Help - Can't get to fastboot mode - General Questions and Answers

Hi all! and a happy new year btw.
Quick question regarding one of the newer phones in the Philippine market the O+ (Oplus) android series.
I have an 8.9 phone with ICS and have successfully rooted it via root with restory by bin4ry_V15 and have CWM flashed through SPFT. Now the problem is I can't ever go to fastboot mode as I;'m wanting to unlock my bootloader to flash custom roms. (i've been dying to flash jelly bean unto it as there's a very slim chance we'd ever get it OTA update through our local carriers) My phone specs are as follows :
Hardware : MT6577
Model : O+_8.9_Android
Build number : O+_8.9_Android_086A0_V8_0_3
Build date UTC : 20121109-110419
Android v : 4.0.4
Baseband v: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V1.F1.P1, 2012/09/10 10:32
Kernel v : 3.0.13 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.4.3 (GCC) ) #1 SMP Fri Nov 9 19:03:06 CST 2012
Uboot build v : MAIN2.2.ubt.3417
It has a dual core cortex a9 procie and 512mb ram, 8gb external storage and 4 gig interal. It claims to be upgradable to jelly bean. I've tried out various methods from different phones wanting to know if it would work but so far, all I get is (vol up + power button) i enter recovery and (vol down + power) I get to factory mode which gives me nothing but a bunch of tests calibration etc. I'm hoping someone could shed light on this.
BTW : I've also tried doing it through adb shell and issuing commands and so far, I get my phone to power cycle and no fastboot menu. I also tried doing it through quick reboot (app) boot to bootloader and same thing it power cycles my phone. Really looking forward to getting jelly bean on this baby. Thank in advance!

If there are any alternatives like flashing and image that has n unlocked bootloader or using android kitchen I would gladly do it. Any one knows of any alternatives?

That's not exactly very descriptive. It has to have some more identification than that.
Imagine saying this to us, "I have a random car, can't tell you much about it, but can I easily install a Chevy Corvette engine in it?"
For all we know, the "car" in my metaphor is an AMC Gremlin, lol.

[Completed] AstroTab A724 - Lost root

I bought 4 AstroTab a724, they shipped pre-rooted (currently I'm hoping the seller can help me get connected with the right individual)
ONE of these tablets has lost its root (by tinkering of yours truly), I've tried everything to root it again and continuously fail. I've tried many of the click-one options and also attached to PC via USB.
There are no volume rocker buttons, and only a power button. This makes getting into fastboot very difficult, nearly impossible even though I've tried to reboot to bootloader using ADB...it just returns me to the regular AstroTab logo .
Here are the specs:
Model Number: A724
Android Version: 5.0.2
Kernel Version:
3.10.37
[email protected] #2
Thu May 7 12:31:57 CST 2015
Build number:
AstroTab-userdebug 5.0.2 LRX22G mli04281822 release-keys
I could really use your help Gurus....please.
Thank you!

XT1080MDEV is stuck in bootloop with only bootloader mode accessible

Hello all forum members. this is being also discussed in the Droid Maxx Develkoper Edition thread but I also decided to bring it to a larger audience. Now let me lay out the whole story together for you.
So it was XT1080MDEV phone running 4.2.2
- System Version 12.7.7.obake-maxx_verizon.Verizon.en.US
- Baseband MSM8960PRO_BP_2323.011.75.00R
- Build Number 12.9.0Q2.X-160-OBK_TA-14-7
It was bootloader unlocked but with a stock reovery and unrooted. I operated fastboot so I took to flash custom recovery twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img while in fastboot mode.
It worked out great: it flashed and also offered to install SuperSU after 1st start so I rooted and was playing with phone for a while. The phone was on Wifi without SIM and I never customized system - rather installed few apps and played Asphalt. I turned it off and on few times and even did a full backup with TWRP.
Then I left my phone on and unattended for 15 mins maybe and when I was back I discovered that it shows standard boot message "Warning Unlocked Recovery....etc" but after hanging a bit it does not show droid splashscreen and boot but turns black a shows "Warning Unlocked Recovery....etc" message again.
So primarily I got this bootloop with no possibility to even power off the phone. By holding Power and Volume Down buttons for 10 seconds and releasing them I am able to get into fastboot mode. I tried "Normal Powerup", "Factory", "Recovery" and "BP Tools" - all result in the same bootloop. "Barcodes" shows IMEI etc.
Since bootloader mode was the only option available for me I was trying out flashing different recoveries. Here's the list of what I tried with no luck:
- openrecovery-twrp-2.8.4.0-obake.img
- philz_touch_6.19.3-xt1060.img
- twrp-2.6.3.1-ghost-4.4.img
- stock recovery (stock one taken from VZW-4.2.2-SU1-15-3-release-keys.xml.zip FW)
After all those runabouts with recoveries I caught myself thinking that it all looks like it's not a recovery which is "broken" - but rather a boot.
So I tried flashing boot.img (from VZW-4.2.2-SU1-15-3-release-keys.xml.zip FW) - no results. It is the same bootloop.
This is where I decided to flash the whole stock firmware VZW-4.2.2-SU1-15-3-release-keys.xml.zip with RSDLite 6.1.5. It flashed firmware without any errors as I removed <step var="max-download-size" operation="getvar"> from the xml file as indicated in how-to- guide, but the phone is stuck in the same bootloop.
Now behavior has changed a bit and it seems I can power it off. However I left it in bootloader mode and hooked to USB on a working PC since this is the way it's charing.
- When selecting either "Normal Powerup" or "Factory" it displays static "Warning Unlocked Recovery....etc" message.
- When selecting either "Recovery" or "BP Tools" it result in the same bootloop: "Warning Unlocked Recovery....etc" message appears and disappears in loop. "Barcodes" still hows IMEI etc.
I can see now that bootloader version has changed from 30.70 (sha-88483d6, 2013-07-02 15:32:03) to 30.B0 (sha-e8687f9, 2013-08-20 21:05:17) but phone still won't boot.
I tried flashing stock 4.2.2 two times with RSD - just to make sure everything is done fine and any occasional factor is excluded but results are the same.
Please help!
P.S. I attach a screenshot of the bootloader - this is the only operable mode I am able to access.
And yes, you might want to see what getvar all gives back. There it is

Ok guys, I presume everyone is on their place and you managed to grab yourself plenty of popcorn and soda. Just make yourself more comfortable and the continuation of this story follows just right away!
You might not like it. So the disclaimer is: "If you have an immense trust in the only omniscent and omnipotent MOTOROLA god - please don't read this further on. You will find it most offensive, humiliating and uncomfortable is such a case. Ugh, I warned you!"
First I tried to reach out to Motorola support online. I have to admit I have not spent countless hours explaining the case. I tried to be as much specific as I could and it seems this worked. But huh... Support Representative told that they are not trained to provide such as support as in my case. Sounds familiar, right? In other words: "It is so nice that you spent extra money bying our DE device. It's obviously above any appraisal that you try to contribute and take you time to try resolving the issue. Really sorry, but rest assured that Motorola just does not give a f%$k about it."
I don't have anything personal against representative who tried to help and I do appreciate his willingness to assisst me but the general corporate attitude towards the customer - I simply have no words for it. I kindly asked a support person for a small favour of pointing any Motorola technical guys devs/supports to this forum thread where I raised this question.... No one replied.
Ok now let's get back to the matter - so I experimented a bit with my UNLOCKED BL XT1080MDEV this week flashing different stock FWs just to get out of this bootloop. I flashed the following FWs with RSDLite:
(CFC) VZW-4.4.0-SU2-3.3-release-keys.xml
(CFC) VZW-4.4.0-SU2-3-15-release-keys.xml
(1FF) VZW-4.4.4-SU4.21-release-keys.xml
(CFC) VZW-4.4.4-SU5-24-release-keys.xml
All flash processes were as smooth as Moto Ads and promises but never ended with a booting Android - all the same bootloop on "Warning Unlokced Bootloader..." message when I just realized that BL version upgardes every time I flash newer FW like that: 30B2 -> 30B2 -> 30B6 -> 30B9
while FW version part ) always remain the same:

That makes me think that flash memory has weirdly gone into RO mode for some reason. So I ended up having a DE device sftbricked at this point and needless to say I am not able to downgrade as well. One word for it - MOTOROLA
As a summary I was lucky owner of functional XT1080MDEV just for 2 days before it went to the Happy Hunting Ground. I bet you wouldn't call just bootloader mode available a functional state of the smartphone
I need to admit that in my case it is a total waste of money: I bothered to buy it new in a box from the person in Russia - it is more than 800 miles (while I reside in Moldova) for 270 EUR - just to have new Motorola DE device. But it is Motorola who had me again.... :good:
Hope this story would be a good lesson for you and I wish you never waste your time and money like I did.
Sorry guys, That is it.
