Hi all,
I am new towards rooting phones and installing Roms. I bought a used Motorola XT910 today and it seemed to have a Korean version of gingerbread installed on it. As soon as I got home I downloaded the first stock Rom I could find on the internet for Asia and installed it on the phone. I followed the instructions in the below mentioned video and the phone is now completely bricked.
I just Googled " how to unbrick motorola xt910" and followed the instructions in the 6:09 video that comes up by RAZRGUY.
I've spent hours and hours on the internet looking for a solution but cannot find any. please help me. I'm getting the message now that I cannot install cos the battery is low. it won't charge and keeps booting up even when I try to shut it down.
Please help!!

I can try to help you as I have an xt912, very similar but there is some difference. My Razr is CDMA/Verizon yours is GSM international.
First of all, when you turn on your phone, how far does it get? Red Moto M, then the bootanimation loops? or does it go from red moto m to black screen?
Hey,
The usual procedure is just to Hard Reset.
To do this, try
Step 1) With the phone off, Press & Hold the VOL UP+ & VOL DOWN- buttons simultaneously then while continuing to hold the VOL UP+ & VOL DOWN- buttons Press and Hold the POWER button till a menu appears.
Step 2) Use the VOL DOWN- button to navigate the menu & the VOL UP+ to select the RECOVERY option.
Step 3) When presented with a logo with an exclamation mark! Press & Hold the VOL UP+ & VOL DOWN- buttons simultaneously to bring up the next menu of options.
Step 4) Use the VOL DOWN- button to navigate the menu & the POWER button to select the Wipe data / Factory reset option.
Step 5) Use the VOL DOWN- button to navigate the menu to confirm this selection. Press the POWER button to begin the Factory Reset. (This may take a few minutes just be patient and wait.
Step 6) Once the task has completed press the POWER button to restart the device.

Or you may want to try manually flashing the original software to reset it back. You could try using flashtool.
Or You could contact the RC Help Chat 24/7

[Q] Unable to flash Lenovo A660 -> looped during factory reset -> unable to boot
Hello all!
I am having a really strange error with my phone. I can't flash it. Even when it says it's "Downloaded OK" -> green circle in Smart Phone Flash Tool, seems like nothing really happened.
The problem is, machine Lenovo A660 keeps restarting and "updating". Lenovo logo -> Android image with some weird blue shape -> restart. (5-10secs each repetition).
My Factory mode looks like this -> http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/594/img5854y.jpg/ (power on + volumne down)
This phone came with Etotalk MOD ROM.
Main problem occured, when I've couldn't access my applications -> Application not found error and lost all application icons. Then Google Play said, my account has never been used with this device. So I joined again, "re"installed applications. Some worked, but most of them kept shutting down with errors. So I decided for factory reset via software menu recovery and backup menu (??). Device started to "recovering" and it was doing for 20-30minutes - so I have restarted it.. bearing on mind, that factory reset did not work, as people stated it lasts around 7mins..
Then I have tried to flash it using various boot.img and recovery.img from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874403 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2104748
but they won't work. Seems like something starts earlier then true recovery tool.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

I have found and use stock-modded ROM for this phone, but it really seems like Smart Phone Flash Tool is not flashing this device.
The thing is, I never see that purple bar to come.
I am using only recovery and boot image. After hitting Download I connect phone, which got battery out for few secs, and leave it as is. Red bar fills up, yellow bar fills up and that all, green circle appears.
When I start device, no change has happened. :-/
Somebody help me, please..
Btw, what is that THL and which is on my phone? Do I actually need it?
I am really stuck.

If you would have some spare time, would you help me please?
This is my problem described in a deeper way -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=37983752
I think, that smart phone flash tool is not actually flashing the device at all.
Your help is probably the last I might get.. in case you know any other phone-expert.
I had this phone for almost a month and a week
PS: I have anohter exactly same phone in case it might help something in something.
Thank you very much in advanced.

You are correct, the standard recovery will not flash the ROM. You *must* first flash a custom recovery using the windows flash utility, and after that you can flash the ROM you linked to.
Read the first two posts in this thread, and the pages it links to, especially the two 'flash' links and the A660 recovery link.

Thank you for your help! After some hard battling with some button combinations I managed to get into some "etotalk" rom recovery, which fixed partitioning (using mke2fs tool) and getting clean "old" 4.0.4 android.
Thank you again! Phone is alive!
PS: I am not sure of the combination, but I pressed & hold both volume controls and simultaneously (or few ms later) pressed power on button.

This might no longer be up to date AND I am no expert but when I was "playing" with my A660, I noticed that some (generic) descriptions for flashing, etc. refer to up- and down volume buttons, which (because they are on the right side of the device?) are in some cases mirrored to some of the instructions. In other words, up is down and down is up (if that makes sense).
If I power off the device, I usually first press volume up (and keep it pressed), while then also pressing and holding the power button.
Once the screen comes to live, you may let go of the buttons.
This combination brings me into the CWM Recovery based Recovery Mode. My phone also had the ETOTALK ROM installed ...
Navigation is with volume up / down and item selction is with the power button!
Same procedure with volume down gets you into the "factory Mode" menu, where you can do all sorts of test. However, this mode is also required for some (!) flashing procedures (ofter referred to for adb access).
Scrolling through the entries with volume down. Accepting an entry with Volume Up!
Hope this helps,
Robert
New Lenovo A660

I also had exactly the same problem as you, when trying to do a factory reset on my phone too. the vol up+ power button don't work, instead the phone starts in the same looped state, displaying the green android logo & restarting.
somebody please help me out.

I have the same end result (after a factory reset (unintended) and unsuccesful attemts to put etotalk recovery rom back) i did a "format" from the flash tool): the phone appears dead, it will not power up. the flash tool does recognise the phone, and will download, memory test (it does say: "NAND Flash was not detected" however), etc.

using the instructions from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1943442 I got the phone unbricked, so I could put the original firmware back (thanks to etotalk tech support for that tip) and then upgrade again tothe etotalk ROM.

i can acess fastboot.
can you please explain all steps to start my phone or backup data to pc
use ' adb pull /sdcard/0/' to make a backup to your pc, you need to know that may not backup all your data, even that create folders they can be empty, use the code and wait untill its done then search on the backup to see if everything is there, then you can make a factory reset/wipe cache (will not erase any of your memory) and see what happends

Disable "Software Update" application for automatic app installing problem.
While getting 'no command' message, try the hardware buttons like menu, home, or combination of volume buttons; this will show up the hidden recovery menu.
If your phone is bricked, i.e stuck at the very first micromax logo, flash firmware with sp flash tools. Here is a guide for it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AoIg9-epPcM
Hi guys, I have a Moto G 1stGeneration. I followed the unroot guide at the unlockr.com (can't link it due to my newb status on these forums). And I was pretty much at the end of the process, then rebooted after flashing the TWRP Recovery. But then the 'WARNING BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED SCREEN' appeared... and now it won't go away. I can't even get into fastboot mode with Power + Vol Down. It just shuts off the Moto G fo a second, then the screen reappears. I dun goofed. I didn't clear the cache before reboot. I can't even connect the phone to my PC anymore (it isn't detected at all). I can't even just shut down the device. It just boots back up. Like it's giving me the finger. I'm ready to just wipe out the phone, then start over. But I have no idea how since I can't get into recovery mode at all. If I manage to shut it off, the warning screen reappears. Can't escape it. Any suggestions?
