for approx. 3 seconds and let go.
3. You will see a white screen, using the volume buttons for up/down and power to select: scroll to Recovery and press power. The screen should be black.
4. Now press the volume up then power button for approx. 3 seconds and you should see a black screen with blue lettering and a red triangle in the center.
5. Scroll down using the volume down and select Wipe Cache Partition. At the bottom will say Cache wipe complete in yellow.
6. Press power button selecting Reboot System Now. Phone will reboot and should be working. Try to connect to wifi.
this may delete your app data so backup everything first
by app backup and restore
