I did a search but no solutions came up.
Basically, when I touch the screen to move the little lock icon over to unlock it nothing happens.
I powered it off by holding power for 10 seconds and then powered it on again.
No bueno, nothing happened.
Anyone else run into this and was able to solve it?
yes, i had the same problem, you will not like this..
do one step at the time and check if it works, if not continue to the next one
1. cold reboot (hold power button for 30-60 seconds),
you can try step 1 several times
2. turn it off, let it charge for 2-3 hours, turn it on
3. reboot to safe mode (this not really sure how i did it..lol.. i think is, turn off and turn on and quickly hold both volume keys until it boots up, if you did it correctly it will boot and say "safe mode" at the bottom left corner).
4. reset to factory settings, hold volume (-) and power key at the same time, (this will erase everything)
when i had this problem, i actually had to cold rebooted several times and reboot into safe mode after step 4 to have the touchscreen working again..I was about this close () to give up and return it to walmart..
I had the same thing happen to me, and all the rebooting in the world couldn't fix it. I don't know if you're still on stock rom or not, but what I did was reflashed the Prime rom and it worked again.
Nothing helped, even hard wipe.
Returned the TF.
I had this same problem... Unfortunately the only thing that worked was letting the power drain out. That was a huge pain because the Transformer has a killer battery and there are only so many times you can turn the screen on and off to drain it. It took about 4-5 days to fully drain. After that point I had upgraded to 3.1 and it has worked flawlessly since then... definitely a firmware problem not hardware.
I have a Fido Razr HD (xt925) in Canada, running stock JB, not unlocked/rooted/anything, just the standard phone.
So I did a hard reset, on the suggestion of some to deal with the stuttering issues (which I found were quite bad). Now I have somewhat of a worse issue, it's stuck in an infinite loop of the android update logo (the green android with the spinning blue thing), then a black screen then the motorola logo. Occassionally it shows the android logo on it's bag with a red symbol with a ! in it (which I presume means it's corrupt). It's just repeating endlessly. After 20 minutes or so I tried a few things, plugging it into a PC, holding down the power/volume up/volume down buttons (which makes it go to a black screen while I'm holding them, but then it goes back to looping as soon as I release them), nothing works.
Any suggestions on what I can do or is this a return to the store because it's dead problem?
Just try Power + volume down for 10 seconds (simulates a battery pull.) Aside from that if you can get into stock recovery try wiping data and cache and then rebooting. If you can't, take it back.

Did you ever get it fixed? I had the same issue and eventually found a path to success. Let me know if not and I'll see if I can help!

I wouldn't mind if you posted your path to success in case I run into the same problem at some point. My bootloader hasn't been unlocked as of yet. I'm holding out for a ROM that's really, really worth a proper flashing but am scared as hell about the issues people run into.. factory reset loops and failures, bootloader unlock loops now apparently. With the exception of Busybox, which has an uninstaller, I have everything symlinked into my /system directory from a folder in /data and it works great and makes everything easy to keep track of but there's always the doubt of the stray app that put a file there when I granted permission and I didn't know about it.
For my Razr HD, I found that holding volume up and down while the android logo did it's spinning until it ended got me to the recovery menu.. However this hasn't really fixed anything, every time I restart the phone it goes through the same process again and does a hard reset all over again. After a few seconds in the recovery menu it restarts the phone again and goes through a normal load process, but the phone is hard reset every time. It doesn't matter what option I select in the boot menu, it does the same thing (so I don't think it's detecting what option I select at all).
So back to Fido it goes.
Scratch the above post, someone posted a fix on the Fido forums that works perfectly, see thematrix49's post here - fido.ca/t5/forums/forumtopicpage/board-id/Smartphones/thread-id/8805
Same issue. Took me a while to figure it out through an amalgamation of various online helps. I repeated it several times to make sure it worked before I posted.
I was experiencing android logo with blue loading bar... after a few seconds it would stop and then quickly show the android symbol on its back with a red exclamation point logo. Then it would shut off.
- To restart, press and hold both power and volume down for approximately 10 seconds, then let go of the power.
(Should show Motorola logo, then go to green Android logo again)
- At Android Logo, immediately press the middle of the volume up/down rocker.... this should engage both buttons at once.
(I was able to initiate this with one press in the middle of the volume rocker... other times it took me a few quick presses)
(If done properly, the screen should stop and some yellow text will appear on the left side of the android logo.. let it continue, it may fail)
It should say:
Formatting /data....
Formatting /cache....
Data wipe failied.
Performing BP Masterclear...
This will bring up a blue text menu at the top. Use volume up/down to navigate. Power to select.
Go down to "wipe data/factory reset" and select by hitting power. Go down to "yes" and select by hitting power.
It should properly format the /data and /cache after about a minute. Once it completes it will bring the blue text menu back up. Select "reboot system now" by hitting the power button.
Voila.

Took a while to get the volume press to work, it's just a press, not a press and hold. I just kept tapping it over and over until it worked.
Guys can you post your build.prop and default.prop files? it needed to get fido fw with jb.
THANK YOU.......My Motorola xt925 went "Boot Loop" after i reset the settings. Neither Telstra or Motorola could help. Excellent work Champdood.......

THANK YOU! You just saved me so much trouble and it was quite the worrisome situation I was in. Sidenote for anyone reading this after June 6, 2013. The link to that Fido forum may be dead but Champdood's instructions are the straight goods! :good:
Is there a permanent fix for this? I have to go through those fix steps every time I wipe my phone as it continues to go into loop...

Me too! I also noticed that the version that re-installed (the one time I did it) wasn't completely stable. It acted super weird adding an icon of one of my apps to the top left position of the screen one swipe over from the main/home screen every time I did a reboot.
At first I didn't even know what was happening only that my Google Now widget (which I usually keep in that space) was disappearing every time I rebooted and an icon was in the top left corner instead. Finally, I realized what was happening. Weirdest part of it all is that if the OS put an icon in there, on a reboot it would remain the same. But if I tried putting an icon there (or widget) on reboot it would be replaced.
Champdood saved my phone...
I would like to add that the same thing happened to me. I performed a factory reset from Settings > Privacy > Factory Reset and that just sent the phone into an endless loop of red logo > android logo > android logo on back > power off > repeat. Nice job Motorola.
On Motorola help pages it was all about Power button + Down and getting the white menu where you volume down to choose and volume up to select. That would successfully reset the phone but as soon as I powered down and up again: back in the infinite loop.
In desparation, I found this thread. Completely unique to hit the Power Up+Down simultaneous as a press not a hold when see the Android logo, indeed, brought up a blue screen, followed the instructions, successfully reset and so far, have been able to successfully power down and back up again. Will be bookmarking this page.
Thank you so much Champdood!
Alternative External Reset Instructions from Motorola themselves...
Hey, as mentioned Champdood's factory reset instructions work fine. Since reading this thread, I realized other's are having the same problem resetting using the menu (Settings > Privacy > Factory Reset), so I initiated a chat with Motorola about this. The person would not respond to my quizzing about the reason for this but did say it was called an Internal Reset and then named Champdood's method the External Reset. He also gave slightly different instructions for accessing the blue menu. I am reproducing both sets of instructions for you all here:
From Motorola Customer Service:
PERFORMING AN INTERNAL RESET:
From the home screen of your phone, touch Menu
Touch System settings
Scroll down and touch Privacy
Touch Factory Data Reset
Scroll down and check Erase internal storage if you would like to erase all the data on the phone internal storage such as applications, music, movies or photos.
Touch Reset Phone
PERFORMING AN EXTERNAL RESET:
WARNING: When using this feature; everything is deleted from the device.
NOTE: Reset will require a minimum battery level of 25%. If you are unable to perform a reset, please charge for 20-30 minutes and try reset again.
With the phone powered off, press the VOL UP + VOL DOWN KEY together + POWER KEY .
The device will display different BOOT OPTIONS
Use the VOL DOWN Key to SCROLL to Recovery and VOL UP Key to SELECT
Tip: If the device reboots, you may have waited to long to make a selection, you will need to begin the process again.
The device will display the Motorola logo and then the Android in distress ( logo with Exclamation mark)
Press and hold the VOL DOWN key for 5-10 seconds
While still holding the VOL DOWN key tap and release the VOL UP key.
The device will display additional menu options (Text will appear in BLUE)
Use the VOL DOWN Key to scroll to Wipe data / factory reset and the POWER Key to SELECT this option.
Use the VOL DOWN key again to select YES - delete all user data and press the POWER key to CONFIRM
Once the Formatting is complete, press the POWER key to confirm a REBOOT
The device will reboot and start the normal power up sequence .
Motorola Razor Issue Fixed
Your Tip really helped me fix my Motorola Razor HD phone.
Created my account only to write a thanks and to comment for the same.
Thanks
Another thanks.
My wife's phone was doing this after a Settings menu factory reset, but the instructions champdood posted worked.
I had to re-re-format the data and cache partitions about four times, but after that it worked!
And somehow root was preserved; SuperSU was missing, but I had root over adb.
Cheers champdood.
Perfect fix

hello guys
i have the problem with my motorola xt925,
it refused to boot, uit only gets stuck at the loading screen logo (the red eye)
i tried hard reseting it but it does not show the android distress after i selected the recovery in the boot menu.
please help
I am using Virtuous Butterfly with the kernel that came with the ROM. I was trying to check my Whatsapp when i realised it wont reload, i tried to turn off wifi and it also wont turn off so I decided to restart the phone by pressing the restart button. I went to take a shower and came back with the thing at the boot screen. I tried the hold down power and volume down trick but it just wont restart this time!
I tried to use the command "adb reboot bootloader" and nothing happened, I unplugged the cable and it is still stuck on the screen. When I press the power button, the screen will turn off and when I press it again, it will turn on, just like standby mode. I am downloading the RUU now and I will try to flash it, hope that works! If not I will just wait for the battery to die and try to charge it and boot it up again.
Anyone knows how to fix this? Cuz the power and volume down thing just wont work and the phone doesnt have a removable battery
Stay push on the power button instead it restart (with holding the low volume button), the leds will blink and it will boot on bootloader.

I had a similar experience with my first One X (International) slept in the afternoon and woke up an hour later for it to be stuck at HTC welcome screen, at first I could enter bootloader, but no RUU available at the time for recovery, it eventually wouldn't even start after charging to full, just black screen....
I was told my motherboard was bad....
Anyway I hope its not the same for you, try charging to green light and turn on. If you can get to bootloader try reinstalling RUU if possible...
Now the phone wont even start after the battery died No LED when charging no response when pushing power button. Only response is when I hold power and down, the buttons would blink. Is it doomed?
stay your phone on charge for 1 hour and stay push on the power button (it should start after the blinking)

Thank you! It saved my phone! Its now booting properly and I can go to fastboot and recovery without any problems, I wonder what happened though.
I am glad to see it worked.
You know what to do if it happens again now.

Sorry, i am really new to this site, and never had a problem like this with a previous phone.
I get home from the grocery store and my phone is off, so it seems, plugged in it, got the M to pop up do the little world thing, then the screen goes to black,
i leave it to charge a little while, come back, and everthing on my phone is working , except for the actual display{now i know its not the display or screen because when i boot it there are no problems with the boot/restart} and if i touch around the screen it lightly vibrates, weird,
i put it to boot menu and my first time trying a normal restart nothing, so i go to motorolas website to get an application to back up my data or something get the motorola device manager and its useless, all it does is tell me my drivers are up to date, look around some more for an easy backup program can't find any except one that won't connect because i can't see where to press ok on the screen
just ended up copy pasting over all 5 gigs of hardrive space
i try to do factory reset, but if i click factory on the boot menu it just restarts it, if i go into recovery it pops up the picture of the opened android robot, and says no command, i have tried pressing volume up for 15 seconds, and then taping the power button to no avail,
interestingly enough once i managed to get the screen on for the phone then it faded to black like a screen saver never to come back.
Anyone know what i can do to unbrick the phone?a program that i can go in and restore it back to factory settings?
i recently updated to 5.0 maybe on friday, haven't had problems, or dropped phone since then
just extremely frustrating,
Recovery key combination was changed after lollipop. Press and hold power button for few seconds and then tap vol up (when you see android robot and no command)
Sent from my XT1033 using XDA Free mobile app
U can flash stock firmware also from your pc..press vol down + power button for fastbootmod then press vol down and then vol up and power button for recovery mod
Just some minutes ago my S7 froze because of Focus Gallery App. I don't exactly know what it did but the phone did not respond any more.
So pressing the power button did not bring back the phone either. After searching for a bit I found a way to simulate a bettery disconnect by pressing Volume Down + Power Button.
The Phone came back up and displayed the initial boot logo. Also the blue LED is on. But nothing happens from here on. I do not come to the "Samsung" boot animation and the phone simply
does nothing. Retriying Volume Down + Power Button doesn't seem to help too. I tryed all button combinations but nothing brings the phone back.
I also cannot enter the recovery menu. So no chance to reset to default settings.
I am running a stock Android on the phone. Nothing was done by me. No custom ROM, no root, just plain Samsung Android.
Is there sill something I can do?
Edit: I just got into whats seems to be ODIN Mode??? Can I do something from here?
Oddly this happened to me last night although I may have inadvertently done it. But the only way I was able to get my phone functioning again was reflashing the OS to the phone.
How did you manage to get the phone into Odin mode? I'm having the same issue with the phone being totally unresponsive but the blue LED on.
if you can reboot your phone with the VOL Down/Power, when the screen goes black, quickly press and hold VOL Up, Home and Power. it should enter recovery. or hold Vol down, Home and Power to enter the download screen.
I have the S7 Edge (rooted, custom ROM) and it's running fine. My girlfriend's regular S7 is having the same issue though.
When she plugged it in to charge last night, she checked it a few minutes later at which point the phone had (started to) reboot. The blue notification LED was on and the screen had frozen at the 'SA' from the 'SAMSUNG' startup logo. Forced a reboot with down+power, resulting in just the blue LED (no logo this time). Phone was unresponsive (couldn't force a reboot again) so left the battery to drain overnight. The phone is completely dead today even after charging - no LED, no boot, no anything.
I'm not sure if she had the phone scheduled to perform an update overnight and it froze halfway through, but that would be my first guess. So far, no fix.
